This is the result of my initial run through the archive. I have a ton still to read, but I wanted to get as much as I could up before the reveal. Aaaaand, I still have comments to go back and leave for a lot of these, the ones that I read earlier this week in the static archive while AO3 was in the middle of flooding issues.

Also, I apologize in advance if these have all been rec'd out a hundred times before. I haven't had the chance to glance back over my flist to see what everyone else has done yet. I was going to do quotes/give more details/whatever, but coding was a bitch (and also I got lazy).

And on that note: HAPPY NEW YEAR, FLIST!

Dear Yuletide Writer,


Hi! Thanks so much in advance. I love every one of these fandoms and I'm really looking forward to whatever you write for me!

In terms of general things I like in fic, I'm pretty flexible as long as the story is well-written. I almost always lean towards het and canon pairings, but I also appreciate a good gen fic. My absolute favorite characters are almost always women. I love backstory and character studies. Whether I prefer gen/friendship or romance generally depends on the fandom, but I do tend towards shipping/romance. I'm a huge fan of slow burn UST, but I also really like smut as long as everything is consensual.

I like just about any genre, and I think the most important thing to me in fic is endings. I do admit that I like somewhat upbeat endings, although I also like well-done angst, things that make me feel. I think my very favorite category would be at least hopeful whenever appropriate, but as long as the ending fits the story, I'm happy. A good ending will stand out and stay with me, make the story really memorable.

With that said: on to the requests!

Happy Yuletide! And thanks again :)
