Dear Yuletide Author
Sorry it's taken me a while to get to this. Worst timing ever!
Anyway, here's what I like in fic generally: Clever characterisation. Plot (especially mystery). Smut (any combination of gender and sexuality). Fluff. Hurt/comfort. Any one of these is fine with me - please don't feel you have to attempt them all! I adore AUs, but don't worry at all if they're not your thing - they can be hard work, and Yuletide should be fun. I have a massive teamwork kink, if that works for you.
Angst is OK, but I have a very strong preference for happy endings. I'm quite difficult to squick, but please don't take this as a challenge. It would be lovely if there were some women in your fic, doing their own thing and not being plot devices or motivational tools.
Anyway, on to the fandoms:
The Shadow Police - Paul Cornell
It would be difficult to go wrong in this fandom. Just, the team. Doing their thing.
Midsomer Murders
I love Midsomer, but I get a bit frustrated sometimes with the way it feels disconnected from the rest of the world. I know that's part of the point, but it just annoys me a bit. Your challenge (should you choose to accept it - and of course it's not compulsory) is to write a fic connecting Barnaby (preferably John) and his investigations to the outside world in some way. That would make me very happy.
Angelmaker - Nick Harkaway
Edie Bannister is awesome. If you write me anything featuring her (at any age, doing almost anything), I will be happy.
