My Letter - 2020 - 10-26-20

'allo! Wondrous Writer!!!

Furrst off, SO, SO, SO glad you are writing for me! Love getting stories & prrromise that I'll be thrilled with anything that you & your Muse(s) would like to write for me. :-) <3 :-)

God/dess what a YEAR! So the furrst and most important DNW this year is stress-full stories.

That means NO to:
💥 graphic violence
💥 shaming of any kind
💥 embarassment & bullying
💥 PWP or graphic sex
💥 pandemic stories
💥 A/B/O dynamics
💥 crack not treated seriously
💥 bashing & isms (sexism, racism, etc., etc., etc.)
💥 angst (a bit of questioning is fine, full-on angst, sadly not this year)
💥 horridly ever after
💥 animal abuse - on- or off-stage
💥 emotional hiding that leads to trouble (in other words stories that hinge on people not being open & honest with each other)

That means YES to:
🌻functional family, whether blood, found, chosen - show me the genuine love people have for each other!
🌻loyalty
🌻competance
🌻honesty - literal, emotional, etc.
🌻fluff
🌻crack!fic treated seriously
🌻character-driven fic
🌻worldbuilding
🌻well-done magick & psi
🌻inclusion & diversity
🌻finding a place to fit in
🌻happy endings for as many as possible
🌻people being encouraging & supportive of each other
🌻letter!fic
🌻and did I mention FLUFF?!?

Feel free to check out prrevious letters here and at my no-longer-added-to LJ also under this name for more on likes, dislikes, and potential prrrompts.

Specifics for my choices this year include:

🌻Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey (Menolly, Robinton)

As a singer & mews-ician, I've always loved these two best. Give me a story of Bard-ing on Pern - the joys, the music, the helping people out, etc..

🌻Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey Alberich (Valdemar), Myste (Valdemar)

As an outsider myself, and one who is far more bookish than fightery, I can relate to both of these characters.

Give me a story of the two of them interacting - purr-haps Myste helping Alberich through something - from his past? his prresent? his future?

Or maybe they are just sharing time together - two busy people rejoicing in time to share with one another.

MidWinter tale not required, and a lovely addition.

🌻Phoebe and Her Unicorn Series - Dana Simpson - Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, Max (Phoebe and Her Unicorn), Phoebe (Phoebe and Her Unicorn)

Unicorn!Hijinks and what happens next. Show me a tale of three of them being friends together. Dakota is allowed to join in the fun, but only if she's behaving herself prroperly. Otherwise, she can stay home & leave Marigold & Friends in peace.

🌻 The Muppet Show (Kermit the Frog)
Share a tale of our Famous Frog dealy with a day at the theater. Purr-haps arguing with the budget as the times & tides march on. Purr-haps contacting new acts.

Even more delight-full would be a tale In Which he sits down with the band in some way. A jam session? Prractice for the next show? Something else?

Again, MidWinter hollydays not required - and a loverly addition.

🌻 Hilda the Plus-Size Pin-up Series - Duane Bryers (Any)

Give me more story set in this amazing universe. Hilda & her animals are such wonderful friends - share a story of that.

And for all of these, if you + your Muse(s) come up with something else that you'd rather write, then go for it! You have the lists of likes/loves & DNWs, so have at it!
