2021 dSSS Letter
Sep. 19th, 2021 04:55 pmHey Santa! Thanks for making me a thing ^_^
My requests this year are pretty open-ended, but I'm still open to however you want to interpret them! I love baking/domesticity, mysteries/casefic, magical realism, historical AUs, crossovers, outsider POV, secret reveals (it can be any kind of secret! including relationship reveal!), and family/found family dynamics (which can include kid!fic). Road trips can be super fun, too. I like happy endings but I also don't mind sad endings! Killing off characters or exploring canonical character death(s) works just fine for me (as long as it doesn't devolve into bashing, of course). Feel free to make me weep, be it tears of joy, laughter, or anguish ^_^
I would rather not receive something that contains non-con, incest, infidelity, detailed or lengthy medical horror/gore scenes, cis-to-cis genderbending (exploring the possibilities of someone being trans or nonbinary is fine, please just no rewriting a cis man as a cis woman or vice versa), or RPS. Please no robots (unless it's something that already exists in real life, such as Siri or a roomba, or if you're writing a crossover with something that has canonical robots, like Doctor Who) and especially no robot sex.
With regards to shipping, I'm pretty open! I love gen and if that's the route you want to go I'll be thrilled! I also like romances (in fact, I'm a sucker for sappy Hallmark movies and curtain!fic alike). In particular: I like F/K, K/V, RayV/Stella, rarepairs and non traditional ships and crossover pairings and romances with OCs - but F/V just isn't my jam. I don't really like F/K/V, but if you want to explore a different OT3 that's probably fine - although if you do want to go the polyamory route, you might want to check with someone who knows me first, as I can be a bit picky there. Please keep any break-ups-and-make-ups very much in the background or just don't include them at all, with the exception of a "history of a canon relationship" type thing. Near break ups that make up or break ups that stay broken up are both fine, I just don't like the emotional yo-yoing of breaking up and getting back together all in the same fic/art/vid/etc.
I haven't included an "E" rating in my first two requests, but I should clarify that while it isn't my preference (hence not requesting it), it's fine if something does end up going in an E rated direction - just please, please please please, no PWP. Porn that shows up as part of a plot is okay, and in particular an E rating for violence is 100% good by me.
Again, I'm definitely open to you interpreting these as you will - if you have an idea and after consideration you think I'll like it, you can probably just go for it! For the most part you should feel free to get creative with your interpretation of these requests.
Happy Santa-ing! \o/

Request 1 - When I say any minor or background character, I do mean ANY. If their name isn't Fraser or Ray, they're fair game here! I don't love Victoria-focused fic/art/vids as a general rule, to be perfectly honest, but that's mostly because I'm uninterested in any kind of redemption arc for her - so I'm not ruling out Victoria-focused fic/art/vids for this option, just, I don't know, cautioning you?
Request 2 - A case! A mystery! Take that in whatever direction you want - serious case fic, spyglass themed art, a vid to the Pink Panther theme, whatever. I like mysteries and I like watching characters go through the process of solving them! If it's something that has a narrative, like a fic or a comic or a narrative vid, please just let the characters solve something. If there are still things they don't know, if the culprit gets away, if the McGuffin stays unfound and Chekhov's gun stays holstered, that's all fine, as long as they've made some kind of progress. (If it's something that doesn't have a narrative, like a noir-esque poster, that's fine too.)
Request 3 - I've left this one very open ended and given you two different routes to go down! If you're interested in the first "anything goes" option and want to thumb through some things that I like, I've made a few fic rec lists on tumblr, which can be found on my blog under the tag "fic recs". If you're interested in making something based on one of my works, they can be found here on AO3. If you make something based on one of my works, please just don't make something based on either of my complementary Big Bang works without checking in with the author of the primary piece first.
