Dear Yuletide Author 2016
Sep. 30th, 2016 04:38 amHello, Yuletide Writer, and thank you for looking at my letter! I've tried to ratchet back a little from last year's length but keep it engaging, so I hope you find something useful in the paragraphs (and paragraphs) below. I've included some quick summaries of my fandoms, some stuff about why I like them, and then blurbs on the characters I'm requesting, which segues into prompts, questions, and ideas. If you see a specific prompt you like, that's great! If you get inspired and come up with an idea of your own, that's also great! I'll look forward to reading whatever you end up with, short or long, because the bulk of these characters have little to nothing written about them, and anything more you come up with is going to thrill me.
For some non-fandom-specific guidelines, I really love little, lived-in details about how people connect with each other and adapt to one another, whether or not the relationship is romantic--all those little overlooked moments of intimacy in a close relationship of any kind. I like sibling stories, platonic lifemates, protector/protected relationships, battle couples and found families. I like small meetings fated to have large repercussions, and connections forged through shared experiences. I would far rather read about threesomes than love triangles, and I've never seen a canon with an OTEverybody option I didn't like.
I like the little details blown up to a larger scale as well--I love slice-of-life, worldbuilding and casefic, stories that have characters interacting with the world as much as they do each other. I enjoy stories that flesh out bits of the canon that we never saw. I also enjoy holiday-themed fic, particularly around this time of year, so if you have any thoughts in that vein, feel free to run with them. Any tense or POV is fine with me.
Provisos and Do Not Wants:
Darkfic: I've provided prompts below that could definitely go to some pretty dark places, which is fine, and I'd love to see what you come up with. Please don't write darkfic for characters I haven't requested it for, though, and nothing with an ending so dire it would render the canon impossible (deathfic, mutilation, etc).
Porn: Nothing explicit, please. Referenced non-con and dub-con are fine within the bounds of darkfic, as above.
AUs: I'd prefer no AUs this year
( All that out of the way, on to my fandoms! )
