dear yuletide author

[millepertuis]

Well, first of all, hello! And nice to meet you! If we got matched on this fandoms, you can only be an awesome person. First Yuletide, so I'm pretty much winging this letter. Sorry if it's too/not enough specific. Feel free to ignore everything.
Thank you so much for writing me a fic, have fun, and, uhm, good luck?


LIKE: flawless lady friendships, crazy family antics, morally gray characters, people on a mission, banter, UST, RST, happy things, angst, AUs, crack, anything that's character-based, cute ships, cute <i>and</i> awkward ships, dark ships, angst-y ships, unhealthy ships being recognized as such, etc.

DISLIKE: character bashing, wingfic, mpreg, rape/non-con, major character deaths; basically anything that would leave me on the verge of hanging myself. Dark is good but not everybody-dies-and-nobody-will-ever-be-happy-again dark. Also, no to the babyfics.

• THE LIZZIE BENNET DIARIES; Lizzie Bennet, William Darcy, Caroline Lee, Charlotte Lu

I would pretty much love anything. This fandom makes me pretty desperate for fic.
If you want something more specific, I'd love anything with Darcy and Darcy/Lizzie, whether it's his version of what's happened so far or something based on the future, canon-based or not. Anything involving makeouts and/or them being awkward with each other is gold.
I also have a little something for Caroline/Lizzie, shippy or not, or Charlotte and Lizzie's friendship, whether it's pre-canon, or anything really.

• THE NEWSROOM; any

Basically, I love everybody in this newsroom? Go crazy. My main ships here are Jim/Maggie, Mac/Will, Don/Sloan, and I love every single friendship in this show. If you want to do an ensemble piece, I'd be delighted – journalists in space, that time Bigfoot <i>was</i> real, anything.
I love Maggie yelling at Jim and Mac being crazy and Sloan being socially awkward and Neal and Bigfoot and their crusade to make the world better.

• ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT; any

I'll admit I ship Lindsay/Michael or the slightly less questionable George Michael/Maeby, but I'm also all for gen fic.
Love: Lucille being an awful mother, Lindsay being terrible  – the whole family being, as usual, horrible  – Tobias being delightfully ridiculous, George Michael being an awkward mess, GOB trying, and mostly failing, to make his father proud, Michael having to deal with everyone's problems... Crack is always welcome here.

• REVENGE; Emily Thorne, Nolan Ross, Amanda Clarke

My dream fic here involves Emily and Nolan being awesome. I ship it to hell and back, but if that's not your thing gen is absolutely fine. 
I'd also love anything exploring Emily and Amanda's relationship (again, romantically or otherwise), especially with Amanda's worship of Emily and how much exactly is it manipulation on Emily's side and whether Amanda is completely blind to that side of her or not.
