Dear Yuletide Author 2020

 

Hi Author!

 

Thank you for writing for me! I can be found, for stalking purposes, on AO3, Tumblr, and Twitter. 

 

I hope these ideas will help you along, but please feel free to ignore anything that doesn’t work for you, optional details are very much optional. If you have a different idea that you're dying to write, or if you don't feel like going in the direction of any of these prompts, don't worry! More than anything I want you to have fun writing for me, especially in such a hard year! 

 

That said, the few things I DNW are gore, very excessive violence (like detailed torture), graphic rape, A/B/O or mpreg.

Besides that, everything else is fair game! Any ratings, all categories (m/m, f/m, f/f), gen, poly relationships. 

 

Dubcon and impaired consent (sex pollen, drugged/drunk, fuck or die...) are okay, and I very much enjoy them, actually. I love UST and pining (mutual or truly unrequited). 

 

I really enjoy threesomes and multiple partners in general. I love found family dynamics and strong friendships. I also like AUs and tropey stories like woke up married, surprise baby, mind meld, fake dating, kidfic... I'm equally happy with both angst and fluff, as well as anything in between.

 

On the smut side, I'm okay with any kinks. Go wild! Tentacles, wings, exhibitionism/voyeurism, public or semi-public sex, fuck-buddy relationships; taking someone apart until they are overwhelmed; anything related to inadvisable sex (inappropriate person, inappropriate situation, inappropriate relationship, cheating, age difference, sleeping with an ex, and so on). 

 

This is very much not an exhaustive list, so no worries if you want to head in a different direction! I will enjoy the ride!

The Broken Earth Series - N. K. Jemisin 

 

Damaya | Essun | Syenite 

Innon (Broken Earth) 

Alabaster (Broken Earth) 

 

I love these books! They are so well done and the writing is so good! I especially enjoyed the small glimpse we got to see of Syen/Alabaster/Innon's lives in Meov, and would love more of it!

 

The book just skipped over so much of what I would've loved to read about how they found their eventual balance. I'm sure it wasn't fast or easy but, considering how different their personalities are, it must've been fascinating. I would love to see how they got to the point where they truly became a family and they were happy together, even if just for a while.

 

It could be the three of them figuring out how they fit together in or out of bed. It could be it-takes-a-village fic about how their family fits into Meov (or doesn't) and how others perceive them. I'd just like to see a bit more of that part of their lives and how they learned to heal together.

 

I would also be happy with any sort of AU involving them, be it canon divergence where everyone lives (or maybe just die in a different way) or in a completely different setting from the books. Just give me some more of them existing together and I will be super happy!

 

 

魔道祖师 | Módào Zǔshī (Cartoon)

 

Niè Míngjué (MDZS Cartoon) 

Lán Huàn | Lán Xīchén (MDZS Cartoon) 

Mèng Yáo | Jīn Guāngyáo (MDZS Cartoon) 

 

Since I first had contact with this canon in its many variations, I fell in love with Jin Guangyao and became consumed with the possibilities inherent in this OT3. The way Jin Guangyao makes himself the blind spot of the other two, at different points, is fascinating and I would love to see it explored further. How did he feel about them at different points on the story? How does Lan Xichen's kindness and trust affect him? What about Nie Mingjue's eventual distrust? Did he ever question his quest for vengeance because of it? 

 

Feel free to explore how the specifics of the donghua's characterization and plot might affect the outcome of his plans and their relationship in the future.

 

I ship them as a poly relationship and I would like to see how that could have changed their destinies, but if this is not your cup of tea I would also appreciate the platonic side of their dynamic and how they affect each other. 

 

I would love something about how Jin Guangyao could achieve the same goals of power and respect by seducing the two sect leaders into worshipping him and willingly giving him the tools to succeed, instead of JGY murdering everyone!

 

I’m also very onboard with any AU approach to their relationship, be it canon divergence or a completely different setting, especially if it features them coming together as a found family. 

 

 

Crooked Media RPF

 

Tommy Vietor 

Jon Favreau 

 

I love how they play off each other on the podcast and would love something centered on their dynamic and friendship. Especially something centered on their lives now, with all the baggage and trappings of their previous careers before Crooked Media.

 

I’m very onboard with a romantic or sexual approach to it, and would love to see their relationship explored in a setting where their wives and current lives exist as-is, with the added element of them being something more complex to each other than just good friends and coworkers, but if you are not comfortable including them, that is okay, just avoid bashing their wives in any way. 

 

If you choose to include them, I’m cool with any shape you decide to give to it, infidelity, an “open secret” they don’t talk about, open relationship, poly… You can make their wives as aware of it or as involved as you wish. 

 

I would also love anything that explores the changes in their relationship through the years, platonic or not. They had such similar trajectories; what it was like to have each other as one constant through it all? Did their feelings and needs ever diverge from each other? Did it lead to conflict? Does it become too much eventually?

 

I love second chance stories, and would enjoy reading something about them having been involved in the past in a relationship that didn’t work out and coming back together later in life. 

 

Feel free to include current events or not. This is a harsh and weird year and if you would have more fun ignoring reality I will also enjoy any AUs that put them in a different setting.
