Yuletide 2015
I wasn't going to write a letter because I don't have much to say and also this is my first Yuletide and I'm super nervous about it (but also excited!), but I figured I'd do it just to give you a better idea of what I like and don't like, in case you're stumped by the characters I gave you or anything like that.
General
Dislikes | Pro-ana talk, mpreg, scat, watersports, and bloodplay.
AU is okay but not ideal, crossover is not okay.
Likes | 3rd person POV, any rating (G or E to NC-17), any theme (angst/fluff/smut/romance/humour), daddy kink, frottage, cock worship, spanking, roleplaying, phone sex, and dirty talk.
Faking It (TV 2014)
Shane Harvey & Liam Booker | Shane and Liam's friendship dynamic is probably my favourite part of the show. They're funny together, supportive of each other, but not afraid to criticize. For that reason, I'm totally okay with a Shane/Liam humour story, if that's what you're feeling. There's also been moments when the two of them have hinted at something more. Shane's always curious about Liam's sexual exploits and Liam always seems to wonder what it's like to be gay. If you want to explore that dynamic, either in humour, romance, or smut, feel free! Either way, I'll probably enjoy it. Also feel free to include other characters in the story. I love Amy, Karma and Lauren as well as all of Shane's boyfriends/hookups are fair game.
How To Get Away With Murder
Connor Walsh & Frank Delfino | Welp, Frank calls Connor a "smart ass" once and suddenly I'm shipping it. I sort of wondered how different Connor and Frank's relationship would be from Frank and Laurel. I love the Frank/Laurel dynamic, so feel free to play on that, if that strikes your fancy. I think if you're going to write this ship, it probably has to be smut. But I'd be down for Connor try to be a bro and watching sports with Frank or something and getting aroused just being around him. Either way, I think this fic will probably end up being dirty.
Happy Endings (TV)
Max Blum & Grant (Happy Endings) or Penny Hartz & Dave Rose | I don't really ship either of these couples on a smut level, but I would absolutely enjoy a fluffy or angsty fic (with a happy ending, no pun intended) about them. Other things I would like are fics that feel like missing episode and if you want to make it Christmas themed, be my guest. Of course, I love all the Happy Endings crew, so feel free to include one or both couples or include Brad, Jane and Alex in there too if you so choose.
I think that's it. I hope you don't find this letter too confusing or restrictive - I wanted to give you something to work with in case you're stumped, so hopefully I've done that. Have fun with the prompts and enjoy seeing where they take you! Thank you so much in advance, Yuletide Writer! I'm really excited. Happy writing!
