Yuletide letter 2013

Hello dear Yuletide author!

I'm so glad we like at least one of these canons! I greatly look forward to the fic you'll write. I hope you have a lot of fun while writing it, and that my suggestions are helpful – if you find they're more confusing than inspiring, please feel free to ignore everything but my little list of nopes (few of which I think are likely for any of these fandoms, but I tried to be thorough). I hope we both have a great Yuletide, and I can't wait for story reveals ^_^

I've collected my general preferences in the start, then have included a bit of talk about what I like in each fandom, as well as some prompt suggestions and a list of specific dislikes. Last comes what sources I could give for my fandoms. As you might notice, none of them are originally in English, and so accessibility is an issue. Hopefully this won't be a trouble for you, but if you have problems getting at a canon, either the one we matched on or another which tickles your fancy, drop me a note through mods and I might be able to help out

General likes:

• Identity issues
• Comedy
• Casefic/Plotfic
• Sensual PWP
• Broken people supporting each other
• Magic and sci-fi
• Obsessive love
• Dubious or complicated consent
• Worldbuilding and backstory fic (which still contains nominated characters)
• M/M slash
• Kinks I love: Bondage, edging, knifeplay, rough sex, overwhelming sex, clumsy first time (with or without laughter involved), hair-play (both gentle and hair-pulling), biting, dom/sub dynamics (doesn't have to be super-formal BDSM)

General dislikes:

• Infidelity (Threepenny Opera and Rómeó és Júlia the exception)
• Crossovers, unless specified
• Genderbends
• Elegiac mood pieces where nothing happens
• Fannish poetry
• First or second person POV
• Setting-shifts or "modern AU". Please avoid this unless otherwise specified in prompt
• Explicit sexual content with pre-pubescent characters
• Kinks I dislike or am squicked by: Chubby/stuffing, scat, watersports, necrophilia, bestiality, food sex (playing with whipped cream etc), public humiliation, humiliating dirty talk (calling someone bitch, whore etc), mpreg, a/b/o

If you want to include non-con or character death, feel free to do so so. It doesn't squick me although I prefer it to have a reason or grounding in canon for such fic, not just grimdark for the sake of darkness.

My story hooks are simply a list of suggestions, which will hopefully give you some ideas and inspiration. If you come up with another idea for the nominated characters, I'll be delighted with a surprise as well, as long as it doesn't contain any of my listed dislikes.

Requested fandoms follow in alphabetical order below. Where I can, I have provided links to canon sources – I'm planning to update this for Friendship! and possibly Die Vermessung der Welt | Measuring the World.

Die Dreigroschenoper | Threepenny Opera - Brecht/Weill - German play, several adaptions exist
Friendship! (2010) - German movie
Rómeó és Júlia (Színház) - Hungarian musical, full English subs linked below
Valhalla - Peter Madsen (Comic) - Danish comic
Die Vermessung der Welt | Measuring the World (2012) - German movie, english subs exist

That's all from me! If you're the kind of author who likes to check up on your recipe a bit, I mostly moved off DW/LJ a while ago and now hang mostly on Tumblr. Same username there as here, as well as on AO3.

Happy Yuletide, dear author, and I hope we both have a great time!
