Hello kind yuletide writer! This is really long and largely a rehash of my sign up (but with more links, probably, and possible updates for Pitch). I'm also on tumblr and imzy! If none of the nonsense below is helpful to you, just forge your own path. I believe in you, friend!

Generally I don't care for: death, pining that doesn't get resolved, polyamory, infidelity, bdsm, rape, torture and abuse, a/b/o, second person pov, mundane AUs.

I like: PINING (that gets resolved), weirdos pining weirdly, people being terrible about talking about feelings, werewolves, outsider POV, amnesia, shenanigans, people being dorks, domesticity, porn, teams, family/chosen family, awkwardness, stories with puppies or babies in them, coming out/meeting the family stories, obliviousness, roadtrips, bodyswap, genderswap, cuddling, punching out feelings if it fits the canon, characters taking care of each other. I've got a major equality/partners kink, too.

But seriously, have fun! I look forward to seeing what you've got for me come the 25th!

Poor LJ, only used for Yuletide things these days. But it's still so handy for this. Mostly I'm over on tumblr.

Hello!! If we matched then you've seen most of the details in the letter, but here it all is again, and my general likes/dislikes. Optional details are optional, so if all of my ideas are making you D: go with whatever works for you!

Summary:

Arranged marriage AU in which we mash up every romance novel we've ever read, from every conceivable era. Originally written in email 1/17-2/3/2012, minimally edited.

hey guys remember when I wrote things? ME NEITHER. This is actually from 2012, I only just got around to copying and pasting from the uh, 250 emails Go Gentle and I exchanged to make it one document. Also maybe this will kick start my interest in writing again/make me feel like doing it to the rest of the stuff gathering dust in there. I'm calling it Care Package fic, pretty sure she'd call it "Allison really wants a dog" fic

I wrote two fics for yuletide, unsurprisingly for the Raven Cycle books, which was great because I was literally like 8 pages into The Dream Thieves when signups closed and I was so amped for my assignment because I had so many feelings. Thus, two fics!

(When I first sent an email to allthespoons and beatperfume about this idea at 2:30 in the morning it was "conduit porn" but then I thought about it and was like "yeah, that doesn't fit at all." BUT IT WAS NICE TO THINK ABOUT.)

And now I'm gonna watch the Miss Fisher Christmas Special and probably claw my entire face off. WHERE IS MY 800,000 WORD EPIC ABOUT JACK FEELING GUILTY FOR HOW BADLY HE WANTS TO DO IT WITH PHRYNE???????????????

I'm so spoiled you guys! I got two yuletide gifts and two madness treats! All in different fandoms!

Not Just Another Experiement a 21 Jump Street Jenko/Zach future fic/pre-slash thing and I LOVE Zack in it.

The 2-Train from City Hall to Brooklyn is Kate/Leo!!! and oh god it's a little hurty but in a good way. Oh these crazy kids.

My treats are also fabulous, Sweetest in the Middle by someone who I may or may not have demanded Jenny/Irving platonic bed sharing from last night.

and oh god it's kind of embarassing how YES I am on this Toby Daye treat with puppies. abundance of blessings. YOU NAILED IT, KIND STRANGER.

now I'm going to go drink a gallon of water to drown this hangover so I can drink another bottle or two of wine with my extended family!

Jk see you in the PST am mildly hungover. <333333333 merry Christmas friends

And I feel like I should apologize in advance for how I'm probably going to drunk comment on my gifts if the archive opens before midnight PST. I'm pretty sure the Christmas Eve plan around here is to eat delicious food and drink a lot of red wine while watching Die Hard.

Home is great, home is not nor ever will be "Feels like -17" so suck it, Chicago, California forever. Or you know, like a week.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I wish marquees were still a thing. Glittery, sparkly marquees.

ETA: 7:54 pm pst and I am HAMMERED. I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR

I am GIDDY about my yuletide assignment and actually feeling a groove to FINALLY finish my AO3 auction fic. I honestly don't think I've written anything since March. It's almost as though starting a new job that requires me to use my brain a lot during the day can be mentally draining.

You'd think all the time off recently would help with that but mostly it was full of baking and blobbing. And reading! Everyone make allthespoons make a giant post about The Raven Cycle so you can scream about them with us.

I can't imagine being anything but thrilled no matter what fandom we're matched on :D

OK FRIENDS, before this goes public am I a) forgetting some very important fandom that I'll be killing myself for not including? b) do I come across as completely crazy? if so, is it at least marginally charming? let's go, yuletide!

and writer, feel free to drop an anon comment or bug impertinence, go_gentle or natacup82 if you get stuck. We overlap on a lot of these fandoms and have rolled around on the internet ground shouting about them in glee.

So this happened last night and like, Hum Hallelujah made me want to read all the old fic, A Little Less 16 Candles made me scream VAMPIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in my head, I was furious that kalpurna wasn't there for me to clutch and scream with during Thriller. Also that all my peeps weren't there in general because I can't really imagine going to a bandom show and not rolling 10 deep but W/E IT WAS STILL GREAT.

And now I really need someone (named drunktuesdays probably) to put together a recs list of "all the fic you loved in 2007".

(PETE LOOKED REALLY HAPPY, HE WAS DRESSED RIDICULOUSLY. ANDY WASN'T AT ALL. dressed. PATRICK TALKED!)

anyway, going back to reading Code Name Verity inbetween watching old videos.

Bid on me! Support the AO3 and I'll write you a story! Hockey RPF, Toby Daye, The Americans, Elementary.

Or if you're like "I know you are obsessed with this fandom/pairing, so why didn't you include it in your list" drop me a line and I'll see if I think I could write for it! Because that is definitely a list I threw together all "oh shit, I meant to do this yesterday and now my parents are about to show up at my condo".

I had a very full weekend and month and I was really going to try to write up something big and long but after everything today, I'm not really feeling it. But everyone I know and love is safe, if not in my living room where I can pass out beer and wine like I'd prefer, so that's a good start.

I've really been wanting this porn to exist since Casey and I first watched Goon a million years ago, and I finally got around to it! Pretty sure everyone knew it was me (as Katarin said "Oh, the Goon fic with the Hold Steady title? WHO COULD THAT BE.) but w/e I've never been good at sneaky yuletide. Thanks to everyone on my tumblr dash who reblogged this scene eight million times and LaFlamme's face.

Summary:

Toby thinks Tybalt's confession will lead to them sleeping together right away. Tybalt has other ideas.

I went trawling through the Toby Daye prompts because I'd read the books after sign ups so I obviously couldn't have offered it, but had lots of feelings when I finished them all. Ancalime's prompt was great, and Imp and I half plotted what we'd want to write but busy and other thing etc. But then she popped up on the pinch hit list and I was like LET'S DO IT (without actually claiming it because what if we fail). And then we wrote it and I was like "cool, now I'm in California and only have my ipad and haven't figured out word processing on this really soooo you edit it! And post it while I climb mountains." SO THANKS BUDDY.

Also after bowing out of Game of Thrones S1 after 3 episodes, I ended up watching 7 episodes of S2 in a row with my mom and dad last Friday after my mom was like I CAN'T WAIT FOR NETFLIX TO GET IT and dad ordered HBO through the TV. So now I have their cable password and am watching all of it online. Love you, the future.

And since LJ really kind of seems to be going to hell, I think I'm going to try using DW more. We'll see how this goes!

So allthespoons and I were sitting around drinking wine and watching hockey games from 2009 which somehow made me think of Doug Weight and we started IRL chat ficcing, so I then bugged just_katarin because I know my audience.

I like: people being terrible about talking about feelings, shenanigans, pining that gets resolved, people being dorks, domesticity, porn, teams, family/chosen family, outsider POV, awkwardness, stories with puppies in them, stories with babies in them, coming out/meeting the family stories, obliviousness, roadtrips, amnesia, bodyswap, genderswap, epistolary fic, cuddling (for warmth or otherwise), characters taking care of each other.

Notes: Totally cheated re: the bodyswap AU prompt because the last time I wrote body swap porn just figuring out how to make all the pronouns make sense in the porn took about three days.

Thanks to go_gentle for telling me I'm pretty and checking this over for me.

Today is either GLORIOUS or TRAGIC depending on your opinions re: cradle robbing. It is Jeff Skinner's last day as a teenager and I just think it should go out with a bang!

(pun absolutely intended)

So how about a Skinner comment fic party? SOMEONE TELL ME HOW eSTAAL FEELS ABOUT THEIR AGES STARTING WITH THE SAME NUMBER!

Does Team Canada do anything for him at worlds? Or his old buddy Landeskog? Or great American Justin Faulk?

Or if you want to go back a bit time wise and wallow in the good old days when he was eighteen! Or anything, really. Doesn't even have to be porn.  Just tell me a story :D?

Now if only I didn't have to work today and we could attack this Blizznasty style. But seriously, go to town in the comments!
