Dear Yulegoat (or other ruminant), Firstly as you can tell I'm an awkward person who doesn't use his lj any more. Feel free to look at senji.livejournal.com if you want though :-). In general I'm big on interesting genfic. Plot preferred over 'ship, but I'm not averse to shipfic, or even a good PWP. Het, Slash, Femslash, Groupsex, BDSM, sex-with-aliens, sex-with-chthonic-entities, and horrible Polytangles all fine, but not required. OK, requests: C J Cherryh - Alliance-Union universe Anything with Signy Mallory in. We get some nice insights into her in Merchanter's Luck and Downbelow Station, and the odd comment here or there elsewhere, but I feel she's a main character who's only given a minor character's worth of screentime. I don't care how and what you do, but remedy this injustice. Charles Stross - Laundry series Laundry stories are all over the place in genre terms, so it might be interesting to try hitting yet a different genre and adding the Chthonic and British civil service overtones that make these stories good. Alternatively Laundry-style office-politics are always fun, or branch out and consider crossover with something thematically alongside like Yes Minister or The Leaky Establishment. Or the really insane person could pick up the idea I had on IRC last night and cross this one with the req below, and write the story of what Saunt Angleton really got up to in the Millennium Math... Neal Stephenson - Anathem I'm actually still reading this one for the first time (although I'll have finished it long before Christmas). Inside the Math interests me more than the Saecular Power, but a story set around an Apert, a Voco, or an Anathem could work very well. There's almost too many things to consider for me to want to stifle creativity with any suggestions, but if you're running low then I note that a story is referred to early on during discussion of CDS where the Ten-Millennial Math Aperted through a previously unopened door completely unexpectedly. That could be an interesting story to write. Fraggle Rock (tv) My wildcard request for the year. My experience with Fraggle Rock is nearing more on nostalgia than traditional fandom, but Red has been in some way iconic for me for some time now (and has been one of my more popular online avatars for almost a decade now). It's hard to say why I like Red, except that she's kind of very full of personality. I'm sorry not to be more helpful here, but anything that evokes Fraggle Rock and has Red in it would be well appreciated. Senji.
