I don't want to put any crimps in your style, so first of all, none of these suggestions are meant to be rules or guidelines - just information in case you wanted a prompt. Feel free to disregard them - I want you to be able to write what you want to write! I do not especially prefer explicit or inexplicit stories, or resolved romantic tension to unresolved tension, and in fact in any pairing I am fine with smarm or friendship if you run into a snag with the pairing.

But that said, here are some notes on the various requests.

1. Anthropomorfic, Ubuntu/Gnome

There's not really much to say here. I was reading Ubuntu blogs before the release of Natty and got curious about what the hell happened and why the split so I just Googled "Ubuntu/Gnome" and read a random smattering of a few results. And that's when this idea was born. I have been wanting them to have hatesex or makeup sex or divorce proceedings or something ever since.

2. Georgette Heyer's The Unknown Ajax, Richmond/Vincent

The quote which encapsulates the canon basis for my shipping preference is to be found in this entry.

3. Discworld, Ponder/Ridcully

3 of the top 4 posts in my discworld tag are about this pairing. Two of those contain recaps and quotes of every passage in canon where they interact, which, hey, could potentially prove useful to you I guess?

4. Temeraire. Nothing to add here, which is not to say that I wouldn't love to read it!
