Dear Yuletide Santa Letter
Nov. 17th, 2011 10:45 amThis is for whoever is assigned to write for me for Yuletide. Thank you for signing up!
Here are my requests:
-Dark Shadows (1966)
"A support group for vampires, witches, former ghosts, and assorted creatures that go bump in the night. Anyone who doesn't know the past of, say, Quentin, Angelique, or Barnabas may be in for a shock."
Make it as funny or disturbing as you wish. Would there be arguments between those who remember things a different way than the others there? If Julia or Roger can be worked into the story, that would be great. I’d love to see their reactions to an all out fight about each person’s past. Maybe even Roger’s realization that he married a witch years ago, since I don’t believe he ever realized Angelique was Cassandra.
-My Best Friend Is A Vampire
“Upon spotting the blood in Jeremy’s fridge, his parents briefly think he might be a serial killer. Or some sort of artist, because that simply must be red paint. Bit of a Sunnydale resident mentality when you think of it.”
Something humorous would be great, and if you can somehow work in the vampires Modoc and Professor Leopold McCarthy to have a discussion with them compounded with misunderstandings, that would be great. I loved those two.
-Ghostbusters
"Gozer was only temporarily defeated. What if another portal was situated elsewhere—what if it was an overlooked spot in the Firehouse, or the next place Dana finds a job, long before she makes her way to the museum? More terror dogs come to take possession of human hosts (Peter or Ray? Dana again?). Without four people to wield proton packs as they did with Gozer the last time, how bleak do things become? As things come to a head, and they are embroiled in supernatural drama from jobs piling up, are they able to keep Gozer from winning this time?"
I seem to have a thing for apocalyptic Ghostbusters scenarios where one of them gets possessed. Could be set six months to a year following the first movie. Have fun with it, work in humor even in when things are at their darkest, and I’ll probably be fine with it. This is one of my favorite fandoms. I don’t have to have a pairing involved in the story, but if you need to work with pairings, I’m fine with Peter/Dana, or Egon/Janine.
-Super Dictionary
“Robin must team up with either a confused Green Lantern, or someone else from within the pages of the Super Dictionary. Together, they will foil a plan to steal not 40 cakes, by Lex Luthor…but 100 fruit cakes. And that’s terrible.”
If you come up with a better or stranger thing for Lex Luthor to steal, by all means go wild with this. It’s not set in stone. I just want it as crack-addled as the Superdictionary, so have fun. Robin frequently tripping over rope as people try to tie him up, Lex dragging wagons of pastries away in plain sight, whatever you want. If you wanted to do a crossover where the Hostess fruit pies (which were in Marvel Comics ads) get stolen, that would be fine, as well.
My likes and dislikes, copied from a Yuletide letter I wrote a few years back: I’m fine with fanfic that’s a bit of a darker tone, so long as it doesn’t go into PWP, BDSM, rape, or incest territories. I love fanfic with snark and humor.
I am equally fine with gen, het, or slash, as long as it isn’t what I mentioned above. If you want to do anything pairing free, that is fine with me. For me, the characterization is the most important aspect of the story, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s humor or angst or somewhere in between--so just do your best. Use your own judgment for what works from the prompts I’ve provided, and I’m sure I’ll love it.
Again I say thank you for writing something for me, whoever you are.
