Dear Purimgifts 2020 Author
Jan. 5th, 2020 06:59 pm... Hi! This is, uh, my first ever gift exchange, so I... hope I'm doing this right? And this is, like, reasonable requests/the general format/tone they should be in? (Aaaa..!) Sorry if I've messed up somewhere...
I'm mostly hoping for, like, explorations of Judaism and Jewishness and Yiddishkeit and the way characters interact with that (including, if it fits, rejecting it/parts of it! or being hesitant! "Apikores" is still very Jewish.).
I... think I wouldn't want AUs, because I feel like it would be hard to explore the Jewishness of the characters-in-the-work in an AU? But I haven't read all that many AU fics so I'm not sure how much you can still do within AUs so if you think you can get some good thoughts about characters' Jewishness in an AU, then, go for it? (My thoughts are the same on crossovers, I think.)

Fairy Tales

(Is this stuff... too specific? way too demanding? I don't know what is reasonable, you probably have a lot more experience than me -- if it's too much, feel free to play as loose as reasonable. I won't be insulted or feel like it isn't a fill (unless it's like, absolutely ignoring any sort of even vague directionality, I guess. maybe.), I'll just take it as feedback that I asked for too much.)

That could be focused on a single character, in backstory-building-ways or in following-thoughts-during-canon-events ways or in any other way of focusing on a single character,
or through characters' relationships and the way those are affected by/affect/interact with the characters' Judaism,
or through worldbuilding institution stuff, or, etc. This isn't an exhaustive list, just, thoughts of ways.
