Rambling about yuletide

[alixtii]

Since everyone else is doing it (at least likeadeuce and penknife), I will too. There are two things which are almost certainly on the list:

X. The novels of Robert A. Heinlein (so I can request Lapuz Lazuli Long/Lorelai Lee Long twincest, probably, although there's plenty of other interesting pairings, as the multiverse is so rich).

X. The Parent Trap (1999), Hallie Parker/Annie James twincest. (And, hee!)

[ETA: The really sad thing is that, in my head, Laz and Lor are played by Lindsay Lohan.]

I don't really know how yuletide requests work. How specific a prompt does one provide? It couldn't be too specific, obviously, since just matching up fandoms is so much of a chore that they need to make computers do it. . . .

So, what else? (I'm assuming the fandom in my icon doesn't count as "rare," or else I'd try to get some more Rosalind/Celia. Which is definitely being put in my LJ interests, stat.)

X. The Truman Show, Truman/Sylvia.
X. My Summer of Love?
X. FHB? Previously years have had some really nice Little Princess and Secret Garden fics.
X. Shaw? I dunno, Violet/Anna or something? Or, I know--Eliza/Clara!
X. Stoppard? I need to reread Arcadia.
X. I really don't know!

ETA: And to keep a list of any new ideas which may occur to me:

X. Nineteen Eighty-Four, Julia-centric.
X. Cruel Intentions or American Beauty.
X. One of Charles Kaufman's movies (Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine)? No pairings are suggesting themselves to me, so probably gen?
X. Is Ender's rare? I'm always up for Peter/Valentine, or really Valentine/anybody.
X. Encyclopedia Brown, Leroy/Sally and/or Sally/OFC.

Oh, I'm not insulting the quality of the logic puzzles. It was the writing that was cracktastic, and usually endearingly so. (Sample plot: Mr. Boddy randomly decides he wants to be buried in a pyramid, and builds one on his front lawn. All of his treasure is inside. The guests, one by one, try to steal it, and are "killed" by the automatic defenses, which are all over the top in a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" sort of style. The narration only provides random details about the guests, so that one has to use logic to figure out who the last guest left--who of course "kills" dear old Reginald--is.)

Dang! Sounds like great fun to read now - and cracktastic is the only way to describe that.

You've encouraged me to jump Murder at The Watcher's Council up to the head of my reposts now. *grin*
