Shelley's fanfiction

Dear Wonderful Person,

Thank you for writing me! I know these are four odd fandoms, but I'm really psyched to see any story in any of them. They all deserve ALLLL the love!

I'm a pretty easy person to write for. In general, I prefer het or gen but am quite willing to be sold on femslash. Mixed threesomes or moresomes (by which I mean at least one of each sex) are always welcome if they work within the story. I usually prefer stories that focus on women characters (or at least feature them prominently), so m/m slash stories just don't hold my attention as well as the other categories though I'm certainly not opposed to them. I love G-rated and NC-17 fics equally, as well as everything in between. I have a particular fondness for cross-generational story and couples that don't make conventional sense for whatever reason; the two prettiest people in a story being inexplicably drawn together bore me. I'm squicked by marijuana and other drugs, underaged sex, and anything non-consensual. Humiliation humor isn't my favorite thing in the world but I can take it in small doses. Possessiveness, jealousy, and adultery all make me uncomfortable and can kill a story for me unless your fic is going to a very dark place and one of those three elements are critical to the plot. Lighthearted stories with possessiveness or jealousy just creep me out.

Also, please remember that OPTIONAL DETAILS ARE OPTIONAL!!! I absolutely believe this. If you have an awesome idea for a story, please don't read any further because I'd love to read whatever you already have planned out. If, on the other hand, you need some ideas, hopefully one of these will help.

Again, thank you!!!!

First off, thank you so much for writing for me. Yuletide is one of my favorite times of the year, mostly because it's filled with such lovely people. I'm sure you're just as lovely as all the other yuletiders that I've met over the years, and I hope that you've been matched on something you've always wanted to write (as opposed to one of the oh-my-god-I-can't-believe-I-signed-up-for-THAT-I-must-have-been-outta-my-mind fandoms...)

As for general likes and dislikes, I'm pretty easy. In general, I prefer het or gen but am quite willing to be sold on femslash. Mixed threesomes or moresomes (by which I mean at least one of each sex) are always welcome if they work within the story. I usually prefer stories that focus on women characters (or at least feature them prominently), so m/m slash stories just don't hold my attention as well as the other categories though I'm certainly not opposed to them.

Again, and one last time, THANK YOU!!! YOU'RE WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

Edited on October 13th, to reflect latest Lethal Weapon episode.

HELLO, you wonderful person, you! Greetings and salutations, and a bazillion thanks! I may not know your name, but I know that you are cool since you like at least one of the things that I love, and I know that you are kind enough to write for a stranger. Yay you! You rock muchly, and I guarantee that your efforts will be appreciated.

Despite the prompts that I wrote in my sign up or that I give here, I'm a big believer in optional details are optional. My first yuletide (a dozen years ago now! Gracious!), I followed a prompt that just wasn't for me because I didn't know about the whole optional thing, and what emerged was the worst story I ever wrote. I keep it around as an abject lesson to myself: 1) don't write anything that goes against my sense of the characters; and 2) stress to any and all future writers that they should never write something for me if they're just not feeling it. It's FINE if your head canon is completely different from mine; if you believe in your story, I'm certain that you can sell it to me.

As for general likes and dislikes, I'm pretty easy. I kind of prefer gen and het, but am usually willing to be sold on slash or femslash if there's a compelling or interesting couple. Mixed threesomes are always welcome if they work within the story. I lean more towards the G and PG range, but will be delighted with a NC-17 story if you feel that your characters want to go there. I'm not really a fan of happy stories about marijuana use or other drugs (though I understand if you have to go there for Eternal Nightcap) or of humiliation humor. I actively dislike stories that have underaged sex or anything with questionable consent issues. I love cross-generational 'ships, but other than that, kinks don't sound all that appealing on Christmas morning and I'd prefer that you pass them by if your story allows you to do so.

In the end, Santa, the one thing that will make me happiest is if YOU have fun writing for me. If you twist your view of canon to match mine, you won't have fun writing and that usually shows in the final story. Please, write something that you enjoy and you can feel proud of, and I can just about guarantee that I will adore it. Whatever else you do, don't stress out on my account!

On a side note, I don't use my personal journal at all any more. There's no reason for you to wade through my journal because there will be nothing for you to find for the last several years. (Don't worry. There was no wank and you haven't been assigned a drama queen. I just realized that I needed to pay more attention to my personal life than my on-line one, and the only way I could do that was go cold turkey from my way too incredibly nice f'list. If I had only filled my f'list with mean people, I could have kept it up and ignored everyone. Sadly, fandom is filled with far too many wonderful people, and I have a somewhat addictive personality...) The only current things you'll find on me are recent fanfics, and those are all here in my fanfic journal. I apologize if you were looking forward to the stalking...

Mostly copied and pasted from previous years' letters, because I am old and boring and mostly don't change. *grin*


Well, hello there, gorgeous. I am so out of fandom these days that the odds that I know you are vanishingly small, and yet, you still agreed to write for me. Yay you! You rock muchly, and I guarantee that your efforts will be appreciated.

Despite the prompts that I wrote in my sign up or that I give here, I'm a big believer in optional details are optional. My first yuletide (a decade ago now! Gracious!), I followed a prompt that just wasn't for me because I didn't know about the whole optional thing, and what emerged was the worst story I ever wrote. I keep it around as an abject lesson to myself: 1) don't write anything that goes against my sense of the characters; and 2) stress to any and all future writers that they should never write something for me if they're just not feeling it. It's FINE if your head canon is completely different from mine; if you believe in your story, I'm certain that you can sell it to me. The very best stories are the ones that the author had fun writing, so if you're feeling it, I'm certain that I will as well.

As for general likes and dislikes, I'm pretty easy. I kind of prefer gen and het, but am usually willing to be sold on slash or femslash if there's a compelling or interesting couple. Mixed threesomes are always welcome if they work within the story. I lean more towards the G and PG range, but will be delighted with a NC-17 story if you feel that your characters want to go there. I'm squicked by marijuana and other drugs, humiliation, underaged sex, and anything non-consensual. I love cross-generational 'ships (*cough*Counter-Measures*cough*), but other than that, kinks don't sound all that appealing on Christmas morning and I'd prefer that you pass them by if your story allows you to do so.

I may not know your name, but I know that you are cool since you like at least one of the things that I love, and I know that you are kind enough to write for a stranger. Yay you! You rock muchly, and I guarantee that your efforts will be appreciated.

Despite the prompts that I wrote in my sign up or that I give here, I'm a big believer in optional details are optional. My first yuletide, eight or nine years ago, I followed a prompt that just wasn't for me, and what emerged was the worst story I ever wrote. I keep it around as an abject lesson to myself: 1) don't write anything that goes against my sense of the characters; and 2) stress to any and all future writers that they should never write something for me if they're just not feeling it. If you believe a story, I'm certain that you can sell it to me.

As for general likes and dislikes, I'm pretty easy. I have a slight preference for gen and het, but am usually willing to be sold on slash or femslash if there's a compelling or interesting couple. Mixed threesomes are always welcome if they work within the story. I love G-rated and NC-17 fics equally, as well as everything in between. I'm squicked by marijuana and other drugs, underaged sex, and anything non-consensual. Actually, kinks in general don't sound that appealing on Christmas morning and I'd prefer that you pass them by if your story allows you to do so.

And the extremely hilarious elle_dritch wrote me a funny, sweet, and completely fabulous Clyde story that is a thing of great awesomeness. You should read it! A Christmas Truce is a guaranteed delight for all SJA fans who have a soul. And if you don't like it, you should go get that soul thing checked out by your doctor. I worry.
