Yuletide 2009: Dear Santa...YuleGoat...Solstice Llama?

Or possibly Solstice Lama, since only a truly enlightened soul would have matched with me on a Yuletide fandom.  Salaam, salaam, salami -- [pause, deep breath]. 

Okay, I'd better stop now, before someone reaches through the Internet and thwaps me upside the head for excessive punmanship.  Suffice to say "Welcome" to my Yuletide writer (and anyone else who may end up tossing something in via pinch-hit or Yuletide Madness), and a sincere and heartfelt thanks-in-advance for the effort and attention you'll be giving to one of these requests.

General notes first:  As I've noted in prior Dear Whoever letters, I am mellow and flexible in my reading preferences -- I read widely and in a number of different categories as well as fandoms.  I most appreciate strong character and/or story development, whether in something as compact as a drabble or as expansive as an epic.  If you poke around in this journal and my FFN material, you'll observe that I have a fondness for fandoms and fanfic featuring high levels of wit and snark; I'm not opposed to angst, but I don't tend to wallow in it.  I am definitely a crossover junkie, with the caveat that the crossover needs to do full justice to everyone involved.  Which can be done in more than one way, and I worship at the altar of those who cam pull off really insane crackfic with a straight face. 

I am in no way opposed to hot(!) sex(!) in my fanfic as a general principle, but I generally don't read fanfic for the sex, and most of my present Yuletide requests are not strongly pairing-oriented.  I've read and liked gen, het, slash, and a surprising amount of kink, but I just don't get either mpreg or most genderswap, have yet to meet a fandom-of-interest where incest made sense to me, and consider adult/child a definite squick.  Also, in my book, well-rendered UST is a thing of beauty, and resolving it often has a tendency to severely dim the sparkle in a lively pairing.
