Yuletide 2023
Oct. 11th, 2023 11:08 pm
Dear Writer:
Happy Yuletide! I hope the season and rest of the year are good to you and let me just say that no one could be happier that you signed up for Yuletide this year than me. I hope you receive the fic(s) of your dreams and that you have fun and enjoy writing for me.
In general, in terms of types of stories that I enjoy, I am pretty easy to please and my tastes are pretty broad all things considered. Generally though, I do prefer stories with some sort of plot or arc to them over introspective/character studies or world-building exercises, tho wrapping either of those into a story with plot is fine. I also appreciate good “setting as character” stories or some sort of meta-narrative. But in general I just like things to happen. That said I want you to enjoy and love the fic you write so if get hit by a really good fic you want to write for any of my requests below, I would say go for that, even if I don’t specifically prompt it (unless it hits a DNW).
I generally prefer middle to the road between angst and fluff, with maybe slightly more angst. I just need there to be some tension and characters acting like humans and prone to human folly than characters who say all the right things and do the right things. I am always a fan of a hot mess express.
A non-exhaustive list of tropes/plot arcs I enjoy (in no particular order):
Mutual Pining | Time Travel |
Enemies/Rivals to Lovers/Friends/Partners | Epistolary |
Fall for the Mark | Angst |
Cosmic Horror | Bittersweet or Complicated Endings |
Heists | Interesting Settings |
Arranged/Fake Marriage | Canon Divergence |
Melodrama | Friends w/ Benefits |
Again there is tons more and I am open to a whole lot of stuff that I cannot even think of at the moment.
Again I am pretty open and am hesitant to just say a blanket no to fully but here my due no wants in terms of fic:
Omegaverse | Outright Non!Con or Sexual Assault* |
Cancer/COVID/Sick!Lit | Anything involving Bile, Feces, Urine |
Pregnancy/Kid!fic | De-aging** |
Pure Fluff, Domesticity or Curtain!fic | Death of a Requested Character |
Slave!fic | Adult/Minor |
Race!Play | References to Current Events/Politics |
1st & 2nd POV**** | Crossovers |
* Dub!con is generally fine in terms of stuff like alcohol/drugs, sex pollen, “in heat” scenarios so long as it all parties agree they are fine with it or were intending consent. There can be a question of consent that is resolved. I just don’t want an outright assault.
** Flashbacks to childhood are fine, but the majority of the fic the characters should either be their canonical ages or aged up unless otherwise prompted by me.
*** Exception would be for Epistolary fic. If not epistolary, than no First or Second POV
In terms of Porn/NSFW, outside of the stuff listed above I am open to anything and with regards to language, I prefer a balance (not too clinical, not too flowery), but would prefer to refrain from using a lot of euphemisms. At the end of the day, I am more concerned with the emotions and what it does for the character and story than I am with the acts and description of genitals.

Length of details or the absence or amount of prompts given is not a sign of order of preference of fandoms. I would be equally happy with fic for any of these canons, I am just wordier with some than others.
Prompts are mere idea starters and are non-exhaustive. Just to give you an idea if you need it, but if you have another idea that is not listed below, please feel free to pursue it regardless of whether I specifically prompt it or not.s
