YULETIDE! I can't believe I signed up. Eek. Excited.
Dear Yulewriter,
These requests are in no order and though they're very different, I love all of them equally.
I would rather you wrote a story that you loved and took pleasure in writing than that you tried to fit what you write into a box of what you think I'd like. There's very little that bothers me, and lots that I find impressive. Good writing, a good story or wise consideration of character or humanity completely trumps my interests.
Shelter (2007): I'd love a story set later than the movie, something where Zach and Shaun explore something together, write and paint, take a holiday with Cody, really nut down their little family. Conversations where they consider the future or house rules, niggling arguments and heightened sex, dreamy mornings with one another but not forgetting who they are and all the ways they rely on others. I'd also love to see ways that Zach supports Shaun, the things he brings Shaun that no one else can, while Shaun supports him so sweetly. My love of the source has to do with their physicality and their ordinariness, as well as how clearly and kindly they love one another.
Earthsea: Tenar's and Tehanu's struggle with who they are, how greatness is about small things, how the past is still with them. I long to know more of how Tehanu sees the world, or more of Tenar's sense of detail. Maybe a future story for Tehanu, travelling to a dragon land. Maybe a character studdy of the two of them with Ged looking at them and knowing them. I love the quiet thoughtfulness of Earthsea; the way power isn't obvious and has great costs; I am interested in love stories as well as stories of magic, the way that family and love are simultaneously primary and secondary to other questions.
Thunder Road: Is there any way that Mary and the guy can have a happy ending? Either one of them. I'd love to see their future apart or together. If you can work out a way that this one chance to make it real is actually optimistic that would be sweet. But again, your take is yours and I just want to know more about these ordinary people who probably won't change the world. Feel free to run wild, set it on another planet far from now. Or stick with what it really is.

Whatever you write, I am already thanking you. And you don't even know you're going to write it yet.
