DEAR YULETIDE SANTA!
Happy Yuletide, O Fanfic Santa!
This is my third year doing Yuletide, and it is always such a great project. I am so happy to participate again, and of course to thank you in advance for writing a little something-something for me!
Most of my fanfic is archived at Fanfiction.net and Fan Nation (The work at Fannation tends to be more cleaned up, but isn't all of my work.) There are a few pieces posted here on my livejournal, too.
I am not really a slash kinda person. My personal philosophy is "If it's not in canon, why write it?" The only exception is if you write something SO over the top, in a humorous way. In that case, anything goes!
In fact, I love parody. I love making fun of fandom if it's clever and well written. I can even enjoy Mary Sues if they are fun, clever, and obvious parodies.
Great banter makes me smile! Silliness can, too! But if you want to write angst, that's ok, too! Adventure? That's great! Sad? That's fine! Philosophical? Go for it! Really, anything that's creative and well written is a wonderful thing!
As for my requests:
The Blues Brothers
This has been one of my main fandoms over the past year or so. I've been writing a lot of angsty Elwood stuff lately, but don't think that is all I would love to read. But I would like BB fic to remember the main premise of the whole fandom - these are BAD guys, but with some good deep down inside. Playing with that contrast always is good.
I love the dynamics between the brothers and Curtis. I'd love to see anything - before, during, or after the film takes place - that highlights the father/son relationships. It does not need to include both brothers, but it can. I tend more towards Elwood, but I am completely open to Jake fics. But please - no slash (they are brothers, after all).
And please no Blues Brothers 2000. I try to forget that ever happened. I would prefer slash to BB2000, and I don't like BB slash at all... that's how much BB2000 would make me sad...
Hellboy (comic)
I have only just gotten into the comic. Like many, I got into this through the movies, but I would actually like to see something from the comicverse - mainly because there are so many more characters to play with. I am also not really all that into the Liz/Hellboy thing, which is not in the comicverse. If you move between comicverse and movieverse, however, it's ok. I won't be a purist!
Actually, I love Abe. I would love to see more of Abe Sapien as he is in the comicverse. Romantic or not, doesn't matter. Maybe his role at B.P.R.D.? Or maybe before his transformation? It really doesn't matter. Just love to see some more Abe.
Honestly, the fandom is intimidating, because Mignola is such the master. The prospect of coming up with a real story is frightening to me, so I have never really ventured into writing this fandom myself (except for one 3 part Cheesy Parody/Cross-over/Mary Sue/Friendfic: Pops , He Drinks Like A Fish, and Go to Hell, Boys.) But anything would really be great!
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (tv)
Any story in this fandom would be great. Seriously, I am open to anything here. If you can make it very angsty, that would be great. Buck angst is good.
What I love about the show is the cheese factor, so that would also be a winner. If you make it more true to the script, please try to get the cheesy feel of the show. Lots of silly fight scenes or Buck being the ladies man, or some silliness like that. The "I can actually hear the late 1970's disco music playing the background" kind of cheese. An Andromeda Rock Concert Performance kind of cheese.
I prefer first season.
Man from Earth (movie)
I can't imagine anyone writing this - mainly because I am the only one who offered and requested this fandom. Obscure, indeed. It is, however, a great movie.
Premise: The Higlander Series, without the violence. Sort of. An Neanderthal Man finds immortality. Through the ages, he assumes different identities. He has been historical figures of the past, and has known historical figures in the past. The movie takes place in the present, as he confesses his secret to his friends, just before he moves on to restart his next identity.
I would like to have a story that depicts John in one of his other identities. It does not have to be any that are mentioned in the movie, but it can be. Please, make it historically accurate.
So, that's it. My requests for Yuletide 2008. Honestly, anything in these fandoms would be great!
Thanks! And happy writing!
