vivienOh, Yuletide Author, you are a wonderful person. Thank you for writing for my story!
I requested:
I am very excited, as I am every year, about Yuletide. I skipped last year because of reasons, and I am glad to be back! I am pretty easy to write for. My sign up descriptions gave you some specific details you need, but
I love character development. I love when characters learn something from each other and when their strengths and weaknesses complement each other, whether they are in a relationship or not.
I enjoy het, gen, and slash. If it's well-written and the relationship makes sense, I will ship it. I have no qualms with violence or action scenes as long as they - and here is my constant refrain - make sense within the context of the story. Same thing with explicit sex. I adore hurt/comfort, romance, adventure, hijinks, silliness, and true love. I do not care for m-preg, overly fluffy fluff (a little fluff is perfectly fine!), graphic blood and guts (including graphic torture), or harm to children or animals. I do have grammar and spelling pet peeves, but as long as someone proofreads your work, that will not be an issue.
From a meme a while back, here are my Top Five Bulletproof Tropes:
* Damaged Person and their One in Five Billion - I am a sucker for this story. Mulder and Scully are first I think of. Platonic couples work just fine with this trope, but I am
* Oh My God We're Doomed, But We Can Still Laugh About It - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, yup. Quirky humor always pleases me.
* This Is All Pretend, But There Is Realism Here! - I may adore fantasy and odd AUs, but only when things make sense in the context of real human interactions.
* There Is a Hidden World Where You Least Expect It - Um, just about everything I love has this trope.
* Handsome But Troubled Villains/Anti-Heroes Who Just Need To Be Loved! - Ahem. Is anyone really surprised?
Have fun, Yuletide Author, and thank you in advance!
