Dear Yuletide Author 2019
Nov. 2nd, 2019 03:42 pmThank you for signing up to write a story for me! I'm always very excited at this time of year, because I love gift-giving and receiving, so I'm sure I'll enjoy what you do because we share a fandom in common.
General stuff about me
I'm open to a lot of stuff: angst with a happy ending, romance, humor, ships (slash or het), gen, character studies, long plotty stuff (I love plotty stuff and fic with world-building or that goes in depth), fluff, or drama. I love first times and falling in love, friendships, relationships between people who are equals. Friends to lovers might be my ultimate trope, and found families is right up there too. What I love about my fandoms is the canon universe they inhabit, so I'm not really into mundane AUs, however what-if AUs (canon-divergence) can be really cool--I love it when someone comes up with a story off of one element being changed!
But there's definitely some things I don't want, which I mentioned in my optional details and will explain further here. I would really appreciate not having BDSM/anything particularly sex kink-oriented, non-con of any type, emotional abuse, ABO and that sort of thing (usually, if there are initials for it, it's a safe bet I'm not into it), any kind of animal harm. A new thing I've learned I really dislike is jealousy, and related to that, love triangles. I've battled grief and depression for a while and dealt with cancer recently, so something that might make me more depressed or fic about illnesses or death would not be my first choice, but if that's the direction your story goes, I'm also not the kind of person who'd freak out about it.
Some tropes and approaches I enjoy (thanks to dorinda for letting me steal her terminology) are hopeful endings even if it's not necessarily a happy-ever-after, words that camouflage deeper/unspoken meanings and hidden feelings, protectiveness (without posessiveness), extreme competence (with honest weakness), hurt/comfort, partners against the world, nurturing via food/drink/warmth. I also love many of the classics: extreme competence kink, having to share a bed, huddling for warmth and/or stranded somewhere, pretend couple, situations where one suffers or sacrifices for the other, rescues, everybody lives!, etc. Genre can be fun: someone finds they have superpowers, or is trapped in a time loop, things like that. If you can write time travel of some sort, I'll be giddy.
The fandoms I've requested
( The Red Sea Diving Resort )
( The Terror )
( Kings )
