Chromatic Yuletide 2024
Chromatic Yuletide is a collection post for Yuletide requests that include characters of colour. Posting here doesn't obligate you to do anything, but it helps writers find your requests and treat you.
Posting requirements:
Your request centers around at least one character of colour.
(I acknowledge there are some shortcomings with the "person of colour" descriptor. I'm also not going to police who is or isn't a character of colour; please just use your best judgment.)
What you must include:
Your AO3 name
Whatever fandoms & characters of colour you're requesting
What you should probably include:
Links to your letter or copy/pasted requests
A brief description of your canon or a link to a canon promo, if you think it's unfamiliar to most people & you want to boost interest in it
If you write for one of these requests, you can tag your fic with Chromatic Yuletide so people can easily find it.

Breakaway Series - E. L. Massey
Letter
I'm requesting Eli, he's Black and Latino, grew up gay in Alabama. This is when he's in college (in Texas).
Title: Breakaway Series - E. L. Massey
Approx length: 400 pages per book (can read just the first two for Eli)
What is it, in summary?: A M/M romance between a disabled, POC figure skater (Eli) and a hockey player. It started life as a Kent Parson Check Please fanfic but quickly grew it's cast of original characters (and the Kent character changed enough) that it got rebranded as original fiction.
What do you love about it?: A flawed character trying to be better and a disabled character getting to be grumpy about things that are difficult for him.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: fic focused on Eli: his cooking video channel, hanging out with the hockey team, playing video games with his boyfriend.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Like Real People Do (the first book) introduces the characters and gives a good sense for who they are.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):
Seizures and hockey injuries.
