Dear Yulegoat
Oct. 17th, 2012 09:56 amDON'T PANIC.
This is a very long letter with lots of stuff, but DO NOT PANIC. I'm actually fairly easy to please; I have never been disappointed with a Yuletide story. The most important thing for me in a fic is that the characters are well-written and recognizably themselves. Even when I don't like a character, I don't go in for character-bashing. If nothing else, if the rest of this letter is too much or my kinks just don't fit yours, just concentrate on writing a good story with good spelling and grammar and everyone in character and I will almost certainly love what you come up with.
One thing: I do have an embarrassment squick, which makes humor kind of hit-or-miss sometimes. The kind of humor where someone does something embarrassing and the audience is laughing at them makes me uncomfortable because I identify too much with the person getting laughed at, so instead of being funny it is squicky. On the other hand, the kind of humor where the audience is laughing with the characters I really enjoy.
If you want to make me the happiest recipient ever, here are some other things to keep in mind: ( General Preferences )
( Temeraire )
( Donovan's Reef )
( Batman Beyond )
( Caprica )
