Yuletide 2018
Oct. 20th, 2018 08:52 pmDear author, I'm so excited you're writing something for me!

I am generally pretty flexible with the things I like. Gen, het, femslash and slash are all awesome! Character-driven stories are awesome, plot-driven stories are awesome, explicit porn is awesome, G-rated fluff with hand-holding is awesome, angst and bleakness are awesome, happy endings are awesome, humor is awesome, domesticity is awesome! Etc.
A few of my favourite things are adventures, politics, worldbuilding, banter and humour, stoic girls with feeeeelings, road trips (spaceship trips... actual ship trips... etc), female antiheroes or villains with complex motivations, enemies forced to work together by circumstance, reluctant heroes, found families, unexpected/unconventional happy endings, tragedies that are more-or-less inevitable given the nature of the individuals involved, and people living in less-than-ideal or even actively hostile situations who manage to carve out some kind of happiness despite that, but by no means feel obligated to include any of these things!
Dislikes
I don't have any major DNWs and am ok with dubcon/noncon, violence, character death, etc - provided that it is warned for up front - though I would prefer that stories do not focus solely on trauma/horror/violence, and if these do come up as part of the story, I am more interested in the lead up and the aftermath than in dragging out the details of the act itself.
For these fandoms, I am not very interested in the kind of AU where characters are in a completely different universe where they are pirates or cowgirls or something. AUs that explore the ramifications of a change to canon (what if character x survived/won the battle/etc instead) are always fascinating to me, however - I absolutely adore stories that really go into the details of a scenario like this! "If X changed, what would be the consequences?" is a question that I always love to see explored.
On to the fandoms! I requested:
( Alliance/Union universe - C J Cherryh )
( Alexander trilogy - Mary Renault )
( Nirvana in Fire )
( Lord Peter Wimsey series - Dorothy Sayers )
Thank you!
