Dear Yuletide Santa

So you're the poor person who got my Yuletide request? Never fear, I have a few pointers to help you along.


In general, my squicks are extreme BDSM and humiliation. I like gen, slash, het, fluff, angst, adventure, weird things and just about everything else - as long as it's in character, I'm happy.

Dracula - I'm a fan of the historical character as well as the book, so you can judge me familiar with his period if references are made. I adore the first section of Stoker's novel, especially Jonathan's "dream" with the Count showing up to drive off the female vampires. Note: I've repressed what I've seen of the Coppola movie, so if you use elements from that which aren't in the book, I'd prefer explanations.

Elisabeth (musical) - I've been a fan for less than six months, but I've managed to see or hear just about every cast except the Finnish one, and since the interpretations are so different, I'd appreciate a note as to who you're basing your story on. You can look at my Elisabeth fic, especially Closer to the Veil to see what I appreciate about the characters ;) I'd prefer no graphic incest, though veiled references like in Closer are fine if it fits your story.

Tanz der Vampire - If you write this, I'll love you to bits, since so far I've only seen my own and [livejournal.com profile] fyrie's stories in English. Feel free to indicate the cast you base the story on - I'm familiar both with the Austrian/German staging and the Polish version. My only request, but a major one, is no incest. I just can't see it with von Krolock and his son.

The Fearless Vampire Killers - Oh hell, just go crazy :P If you can fit in an appearance from Iain Quarrier's lovely version of Herbert, I'll love you to bits.

And if you want more information, asking my friends might be a good tactic ;) As might be looking at my own stories, because I tend to write the kind of thing I like.

Oh, dear, maybe I must make one of these too. I really don't want anyone putting Coppola's Dracula into my Dracula request, and you only just reminded me of the possibility. *sighs*
