Yuletide Letter 2020
Oct. 25th, 2020 05:43 pmAfter a number of years of Yuletide hiatus and several more of just writing treats, I'm (re)taking the plunge, as it were, and signing up officially. Thank you very much to my assigned writer--I'm very much looking forward to receiving your fic, and I'm sure it will be wonderful! I've included some basic guidelines as well as some ideas and prompts below, if you might find it helpful as you write.
As I put in my AO3 notes, my DNWs across fandoms are vomit and animal death. I'm all right with most things that are commonly put on DNW lists, so if you feel that it fits in the story you want to write and can be done well, go ahead. I should also note, as I've exclusively requested historical fandoms with gay or at the very least gay-adjacent characters, that I don't mind if you include period-appropriate homophobia.
I tend to be more into bittersweetness than outright tragedy, or tragedy that might not seem like tragedy to those outside of it. I love complicated characters engaged in complex relationships with one another. I am also of course perfectly all right with happiness, especially complex and sometimes difficult but nonetheless true happiness. I am not much for straight-up fluff. I would also prefer no scenery-changing AUs (space, high school, paranormal, etc.), though canon-divergent AUs would be perfectly all right. I am also a massive history nerd, so if you know something about canon era for any of my requested fandoms and want to flaunt it, I'd be delighted.
Finally, while I assume this is something people who write for Yuletide generally know, I'd like to make clear that Character/Character pairings--with the slash--are meant to be romantic and/or sexual, while Character & Character pairings--with the ampersand--are meant to be platonic.
On to individual fandoms:
( Society of Gentlemen - K.J. Charles )
( Portrait de la jeune fille en feu | Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) )
( The Bedlam Stacks - Natasha Pulley )
I've written the most here about Society of Gentlemen because I requested the most characters, with the most possible relationship combinations--but do know that I'd be equally delighted with any of the fandoms I've requested, so please do write whatever you'd most like to write! Thank you again, and happy Yuletide!
