Wish List 2010 (Yeah, it's that time again)

( From the annual LJ Christmas meme, the Wish List )

***


1. I'd really love a vid set to Blue Oyster Cult's "Veteran of the Psychic Wars", featuring Sam Winchester. Really, it's the perfect song for him, especially these days! In particular, I'd like to see the "Mystery Spot" robo!Sam, hunting, off-the-reservation Sam in "I Know What You Did Last Summer", Sam detoxing in "When the Levee Breaks", and there's a line about "sliding into Hell" that's right out of "Swan Song". Everything from brooding-with-visions!Sam to soul-free!Sam…. I'm not usually a Sam!girl, but this song just nails Sam!angst for me.

2. A bar of Lush shampoo: Ultimate shine would be nice, or maybe some of The Blonde.

3. Cubis 2, the full-scale extended version, because I can pretty much do the tester in my sleep.

4. Zuma 2, because I’ve cracked Zuma 1, up to and including Space.

5. The perfect wide-leg, dark wash jeans…size? IDK, 28/30, I’d have to try them on….

6. It's that time of year. My LJ subscription is fixing to lapse, and I wish some nice person would renew it for me. And if they wanted to renew my icons and maybe upgrade me to the mega-mondo-super-duper icon package, that would be really awesome, too. You can never have too many icons!

7. A box of Russell Stover’s Molasses Chews, or maybe some Kookaburra Australian Black Licorice.

8. A new(er) refrigerator. (I know, I know--it’s pie-in-the-sky. But maybe The Universe is listening.)

9. I can think of so many things…that’s the thing about being unemployed and on an *extremely* fixed income---there’s no shortage of shortages! Because I’m trying to scale back on “stuff”, I tried to request things that either wouldn’t take up space, are consumable, or would be used daily. That said, surprises that fall into any of those three categories are wonderful!

10. However, there is one none-of-the-above thing I REALLY want: The Season One DVDs for “Justified”. Which aren’t actually coming out til January 25th. Sure would make for a Happy New Year, though!

3. Cubis 2, the full-scale extended version, because I can pretty much do the tester in my sleep. Heartfelt thanks to karaokegal!

4. Zuma 2, because I’ve cracked Zuma 1, up to and including Space.

Yuletide 2010 -- Letter to Santa-Author

Hello, and Season's Greetings, O Yuletide Author!

Welcome to the letter where I babble about my four chosen fandoms and reassure you that your labors will be appreciated.

First of all, Secondhand Lions. Forgive my typo in the AO3 request --- I have *NO* problem at all with "as told to Walter"! Although to be perfectly honest, what I really want are the travels of Young Hub, because Christian Kane swordfighting in tight pants?! If you produce something in this vein, I will spend Christmas morning swooning with delight. (I like Garth, too, but I'm honest about shallow I am.) I've wondered how they got all that gold back to Texas from Sheikistan. (I'm pretty sure they never actually named the kingdom.) Maybe there were pirates? There's a forty-year gap between the post-WWI era and Walter's boyhood reminiscences---that's plenty of room for adventures.

"The Flight of the Doves" by Walter Macken, is one of my favorite childhood books. (It was made into a VERY bad musical in the '70s--- PLEASE ignore that.) I'm curious about Finn and Derval's new life in Ireland. After the hoohah settles down, what happens? How do they get along with the local kids? Looking back years later, how much does Derval remember? Do they ever meet up with Moses again? (I loved Moses, even though his dad Powder was a jerk.) Maybe the tinkers camp on Granny's land? Does the money change their lives? Anything true to the tone of the book would be lovely.

I am an obsessive What Not to Wear junkie. An actual plot beyond the format of the show would be fabulous. I see Stacy and Clinton as Nick and Nora Charles-types (The Thin Man movie series, if you're unfamiliar with the reference). They've got the banter down to an art, why not solve a crime or two on the side? Something glamorous with high fashion and paparazzi? (Or, I'll volunteer to be the fashion victim---okay, so *some* of my skirts are a bit too long. And a few of my pants might be a little on the short side. And I don't own a single pair of pointy-toed shoes. So what? My hats are fabulous! There are plenty of pix in my LJ for reference, if you go that route. I've even got a "clothes" tag.)

Finally, "Justified" --- I would LOVE something inspired by this picture:

I want some jailhouse cock, namely, Prison!Boyd making somebody his bitch. Bonus points if there's a shower scene. Not necessarily non-con---Boyd's powers of persuasion are awesome---and it doesn't have to be blood-curdlingly explicit, either. (You may have noticed, this is my only request for anything adult.) If that squicks you, Boyd fast-talking will do, EXCEPT for the white supremacist schtick---him preachifying is fine, as long as he's clearly got an agenda of his own.

The ideas I've suggested are just to spark your creativity in case you're experiencing that sensation of "OMG, what have I gotten myself into?!", which I'm probably going through myself right about now. Really, you loved one (or more!) of these fandoms enough to offer it, so we've already got that in common.

On the whole, I like happy endings, not tragedies, action movies with car chases, explosions, fight scenes, and repartee. I cry at Hallmark commercials, and I tend to respect canon and characters being in character.

Happy writing, and have a Cool Yule!
