Elemental Logic - Laurie J. Marks
Medric (Elemental Logic), Karis G'deon, Zanja na'Tarwein
Thank you so much for agreeing to write a story for me! I love Yuletide, and so look forward to opening my surprise!
The characters in the Elemental Logic books have a warmth and an intensity that I find compelling, and the matter-of-fact and inclusive approach to gender, sexuality and chosen family is so refreshing and validating. But the thing that really hooked me, was the riveting, visceral description of sensations, that made touch and taste and textures come alive.
Maybe an adventure story for Zanja from before she meet Karis? Or someone (Medric?) develops a giant crush on Karis, and tries to hide it, with comedic results? Whatever you write would be great: I'd be so happy to read a new story in this world.

Girl Genius (Webcomic)
Zeetha Daughter of Chump, Jenka (Girl Genius)
I love the Girl Genius stories: this is a really open brief. Maybe an intensely focussed / hot moment with Zeetha and her knives? A side adventure with Jenka and the other Jägers?
I like stories where people are clever and kind, but maybe a bit edgy and intense too.
Really, please just write what you want to: any addition to the Girl Genius world would be so welcome.

Hot Fuzz (2007)
Nicholas Angel, Danny Butterman
I adored this movie, brilliant and over the top ridiculous at the same time. I'd love another adventure with Sergeant Nick Angel and Danny. Maybe they embark on another adventure, and Danny holds the clue to the solution, because it follows the plot of a well-known action movie. Or more about the night that Danny took Angel home?
Or write something else: I'm sure I'll enjoy any story you want to tell.
