Thank you in advance for gifting me a story, and I hope this letter makes it easier and/or more enjoyable for you. Apologies for being late to unlock it!

First I'll get squicks and dislikes out of the way. Please no rape or torture, unless it’s just alluded to or mentioned - nothing explicit or the focus of the story, please. I'd also like a limit of "gross-out" elements like gory details and bodily fluids. Or completely grim stories, though these sources do have grim parts and that's part of the appeal. I'd rather the sadness not be relentless and total. Unless it's symbiotic with the story you want to tell! Gen, het, and femslash are all fine, but my preference is that m/m slash not be the focus of the story, since I’m not really interested in it. I'm good with AUs or crossovers, or holiday-fic for holidays that are canonical or could plausibly be canonical. Though if it's an AU there would be different rules as to canonical holidays. Any combination of the characters is cool, or even alone.

As for the fandom prompts! I've been immersed in some of these more recently than in others, and those are the ones that get me rambly because they haven't had as much time to settle in and I remember details better. I've also requested W.I.T.C.H., Spellsong Cycle, and Romeo x Juliet on several occasions (for Yuletide and Rarewomen), with the same characters except for the addition of Elyon to the W.I.T.C.H roster. So you can look to old letters if you wish. Lastly, the types of prompts turned out pretty similar, but they're only to provide a jumpstart if one is necessary. I'd be interested in stories different from the kind suggested here!

Dear Yuletide Author,

Thank you for giving me a story. I hope you will like doing it, and that this letter will be of use. Sorry for the wait in unlocking it!

First, my squicks and and dislikes. Please no rape or torture, unless it’s just alluded to or mentioned – nothing explicit or the focus of the story, please. Or completely grim stories, though these sources do have grim parts. I'd rather the sadness not be relentless and total. Unless it's very, very fitting for the story! Especially as Haunting of Hill House is one of my requests. Gen, het, and femslash are good, but my preference is that m/m slash not be the focus of the story, since I’m not really interested in it.

I don't mind AUs or crossovers, or holiday-fic for holidays that are canonical or could plausibly be canonical. Though if it's an AU there would be different rules as to canonical holidays. Any combination of the characters is cool, or even alone. Now onto fandoms! I read or watched some of these canons more recently than others; those sections of the letter are bigger because I remember more details to make suggestions. Also, some bits are the same as from the letters for previous exchanges. They’re all more fill-in-the-gaps types of prompts than not, but those are just for ideas! I will love other stuff as well.

I have to say, I prefer the anime with regards to designs and the fight scenes. But the art is cute, sometimes really pretty, and the cuteness of how Juliet and Romeo are drawn emphasizes their innocent love. Also I love the color pages.

So I finished roughly two hours ago, and finished writing my thoughts a few minutes later. Then I stopped to watch parts of Fellowship of the Ring because my brother had it on. I was about to feed my cat who keeps interrupting this process but he just went to finish his food. Here we go.

Cut for length, overuse of the comma and the word guy.
