Dear Yuletide Writer
Oct. 16th, 2022 11:40 amGeneral do not wants: pederasty, non-consensual sex (except off screen as past hurt for current comfort), body fluid kinks, good characters being evil. Check my previous letters, where I was a lot more specific and eloquent at times about what I'm fussy over if you're uncertain. dyw letter tag at dreamwidth should do it.
General wants. More of what I found in the canon is good. I tend to only want AUs of the coffeeshop sort after I've had a glut of canonish fanfic. Fixit fic is about as AU as I go for small 'verses. That said, crossovers are fun.
I also love treats and drabbles!
Fandoms I have asked for
The New Avengers
Perennial hope for a cheerful smutty threesome, happy with anything that focuses on Gambit or has the three of them bantering and being awesome. See past letters for other ideas. Also did a fandom promo at https://yuletide.dreamwidth.org/281559.html?thread=4266199#cmt4266199
The Village that Slept. This gentle story of three children lost in an abandoned village in the Alps after a plane crash is a childhood favorite. Would love missing scenes, what comes after, world reaction to the story, interviews, etc. DNW sex, thanks. You can find the book at archive.org Fandom promo here: https://yuletide.dreamwidth.org/281559.html?thread=4266967#cmt4266967
Hank Winton series. I did a fandom promo for it. More adventures, missing scenes, stories from the p.o.v. of a minor or original character looking at something in canon. I don’t think I want to slash Jim and Hank, but you can try to convince me. The books were written in the 40s but WW2 isn’t mentioned. Mention it. https://yuletide.dreamwidth.org/281559.html?thread=3908311#cmt3908311 for the promo.
Mission Impossible. Love all these characters but especially Barney and Rollin. Any subset that includes them is fine. Vacations gone wrong are fun. Rescues and hurt/comfort are my jam. Not up for PWP here as the plots are half the fun. (Copypasta from an earlier yuletide letter: Mission Impossible (1966). Any. When I was a kid, I couldn’t decide whether I liked Barney, Jim, or Rollin best. As a grownup I can say “yay, fictional characters, I don’t have to choose!” In any case, if one of your favorite episodes was the one where Jim stumbled onto a nest of spies and got dosed and paralyzed with curare by Grandpa Walton, this is probably a good sign. Get Barney or Rollin in that kind of deep trouble and bring the rest of the team in to rescue them and I will be a happy camper. You don’t even have to show me the trouble if you can show the rescue part. Love hurt comfort with lots of comfort and displays of something which would be called affection in anyone who was actually comfortable showing affection. No one else is ever going to come to rescue these folks, after all, so they have to rescue each other. Similarly, I would be happy with an elaborate plan ala the series, a cracky crossover (Jim Phelps is actually Race Bannon from Jonny Quest!), missing scenes, or outside observers/different points of view for part of canon or some new adventure. Have Cinnamon take on all three of them if what you like is smut, or have her privately assessing the possibilities. (Do look at my general comments on fic, though.) Other members of the team aren’t on the tagset, but I like them too. Mission Impossible (1966). Any. When I was a kid, I couldn’t decide whether I liked Barney, Jim, or Rollin best.
