2020 Dear Yuletide Author Letter

Thank you for writing for me! I included specific notes about each fandom in my nomination, so here's a little bit about my general preferences.

I have a very broad range of enjoyment when it comes to stories. I like slash (both dudes and ladies), het and gen, and I will happily read any rating. I love relationship stories that show the deepening sense of intimacy between two people, whether it's a romance or a friendship. I also adore plotty stories, casefiles, action/adventure, future fic, backstory, and my great love for fan fiction cliches never dies! I appreciate angst in a story, especially if the source material really calls for it, but I also enjoy when a story ends on a hopeful note.

In these dark days, I do find myself turning to some recurring themes in what I'm watching and reading, if any of these spark inspiration: the comfort of friendship (especially female friendship), found families, magic and fairy tales, personal transformation, nature and spiritual rejuvenation, finding the unexpected in yourself.

A few things I'm not really into are: non-con and dub-con, as well as graphic violence and gore if they are out of keeping with the source material. I'd prefer not to receive a crossover or a totally non-canonical AU. However, I’m cool with canon-divergence AUs.
