Dear Yuletide Author:

[rivkat]

First, thanks so much! I’m pretty catholic in my tastes, and I really appreciate finding stories in a rare fandom. As indicated by my fairly vague prompts, I focus most on character. I love plot, but I also love angst and hijinks. Other things I like: flawed heroes, the Gift of the Magi, getting the thing that you want the most except that it’s broken, banter, love strong enough to rock the world, trust, betrayal, power games, bodyswap, genderswap, sex pollen, consequences, telling the truth in a way that the hearer doesn’t believe it, characters who think they’re lying but aren’t, shaggy dog stories, love and blood and rhetoric, and so on. I do not mind unhappy endings; I love melodrama and characters who defy melodrama.  Pretty much the only thing I don’t like: bashing female characters.

Mildred Ames - Anna to the Infinite Power

As I said, more than anything I want Anna/Rowan, but I’ll be happy with anything that has Anna struggling to become herself, or achieving herself. Angst and schmoop both welcomed.

Chuck

I listed Chuck, Ellie, Casey and Sarah because they’re the ones who really grab me, each in their different ways. A Sarah/Chuck/Casey adventure would be great (with or without sex, though heaven knows I wouldn’t mind the sex), or an “Ellie finds out” story played any way you want, from angsty to hilarious.

The Middleman (tv)

I’m here for the snappy dialogue and loopy plots. Go nuts! But if you want to do a different tone than the show, that’s also awesome; I’d just ask for the snappy banter to remain.

I am not familiar with the term "catholic in taste", what does it mean?
