Yuletide Letter

landofspaceandrainbowsHello, and thx for participating in Yuletide!
If i get to it, I'll fill in fandom likes, or just work from generals. Ofc, as standard, most stuff is optional! As long as it's not dnw I'm sure you'll write something cool!
and it's a rare fandom so everything's welcome!
In the mean time, I made "fandom promo" posts for most of the fandoms in my sign up, and tbh, I'm going to track some of that down to copy into here, so if you feel like searching those up, you're more than welcome.
General Likes:
Worldbuilding, adventure & journeys! Animals/pets. Close relationships even if they're friends/ambiguous/qpr, polyamory, disability and (cool) assistive technology. Different formats - first person my beloved, second person, readerfic - poetry is welcome!
AUS - especially historical or mythological AU. Fond of renaissance/shakespearean era, regency/victorian, ancient mediterranean/greek era. Greek, roman, celtic, sumerian, mayan mythology. Sci-fi and cyberpunk, steampunk!
Also I've been really REALLY into The Magnus Archives recently. In general any crossover with The Magnus Archives or Cultist Simulator is welcome as hell.
Crueltide/Darkfic likes:
Horror! Eldrich/cosmic horror, GORE, whump, h/c , ptsd, possible self-harm, drunkenness/alcohol abuse/alcoholism, Kink (see below!), (hot) dub-con.
Kink / Pron Likes:
BDSM, Some level of dub-con / consent issues with at least a bit of mutual attraction, can include threats, blackmail, threatening xeno/monsterfucking, authority/power difference, drunkeness. Especially if the level of "scary" is in line with canon, it's probably fine! Disability and adaptation in nsfw situations, clothes/uniform kinks, undressing / taking off someone else's armor as sexy / intimate, temperature play, especially heat, (light) bondage! Xeno / monsterfucking.
Speaking of TMA, something I've seen a few authors do in TMA (thanks Anysin) and also in Cultist simulator, though there's less fics there, is what they call "religion kink" aka mixing some of the occult stuff in with the relationship/nsfw stuff and that really tickles something in a good way. And might go well with some fandoms here. Up to your discretion.
General DNWS:
Pregfic, Penetrative sex (especially PIV) oral is fine/doesn't count! Fade to black is fine! Young kidfic - both MC as parents and de-aging/AUs, animal abuse, child abuse, non-con with no attraction/arousal, forced fem/masc kinks, graphic or heavy sexual ptsd, suicide, covid mentions, ear/eye/parasite type gore, deathfic (except as noted on the form, Lifesteal SMP has a lot of death so for that there's an easing for canon MCD/suicide etc. and those are ok.
Problem Sleuth: Love the alien aspect and the odd romance system. Love rival-romance/enemy-romance/kismesis. Like interactions with Spade Slick and the other members of the Midnight Crew, Spades Slick/Snowman, Spades Slick/Problem Sleuth, Ace Dick/Problem sleuth. Also a fan of the absolutely batshit time travel and/or portal shenanigans and Problem Sleuth's "alternate identities" for characters.
Lifesteal SMP:
Richard II: I love that it really includes both drama and the historical side of things, it's not supposed to be really accurate and it's messed with to tell a neater story, but if you want you can really get into the descriptions of the clothes of the tudor era etc, do wiki walks if you're a nerd (in the positive sense). And really what I also like is (though it isn't explicit, or it wouldn't have gotten shown) it definitely points at the historical king's ""Reputation"" and the rumors about his associates, who were close, and were known as "the five (or six) wicked seducers of the king". In other woords, historically we don't know as much about what went on behind closed doors - but Richard II has this sort of homo/gay legend built up around him, and I like how this bit of theater plays to that (gently)!
Shakesperian plays!
Romeo and Juliet - Mercutio/Tybalt
The Tempest - Fae Shenanigans, WTF is up with Prospero?
The Dark is Rising - Just anything where Hawkin gets to have nice things or is shown as justified
Renaissance Playwrights RPF - Christopher Marlowe (Maybe with Shakespeare/Marlowe) and maybe a horror/supernatural investigation AU angle.
Goethe/Schiller RPF - Anything!

Lifesteal SMP:
Prompts: ItzSubz and Vitalasy's whole thing where they made a band and actyally practiced, then used it as a cover for an attack later. Part of a band/band story? Either in the canon universe or any AU. Also for TMA crossover - the whole music plus coverup for violence... please be as creative as you like, but it also really, really fits in easily with Slaughter. Congrats Purple Duo (Vitalasy/ItzSubz), you just reinvented the band Grifter's Bone! xD
The whole thing where Vitalas/ItzSubz is really close and codependent and there's all this calvalier/necromancer (The Locked Tomb) AU stuff. Jaegar Pilots? Bodyguard AU? whatever you like?
Clownpierce/Branzy general shenanigans and gangster/heist movie vibes. Also very fond of NSFW.
Fluff for any of the above! Solo adventures for any character I mention anywhere in the sign up or letter!
What do you love about it?: From least to most important:

What do you love about it?: From least to most important:
1. I love how into hacking and exploits some of the members are, and how they bring that sense of trying things out into the story and set up something crazy to break the game for a big story moment every once in a while!
2. I really like how many minecraft roleplays - including this almost read as an old-school shakespearean play, like the histories or tragedies, with no character totally unsympathetic or without a voice but a lot of danger and evil. I find this backdrop leads to some neat, very ride-or-die passionate relationships, whether you're looking at it as friendship or something shippy. You also get some interesting stories - and it's not all about badasses, like there's Branzy who's older with known poor fighting skills but is more of a politician. Or the three heart trio, who spent a long time down to three hearts, and imprisoned, supporting eachother and breaking out.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I like stuff centered around the pairings Clownpierce/Branzy and Vitalasy/ItzSubz and also any solo adventures from any of those people - or from Parrotx2 - who has many interesting stories as he's run the server and kept order off and on and also likes to break the game. Or Zam <3 who's style and stories I like - he has a real flare for mythology reference and drama.
Note: Though I do like Vitalasy/ItzSubz and PrinceZam, I'm not a huge fan of the Eclipse Kingdom aka vitalasy/itzsubz/princezam - or at least their canonical season 4 arc and how it was handled - wasn't one i felt i vibed with enough to focus on. But if you want to drop references, I'm not super opposed like some ppl are. and I <33333 (there aren't enough 3's in the world to express it) each member of that trio/triad individually.
Note: not quite a DMW, but the closest I come is I don't like to watch/read about the character much and I'd prefer if you avoid Reddoons and maybe Reddoons/Ashwag.
Cultist Simulator:
Until I get more written. Characters requested: Teresa Galmier | The Baldomerian, Player Character, The Elegiast, Victor.
Faves: Solo Teresa G., Teresa Galmier/Julian Coseley/Christopher Illopoly, Stuff about the Player Character's journey, especially the Dancer and the Painter/Ghoul routes and the Main Forge route. Victor either solo or involved in flustered (canonical, lol) incestuous feels for his sister, Rose. Or involved in some Edge-flavored romance/rivalry. Also if you were able to bring in some of the relationships between the "Gods"/Hours that could be so cool. I love having that weird paranormal/poetic vibe CS has just seep into everything as well.
Foyle's War:
I almost didn't think this would be on there, so cool?????
Anyway, Requested: Paul Milner. Anything with him is great.
Also I like the period and how the show expresses it so much. Any sort of period M/M (or even some sort of NB flavor, though how that gets expressed in the WWII period could be limited but very interesting) would be very welcome. Milner with either of the Foyles could be cool. or Andrew/Someone else in the background of whatever's going on? Original characters welcome. Also Sam is awesome, just an awesome character, if you want to bring her in on any cases. Or just some straight up gen fluff, or gen casefic.

Also, the Richard II fandom on tumblr is really nice!
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Mostly interested in how it deals with kingship/rank/gender as a performance. Or historical costume porn, Or the relationship between Richard II and Aumerle, romantic or platonic. Anne of Bohemia, Bagot, Bushy, Greene, etc. are also welcome to join the polycule.
Other Prompts for Drabbles as Treats:Shakesperian plays!
Romeo and Juliet - Mercutio/Tybalt
The Tempest - Fae Shenanigans, WTF is up with Prospero?
The Dark is Rising - Just anything where Hawkin gets to have nice things or is shown as justified
Renaissance Playwrights RPF - Christopher Marlowe (Maybe with Shakespeare/Marlowe) and maybe a horror/supernatural investigation AU angle.
Goethe/Schiller RPF - Anything!
