dear yuletide writer!
ɬax̣ayam! Dia dhaoibh! Khairete! Hello! My AO3 name is ![[personal profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/20438-2255903/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
AlexSeanchai (EllieMurasaki).
I am explicitly open to crossovers between my requests. I am totally here for poetry treats (or poetry full assignment if you are nuts like me—for srs I'm nuts), and interactive and/or choose-your-own-adventure fiction. Also genderbending, racebending, queer headcanons, trans and genderqueer headcanons, neurodivergent headcanons, and other flavors of respectful representation of marginalized people.
Likes: FEMSLASH. GEN. Het centering and empowering the woman. Polyamory. Ladies being awesome. People of color being awesome. Queer people being awesome. Trans and genderqueer people being awesome. People of minority religions (especially polytheists, ancestor worshippers, and animists) being awesome. Disabled people being awesome. Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people being awesome. Mentally ill people being awesome. Competence kink. Nonperfect people having nonperfect relationships (whether familial, platonic, romantic, or sexual) but all parties are good people trying to make the relationship work as best they know how. Ordinary people caught in extraordinary events. Worldbuilding!
Dislikes: Non- or dub-con sexual activity and anything that contributes to rape culture. Sexual and/or romantic relationships that break the xkcd 314 rule, which is to say, if a character's age is x, the youngest someone they're involved with can be is ((x/2) + 7) and the oldest someone they're involved with can be is 2(x - 7)—immortal characters break the letter of this rule as a matter of course, so if relevant, use your judgment on how to abide by its spirit. Magically healed disability. Anything that sets off my embarrassment squick—avoid public humiliation, for instance. Anything sexy involving eating or excreting (though if you want to write food porn in the sense of conveying what a tasty meal the characters are having, go to town) (and no, this doesn't bar one character eating out another, as long as there's no food in that bit). Disrespectful treatment of polytheism, ancestor worship, and/or animism. Disrespectful treatment of [insert marginalized group here]. "Idiot ball" (which trope needs a less ableist name).

I could say a lot about exploring what do we mean by 'art' (and/or 'craft(s)') and what do we mean by 'artist(s)' and what do we mean by 'audience' and how these interact on various levels, but let's be honest: you probably had a story in mind when you offered this canon. I want that story.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Cartoon 1966)
The Grinch (also nominated: Max, Cindy Lou Who, The Whos)
What brought the Grinch to his solitary cave? Post-movie, how does he build and maintain relationships with Cindy Lou and the other Whos, and how much of that involves hiding in the cave with no one but maybe Max? He seems very autistic to me—how do the Whos adapt to make visiting the village more accessible for him?
Something Familiar - S. N. Arly
Brigitte Defresne-Li; Hēi Māo | Jacque Parenteau (also nominated: Pierre Parenteau)
The future of Brigitte and Hēi Māo's relationship, please. How they, individually or together, relate to Pierre, or to anyone else in their orbit. Worldbuilding?
