Dear Yulegoat --

I usually tell you that I've written lots of fanfic during the year, but this year, my mother died, we moved house, and I haven't had time. I have written a few things, though.

The fandoms I've chosen have all given me joy. None of them is light or fluffy. I apparently don't need good special effects to enjoy something either. All of these fandoms are ones that make me think and feel in about equal measure, and I like that sensation.

General nos: Extreme or explicit violence. Rape or Dubcon. A/B/O. AUs unless requested. There are certain acts which just don't turn me on: scat, blood play, golden showers. Any BDSM must be safe, sane, and consensual.

General yeses: Exploration of emotions and the consequences of actions, even if those consequences are negative. I'm fine with explicit slash, het, or threesomes (or moresomes). I like a happy ending -- it's Yuletide; let's celebrate -- but I completely understand if it doesn't make sense within the story. A well-written fic with a sad resolution is better than something jammed in to make it happy.

Yuletide Requests:
The Champions (TV 1968)
Rotherweird (series) -- Andrew Caldecott
L'Addition - Yves Montand (Song)
Harlequin (1980) aka Dark Forces

Dear Yulegoat --

I haven't done much writing this year because this has been a year of family illness and being lonesome. But I have managed a couple of things and I hope you will look favorably on my request.

Dear Yulegoat --

It's been a tough year. Even before COVID, my father died. I've been able to stay with my family for a large part of the year thanks to the wonders of telework, but it's been hard to go through all of this (Dad was big political junkie. Debates, conventions, etc.) is hard without him.

I know this year has been rough for everyone, but fic gets us through!

So, dear author, I'm fine with any rating unless otherwise specified. I don't imagine that most of these would lend themselves to Explicit for various reasons, but I know how imaginative authors can get.

The tagset is finalized! (15 October 2020)
Updated on 10/22/2020

The Nominations brainstorming sheet is up. I have several that I want to nominate. The A1 choice though is the Mrs. Crocombe videos from the English Heritage Channel on YouTube. There's an awful lot going on at Audley End House.

Just got my 6th pinch-hit/7th story in.

On Friday, I went to see a double feature of The Killers (no, we didn't see it twice. There was the 1946 version with Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner and the 1964 version with John Cassavetes and Angie Dickinson) along with Neotoma. It was part of the AFI's yearly Film Noir festival, and while there, it occurred to me that I can only think of two Noir movies set in DC: Advise and Consent and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Some argument can be made for Fail Safe, which scared me more than any horror film did when I was a kid, and Seven Days in May -- hello, Burt Lancaster, again -- but to me, there's a sense of movement in Noir and both of those are fairly static, especially Fail Safe.

My friend Elle took me to see La Traviata on Sunday. It was a really good production.

My campaign for ANC isn't going as well as I'd like, but it's mostly my own fault.

I have my Yuletide assignment, and I'm a bit puzzled. I'm so used to matching on one of my first three offers, it was a bit of shock to match on my tenth.

I was matched on the R.E.D. movies and wrote Girls' Day for prinzenhasserin. It's Victoria Winslow bonding with Sarah Ross and is tagged with the Misses Clause Challenge.

My first pinch-hit was Meet and Talk for ourseparatedcities in the Sense8 fandom. If you haven't seen this series, please go use your Netflix subscription to watch it. There's more than a little sex and violence, but this series comes down on the side of empathy and understanding. It's visually gorgeous and generally well-acted. Tagged Chromatic Yuletide.

Innie was kind enough to give me a story, so it was a pleasure to find out that my next pinch-hit, Trastevere in the Zen (TV) fandom was a return gift. It's case fic with character studies.

New Orleans - October-November 1908 was for Karios. Timeless is a conspiracy theory/time travel show. It can be quite good, but the history is a bit loose. I tried to treat a possible moment in history with respect. Also tagged Chromatic Yuletide.

The Good Place is a big fandom this Yule. (No Yuletide fandom is really big, but it was very popular.) The show itself name checks all the biggest philosophers and is generally very thoughtful. Attempts 215-219 was my gift to jamjar in this fandom.

Christmas Eve deals with proper Venetian cookery by Guido Brunetti and his wife Paola. I've loved the Brunetti books for a long time, but stayed with a character piece rather than try to write a case for him. Apparently, it was written for "Account Deleted." I hope other people enjoy it.

For Vashti, I wrote New Old Love for the movie The Lake House. I nearly requested the film, too, but went with The Illusionist instead.

My last pinch-hit (and I didn't have any 23 or 24 December ones this year) was for Bahamut225 in the Cinderella (2005) movie fandom. It's called Thoughts of a Lizard.

I also wrote a treat for Yeomanrand. It's for Now You See Me and is called The Act.

The first set of Pinch Hits ended up in my Junk mail box. I missed out on a couple I would have loved to write.

I just have to take a deep breath and assume something really awesome will come up later.

Dear Yule Goat -- I've been a good girl and posted lots of stories.

In general, I'm thrilled that you're writing for me and I'm thrilled to be taking part in another Yuletide.

I've put any fandom specific limitations in the prompts, but there are some things I just really love or hate.

General nos: Extreme violence. Rape or Dubcon. A/B/O. AUs unless requested. There are certain acts which just don't turn me on: scat, blood play, golden showers.

All BDSM must be safe, sane, and consensual.

General yeses: Exploration of emotions and the consequences of actions, even if those consequences are negative. I'm fine with explicit slash, het, or threesomes (or moresomes). I like a happy ending, but completely understand if it doesn't make sense with the story. A well-written fic with a sad ending is better than something jammed in to make it happy.

The fandoms are:
Easy Virtue (2008)
Hellspark! by Janet Kagan
Undercover Blues
VR.5
The Illusionist
( The prompts are behind this cut. )

Thank you so much for writing a story for me. I can't wait to read it.
