Dear Yuletide writer!

This is my Yuletide letter!

If you have an idea in mind already, you might want to leave this page right now—I'm starting with that because I hope you do, and I hope you'll ride that crazy train right off a cliff and into a beautiful explosion of wonder and glory secure in the knowledge that it's exactly what I wanted, because you're probably right.

However, if you'd prefer a few parameters, possibly even some suggestions? I'm good. You good? I am. Let's go.

A  very, very basic overview of my preferences: funny good, angst bad. It doesn't have to be light comedy, mind you—and it certainly doesn't have to be comedy at all! But the stuff I like best is stuff that doesn't wallow, mope, or monologue (unless the wallowing, moping, and/or monologuing are exploited for comic effect, of course :) ). I love absurdism, fourth-wall hijinks, wanton abuse of narrative conventions and the characters themselves, bizarre pairings, and crack AUs. Canon compliance is not a big deal. Cheeky shenanigans are a big deal.
