Dear Yuletide Writer
Oct. 15th, 2018 19:13Hello Yuletide person,
It can't be Yuletide yet! I swear we just had one a couple months ago. I still have fic I haven't read.
If you're a total stranger, hi, I'm a fairly easy recipient and I don't bite! If you come here after getting your assignment and you have a feeling you know what to write, go ahead and create. You don't have to read this. You'll be fine. But if you have no idea or are otherwise curious then I'll try to explain how my brain works.
MY DO NOT WANTS (for every fandom unless otherwise specified, more in fandom section if applicable)
Heavy kinks (bdsm, fisting, scat, animal play, bestiality etc.), size/daddy/age kink, rape between requested people, unrequested pairings, A/B/O, permanent genderswap, mpreg, kidfic, recreational drug use
Further explanation for some of these:
Acknowledging differences in size and age is obviously fine. I just don't get any particular kicks out of either one.
I really like mentor/ward relationships and protectiveness when it fits the characters. It's the literal use of "daddy" in dialogue that's a major DNW for me. Being a father figure type is fine.
Recreational drug use (anything other than alcohol and tobacco) is only a DNW if it's treated as unproblematic. If the usage is canonical you don't need to erase it. I don't consider getting drugged or roofied as recreational because it's unintentional, and if you create a made up substance that's also fine.
The next bit is copied from last year with a few minor tweaks. Not much has changed.
GENERAL LIKES:
This is hardly a complete list, but it should give you an idea of something I might like. It's a bit shipping-heavy and they might not fit the fandom we matched on, but many would work for friendships as well, or you can use them in a gen way.
Examples of things I tend to go for: Dialogue, drama, angst, hurt/comfort (mental and physical, esp. tending to wounds/injuries or holding close after some emotional hurt), bonding, pining, UST/RST, getting together, first times, romance, humour and banter, sweetness and happy/hopeful endings, fix-its, what-ifs, canon divergence or alternate endings, missing scenes, adventure, mission/casefic, various scifi tropes where applicable (for example: wormholes, time travel, reliving bits of time, telepathy, invisibility due to accident, clones, androids, alien tech, alternate timelines/universes). Also other tropes like confined spaces, forced intimacy, accidentally finding out secrets, enemies and/or friends to lovers, masquerades or other types of hidden identities, going undercover, redemption for bad guys. If you have a trope in mind and it's not listed here, I probably like it but didn't think of it just now.
GENERAL DISLIKES:
Apart from DNWs, mostly AUs of the coffeeshop/highschool/band kind, or supernatural creatures like werewolves and winged humans in a fandom where they don't exist. Magical realism is always welcome, though. Not into genderswap and crossdressing, or overly sweet fluff (complete with cutesy nicknames) or focus on domesticity. Also, and this is very unlikely, maybe don't torture animals? I've recently noticed even fictional animal torture is bad for my head. People? No problem. Though I'm not into gore for the sake of gore.
OTHER FIC-RELATED INFO
I'm fine with any rating, from G to NC-17, and this goes for both sexual content and violence. I tend to prefer 3rd person POV, but 1st and 2nd person POVs aren't a problem if you feel the fic needs to be that way. Any tense goes. So basically, don't feel too restrained by stylistic choices. I'll read whatever you write. :) Well, except I twitch at then/than, your/you're, there/their/they're, to/too mix-ups. I can't help it.
Fandoms and characters under the cut in no particular order:
Sagaen om Isfolket | Legend of the Ice People - Margit Sandemo [Any: Heike, Ingrid, Targenor, Tiili, Tova]
Insatiable (TV 2018) [Bob Armstrong, Bob Barnard]
The Strain (TV) [Any: Dutch Velders, Ephraim Goodweather, Quinlan, Vasiliy Fet]
The Terror (TV 2018) [Francis Crozier]
Whitechapel (TV) [Emerson Kent, Joseph Chandler]
Dark Matter - Michelle Paver [Gus Balfour, Jack Miller]
