Yuletide Letter 2018

I've had to take a few years off from Yuletide, but this year my work schedule has changed and I'm so excited to be able to participate! Thank you for writing for me, author, I know I will love whatever you come up with.

First of all, some general likes and dislikes. I love stories which take the characters and move them on just a little bit, either in our understanding of them (or their understanding of themselves) or in some kind of character-development way. I love plot -- I adore capers and hijinks, although obviously I don't expect that kind of story at Yuletide. In terms of pairings, I am equally fond of het, m/m and f/f, but (with one specific exception noted in the request) I DNW explicit sexual content. I also am very happy to read gen for any of the requests below; I've often chosen a single character because I like them for themselvesas well as with a whole range of potential partners. I've noted particular OTPs and NOTPs in the requests below, for each fandom.

I love relationships which are all about people coming together as equals, whether that's as lovers or enemies or both. And this takes me to my main DNW: any kind of D/s or related dynamics, including A/B/O and seme/uke. This includes teacher/student or master/apprentice type relationships. I also DNW incest and AUs not set in the canon universe.

This year's Yuletide theme is clearly "complicated women." See further:
