Yuletide 2023 Letter

Dear Yuletide writer, thank you for writing for me! (And apologies for the lateness of this letter!)


General notes: I’m starfishstar on AO3 and on DW.

Likes: A focus on character interactions, be that friendship or romance or family. Found family dynamics. Humor and banter. UST (all the UST) as long as it resolves by the end. Happy or hopeful endings (angst and complexity are fine – I like stories that are realistic! – but I do need at least a degree of hope). I'm generally not looking for PWP, but I'm not going to make that a hard DNW this year, just a preference (as in, I'd prefer things other than pure smut). :-) I especially have a soft spot for what I'll term "crack treated seriously" – a premise that sounds ridiculous, but then is treated with such earnestness and emotional depth that it somehow really works.

DNW: I think just the big ones: please no major character death, non-con/dub-con, or graphic violence. 

Treats: Yes, please! I have the option for receiving treats enabled on AO3.
