Dear Yuletide Author 2017

(Insert Dear Yuletide Author Letter once I have the chance to write it - Hi team! Thanks for writing for me! I'm almost too late to sign up! It's stressful!)

Hello friend! Thank you so much for writing for me! (And sorry for not having this up in time for assignments to go out - apparently time is passing faster than I thought it would, and I nearly missed signing up at all this year, which would have been a travesty!)

This will be my 12th year doing Yuletide (time? what even?), so if you're interested in things that I've requested in the past and such you should check out my Yuletide tag. And you can also see the fic I've written (mostly for Yuletides past) here on AO3.

General Likes: happy endings, witty banter, general fluffyness, works that are similar in tone to the source material, ladies being awesome and/or badass, magic, magical realism, werewolves, fandom cliches (inverted and regular), puns, fake dating AUs

General Dislikes: incest, imbalanced power dynamics in relationships (teacher/student, boss/employee, etc), overt cruelty from our heroes (as in the Star Trek Mirrorverse), porn without emotional context, unhappy endings, unnecessary angst, first person narration.

I don't require everything to be sweetness and light all the time, but I also really don't like unhappy stories.

I'm really excited to see what you come up with! As I said I was almost too late to Yuletide this year, so I'm a little rushed and I haven't had a lot of time to think of prompts. So wow me with your awesomeness author! I'm excited for whatever you write!

Prompt Specific Stuff:

iZombie: I don't really have anything else to add. Just these nerds being domestic please!

Carolina Hurricanes RPF: I'm glad they're letting us split up teams so that we can get actual rare characters (people?) from the NHL, but I admit I don't actually have any real connection to the 'Canes, and I'm not overly familiar with some of the new guys on the team. I just love Hockey fic! I mentioned Eddie Lack in my optional details - but please don't feel pressured to write him if you don't want to. But Skinner/Lack is something I've looked for on the archive and not really found, so I'd be super excited if you can write it. I also enjoy a lot of the EStaal/Skinner fics that are already out there, and I also love gen fics, so don't feel pressure to make it slash. Feel free to include various NHL characters from around the league. Fair warning - I was a hockey fan before I started reading the fic. I'm first a Canucks fan, and then also really like the Sens and Penguins. And I really don't like the Bruins, Blackhawks, and all three California Teams (I did say I was a Canucks fan). But otherwise I have generally positive feelings toward the other teams and players. And I have a huge fondness for goalies because I am one, and we're the best. Also I really enjoy the magical realism in the NHL fics I've read - especially the ones where it's known that weird shit just keeps happening and that's okay, like turning into a cat or whatever. So that might be a cool idea.

The Night Circus: My entire thought process for this prompt was that I like the way they do magic in this book and I want to know more about Celia. That's it. Sorry I can't give you anymore direction, but I'm really excited for what you come up with!

Wonder Woman: Honestly I just want to live on Themyscira with all those badass ladies. Honestly, how did I ever think I was straight? Give me Amazons in love! Include Diana if you like. Tell me more about the island and how they got there. Or how they live. Etc.

Thank you again! And happy writing!
