Deb's place

Dear Yuletide Writer 2021

Sat, 23 Oct 2021 02:31:36 GMT

Note, my AO3 name is the same - debirlfan

First, I want to thank you for picking one of my fandoms. You may notice that I've requested many of these same fandoms before, and in some cases have received stories for them. Let me reassure you, I loved the stories I got, and simply want more! Hopefully, some of the following will be of help to you, and thank you again.

Likes and DNWs are listed by fandom.

Airwolf

Caitlin O'Shannessy

Michael Coldsmith Briggs III

Worldbuilding

Where is it, what is it?

Airwolf is a 1980's tv show about a heavily armed, supersonic helicopter that was originally created by Moffet, an evil genius/madman working for a secret US agency (a thinly veiled CIA.) Moffet steals the helicopter, killing most of the people he was working with, and takes it to Libya. The Deputy Director of the agency, Archangel, hires Hawke (a Vietnam veteran who's brother is still MIA from the war) to steal it back. Hawke recovers the helicopter, but keeps it to use as leverage to force the agency to find his brother.

Almost all of the episodes of Airwolf are available on both the Roku channel and Peacock.

First, let me assure you that if you'd like to write pre-series worldbuilding, there's no need to include Caitlin. Similarly, if you want to write Michael/Caitlin, there's no need to include worldbuilding.

Prompts:

In canon, Michael has been blown up, tortured, brainwashed and drugged into attempting to kill his superior, all within the span of three years. That's got to leave a few demons, particularly ones that he's really not in a position where he can admit to them. PTSD? Nightmares? Perhaps some seriously unhealthy coping mechanisms? Caitlin's been through some things herself, including having a bomb strapped to her. I could easily see her picking up on there being something wrong with Michael. I'd love any sort of take on that. Porn is always more than welcome, including kink, but if you're not into that, gen is fine.

I'd also be up for any of the usual “get together” type tropes. Undercover as a couple? Trapped in a snowstorm? Etc. Or simple PWP.

If you would like to go with the worldbuilding angle, possibly something pre-series, with Michael overseeing the building of the helicopter? At one point in the series, there is a quote about Airwolf being a “living thing” which could suggest a rudimentary AI? Another possibility would be “fix-it” fic for the 4th season, where Michael is supposedly “transferred” without saying a word, and Caitlin is never mentioned again. Maybe Caitlin has gone to work for the FIRM? Or the two of them have gone somewhere together?

Likes for this fandom: snarky characters, physical or mental h/c, PWP, gen, humor, adventure, women or other characters who are usually in need of rescue turning the tables and being the hero. Note that I'm fine with dub-con and I'm also okay with gore, violence and secondary character deaths (including Hawke and Dom, if you want to write 4th season fix-it.)

DNWs for this fandom: unrequested pairings involving either Michael or Caitlin, main character death, rape, a/b/o, genderswap, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, AUs other than canon divergent. Bodily fluids other than come, sweat or blood.

Indycar RPF

Romain Grosjean

James Hinchcliffe

Conor Daly

Jimmie Johnson

Where is it, what is it?

Various drivers from the Indycar series. Races from the past season are available on Peacock, most of the drivers have their own twitter feeds, etc.

First, let me make it clear that you do not need to use all of my requested drivers. In fact, I don't mind if you use none of them, and instead use your own favorites of current and recent drivers. I nominated the drivers that I thought might be the most fun to throw together, but I really have no particular favorites in Indycar.

I would prefer a gen story in this fandom, and I'd love it if you could write something with at least an undercurrent of humor to it.

Prompts:

A few suggestions. There is approximately a week of practice time prior to the Indianapolis 500, and given typical Indiana weather, usually at least one day ends up being a washout, leaving the drivers with little to do. Several years ago during a rain delay, Hinch started a “planking” thing among the drivers, which led to a bit of unofficial competition to find more and more unusual and outrageous places to plank. Another rain delay could cause a similar contest. Perhaps Hinch (prior contestant on Dancing with the Stars) could give dancing lessons. Likewise, Conor was a contestant on The Amazing Race, and several drivers appeared on Family Feud – perhaps they could appear on some other game show? Or if you'd like to go in another direction entirely, maybe the airport is fogged in, and the drivers have to car pool/road trip together? Maybe the drivers gang up in a prank war on one another? If you have another idea, go with it!

Likes for this fandom: snarky characters, gen, humor up to and including crack. Boys behaving badly.

DNWs for this fandom: sexual content, main character death, rape, a/b/o, genderswap, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, setting change (ie, coffee shop) AUs. Also no serious racing accidents. (I don't mind damaged equipment, but no serious injuries, please.)

Boston Legal

Denny Crane

Alan Shore

Where is it, what is it?

Boston Legal is a spin-off of the long-running David E. Kelley series The Practice, following the exploits of former Practice character Alan Shore at the legal firm of Crane, Poole, and Schmidt. The show focuses to a large extent on the relationship between Denny Crane and Alan.

It's available on Amazon Prime and probably other places as well.

Prompts:

I would love to see more of Denny and Alan post-series. In particular, if you're up for it, how about the two of them dealing with (and probably on different sides) of recent politics. (Something set before/the night of/after the 2016 election would be great!) I am equally okay with the relationship between them being portrayed as either slash or bromance. That said, I'm not interested in porn for this fandom.

Totally optional crossover prompt:

(I know that some people are totally against writing or requesting crossovers with large fandoms for Yuletide, so if you feel that way, just ignore this.) That said, thanks to some technical failure/spacial abnormality, Denny Crane gets swapped with Captain Kirk and ends up on the Enterprise. Even better if he has to pretend to be Kirk in front of the Klingons. (If you choose to write this, you can leave Alan out of the story if you want.)

Likes for this fandom: the relationship between Denny and Alan, despite their differences. Denny being Denny. The thin line between genius and insanity. The sneaky Star Trek references and breaking the 4th wall.

DNWs for this fandom: Porn (slash relationship is fine, but no on-screen porn please) main character death, rape, a/b/o, genderswap, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, setting change AUs. (other than possible crossover as noted) Please no stories of Denny's decline due to “Mad Cow” - I prefer to believe that the experimental treatment worked.

Dear Chocolate Box Writer

Dear Chocolate Box Writer

First, let me thank you for signing up for one of my fandoms. I hope I can make the experience as painless as possible for you. :) Note that all of my requests are for fic. In some cases, these are repeat requests similar to stories I've received in the past, but I've always believed that more is better, and I'd love to see additional “takes” on the same themes.

For this exchange, I'm going to list my likes and DNWs separately for each request, as what I'm looking for from each is a little different.

Airwolf

requested pairings: Michael/Caitlin or Michael & Caitlin

In canon, Michael has been blown up, tortured, brainwashed and drugged into attempting to kill his superior, all within the span of three years. That's got to leave a few demons, particularly ones that he's really not in a position where he can admit to them. PTSD? Nightmares? Perhaps some seriously unhealthy coping mechanisms? Caitlin's been through some things herself, including having a bomb strapped to her. I could easily see her picking up on there being something wrong with Michael. I'd love any sort of take on that, from a gen version up to and including kink (bondage, blood play, pain play?)

I'd also be up for any of the usual “get together” type tropes. Undercover as a couple? Trapped in a snowstorm? Etc.

If that's not your thing, how about some sort of fix-it fic for the way Michael is “transferred” and Caitlin simply disappears at the end of the third season? Any rating is fine. (If you choose to go this route, I'm okay with Dom and/or String being killed.)

Crossover Fandoms

requested pairings:

Rodney McKay (SGA) & Sheldon Cooper (TBBT)

Rodney McKay (SGA) & Sheldon Cooper (TBBT) & Penny (TBBT)

Rodney McKay (SGA) & Rick Castle (Castle)

John Sheppard (SGA) & Rick Castle (Castle)

John Nolan (The Rookie) & Rick Castle (Castle)

McKay & Sheldon or McKay & Sheldon & Penny: I'd love to see Sheldon on Atlantis, preferably arguing with McKay, but another alternative would be McKay and Sheldon attending (or both speaking at) the same lecture. Put Sheldon in the lab, checking McKay's work, or put him on a gate team (where he would undoubtedly complain more than McKay), or nearly coming to blows at a lecture.

Prefer canon pairings (if any) for TBBT, anything goes with SGA. If you'd like to include Penny, perhaps she's there to (try to) keep the peace? Or perhaps McKay and Sheldon have competing theories and it turns out they're both wrong, but an innocent/humorous remark by Penny sends the two guys off in another direction that turns out to be right?

McKay & Castle or Sheppard & Castle: Castle has the ancient gene and touches things with unpredictable results to McKay's dismay. Maybe Kate Beckett's uncle Carson visits her and happens to have a piece of ancient tech with him that Castle accidentally activates? Or maybe Castle ends up on Atlantis? If Atlantis “likes” Castle more than she likes Sheppard, it probably wouldn't go over well.

Feel free to set a story either before or after Castle and Beckett become a couple. Also, add any background pairings from SGA that you prefer.

Nolan & Castle: Stick the two doppelgangers together. Castle is bound to be jealous of the fact Nolan is a real cop. Nolan probably won't appreciate being mistaken for the famous author, and people asking for his autograph when he's trying to work. Alternately, perhaps the bad guys are still after Castle, and Nolan is recruited to stand in for him?

Likes for these fandoms: snarky characters, humor up to and including crack.

DNWs for these fandoms: For these fandoms, a focus on sex or relationships. (No objection to background pairings). Also main character death, genderswap, mpreg/fpreg, A/Us other than the obvious crossovers or canon divergent.

NASCAR RPF

Requested pairing: Kyle Busch & Kurt Busch

These two are essentially on record as each being willing to wreck the other for a win. I have to wonder what Thanksgiving (or Christmas, or Easter) dinner is like in the Busch family? Are they that competitive about everything? What if they were stuck on a road trip together? Or in a bar brawl? (Would they back each other up, or take different sides?) What if they both got rides for the Indy 500? I essentially just want to see the brothers being the competitive (and combative?) brothers that they are.

Likes for this fandom: Humor, pranks, food fights, snark.

DNWs for this fandom: Serious racing accidents. Any sort of sexual or romantic relationship between the brothers (mention of canon relationships with wives/ex-girlfriends is fine). Also death, serious injury, genderswap, mpreg/fpreg, setting change A/Us or anything above a PG rating.

In summary, regardless of which fandom you're here for, have fun writing and don't stress too much. I'm sure I'll love whatever you come up with! Thanks again!

Dear Yuletide Author

Mon, 19 Oct 2015 04:56:32 GMT

Dear Yuletide author:

First, let me thank you for picking one of my rare fandoms. Some of these are fandoms that I've requested in other exchanges in the past. Some requests I haven't matched on, and in other cases, I've received great stories - however, I'm of the opinion is that one can never have too many stories featuring certain characters. I also like to see different takes on the same general theme, so please don't think that I'm requesting again because I haven't liked what I've gotten - that couldn't be further from the truth.

Note my AO3 name is also debirlfan

First, some general wants/do not wants.

Wants: (Things I especially like.)

Snarky characters, physical or mental h/c, humor, PWP, gen, character studies, adventure, women or other characters who are usually in need of rescue turning the tables and being the hero, fix-it fic, A/Us in which events transpired in a different fashion.

Do not wants: (Things that I'm either not interested in for this exchange or that simply don't work for me with the fandoms and characters I've requested.) Death of requested characters, rape by or of requested characters, a/b/o, genderswap, incest, underage, harm to pets, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, coffee shop/band/etc type A/Us, most kinks except as mentioned below.

Things I'm fine with: (If it works for your story, go for it!)

Dub-con (drunken, aliens made them do it, sex pollen), age differences, mild kinks (such as light bondage, playful spanking, sex toys, tickling), crossovers (I've included a list of fandoms I'm familiar with below), crack.

Now on to specific fandoms.

NASCAR RPF

Kurt Busch

Kevin Harvick
Tony Stewart
Danica Patrick

This was the team that most fans (myself included) expected to see implode in short order. Oddly, they've gelled well together, but one does wonder what sort of craziness goes on behind closed doors. Please, avoid any serious racing accidents, although fist fights are more than welcome. Feel free to add any other drivers you'd like.

This is essentially a gen request. If you're looking for specific ideas, perhaps you've seen the Coke racing family road trip commercials? (They're on youtube.) While the drivers I've requested aren't all Coke drivers, I'd love to see them all in a van together going somewhere, with wacky hijinks along the way. Or they get into a bar room brawl. Or they could fight zombies together. I'm not usually a fan of A/Us, but Team Stewart in space could be hysterical. Or the four as a (military?) unit (along the lines of a Stargate gate team.)

SCP Foundation

SCP-978 Desire Camera

http://www.scp-wiki.net/

This is a camera, and the photos which are taken by it show the true desires of the subject. I've received stories for this before, but there are just so many possibilities, and I find the whole idea fascinating. Photos of random people on the street? Politicians and/or world leaders? Animals – in a zoo or in the wild? You could also do a crossover and take photos of the characters from another fandom. Please note that I don't care if you write in the SCP report format they use on the website, I'm really more interested in the concept.

Cubicles & Careers

Cleric

Elf
Knight
Wizard Cubicle Master

If you matched on another fandom or are just browsing letters, take a quick couple of minutes and go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS5-ayYTMiQ&list=PLv69ldfAgpMJJ3ioXM6ap6j-mpocYO1zD and watch these five short videos because the whole idea is funny as hell.

Really what I want is just more of this. Maybe they try to operate the office copy machine. Or make coffee. Or buy lunch (they should have fun with the concept of paper money). (Note that I didn't include the Orc in my nominations or request because I could only pick four characters, but don't feel that you need to exclude him unless you want to.)

@50nerdsofgrey

(none)

The 50 Nerds of Grey twitter account is here: https://twitter.com/50NerdsofGrey

I discovered the account when twitter “suggested” it to me. The first tweet I saw was the following:

'I've been a very bad girl,' she said, biting her lip. 'I need to be punished.' 'Very well,' he said and installed Windows 10 on her laptop.

Here are a few others:

'No . .' she sighed, gazing sadly at the stuffed crust Hawaiian with extra cheese, 'I said I was really turned on by orders from dominants.'

'Are you ready for this?’ he asked. ‘When I’m done you won’t be able to sit down for days' She nodded. 'OK' he said and put the sofa on eBay

She left him after she discovered hundreds of small chess pieces under his bed. She was concerned about his pawn addiction.

Pick any of the 50 Nerds tweets (doesn't need to be one I listed) and run with it – original characters or someone from another fandom. Have fun with it!

Airwolf

Michael

Caitlin

Most of the episodes are on Hulu for free, if you're looking for a source.

I've requested Airwolf (again!) because despite having received a couple of stories in the past, there will never be enough Airwolf fic, and there will -definitely- never be enough focusing on Michael and Caitlin. I do ship the two of them together, and if you'd like to write me Michael/Caitlin porn, that would be fantastic. That said, I know that most of the fandom can't see those two together, so if you can't, I want to assure you that I'm perfectly fine with gen. (Please, don't pair either with someone else, though.)

If you'd like some more specific ideas, how about undercover as a couple? Stuck together in the cold and huddling for warmth? Mental or physical h/c?

Given Michael's history (blown up, tortured, drugged and brainwashed), I could definitely picture him having PTSD or nightmares – and Caitlin figuring that out.

If you'd rather go the gen route, how about if Hawke and/or Dom got into trouble and for once it was Caitlin and Michael who had to save them, rather than the opposite? A fix-it fic to explain the disappearance of both characters at the end of season 3? (Or feel free to ignore the 4^th season entirely.)

Hopefully I've given you some ideas to work with, or you have some of your own. If you're interested in writing a crossover, I'm including a list of fandoms I'm very familiar with, ranging from large to small and a few that are virtually non-existent. (There are probably others, so just ask through the mods if there's something else you'd like to include.)

Devious Maids, The Neighbors (tv alien series), Flo and/or Mayhem, Battle Creek, Keeping Up Appearances, Galaxy Quest, Project Runway US, Star Trek TOS, ST Voyager, ST DS9 including the Avatar books, 2 and a Half Men, 2 Broke Girls, Boston Legal, Scorpion, Indycar racing, NASCAR, Pawn Stars, Castle, Big Bang Theory, SGA.

Whatever you write, have fun and don't stress – I'm sure I'll love what you come up with.
