Dear Yuletide Author,

It’s my favorite fannish time of year: Yuletide.

Do Not Wants and general likes, followed by fandom-specific details, below. If there’s a discrepancy between the DNWs/general likes and the fandom-specific details, go with the fandom-specific. Mixing and matching fandoms and prompts more than welcome.

My absolute favorite things: werewolves, crossovers and alternate universes (the stranger and more unusual the better), and monsters and magic.

I’m escritoireazul at AO3. Treat option is enabled.

Life is a mess right now and my letter is not nearly as detailed as usual. You can find old letters under the Yuletide tag if you want to see what I've written before.

Across the board, the AUs I would love to see: Werewolf packs. Teaming up to survive horror movie scenarios and save the girls (summer camp killers, haunted houses, cursed objects). Adventures in Space. Jaeger pilots. Elite athletes. Scientists fighting underground monsters. Weird west. Surviving inhospitable locations.

The other day I realized this will be my 17th Yuletide, and that reminded me that I haven't done a retrospective through 2020. In that time I've received at least 30 gift fics. (I think my count is missing some from the pre-AO3 days.)

I'm up to 77 Yuletide stories written for 56 people across 38 fandoms. That's 4 new stories, 3 new people, and 1 new fandom for 2020.

I am nominating this for Yuletide, and I need help with one of the character names. The redhead is Megan, but the French brunette is whoever signed this letter (I think I've got the link where it should open right on the letter). There is an S at the beginning and maybe a z in there. Can anyone else actually read it?

Also: I love this fucking ad so damn much.

ETA: Many thanks to raine for finding the names! And to raine and paperscribe for pointing out the redhead is Gemma. Which I knew, and is what I meant to say, and I have no idea where Megan came from. I wasn't even listening to anything with the name Megan in it!

Anyway, Gemma and Sieza are headed to Yuletide!

Two things.

One: I'm tempted to request this for Yuletide. Heists for everyone!



Two: I watched the first trailer for the new Fast and the Furious movie the day it dropped and promptly texted a bunch of people to shout. Under the cut is a recap of my reaction because it was A LOT. I cannot wait for this goddamn movie. I have loved this franchise since I saw Fast and the Furious in the theater back in 2001, and I cannot believe how far we've come.

I did not write nearly as much as I wanted to for Yuletide this year, but I do like the stories I wrote quite a bit. I wrote four stories for three people in three fandoms, one of which was new for me.

Assignment: Draw Me Like You Do, BSC, Ashley/Claudia

Summary: Claudia Kishi does not expect to run into Ashley Wyeth at a yuppie artist retreat deep in the heart of the Ozarks, but Ashley's always known how to surprise her.

Treat: Five Secrets from an Art Portfolio, BSC, Ashley/Claudia

Summary: Claudia Kishi knew one thing for certain (well, many things, but this was an important one): there was a psychology to portfolios. If you knew how to look, you could uncover an artist’s secrets tucked into every page.

Treat: The Care and Handling of Maneaters, The Ghost and the Darkness, John Patterson/Helena Patterson

Summary: “I do not often repair bridges,” John said.

“True, but even old bridges under repair can become a hunting ground.”

“And what, pray tell, hunts the bridge at Langone?” he asked.

Helena waited until he looked up on her, eager not to miss a single breath of his response. “None other than the great Beast of Gévaudan.”

Treat: Burn, Lost Boys, Michael/Star

Summary: Max is dead and gone, body burnt and ashes spread into the sunlight, but still Star's thirst burns.

Yuletide is upon us! Both the main collection and the madness collection are open, and I can't wait to dive into them.

But first! I received three wonderful gifts in three different fandoms, and I am delighted by how good Yuletide was for me this year. On the recipient side, at least, I did not write as much as I wanted to write, mostly because this entire year has been filled with so much family and work stress that I'm drained here at the end.

My gifts, though, are amazing!

Batwoman

Characters: Kate Kane, Mary Hamilton (DCU)
Additional Tags: alternate universe - wild west


KATE KANE IN A WILD WEST AU! I love Kate and Mary here, and how Kate is so her even in this alternate setting, smart and sarcastic and flirty and blunt and strong and all the things I love about her.

Willow

you are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl (1815 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1

Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Spells & Enchantments, Witchcraft, Transformation, Animal Transformation, Wolf Instincts, Wolves, Developing Relationship, Falling In Love, Femdom, Pegging, Love Confessions, Misses Clause Challenge, Yuletide Treat
Summary:

Magic leaves a trace, and part of the curse stayed in her blood, and Sorsha never forgot what it was like to be the wolf. Even after her mother transformed her back, the wolf lived still, tucked behind her breast.

Many thanks to tigerbright for the beta. Title from Florence + the Machine.

Please look at those tags and marvel. MARVEL. Sorsha the werewolf of a sort and fierce and strong and a little broken and vulnerable, and Madmartigan loving her in all the things she is, and ugh, I love them both so much, and this story is everything I could have wanted from my request.

The Mummy

Woodlands (122 words) by Anonymous

Additional Tags: Artifact Hunts, Humor, Post-Canon
Summary:

"Ahh, America."

That summary, the opening line, the opening exchange between Rick and Jonathan had me laughing before I could even read the rest of it. It's such a cute story, perfectly true to the characters and the movie, and I love it.

ETA: Between 2005 and 2018, I've written 69 stories for Yuletide. Oh yeah.

Yuletide's revving up for 2019 (yuletide_admin), and I'm eager to hear if you'll be participating and, if so, what fandoms you're considering. I'm thinking:

Touchstone series by Andrea K. Höst: Portal sci-fi first person diary about an Australian teen who ends up walking through a portal onto a different planet which has been abandoned by its people due to monsters. When she's finally rescued from that planet, she ends up on a second planet crowded with people who fled the first planet and surrounded by fantastic technology and an ongoing war against the monsters. It's iddy and tropey and absolutely wonderful. Main trilogy, Gratuitous Epilogue all about romances and children (no, really, that's the title of the book), and a fourth novel from a different character's POV.

United States of Asgard series by Tessa Gratton: Norse gods are real and living among humanity. World building is interesting, though I have complaints about how indigenous peoples are treated, but the characters are my favorite part. Excellent human characters, and Fenris Wolf also appears as a teen girl named Glory. She is truly glorious.

Kisses & Curses: Mobile game about witches and romances and trying to save the world. Wonderful bisexual main character, great romance options, and one of the more satisfying stories I've experienced in a mobile game.

Confident - Demi Lovato: The music video, not the song itself, because I will never, ever, ever get enough of those women fighting each other and banding together and all the ways that world building can go.

Pushing Daisies: Adorable and charming murder mystery tv show ended far too soon with a protagonist who can bring things back to life and a cast of characters I adore. I'm really craving warm, sweet, chosen family case fic shenanigans, but if that's the only thing I want, period, I won't request it because that's not fair to a potential author. I want to give multiple prompts, any one of which I would be delighted to receive.

Agent Pendergast series by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child: Specifically focuses on Corrie Swanson (a teen in one of my favorite books who grows up to become an FBI agent) and Nora Kelly (a smart, brash anthropologist). Conveniently, a book about those two specifically just came out, which delighted me and made me want more stories about them.

Hobbs & Shaw: This would need an evidence post to separate it from the main Fast and the Furious series, which is ineligible, and I'm not sure such an argument would be all that successful since Luke and Deckard both appear in multiple Fast and Furious movies, but I am dying for Hattie Shaw and Samantha Hobbs fic, among a ton of other ideas.
