Dear Yuletide author:

kaberettThank you so much for writing for me; I'm delighted in advance about the story you'll tell me.
In general terms: I have a lot of feelings about families lost & found & chosen, and about loyalty, and about being fiercely alive, and about being othered and monstered and embracing that and defining what it means rather than letting it define you. In terms of sex-related squicks (should you feel moved to write sex; I really don't mind either way), pretty much the only restriction is that I would like there to be enthusiastic informed consent. I include slightly more detailed specific notes below in case you'd like something to bounce off, but as I say: really I am just looking forward to the story you have to tell.
Check, Please!
So I actually know basically nothing about ice hockey, but I am extraordinarily into Bitty and taking-care-of-people-by-feeding-them and Jack's fraught relationship with his parents and Lardo's complicated feelings about everything and how crap everyone is at, like, having an attention span and remembering why they're where they are (LARDO'S ART SHOW, PEOPLE). I appear to have acquired the headcanon that Bitty is trans, and that (thank youaella_irene) he took his dad's name when he changed his name, hence his dad always being referred to as Coach. (Naturally neither of these needs to be included! But it amuses me to attempt to spread them.) Baking recipes: a definite bonus.
Howl series
To the surprise of nobody ever I am very very into how Calcifer and Sophie interact and choose to make each other family, and what this means in terms of Calcifer giving Howl stern instructions about ways to make Sophie happier, and also domestic harmony and domestic bliss (and shared meals) and so on and so forth. Yes. <3
Jupiter Ascending
Caine has found pack. He has found his pack and he has found how to have a family and he has the immense relief of belonging, and of belonging to Stinger and Kiza and Jupiter and Jupiter's clan, and it is a relief and a comfort and basically anything at all involving how he is settled and grounded and knows what he is and is looked after will hit me right in the feels. Also? There is absolutely no trope at all about subby space-angel werewolves that I won't enjoy.
The Middleman
I Am Very Into Modern Sculpture these days, it turns out, so idk, ART CRAWL? Ladies interacting and people looking out for each other and terribly earnest (with a twinkling of the eye) deadpanning. Yes. I adore this ridiculous little show and every single one of their ridiculous faces.
The Night Circus
... I just adore the circus. I adore all the new tents. I adore the things that appear. I adore the everything slightly unsettling. I just want it to go on forever. I don't mind at all when (before or after Poppet/Bailey/Widget, and goodness but apparently I have a lot of feelings I'd not really thought about before about those three and how they interact and what they are to each other); I adore Celia and Marco also; and the tents and the stories they tell and the collaboration and delight they represent, yes yes yes. If you could perhaps invent me a new tent I would be overjoyed.
Zahrah the Windseeker
Cryptozoology! Jungles! Friendship and learning to trust oneself and worldbuilding! I would love to explore more, basically, and to know more about the biotechnology and engineering and the forest.
But really: just thank you. <3
