Over at fictional_fans there's a conversation about 3 pt characterization here. The basic point being when you take a character and put them in an AU what are the things you keep about them that define them and help your AU not be a generic coffee shop fic. I am admittedly not very thoughtful at the moment, some days are a struggle not to just cry the entire time, but it peaked my interest. Some people have really good 3 pts and there is other characterization chat/links to be had.

I did a challenge for lands_of_magic mostly because I could do most of it at work! And it relates somewhat because moodboards should really break down what's important for the character/show. I might have done okay. Also, why did I never glomp onto Karl Urban as Hawke? It's so obviously perfect. I wish I'd gotten more involved in DA2 fandom.

( IDK moodboards made for lands of magic? Grace, Cam, and Hawke )

In no relation, I finally saw Crazy Rich Asians and it's one of the best romcoms I've ever seen. I didn't cringe on Rachael's behalf once.

Thank you so much, Yuletide partner. And if you're stopping by to stalk me for a treat, I love you too! I'm super easy with this fest, but if you have a question don't be afraid to poke one of the mods to ask me. I like all the ratings and gen or shippy. I tried to list who I ship in each fandom, so just don't pair them with someone else and my little shipper heart will be okay.

Likes/Dislikes: I can't think of any kinks that automatically turn me off. I'm not a big fan of first or second person point of view. I like dialog. I am open to any rating gen to shippy porn. Write something that makes you happy, and I'll be so glad for both of us!

Hi there, you lovely person who got matched with me for Yuletide. I hope you're as excited as I am. : ) You should know that I'm already happy to be in this exchange and I'm going to enjoy whatever you write. I know that people have different ways of writing, and if you're one of those people who don't want to be constricted, then go write whatever is in your heart. If you'd like to know about my general likes read on, and at the end is a couple of fandom specific prompts.

Likes in General: Okay, I'm kind of a sucker for Christmasy themes. I like clichés, especially if there's a bit of a twist on a familiar trope. I'd prefer happy endings, but I definitely don't mind if there has to be some angst to get there. I don't mean excessive schmoopy, I just like for good things to happen to real people. I like those 'slice of life' fics that shed light on relationships. Speaking of relationships, I'm a fan of slash, femslash, het, and gen, so do whatever feels best for you with the prompts! I like characters making a family for themselves with each other. A lot of the characters that I enjoy are loners looking from the outside in. I really like giving these characters a taste of happiness and friendship.

I like the funny stuff. It doesn't have to be funny ha-ha, but slapstick, strange situations, snappy dialog, or the characters realizing how very odd their lives are all things I enjoy. I've got a very dry sense of humor that some people call odd, but I do enjoy a whole range of fun stuff. : )

World building is always appreciated. Sometimes it's the little details that really make a story come alive. I also really like the concept of magical realism or the heightened absurd. I think it's interesting and allows for great story lines.

I'd love a Christmas story in any of the fandoms. I love snow, loneliness turned to friendship, the craziness of last minute shopping, and the joy of spending time with people you like. Scenarios where everything goes wrong and Christmas never comes out perfect, but somehow it's always awesome grab my attention.

If you decide to get into relationships with any of these fandoms, I like slightly awkward first-times, reestablishing after a break up, a couple having to work to get on the same page, PDA, explicit sex, fade to black sex, back to front set, foot rubs, romantic gestures, pet names, and cuddling. You don't need to get all fluffy or anything, but some cuteness is nice.


Dislikes in general: I'm not a big fan of first or second person point of view and present tense. They're not deal breakers though, so don't stress out.

Thank you dear Yuletide writer!

Dear Yule Goat –

Thank you for signing up to write in a fandom I requested! \0/ I'm really just thrilled to see what you're gonna cook up. Please remember that the requests are just optional, and I don't want to stifle your creativity at all. Write a story that makes you happy and excited to sit down at your keyboard and I'm probably going to love it too. : )

Um, I got kinda long-winded, but I swear I'm not picky, so feel free to pick and choose whatever bits you want to read.
