Dear Yuletide Author 2017
Oct. 8th, 2017 11:15 amDear Yuletide Author,
Hi! Thanks for participating in Yuletide! It is my favorite thing.
(ETA: Hey, Author -- I didn't expect matches to happen so fast, and I've since tweaked a few things in this letter as of 10/13. I won't edit further, though.)
Preferences: I like all kinds of stories, and I'm not troubled by any kind of violent or sexual subjects. If you have a story in mind that is transgressive in some way, and you're worried about how I might react: good news, I like literary transgressions, listen to your muse and go wild.
(Of course, I also like non-transgressive stories, so if your muse wants you to write about platonic high-fives, yes, do it, I will love it!)
In essence: write the story that you want to write.
General Things I Like: Conflicted-but-loving sibling relationships; eccentric families of choice; slow-burn romances; overly invested mentors; sardonic work spouses; the arousing qualities of competence and empathy; and fuck-ups and the forgiveness of those fuck-ups.
Past Yuletide Letters (on Livejournal):
2007 / 2008 / 2009 / 2012 / 2013 / 2015 / 2016
( Specific Requests: Banner Saga, Logan Lucky, The Proposal, Atomic Blonde, and Final Fantasy VI )
