Dear Yuletide Writer...

Oct 20, 2021 18:27

First and foremost, thank you. I salute your courage and your willingness to write for a complete stranger.

Writing is, at best, a hard labor and I want you to know I really appreciate your efforts. I assure you I'll pounce on any fic you write and treasure it like a Nobel winning work.

I put it in different words in the sign up form but I'm really most interested in the canonverse, so I’d appreciate a story about that rather than a crossover or AU; also, I have some things I rather not read on Christmas morning. Since I love exchanges, I made My List [please follow this finely crafted link] to help you know me better and, maybe, to help you find inspiration.

Oh, and before I forgot: please, don't write a lengthy fic for me. I'm a slow reader and I find fic over 10k words hard to read and to reply in a timely manner.

Now, let's see specific details to the fandoms.

Strange Planet (Webcomic)

If you have never read Strange Planet you are in for a treat! Imgur have a tag with some of the best (HERE). This is my kind of humor, the one that contemplate the human condition from outside. The main shtick is the run-of-the-mill activities with the incongruous language. These aliens are a positive delight! I can't wait for you to tell me how else these cute little aliens tackle all the mundane task of daily life. I asked for worldbuilding so you can go where no one has gone before or feel free to go deeper on topics Nat Pike had already touched. Rest assured this one will be enjoyed with a sip of hot cacao and a smile.

Sir Butler and Boy - Tab Kimpton (Webcomic)
Edmund James Price (Sir Butler and Boy)
Arthur Jefferson (Sir Butler and Boy)
John Hutchinson (Sir Butler and Boy)

My bulletproof kink is Master/servant and I’m not using the slash here as exclusively sexual, I think I explain myself better HERE [please follow this finely crafted link]. In any case, with that context, you can understand why I was attracted to this collection to brief comics. You can read it HERE.

I've sat on this for five years or more before I dared to ask for it for Yuletide. Literally anything you go with will make my delights. I know the setting makes this a bittersweet story, but I think these men had a lot of sweet and hot times in between "For Starters" and "Memories and Maidenhead." I'd be thrilled if you want to explore the dynamics of their relationship or if you go for a quiet Holiday Season fic. The source material is NSFW, but don't feel obliged to follow that line: I'd be happy to read a quiet rainy afternoon, a Christmas dinner, a post-session care activity, a sick fic, even a curtain fic or whatever  your heart desire with these characters.

Any character

More than a year I had been pinning for fanfic for this fandom, but alas! no luck.  The show is in Spanish, but worry not! Subtitles and dubs are good for this one and the characters I found all the characters in the tagset endearing, please write whatever strikes your fancy. I'm particularly fond to the paternal relationship between Bernat y Arnau Estanyol, but I'd also want to know more of Arnau and Joan becoming brothers and having all those little petty fraternal fights. Francesca Esteve deserves better than the role in the series, I want to know more about her, about her business about her life after she got a good look of her strapping son. I would love to know more of these characters!

Wow, that was quite an earful.  Please, disregard any and everything I write above if that doesn’t work for you. Now, go write to your heart's desire.

I wish you the best in this season!

exchanges, dear author, yuletide
