if I could gather up the nerve; I've put my feelings into words

[angelgazing]

Quick! Before I chicken out!

If you drop a request in this post (fandom*, pairing/character, prompt of some sort, possible back-up fandom because I am made of fail) I can get started on Christmas gifts before the holiday fest rush hits us full force. You know there's not stepping out in that.

And as a bonus, it's so early you might just forget all about it by the time Christmas rolls around! Just don't go comparing me to a fat guy.

Oh, and tell me you top three favorite and least favorite things in fiction, please.

* Bandom; Being Human; Big Bang Theory; Castle; Dr. Horrible; Firefly; Glee; How I Met Your Mother; Merlin; Merlin RPF; Middleman; Ocean's 11; Psych; Reaper; Scrubs; Sports Night; Supernatural; Various Fairy Tales; Veronica Mars; White Collar... That's all I can think of right now. Though depending on what you come up with, I will do my best to give you what you want most.

if I ask for a fic, and you, against all odds, do not fail me, wouldn't that sort of be like me helping you beat me? That seems sort of stupid. Nonetheless,, I would like some Sam/Dean. I think we all know my only requirements are that there be hugging and making out, but if you insist on a prompt, then, um, Dean convincing Sam Christmas is still a big deal, even if god is MIA. With presents, and hugging, I imagine. Presents and hugs from Dean would convince me of pretty much anything. Though honestly, you don't have to use that. See above, for my requirements.

Alternatively, Merlin/Arthur, Arthur doesn't get drunk often, but when he does, it's always quite something.

You surely already know my top 3 things. pining, banter, and best friends. Oh! And saying I love you without saying it. Yes, indeed.

Bottom 3: abuse of the comma, any mention of golden orbs, and stupidity just to drag the plot out. Since you're writing, I'm not worried. You suck, don't get me wrong, but these are the few areas in which you do not.

wouldn't that sort of be like me helping you beat me?

Well, ok, yes. But in the interest of fairness, I was going to do that anyway, and this way you might actually get a story! About Merlin's eyes, turning into golden orbs, and, like, then Arthur knows! And they can't be friends anymore, even if Arthur doesn't try to have his head chopped off. So they are both emo and sad, and then someone tries to kill Arthur and Merlin saves him and they kiss and make up.

Dammit, I can't do the comma thing. It hurts me deep inside my soul.

MM/WW! preferably with Ida mocking them as MM lectures Dubbie on maintaining a professional demeanor after you've seen your boss naked and sweaty.

Or Sam/Dean:

We still groped for each other on the backstairs or in parked cars
as the road around us
grew glossy with ice and our breath softened the view through the glass
already laced with frost,
but more frequently I was finding myself sleepless, and he was running out of
lullabies.
But damn if there isn't anything sexier
than a slender boy with a handgun,
a fast car, a bottle of pills.

Or, Firefly: MAL! pre or post movie. So how about those black market beagles?

My top three favorite things are banter, stories that make me achy in the chestal area, and bffs-turned-lovers. Oh, and saying I love you without saying the words.

My least favorite things are OOC-ness - like, long flowery declarations of love from people who can barely express an emotion without stumbling over their tongue, any kind of description that breaks POV and doesn't sound like something anyone who wasn't a bloody awful poet would think, misogyny, epithets, magical healing cock... I could go on...

MM/WW!

AND that poem. Ugh. Seriously, next year for yuletide, I am nominating Crush. It may just be the two of us, but uugh my heart can't handle all my love for that.

Heh. You couldn't keep the things you dislike down to three. Sometimes, it's like we are the same person.

<3 <3 <3

bandom! (duh.)
brendon/shane/spencer! (double duh.)
...um, spencer turns into a cat when he realizes that brendon and shane are dating and neither one will ever, ever love him? and then it turns out that shane and brendon were fake boyfriends to make spencer wake the fuck up.

like:
fake boyfriends
oblivious friend!syndrome (either they like someone who doesn't get it or someone likes someone else and thinks it'll never happen, I'M NOT PICKY.)
animal transfigurations

don't like:
cutting
over-usage of 12 year-old bden characterizations
angsty unreconciled angst (or something)

I HAVE NO BACKUPS, MISSY. I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS, REGARDLESS. (actually, you can write anything to do with spencersmith and small fuzzy kittens, fyi. feel free to disregard previous prompt thing.)
