2024 Dear Yuletide Letter
Oct. 12th, 2024 08:39 pmDear Yuletide Author,
Thanks so much for picking one of my fandoms! I can pretty much guarantee that whatever you write me, I'll love (that's why I picked the fandoms I picked, after all) so don't feel pressured! Whatever you do, I'll love. A good, well written story is definitely much better than a poorly written story shoved together just to fill a prompt. So write what inspires you!
That being said, here's a quick list of things that make me love a story.
-Please no graphic het fics (girls have cooties!). Gen and slash fics are love, and if there's a canonical straight couple, I can get behind it, but no hardcore vaginal sex, please.
-I really really like slash.
-I like angst in my fics.
-I like dark topics (non-con/dub-con, h/c, trauma, slavery, etc) not so much because the act of torturing someone is awesome (it's really not, although well-written S/M scenes are great) but because I like the psychological effects. I like reading the fall-out more than the act itself, if that makes sense.
-Some of these fandoms don't really lend themselves to dark fic, but don't worry! I like crack fics too!
-I'll admit it, I like A/B/O - but absolutely NO MPREG. Or pregnancy fics at all, please.
I've offered a few story ideas specific to each fandom below in case your Muses aren't co-operating, but please don't feel obligated to go any particular direction. I'm happy to just read new stories in these often overlooked fandoms.
( Dimension 20: Misfits & Magic )
( Van Helsing )
( Automan )
( Coldfire Trilogy - C.S. Friedman )
( Forever Knight )
( Legend of Vox Machina )
