Hello, fellow Yulegoat! Thank you again for volunteering for this momentous undertaking. I'm so glad that we were paired up, and I am grateful that you've gifted me with your talent and time this yuletide. You are fantastic and a big damned hero in my eyes. Many cheers!

In general: I'm really up for anything. I mean, I read the Care Bears BDSM fic and was more amused than squicked. Death!fic can be okay, fluffy slice of life fic can be okay. This year I'm leaning toward a more fluffy, family-oriented holiday theme, just because it's been a tough year for me. No worries if that doesn't float your boat! My main concern is that you treat the characters right and write them a story that fits with their canon. I just ask for good fic, for the characters to be loved and treated well, and for you to have fun with this. Thank you for my wonderful gift, Yuletide Wonderperson. The fact that you signed up for one of my fandoms makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and I love sharing this fandom with you.

So, in terms of fandoms:

Young Wizards:  Ronan, Carmela.

International chocolate syndicate. In Games Wizards Play, Carmela and Ronan finally form the unholy chocolate 'trading' alliance. Please, tell me more about this. Past, present, future. Just give me more snark and more awesomeness and the universe vs. the International Chocolate Syndicate. I love Carmela and her love of words, her talent for linguistics, her sense of self and her atomic curling iron. Ronan is my woobie, all snarky and broken and so capable and awesome and dark and brooding. Put them together, add some chocolate, and I see great things. Or maybe just lots of things blowing up. Pure adventure here!

Dark is Rising: Merriman Lyon

I make my living studying King Arthur. The line that made me keep reading the Dark is Rising Sequence (because, let's be honest, Over Sea, Under Stone is not the most exciting book) was Barney's revelation of Merry Lyon to Merlin. I've always wanted to know more about Merriman, whether it's his connection to Arthur, his infinite number of lives he's hand to create, or even his connection to the Drews. I would love to see this mystical figure humanized -- how he's loved and lost and kept on going. Kinda like Jack Harkness in Doctor Who/Torchwood. I'd really like some character development here, and if Merriman interacts with some old friends (Arthur, the Drews, etc.), bonus points for me! Ideas: Merriman reflecting on his life, Merriman harrassing some junior scholar at Oxford who gets Arthur *wrong,* Merriman carefully molding the Drews into the heroes he knows they will be.

Anne of Green Gables: Anne

Anne is me and I am Anne. Seriously: impulsive red-head with temper. I didn't gel with any characters until I met Anne about the age of eight. I love her scraps and her scrapes and her impulsive mishaps. I love her in every shape and form: young girl, young bride, mother, and matron. I just want to see the Anne that inspired me so many years ago, with her quick thinking and not-quite-thinking-through, her temper and her sense of humor, and her ability to (eventually) laugh at herself. Whether it's Marilla, or Gilbert, or Diana, or even Susan Baker bailing her out of her scrap, I just want to see more of Anne's Anne-ish adventures of being Anne.

In general: I'm really up for anything. I mean, I read the Care Bears BDSM fic and was more amused than squicked. Death!fic can be okay, fluffy slice of life fic can be okay. AU crossover fic, well, then we need to talk. I just ask for good fic, for the characters to be loved and treated well, and for you to have fun with this. Thank you for my wonderful gift, Yuletide Wonderperson. The fact that you signed up for one of my fandoms makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and I love sharing this fandom with you.

Thank you again, Yuletide Wonderperson. You've made my year by sharing my love of fandom, and I'll be forever grateful to you.

YULETIDEYULETIDEYULETIDEYULETIDE!

I feel like a small child, squeeing with glee. Who'm I trying to kid? I'm a giant dancing dork when it comes to Yuletide. This is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season, and it's all because of you, Yuletide Wonderperson! You wrote a story just for me, and I'll be grateful for that for the rest of the year. :)

So! My requests, let me show you them!

Samurai Champloo - I am an otaku, and I've been an otaku for far too long. I adored Samurai Champloo for its meanderings, its anachronistic vignettes of Edo Japan, and Fuu, Jin and Mugen being absolutely dysfunctional and tied together as an odd kind of family/trio/thing. Like Fuu, I don't want their journey to end. So! I don't care how you put these three characters together: slash/menage/het, I'd just like to see them together in some fashion at the end of the show, still journeying. Hell, settle them down, just make sure they're still together somehow, and still being themselves.

Young Riders - This is my first fandom. I've requested it for a few years now, and I'll just repeat last year's letter for the sake of getting new, quality fic for the fandom: I love them all equally. Well, okay, no, I don't. I love Jimmy and Lou and Teaspoon and Emma and Ike *sniffle* and Buck and Noah and Kid and Jesse and-- Okay, fine. TYR was my first fandom. Literally. Like, when I was 11. We go way back. And I didn't pick characters because, honestly, I do love them all. And I'll take fic about any of them. I had a couple suggestions (After the Express, after the war. Or, daily life at the home station.), but you don't have to stand by them. Also, slash, het, romance, whatever -- it's all good for me. Even death!fic. Since TYR kind of popped my character death cherry. *sniffles again for Ike* If you want to have a Kid/Jimmy/Lou threesome, more power to you! (Ooh, the ideas.) Just give my beloved 'boys' the passion and strength and good!fic that they deserve, and that's all I ask. As long as it's not AU High School the Musical gone Pony Express. Then I'll have to kill you with my brain.

Young Wizards - This is another fandom I've grown up with and written for and adored. Luckily, it's also a fandom that's populated by many talented writers (hello, Yuletide Wonderperson!). So, this year, I'd love to see something resolving the Roshaun issue, or Nita and Dairine bonding post the whole Nita/Kit thing or anything dealing with the aftermath of Wizards of Mars. Future-fic it! Sibling bonding! I'd prefer no deathfic, even though we know that what's loved, lives in Timeheart, so if this could be a more light-hearted/heart-warming story, I would love you forever.

Thank you again, Yuletide Wonderperson. You've made my year by sharing my love of fandom, and I'll be forever grateful to you.
