ysobelDear Yuletide person:
Hi! I am ridiculously happy you are writing for me :D You probably don't know me, so here's some info on what I like and don't like when it comes to exchange fic.
General likes: Stuff that feels like canon or an extension of canon. Stuff that turns canon on its head. Exploration of worldbuildingy things. Angst. Humor. Crack. Zombies. Recognizable characters. Gen. Not-gen (het, boyslash, femslash, threesomes, poly, whatever; kink or vanilla). Um, obviously you don't have to do all these things in the same fic!
General dislikes: Character bashing. Violence to the point of explicit gore. Mpreg. Rape (although consent play is fine, as long as it's consentual consent play). I have an embarrassment/humiliation squick, so would appreciate avoiding that territory. Also I would prefer no deliberate cruelty to animals.

Fandoms as requested:
(with the info that these are in pretty random order, and do not represent preference order)
Forever (TV) (Henry Morgan)
I have a fondness for person-displaced-in-time narratives (including immortality), so I love this show. I like his fascination with death, both of others and of himself; I like the relationship between Henry and Abraham; I am curious about how and when Abe found out about Henry's condition; etc. There are so many fun things to play with, and I'm sure future episodes will add more. (And if you happen to be familiar with Blood Ties and want to write Henry and Henry together, that would be epic.)
Haven
Haven is one of the shows-of-my-heart that I have a ridiculous fondness for. Anything here would make me happy. If you want to go a relationship route, Nathan/Audrey/Duke is my OT3, with subsets thereof as secondary. But don't feel obligated to go there; gen is perfectly fine. Casefic? Lack of case, how they deal with a normal day? Whatever works, just go for it.
Watership Down - Richard Adams
This has been a favorite book for a long time; I love the story, and also love the mythology. More stories of El-ahrairah? Post-Watership Down adventures or slices of life? Some combination of both? How the journey to WD gets passed down as its own story?
Despicable Me (Movies) - The Minions
I have an absurd fondness for the Minions. That is all :D
Galaxy Quest (1999)
There are so many possibilities here that would make me happy. Pre-movie, post-movie, episodes of the original GQ show, episodes of the *new* GQ show, fandom wars between old-GQ fen and new-GQ fen, ... and other things I'm not thinking of. Go wild.
#
Please note: I am firmly in the camp of "optional details are OPTIONAL". Some writers find unspecified "any" requests to be vague and scary, so I wanted to provide at least some info if useful. I am in no way implying that these are the only foci that will make me happy. Any of the requested fandoms will be equally awesome; anything you chose to write, regardless of whether or not I've mentioned it, will be equally awesome.
So perhaps most important, write something you enjoy!
