canadiandiamond | Dear Yuletide Author... (Reply)

Hi dear author,

First off, thank you for writing me something, and I'm sure I'll love whatever it is you decide to write! I can't wait to see what you come up with, and hopefully you've had fun writing it as well.

I'm not all that picky when it comes to requests, as you'll no doubt see when you read my notes below. Happy endings, sad endings, major character death, angst, AUs, smut, gen, meet/cute, day in the life, all are ok with me. The only things I really don't want to see are incest, underage, rape/non-con, and dubcon, please.

With that being said, here's some more specific comments on the fandoms I've requested:

Atomic Blonde (2017) - Lorraine Broughton, Delphine Lasalle

I loved this movie, and went into it without having heard any reviews or opinions on it. I walked out totally pleased with my experience. Even the soundtrack was awesome. I would love something that better explores these characters' relationship, whether it be set during the movie or post-movie should you choose to alter what happens (and I'd be more than ok with that!). So AU/non-canon fic is more than welcome here for sure. I'd love to see Lorraine and Delphine kicking ass and taking names across the continent, maybe updated to modern day times in an AU/non-canon version. Anything would be awesome though, definitely.

Father Ted - Ted Crilly, Dougal McGuire, Jack Hackett, Mrs. Doyle

A show that sadly ended much too soon. I really enjoyed watching it but I'd never read or wrote any fic until I saw that someone else nominated it a few years ago. I wrote a treat for it and have wanted to read/write more of it ever since.

Any fic featuring more wacky antics from the parochial house would be welcome. You can even focus on just Ted and Dougal if you'd prefer, as they're my favourite part of the series. Maybe Dougal has discovered Pokemon Go and is driving Ted (and likely the rest of Craggy Island) crazy with it, and their church is a Pokestop? Or perhaps they're trying to work on another Eurovision song entry together. Anything you'd want to write would be awesome!

The Good Place (TV) - Eleanor Shellstrop, Tahani Al-Jamil

Full confession: I'm a huge Kristen Bell fan, dating back to her Veronica Mars days. So it was really a given that I'd like this show, only I didn't expect to like it as much as I have, largely due to the rest of the cast. They're all amazing, and I want to know more about them all.

I went into last year's Yuletide requesting this but in a totally different light. I was assigned this show too, and ended up writing some Eleanor/Tahani fic by request. Since then I'm sold and am 100% behind this ship. Anything and everything you want to write about them would be amazing. An AU (if you're up-to-date on the show you'll know which one I mean!) would work well here, given the setting and the show itself. Use your imagination and just do whatever you want; maybe they run a coffee shop together (with a pun-tastic name of course) in one version, or become Good Place police officers of some kind - seriously, can't you see Eleanor as a bad cop? Just go crazy and have fun with it!

Also feel free to include other characters if you wish, they're all great, just as long as Eleanor and Tahani are the main focus.

Mr. Right (2015 Cabezas) - Francis (Mr. Right), Martha McKay

So I think I heard of this before it came out, but I never saw it right away. In fact I forgot all about it until I saw someone mention it on DW not too long ago. Then I pulled it up on Netflix and watched it, and wow. Yeah, it's a fun little movie.

I'd love to see some post-movie fic of what Francis and Martha get up to after what happened in the movie. There are so many things you can do with them; maybe they go straight and become police officers (hey, the movie's pretty wacky as-is, so it could happen!), or they continue to be unique hitmen together. You can also write an AU featuring them; they're just so crazy together so anything you can think of would work I'm pretty sure. Just have fun with it!

Thank you again for whatever you do write for me, I'm sure it'll be awesome and I can't wait to read it! :D
