This is where my My Dear Yuletide Writer letter shall be for this year!
More or less this is basically a copy paste from my last years letter. One request has has changed, since it got filled last year :).
Dear Yule Writer
I hope you will have fun in writing your fic and please know I am grateful to see new and shiny fic in any one of my beloved, but very rare, fandoms. So thank you for being willing to write in one/(some?) of them in the first place. The fact that you are a fellow admirer of at least one of them makes me already like you. Be assured that none of the fandoms I chose here are place fillers, so I will indeed be very pleased to get a fic from any of them and I wont be disappointed in your choice be it A B C or D.
The things I write here as useful guidelines you can chuck out if they don't fit you and not as orders you must obey. Don't be scared away. Remember optional details are optional! Also please don't let me scare you away by my rambling ways.
I am mostly a slash girl but know that I adore gen and especially best friends forever bonding aka BFF fics too. So don't feel pressured to write slash if that is not your cup of tea.
Unfortunately I am very very particular about het fics and read it in very select few trusted fandoms, so it is safer to stay on the slash or gen genre with me.
Any and all ratings are fine with me. Smut it up as much as you please or have a fic where there is no romance and the characters talk and drink tea instead. I read it all and I like it all. So no worries about me being bored either way, all ratings are good with me.
I like action adventure, cultural differences, character driven, plot driven, romance driven, dialogue driven, character self and other analysis driven ect fics. I like witty banter and sarcastic humor, or crazy crack fics. I like warm sweet fics and I like character in the grey/cold mentally or literally searching hope/warmth fics. Moral ambiguity, loyalty pulling in different directions, melancholy and character introspection are always interesting to me.
Angst in reasonable doses is fine too put not over the top I want to slit my wrists in sadness by the end fics. So a happy or semi happy, bitter sweet ending with measure of hope would be appreciated. So genre wise I guess most things are safe with me.
Things I do not like are song fics, character bashing, over feminizing the male characters so that they act like stereotypical lovelorn teen girls with crushes, partner betrayal, character jumping from one relationship to other, cheating, graphic torture, graphic rape non con, fics full of only angst and no hope, and romantic melodramas.
In the romantic melodrama I mean supposedly serious fics where the characters react to every slight/perceived slight in a juvenile melodramatic way. For example drama for dramas sake or soap opera reactions are not my thing. I guess the best example would be where you see adult characters act like the stereotypical temper tantrum giving teenagers (not that most real teenagers act like stereotypical teenagers, most of them have an undeserved bad rep, but I guess you get the point). Where the characters don't communicate at all and instead go all "woe is meee, you bastard how could you? I'll never forgive you and hate you forever and now I am dating your biggest enemy instead as a revenge, for he knows of to treat me" fics are not my cup of tea.
Unless the romantic melodrama is in a crack humor fic, then I will love it.
I am not fond of overly fluffy sugary sweet schmoop fics either, fluff for fluff sake or overly stereotypical love confessions.
Unless the fluff and sweetness is awkward and cute, then I'll melt in to a puddle of goo and love it. Awkward first times and saying I love you in a roundabout way is one of my sure kinks.
P.S: Men with long hair and some play with it will definitely push my kink buttons on the nicest of ways. *Stares at Tamao, Haruka, Yuujirou and Seon-Woo with glassy devouring eyes*.
Requested Fandom: Crows Zero (Tamao, Genji, Izaki, Tokio)
What pulled me to Crows Zero are the strong, loyal, competent, beautiful men who know the value of friendship. Plus the fights between the fractions are just plain hot. Even when some of them lose a fight they do it gracefully.
Even more the movie has awesome actors like Oguri Shun, Takayuki Yamada in it! What is not to like?
I am team Tamao Serizawa all the way, for he is my absolute favorite in both of the movies. So if his character inspires a fic all the better! But I adore Izaki, Genji and Tokio too. So fic with any/all/just few/one of them will make me happy.
I would love absolutely any fic for this fandom. Slash or BFF gen fic. Pre-movie, during movie vignette, post movie all are fine.
These four in any combination or all alone makes me happy. Character introspection, back story, sweet first time, BFF bonding, first meeting, future occupations anything is fine.
If you are one of the writers who needs prompts here are some just in case you need some but if not, ignore them.
Why did the former BFF Genji & Tokio stop communicating?
How did Tamao and Tokio meet and how did they become best friends?
Or post movies what are any of their future occupations?
Between movies Tokio in a hospital Genji and Tamao visiting him
Why didn’t Izaki challenge Tamao before the second movie, if he disliked him so much like he said before their fight?
I mean it absolutely anything would make me happy! I can’t repeat it enough. Anything in this fandom will make me happy.
Watch the first movie here: http://www.dramacrazy.net/japanese-movie/crows-zero-watch/
Watch the second movie here: http://www.dramacrazy.net/japanese-movie/crow-zero-2-watch/
Requested Fandom: Rh Plus (Konoe Haruka/Tamura Masakazu)
What pulled me to the series and kept me watching it were the interactions between Haruka and Masakazu in Rh Plus. Though I adored the other characters too.
Haruka stays mysterious the whole series, we don’t know how old he is, only that he is without family but still filthy rich and a very good charmer who gets girls melting in to his arms even without trying.
And we know that Masakazu is very very smart student, but also very lazy
And sees himself as a self-titled if unsuccessful King of Goukon.
I loved the interaction between Haruka and Masakazu and one of the things that really intrigued me about those two was the question of why did Haruka suddenly decide to befriend and kind of start to stalk Masakazu the second he saw him do his drunken fistfight. He didn’t seem to be overly impressed by him before that.
I absolutely loved it how during the whole series the interactions between those two stay mysterious and unexplained. That leaves so much potential for BFF or UST filled fic.
So I would absolutely love some slashy goodness between the two or if that is not your cup of tea more BFF hanging out or them getting to know each other a bit more and better.
Prompts if needed. What if the long stare between Masakazu and Haruka in one of the final episodes meant that Masakazu was in love with Haruka?
Or a bit of Haruka backstory. What if Haruka is way older than he looks, how will he explain it to Masakazu when the other learns his "true" age.
Any fic with these two will make me happy. Be it slash or gen.

Requested Fandom: Princess Princess – (Kouno Tooru/Shihoudani Yuujirou)
Original Prompt: (Best friends forever Kouno and Yuujirou sooo must have been up to naughty stuff in their dorm room at night. That kiss so must have made them curious.)
What pulled me in to Princess Princess was the awesome interaction and friendship that developed between Yuujirou & Tohru. I love their bantering dialogue and how well they support each other when needed.
And that kiss! The best and most hilarious scence in the manga & anime. Or how the two of them were constantly confused with girls and boys were trying to pick them up.
I would love to see their friendship develop in to more. Or just see them hanging out a bit more. They are too awesome to resist.
Prompts if needed: What if that kiss of theirs started to haunt Yuujirou and Tohru?
Or Yuujirou and Tohru as former Princesses in school, how will they cope and adjust now that they don’t have all of the privileges of Princesses.
Or Yuujirou and Tohru in College, will they go to the same place or keep in contact at all?
Any fic with these two will make me happy. Be it BFF or as lovers.
The manga by Mikiyo Tsuda is published in English by DMP & Doki Doki Books. The anime is out by Mediablasters. Here is the first part of episode 1 in youtube, with a bith of googling you should be able to find the whole anime in streaming:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB2q7fPyRoM
Requested Fandom: Antique (2008, South-Korean movie) (Kim Jin-Hyeok/Min Seon-Woo)
Kim Jin-Hyeok discovers to his own horror that he is not so immune to Seon-Woo's demonic gay charm as he thought and has succumbed to it without noticing. He just needed more time to fall under its spell than other men. Or how Seon-Woo finally got the man of his dreams because he insists (or Jin-Hyeok himself insists) that Jin-Hyeok keep his word about sleeping with Seon-Woo if he stays. And to Jin-Hyeoks own surprise he actually doesn't mind the idea at all, he actually finds it oddly appealing. Let the virgin sacrifice of Kim Jin-Hyeok begin! Toppy Seon-Woo would be an appreciated bonus!
Or perhaps you could delve deeper in to the issue that was kind of shoved aside in the movie that Kim Jin-Hyeok was actually depressed/suicidal in the canon. He tried to kill himself in the opening credits and when the suicide attempt failed, opened the cake shop as a last effort to find out what happened to him as a kid, because he thinks all his relationships so far in his life have failed because of his repressed memories that have somehow sullied/broken him. Jin-Hyeok probably himself thinks he was molested as a child, that has been a logical conclusion for him to come to. So when Seon-Woo made his confession in High School minutes after Jin-Hyeok had been dumped by his girlfriend, no wonder he flipped out. I think it would be very interesting to see how Jin-Hyeok deals with his depression post canon and perhaps Seon-Woo the Gay of Demonic Charm can help him heal and deal.
Or perhaps a spin of Jin-Hyeok being an in denial gay guy. And because he himself thinks he was molested as a child by a gay pedophile guy, he never could accept later in life the fact that he is attracted to males himself. In his mind all gay guys = molesters of young boys. So now when he has had the chance to work with Seon-Woo and see that gays are normal people he can learn to accept his own attraction to males. Seon-Woo is happy to help Jin-Hyeok in that!
Since the last line of the movie had Seon-Woo calling Jin-Hyeok on mobile and inviting him to a gay club and Jin-Hyeok agreeing. I wouldn't mind seeing their night out on there either.
P.S: I also find it oddly appealing when Seon-Woo called Jin-Hyeok by his previous name Min-Jun in the end of the movie. It was like a secret of theirs. A way to show he cared. Made me go all awwwww.

I hope you will have fun in writing your Yuletide fic. And remember optional details are optional. So if these do not fit you, forget them and just write what you want. I will like it anyway.
