Yay Yuletide!

[scribblinlenore]

I've been mulling over the possibilities, and I finally decided to go with three movies and three books: Heathers, LA Confidential, My Beautiful Laundrette, Woman On The Edge Of Time by Marge Piercy, the Melusine series by Sarah Monette, A Companion To Wolves by Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear

Although I had to leave Life On Mars, Mad Men and Fringe off the list, so...hmm. I'm not sure this is final. *g*

Sweet, more love for My Beautiful Laundrette and anything by Sarah Monette:)

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

My Beautiful Laundrette is one of my favorite movies ever! I watched it a few months ago with some NYC fangirls, and we all agreed that it totally needed to be part of Yuletide. And I really, really want some Felix/Mildmay, because...well, you know, I'm me. *g*

You know you want to write Mad Men. You know you do. Also, this season has been insane. Insanely awesome and well written, y/y?

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

I do want to write Mad Men! And yes, yes, yes, this season has been totally awesome. I wondered at the beginning if they'd be able to keep up the momentum they had last season, but they've totally gone beyond all my expectations. I really can't wait to see where this most recent story line with Don goes, and all the stuff they're doing with Betty. And the priest and Peggy. And, oh my God, Joan! That was one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen on TV. I can't wait for this week's episode.

Mad Men looked pretty well covered by the time I nominated it. You won't need to worry. :)

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

That's what I figured! A lot of people with good taste would nominate it. :)

I agree with everything you said. Everytime I think, oh my god, they're not going to do there are they? They go there. And the Joan thing upset me so badly I couldn't even speak. Clearly this is Matt's way of pointing out, when you get what you think you want, it's really not what you want at all. I knew things were suspect when the doctor was all, you don't need to work, and Joan's like, but I want to, and then when she wanted to be on top and he was all no, not having it, but that scene, just completely broke me. I totally had a 'Sons of Anarchy moment (have you watched that?) where I wanted him to get his head blown off. I totally undestand where Joan's come from, she's been waiting and holding out for the guy who she thinks is ideal, who she thinks will give her the life she is supposed to have, and then it turns out, that it's not ideal at all.

Sarah Monette! ♥ I would love me some fic in that universe.

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

Me too, me too! Okay, actually I specifically want Felix/Mildmay. 'Cause I'm just that kind of gal! *bg*

[margueritem.livejournal.com]

Felix/Mildmay! ♥ prettily, prettily fucked up boys. ♥

*blink* Heathers. How has Heathers never occurred to me before? Brilliant. And LA Confidential, yay!

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

I just love Heathers so much! And, hey, LA Confidential, too. Yuletide is a happy time of year!

[athenejen]

It is! Now I just have to figure out how in the world I'm going to narrow down all the requests I've been thinking about to only 4!

Man, now I really want to re-watch Heathers. I love that movie, but it's been years since I last saw it.

I decided not to nominate Fringe on the assumption that enough other people would; it was mentioned all over the brainstorming thread. So! *crosses fingers*

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

*crosses fingers too* I really hope it is! I wasn't sure how I felt about the show after the first couple of episodes, but I've kept watching it, and it's totally grown on me. I'd love to read some fic!

Life On Mars is apparently too big for Yuletide by now, which is yay in one way and boo in another.

Er. Presuming you mean the UK one. I think the US one would be eligible.

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's too bad about Life On Mars. The fandom isn't really that big. And yes, I do mean the UK version. *shudders at the thought of the US one*

Especially because I'm a Gene/Sam shipper.

*shudders some more*

[coneyislandbaby]

I'm actually really positive about the US version. But I ship everyone/everyone so I'm not that bothered by no slash. And er... I probably shouldn't mention my weird crush on Harvey Keitel. I can't help it. He played Judas.

[redfirecracker.livejournal.com]

OMG!!! A Companion to Wolves fic! THAT IS SO FREAKIN' COOL I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS!!!!!!!!

......... okay, I should probably pause to breathe, or something. Ahem.

Anyway, very exciting!

I love the gay wolf book so much! I'd especially like stories that explore how the main character gets on with his two husbands. *crosses fingers*
