Nov. 14th, 2010 10:23 pmDear Yuletide Writer,
First, THANK YOU. I think of Yuletide as more of an opportunity to write something a little different than request something to exacting specifications, so whatever you write is more like a totally awesome bonus than the entire reason I'm participating. In other words, NO PRESSURE. This, and my comments on the assignment, are really just suggestions in case you'd like some.
The most important thing really is no deathfic and I prefer a happy ending. I don't mind working for the happy ending; angst that ends well is splendid. Downer endings, though, kinda bum me out. I do tend to read and write romances, and smut, but that doesn't mean I'm expecting that here; gen is fantastic too, as I'm thinking about my love for the characters and their interaction. In terms of smut I do love dirty talk and an equal balance of forces.
Don't think that my prompts are there to guide you in any particular direction; they're more like thought starters and you can feel free to ignore them. I'm not a freak about plot—in many of the stories I love nothing really happens except maybe an internal change in a character or an emotional realization. Characters are always more important to me than plot and I adore great conversation. So feel free to have them just sitting around drinking coffee and talking about Great Clapton Songs, or have them find a way to Save the World from Certain Destruction, or anything in between!

My recs aren't that extensive and right now are mostly Star Trek and Rymon. I do write what I like to read, which has been centered on Harry Potter, Idol RPF, and lately Star Trek, plus a pile of one-offs.
Mostly, thank you in advance; I know that anything you do will be awesome, because it will mean more fic for one of these fandoms, and isn't that the whole point?
Your fan already,
Clio
