THIS YULETIDE LETTER IS SO LATE, OH MY GOD
I'm so sorry, Yuletgoat, apparently I've forgotten how to fandom like a sane, polite person. It's been years since I hopped on Ye Ol' Yuletide.
First of all, thank you so much for writing for me this year! Since this letter is so eff-ing late, please feel free to disregard it entirely. If not, here are some things that might be helpful!

Quantico - Official Request:
Ahahaha, okay, so clearly my policy was anti- porn-without-plot when I wrote this letter, but that feels hypocritical seeing as that's basically all I write, so. I TAKE IT BACK, do what you want. I would love a fic that's either Shelby/Alex/Ryan OR Shelby/Alex, Ryan/Alex OR gen, but please don't entirely ignore anybody. I really, really love the getting-together, first-kiss, first-time phase, so I would love a fic that explores that. No AUs, please, unless it's just a timeline AU. Oh, and please don't make the girls' relationship just a prop for Ryan/Alex, that would bum me out.
UnREAL - Official Request:
Actually, the above just about sums it up. I love UnREAL, I want five more seasons of it, and if I can't have that, then I want fic that explores how complex and messed.up. that show is. Anything that has Rachel using her powers of manipulation, be it professionall or personally, would be awesome. I love the inner workings about how the show is produced and the girls are maniupulated, so I would always love more of that.

General Likes/Dislikes
- THINGS I ENJOY (though not, of course, all at once): Fic about women. Fic about women in love. Fic about women who are friends. Bechdel passes. The beginnings of relationships, when everything is shiny and new. Gen fic, of the super well-done kind where everyone is achingly in character. Magical realism. Tropey fic that takes the trope and turns it on its ear just slightly. Fic that is funny, or clever, or slightly sad. Details.
- THINGS I DO NOT ENJOY: fluff, character bashing, fic that is a "missing scene" that basically just retells what we have already seen onscreen, established relationship fic unless there's more going on, kid!fic.
- SEXY FIC: you know what, I'm going to cautiously say go for it, so long as it's in character.
- IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS:
lowriseflare can hang.

I MEAN, on the one hand it feels like the show is telling me that Alex wants to fuck both of these people and I would love a fic that teases out the nuances of those relationships (although no straight up porn please). But on the other hand, if that isn't your bag, I would also really love a more gen fic about the three of them or even the whole damn ensemble at Quantico. My favourite parts of the show are the parts where it basically looks like FBI sleepaway camp, personally.

UnREAL - Official Request:
Honestly, do what you will, Yuletide Goat. Rachel/Quinn, Rachel/Adam, Quinn/Adam, everybody/everybody, a gen fic that's just about Rachel, or just about Quinn, or even just about Adam (although he is my least favourite of the three). I just really love UnREAL and how fucked up it is, and I want to see some fic. I leave it in your capable hands.

Anything about Sarah Braverman, but I would especially love backstory - her growing up, her relationship with the other Bravermans, her moving out, the early years with Amber as a baby. Any of those things. I also, you know, half-ship her with Adam (I KNOW), but since he's not a character you can request, you definitely don't have to write that, Yulegoat.
Hm, I guess my thing about kid!fic doesn't really apply here, since I would love something that's set when Amber and Drew are small, or Sarah is first pregnant. I would also love backstory about when Sarah's generation are kids and/or teens, and how they are as siblings. And yes, I do ship Sarah with Adam, because I am TRASH. Also, also, I would love fic about Adam and Kristina first getting together as teenagers, but since you can't request him (THANKS FOR NOTHING, YULETIDE), that's obviously optional. All of this is optional!
