Dear Yuletide Writer!
Dear Yule Writer: I am not a picky person. If you love one of these fandoms as much as I do, you will probably make something that will make me very happy.
(1) October Daye series - Seanan McGuire (any character)
I love everything about this series. Quentin and Raj are probably my favorites, but I would be happy with just about anything. (I'm super excited by Quentin's new relationship hinted at in A Red-Rose Chain!) I love exploring the boundaries between Faerie and the mortal world -- especially with a character like, say, Chelsea to act as a guide. Alternatively, Toby/Tybalt is always good; Toby and Tybalt as mentors to Quentin and Raj is always good, and I basically just love this universe to pieces, so go to town. (Try not to kill off anybody that hasn't died in canon?)
(2) The Librarians (Cassandra, Eve, Jake, Ezekiel)
Just give me TEAM and HIJINKS and I will be happy. (And honestly, I can't think of why else you would like this show enough to write it for Yuletide?) Please keep this one on the light side -- this is my fluffy silly fandom. Bonus points for the kind of snarky repartee and deep knowledge of mythology that the show exhibits. I like Flynn and the other characters too! Any sexytimes would be fine but are not necessary -- do whatever you want on that score.
(3) Inside Out (any character)
I would dearly love to see what happened with Riley in the span of time between the day she decided not to run away and the day she got her "upgrade" in the epilogue. Clearly Joy and Sadness learned to work together. Or the events of the story from one of the other characters' internal points of view, maybe? Alternatively, seeing the conceit of the inside-voice characters applied in a crossover would also be fun -- what do other peoples' heads sound like?
IN GENERAL (repeated every year, more applicable to some fandoms than others):
The stuff I like best: first kisses, first times, threesomes/moresomes, stubborn loyalty, stubborn trust, us-against-the-world, intimacy, teamwork, and competence. Hey-kids-let's-put-on-a-show. A sense of place. Rituals, sex, and ritual sex. Strangers in strange lands. Secret romances where the stakes of discovery are high. Power exchange and sexualized D/s relationships. Coming-out stories and discovery of same-sex desire.
The stuff I don't like: partner betrayal, non-canonical death, drug or smoking kink, scat, bestiality, or bugs. Not much on clowns, really, and I'm not big on mixing sex and food, for some reason. Pretty much anything else I can think of is A-OK. Knock yourself out. :)
That's it! Go write! Have fun! If you have fun, I'll have fun. That's the short version.
