The Yuletide Letter

a_qDear Yuletide Writer,
So, you got me huh? Great! Welcome!
This is my very first Yuletide letter, so let’s get straight down to the business.
If you glance my tags on the right, you will immediately notice that Marvel Universe is seriously crowding the space here. If you glance little closer, you will also notice that there is kink around. Plenty of it.
I write kink - you don’t have to! My writing register is limited, but my reading register is massive (it is just harder to show through a tag cloud). If you want to write kink, yay, but everything else will work perfectly as well.
I tried to craft my requests in mellow and / or non-threatening way, because I tried to think easy starting points for a fic. This doesn't mean that you have to stick with that point, you can happily run to the angsty, emotionally tortured landscapes if you like (just remember to wear protective gear).
In a nuttshell: I like my female characters strong and competent, kicking ass and taking names. I like my vampires dangerous, slightly psychotic monsters with buckets of blood all over. I like crossovers that work and make strange sense. I like being moved (by suspense, tears or laughter).
I don’t like OC’s much, so if you want to add people try crossovering instead.
Kindred the Embraced (any)
The 13 years later -request.
I was having a vampire show & movie marathon awhile back and suddenly realized how long it has been since this show aired, hence the next thought: what would’ve happened? I mean, 13 years is a lot for the human characters but nothing for the kindred characters. Maybe nothing changed for them and everything changed for the humans? Other way around?
There is no need to cover every single character of the show, concentrate on the aspect you like - change/no change is the key.
Live Free or Die Hard (Mai)
Who is she? -request
Ok, here is something that bugs me: all fanfic revolves around Matt/McClane (or all the fic I’ve read, but maybe I hang around in wrong communities…) And yet the movie has this fab female character who gets minimal amount of screen time and whose relationship with Gabriel boils down to one kiss.
…Ok.
I think there is more than that. Please tell me what!
Modesty Blaise
The Day Off -request
I’ve read books and I’ve read comics, so you have the freedom to go with either (not that they really differ all that much). I like the funny Modesty that is shown at times in books, the girlfriend or the great hostess or the patron of arts. I’m kinda after a character study in this request, but if you want to write a little adventure or girly shopping spree, that would be cool too! She kicks ass all day, every day... And then what?
Janet Evanovich - Stephanie Plum series
The Carefree -request
I like Stephanie because she is competent and incompetent at the same time and that is awesome. But she never have proper fun and she really deserves to have some, right? So let’s have fun!
You can easily add strange coincidences, pastries, explosions and/or chasing bad guys in the mix, I don’t think you can go too wacky in this fandom!
Hope this helped and Happy writing!
