Yuletide letter
Oct. 8th, 2012 10:40 pmDear Yuletide writer,
OH MAN, YOU'RE THE BEST!!! Yuletide is my favorite time of year and I'm so excited that you are into one of my teeny fandoms; thank you so much for writing a fic for me! Two quick things before I really get my babble going here: I know people sometimes wonder whether holiday-themed stories would be cool with their recipients; they'd be cool with me, if you wanted to go that route! Also cool with me if it's something that comes up: inventing/using original characters as needed!
Things that I love: friendships and family (both blood-related-family and found-family) and people being concerned about & caring for each other, and protecting each other. I'm a sucker for the occasional hurt/comfort. I love nerds, high school narratives, college narratives, competence, humor, and superheroes/spies/spooky supernatural stories. I'm cool with violence and/or sex scenes as long as they work in the context of the story. I tend to prefer stories that mesh well with the general feeling of the source canon; ie: not taking a light-hearted sitcom canon and writing a darkfic of torture and death and maimery. I love humor and warm moments, but if it matches with the canon's feel, I can absolutely go for sadder, darker stuff as well. Go with your own judgment and have fun writing, and I will be absolutely delighted!
Things that I'm usually not into in fiction: incest, explicit rape scenes, infidelity, alternate universe fic (except for Groundhog Day style fics; they are my AU achilles heel), porn without plot.
Now I'm going to talk about request ideas and ramble a bit about what I like about these characters/canons! Please take all of it with many grains of salt; I'm chucking out a bunch of information in the hopes that something in it will be helpful to you, not because I intend it to be a laundry list of stuff that I ~*expect*~ to see in a fic!! I am a windbag when it comes to canons I love. I apologize in advance. Seriously, I am a chronic over-talker, so if you're someone who prefers to work with less outside detail, you can definitely stop reading this letter here!
( Requests! Gravity Falls; Hellboy; Static Shock; Young Avengers )
