Dear Yuletide Author

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Firstly thank you for taking on my fic, I know I'll love whatever you write for me.

General fic likes/dislikes

I like a fairly wide range of fics, though I particularly enjoy a bit of world building, outside POV, coming out story or found family.
I absolutely cannot stand excess embarrassment for characters (American sitcom style 'ha ha look how embarrassed he is' style humour). It's my biggest squick and I seriously cannot read it.
I prefer slash but I do like some het if there is a very strong, self contained woman (see: Grace Ryder or Veronica Mars) or if it's part of a poly relationship. I prefer closed poly relationships which only contain those within the OT3/4 but they don't need to be in the same kinds of relationships (a mix of romantic/platonic as fits everyone's needs), but mostly I don't like deception with my poly. 
I prefer happy endings or at least hopeful ones.
I prefer not to have sex be the major focus. I don't at all mind some porn (Except in Julie and the Phantoms. Thinking about them in a serious sexual way squicks me) but I much prefer the development of the relationship that goes with it.

1. Julie and the Phantoms

DNW: Explicit Sexual Content for this fandom (For me that means nothing more than PGish - kissing, hugging, lying together, etc. No one should be sticking their hands down anyone's pants.)

I would love to see one of two things depending on your level of okay with OT3/4.

1. Reggie/Luke/Alex(/Julie if you like, so long as it's respectful of Alex's sexuality (platonic relationship between Julie and Alex within an OT4 is totally okay with me) and there's no deception) Falling in love, falling into what it means to be poly, figuring out relationships (in 1995 and now). I don't much care about the show's Caleb plot and am totally happy with just soft, fluffy love. Carlos, Ray and Flynn are also excellent and are welcome.

2. Found family. The boys finding a new normal and a new family.

 

Basically, give me lovely fluffy happiness from the wonderful himbos we love. (Reggie is my favourite, do with that as you will.)

Things I love in this fandom: How dumb and unaware Luke can be and his little 'ah ha!' face when he figures something out, how very amused by the 'chemistry' scene Alex was and how he has just a few more brain cells than the others, Reggie's utter desire for a family (oh baby, you hurt my heart a little) and his stupid confused face, every face Luke makes at Julie, them being confused by modern lingo and technology, the fact that Julie hugging them makes them glow and saves them.

About Willy. I am not super attached to him, so if you want to leave him out to make it easier if you go the OT3/4 route that will not bother me, but it also wouldn't bother me if you left him in. He is very welcome into the found family if that is the fic route you chose to follow.

 

2. 9-1-1 Lone Star

I would add everyone in this fandom if I could because I love all their stupid faces.

I love found family. I love the big brother relationship Judd has grown into. I love the way Grace is there to smack him around the head if he does something stupid. I love the way TK is trying to be better and how much Carlos obviously loves him.

I would love anything that plays with the connections they are building and how that anchors them all to Texas and each other. The rest of the firehouse is also very welcome, as is 'episode-fic' where they have to come together to solve problems that mirror their own.

I love Carlos/TK and am happy to have that as a big part of any fic but I am more interested in their connections to the others, whether they be supportive or just teasing siblings.

Crossover to the original 911 is also welcome if you have ideas in that direction but I would be just as stoked if you didn't.

Things I like about this fandom: I love the deliberate 'fuck you' of their character choice and location. I love everything about the growth we get to see in the character of Judd and also the way they still allow him chances to be smarter/better/more astute than the others even as he is growing and learning. I love TK's somewhat fraught relationship with his dad even as I want to smack Owen and his self-absorbed ego over the head a lot. I love the relationship between Judd and Grace and how much the embodiment of her name she is.

9-1-1 original: I am open to crossovers if that's a thing you'd be into. I'm very into Buck/Eddie if that's a route you take.

It's not a DNW but I tend to prefer fluffy fics and any major relapse stuff for TK wouldn't really be my jam.


3. Olympus Has Fallen

I am very interested in the reality of being a gay couple in a situation that isn't really conducive to coming out.

I would love a post-movie relationship and the realities and tensions of being secretive/outed/coming out. (I am also okay with this relationship having been pre-existing from before the accident and as a part of an OT3 with Maggie). I am a West Wing junkie if that gives you ideas.

If you're not up for that kind of story I'd love to see the closeness of their relationship/friendship from the beginning of the movie returning and possibly deepening even with the strains of the distrust/dislike that had existed between them in the meantime.

Extras: I don't mind kid fic and would welcome the family element of Mike's relationship with Connor. I like the banter between Mike and Ben and love their push and pull and mild antagonism. If you do go the outing route I find the media/social media's reaction to things like that very interesting. I've also seen London Has Fallen and am also great with that or elements of that being included. I haven't seen Angel Has Fallen.
