ceitfiannaTo begin with, thank you so much for writing for me. Yuletide is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season and this year has been another tough one, so I'd prefer stories that lean towards the lighter side. I know how heavy these fandoms can be so if there's any darkness, add some light too. My favorite sorts of stories are missing moments, character studies and that feel as if they fit within the world of the canon.
I love all of these fandoms because of the depth of the worlds and the characters, I enjoy action and plot if it fits. When a writer can pull off a complex plot, I love it as that's something I'm not good at writing. If you choose to include sex and violence, I ask that if they're there; no rape/dubcon or torture. All of the ones I've asked for are from worlds with difficult aspects to them and I enjoy how the characters interact with and are changed by what's around them. Also even though I've only requested one or two characters, all of these canons revolve around large and complex casts, so please add others into the mix.
Old Kingdom: Sameth, Ferin-Goldenhand made me incredibly happy as Ferin was a wonderful outside perspective on the Old Kingdom. Also Sameth is my favorite character and I loved how he and Ferin interacted. One reason I love Sameth is because of how he doesn't fully fit and that he's still figuring out how to do what he does within his world. I find the ways that he interacts and understands the Charter intriguing and appreciated how Ferin just got him in a way that other characters outside of Nick haven't. I'd love to see more of her interactions with the Old Kingdom, the Charter, with them and how they change each other and the Old Kingdom. One of my favorite things with Sameth is his interactions with Nick, Ellimere, Lirael, his parents and would adore any of them being worked in.
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance: Hup-I'm fascinated by Hup, because he's clearly a podling who's spent time enough around gelflings to understand them. While also not being happy with how things are, I'd love to know more of maybe how he got to that point. I find Hup fascinating and now that there's a comic with some background would love to know more. Either from before he meets Deet, his time with her and also his time while healing. I"m not naming specific other characters as musts but I do love Deet, Rian, Brea, Archer and their interactions with him. I want an excuse to visit this world again.
October Daye series: The Luidaeg I loved the last book and had a hard time figuring out who to ask for so I think I'm going to go with the Luidaeg as her story and family is at the center of everything. I'd love her perspective and thoughts on changes, what's she's seen or even wonderful lighter moments with the new generation of Fae that's she's been leaving a mark on. Please include anyone that you'd like since she lives at the center of a lovely big world of people who care. I also really love the various teens; Quentin, Raj, Dean, Chelsea and have requested them previous years so would love to see them if they fit.
The Will Darling Adventures: Will Darling, Kim Secretan I've fallen in love with this series because I love the 1920s vibes as well as the complicated relationship between Will and Kim. As the last book ended with them figuring out domestic life, I'd love to spend time in that world with them. One reason I love these books is they combine my love for older mysteries like Christies but with a far more interesting and diverse mix of characters. It would be fun to see more of this world and also as a librarian, I get Will in a lot of ways. Will and Kim also remind me of some of my favorite tropes in terms of fighters and spies trying to figure out what peace looks like. For this one in particular, I'm all for some good smut but for me it needs the emotional stuff to make it work.
Ever After: Danielle de Barbarac, Prince Henry This is one of my favorite movies and it makes me happy to see it on the tagset. I think what I'd really love to see is what happens next, seeing these two make each other and their worlds better, create change or just enjoy themselves. I love all the secondary characters and the rich world in this movie and want more of it, this is one of those films where you can see that certain characters truly care for each other as they have that easy intimacy. Give me more of that please as well as the sense of humor and wonder that's such a part of this movie.
