Dear Yuletide Writer Letter 2024

Hey! Back for Yuletide yet again after a year off. I'm Marks on AO3, nonnegative on bsky and tumblr, and nonnonnegative on twitter, if you want to find me anywhere. I hope you have fun writing for me.

All ratings are good. More than fine with explicit content. Treats are welcome and I have gifts enabled on AO3!

DNW: the traffic light system, non-canonical nicknames (terms of endearment like "baby" are fine), explicit works featuring characters younger than 16, hopeless endings, pregnancy, lactation, gore, major character death

Likes: canon-divergent AUs, dystopian AUs, reincarnation AUs, loyal knight and their liege AUs, holiday themes, mutual pining, confessions, praise, vulnerability, descriptions of kissing, loyalty to the point of it being a detriment, hurt/comfort, smoking, alcohol and drug use, road trips, motorcycles, shaving, haircuts, memory issues ranging anywhere from amnesia to that thing where a person had minor surgery and realizes their long-term partner is hot as they're coming out of it.

Explicit likes: sex pollen, aliens/captors/other outside forces made them do it, sloppy makeout sessions with fully or partially clothed frotting, rimming, barebacking, praise kink, grumpy characters getting railed, touch-starved characters getting touched and losing their minds over it, oral fixations, sexting, phone sex, sex over zoom/facetime or whatever, arranged marriages that have to be consummated immediately

( individual fandoms with prompts )

That's it from me! Happy Yuletide!
