Dear Yuletide Writer
Oct. 13th, 2013 09:32 pmHello! Welcome! And thanks for being my writer!
What I want most is for you to have a good time writing the story, so if you have an idea of your own, please do go for it. Optional Details Are Optional, and letter details are the most optionalest of them all.
But if it would be useful, here are some of my general preferences:
I prefer slash if I can get it, but for me slash doesn't automatically equal porn. For me it's about the depth of the bond between the characters, the discovery of a startling and unexpected intimacy. I like a subtle, nuanced, gradual approach, the characters getting closer maybe even despite themselves, and figuring things out as they go.
Some of the tropes and approaches I enjoy: happy or at least hopeful endings, words that camouflage deeper/unspoken meanings, showing over telling, extreme competence (but with honest weakness), characters with a protective shell that the other character finds their way into even just a bit, hurt/comfort, chosen families, partners against the world.
And here are further thoughts on the fandoms I requested, in alphabetical order...
( 1. I Spy )
( 2. Peacemakers )
( 3. Sinbad (TV) )
( 4. The Sting (1973) )
