Dear Yule Goat,
Thank you for writing a story for me; I desperately need something cheerful this year, as it has been awful.
Do Not Want -- hatesex, extreme power differentials in relationships, mentor-student relationships, dub-con and non-con unless the characters actually deal with how fucked up the relationship is, deathfic without hope
Likes -- nifty worldbuilding, exploring the edge cases (what if the main character doesn't fit into their society's boxes -- how do they cope?), friendship as a priority, casefic and gen fic, puns, happy endings, bittersweet endings that have hope at the end.
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar -- I would like a case-fic that spends a good bit of the time on
The Spiritualist/The Amazing Mr. X -- please write a version where Alexis lives becomes a debunker (and maybe stage magician); he knows how it all works, and the movie ended by implying his death, but didn't actually show it. How do he, Janet, and Christine deal with the events of the movie? (here it is on YouTube, if you haven't seen it).
Doctor Faustus (Marlowe):
Mephistopheles in an Office Worker AU parody where he just can't stand his client, Dr. Faust, and complains to his co-workers and supervisor; anything that lets me imagine Arthur Darvill in Tudor dress looking subtly disgusted with people is a treasure.
