Hey There, Yuletide Writer!

Before I begin with the actual letter writing, I'd just like to thank you profusely for whatever it is you end up writing me. I know it's not easy to come up with a prompt and write it, so congratulations on beginning and finishing and thank you. And if you couldn't finish for some reason, that's perfectly okay too, and I understand that life gets in the way! Thank you, at least, for trying, in that case.

Last but not least, yuletide writer, everything listed below is a suggestion. I don't expect anything and everything to be included -- it's all up to you and what you feel. I'll be happy and fine with anything :)

General Likes and Dislikes || The Order || Sky High || Once Upon a Time in Wonderland || Knives Out || Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters || Jurassic Park

General Likes and Dislikes

LIKES - Adventure, alternate realities/universes, angst, characters bonding together like awesome, college au's, father-son relationships, fixing relationships between two characters, humor, jealousy when the other is being flirted with, mystery, people thinking their significant other is cheating on them when in reality, they're cooking up a surprise, porn, protectiveness in a relationship, relationships being found out about if famous or legally/morally wrong, romance, sneaking around if famous or legally/morally wrong, married/dating pre-canon and into canon events, getting together secretly during canon and keeping it secret throughout canon events, getting together post canon and people finding out somehow,

DISLIKES - chubby kink, death fic without a happy ending, extremely dark fic, extreme kinks, extreme porn, infidelity, rape between characters in a relationship, roleplay, threesomes and moresomes, watersports, unhappy endings, ambiguous/open endings.

The Order

I'm a big fan of having the main four forget who they are a bit longer in season two, or pretend to forget who they are longer in season two before confronting Alyssa. I'm also a big fan of Jack playing the long game with his father, and that plot not ending in season one, so that he has to really go deep in.

  • I like Alyssa in season one, so you can include her, but I'm not a big fan of her character in season two.
  • I am a huge fan of Jack/Randall, so if you're comfortable doing that, you absolutely can. If you're not a big fan of it, you can keep them just friends.
  • I also enjoy Jack/Randall/Hamish/Lilith, if you want to include that, though, with a prefer taste towards Jack/Randall, lol.
  • You can keep them platonic, too.
  • I just love the pack bonds in general. So their friendship is super important to me.
  • You can include any and all of the characters available in the story, as there's none that I hate.
Sky High

Post film is my favorite thing, especially when all of the students are in their final years at the high school. Another enemy comes into town, maybe Warren's Dad, and tries to get Warren to turn evil is a favorite trope of mine. I also enjoy the idea of Will staying in hero support longer? That could always be interesting. This will be listed in my letter, but I'm a big fan of Warren/Will as a main pairing.

  • If you have a better idea, you can use it! These are just prompts
  • While I state above that my main pairing for SH is Warren/Will, if you'd rather write them as friends, that's perfectly okay. All I ask is that there's no other ships that involve Warren and Will with others. (So a gen fic, I suppose).
  • I love all of the characters in SH, so please feel free to include them.
  • I also love the Commander, and him learning new things and getting an attitude change as the story goes on.
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland

Maybe the characters get stuck in the original OUaT universe, and are behind the 28-year spell? I don't have a lot of prompts for these two - I just love Alice, and Will. I also love them as Will/Alice, so if you're comfortable writing that, I'll love you forever.

  • If you end up doing the thing where the characters are in the original OUaT verse, trapped behind the spell, if you can also include hints to Killian/Emma, I'll love you even more. It's not necessary,but I love it.
  • I love all of the characters, so you can include them all if you want.
  • If you prefer platonic Will and Alice, please don't do Will/Ana or Alice/Cyrus.
  • If this isn't much help, you can find my previous prompts for OUaTiW during Yuletide, here.
Knives Out

An AU where Ransom didn't kill Harlan would be swell. Or he thought about it, but didn't do it. Random and Marta soulmate AU where Harlan is still murdered and they figure it out. Marta lessening Ransom's evilness somehow. Ransom gets out of jail early for some reason and Marta sees him, or is stuck with him. AU where Ransom and Marta got together pre-film, and it changes everything. AU where Harlan never dies, Ransom and Marta get together, IDK. I am a huge fan of Ransom/Marta, so.... a lot of the following prompts go for that. If they make you uncomfortable, which is understandable, you can try to do a general fic including the characters where things change somehow, or introspective pieces.

  • Like I said above, I'm a huge fan of Ransom/Marta. If you're not a fan of the ship, you can make it platonic, I don't mind.
  • If you do make it platonic, please don't have Ransom or Marta with the detective or others.
  • I love all of the characters....as much as one can love characters who are shitty characters, aha.I don't mind if you include them in the story, even if they're not listed on the form.
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

Continuation of the movie, what happens next, where do they go?; People always assuming they know the truth about the duo; Hansel trying to convince Gretel she won't change with the wand; "You can go your own way"; Edward's thoughts on the duo; Missing scene of the movie -- Hansel learns what the men tried to do with Gretel. If you include Ben, that's perfectly fine. Preferably general with no pairings OR, if you're fine with it, Hansel/Gretel with unrequited Ben/Gretel on Ben's side (once again, if you use Ben).

  • Like I said in my optional details, if you're okay with Hansel/Gretel pairing, go for it. It can be explicit or non, I don't mind either
  • I love protective Edward when it comes to Gretel
  • I also love protective Hansel when it comes to Gretel
  • Ben's a cutie -- his crush on Gretel is also adorable, but I'd prefer it to be one-sided
  • Little mention of Mina, please
  • I love gruesome and gory, so go for it if you include actual witch hunting
  • Anything will make me happy!
Jurassic Park

Okay - first things first, I guess - I'm a huge fan of the all of the characters, from the original trilogy to the new trilogy. Alan, Ian, Ellie, Nick, Sarah, Lex, Timmy, Kelly, Eric, Owen, Claire, etc. I love them all. The only character I don't love is Billy, lmao. Please don't include Billy in the story. Some prompts I would love - The original trio + the kids appearing together on the third movie setting somehow. Everyone having 'reunions' because getting stuck on dinosaur islands is something special. Everyone being at JW when the events of the JW movie happen. Speculation on the third JW film, with all of the characters included. Yearly reunion that no one outside really knows about as one big family; somehow they all get stuck on the first island again and things are worse somehow; post-traumatic stress disorder is experienced and therapy is held; In college, the siblings bump into Alan or Ian or both and reunite; Dinosaurs are in town, oh no!; They were stuck on the first island much longer than in the movies; Alan and the Kids were on the second island with Ian somehow; The aftermath and dealing with their island visit (or visits, if you want to combine this with the kids and Alan being on the second island!); Gen, het or slash is fine. I'm not picky.

  • You can include any of the characters in any of the film, I'm not picky about that
  • The things above are just prompts. If you want to write something else, go for it!
  • No explicit sex, please?
  • I'd love to see a lot of Dinosaur action -- preferably Tyrannosaurus.
  • You can combine any of the prompts if you want.
  • Anything will generally make me happy
  • Ship wise, here's what I prefer: Alan/Ian, Alan/Ellie, Alan/Ellie/Ian. Claire/Owen. None of the kids in ships.
  • Character wise - seriously, include them all. Include all of the ones from all of the movies, from both of the trilogies. Just don't include Billy, lmao.


Once again, thank you so much for writing me something, yuletide author. If you have any questions, anonymous commenting is allowed. [Though, I don't know if you're allowed to comment in general...] If you want, you can also ask me stuff anonymously on my tumblr, spookybuckleystrand - though, if that doesn't work, I might be smartbuckleystrand, or have a Christmas themed URL. If that's the case, I'll do my best to update the URL here.

letter: dear author, fest: yuletide
