Dear Yuletide Writer
DIS MO FO IS A PLACEHOLDER BECAUSE OF REASONS
Update: I forgot to write the Alexander section of my letter! Aaaah! I'm so sorry if this is the fandom we matched on, I'm such a mess lately that it completely slipped my mind. I've fixed it now, but honestly, any Alexander fic is brilliant, so I'm sure I'll love what you come up with :)

Firstly, thank you for writing for me <3 chillax Yuletide writer, don't worry about the deadline or anything: I will love whatever you write. OK.
What I generally like in fic: character driven narrative, introspection, nostalgia, friendships (strong friendships), angst and h/c, humour, family (and friendship) bonding, as close to canon as possible.
What I dislike: fluff (ick), crazy AUs, character death (unless it's canon), mpreg, non-canon relationships, smut.
A note on triggers: I have no triggers! I love gore.
Fandoms
Resident Evil (movie 'verse):
I can't even write about how much I love RE without needing to stop and take a break to control my feels, OHMYGOD. In case you were anaware: I will love anything you write in this fandom, bar nothing. Do whatever you want with it; go crazy, as long as you enjoy writing it then I will love reading it. If you reeeeally want direction: my favourite character is Jill, I worship this woman I stg. I love Alice in equal amounts, I love her awesomeness and her killer survivor instinct. I love LJ, Carlos, and the rest of Claire's convoy. I love their relationships and the way in which they're determinded to keep humanity alive.
I would love Retribution-era fic, exploring the cloning experiments and the struggles Alice faces when she realises her friends are now her enemies. Becky is adorable. Ada is flawless. Rain is so badass. But Jill is my queen. But any-era fic is great, I have no preference.
In terms of shipping: I prefer gen fic, but Alice/Carlos are canon and therefore LOVE. I do not ship Alice/Claire or Alice/Chris; I prefer them as BFFs. I have this theory that Alice is asexual. Chris/Claire incest is ewww and I rue the day I stumbled upon it :S
In terms of the games: I have played them, and love them with all my heart, so don't be afraid to put references in, Ada/Leon, Chris/Jill (OTP!) etc.
Stargate Universe:
For SG:U, I really like gen fic. I don’t particularly ship anyone (ok, so Chloe/Matt are a given, and TJ/Young really interests me, but only insofar as her pregnancy and after effects of that), because I truly think gen fic works best for this show - the Destiny crew are just too awesome to whittle them down to pairings.
That being said, I really like TJ, all her little insecurities and her hidden strengths, and the pure fact that she’s not even a real doctor but she’s out there in space saving lives and not having a mental breakdown. Anything that focuses on TJ, or is written from her perspective, I will love. That being said, write it from anyone’s perspective, whoever you feel most comfortable with, because like I said: I love them all.
My weakness in fic is Novus timeline: I really liked those two episodes and I kind of believe that if those two episodes had been aired earlier then the show wouldn’t have been cancelled. But, anyway, OLD NEWS. I love the little hints of survivalism and security that you get from the Novus timeline, so anything set there would be great. FIRST CHRISMAS ON NOVUS: A DOCUMENTARY, AS FILMED BY ELI WALLACE? And Volker and Brody star as Santa’s elves, or something, idk.
That being said, happiness and family bonding aboard the Destiny is great too. I really just want to see a fic in which they are all happy together and finding various ways of coping with being away from their respective families.
Starship Troopers (1997):
I just love the M.I kids, and their crazy outlooks on life. I would love anything in this fandom as there is never enough fic. I ship Johnny/Dizzy with all my tragic-shipper heart, but I kind of prefer them as close to canon as possible. I love the dark comedy of this fandom, the fascism and the bugs and the way in which these kids go from being highschoolers to soldiers practically overnight.
Alexander Trilogy - Mary Renault:
I would truly love any fic in this fandom, any character, any rating, any plot. I adore Hephaestion, and Aristotle, and anything showing Aristotle teaching the boys at Pella would be uber cute. There's no part about Renault's stories that I dislike, so honestly: write what you love, and I will love it too :)
