 Dear Yuletide Writer, 

Hello! Thank you very much for writing something for me, I'm really excited for this! I've never done Yuletide or any other fic exchanges before so I hope I manage to include all the info you need here- really, just write whatever you want! I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever you end up doing. 

DNWs: No explicit sex please. I'm fine with fade-to-black, and innuendo and sexual references aren't a problem, but please avoid full-blown smut. Otherwise I'm cool with pretty much everything- if something is going to hit an archive warning, please tag it appropriately so I know about it, but you're welcome to write whatever :) 

I'm a big fan of slice-of-life type stories, adventure, and found family tropes. Romance is cool if that's what you want to do, as are AUs. Pretty much any tone is fine as well, I'll enjoy something angsty just as much as a funny story. 

So, onto my fandoms. 

Vienna (Big Finish Audio): There is a reasonable chance you won't know this fandom, it's incredibly tiny and I'm currently the only person with any fic written for it. As a result, I'm keen for literally any story, if you are familiar with it! Vienna is a pretty awesome assassin, so I'd be happy for a story of her just going about her business, preferably with some slightly insane plot twists. Something set after she joins Jexie would be cool too- buddy cop duo in space and fighting capitalism is such a great premise that I think it's kind of hard to go wrong, there. 

The Penumbra Podcast: Juno Steel: Well, what can I say. I have a soft spot for criminal types in space. And they're all super queer, which is a definite bonus. I haven't specified any characters because I love absolutely all of them, and will be happy with anything. This one might be quite cool to just look at the everyday life of these guys, actually. Something in the style of a Rita Minute as she tries to corral her useless boss into actually being a functional human being? Perfect. Juno and Peter pining over each other? The only way to beat that would be if they were actually functional together. Peter trying to steal a thing? Excellent, and give him a ridiculous alias while you're at it. Day in the life of Sasha Wire, Dark Matters Operative? I'm definitely curious to see what she's up to outside of fighting robots in Old Town. 

Bernice Summerfield (Books & Audio): I'm an archaeology student, so of course I have to nominate this one. For Benny, I'd love to see something with her family, either biological or found. I'm thinking either Collection (preferably one of the happy bits, but if you want to write Life During Wartime angst, then that's great too) or Legion era. Either way, I'd love to see Benny settling into a more stable period of her life, surrounded by friends. Bev Tarrant is an absolutely epic character and I'd be delighted to receive something exploring her in more detail. I'd be equally happy with something involving family bonding with Peter when they're on Legion- exactly how successful you want to make that bonding is up to you. 

Emelan- Tamora Pierce with character: Briar Moss (Emelan- Pierce): I think this might actually be a fandom I'd like seeing some weird AUs for. At some point I got the mental image of Briar trying to move into a student residence and ending up with a room entirely covered in plants, to the point that there isn't any useable space anywhere. Whether he actually has magic in this, or if he just likes plants a lot, is up to you. I'd have a lot of fun with any modern AU with Briar, Tris, Daja, and Sandry, if that's something you'd be keen on writing. Briar acting as a mentor for Evvy is also absolutely adorable in any setting.

So, yeah. I hope some of that is helpful- don't worry about sticking to my ideas, really, I'm looking forward to reading whatever you write for me, I'm sure it'll be fantastic!
