Dear Yuletide Author

Hello, dear Yulewriter!

Thank you for offering one of these fandoms! I can’t wait to read the story you come up with. If you already have an idea for one of these fandoms, go for it! However, if you'd like a prompt then I hope this post helps.

General likes:
I read across all ratings, genres, and pairing permutations (or lack thereof! gen is love as well). I have a gigantic pan-fandom love of urban fantasy and fairy tales; I don’t think there’s a fandom where I wouldn’t love a magic AU. But please don’t feel you need to write one! Canon fic, real-world AUs, slice-of-life: I love it all. I have a particular weakness for stories that hurt. I unabashedly love worms!fic ("go into the garden and eat worms"), where the POV character feels isolated and alone and unappreciated but eventually realizes that they're loved. I am a big fan of Belligerent Sexual Tension (warning! link goes to TV Tropes). I generally prefer happy or ambiguous endings to unhappy ones.

General dislikes:
I don't really care for gore in horror but suspense is A-OK. I would strongly prefer your story not contain rape/non-consent, major character death, infidelity, watersports, scat, or bloodplay. I also have a mild-to-moderate embarrassment squick, which can be best described by the motts.

Here's a bit more about my requests, in no particular order.

( Daniel Danger - Works )

( Hark! A Vagrant )

( Lament - Mount Moriah )

( Sunshine - Robin McKinley )

Thank you again for your story! As always, optional details are optional. I truly love all of these canons and the characters I nominated and can’t wait to see what you come up with, whether or not it’s based on one of my prompts.
