My Dear Yuletide Writer letter
OMG Yuletide sign ups are open!
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 (and the year before that) letter. Two requests have changed, since they 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. If you go with gen fic, instead of slash, then please no outside relationships for any of the guys.
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. Please no tragedy! 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 always 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 how 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 and seeped in friendship, 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 Haruka and Yuujirou with glassy devouring eyes*.
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:

Requested Fandom: Pǐ zǐ yīng xióng | Black & White (Chen Zai Tian aka Pi Zi/Wu Ying Xiong)
What made me love this show was the awesome bromance that developed between Pi Zi and Ying Xiong. I absolutely loved it how these two met, the super straight laced detective Ying Xiong under cover drug bust being ruined by the super lazy and laid back Pi Zi who tries to arrest the other when he mistakes Ying Xiong for a crook. Talk about an explosive first impressions.
I absolutely loved it how Ying Xiong loathed and detested his new partner Zai Tian in the beginning until Pi Zi wormed himself in to his heart and toppled Ying Xiong's world with his antics up side down. The buying guns from the mafia scene! Hiding them in Hero's car but forgetting to buy the ammo when the guns were actually needed! This deep friendship the two developed within the series was awesome. And I want more of their cracktastic interaction as either partners in work, or developing in to more outside of it.
Pi Zi was my favourite character in the show, I loved his character arc.
Prompts if needed:
I would love to see some more of Pi Zi's past as a homeless person being dealth with. Either how it influences him in some case or how Ying Xiong offers comfort, deals with it or views it how his partner has such a depressing and cruel past. Ying Xiong offering/becoming Zai Tian's family.
Or a after series fic about how Zai Tian's promotion to the team leader affects, if it affects, his partnership with Ying Xiong. I just found the ending hilarious how Zai Tian sneaks in to vice on his spare time to question the hot hookers. The laziest one, the one what had the whatever attitude for over half of the series about being a cop is the new team leader/boss of serious crimes. The super serious Ying Xiong must be WTF!?!?! some of the time about this kind of situation in his work place.
Or after series fic dealing with how Ying Xiong deals with being the illegimate son of the former president. How Ying Xiong and Zai Tian deal with it when Ying Xiongs new body guards interfere in their cop work. Or Ying Xiong introducing his partner Zai Tian to his new found father the former president.
Or them dealing with the family issue of kind of sharing a mother. The blood related son who never knew his mother because he was given away, and the one who was adopted, who has all the memories of their mother. How the two bond over that!
Or Zai Tian making his moves on Ying Xiong!

Requested Fandom: J'en Suis! | Heads or Tails! (Dominique Samson/Pierre Sanchez)
Ahhh J'en Suis! The crackiest movie ever that introduced me to the hotness of Roy Dupuis in 1998. Again I absolutely adored the friendship Dominique and Pierre had. Their interaction during the whole movie cracked me up! And I have craved for years to see a fic where these two actually discover their attraction to each other during the antics. So these two getting together fic would be fabulous! In here I even wouldn't mind if Dominiques character had a poly relationship with his wife and added Pierre to their family, if breaking up Dominique from his wife would be a problem for the yuletide writer.
There is a DVD out with English subtitles. Though it is expensive.
Here is the trailer. Sadly it is in French:

And here is the movie with Russian dub. Can't find it in English:

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.
