Now that assignments are going out I suppose I should actually write the letter....
[pause, breathe]
First the general notes. Thank you, Santa/Yulegoat/Solstice L(l)ama in whatever shape you choose to manifest. Yuletide is a wonder and a treasure, and Yuletide writers likewise deserve all the backrubs and hot chocolate they can get for their literary efforts. I will be honored and pleased with virtually anything you produce based on these prompts, and I definitely appreciate the effort you're expending to take part in the challenge (especially this year, with its tight timelines).
As to my fanfictional tastes in general, I like: strong characterization, well-written dialogue, wit/banter/snark, clever use of canon, well-developed AUs, UST (heavy on the T), crossovers, and more. I'm neutral when it comes to matters of gen, slash, or femslash -- if the pairing is well-developed, I'll read with an open mind. I'm not into noncon, incest, or adult/child kinks, but have few other outright squicks as long as the relationship is age- and canon-appropriate; OTOH, I mostly don't read fanfic for sexual content.
When it comes to Yuletide, I typically request single characters, but not because I'm uninterested in romantic pairings or the other characters in a given canon. Rather, my take is that (1) single characters are easier for the mods to match, and (2) it gives you, the writer, greater flexibility as you look around for other characters in the fandom for my chosen character to hang out with.
Now, as to my specific requests:
( The Lastborn of Elvinwood • Linda Haldeman )
( My Little Pony )
( Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? )
( Jackie Chan Adventures )
