elisemDear Yuletide Author,
Thank you for signing up for Yuletide! I look forward to whatever you write for me.
THIS LETTER IS (still) UNDER CONSTRUCTION (sorry!). More info to come.
Also, see general notes at the end.
Aviation Pioneers (RPF) - Amelia Earhart, Pauline Gower, Amy Johnson - Big bonus points for including Bessie Coleman, whether in person or through references to her.
The Lion in Winter (1968) - Richard "the Lionheart" of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine - I'm all for the snarky dialogue and quick comebacks... and the relationship stuff underneath.
The Wicked + The Divine - Laura Wilson | Persephone, Baphomet, Baal - Big bonus points for getting Lucifer in there too. I'm hoping for angst, insight, and a wild ride. Set it anytime and anywhere you like.
General notes on all fics:
- I prefer kindness to cruelty. Particularly in authors. :) Well, perhaps it would be more accurate to say I prefer courage of the heart to cruelty. Bad stuff can happen to characters if the story needs that, though right now I'd rather read things that aren't in the major #MeToo categories, please, because it's been extra-stressful recently, but please don't give me pain with no courage afterwards.
- I like characters who learn things and get better at stuff.
- If something's got no plot, I can still enjoy it if it is written with love for the character. Vignettes and drabbles are fine.
- I've got nothing against well-written smut -- heck, I've written smut, and I try to do it well, and admire the many people who are better at it than I am -- but what really floats my boat is communication between characters.
Argh. This feels incoherent, but it's what I got. Sorry, dear writer! Um, maybe go look at my AO3 stories and bookmarks, because those will say more about what I like than anything I can manage to put together here. And thank you again for signing up and for writing something for me!
(There. I may add a few notes yet, but at least this exists now.)
