Dear Yuletide Writer, 2025

2025-10-16T23:54:44Z

Greetings, O Yuletide writer!

Thank you for offering to write me a story. You have excellent taste in fandoms, and I'm sure I'll love whatever you write. My optional details in the requests over at AO3 give a basic idea of what I'm looking for, but here's some further information if you want it.

This letter is rather long, but please don't be intimidated or annoyed – it's not because I'm picky and hard to please. I talk a lot here because I'm naturally longwinded (I'm requesting Cicero; you might have seen this coming) and I haven't said much about these fandoms elsewhere, which means my letter is the sole guide to my preferences for an author who wants one. If you're not someone who likes getting a lot of additional detail, feel free to skip it entirely.

Beneath the cut you will find my likes and dislikes and more detailed thoughts on yaoi, the characters, the fandoms, and possible directions you may want to take your story in, if you find yourself in need of inspiration.

Dear Rare Males Creator,

Thank you for offering to write me a story or make me some art for my ridiculously obscure slash pairings! My optional details in the requests over at AO3 give a basic idea of what I'm looking for, but here's some further information if you want it. If not, feel free to ignore it completely and follow your heart – there are so few fanworks for these pairings that I’ll be happy with anything.

Dear Nonconathon Writer,

Thank you for signing up to write me some delicious noncon! This letter is absurdly long because there were too many tempting freeforms in the tagset and spamming you with prompts was easier than narrowing it down to a few favorite scenarios, but don’t worry, I’m not picky. Follow one of the prompts, pick bits from several, or ignore them all and write the rapefic of your heart – as long as you noncon one of these characters, I’ll be happy with anything. I know it's OR matching and I definitely don't expect you to write all the pairings or tags in my requests!

A Very Upsetting Poem

After the 1848 revolution brought down the July Monarchy and restored democracy to France for the first time in fifty years, Béranger wrote a poem about the victory and his beloved friend Manuel, the great republican politician who did not live to see it.

Welcome, O Yuletide writer!

Thank you for offering to write me a story. I commend your excellent taste in fandoms, and I'm sure I'll love whatever you write. My optional details in the requests over at AO3 give a basic idea of what I'm looking for, but if you'd like a bit more information about my preferences, here it is. Sorry it took me a week to post this letter!

I must also apologize for its length, but please don't be intimidated or annoyed – it's not because I'm picky and hard to please.

Greetings, Mysterious Yuletide writer!

Thank you for offering to write me a story. Whoever you are, you have excellent taste in fandoms and I'm sure I'll love whatever you write. My optional details in the requests over at AO3 give a basic idea of what I'm looking for, but if you'd like a bit more information about my preferences, here it is.

I'm afraid this letter is quite long, but please don't be intimidated or annoyed. I wax prolix here because I'm naturally long-winded and because my journal is fairly empty (as you can see, in recent years it consists entirely of Yuletide letters) so my letter is the main guide to my preferences for an author who wants one, not because I'm picky and hard to please. If you're not someone who likes getting a lot of additional detail, feel free to skip it entirely.

Greetings, O Yuletide writer!

Thank you for your kind offer to write me a story, and my apologies for the lateness of this letter. I wasn't expecting matching to run so quickly. The good news is, if you read any of my previous letters while you were waiting, this one is basically identical except for the French Political RPF category. And if you're one of the three other people who offered that you know my opinions anyway. :P

Sauron really is rather clever

Until this morning I'd never realized how explicitly Sauron was targeting the flaws in Arda's worldbuilding, ( but the Rings go straight to the heart of it. )
