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.

The prompts can be pretty specific, but all the writer needs to adhere to is the fandom (and sometimes pairing), any other more specific details are optional.

Is it a bad thing that I immediately thought of Ms Scarlet/Mr Green from Clue when trying to think up obscure things?

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

there have definitely been Shakespeare requests and stories at previous Yuletides. I guess it's rare enough on LJ.

Assuming they keep the same definitions as last year, a "rare" fandom is defined as fewer than 500 fanfiction stories available on the internet.
