the word in language is half someone else's

Hello, beloved Yuletider!  As ever, Optional Details Are Optional, but if you would like something more to go on, here are a few thoughts.

Generally, I don't care for: major character death, pining that doesn't get resolved, infidelity, rape, torture and abuse, high levels of gore, incest.

Generally, I like: gender weirdness, worldbuilding, snappy dialogue & banter, domesticity, teams, found families, smart and competent characters, characters who BECOME smarter and more competent over the course of the story, absurdly codependent bff pairings, absurdly codependent frenemies-turned-relucatant-allies-turned-lovers pairings, outsider POV, pining that gets resolved, bodyswap, telepathy, fucking around with gender, fake dating / pretending to be married / woke up married, nonsexual intimacy, cuddling (for warmth or otherwise), characters taking care of each other, negotiation of kinks, characters being awkward about their kinks but then finding a partner who validates and supports them, shenanigans.

( Specific Fandoms: Worlds Beyond Number, Darling & the Cinderella Club, Sins of the Cities, England series, Nimona )

In conclusion: I like hot ladies in charge of shit! And also dumb shenanigans. soundslikej is a good guide to whether or not I'll like a thing, but on the whole, I'm pretty easy to please.

Hello, Yuletider! We've matched on a fandom, so clearly you are a person of excellent taste and judgment; furthermore, you're writing a story! For me! And I will love it no matter what, but in case you are looking for guidelines:

Generally, I don't care for: death, pining that doesn't get resolved, rape, torture and abuse, incest.

Generally, I like: shenanigans, worldbuilding, snappy dialogue, domesticity, porn, teams, stories about characters teaching and learning, stories about making the world a better place, found families, smart and competent characters, absurdly codependent bff pairings, outsider POV, pining that gets resolved, roadtrips, bodyswap, telepathy, fucking around with gender, cross-dressing, fake dating / pretending to be married, historical retellings, cuddling (for warmth or otherwise), characters taking care of each other, negotiation of kinks, threesomes and moresomes, open relationships negotiated well, shenanigans. ALL OF THE TROPES, GIVE THEM TO ME.

( Specifically: Metropolis Suites, Indexing, The Unusuals, Elementary )

As ever, soundslikej is a good resource on things I will and will not enjoy, but honestly I'm pretty easy. Also, if you're not feeling the fandom we matched on, none of these are particularly extensive canons - Elementary is just starting its second season; The Unusuals only ever had one season; Indexing is a shortish novel, published serially on Amazon; and the Metropolis Suites are a pair of amazing albums. Feel free to branch out! ...you could even cross any of these four over, and that would ALSO be amazing.

Oh, yuletider! first off, you are always and forever my favorite for offering to write in any one of these fandoms, and I will be 100% delighted by whatever you write, because it will be a story! for me! I may or may not be able to comment when Yuletide actually goes live, for reasons of family, but rest assured that I will be INCREDIBLY pleased regardless.

So, no pressure! but if you're looking for some guidelines...

Generally, I don't care for: death, pining that doesn't get resolved, rape, torture and abuse, incest.

Generally, I like: shenanigans, snappy dialogue, domesticity, porn, teams, stories about characters teaching and learning, stories about making the world a better place, stories about found families, stories about local government, stories with kittens in them, stories with babies in them, smart and competent characters, characters who have to make difficult decisions, absurdly codependent bff pairings, outsider POV, obliviousness, awkwardness, pining that gets resolved, roadtrips, bodyswap, telepathy, fucking around with gender, cross-dressing, fake dating / pretending to be married, epistolary fic, libraries, historical retellings, cuddling (for warmth or otherwise), characters taking care of each other, any character that could ever be described as 'longsuffering', negotiation of kinks, threesomes and moresomes, open relationships negotiated well, stories with sex toys in them, shenanigans. ALL OF THE TROPES, GIVE THEM TO ME.

( Specifically: The Unusuals, The Darkangel Trilogy, Pitch Perfect, Tomboy )

As ever, if you have any questions, soundslikej is a good reference point for things I will and will not like. And if you're not feeling inspired on the fandom that we've been matched in, let me remind you that Tomboy and Pitch Perfect are both relatively short movies - Tomboy is on Netflix, last I checked - The Unusuals is a really short TV series, and the Darkangel Trilogy is a 3-book YA series! And all of them are awesome pieces of media in their own right. You have options, is what I'm saying. And also, THANK YOU. ♥!

Hi! Just to get this out of the way, I love you really a whole lot, and anything you will write for me in any of these fandoms will make my year. So, you know. No pressure! I am really phenomenally easy.

Generally:

I don't care for: death, pining that doesn't get resolved, rape, torture and abuse.

I like: shenanigans, snappy dialogue, domesticity, porn, teams, stories about characters teaching and learning, stories about making the world a better place, stories with kittens in them, stories with babies in them, outsider POV, obliviousness, awkwardness, pining that gets resolved, roadtrips, bodyswap, genderswap, epistolary fic, libraries, historical retellings, cuddling (for warmth or otherwise), characters taking care of each other, threesomes and moresomes, stories with sex toys in them, shenanigans.

...Obviously some of these work better in some fandoms than in others, but, hey! If you really want to write me Fitz/Fool roadtrip fic, go for it!

( Specifically: Castle, B13, Darkangel Trilogy, Farseer Trilogy )

In conclusion: SHENANIGANS ENSUE is basically my favorite plot summary ever, the end.

So there was a yuletide! And I participated this year, which I never had before, and it was simultaneously terrifying and awesome, but mostly awesome! Especially once I remembered that, oh, hey, somebody's writing a story for me, too!

That story was A Measure of Devotion, by blackclaude, and it was amaaaaaaaaazing. *flails and glees* It's Whip It! fic, and it's Bliss! and Pash! being loldorably codependent and slightly faily (but ultimately triumphant!) bffs-in-love! ♥

I also wrote a story, with much tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth, and that story was always, division, for The City & The City, written for tronella. It was...not really the fandom I would have chosen to write—apparently this is the Yuletide way?—because lol intimidatingly involved worldbuilding, but in the end I was pretty pleased with the result! Morbid and creepifying for the win! :D? :D?

And, yes. Happy yuletide, everybody, and whatever other holidays you celebrate. I myself am celebrating today with LAZINESS; tomorrow will be a festival of SHENANIGANS and gay movies and dooting around in the outside world (where there is SNOW! *_____* ).
