Dear yuletide writer,
I am very much looking forward to reading your story - this year for the first time all my fandoms are from Chinese television, and I hope you are enjoying them as much as I am (have you seen the Rise of Phoenixes yet? It's amazing!)
As you might guess from the above, I am very interested in Chinese cultures and one of the things I enjoy in these TV shows is learning about new (to me) cultural practices - how people address each other as brother/sister/uncle, for example, or the frequent references to ancient poetry, customs of body language etc. If this is something that also interests you, then I would love a fic where such things are explored and discussed.
Other things I like: character dynamics and tension, and there is a lot of that in all of these fandoms. I would be happy with a story from any stage in their relationship - missing scenes, or additional scenes (if you felt compelled to imagine what would happen if characters x and y fell into bed halfway through the series, I would be ok with that!), or character studies which examined the different relationships in the show.
Things I actively dislike: character death (I know, but we can ...not refer to that part of canon, right, or get around it?), marriage, infidelity, watersports. Any other kinks are fine. Especially manhandling. :)
