Dear Yuletide Writer 2017
Oct. 6th, 2017 08:46 pmDear Author,
First of all, thank you for writing for me! I love all these canons and characters, and if you offered them clearly you do too, so regardless of my requests (aside from my hard DNWs, obviously), what I most want is for you to write a story that you love. If there's something not mentioned in my prompts that sparks an idea for you, absolutely go there with my blessing. Optional details are optional, and I want you to have a fun Yuletide experience.
I'm going to give you both general and fandom-specific likes and dislikes, but if you want to know more about me in general, you can find me at lady_ragnell on the AO3 and theladyragnell on tumblr. If you want to know something that neither those links nor the letter provides, samyazaz is a trusted friend and you can ask her if you need to!
General Likes and Dislikes (this section stands from previous letters with only small edits, so if it looks familiar, that is why!)
Likes: HAPPY ENDINGS (you can make the characters earn them with angst along the way, that's fine, I'm all about hurt/comfort, but I like to feel that everything is going to be okay--especially this year, I'm having a bit of a ridiculous few months and some comfort and happiness would be much appreciated), tropes (if you can think of a trope, I probably love it, with an especial fondness for marriage tropes and epistolary, but honestly everything), AUs (again, of all kinds, from setting changes to fusions to canon divergence or close-canon AUs), romance (especially the piney sort) or general focus on friendships and found families and characters caring about each other, worldbuilding, communication
Dislikes: My basic preference is that it's fine to acknowledge the upsetting and dark things that happen in a canon, sanitizing is no one's friend, but making things darker or focusing on the darkness probably won't make me as happy, especially if it comes with an unhappy ending (I'm not your girl for Crueltide, basically, or for horror-related elements). The biggest thing I prefer to avoid is character death through terminal illness, particularly parents, and particularly cancer. If you go the porny route, I would like it to be consensual, but you can go wherever the spirit moves you kink-wise within that!
No impact one way or the other: Some of my requests are going to be shippy, but I want to assure you up front that I am just as happy with gen, because I don't ship characters in general unless I also enjoy their friendship. If you do choose to write a shippy fic, it can be any rating--I'm happy with anything from shy handholding to explicit sex, whatever fits your comfort level and where the story goes works for me.
Fandom-specific thoughts and prompts and such below the cuts! Assume spoilers for each canon.
( And Her Eyes Sewn Shut With Unicorn Hair - Rosamund Hodge )
( Jupiter Ascending )
( Killjoys )
( Still Star-Crossed )
( White Boots - Noel Streatfield )
Happy writing, author! I'm excited to see whatever you come up with, and I hope you have a great time writing it. <3
