Kielbasa, apples (Lucy Glo, Calville Blanc D'hiver, Bramley Seedling), 2 heads of garlic, a tiny cipollini onion (given gratis to get me to try them from the apple farmers), gingerdoodle cookies, dark chocolate walnut cookies, a baguette, also picked up a friend's CSA box as they were out of town: a slicer tomato, a butterkin squash, gold potatoes, a small head of broccoli, broccolini, turnips with their greens, bok choy, red beets (without their greens), 2 yellow onions, and a head of red cabbage about the size of a grapefruit.

I'll make a toasted caprese sandwich, braise the kielbasa with the apples and cabbage, maybe make Korean spicy pork with the bok choy and broccoli, maybe roast the turnips and make soup.

I don't get a CSA box because it is too much vegetable for me to eat in a week. Even if I split a box with other people, that's still a lot of vegetables coming at you ever week.

I went to see a Halloween-themed Looney Tunes shorts program after the market, and then the new Frankenstein (which is very good and also very Romantic in the Romanticism movement sense of the word).

dear yulegoat, sorry for the delay!

General Likes: canon-compliant/canon-AU stories, space adventures, established relationships, new relationships, making out, whump, hurt/comfort, open relationships, relationships that aren't essential to the plot, friends discovering their feelings, characters getting fucked up (however you wanna read that) and fucking, mystery, horror, AUs where people have super powers, and dark dystopian government plots. If you've got an experimental format or style you want to use, go for it. Interactive fiction is great, and all POVs welcome! Porn is also great, and if you wanna get kinky, casual BDSM type stuff is my preference (again, please no lifestyle power exchange type dynamics).
 
General DNWs: mpreg/pregnancy of any kind, kidfic, incest, high school AUs (college, masters, medical school AUs are fine!), omegaverse, watersports/bathroom kinks, daddy/mommy kinks or age play of any kind, 24/7 total power exchange or lifestyle BDSM (outside the bedroom/outside a set period of time), non-canonical major character death, extreme fluff. Not super into tropes that require some kind of biological determinism (ie, these two characters are soulmates bc they've got the same magic wrist tattoo and that's the only reason).

Dear Yuletide Author:

Thank you for writing a story for me! I love it already!

If you have a story in mind in any of the fandoms I requested, go for it--I will love pretty much anything for these sources. I love worldbuilding, I love character-focused fic, I love smut of all stripes, and I love gen. I want to read what you want to write.

In all of these fandoms, I am especially interested in any or all of the following:

--Nontraditional relationship dynamics and the way people find or build a niche for themselves in a world with strict rules--about gender and relationships and everything else.

--Seeing the characters deal with actual historical figures and events and inventions--ones offstage or coming up post-canon, or more detail on events during canon.

--Material culture: how they decorate their rooms, what they have for dinner, how they dress. These fandoms are all made for lavish descriptions of fashion--the men's no less than the women's!


If you are here as a pinch hitter: I'm so sorry. I have all historical fandoms this year. Fortunately they are all fairly short: two stand-alone novels, one film, and one TV series of 6 30-minute episodes. The one that will probably need the least amount of historical research is Mademoiselle de Maupin, which is extremely vague about what year or even what century it's set in.


One general DNW: Animal cruelty. I can handle non-graphic descriptions of hunting, butchery, or veterinary work, but please, nothing with an element of punishment or betrayal--no deliberate harm to animals by people they trust.

Horace - George Sand )

Gingerdoodle cookies, dark chocolate walnut cookies, a baguette, mozzarella, slicing tomatoes, hardy kiwi fruit, pint of pickled red onion, pint of horseradish dill pickles, shisho-orange mint lemonade, lavender-lemon verbena lemonade sour packs, 4 lbs of golden potatoes, 3 heads of garlic, Lucy Glo apples, Spitzenburg apples, shishito peppers, bacon-gruyere wheel, and a lemon tart.

Also, the local No Kings rally was along the street at the market -- there were 3 inflatable shark costumes, 2 unicorns, at least 2 guys in tricorn hats (one was in a complete outfit, probably a RevWar re-enactor). Cars driving by kept honking in support.

I was wearing my magnolia shirt from Morning Witch, my green canvas jacket, flared jeans, and fake snakeskin shoes. I got a number of compliments.

I wrote yuletide promo posts (or just recommendations for two movies I love):

2024's Babygirl (office romance with age gaps and adultery, but in a tender way) and

2013's Inside Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac! The Coen Brothers! Mid-century American folk music! A cat! Llewyn Davis walking so Patrick Zweig could run!)
