Dear Yuletide Author,

I am [archiveofourown.org profile] SweetPollyOliver on AO3. Thank you so much for offering to write for one of my fandoms! I really appreciate it and I can’t wait to read what you will write. Also, if you are writing treats, I am absolutely open to treats based on any of my requests. Thank you for making the yuletide a wonderful fandom experience!

First and foremost, I hope that you write something you really enjoy. I will give more specific guidelines in case that’s what you’d prefer to work with, but they are just that: guidelines. Beyond my DNWs, I’m very happy for you to follow your own muse wherever it leads you, be it SFW or NSFW, fluff or angst, gen or shippy.

Likes, DNWs, requests and prompts under the cut! )

Dear Festividder,

I am [archiveofourown.org profile] SweetPollyOliver. Thank you so much for offering one of my fandoms! I'm really excited to see what you come up with.

In terms of my general vid preferences, I really like both uptempo vids with a strong beat and lots of movement and slower, more contemplative character studies with lots of long clips. And everything in between those extremes! I'm pretty easy to please, so whatever you feel inspired to make will be amazing.

In terms of my specific preferences:

Gattaca
My strong preference for this is not to include any footage of Eugene's suicide at the end of the film. Other than that, I'm open to anything! It would make my entire year to see a Gattaca vid of any kind.

Galaxy Quest
Oh man. There are so many ways you could go about this, all of which I'd love. You could frame it as a love letter to fandom (or SF, or Star Trek), you could make a shippy vid (I am partial to Gwen/Jason/Alexander, Jason/Alexander, Gwen/Jason and Fred/Laliari), you could make something funny highlighting the many shortcomings of our intrepid crew, you could break my heart and do something sad centred around the Thermians. I'd be so thrilled to see anything for this movie.

Singin' in the Rain
I think some kind of a vid centred around dance (or ~showbusiness) could be really fun! If you made it polyam I would love you forever and ever.

Buzzfeed Unsolved
I'm very open to you pulling footage from other sources (e.g. other Buzzfeed videos with Shane and Ryan, Watcher content, etc.) if you want to. I prefer Supernatural to True Crime (also I think it's more visually interesting footage a lot of the time from a vidding point of view) and something spoopy might be fun, but equally something funny would be very much in the spirit (heh) of the show. I would also love something about Ryan and Shane's friendship, because they are my brotp.

Much Ado About Nothing (1993)
I'll be completely honest, I don't have many ideas for this one, but I saw it in the tagset and went completely feral. I love this play and, specifically, I love this adaptation so goddamn much. I successfully campaigned for my sister to be named Beatrice because I loved this adaptation so much when I was ten. Something snarky/funny for Beatrice/Benedict would be amazing. My main request here, I guess, is to keep it fairly light. I know that there is some Dark Stuff with the Hero/Claudio plotline, but what I really love about this play is the silliness and hijinks. I would not be at all averse to you pulling footage from other adaptations (e.g. the Nothing Much To Do webseries or the David Tennant and Catherine Tate stage version, although not the Joss Whedon version which I have Opinions about) if you wanted to!

Some Like It Hot
Again, something silly would be so welcome for this source. I would request though to try not to frame the dressing-as-women part of the plot as being funny in and of itself.

The Road to El Dorado
Another source where wacky hijinks abound! Again, if you could find some way to make this polyam, I would gladly swear a life debt to you.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Baby!Art would be so happy if you made a Power Rangers vid! And by baby!Art, I mean of course 33 year old Art, because I still love Power Rangers to distraction. I would really, really love some kind of a Bulk and Skull (or Bulk/Skull!) vid, or something feauturing the villains (maybe a Rita/Zedd vid!). I do also love Our Heroes and would be very happy to see something with them.

Dear Yuletide Author,

I’m SweetPollyOliver on AO3 and this is my first year participating in Yuletide. Thank you so much for offering one/some of the fandoms I’ve requested; I adore them all and would be delighted with a fic for any of them. With the exception of my DNWs, if I suggest anything that doesn’t vibe with the story you want to write feel free to follow your muse rather than try to incorporate what I’ve suggested.

Likes
  • Polyamory
  • Fluff
  • Disability adjacent themes and/or non-angsty disability fic
  • Post-canon fic
  • Pregnancy or kid fic; equally, bittersweet fic where the characters can’t have children for whatever reason
  • Found family
  • Knitting or other forms of crafting (this is so optional, as is everything on this list, but I’d be ecstatic)
  • Getting together/first time/first kiss/etc. fic


DNWs
  • Character death, including canon character death
  • Non-con or dub-con
  • Darkfic
  • Central focus on period typical prejudice; don’t feel you have to be ahistorical or overly twee and ignore any and all Bad Things, but I’d rather that the fic focused on something other than oppression
  • Choking, humiliation, Daddy/Mommy kink, unnegotiated kink in general
  • Specific to Some Like It Hot: cis!Daphne
  • Specific to Gattaca: Eugene having full sensation during sex
  • Specific to The Tick: Christmas fic


Gattaca
So, as indicated in my DNWs I would like an AU where THE THING doesn’t happen at the end. I would love fic with Eugene and Irene bonding during Vincent’s mission, with initial prickliness on both sides and some jealousy. I also have a scene in my head where Vincent comes home to them decorating (a tree? General welcome home stuff?) and bickering good naturedly. In terms of shipping, I prefer Vincent/Eugene, or Irene/Vincent/Eugene, but gen is also more than fine. If you do go down the smut route (which I’m very open to!), I’m not very interested in fic where Eugene magically can have sex exactly like a non-disabled person would.

Some Like It Hot
My biggest ask here is that she/her pronouns be used for Daphne throughout. In terms of shipping, I like the canon ships and I like allusions to Daphne and Joe having had a thing in the past. For years I’ve been threatening to write a fic where Sugar very earnestly asks Daphne what she wants to be called, but maybe you can do it for me, lol. Otherwise, anything post-canon would be great. If you can think up any hijinks, all the better!

TAZ: Amnesty
My preference is for a Hollis/Keith fic of one kind or another, any point in canon, any rating. Post canon or pre-fighting the Quell would be amazing. Alternately, trans!Duck fic would be perfection.

The Tick
I would love Overkill/Dot and/or Tick/Arthur, but gen team fic is also great. For Overkill/Dot, it would be fantastic if Overkill was a virgin and kind of embarrassed about it and Dot gently shepherded him into the magical world of sex. Full disclosure, I kind of think most of the guys in The Tick are virgins, so inexperienced!Arthur and the Tick fumbling around would also be amazing. For Tick/Arthur, I prefer stories where the Tick is always naked as opposed to never naked, i.e. what you see is what you get in terms of equipment, so a certain amount of ingenuity in writing sex that’s a bit off the beaten track would be very appreciated.

Singin’ in the Rain
Cosmo/Don/Kathy fic would be amaaaazing. Something post-canon where they’re feeling out a new relationship would be lovely. Maybe Cosmo and Don had a thing and Cosmo assumed that if a serious relationship came along for Don that it’d be over and had kind of made his peace with that, only to discover he can have his cake and eat it too. Details about Old Hollywood are a big plus for this fandom.

Princess Bride
My kingdom for more Inigo/Fezzik fic tbh. Whether they were together all along or get together post canon, it’s all good. If you want to add a disability element (something relating to Inigo’s alcoholism? Maybe Fezzik has chronic pain?) to things it would be both Christmas and my birthday.
