Dear Yuletide Santa
Nov. 13th, 2009 04:51 pmHello!
I love you already. You may feel free to ignore this letter, or to pick and choose any details you like and discard others. You are writing me a story! That's really all that matters.
I've written several meta posts about the sort of things that I love in stories. You can use these for inspiration, if you like:
My Top 10 Story Kinks
My favorite 'cool bits'
What I look for in OTPs
If you're interested, my own stories are collected here.
In general: I really admire any story that can do plot and/or humor well, because I personally am bad at those things. On the other hand, I also like character studies, poetic language, angst, or introspection, which is why I write them. I like dark themes and happy endings (though probably not in the same story). I like fun stories, but not fluff. I like nuances (hmm, that is probably the worst request ever. I like it when authors complicate things?). Do not feel obligated to include Christmas (or whatever fantasy-equivalent winter holiday is appropriate to the fandom), but if you want to, feel free. My dislikes include OOC, even for the sake of humor. I'm not terribly fond of lots of sap or schmoop. I don't like songfic? Man, dislikes are hard. In short, I will almost certainly have forgotten what I requested by December, and will be pleased with any story you write. Thank you in advance!
