Dear Yuletide Writer:

Hi! Thanks so much for writing for me, and congratulations on your evident good taste!

If you want to benignly internet-stalk me to get an idea of my interests, Tumblr and AO3 are probably a better idea than DW. However, my previous Yuletide-related posts are tagged here.

This year I requested Band Sinister by K. J. Charles, the Roaring Twenties Magic series by Allie Therin, and Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms by Mercedes Lackey. I am happy with any fic rating or length, and welcome treats.

A large and random list of things I like in general: worldbuilding, hurt/comfort, huddling for warmth, teamwork, competence, adventure, lesbians, ethical dilemmas, loyalty conflicts, people being clever, twisty plots, gender issues, sibling or sibling-like relationships, epistolary fic, backstory, pining, physical affection, queerness, philosophy, romance, UST, found families, mythological and literary allusions, polyamory, slash, het, femslash, passionate platonic friendships, hidden worlds, cities, banter, complicated plans, beautiful landscapes, angst, puns, magical realism, history, social class issues, older women with major roles, case fic, period accuracy, gen, smut, pwp, diversity of opinion, secret identities, fairy tales, specific sense of place... Feel free to use any of these, do not try to use all of them.

Dislikes: I do not want child- or pregnancy-focused fic, or high school AUs, or fic entirely centred around a wedding or wedding preparation. I'm not interested in incest or graphic depictions of rape or gore or torture.

Generally I am all for alternate universes, but in these fandoms the setting is a lot of the draw for me, so perhaps not wildly alternate ones.

Fandom specific thoughts and optional details:
