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. DUDE.

The Mad Scientist's Club of Mammoth Falls

I *so* wish I still had my copies, but they fell apart years ago. These things are the most endearing geeky testosterone romps you can imagine. I don't remember the equivalent of a Sally, for better or worse.

But, way cooler than Encyclopedia. For all his smarts, he's all theoretical, by-the-book-learnin'. The Mad Scientists were about practical, down-and-dirty, get your hands dirty and shit blows up in your face and come out on top, filthy and grinning.

(And on that note, don't even get me started on Alvin Fernald, SUPERWEASEL.)

Dude, yer draggin' my pre-pervy childhood out onto the slashing knives of LJ.

Knock it off!

Fernald... I'm sure I read them. And Encyclopedia Brown's girl sidekick was proto-Faith.

I think was attracted to Leroy's theoreticality. Still am, really.
