Dear Yuletide Author
Dear Yuletide author
Thanks so much for offering to write a story for me! I made three requests: Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, and Bujold’s Chalion series.
Indy: I love Indy and/or Marion adventuring, whether separate or together. I think Sallah, Henry, Sr., and Marcus have terrific, untold backstories and we know Indy was in the OSS. I also love all the possibilities of a young Indiana Jones adventurer. I love historical events and historical figures. I’m not a huge fan of Mutt, but maybe you can make me like him. No aliens, please. Indy goes great with espionage, wild cross overs, magic, portals, World War 2, curses, archeology, natural history museums, and the Cold War.
Jurassic Park: Dinosaurs. Any dinosaurs, chomping, stomping, thinking, running, smashing, and eating lawyers, investment bankers, and those who think dinosaurs went extinct because they weren't on the Ark. [For a person of a certain sarcastic view, that last one has real possibilities]. I’m especially fond of Ellie, Alan, and Ian, but any characters from the books or films are good, so long as you can get some dinosaurs in there, somewhere.
Chalion: I have practically memorized Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls. I’m not a huge fan of Hallowed Hunt, but maybe you can make me like it. The women of Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls are my special favorites but I love every single character in Paladin of Souls. Caz, Umegat, and the gods weren’t offered as characters in Yuletide, but I love them too. I love the theology, Caz’s cunning and multi-faceted personality, how Ista finds so much after she has lost everything, and Iselle and Betriz’s friendship and adventuresome spirits. Both stories are told so solidly from single points of view, there are lots and lots of ways to give us a fresh perspective. I will love the little character insights, the backstories, the untold stories, worldbuilding and meta.
General requests across all stories: I prefer happy or contemplative endings to angst. I love mixed media, OCs, humor, witty banter, and historical and/or scientific detail fetish. I don’t like dub con and non-canonical character death. I dearly love cross-overs where portals to other places/dimensions are part of the storyline, like Bujold’s Vorkosigan series, Narnia, Docor Who, Alice in Wonderland, and Warehouse 13, but I’m hard-pressed to see where one might occur here (except maybe Indy - but surprise me!). I'm more interested in character than I am in continuity. That last means I'll go along with just about anything, including gender bending, AU, the road not taken, and the same story told in new ways and new places.
Thank you so much!
