Dear Yuletide Secret Santa!
I have signed up for yuletide!!!! I am very pleased with my prompts this year (and am sad that I had to choose one of the five I had thought of to leave out; I liked all five).
Dear Yuletide Secret Santa,
Thanks for being part of this. I hope you have FUN writing this story.
As you can tell from my requests (with the one obvious exception), I'm all about the female characters; I like for them to be the focus in most of what I read, but also feel that their interactions with other characters are often some of the most revealing moments. The most important aspect of all my requests is the interaction between the characters and what they learn about themselves and one another through that interaction. In these prompts, I'm not particularly interested in any of the listed characters' relationships, except as they come up in the conversation(s); I really don't het or slash shippiness between any pair of characters, though their other (canon) relationships (where applicable), may be part of the conversation.
As rather a canon whore, my favorite stories are introspective character pieces, missing scenes, filled-in bits. I like seeing how someone takes events of canon and tells a story from between the lines. I especially like slice of life stories, average, "boring," moments of people doing normal things. I like angst, I like joy, I like reflection, I like conversations, I like sad stories, hopeful stories, humor, plot, dark, tidily wrapped up, open-ended, lyrical in style, abrupt and realistic in style.
I like to see "my" characters as real people in all their contradictions--strong and vulnerable, hopeful and desperate, satisfied and despairing, kind and cold, determined and indecisive, courageous and terrified--and the struggle (not always successful) that it is for them to keep the positive balanced a bit higher than the negative.
I love all of these fandoms and ideas and prompts, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you write! Thank you again in advance.
