Dear Yuletide Writer 

Thank you so very much for writing one of my fandoms. This is exceptionally unhelpful, but I'm feeling far too self-effacing to actually have the chops to tell you what to write about. 

However, I like snarky banter, friendships, a dash of schmoop, a smidgen of darkness, and damaged people caring about each other. I like real life in all its messiness, and little glimpses into that are awesome. I would rather have other things than pages and pages of porniness.

I have no particular squicks, but would rather not have torture or really detailed violence / trauma, in which the pain is more prominent than the overcoming.

Thank you so much,
Dipenates

The Fall Fandom Free-For-All is open for business.
