Dear Yuletide Creator 2022
Oct. 21st, 2022 11:06 pmDear Yuletide Creator!
Firstly, I want you to have fun! First goal of yuletide is fun, ~~second is turning into a PH gremlin (that might just be me)~~ second is making fic gems for tiny fandoms.
'Opt-ins' which probably deserve a mention:
I'm very happy for you to create original characters/creatures/viewpoints to explore whatever worldbuilding aspects and timelines you want to play with.
Trans-headcanons, explorations, and queering of canons is always welcome. All Rule 63 methods and ideas always welcome. Queering any character or situation is always welcome.
Making something *more weird* is always welcome. If you want to take the historical blorbos, give them daemons, pop them on a spaceship where they're tattoo artists who learnt it in space prison? Go for it. I just don't like AUs which reduces the weird, so modern for historical fandoms, or no-magic for magic ones etc.
Crossovers are lovely. I explicitly said 'anything I've bookmarked or requested before', but you can also go for fandom blind if it allows for some level of outside pov to give me context. So if Chrestomanci drops into Criminal Minds, and it's Reid's pov of what the fuck is going on and wondering who Christopher is, or the other way around, with Christopher's pov on the Criminal Minds crew, the set up will absolutely give me joy and I'll read that blind and with delight.
My Big Letter of likes and tropes and kinks etc.
