Dear Yuletide Writer
To start off with - sorry, sorry, sorry I've been so slow to get to this!
Fandoms I nominated were:
Breakfast Club, with Brian and Bender as the characters. TBH, as long as you don't write something centred purely on a love story between one of those boys and someone else, I don't mind what you write: write them young or old or in between; write them successful or starving; friends, lovers or enemies - write about all the old gang or just one or two of them: it's all good!
Foreigner with Bren as the character. All I ask here is that you don't give Barb a central role.
Lewis with James and Robbie as the characters. I'd love to see something where James and Robbie are still friends (or more) about ten years from now. Where has life taken them and what are they doing? If that doesn't appeal to you, then perhaps a 3rd-person view of their relationship - not Jean or Laura, one of the minor characters or even an OC?
Jeeves with Jeeves and Bertie as the characters. I love the books, and if you love them too then I am sure you'll write something I enjoy.
Gotta go do family stuff, but I'll come back later to write about my squicks etc. It probably won't differ much from last year.
ETA: Squicks and No-Gos
I don't have a lot of squicks, but dubcon of a certain type pushes my buttons - it's the type where a person feels backed into a corner and says yes even though they hate it. I would prefer not to read that. Straight non-con doesn't push that button, and I have no problem with dubcon of the under-the-influence or mixed-messages-but-enjoying-it kind.
Graphic Violence is a squick. I don't mind plot-necessary violence, but I don't want to dwell on the details.
Breathplay is a No-Go. I have a child who has had bad asthma attacks and I seriously cannot cope with breathplay.
Also Under-16 Child/Adult sexual interaction as a fetish is a No-Go. That doesn't mean you couldn't write a story in which a child character is abused - just as long as the reader isn't meant to find the abuse sexy. I also have no problem with roleplay or with underage where they are equally underage. (I do make an exception for Derek/Stiles but well, um, nuff said really )
Incest (although I don't mind the Weasley twins sharing a playmate).
Turn-Ons
Assplay
Love
Fun
PS: I don't like assassins, ninjas, vampires, zombies, criminals or pirates. Werewolves, OTOH, I have a distinct partiality for!
