yuletide 2015
Oct. 21st, 2015 09:13 amDear 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)
