Yuletide 2020 Letter
Dear Fellow Yuletider,
Thank you in advance for what you'll do for me. I'm sure I'll love it. I also know how difficult it is to create for someone you don't know, so I'm writing a few things down. Please take what you like and ignore what you don't. This is mostly to help you out.
General Likes
I'm really easy to please. Give me something that feels like canon and I'm happy, but to get into the specifics:
- I like plot. Whether you're exploring an event, a relationship, a case, I'll love it.
- Characterization. I love character driven stories. I love any story that makes me feel like I'm getting to know the characters in a new light
- Getting together stories. I simply adore them.
- I'm a slasher at heart and I've never read a slash ship I don't adore. I come from the HP fandom where Giant Squid and teaspoons were part of a pairing, so really go crazy.
- Humor, fluff and banter.
- Dialogue, lots of dialogue.
- Happy endings. I enjoy angst along the way, but I like that happy ending. Life is crappy enough at the moment and fandom is my happy place
- Linear telling. I can't really read/watch non linear stories. Once I know how it ends, I stop caring.
- Characters in their 20s and up
General Likes
- PWP. When it comes to smut, I don't mind it, but I don't really find PWPs that interesting.
- Major character death
- BDSM
- Non canonical gender/race identity
- Unhappy ending
- Non magical/fantasy AU in magical/fantasy fandoms. I do love canon divergence or post canon.
- Kidfic
- MPREG in non fantasy/magical canon
- Threesome/poly unless specifically asked for.
- A/B/O
The Alienist
Any story about this fandom would make me so happy. Any combination of John, Laszlo and Sarah is fine, whether platonic or romantic. I just love the characters and how they interact with each other. A case they work together, any two getting together, more hardship before figuring out that they are still friends, a Christmas spent together. Seriously ANYTHING will be appreciated.
The Addams Family
Their creepy and their kooky, mysterious and spooky and absolutely amazing. Morticia and Gomez have been my OTP since I was a child and watched the TV series. Anything family related will be great. A strange family Christmas maybe.
The Breakfast Club
I'd love to see Andrew and John as either 20 something or as adults. How did they change? Are they friends? Are they lovers? Have they ignored each other since that Saturday in detention? What are their lives like? Basically tell me what you like about them.
Grease
Danny and Kenickie, Danny/Kenickie, either or works for me. Much like the Breakfast Club, tell me what happened to them as they grew up and I'll love it.
The Lost Boys
I admit that I haven't seen the Tribe so anything from there will be lost on me. Also this is one fandom where I'm okay ignoring canon and the end of the movie. When it comes to David and Michael, again I'm okay with a slash or platonic fic. What happens after the movie ends? Do they get together? Do they fight? Does David turn him?
Political Animals
This was one of my favorite shows and I adored the dynamic within the Hammond family. With TJ if you want to do a romantic story, OCs within the political world, it's fine. If you want to do it with a real person in the political world, that's fine too. A family scene with the entire family is always something I love.
I hope this helps you, but the most important thing is to enjoy what you write, because I'm sure I'll love it.
Love,
Titti
