I just realized that I hadn't actually written this letter until now (Nov 17, oops). So sorry, Writer! I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience. . .
I put the broad strokes in my sign up form -- so if you've already started, you should be good to go. But if you want a bit more to go on, here are some things I particularly like about my requested fandoms:
H2 (manga) is as simple as a summer day, but it's profoundly moving, all the same. If you choose to write for this fandom (which you can read online here if you'd like) I'd love to read something that captures the feeling there -- the summer heat, the young love, the friendship, the rivalry. The ambition and the heartbreak. I honestly would enjoy a look at a baseball game, or a date, or a fight between friends, grown up protagonists or a slice taken between the chapters of the manga itself -- go nuts.
To the Hilt by Dick Francis is a great read -- if you're not familiar with Francis' books I recommend them. His protagonists are really the most sensible, clear headed group of people I get to read about, and I find that very refreshing. In this book, Alexander Kinloch adds to that a bit of deeply felt artistic solitude, and a bit of old fashioned family loyalty. I really enjoyed the friendship that built between him and the PI Chris Young, and I feel like there is quite a lot of opportunity there for further development, either in a romantic sense or one of camaraderie. Or both.
The Tower at Stony Wood by Patricia A McKillip is one of my favorite books. I've requested fic for it before with no luck, so I'll just quote myself here:
( quote from previous Yuletide letter )
It all still stands really. :D
Most importantly, please have fun writing for any one of these tiny little fandoms. I do appreciate the fact that you chose to do so, and I look forward to reading your gift!
