Dear Yuletide Creator...
thank you so much for making anything for me! No matter what it is, I already know that I will love it to the moon (and back)! *hugs*

General Preferences
most of them fit both fics and fanart, though I have written them for writers
DO NOT WANT
- Non-canonical character death (especially, of course, in the pairings I requested, but also in general) - temporary character death is okay, but the "dead" character should be back with the others in the end (or at least the way back should begin to be paved)
- Funerals (comes from my RL abhorrence for them – too much bad emotion!) – visits to existing gravesites (with or without a heartfelt, one-sided conversation) are okay, though!
- Hurt without comfort
- Super dark!characters (accidental darkness (i.e. a character following another one in a manner that borders on stalking, but stays on the rather humorous side, especially if the followed character notices it early on and decides to play along) is okay, the same goes for using manners that are not exactly only on the good side to reach their goal ;)
- Character or ship bashing (If you can't stand a character/ship, please man up and contact the mods for a change, or reach out)
- No discussion of real-life politics and the awfulness therein! The same goes for the pandemic and/or the Ukraine crisis! Mentioning it is okay (e.g. a character watches the news, or reads a newspaper), a lenghtly discussion about it is NOT.
- Rape/non-con (dub-con is okay to a certain degree - if you're not sure, please reach out)
- Breakup fic (you can break them up, but bring them back together in the end)
- Characters being shown as dumb / demoted in their intelligence / reduced to being just a "tool" in someone else's belt.
- No sexual situations with underage characters. Please age them up if you want to create something with them.
- for any A/B/O tags – no characterization of omegas as “birth machines” or demoting them their basic human rights
- When writing characters with a disability (in canon/temporary) – please don’t picture that disability as a handicap (e.g. a blind character that has to completely rely on other people to get the most basic things in live done). A lot of disabled people in RL have adapted and live a wonderful, rich life like any other, so please keep that in mind.
- Another absolute No-Go for me: ANY form of racism, misogyny, discrimination because of sexual orientation, gender, religion or color (not even a trace of it, please!).

LIKES
Smart characters!
Or (at least) being competent in what they are doing, even when they know there might be consequences (can also be used as a kink!)
Idiots in Love!
Which means for me the characters are pining for each other without knowing the other's true feelings, and usually realize it later on (with or without some helping hands!)
Everybody's Alive!
Most of my fandoms have their share of sad-ending relationships (in any flavor), so if you can give me some happy ending, with nobody dying (as noted above, temporary deaths are okay), and with as much fluff as you can, I'm (more than) good!
Romance Tropes!
I'm pretty much game for almost all of them XD (if written in a good way), but I have kind of a soft spot for the following: friends with benefits (that might evolve into something more serious), slight jealousy/possessiveness (not over the top display, please, but simple gestures/words are okay - as long as both partners can laugh about it afterwards, you're good), Cuddling (works also on the friendship front), Misunderstandings (as long as they are clarified and don't drive a wedge between the characters), Fake Dating (that evolves into real dating), Fake Marriage, A/B/O (in a way that doesn't display omegas as birthing machines only/demotes them to humans with no rights whatsoever), Bed Sharing (both at the beginning of a love relationship or friendship), Meet-Cutes (and Meet-Uglys that get turned around)
AUs!
Don't get me wrong, I love my fandoms just right as they are (in terms of setting/time and all that jazz), but I love reading about the characters in a different time/setting. Favorites include: Space AU, Modern AU (for any fandom that's usually set in an earlier time frame - vice versa for any modern setting fandom), Band AU
Working relationships!
In a way where the characters have managed to have an established relationship while working in the same field (for example cops, or FBI agents), probably despite the misgivings of their bosses, but now they have to live with the "consequences" aka the emotions that threaten to take them over when the other half is in a dangerous situation (and yes, they know each other better, but especially when one of them is known for reckless behavior, they can't help but worry, most of the time to the slight amusement of their colleagues)
Case fics!
Be it within the lines of the established fandom setting or in an AU, a clever written case, with some unexpected twists and turns and some mystery (that isn't too difficult to explain in the end), is very welcomed and enjoyed at this place!
Smut!
As I love to write whenever something like this letter comes up - I'm a big girl, so don't hesitate to go as smutty as you are comfortable with! First times are as perfect as new sides in an established relationship - as long as the characters are happy afterwards, I'm as well! For Artists: don't be afraid to show certain bits (both boys and girls) ;)
Crossovers & Fusions!
I usually request this in signups only if I have a slot free, but I’m always open for crossovers (even with fandoms I’m not so familiar with XD). The same goes for fusions (e.g. Neal Caffrey being an MI-6 agent like James Bond, maybe meeting him).
Music!
I'm a music aficionado at heart (with a heavy preference for music up until the early 1990's), a huge Bon Jovi fan, but if you can incorporate any song out there, feel free to broaden my horizon, so to speak. I also never say no to any kind/variation of Band AU/Musician AU.
Strong Female Characters!
That’s something that turned up on my radar rather recently XD I love independent characters in general, but there’s something about it in combo with a female character. And if they have a so-called “weak” moment, it’s either because they chose it themselves, or that they feel comfortable enough in the company of others to let their guard down.
There's definitely more to these lists, but these are my absolute favorites (or dislikes). And I repeat once again: If you're not sure about anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via the mods.
*********************
Fandoms
I might give you some pointers as to what I would love to see/read, but in the end, I'm open to anything you want to give me. Of course you can include any other character from the fandoms, but please keep the focus on the pairings listed ;)
*********************
Hawkeye (Matt Fraction comics)
Back in the infant days of the MCU, it was our resident archer that brought me into the fold (or rather, Jeremy Renner's, the guy who plays him, acting chops XD), and the Fraction!verse was actually the first comic I've ever read from Marvel. And the six episodes we got last year for the TV show were like a gift from the heavens, with the only negative point that the whole adventure was over way too soon. Feel free to have elements from the show in your work (like Yelena) or from the rest of the MCU, but please keep having the bad guys around at a minimum. I'm mostly here for the loveable human disasters that are Clint and Kate - and of course for the World's Best Boy, Lucky ;)
Characters
- Clint Barton
- Kate Bishop
- Lucky
*********************
Moon Knight (comics)
Up until the first rumors about the TV show, this character was a blank spot in the corner of my mind that is reserved, more or less, for all things comics. The only connection I had to Moon Knight was that he was one of the characters in a mobile game. But then, the TV show came, and pulled me in, completely. Sure, a lot of that credit goes to one Oscar Isaac, but Marc/Steven/Jake is also a very compelling, interesting and very multi-layered character. I'm still not that familiar with the comics (except for having read some headlines), so feel free to introduce me to new characters (a few are listed in the tag set for this exchange, but I chose to stick to those I already know XD). For fanartists: I can imagine Duchamps looking like Pedro Pascal ;) And while I know that Layla isn't in the comics, feel free to include her in some way.
Characters
- Jake Lockley
- Khonshu
- Marc Spector
- Steven Grant
*********************
Ex Machina
I openly admit that, while I have watched the movie, it's mainly in this letter for Oscar Isaac. He's an extremely talented actor with a penchant for complex characters, and Nathan, from what I have gathered during the watch, falls in this category. Feel free to explore more of him, or show me more of his relationships to his droids/robots, or to Caleb.
Characters
- Nathan Bateman
- Caleb Smith
- Kyoko
- Ava
*********************
Dune (2021)
When this movie first was announced, I was like "Do we really need this?". I admit, I only had seen the mini-series from the early 2000's (with James McAvoy), but still, I wasn't sure that even a gifted filmmaker like Denis Villeneuve could tell the story new - especially after Jason Momoa was announced as the new Duncan Idaho (which wasn't really the character I could imagine for him). Anyway, I watched the movie nonetheless - and was proven wrong, on several accounts. First off, Denis Villeneuve really knows how to tell a story, that's for sure. Second - I LOVE Jason's Duncan from the very minute he's on screen till his heroic sacrifice. And last but not least, I would watch an entire movie focused on Duke Leto, if only for seeing Oscar Isaac a bit more ;) Feel free to have Gurney Halleck (?) around as well (another surprise to me), along with Chani and Dr. Kynes, but leave the Harkonnen house, the rest of the Bene Gesserit and Stilgar out completely, please.
Characters
- Leto Atreides I
- Duncan Idaho
- Lady Jessica
- Paul Atreides
*********************
The Card Counter
Like with "Ex Machina", I also watched this movie once (so far). I admit it's quite intense in storytelling, and there's only so much one can take in one sitting XD Anyway, since this entire letter has shapen up to be very Oscar Isaac-centered XD, I would love to see any work focused on his character. The other characters in the movie (beside Cirk) can be there as well.
Characters
- William Tell
- Cirk Baufort
*********************
Star Wars RPF
I usually don't get around to request any RPF these days in exchanges (too many fandom interests XD), especially not from Star Wars corner, but ever since I saw a video of Pedro and Oscar promoting "Triple Frontier" together (that had me in stitches at the end XD), along with pics and gifs of Oscar with Carrie Fisher, I want more. Domhnall is kind of a blank slate to me on a personal level besides the basics, so I request him as well. Feel free to have other actors around as well, I love pretty much everyone in the sequels (both actors and characters).
