person4Dear Santa,
First of all, thank you so much for writing for me! I hope that whichever request got you matched with me is one that you're really excited about writing, but just in case I asked for a pairing that makes you go "Wait, what?" rest assured that I love gen just as much as I love het and slash, so I won't be at all disappointed with totally platonic interaction.
In general I prefer happiness (or at least ending on an up-note) over angst, a sprinkling of humor unless your inspiration strikes in a way that doesn't lend itself to it, and if you want to have sex in it I'd be happier if it's fairly vanilla since I have to be in the right mood to want to read something kinky and who knows if I'll be in it on Christmas day or not. But I'm pretty close to unsquickable (aside from things like scat- or vomit-play) so you don't need to worry about offending me if you do feel yourself drawn to write kink. I also like little slice-of-life scenes; in fact, most of own writing could be described that way.
Onto specifics!
Toki Wo Kakeru Shoujo
I'm kind of OT3ish about the three main characters, but, like I said in the sign-up, I like them in any combination. If you write better with specific prompts (and you can completely ignore any of these if you aren't a writer who likes working from prompts) some things that come to mind are that at the end of the movie Chiaki says that Makoto and Kousuke are the reason he stays around but we never really see him and Kousuke interact on their own so it would be nice to see that, or "unseen" time leaps where Makoto actually tries out dating one or both of them to see what it's like secure in the knowledge that she can just jump back and undo it if things went wrong, or something after the final jump about whether Kousuke starts dating that girl I can't remember the name of that Makoto kept trying to hook him up with or if he stays with Makoto all the time again for the same basic reason he gave in the time branch where Yuri got hit by the fire extinguisher (gosh, it's hard writing this without spoiling anything in case you haven't seen the movie and want to :-)).
If whatever match you got with me is something you'd rather not write and you want more options, you can find the movie online here on Crunchyroll. You need to register to watch it, but it's free and they've never sent me spam or anything.
Flash (comics)
Like I said, I've been shipping Trickster and Piper for a long time but I never would have considered asking for it before this year when it suddenly became a lot less cracky. If you're going for gen (or even for slash) stupid Roguey hijinks are a wonderful thing (if you want to have them caught by a Flash-hero, Bart back when he was Impulse is my favorite but I know there are some timeline issues to work around with that. Tied for second are Wally and Max). Heroic hijinks from when they were reformed would also be great! And there current never-ending streak of bad luck is the one part of Countdown I'm enjoying, so if you'd like to play off of that it would also be great. And if you could somehow write a humor fic about the way Piper's clothes change in every single issue of Countdown, even when only seconds have passed between the end of one issue and the beginning of the next, I'll love you forever.
Since they're fairly minor characters in a comic that's been running for decades it's a lot harder to pimp than a movie is, but you can find scans of a good hunk of all their recent scenes together here (I could have sworn that there was a second part by somebody else somewhere on the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
piper_trickster community, but it looks like I was either imagining it or it's been flocked), a bibliography for Piper with links to lots of scans here, one for Trickster here, you can find a five-part retrospective about them with tons of scans here (just scroll past the first post), and you can always trawl the Piper and Trickster tags on scans_daily though there'll be a lot of overlap for the past few months.
Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga
Out of the four fandoms I requested this is the one where I'd be the most fine with something angsty, since the series lends itself well to it. I really like stories that focus on the weirdness of dealing with developing emotions that they don't know a thing about. Or something about how odd it is that they run into five thousand people who's Atma turn them into Isoras or Pixies or whatever, but their own appear to be unique. Or something about Gale's boot-knife, which, okay, you probably wouldn't be able to stretch to cover a thousand words on its own but I find it weirdly hot.
Since they're PS2 games I'm afraid I can't pimp it here, but you can always look for cutscenes on Youtube if you want.
Phoenix Wright
I think I pretty much said everything I wanted to for this on in the request. Let's see... if you could have Phoenix working on a case that'd be great, but it's not a big deal since I know not everybody (including myself) is good at coming up with a mystery plot.
DS games are emulatable, but they require tricks I don't know to make them work right so I can't pimp this one either.
If you'd like to check out my writing to try working out what I'd like to see from it, my ff.n account is here and there's a couple of extra tiny things if you go in my memories and skim through the Fic-A-Day sections.
Thank you again, Santa! And sorry for the TL;DRness of this letter! *g*
