skygiants: Yoko from Twelve Kingdoms, sword drawn (sword in hand)
So I was not going to post a Dear Doer of Darkness letter, because I put tons of information into my sign-up already, but then I remembered how much I enjoy reading other people's Dear Author letters and decided to do it after all!

SO HEY KALEIDOSCOPE AUTHOR/ARTIST/VIDDER,

First of all: I pre-emptively love you! From this very moment, I love you! You are great! I am incredibly excited to see whatever it is that you are going to put in my eyes and/or ears.

That is the most important part; everything else I'm going to say is just guidelines or suggestions, basically. In general -- and I think these are all pretty relevant to all my requests - I love team-building, and found families, and women being friends, and romantic partners who respect each other, and character development, society-building, especially when it involves people being responsible about government and politics and the world they live in.

I am definitely not opposed to darkness and serious themes, but I also love people having senses of humor, which is something that plays out in all these canons too!

Capital Scandal )

Sungkyunkwan Scandal )

Dragon of the Lost Sea )

Twelve Kingdoms )

And . . . I think that's it! HAVE FUN, awesome doer of darkness. I am so excited to see what you come up with!

(And if you haven't signed up for Kaleidoscope yet, there are still two days left in which to do so. :D)

While we're all waiting for Yuletide assignments to come out, I want to take some time to gush about my Kaleidescope fic! The one thing I have been requesting from the world for years is Capital Scandal fic about Cha Song Joo being amazing, and the world has finally seen fit to provide it for me and it is all I could have dreamed:

Twentieth Century Blues

On nights like these, though, when the damp air sticks to the back of her throat and makes even the finest silk hanbok feel like a sodden rag against her skin, her fingers always ache with the memory of hours spent fumbling with numb, greasy hands, assembling and disassembling the weapons placed in front of her.

It's a gorgeous, quiet fic about how dangerous Cha Song Joo is and how tired she is and I love it to pieces, so mystery author, if you're reading this, so many hearts for you!

The other awesome thing about Kaleidoscope is that it's so small I can actually read through the archive in a single day (SO WEIRD) so while I'm here, have a few more recs! The usual procedure is to put the fandoms as the cut text, right? So: recs for Chak De! India, Red Cliff, Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Seirei no Moribito. )


I put my favorites here, but seriously everything I read in the archive haas been awesome, so I definitely encourage you to go check out the full list - there were loads of fandoms that I didn't know but YOU MAY, and if you've always secretly been longing to see them written it may well be your lucky day.

And now I am ready for Yuletide! BRING IT.
