Yuletide letter
Oct. 25th, 2019 06:46 pmDear Yuletide Author,
I’m SweetPollyOliver on AO3 and this is my first year participating in Yuletide. Thank you so much for offering one/some of the fandoms I’ve requested; I adore them all and would be delighted with a fic for any of them. With the exception of my DNWs, if I suggest anything that doesn’t vibe with the story you want to write feel free to follow your muse rather than try to incorporate what I’ve suggested.

DNWs
Gattaca
So, as indicated in my DNWs I would like an AU where THE THING doesn’t happen at the end. I would love fic with Eugene and Irene bonding during Vincent’s mission, with initial prickliness on both sides and some jealousy. I also have a scene in my head where Vincent comes home to them decorating (a tree? General welcome home stuff?) and bickering good naturedly. In terms of shipping, I prefer Vincent/Eugene, or Irene/Vincent/Eugene, but gen is also more than fine. If you do go down the smut route (which I’m very open to!), I’m not very interested in fic where Eugene magically can have sex exactly like a non-disabled person would.
Some Like It Hot
My biggest ask here is that she/her pronouns be used for Daphne throughout. In terms of shipping, I like the canon ships and I like allusions to Daphne and Joe having had a thing in the past. For years I’ve been threatening to write a fic where Sugar very earnestly asks Daphne what she wants to be called, but maybe you can do it for me, lol. Otherwise, anything post-canon would be great. If you can think up any hijinks, all the better!
TAZ: Amnesty
My preference is for a Hollis/Keith fic of one kind or another, any point in canon, any rating. Post canon or pre-fighting the Quell would be amazing. Alternately, trans!Duck fic would be perfection.
The Tick
I would love Overkill/Dot and/or Tick/Arthur, but gen team fic is also great. For Overkill/Dot, it would be fantastic if Overkill was a virgin and kind of embarrassed about it and Dot gently shepherded him into the magical world of sex. Full disclosure, I kind of think most of the guys in The Tick are virgins, so inexperienced!Arthur and the Tick fumbling around would also be amazing. For Tick/Arthur, I prefer stories where the Tick is always naked as opposed to never naked, i.e. what you see is what you get in terms of equipment, so a certain amount of ingenuity in writing sex that’s a bit off the beaten track would be very appreciated.
Singin’ in the Rain
Cosmo/Don/Kathy fic would be amaaaazing. Something post-canon where they’re feeling out a new relationship would be lovely. Maybe Cosmo and Don had a thing and Cosmo assumed that if a serious relationship came along for Don that it’d be over and had kind of made his peace with that, only to discover he can have his cake and eat it too. Details about Old Hollywood are a big plus for this fandom.
Princess Bride
My kingdom for more Inigo/Fezzik fic tbh. Whether they were together all along or get together post canon, it’s all good. If you want to add a disability element (something relating to Inigo’s alcoholism? Maybe Fezzik has chronic pain?) to things it would be both Christmas and my birthday.

DNWs
- Character death, including canon character death
- Non-con or dub-con
- Darkfic
- Central focus on period typical prejudice; don’t feel you have to be ahistorical or overly twee and ignore any and all Bad Things, but I’d rather that the fic focused on something other than oppression
- Choking, humiliation, Daddy/Mommy kink, unnegotiated kink in general
- Specific to Some Like It Hot: cis!Daphne
- Specific to Gattaca: Eugene having full sensation during sex
- Specific to The Tick: Christmas fic
