boasterkeaton Dear Yuletide Writer!
Season's Greetings, and Happy Yuletide!! Thank you so much for signing up, and I hope this Yuletide is good to you. The most important thing I want you to know is that pretty much anything outside of the hard DNWs (which are included in my sign up) are just guidelines and if any of it stresses you or you have a great idea that I don't really specify please feel free to disregard and write what you really want. I'm just happy for anything in the below fandoms with the below characters. I am not married to any one concept or any one fandom.
My twitter and tumblr are both open, I am kayromantics on Twitter, and kayromantic on Tumblr. I am also kayromantic on AO3. I may tag my requested fandoms as yuletide going forward if you want to eke out more about my general feelings about these fandoms.
I basically ship all the characters requested with each other, and so I really just want fic about their relationship. I will in general read a shippiness to their interactions no matter what you do. In general my main fic preferences is for the fic to have some sort of plot. The plot can be cheesy, tropey and simple, I just enjoy stories where things actually happen over things like character studies or just world building or fics that are just introspections. I am fine with angst, but honestly I tend to love the things that fall in the middle between angst and fluff, I tend to not like pure angst OR pure fluff.
I don't have too strong of preference when it comes to tense or POV, but I tend to be wary of first and second when it comes to fic. That isn't a hard DNW so if you are dead set on writing in first or second person have at it.
Stories/Tropes/Plots that I love are, but not limited to, things like fake dating, secret dating, what if canon divergences, (enemies/rivals)-friends-lovers, mutual pining, stuck in a closet/boat/island, arranged marriage, partners in crime, epistolary fic etc.
The Hard DNWs: Rape/Sexual Violence, Porn Without Plot, Slave!fic, Crossovers, unrequested ships that contradict the pairings requested, character/ship bashing, teacher/student dynamic or adult/minor dynamic, graphic homophobic, misogynistic, racist, transphobic violence, cancer/terminal illness, overly detailed descriptions of bodily fluids (no scat/golden showers etc.), major character death, BDSM or anything harder than say light bondage.
The Requests:
Fandom: Elite (TV)
Characters: Ander Muñoz, Omar Shana
Why I like the Fandom/Characters? I love me a good, over wrought and dramatic teen show and Elite completely delivers. I love most characters except for Polo and Catalina, but Ander and Omar and their relationship is probably one of my favorite things about the show. I love their dynamic and their personal conflicts are real, relatable even as everything else feels unreal. I find both Ander and Omar very relatable at different points, and I love the pattern that they've built to grow and adapt as their circumstances change. I love that they are shown as being connected to gay culture even as small as it is. (I mean I love that they go to a gay bar)

Feel free to incorporate as many of the other characters in the show, I am fine with Nadia/Guzman and Samuel/Carla but am not really into anything else beyond that, and I would rather they not be the focus.
Prompts/Jump Off Points: Any sort of AU would work for me here, a look at the series of ten minute meet ups over the summer, domestic foibles as they live together, what if Omar went to Las Encinas (either in place of Nadia or alongside her)?, maybe expand and/or fill in gaps that are obviously there in the series.
Fandom: Mighty Ducks (Movies)
Characters: Adam Banks, Charlie Conway
Why I like the Fandom/Characters? I sort of rediscovered these movies a couple of years ago due to an actual dream I had and now this is...well it's probably my main fandom, lol. The movies, while never real masterpieces, still hold up surprisingly well and watching the third one now, I liked it more than I did when I was a preteen and saw it in theaters. I like Adam and Charlie as sort of the two sides of the same coin, and even though canon doesn't give much, I like the idea of their dynamic and the plays to friendship the movie does give us. The Natural Talent and The Hard Worker. Canon to me gives you just enough to provide a foundation. I do ship this hard, it is probably my top non-canon OTP to be honest, and is probably the one fandom I stay apprised of here outside of Yuletide. I actually received a great fic last year, and normally I don't request what I've received the previous year, but I just want more because I think I've read everything too many times.
I am fine incorporating any other character from canon, particularly if it's the other kids. I am fine and open to pretty much an non-contradictory pairing to the above, just keep Adam and Charlie the focus
Prompts/Jump Off Points: I am literally open to most things here, canon-divergence of the "What If" would be great, so any scenario there would be great. Secret Relationship, Road Trip, What if they are rivals on opposing teams, re-connecting after a long period. Basically take any simple premise and I'm here for it.
Fandom: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (Live Action TV)
Characters: Hino Rei, Aino Minako
Why I like the Fandom/Characters? This is absolutely my favorite version of the classic arc of any Sailor Moon canon, and I just loves how it takes the story and turns it on its head. I especially love how the relationship between the girls is its most important and central focus as opposed to the main romance. I love the relationship between Rei and Minako in this version in particular. They are sort of rivals, sort of not, always pushing and willing to call the other out on their stubbornness. They are both so different in this version and I live for it. I love how Minako is so guarded and mission focused, but every now and again we see her playful, over the top side. I love how Rei deals with her isolation and how she grows to learn how to relate and connect with others and how she jumps on what gives her life a purpose and dedicates herself fully but then also realizes that there's more than just their past lives. It's so great.
Prompts/Jump Off: Any story of their relationship at any part of the timeline would be great. What was past Mars/Venus like? Minako gets so coy about being excited about Mars' awakening in the early part of their interactions I'm intrigued. I would love to see Minako rope Rei into more appearances as "Mars Reiko", how does Rei react now that Minako is alive and not sick at the end? Just give me all the push and pull and how they grow close, because I think their bond is one of the stronger ones in the group.
Fandom: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
Characters: Alex Claremont-Diaz, Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor
Why I like the Fandom/Characters? This book is my current hyper-fixation, so I may just be on a high after reading it. I basically love every bit, every page of this book because it is exactly the tropey, hopeful story that I love in all the best ways. This is definitely a case where I love everyone in this bar. I am just requesting Alex and Henry though, because I didn't know and couldn't narrow down and I didn't want to further limit you in any ways. Needless to say, appearances by basically anyone would be absolutely delightful. Alex is my favorite, he can get me laughing to crying in a second. I love how completely he throws himself into things, but I love Henry too, his quietness and how he sort of is revealed throughout the book. I would love to see how he opens up even further down the road.
Prompts/Jump Off: I think any expansion on events in the novel, particularly from Henry's POV would be great, maybe a confluence of moments and an expansion on their time as 'enemies' would be great. Post-novel, I would love any story of them having to deal with a situation or hiccup due to their situation or what would the world's first gay royal wedding be like? Or go full on Fairy-Tale AU or any sort of setting AU, these characters are so well-defined that I feel you could definitely plop them in any universe and get fireworks. What if they are thrown together through other circumstances. I am going to be honest, basically anything right now would work for me.
