Dear Yuletide Writer,
Let me first compliment you on having excellent taste in fandoms! And thank you for writing me a fic, I’m sure I’ll love it!
So, a bit more about my fandom likes in general and expanding on my prompts. I think my only general fanfiction like is that I like fic that really uses language to paint a picture, both of the characters involved and their world. I know that can be a tall order, but I thought I’d throw it out there.
More specifically:
RPF - Takarazuka Revue: Ayaki Nao/Shibuki Jun
Anything goes, relationship spectrum-wise. I'd love something romantic, but I'd also be happy with just the two of them as good friends. Though if you want to go relationship-y, bonus points for the SS uniform from _Seal of Roses_ being involved somehow.
Okay, I’ll admit that my love for this pairing comes entirely from the dance finale of Seal of Roses where Saeko is more or less all over Rika. And it sticks in my head as a pairing that would just be really cute. Like I said in my prompt, feel free to make just a fun, friends fic, I’ll be just as happy as if you couple them up.
Speaking of, I much prefer sexual tension/innuendo to out-and-out sex scenes. Fading to black is perfectly fine in my book.
Also, I’m perfectly okay with any other ‘sienne’s making an appearance. I’m a huge fan of both Kiriyan and Yuuhi, but their presence is not required.
RPF - Takarazuka Revue: Otozuki Kei
Gah, I've got this unshakable image in my head of Kimu as the naughty schoolboy of Snow troupe, and would love to read fic in that vein.
I have no idea where this particular mental image came from, but oh do I love it… It doesn’t help that I think she plays the dirtiest Luigi in the 2007 Elisabeth. Here I’m looking for flirting/sexual tension stuff all the way up into smex. Fading to black is still fine of course. In general, if you’re pairing her up (exclusively or not), I’d prefer it stick to Yukigumi ‘siennes, as I’m not quite as familiar with the other troupes. The one exception here is Kaname.
Also, for rather complicated personal reasons, please no pairing her up with Yumiko. Thank you.
Elisabeth (musical): Death/Elisabeth/Rudolf
I'd really love something between Rudolf and Elisabeth, with Der Tod sort of hanging over both of them. But feel free to have fun. I'm looking for mostly gen fic here - sexual tension yes (and possibly a must), but no more than that.
I find the relationship (or lack thereof) between Elisabeth and her son so fascinating, mainly because he so idolizes her, and she takes so very little interest in anything outside herself. Anywhere along the course of their lives would be interesting, I think, though it’s hard to find young boy Rudolf fic, and thus if you’re feeling up to it, I think it’d be interesting.
Der Tod does not have to make an appearance (though he’s always welcome to!), but I think at least some mention has to be made of the influence he casts over both Elisabeth and Rudolf’s lives.
In terms of versions – I have only seen the Takarazuka versions, all except for 1996 Yukigumi. However, don’t feel that has to limit you.
Tanya Huff - Valor series: Any
I'd like some gen fic please, perhaps pre-series with Torin and her platoon? I'm not a huge fan of Craig Ryder in general, and definatly not a huge fan of his relationship with Torin, so I'd prefer he not play a major role. Please no spoilers for the fourth book, I've not read it yet.
My reaction to finding this on the accepted fandoms list was ‘Dear lord, people write fanfiction about this series? I thought I was the only one who read it!’ So pretty much anything is going to rock my world. I love Torin to death, and as I said in my prompt, I’d love to see some pre-series interactions between her and the platoon. I love a lot of the characters we met in the first book – Binti, Ressk, etc, and I was sad we didn’t see them in the other books.
I’m not really keen on relationship fic of any kind for this fandom, would much prefer to see slice-of-life stuff. And as I said, please no spoilers for the fourth book.
