Dear Yuletide Author,

[amoama]

 Dear anonymous person very near to my heart, 

The LA Complex – Raquel, Sabrina, Connor, Kaldrick

Raquel and Connor! I would love a story about these two. I would love the story to be as fucked up as the characters. Are they really incapable of a happy ending? It feels like it – prove me wrong, oh god please prove me wrong! Or don’t! Break my heart with missed opportunities or late realisations, crack open their personalities and lay them bare for me, I don’t even need plot if you delve to the heart of them for me. Sex, not sex, almost sex, any of their other partners are all fine. Also feel free to just write about one rather than both. Although I have to say, Connor’s final storyline with the Church of not-quite-scientology freaked me out no end so be aware if you write more about that you will have be quivering on edge the whole time!!

Kaldrick the King: His story was always a difficult one, having been the abuser in his relationship with Tariq, but his arch was great and they ended it so well I don’t know exactly what more I want, except, who wouldn’t want more? I would love him and Christopher, perhaps with Christopher backstory if you felt like it? In fact, I would love any outside POV on Kaldrick, from his friends, lovers (male or female) or his father.

Sabrina: I love Sabrina. I mostly hate Nick. Fic that focuses on her, her career, her being awesome in bed, would all be awesome. OC relationships or pairings in the show would also be fine. I don’t mind Nick being in the fic but if you want me to like the selfish, talentless prat it might be a step too far!

 

Dance Academy – Abigail, Kat, Ben, Grace

The thing I like best about Dance Academy is, you got it, the dancing. The dancing encapsulates the characters so well, its like a short hand for the show.

Abigail Armstrong is my favourite. Any story about Abigail doing anything would make me happier than life. A story about Abigail and Kat’s friendship, or blossoming/tempestuous/understated/always there relationship would be icing on the cake. I love these two. I love that they’ve known each other forever and rarely acknowledge what they mean to each other. I love their individual bravados and self-doubts.

Kat Karamakov herself is sunshine in a box, any story that centred on her, on the massive parental and sibling shadows that she lives under, on her bulimia, on her accidental movie career would all be perfect.

Benjamin Tickle! MY BOY. The Benster. I love LOVE LOVE how he dances, he and Abigail are the most likely to give me shivers in any given episode, he rocks pent up emotion like no other. His dance over Sammy’s death was steeled but sensational. I would actually love to see some fic of him and Grace, I loved their dynamic at the end of s3 and would love to see future fic of them ruling the world. Well, mostly Grace ruling the world I guess, but Ben making her less-monstrous-dictator-like. Because, Grace Whitney, oh little girl, you are the worst, you have everything so wrong. Any fic about Grace that understands how loneliness has twisted her painful, grasping little heart would be brilliant. I also love Abigail/Grace, so feel free to get up on that.

Mostly, the less Tara the better, although I kind of love her ridiculousness, so well, ridiculous!Tara would also be fine.

Christian I enjoy on and off. Mostly I like him in the sense that I want all the inappropriate teacher/student, Zac/Christian fic ever. PLEASE WRITE THIS FOR ME! This is Zac’s fault. Seriously what has he been on all season, doesn’t he have a wife somewhere, why is he all over Christian! Cracky or serious I don’t even mind.

 

Wentworth - Bea Smith, Doreen Anderson, Erica Davidson, Franky Doyle

Wentworth, dear oh dear. I just mainlined this in time to request it even though I didn’t nominate it. If I had, I would definitely have included, Sue “Boomer” Jenkins in my noms because that chick wins at life.

I would love Erica/Franky fic which gets that this is the most destructive relationship either of them could ever engage in. GIRLS ARE SO BAD FOR EACH OTHER. Especially fic in which the power dynamic is monumentally screwed and the games between them will ultimately meant that they both lose.

I would love Bea/Doreen crack fic about Bea’s terrible hairdressing skillz. I would love sad Bea/Doreen grieving motherhood h/c fic. I would actually love h/c for any of these girls, especially if it included Erica in an interesting way. I am happy to go with whatever combination of Wentworth women you, dear author, so desire. PWP GIRL ORGY TIME would also work fine for me, almost a relief given how much these girls go through. I’m happy if you want to make them suffer though. *g* I actually love all the characters in this show so feel free to include as many as you like. <3

 

Southland- Lydia, Sammy, John, Laurie

Yeah, Lydia Adams, light of my life. I would gratefully receive any and all fic about this woman. I love her competence and her vulnerability, I love her crusading nature, I love her pissed off and I love her victorious. I love her with children. I kind of dug the back and forth she had with Josie in season 3 and I would love fic about them, especially with a little added UST thrown in, although I also loved the twist about Josie’s son.

I love Sammy Bryant when he goes to those dark places. He breaks my heart all the time with how he wants, always, to do more and is constrained by the limits of the job whether its adopting kids or going after revenge. (Usually this is for the good, lol). I’d enjoy Sammy/Nate slash if it was put in front of me on a plate. I would actually like Sammy/anyone(Ben/Cooper/Lydia…) slash, or Sammy with kids. Sammy and Lydia force me to break my kid!fic squick IDKY.

Ben/John. Really how much can I say about these two? The more fic about them the better. I love one-sided (either way) as well as reciprocal feelings.

I would also like fic and John Cooper and his wife Laurie Cooper. I love their relationship as it is in canon present and how it must have been in the past, please show me this or tell me more about Laurie and her life in general. :D

 

The Man Who Never Was (1956) – Ewan Montagu, George Acres, Pam, Lucy Sherwood

If you’re writing me this, first off, YAY SOMEONE ELSE LIKES/IS WILLING TO WRITE THIS MOVIE. I am not honestly sure why I like it so much but I do.

I love the relationship between Ewan Montague and George Acres, I love their back and forth and their reliance on each other. I love the way Pam deals with them, I love the way they react to Lucy. I find it interesting how they’re willing to use Pam and Lucy and actually put them at a lot of risk. I would really enjoy any pairing/threesome/moresome combinations here that you felt willing to write. I would love some Pam/Lucy or some form of BDSM fic where the girls were dominant but the guys didn’t realise it. I would love individual pieces. I would love more of Lucy in general, or of Pam after the war a la Bletchley Circle perhaps. I would love crisp dialogue and pent up emotions. I would even love follow up fic about the spy. Wherever you care to go with it, don’t be limited by my rambles here!

 Thank you so much!!!
