Dear FicMountain Writer,

Firstly, I would like to say thank you for the time and effort that you are willing to put into making me a wonderful gift :) I know I seem to have a lot more ideas for some fandoms than others but I would be ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED to receive fic in any of the fandoms I asked for. If you’ve ever read a yuletide letter of mine, this will probably seem very familiar (as most of it is C&P from there…)

GENERAL STUFF

Parings/Sex/Ratings:
Likes:
-SLASH
-Het and gen
-love-triangles
-All ratings up to R
-A focus on the romantic/emotional aspect of a relationship and some semblance of a plot/point rather than just sex.
-UST. Resolved is probably better than not, however, if "not" is more appropriate for the paring than that's great too.

Dislikes/Rather-Nots
-Femslash as a major focus (I don’t have a problem with it, I just don’t ship fem in these fandoms)
-Threesomes/moresomes and polyamory
-Incest (unless specifically asked for)
-Parings with large age disparity (over 15 years) unless specifically asked for
-Pedophilia (please keep minors in sexual relationships with adults 16 and over; if both partners are teens, 14-15 is ok if treated appropriately.)
-NC-17 and PWPs
-BDSM and heavy kink (scat, watersports, bloodplay, necro, etc)
-Humiliation (both sexual and not)
-Non-con/rape (dub-con that leans toward/ends up as consensual is ok)
-MPreg
-Cross-dressing and genderbending/genderswap
-Bestiality.

Genres/Themes (and such):
I love angst! I LOVE hurt/comfort. Especially of the m/m variety ;) Fluff and mush are lovely. Cuddling/snuggling and adorable!fic are great too.
I definitely don’t mind things like Dark!fic and character death.
Humor is fine too. Give me adorable banter or – where appropriate – family and/or friendship fic and I’m sure you’ll put a smile on my face :) However, I’m not the biggest fan of crack!fic/parody. AUs of the “what if” variety are fine and I do enjoy well-done modernizations of historical (set pre-1850) fandoms, but not so much radical AUs that subvert the universe (genderswaping the cast, setting a modern fandom as a fairytale, turning a historical fandom all Sifi, etc).

I like well-rounded characters. Give me characters that have motives and feeling and don’t look like a stereotype cardboard cut-out. I really enjoy complicated relationships and relationship dynamics, especially if there is fodder for that in canon. I also realize that characterization is fairly up to interpretation but just don’t give me something obviously intentionally out of characters. PLEASE don’t bash any of my requested characters.

I find glorification and normalization of bullying (especially of children) very upsetting. Please don't excuse this sort of behavior. I don't think it would come up in these fandoms/requests but just in case.

FANDOMS

( Barber of Siberia )

( How the Steel Was Tempered )

( The Outs )

( War and Peace )

I know all that looks like a LOT. Please don’t stress over it. These are all just things I love but optional details are optional and you can write whatever wonderful plot bunnies pop into your head. I would just appreciated if you avoided my turn-offs and if you want to follow what I wrote here then that’s bonus points. But I’m sure I will love whatever story you chose to write!
