yuletide author,
Hey, there. I guess with ~2000 participants, we probably don't know each other. Hi! I'm Raven, it's nice to meet you, and thank you so much for writing for me.
First of all, I want you to know: I like everything, I read most things, basically I am easy like pie. If you saw your assignment and immediately knew what you wanted to write, you go ahead and write it, don't mind me. But if you didn't and you like extra details, well, here you are.
Generally: I like sweet fic, I like angsty fic, I like fic with good dialogue. Don't think you need to write sex in my fic, or that you need to write any kind of romance at all. I like slash, I like het, I really like gen. I'm not really into kink, but I doubt that will come up in my requests anyway.
My requested fandoms:
-Anastasia Krupnik. As I think I said in my sign-up, Anastasia is awesome. If you're writing for this I know you think so too, so anything that showcases Anastasia's awesome would be.... well, you know. I'd like to see what she was like as she grew up, whether she liked boys or carried on getting girl-crushes, what she was like in high school or maybe in college, with the backdrop of her equally awesome family behind her. But, well, anything Anastasia would be great.
-Casson family series. I do love these books, but I picked "any" for my characters because the thing I love the most is the mass-lunacy aspect, the way it's all the characters together who make the books so fun. I love Saffron and how determined she is and Caddy and how delightfully ditzy she is and Indigo and Tom for how adorable they are and Rose for... well, being her. And Eve, and her brain juice! I love all of them. So if you wrote me an ensemble piece, I would love it, regardless of you know, what happened in it or anything.
-Vorkosigan saga. This is less obscure than the other two but I suspect my tastes may be a little obscure, as my favourite character in the whole series is Gregor, closely followed by Cordelia. I love these two and I especially love them together. There's a trend in the books to hint that they have an interesting, sweet relationship: right at the beginning, Cordelia is yelling for the Barrayarans to treat Gregor as an ordinary, orphaned child once in a while, and then years later we hear in passing that after his suicide attempt, it's Cordelia whom Gregor talks to. I love the fact that they've apparently maintained that almost-parental closeness for all the years in between, that she's the closest thing he's got to a mum. I should note for the record: I haven't read Diplomatic Immunity. But other than that, do what you will, dear author, I've rambled on quite enough.
In short: if you like writing it, I will like reading it. I hope you have a ball.
Much love,
~Raven

shimgray, foreverdirt and I have spent our evening being ENTIRELY BAFFLED by a loltastic Paul Simon song entitled "Rene and Georgette Margritte With Their Dog After the War". It's been a long and very strange day.
