Dear Yuletide Santa,
Oct. 16th, 2012 12:46 amFirst of all, thank you so much for writing a story just for me! It's pretty awesome, given the nature of this fest.
My generalities really didn't change between last year and this year.
What I Like
kid!fic (as in, the characters have kids, not the character are kids - toddler age is perfect), crushes/beginning of relationship (the concept of the feelings coming to fruition and both parties going, "WTF is going on? Why am I acting this way around him/her?" is one of my favorite fandom tropes), smut is always good, flirting.
What I Don't Like
Incest, bestiality and molestation are my only three sexual squicks, fandom has desensitized me to everything else. Character bashing. Yes, I'm generally a slasher but that doesn't mean I hate the female (or in the case of a femslash ship, male) characters (or, if I do, it's for reasons unrelated to "I ship his/her love interest with his/her best (fe)male friend and s/he gets in the way of the gay sex"). On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don't want them to, they exist. If you're gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please.
And now onto my specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: Eureka, Fargo/Holly
These two are the ultimate geeky couple, and my love for them knows no bounds. A fic showing off their geekyness would be awesome!
THESE TWO! My boyfriend introduced me to Fargo/Holly by telling me they reminded him of us, and me, being a shipper, was addicted. They are the perfect geeky couple and just, gah! They play D&D, for Pete's sake! And Holly is played by the one of the ultimate geek girls, Felicia Day (who I now adore). I love them, they love each other, and a fic of their love would be, well, love. (And surprisingly, "love" still looks like a word.)

Requested Fandom #2: w-inds., Keita/Ryohei
Something set during the MLT tour, or maybe a soccer AU?
Oh look, it's a year that's divisible by two, so it's time for me to request w-inds. fic. Anything you come up with will make my day. These two are so cute it hurts.

Requested Fandom #3: Ben 10, Ben/Kevin
Ben and Kevin drag race, winner chooses prize
I've recently decided to finish what I started and actually watch these series (I was originally watching Alien Force as it aired, and had to stop), and I was reminded what I loved about it the first time. Ben is a badass, Kevin is a badass, and well... slash goggles go on when it comes to Ben and Kevin. But! This prompt doesn't have to be all about the slash. They are still two teenaged boys with some pretty badass cars, so this could go anywhere.

Requested Fandom #4: Men in Black, Jay/Kay
The day Kay recruited Jay wasn't the first time they met, far from it, Jay just doesn't realize it because he was neurolyzed every other time.
So, I watched MIB3 recently, and after <spoiler>it was revealed the General's son that shows up toward the end of the movie was baby!Jay</spoiler>, this plot bunny came to rest inside my head and likes the food, or something. It won't go away. This doesn't have to be inherently slashy, but if it goes that way I won't be upset.
