Dear Yuletide Author Letter
27 Oct 2012 05:13 pmDear Yuletide Author,
Thank you for writing for of my fandoms! I tend to request obscure little fandoms with little or no fic, so rest assured that I will be thrilled to bits with whatever you choose to write. I go into more detail below on my general likes and squicks. I'd ask that, should you read the below and find that you don't especially want to write anything vaguely related to these prompts, you write something that you are comfortable with. In other words - the below is meant to help, not flummox. :)
Stuff I like:
1. Gen, slash, het, femslash, whatever. I’ve requested pairings in my prompts below, but if any of the pairings don't work for you, rest assured that I would be equally happy with strong words across the room as I would be with a steamy sex scene.
2. Plot! I do love me some plot. Failing that, angst!
3. Dialogue. Words! Words in people’s mouths! People having opinions, and arguments, and snarking at each other!
4. First-times in shippy fic. I tend to be less interested in a couple after they have been happily settled or wrapped up in each other, and a lot more interested in how couples get together.
5. Conflict. I like change in fic - change in relationships, change in preconceptions, change in situation, good old-fashion action-adventure - and having characters disagree or take opposing sides. I'm not generally a fan of schmoop, smarm or fluff.
6. Protectiveness / family / team feelings.
Stuff I don't like:
1. Chan, shota, underage, however you term it. I have trouble with anything below the age of consent (16 where I live);
2. Non-con, rape. I sometimes read it, but it's rare, and I normally find it very difficult to read.
3. Character-bashing. If I've nominated a fandom I tend to love all the characters.
4. The common sex-based squicks - chan as mentioned, also scat, watersports, snuff, etc. I'm also not a fan of alpha/beta/omega fic, knotting, mpreg, etc.
5. Yuletide-specific "do not like" (i.e. I like them fine outside of Yuletide, but not in Yuletide): crossovers, metafic, author inserts, breaking the fourth wall.
My requested fandoms this year are:
( Seafort Saga - David Feintuch )
*
( Formula 1 RPF )
*
( Great British Bake Off RPF )
*
( Top Gear (UK) RPF )
