Dear Yuletide Author 2011!
Nov. 20th, 2011 02:33 pmDear Yuletide Author:
I'm sorry you're stuck with my oddball requests! Not to mention how one-track they are; to have a requester who keeps coming back to slash, femmeslash, and more slash might give you the eye-rolls, rightly so. But I'm a romantic (or at least an erotic), and my favorite part of fanfiction is coupling folk together in the most delicious and unpredictable of intimacies. I ask forgiveness, but I don't really apologize for wanting. I'm only sorry that you might be unfairly burdened.
But, here you are and here I am, so, on with the requests. You've read the email, so, all that's left to add is the general stuff. I've asked for serious stories; not that I don't like lunatic crack but these three fandoms are new ground for me and I feel if they aren't taken seriously it will mean they're not to be taken seriously, and I'll be embarrassed for even wanting them. Does that make sense?
This doesn't mean I wouldn't want humor. Humor is so often what allows pairings like these to come into existence, isn't it? Wit and banter feel like they'd be necessary to drive the relationships in two out of my three requested fandoms, actually.
( 1776 )
( Disney Princesses )
( The Avengers (2012) )
My LJ is open to anonymous comments; you can ask me any questions here if you have 'em.
Most importantly, THANK YOU. I hope the whole thing seems a delightful challenge!
