Dear Yuletide writer

Dear Yuletide writer,

Thank you for writing me a present! I'm sure I will love it.

I think the prompts in the details field should be enough, but it's probably worth mentioning that Janelle Monae's The Metropolis Suite (album) is a great fallback if you were assigned for one of the other fandoms but just don't think our tastes in it will be compatible, or none of the prompts suggested strike you as fun. Basically, all you need to do to get enough background for the Monae prompt is watch this seven-minute video (which I obviously think is TOTALLY AWESOME). For additional background, you can always find the other songs on the album. It's an EP, not a full-length album, so if you decide to buy it, it only costs US$7 and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to listen to.

This is not because I don't want the other prompts, though! I just want all of them, so I will be happy with any. I would be equally as excited to see a story for Fringe, Phantom Dream, or The Hazards of Love. Please don't feel like now you HAVE to write for The Metropolis Suite, no matter what you signed up for; that's not what I intended, and it would make me really sad to think of you forced into an obligation you didn't intend to enter.

Oh, one more thing -- I'm not a Christian, so I would rather not receive a Christmas-themed story.

Thank you for writing for me! I hope you have fun doing it.

Best wishes,

thuvia
