Looks like things are gearing up over at yuletide. I am determined to sign up this year, especially as I've been lousy about writing new fic lately.

To judge from the 'brainstorming' post, there will be a lot of fandoms I can offer to write. Oddly, the ones I want to request are all books.

I really, really want to request fic for Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series. I just finished the third book and I just love Kate's world. I like the lead character, but she also has a great supporting cast. Most of all I love the way vampires "work" in that 'verse :-)

Others coming to mind right now: Kristine Kathryn Rusch - I love all her original fiction (that I've read) but I'd especially like to see fic for The Fey or the Retrieval Artist series. The Fey is darker than dark - why I love it - and RA is almost like a TV show - not a specific one, I just mean it's structured like that. Makes it easy to read.

Storm Constantine - I'd offer to write Wraeththu but I'd really like to request Burying the Shadow. Again, a very original treatment of vampires...but it's also choc-full of my own kinks.

And the obvious - Guy Gavriel Kay and Anne Bishop's Black Jewels. GGK I'd request Lions of Al Rassan but could write anything. AB...I need to figure out what kind of thing I'd request.

There's a bunch of stuff I could probably offer but am not interested in requesting - any movie on my shelves, a whole lotta books, a bunch of obscure TV shows. We'll see.

Should be fun, anyhow :)

Anyone else signing up this year?
