Dear Yuletide Writer
Dear Yuletide Writer,
Hi there! Thank you for offering to write in one of my beloved fandoms!
Here are some things I like: Families, established relationships, magical adventures, smart people being smart and competent people being competent. Here are some things I'd rather not get: Stereotypical gender roles in relationships, porn without plot (but see Russian Stories), dark fic (but see Russian stories), crossovers, mundane AUs.
Fandom: Schooled -- Gordon Korman
Characters: Hugh Winkleman, Zach Powers, Darryl Pennyfield, Capricorn Anderson
This is my unabashed slash request. Hugh and Zach are such devious little weasels; they totally deserve each other. I will happily read anything about them. My ideal Zach/Hugh story would be one where they're secret boyfriends until a Korman-style katamari of wackiness forces them to a) come out and b) admit they actually like each other, and are not just together because it's easier than anything else.
Or, I would be thrilled to get a story about Darryl. Either Darryl/Cap, or Darryl's unrequited crush on/doomed attempts to seduce Cap (because I suspect Cap is actually straight) or just Darryl being fabulously gay because he is.
If you are going to go beyond hand-holding and chaste kisses--and please feel free, although I don't insist on it--I would really prefer if you aged the guys up a few years at least.
Fandom: Russian Stories -- CJ Cherryh
Characters: Eveshka Uulamets, Pyetr Ilitch Kochevikov, Sasha Vasilyevitch Misurov
I just want Eveshka/Pyetr/Sasha. That is all. Porn, domestic fluff, magical adventures; warm-and-fuzzy, angsty, fucked-up, all the hurt/comfort in the world; I don't care, I just want to read about these three as a threesome.
Fandom: Chronicles of Chretomanci -- Diana Wynne Jones
Characters: Any. No, seriously, any, I love them all.
I'd love some ensemble fic, and there are so many great ensembles available--Gabriel's staff, Christopher and the young enchanters, the Castle Family (if you're going to write about the Castle Family post-Pinhoe Egg, don't forget about Klartch, okay?) If you write me a story about the cats of Casa Montana, I will probably cackle with glee.
Or, I like shippy fic too. My favorite ships are Christopher/Conrad, Millie/Christopher/Conrad, Mordecai/Rosalie, and Julia/Janet, but I will take anything. As long as it's not intergenerational, and doesn't involve Gwendolen. I mean, I will happily read fic in which Gwendolen is a character, or even the main character, but I don't want to see her paired with anyone. It's just . . . no.
Other than that, I'll take whatever you've got. My love of all things Chrestomanci is indiscriminate.
Fandom: Girl Genius -- Phil and Kaja Foglio
Characters: Gilgamesh Wulfenbach, Sleipnir O'Hara, Theo DuMedd, Zeetha Daughter of Chump
So . . . ensembles. I'd really like some adventures of the kids on Castle Wulfenbach pre-canon. Or I'd like to know what Sleipnir and Theo were up to after they left Castle Wulfenbach but before they rejoined the main cast. Or I'd like anything Gil-centric or Zeetha-centric, because they are awesome. (And I will read Agatha paired with either of them. But . . . probably not both at the same time?)
I'd rather not read anything post-canon, what with the future of canon being so uncertain and all. (Not that stories set in the past aren't going to get just as jossed, but.) And I don't really like Tarvek. I don't want to see him bashed or anything, I'd just rather not read about him at all.
And I think that's it! Thank you once again, dear yuletide writer; you are in all probability the best, and I hope you get what you want for yuletide too!

But, yes, Sleipnir O'Hara. Girl Genius. The tagline goes, "adventure, romance, mad science," and that's pretty accurate. If you like stories about unassuming university students with big destinies who can build a mean death ray, if you don't hate steampunk, if you're prepared to have your brain eaten, I strongly recommend you give it a try.
