Yuletide 2017 Letter
Posting this before I actually sign up, spurred by the general Yuletide enthusiasm on FFA. (Also, there's a lot I can just c&p from last year.)
Hello, prospective future Yuletide writer! Thank you in advance for the fic you are about to embark on.
General likes:
General DNWs:
Likes: D/Leon in all their weird awkward culture-clashing glory. Leon's journey from "I'm going to arrest you" to "please take care of my baby brother while I'm at work, here's some candy to make up for it, but I'm still going to arrest you." All the surreal and gorgeous imagery in the shop. The vampire subplots. Chris's friendships with the pets, especially Honlon.
Specific prompts:
- What if D really was a vampire? When Leon makes that guess, does D confirm it in the moment, or does Leon find out some other way? Sexy biting scene a must.
- Word has gotten around that Leon is D's chosen mate, so various mythical personages, creatures, former pets, etc. start showing up to evaluate his worthiness and possibly put him through some tests. Naturally, nobody has explained what's going on to Leon.
- Show me some adventures with D adopting out crossover pets. Pokémon, magical Oz critters, Doctor Who/Futurama/Star Wars aliens, whatever. (If you write D into the backstory of Grumpy Cat, I will love you forever.) (Combination prompt with Fake News FPF: if you write "Stephen" as a pet that D adopts out to Jon, or vice versa, I will also love you forever.)
Likes: Tip-Oh friendship. The way the Boov use random human objects in hilariously incorrect ways. Cool space exploration. Weird alien gender and biology things. Little shoutouts to book continuity.
Specific prompts:
- Futurefic with adult Tip being awesome at some alien-related profession. (Spaceship piloting? Interplanetary diplomat? Chasing down extraterrestrial fugitives?) Bonus points if you can work in a Lilo & Stitch crossover.
- Something silly and entertaining about how the Boov interact with the human LGBTQ community. (I'm picturing Oh getting really worked up about needing different flags for all possible attraction combinations of the Seven Glorious Boov Genders.)
- If you've seen the Netflix show: I unreservedly love DieAnne, so any fic about her would be fantastic. Maybe she, Tip, and Oh have to team up for a mission. Either a serious world-saving one, or a ridiculously mundane one.
Likes: Canon-typical humor. The magical surrealism of the Colbert Report universe. Hurt/comfort where "Stephen" goes through something horrible and Jon is there to support him. Role reversals where "Stephen" has to be the more put-together one in order to protect Jon.
Jon/"Stephen" is one of the OTPs of my heart. You can write pretty much anything with them -- fluffy, angsty, sweet, dysfunctional, canon-based, AU, whatever -- and I'll be thrilled. (I did a Jon/"Stephen" mini-primer a while back, though the links are probably all broken by now.)
Specific prompts:
- Jon/"Stephen" total setting AU. Fantasy, cyberpunk, Greek gods, Steven-Universe-style Gems (I have type suggestions!)...what does "Stephen" in this universe have Poorly-Informed But Firm and Unchangeable convictions about? And how does Jon fall in love in spite of himself?
- Something with "Stephen" interacting with Janice From Accounting, the unsung star of Last Week Tonight. It seems like she's the only person who could totally stymie him -- an immovable object to his unstoppable force.
- Sexy fluff with Jon and "Stephen" enjoying their retirement in a cabin in the woods, far away from the news. Kink appreciated. (Canon indicates that "Stephen" is a kinky sub with the safeword "pumpkin patch," who likes bondage, costumes, collars, taking orders, praise, acting like a puppy, and that's just off the top of my head. At this point it should be established enough that they need minimal negotiation to have a good time.)
Hello, prospective future Yuletide writer! Thank you in advance for the fic you are about to embark on.
General likes:
- hurt/comfort
- time travel
- culture clashes, especially one character in a fish-out-of-water situation
- taking a weird fantasy/SF situation and earnestly thinking through the logistics
- crossovers
- crossdressing
General DNWs:
- humorless issuefic
- character-bashing
- conflicts that could be resolved if the characters talked for five minutes
- hurt where the hurting character supposedly has close family/friends/loved ones in-universe, but still gets no comfort/support
- mundane AUs for fantasy/SF canons
- references to the current state of US politics
- zombies
