Yuletide 2018 Letter

[singaroundelay]

Hello my wonderful, wonderful writer!

I'm thrilled that you got matched with me, whoever you are. I'm the weird person sitting over here in the musicals/theatre portion of fandom with the obscure canons so I'm excited to go on this exciting journey with you. Hopefully the likes and ideas will give you something to work with but, honestly, please go wild with this! If you have a better idea then definitely run with it. I just ask that you please respect my DNWs. <3

And, of course, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to either drop a line here anonymously (I left anon commenting on for that reason) or please have the mods poke me!

Likes
This is the fun part - I'm pretty open on my likes. My favorite things tend to be slice of life or moments in a relationship we don't get to see in canon. Missing scenes, stolen moments, romance, etc. You can even show me a different character's POV. I'm a huge fan of anything angsty, but at the same time -- please make sure it's not ending on a dark and depressing note either. I like seeing things that are resolved and end on a hopeful note. If it's not a happily ever after fic, at least let it be a happily ever after... for now.

PS, I do love smuttier stories so don't feel like you have to close the door on my account! But, that said, the story doesn't have to have smut either for me to love it!

PPS, If you give me stories set before a particular canon OR after one or give me some sort of a missing moment that explains an aspect of the canon you will have my undying love forever.

Dislikes
I have very little limits, to be honest if you're going into smut... I'm not here for heavy BDSM, non-sexual bodily fluids (scat, blood, etc), A/B/O, S&M, non-con, mpeg, rape, abuse, etc. Given the tone of most of the canons listed, there's going to be internalized homophobia, angst, and some manipulation. That being said, please don't let it come across like the relationships are unhealthy, non-consensual. If you have a question on where the line is drawn, the fics I've written on AO3 will probably give a good guidance on this! <3

(okay, I ran out of time, I will come back..) OKAY. I know assignments went out so I'm hoping that you do check back here for things. If not, really don't worry. These were just thinky thoughts and things I love. :^)

Requested Canons:
The Boys in the Band - Crowley (Broadway 2018)
So I know this is definitely one of the rarer choices on here and, honestly, if anyone writes from this I'll openly weep. There's not a lot of ways to bootleg this one (I know, I've looked) so the best chance if you don't know the canon is the 1970s movie or to actually read the play. I was lucky enough to see the 2018 revival and am just... obsessed with it!

Prompts
Again, there's a lot of characters in this so please don't feel like you actually have to put everyone in! Since the show takes place over the course of one night, and is mostly from Michael's point of view, I'd love to see how either Hank, Larry, or Donald saw the night. I don't mind making this into a modern AU, but I'd really love to stick to the current time period.

Otherwise (and top choice is anything Hank/Larry related!):
◘ Hank/Larry: Anything pre or post canon. How they got together, what happened that night, what happens the next day & do they actually fix their relationship?
◘ Larry/Donald: Show us the missing scenes of their faceless night at the baths. If you look at the show from either of their POVs, what did they talk about when they kept sneaking off together? Do they wind up sneaking off after that night (aka Larry cheats on Hank. Again.)
◘ Hank/Larry/Donald: What happens after the lights go out? Does Donald go upstairs for that trio -- or does it happen much later on?

Falsettos - Lapine/Finn
Something tells me there's a theme of my choices here -- LGBT shows on Broadway I've seen! Falsettos is my other oh please write me something from this choice. I've written a lot of fic in this fandom (even if I've taken a bit of a writing hiatus). It's such a gorgeous show, completely sung-through, and a series of vignettes about some truly horrible people learning how to find their way through life when being openly gay wasn't at all accepted. Plus.. musical set in the 80s so, sadly we must Bury Our Gays (TM).

Prompts:
◘ Marvin/Whizzer: as, face it, that's what we're all here for. I'm all about seeing how they originally got together (including Marvin's infidelity) and how their relationship fell apart by the end of Act 1. To the counter, show us what happened in those missing years when they were apart. Did they ever see each other? Did they avoid each other? And then how did Whizzer wind up at the Baseball game in Act 2? What changed, etc?

Also! I'm an absolute slut for Falsettos AUs so, please, go have fun. Anything from Baseball Player!Whizzer, to ModernAUs, etc. All I'll say is to please respect Whizzer's death in Act 2. If you don't want to deal with character death, please write earlier things in their relationship!

Legally Blonde - Hach/O'Keefe/Benjamin
Because Christian Borle. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Prompts:
Really, have fun with this. I'm here for the Elle/Emmett. I'd love to see how their relationship actually blossomed through "Chip on Your Shoulder" to.. what happened the other 2 years that Elle was in Law School. What happened after? Etc.

Also, if you feel like writing that Falsettos/Legally Blonde crossover? I'm so not going to stop you. At all.
