Dear Yuletide Writer

[lesyeuxverts]

Seriously, I do. I will love anything that you write for me. I'm SO thrilled by the thought of receiving a fic in any one of these fandoms, I will love you no matter what you write for me!

Speaking of love ... in fic, I love all variations on it. Unrequited love, angsty love, unconditional love, any sort. I don't require that the characters *be* in love, and I personally love gen, too, so no worries there! But love is great if you want to write that. :)

I like happy endings, angsty endings, ambiguous endings, make-you-have-to-think endings ... you see? I'm going to love anything you write for me, absolutely anything!

Okay. If you want something more specific than "love" and "a story with an ending," here are some other things that I like! Just for inspiration's sake -- if they do inspire you -- feel free to use any or none of the following!

Kinks: Plot, especially character-driven plot, realism, relationship angst (infidelity, jealousy, possessiveness, break-ups/unrequited love, forced bonding, misunderstandings), stories told backwards, time travel (especially if it is to an unusual time), AU, hurt/comfort, exploring the limits of unconditional love, obsessive love, dystopia, redemption, and flipped clichés

Smutty kinks, if you feel like writing something a little naughty: cross-dressing, light bondage, UST, tenderness, first time, wall!sex, flirtation, courtship/seduction, public or semi-public sex, voyeurism

Squicks: Mpreg, chan under 16, incest, hate-sex, heavy BDSM, torture, watersports, scat, saccharine endings, beastiality, suicide and self-harm, extreme fluff, crack, non-con and dub-con, student/teacher, vampires and werewolves, major OOC-ness, magic or deus ex machina as a plot device, men who cry, lots of pain, unrelenting angst, cross-overs

I really hope you have fun writing for me! If you find that you're not having fun, then please just burn this list and chuck the details in my request out the window, and just write something that you love. It's always great when a writer loves the story that they wrote, and I think it shows in the final work and makes it even more awesome than an act of creativity is to start out with.
