Treats are always welcome – the more the merrier!

In general, I prefer more explicit stuff to be het, but with all MFM ships M/M is good as well – prefer all 3 be enjoying any spicy times.

Happy Seventeenth Yuletide  to Me!  I am as excited as the first one, and I hope you have a delightful time writing and reading!

My general preferences are here.  You can also use the "dear writer" tag but TBH I copy/paste letters a lot, so for fandoms I frequently request, this letter has the most updated version.

I AM OPEN TO TREATS, ALL THE TREATS YOU WANT TO WRITE.

Optional details are optional, but I love a good chatty letter.  I want to give you something to latch on to but don't feel constrained.  I have more to say about some but some of that is just more time requesting them.

Remember, whatever you write, I will love!  I know 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 has been rough on a lot of people, so please don't stress out too much because Yuletide will be wonderful!  2025 has had some good moments and some not-so good moments, so let's celebrate/escape  with awesome fic!  These are a mix - 1 repeat request, 1 repeat fandom, and 3 new (for Yuletide) requests.

Crossovers are definitely welcome, as are AUs!  If you cross it over with Clue or an Agatha Christie fandom/detective (Poirot, Marple, Ariadne Oliver, And Then There Were None) I'm good with anything - otherwise, see my preferences - cracky or serious crossovers welcome.  I also welcome any and all crossovers involving Nancy Drew.

I do enjoy the trappings of the Christmas holiday (mistletoe, gifts, hot chocolate, oh no we're snowed in together and must stay warm somehow... or we're trapped with a killer, family togetherness, snowball fights, traveling over the river and through the terminal) but do not require them.  If they work though, by all means, take advantage of it.

And again, have fun!

Shower the treats like rice!

I love weddings.  You cannot be too fluffy or have too many details, or get into too-ridiculous or too-complicated situations.  You want to go way over the top, I am your girl.

These are a few of my very favorite tags:

Wedding Reception - Unmarried Couple Fantasize About Their Future While At Friend's Wedding  - YES  I love it!  The whole, that could be us factor!  Also here for frank discussions of we are not having X at our wedding sort of stuff

Wedding Reception - Catching the Bouquet – Yes it’s old-fashioned and silly and I love it.  I especially love conspiracies to make sure someone specific gets it.

Wedding Ceremony - The Wedding Day Disaster You Laugh About in the Future  - So my first husband had to bribe a friend to overnight the ring because he left it on the kitchen counter (LDR).  It seemed huge at the time.  I’m open to ideas as long as they can still get married and aren’t too unhappy!

Proposal - While Watching Happy Friends Get Married – YES, although here maybe looking for that moment of I should ask, because it’s rude to propose at someone else’s wedding.  Or a private proposal that doesn’t detract.

Wedding - Something Old New Borrowed and Blue – I love this.  I could read a thousand variations on it, because what I love is seeing what’s important to the characters.

Wedding - That One Perfect Photograph at Your Wedding – That one moment you remember forever.

Anniversary - 1st Year – I love this opportunity to look forward and look back and be in love!

Wedding - Family Heirlooms Passed Down For Wedding – This can be tied to old/borrowed/new/blue but I love that little connection to the past or a loved one you miss.

Dimension Travel - Getting Together After Meeting The AU Married Couple Version of Themselves – I love the meeting AND the realization and the getting together.

Wedding Reception - Best Man and Maid of Honor Get Together – It’s a classic, especially if the bride and groom are trying to throw them together.

Bachelor(ette) Party – Hijinks & Shenanigans – Also a classic, as long as the hijinks do not involve infidelity.
