Gift Fic Requests- 2006

tarotgalYep, it's time! I've only got a few hundred words left to write for NaNoWriMo and what's a better day to start taking requests than Thanksgiving?
Here's the way it's going to work this year... which is similar to last year and the year before: I made a list of about ten people I'm absolutely writing something for. They're ones who have been good friends, who leave me comments/fb, and who gave me birthday/holiday presents, etc. They get priority, naturally, but beyond that I'll do my very best to fill all requests that I get. If that number gets way out of hand I'll let you know that they'll either be very late or I'll cut it off requests. (I think I had 25 last year, and as you recal, I finished 3 of them six months late)
I am, again, shooting for 3-5 pages for each story, but it really depends on my muses and time constraints in that respect. I promise to do my very best. And I'll keep you all aprised of my progress.
Reply to this post with the answers to the following questions if you want a gift fic. The more information you give, the easier it will be for me to write. Here's what I need you to give me:
1. Your username (This should be the easy part)
2. Which winter holiday(s) you celebrate (so I know when to try and have it done. If you don't specify one, I'll plan to post it on New Year's)
3. Fandom (ONLY original characters or fandoms I'm familiar with, please. And I'd prefer not to write Real Person fics)
4. Pairing(s) if any (I'm pretty much open to ANY pairings here, even ones I don't ship- het, slash, and femslash are all acceptable though you know I prefer writing slash)
5. Character(s) you want to see sneezing if any and if you have a preference (just so there's no confusion when I go to write the fic. The fic doesn't have to involve sneezing, but obviously it can if you'd like)
6. Rating or range of ratings (and/or specific stopping points. ex: kissing but no sex... or sex but nothing graphic... etc.)
7. Plot, situations, kinks, elements, sneezing/no sneezing, colds/allergies/other, etc. (My list of squicks is getting shorter and shorter by the day, so there's VERY little I won't agree to write at this point. Feel free to specify as much as you like here because the more you include, the easier it is for me to write!)
Additional things: Only one request per person (so make it a good one). If I honestly don't think I can write your request for some reason, I reserve the right to tell you this and ask you to pick another. And, again, the more details you specify, the easier it is for me to write, so think about your request before you submit it. (I'm not saying you have to go into great detail, but if you want something specific, feel free to ask for it!) Fics don't have to take place during holidays, but can if that's what you'd like.
PS- I'm working on a list of things I'd like. I don't require any gift in exchange for anything I write/give. This is my personal way of giving back and making people on my flist happy, because you all deserve to be happy! But some people asked last year about what I'd like as a gift as well, so I'll put together a short post like I did last year with things I'd like. But there's absolutely no strings attached when requesting a giftfic from me. Even if you're a lurker, everyone should have a happy holiday. So don't hesitate to ask... just know it might take me a little longer to write.
