Hello, Yuletiders! I'm thrilled it's Yuletide season again. I love seeing what people request, scheming treats, figuring out how to answer prompts, reading the great bounty of stories, and being part of the overall sense of joy and merriment and delight.
There's only one thing that consistently bums me out about Yuletide, which is reading dear author letters where someone has requested not to receive certain kinds of kinky content in a way that makes it sound as if someone who would enjoy such a thing is gross or icky or otherwise beyond the pale.
I wrote a post with some suggestions for saying a respectful "no thanks" to whatever it is you don't want. If you're looking for ideas, or if you have further suggestions or examples of this done well, here it is:
