sli(Hello friendpeople, too!)
My fic exchange letters always run the same way, and I always feel vaguely apologetic for the vagueness.
1. I want you to write something that pleases and excites you, even if it's at the expense of what you think I want.
2. I can't suggest specific plot ideas, but approve of plot in general, and ye olde fandom classics are a-okay with me.
3. While I'm pretty vanilla in my tastes (give me slash, give me friendship, give me first times, give me sexing, give me a personal or professional or ethical or criminal struggle overcome or survived with just a tasty bit of bruising, give me a happy ending or the hope thereof), I'm also hard to squick and would be equally delighted by a fic that violated one or all items on that list. I'm rarely a fan of threesomes or moresomes, and a fic that's all puns might make me itchy, but pretty much anything else and we're good.
4. In my Beautiful Thing request notes I mentioned a character (Tonyyyyyy) who wasn't even on the nominated character list. I know! So rude. Anyway, believe me when I say that you can't pick a character in that film I wouldn't want fic about. Even the assholes! Even the coach! (BALLS, Mr. Bennett!) Even the cute as buttons protagonists! These people are very interesting to me.
5. Yuletide is awesome and you are awesome and thank you for being such an important part of something I enjoy so ridiculously much. YAY.
(Also: Dear Self, please finish your Yuletide fic before the laaaaaaast possible millisecond this time around, just for shits and giggles and beta-reading, okay? Please? Dumbass?)
