rabidsamfanThis was a placeholder. I apologize, but I needed to have an entry for the sign up form, and luckily I didn't need to end up in the hospital. It has the fandoms now. But I am still pretty out of it. My previous yuletide entries here or at LJ pretty much cover the things I like and don't like. check the dyw letter tag for more coherence.

General likes: alternating viewpoints, fluff, "what comes next", fix it fics, kidfics, gen, sex or violence up to PG levels, hurt/comfort (heavy on the comfort), crack taken seriously, crack taken to the extreme, happy endings, character studies, alternate viewpoint of canon, missing scenes, alternate universes of the "diverging from canon" kind, and stories similar to what canon provides.
Request 1 by rabidsamfan
Fandom:New Avengers (TV)
Mike Gambit (New Avengers (TV)) Purdey (New Avengers (TV)) John Steed (New Avengers (TV))
Summary
I'd really like a friendly smutty threesome, or something focussing on Gambit, but anything would make me happy.
DNW good people being evil, underage, noncon (recovery from noncon okay, but don't focus on the hurt part.), hatesex.
This is my perennial request. There are LOTS of ideas in earlier letter. It's also the only fandom where I'm hoping for something more explicit, so please check the squicks/dnws at the bottom of the letter.
Fandom:Miss Sherlock (TV)
Shibata Tatsuya Tachibana Wato
Summary
I'm especially interested in Wato or the younger policeman, and would love any story which either expands on what we see in the series or looks at the aftermath. (Especially the emotional aftermath.) If you know Japanese culture, please feel free to delve deeply into it. While I loved this series, I'm an American and I am positive I missed a lot of the nuances. I did find all of the characters in the tag set interesting, so you don't have to stick to these two.
DNW for this fandom, please keep the rating low. No smut please.
I pretty much covered it in the prompt, but let me add here that the reason I don't want sex for this fandom is because I'm far more interested in the world and the way that Wato is navigating a return to it. There's so much here, and I adore the way that the writers managed to take Doyle's stories and improve them (especially the Sussex Vampire.) Just have fun.
Fandom:The Court Jester (1955)
Sir Ravenhurst Maid Jean Hubert Hawkins
Summary
Ravenhurst survived the fall. And now he has to cope with the new regime.
Or maybe it's his ghost?
You can also feel free to write about Jean and Hubert after the the end of the movie, or their early fumblings toward romance before it begins. Or a missing scene! I love missing scenes. If you can't fit in all three characters, that's okay. Hubert babysitting the Prince will always make me smile.
This is one of my all time favorite movies, so if you do anything which matches its glorious silliness and genuine heart I will love it.
DNW. Darkfic, unhappy fic, anything above a PG rating...
No one had requested this, so I switched to it, because I will always love this movie. Hubert is an excellent hero, and Jean is wonderful. I also like kidfic, so something post movie where they're dealing with a toddler King would amuse me tremendously. Or a ten year old king who wants an adventure in the Forest and sneaks out of the castle. (with or without their assistance.) Basically if you have fun, I will have fun.
Fandom:Der schweizerische Robinson | Swiss Family Robinson - Johann David Wyss
Fritz Robinson (Swiss Family Robinson - Wyss)
Summary
What if they weren't rescued? Or at least, not so soon. What would that mean to Fritz as he grows older? Although any little slice of island life would make me happy. (Feel free to focus on other family members too, but do include Fritz.)
I know that various translations of this book have... well... differences, so don't be shy if the version you found in your grandparents' bookshelf had pirates. I'm open to adventures too!
DNW, well, smut. Not in this fandom anyway.
I haven't read this book in years. Which is why I picked Fritz, because at least I remembered which one he was. But I do like the whole family, so don't feel limited by that.
Fandom:Mission: Impossible (TV 1966)
Rollin Hand Barney Collier Willy Armitage
Summary
I always liked these guys, and I'd love to see an adventure focussing on any of them. Or perhaps some time when they are off duty and just hanging around. What got them into the job? Character studies are fun. Maybe one of them gets into deep trouble and the rest of the team has to get out. I don't ship any of these guys with each other, but if you want to try to convince me that they've got hormones you can try.
DNW hurt without the comfort. You can go dark here, but please no underage or good guys actually being evil. If you have dubcon or noncon, show it as something the "bad guys" do, and I don't need details.
I don't know if I had a worse crush on Rollin or Barney when I was a kid. (I wanted my little brother Willie to be like Willy when he grew up and that's not the same thing at all.) I liked how all of them were sublimely competent though. Even though my favorite episodes were always the ones where something went wrong...
This is probably the fandom where you should look hard at my do not wants and squicks below, because this one can get darker but there are some things that will make me backbutton really fast.
Fandom:The Uninvited (1944)
Roderick Fitzgerald Pamela Fitzgerald (The Uninvited (1944)) Stella Meredith Dr. Scott (The Uninvited (1944))
Summary
How on earth do you settle down to an ordinary existence after that?!
I loved all these people in the movie, and I'd be delighted to see what their lives are like as they try to adjust to the knowledge that Ghosts are Most Definitely Real.
Are there other haunts around?
Or is there a story you really wanted to tell when you nommed/offered this? Do you want to retell it in a different setting?
DNW anything more than a PG rating... (i.e., if there's sex, draw the curtains)
I'd like something in the vein of the movie. Spooky is good! But there's a sense of humor that defeats the darkness, and even when I was hiding behind the couch to watch this, that's what I loved best.
DNW and Squicks
Copied again, because still true.
When I've asked for sex between canon characters I am wanting safe, sane, and consensual. Awkward is good. First times are fun (especially if it's only 'first time with these partner(s)' rather than losing virginity.) Safe words are a must if you go for bondage situations, please, (because trust is hot) but you'd have to work harder than its worth to convince me that the characters in any of the fandoms listed here are seriously into D/s. That said, if you want to write a story where the bad guys have done something awful, like torture, you can reference it: but go light on the details, please? I want to be enthusiastic about my response to you.
My DNWs are a combination of things which fail to float my boat, things which bore me, and things which I will only venture to read in the hands of authors whose skills have given me reason to trust.
I will never like hatesex, pederasty/chan/underage, incest, slavery kinks, slavery AUs, humiliation kinks, and things like bloodplay or scat. You can mention body fluids, because messy sex is messy, but body fluids do not excite me. Nor do any kinds of kinks involving piercing, amputation or other body alterations.
I am bored at best by mpreg and omegaverse and tropes where biology or legal structures determine sexual relationships. I am fussy about genderbending and soulbonding, and you're probably safer not going there.
But my biggest squick is probably good characters turning out to be evil. Don't take a character darker than canon unless you really know them and the canon well. (And even then, be careful not to make them thoroughly bad.) I have read stories with dubcon and noncon I've liked, but so rarely as to make it not worth your odds. If the bad guys are doing that sort of thing "offscreen" and the story is about healing from it, yeah, I like healing/comfort fics. But stay away from my chosen characters being rotten, please.
Bonus Fandom:Calvin & Hobbes (I requested it, and then changed out for The Court Jester. But I wouldn't mind a story here if the mods are okay with it.)
Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes) Calvin's Mother (Calvin and Hobbes) Hobbes (Calvin and Hobbes)
Summary
What's it like to have a kid like Calvin? What's it like to have a stuffed tiger in the house which doesn't always seem to be in the place where you left it?
DNW: smut. I mean, really, don't ruin anyone's childhood.
Want to cross Calvin with something unlikely? Now's your chance. Want to see grown up Calvin with a kid and his mom being the grandmother who is getting revenge? That would be fun too. Mostly what I'd like here is something lighthearted.
