If you're reading this and would like a holiday card, I would like to send you one! International is fine and I don't care if you're not sending cards yourself.

Comments are screened if you'd like to leave your address, or you can PM me or email me or something if you'd rather.

(I'm sorry this letter is a bit late. If you already have an idea you're excited about writing, feel free to disregard this and carry on!)

Dear femslash12 writer,

Thank you so much for writing me a story! I feel sure I will love whatever you come up with. ♥

I've included a bit more detail on my general likes/dislikes and requested pairings, but feel free to ignore these optional details and run with your own ideas instead.

In general, I like: angst, happy stories, happy/hopeful endings, bleak endings, humour, dark humour, domesticity, found families, enemies forced to work together, people getting along, conflict, world-building, pining, competence, desperation, characters who love each other, characters who are using each other, characters who are rebuilding their lives from the ground up, trust issues, friends who turn into lovers, first times, AUs (ones that split from canon and ones taking place in a completely different setting), emotional intimacy, emotional repression, loyalty, kissing, sex that doesn't solve anything, sex that isn't perfect, consensual sex, dubcon, redemption arcs, hand-holding, and time travel.

In general, I dislike: noncon, character bashing, pregnancy fic, kid fic, infidelity, and stories told in the first person.

(I'm idella on livejournal, AO3, pinboard and delicious, so if you want to poke around further, feel free.)

I am not a huge fan of porn without plot and would prefer a fic rated G (general audiences) through R (just shy of explicit). I would prefer for characters who are under 16 (or passing for under 16) to not be having sex in your fic. If you want to age the characters up, that's fine.

Please be assured I will be equally pleased whichever pairing/threesome you choose to write! ♥

( optional details are under the cut )

I'm super-excited to see what you come up with!

Love,
idella

Dear femslash writer,

Thank you so much for writing me a story! I think you're wonderful already.

I love all of the sources and characters I've requested and I'm pretty easy to please, so I'm sure I'll love whatever you write. I'm really excited to see what you come up with. :D

( optional details, if you're interested )

Thanks again, and happy writing. :)

I don't usually ship anyone in Connie Willis books because they're so sexless, but there needs to be desperate, angsty Polly/Mike/Eileen. Or, really, ANY SORT OF RELATIONSHIP involving sex or kissing or longing. Mike has two girls! Also, no coat and he needs to be keep warm! This post is srsly being brought to you by huddling under coats. Mike and Eileen would sacrifice themselves to save Polly! Eileen and Polly share a bed!

WHERE IS THE FIC? SRSLY, I WILL WRITE THIS MYSELF.

Music meme, from memories_child, who gave me the letter T.

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload) 5 songs you love that begin with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

( T: not starting as many song titles as you might think )

Let me know if you want a letter for your very own.

When the Vlad Taltos series gets to Hawk, it should totally be written in Paarfi-voice, y/mfy? Goodness knows what, exactly, will happen that will be so compelling that Paarfi will deign to chronicle it, but surely at some point the series will get back to uh, Issola-type stuff? *vague hands*

Happy New Year, flist!

I have read ridiculously few of this year's Yuletide stories. This is still a rec post. Twenty bookmarks at AO3, and links to ten favourites under the cut.

( Anastasia Krupnik; Babylon 5; Bridge to Terabithia; Don't Care High; Dragaera (Vlad Taltos); Fairy Tales (Rumpelstiltskin); Harriet the Spy; The Pigeon; The Royal Tenenbaums; The Thin Man; The Wire )
