Thank you so much for writing a story for me! I appreciate your work!
I'm neotoma on AO3 and I've participated in Yuletide for several years, so I'm glad you're participating too!
General likes and dislikes:
Dislikes -- 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.
Onto the fandoms -- SGU, An American in Paris, The Limehouse Golem
Stargate Universe:
There's a lot of broken and struggling relationships between the crew and people back on Earth. I'd love a story about Wray and Rush being mutual supportive -- she's about the only one on the crew who call him by his given name -- as she's been forcibly separated from her wife by the distance, while he has been by death. There's also the contrast of Lisa Park, who has established new romances for herself on the ship, and Vanessa James, who lost her old romance and not found a new one -- you could write a friendship story there. Or combine the two. Note: I do not ship Young/Rush, Young/TJ, Rush/Chloe, or Wray/anyone not her wife, so please don't write that for me either.
An America in Paris:
Just give me a story about what happened to any of the other characters after the movie ended. None of their subplots got resolved!
The Limehouse Golem:
I'd love a story about Kildare's struggles to recover from being so wrong about the Golem case, and how he rebuilds his sense of himself given his shining reputation and internal knowledge of failure -- Flood and Dan Leno as contrast and/or support. Just as a note, I read Kildare as asexual and Leno as probably flexible, and certainly not judgmental, so I think a talk between the two, knowing as they both do different faces of the seedy reality of the Limehouse, would be really interesting.
