merrimanIt's Highlander Holiday Shortcuts time!
So I looked back for my old letters when I was doing my signup, fully intending to put something "new" together this year anyhow, but then realized holy crap, the letters I've been pointing to are now over three years old. Definitely time to put a new one together. That said, the old ones have been migrated over to this journal so they should be there if you want to poke back at them.
Let's get to it:
Basics
What Do I Like?
I like lots of stuff! Specifically, I like Methos. I find him endlessly fascinating as a character, in many different situations. I also really like Amanda, because who doesn't love a charming troublemaker like her? I'm very fond of stories that address the oddness of being Immortal, how it changes how they see the world around them and move through it. I kind of have a thing for the older Immortals. There's got to be a ton of different ways they cope with the various changes they see, the things they've lived (and died) through over the centuries. I don't mind some melancholy in there, but I also do like things to get resolved by the end. Stories that end on an uncertain note tend to leave me feeling unsettled.
Crossover-specific Stuff
That's about all I can come up with right now. If I think of anything else I'll add it.
Thank you so much for writing for me!

Let's get to it:
Basics
- I'm very much not picky about rating. I would be perfectly happy with just about anything, so long as it suits the story, if that makes sense? I just don't want anyone to be trying to force a sex scene into a story just to have it there, but likewise I don't want to say don't go there if the story is heading in that direction for you. I'd prefer no PWP, but that doesn't mean no sex.
- As for pairings, I'm not big on Methos/Joe, but I'm absolutely fine with configuring Methos, Duncan, and/or Amanda however you want, if that's how you want to roll.
- I'm not entirely opposed to some crack!fic if you've got a good idea.
- I've got a few DNWs and squicks:
- Pregnancy/mpreg
- kidfic
- Unresolved angst (angst is cool - leaving it unresolved gets in my head.
- Dubcon/noncon/rape

Crossover-specific Stuff
- Star Trek: I am a long time Star Trek fan. Mostly TNG is my thing, but I also adore TOS. I specifically mentioned Picard, Data, and Q, because they're some of my favorite characters. I think they'd have some interesting reactions to Highlander type Immortals.
- The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Okay look, I love this movie. I love everything about it. And the Cavaliers certainly encounter plenty of Weird Shit, so I've always thought it would be fun to see them encountering Immortals. Or hey, what if Methos was hiding out among them in the 1980s? There's some good crack potential in here.
- Supernatural: Ever since I started watching this show, I've thought it was a natural fit for a Highlander crossover. Random lightning strikes without accompanying storms? Headless corpses? People who come back from the dead? Come on. The Winchesters would be all over that. Or you could do Immortal Charlie, right? Or Immortal any of the very many characters who've died. I'm open to a whole lot here.
That's about all I can come up with right now. If I think of anything else I'll add it.
