Ugh, I'm late with this, I know, but this weekend was crazy. However, I've gotten pretty excited about my Yuletide assignment. And here's my Note to the Wonderful Person That Got My Request!
Dear Yuletide Santa,
Thank you for picking any of my fandoms! They are a mix of new and old loves, and I will be delighted to read something in any of them.
Mostly, I just want you to write what you would enjoy the most. You can even ignore my character requests if you have something else in the fandom that you would love to write! I was pretty rambly/vague on the details in my requests, I know, but hopefully something was there to spark an idea.
Here's a few things I enjoy: I like reading about character’s pasts just as much as their future, and I’m always a sucker for good character interaction. I’m just as happy with genfic (I love plotty fic, darkfic, character-driven stuff, mindfuckery or humor) as I am with anything romantic (though if you’re more comfortable writing smut or whatnot, have at it. You aren’t likely to shock me, though I would prefer less hardcore kink and more characterization. If any of that’s an issue.) I read it all- slash, het, gen, incest... I like unrequited love just as much as requited. If you want to try something experimental or go out on a crazy limb, by all means, go for it. I love to see writers taking risks, even if they fail at it, just as much as someone being excellent at something safer.
Basically, all this rambling amounts to is that I’ll be happy with pretty much anything in the fandoms I’ve requested. Have fun with it, and I’m sure to enjoy it. (Hopefully I’m not too vague, but really, I am that easy to please.)
And thank you! *bounces*
Love,
Nokomis
(Who so did not basically re-use last year's letter.)
