Dear Yuletide Writer 2023

chancellorxofxtrash Hello dear creator! Welcome to my letter! First of all, treats are welcome, and gifting is open on AO3
Now onto the fandoms:
Kamen Rider Geats
First of all, Worldbuilding - would love to see into the future DGP fandom! Show me the fandom discourse surrounding the fanbase of the DGP. Show me self-insert fics. Show me arguments on future Twitter. Show me the discourse on future Reddit. I'd love to see everything about the future DGP fandom besides the tidbits we had seen of fans who'd like the Bad End.
I also polyship the cast a lot. I'm very set on Ace/Keiwa/Neon/Michinaga OT4, so anything involving them four is always up to grabs for me. Future fic where they drag Ace back home. AUs where they always find each other in different settings. Or maybe Ace even met them in his previous lives... I also am fine with the polycule growing besides them (I also like Ziin/Ace, Kyuun/Neon, Sae/Neon, Sara/Neon, Ace/Win, Win/Tsumuri, Michinaga/Tohru and Keiwa/Daichi).
Fandom-specific DNW: in terms of worldbuilding it's fine if it's people in the future DGP bash characters, but do not make it disproportionate (like don't focus the whole fic on how much future Reddit hates Keiwa, for example). Also, even if you won't write the OT4, please do not make it impossible to happen. This includes having smaller ships included out of the four (like say, only Ace/Neon or Keiwa/Ace, etc). Also if it's OT4, I want all of them in romantic relationship with each other, no sedoretu AU for them.
Kamen Rider Revice
Would love an AU where Muramasa lives. Having to figure out who he is, what his role and purpose should be now. Really just an exploration of his identity issues.
Also. Olteca/Hiromi/George in my damn OT3 and I love them so much. Olteca/Hiromi is also good. I'll never be tired of Olteca being dragged kicking and screaming into redemption, even if he doesn't want to be. I'd also love to see AUs for them.
Kamen Rider Zi-O
HIRYUU IS MY EVERYTHING. I'd absolutely love to see more of him. His anger, his bitterness, him trying to figure out how to live, having molded his entire life around revenge. I also ship him with Sougo like hell so feel free to play with that. Original timeline HirSou is also fun, Ohma Zi-O and his terrible boyfriend, maybe. Or something sorting out before the reset. Or post-canon, even with not remembering the show's events, Hiryuu still has this bitterness in his soul, and still makes horrible decisions. Talk to me about Hiryuu.
Kamen Rider Decade
Just... talk Tsukasa to me. Talk Daiki to me. Talk about the whole OT4 to me. Crossovers are very welcome, have them travel into another rider show - either the actual worlds of Heisei shows instead of the AR worlds, or one later show we didn't see them visit, like have them pop into Zero One or Revice, or if you feel spicy, an AR version of these worlds. (From Heisei Phase 1 I had only seen Blade, Kiva and DenO besides Decade. From Phase 2 I have seen everything except for all of Gaim, Wizard and Ghost. From Reiwa I haven't finished Saber yet. And nothing from Showa yet. I might finish/watch more by the time of December, but I cannot be sure, so if you want to write crossovers/references, better to focus on the ones I had seen so far.) Tell me about their adventures. Or just... tell me about a quiet day at the photo studio, finally the four of them resting, and just bickering and having fun.
Fandom-specific DNW: it's fine if you aknowledge Zi-O vs Decade, just fix it that Tsukasa still comes back somehow.
Etsusa Bridge
This... is a long shot I am aware. Etsusa Bridge is a short light novel series by Narita Ryohgo, the author of Baccano and Durarara, taking place in the same universe.
I'd love to see worldbuilding - tell me more of the island's residents. Tell me what kind of youtube video essays happen about the island. You know a lot of channels are gonna cover the bridge's construction, and the failure, and what became of it. Tell me about posts where people make up stories about having visited the island - and real stories of people's experiences.
Tell me about the North and the South before the events of Bow Wow. What were they like?
I also very much ship Hayato/Seiichi so just. Would love to see anything about them, really.
Fandom-specific DNW: do not ship Hayato and Seiichi with anyone besides each other. Every ship I mention in this letter, I am more than fine with polying them up, they are the only exception. Not even in a poly setting. Also no sexual content for the two of them, not even implied.
General things I like:
Bickering, bantering
Battle couples/moresomes
Sparring leading to making out
Porn With Plot
Soulmate AUs (especially if they are unconventional - say, you fall in love with someone who is not your Soulmate, and going against societal expectations, and of course exploring poly soulmates)
Romance, love and fluff and kisses and cuddles
That italicized oh, especially if followed with oh no or oh fuck
characters looking at themselves and going “really?!?!! we have to develop feelings for them?!?!!?”
"oh the idiots are out early… oh shit it’s MY idiot” dynamic
codependency. characters who’d let the world burn, as long as they can be together
okay, so maybe they will probably do the right thing - provided their lover is safe first.
chaotic gremlins or originally evil characters forcibly made behave, because they got attached to a ray of sunshine and THIS WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER IF THEY HADN’T BEEN INFLICTED WITH MORALS GODDAMNIT
fantasy AUs - dragons and magic and all of it
Sci-fi AUs - especially to the style of Firefly, spaceships with small crews traveling alongside each other. Maybe all falling in love with each other, during the long times in deep space
sedoretu AU
Pacific Rim AU
I love “weird” romances. One of them is a sentient spaceship. Or a robot. Or one of them is possessing the other. I love some good ol’ fashioned monsterloving too.
Hurt/comfort
General DNW:
cheating, any shape or form
character bashing
animal death/abuse. if it’s say, an adventure story where giant spiders attack the cast, and they have to kill it, that’s fine, but any other way, no
A/B/O
noncon (Dubcon is fine)
unrequited love
sad endings, unless otherwise specified.
homophobia, transphobia, even internalized - no struggling with sexuality or gender identity. there’s enough of that IRL, i want to see this part of the relationships be smoother in fiction. same goes for anti-poly sentiments
Nonhuman characters being changed into humans in an AU. If say, you change an AI into a demon in a fantasy setting or vice versa, that's fine, but not changing them into humans.
