Dearest Yuletide Author,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my thoughts/semi-prompts and writing something wonderful for me. I know it can be nerve-wracking to write for someone else, especially about something that they are undoubtedly passionate about, but me, being in the same boat, would like to put your mind at ease a little; I am going to love whatever you write for me and know it will be amazing ♥

Here are just a few things I've thought about the media I've requested and perhaps some prompts to get you started. Feel free to disregard what I've written here and run with whatever plot bunnies come along.
I've copied and pasted some of the info from previous letters, but check out my Yuletide tag if you find that it'll be helpful :)

In general...

• I just want to see the characters in these beloved movies/shows back in action :D
• I love insight into characters, expounding on a minor detail that ends up being a main reason why the character acts the way they do.
• If we're talking about science fiction, I like to see scientific stuff/jargon thrown in.
• Existential angst and psychology are always good things, though perhaps lighter on the angst if possible ^^
• I am a shipper at heart, so any cute-romantic interactions you can throw in between characters that are compatible will be well-received :)

Dearest Author,
thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter. I'm not sure if you're a person who likes specifics or if you'd prefer more general prompts, but hopefully this letter will spark some ideas; I will be pleased with anything you will have written me :D

This year's letter is going to look awfully similar to last year's letter, but I guess I should add a few more things.

( Sunshine, Faith, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and Reply 1997 )
Thank you once again for reading this and writing! I hope you have a wonderful experience and I look forward to seeing your work ♥

...or at least, trying to. I've joined je_ficgames and sign-ups are still up, so definitely try that out. Their teams this year is Present, Future, and AU and the prompts will be based on famous Johnny's quotes. I've never done this before, but I think it'll be fun :D
I've also joined the Kaleidoscope Challenge with darkagenda which promotes chromatic (people of color) fandoms, like our lovely Asian drama community :) I think it's hard to find drama!fic, so this is a nice way to promote that. If you're up for a challenge, it's still in the nomination phase so you can pick sources, so long as they're both made by and feature chromatic characters. I think they can make exceptions if the creator is not of color, but it might not be approved. Like, I nominated Sunshine because half its main crew is colored, but it was created by Danny Boyle and it's not guarantee it'll be accepted. Worth a shot -I couldn't think of anything else to nominate that I wanted to write/read.

Oh! And I also just finished another writing challenge recently, not_primetime, and I wrote and received Firefly fic! :D/
I signed up for pinch-hit notifications, and found out that nobody could write for me...But in the end, the mods are great and found me someone and even wrote a treat for me <3
Both were character pieces, the first one being really reflective and beautiful, and the second being light and playful.

After the War is Over (1573 words) by Makioka

And to complete this entry, here's a meme I picked up from carmine_pink a while back :)
- Go to page 7 of your current WIP. (If you haven't gotten that far, go to the last page you've written.)
- Go to line 7.
- Copy down the next 7 lines, sentences or paragraphs and post them exactly as they are written. No cheating.
- Tag 7 authors in your f-list. Do it if you want. :)

Happy Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Birthday, and Sunday to all~
I suppose this is a little belated, so I hope it went well ♥

In the spirit of the coming New Year, I'll probably be revamping my profile, making a proper intro post, and possibly contemplating changing names again.
