Dear Yuletide Author
8/10/17 21:08Hello fellow author! Thanks in advance for writing me a story in one of these awesome fandoms! All prompt ideas are suggestions only, so you don’t have to follow them if you don’t want to. I’m totally ok with both gen and smut fic, so write whatever you’re comfortable with.
I like plotty fic, ship fic, character studies, fluff, seasonal-themed fic, most AUs, romance, smut, bondage and dub-con.
I don’t like gore/detailed descriptions of violence, major character death, rape, unprompted infidelity, a/b/o or watersports, so please stay away from that.
Being Erica
Requested Characters: Dr. Tom, Erica Strange
I adore Being Erica and I was so pleased to see it nominated. The time travel therapy initially hooked me, but I came to love the relationship between Dr. Tom and Erica and how both grow and changed over the course of the series. I ship these two so, so hard, but I’d be totally happy with gen fic if you don’t ship them.
Something involving the complex relationship between them would be great. What subtle changes occur as Erica goes from being a patient to a fellow therapist? (Feel free to ignore the ‘Tom can’t see Erica again’ rule the show had) How does their doctor/patient roles play out in a romantic situation, during or post-series? They dug around plenty in each other’s pasts, but their must be more things they don’t know about each other. If you want to write something Christmas-themed, what about an awkward exchange of presents between them or a therapy session involving a holiday in Erica’s past?
Ship: Dr. Tom/Erica
Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior
Requested Characters: Mick Rawson, Jonathan "Prophet" Simms
I love the friendship between Mick and Prophet, and I wish we had gotten more on them. Casefic would be lovely, but anything involving them would be great. How did each come to join the FBI? When did they first meet? What do they do in their spare time? Anything involving standard Christmas/winter tropes would be neat to see, as would post-canon fic involving either of them and the wider cast (Beth lives, damnit!). Wacky AU settings would be awesome, too.
Ships: Mick/Prophet, Mick/Beth
Kamen Rider Build
Requested Characters: Banjou Ryuuga, Kiryuu Sento
Oh, these two. I love the weird relationship they have, and look forward to seeing how their friendship/partnership evolves as the show goes on. I would love to see them hanging out and having fun, either together or separately. What kind of trouble does Ryuuga get into while Sento’s at work? Does Souichi make either of them work in the cafe instead of paying rent? (Maid outfits optional) Ryuuga teaching Sento some boxing moves would be cool, as would Sento trying to get Ryuuga interested in science.
Ships: Sento/Ryuuga, Souichi/Sento
Ookiku Furikabutte | Big Windup!
Requested Characters: Abe Takaya, Mihashi Ren
I’ve watched all of the anime and I’m caught up on the manga, so feel free to include manga spoilers.
I love the relationship between Mihashi and Abe, and the growth both have shown so far. Although exact opposites, they play off each other very nicely, so I’d love a story about them learning from each other (whether it be baseball-related or how to be in a relationship with the other), or one helping the other with a problem of some sort. Something dealing with their communication issues would be lovely as well, and I’m open to any type of AU you want to put them in, as well as other characters appearing in the fic.
Ship: Abe/Mihashi
全职高手 - 蝴蝶蓝 | Quánzhí Gāoshǒu - Húdié Lán
Requested Character: Ye Xiu
While I’m slowly reading the novel, I’m not at the point where the anime ended, so I’d appreciate no spoilers for anything beyond that point.
Ye is such an interesting character. He’s a top Glory player but prefers to live in obscurity, is shameless about his skill at games yet doesn’t take care of himself all that well, and only has a few close friends despite knowing a lot of players. I’d love to see something about his early years in Glory or his rise through the ranks to become a top player. Him participating in a Glory Christmas/holiday event would be cool, especially if some of the other characters were involved. An AU set in a fantasy world would be awesome as well!
Ships: Ye/Yifan, Ye/Bao Rongxing
Star Trek Discovery
Requested Characters: Saru, Philippa Georgiou, Michael Burnham
I’m fully expecting more development for all requested characters, so author, don’t worry if what you have written doesn’t match what is shown on the screen by the time Christmas rolls around. Depending on what happens, I may like your fic more than canon!
An in-depth look at any one of the characters would be wonderful – how did Saru or Captain Georgiou end up on the Shenzou? What did Saru do after the Shenzou was abandoned? What was Michael’s life on Vulcan like? Saru and Georgiou worked together before Michael arrived – what missions did they go on and what was their relationship like? Like most of the fandom, I ship Michael and Georgiou hard, so something about their relationship would be fantastic, whether it be shippy or not. I’m also interested in the relationship between Saru and Michael, since they’re not nearly as close to each other as other senior officers have been on other Trek shows. I’d like to see them really start to respect each other as individuals and become friends despite all they’ve been through (or perhaps because of it).
Ships: Michael/Georgiou, Saru/Michael
