Dear Yuletide Writer,

Thank you so much for offering my fandoms (or happening across my letter, I’m not picky!). I don’t really have much time for fandom most of the year, but Yuletide is one of my absolute must-dos. You can find my fic on AO3 here.

Under the cut are my general likes and DNWs, along with more fandom-specific details.

( Yuletide! )

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Thanks so much for getting matched with me! Yuletide is the only time at all I get to be fannish, so I’m always excited to see who I’m writing for, and to offer prompts for my writer.

From previous Yuletides (sorry this journal is bare as I’ve had to start from scratch thanks to RL doxxing), here is a general list of things I like, and what I’m not such a huge fan of:

I like
- power dynamics with my porn
- first times
- awkward moments (see above)
- well-written snark
- control issues
- mouthy bottoms
- twisted attraction - denial and submission (see power dynamics!)
- repressed feelings that are finally admitted to

I don't like
- weeping men (see above - I’m a fan of the Stiff Upper Lip Till It Suddenly Breaks trope though)
- melodrama
- flowery dialogue during sex (no orbs, no chiselled abs etc)
- mpreg
- character bashing (especially of female characters)
- pet-names
- overly detailed sex
- unwarned for non-con/rape/character death
- anachronistic dialogue for historical fics (I'm not saying everything has to be period-perfect, just please no stray slang like Brits 'doing the math')
- guro
- issue fic

Also, I know I've requested slash for most of these pairings, but that's an optional detail - I'm equally happy with gen fic. And if you do decide to go down the slashy path, please know that I'm fine with just kissing or fade-to-black scenarios if full-blown smut is not your thing.

TL,DR: I'm happy with whatever you want to write me.

( Specific fandom prompts - Dunkirk, Peaky Blinders, Strange Tales From a Chinese Studio, Bon Appetit Test Kitchen, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (TV) )

Dear Author,

Apologies for the slightly spartan looking journal. It's what happens when people at work suddenly find your 15 year old journal and everything needs to be built back up from scratch again. If you're worried about this being a sock journal, or me being a no-show on reveals, please see my AO3 profile for last year's fic by me and gift (along with a slightly embarrassing review by me for my PH author because! Star Wars RPF! Domhnall Gleeson! I digress). Yuletide is the only time I have enough time off from Real Life to indulge in fandom, so please be assured that I do take this Seriously Enough. LOL.

Anyway, thanks for getting me! I hope that my prompts make sense and that you're not too confused or frustrated by any of my requests. As always, optional details are optional and I'm just happy to be getting any fic at all - so go ahead and write gen if you prefer. I'm cool with almost anything. Except my squicks (which are listed below).

If you wanted to pair him up with Tommy, that could be interesting (and hot), but I think I’d prefer a gen fic. Or you could invent some other lover, male or female - what kind of impression would they leave on a man like Alfie?

Versailles Louis XIV, Monsieur

Whatever kind of relationship (slashy or not) between the brothers you would like is up to you. I’m just intrigued by the repercussions of Season 2 and how that’s changed the dynamic between Louis and Philippe. On the one hand, you have Philippe being brilliant in mimicking Louis during the meeting with the Indian ambassador. On the other, there is the fact that Philippe has literally put himself in danger for his brother (and oh, who could forget the Chevalier’s moment of heroics??). This relationship is all about Louis’ control and dominance over his younger brother and the way it has evolved over the past Season has been fascinating to watch, both in terms of Louis’ own insecurities and Philippe’s sacrifices. I’d like to see that explored a little more in fic. Does Louis reward his brother for what he’s done, as he did with the Chevalier? What form might that reward take? How would they deal with the aftermath of The Affair of the Poisons? How does Philippe respond to the threats against Louis’ life?

Honestly, a fic in any one of these fandoms would be terrific. I’ll leave the optional details up to you, dear author. Let your imagination run wild, and have an awesome Yuletide!
