vivienDear Author,
I'm so happy you're writing for me. It's been a few years since I've had the spoons to do Yuletide, and I'm excited to be back. I hope you'll be pleased you're writing for me, as well. I'm pretty easy.
I don't have many squicks or do not wants. My theme for requests this year is "I want more." I enjoy character development and interesting stories. I'd prefer something in between serious dark angst and fluffy fluff romance - realism in stories, even those set in fantasy worlds is my favorite. I love when characters have complementary matches - they bring out the best in each other, and they recognize the worst in each other and support each other anyway. Romance is great, and I don't care about rating. If you write a romantic scene, it can fade to black or be graphic with some spice (light bdsm)!
Crack is fine so long as it makes sense, and as long as you're not making fun of the characters, I'm all in for good fun.
I'd rather not have a story that has gross bodily fluids sloshing around, graphic violence, or pet/animal death.
Here are my prompts:
Love Between Fairy and Devil: I love this series. I finished it and wanted more. These are the four characters I love best. I especially enjoy Shangque, who I'd love to read more about. He's a dragon! That's so cool! If there is a focus on Dongfang Qingcang and Ziao Lanhua, I'd love it to be post-canon. I really want to know what happened next. I'd enjoy knowing how their relationship deepened or changed, or deepened AND changed.
The Decameron: I watched this not expecting to love it and really not expecting to fall in love with Panfilo and Neifile. But I sure did! They're so interesting to me, especially thinking about Panfilo's queerness at a time when it wasn't allowed. The other characters are fine, and as long as Panfilo and Neifile are the focus of the story, include who you like! I don't want them to be sexually romantic with each other, though, please.
Library of Legends: I read this book earlier this year, and it has stayed with me. I wonder about Sparrow and what happened to her when the celestial gates closed. Did the gods and spirits ever go back? Did she miss the world? Did the God of Nanking recover? And back on earth, did Hu Lian ever see one of the entities that didn't choose to leave? What happened? As with my other request, I simply want more.
Thanks again and happy writing!
Viv
