cinaedDear Yuletide Writer,
First off, relax, and thank you for participating! I hope my requests make you smile rather than tear your hair out. *laughs*
As for my likes and dislikes.... I like gen, het, slash, femslash, threesomes, so, uh, pretty much anything goes. My favorite things are banter and sarcasm, and I enjoy watching relationships develop in a story. I'm not really into explicit sex scenes, but feel free to write one if you really, really want to. My only no-nos are non-con, infidelity/adultery, character bashing, and death fics although if you're writing Dionysus/Ariadne, you can write about death-- the story has a happy ending, after all.
Anyway, here's a bit more about each request!
Request 1 -- Greek and Roman Mythology
Dionysus (Greek and Roman Mythology)
Ariadne (Greek and Roman Mythology)
Persephone (Greek and Roman Mythology)
Hades (Greek and Roman Mythology)
Dionysus/Ariadne is one of my favorite romances of Greek mythology. They fall in love! She dies, and he marches into the Underworld, takes her and his mother, and brings them up to Mount Olympus to become gods! I would love anything about their relationship, what attracted them to each other, Ariadne, Persephone, and Semele bonding in the Underworld and staying close even after Ariadne and Semele become gods. Hades' reaction to Dionysus coming into his throne room and demanding Semele and Ariadne back! Basically, just have fun with Dionysus/Ariadne.
Like I said, I adore Dionysus/Ariadne, so anything goes, so long as you keep their relationship a loving one, despite the darker aspects of stories about Dionysus. I'd love to see Ariadne holding her own in conversations with Dionysus and the other gods, speaking on behalf of mortals both before and after her death and deification.
Request 2 -- Boy Meets World
Eric Matthews
Jack Hunter
Rachel McGuire
I love Eric/Jack as a pairing-- I love how they complement each other, with Jack keeping Eric from going overboard and Eric bringing out Jack's better nature. I would love anything for this pairing, whether it's set during their time at Pennbrooke or post-finale when Jack and Rachel have gotten back from their stint in the Peace Corps and visit or move to New York City. I also love Rachel, so PLEASE no Rachel bashing! I think she is funny and awesome, and I love her friendships with Jack and Eric. (I also wouldn't be opposed to an Eric/Jack/Rachel threesome story, but Eric/Jack is definitely my preference.)
I think these images summarize my feelings for Eric/Jack well. *laughs* Basically I love their dynamic and would be happy for anything involving them. I also love Mr. Feeney, so if you want to include Eric and Mr. Feeney's friendship, by all means!
Also, if you need a refresher course on Boy Meets World, YouTube has the entire series.
Request 3 -- Parks and Recreation
Tom Haverford
Donna Meagle
Jean-Ralphio Saperstein
Lucy (Parks and Recreation)
I love everything about this show, and everything about these characters. I would adore some Donna/Jean-Ralphio fic, maybe where she plans to "use him, abuse him, and lose him" and then accidentally develops feelings (while he's probably been in love with her since they met). If you don't ship them, I'd also take them being accidental friends. If you're not into Donna/Jean-Ralphio at all, I also would love to see some Tom/Lucy now that he's over his ex-wife, or even a fic about Donna and Tom's "Treat Yo'self."
Parks and Rec is one of my favorite ensembles ever-- I would honestly be happy with anything you wrote, whether it was Donna/Jean-Ralphio, Tom and Jean-Ralphio friendship, Tom/Lucy, Lucy and Donna becoming friends, Donna and Tom being BFFs, anything!
Request 4 -- Rod Allbright Alien Adventures - Bruce Coville
Grakker
Flinge "Snout" Iblik
I would be happy with pretty much anything about this series, but here are a few ideas if you need some! I love Snout/Grakker as a pairing, how Grakker is only nice to Snout and how Snout obviously cares for Grakker as well. I'd love to see how they become friends and then lovers (come on, they were bonded and lived in the same room, they were so together). If you're not into the pairing, I'd also love something about the first adventures of the good ship Ferkel, as Grakker, Snout, and the crew get to know each other.
While I love everyone in this series, from Rod to Elspeth to Tar Gibbons, Grakker and Snout is my OTP for that series. I would love to see anything about their dynamic, how their initial dislike of each other turned into such devotion. Again, if you don't see them as in love with each other, just loving each other, I'd be happy with friendship or gen about the first or further adventures of Ferkel and her crew.
Again, I hope you have fun! Thanks for participating in Yuletide, and I hope you enjoy whatever fic you decide to write.
