jlhFirst, THANK YOU. I think of Yuletide as more of an opportunity to write something a little different than request something to exacting specifications, so whatever you write is more like a totally awesome bonus than the entire reason I'm participating. In other words, NO PRESSURE. This, and my comments on the assignment, are really just suggestions in case you'd like some.
The most important thing really is no deathfic and I prefer a happy ending. I don't mind working for the happy ending; angst that ends well is splendid. Downer endings, though, kinda bum me out. I'm not a freak about plot—in many of the stories I love nothing really happens except maybe an internal change in a character or an emotional realization. Characters are always more important to me than plot and I adore great conversation. So feel free to have them just sitting around drinking coffee and talking about great Heart songs, or have them find a way to Save the World from Certain Destruction, or anything in between!
My requests:
Clueless: Cher and Dionne
New Girl: Cece and Jess
Agents of SHIELD: Melinda and Skye
Best friends and then, well, something else. Do what you will! I just want to see them interacting in awesome ways. I am incredibly amenable to femslash for any of these ladies, but that isn't required or expected. Friendship fic for Cher & Dionne and Cece & Jess is so much more than enough. And for Melinda and Skye, they're not really friends and maybe they never would be but watching them rub up against each other is fascinating because they're coming from such completely different places. Mostly I just adore character interaction, and I'm a giant whore for dialogue (though with Melinda and Skye, I would happily read lots of Skye trying to get Melinda to talk, and Melinda communicating entirely silently).
Project Runway: Dom
She's like the Jay of this season (if your PR knowledge goes all the way back to s1). She's just so chill and cool, and managed to be friendly with pretty much everyone, and everyone saw her as their main competition but also wanted her to come with them to fashion week. That's quite a trick to pull off.
Anything here is awesome. Her thoughts on being a black lady in the racist fashion industry, on what being on PR means to her, on how she came up with the prints she created for her collection, on her real thoughts on her competitors. Or show how she was able to keep her head down and stay cool as the challenges went on. Look, you offered her, you know how amazing she is.
Mostly, thank you in advance; I know that anything you do will be awesome, because it will mean more fic for one of these fandoms, and isn't that the whole point?
