starlady | Dear Yulegoat, (Reply)

~~Okay, so we're doing this.~~

First, thank you so much for participating in Yuletide this year! Second, thank you for agreeing to write a story in a fandom we both love, or at least remember fondly. I'm genuinely interested to see what caught other fans' interests about all of these sources, so please don't feel that my prompts are too binding. I'd rather have an inspired story than slavish devotion to my requests. If you're looking for more of a sense of me and my tastes, skimming through the last twenty entries on my DW will probably give you a good idea; most of the entries in general are unlocked.

I hesitate to say what I do or don't like in fic--I don't have any major squicks, and no firm principles as to what I will or won't read. That said, it's my general sentiment that Yuletide is not the place to go looking for PWP, at least for me; which isn't to say that I wouldn't want sexytimes, as it were, in any story you write, but which is to say that I generally like my sexytimes to go along with plot and characterization. And as you may have guessed from these requests, I do really like women being awesome. In some ways, really, my own fics demonstrate both these preferences very well.

Lord Peter Wimsey - Sayers
I devoured these books in two months flat earlier this year and I love them all. I haven't specified characters because I would love to read a story about any of them, but especially about any of Miss Climpson's cases after Strong Poison, or her views on Harriet and Peter's wedding, or whatever. I'm also always up for more of Harriet and Peter post-BH. And one of the things I adore about the later books is the way that the politics of 1930s Europe impinge steadily on the events of Peter's life; I'd love something exploring that, or any of his exploits on the Continent for the Foreign Office before, during, or after GN. For more about my reactions to these books and what I liked about them, you can read the posts under my Sayers tag.

Nimona - Stevenson
Believe it or not, I only read this comic this year. I would love to read anything about what happened after, particularly Blackheart/Goldenloin, but even just something about where Nimona is now, or anything, would be great.

Solar System (Anthropomorfic)
I would really love to get Planet 9's perspective on the Solar System, or anything related to it, but any and all characters in this fandom would be amazing, because I love space and space vehicles. I am one of those heretics who isn't bothered by Pluto not being a planet anymore. I also blathered about space vehicles in my last Yuletide letter, from 2013.
I hope you can find enough information in here or in the fandoms to inspire you, Yuletide writer. Thank you so much!
