Yuletide 2023
Dear Yuletide Author,
Thank you so much for writing for me!
First of all, I want to say that I generally feel like people write best when they are writing things they love! I have some likes and dislikes here, but just know, in general I have very broad tastes. If you have certain kinks and tropes that are especially close to your heart or you are inspired to write and you are nervous about writing them for me, unless I listed them as something I specifically DNW, you have my full blessing. If I didn't list something as a DNW, it isn't a squick for me, even if it's something that is often squicky or triggery for many people. Inversely, just because something isn't on my likes list doesn't mean I won't like it. If you think something is a little out there, just trust me: I will probably love it.
Everything here is just ideas, things I usually like, and starting points, so hopefully something in here inspires you. If you have other ideas or are inspired to go in a different direction, follow your heart. I leave myself in your capable hands.
Also, I am happy to receive treats!
General Likes: historical research and detail, humor, characters of all levels of morals, complicated relationships, happy endings, un-happy endings, small moments, backstory, getting-together, intense feelings and relationships, forced proximity (only one bed, huddling for warmth, etc.), hurt/comfort, pastiche, unusual formats and storytelling, epistolary fic
Smutty and shippy likes: dry-humping, non-penetrative sex, oral sex, clothed or mostly clothed sex, masturbation, first times, hand-jobs and fingering, theesomes and moresome, shame/embarrassment, dubcon and noncon. A past Smut Swap letter with more smutty likes can be found here.
General DNWs: soulmates, wingfic, unrequested alternate setting AUs (i.e. Coffee shop AUs, Regency AUs) (Canon-divergence/fix-its/alternate endings are all fine), asexual/aromantic headcanons, kidfic, tooth-rotting fluff, reader-insert
Smut DNWs: scat, sounding, underage below age 15, maledom/femsub in m/f pairings
1. Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh
Curtis Craig
Trevor Barnes
Phantasmagoria 2 takes on a lot of big topics, like queerness, kink, mental health, and abuse. How successfully it deals with any of these varies, but I think there is a lot of interesting stuff there, and I would love a fic that digs into any of the ideas the game was engaging with, while also being a schlocky FMV game in 1996. I would be happy for a fic that is serious in tone, but would be equally happy to get a fic leaning into the cheesiness of the game.
The tastes of Curtis/Trevor we got in the game left me wanting more. I am pretty ok with whatever direction you want to go with in this one. I would be into a happy-ending fix-it fic, where Curtis and Trevor decide to get out of there before they get in too deep and where Trevor lives. I would also be really into a variety of not-so-happy endings. Or things that are not fix-its or endings at all, but just a moment in the course of the game (or some point that diverges from the game) where they….kiss/hook up/Curtis confessed his feelings/etc.
I would love smut for this pairing and I would be thrilled to see any of the kinks brought up in canon: bondage, whipping, piercing, cross-dressing (I know this one isn’t a kink in game, but I would be happy to see it as one here). How would it be for Curtis to explore these things with somebody other than Therese? How does Trevor feel about it? I would also be into smut that takes advantage of Curtis’s alien-ness: weird biology, transformation, tentacles, that sort of thing. Get as wild as you want in this regard. Maybe as post-canon fic where Trevor lives and helps Curtis accept his monstrosity (via freaky alien sex)? And if there is a kink you want to include that I don’t mention here or isn’t present in canon, as long as it’s not a DNW, feel free to go with it. Curtis is always learning new things about himself. I am also totally happy if you want to lean into the darker and horror aspects of the canon, in conjunction with smut or not.
I really liked Curtis’s scenes with Dr. Harburg, if you wanted to incorporate those or maybe use them as a framing device. It might also be interesting to see something from Trevor’s perspective, since the game is so in Curtis’s head. Also, while my main request is Curtis/Trevor, I think Jocilyn and Therese are both interesting characters and I don’t mind at all if they are in the fic.
2. Peep Show
Mark Corrigan
Jeremy Usbourne
Peep Show is one of my comfort shows and I return to it over and over. My main desire in a fic is that it takes advantage of the show’s gimmick so the reader is “hearing” Mark and Jez’s thoughts.
I would love to see classic fic tropes played out as misadventures for these two: Pretend dating? (A lie one of them makes for some reason that they then must play along with?) Only one bed? Accidentally married/marriage of convenience? (Some kind of scheme on Jez’s part that Mark is forced into playing along with?) Huddling for warmth? (Camping? Outdoor hijinks?) I would suggest trapped together, but that already happened in canon. I am also down for wackier tropes, like body-swap or sex pollen.
What kind of circumstances would lead to Mark and Jez hooking up, or Mark resigning himself that they are dating, or them ending up married, or something else along those lines? I was delighted by the show going for it with Jez being queer in the last season, and I could see Mark just eventually agreeing to give it a shot if Jez wore him down. I am down for any rating, and if you want to include sex scenes, I am fine if they have a funny, sex-comedy vibe, rather than being “hot”, exactly. I am not looking for a perfect romance here, and I’m totally happy if they, for instance, hook up but don’t enjoy it, or date but don’t stay together permanently (well, any more than they are already stuck together forever as roommates), or some other ambivalently slashy scenario. I like the tone of the show and whatever they get up to can be as successful as anything they ever get up to.
3. Trailer Park Boys
Julian (Trailer Park Boys)
Ricky LaFleur
My desire for Trailer Park Boys is canon-typical hijinks with the slashiness turned up. Some possible ideas:
Fake married or fake dating! I can totally see Julian and Ricky getting married for some kind of scheme or scam. Maybe they think it will get them out of some kind of legal trouble? Or maybe it is to get a better trailer only available to married couples? Some kind of benefits fraud? It doesn’t matter if their motivation actually works, in fact, it is probably funnier if it does not. What’s the wedding like? The kiss? What are the vows? Does Ricky think they have to have sex to make it official?
J-Roc is making pornos again, and this time it’s gay porn. Somehow Julian and Ricky are roped in to star.
Julian and Ricky start hooking up while in prison, and now they are out and aren’t sure what happens next. Things are different in prison, so there’s no reason for them to keep hooking up now that they are out, but one of them (ok, probably Ricky) wants to keep it going.
If you want to go a smutty route (which I would be stoked to receive!), I would be totally fine if it is more funny than hot. I am also down if the two of them hook up and have a bad or weird time. On the other hand, maybe they have a good time! After all, apparently Ricky is good at sex. I would be as stoked to receive a sweaty, stoned PWP as anything else I’ve mentioned.
I have not watched the show comprehensively, and I have seen more of earlier seasons than later ones, but feel free to set fic whenever (or in a nebulous time that doesn’t correspond to any specific time in canon) and don’t worry about spoilers.
4. The Righteous Gemstones (TV)
Benjamin Jason "BJ" Barnes (The Righteous Gemstones TV)
Judy Gemstone (The Righteous Gemstones TV)
In a show full of fun weirdos, BJ and Judy might be my favorite weirdos. They are their own distinct flavors of weird individually, and the dynamic they have together is even more extra special. Mostly I just want to see them being weird together. This doesn't mean they have to be getting along fine, their conflict is as much of their relationship as when they get along, so if you want explore a moment where they are having a fight over something, that would be fine with me! One thing I would be interested in seeing some of their relationship from before the show starts. Maybe some kind of first time: first time meeting each other, first date, first time having sex with each other, first time meeting the family (either of their families), etc.
I would be thrilled to get smut for them, since it is clear from the show getting up to some weird sex. I am happy for the two of them to get up to really any kink not in my DNWs. I don’t mind if it’s not something I am into, as long as BJ and Judy are into it. It’s their enthusiasm for each other that I really love, so if their smut has more of a silly or strange vibe than a straightforwardly sexy one, that is totally fine by me. In fact, the more out there the better. Some smut ideas:
The two of them engaging in the worst, cringiest, strangest and most off-putting dirty talk or role-play...and they are both SO into it.
I was intrigued by BJ calling Judy “Daddy” that one time. I would love to see where they might go with that as far as role-play, especially considering how loaded the name “Daddy” can be on the show. Totally fine if their role-play goes in an incest or ageplay direction.
If you want to go there with the canonical instance of watersports between them, by all means.
