Dear Yuletide Author ...

Happy Yuletide, and thank you for writing a story for me! In this letter I have a boatload of of material: first, my general likes and dislikes, and then notes about the fandoms, including what I especially like about the fandoms and a bunch of story ideas ... which you are free to ignore if you have other ideas that suit you better!

Two final things: Please have fun with this! And please don't give me a really sad or tragic story! Poignant is OK, but this is the dark end of the year, and I wish for Yuletide to be bright.

( Cut for lots of stuff .... )
