Dear Yuletide Santa Goat Person
Hi there, fabulous writer! This is my first Yuletide as a reader or writer, and I'm nervous-excited enough for every tiny fandom! (Mostly excited.) I will try not to be a bother, because I'm just so happy to be a part of it.

1. First of all, thank you. Thank you for volunteering your time, thank you for taking the time to read this letter, thank you for writing me a present. I'm grateful already, and pretty sure you're my Christmas favorite.
2. Specific Fandom Requests! Here's where I get giddy with excitement, because I'm getting a story for one of these fandoms.
a) Twelve Kingdoms/Juuni Kokki
Ideas to consider:
* Ranjou and Shouryuu have obviously met before. Why the hate? Why the name-calling? Is it because they hooked up? Is it because Ranjou was topping? Did Shouryuu make a pass at Hanrin, or a 16th century crack about Ranjou's jewelry?
* Anything Gyousou/Taiki is made of love and glorious and delicious and sweet. I'd love to see anything involving them taking back the Kingdom of Tai (for plotty) or simply happy together afterwards (for fluffy).
* Anything from G-rated fluff to NC-17-rated porn is more than welcome.
* My last request is that you do not break up Gyousou and Taiki by pairing either of them with someone else. If they cannot be together, have them alone?
* Feel free to ignore me. I'm the recipient, you are the all-powerful author, and I am grateful.
b) Old Kingdom - Garth Nix
Ideas to consider: There is no fic for this fandom I'd be unhappy to read--except maybe a crossover with something I've never heard of. I'm a pushover for backstory, though.
* Something about the founding of the Charter, perhaps? Tell me a story about the original Wallmakers, about Yrael and Kibeth's interaction as Bright Shiners, about the first Charter Mage, the first King or Queen.
* Nick trying to decide who to ask for Lirael's hand--The Clayr? Sabriel? Does he make a mistake and ask Touchstone, since Ancelstierre is less forward-thinking about gender equality? H-hijinks?
* Despite the last prompt, I'm also totally okay with Nick/Sam slash. Fooling around in school, meeting up after Nick comes back to life, anything from shenanigans to PWP.
* Hell, if you want to give me Touchstone and Sabriel's first time, I'd be more than pleased with a PWP.
* Anything. Just...I love this series and all the characters and you.
c) Animorphs
Ideas to consider:
* My favorite characters are the family group of Elfangor, Tobias, and Ax. AU where The Ellimist never meddled? I'd be tickled about a piece where Elfangor has to introduce his Andalite family to his human family.
* I'd love a fic about Tobias having some contact with his father sometime in the series--a ghost, an alternate universe version, or a voice in his insane head after Taylor messes with him.
* I like Tobias/Rachel a lot, but I don't mind them being broken up for a good reason.
* The only thing I can think I wouldn't like would be established relationship incest between these three. And even then, I'm not all that against it? I don't hate any characters except Taylor, and I don't hate reading about her.
3. Now, my pretty much irrelevant desires: I love genderswap, Slavery AUs, genfic, slash, het, PWP/Explicit porn, fluffy sweetness, and backstory. I believe that fiction exists to tell stories, and that stories exist to tell us about characters. I love humor, dark humor, creepy foreshadowing, world-building, and extrapolative fiction, but character interaction is my favorite thing of all. I like crossovers, but I understand that it's hard to know what I'm familiar with. NONE OF THESE ARE REQUIRED. THIS IS JUST A LIST--and I'm pretty sure it involves almost everything, so...yeah. I'm easy to please. I'll be happy, I promise.
4. I have so few squicks. Scat, gory porn, baby rape? I tend to believe that whatever is necessary to tell a story is not only acceptable, it's required. The one thing above all others that will take me out of a story is where dreams mean something. I'm just not very interested in dreams. The one last thing I would ask you (though feel free to ignore me) to avoid is when canon characters suddenly hate another canon character. [For example, Harry Potter fic where everyone randomly hates Dumbledore.]
5. I said there were four but I lied, and this is a second thank-you note. Thank you again!
I'm most often on my tumblr where I rant about Tiger and Bunny and Earthbound. Feel free to bother me with Anonymous requests or stalk my movements or anything. On there, and on AO3, I'm daphnerunning.
