Hi, person writing me a Yuletide gift! Thank you in advance! I am already delighted. I'm going to put a little bit of additional information here in case you find that helpful, but I promise I am overall very easily pleased and every time I open a story that's for me I clap my hands together like a happy toddler. I mostly write these because I always want to know about my recipient, to be honest. Maybe you do too. Either way, I hope you have a fantastic time.

( general things about me )

Requests:

( Remember You Will Die – Eden Robins )

( The Trials of Gabriel Ward = Sally Smith )

( Cyclist Friend Explains Necessity of $35 Socks – The Onion )

( All of Us Murderers = KJ Charles )

Hello lovely Yuletide Author! I am so, so pleased you also love one of these tiny fandoms! That's so great. I've written some bits about myself here just so that you have them if you want them - I am not, I think, particularly fussy, and I genuinely believe the point of Yuletide is to have fun, so if there is something you really want to write, please go for it!

I personally always love having some guidance from my Yuletide recipient, so I've written out some stuff below for you to look at if you want.

( some things I like and don't like, generally speaking, in my Yuletide fic )


Specific fandom comments:

( Two Venetian Women and Other Paintings Featuring the Same Models - Eugene de Blaas )

( A Charm of Magpies Series - K. J. Charles )

( 30歳まで童貞だと魔法使いになれるらしい | Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (TV) )


Hopefully some of that was useful. Thank you again, Yuletide Santa, and I hope you have a great holiday, whatever you celebrate!

Hi, lovely Yuletide Author!

I am super excited that you signed up for one of these fandoms, and can't wait to see what you come up with. My number one favourite thing to do for fun is geeking out, and if there's something you feel nerdily compelled to write, please do it: the story you love is going to be the best one. However, I know I really appreciate getting to learn a little bit about the person I'm writing for, so if you'd like, here you go.


( Me generally )

My specific requests:

1. ( Piranesi - Susanna Clarke )

2. ( The Babysitter's Club (TV 2020) )

3. ( A Suitable Boy (TV) )

So there we go. Hopefully that will be helpful! Thank you, secret author!

Jon is very careful not to read Martin's mind without asking.

 

or: Five times Jon appreciated his Archivist powers.

It's possible I've got a lot of feelings about this particular podcast that I was not expecting. Some of them are apparently being expressed by writing deeply, deeply fluffy and domestic Jon/Martin fic. I hope you like it.

Hi Yuletide Author!

I love Yuletide, and my very favourite thing about it is that people LOVE THINGS. I am so happy about the existence of fannish, nerdy joy! If your fannish nerdy joy will be destroyed by reading further into this letter, please don't: I'd much rather you wrote the story that makes you happy. If, however, you'd like to know a bit more about me, here some is.

( me generally )

Requests:

1. ( The Untamed )

2. ( Guardian )

3. ( Derry Girls )

thanks again for agreeing to write me a story,

Hello, dear Yuletide Author! Thankyou for saying you'll write a story for one of these tiny fandoms!

Characters: Eleanor Shellstrop, Chidi Anagonye, Tahani Al-Jamil, Jianyu Li | Jason Mendoza
Summary:

Some of Michael's reboots work better than others.

This story is all about how much I love 1. Eleanor Shellstrop and 2. puns. I hate the summary (I only realised I didn't have one at the last minute and panicked) but I really enjoyed writing this! I love The Good Place a huge amount and am super excited it's back soon. I was also super glad my recipient seemed to have the exact same feeling about it as I do, namely that they should all get it on and be very happy forever goshdarnit.


And for my gifts, I got TWO, because I am SUPER LUCKY.
