OMGyuletide, and some TV stuff.
OK I am beyond excited about my Yuletide assignment. I don't think I'll be able to start till November is over (my Nano is slightly behind schedule, in fact about 8000 words behind schedule) but yeah... I think I already had this fic in my head waiting for an audience. Yay.


In general I think I'll be fairly easy to please, except for the one caveat that I'm not a huge fan of smut. I do like R-rated stories, where people have sex but I can use my imagination as to the exact play-by-play. Other than that, any mood, light or dark, is fine, and I also don't have a problem with character death or anything like that. (Rape makes me mildly uncomfortable, though.) I mean, pretty much anything with the characters I requested would be an awesome fic, though - that's why I requested them, so whatever you write I will most gratefully read.

Specific fandoms:
Odyssey 5: Kurt and Angela are one of my favorite pairings and so rarely written that I have yet to find a fic I really love about them. I would love something that explores their relationship in the past or present, but it doesn't have to be the primary focus of the fic if you're into plotty or ensemble stuff.
Garden State: Mark broke my heart in this movie, he really did, and I'd love to see more of his backstory, private life, whatever. I'd prefer gen, or a ship fic of whatever persuasion that focuses on Mark's personality.
Man in the Iron Mask: This is the film that started my love for Gabriel Byrne because, basically, D'Artagnan is the man. I'm not really into slash or unconventional pairings in this fandom, but something about him and Anne would be cool, as would a gen fic.


OK, just a couple random ramblings on TV, the stuff and substance of my life. Grey's Anatomy hasn't been grabbing me in the same way this season. I can't explain the difference, but it's edging a little too close to Ally McBeal for my tastes - even though that was my favorite show ever at the time, I'm not so into stuff like that anymore. Still, the relationship between Burke and Cristina, and the manifold slashy possibilities between Cristina and Meredith and Izzie, and even Izzie's tentative cutesy thing with Alex (I do so love a well-written asshole)... that stuff works for me, so I still watch.

When did The OC get good again? I loved the twist where Taylor is in love with Seth. Awesome. Julie Cooper is evil and delicious. My friends and I are in love with quoting Marissa's line about how "I'm in public school! College is the LAST thing on my mind," because yeah, sure, Marissa, public school kids never ever go to college. Whatever! *g* (Six of the seven of us, with myself as the one exception, went to public school and now they're all doing quite well in the Ivy League, thank you very much.)

And I just found out a good friend of mine from elementary school, who I lost touch with over the last few years, is in Commander in Chief! I can't believe I am not watching that show but I'm definitely going to download all the eps now. Woot.
