Dear Yuletide writer...
Up and foremost, I'd like to thank you in advance, because I'm sure that no matter which request you decide to fulfill, it will make me happy. All of them are fandoms that I hold dear and that I haven't really found much fic for (or none at all), so I'm really looking forward to read anything you'll write for me.
However, in order to give you a somewhat more detailed idea of what I generally like to read, I've written down some guidelines. I've tried to keep them as general as possible while still making them (hopefully) helpful.
Very generally speaking, I love both slash and het equally and I'm ok with any rating. I do love smut or at least the implication of it, but if that is not something you feel comfortable with, don't worry about it. While I've read gen fic before, I do, by far, prefer fic that features a pairing/pairings of some sort. However, if that is totally not your thing, of course gen fic is fine with me, too. :) I'm a HUGE fan of first time/get together fics, so that's what I mostly read. I also like action, romance, fluff, PWP, fantasy, supernatural, mystery and adventure fic. Most of the time I'm also not really looking for a particular plot in fics, but rather for certain elements, some of which are listed below (in totally random order):
Likes: first times; sweetness; smut; mild kink; banter; teasing; cuddling; casual touching; bisexuality; arguing; fighting (physically and with words); "opposites attract"; humor; strong characters; mischief; "actions speak louder than words"; tough guys; laughter; (sexual) tension; introspection; threesomes; joking; get togethers; hair; a touch of angst; gentleness; rough sex; happy endings or endings that provide at least some sort of resolution
Dislikes: death fic; mpreg; extreme possessivness/jealousy; character bashing; whiny, weepy men; torture and humiliation; totally unresolved angst; angst for the sake of angsting; uber-fluff; uber-cutsieness
Furthermore, I've also put down a bit more on the specific requests in addition to the details given in the sign-up:
Request 1: 07-Ghost
Frau/Teito
Sign-up Details: I would really like to see some romantic involvement between Frau and Teito or at least the tender beginnings of it (if it's not your thing, though, friendship is ok, too). One of the scenes I absolutely love is in the end scene of the anime where they escape and Teito leans his head against Frau's back. If the story conveys that sort of feeling that is in that scene, that would be the greatest gift of all. Smut is very welcome, but any rating is ok, really. Please no death or totally unresolved angst/hurt. A happy ending would actually make me very very happy.
What I love about these two, is the way they interact and how their relationship evolves throughout the series: Teito's reluctant and grudging acceptance that Frau's not as bad as it seems and that Teito can actually trust him (and does), as well as Frau's rough, yet gentle care for Teito.
So, anything that brings across that sort of feeling, that subtle gentleness that is between them but that neither would admit to, would make me very happy. If you prefer to write a single character piece I'd like to see something about Frau.
Request 2: Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits
Darc/Kharg
Sign-up Details:Sibling relationships are one of my big big fanfiction loves, so I'd really like to see some romantic involvement between Kharg and Darc, even if only implied, and bonus points if there is anything "first time" involved. However, if sibling love is a problem for you, I'd love to see something with a lot of typical sibling bickering, while it is still obvious that they care about each other (even reluctantly). Smut is very welcome, but any rating is ok, really. Please no death or totally unresolved angst/hurt. A happy ending would actually make me the happiest.
I just love how different those two are and how they have to learn to accept and work with these differences. As I stated in my details, sibling relationships are one of my big big fanfiction kinks, but I do know that that is not everyone's cup of tea. So, if you only want to do friendship, I'd like to see a lot of brotherly teasing, bantering, bickering, and maybe also something about showing each other parts of their world, of their lives, of who they are and want to be. However, if you would like to indulge my love for sibling love, I'd like to see some fighting (physical) that turns into something else, as well as the above mentioned bickering and teasing. If a single character piece is more your thing, I have no preference as to which character it is, but I would like to see some thoughts on how he is going to try and include his brother's world into his own and make it work.
Request 3: Twelve Kingdoms aka Juuni Kokki
Keiki/Youko
Sign-up Details: I do like them as friends, but if possible I'd love to see some romantic involvement, even if only implied or even just both of them having obvious feelings for each other. Smut is welcome, but any rating is ok. Please no death or totally unresolved angst/hurt. A happy ending would actually make me the happiest. Cuddling of any sort would also be very much appreciated, but is not necessary.
I just want to see more of those two together, as I love how they learn to accept and respect each other, as well as work together for the best of their country. However, I'm also quite fascinated with Keiki as a character, and I'd love to see what happens if he realizes that he's actually developing romantic feelings for Youko and how he's going about doing something about it, considering who and what he is. So, this could be an introspective story that features Keiki, too, though I would prefer some interaction between him and Youko.
Request 4: Zombie Loan
Chika/Shito
Sign-up Details: I'd love to see some romantic involvement between Chika and Shito, even if only implied, and bonus points if there is anything "first time" involved. Smut is very welcome, but any rating is ok, really. Please no death or totally unresolved angst/hurt. A happy ending would actually make me the happiest.
Opposites attract, they say, and that's what fascinates me in Chika and Shito's relationship as well. I love how they quarrel, but I also think they are really good for each other. Anything that features them needing each other, again either as friends or (preferably) as lovers, would be great. If a single character piece is more to your liking, I'd prefer something on Shito.
***
Also, feel free to include as many other characters into the fic as you like, as long as the ones I requested play the main role.
If you have any questions, please contact me through the Yuletide admins. Otherwise, belina would also be a good source, I think. She knows what I like. ^_^
Much love and thank you so much for taking this on,
