Dear Yuletide Writer!
First off, thanks so much for participating in Yuletide! I can't wait to read your story, and I'm going to love it.
As a fic reader, my general preference is for angsty gen h/c that emphasizes friendship, or sometimes just moments of understanding between adversaries. But if romance is what you do (in any of its iterations) that's fine. If you write something explicitly sexual my reaction is likely to be muted because my RL and fannish worlds are completely intertwined.
Fandom-specific thoughts...
The Orville - I've been enjoying this series a lot, and I'm not sure why, because it's not, yk, GOOD. Anything that helps explain the appeal of ST:TOS-with-penis-jokes would be helpful.
As for plot ideas ideas... Okay, Kelly's a mystery. *WHY* is she so devoted to Ed??? Or, why does Yaphit present himself the way he does? Or, yk, just slash whomever you wish.
Wonder Woman - Honestly I don't remember too much about this movie - as in, I don't remember who lives and who dies - I just remember it was great. (Googling "who survived Wonder Woman" looks to uncap multiple rabbit holes of decades of comic canon and WW2 theorizing. Backing out...) My favorite character, I'm surprised to be typing, was Dr. Maru. Do with this information as you wish (or ignore it entirely).
Pokemon Go - Looking at this tag on AO3, it looks like most fic is actually more focused on game/show canon. I'm a 51-year-old suburban mom; I know NOTHING about the broader Pokemon universe, I just play Pokemon Go obsessively. Like, I'd name my next daughter Eevee. So... really, anything goes - go meta, go RPF, do something with the Youtube community. And Team Mystic Forever.
The Martian - I loved this movie. Looooooved this movie. My favorite fics involve reintegrating Mark into life with other humans.
