Dear Yuletide writer
Thank you for writing for me. I'm really looking forward to the story you'll write. Any story about any one of these characters would be brilliant. I've included some prompts below and in my sign up because I find them really helpful myself, but feel free to completely ignore them and go with whatever inspires you, even if it’s very different.
I’m not terribly active on dreamwidth any more, but you can find me on tumblr as silveronthetree, AO3 as silveronthetree and twitter as scatteredsilver.
I love reading all sorts of stories, happy, sad, funny or serious. I like character-based stories and also crossovers, time travel and alternate universes, especially canon divergence AUs. I enjoy gen, het, femslash and slash. I adore outsider points of view (even from original characters) and epistolary fic. I love stories about 'how they got together' and friends turning into lovers, but they don't have to end with happily ever after with all their problems resolved (but I don't mind if they do). I like reading about fight sex and awkward first, second or even twenty-seventh time sex. I love female characters so I would be a little sad if they were completely sidelined. I love stories with a strong sense of place. I like canon pairings and obscure canon details. I like stories about all kinds of families. I also like to read seasonal stories if it fits in with the source.
I don't have many "do not wants"- just non-canonical major character death, post-apocalyptic scenarios and non-canonical limb injuries.
Requests
Titans (TV 2018)
Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, Jericho (Joseph) Wilson, Koriand'r
I’ve been enjoying many things about Titans, especially when it gets the relationships between characters right. I’d like to read fic about any of these characters and I’m happy if you just decide to write about one or two of them. You could write about their pasts, their history together, speculate about the future or fill in missing moments from the show. Kory and Donna’s crime fighting team-up was a highlight and more about that would be great. Jericho and Dick’s history was heart breaking, but I’d like to know more about how they got to know each other, or what would happen if Jericho came back to life. Dick and Donna’s friendship has been a part of their lives for a long time - what was it like when they were younger or how might it play out in the future? Or anything involving Dick and Kory would be fantastic. I’d be good with anything shippy for these combinations too.
England Series - K. J. Charles
Archie Curtis, Daniel da Silva
Think of England is my favourite K.J. Charles book and I'd love to read anything about Archie and Daniel, particularly set during or after the events of the book. Maybe a story about their adjustment to working together and being in a relationship, which must've had its tough moments. How does their relationship develop? What was their first official job together like? Daniel's point of view on any of the events in the book would be fascinating. It was great seeing a glimpse of this in the ‘Song for a Viking’ short story and more along these lines would be very welcome.
Green Knowe Series - Lucy M. Boston
Mrs. Oldknow, Toseland "Tolly" Oldknow
I love the atmosphere of these books and the way that the history is tied so vividly to the house and the people who live in it. These books delighted me and scared me as a child. Any story involving Tolly or his grandmother, Mrs Oldknow would be wonderful, by themselves, together, or with other characters from the series. Here are a few ideas you might like to try - What happens to Tolly after the books? Are there any other children that he meets from the past or from the future? What was Mrs Oldknow's childhood like and when did she find out about the Others? What happened during the holidays that didn't appear in the stories? Is there a missing moment from the books that you'd like to explore?
I received a lovely drabble for a similar prompt a few years ago but I'd love to see more fic about these characters.
Grayson (Comics)
Dick Grayson, Tiger, Helena Bertinelli
As you might guess Dick Grayson is one of my favourite characters and Grayson is probably my favourite Dick-centric comic. Tiger was a fantastic new character, and acted as the perfect foil for Dick’s playfulness and I enjoyed the new take on Helena. The spy shenanigans and undercover scenarios made an incredibly fun comic. I’d love anything about these characters, whether it is gen fic or maybe Dick/Helena or Dick/Tiger. Were there any missions that we didn’t see in the comics? What happened after Dick left Spyral and returned to Gotham? I’m relatively up to date with comics so their reactions to the whole “Ric” Grayson thing would be entertaining. Or even a more serious take on the characters and the scenarios they ended up in than in this comic.
Thank you for writing, I hope you have fun and I’m super excited to see what you come up with.
