Now about me.

I signed up for Yuletide this morning. Three hours it took me, partly because I listed characters for all but like two of the fandoms I offered to write, and I offered a huge number of fandoms. And of the course the characters I offered to write probably aren't the ones most likely to be requested.

I mean, I want to stretch myself to write more male characters and more m/m, to challenge myself, but I don't think Yuletide is the best place to do it.

No one nominated A Little Princess this year? What is up with that? That was the most-offered fandom last year (although I believe it pulled in very few requests?), wasn't it?

Anyway, I went ahead and requested Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? (Carmen/Player), The Parent Trap (Annie/Hallie), and Robert A. Heinlein's multiverse (Laz/Lor). (I was the one who came up with "World-as-Myth multiverse" last year as a name to label the threads I wanted, and l'm glad that people apparently understand what that means as people are offering to write it.) Which means that while last year 3/4 of my requests involved sibcest, this year it's down to 2/3 (as I didn't ask for Peter/Valentine on account of receiving it last year; other than that my requests are about the same), both being twincest of the f/f variety. Which means, since I asked for a female Player in my first request, that all three of my requests this year are femslash.

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Did you ask for them to be particularly smutty?

I'm not really interested in smut as such with these pairings; I'm interested in the strength of their emotional bond, with the 'cest being seen as an intensification of that. Even the 'cest itself is optional, of course, and I take pains to make that clear. The most important thing is to show how the twins are the most important things in each other worlds. Last year I had a perfectly wonderful gen Peter & Valentine Wiggin story written for me and I love it to pieces.

Of course, incest is canon in Heinlein.
