dear yuletide author

It's that time again! THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.

Dearest, darlingest Yuletide writer: odds are pretty good I am going to be delighted with whatever you write. There are some specific things I would love to see, but by no means should you feel bound by those suggestions; I wouldn't have asked for these fandoms if I didn't love a ton of things about them. So don't worry. You got this.

( Top Ten (comic) )

( Pushing Daisies )

( Matilda )

( WWII RPF )

( Pleasantville )

So those are the fandoms. I would ask that you not write anything super dark, as these are all things I enjoy because they are fairly light-hearted; if you do write anything explicit I should note that I am not a fan of dubious consent or power imbalances. Other than that, go nuts. I am fond of a wide variety of tropes, including but not limited to mistaken identities, secret identity shenanigans of all kinds, fish-out-of-water stories, unexpected superpowers, outsider perspectives, found families, teams forming in adverse circumstances and succeeding despite the odds. I love worldbuilding, and will cheerfully roll around forever in the details of a well-built world. I would be equally happy with gen, het, or slash (although I have to admit I would be slightly startled by anything but gen for Matilda). I am almost guaranteed to like whatever you write, and I am already grateful to you for writing it. Thank you in advance!
