Dear Yuletide writer

Dear Yuletide writer,

It's been a while since I did Yuletide but here we are again! I tried to give as much information as possible in my sign-up details so there wouldn't necessarily be a need for a letter - especially when there's the app with nifty bookmarking - but here's one after all.

This is mostly a copy & paste of my sign-up with a bit of extra. No previously unmentioned surprise DNWs, though, I promise!

I'm Mimm on AO3 as well. I've allowed gifting and I adore treats. ♥

I know I keep saying I'm fairly easy to please but it's true. :) Just pick a prompt and go, or twist the prompt to your liking and make it better. Or ignore the prompts and go for a like! Or if you have a great idea of your own you feel fits the characters and you think I might be into it, then just avoid the DNWs and you're good to go. I read a variety of genres so even if I fail to prompt for a specific type or trope it doesn't necessarily mean I'm not into it. Fluffy, angsty, dark, heartwrenching, porny, moody, adventurous, introspective, silly, it's all good as long as it avoids my DNWs. I generally prefer a hopeful ending over a totally bleak one, but I like sad and bittersweet things too.

I've requested some of these before, so you could check my AutoAO3App for stuff I haven't added in previous letters. You can also check out my "dear writer" tag if you feel like it.


DNW:
Unrequested noncon between ship characters, domestic abuse between ship characters, daddy/mommy kink, pregnancy, focus on children, explicit sex involving <16s, highschool/band/coffeeshop/etc. AUs that drastically change the setting (unless it's a parallel universe that's part of the plot), A/B/O, bestiality, scat

I love m/m, so my likes and prompts tend to lean heavily towards shippiness and romance in general. Because there's no guarantee you're into m/m or romance, I'd also love strong friendshippiness. :) But in that case, please don't focus on other ships featuring my requested characters. Mentioning/referring to canonical ships is fine, of course, as long as they're not the focus. Also, please don't have the characters explicitly state that they'd never be into each other as more than just friends.

None of my DNWs are triggers, just things I'm not into, or I'm picky about them and don't want you to stress trying to figure out the exact way I like them.


LIKES:

Getting together, pining, first times, new experiences, new feelings

Touching, esp. if it's not intended as sexual/romantic at first, intentional or accidental

Complicated feelings/relationships, inner conflict, themes of guilt or shame, trust and reassurance

Friends/enemies to lovers, enemies joining forces to fight a villain/common enemy

Road trips, camping/hiking, everyday bonding moments

Emotional and physical hurt/comfort, forced closeness, casual intimacy

Tropey things like a convenient amnesia, snowed/caved in, undercover as a couple

Time loops, time travel, parallel stories (esp. fond of the Peggy Sue kind second chances)

Lighthearted and funny or darker and angsty or anything in between (yes, even during the holidays!)

Horror elements like ghosts, possessions, haunted things and places

These are ship-heavy, but you're welcome to take them into a gen/friendship direction as needed. I like all tenses, all POVs, all ratings for either sexual content or level of violence.

I have more specified likes & freeforms in my previous letters, but these are the gist of it.

These are in no particular order. Whatever spot it is or however short/long the section is, trust me when I say I want these all equally.

Bright (2017): Nick Jakoby, Daryl Ward
The Limehouse Golem (2016): George Flood, John Kildare
St. Elmo's Fire: Kevin Dolenz, Alec Newbarry
Matthias & Maxime (2019): Matthias Ruiz, Maxime Leduc
Hiacynt | Operation Hyacinth (2021): Arek Krajewski, Robert Mrozowski
