Nov. 20th, 2011 03:55 pmDear Yuletide Author,
First of all, thank you so incredibly for offering to write in one of these exceedingly rare fandoms! Please to follow your inspiration however it may hit you - all my suggestions are pretty much just guidelines, and I promise I will be totally delighted with whatever you choose to give me.
Some of the things that hit my cool-bits buttons include (but are not limited to): strong ladies, and ladies who are strong in different kinds of ways, and Bechdel Test-passing; ensemble-fic; sibling dynamics; found families; cross-dressing and gender-play; flawed characters working to overcome their flaws; complicated world-building; comedy balanced with tragedy and mundane details mixed in with dramatic events. As a sidenote, I also love crossovers like burning, so if you happen to get inspired by an amazing crossover idea, I totally encourage you to go with it.
I would prefer not to see character-bashing (especially towards female-characters), and although I'm happy to run with creepy or dark explorations of the universes, I'm generally not a fan of anything gratuitous. Basically, use your judgment!
( And now onto the specific requests! )
Most important of all: please have fun writing this story, and I promise that if you do, I will love it. THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance, and happy Yuletide!
