tommygirl | For my yuletide author...hope this helps...

Dear wonderful yuletide author:

Hi! How are you? I hope all is well and you aren't freaking out about yuletide because of my requests. Because I'm pretty easy to please and already so appreciative that you signed up to write in any of the fandoms I've requested. there is a serious lack of fic in some of them and just knowing there will be another story out there makes me happy.

I'm so grateful that you're doing this, and below are some ideas to help you. Please realize that my details on the sign-up were just ideas to help you get your muses flowing. If you go off in a completely different direction? I will still love and adore the story.

I'm pretty much a character and relationship-oriented girl, not necessarily romantic relationships either, just how friends/family/etc interact with another. I love emotional journeys and coming out the better for it. My favorite thing is banter. I love the back-and-forth between two characters. It's not to say I don't love a good plot to my story, but I'm just as happy with a story that moves characters a & b to the next level.

I'm a huge fan of happy endings, or at least not dark & depressing ends. There can be angst and hurt/comfort and whatever else, so long as I know my characters are still standing and okay at the end.

The requests themselves:

1. Rob Thurman - Nightlife: I have a huge love of siblings who are close and put each other first. A lot of my favorite fandoms have close siblings, so why should this be any different? Since the books are all from Cal's point of view, I would love something from Niko's perspective, especially after Darkling takes over Cal. But really anything that's about the brothers and how much they love one another would be fine with me. I'd prefer gen, but if you want there to be more to Cal/Niko, I wouldn't be against it (Supernatural broke me of that taboo awhile ago). Also, I've read the first three books, so no worries about spoilers through what's been published.

2. Privileged - So here's the thing. I have a huge best friend love. I love best friends who grow into a romantic relationship even more. And there is such potential between Megan and Charlie. So that was my request. I especially love the idea of Rose seeing it before Megan and getting Sage to help her move things along. That said, if you just don't feel the Megan/Charlie, a lovely gen piece about their friendship would be great. My only request is no Megan/Will - I don't really care for Will much.

3. Samantha Who - I love Samantha and Todd together. I love how they can't seem to get it quite right and keep pushing-and-pulling. I'd love them as a pairing that end up together, but if you want to do something that explores them in a different light, that's fine too. And I love every character on the show, so feel to feature as many or as few in the story as you want.

4. Veritas the Quest - Again, I'm a sucker for familial relationships and I would love to see something that has Nikko dealing with his newfound abilities and working on his relationship with his dad. I'd also love to see Nikko and Calvin interacting because, whether it's in a brotherly-way or in a meant-to-end-up-together way (I'd read either), they have a fun dynamic. Basically, if it focused on Nikko and left Juliet out of the story, you can't go wrong.

Again, I hope the above helped. And I really would love to see any of these requests - I didn't make them in any specific order - and appreciate your willingness to attempt it. When all else fails, follow your heart and your ideas because I will love whatever you write for me.

If it helps, feel free to look through my journal here at the type of stuff I write. Or, I share a reccing journal (

polyfandomrecs) with a friend, so that should give you ideas of the stuff I love to read. I linked to my website, but it's not completely up-to-date at the moment.

Thanks again and happy writing!
