Dear Yuletide Writer Letter 2025

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 13:25:02 GMT

Yuletide time again! I'm Marks on AO3 and nonnegative on bsky and tumblr, if you want to find me anywhere else. I hope you have fun writing for me.

All ratings are good. Explicit content is great. Treats are welcome and I have gifts enabled on AO3.

DNW: long discussions of consent, the traffic light system, non-canonical nicknames, explicit works featuring characters younger than 16, hopeless endings, pregnancy, lactation

All ratings likes: canon-divergent AUs, dystopian AUs, reincarnation AUs, timeloop AUs, loyal knight and their liege AUs, 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, sharing a bed, motorcycles, shaving, haircuts, memory issues ranging anywhere from amnesia to that thing where a person had dental 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, arranged marriages that have to be consummated immediately because of law-related reasons.

( fandoms and prompts are under here )

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!

Yuletide Letter 2022

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 03:27:28 GMT

Dear Yuletide Writer,

I'm so excited you're writing for me! I'm a pretty easy recipient. Everything that follows except my DNWs are just suggestions; if you have your own ideas for any of these, please write that instead. I take Optional Details Are Optional to heart. Besides here, I'm also Marks on AO3 and nonnonnegative on twitter.

To everyone else, I am definitely open to treats!

DNW: Repeating these here so everything is all in one place - hopeless endings, lactation, pregnancy, major character death

Rating: G to E are all good with me!

Likes: Characters confessing to each other, codependency, whispered secrets in the middle of the night, desperation of any sort, there's only one bed!, omg they were roommates, arranged marriages, flirting and/or sex from a distance-- over video chat, on the phone, through emotionally-charged letters with increasing levels of losing it, praise, being trapped in cramped spaces together, party games, smoking, drinking, marijuana use, tattoos, sex pollen, trans or nonbinary characters, consensual somnophilia, fighting/scuffling, hurt/comfort in either equal measure or weighted toward comfort

Any holiday theming is fine! You could even do an off-season one. I'd read an Easter fic for Yuletide.

( individual fandoms )
I guess that's it! I hope you have a good time writing for me; I'm sure I'll love whatever you produce. Happy Yuletide!

DYW Letter 2021

Sat, 16 Oct 2021 18:41:14 GMT

I'm happy to be doing Yuletide again after a couple of years off, so I hope you're happy to get me as a recipient. I'm Marks on AO3 and nonnonnegative on twitter.

DNW: Repeating these here so everything is all in one place. Unhappy endings (angst is okay, just please resolve it), lactation, chatfic, major character death.

Rating: Anything is fine.

Likes: Confessions, confessions under the influence, kissing, pining, desperation of both the non-sexual and sexual sort, touch-starved characters, bed sharing, zoom/facetime/skype or phone flirting and/or sex, canon compliance, canon divergent AUs, robots, time travel, woke up married, praise of both the non-sexual and sexual sort, big events like weddings or awards ceremonies that involve characters in formalwear, clothes sharing or clothing mishaps, motorcycles, things happening up against walls, training montages!

Opt-in stuff that people might be hesitant about that are totally okay with me: Sex pollen, aliens made them do it, hypnosis, almost any dub con scenario really, drinking and smoking and drug use, brawling, tattoos, piercings, holiday scenarios (any holiday -- doesn't even have to be a winter one), trans characters, cisswap.

ODAO: Aside from my DNWs, please feel free to go nuts if you have an idea that doesn't fit anything I've already said. Also, topping and bottoming doesn't matter to me, so if you're writing sex, just write whatever configuration you'd like.

( individual fandoms )

I guess that's it! I hope you have a good time writing for me; I'm sure I'll love whatever you produce. Happy Yuletide!
