Manda's Ramblings

Placeholder for the moment. I'll come up with witty stuff later.

Until then, all of my previous Dear Yuletide Author letters can be found by following the tag.

Ack! This always sneaks up on me.

There will be an actual letter soon! The tag goes to other letters I've written, some of them with the same things I've asked for. They might help. But I'll be putting up a proper letter tomorrow, promise!

And thank you, Yuletide Author. Because you are awesome!

ETA: Actual letter!

First of all, thank you, Dear Yuletide Author, for signing up to participate and offering one of my fandoms! You've already made me a happy person without doing anything else. I also apologize for how sparse my prompts were in my sign up. I'd lost everything on the page once and it was getting late.

Let me start off with the general things: I like ships. I like relationships, friendships, getting to be friends. All of that sort of thing. I'm very, very happy to have porn, if you want to write that. Kink is good, but definitely no rape or dubcon. No abuse on screen, though you could allude to it in the past or at least off screen. I'm fine with most injuries but anything concerning the eyes or hands squicks the hell out of me. And I'd prefer no character deaths unless they've already happened in canon.

That said. On to the fandom stuff:

( Blood and Feathers - Lou Morgan )

( Captain Britain and MI-13 )

( Arthurian Mythology )

( The Hardy Boys - Franklin W. Dixon )

( The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher (Spoilers up to COLD DAYS) )

( October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire )

So. Let me say again, dearest Yuletide Author, that you are the best and I'm very much looking forward to unwrapping my gift on December 25th! I hope this letter has helped a bit. And thank you so much!

Dear Yuletide Author,

Thank you so much for signing up for Yuletide and offering to write in one of my fandoms! I'm already looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I have previous Dear Author letters tagged (though, really, that's kind of all that's on this journal), so you can see what I've said in the past about what I like.

( General things )

Now. On to the fandoms!
( Toby Daye )

( Captain Britain and MI:13 )

( Nightrunner )

I just want to thank you again and I'm already looking forward to December 25th!

Placeholder! Real thing will be coming soon!

ETA: Erm. My apologies, Yuletide author. My laptop has been giving me a lot of issues the last few days (in fact, only just after I received my assignment myself). I promise I will have a letter up soon and apologize for this taking so long. I am in your debt for putting up with me.

ETA the second: So...I never got around to doing this. December kicked my ass in a lot of ways and I just never was able to get the letter up. But seeing as this has gone up for pinch hit, I figure I may as well put up a couple of things.

1. Relationships are awesome. Slash is awesome. If you want to go that direction, by all means. (Except for Faiza and Dane. I really do ship them.) Any rating is fine. I like porn! Just give me a little plot to go with it, maybe?

2. I don't know where this could come in, but I'm fine with a little bit of kink. A little bondage, a little discipline, a little S&M. So long as it's consensual, because dub/non con is seriously not something I'm comfortable with.

3. I'm generally a fan of AUs, as long as they make sense? In Arthurian Mythology, the AU is practically canon. Or as much canon as possible. And Captain Britain and MI-13 has a lot of magic, so a lot can be handwaved. Which probably goes for the Rivers of London series as well. Which means I'm not really looking for a Hardy Boys AU, but if you can find a way to make it work? I will be very happy.

I'm very sorry that I didn't get this up sooner, but thank you very much for picking up the pinch hit. Hopefully this will help!

Dear Yuletide Author,

First of all, thank you so much for participating and signing up to write in one of the fandoms that I requested. I honestly love them all and there needs to be more fic for all of them.

Second, allow me to apologize for the complete and utter lack of details in my requests. I finally decided to do Yuletide at the last minute and I wasn't entirely certain what to do there. Hopefully, this will make up for that lack.

( Arthurian Mythology )

( Dresden Files - Jim Butcher (Spoilers under cut) )

( Captain Britain and MI-13 )

( The Authority )

That said? I will be happy with pretty much anything you write. I'm generally open-minded and the only things I would like you to avoid are non-con, character death (unless it's dealing with one that actually happens in canon), and any physical injuries that happen to the hands and eyes. Not a big fan of alternate universe except with Arthurian myth, but it's not a hard and fast stop there.

Thank you so much, Yuletide Author. I'm looking forward to my first Yuletide being great and I hope you receive a fic you love as well!
