Yuletide 2025 Letter
Oct. 24th, 2025 11:40 amDear yule goat,
Hello! Thank you so much for writing for me! I look forward to reading whatever you create. :-)
Some general notes, then fandom-specific notes:
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 some degree of hope. Basically, if you love these characters, I'll love anything you want to write about them.
DNW: Just the big ones: please no major character death, non-con/dub-con, or graphic violence.
Treats: Very much yes please! (And btw I'm a big fan of the yearly Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational. Any drabble treats will be accepted with great delight!)

Yuletide Mini-Challenges: I love the whole concept of these and may have gone a little overboard opting in to just about every mini-challenge I could...
– Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational: I love drabbles and find that sometimes great things happen when forced to work within such a constrained form. Feel free to write me a drabble (or multiple) in any of my fandoms!
– MultiLingYule: Another perennial favorite; write me a fic in German or Icelandic?
– Unconventionyule: I don't think I'd seen this particular mini-challenge before, and I already love it. Surprise me with any kind of unconventional format in any fandom!
– Queering the Tide: For Po/Giddon in the Graceling Realm series.
– Family Matters (for stories about siblings): Seraphina & Tess (& Jeanne) from the Seraphina series
– Chromatic Yuletide: Bharadwaj, Gurathin, and Mensah from Murderbot (TV)
– Femslash Festivus: Seraphina/Glisselda or Seraphina/Glisselda/Kiggs from the Seraphina series
– Three Turtle Doves: Seraphina/Glisselda/Kiggs from the Seraphina series
– Season’s Treatings: celebrating Chanukah, with Elio/Oliver from Call Me By Your Name (2017) (or any other fandom where you can make it make sense!)
