Dear Yuletide 2023 Writer Letter
Oct. 19th, 2023 09:18 pmThank you for writing for me, dearest yuletide writer!
The verses I am requesting this year:
Zhen Hun | Guardian - Priest (novel)
Mo Du | The Light in the Night - Priest (novel)
French Revolution RPF
Shi Shen Ling | Ying Yang Master (not the Dream of Eternity one)
Sha Hai | Tomb of the Sea | Sand Sea (drama)
I love crossovers if you have read/seen more than one of these!
Always accept treats!
Any of the characters listed work for me, except where otherwise indicated or where I mention that I would like a pairing.
General DNWs:
A/B/O fics
Wingfic
Christian angels and devils where they are not there in canon
Hanahaki disease
Simplifying highly complex political events into who was sleeping with whom soap-opera
Guardian (zhen hun) - Priest:
Specific DNW:
Papa Zhao being called Zhao Xinci. Shennong's Bowl being called Zhang Shi.
Dead mom. Mama Zhao "The Empress" is still very much alive and well!
Gui Mian | Ghost Face being called Ye Zun. - Also, in the novel, Shen Wei and Gui Mian have a very different relationship than in the drama.
Dramaverse!Lin Jing
Potential prompt ideas:
- The Magistrate|The Judge owes Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei after the events of the book. He gets pulled in on something, either to pull one over on someone, or something where he has to deal with Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei being themselves at something.
- The Magistrate accidentally has a run in with Papa Zhao. Now Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei both have to play normal with the Magistrate. It's a hard run to say who is the least normal out of the three of them.
- Results of what happened at the end of the book world-wise - theoretically now the reincarnation wheel is complete. Does that mean there are a number of newly be-souled former ghost tribe ghosts running around very confused, in whatever level of reincarnation the reincarnation cycle they were put in? Were they shoved into the reincarnation cycle too? How does Shen Wei feel about this? (Bonus: Gui Mian also got be-souled and is also running around, only possibly sans memory.)
- Shen Wei won over Zhao Yunlan's mom pretty darn fast. How long does it take him to win over Zhao Yunlan's dad? How does he do it?
- Does Zhao Yunlan's dad even know his son deals with ghosts and zombies and yao and things? Like Shennong Bo did, but did Zhao Yunlan's dad? Either of Zhao Yunlan's parents finding out about that and being all, does Shen Wei know or whatever they would think, up to you, would be great!
- Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei exploring Zhao Yunlan's godly abilities and/or Shen Wei's ghostly ones, which he still absolutely has, either out of bed or in bed. (Also, possibly addressing: whatever did Shen Wei slice Zhao Yunlan's shirt with while drunk?)
The Light in the Night (Mo Du) - Priest:
- Lu Jia x Zhou Huaijin - anything shipping these characters would be great
- Lu Jia and Zhou Huaijin and Zhang Donglai - anything with these three meeting and having a conversation, maybe meeting over what happened to Zhou Huaixin in the book, and then having a talk about the events that went down in the later part of the book.
French Revolution RPF:
Frev Specific DNW:
Simplifying highly complex political events into who was sleeping with whom soap-opera (with the exception of the au below - but still, there are politics and political disagreements going on, please don't forget that just because of relationships)
Modern au
potential prompts:
Fouche / Robespierre or Fouche and Robespierre - anything where they are interacting
AU - Fouche decides to ship Robespierre out of France rather than what went on at 9-10 Thermidor
- for whatever reason - if you want to have Charlotte Robespierre have actually agreed to get married to Fouche, for this outcome, amazing.
- If you want to have Fouche/Robespierre so Fouche decides to ship him out, but only after what went on on 9 Thermidor, amazing too.
- If you want to have Robespierre have agreed to look into Collot d'Herbois rather than Fouche for overenthusiasm in Lyon, go for it.
- If you want to have Robespierre have given Fouche a job or maybe some heat/a hospital and saved his eldest son so Fouche was not mourning his infant son when Robespierre made noises about having him arrested for overenthusiasm, I'd love that too
Yin Yang Master | Shi Shen Ling (not Dream of Eternity |not Qing Ya Ji):
Cimu/Qingming while they are growing up. Cimu coming to his conclusions about things he could be doing with Qingming's powers during their growing up and possibly suggesting things to test Qingming's abilities. (This relationship should be very dubcon)
Sha Hai | Tomb of the Sea (TV show):
DNW:
Liu Sang (Wang Can is fine to appear, but please don't ship him with Zhang Rishan)
Potential prompts:
- Zhang Rishan actually knows a lot more than he seems to in canon - aka knowing things that he would know if he had gone through the book extras as Foye's adjutant|fu guan|assistant!
- Pangzi/Zhang Rishan or Pangzi & Zhang Rishan: Pangzi seems to launch a very concerted "make this Zhang smile" campaign on Zhang Rishan, and Zhang Rishan grins like he hasn't grinned since, well, Foye and Baye were around and he was much, much younger. Would love more exploration of their relationship and future meetings after they meet each other that first time and a continuation of the "make this Zhang smile" campaign, including possibly potential Pangzi nicknames for him.
- Getting along with Hei Xiazi and Xiao Hua over the years and over Sha Hai times (getting reports on the stuff Wu Xie is up to and being like shaky-eyes and heart-eyes at the same time).
