Dear Yuletide author
Oct. 7th, 2017 03:32 pmHello author, and thank you for signing up for one of these tiny and wonderful fandoms!
My Yuletide letters get shorter every year, because I keep getting pleasantly surprised by gifts I didn't think to prompt, which makes the prompts feel kind of tangential to the process. I often say that I'm mostly interested in gen, but I've spent this year reading a lot of large-fandom tropey romance (this is how I found Course of Honour in the first place). I still like gen, and I think gen is the most likely interpretation of these prompts, but if you want to write any of these characters a love story that could be awesome. I like ponderous thinky fic and I like fic that's all about feelings. I don't mind if you want to write in first, second or third person, or the past or present or future tense. I don't have any triggers. I'd rather not read about rape or murder--in general for any of these fandoms, I'd say let's not vastly exceed the level of violence included in canon. But sad stories, or stories about troubling things and things going wrong and life being hard, are A-OK.
