Dear Yuletide Author - 2021
Oct. 16th, 2021 11:51 amHello Yuletide writer!
Yuletide is one of my highlights of the year - what's better to avoid the summer heat (I'm an Aussie) than staying indoors and writing/reading stories? First off, I want you to enjoy yourself, so if you have an AMAZING IDEA then please go ahead and write it! These are just some starting points if you want inspiration :)
( Hawkeye, Valerian, LH Booksellers, Saga, Fence )
In general:
I like humour (dark or light), wordplay, clever people being clever, worldbuilding, action and so on. I like playing around with genre tropes and good old-fashioned romance/friendship/family feels. Any crossovers/AUs/gen/slash/het you feel like throwing in there is fine!
I don't like explicit torture descriptions, or extensive sex scenes - people getting hurt or horny is fine, but please avoid graphic details. I do prefer happy or at least bittersweet endings (but I won't be devastated if your story demands something else!)
You can look at my AO3 bookmarks/stories to see what I like (or my journal, but it's been neglected lately...) Thank you for sharing my love of these fandoms, dear writer - have fun! Happy Yuletide!
