Make the yuletide gay
Dear ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide author:
Yay, you're writing me a fic! This is a thing I love, and I'm already excited to read it. If you already have an awesome idea you're totally excited to write, feel free to go ahead and do just that - I love every one of these fandoms, so I'm sure to enjoy anything you could possibly write, especially if you love it, too. But in case you're still looking for that perfect idea, these are just a few of the things I love in fic, and in the fandoms I requested, which may give you some idea of what would make me particularly happy.
In general, I love fun, happy fic, and am not so much into angst. Which is not to say you can't write something that's angsty, if that's what you feel like doing. I love banter, unresolved (and resolved) sexual tension, romantic comedy, action/adventure, wacky hijinks, humour, crack, and ridiculous AUs. I love apocafic, angsty or otherwise (but especially otherwise). I love first times, and secret relationships, and ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, and rekindling old relationships. I love people being in love without having to say it, and people who are obviously in love but maybe don't realise it, and ridiculously overblown romantic gestures where one person completely embarrasses themselves, because that's kind of the point of the grand gesture. The stuff I don't love pretty much boils down to making the characters I love unhappy for no good reason. And character bashing, even of characters I don't like.
Wizards Of Waverly Place (Justin/Alex)
I would really love Justin/Alex shippy fic for this, but if incest squicks you, I totally understand; Justin and Alex genfic, or ensemble fic, would be just as welcome. I love the show a lot, so something in that vein, with humour and implausible situations and wacky magical hijinks, would be fantastic, but I'd also love any kind of fic, from action/adventure to cracky AU to angsty apocafic. I love the extended cast, family and friends and random guest stars alike, so fic featuring some of them would be all kinds of awesome (and I particularly love Max, who I find ridiculously endearing at all times). And more than anything, I love the relationship between Justin and Alex, whether in a regular sibling-y way or not, and I love them being at the centre of each other's worlds, even if they'd never admit it.
Okay, so the thing is, I love Justin/Alex, in a shippy way, a lot, but maybe even more than that, I love their family dynamic. So, even if you pair them up - which I am obviously not at all opposed to - I'd rather you not mess with that too much; more than anything, if you can manage it, I love fics where they're just Justin and Alex, the same way they always are, only sometimes they make out a little. If you're not writing Justin/Alex, I'd rather receive genfic than fic that focuses on other pairings; while I have nothing against the canon pairings, and even really like some of them, they're not really what I want to read about. I'd love anything set during the series' run, or before/during/after the movie, or even post-series fic, though I'm not as interested in fic set far in the future, but anything from post-eps to episode- or movie-style fic to stuff that's completely different in style would be completely awesome. And I'm not at all opposed to crack, or to the generous overuse of tropes and clichés, but serious fic is cool, too.
Miss Match (Any)
I love this fandom, and I would love any kind of fic written for it - gen or shippy, drama, comedy, crack, crossover, AU, whatever. As far as pairings go, Adam/Kate is my favourite; I'd love to see fic where he keeps pursuing her, and where she (reluctantly) falls for him, but obviously that's just one of the many things I would love. (Other things I love: hanging out at the bar, Kate in matchmaking mode, first dates, blind dates, not-a-date dates, anything and everything where characters interact with each other. I'm fairly easy to please.) I also ship Michael/Kate and Nick/Victoria as well as Kate/Victoria (femslashy or as BFF), and if there are other ships you enjoy, go for it; the only thing I'm not really looking for in this fandom is boyslash. Anything in the style of the show is great, as is anything not in the style of the show; really, anything at all would be fantastic.
This is one of my favourite fandoms that nobody but me loves, so really, it would be difficult to go wrong writing fic for it. Last year, I put together a fandom primer that mentions a bit about what I love about the show, which is, basically, all of the characters, all of the relationships, the fact that every episode contains its very own miniature romantic comedy, and, well, everything else. Basically, I just really love Miss Match a lot. My favourite characters are ... all of them, really, but especially Kate, Victoria, Adam, Nick, Michael, and Serena. I'd particularly love anything in the style of the show - that is to say, something romantic comedy-ish - but I'd be just as happy to read something plotty, or dramatic, or smutty, or anything else you could possibly write. Miss Match crossovers are also more than welcome, and really, anything at all written in this fandom would be beyond awesome, so if you have an idea you'd like to write, run wild with it!
Greek (Ashleigh)
Ashleigh is my favourite character in this fandom, so any fic where she plays a major role would be fantastic. I'm into both het and femslash, if you want to pair her up - I particularly love the relationship between Ashleigh and Rebecca, whether shippy or otherwise, but pairing her with pretty much anyone except Rusty is okay with me. (And if you're looking for a specific prompt, I would never say no to fic where Ashleigh and Rebecca go to a gay bar. Or a strip club.) I'd also love ensemble genfic, since I love just about every character in the show; I really love stuff that focuses on Greek life (especially Zeta Beta Zeta, but also Kappa Tau and Omega Chi), and involving some sort of fraternity-sorority event would probably make my year.
Okay, so, I love Ashleigh a lot, in case you didn't get that from my request. I'd really love any fic with her in a major role, but I'm more than happy for other characters to star, too; I pretty much love everyone, and Rebecca, in particular, is a close second favourite. Like I said in my request, I love the Greek life stuff, and Greek social events, but don't feel like you have to write about that, if it doesn't appeal; if you'd rather write a character or relationship study, or something focusing on some other aspect of university life, or anything else you come up with, go with that. As far as pairings go, I'm fairly easygoing and multishippy in this fandom, so I'd probably love most things you could write. If you're into femslash, I really love Ashleigh/Rebecca, though Casey/Ashleigh is cool also; I like Fisher/Ashleigh, though preferably without the recent angst, and if you have a pet Ashleigh pairing I haven't mentioned, I'm sure that would be awesome, too. As far as including other pairings, go for it! I like Cappie/Casey and Evan/Casey (and Cappie/Casey/Evan), Cappie/Rebecca, Evan/Rebecca, Beaver/Rebecca, and Calvin/Heath, among, I'm sure, countless others, though I'd prefer not to have to read too much about Rusty or Dale's romantic lives.
She's The Man (Olivia/Viola)
Olivia/Viola is my favourite thing in this fandom, so if you're into femslash, I would love any story that pairs them up; during the movie, or afterwards, or in some sort of AU, or in any other kind of way you can think of. I'd also be happy with friendship fic, because, really, anything with the two of them would be completely awesome, and I love pretty much everyone in the movie, so ensemble fic would be fantastic, too. I'd particularly love any kind of romantic comedy fic, but I'd also love humour or crack or drama or anything in the style of the movie or the original Shakespeare, or, well, anything else you could come up with. As far as other pairings go, I particularly love Kia/Yvonne and Paul/Andrew, and I also like Duke/Viola as an alternative to Olivia/Viola (or as coexisting with it - OT3 is also love).
In case you can't tell, I really love Olivia/Viola, so femslashy fic in this fandom would make me ridiculously happy, but friendshippy genfic is also cool - as long as Olivia and Viola are interacting in some way, I'm happy. I also love Paul and Yvonne and Kia a whole lot, and the ensemble as a whole, and carnivals and matchmaking and humourous misunderstandings and mistaken identity and costumes and confusing feelings and, well, pretty much everything about the movie. Whether you decide to write gen or femslash, the only thing I would ask is that there be no character bashing, especially of Duke - yes, he is Viola's canonical love interest, but I do like him, so feel free to keep him around, or to get rid of him in any way you like, as long as it isn't mean.
