Hi! I'm sulfate (also at pyrophane) and first of all, thank you so much for participating. I'm so excited to see what you create. I’ve written some prompts, but by no means do you have to include all or any of them—so long as you steer clear of my DNWs, if you have a particular idea you’re burning to explore, please go for it. Feel free to spin something entirely out of my likes list and disregard the prompts as well.

You can find me elsewhere on twitter ennezahard or highrankership, on tumblr delineative, and on my other dreamwidth rhodochrosite.

Treats of any kind and length are welcome ❤️

You can find me elsewhere on twitter ennezahard or highrankership, and on tumblr delineative. If you’re really stuck, my previous Yuletide letters can be found in this tag—if the prompts for any of those fandoms are striking a chord, I’d be happy to receive fic for them instead. The most important thing is that you have fun writing the rare fandoms we both adore!

Hi! This is AO3 user pyrophane, and first of all, thank you so much for participating! I’ll love your fic no matter what you write, so please don’t feel pressured ❤️ I’ve written some prompts, and a list of tropes/narrative devices I enjoy, but by no means do you have to include all or any of them – if you have a particular idea you’re burning to write, go for it! Also, I've grouped ships together for ease of discussion, but you definitely don't have to include all of them in the same work.

• unusual/experimental prose style and structure
• worldbuilding, histories (canonical or invented), strong sense of setting
• mentorships
• girls
• pining and repressed feelings, repressed characters finally admitting what it is that they want
• power dynamics
• unhealthy relationships
• relationship dynamics that are difficult to define but deeply felt
• sparring
• physicality and nonverbal communication
• clashing worldviews
• leader/second-in-command dynamics, loyalty kink
• references to backstory events or other canons (I love crossover cameos!)
• rarepairs, minor characters, multishipping, friendships, ensemble casts, characters having relationships beyond the central ship
• legacies
• wound care
• polyamory negotiations
• light imagery
• dreams

• pre-canon and futurefic
• missing-scene fic
• post-apocalyptic roadtrips
• canon divergence
• enemies to friends where there's still some form of legitimate rivalry or resentment (to lovers optional)
• friends who could have been lovers to enemies (to lovers optional)
• espionage AU, casefic, fakeout makeouts, undercover as a couple
• lotus-eater machines
• magical realism, urban fantasy, general magic/fantasy/witchcraft AU
• time loops

NSFW likes (see here for more details):

• breathplay/choking
• consensual violence
• D/s undertones, undernegotiated or non-negotiated D/s
• focus on hands/wrists/throats/collarbones
• pretty much just throats in general
• authority kink and power dynamics
• multiple partners
• edging
• basically, if it involves the combination of violence and tenderness/intimacy, I'm in!

• content rating
• implied and background pairings, unless specifically mentioned (you can find a complete list of my ships here!)
• multishipping, polyshipping
• genre
• plot/lack thereof and endings
• presence of other characters, nominated or not, unless specifically mentioned

• plotless fluff
• scat, watersports, etc
• graphic medical experimentation
• romance-related jealousy, infidelity
• noncon
• formal BDSM
• pwp -- porn is great but I'd prefer if it wasn't the only thing in the fic (... unless it involves breathplay)
• public humiliation
• fic centred on kids/pregnancy/marriage
• graphic descriptions of unsanitary situations

ETA 14/12: I'll be overseas around the time of work reveals and may not have access to internet, but I'll do my best to read and enthuse before author reveals!

Dear Yuletide author,

First of all, thank you so much for participating! Rest assured that I'll love your fic no matter what you write, so please don't feel pressured :) I've written some prompts, and a list of tropes/narrative devices I enjoy, but by no means do you have to include all or any of them – if you have a particular idea you're burning to write, go for it! I'm a very long-winded person, so I apologise for the length of this letter, but absolutely feel free to disregard all of it if you know what you want to write. Also, the length of the prompts isn't reflective of levels of enthusiasm; I would be equally as delighted to receive fic for any of my requested fandoms!

You can also find some of the fics I've liked here. If you're really stuck, a more comprehensive list of my fandoms and ships can be found here, and last year's Yuletide letter can be found here – if the prompts for any of those fandoms (except Wicked Lovely, please, as I received a wonderful fic for it last year!) are striking a chord, I'd be more than happy to receive fic for them instead. The most important thing is that you have fun writing the rare fandoms we both adore!

• bullying played for laughs
• soulmate AUs played straight

• graphic descriptions of unsanitary situations

Tropes/AUs I love:

• magical realism/mundane superpowers AU
• fake dating/undercover as married
• Pacific Rim AU, especially with unconventional jaeger teams
• HDM daemons AU

Dear Yuletide author,

First of all, thank you so much for participating! Rest assured that I'll love your fic no matter what you write, so please don't feel pressured :) I've written some prompts, and a list of tropes/narrative devices I enjoy, but by no means do you have to include all or any of them - if you have a particular idea you're burning to write, go for it! You can also find some of the fics I've liked here. If you're really stuck, a more comprehensive list of my fandoms and ships can be found here. The most important thing is that you have fun writing the rare fandoms we both adore!

Things I like in fic: unusual or experimental prose styles; worldbuilding, histories (whether canonical or not), and a strong sense of setting; inclusion of minor characters/ensemble casts; mentor-mentee dynamics; ideological clashes; the exploration of unorthodox relationships between characters, especially if they are not shown interacting much in canon; relationship dynamics that are difficult to define, especially if non-romantic; allusions to mythology; non-linear narration; subtle references to backstory events; stealthy cameos from other fandoms; physicality and nonverbal communication; polyamory negotiations

Other tropes/AUs I love, if you aren't feeling the prompts: MAGICAL REALISM/MUNDANE SUPERPOWER AUS; pacific rim aus (especially with unconventional jaeger teams!); fake dating; canon divergence aus; enemies to friends (to lovers optional) while still retaining some form of legitimate rivalry/resentment; espionage aus; subverted soulmate aus (ie multiple soulmates, soulmates who aren't necessarily romantic, not everyone having a soulmate and that being completely normal etc); pre-canon fic; futurefic; HDM fusions

Things I have no preference on: content rating; implied and background pairings (unless specifically mentioned); multishipping; genre; plot/lack thereof and endings

Things I would prefer you didn't include: pwp; excessive fluff; graphically described eye horror; excising other influential relationships the characters in the main ship have experienced; noncon, A/B/O, watersports, and other heavy kinks; kids, pregnancy or marriage as the main focus of the fic; bullying played for laughs; soulmate aus played straight (ie all soulmates are romantic, everyone has One True Soulmate, all the biologically imperative stuff, the implication that you need a romantic 'other half' to be complete etc)
