Dear Yulewriter!

Hi there! I am DELIGHTED that you love one of these things I love! Please, please remember that optional details are optional and write what makes you happy!

Some things I like, not necessarily all in the same story:
-Hurt/comfort, heavy on the comfort, recovery from past/canonical Bad Things
-Domesticity, quiet moments
-Intimacy, sexual or otherwise, the sometimes hilarious weirdness of being so close to someone else, physically or emotionally
-Kidfic, characters interacting with kids, all varieties of accidental baby acquisition whether temporary or permanent
-Cuddles, blankets, coziness, etc.
-Characters being really competent at what they do, even if they have limitations in other areas. Or very competent characters looking at something they don't usually do and figuring out how to be very, very good at it very quickly.
-Winter or holiday stories appropriate to the world of the characters!

DNW: Bummer stories beyond the sad stuff built in to canon. Sad endings, permanent losses, or a focus on acute grief rather than healing. Action-heavy or plot-heavy stories.

As is tradition, for posterity here are this year's batch of bespoke Slash Pictionary prompts for G/T 2026.

As always, everyone did just great and only swore at me a little bit XD My favourite curse this year was possibly "you're lucky I love your cat!"

Best new Universal Symbol was without a doubt "playschool style building with a cross on top and a Hole drawn directly underneath" to designate the Pitt.

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Hi!

I am going to provide you with all the details I can, because that is who I am as a person. Thank you so, so much for writing in one of these fandoms. See you on the 25th!

And if you're not my writer, thank you for looking at my letter! I am entirely open to treats of any length.
