Make The Yuletide Gay!

Hello Yuletiders! I've got a new mini-challenge for you: Make the Yuletide Gay

The purpose of this challenge is to help those of us who like canon f/f & m/m couples to find one another's requests and to increase the amount of canon m/m & f/f in the collection!

Canon certainly encompasses a lot of things and everyone has their own definition. Depending on the culture, era, and level of censorship in which your canon was made, one level of canon might be more explicit than another. There's also the case of Word of God, one-night-stands, exes, and one-sided relationships to factor in!

For the purposes of this post, all that is asked is that you list your canon ships in good faith. If you see that someone's request isn't what you'd consider to be canon, please keep looking for someone else that does have what you're looking for rather than debating it.

How does it work?
  • List your Ao3 name, a link to your letter, and specify what canon f/f and/or m/m ships you're requesting, as well as any specific prompts you may have for them. If you have the time/inclination to do a little promo post/primer on your canon ship(s), do it!
  • Look through the comments and see if there are any canons you know or would like to get into!
  • Tag your any canon m/m or f/f fics you write this year with "Make The Yuletide Gay" so other people can find them when the collection opens!
Here is a form for you to use if you'd like to opt-in to the challenge:


Since this mini-challenge is all about writing for as many canon gay ships as possible, it only makes sense that we try to make a comprehensive directory of all the canon m/m and f/f ships requested this Yuletide! Fill out the form here with any and all canon f/f & m/m ships that you've seen requested this year. The responses will serve as a filterable and searchable directory.

Canon gay/lesbian pairings: Sweety/Kuhu

Prompts:
-More about the beginning of their relationship. Sweety realizing she can really experience requited love? What about Kuhu’s perspective on it all?
-For that matter, I’d love anything that delves deep into Kuhu and her life story and perspective on her life and relationship with Sweety. The only real change I’d make to the movie is it would have been great to have more Kuhu.
-More exploration of Sweety’s artistic side and how that relates to Kuhu. Does she find that her creativity improves along with the quality of her life?
-Them sneaking away to make out/sleep together when Kuhu is in town for the play
-A big bollywood style wedding???

Note to anyone scrolling through: This is a lovely bollywood movie. It's primarily about the main character coming out to her family and finding a community however there's a wonderful canon f/f ship in it as well.

Canon gay/lesbian pairings: Jane/Zen (Dirty Computer - Janelle Monáe [Music Video])
Prompts: In my letter.

Dirty Computer is a long-form music video (available on YouTube; there’s also a director’s cut on Amazon Prime) for several of the songs of the Janelle Monáe album of the same name. The music video follows Jane in a facility called the House of the New Dawn in the near future. An authority is rounding up people identified as “dirty” (e.g. queer people) and taking them to facilities like the House of the New Dawn to be “cleaned” through deleting their memories and hitting them with a memory-erasing gas called Nevermind gas. Jane is fighting to hang on to her memories while trying to get her lover Zen to remember who Zen was before she ended up in the House of the New Dawn. Some of the songs from the Dirty Computer album underscore Jane’s memories with Zen.

In short: If you’re a fan of dystopias, fashions from the 80s, amnesia plots and/or vagina pants, you might want to check out Dirty Computer.
