Dear Yuletide Writer!

pikkugenI've been Very Good this year, and here's my wish list!
Dinner For One:
My long-time favorite thing to watch on the New Year's Eve, with all its comedic turns and the characters who manage to convey a full party all by themselves. I'd love to meet the four guests as they were when Sophie knew them. How faithful is James's portrayal of them? Was any of them her lover before, well, James took their place? Who died first, and whose idea was it that James should pick his glass and perform the full toasting? I'd love to see them in their late middling years or older, when they have known each other for decades and have no use for the decorum of the society (except for the table manners, obviously.) And why was it that Sophie never married anyone? (Also why does James always knock the tiger pelt, is it an old one or perhaps a new acquisition?)
The Lair of the White Worm:
I saw this earlier this year and laughed myself silly. Sure, it's a Grave And Perilous Tale of a Terrible White Worm terrorizing a poor village, but the characters are hilariously 80's. So what happened to poor Angus after he was bitten, did he turn into a worm or perhaps a priest without a god creature to worship? (Did he begin a cult of Bagpipes? I ship him and the bagpipes.) How did Sylvia begin her career as the Snake Priestess? Did James and Eve have to confront their old friend again? Any shenanigans welcome, especially if the bagpipes are included.
Jeeves:
Someone trying to marry off old Bertie again? He has another hideous sartorial item that Jeeves hates? Is there a sudden invasion of flesh-eating flowers in Madeline's greenhouses, or an attack of zombie horses in Honoria's stables? Or perhaps Jeeves has Had It at last and leaves poor Bertie in a pickle... only to regret and return in time to save his skin from the fighting ladies? I ship Jeeves and Wooster and would love to see something happen, but if you don't it's not necessary. I love Wodehouse's style, so any attempt thereof is greatly appreciated.
Generally anything funny, fluffy, witty, scary, whatever you like to write, just don't use overt violence, A/B/O dynamics, or over-the-top bullying/torture, and we're fine. Have fun, it always shows in the writing. On this blog there should be some old Yuletide letters if you want to check, I tend to wish same kinds of things Every Year. Thank you!
