Dear Yuletide Writer,
First of all, thank you so much for writing me a story this year! :D I know I rambled pretty much in my sign-up but I figured I’d write a letter here with a bit more info just in case you’re stuck on ideas or something.
General: While I picked certain characters for Pooh, Peter Pan, and On the Jellicoe Road, please feel free to include others! Those were really the only ones I could pick from the list but don’t feel limited to just them!
Pooh: Sometimes the best stories are ones that involve the whole group and sometimes the best stories are little snippets with just Pooh and Piglet or Pooh and Christopher Robin. But like I said above, Eeyore, Tigger, Rabbit, Kanga, and Roo were not on the list of characters to pick from, so write about whomever.
Peter Pan: Same as Pooh! If you want to write about one of Peter’s adventures with the Lost Boys, feel free! Or maybe it’s Wendy telling a story to her daughter Jane. I sort of rambled the most about Peter Pan so I hope what I said helps/doesn’t give you an aneurism in trying to figure out what the heck to write.
On the Jellicoe Road: Again, same thing applies to the characters. While it would be fun to see something written with the original fab five (Narnie, Webb, Fitz, Tate, Jude), I honestly would love anything about the present characters too. Raffy and Chaz weren’t on the character list to choose from and I loved their dynamic too, so your story is them hanging out with Jonah, Taylor, awesome! I just loved the relationships between everyone in this book, whether it was a potentially romantic one or just a really strong friendship.
Fairy tales: Picking characters for this one was hard! As I said in my sign-up, I love fairy tale retellings and Rapunzel and The Frog Prince are my favorites, if I had to pick. If you want to rewrite one of those, awesome! If you’re more familiar with a different fairy tale or have a different favorite, rewrite yours! Setting doesn’t matter to me either so you have some freedom here. :D
Other General Stuff: I don’t particularly care for OOC-ness, and I love it when fanfic sticks pretty close to the original-whether it be characters staying in-character or even author’s writing style (which totally isn’t necessary for you but appreciated if possible!) As far as shipping goes, gen or established canon ships are preferred.
I hope this helps!
