Dear Yuletide Writer Letter 2023

fluffybunDear Yuletide Writer,
Examples of H/C tropes I love: accepting injury to protect someone else, amnesia, atonement, illnesses, comfort food/item, cuddling, disappearing, falls from grace, forced to face fear, hospital stays, hugs, learning to be loved, mistaken identity, being on the run, sacrifices, scars, taking care of someone, trapped together, trust issues
General Dislikes:
I would love to receive anything for any of my requested fandoms and characters - there are just more prompts for some of them because I had more ideas for some of them. :) My fandoms are ordered alphabetically and not in any order of preference :) I've consumed all my requested fandoms (everything available in English) so feel free to use any detail from each! (More specific details noted per fandom.)
Spoilers ahead for all canons!
I don't have any preference for the name for the main character, but the movie has given her name as Sakurai Kana so you can use that if you like :)
Canon:
Liar! Uncover the Truth is a a visual novel that revolves around the Main Character exposing the lies of her suitors which she all met at a matchmaking event after breaking up with her boyfriend. She is told by a fortuneteller that she will find her perfect match, but she must make sure to find out the lies of her other suitors.
Comments:
I really appreciate MC here in this game, she has to put up with a lot before her happy ending (and in the events and the lover's ends as well). She knows what she wants and won't let herself settle/accept lies. She's strong and driven.
Prompts:
I'd like to see anything about the MC post-game, any missing scenes, or changes to the main story. Does she advance in her position at her company, maybe even working abroad? Does she realize how fond she is of her coworker Ayumi? What was she like when she was younger? Does she take any more advice from the fortuneteller or her friend Yuri and apply such to her life?
For shipping: I do ship her with Mamiya Haruichi, Shiga Shotaro, Yuikawa Itaru, and Kagami Kazumi. If ever, I'd love to see anything about them together, maybe an expansion of the Lover Ends or the Liar Files about them, or even what happens if they met in a different way.
Since it is confirmed that all three Liar! games happen in the same universe, I would also love a fic where any two or all three of them meet up in some way, maybe with relation to work or to their love issues.
ダウト～オフィスは男女の嘘だらけ～ | Doubt ~Ofisu wa Danjo no Uso Darake~ | Liar! Office Deception (Visual Novel)
Main Character
Notes: I have played up to the end of the main story and all of the Liar Files related to Liar! Office. I have not played anything not released in English like the Lovers' Routes.
I don't have any preference for the name for the main character (I would prefer any name of your choice instead of Y/N).
Canon:
Liar! Office Deception is the first spin-off/sequel of Liar! Uncover the Truth and like its predecessors, it is a a visual novel that revolves around the Main Character exposing lies of her co-workers (not potential lovers like the first game alone, though many do express romantic interest in her). The Main Character, after breaking up with her boyfriend, is transferred to an underperforming team to lead it; in doing so, she must find out what each of her coworkers might be hiding/lying about to protect her job and also in finding the non-liar that will be her partner in life/work.
Comments:
Main Character here is really strong and work driven and suffers a lot to get her happy ending. Immediately thrown into a hostile environment, she has to make people work together while finding out anyone who is actively sabotaging her team's work. She has a tough image yet a soft side as well, especially when it comes to her cat.
Prompts:
I'd like to see anything about the MC post-game, any missing scenes, or changes to the main story. What if the non-liar/other coworkers had worked with her more openly? What does the reformed (cleaned up) D-Team work on next?
Since it is confirmed that all three Liar! games happen in the same universe, I would also love a fic where any two or all three of them meet up in some way, maybe with relation to work or to their love issues.
For shipping: I do ship her with Kusunoki Kohei, Sasaki Yusei, and Shijo Keisuke. If ever, I'd love to see anything about them together, maybe an expansion of the Lover Ends or the Liar Files about them.
ダウト～セレブは華麗に嘘をつく～ | Doubt ~Serebu wa Karei ni Usowotsuku~ | Liar! Scheming Socialites (Visual Novel)
Main Character
Notes: I have played up to the end of the main story and all of the Liar Files related to Liar! Office. I have not played anything not released in English like the Lovers' Routes.
I don't have any preference for the name for the main character (I would prefer any name of your choice instead of Y/N).
Canon:
Liar! Scheming Socialites is the second spin-off/sequel of Liar! Uncover the Truth and like its predecessors, it is a a visual novel that revolves around the Main Character exposing lies of her co-workers (not potential lovers like the first game alone, though many do express romantic interest in her). The Main Character, after breaking up with her boyfriend/fiance, now has to find a new fiance and also eliminate all the liars around her (both friends and possible lovers) while deciding what she wants to do after finishing college.
Comments:
I really like this season because of the many interactions the Main Character has with both female and male liars and non-liars and how she does her best to present a good image of herself while being an anime nerd deep inside. She had a lot to deal with and even with so many people lying to her, she does get to the happy end with her guts/intelligence and even if it's heartbreaking for her.
Prompts:
I'd like to see anything about the MC post-game, any missing scenes, or changes to the main story. How is her work post graduation? What happens with her family's business? Does she continue modeling or maybe change careers? What if something had changed during the game - for example, taking an interest in the Knave of Diamonds earlier or discovering a certain blog beforehand, maybe trying to maintain a relationship/friendship with a Liar even post exposure?
Since it is confirmed that all three Liar! games happen in the same universe, I would also love a fic where any two or all three of them meet up in some way, maybe with relation to work or to their love issues.
For shipping: I do ship her with Kaname, Haru, Sousuke, and Shotaro. If ever, I'd love to see anything about them together, maybe an expansion of the Lover Ends or the Liar Files about them.

越えざるは紅い花 | The Crimson Flower That Divides: Lunar Coupling (Visual Novel)
Naala
Notes: I have finished the nonR-18 game with all endings. I have not played the fandisc (not available in English).
Canon:
Originally a R-18 PC game, an all-ages version has recently been localized and ported to Nintendo Switch and Steam this year.
Comments:
I really like Naala. Despite her circumstances being less than ideal, she is able to assert herself (and her assertiveness is the key to getting the good endings in the game). She is loyal, resourceful, and brave, no matter what she needs to do (diplomatically, fighting, etc.).
Prompts:
I would like to see more of Naala post game, what she's doing (whether back in her home country or in Nasla). Does she become more proactive in politics, maybe training women to fight? Does she travel to far away lands? What if she had come to Nasla in a more peaceful way (diplomacy, maybe there was no war)? In a different setting, what would Naala be doing?
For pairings (if applicable), I ship her with Esta, Nohl, Ruzi, Suren, and Touya. I'd like to see her interacting with her loved one, maybe celebrating holidays together or traveling together, maybe planning a surprise for the other. Does she involve herself in the work of her partner? Or does she find her own work that they support? In a different setting, how would she meet her partner? I'd prefer a more happy tone for these prompts instead of the tone of the bad endings of this game.
Again, thank you for writing for me and I'm sure I'll love whatever you will write for me :) If you have any questions, feel free to ask through the mods :)
Love,
fluffybun (on AO3, LJ, FFnet and DW)
Hello! I'm really happy that we've matched on any of my fandoms + characters, because I would love to see more fanworks for any of them :) I love Yuletide and am really happy I get to participate this year!
First of all, I apologize for the length of this letter - feel free to skip whatever doesn't interest you! My prompts are a mix of phrases and possible plots - feel free to ignore/mix/choose what appeals to you in any combination (or just one) or ignore all if you have your own ideas :) Feel free also to check out my previous letters for other exchanges on DW and LJ and use prompts from there :) Of course if you have your own ideas, feel free to use them as well!
I would love treats of any kind (including art, interactive fiction) :)
General Likes:
- humor, gen, romance, exploring sides of a character that haven't been dwelled on before, and slice-of-life things :)
- lot of tropes including against all odds, all the firsts (of a relationship or a friendship), arranged marriages that work out, coming of age, competence, drunken confessions, earn your happy endings, embracing imperfections, finding home, happy endings, holiday fics, love letters, maybe ever afters, pretend couples become real, secret identities, soul bonding (or soulmates of any kind/type, strong friendships, unexpected love, unrequited pining that is eventually requited, and UST that eventually gets resolved.
- AUs (ex. Victorian, modern, crossover/fusion AUs (with any of the fandoms listed below, any fandom I've written for, or can ask the mods if you want ^^), detective AUs, different era AUs, fairytale AUs, mafia AU, medical AUs) :) I also like canon divergent AUs :)
- missing scenes, pre-canon, and post-canon stories :)
- '5 Things' Stories, epistolary, different methods of telling a story (letters, emails, diaries, text messages), interactive fiction :)
Examples of H/C tropes I love: accepting injury to protect someone else, amnesia, atonement, illnesses, comfort food/item, cuddling, disappearing, falls from grace, forced to face fear, hospital stays, hugs, learning to be loved, mistaken identity, being on the run, sacrifices, scars, taking care of someone, trapped together, trust issues
General Dislikes:
- explicit underage sex (please age up any underage character)
- bad medicine/science (unless related to canon or plot point)
- rape/non-con unless needed for plot (and please not explicit)
- incest
- scat, bodily fluid play
- graphic violence (human, animal)
- genderswap AU, A/B/O, sex worker AUs/characters getting STDs, mpreg
- bestiality
- character death (of my requested characters)
- breaking up any of my preferred ships (unless otherwise mentioned in prompts)

月刊少女野崎くん | Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Nozaki Umetarou, Sakura Chiyo
Notes:
I've watched the entire anime (with the extras) and am reading the manga. As stated above, I plan to keep reading the manga as chapters are made available in English, so feel free to use elements/knowledge from chapters that come out between now and Yuletide!

Canon:
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is a slice-of-life manga about a male high school student (Nozaki) who asks his classmate to help him with it after she accidentally says "I'm your fan" instead of actually confessing her like for him. Subsequent chapters revolve around Nozaki's depicting love even not having any practical experience and the ensemble cast he draws inspiration from.

Comments:
Sakura and Nozaki's relationship has grown so much from their first meeting! For all that Nozaki is oblivious to love, he is direct with the fact that Sakura is important to him. Still, his words does bring much confusion which is part of the charm of this manga. Only Nozaki could pull out so many lines like 'would you like to come over' and it all becomes manga related in the end :) As Sakura gets to know Nozaki more she finds more things to love about him (although it doesn't stop her from trying to guide him when he's going down the totally wrong path of his assumptions). Their relationship of supporting each other in Nozaki's quest to give Mamiko and Suzuki love (and proper beta) is wonderful.

Prompts:
How would they finally, finally get together? (And does it involve his manga in any way? Maybe he starts pulling moves he's drawn for his manga and Sakura doesn't understand because she thinks it's 'research'.) Will Nozaki ever remember how they first met (and Sakura's unintended inspiring of Mamiko's hairstyle) and what would happen if he did? Does Sakura ever wear the sailor uniform for Nozaki? (Or anything he asks her to 'for research'?) What kind of dates/"dates" do they go on? What if they worked on another manga together? (A one-shot, maybe? Another series running concurrently?) What if someone else finally told Nozaki about Sakura's feelings? (Or an offshoot - a deeper thinking of his relationship with Sakura and what this could lead to?) What if Nozaki decides to help Sakura with a project she has as repayment? (For example, maybe Sakura writes a novel and he gives insight?) Playing an otome game or galge together? Christmas not-date dates? School festival/athletics day/other school event shenanigans? A successful love confession for Sakura (or all the hilarious ways she could fail)? More investigations of common shoujo manga scenarios that aren't feasible in real life? More meetings with their siblings?

AUs are welcome - in any other circumstances, how would these two have met (and hopefully fall for each other)? What if Nozaki had been the first one to approach Sakura instead of what happened in canon because of her skills in art? Fairytale AUs?

Moon Observatory (Batesan Visual Novels)
Anton, Ciel
Canon:
Magical Otoge Ciel is a free visual novel on itch.io/Steam about Ciel, a princess who wants to go out and see the world. Defying the wishes of her father, she and her two knight childhood friends, Florien and Anton go and see what's beyond her kingdom and finds out more about herself along the way.
Comments:
Oh, I love these two together! How Ciel teases Anton and he either goes along with it and is very straightforward or just refuses flat out (the 'flirt' incident) and how devoted he is to her! Anton's selflessness of choosing to protect Ciel by erasing her memories of the year he was her knight because of how pained she was from always remembering how he got hurt protecting her... My heart. I adore how Ciel seems to be the more forward of them yet Anton decides to confess first anyway!
Prompts:
Missing scenes from the year that Anton was Ciel's knight? (Pre-feelings or with mutual starting of feelings?) Their first kiss (whether at the wedding or not)? Anton actually does try to flirt for some reason or another (perhaps to protect them while adventuring)? Their first holiday as a couple (Christmas, birthday, Valentine's Day)? A proposal? (Would Ciel or Anton propose?) What would life be like for them post-game as a princess and the Captain of the Royal Knights? An adventure where Ciel gets to fight at Anton's side? (Maybe with some training beforehand?) Maybe after watching Ciel and Anton being so dense/shy together, Yvin/Ais/Florien take it upon themselves to give the two advice (and one or both of them take it)? A wedding/engagement/adventure of the two with Yvin's involvement?
