cephalopodDear Yuletide Writer!
This is me and I'm so !@#$! delighted that I landed you as my writer. Hi. :) I'm really looking forward to seeing somebody else's thoughts on things in these love-needing canons. Thank you so much!
First off, no need for warnings or worry. Feel free to play fast and loose in general--I have no triggers that I'm aware of and I'm comfortable with reading just about any kink or range of consent you care to employ.
I like smart characters being smart. I like competent characters being competent. I like bastards being absolute bastards, unrepentantly. Smirking abuse of power makes me squee. A well-written piece of absurdism or black comedy would probably make me dissolve with delight; they're so rare in ANY fandom and simply don't exist in little ones. If you like to drive the crack van, I love you and I welcome you to drive it into your prompt at full speed regardless of any other details I've mentioned or requested.
I don't enjoy angst unless it's played for laughs. I don't mind a bit for effect, however. Conventional romance tropes leave me cold. I love clever dialogue but eventually people ought to actually do something, I think. I'm indifferent to the presence or absence of explicit sex, any type; go with what the story wants.
More info on the requests themselves--
Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex
My request: Tachikomatic humor and bizarre near-misses at human behavior move me greatly. So does pretty much anyone in Section 9 waving around their ultra-competence and badassery. I'm not particularly into romance but sex (or the Tachikoma equivalent) is dandy!
I admit it, I seriously want to see anything in which the Tachikoma have a major role. I adore demonstrations of the way their perspective is definitely NOT human, and the difference between how they deal with humans and with each other. I have never seen Tachikoma porn. I would give a kidney to see Tachikoma porn. DO NOT KILL THE TACHIKOMA.
Anyway, Tachikomas are not the be-all end-all of my GitS love. Aramaki doesn't get nearly enough affection, I think, and the paternal, canny way he rules his squad of terrifying badasses while being so physically unremarkable is something I enjoy lots. His less-guarded interactions with the Major and with Batou are some of my favorites in the series. The Major and Batou themselves have gotten lots of attention already, especially together. I like the pairing but I'm more interested in exploring other characters.
Oglaf (Need a refresher? NSFW of course.)
My request: There are a lot of characters that didn't make it into the request list, any of which I'd kill to see in fic: the medi-nuns ("I haff the llubeworm"), the LASER-FALCON of Gar (and the laser-everythingelse of Gar?), the castle guards, etc. I'm hoping to see Sandoval and/or the Mistress being complete *bastards* if they do show up. Abuse that authority/diplomatic immunity!
Cripes, I kind of have no idea where to start with this one. I just love the castle and all the weird background things that go on in it. There's so much room there to flesh out minor details...if I had to pick a favorite, it's probably the medi-nuns with their unsettling fleshy mouths and their llubeworms and their treatments for sssexual inexperiencce. What the hell is UP with them? What do they actually do all day? And what about the rest of the support staff--the guards (some of whom are Xoan blue, I note), the kitchens, the laundry, the Mistress-oilers...what's work like after the debauchery gets routine?
Gankutsuo
My request: I love nearly anything featuring the Count and his men--Baptistin and Bertuccio are such a matched set and I love their combination of street roughness and genteel subservience. Something that plays up that contrast would be choice. Though I've requested only male characters, please don't feel as though you should shy away from female ones.
When I mentioned absolute, unrepentant bastards earlier, I was mostly thinking of the Count. :) I hope you'll give him room to make someone's day (or year, or life) completely miserable and let him do it in the ridiculously over-the-top lavish and savorous way he has. I'm uninterested in the Count's redemption or downfall. I am COMPLETELY interested in his attendants and household as they serve his interests. Watching Albert and Franz react to the pageantry is fun, but I'd prefer them as foils rather than the focus.
Hark! A Vagrant (link to archive)
My request: Nikola Tesla's trouble fending off women--Queen Elizabeth's ever-expanding ruff and trouble fending off men! A match made in heaven, no? <3 I also love the way the Pony, the Hipster Soldiers, and the Mystery Teens ignore the requirements of their roles and just hang out all the time. I have a perverse fondness for characters that never actually do anything.
I mentioned Queen Elizabeth and Tesla in my request and these are the particular strips I had in mind, so here y'go: Liz 1 Liz 2 Ladies PLEASE . I love both of the characters, together or separate--and while my request jokes about romance between them I think it would be even more funny to put them together and watch it not happen AT ALL. Feel free to go nuts with any other combinations of characters who could never meet...I'm thinking of the Laura Secord/Paul Revere strip, which filled me with delight. I love crack pairings and this fandom is swimming in potential for them.
I have also just realized that despite what I said earlier about clever dialogue eventually needing to give way to action, this fandom is an exception. The Mystery Teens, the hipsters, it's all about just standing around. EXPLORE THE LIMITS OF CHARACTER INERTIA. And then the Fat Pony can fly in and fix everything. :D
