Dear Yuletide Writer 2024

Dear Yuletide Writer:

First off, thank you! I hope you are as excited about your assignment as I am to receive it. Hopefully the lateness of my Yuletide letter didn’t panic you too much! I enjoy a wide variety of fic, and these are truly some of my favorite canons, so really you can’t go wrong...but if you are looking for a spark of inspiration, I hope this letter provides it.  

General Likes/Dislikes: 

Things I love in a Yuletide fic: M/M, UST, hurt/comfort, banter, happy endings. When I look at the canons I chose, one consistent theme is that they all end on a note of hope, yet the characters I chose within these canons don't always get to experience that. I think, more than anything, what I would love to see is a chance for these characters to catch a glimmer of it for themselves (or for each other, in the canons where I've selected a pairing). 

Things I generally don’t like in a Yuletide fic: AU’s set outside of the canon setting (coffee shop, etc), MPREG, graphic gore, body horror, unhappy endings. That being said, if you have a wild idea that goes against these, these are definitely more loose guidelines than DNW’s.

Coldfire Trilogy

Damien Vryce/Gerald Tarrant Not sure if there will ever be a Yuletide where I don't request CFT fic. I do write frequently for this fandom, but just because I write in a certain style, please don’t restrict yourself to my “usual” topics. For this canon especially, I’m excited to read what you want to write.  I’m starting my millionth re-read of the trilogy, so I am excited to read anything set either during canon, or a post-canon fix-it. Give me all the banter. Give me all the UST. Give me Gerald Tarrant doing something kind (while doing mental gymnastics to justify it to himself as FOR SELFISH REASONS ONLY). Give me Damien forgetting to agonize over what GT is and just enjoying a moment with him (bonus points for him Prophet!fanboying). Give me physical contact of some sort between them, give me the soul bond! I ship these two hard, but I am happy to read pre-slash/gen.

Dimension20: Escape from the Bloodkeep

Leiland (Kraz-Thun) I watched Escape from the Bloodkeep 2 months ago(?) and once I was done, I immediately restarted it and watched the series again. Bloodkeep has some of my favorite Dropout cast characters, but of course it was Matt Mercer’s Leiland who stole the show for me. Someone on Reddit summed up Leiland as “All that dark power and regal lineage turned into a benny hill skit” and in response I can only say, that’s exactly why I’m here. I am happy with both pre and post-canon fic, gen or shippy (and not picky on ship). I’d really love to see Leiland navigate how to be Leiland, and not Kraz-Thun, and getting more comfortable in the “evil” found family he has created. Galfast Hamhead, while not requested, is of course 1000% welcome in any story.  Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors)

Shuten/Rajura

This was my first real fandom, well over two decades ago now, and Shuten/Rajura was my first ship. I definitely carried a binder plastered outside with the Masho chibi from Amanda Swiftgold’s page and stuffed to the brim with too much printed fic from Mink’s Yaoi Cake archive. This was a rare ship even then, and I am absolutely fine with gen, and fics that include all the Masho. I would of course love a fix-it fic, but I am open to exploring missing canon scenes also. I would enjoy a fic either from Rajura or Shuten’s perspective that grapples with their encounter out on the tracks, and that sprinkles in some of their shared complex history. Feel free to bend canon details in terms of what the armor enables. 

Uprooted

Solya/Marek These two have taken up residence in my brain and will not leave me alone. They truly enable each other in a way that is absolutely toxic, but I would love a fic that lets them attempt to do better by each other. I would prefer that Marek lives in your fic, whether that means exploring pre-canon events, or a missing scene during their story, and I would definitely enjoy a fix-it (just think of the hurt/comfort possibilities!) where they get to figure out their version of a happy ending. How do they navigate a world where they both wield less power? Would they be able to make their peace enough with that to carve out something new? Or would they chafe against that lack of power, and it would be that struggle that entwines them further?

I’ve been thinking of this fic series that I read back in the day and damned if I can remember the title of any of the pieces beyond “(something) chocolate, (something) diamonds” that was centered around the two Hardrock characters.

So then I was like “what about that website, you know, that website with the fic lists and the old geo cities and angelfire pages and the link to Swiftgold’s fic archive.” And tried to remember the name for it.

Anipike. It was freaking anipike-dot-com.

So I go on anipike and it is nothing like I remember and looks more like it turned into some sort of weird message board with all kinds of broken code (ah, those were the days, where one bracket could derail your whole afternoon of meticulously building your own little page using html and JavaScript)

To make sure I’m not misremembering, I hit up the wayback machine.

Except this is not the wayback machine I know for a fact I was on like…last year or so. This is weird and I start to wonder if I have fallen down the wrong leg in the trousers of time.

A quick search leads me to the wayback machine website I know and I find the anipike website I am familiar with.

Now, I am at the area of “I have gone too far back in anipike’s history that the link I am looking for (because in my experience angelfire sites live forever) is not there. And this is true because I do remember the weird time period between Ronin Warriors being part of the main anime list and it shifting to its own page because So Many Links became available (and there was a section just for fanfic pages because ffn wasn’t really a thing or was starting to be a thing but wasn’t A Thing like it was before disclaimers had to be a thing because Anne Rice was nuts)

So the timeframe I need is between fall of 1999 and like…summer of 2001.

And then I’m like “man, The BOB Files. I loved the BOB files. I wonder if it still exists.”

And then I wonder if somewhere in the dark recesses of the internet the fic “I know what’s beneath the snowfields” is still around and how many more chapters that person wrote because I was only able to read what handful my buddy Jemmy printed out (they loved ff7) and they gave up after like…chapter 58.

a height chart for several characters from my yugioh/pokemon mystery dungeon crossover!

Featuring: Bakura (both human and Pokemon forms), Yugi, Grovyle, Team Satisfaction, plus a couple I haven’t mentioned before: Fubuki and ‘Kaiser’ Ryo of Team Idol! (Fubuki named the team.) (Fubuki and Kaiser are very much dating)

(The base height chart was made by swiftgold and edited to be longer by FallenAngelGM, both on DeviantArt.)

Redid my OC heights since the last time I did a height chart was in 2015. Characters’ names and heights are in the captions. Blank height chart by swiftgold on DeviantArt.

Here’s the whole gang together on DeviantArt!

It’s St. Patrick's Day! So it’s a great time for a Sekhmet/Naaza image post.

I wonder how he’d react to the holiday here in the US. Would he like blending in because people would think he dyed his hair for the holiday? Or would he be annoyed about all the comments and compliments about his hair?

Going to be spending the night of naming her and some other characters soon

How’s this for weird. A random fanfic I haven’t thought about in…years, and never finished, popped up in my head while talking with a coworker about Trigun the other day.

“I know what’s beneath the snow fields” is what it’s called. Last I remember, it was massive and had started to be occasionally updated (due to size and author’s availability to work on it) and it’s a FFVII fic. I don’t even know if I could find it today or remember parts of it besides Vincent being…something something.

And now the bad part is is I want to see if The BOB Files (a Ronin Warrior fic) is still around or if Swiftgold’s fic archive is available.
