learoxyDear Yuletide Writer
Hey, thanks for picking my small fandoms to write about! This is my first year, and I'm very excited to receive your amazing work as well as putting in some work of my own! You're awesome, we're awesome, this is awesome, let's do this.
Some Likes: Holiday settings, quiet moments, hurt/comfort, animal shifters, pack dynamics, family dynamics, light mystery, adventure, action, fluid combat, fluff, slice-of-life between the action, bantering, enemies to lovers, reconciliation, cuddling, platonic affection, healing from grief
Kinks: silly sex (when people are just being sloppy and having fun- tripping over clothes, accidentally elbowing each other, making a mess and cleaning up after; a little realism), showering together, enthusiastic consent, experimenting, roleplay, sensory play, make up sex
DNWs: extreme downer endings (like I'm fine with something bittersweet or ambiguous, or even just sad, but things that drag on and on in the negative most of the story, never get better, and end at the worst low point- not a fan), forced miscommunication, incest, underage sex, excessive gore, adult/minor sexual or romantic relationships, noncon or rape (dubcon is fine), domestic violence or abuse (fine in mention or brief moments, but not in detail)
Okay, to the fun stuff! FANDOMS:
Disney Fairies: I adore the Tinker Bell movies. I think they're cute, fun, have great music and enjoyable stories. For this request, I wanted to focus on a specific wlw, noncanon couple that I feel like deserves more love, Fawn x Nyx. While Fawn is in all of the Tinker Bell films, Nyx is only present at the forefront of Legend of the Neverbeast (also my favorite of the films). They give me soft enemies to lovers kind of vibes, I think there's this grounds of mutual respect, and they'd make a good couple. I'd love a romantic story about their relationship at any given point. It doesn't need to stay in universe, AU and crossover content is welcome. Leaning more romance than sexual, but some spice is also welcome.
Twokinds: I've been following along to this webcomic for longer than I care to recall, and have a lot of love for it. I enjoy the vibrant world that's been built, the love the creator has put into it, and just how exceptional the art has become in it's near twenty years. For my request, I want the writer to explore it! I chose worldbuilding as one of my characters for this reason specifically. Lady Nora is an interesting and somewhat elusive character in the story, and speculating more about her and the role she plays, as well as other dragons in the world, is a fun idea to me. Keith and Natani are both strong characters on their own, but I find their dynamic particularly compelling together. Exploring their relationship, possible pasts, or potential futures are all something I'd be down to read about. As I'll have in my optional details box, it's not necessary for you to write about all four of the requested characters. For this, I request staying in world, so no AUs or crossovers please. Spice is welcome but not necessary.
Weathermages of Mystral: There's two books so far in this adult romance novel series and I love them both. They've kind of become comfort reads that I come back to sometimes when I'm not in the mood to read something new. The books touch on the geopolitics of the world and there's an interesting magic system present, but of course the stories are much more geared towards the high sexual tension between the characters. I'd love for the writer to explore more about the world, maybe some of the countries the books haven't gone into yet, or more about the countries we have been to. With the main love interests all being royalty, we don't get as much about the day to day life of your average person. Magic in the world seems to be tied to bloodlines associated with long lost heroes and deities- more about that history and how the magic came to be the way it is would be really cool. Please feel free to utilize any existing characters if you'd like, or create characters in world, but no AUs or crossovers please.
SIGMA Force: This long running series by James Rollins is a more recent discovery for me. I haven't read nearly all of the books (there's a ton of them), but I have enjoyed all the ones I have. These are set in pretty much our modern day, just with the slight stretch of a secret intelligence agency under the Smithsonian that solves world ending problems caused by things that are only slightly stretchier than the intelligence agency itself. The research that goes into the real world history and technology written about is extremely thorough. Each book is basically an open and shut story- the through line is SIGMA and its operatives. There's a few characters that repeat more regularly than others, but the cast rotates and their lives are always apart of the story, though not often in the spotlight. I'd like the writer to focus on the SIGMA organization, and/or any of its operatives. I want this to be very open ended- take it where you want to.
And finally THANK YOU for writing. I am really looking forward to this!
