Dear Writer Letter, Yuletide 2024
Oct. 15th, 2024 06:39 pmDear Yuletide writer,
Thank you for writing for me!
I am excited for whatever you give me, but here are some general things I like and some of the reasons I chose the fandoms/pairings for Yuletide.
Things I like: romance, pining, found families, humor, loyalty, competency kink, characters being careful with each other’s feelings, characters learning about each other and growing, characters supporting each other in things they want to achieve or in growing to be a better person, angst followed by happy endings. I enjoy explicit and mature content for my ships, but I want you to write whatever you are most comfortable with.
Things I don’t want: A/B/O, mpreg, cruelty, non-con or dub con scenarios, pain in sexual encounters, sad or bittersweet endings. I’m also not really into stories about proposals or marriage as the epitome of romance.
Information about my requests
Fandom: 내 손끝에 너의 온도가 닿을 때 | Time of Fever (TV 2024)
Characters: Kim Donghee and Go Hotae
Details: The LONGING what the hell. I enjoyed these characters in Unintentional Love Story but I was devastated by them in this. They can't seem to really get on the same page, but still seem to understand each other so well. The teach me stuff killed me. I would be interested in fic that explored that a little more for sure haha.
Prompt ideas: I would love fic that was about them actually getting together since we don't ever fully see that. I think it can be imagined as after the Time of Fever or after the events of Unintentional Love story. I want them to acknowledge each other's feelings and comfort each other. I would definitely be happy if it was in an M or E-rated way.
Fandom: 墨雨云间 | The Double (TV 2024)
Characters: Xiao Heng and Xue Fangfei
Details: This is my favorite cdrama I watched this year. I loved the scheming, the plans, how Xue Fangfei took back her life. Xiao Heng is absolutely my favorite type of cdrama male lead - smart, respectful, doesn't try to swoop in or interfere with Xue Fangfei's plans, but does come to help her when she needs it, is definitely very much attracted to her intelligence and resilience, and once he knows how he feels he is down bad and does not hide his feelings. Even when he gets upset with her putting herself in danger, he doesn't direct anger at her, but does communicate his fears. I also liked that A-Li and Duke Su were equals in every way possible, while still recognizing the circumstances for women were not at all equal in any way.
Prompt ideas: I would appreciate anything with Duke Su and A-Li having to work together again. I enjoyed their team work quite a bit. I would also like anything soft and domestic, especially featuring Duke Su being absolutely taken over by his feelings for A-Li. He was so far gone for her so quickly. Bonus for any smut where it explores that she was once married and more experienced than presumably Duke Su was.
Fandom: Cherry Magic 30 ยังซิง | Cherry Magic (Thailand TV 2023)
Characters: Karan Wongkarun and Achi Achirawit Jittawisut
Details: I love both Cherry Magic dramas, but the Thailand version brought us a slightly different style and I have been having fun exploring the differences and how that plays out in their characterization.
Prompts: I always love stories about Achi being braver, I enjoy stories about Achi teasing Karan, especially because this version really hits hard on what an over-the-top weirdo Karan is (affectionate). I also love any stories where Karan is being comforted. He deserves it.
I’ve also written some one shots for this pairing on AO3 that would give a good indication of what I like.
Fandom: Old Fashion Cupcake (TV)
Characters: Nozue Sanae and Togawa Minoru
Details: Togawa and Nozue’s story is one that is basically perfection. As with most people, it was only too short. But without other characters’ plots, it really spent its time on the two of them and their dance of testing each other and getting closer. I love their banter, the way they laugh with each other, the fact that they are talkers and are likely to talk about anything and everything, even when they are in intimate moments. The little post-canon scene made me want more of them even then.
Prompt ideas - For them I think I’d like to see more post-canon scenes of them growing together as a couple, maneuvering the daily things that can be hard between two people, especially with Nozue and his insecurities and what it means to get closer to someone in that way. I would also enjoy some classic fandom tropey sex-pollen, although I enjoy mine with some very clear focus on consent.

I hope you have fun!
