Jeamland - Dear Yuletide Writer

Hello there! I hope you saw my list of prompts and fandoms and were inspired, not terrified. :-)

First of all, I want to say thankyou very much, and I look forward to reading whatever you produce. All the essential stuff is in my original signup, and nothing here is mandatory; I'm just glad you share a fandom or two with me. If you are looking for more information on what I might like, though:

* I'm not really into slash-for-slash's-sake. I don't mind slash if the pairing is logical or inevitable, but I'm not a believer in the fandom trope that boys only sex up other boys, and I'm generally just as happy to see het or gen as I am slash. I'm interested in the characters, not a default assumption of slash, and there are some stories that just work best as het, you know? :)

* I'm not into really miserable angst or grinding despair - if it's going to be dark, give me some leavening touches of humour or hope, please! That said, I don't require all sweetness-and-light la la happy fun times fic either - I'm an adult, and adult conflicts and dilemmas are interesting. :)

* I have a huge embarrassment/humiliation squick. It makes me sad in my pants.

* I'm not a huge fan of some of the less-mainstream fandom tropes: mpreg, wingfic, furries, et cetera, et cetera.

* That said, I'm a big fan of AUs. :)

I can't think of anything else, so on with the fandoms!

The Blues Brothers
I know I said so in the prompt, but I'll repeat it here: pleeeeease don't give me Jake/Elwood incest. Other than that, I just love the world of the Blues Brothers, where everyone breaks into song and then looks vaguely sheepish about it afterwards. I'd love more backstory on Jake or Elwood or anyone in the band; I'd love post-movie fic; I'd love more about Jake and Camille, or Elwood and his ladies. It's all good. :)

Constantine
How is it fair that this is a 'small fandom'? Sheesh. :)
I'm not a fan of Chas, nor Balthazar; everyone else is deliciously awesome, John most of all. The setting is fascinating, so I'm happy with plotty occulty gen, or the other characters are good, too. There are so many stories there.

The Fifth Element
This is one of my favourite movies of all time, and to be honest I'd be happy with anything here. What did Leeloo do before the Mondoshawans crashed and she woke up in the reactor? What did Leeloo and Korben do afterwards? What else has Korben done in his rather full, exciting-sounding life? :) Het, gen, slash; I'm happy with anything, I just want to see more of this magical world. :)

Julian May - the Saga of the Exiles/the Galactic Milieu
If you chose this prompt, you don't need me to tell you what's awesome about it. I especially love Rogi, Aiken, Marc (oh, Marc), Jon, Denis, Mercy-Rosmar, Felice, Culleket... it's all good. I'd love to see more of Tanu society (although they're the only exotics I'm really interested in); more about the Milieu or the Rebellion or that tense, frightening pre-Milieu time of Intervention. I'm really not into Remillard incest slash (no Marc/Jon ta very much! :)) but other than that, there are so many complex and awesome characters here to play with.

I'm so excited! I can't wait for Christmas. :)
