Yuletide Letter 2023
Dear Yuletide Writer,
Thank you for agreeing to write a story for me. I’m sure it will be great. Since you probably don’t know me, I guess I should tell you a little bit about my likes/dislikes.
Likes: I usually prefer gen, especially focusing on platonic and familial relationships. I’m interested in found families, biological families, younger siblings, sidekicks, clones with identity issues, friends who become lovers and friends who don’t. I like crossovers and AUs which reveal interesting aspects of the characters. I enjoy outsider POVs, unreliable narrators, and women being well rounded human beings. I enjoy a good character study and have serious respect for ones with actual plot since that’s something I tend to struggle with. The thing I am really looking for in my Yuletide present is a nice kick in the feels.
Dislikes: I am not into romantic plots and tropes, or graphic sex. I’m not entirely opposed to romance, but I prefer it not to be the focus of the story. I have a huge embarrassment/humiliation squick and issues with infidelity, so please avoid those.
I’m not interested in anything seasonal or holiday-related. No smut please, either. Thanks again for your sure-to-be-awesome fic.
Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis: Polly Churchill, Colin Templer
This is my go-to series when I need to restore my faith in humanity. I am looking for a story which makes me feel the way the books do: a little sad, but ultimate hopeful and a little uplifted. Remind me that love transcends time and death and make me cry while you do it. Blackout/All Clear are my favorite books of the series, but Doomsday Book is the one I read when I need a good cry. Crossovers with this series are always welcome, but I think this year I’d like something about integrating back and grief inherent in time travel.
Fox’s Tongue and Kirin’s Bone: Aaron, Aaron’s Death, Rose O’Shea, Lady Adelaide Sung
This series kind of ate my brain lately. I would love something exploring Aaron’s complicated relationship with the Lady and how it sort of mirrors his relationship with the wolf who raised/owned him. Something involving Death and the associated world building would also be amazing. Rose is my second favorite character in the series and anything about her and her relationships with Aaron, her family, or whoever would be lovely too.
My Adventures With Superman: Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen
This show is so delightful and charming. I love the relationships between the core three. The show primarily focuses on the budding romance between Lois and Clark, but I’d love something looking at Jimmy and Clark’s friendship, or Jimmy and Lois, maybe with a side order of how him knowing the secret she’s investigating impacts that.
