Welcome, dear 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 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.

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

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.

Beneath the cut you will find my squicks 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.

As I was contemplating Mr. Leader, I found myself wondering something that in light of recent polling we should probably all be asking ourselves:

( If this man becomes Prime Minister, how the hell is he going to survive PMQs? )

Taking the watermarks off pictures of Norman Fowler I stole from the Daily Mail, while listening to Billy Bragg's "There is Power in a Union."

I love this fandom.

Hi there, mysterious Yuletide writer!

Thanks so much for offering to write a story for me! You are an awesome person, and you clearly have excellent taste in fandoms.

I wax pretty prolix here, because a) that's how I roll, and b) this journal is almost empty so unless we already know each other from Lolitics you won't know anything about me or my preferences unless I say it here. Which can make a writing assignment rather intimidating, and the last thing I want to do is alarm you when you're writing me a lovely story.

If you'd rather not be inundated with tl;dr, my optional details in the requests over at AO3 will give you the general outlines of what I'm after. Under the cut you will find my squicks 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.

Some kind anon has given me six months of paid time (you know who you are, and I suspect I do as well), and to reward them for their generosity I thought I should try having some actual content. After almost a year. W00t.

In the immediate aftermath of "The Hunt for Tony Blair", a review of British comedy team The Comic Strip Presents' political offerings seems topical. So, without further ado:
