2020 Yuletide Letter

Hello, dear Yuletide writer! I'm Anabel. (This is the first year I've moved over to Dreamwidth -- for all my past exchange letters you can find me on LJ.) I'm so psyched that you have offered one of my fandoms! You are Good People.

What I most love to read about is people who are happy, or in the process of becoming happy. This could mean having adventures, or falling in love, or being fulfilled in their career, or snuggling in bed with their partner, or fighting sky-pirates from outer space. Or perhaps all of these things in the same fic! This doesn’t necessarily mean unrelieved fluff – I’m a big fan of plot, smut, and adventures as well – but a focus on a character’s melancholy inner doubts (for instance), or on infidelity and betrayal and pain, wouldn’t appeal to me.

DNWs: eye injury, vomiting, infidelity, noncon and/or dubcon, death of a requested character, child or animal harm, underage (under 16), people being cornered and yelled at (they can be yelled at as long as they would be able to escape if they want/needed to), women being victimized by men without being able to fight back, women being denied agency, 'father-daughter' age gaps in relationships (a ~7+ age gap for m/f ships, if the older character is a man).

General note: Any and all prompts in this letter, whether general or fandom-specific, are only ideas! If nothing here inspires you, please feel free to use your own ideas. As long as you don't hit a DNW, I seriously will not mind.

Mini-challenges: I am participating in Yuleporn (porn), Wrapping Paper (art), Season's Treatings (holiday fic -- I asked for Hanukkah and Christmas), Two for One (crossovers), and Cheftide (cooking/baking fic). I have specific prompts for those mini-challenges in the linked challenge comments, but you are also more than welcome to use any of my general or fandom prompts as jumping-off points for a mini-challenge, or to create your own! I love how creative everyone has been with the mini-challenges this year, both new and old. :)
