patroklaDear Yuletide Writer,
Thank you so much in advance for writing a fic for me! I'm very excited to read whatever you write. Under the cut you can find some DNWs as well as some general points of interest I have for the fandoms in my requests that I thought might be helpful:
DNWs: character death for any specifically nominated character, really excessive gore or body horror (mentions of it are fine, but I'd like to avoid the finer details of e.g. disembowling), onscreen CSA or incest, pregnancy, infidelity without any kind of hopeful ending.
Would prefer to avoid: Common AUs (e.g. a/b/o, high school/college AUs, actors, soulmates etc). I do like niche AUs (really anything that you in particular are really knowledgeable about! Marine biologists, bus drivers, radio show hosts, wrestlers, etc), so if you have any ideas in that vein please feel free to explore them!
General thematic/narrative interests: explorations of trauma, abuse, and/or internalized homophobia, unreliable narrators, canon divergence, hurt/comfort stuff that's heavy on the hurt. Dead dove and/or explicit fic is fine as long as it doesn't include any DNWs. I like to read the kind of stuff I write, so my AO3 page might be helpful.
The Green Knight (2021)
Characters: Any
So I somehow saw this movie 5 times in theaters and still think about it on a daily basis, and I'd be happy to read literally anything you write about it! I didn't nominate any specific character for this because I find the dynamics between so many different characters in the film to be really interesting and full of potential to explore in fic - especially but not limited to Gawain's relationships with Essel, his mother, and the Lord and Lady (also Gawain and his horse, although Gringolet wasn't nominated as a character). The 'Any' selection includes worldbuilding, and I would be really interested in getting some worldbuilding especially about the more magical/supernatural aspects of the world - especially the giants, St. Winifred, and Gawain's mother and sisters.
In terms of Gawain's possible death at the end of the film - I'm of the mind that he survived as he did in the poem, but I'm fine with a fic where he does die.
Lovesick
Characters: Any
I like romcom shows, and I really loved this one. Slow burning friends-to-lovers, full of misunderstandings and people repressing their feelings out of nobility and a desire for someone else's happiness? Absolutely ideal.
I really enjoyed Dylan/Evie in the canon, but would also be interested in Dylan/Luke/Evie! Really anything that explores their friendships/relationships is good by me, in a canon or AU setting.
Disco Elysium
Characters: Worldbuilding
To be honest I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for in a Disco Elysium fic. I love the game but haven't engaged with the fandom beyond a few pieces of fanart, and haven't read any fic. I'd say my interest in the game isn't primarily driven by an interest in the character relationships, but more in the setting, history, and atmosphere. I'm happy to read something about any of the characters nominated, although I'd prefer it not to be Precinct 41-centric, but I'd also be happy to read something exploring an event, place, or possible future mentioned in the game.
If it's any help, I most enjoyed the quests about the church/dance club, the cryptids, and the doomed commercial area, and also the whole situation with HDB and the smoker on the balcony, and my favorite characters were Kim, the paledriver, and the dicemaker.
Thanks for taking a look at this and good luck with the writing! Please feel free to contact me through the mods if you have any questions.
