White Lotus requests are out!
Dec. 2nd, 2011 07:25 pmI checked my phone after court this morning, and I had two emails: one LOVELY AND MAGNIFICENT FIC about Zuko and Azula that ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
terajk wrote FOR ME! And my White Lotus assignment. I have to admit that I spent a couple of hours going, "I have to write what now?" but now I think I have an idea, so that's all right.
Anyway, I noticed a couple of people writing to their White Lotus recipient, and I'm ... well, I had dumplings for lunch, and then I bought more dumplings for dinner, but between the city and home I started feeling dizzy, so I'm just trying to settle before I inflict more gyoza on my body. What the hey.
Dear White Lotus creator,
(I thought that since Yuletide has goats, White Lotus could have turtleducks, but then I felt a bit silly. So I put "writer", but then I thought, what if I've been assigned to someone who is primarily an artist or a vidder? I have a headache.)
I can't actually remember quite what my requests were, so bear with me here. I think I asked for Toph/Azula, Ursa/Piandao, and probably something involving Mai. Or I may have rambled aimlessly. Something about Zuko and Azula being international jewel thief ninjas comes to mind? (The jewel thief bit is optional! But Azula totally needs to become the new Blue Spirit, y/y?)
Anyway, I like lady characters, the Fire Nation, parents and kids, sibling relationships, banter, adventures and romance. I don't like stories where Azula has been sent to prison instead of receiving any kind of mental health care, or where she's irredeemably evil. I don't enjoy rape or non-con.
Ship-wise, here is a handy breakdown of why I like Azula/Toph.
I don't think I've ever written about why I like Ursa/Piandao, but it basically comes down to the fact that I like second chances and mature love stories, and Piandao seems like a good fit for Ursa -- from the same culture, but something of an outsider, badass but honourable, an artist and philosopher as well as a warrior. Also, handsome. LEGITIMATE REASON IS LEGITIMATE.
So, uh, yes. Go forth and ... do stuff. I think I'm on the verge of being hungry again.
