Dear Yuletider,

Thanks so much for writing for me! I really enjoy Yuletide - it's my longest-standing seasonal tradition that doesn't involve food : D I look forward to seeing what you write and, although I've put some suggestions, all I really want is more from these fandoms, be that a fresh look or a revisiting of old favourites. Go with what intrigues you.

If you match on one of the others and get stuck - Some Velvet Morning is under four minutes long, listenable to here, and the lyrics are here.

General comments

I like humour that cares about the characters. I like characters who are outsiders in some way, and I love seeing them become part of something larger - a cause, a community. I like food as a way of showing character or worldbuilding. I like bittersweet endings. I like pretty much any style of writing - epistolary, experimental, Dickensian - and although I've previously been unkeen on second person narrators this would be fine as an option for Dark Parables, or indeed either of the others if it works for the story.

DNWs - animal or child death. Significant earthquakes.

Some Velvet Morning - Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra (Song). )

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant - Stephen R. Donaldson. )

Dark Parables (video games). )
