Dear Yuletide Writer 2024

 

Dear Yuletide Writer 


Hello and Welcome! Is this the only thing I use my dreamwidth for? Yes. So thank you for stopping by and checking out my letter! I’m very excited to be participating for the second year in a row, and have quite literally been waiting ever since last year’s ended. I'm on Ao3 at LeaRoxy, and I'm absolutely open to treats!


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 or trauma, romance of most kinds, supernatural/paranormal


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, A/B/O dynamics, monster fuckery, primal play


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)


Fandom Requests

Gif of Fawn outfit change and bakcflipping into flight
Come on, Fawn, listen to your head. Heart gets you in trouble, head is your friend. And yet, head is making me talk to myself, out loud, in the forest. No, no, no. Model citizen. Starting first thing tomorrow.

Disney Fairies: This is my repeat from last year! I got a wonderful fic that I loved, and I hope more people discover and enjoy this little corner of disney. 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. Spice and smut welcome but not necessary.

Martin the Warrior's tapesty in Redwall Abbey
Have you been travelling, my young friend? Come in out of the darkness and rain. Sit by the fire, eat, drink and rest yourself. Life is one long journey from beginning to end, you know. We all walk different roads, both with our bodies and our minds. Some of us lose heart and fall by the wayside, whilst others go on to realise their dreams and desires.

Redwall Series- Brian Jacques: I read these books in high school and fell in love with the setting, lives and stories of the Redwall Abbey dwellers. This request I wanted to focus on two of my favorite heroes, Bragoon and Sarobando from Loamhedge. Loamhedge is generally considered by the fandom to be one of the weaker entries in the series, and I think a large part of that is the lead up to and deaths of this otter-squirrel pair. I would love a story about them in their roaming, adventuring days before they came back to Redwall and took on their final quest, or perhaps something about their afterlife. I’ll be including Martin the Warrior as an optional character; he’s a guiding spirit for the heroes of the abbey, and if the writer wanted to go in the afterlife direction, it would make sense for him to be around. Bragoon and Sarobando are also one of the few pairs of different species that could be read as platonic or romantic- the writer is welcome to treat them either way, though I think I’d prefer less of a sexual relationship if you do go the romantic route. No AUs for this one please. 

Chibi Raya and Namaari crossing blades
I don't care if you don't trust me. Sisu did. But you didn't trust her. That's why we're here. Do whatever you want, but you're as much to blame for Sisu's death as I am.

Raya & The Last Dragon: I enjoy this movie a lot, specifically the dynamic between Raya and Namaari. I’d love an AU romance story about the pair; I generally lean fantasy, but very open to let the writer take it where they want. Some of my first thoughts are dragon riders, shifters, or omegaverse, but feel free to use none or all of those thoughts. Spice and smut more than welcome, but not necessary. 

Chel confronting the boys "'kha, kha', are you serious?"
Save it for the High Priest, honey, you're gonna need it.

The Road to El Dorado: One of the underrated gems of 2000’s animated films, I come back to this movie for a good time. The beautiful 2D animation, the fantastic adventure with dynamic characters and a rich cultural backdrop, make this a story I love. A ship I’ve more recently discovered is the wonderful polyamorous relationship between Miguel, Tulio and Chel. The three of them together makes perfect sense and I’d love to hear more about their adventures. AUs welcome, spice and smut welcome, have fun like they would.

Raphael and Leonardo, fighting in the rain, Raph has just gotten the upper hand
Why does everyone have such a hard time believing I am a good guy?

TMNT: This 2007 film is one of my all time favorite depictions of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. It’s a fun style and I think the film does a great job of presenting the turtles hitting early adulthood- they’re canonically in their late teens in the film, and it’s kind of a spiritual successor to the three live action films from the ‘90s. The Raph and Leo dynamic is one of my favorites, but Donnie and Mikey could have stood to gain from more time on screen and character presence. I would love a story post this movie, them getting into their 20s and figuring out what their lives are going to be. Definitely want this to be focused on the brothers first and foremost, but romantic subplots are welcome, though I will reiterate from my DNWs: no incest. AUs welcome, lil bit of spice is welcome. 


Thank you so much for checking this out, and writing any of my requests!!

2023 Dear Yuletide Writer Letter

Dear 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!
