Dear Yuletide writer:

I am so excited to take part again this year! I got a story last year that exceeded all my expectations, and I think that I'll be equally fortunate this year!

A bit about me: I am a gen girl at heart, so no slash or non-canon pairings, and no porn. I prefer stories with a bit of plot to them--it doesn't have to be a lot. I like my fluff with a touch of angst, and my angst with a touch of fluff. I prefer that any h/c be short on "h" and long on "c". I love "turnabout" stories in which the unexpected character takes the lead. And I am fond of canon characterizations.

I've requested The Hobbit and Children of Hurin--which are related to my main fandom, LotR. If you choose TH, please know that I love Bilbo, and think that he is one of the most under-appreciated characters in Middle-earth. I like a clever, witty, wry Bilbo, who is braver than he thinks he is, but never loses sight of the important things, like tea or brass buttons. If you choose CoH, well, seeing that poor Turin's life is one angsty disaster after another, I have asked for some wee!Turin fluff, contrary creature that I am. I also have requested C.S. Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet series (if you choose that one, I'd like a more serious handling of the themes) and Randall Garrett's Lord Darcy series--any new case with Lord Darcy and Father Sean would be awesome, and if it could be post-A Study in Sorcery and include Lord John Quetzal in some fashion that would be cool too.

I will be very excited to see what you come up with!!

*Waves sheepishly at Dreamflower* I still have the g-fic communitee Yule fic I owe you from last year on my harddrive. I do plan to finish it, and when I do, you'll be the first to know. I have decided not to do any Yule writing this year, other than that story, because it was at Yule last year when my life went nuts and it still is so busy. Hope you get exactly what you want in a story this year.:)

Don't fret about it too much, Garnet. We all know what the RL bug is like! Hope you are able to keep participating in the group, and happy to see you write something for us when you have the time!!
*Hugs*

Really, I know that I will enjoy it when you do get it finished--and it will be a nice surprise!
