Yuletide Letter
Dear Yuletide Writer,
First and most importantly, I want to take the time to say Thank You. Thank you for signing up to participate in this year's yuletide and thank you for writing me something this year. I'm certain that I will like almost anything that you write for me. As always my requests were a bit vague because I find that with most ficathons, the more limitations you set for your author, the less likely you're going to get something you'll truly like. I want you, dear author, to be comfortable in whatever you write me. Please consider this letter a simple guideline but by no means is anything set in stone.
I do have a few universal preferences and dislikes.
Preferences: Pairings: het, femslash, gen!fics. Genres: angst, UST, hurt/comfort, AU (except for everyone's human AU). I really like strong characterization, sarcastic humor, missing scene fics, and fics that explore the characters and their motivations. I also have a fondness for moody/atmospheric pieces.
Dislikes: First Person/Second Person POV, PWP, MPREGS, character bashing, incestous pairings, fluff.
Now let's get onto those fandoms that I requested.
Dollhouse: Although I am a die-hard Alpha/Echo fan, you don't have to write a shippy fic between the two of them. Actually I'll be straight up with you, if you want to write a Dollhouse fic, the only things you need to know: I love fics that focus on the "Epitaph" episodes and the darker side of the Dollhouse. My other favourite characters in this fandom are Whiskey, Sierra, Topher and Victor. Feel free to explore any of those characters and not just Alpha and Echo.
Miami Vice: I've been a fan of this show for a very long time. I grew up watching this with my parents so it has a very special place in my heart. That said, it's one of the few fandoms that I don't really ship anyone. I can see the canon ship of Gina/Sonny and I can see why people ship Crockett/Tubbs together but I don't actively ship either pairing. If you want to write me a day in the life piece focusing on Trudy, I'd be just as happy if you wanted to write a piece about the Trudy, Sonny, Rico and Gina going undercover. Please feel free to include any character that you want from the series and I can honestly say that more fic in this fandom would make me very happy.
Being Erica: I will say this, my secret kink is Erica/Josh. I would love you forever and ever dearest author if you could write me an Erica/Josh fic. That aside, I love Erica/Cassidy and Erica/Kai as well. I'd love to see a fic focusing on the whole process of therapy or even just something dealing with Erica going back and dealing with one of her regrets and how it affects her when she comes back to now. I am current with this series so you can write about any of the seasons.
AB FAB: I'm a Patsy/Eddie shipper but if you wanted to write a fic that's all about the awesome hate!sex between Patsy and Saffron, well who I am to stand in the way of your muse? But seriously, for me this show was all about the dynamic between Patsy, Eddie and Saffron. Anything dealing with that would be awesome.
Again, I want to say that you can take the above notes about the fandoms however you'd like. I am really looking forward to seeing what you'll write for. And again, thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for signing up for yuletide. I am certain that I will absolutely adore anything that you write for me.
