Dear Yuletide Santa/Goat

[beckymonster]

Dear Awesome Person

You are AWESOME. You are writing little ol' me a story about one of the films/dance production I love and adore more than chocolate. Ergo - awesome!

Please feel free to have a nosey around my journal to get a feel for me and my tastes inanities. I love and adore films - which will explain why all my requests are movies. I hope that you love these films too or if you're pinch hitting (*thank you*) then you'll grow to love the film you're writing about as much as I do.

This is my first time on the Yuletide Express, so please bear with my n00bish behaviours!

You'll find the tags of some use - the general 'movies' tag should be of some use. With regards to Swan Lake, my review of the 'current' production can be found here

If that's too 'general' then let me elucidate for you... *ahem*

I like a lot of things but there are a few hard and fast things I Do Not Like. They are:
Character death, kink, humiliation, partner betrayal, character bashing (especially women characters) porn minus plot, dark themes.
Fluffy monster is so *fluffy* you're gonna die (Despicable Me quote ftw!)

Okay - so, things I *do* like:
Plot, character-led stories, friendships, alternative realities where one thing changes (aka Sliding Doors 'verses), hugs/cuddling, women characters being awesome and competent, teams equaling 'chosen' families, happy(ish) endings, conversations/banter, films, kisses, laughter, humour, science, teamwork, adventures, slice of life stories, bromances, dancing, joy, life...

If you want to go down the sexyteims route (and given that at least three of my fandoms have some of the most beautiful people on the planet - knock yourself out!) - sensuality is key as is emotional engagement and consent among adults too.

I hope that makes some kind of sense - if not, ask the mods (or a hippo!) to ask me for more intel.

So - the fandoms:



MOON Moon @ IMDB
I'd love to hear the story about the Sam Bell who went to Earth at the end of the film - if you listen very carefully to the dialogue as his 'pod' flies to Earth, you get a sense of what happens next.

What does he do in the three years he has? Does he get to go to Hawaii as he tells the other clone? Does he get to meet the original Sam Bell? Does he get to meet the grown up Evie? Does he get to make memories of his own? Just chucking this out as a helpful aside - the correlation with Bladerunner (the replicant lifespan is a similar length) is uncanny.


ROCKNROLLA RocknRolla @ IMDB
aka - 'Chris Nolan and Inception have a *lot* to answer for!'

Although Tom Hardy 'pinged' my radar in '05 in a production called The Virgin Queen, it took Mr Nolan's little film nomming my braaain to sit up and take note. And get around to watching Star Trek: Nemesis too!

So, yes, 'The Further Adventures of The Wild Bunch' please. Handsome Bob front and centre would be *awesome*. Especially if there is dancing involved (because that scene where the audience find out what he did on his 'supposed' last night of freedom made me make *dolphin noises* when I first watched it!).
Or
A slice of life with Handsome Bob and Mumbles (who, lets be honest is a diamond geezer) sitting in the Speeler just shooting the breeze (discussing One Two's utter ignorance of what everyone else knew possibly?) and possibly One Two catching the clue bus would also be a thing of awesome.


SUNSHINE (2007) Sunshine (2007) @ IMDB
aka - the sci-fi movie that is so damn sexy even the Science Advisor is considered to be quite the pin up here in the UK.

Before I get onto the suggestions proper - video of Danny Boyle (Sunshine's director) and Professor Brian Cox (Sunshine's science advisor) talking about making the movie and working with the cast. Well worth a watch if you like the movie - and some day someONE will write RPF about the long drunken night Prof Cox had with Cillian Murphy discussing the final scene where it looks like Capa having the mother of all orgasms!... what?!

Ahem

So - story suggestions - I know I asked for Cassie, Corazon and Capa but feel free to bring the rest of the Icarus II crew in too. In fact that would be awesome! I'd love to see the crew acting as a team/chosen family (remember the dinner scene near the start of the film?).

Or - how do they deal with things like touch hunger and being a long way from home.

Or give me a what if - what if they hadn't found the Icarus I - completed their mission and returned home. They've saved the solar system - now what? How do they adjust to real life and to the fact that they're heroes?

I adore Capa (is now a good time to admit that I have a crush the size of a small moon on Cillian Murphy?) and would love to see him play a considerable role. Also - I'd lovelovelove to see Corazon and Cassie being awesome and good friends as well as having a Bechdel Test passing conversation.

SWAN LAKE (BOURNE) Swan Lake @ New Adventures website

And now for something completely different! Or not - as it was the film Billy Elliot that made me seek the company out... (ten years ago next month - frak me!) and I never looked back;)

So yes, half naked men running around in make up and ripped silk trousers - what's not to love?;) And did I mention then canon slash? A good ten years before Jack and Ianto, there was the Prince and his Swan.... which leads me to my requests...

What draws the Swan to the Prince? We can see what it is that draws the Prince to the Swan in the production - but what about vice versa?

Or failing that - what about a missing scene between the Prince and the Swan - what went on between them as the other Swans are dancing? I'd rather have sensuality than 'insert tab a into slot b' but that's just me. Write what the music and the story tell you to.



And that is that.

Obviously - these are just suggestions - if you, awesome writer, have a bunny that’s currently feasting on your ankle that you want to write then... fire up the word processor, draw yourself a beverage and WRITE! I’m sure I’m going to like it!

So - to conclude - have fun and I hope the fic you recieve is as awesome as you are!
