Dear Yuletide Writer,

Thank you so much for offering to write a story for me! Especially in these ultra rare fandoms. I'm really keen to see what you do in them! I've provided some prompts in case you get stuck for ideas, but please don't feel constrained to follow them. I'd be happy to go with anything that captures your imagination.

For me, it's about the characters and their relationships. Feel free to bend canon details, as long as the personalities and dynamics ring true. These people have powerful feelings about each other, and that's what sparks my interest in them. I want to see the moments in between scenes, or the adventures that might have been.

Some of the things I enjoy in stories are: undying loyalty, personal bravery, big damn hero moments, special everyday moments, subtle tension, conversations loaded with unspoken meaning, tough people showing a soft side, and soft people showing a tough side. I also enjoy clichefic (amnesia! bodyswap! stranded!) and alternate universes (where something happened differently in canon). But if the story that grabs you isn't about any of these, that's perfectly fine, run with it!

I'm a slash fan, but I also enjoy het and gen. Any rating is fine. However, I'm much more interested in story than PWPs.

I'm an optimist at heart, and I'm not keen on anything that is brutally violent or depressingly bleak. However, I don't mind darkness as long as there is a glimmer of light.

I hope this helps. Have fun writing!

Yours sincerely,
