clare_dragonflyDear Yuletide writer,
First of all you're awesome! Seriously, thank you so much for offering one of my fandoms. I am so excited to see what you will write for me.
Secondly, don't feel constrained by anything I've written below; optional details are optional. I've picked these fandoms because I would be thrilled to see anything written in them. You can even go ahead and ignore my selected characters if you want. It'll be awesome either way.
So first, some general preferences.
My tastes tend to run towards the dark, long, and plotty; however, I can also be happy with fluffy and short. I have no preference on the subject of smutty or not-smutty. I prefer femslash or het (mostly because I'm primarily interested in female characters), but if my comments give you a guy-slash idea, go for it.
Narrative kinks: folklore (fairy tale retellings are fab), strong female characters, competence, genre savvy characters. Erotic kinks: BDSM, everything related to that, consent issues (noncon, dubcon, etc.), and I'm probably not going to be unhappy about anything else not listed in the next sentence. Stuff I don't want: things relating to bodily fluids other than blood, sweat, and tears; mpreg; navel-gazing with no plot whatsoever.
I like crossovers, so feel free to cross over any of my requested fandoms if that interests you. Bigger fandoms I would enjoy crossovers with: Harry Potter, Criminal Minds, Fringe, Warehouse 13, Welcome to Night Vale. I also enjoy canon AUs (as opposed to the kind where you take the characters from the canon and put them in some different universe entirely--though I'm not necessarily opposed to those).
And now, my specific requests!
Penny Dreadful
I basically ship all of the characters, so if you're just itching to write kinky, crazy, orgiastic sex, this is your chance! Go for it!
If that's not your thing, however, I do have some other ideas ;) Death-fix fic for Brona would be awesome. It pisses me off that two other characters specifically requested death, and yet she's the one who dies. In the absence of death-fix, I would prefer anything in which she doesn't become the Bride, please.
If neither of those ideas inspire you… as long as it involves Eva Green in a corset, I'll be pleased.
Alphas
I love Gary! Anything about Gary would be great—backstory, slice-of-life, whatever. I would really be interested to see a fic set immediately after the second season, in which he is the only one left alive (or at least conscious). Feel free to include the other characters; I ship him with Kat and Rachel (and of course friendship is great too).
Lynburn Legacy
I love all the characters but I think the most interesting one—now that the trilogy is complete—is Lillian Lynburn. She's had to grow so much over the story, despite already being an adult. I would love to see how she continues on with her life, having the knowledge and perhaps compassion that she has now.
Also, I sort of feel like a horrible person for this, but I totally ship her with Jon. If that is your preference, I would not say no.
And by the way, if you've come from elsewhere and are wondering where to treat me (which would naturally be wonderful!), my AO3 name is![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
