|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100indecisions | Mystery Science Theater 3000 | Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot | What I really, really want to see is a Doctor Who crossover (they're trapped on a ship with plenty of room for the TARDIS to land! Any Doctor and any companion having to join in the MST-ing would be awesome! Also there's the whole planet-destruction subplot!), but anything plot-related that captures the flavor of the show (or vignettes of life on the Satellite of Love outside the movie theater) would be awesome. | letter |
| 100indecisions | Fallen London | Echo Bazaar | Honestly, just about anything that takes place in this world and captures the flavor and atmosphere of the game would be fantastic. I especially love Spite, the carnival, the Flit, the Forgotten Quarter; experiences with prisoner's honey or gaoler's honey, the sulky bat ("Where are my sodding crickets?"), the bureaucracy of Hell and the Brass Embassy; the tattooed couriers; the Royal Bethlehem Hotel (especially if anyone calls it Bedlam, because I am a historical nerd); how people deal with being killed multiple times (do some people do it deliberately? Weird way of seeking a high? Super-dangerous sexual stuff? I don't want anything really explicit, but this seems like the sort of thing that would naturally start happening); the Comtessa's story; the Correspondence, the Starveling Cat, any the Masters, seeking Mr Eaten's Name (I really, really loved the bit where you have to collect "weeping scars," which is all I'll say because spoilers), fun stuff with dreams (insanity-producing nightmares or the actual recurring dreams). For what it's worth, here's my profile for the game, except pretend it says I'm a lady because I didn't know what I was doing when I signed up and they haven't added a gender-switch option yet. | letter | |
| 100indecisions | The Cabin in the Woods (2011) | What I really wanted more of from this movie was more worldbuilding, because what we got about the Facility was fascinating and I just want MORE. Like, where/when all this started, how the whole thing slowly changed as the world did, what happened in 1993 (I think that's the incident they kept referencing; now I can't find it), random office vignettes with background creepiness, how on earth they managed to get (capture? create?) all those monsters--really anything. Post-movie stuff would be interesting too, although obviously that would be a much...broader canvas. If you can figure out a way to do post-movie with Dana and Marty surviving somehow, that would be awesome too. | letter | |
| 100indecisions | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Mina (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | I have no interest in incest, but I loved the sibling relationship here and the bits we got of totally ridiculous but, in general, internally consistent worldbuilding. Also, snark, and Hansel and Gretel taking care of each other, and Gretel being badass, and all that good stuff. The one thing that really bothered me was Mina's death, because it was completely unnecessary, and it cheated us out of the general awesomeness of 1) Hansel, Gretel, Edward, AND Mina having adventures together and 2) Mina teaching Gretel how to use her magic because come on, Gretel's also a powerful white witch and we're just not going to do anything with that? So what I'd really like to see is something post-movie with a bit of canon divergence regarding Mina (so then we can have two very different ladies being equally awesome in very different ways and also learning from each other YES PLEASE), although just about anything from Hansel and Gretel's life together would be awesome too. | letter |
| 100indecisions | Fallout: New Vegas | I'm only partway through this game, so I guess anything really spoilery in terms of the main plot would be less than ideal, but I really don't need anything plot-related anyway--I absolutely adore the worldbuilding in the Fallout games, so mostly I'd like to see side stories that capture some part of that. Life in some part of New Vegas. Life in Novac. Humans piecing together new civilizations from the fragments of old ones. Virtually anything about Arcade Gannon, because he's my favorite. Or Veronica, who's also awesome. Someone in the Legion actually growing a conscience and helping some slaves escape or something. Ladies being awesome against the backdrop of the Wasteland, just in general. Various companions interacting with each other, because I have a mod that lets me travel with multiple companions and I love the party thing (like, here and here). | letter | |
| 100indecisions | Star Wars: The Old Republic | I actually haven't finished any of the class storylines, so I guess be careful of major spoilers, but anything that works with the game's worldbuilding and/or side characters would be fantastic, particularly if it involves ladies being awesome, what player companions do when we don't have them summoned (especially if it involves hanging out with each other--I'm only far enough along in any storyline to have met all the companions for the Imperial Agent, for what it's worth, and I love Vector and Lokin being bros; Kaliyo and Vector getting on each other's nerves would be hilarious too--tbh I'd love practically anything with Vector), cosmic-horror-type stuff like some of what we get in the Tatooine side mission "What Czerka Found." | letter | |
| 1shinymess (magpie4shinies) | 2 Guns (2013) | Robert "Bobby" Trench, Michael "Stig" Stigman | I'd like something following the movie with the guys kicking ass, taking names, and growing to really trust and know each other. Platonic friendship or romantic relationship is fine. I love the playful interaction in the movie, so please try and keep that feeling. | |
| 1shinymess (magpie4shinies) | Uncharted | Nathan Drake, Victor Sullivan | Nate realizing how much Sully means to him and trying to hide that because of his abandonment issues. So basically canon, only I want this to be the focus of the story rather than something we get a glimpse of. | |
| 1shinymess (magpie4shinies) | Borderlands | Mordecai (Borderlands) | I love the idea (and what little exists) of Mordecai and Roland as partners and I would like to see more of this explored. Platonic or romantic, gen or smut, I don't mind. | |
| 1shinymess (magpie4shinies) | Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare | Puck (Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare), Oberon (Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare) | Puck is his master's loyal servant...of course! Haha. Ha. Actually, he is. Something exploring the idea that loyalty doesn't always mean obedience, and how that works between them. Platonic, romantic, smut or gen -- it's all fine. |
|
| 24_centuries | American Horror Story: Coven | Queenie (American Horror Story: Coven), Madison Montgomery (American Horror Story: Coven) | I would love to see some backstory between these two. How long have they known each other, how did the animosity come about, anything! : D Do not mind femmeslash at all but not necessary : ) Will be putting up a Dear Yuletide Author letter on LJ in the DYA thread! |
|
| 24_centuries | It - Stephen King | Would love to see more about Turtle & It's relationship but I didn't select any specific characters because unloved everything about this universe so I will literally be happy with ANYthing! Some ideas, if vagueness is irksome : ) Bill from the POV of his parents, before and after George Ben & Beverly, future-fic: how do they deal with the "how did you two meet"? Does it bother them that they can't remember past "childhood friends"? Richie's first few weeks back in CA, before Mike calls Turtle's perspective on ANY of the happenings in Derry from its inception. |
||
| 24_centuries | L.A. Confidential (1997) | Bud White, Ed Exley, Inez Soto | Would love love LOVE me some Bud/Ed : D They were one of my first ships and I love them dearly! Would also love to see an Inez-centric story -- before, after, even during (did she think she would get out? Did she pray daily? Did she lose faith because of what kept happening to her?). Those are just some ideas, would like anything! A combination of the two -- Bud checks up on bad guys so I'm sure he checks up on victims as well. Do Bud & Ed check up on her together (or separately and catch each other at it)? Does she know she's being watched? Again, just throwing stuff out there. Don't feel obligated to use any it these ideas! |
|
| 24_centuries | Titanic (1997) RPF | Leonardo DiCaprio, (Titanic RPF), Kate Winslet (Titanic RPF) | KATE/LEO FOREVAH! Anything. Literally. N. E. THING! :D Set now, back then, future -- I don't care. I just want a thousand words or more about these two lovely people! |
|
| 24_centuries | Mad Men | Stan Rizzo, Peggy Olson | Please please PLEASE Peggy/Stan! I love their relationship so much from the very beginning and I would live to read about the two of them SO much! I love their antagonism and their mutual respect and the friendship that grows and everything! | |
| 39smooth | Mysterious Skin (2005) | Neil McCormick, Brian Lackey | Would totally love an Inception crossover, if possible. But it's still good without. | |
| 39smooth | Watchmen (2009) | Rorschach (Watchmen 2009), Nite Owl (Watchmen 2009), Silk Spectre (Watchmen 2009) | ||
| 39smooth | Pacific Rim (2013) RPF | Charlie Day (Pacific Rim RPF), Burn Gorman (Pacific Rim RPF), Charlie Hunnam (Pacific Rim RPF), Rinko Kikuchi (Pacific Rim RPF) | ||
| 39smooth | Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell | Sonmi~451 (Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell), Adam Ewing (Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell) | ||
| 51stCenturyFox | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Grant Ward, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | I'd love a tropey story with any of these characters - trapped in an ice storm, pretending to be a couple, in any permutation or pairing (with any other characters you like as well.) I love humor and misunderstandings, and mission fics, too. I'm sure I'd enjoy anything you wrote for this show, but classically tropey fanfic would be funtimes. A dark story would be fine, too, though! I'm easy. | letter |
| 51stCenturyFox | Real Genius (1985) | Chris Knight, Jordan Cochran, Mitch Taylor, Jerry Hathaway | I love this movie so, so much. I'd love anything with Chris Knight being...Chris Knight-ish. Does he dream a scheme? Does he wingman for Mitch at a symposium one weekend? Does he give Jordan the sex-ed talk, complete with illustrative pieces of food? Does he visit Jerry Hathaway in jail and bring him a snuggie? He does all of these things, probably. | letter |
| 51stCenturyFox | Political Animals | Thomas "T. J." Hammond, Elaine Barrish, Douglas Hammond, Bud Hammond | T.J. is my favorite character, so anything centering on him would be lovely. What happens after Season 1? Stories where he meets a new love interest or gets back together with a previous one seen in the series are totally great by me. I hope for a happy ending, but it can be bumpy along the way (a rehab story works - maybe he has a sober companion like Sherlock in Elementary...and they fall in love? Or not?) | letter |
| 51stCenturyFox | What's Your Number? (2011) | Colin Shea, Ally Darling | Aaaaaanything. I would love a slice of life story, a first time, an anniversary, fluff, a tropey story, something angsty, or a nutty adventure. Maybe Colin's band takes off and Ally feels a little weird about it, or maybe Ally's sculptures make her famous? Maybe they start a business together? Or take a trip somewhere really unusual? A date story would be incredible. What if they run into one of HIS exes? We know about hers. I'm not really into preg/kid fic though, I have to say. And I don't want them to break up, please! |
letter |
| a tattered rose (atr) | Being Erica | Erica Strange, Tom Wexlar | I do ship Erica/DrT, but I ship them like the writers ship them: as everything, anything, always and forever. Friends, lovers, coworkers, getting past each others defensives or falling apart, missing scenes, AU/other lives, post-finale, convolution of timelines, bantering, bickering, sharing deep emotions and memories or taking elicit peeks into the others life: I just want these two back in MY life, and catch a glimpse of any of the number of things they might be to each other. | letter |
| a tattered rose (atr) | Ripper Street | Emily Reid | I love Emily, and I think she got the short end of the stick in season 1. There's indication she is/was very intelligent, curious, determined, and full of life, and I'd lovelovelove to see some of that given back to her. I do ship her with Edmund, but if she gets to shine I'm not really fussed on that point. | letter |
| a tattered rose (atr) | Smash (TV) | Ivy Lynn | I love Ivy. I'm trying to think of what I want, but really, I just want a story about Ivy. I do ship Ivy/Derek, it's what dragged me into the fandom (completely unexpectedly and literally backwards), but I'm also desperate for, well, Ivy. A scene with her and literally anyone has incredible potential. (With the small coda of I do not believe Karen Is Awesome which, er, yeah.) | letter |
| a tattered rose (atr) | Pushing Daisies | Olive Snook, Ned (Pushing Daisies) | I love Olive. She's awesome, and she can do no wrong. There is a hole in my heart looking for Olive/Ned fic, because I ship them and have all these feels, but if that's not your groove let Olive shine! Her banter with Emerson Cod is GOLD, and I'd love to see her get to go on another case, maybe take the lead, get suspicious. Or a scene about Olive and Ned as friends, early when they met or during or even after the series. | letter |
| a tattered rose (atr) | Orphan Black (TV) | Paul Dierden, Sarah Manning | Orphan Black is just an incredible show (and don't think I didn't recognize Tatiana Maslany from Being Erica XP ) At the end of the day I find myself intrigued by Paul, and particularly his relationship with Sarah. There are a lot of loose ends and contraditions in his character, as with hers, and I'd love anything that explores how they connect - or don't, whether it's looking at their pasts, presents, or future. Or if this totally isn't your thing I love any and all clone-interaction (no explicit clonecest please though)! | letter |
| Aaronlisa | Dark Shadows (1991) | Victoria Winters (Dark Shadows (1991)), Barnabas Collins (Dark Shadows (1991)), Joe Haskell (Dark Shadows (1991)), Julia Hoffman (Dark Shadows (1991)) | Although more details about general preferences will be in my Dear Yuletide Author letter, I'd like to see something that takes place post-series. | letter |
| Aaronlisa | Secret Circle (TV) | Jake Armstrong, Cassie Blake, Adam Conant | Again I'd prefer something post-series but also something dealing with a romantic triangle between these three characters. | letter |
| Aaronlisa | Dollhouse | Echo (Dollhouse), Alpha (Dollhouse) | This is probably one of my favourite fandoms and one that I'd be happy to see anything written for. I'd love to see something involving Echo/Alpha post-series after Echo's spent a year in the Dollhouse but again anything dealing with the apocalypse and the characters would be amazing. | letter |
| Aaronlisa | American Horror Story | Tate Langdon, Violet Harmon | Although I picked Tate and Violet and I do ship the pairing, I'd be okay to see something gen dealing with forgiveness and the evilness of the house. I'd also love to see Constance and Moira in the fic. | letter |
| Aaronlisa | Absolutely Fabulous | Edina Monsoon Patsy Stone Saffron Monsoon | ||
| Aaronlisa | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | I'd love to see a what if scenario about Irene setting things up so that Joan is the one who helps Sherlock out from the start. Failing that, just anything between these three characters. | letter |

| abluegirl | Metropolis Suites - Janelle Monáe | Cindi Mayweather | Things I'd love to see: * Cindi's thoughts about her being a possible Messianic character. * Worldbuilding (with Afrofuturism themes) * Build upon the Android/Human analogy for racial issues in current north american society * Weaponized music Here are some prompts: * The story of what happened happened when the bounty hunters came for Cindi (referenced in March of the Wolfmasters from The Chase) * A story set in the club where the End of the World Cyber Freak Festival is being held, featuring Cindi, Dj Crash Crash, Asada 8550 and Melanie 45221 |
letter |
| abluegirl | SpaceCamp (1986) | Kathryn Fairly | I'd love to read something about Kathryn's character - either a missing scene from the film involving Andie, Tish or Kevin (her love interest); or a fic set after the movie that explores what she did with her life. If you wanted to go the Yuleporn route, you could write a first time fic between Kathryn and Kevin, or between Kathryn and Tish (either is good. or both.) | letter |
| abluegirl | Solar System (Anthropomorfic) | Crack fic, please. Prompts / ideas: * pluto, insulted after being demoted to a dwarf planet, plots to take over the solar system. One of the other planets intervenes. * Mars and Venus in love * the journey of sun-grazing comet ISON |
letter | |
| abluegirl | The Breakfast Club (1985) | * a fic set after the events in the movie, focusing either on Claire and John Bender's romance, or on Claire and Allison's friendship. * John encounters Brian in the men's room, and comes on to him in an effort to unnerve and freak him out, and is surprised when Brian is into it. What starts out as bullying / intimidation turns into hot sex. * If you'd like to write an AU with the characters meeting under different circumstances, that'd be great also. |
letter | |
| abluegirl | Twin Peaks | Audrey Horne | * an AU in which Dale and Audrey strike up a relationship, which is interrupted when something horrible happens (either Dale's worst fears come true and abducted / murdered, or something happens to Dale and Audrey has to rescue him). * Post-series fic in which Audrey survived the explosion at the bank and comes in contact with Dale/Bob Other prompts: * A pre-series story with Audrey and Laura. Perhaps Laura tries to seduce Audrey? * A scene from Audrey's whirlwind romance with John Justice Wheeler. * The Log Lady has something to say to Audrey * What Josie Packard sees and experiences when her soul is trapped in the wood of the Great Northern Hotel. (Doesn't have to be an Audrey story) * Dubcon Audrey / Blackie O'Reilly - when Audrey is "auditioning" to work at One Eyed Jacks, Blackie has her do far more than tie a cherry stem into a knot with her tongue. I'd prefer this to be a BDSM fic with Blackie as a domme, involving bondage, begging, orgasm control and over-stimulation. |
letter |
| abluestocking | Political RPF - US 21st c. | Hillary Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg | I love these two women, full stop. So basically anything you write will make me ridiculously happy. I'm very easy to please. :) Femslash or gen friendship adventures are equally loved; if you want ideas, see my letter (in which I basically squee all over the place). Zombie-fighters! Equal-rights advocates who fall in love while arguing cases before the Supreme Court! Supreme Court justices who transform the bench together! President Hillary being BFFs with Justice Ruth! | letter |
| abluestocking | Jewish Scripture & Legend | Vashti (Megillat Ester) | Why did Vashti refuse to come when Ahaserus sent for her? What was she doing with that banquet of her own — was it a political ploy? What happened to her after she was deposed? What did she think of Ahaserus gathering all the beautiful virgins in the land to look for her replacement? I'd love to see anything you wanted to write about Vashti and her choices. (More thoughts in my letter about this.) Or, if the melancholiness of her story isn't your cup of tea, I'd enjoy her meeting up with other similar heroines - perhaps rewriting their stories to be less about jerkface men and more about themselves? ;) | letter |
| abluestocking | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | The Dowager Duchess | I love the Dowager Duchess, I just do. Like, ridiculously much. So this request is pretty simple. More Dowager Duchess! Maybe you want to write a canon event retold from her unique perspective, or a missing scene, or her with her grandchildren. Maybe you want to write her as a younger woman, having adventures and reminding the reader of her talented son a bit. Maybe you want to write her late-in-life romance with Miss Climpson. Maybe you want to write a quiet scene between her and Bunter during the Difficult Bit of Peter's recovery. Whatever you want to write, it's all good! I will be excited! Because she is simply wonderful (and so are you, for offering to write her). (A few more ideas in my letter.) |
letter |
| abluestocking | Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis | Binnie Hodbin, Merope Ward, Polly Churchill | Binnie is a terror of a child who loses her mother and has to protect her little brother in the middle of the London Blitz. Eileen (Merope) and Polly are time-travelling historians who are stuck in the Blitz and frantically trying to find a way home. Together, they're a trio of amazing, complex, flawed and fascinating characters who find friendship and family in the middle of fear and loss. What kind of fic am I looking for about them? I have some ideas about missing scenes and alternate POVs (uh, make that "a lot” of ideas, because I love this fandom — see my letter for more details), but primarily I'm hoping for a fic that focuses on their characters and on their relationships with each other. You can't go wrong focusing on the three of them. :) | letter |
| abriata | Hemlock Grove | Roman Godfrey, Peter Rumancek | o this show is messed up on many, many levels, and it doesn't even always make sense. I like it anyway, so feel free to be completely weird or outrageous or, in a refreshing turn of events, try to make absolutely everything make sense always! I would like pretty much anything - plotty fic, world building, canon-based AUs. Please don't give me a complete AU, but if you want to change the timeline, or things during the series progression, or the ending, that's all cool! I would like some focus on Peter and Roman's relationship; shipping is great, as is friendship fic, or maybe Roman failing to see where the lines are between normal friendship and not-normal, since he has no friends. I am okay with porn, though I would prefer some sort of plot, even if it's just something of the shipping variety. Anything but straight PWP, basically. I do not read character death. I will only read non-con in very special circumstances; of course, mention of it in regards to Roman's past assholery is understandable. I am perfectly okay with dub-con and pretty much any other kink besides outright rape or molestation. There may be more details in my YT letter! If it's not up yet, it should be very soon! |
letter |
| abriata | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary) | Het fic! Shipping, I mean it. This may be the lazy route but I ship Joan/Sherlock in this iteration more than in every other Sherlock adaptation ever, and I am including Sherlock (TV) in that. I want friendship and romance and schmoop and running-arounds and h/c and porn and future!fic and canon fic and every fic ever, basically. Seriously, make it happy and focus on Joan as much as Sherlock and I am <3. It's that easy. There may be more details in my YT letter. It's less likely there are more specific prompts for this fandom, because see above re: <3, but there may be! My letter will be at my journal now or very soon! |
letter |
| abriata | Gladiator (2000) | Maximus Decimus Meridius, Emperor Commodus (Gladiator) | Okay, so, shipping. Lots and lots of shipping here, for me. I would like any sort of AU or alternate ending to the movie where they both don't die! For AUs, I think a different historical setting could be fun; it might be interesting to see them as post-Roman-Empire pirates, or pre-Roman-Empire Greek love story, or anything, really. I would prefer something slightly less angsty than the movie, just because almost all of the (limited) fic for this pairing is sad. :( I would also love some sort of reincarnation fic; people always do it with Arthurian legends, so I think it would be cool to do that same sort of idea of not-quite-dying/coming back. There are going to be more details in my YT letter! If it's not up yet, it should be very soon! I have some expanded ideas, mostly upon the prompts listed above. |
letter |
| abriata | Haven | Audrey Parker, Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos | When I was trying to think of a things to put here, this is what I said to a friend: "My request: make Nathan less of a moron and also I bet he'd say less irritating things if his mouth was busy, if you know what I mean. Audrey and Duke are awesome but Audrey should not ever, ever be called Lexi. THREESOMES ARE WIN. Haven is cray-cray and that's fun! There are some characters I would rather see die, preferably repeatedly in a groundhog-day-esque episode than have them stick around, such as: Jordan, Jordan, and Jordan." This should not be taken as gospel, but it sums of some of my more violent feelings! I love Audrey, Duke and Nathan! (Yes, even Nathan! He just SAYS THINGS SOMETIMES and I'm like UGH NO.) THREESOMES ARE LOVE. Um, I love all the Troubles, and the fact that you can come up with anything and it can be a Trouble. You could even write fic where someone has a Trouble with Tribbles! Yes, I went there. But no, that's not actually that high on my list of requests. I really don't like Jordan; not in a character-bashing way, I was just really disappointed in what they did with her, especially this season, so unless you're going to reform her character and make her less evil-effective and more geniune-person, I'd prefer she get left out. I love Vince and Dave! If you wanted to have a story told from their point of view, I would be 100% happy with that, too. Please no permanent character death, non-con, etc. There may be more details in my YT letter! If it's not up yet, it should be very soon! |
letter |
| abriata | Real Genius (1985) | Chris Knight, Mitch Taylor | Okay, I'm gonna be honest, I picked this movie because I needed one more fandom and it's one of my favorite movie and I've read all the fic on the archive for it. That said, I don't know what I actually want! Shenanigans? Shipping? Future fic? Mitch and Jordan have babies and Chris is the favorite uncle? I don't know! Surprise me! I like happy things and silly things, and ridiculous fits this fandom better than any other, so if you really do want to write crack fic or fic about Tribbles, that's fair game! No, really: Tribbles on the Pacific Tech would be the funniest thing ever. I also love the character growth they all show, and I mean everyone - you can include Kent, Jerry, anyone! I adore Chris's handling of Grown Up Problems TM and his friendship with Mitch; shipping is A-okay but, as I think is evidence by all the rambling up to this point, absolutely not required. Just have fun! If it makes you laugh, it'll make me laugh, and that's just about the best thing you can get out of any fandom, ever. More details in my YT letter! If it's not up yet, it should be very soon! |

| abstractconcept | Mairelon the Magician - Patricia Wrede | Richard Merrill, Kim Merrill | ) I'd love to see a fic where a guy from Kim's past shows up and makes Richard/Mairelon jealous. I'd like either for Kim to have an adventure with someone else or for Richard/Mairelon to find out about a time she did something cool in the past. b) Genderswitch!Kim. "You make a very pretty boy." Fic where Kim is and was always male! If you have Kim end up dressing as female just so society will accept Kim with Richard, that works for me. c)If you want to include Andrew and want to do gen, I'd really like a fic where Andrew comes to like and accept Kim as family. If Kim convinces Andrew to do something a little out-of-character for him, drags him along on a little adventure or something, and discovers he's not as stiff and proper as he likes to project. Just something where they bond a little. All the better if Richard finds they're getting along and is just a little confused as to how that happened--I really like the idea of Kim knowing something about Andrew that Richard doesn't know. d) (dang it, I keep coming up with more ideas) Fic where Richard/Mairelon is the fish-out-of-water and has to rely on Kim's street-smarts and connections and gets to see her being bad-ass, take charge, clever and/or sneaky. :) I also have more thoughts in my Dear Author letter, if you care to read them. I just don't want to overwhelm anyone with My Feelings on this book. Stuff I do NOT want for Yuletide (though I may love it in other contexts, these are things I'm not into for Yuletide): character death of any of the main or shipped characters, BDSM, vomit or scatplay, actual infidelity (I would LOVE some jealousy but would prefer it be unfounded) unhappy endings, rape, A/B/O, darkfic/grimdark, torture, threesomes/moresomes, spanking, zombies, pegging, and I'm not USUALLY into genderbending as a whole, but I wouldn't mind seeing Kim genderbent. |
letter |
| abstractconcept | The Defiant Ones (1958) | Noah Cullen, John Jackson | I ship them like burning, so I'd love Joker(John)/Cullen. In prison, out of prison, I just want to see their relationship develop more. I want to see their first kiss. I want to see hesitancy and tension and desire and utter devotion to each other. I just want to see them simmer . . . like maybe they're back in prison together and know they can't act on their feelings because they have no privacy, but the minute they're both released, it's on like Donkey Kong. So, you know, long, lingering looks, UST, touches that mean more than observers realize, fierce protectiveness, any of that. Or they're fighting and the fight turns into kissing. Oh, and if you don't want to slash them, just have a very powerful friendship. I'd love to see them still fighting for each other, taking care of each other, and that sort of thing. See my Dear Author letter if you'd like futher thoughts or prompts. And if you have your own ideas, that's fine, too! Stuff I do NOT want for Yuletide (though I may love it in other contexts, these are things I'm not into for these fics): character death of any of the shipped characters, BDSM, vomit or scatplay, actual infidelity (I would LOVE some jealousy but would prefer it be unfounded) unhappy endings, rape, A/B/O, darkfic/grimdark, torture, threesomes/moresomes, spanking, zombies, pegging, and I'm not int genderbending for this fandom. |
letter |
| abstractconcept | Bottle Shock (2008) | Steven Spurrier, Maurice Cantavale | My head!canon is that Steven Spurrier and Maurice Cantavale are lovers. I guess they just banter like an old married couple to me. So anything that plays on that banter is great. Also, the way Steven says 'Maurice' sounds like love to me. a) You could have them showing Bo around France or introducing him to people if you like. It would be really funny if they were trying to hide the fact that they were together, but in the end they discover not only did he know, but he thought it was really obvious and didn't even realize they were trying to hide it. Like with any couple that's been together a long time and they just have habits. b) or I'd love to see them going out to dinner together, especially if they're critiquing the wine. If you want to get a little racy that's great too. They're in the most romantic city in the world, so you could play on that! c) Or, since they've obviously known each other long enough that Maurice takes for granted that he can just come in whenever he wants and help himself to Steven's wine, maybe something about them taking each other for granted and then rediscovering romance. d) You could do something about the first time they met, or have them take a road trip, or whatever! I just like Steven's dry wit and Maurice being sarcastic and totally unruffled, no matter how sniffy or rude Steven is. I love how comfortable they are around each other. But yeah, anything with the two of them hanging out; I'd love it! I just want more of the dry Brit and the loud American and their funky Parisian life. Please see my Dear Author letter if you'd like further thoughts or prompts, but if you have your own ideas, please feel free to go with those! Stuff I do NOT want for Yuletide (though I may love it in other contexts, these are things I'm not into for these fics): character death of any of the shipped characters, BDSM, vomit or scatplay, actual infidelity (I would LOVE some jealousy but would prefer it be unfounded) unhappy endings, rape, A/B/O, darkfic/grimdark, torture, threesomes/moresomes, spanking, zombies, pegging, and I'm not into genderbending for Steven or Maurice. |

| abstractconcept | GetBackers | Midou Ban, Amano Ginji | ee my letter if you'd like further thoughts or prompts, but in general, I would love Ban/Ginji fic. I'd love to see more of their strong relationship and how they're always there for each other and can feel each other and even when they fight, they know they have each other's backs. I'd like some hurt/comfort with one of them being hurt in a fight and the other unable to arrive until almost too late. Or some jealousy. Or something with Ban/Thunder Emperor, to give it some edge. Like above, it could be a fight that turns into something else. Ooooooh, or you could write fic based on one of the official artists's slashy pics (links in my letter). Or if you don't want to ship them, I'd like to see them on your typical (or atypical!) retrieval, or goofing off or getting into trouble. Or having some kind of celebration; I love to see them have down time. Basically, I love anything with the two of them. And if you have your own ideas, feel free to go with those! Stuff I do NOT want for Yuletide (though I may love it in other contexts, these are things I'm not into for these fics): character death of any of the shipped characters, BDSM, vomit or scatplay, actual infidelity (I would LOVE some jealousy but would prefer it be unfounded) unhappy endings, rape, A/B/O, darkfic/grimdark, torture, threesomes/moresomes, spanking, zombies, pegging, and I'm not into genderbending for Ban or Ginji. |

| acaramelmacchiato | Don Carlos | Don Carlo - Verdi/du Locle/Méry | Rodrigue | Rodrigo, Carlos | Carlo | Literally the only thing I want on the planet is Rodrigo and Carlo (or Rodrigue and Carlos! I am not picky, I prefer the Italian libretto because ferruccio furlanetto is my entire life) fic. Pants can be on, or off, or they can be puffball shorts. Schiller can be involved, or not, to your taste. I hope this is the chance to write the opera fic of your dreams and have me slobber all over it? | letter |
| acaramelmacchiato | Евгений Онегин |Евгений Онегин | Eugene Onegin - Aleksandr Pushkin | Eugene Onegin, Vladimir Lensky | Again dear YT author you can go absolutely nuts with this. Pushkin, Tchaikovsky, both, either, pantsless in the snow or pantsed indoors. | letter |
| acaramelmacchiato | Romeo And Juliet - Shakespeare | Mercutio, Benvolio Montague, Romeo Montague (Romeo and Juliet - Shakespeare), Rosaline (Romeo and Juliet) | I think the one thing I want most in the entire world out of shakesfic is pre-canon marginal level of peace with the Montague Bros and Mercutio and Rosaline. | letter |
| acaramelmacchiato | Rómeó és Júlia (Színház) | Tybalt (Rómeó és Júlia), Mercutio (Rómeó és Júlia) | As always I am wretchedly interested in pre-canon -- R es J plays up a sort of Obvious History Here relationship between these guys that I would love to see more of. Write the fic of your dreams! I love all the characters here equally so anyone else you like is of course welcome. | letter |
| acchikocchi | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | Tenzing Tharkay | In the wake of Blood of Tyrants I am comically desperate for Laurence/Tharkay. Having said that, Tenzing Tharkay has been my favorite character since his appearance and I would be all too delighted for any piece about him, gen or otherwise. Other Temeraire angles I would love: further exploration of the all-too-briefly-visited Japanese milieu, whether the characters (Kiyo was yr classic single oneesan amirite) or society/history at large -- feel free to speculate on the end of sakoku, or even further into the future. Very relatedly, I would love to read any takes on Junichiro and his mindset/his future. |
letter |
| acchikocchi | Juuni Kokki | Twelve Kingdoms | Shouryuu (Juuni Kokki), Enki (Twelve Kingdoms) | l ship it, so if you want to go that angle by all means, but I also find their perspective on the 12K world really interesting, seeing as much as they have. Would be delighted to see the ShouRoku view of Kei or Tai or country of your choice and their ruler/kirin relationships. Or some of their misadventures from the preceding 200 years, or a look at the very beginning of their association, or... | letter |
| acchikocchi | Wolf Hall Series - Hilary Mantel | Thomas Cromwell (Wolf Hall) | Mantel's take on Cromwell fascinates me, and I would be so interested to see further exploration of his complicated relationship with Gregory, or his past in Europe, or really anything. (and a very tiny guilty part of me wishes for Cromwell/Rafe Sadler. Um. If you felt like it.) Alternatively, a look inside Jane Seymour's head would be very very welcome. |
letter |
| acchikocchi | The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner | Relius (Queen's Thief) | As Relius is, again, my favorite, I would be thrilled to read more about him in any context: his past, his relationship with the queen, his relationship with Teleus. Especially his relationship with Teleus. (If you're amenable to slash, I ship it very hard, but their solid friendship is also more than enough.) Alternatively, I really enjoyed Costis' point of view in The King of Attolia and I'm pretty sure it wasn't just me who saw Costis/Aris... right? |

| acrossthefloors | Love! Valour! Compassion! - McNally | John Jeckyll (McNally) | I'd really love to see some fic about John, either post-canon (how hard did he really try to change? Did he ever come close to succeeding?) or backstory (how did his relationship to James develop as they got older? How did he establish himself in America?). Gen or shipping both work perfectly fine for me -- fic about his relationship with Buzz would suit me just as well as fic about him trying to write the perfect musical and hoping that maybe this time it'll work out. | letter |
| acrossthefloors | Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena | Arisugawa Juri | It's so hard to pick a favourite from Utena, but Juri was definitely among them, and I'd love to see some fic dealing with her self-image as a strong, steadfast, mature girl, and the ways in which that self-image is hard for her to uphold. This is quite a broad prompt, I know, and I really don't mind whether it's set during or after canon, or whether it develops into shipping or not. However, while I am a very flexible shipper and could happily read about Juri/Utena, Juri/Nanami, Juri/Shiori or Juri/most of her peers, Ruka's behaviour towards Juri makes me very uncomfortable, and I'd much prefer not to read an uncritically romantic fic about them. | letter |
| acrossthefloors | Jolene (Song) - Dolly Parton | Jolene (Jolene - Dolly Parton (Song)), Narrator (Jolene - Dolly Parton (Song)) | My needs on this count are simple: I would like fic where Jolene and the song's narrator get together. Whether or not the Man is included in this relationship is optional. I appreciate poly relationships that are well-negotiated, but I also have a fondness for this-is-a-terrible-idea one-time-only threesomes, so follow your heart on that one; all I ask is that the narrator and Jolene be the focus. Characterise the narrator however you like! | letter |
| acrossthefloors | Slings & Arrows | Geoffrey Tennant, Ellen Fanshaw, Oliver Welles | Ideally, I would really love to read the fic about their poorly-negotiated, poorly-thought-through and thoroughly inebriated relationship. In practice, I would be delighted to read any backstory fic about these three, from their glory days at the beginning of their professional relationship or from their increasingly fraught and wholly ill-fated production of Hamlet. | letter |
| acrossthefloors | Erekos - A.M. Tuomala | Jeiger Staag, Erlen Eppeim | Any kind of fic featuring these two would be a delight -- pre-canon, canon-compliant missing scenes, whatever you like -- but since I read Jeiger as asexual, I'd be interested in fic dealing with what asexual sensuality could look like within an established relationship. What might intimacy look like, for these two? As mentioned, though, if that's not your bag, I'd just love to see any fic about them, whether they're hunting together or working together or sharing stories of their respective homes. | letter |

| Aderam | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | I would love a story about them being badass siblings together! Bonus Points for: - Gretel saving the day - Anything about Hansel's diabetes - Witty Banter - And Edward being around When I finished the movie I wanted a Punk Rock Band AU. I still think that would be cool (Ben is clearly a groupie). But I also would love a canon story about them fighting witches. Please no Incest. |

| Aderam | Blood Books - Tanya Huff | Colin Heerkens, Barry Wu, Uncle Stuart (Blood Books) | Blood Trail is my favourite book in this series. I love the Werewolves! And I'd love a story that talks more about the pack/family. And Colin in particular because he seems so different from the other wer. What made him decide to be a cop? How did the family (Uncle Stuart esp) react? What's his relationship with Barry? (Both before and after he found out about the wer.) Either slash (Colin/Barry) or gen. Vicki and Henry are more than welcome in the story. But most importantly: WEREWOLVES! |
letter |
| Aderam | Swallows and Amazons - Arthur Ransome | Peggy Blackett, Nancy Blackett, Titty Walker | I want a story about Peggy.

About sisters and friends. Gen please. |

| aedh | Flight rising (video game) | Basically I would like anything about the dragons or about the worlds. Baby dragons exploring the world would be delightful. Dragon games, or customs. Expanding on the brief text we get on the wiki for each of the breeds perhaps? Something about one of the holidays would be great. I like adventure stories, so, if that was something you felt like doing that would be lovely. If you'd like to write about Crim and her collecting tendencies that would be great. I'm very fond of skydancers but I like all of the breeds, so anything set in that world which features dragons and I'll be over the moon. | ||
| aedh | Kraken - China Mieville | Dane Parnell, Wati (Kraken) | You know what I like about Kraken? Cults and Science! and it being a love letter to London. If you could focus on the cult of squid or in fact any of the other end of the world cults I'll be so pleased. How do they operate? talk to me about their prophecies and how they announce it's really seriously the end of the world this time? Dane going through training? Or Wati, more Wati! A lot of what fascinates me about Wati is his relationship to his bodies, what's it like moving like that, what has he seen? Conversations between Wati and Dane maybe? Wati well before the events of the book in another city maybe? How'd he get involved with the union? Wati and fellow union members down at the pub? |
|
| aedh | Fallen London | Echo Bazaar | The King with a Hundred Hearts, Manager of the Royal Bethlehem Hotel | I find both of these characters fascinating, so anything about either of them or them together is golden. For the king: What's it like being the kind of Polythreme? does the king have any relationship to their subject that bear pieces of them? A day out and about in Polythreme would be great, or anything that touches on the King and their city. I'm really fond of Polythreme as both a setting and an idea. How about the Manager of the hotel, what are some of the strangest guests he's ever catered for? Why does he wander around Fallen London in the mist? What's his relationship to the soul-trade? If you want to do something set inside the Royal Bethlethem and its secrets also awesome. If you know them both anything about pre-fall King/Manager would be great, during the fall or current day and anything exploring the relationships they have with one another. How this relates to the masters of the bazaar is one possible option among many excellent ones. |
|
| aedh | Shadow Man - Melissa Scott | I'd be so happy with any of these characters either in combo or together. Seeing any of these characters interacting with their world would be great. If you feel like writing a fic about the trade that would be great. Haliday's day in court perhaps? Or the events leading up to it? Haliday and Warreven lawyery hi-jinks? For Warreven I'd prefer post-transition fix if possible, if that even entirely makes sense in context. Perhaps, post book fic would be great and adapting to a society operating under very different rules? I see Warreven as a pivot point so an exploration of their relationship to any of the other characters would be great. I'm very fond of their enthusiasm for life and their determination, so if you wanted to go down the missed scenes or a wacky adventure, that would be much appreciated. Can you see your way into Tendlathe's head? Are the rumours true? What does he do after the end of the book? If you could do something with his relationship with Warreven that would be great. We don't see a lot of Folhare, what is life like for them? If you felt expanding on their relationship with Warreven, what they get up to together, that would be lovely. Or them doing their thing. |

| aerowyn | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf RPF), Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf RPF) | Hobrien! I love Hobrien! I would love a real life fic, an AU, anything! They are just so cute and dorky. I'd love to see them in any sort of AU scenario (any decade, historical, future, alien, baseball, soccer (no american football or basketball please), office, etc). I would prefer no college or coffee shop AUs because there are already so many in the combined Teen Wolf fandoms. I love board games or nights out and clubbing or fic set during cons. Just have fun! | letter |
| aerowyn | Arrow (TV 2012) | Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV), Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Thea Queen (Arrow TV), Roy Harper (Arrow TV) | I love Oliver/Felicity! They have so much chemistry and are amazing together. I'd love something set in current show time that explores their awesome and intense relationship. Plus they are super flirty and she is totally geeky. I love them! Thea and Roy are so cute! I love how they have helped each other become better people because of each other. He is so interesting and I can't wait to see where he goes this season! |
letter |

I'd love to see their relationship explode and they finally give in to their sexual tension. I think there is also an interesting love/hate friendship between them too that would be interesting to explore. Gene and Melfina are so cute! I'd love to see something post-show that would show where they ended up after we see them! |
letter |
| aerowyn | Boardwalk Empire | Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky | I love Luciano and Meyer. Their relationship is so fun and charged. Plus, what is better than gangsters? I want show based fic, not post show/cuba historical RPF. There is so much left out of the show that there is so much there to explore and fill in. New York boys for the win! | letter |
| aerowyn | The Maze Runner Series - James Dashner | Thomas (Maze Runner), Minho (Maze Runner), Newt (Maze Runner) | I love this book! I really want a Maze Runner fic, not the others. I would love some scenes of them in the Glade. Thomas is my fav character and I'd love to see him with either of these guys. He has such an interesting relationship with both of them. If you're feeling adventurous, you can write a threesome! Newt is so sarcastic and Minho is a smartass, but they are both so strong. They are in such an intense situation and anything that explores that would be awesome! | letter |

| afrikate | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Jennifer Mills, Captain Frank Irving | Here, I would love some gen fic and NOT Abbie/Ichabod. Please, no. What would work for me are any of the following: the Mills sisters trying to work out their issues; Ichabod quietly grieving for his old life, and Abbie supporting him; Abbie and Ichabod snarking back and forth at each other; Captain Irving being kind of shady and also deeply competent. In fact, competency kink for everyone! Basically, give me some gen fic that explores these characters a bit more. | letter |
| afrikate | Haven | Audrey Parker, Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos | My first request here is for the OT3 ship, with or without porn. I would love to see an exploration of Audrey, Duke, and Nathan in a relationship--how that would work for them, where they would have to compromise and where one or the other feels the need to hold their ground. If threesome isn't something you can do, then I'd prefer gen, with friendship and some kind of case!fic aspect. One of the things I really enjoy about Haven is how much Duke and Audrey are trying to figure themselves out. Something that plays on that would be welcome. | |
| afrikate | Mrs. Pollifax - Dorothy Gilman | I love Mrs. Pollifax and how she sees the world, particularly her need to find the good in all people and the humor in nearly every situation. I also adore how Bishop and Carstairs continue to be baffled by her while also respecting her ability to pull a rabbit out of her hat no matter what. So, anything that has that kind of dynamic would be lovely. | ||
| afrikate | The Montmaray Journals - Michelle Cooper | One of the wonderful things about this series is the awesome ladies. Another, is that it doesn't flinch from homosexual and poly relationships, despite the time period, and even though Sophie, the pov character, doesn't completely understand. I would really love to see how Simon, Toby, and Julia negotiate the poly relationship they develop; or see Sophie's quiet realizations, in her journal, of what's happening between the three of them. | ||
| afterism | Bedazzled (1967) | George Spiggott, Stanley Moon | I would be genuinely delighted with anything for this film! It could be something post-canon, with Stanley moving on with his life and George continuing to be constantly, casually chaotic (or maybe the other way around), or maybe a slight AU where Stanley wishes for something else and/or George interprets his wishes differently, or honestly whatever you want. Anything in the spirit of the film would be perfect. | letter |
| afterism | Guns For Hire (Movie Concept) | Lucy Liu's Character, Gina Torres's Character | I would be thrilled with anything! There's no particular plot beyond Lucy Liu playing the hard-bitten detective and Gina Torres as a fierce femme fatale, so what actually happens, plot details, names, and noir cliches are entirely in your hands. I'd love to see scenes from the movie, or you could treat it like you're writing about a film that actually exists and do codas or this-is-how-this-scene-should-have-gone-down. Femslash would be awesome if you want to include it, and I'd be happy to see it anywhere from snarky banter and flirting to a total PWP. | letter |
| afterism | BioShock Infinite | Rosalind Lutece, Robert Lutece | I would love something that plays with the possibilities of reality jumping and time travel and probable immortality: they obviously have some control over where they appear, but how far can they go and what do they see in all the possible probabilities? I especially love how they have this immense power and beyond fixing what they did to Elizabeth they mainly use it to have fun and do sibling-y things and mess with Booker's head, so I would happily read about them doing nothing but bantering their way through time and space. But! If that's not your thing, I would be just as pleased with more backstory on both of them, especially anything that explores the differences between them and how they see the world (the line "Where he sees an empty page, I see King Lear" sums up so much about what I love about these two), or something along the lines of the constancy of music and Rosalind fixing Robert after he came through the tear. I do ship it, if you want to include anything between them, but it's not a requirement! |
letter |
| afterism | Peaky Blinders (TV) | Tommy Shelby, Freddie Thorne | Tommy and Freddie's dynamic delights me on so many levels, and I'd love to see more of it. Tommy/Freddie would be perfect but I'm just as invested in the rise and fall of their friendship, so please write whatever you're comfortable with. I would be thrilled with anything that explored their relationship at any point from being best friends growing up to serving together during the war to pointing a gun at each other almost every time they meet, and I'd love to read about what caused them to fall apart so thoroughly. I also love how Freddie is one of the few people who isn't scared of the Peaky Blinders, so exploring that could be wonderful. | letter |
| Age or Wizardry (ageorwizardry) | We Haven't Got There Yet - Harry Turtledove | William Shakespeare (We Haven't Got There Yet - Harry Turtledove) | hakespeare + time traveling players = AWESOME. I don't have a specific story in mind for this; any possibility you care to explore should be interesting! What did Shakespeare turn out to think of Waiting for Godot? Which other plays do the time-traveling theatre troupe choose to perform? What becomes of them—do they get to go home eventually, or do they stay in Shakespeare's London? Does Shakespeare become involved in their troupe in any way, and/or does their work have any influence on his own? What if Shakespeare wound up visiting them in their future? As you may be able to tell, while Shakespeare is the only character I nominated, I don't at all mind if your focus is elsewhere: on the time-traveling theatre troupe themselves, on the situation in general: you have a free hand! Source availability: I have included a link to the complete short story online in my Yuletide Letter. |

| Age or Wizardry (ageorwizardry) | The Artist (2011) | George Valentin, Peppy Miller | I have a great love for platonic relationships between men and women in my media, which I don't get nearly enough of; one thing I really appreciate about this movie is that, while the relationship between George Valentin and Peppy Miller can easily be read as romantic, the movie doesn't force that reading. (See also: reasons I <3 Pacific Rim!) So what I would like is the story of the great platonic friendship of George Valentin and Peppy Miller! Either during or after the movie is fine—in fact, some nice hurt/comfort-iness around Peppy providing George with a safe haven when everything goes so badly for him would be right up my street (although don't feel at all obliged if it isn't up yours!). I just want to see them recognizing how important they are to each other without that importance being based on romantic or sexual attraction. While I can understand that, depending on their personalities or past experience, they might have to do some figuring out that the bond between them isn't romantic/sexual, I would really prefer that that kind of "will-they-or-won't-they" romantic tension not be the focus of the story. |

| Age or Wizardry (ageorwizardry) | Mr. Fox - Frankie Armstrong (song) | Mary (Mr. Fox (song)), Mr. Fox (Mr. Fox (song)) | The wall is high... Augh, this song. The isolation, the fear, the rising tension, how the ending is left unresolved... I mean. You know what has to happen, after the end of the song. But we don't actually see it happen, so maybe not..? This song captivates me. The fine depiction of how Mary is made subject to a cruel and capricious power makes me feel for the terrible situation she's put in, makes me feel trapped right along with her. Obviously I'm interested in the darker themes and emotions involved in the song—still, while a certain degree of bleakness, danger, despair, and other unpleasant things would clearly be appropriate for this source, I do prefer stories that are not absolutely hopeless. What can be salvaged from Mary's situation; how can the ending it seems her story must have be changed? I confess, I have a hard time seeing a way to an unambiguously happy ending from here, but if you do, go for it. I would certainly be satisfied with an ending with more mixed emotions, as well. I love remixes and retellings of fairy tales, so if you'd like to bring in elements from any other fairy tales/folk tales/folk songs, that would be very cool. (Some singers include an optional extra verse at the end, which I hate; I will include a (probably too-lengthy) section in my Yuletide Letter about why. For now, though, just know that this singer does not, so if you're working from this version of the song you should be fine.) Source availability: I have included a download link to this version of the song in my Yuletide Letter. |

| Age or Wizardry (ageorwizardry) | Geordie (Child 209) - Anaïs Mitchell & Jefferson Hamer (song) | A fair pretty maid (Geordie (Child 209) - Anaïs Mitchell & Jefferson Hamer (song)), Geordie (Geordie (Child 209) - Anaïs Mitchell & Jefferson Hamer (song)), The judge (Geordie (Child 209) - Anaïs Mitchell & Jefferson Hamer (song)) | By the time I got to the end of this song, I was all prepared for an installment of Swordfighting Women in History: Even More Awesome Than You Could Have Imagined! And then the song just ended! I didn't get to see this awesome brave tenacious lady challenge this judge to a duel and fight him after all, and it was just—why? Why would you miss an opportunity like that? A pregnant lady dueling a judge FOR JUSTICE. It would be awesome! So, obviously I would enjoy an exploration of that scenario, but there are any number of other interesting threads here, too. I'd love to know more about the background of this lady and her Geordie. It certainly seems to me like she can back up her words about fighting with a broadsword and a pistol—how'd she get those skills, and how has she used them in the past? What about the history of how she and Geordie came together and made their family together? If Geordie is hunting the king's deer to feed his family, they clearly have fallen into some misfortune, if they weren't always poor—what happened there? I also can't get over the dynamic between the "fair pretty maid" and the judge—at first he says "I'm sorry for thee," but if you believe it then what can you make of "he'll be laid in a coffin brave / for your six fine sons to carry." HOW IS THAT A THING YOU SAY TO HUMAN BEINGS. Is he just a callous asshole, or is something else going on there? TL;DR summary: anything you'd like to explore about what's happening here—or things we don't see happening in the song—I'd be interested in seeing. Go wild. :-) Source availability: I have included a link to a youtube video of the song being performed in my Yuletide Letter. |

| Agnes_Bean | Deadwood | Al Swearengen | Anything with Al goes! I just find him endlessly fascinating, and want to see more of him, whether that's in post-canon fic that continues the story, pre-canon backstory, introspective character piece, or even ship fic. I love seeing him interact with all sorts of characters in the camp, though special favorites include Bullock, Alma, Dan and Adams, and Sol and Trixie. Biggest ships are Al/Alma and Al/Bullock, but I'm happy to see him shipped with anyone but Joanie or Jane. Check out my letter, linked above, for more info. But seriously, just give me more Al, and I'll be happy. |
letter |
| Agnes_Bean | The Mindy Project | Mindy Lahiri, Danny Castellano | I'd adore some Mindy/Danny fic, but friendship fic (esp. if there's a hint of UST like in canon) is good, too! In general I'd love anything that sticks to the humorous tone of the canon. Fic that plays off romcom/shipfic tropes (someone gets hurt and the other comforts! Fake boyfriend/girlfriend! Being forced to share a room! Etc.) would be fantastic. I also love the entire group and would love wacky group adventures. See my letter, linked above, for more details. But in general, I just want anything fun you can think of with Mindy and Danny, and anyone else from the cast you want to throw in there. |
letter |
| Agnes_Bean | Skins (UK) | My letter has a lot more thoughts and details, but overall, I just adore this canon and all of these characters with my entire heart, and want to see more of them. Feel free to use whichever characters, nominated or not. I'd love missing scenes, or fic about what happened before or after canon (and feel free to use or ignore Series 7 as you see fit). If you want more specifics: -- Fave ships: Effy/Cook, Chris/Jal, Tony/Maxxie, Thomas/Katie, and Emily/Naomi. -- Fave friendships (and I also love the big group dynamics!): Tony-Sid, Chris-Cassie, Tony-Maxxie (esp. during Tony's recovery), Effy-Panda, Thomas-Katie, Naomi-Cook (loooove this one), Emily-JJ, Chris-Anwar, and, of course, Cook-Freddie-JJ -- I also adore the Tony/Effy relationship a LOT. See my letter, linked above, for more! |
letter | |
| Agnes_Bean | Spirited | Suzy Darling, Henry Mallet | I'd adore some ship fic of these two. More than anything I want to see them get a happy ending, somehow, though I'd also be more than thrilled with missing scenes, smut, or something more bittersweet. If you'd prefer gen, I'd also love an exploration of Henry's relationship with Elvis, or either of their back stories. I have a lot more specific thoughts and prompts in my letter, linked above, but really, anything that explores this relationship will make me happy. Please, nothing TOO sad. |
letter |
| Agnes_Bean | Virtuality (TV 2009) | My letter, linked above, has more thoughts and feelings, but the long and short of it is I just want more. This canon has SO many interesting ideas and characters, and I want you to explore whatever element if it catches your interesting the most. | letter | |
| Ahavah | Being Human (US/Canada) | James Bishop | Again, I love the world and all of the characters, so feel free to incorporate whomever you'd like, but I chose Bishop as my one and only character request since I feel we didn't see enough of him. As I mentioned, I love intriguing villains. I'd love to learn more about Bishop. What was his life like before he was turned? Was it his choice or something he just decided to make the best of? Why did he decide to turn Aiden? What other jobs did he have in the past besides policeman-cleanup? AU — how would he have handled the virus given that he wanted to build a vamp army? | letter |
| Ahavah | Kushiel's Legacy - Jacqueline Carey | Imriel de la Courcel, Mavros Shahrizai, Amarante of Namarre, Phedre no Delaunay | I love Imri/Mavros interactions. I ♥ Mavros. A deeper look into House Shahrizai would be fantastic, as would further exploration of their canon visits to all Night Court Houses. I would also really love to see something from Amarante's year of Service to Naamah before becoming an official priestess. Bonus if it includes spiritual aspects &/or Mavros fun. Phèdre with any of her patrons is always a fun read, especially if it's older-Phèdre. Phèdre exploring the spiritual aspects of some other Companions besides just Kushiel and Naamah would be interesting too. She's had so many experiences with other deities from so many cultures. Does this continue/strengthen after she gets the name of God in her head? How does a first-hand experience with Cassiel resonate with her as opposed to vicariously through Joscelin? What would an experience with Eisheth/Anael/Camael/etc. be like for her? On a lighter note though, an AU where she and Hyacinthe fulfill their childhood dream would be a whole lot of fun as well. I love Hyacinthe quite a lot, too. |
letter |
| Ahavah | Go On (TV) | Mr. K (Go On), Anne (Go On) | I chose Mr. K and Anne for my characters, but I really love all of them. Especially the interactions they all have together. Any wacky group hijinks is fun! But Mr. K is my absolute favorite. And I love Mr. K and Anne together — as friends only please. Anne is great, but I really think Mr. K brings out the best and worst in her. I'm afraid I don't have a lot of specific prompts to throw out there for this one. Part of the allure — for me, anyway — of Mr. K is how unexpected everything is with this guy. I'd be interested in learning about what brought him to the support group. Or I could totally see him obsessing over/pining for Wyatt after Lauren breaks up with him . For some reason, a Mr. K/Anne/Owen/Fausta roadtrip sounds appealing to me right now. Maybe you have better ideas. |
letter |
| Ahavah | Switched at Birth (TV) | Emmett Bledsoe | I'm choosing Emmett only since I messed up my nominations and didn't get to include all the awesome ladies I wanted to pick (Melody, Regina, Kathryn). If you wanted to write an Emmett fic that also includes Melody &/or Regina, that would be awesome. Not necessary though, but I love the friendship those two families had. I've been kind of sad to see it pushed aside. Emmett/Bay or Emmett/Travis is good too. I love the friendship/brotherhood growing between Emmett & Travis. It would be great to see a story about them that doesn't revolve around girls or trying to get laid. A story about how Emmett became a drummer could be fun. Emmett/Bay — with or without Travis & MaryBeth - road tripping (road trips seem to provide great options; apparently I am a fan) to do a pictorial documentary of street art, Emmett & Melody with Regina & Daphne before the switch, Emmett/Toby drunken hookup after Nikki ruins yet another band practice...I'm pretty much open for anything EXCEPT fic with him choosing a cochlear implant or hearing AUs. I really love Emmett's Deaf pride and would like that identity kept intact. |

| Aishuu | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz, Grant Ward, Melinda May | I would like something gen, preferably an ensemble fic. I would prefer no direct crossovers with the Avengers, but rather the wink and the nod to the existence of Agents within the wider Marvel universe. Something fun, a touch campy, and a touch dark/mysterious would totally rock my world. | letter |
| Aishuu | The Changeover - Margaret Mahy | Laura Chant, Sorensen Carlisle | I like Sorry and Laura... how about a story set about ten years later? Please no kidfic. | |
| Aishuu | 16th & 17th Century CE RPF | Very specific request: I want the facebook/twitter/livejournal/social media presence of historical figures, preferably focusing on England. Anything from the Conquest through the Victorian era is fine - I nerd on it all. I would like it to stick as close to historic fact as possible. Make me laugh, please. | ||
| Aishuu | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Will Stanton, Bran Davies aka Pendragon | Will/Bran forever. I'd like a story about them as adults that involves them in the modern world (how ARE they in 2013?). I love the idea of Bran as The Once and Future King in Surprising Ways (he doesn't need a crown to rule the world!). | |
| Aj (aj2245) | Lost Girl | Kenzi (Lost Girl), Dyson (Lost Girl) | ANYTHING. Crime solving shenanigans! Sexytimes! Dyson turns into a wolf to warm Kenzi's feet! I love how silly and sweet they are together, and while I would ADORE BEYOND REASON them banging like a screendoor in a tornado (there is NOT enough super!possessive wolf-themed Kenzi/Dyson sexytimes EVER EVER), I would be super-thrilled with a fun, sweet story about them dorking off in their off time. | letter |
| Aj (aj2245) | Survivors (TV 2008) | Abby Grant, Tom Price (Survivors) | More of their weird Queen/Knight Errant and/or dom/sub power dynamic! Even if it's a supply run or something. LOVE that she's the leader and he's totally her willing guard dog. | |
| Aj (aj2245) | MythBusters RPF | Kari Byron (Mythbusters), Tory Belleci (Mythbusters) | The evolution of their epic bromance. Or that time they spent 20+ hours on a bus to San Francisco.

| Aj (aj2245) | Foyle's War | Samantha Stewart, Paul Milner | OMG, ANYTHING. (Please no Sam/Foyle or Sam/Andrew, though.) Something ten years on when Sam's getting involved in the Women's Police Division and they meet up on a case! Or them getting together for dinner years on, or an AU where THEY ARE ADORABLE AND GREAT. PAUL APOLOGIZING TO SAM FOR BEING A JERK in the last season! | |
| Aja | Emma - Jane Austen | Emma Woodhouse, Jane Fairfax | I'm having an off-year, dear yulesanta. I've been doing yuletide for over 10 years and this is the first year i couldn't really think of anything i just HAD to request. so i'm requesting a bunch of dearly beloved fandoms from previous years, but mostly i just request that you have fun with whatever you write, and maybe try new things or give yourself the gift of shameless self-indulgence, whatever makes you happiest. these requests are in absolutely no order of preference, and the instructions are all just taken from previous dear santa letters because it's 5AM and i want to sleep! Also, I need to add: wow I've requested a LOT of porn below! But as in all things yuletide, the porn is optional like all the other details! Please please, if you aren't comfortable writing something with a higher rating, don't stress it and don't think you'll disappoint me with a few hundred words of G-rated genfic, because you absolutely won't. These are just optional details, and my brain is apparently taking a walk on the indulgent side this week! I will love anything you write for me, no matter what. Thank you! <3 ________ Emma is one of my favorite novels of all time, and Emma/Knightley is my ultimate OTP, the ship of my heart from whence all other ships spring. That said, I really love Emma/Jane, and the oft-pointed-out lesbian undertones in the novel have always intrigued me. I would love to see Jane and Emma work out their issues, preferably with tongue, and I wouldn't even mind if Mr. Knightley wanted to join in. ;) (What's the point of having a childhood if you can't ruin it?) You know Jane learned SO MUCH while she was with the Dixons that she can impart to Emma, if you catch my drift; and we all know how little Emma knows herself. What other kinds of self-exploration hasn't she done? ;) |
|
| Aja | Once on this Island - Flaherty/Ahrens | for this i'm linking to my Yuletide request for this wonderful musical from (gosh) 4 years ago! :) I love it so. <3 | letter | |
| Aja | Live Free or Die Hard (2007) | Matt Farrell | Oh, wow, I have no idea how this wound up eligible this year, but dude, if you're into that, I would be totally up for some hardcore John/Matt fucking, because that's a thing that needs to be happening all the time. But obviously that's optional! And as a suggestion, I'd really love to see Matt coping with life after the Fire Sale. I know that's a popular theme in the fandom and one I wrote about myself but I really love to see everyone's different takes on this and on how Matt "grows up" (or doesn't--personally i prefer the not-growing-up) after it all goes down. And the fucking. If you're not into John/Matt, any kind of Matt/Lucy interaction would be fun too! :) |
|
| Aja | Vesper Holly Adventures - Lloyd Alexander | Vesper Holly | I've requested this fandom more times than nearly any other Yuletide fandom I have, and I've never gotten it, haha. I love these books! I love Vesper - she's my favorite ass-kicking heroine. And I really, really want to see shameless, down-and-dirty, ruin-your-childhood Vesper/Dr. Helvitius porn. I want want want hot vesper/helvitius hatesex like a greedy childhood-ruining cradlerobber. :D Really I just want to see Vesper take her clothes off and have hot sex with someone, anyone. You could write a sexy femslash crossover with another hot chick (I love these books so much, but it's ridiculous that she's the ONLY GIRL IN THEM). Dubcon is okay, but I'd really like to see Vesper, who's such an amazingly sensual character, just get it on with the ever-suave Dr. Helvitius just because she wants to. (As part of a mind game? Who knows!) And really who doesn't love hot villain sex? And we all know Vesper has a soft spot for Helvitius. I'd love to see him seducing her (or at least her letting him think he's seducing her) into taking over the world. I'd love to see her really let go and give in to her sexy side. (And if you wanted to really be kinky, well, the books *are* always written from Brinnie's pov.... ) Honestly, though, if heroine/villain porn isn't your thing, then that's totally cool! Vesper and Brinnie on adventures and Vesper generally being brilliant and hot and sexy and putting the 'arch' in archaeology would make me really happy. I love Dr. Helvitius, though, and I'd be awfully pleased to watch him sparring with Vesper again. In any case, if you write this, please just have fun with the characters and the series and I'll be elated!!!! <3 |
|
| Aja | Havemercy Series - Jaida Jones & Danielle Bennett | Thom (Havemercy), Rook (Havemercy) | My needs are very simple: I just want these two to fuck like mad and then do it again. Have http://thremedon.livejournal.com/10832.html for some inspiration. :D Of course, I love and adore plot and would love ANYTHING you wrote for these two. (If, for example, you wanted to go back to book 1 and finish that amazing balcony scene the way it needed to end, be my guest!) But seriously, if you just wanted to write a thousand words of shameless violent fucking or cocksucking or whatever, I would be totally fine with that. Preferably fucking where they already know they're brothers and they literally could not give fewer fucks because of all the fucking that they clearly need to be doing. The thing I'm trying to say here is: fucking. Thank you and goodnight. |
|
| Aja | Nero Wolfe - Rex Stout | Archie Goodwin, Nero Wolfe | I love Nero and Archie together so much. I think their relationship is completely sensual and mutually seductive, and I think Archie (in addition to being totally sapiosexual and getting turned on by Nero's brain) is totally turned on by Nero's size and his physical appearance and shape. It seems like fic I've read of these two tends to make Nero shy about his weight; I would love fic where that isn't the case, where Nero is just as confident in bed as he is anywhere else. I'd love fic where the two of them are totally aware of what they do to each other. Fic where Archie only *thinks* he's seducing Nero because Nero has been seducing him since the moment they met. I'd also basically love porn for these two. Good Nero/Archie porn is hard to come by, and I think we all know why, but I really want to read something that indulges in the sensuality of Nero's shape and size and everything about him that Archie finds irresistible. Because he is *so obviously in love.* Additionally, friend of mine once called the Brownstone "a paradise of middle-aged queens," and I really love this description, and would love anything that captured that ambiance of decadence and pleasure and blatant queer sensuality. Also, if you can't write porn, don't worry--I'll love anything you can give me for these two. They are so in love, and even if you just write a random scene between the two of them, talking about a case and enjoying each other's company, I'll be happy. (but porn is always a bonus.) |
|
| Akane | Disney Princesses | I love the Princesses in each and every setup and I adore AU and femslash with them. More details in the Dear Yuletide Author letter, which will go up shortly. | ||
| Akane | Twisted Princess (Disney Fanart) | ee above ;) | ||
| Akane | Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger | Vampires and Werewolves tend to live forever - how are Lord Akeldama, Queen Ivy and Lord Maccon, along with the rest of our favourite immortals, taking the modern nights? How does a Vampire survive the Blitz? There are so many things in history to explore. More details in my letter, which will go up shortly. | ||
| Akane | Cities (Anthropomorphic) | London (Character) | I've lived in London for 9 months. I adore the city to bits. Its people, its history. I would love to read something about its own take on the plethora of historic events that have happened there through the ages. More in my letter, I promise it'll go up shortly. | |
| akaya | Hellboy (Movies) | John Myers, Nuada (Hellboy), Hellboy | I few specifications of what I'd like to see in this fic. It can be either already being together, or getting together fic between John/Nuada (this is the main pairing I am aiming here for) and Hellboy kind of getting in the way of things? Not in the over the top homophobic one, because we all know he is not this sort of a guy, but just purely accidental cock-blocking or just causing mischief. And as if it was so easy for those two to get together anyway. I'd love, love, love if there was some heavy plot behind it all, not just a drabble or a fic concentrating mostly on romance, because yes I do want it there and I want it to be visible, but having some good Hellboy'ish action with fairies, mutants and whatsoever would be swell. However I need to add: No rape/non-con/dub-con I am very much not alright with this stuff. |
|
| akaya | Justice League & Justice League Unlimited (Cartoons) | Wally West (Justice League Cartoon), John Stewart (Justice League Cartoon), J'onn J'onzz (Justice League Cartoon) | Wally is an evil overlord. That's pretty much it. He is still the Flash, he still works with his team of superheroes, he has an unhealthy crush on John Stewart (which is not one sided and I'd like to see that), but underneath all that? He is an evil overlord. He tried to stop it at first, but he is way too smart for it to go to waste and the accident causing him to become Flash in the first place didn't help. So yeah, he still likes to joke and chat around, but inside his head more often than not he keeps analysing the bad guys they catch, looking for loopholes in their plans and updating his own (for years now managing to shield those thoughts from J'onn and other mindreaders they had encountered). Because he is evil. And now, for some reason it's out, and I'd love to see the reactions of the whole team as well as addressing the attraction between John and Wally. However I need to add: No rape/non-con/dub-con I am very much not alright with this stuff. |
|
| akaya | Batman Beyond | Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond), Maxine Gibson (Batman Beyond) | It's been kept a secret through the years. This thing between Bruce and Terry that went beyond just working together, or even being friends. It's been years and now it's time to go out in public. The science went forward too. It won't make Bruce any younger or Terry any older, but it can give the two of them more time together and that's what is important. In short: Bruce and Terry go public with their relationship, Max helps as they PR. However this is not their only problem, Neo Gotham's crime world never sleeps. Enter old enemies perhaps? However I need to add: No rape/non-con/dub-con I am very much not alright with this stuff. |
|
| akaya | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills, Captain Frank Irving, Andy Brooks | Ichabod finds a helping teacher in the person he least expected to. Cue Captain Frank Irving getting fed up with the man constantly getting in his way and getting confused in the world around (as if he really was living under a goddamn rock, swear to...) and getting an elite programme involving himself, Abbie and the aforementioned Ichabod to get the latter to properly learn about the modern world. Hilarity ensue, maybe also some UST between the three of them, and the evil is not sleeping mind you. The headless rider is still around. However I need to add: No rape/non-con/dub-con I am very much not alright with this stuff. |
|
| Akshi | Lie to Me (TV) | Cal Lightman, Gillian Foster | I'd love to see more of the relationship between the two - either romantic or platonic. | |
| Akshi | Loveless | Aoyagi Ritsuka, Agatsuma Soubi | Anything involving one or both of these characters. Go nuts! | |
| Akshi | Doctrine of Labyrinths - Sarah Monette | Felix Harrowgate, Mildmay Foxe | ||
| Akshi | The Thorn Boy - Storm Constantine | Darien (The Thorn Boy) | What happens to Darien after the book ends? | |
| Alashandra | Blood and Feathers - Lou Morgan | Zadkiel (Blood and Feathers), Castor (Blood and Feathers), Mallory (Blood and Feathers), Alice (Blood and Feathers) | Really not sure how to do this without spoilers. But I love the whole idea of Zadkiel and Castor. Something pre-canon would be awesome. | letter |
| Alashandra | Captain Britain and MI: 13 | Faiza Hussain (Captain Britain), Dane Whitman (Captain Britain), Pete Wisdom (Captain Britain) | I've loved everything I've seen of these three in their recent Gambit appearances. I'd love to see more post-canon of Faiza and Dane, period, or maybe even in the post-Avengers Assemble #15 Age of Ultron world. Really, though, I mostly just love Faiza and would be happy as long as she's in it. | letter |
| Alashandra | Arthurian Mythology | Mordred (Arthurian Mythology), Galahad (Arthurian Mythology) | I love these two. Reincarnation fic or severe AU fic where they can be friends or more is awesome. | letter |
| Alashandra | Hardy Boys - Franklin W. Dixon | Joe Hardy (Hardy Boys), Frank Hardy (Hardy Boys) | I was always more of a fan of the Casefiles than anything else, but I would love case fic or domestic fic or basically anything. | letter |
| Alashandra | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Thomas Raith, Mouse (Dresden Files - Butcher), Molly Carpenter | Brother fic! Apprentice learning fic! Everybody dealing with the fall out of COLD DAYS! ...Yeah. I just want Dresden Files fic. (Thomas is my favorite, though.) | letter |
| Alashandra | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | October "Toby" Daye, Tybalt (Toby Daye), May Daye, Jazz (Toby Daye) | o many choices, but I'd love to see more of these two couples outside of the books. Case fic or just date fic. | letter |
| Alasse_Irena | Thursday's Children - Rumer Godden | Anything. Honestly, anything. But I am interested in Yuri, if that helps. | letter | |
| Alasse_Irena | Dance Academy | I like ballet details, and all the girls in this show. | letter | |
| Alasse_Irena | A Place of Greater Safety - Hilary Mantel | Maximilien Robespierre, Lucille Desmoulins (A Place of Greater Safety), Camille Desmoulins (A Place of Greater Safety), Georges Jacques Danton (A Place of Greater Safety) | ....Fix fix? Camille and Maxi high school shenanigans? Modern AU? I want happy times. | letter |
| Alasse_Irena | Ancient History RPF | Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus (Greek & Roman History RPF), Gaius Sempronius Gracchus (Greek & Roman History RPF) | Childhood fun times, futuristic (or any other) AUs, tragic angst stories. I forgot to nominate Cornelia their mother, but she is an awesome woman. | letter |
| alba17 | Graceland (TV) | Paul Briggs, Mike Warren, Dale Jakes, Charlie DeMarco | 1) Paul and Mike have such a complex relationship: mentor/mentee, friends, hunter/prey. I would love to see it pushed into slash, with the added complications of sexual attraction. I want to see lots of UST, with eventual pay-off. It doesn't have to be full-out sex (although that would be great). I want to see their issues of trust and competition play out. Can they trust each other? How much? Where do they stand with each other? How does the added tension of sex change their relationship? It can take place during the show or post-S1. Feel free to include any of the other housemates as side characters because I love them all. But it should be a Paul/Mike story. I don't want fluff, although there could be banter. I want to see the various strands of their relationship as it is on the show, so preferably some angst should be in the mix. 2) I would also enjoy a story where they're already in a relationship and the other housemates discover it. How do they react? Maybe there's jealousy or shock. Does it change things? 3) A general slice of life story about all the housemates would be great too. 4) Jakes backstory. What happened with his wife? |
letter |
| alba17 | The Following | Joe Carroll, Ryan Hardy | Joe and Ryan have such intense feelings about each other. I want to see sexual attraction added to the mix. This could be backstory, pre-show, where they had some kind of sexual relationship before Ryan discovered what Joe really was. Or add UST to their interactions during the show. Or show both! Perhaps Joe's goal is to make Ryan beg him for sex. Or to admit he's attracted to Joe. One of their encounters during the show that evolves into sex. Whatever happens should include the elements of their relationship on the show: power plays, manipulation, anger, jealousy. Dub con is fine but I don't want out right non-con. | letter |
| alba17 | The Hour | Freddie Lyon, Bel Rowley, Lix Storm, Hector Madden | A couple of options: 1) A fix-it fic. I want to find out what happens to Freddie after the last episode and I want it to end well for Freddie and Bel. Include any other characters you like. 2) Lix backstory or character study. I just love Lix and it sounds like she's had an interesting life. Or a canon era story is fine too, just something exploring her character. |

| alba17 | 16th Century CE RPF | William Shakespeare (16th Century CE RPF), Christopher Marlowe (16th Century CE RPF) | Once again I'm looking for a slash story. I just love the idea of these two pairing up and maybe working together or inspiring each other and having hot Elizabethan sex in the back room of a tavern, peeling off layers of clothing. Or something. Feel free to include espionage elements from Marlowe's life. I love everything about the Elizabethan period. | letter |
| alba17 | Ripper Street | Homer Jackson, Edmund Reid | 1) I'd like to see these two characters get together romantically. I'd love to see some h/c or a sexual encounter, or both. Perhaps one of them reveals a secret. 2) Jackson's backstory. I'd love to find out more about this. |

| alba17 | Call the Midwife | Jenny Lee, Cynthia Miller, Chummy Browne, Trixie Franklin | I would really love anything you write. It could be a slice of life, a particular case, future fic, backstory, femslash, anything. Feel free to include other characters (only the nurses had tags). | letter |

| Alchemine | Le Roi Soleil - Florence/Guirano/Ouali | Monsieur Philippe le Duc d'Orleans (Le Roi Soleil) | I am wide open here. Basically I just want Philippe to be his awesome self, whether that means brother-bonding with Louis, enjoying himself with various pretty boys and girls at the court, or anything else you can think of. I also really like the Duc de Beaufort, so if you can work him in there somewhere (Philippe visits him in prison after the iron mask scene?) I'd love that, but if not, no problem. | |
| Alchemine | Lewis Barnavelt series - John Bellairs | Lewis Barnavelt, Florence Zimmermann, Jonathan Barnavelt, Rose Rita Pottinger | Pretty flexible here too. I'm interested in Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmermann's long friendship, so maybe they tell Lewis and Rose Rita a story about an adventure they had as part of the Capharnaum County Magicians Society many years ago? Or, maybe a far-future story where Lewis and Rose Rita are still friends in middle/old age and have to fight evil together again? | |

| AlexElizabeth | Mairelon the Magician - Patricia Wrede | Richard Merrill, Kim Merrill | I ask for this pairing just about every Yuletide, and every year I've gotten a story in this fandom, I have been entirely happy. I really love anything to do with these two, but I'm pretty low-key when it comes to stories about them and I'm sure I'm going to squee over whatever you write for me! Some guidelines about what I like and dislike - I prefer no threesomes or non-canonical pairings, but explicit stories are fine with me. Other than that, within this fandom, anything goes for me. Plotty or happy-sappy, historical or fantasy focused, or a mix of any of those - whatever you feel like writing really. Thank you in advance! |
|
| AlexElizabeth | The Lady of Shalott - Alfred Lord Tennyson | The Lady of Shalott (The Lady of Shalott (poem)), Lancelot (The Lady Of Shalott (poem)) | I'm open to any kind of story that has to do with this poem. I chose to request both the Lady and Lancelot, but honestly I'd be good with either one of them if inspiration hits you along one line or the other. I love the poem but am not familiar with any fic about it, so I added it on a whim this year and am eager to see what you do with it! | |
| AlexElizabeth | Magids Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Rupert Venables, Maree Mallory | Diana Wynne Jones' world-building ability combined with her humorous and so very lifelike characters leaves me pretty much in awe, and I'd enjoy a story that focused on either of those factors, or both if you want to take it on! I ship these two, but don't let that discourage you if you'd rather write something plotty and fantastical that doesn't focus on relationships. Thank you in advance for the story!! | |
| AlexElizabeth | In Plain Sight | Mary Shannon, Marshall Mann | Okay, prepare for a rant here. I was genuinely pretty damn upset about the way this show ended. I ship Mary and Marshall kind of hardcore, but I was okay with the idea that they might not be together when the show ended. What bothered me was the discussion between Mary and Marshall where Marshall tells Mary that she has to let him go so that he can be with Abigail. I had appreciated that the show had been exploring dynamics of codependency resulting from childhood abuse or neglect situations (Mary's addicted parents, Marshall's controlling father to a lesser extent) and I felt that, while the ending was not unrealistic, it was unfair to what the characters could have brought to an honest conversation about the dynamics of their relationship. I was also not at all sure that M&M would be able to just put the brakes on their very close, somewhat fused working relationship, much as both of them seemed willing to do so for the sake of each other's happiness. So, while I would love an AU that gets M&M together, what I'd really like - within either a romantic or platonic context - is an alternate understanding between Mary and Marshall that avoids the show's implication that Mary is just needy needy needy and has to give Marshall space, and instead explores the idea that Marshall had a need to be a helper as much as Mary had a need to be helped, and see how they can come to a healthy place (again, either romantically or platonically) within that context. | |
| alianne | The Dead Isle - Sam Starbuck | Really the only thing I don't want in this fandom is something that takes them out of their world. Other than that, you can't go wrong!! Any plot, any rating. If you want more ideas, please see the letter! | letter | |
| alianne | 100 Books That Should Be Written (Tumblr) | Island Getaways and the Art of Early Retirement by Amelia Earhart, April Was Nothing by T. S. Eliot | Why these books? I'm somewhat enamored with T.S. Eliot and The Waste Land is one of my favorites. Make any references to that and I will be happy. And to me Island Getaways... sounds just like the snark that is necessary for dealing with a sudden disappearance. Basically have fun! | letter |
| alianne | Obernewtyn Chronicles - Isobelle Carmody | Dragon (Obernewtyn) | **I am not finished with this series and do not want spoilers.** I have not yet read The Sending. If this changes, I will certainly update here first. Anyway, I understand that it's hard to speculate on things when you've read them, so if you want to do some sort of fill-in fic that'd be great. I listed Dragon as the character requested because she fascinates me. How did she survive in the ruins? What do her thoughts sound like? How did she discover her Visioning ability? Maybe life in the Red Queen's land? How much of the dream-vision do we think was borne from truth? If you want more ideas (alternate characters,etc), please see the letter! :D | letter |
| alianne | Six Degrees of Separation (1993) | I left characters blank because I love this play/movie. What I would really love is worldbuilding in the broadest sense of the word: something that happens in this world that we don't see. I will be most happy with the story YOU want to tell. But if you want something specific: Ouisa's backstory, or anything borne out of her Six Degrees monologue. A scene with Paul and his father. I also love the children, so anything about them (college? parent relationships?) would be great. **Note: If you were matched on something else and get stuck I am also totally okay with original fic born out of the primary 'Six Degrees' monologue, copied below** "I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation. Between us and everybody else on this planet. The President of the United States. A. gondolier in Venice. Fill in the names. I find that A.] tremendously comforting that we're so close and B.] like Chinese water torture that we're so close. Because you have to find the right six people to make the connection. It's not just big names. It's anyone. A native in a rain forest. A Tierra del Fuegan. An Eskimo. I am bound to everyone on this planet by a trail of six people. It's a profound thought. How Paul found us. How to find the man whose son he pretends to be. Or perhaps is his son, although I doubt it. How every person is a new door, opening up into other worlds. Six degrees of separation between me and everyone else on this planet. But to find the right six people..." |

I want to know if he is ever thought of after, by any of the blackmailed characters. Do they still hate him? Do they pretend to be upset? Even in the future - during or after college, do they think of Carson or the literary magazine at all? I want to know if April approaches Sheryl, asking about Carson so she can tell her baby about his half brother. Do they bond somehow? |

The telepathic spiders? DID SHE STILL DIE? Other characters welcome - I'm very fond of both Nishi and Otomo. Otherwise, I'm convinced that Asami and Misaki married themselves while on their date. I would love to know how they feel about it. |

| Alixtii | Illuminatus! Trilogy - Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson | Miss Portinari | What is it like for a teenaged girl to be the spiritual leader of the Lief Erikson? Show me Miss Portinari being awesome and wise and a teeanager (with a sex drive) and having fun all while she's at it. I'm interested in learning more about Miss Portinari. She hits all my kinks: a girl who is both a teen and the spiritual leader of the Lief Erikson, commanding a position of authority and respect while being sexually and spiritually and practically liberated. (Also I sort of love that she is always referred to using the honorific, even if that means we don't know her first name. Assuming of course that her given name isn't actually "Miss"--which I think is a fairly safe assumption to make, especially given her Catholic parents and the fact she was born prior to the Second Vatican Council.) Talk about being will-to-powery [link: http://alixtii.livejournal.com/tag/will-to-poweriness]! Pretty much any point in canon would be great, although I would especially like to see some of Miss Portinari after Hagbard appoints her the spiritual leader, and setting it after the Lief Erikson becomes a spaceship in RAW's Schrodinger Cat trilogy would be just awesome. (For some reason, I have this image of her being the spiritual leader of not only the ship, but also a planet named Fred that the Lief Erikson is in orbit around. Don't ask me where that came from.) But finding out more about the time when she had just joined the crew of the Lief Erikson would be cool too. What is it like to have reached enlightenment when your body is still changing and being flooded by hormones--and where do you go from there, when you still have the rest of your life in front of you? (Apparently, in the universe next door she visits a man in prison. [link: http://rawilsonfans.com/articles/IOpening.htm]) How does she interact with the rest of the crew, before and/or after her appointment as episkopos? (We know George Dorn was intimidated by her immediately after her elevation.) Does she miss the company of other people her age? What is her relationship with Hagbard? We know from the appendix that she and Hagbard occasionally have sex (but "never became lovers"); does she have any other partners, and how does she approach those relationships? Basically I just want to see more of this very cool character we saw relatively little of in canon (and much of what we did see only in an appendix), taking control not only of her own life, but being responsible for the spiritual well-being of an entire submarine. |
letter |
| Alixtii | Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm - Kate Douglas Wiggan | Rebecca Randall, Emma Jane Perkins | New Chronicles of Rebecca notwithstanding, these two are so married to each other. I'd like femslash which emphasizes the way they complement each other. Perhaps futurefic where Rebecca the famous poet travels to Paris with Emma Jane at her side as trusty companion? Emma Jane is the Alice B. Toklas to Rebecca's Gertrude Stein. These two are just so incredibly married that showing them at pretty much any stage of their life would be awesome. You could write a first time, showing their first date or first kiss or first time they had sex, or you could go established relationship because the books already have done everything needed to convince me of them as a couple. You could write a missing scene from the periods of time covered by the two books, or show what happens after the end of the books, or you could write a futurefic like suggested in the prompt above. Anything really goes here, from a small comfortable vignette like those found in New Chronicles of Rebecca to something more serious wrestling with the historical context to something truly wild in which Emma Jane and Rebecca fight off aliens or travel in the TARDIS to something more solidly romantic to PWP where they roleplay in the bedroom. Or all of the above. Just so long as Emma Jane and Rebecca keep that married vibe which is so--unintentionally, of course, or so one assumes--strong in canon. The more femslashy the better, of course! Feel free to just ignore the het romances gestured towards in canon; I suppose I don't have a problem with Adam Ladd appearing in the fic, since he obviously has been a huge influence in the lives of both Rebecca and Emma Jane, but the romance and focus of the fic should be between the two girls. |

| Alixtii | Honor Harrington Series - David Weber | Rachel Mayhew | Rachel on Manticore being awesome. Like Honor. I got into this fandom after seeing a couple of different discussions in fandom in which Honor Harrington was brought up as a potential example of a "canon Mary Sue." I interpreted this as meaning I would like the books, so earlier this year I began to listen to them on audiobook. I wasn't wrong. The Honor Harrington series includes a large number of dynamic interesting female characters (not least of them being Honor herself, obviously), but out of all of them, Rachel gets the least attention, which is why I would really love to read some fic about her. I think it's pretty clear how she fits into this list alongside Rebecca Randall and Andromeda Slate: she's quite literally a princess, or rather the Grayson equivalent thereof. She has a treecat. She's an independent thinker who doesn't let her misogynistic culture limit her choices. I'd like to see fic about Rachel's time on Manticore that shows her being awesome, having to draw on all she is and wants to become as she navigates a new society in one or more of the roles she has to play. I like worldbuilding, so revealing a new side of Manticorean society, its navy, etc. would be very interesting to me. Perhaps she finds herself drawn into some type of negotiation where she ends up needing to represent her planet? Or maybe she just has to work her way through social problems with her classmates and/or instructors. Maybe she falls in love with a girl and/or has to work her way through a spiritual crisis. Other characters I'd be especially interested in reading about (i.e., you might consider having Rachel interact with include) pretty much anybody with "Harrington" and/or "Alexander" in their name (but especially James or Faith, who intrigue me quite a bit!), Abigail Hearns, Andrea Jaruwalski, Sonja Hemphill, Theodosia Kuzak, Helen Zilwicki, the House of Winton, and Shannon Foraker, among others. (Obviously, these are only suggestions, and I have no idea how you could get Foraker to Manticore.) |

| Alixtii | Awoken - Serra Elinsen | Chloe Bay, Andromeda "Andi" Slate, Scarlett Epistola, Bridget "Bree" Fifan | Femslash or gen focusing on the female-to-female relationships. To say that Elinsen's novel leaves plenty of room for fanfiction is probably something of an understatement. Her characterizations (Uncle Neil included, when you get down to it) are admittedly not the most fleshed-out ones in the world. Andromeda Slate in particular is essentially a Rebecca Randall (or a Sara Crewe, etc.) in the hands of a lesser writer not quite capable of pulling her off. Rebecca shines off the page so brightly from her first appearance that we don't quite notice that she hasn't technically earned the good things to come to her. Whereas Andromeda is such a blank slate--ahem--that we can't not notice that fact, unless we've successfully placed ourselves in her shoes, in which case we don't want to. That said, there's a lot of potential in the female characters Elinsen gives us for the fic writer to take advantage of. Chloe doesn't appear for most of the novel, but from the brief appearance she does make you can tell she's awesome--most certainly more so than her brother or Andromeda--and I wouldn't mind the chance of getting to see more of her. And I mean that in more than one sense. Not that Andromeda herself is beyond redemption by any means. I feel that in the hands of the right fic author, I can easily be convinced that Andi really is just as awesome as the universe she inhabits seems to think she is. So if you can show her taking charge of her life and actual earning her status as a special snowflake and exhibiting some agency--well, that would be pretty darn cool. Especially if said agency involves her kissing other girls. Much like Anna Kendrick's character in Twilight (and let's face it, her scenes are the best part of that series, even if I do enjoy the whole more or less unironically), Bridget seems to be the sane person in a world gone mad--and because the world has gone mad, her reason ends up being dead wrong because it fails to account how reality is going to warp to account for Andromeda's intrinsic specialness and the power of her great love. Because of all this, I think her character would be interesting to explore further, as we see her interact more with Andi, Chloe, and/or Scarlett. Just no fat-shaming, please. Getting Scarlett Epistola into the mix is more complicated, I recognize, as she's MIA at the end of the book. If inserting her into the fic becomes too complicated, I give you permission to leave her out, but I do think she provides some interesting options for interacting with the other female characters, and I'd enjoy seeing her turn her sex appeal onto one of the girls. Both femslash (using any of the possible permutations of characters up to and including foursome orgy) and gen would be great. I don't mind het in and of itself, and obviously there are a couple of canonical het relationships that need to be dealt with (the book is a paranormal romance, after all), but I just find the male characters in the book fundamentally boring. So any antipathy I feel is toward Riley and Vivek rather than het as a genre (which I love and have written many, many times). On the other hand, I wouldn't exactly object to Chloe/Riley, or to Chloe/Riley/Andi. Despite my criticisms, my enjoyment of the novel is largely unironic--what can I say, I enjoy self-indulgent wish-fulfillment--so don't feel the need to write intentionally bad prose or dialogue in an attempt to parody Elinsen's style (such as it is). |

| Alixtii | That Guy with the Glasses/Channel Awesome | Evilina (That Guy with the Glasses/Channel Awesome), Mara Wilson (That Guy with the Glasses/Channel Awesome), Nostalgia Chick, Nostalgia Critic | The aftermath of the Critic's resurrection. Does Mara return to her constant quest for revenge? How does the Chick respond to the loss of her nostalgia monopoly? Work in Evilina somehow, throw in a bunch of OTT meta humor, and stir. I got into TGWTG after meeting agentanachronism [link: http://agentanachronism.dreamwidth.org/] (who is, of course, one of the core members of Team NChick) at MiniMerlin 2009 and subsequently adding her to my friends list. I really enjoyed Nostalgia Chick and soon moved onto other webseries hosted on the site (in particular, Nostalgia Critic, Obscurus Lupa, and those which now fall under the Chez Apocalypse [link: http://chezapocalypse.com/] label). I've even written my own fic in this fandom, for Yuletide 2011: Nostalgia Chick Must Die [link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/296353}! I love the fundamental flawedness and complexity of the Chick and the Critic as fictional characters: their near-sociopathic megalomania, the Critic's existential angst and anger management issues, the Chick's alcoholism and how she's not nearly as enlightened as she thinks she is, etc. But I also love the levels of pathos, drama, and real emotion possible in the TGWTG-verse--just as Doug notes at the end of To Boldly Flee [link: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/36311-to-boldly-flee-part-1], they've taken on a life of their own. Mara Wilson's two [link: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/35109-a-simple-wish] appearances [link: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/team-nchick/nostalgia-chick/36832-matilda] were of course both awesome, but in the wake of the Critic's resurrection after "The Review Must Go On" [link: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/38009-the-review-must-go-on] I'm left wondering what consequences it would have on Mara's quest for revenge. Would she once again set out attempting to smite him? I do follow Mara on Twitter, so if you want to draw on her personality there for her characterization, that's fine. Or if you want to restrict yourself to just the characterization we get in TGWTG canon (since Mara on Twitter presumably isn't, you know, undead), that's okay too. And how would Nostalgia Chick fit into it? We haven't really seen her react to the loss of her nostalgia monopoly--but of course, we haven't really seen all that much of her in general since To Boldly Flee, yet alone "The Review Must Go On." I can't really imagine she'd take it any better than RPF!Lindsay did in that fascinating meta-verse we saw in"The Review Must Go On" (which intrigues me quite a bit, I must admit), though. As the Chick notes in the "Matilda" review, calling Chick!Lindsay and the Critic "allies" is a bit strong; so does Lindsay help Mara to take the Critic down? Or does she take her place alongside her fellow producer and sort-of leader against the fury of Mara's vengeance? As for Evilina, I know I'm not the only one who really enjoys the character. The mixture of gleeful childhood innocence and the lingering threat of Satanic fire works really well together, Rachel plays her beautifully, and she has some really great chemistry with the Critic. Of course, the whole spawn of Satan thing might mean she has some mutual acquaintances with undead, demonic Mara. Maybe the two of them have already met in the underworld. Maybe Evilina's father has already endorsed Mara's quest, and Evilina is powerless to protect the Critic from Mara without invoking his anger, and is forced to choose. If you're looking for other characters to include, some of my favorites include Lupa, Nella, Drs. Block and Tease (I wonder what happened to them after To Boldly Flee!), the Makeover Fairy, Elisa/Maven, OanCitizen, and Diamanda Hagan. |

| Alley_Skywalker | Impact (2008) | Roland Emerson | o I would love a shippy Roland/Alex fic. For something pre-film... well they've obviously met each other before so, have they worked together? Did they, perhaps, meet as university students at some awesome international student conference? For canon timeframe I would love some sort of UST and "but I'm getting married to a woman that I really do love"/"you're getting married to a woman you love" angst, maybe with flashbacks. Resolution would be great, but not necessary. I would also love to read about Roland's feelings during the lunar mission or before it, while they are still figuring out what to do with the situation. Maybe a character study piece or his college days (with badass OCs if you'd like!) How does Roland feel about the baby? Obviously happy, but well, maybe paniced a bit too (?) since Roland is one of those workaholic types who has a really hard time growing up being responsible and mature and doing ~settled down things. |

| Alley_Skywalker | Как закалялась сталь | How the Steel Was Tempered - Nikolai Ostrovsky | Pavel Korchagin, Fyodor Zhukhrai | This fandom doesn't exactly lend itself well to ~romance but I would love to see some epic UST between Zhukhrai and Pavel. Unresolved would probably be more in character here but you know, whatever rocks your boat. In the book there is that whole scene where Pavel saves Fyodor from arrest and then gets arrested himself for freeing a convict. There's just this romantic undertone of "my life for his" in that whole thing and their entire dynamic has a hero-worshipy sort of layer to it. I'm especially interested in the civil war period. Or maybe a/the reunion right after it. The falling in love, the being in love, the worrying about each other... and all of this unspoken, at least in any degree that goes beyond friendship and mentorship. But, of course, strong feelings always have a way to make it to the surface. |

A couple of ideas: post-movie, Jenko and Schmidt go undercover again, this time in college; or AU or crossover, Jenko and Schmidt go undercover in an alternate-universe setting, like Hogwarts, or in a historical setting. |

| allheadybooks | D.E.B.S. (2004) | Lucy Diamond, Amy Bradshaw | I would love a Lucy/Amy story with one or more of the following things: romance, crimefighting, awkward exploratory sex, punny comebacks, snarky sidekicks. After the events of the movie, do Amy and Lucy ever make it to Barcelona? Does Amy go to art school? Does Lucy regret her years of supervillainy, and try to make amends by--just as an example--tracking down everyone she's ever wronged and bullying them into accepting reparations? Or maybe they give the Barcelona dream a try, but relationships are hard and Lucy cracks under the pressure of living the straight life, causing angst and pining and maybe some more horribly awkward blind dates? Background Scud/Janet would be an awesome bonus. |

| allheadybooks | Spaced | Tim Bisley, Daisy Steiner | I would love to see Tim and Daisy encounter some kind of real-life crisis which they describe through pop culture analogies (planning and executing a surprise birthday party = Reservoir Dogs, a friendly game of cards = Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, stuck in an elevator with coworkers = The Breakfast Club) and must then solve with the assistance/interference of Mike, Twist, Brian, and Marsha. I'm not particular about pairings here--canon pairings are fine, total gen fic is fine, and non-canon pairings (Tim/Mike? Daisy/Brian? Twist/...Mike?) are also fine. Just go crazy with the pop culture references and you will make me super happy. |

| alliterate | Skullgirls | Squigly (Skullgirls), Filia (Skullgirls), Painwheel (Skullgirls) | Okay, before I hit you with optional details here, let me just say: ANY SKULLGIRLS FIC AT ALL WOULD BE SO FANTASTIC. I will be DELIGHTED by anything you come up with. More specifically: I love, love, love these girls, and I'd love to see a story about the three of them! I know Painwheel and Squigly haven't interacted onscreen, but Filia's relationship with each of them is so lovely to me, and I'd really enjoy seeing the three of them together interacting in any capacity. Within-canon, post-canon, pre-canon if you can swing it somehow, seriously, anything. Gen/friendship fic would be wonderful, but if you feel like writing ships, I ship the heck out of Filia/Painwheel and Filia/Squigly, and could absolutely get behind an OT3 or other poly relationship. |
letter |
| alliterate | Young Avengers | Tommy Shepherd (Young Avengers), David Alleyne (Young Avengers) | I'd really, really love a story about the development of David and Tommy's relationship. I ship it a LOT so if you feel like going there, by all means, but friendship fic would be wonderful too! I love how both of them have grown in the few years they've been in comics limbo - David carving out a life for himself and expressing resentment over the way the X-Men treated him and his friends means a lot to me, but Tommy, too, I love how he's grown a little less angry and bitter, a little more calm (well, relatively). Any kind of story would be wonderful to me, be it a character study of one of them, or an examination of how they just sort of stumbled into friendship, or missing scenes fic, or futurefic where they're relationship develops more, or...really, anything. |
letter |
| alliterate | The Transformers (IDW Generation One) | Whirl (IDW Generation One), Rung (IDW Generation One) | Whirl and Rung have one of my favourite relationships in the canon, and in a story so full of complex and interesting relationships between large robots, that is saying a LOT. Whirl in particular I'm deeply invested in because of his struggles with mental illness, with having found a home with the Wreckers and lost it and not knowing how to recover from that. And Rung is just...a darling, he's such a good person and the rare GOOD FICTIONAL THERAPIST and he cares so, so deeply about all his patients, and friendship means so much to him. I would love any kind of exploration of their relationship (past, present, future, AU, what-have-you), and as with my other requests, I emphatically ship it but also absolutely adore them as friends. | letter |
| alliterate | Super Dangan Ronpa 2 | Nanami Chiaki, Sonia Nevermind | I love these girls SO MUCH. Any story about them would completely thrill me. I'm having trouble with my optional details here because I don't want to spoil you if you're following one of the LPs that hasn't finished yet, so forgive me if I'm a little vague here. Sonia's complete unwavering faith in Nanami got me so interested in their relationship. How did that develop offscreen? I love how Sonia loves her friends, and specifically loves all the GIRLS on the island and takes it upon herself to set up time for all of them to bond together (/waves the Sonia femslash flag). And as for Nanami, I love her, her strange brainfoggy behaviour and combination of solitary nerdery and caring deeply for everyone around her. As you can probably tell, I really, really ship them, but any kind of examination of their relationship/interactions/etc will absolutely delight me. | letter |
| Alona | Mysterious Mr. Quin - Agatha Christie | Mr. Harley Quin (Agatha Christie), Mr. Satterthwaite | There's not really a delicate way to say I SHIP IT I SHIP IT A WHOLE LOT THEY SHOULD KISS. Well, there's probably a more delicate way than that, but, anyway. I'd love casefic after the fashion of the book, and/or an exploration of the book's mythology, or for a change a story that show's Mr. Quin's perspective on Mr. Satterthwaite. | letter |
| Alona | Robot Series - Isaac Asimov | Susan Calvin | Tell me about Susan being her brilliant, caustic self, be it adventures in malfunctioning robots, in US Robots upper management personality clashes, or in robot-related political maneuverings and pitfalls. Get Stephen Byerley involved if you can, especially during his term as mayor. | letter |
| Alona | The Lost Conspiracy - Frances Hardinge | Hathin | I just love Hathin so much it hurts, and I would love to read any post-canon fic about her growing up and coming further into her own. For example topics, her involvement in rebuilding, her evolving relationship with Arilou, her coming to terms with her own celebrity status, even her leading a right proper revolution against the Port Suddenwind government. | letter |
| Alona | Tricksters - Tamora Pierce | Alianne Cooper, Kyprioth (Tortall) | I'm really into Aly's scheming ways and the how she can be so much darker than the other Tortall heroines, and I love the way her relationship with Kyprioth both brings that out and sometimes makes her push against it when he crosses her idea of boundaries. I'd love any story exploring their relationship, perhaps with Aly getting wise to one of Kyprioth's schemes she hasn't been made privy to and either interfering or helping. | letter |

| alsomeansbloody | The Middleman (TV) | Wendy Watson, Lacey Thornfield, The Middleman, Ida (The Middleman) | Wendy and Lacey have TV's best friendship, so if you want to run with that, it's totally welcome. When did Art Crawl! start? How did they even find their awesome illegal sublet? And when, exactly, did they vow not to become scantily-clad waitresses at the pirate-themed sports bar? It's an oddly-specific vow, is all. Or if you'd rather, it'd be cool to see Wendy become really good at her job, so that she and the Middleman really are partners. |
letter |
| alsomeansbloody | Lost Girl | Tamsin (Lost Girl), Bo (Lost Girl), Kenzi (Lost Girl) | One of my favorite things about this show is that I pretty much ship everybody with everybody--with a couple of exceptions, but not on this list. My favorite might be Tamsin/Bo, and seeing how they both finally admit their interest, or what their relationship looks like once it's gotten going and they're established. On the other hand, if you'd rather they start in some dive bar outside of town facing off in a cage fight cause they need to rescue Dyson or Kenzi, I am all for that. Actually, I have a weakness for cage fights in general, so maybe not the best example of them not together. I know not everyone wants to write f/f, which is totally fine, everyone should have friends, so write them as relationshippy or not as you'd like. But dude, she lives in her truck, don't you think Bo and Kenzi would be nice enough to lend a couch during the winter? I love when the show lets slip more info on the older characters' pasts, and info on specific fae characteristics...so more info on what it means to be a Valkyrie, or a succubus, that kind of thing is very interesting to me. As are the day-to-day things they always leave out of the show--does the checkout guy at the grocery still hit on Bo? Does she remember the no feeding where we shop rule? Where does Tamsin find those jeans? How much extra do they have to tip for the pizza guy to deliver out to their crack shack? |

| alsomeansbloody | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | It's a little bit weird to me that I'm not finding anyone on this show that I want romantically involved just yet. The closest I've come is I want Melinda to be Skye's SO, not Ward. I get the feeling that Skye doesn't see any one area of the Bus as "her's" so she just goes everywhere, so maybe she can head up to the cockpit or something and talk to crazy-awesome Melinda May? Who, possibly in an effort to get her to stop talking, starts teaching her how to pilot the bus? (It doesn't seem like anyone else knows how, and that can't be...wise.) I think I'd just like to see the moments that turn them not just into a team, because we're seeing that, but people who genuinely like each other, and know one another's rhythms and quirks because as awesome as it is, they still live on a plane, and it's not really all that big. I'd also really like to know when Jemma and Fitz got whittled down to her pointing and saying "Fitz," and his pointing and saying "Simmons," and just FitzSimmons to other people. Was there objection? Or did it feel like they were being accepted? How much liquor does it take before the story behind The Calvary comes out? How much more before the story behind why she hates it? Also, I can't stop comparing Melinda May and Natasha Romanoff, so if you want to do some kind of crossover, you are so welcome to do so, you don't even know. Forget about the others, unless you want to bring them along. |
letter |
| alsomeansbloody | King & Maxwell (TV) | Benny (King & Maxwell), Sean King, Michelle Maxwell, Edgar Roy | I adore the chemistry between everybody on the show, but Benny was a special surprise, I'll be honest. I get the impression that Sean wouldn't mind terribly if she and Michelle suddenly melded into one woman he could date so he wouldn't have to pick between them. I love how there is some of that tension between them, and how Michelle is still establishment enough for there to be a bit of that tension between them, and how she treats Edgar like her brother, nothing different or complicated, just he is the way he is. It'd be nice to see her and Michelle get to know one another a bit better, maybe chill on the dock with some beer. I love that Michelle was an Olympic rower, and she keeps rowing, and that's why she even *has* a boathouse to begin with. I still wonder why Sean doesn't carry his gun, even if he has a license, though I love that his partner is his backup plan. They were wicked close to kissing on the show, so it'd be cool to see a continuation of if they had. Or if they have to go undercover as a married couple? seriously, one of my favorite tropes. It would also be really cool, if you wanted to stay away from any romance, how they started their partnership/business. How did she even know he could use a partner? How did he know he could deal with her as his partner? What were those first few weeks like? I get the impression that the show starts near the beginning of the partnership, but it's possible it's just the beginning of when they started to make money, or thought they should be, hence hiring Edger. |

| AlterEgon | Ben-Hur (1959) | Messala (Ben-Hur) | At the bottom of my heart, I'm rather cruel when it comes to my favorite characters, to the point where I sort my books by how badly mangled the characters in them get. If you happen to feel violent, please, by all means, go ahead and break them. Reversible damage, irreversible damage, graphic, un-graphic, detailed, vague, it's all fine with me. My specific fascination is less with damaging characters as such, but with the manner in which they deal with it afterwards. First off, I'm totally fine with either Messala and Judah having been 'just friends' in their youth or with them having been more. I can see either working our well. Now, if I could have a story set after the chariot race, where, like in the book, Messala survives (injured either the book- or the movie-way would be perfectly fine with me), that'd be pure bliss. If they could somehow reconcile, I'd be in seventh heaven. |

| AlterEgon | Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson | Long John Silver (Treasure Island - Stevenson) | At the bottom of my heart, I'm rather cruel when it comes to my favorite characters, to the point where I sort my books by how badly mangled the characters in them get. If you happen to feel violent, please, by all means, go ahead and break them. Reversible damage, irreversible damage, graphic, un-graphic, detailed, vague, it's all fine with me. My specific fascination is less with damaging characters as such, but with the manner in which they deal with it afterwards. Silver was one of those characters I loved pretty much from the moment I first met him. Anything Silver-centric is going to make me happy. Going by my love for "break'em and make them deal with it", I'd love to read about just after he lost his leg. Or anything else, really. His thoughts on some section of Treasure Island, how he met his wife, something between him and his wife, something set after Treasure Island, what he's doing with his stolen share of the treasure... anything, really. If you can, please give me the book-Silver, not a movie-Silver. Thank you! |

| AlterEgon | Moby Dick - Herman Melville | Captain Ahab | At the bottom of my heart, I'm rather cruel when it comes to my favorite characters, to the point where I sort my books by how badly mangled the characters in them get. If you happen to feel violent, please, by all means, go ahead and break them. Reversible damage, irreversible damage, graphic, un-graphic, detailed, vague, it's all fine with me. My specific fascination is less with damaging characters as such, but with the manner in which they deal with it afterwards. Captain Ahab is a character who I have basically been in love with ever since I first got my hands on a copy of Moby Dick at the age of eight. I made up one of my first fanfictions ever about that man, except that I didn't call them that at the time, of course. Gregory Peck plays the perfect Captain Ahab, as far as I'm concerned. So much potential there... I'd love to read about him after returning from his first encounter with Moby Dick, his recovery and return to sea. I'd be just as delighted about any glimpse of his onshore life, pre or post his first meeting with Moby Dick. If you manage to make me up an alternate universe in which he somehow survives the book — now that'd be something that would have me squee in joy for a long time. If you somehow manage to redeem this character, you might hear my squee all the way to wherever you are. |

| AlterEgon | Armageddon (1998) | Dan Truman | At the bottom of my heart, I'm rather cruel when it comes to my favorite characters, to the point where I sort my books by how badly mangled the characters in them get. If you happen to feel violent, please, by all means, go ahead and break them. Reversible damage, irreversible damage, graphic, un-graphic, detailed, vague, it's all fine with me. My specific fascination is less with damaging characters as such, but with the manner in which they deal with it afterwards. Out of all the characters in this movie, which I am severely addicted to, Dan Truman fascinates me the most. I'd love to hear something about his life before the movie. Maybe you can tell me how he ended up not going to space. What happened to him, back then? How did he deal? |
letter |
| AlterEgon | The High Chaparral | Manolito Montoya | Requested Character: Manolito Montoya At the bottom of my heart, I'm rather cruel when it comes to my favorite characters, to the point where I sort my books by how badly mangled the characters in them get. If you happen to feel violent, please, by all means, go ahead and break them. Reversible damage, irreversible damage, graphic, un-graphic, detailed, vague, it's all fine with me. My specific fascination is less with damaging characters as such, but with the manner in which they deal with it afterwards. I love Mano for more reasons than I can count. Or list. Love his first appearance stealing Big John's horse, his attitude towards pretty much everyone, including and especially the Apache, his relationship with the other regular characters, him preferring to be a cow hand for Big John to acting as his father's heir; his loyalty; his willingness to do what has to be done. If I wasn't madly in love with him before, I certainly was after Ride the Savage Land. The one thing I was a bit annoyed at at times were his squabbles with his father. Make him happy; make him sad; let me watch him during a day at work; what about his time in England?; show me his past in Europe or Mexico; his future; his childhood; a rodeo; something about his comanchero buddies; If you wish to use the Apache, I'd prefer them leaning towards the positive. I'm German, we have a thing for the Apache. It's genetic ;-). There's no character in the show that I loathe, so please pick your supporting characters to your own taste or according to what works with your story. Pick your supporting characters to your liking, there's no character I really despise in this show. And, well... if you can, you know... maybe give me a bit of h/c for him... that'd be wonderful. |

| alyoraShadow | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak, Buriram Tourakom | I love Tortal, and Raoul and Buri are my favorite unexplored mystery. I would love to see a fic about how they got together. A story that looked at their past or future would be fun, but I'd also really like to see something about what happened the night they actually got involved. Cameos from all our friends will of course be appreciated. | letter |
| alyoraShadow | Sevenwaters Trilogy - Juliet Marillier | Simon of Harrowfield | "There was a terrible irony in his story, for I feared the brother who had always wanted the land and authority for himself, who had always hated being second best, had found, once he was given the unexpected, the wonderful gift of Harrowfield for his own, that what he really wanted was something else entirely.” What more can I say? I'd love to read the story of Simon, before, after, and/or during the book. |
letter |
| alyoraShadow | Tigana - Guy Gavriel Kay | Alessan bar Valentin, Baerd bar Saevar | Alesssan and Baerd are the best! I'd love to see more about their friendship (I don't ship them, though). I'm especially interested in a pre-book fic (Alessan and Baerd on the road!) or a post-book fic that tries to tackle everyone's fate after seeing the Riselka. I like to stick to cannon pairings, but don't particularly adore Devon or Catrionna, so I wouldn't want a story primarily focused on them. | letter |
| alyoraShadow | The Fionavar Tapestry - Guy Gavriel Kay | Aileron dan Ailell, Diarmuid dan Ailell | I really love Aileron and Diarmuid separately and together, and would love to see more about their relationship. Scenes from their childhood, with both of them being incredibly precocious in entirely different ways would be especially awesome, but I'm also curious what happened as they got older and their relationship started to fray. Or elaborate on their relationship during the events of the trilogy. I don't like incredibly sad stories, so please don't make it all about Diarmuid's death, if you can possibly avoid it! | letter |
| alyse | Alice (2009) | Alice Hamilton Hatter (Alice) | I loved Alice when I first saw it, how much fun it was, how it took the children's story and made it something new, something wonderful and twisted but not out of true. But most of all I loved Alice and Hatter, how sweet they were together, how brave when they needed to be, and - especially - how Hatter grew because of Alice, so much so that he found the courage and the selflessness to follow her home. I would love anything in this world about the two of them, even if you don't ship them together. I would love a story set in the quiet places in the mini-series, the missing scenes, the things that weren't explored - exactly what was Hatter doing between them defeating the Queen and Alice returning home? Why did he change his mind and follow her? - or even post the mini-series - did they ever find a way back? Did they ever see The White Knight again or make a lasting kind of peace with Jack? How does Hatter adapt to Alice's world or do they ever go back and if so, why? I really do love the world building in this, so if you want to explore that further - the way in which Wonderland and the Real World are the same or different - that would be great :) |
letter |
| alyse | Blade (Movie Series) | Abigail Whistler (Blade), Hannibal King (Blade) | Blade: Trinity is one of the guilty pleasure movies of mine that I don't feel at all guilty about. It's glorious fun and I love Abigail. She's smart, strong and brave, and although she's very reserved and not given to showing much on the surface, you still get the impression that she feels things deeply. And I love, love, love her with Hannibal King. They complement each other so well, whether you treat their relationship as friendship, as more akin to siblings or — like me — ship it like woah! As for Hannibal King, what's not to love? He's snarky and crude and rude, but he's just as brave as Abigail, just as strong in different ways, and he's never less than entertaining even if there is more than the occasional hint throughout the movie of something deeper and broken lying just beneath the surface. While Abby and King are definitely my OTP in this fandom and I would love a story about the pair of them together if you could manage it, I really would be just as happy if you wrote gen, exploring their friendship and their partnership, kicking ass and taking names together. If you want to include any other of the Nightstalkers in the fic, please feel free - I didn't include them in the sign up simply to make the matching easier, and Abigail and King are my favourite characters, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't love something more team-related as well. And even Karen Jenson - I know she doesn't appear after the original movie, but again if you offered her and would like to write her interacting with the Nightstalkers, please feel free to include her :) My dear yulegoat letter has more details if you need them, but the only thing I would request is please no Drake/King. Female centric stories are very rare in this fandom and so this is my chance to get something a little different for Christmas :-). Thank you! |

| alyse | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | Oh, another happy place movie. I loved the over the top joy of this movie, how much unashamed fun it was and I have a huge fondness for that type of thing. I love the relationship between Hansel and Gretel, how it's them against the world. I don't mind if you write gen or - if you are that way inclined - a shippy fic (this is one of only two incest ships I have :D). I'd just like a story that's about them, doing what they do. Kicking witch ass and swapping wisecracks and (in Hansel's case) striking out with women. I don't mind if you want to include any of the other movie characters in the fic - I only selected those two characters because I'd like the fic to focus on them, not because I don't love the rest of the cast :). Pre-movie vignette or post movie adventure, it's all good with me. I'd just like more of this world, the one that's dark and dangerous and larger than life, and I want more of Hansel and Gretel, them against the world (and them, obviously, winning)! |
letter |
| alyse | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Phryne Fisher, Jack Robinson, Hugh Collins, Dorothy "Dot" Williams | God, I love this show. I fell hard for it when it first aired and I've read all of the books I could get my hands on (most of them, I think). The TV show in particular is my happy, happy, grinning all over my face place. I love all of the characters, Phryne being my absolute favourite and Jack a close second, but I also love Dot and Hugh, Cec and Burt, Mr Butler, Camelia and Lin Chung, even Phryne's Aunt Prudence, so please feel free to include any of them as you wish even if I'd like the fic to focus on the four characters I picked. I love how smart Phryne is, how fearless. I love the exchanges she has with Jack, including her matter of factness about her ability to take care of herself and disregard for the law when it hinders her doing what she wants to, and his exasperation with her. ("If a tree falls in a forest..." "You'll be somewhere close by, holding an axe.") I love the trust and the respect that they have for each other, the way that they spark off each other, and the obvious attraction that's flowering even more in season 2. I love Hugh and Dot's very sweet romance, and Dot and Phryne's friendship, the way that it inspires Dot to be braver than she ever thought possible. I love how *smart* Dot is, and how much Hugh is learning about how to become a policeman. I love Mr Butler's avuncular care of his charges, including Jane, and his unflappable ability to cope with his mistress's peculiarities, how much he respects her and looks up to her. I love Dr Mac, and the way she trusts Phryne and Phryne trusts her. I love Phryne's non-judgemental nature and her refusal to limit herself because of social norms. I love the way they're all so supportive of each other, a found family in every way, even with their occasional bickering, especially with Bert. Anything you write for me about these characters would be a joy. I love the two canon UST/relationships of Phryne and Jack, and Dot and Hugh, but gen is fine as is pretty much any other combination. I'd prefer het or femslash to slash, simply because I'm all about the female characters :) but other than that, have fun! |
letter |
| alyse | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Captain Frank Irving | I'm really enjoying this show so far. I love Ichabod's old world politeness but also the way that after the first few bumpy moments he's really embraced the fact that Abbie is an equal in all ways, that she's smart and focused and just as tough as he is in all of the ways that matter. I love how Abbie is slowly adapting to the idea that there is more to the world than the concrete that she's held so tightly to, that there are supernatural things afoot. I love her regret about her sister, the relationship she had with Sheriff Corbin, the fact that she's so smart and has started to become adaptable. I would love fic about the world that the show inhabits, whether that's more about Abbie and Ichabod's roles as Witnesses, introducing Ichabod to the 21st Century, or exploring just how much Irving knows or doesn't know - the man has secrets that he's not yet sharing, and he's not as sceptical of the whole thing as he should, by rights, be. Feel free to include the other characters if you like, and I don't mind if it's gen or het or anything else really. I'd prefer that the fic focus on the female characters, though, and no incest, please. Thanks :) |

| amalcolm | TV Commercials | The Most Interesting Man In the World (Dos Equis commercial), Mayhem (Allstate Insurance) | I really love both of these commercials. I found myself wondering what it would be like if the two met at a party and perhaps crashed it? Or what if some other commercial staple (I'm thinking possibly the two boneheads from the Sonic commercial) were in danger and needed rescuing and the two had to team up? I mean you have total and complete free range with this one. Just keep it light and airy. Nothing too dark. Feel free to include any other characters from other commercials, I really just want a laugh out of this. Bonus cookies if you can work the Geicho pothole in there somehow. |

| amalcolm | The Fugitive (TV) | Richard Kimble (Fugitive), Philip Gerard | orry I don't have a livejournal or a yuletide letter but be rest assured I am so easy to please. I am probably one of the very few who loves this old show and I really do love everything about it--the old-fashioned format (Act I-IV and Epilog!) the overly-suspenseful music and the often over/bad acting and proliferating sixties stereotypes. But with that said, I really am so fond of David Janssen and Barry Morse and the men they play. They have such a curious relationship--they really seem to respect one another while at the same time one is basically trying to kill the other. I mean I would take absolutely anything here. I have always been dissatisfied with the ending. Kimble finally clears his name and after being put through Hell for five years by Gerard it ends with a lame handshake? Um, no. I would love to see a new ending. Kimble walks away, Gerard feels guilty. Kimble punches Gerard/Gerard feels it was justified. The two skip away, hand-in-hand. If you wanted to slash them up, I'm okay with that but I really mean it when I say I would love you forever to see a 'Fugitive' fanfic. |

| amalcolm | Sherlock Holmes (US TV 1954) | Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes (US TV 1954)), John Watson (Sherlock Holmes (US TV 1954)), G. Lestrade (Sherlock Holmes (US TV 1954)) | Um, wow? I didn't even realize this show had been nominated. I love this show! Well, I love all interpretations of Holmes. Ronald Howard is adorable though I cannot help but think of Ashley Wilkes every time I see him. I love his chemistry with Marion Crawford. I forget who plays Lestrade but I recall he always seemed a bit too interested in both Holmes and Watson to me... Really anything is fine here. A mystery. Slash. Holmes being locked up again by Lestrade. Slash. Chemistry experiments. Slash. I think you get the picture. |

| amalcolm | Jonny Quest | Benton Quest, Race Bannon | Another of my sixties obsessions! Yeah, two decades before I was born but they really made some good telly back then. This has to be one of the best cartoons ever. All the cool gadgets, the violence, the monsters, the fact that two single men slept together in a one tent... Ahem. I have always sort of imagined that Race and Dr Quest had sort of a 'thing' going on that wasn't discussed but was quite obvious. If you could prove that to me through the process of print you would be my hero. If Jonny and/or Hadji want to appear, meh, I don't really mind, but I'd love to see something (maybe first time) between the doc and the bodyguard. |
letter |
| amalcolm | MacGyver (TV) | Murdoc (MacGyver) | Murdoc has always been a favorite of mine. I just love the unstable, obsessive way that Michael Des Barress plays him. Truthfully, as far as MacGyver goes, I can take or leave him, but I frequently re-watch the Murdoc episodes. I know, I have issues. I'm interested in his past. I would love to see child Murdoc or teen Murdoc. I would love to see how he developed his fear of snakes. If you must have MacGyver in there, the Halloween Knights episode where they work together is golden to me and I would love to see some other situation where they are forced together again. Slash is fine as well as long as no mention of the mullet is made. I try to ignore it when I watch the show. |

| Amand_r | The Rook - Daniel O'Malley | Myfanwy Thomas, Alrich (The Rook), Ingrid (The Rook), Ernst von Suchtlen | I like the plottyness of this book, and I really like the organization. I'd like to see more if it. | |
| Amand_r | Queen & Country | Tara Chace, Valerie Wallace | I don't follow the books as closely, so the 4 omnibuses would be the preferred text. | |
| Amand_r | Burn Notice | Michael Westen, Fiona Glenanne, Sam Axe, Jesse Porter | How much do I love the narration for this show? THIS MUCH. Also, I love the "Sam and Jesse" show. Mojitos. Beer. C4, taking care of business. The story arc about the burning and all that shit was never as fun as the weekly adventures in helping people, though. Have seen the completed series. |
|
| Amand_r | The Sopranos | Tony Soprano, Jennifer Melfi | Mmmmmmm. Symbolism. | |
| amaniacalherbtells | History Boys (2006) | Tom Irwin (History Boys 2006), Stuart Dakin (History Boys 2006) | nice not too angsty future fic would be great - maybe at oxford maybe beyond :) | letter |
| amaniacalherbtells | Whitechapel (TV) | Joseph Chandler, Emerson Kent | If going for a romantic route: awkward not-dates at the pub or something, chandler letting his guard down. Platonic route: helping calm chandler down after an ocd episode :) | letter |
| amaniacalherbtells | Frankenstein - Mary Shelley | Frankenstein's Monster (Frankenstein - Mary Shelley), Victor Frankenstein (Frankenstein - Mary Shelley) | haha - make it as messed up as you like just have them interacting further than they do in the book - maybe slash maybe not i don't care just mess with my head! ;) | letter |
| amaniacalherbtells | Hemlock Grove | Peter Rumancek, Roman Godfrey | Roman being a creepy upir in love with a werewolf! just roman being roman and obviously highly inappropriate etc | letter |
| amaniacalherbtells | Secret History - Donna Tartt | Henry Winter, Richard Papen | love of my life! introspection, thoughts on Richard as a newcomer? just Henry, Henry, Henry - oooh and Francis too. | letter |
| amaresu | Doctor Who: Unbound: He Jests At Scars (Big Finish Audio) | Melanie Bush, The Valeyard (Doctor Who) | I love the dynamic between these two in this story. I'd love a story about Melanie hunting down the Valeyard and how that changed her, or the Valeyard realizing that she's looking for him, maybe the moment he realizes that he's destroyed everything ever and how he deals with that and Melanie, or maybe just how they pass the time waiting, being very careful not to move. | letter |
| amaresu | Sword Art Online | I'd like something set during the Aincrad arc. I've read the translated light novels, so incorporating that would work as well. Kirito and Asuna are one of my favorite things ever. Something with them in the early days as they figure out how to work together when clearing a dungeon or something later after they get married and they work out their life. Klein: How he adapts and gets his friends through the initial days and becomes part of the clearing group. How he re-connects to Kirito eventually and their friendship. Silica, Lisbeth, Agil: Any sort of backstory for them. Perhaps side quests they go on or bizarre things they've encountered. |
letter | |
| amaresu | Hataraku Maou-Sama! | The Devil Is a Part-Timer! | I've only seen the anime and am basing my prompt on that. One of the things I really liked about this anime was all the bizarrely domestic moments. The way they'd eat dinner together or end up hanging out. I also really enjoy how they all like living on Earth better, but don't want to admit it, so anything along those lines. I also really love Alciel's budget and how he makes it work. That being said, if you want to go into a more dark!fic territory that would be fine as well. Particularly if you wanted to explore Emilia and Lucifer's relationship considering he killed her father and everyone she knew. |
letter | |
| amaresu | Ford Escape "The Heist" Commercial | I just want the story behind the commercial. Femslash if you want because they look very femslashy, but totally awesome best friends works too. Serious, funny, they go on to become professional art thieves, they are professional art thieves, just give me the story. | letter | |
| amaresu | Ghost Soup Infidel Blue | How was this the only Ghost Soup nominated? I didn't nominate a different version myself because I figured they would all be nominated. It's like only having one of those Kamen RIder or PreCure shows nominated. Well, what I want is some Orange. I know the audio drama isn't the most popular or easy to get ahold of, but it has Stacy. Who doesn't love Stacy? She's become completely necessary to my enjoyment of Ghost Soup. If you can't get the audio drama I know she shows up in parts of the Red manga, just ignore the bit about her being part fish from that. I have no idea what the writers were thinking. Also I love the space-elf worldbuilding that was done in Purple. |
letter | |
| amaresu | Continuum (TV) | Sonya Valentine, Kiera Cameron | onya is one of the most intriguing characters on the show to me. Did she join Liber8 before or after she broke Travis out of that place she was working? How does she react to the end of S2? What brought her to Liber8 and how did she get so high up the ladder? Sonya's capable of being quite ruthless and something about her personal history would be neat. Kiera, I love Kiera. I love her complete commitment to her goals and how, for the most part, the rest of history can go hang. She's got a son and she's going to see him again. At the same time she's no longer capable of just ignoring things any more, she can see the injustice and I don't think she'd be happy in the long run if she got home. So, anything about these competing aspects of her character would be nice. I also enjoy that these two have history. Kiera as part of the force that took Sonya in. Did they have any other encounters in the past? Building off the ending of S2 would be good as well if you want to deal with these two as they are. |

| amathela (Zhailei) | Avalon High (2010) | Allie Pennington | Okay, so: While I was watching this for the first time, I enjoyed it (mostly because of Britt Robertson's face, ngl), AND THEN THE ENDING HAPPENED AND IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS MOVIE 1000%. Basically this movie hit on some of my favourite tropes crazy hard (mythology adaptations! modern AUs! girls in armour!), and I really just want more of any of that. Things I would particularly love: Anything set post-movie. How does Allie deal with the revelation that she's actually King Arthur? Where does she go from here? I loved the last scene of the movie - the way the whole gang was together, the blending of their past and present identities - and I'd love anything that continues in that vein. Past lives! If you wanted to write me Arthurian mythology fic where Allie is the king and Miles is her wizard, etc. I would be so on board with that! MORE GIRLS IN ARMOUR, basically. And swordfighting. (There doesn't have to be swordfighting. But I would definitely enjoy it if that's the sort of thing you would like to write.) Identity porn. All the identity porn. Playing around with the characters' identities and histories would be seriously awesome, so go nuts with that. Or you could introduce other characters from Arthurian myth! More knights of the round table! Morgan le Fay! The Lady of the Lake! And who was Will, after all? Or cross the movie over with another Arthurian adaptation - I'd particularly love an Avalon High/Merlin crossover. Merlins being dorks together! Arthurs doing ... literally whatever you would like them to do! Allie totally hooking up with Morgana! ANYTHING ELSE EVER. This is true of all my requests, but seriously, feel free to go as trope-y as you like. Whatever you feel like writing, I will adore it! |
letter |
| amathela (Zhailei) | Miss Match | Kate Fox (Miss Match) | I love this fandom, and I would love any kind of fic written for it - gen or shippy, drama, comedy, crack, crossover, AU, whatever. I once posted a fandom primer [link: http://amathela.livejournal.com/80019.html] that mentions a bit about what I love about the show, which is, basically, all of the characters, all of the relationships, the fact that every episode contains its very own miniature romantic comedy, and, well, everything else. (Also: hanging out at the bar, Kate in matchmaking mode, first dates, blind dates, not-a-date dates, anything and everything where characters interact with each other. I'm fairly easy to please.) I'd particularly love anything in the style of the show - that is to say, something romantic comedy-ish - but I'd be just as happy to read something plotty, or dramatic, or smutty, or anything else you could possibly write. Things I would particularly love: Post-series fic where Adam keeps pursuing Kate, and where she (reluctantly) falls for him. I just really loved this storyline, and I'd love to see it play out - especially if their relationships with Michael stay intact. Nick/Victoria. Anything, anything involving Nick and Victoria. Hookups at the bar? Sexy roommates with benefits? Mutually being in denial about the fact they they're totally (still) dating? Yes, please! Kate and Victoria, awesome BFFs! Or Kate and Victoria, awesomely hooking up. Anything that reads vaguely like an episode of the show - feel free to make up your own couple(s) for Kate to matchmake, or a plotty court case for her to get involved in, or anything else you feel like writing. Crossovers are also totally welcome, though I'd prefer fandoms I'm familiar with. The Clueless fan in me would particularly love a crossover with Franklin & Bash (maybe Kate and Jared went to high school together??? and/or they meet on a divorce case?), and I've always really wanted a Psych crossover where blah blah blah legal stuff, and maybe Kate sets up Gus with ALL THE LADIES (or possibly with Shawn). But feel free to use your imagination (as long as the primary focus stays on Miss Match). |

| amathela (Zhailei) | The Dark Knight Legacy (Web Series) | Stephanie Brown (The Dark Knight Legacy), John Blake (The Dark Knight Legacy) | I came out of The Dark Knight Rises really wanting John Blake and Stephanie Brown to meet. AND THEN SOMEBODY MADE THIS AND IT'S LIKE IT WAS JUST FOR ME. I love the concept of Blake being Nightwing instead of jumping straight into replacing Batman, and the introduction of Red Hood and Penguin, and Steph being a cop - and since we won't be getting a continuation of the series, I desperately want to see what happens next. Things I would particularly love: What led to Steph deciding to be a cop? Is her father still Cluemaster? What happens when she has to go up against him, or Gotham's other villains? Do she and Nightwing work together, or do they sometimes end up clashing? How does Steph deal with the corruption running rampant in Gotham PD? I loved Dick Grayson: Cop in Nightwing, and Blake in The Dark Knight Rises, and I'd love to see Steph continuing that legacy. That said, I'd also super love it if she decided to do the vigilante thing. Does Batman need a Robin? A Batgirl? Does he decide to take up the mantle of Batman and pass Nightwing onto her? It seems like Blake knows Steph - has he served with her as a cop? Is he still leading a double life as a cop by day, vigilante by night? Were they in the academy together, or do they ever end up as partners? I'd also love, love, love to see the introduction of more comics characters. Cass! Oracle! Black Canary! Literally anybody would be fantastic, and I'd love to see a different take on comics characters, or how they could fit into the Dark Knight universe. |
letter |
| amathela (Zhailei) | Batgirl (Comics) | Stephanie Brown (Batgirl) | tephanie Brown is the comics character of my heart, and basically what I want is anything about her ever. I love everything about her, from her self-deprecating sense of humour to her constant struggle with gravity to the way she's still atoning for the past to her love of waffles. And I really, really love the way she finally grows into herself as a hero as Batgirl and has the confidence to own the mantle, even if she's not perfect and knows she still has a lot to learn. BUT SERIOUSLY SHE IS SO GREAT, AND I WANT ANYTHING WHERE SHE IS GREAT. Things I would particularly love: The Continuing Adventures of Batgirl. Basically anything set during or after Steph's Batgirl run, especially anything that expanded on any of the future possibilities presented in the final few pages of the last issue. Team ups! Whether canonical or not, I'd love to see Steph interacting as part of a team - in particular, a team full of awesome people who like her and aren't jerks. Or teaming up with pretty much anyone else from the DC universe - you can check my comics tag [link: http://amathela.livejournal.com/tag/comics] for characters/titles I'm familiar with, though I have at least a passing familiarity with most of the post-crisis universe. I've always thought Steph and Dick had a lot in common; I love reading pretty much anything where they interact, and Dick/Steph is the (not so) secret pairing of my heart. Did they run into each other again/teamed up together while he was Batman? Or after he went back to being Nightwing - if you want to pretend the cancellation and/or reboot never happened and Steph is still totally Batgirl, I will live with you in that universe. Dirtybadwrong Bruce/Steph d/s fic. (I blame the schoolgirl outfit from Leviathan Strikes, honestly.) Or Bruce&Steph genfic, because I always loved the few times they teamed up in canon, and because I really just want him to approve of and be nice to her and not be a complete jerk. Or just more Leviathan Strikes fic! I want to live in the world where Steph is a super secret undercover spy in an all-girls boarding school that's actually a secret assassin training facility. (Honestly, who doesn't?) I really enjoyed Steph's flirtation with Detective Gage in Batgirl, so anything about that, set during or post-Batgirl, would be amazing. I wasn't a fan of the love triangle aspect of it, though, so please ignore that part. AUs! I want to read about the universe where Steph is a Green Lantern! Or the one where she's Nightwing. Or where the reboot never happened. Or where Steph still exists in the New 52. Or pretty much anything else! <3 Adorable domestic Batfamily shenanigans that include Cass and Steph. |
letter |
| amathela (Zhailei) | The Ravagers (Comics) | Rose Wilson (Ravagers) | Rose is another of my very favourite comics characters ever - I guess I have a thing for blondes with supervillain dads who nobody really believes can or should be superheroes. I love her attitude and her general badassery and the way she's combative and rage-y and sometimes struggles with being a superhero. I love how she flirts with basically everyone. I love how she started off as a bad guy trying to be her dad, and, yeah, sometimes she has a hard time not killing people. But she's trying. And, okay, so: I know Rose was super messed up and not really herself during the whole 'trying to be her dad' era, but HER EYE <3 <3 <3 I KNOW IT'S MESSED UP BUT IT'S POSSIBLY MY FAVOURITE THING ABOUT HER. Because she's a badass and she has a ridiculous family background and she's super messed up because of it, and all of that is so integral to who she is and I love every bit of it. Things I would particularly love: I'd love anything with the Teen Titans (or teaming up with Damian again, because they make such a fantastic team, adorable angry ex-assassins represent!). In particular, I also love the whole team in its various incarnations, so ensemble fic would be amazing also, as would pretty much anything where Rose fights crime or does anything ever. I loved the Renegade arc in Nightwing when he was training her, and her super fun objectification of him (because, come on, Dick Grayson) and him inspiring her to question her father and be a better person. I'd love to read either anything from that timeframe, or a later reunion between them. Or an AU - maybe a universe where Rose became Dick's sidekick partner? Where she never joined the Teen Titans, or ended up leading them? Where she's part of the Batfamily, or a member of an entirely different team? I'd also love to read about Rose's time as part of the Terror Titans or the Ravagers. I found the Terror Titans really interesting, and thought the Ravagers premise had a lot of potential (including Thunder and Lightning and their incestuous co-dependent relationship), and I'd love to see either of those expanded on. I loved Rose's budding friendship/relationship/whatever with Kon towards the end of Teen Titans, so if you wanted to explore more of that relationship (preferably with makeouts), or even just have them interact at all, I would be 100% okay with that. HE GAVE HER THE KEY TO HIS HEART KILLING HIM. |
letter |
| amathela (Zhailei) | Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV) | Amy Santiago, Jake Peralta | Favourite new show! I'm so in love with this show, from the humour to the characters to the relationships between them. Most of all, I love Santiago and Peralta, and the blend of flirty/friendly/competitive/antagonistic partnership we got between them, especially in the pilot. (Basically, I need Detective Terrible Detective in my life <3) I'd love ensemble fic as well as something featuring just the two of them, and while I'm not expecting comedy fic, I'd prefer something humorous or at least lighthearted in keeping with the tone of the show. Things I would particularly love: The continuation or culmination of the bet between them. What if they tie? How far are either of them willing to go to pull ahead? What happens once one of them wins - will Santiago be going home in a new car, or will Peralta get that date after all? (And is Gina's prediction of some 'over the clothes action' accurate?) Casefic! I'd love to see what kind of shenanigans they get up to while working a case together (or working competing cases, or separate cases that somehow turn out to be linked). Anything ever where they hook up. Or pretend to hook up - maybe they have to go undercover as a couple? Or Peralta screws up and they get trapped somewhere and (eventually) pass the time by making out? Or the fic where they're secretly hooking up and trying to hide it (and maybe everybody around the precinct already knows, but they play along anyway). General shenanigans around the precinct, featuring the extended cast or not. How do they celebrate somebody's birthday, or participate in more community outreach programs, or pass the time on neverending overtime shifts? (With a healthy dose of wacky hijinks, I'll bet.) What other traditions, rules, or games did they have before Captain Holt came on board? How do they try to continue/resurrect/adapt them? |
letter |
| Amazing_E_ko | The Scar - China Miéville | Bellis Coldwine, Uther Doul | More to follow in my letter, but let me give you an idea: Anything about Uther's history - his journey from High Cromlech to Armada and all the places he passed along the way. When did he first learn to play probabilities, and what did they mean to him? Bellis after Armada - what did she do with herself? Was she ever able to fit comfortably into New Crobuzon again? Uther and Bellis - the future is a different country, they do things differently there. Uther and Bellis meet in New Crobuzon, a number of years after the events of The Scar. Uther and Bellis - if Uther really was playing the probabilities, he must have seen or thought of thousands of possible Bellises. Did he ever wish things had gone differently? Was he lured by what changed about her across different timelines, or by what stayed the same? Or you could totally ignore Bellis and Uther and dive into the worldbuilding of Bas Lag. One thing I adore about the series is how much of the world is referenced - mentioned but never brought up again. You could write anything, about any character in any era, from one of the Malarial Queens to a normal person and their daily life on Armada, and I would love it. You could write a diary, a poem, an encyclopaedia, anything at all. |
letter |
| Amazing_E_ko | Darker Than BLACK | Hei (Darker Than BLACK), November 11, Kirihara Misaki, Yin (Darker Than BLACK) | Oh man there are so many stories that I would like for this fandom! If you want to write fic where November 11 survives, then I would adore you. I never expected to love him so much, but he is my favourite character. And if you like him with Misaki, then I agree that they are a totally cute couple and no ship fic for them could be wrong. Or you could write about November 11's backstory - who was he before he was a contractor? How did he change? What emotions were seething under his contractor facade? Hei/Misaki is another favourite ship of mine, and if you wanted to think about their relationship post finale I would adore that. Maybe they're brought back into contact by a mutual desire to take down the Syndicate? Hei and Yin as brother and sister are adorable to me, though I don't ship them. I would love to see them working as a team, whether that's during the series or after, and watch them supporting each other. Yin on her own is great too - I do love her friendship with Kiko, and how cute is it that she gets into anime? Character development for her would be much appreciated, whatever the form. And whatever you do, by all means avoid using season 2, because I haven't seen it and am (mostly) content with season 1. :D |
letter |
| Amazing_E_ko | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Marquis de Carabas (Neverwhere), Richard Mayhew, Door (Neverwhere) | More to follow in my letter, but let me give you an idea: I basically want future fic. I don't mind who the characters are - whether it's the Marquis, or Richard, or Door, or Richard/Door - but I'd love to see more of the redevelopment of London Below. How did Islington's death affect the city? Did Door reclaim her power? Did she find her sister? How did she and Richard make it work, if they did? I would also love to read about other cities Below - Dublin Below would be my favourite, but Calcutta or Seoul or Tokyo or Madrid or Paris or Venice or really anywhere would be ok. It could involve a delegation from London Below, with our heroes grouching and grumbling but doing their best anyway, or it could be totally OC focused. I would be happy either way. |
letter |
| Amazing_E_ko | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman | Lyra Belacqua, Serafina Pekkala, Mary Malone, Will Parry | More to follow in my letter, but let me give you an idea: Future fic is always a favourite with me for this fandom. You can get Will and Lyra back together if you want, or you can keep them apart if you prefer noble suffering, and I will be happy either way. What I mostly would like to read about is the the process of building the Republic of Heaven, and how all these different characters strive to do that in their own ways. A conversation between Serafina and Mary, perhaps many years later, would also be very sweet and touching. Hahaha OK let's be real here, the potential for worldbuilding in HDM is so amazing. How can I pass up the opportunity to request fic of it. There's so much I want to know about Lyra's world! How do daemons affect the arts? Do some great stories have very different endings because the daemons are there? What would Pride and Prejudice be like with daemons? Or Jane Eyre? Or Shakespeare? Are plays different when the actors have daemons? Is there a standard daemon for the famous figures - does Macbeth always have a wolf, does King Lear always have a bear? What is Critical Theory like with daemons? What about historical figures? I would read the shit out of encyclopaedia entries about famous people and their daemons? You could all or any of this into a story about Lyra, or you could present it on its own - I would be ecstatic either way. |

| amberspyglass | Sleep No More - Punchdrunk | Like so many other people, I had my life changed by seeing this in New York earlier this year. I am not actually as interested in the characters or the Shakespeare framing story so much as I am interested in the physical setting and the experience of moving through this real-but-unreal space. Due to the psychological place I happened to be in on the day I saw the show, I actually avoided the big set pieces and mostly just explored the hotel in fascinated, terrified silence. I would love a story that focuses on the minute details of the rooms, and the process of moving physically and psychologically through this threatening-but-at-the-same-time-inviting artificial world. I would especially dig a story that respects the fractured and unstable nature of the SNM 'narrative', and/or the strange porous distinction between the 'characters' of the story and the ghostly 'audience'. In fact, that aspect of it interests me so much that I would be delighted to see that sort of question shifted into another genre or setting, so I invite you, if you like, to bring the SNM atmosphere to another world, like a ship or a Borgesian library or whatever you can think of. You are an amazing person for offering this fandom and I will be thrilled and humbled by whatever you write. | ||
| amberspyglass | XCom: Enemy Unknown (game) | Soldier (XCom) | I loved the badass, multicultural cast in this game, and even though we got literally no backstories for anyone or cutscenes about their day-to-day lives, something just seemed so vivid about this setting to me -- it's funny that such a grid-based tactical game could feel so rich in stories! Why not tell me about a dangerous mission they're on, or something that happens on-base between missions. The setting is really bleak but the soldiers seem to have this OKAY, LET'S DO THIS attitude that I just love. Though I don't mind violence in your story, I think what I'm really looking for here is a way for people to be awesome in a hopeless and frightening situation. Sex in just about any configuration is A-OK, though by no means necessary to a terrific story. I don't want to see torture or sadistic cruelty toward anyone, including the aliens please. I would enjoy a cameo by one or more of the canonical characters, particularly Dr. Vahlen, whom I find really interesting... but I think my heart really lies with those front-line soldiers, especially the women and the POC's. Show me what they can do! |
|
| amberspyglass | 15th Century CE RPF | Sandro Botticelli (15th Century CE RPF), Girolamo Savonarola (15th Century CE RPF) | I actually don't know that much about Botticelli's RL biography, but OH MY GOD do I ever love his work -- the Cestello Annunciation is my favourite painting of all time. I am intrigued by his relationship with Savonarola and what seems to be some religious and sexual confusion, which I would love to see you explore in whatever way you see fit. I get off on religious torment, and seeing that play out in Botticelli's relationship to his work would give me shivers of joy. If you want to keep Savonarola in the background or deal with him only obliquely, that's totally fine -- my main interest here is in Botticelli's unbelievably beautiful art, and the tension between Christianity and 'paganism' (loosely defined) in his paintings and perhaps also in his relationships outside the studio. If it matters for your worldbuilding, my favourite paintings of Botticelli's are the aforementioned Annunciation, the 1475 Adoration (with that stunning self-portrait), Pallas and the Centaur, and Venus and Mars, but I heartily encourage you to use whatever paintings serve as the best backdrop for the story you want to tell. |
|
| amberspyglass | どうぶつの森 | Animal Crossing Series | Shizue | Isabelle, Able Sisters | Call me crazy, but I actually detect a profound melancholy in this game -- something seems so lonely about these animal characters, and though I love the game, its sweetness has a sad edge to it for me. I am not actually all that picky about characters and would welcome a story about almost anyone who seems to have a backstory tinged with exile or rejection (Redd? Gracie? KK?). The reason I put Isabelle and the Able Sisters in my formal request is that these characters seem to be the most isolated and lost and are thus the most interesting to me. Isabelle, who never stops working and doesn't even have a house, seems so fragile to me, and I can't tell whether her sycophantic devotion to the Mayor is genuine or driven by some kind of neurotic desperation. (And what is the deal with her distant relationship with her twin?!) Along similar lines, I am fascinated by the weirdly tense relationships among the Able Sisters, especially in New Leaf, where Label(le) returns from the big city (!) but is pointedly kept in a different room from Sable and Mabel (!!) -- there are allusions to an argument, and even now they scarcely ever refer to each other. I always liked the way Sable slowly opens up to the player over the course of the game, and she may well be my favourite character in the whole series, but even at her most kind and open she seems to be in some sort of detente with Label(le), and her workaholism strikes me as a symptom of something maybe a bit darker. Your story doesn't have to be full-on angst (though it can be!); I just think it'd be neat to shift the attention away from the player/mayor long enough to see what the animal characters are going through and to take their strange, tense little stories on their own terms. |

| ambyr | Darkborn Trilogy - Alison Sinclair | Telmaine Hearne | I am an unrepentant Telmaine/Balthasar/Ishmael/Floria shipper. So if you want to write poly dynamics, great. If you don't, no worries, I love Telmaine just as much in any other context, whether it's navigating Darkborn high society or saving the world or just staying home with her kids. I have a sneaking fondness for her mother, so Telmaine family fic could be neat. In general, I'm fascinated with Sinclair's worldbuilding, particularly Lightborn/Darkborn relations and the technology. Anything that plays with that would be cool. One request: please don't explicitly break up Telmaine's marriage. | letter |
| ambyr | Long Price Quartet - Daniel Abraham | Idaan Machi, Cehmai Tyan | I really love their dynamic in canon, how they're two people who had this manipulative, unequal thing when they were young, both committed atrocities, and then in the process of trying to atone and forgive themselves found something genuine with each other after all in their middle age. I would love a story about how they got together, or a glimpse at their life as a couple at any point before, during, or after The Price of Spring. If you want to go the backstory route instead and do something pre-A Betrayal in Winter, that's fine, too. | letter |
| ambyr | Coldfire Trilogy - C. S. Friedman | Ciani of Faraday | I would love backstory or future story, here. Who was Ciani before Damien came into the picture? What sorts of jobs has she taken as loremaster? What was her childhood as an adept like? What's her life among the rakh like? How does she handle the loss of her working abilities after the climax of Crown of Shadows? Does she ever make it back to Jaggonath? | letter |
| ambyr | Thousand Worlds Milieu — George R.R. Martin | Gwen Delvano | I'd love to hear about Gwen's studies at the Institute on Avalon, her early experiences with High Kavalar culture, or her general work as an ecologist (female scientists are cool!). I've read other Thousand Worlds stories, so borrowing places or characters from elsewhere in the milieu would be fine by me. I do like poly relationship structures, so if you want to look at how she adapted to High Kavalar's version that could be interesting, but I am also very happy with gen. (Maybe something about how she got to know other High Kavalar women?) | letter |
| amessofadreamer | Kagerou (Webcomic) | Heyoka Jones, Kano Jurgen | I love how intrinsically fucked up Heyoka's relationship with Kano and his alters is, and I'd like to see that explored more, however you'd like to do it; Heyoka dealing with Kano after he loses some time? Heyoka trying to explain Kano's alters and their behavior to him? Heyoka coping with an extended stay with Kid? Has she ever met Dark, or Red (before the implied canon meeting), and if so how did she deal with them? Or somse kind of combination of the above, whatever. | |
| amessofadreamer | xkcd 1190 (Time) | Give me all the worldbuilding fic! I'd like to see more exploration of any of the three cultures presented in the strip: the main characters' lives on the beach or how they rebuilt their community after escaping the flood; more about the people in the castle, and what they know and what happened to them after the main characters left; what happened with the people in the hills. Or some kind of backstory: how did all that knowledge get lost? Why don't the main characters know of any people beyond the people in the hills? Why does the main characters' group feud with the people in the hills? Basically anything that explores more of this world would make me really happy. | ||
| amessofadreamer | Smart Guy | Morris L. 'Mo' Tibbs, Yvette Henderson | Yes, I ship Mo/Yvette, and that's the main reason I've requested it. Either canon-era, with all the mismatching that entails, or future fic where they've grown up and are a little more on the same emotional level would be great. I love their dynamic; Mo's not that bright and Yvette's not that understanding, but at moments they really connect and get each other in a way other people don't. Mo can be really sexist, but he also clearly respects Yvette and admires her, and I'd like to see that developed more. If you're not feeling the ship, I'd also like to see more about any kind of relationship between them, either friendly, familial (Mo kind of is the fourth Henderson kid), or antagonistic. | |
| amessofadreamer | Dancing on Dangerous Ground - Butler/Dunne | More development of any of the three main characters would be great. The show is based on the Irish myth of the pursuit of Diarmuid and Gráinne, but it's very different in a lot of ways, and I'd like to see more exploration of the significance of those changes. Particularly the ending; did Cormac make any attempt to stop the pursuit of Diarmuid? If he didn't, would Finn have been willing to listen but couldn't back down without some kind of concession? If he did, why didn't Finn listen? And what was Grania's relationship with Finn like, anyway? She doesn't seem unhappy with him until she meets Diarmuid and falls in love. I'd also love to see Diarmuid's perspective on the whole mess, and his torn feelings between his loyalty to Finn and his love of Grania. | ||
| Amethyst | Fanny Whittington - Lashings of Ginger Beer Time (pantomime) | I would be delighted to read a story about any of the characters, whether nominated or not. A few ideas.... What adventures did Fanny and Basil have on the way to London? Fanny and Ali some point in the future, being simultaneously cute and romantic and also political, plotting some kind of campaign while snuggling and flirting. Anything with rats bickering Osbourne after the end of the story |
letter | |
| Amethyst | Ulysses Dies at Dawn (Album) | Again, I'd be really happy to see stories about any of the characters. The thing I love most about the Mechanisms is the way they bring different worlds together, in this case Greek mythology with dystopian cyberpunk future, and translate one into the context of the other in interesting ways. I particularly love the little details, the passing references to familiar stories, and the way they twist those stories into something new. | letter | |
| Amethyst | Penny and Aggie (webcomic) | I have a lot of love for Penny and Aggie and was disappointed when it ended, and Quiltbag Comics never quite lived up to expectations. I love the detail in which the characters are drawn (literally and figuratively), the foreshadowing and references back to things that happened earlier in the story, the complexity of the storylines, and the power struggles. For some reason I love reading about power struggles, especially when you can root for both sides. I could only nominate 4 characters but I love them all, so write about whoever interests you most! Having said I love the complex storylines, that's not something I'd expect you to reproduce for Yuletide, unless you happen to have a lot of time on your hands. Stuff that would be interesting to read about in fic could be .... one character's introspections on events, perhaps a character whose perspective didn't get explored in the comic, Conversations about bisexuality (lots of characters seem to be attracted to people of various genders but none of them uses that label and Lisa and Cyndi explicitly reject the label. Why?) Any kind of power struggle story involving any of Penny, Aggie, Karen, Cyndi Sara being cynical about stuff. Because Sara is great. |

| Amethyst | Suzanne - Leonard Cohen (Song) | Narrator (Suzanne), Suzanne (Suzanne) | God, I love this song. Favourite lines are: "You know that she's half crazy/ But that's why you want to be there," and "You want to travel with her/ And you want to travel blind/ And you know that you will trust her/ For she's touched your perfect body with her mind." I'm really interested in the idea of what it means to trust someone who is crazy. Speaking as someone who experiences mental health problems myself, I associate "crazy" with unstable, unpredictable, unreliable - all things you'd think would make you less likely to trust someone. And yet the song suggests that there can be a trust that goes beyond that, grounded in something deeper, and I'm fascinated by that idea. I don't really get what the Jesus verse is about to be honest but if you have ideas about that you want to explore I'd be interested to read interpretations. |

| Amilyn | Silk Stalkings | Rita Lee Lance, Chris Lorenzo | I'd love to read Rita and Chris facing a typical 80s story dice/trope plot (temporarily blind/paralyzed OR The Hostage Situation OR chained together and running for their lives, OR stranded far from civilization and have to find a way home, or the like). I love them for their banter, for how Rita's the smart one, for how they're best friends. They're FUN, and that's what I love to see come through in a story. Any other characters as desired or needed (Donnie Dogs and Lipschitz are always fun, but use whomever works best for you), just...Chris and Rita being FUN and clever and working in unison. | letter |
| Amilyn | Jericho (US 2006) | Allison Hawkins, Gail Green | By the time Rob is granted asylum in Texas, Allison knows how much she is like her father. She doesn't know how much she is like Gail Green, nor does Gail know the details of what so much of her family died defending. | letter |
| Amilyn | Sarah Jane Smith (Big Finish Audio) | Sarah Jane Smith (BF Audio), Nat Redfern | h and Nat have to pretend to be married in the suburbs or are both held hostage. I love tropes, I do. Sarah and Nat just going out for tea and discussing life will make me happy, though. Or Sarah having Nat over for tea on Bannerman Lane to meet her *new* entourage. | letter |
| Amilyn | Sarah Jane Adventures | Sarah Jane Smith (SJA) | In my head the Big Finish fits into this continuity. But really...anything focusing on Sarah being intrepid investigative reporter would be great. I'd actually love to see a montage of clips of what made Sarah become known as the "Mad Woman of Bannerman Lane" ...back when she was still brittle and abrupt and ignored her neighbors before being with the kids "civilised" her a bit. | letter |
| Amilyn | Birds of Prey (Comic) | Barbara Gordon (Birds of Prey), Dinah Laurel, Lance (Birds of Prey) | I'd love to see Barbara being the one on the ground for an op, having to rely on someone else to have all the intel. But anything with Barbara as the focus and saving the day--preferably getting out of the Clock Tower to do it--would be great. I'd really like to see Dinah finding out that Barbara's negative response to "Can you walk?" in "Hunt for Oracle" was not due to the gunshot wound; canon flitted right past that. Always, always, I love good old 80s story tropes (pretending to be married in the suburbs OR The Hostage Situation OR stranded far from civilization and have to find a way home, etc.). **Most of all what I love about Barbara Gordon is her resourcefulness, and her determination, and her all-out CUSSEDNESS. I like that she WILL DO anything she puts her (considerably awesome) mind to, no matter how "hard" or even "impossible" it is. THAT is what I would love to see, first and foremost.** |

| Amy | Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle | Vicky Austin, Suzy Austin, Charles Wallace Murry | In THE MOON BY NIGHT, during the road trip, Suzy crankily asks her brother if he could tesser them, and Vicky thinks "It would have been nice if he could have, like Meg and Charles Wallace Murry, but that, as Kipling would say, is another story." But in that very book, Vicky and Suzy and John meet Zach, who in AN ACCEPTABLE TIME visited the star-watching rock. Later (RING OF ENDLESS LIGHT, TROUBLING A STAR) they meet Adam, who worked with Meg and Calvin (ARM OF THE STARFISH), and Canon Tallis (THE YOUNG UNICORNS), who's one of their closest allies. There are some ways to fanwank this, of course, but for the sake of this Yuletide request, let's assume Suzy and Vicky have read A WRINKLE IN TIME, but at the same time, they live in the same world as Meg and Calvin and Charles Wallace. What does this mean? What is the paradox and how does it work? Is Madeleine L'Engle a pen name for Mrs. Whatsit? What happens if Vicky or Suzy met Calvin or Meg? I listed my preferred characters as Suzy, Vicky, and Charles Wallace in the hopes that this would guarantee you're familiar with the necessary source texts, but don't feel like you need to include all of them, or even any of them. I'm quite happy with any of the characters (listed in this category or not, even), as long as the story in some way explores that meta conundrum. There are enough bits and pieces of canon that cross over that virtually everyone in the L'Engleverse has some ties to both Kairos and Chronos. If you want your story to deal with, say, Emily and Dave (I LOVE EMILY AND DAVE), or with Dr. Louise Colubra, I'd be just as delighted. |

| Amy | Lumatere Chronicles - Melina Marchetta | Isaboe (Lumatere Chronicles) | (Yuletide writer, if you haven't read the Lumatere novels but you don't like the prompt in the fandom you have read, THIS HAS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK. Go, read that, then come back to this.) One of the things I love best about this series is that, as much as Evanjalin is a role Isaboe plays, Isaboe could not accomplish some of the things Evanjalin does, and Evanjalin could not do the things Isaboe does. Evanjalin isn't just a necessary alias to keep people from knowing Isaboe is alive; as a Mont and a Novice, she means something different to the people of Lumatere than the Queen does. (Think about how different the Future of Lumatere is when represented by Evanjalin than by Isaboe.) And Evanjalin and Isaboe, despite being one person, have very different types of power within the narrative. Basically, I'm hoping for a story about identity, that explores the multiple characters that make up one person in a very different way than Quintana's make up hers. |

| Amy | The Muppet Show | In The Muppet Movie, Robin asks Kermit "is this how the Muppets really got started?" and Kermit replies, "it's sort of approximately how it happened." That basically sums up my point of view on the Muppets: the Muppets are actors, who happen to have written and produced movies and TV specials in which they play exaggerated versions of themselves. To me, each Muppet movie is a consciously-created theatrical imagining of an event, written by and directed by and starring the Muppets. While Kermit and Fozzie and Piggy may be playing characters named Kermit and Fozzie and Piggy, it's kind of like how Neil Patrick Harris plays "Neil Patrick Harris" in Harold & Kumar- he may have things in common with himself, but it's not HIM. To me, Muppets' behavior on The Muppet Show is the closest to "reality" in the canon. Their behavior on stage, even when it's ridiculous, is on some level staged for an audience, but the backstage antics are closer to the level of reality that, say, reality TV has achieved- real personalities showing through from overly dramatic, possibly staged events. My ideal Yuletide story would be one that results from that level of pseudo-reality, which acknowledges the Muppets are actors but also that by very nature of their selves they are acting as a version of themselves. Essentially, I want Muppet RPF: stories about the Muppets as "actors" behind the scenes. (NO PUPPETEERS, PLEASE. THAT'S CREEPY.) I would love a story where, for example, Sweetums is upset that he has to constantly antagonize his BFF Robin while acting in THE MUPPET FROG PRINCE, or where Gonzo is very worried that his family will be offended by the plot of MUPPETS FROM SPACE. In short (yeah, I know, too late), I'm fascinated by the weird liminal space the Muppets inhabit between fictionality and reality, and I'd love if you could play with that. And if you don't want to do that, I'd also love a crossover with any of my fandoms. |

| Amy | Sesame Street (TV) | Cookie Monster | This season, they're doing a whole thing about teaching Cookie Monster patience. Well, this is fandom. We don't practice restraint here. This request can either be hurt/comfort (he was denied cookies, BUT NOW HE HAS COOKIES AND THEY ARE DELICIOUS) or just straight up blissful enjoyment of his cookies with no one standing in his way. The important thing is that, as a monster whose very existence is dedicated to cookies, Cookie Monster should not be denied them just to teach kids a valuable lesson. It's cruel and unusual Muppet abuse. If that doesn't work for you, see my Muppet Show prompt, but substitute in confusion of the Muppet monsters all essentially being teachers who are playing the roles of young children to model behavior for their young child audiences. Or are they? Do Muppets age like humans do? What are they like when the cameras aren't rolling? (Cookie Monster definitely isn't necessary for this one; I feel it would be more interesting with Grover or Big Bird or Ernie and Bert. Ooh, or Snuffy- did people know he was real before the show revealed it? Or was he lonely all the time off-stage too? Oh, my own prompt is making me sad.) Please nothing sexually or violently graphic for this; adulthood means more than smoking and fucking, and I'd much rather see the dichotomy of being childlike with children but not being a child in the same way, particularly as the children they work with grow up and they stay static. |

| Amy | A-Babies Vs. X-Babies | Bucky Bear | I want all the stories about Bucky Bear. ALL OF THEM. Whatever story you would like to tell about him would be lovely. That doesn't mean he has to be the POV character. I mean, he can be, whether you choose to go the Velveteen Rabbit route, the Christmas Toy route, or the Very Secret Undercover Mission He Was Never A Toy To Begin With one. But he can also just be the device any of the other characters uses to express their feelings more thoroughly than they could with another person. ABvXB verse or the greater Marvel 616, I don't care. Hell, feel free to bring him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or into any other fandom crossover that I seem to have at least a passing understanding of. (I know Lisa from Don Freeman's CORDUROY has a strong desire for a bear friend...) I have a particular fondness for female characters, but I'm happy with pretty much anyone you throw at Bucky Bear. My one really specific request: he's a toy bear. No higher than PG for this one, please. |

| Amy | Marvel Avengers Movies RPF | Scarlett Johansson (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF) | carlett's drawn the shortest of sticks in the MCU, at least when it comes to publicity; by all accounts she's part of the team in acting (THEY ARE ALL SUCH DORKS I LOVE THEM), but in interviews she gets the token chick questions about diet or about being the only girl. She is an awesome, multi-faceted actress playing an awesome, multi-faceted character, and it seems like the people she works with recognize that. It's just that the press doesn't. I'd love a story about Scarlett (and, if the mood strikes you, maybe Natalie Portman and/or Gwyneth Paltrow and/or Kat Dennings and/or WHOEVER- this seems like an excellent time to note that in VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA she co-starred with Rebecca Hall, who plays Maya Hansen in IM3) navigating being a woman in a supposedly male field, who is breaking all these barriers but still keeps getting seen as the love interest, even when, well, these aren't kissing stories; they've got shit to avenge. One of the things I love about these movies is that the actresses involved are clearly aware of the political ramifications of what they're doing, and they are consciously making a difference. And even if the press isn't going to give the ladies behind the ladies of the MCU their due, well, that's why RPF exists, right? (I would certainly not say no to an AU where the actresses themselves are superheroes actually changing the world, btw. But real life stuff is equally loved, because they're changing the world doing what they're doing as much as they would be if they were actually assassins and scientists and CEOs. &LADIES;) If you offered "any" and are horrified to see I just requested women, I find Scarlett's BroTP with Chris Evans delightful as well. SO MANY MOVIES TOGETHER. SO ADORABLE. |

| amyfortuna | Outcast - Rosemary Sutcliff | Beric (Outcast), Justinius (Outcast), Jason (Outcast) | I would love to see a father-son type relationship between Beric and Justinius, with loads and loads of comfort for Beric after the massive hurt inflicted on him throughout the entire book. And if you would like to give me slash, I would LOVE some Beric/Jason, even if it's just whispered feels and cuddling for warmth. Put both of these elements in the same story and if you hear a joyful scream on Christmas Day, that will be me. | letter |
| amyfortuna | Sword at Sunset - Rosemary Sutcliff | Levin (Sword at Sunset), Gault (Sword at Sunset), Minnow son of Flavian (Sword At Sunset), Flavian (Sword At Sunset) | For Gault/Levin: I just need more Levin/Gault, please! I'd love a happy story - maybe the story of how they got together for the first time, or a quiet evening by themselves. Maybe what were they talking about when Artos noticed them that evening, or a story about them accomplishing something together - saving each other's lives or something like that. For Flavian and the Minnow: There's pretty much just one thing I want from these two characters - I want to see Flavian hand the dolphin ring over. Although, it would be nice to have loads of background setting it all up (and it would be great to see Teleri and other characters in there) - these of course will be Flavian's last words to his son, and he knows it, so I would love it to be a culmination of a loving father-son relationship. |

| anabel | The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman | Elizabeth Hempstock | What we learned about Liza made me curious to know more. I'd really like to read backstory or worldbuilding in this fandom centred around her. Is she telling the truth about being a witch? What was her life like before she was put to death? Did she have a secret love with the baker's daughter? Did she have adventures all over the countryside as a young teenage witch? (If you know Discworld, I wouldn't be opposed to a crossover where she somehow met/became a pupil of/fell in love with one of the Discworld witches, but don't worry, I don't have my heart set on it, it's just an idea if you love them to death.) What were her thoughts as she watched her curse succeed and destroy the village? Or I'd love to hear about how the graveyard works. What are the differences between the unconsecrated ground where Liza is buried and the main churchyard? What does Liza think of the Owens and their "live boy”? I'd rather not read about Liza in a het relationship, whether that be in her human life or with Bod. Just not my thing for this character, thanks. And also, if you could not focus on the day she died that would be great too — death always gives me the heebie-jeebies. (Ghost!Liza I like though, obviously.) |
letter |
| anabel | Damar Series - Robin McKinley | Gonturan (Damar) | I love Gonturan. I love how she really has a character in The Blue Sword and isn't just an inaminate object. I would love you forever if you gave me what she's thinking about Harry's shenanigans, or about Corlath's character (he carried her when he was young — what does she think of the man he grew into?), or about their children, or about the fragile détente that Harry & Corlath forge with the Outlanders at the end of the book. Does she remember Harry's ancestress — did Harry's ancestress carry her once and have adventures with her? What does she think of the Final Battle? Also, while I love The Blue Sword and its characters (well, with the exception of Luthe), I don't mind at all if you take Gonturan's character and tell a missing story from Damar. Harry's ancestress would be awesome, like I mentioned. So would a descendant of Harry's! Does the détente collapse in Harry's grandchildren's time, and does Harry's granddaughter take up Gonturan and lead an independence movement? Crossovers could also work, particularly if you're going outside The Blue Sword's own time period. Does Lord Peter Wimsey end up in Damar on a secret mission and encounter Harry's granddaughter, Gonturan at her side, and have to deal with more than he bargained for? Does one of Connie Willis's time-travelling historians (I'm partial to Verity) go on assignment in Istan and end up having adventures with/falling in love with one of the princesses? (Perhaps with Gonturan's nudging?) Like I hinted earlier, I don't like Luthe, and I basically pretend Luthe/Aerin never happened. Other than that all canon relationships are good with me. If you're writing Harry's ancestress/granddaughters/etc., though, I'd love to have their friendships and/or relationships be with women. (I don't have anything against men — except Luthe, lol — but in this canon I'm not really into non-canon het relationships.) |
letter |
| anabel | Miss Marple - Agatha Christie | Jane Marple | Miss Marple is quite simply awesome. I love how she's so quietly competent and flies under the radar a lot because people underestimate her. I love the way she solves 'important' mysteries by relating them to 'little' mysteries that happened in St Mary Mead. I love her dry wit and her steel nerve and her refusal to let old age limit her more than it must. I would really enjoy a casefic, but I know those are really hard to write. It could be one of the 'little' mysteries, though, if that's easier — why Mrs Langton bought a new hat and yet never wore it, for instance, or why the next-door maid sang Puccini on Wednesdays but never Thursdays. And although I love the mysteries, I'm almost more interested in Miss Marple herself, both her character and her mystery-solving process, not the intriciacies of the mystery's plot. (If writing complicated mysteries is your thing, though, go for it! I will love it.) If you'd like the mystery in your Marple to be more on the margins than at the centre, I'd love basically anything focusing on Miss Marple. What are her days like if she doesn't have a mystery on? What do her friends talk about, chattering away as Jane sits in a corner placidly knitting, placing all the gossip in an ordered pattern as neat as her handwork? Maybe you'd be interested in writing about Miss Marple as a girl. Did she have a youthful love affair? (I'd adore you if this was femslash.) What was the first mystery she ever solved? (Either as a kid or as a young woman.) Did she have any failures or embarrassing mistakes when she wasn't that experienced yet — or was she always Just This Good at solving things? Or maybe you're salivating over the idea of a crossover. Maybe Harriet Vane is thinking about starting a series with a different detective and takes Miss Marple as her inspiration? (Maybe she leaves the room to fetch a book and comes back to find Jane and Peter happily talking shop?) Maybe the solution to a mystery Jane is trying to solve seems to be Connie Willis's time-travelling historians (who have made a few slight but critical mistakes in their adaptation to cultural norms), but surely that can't be right — or can it? But if you have an idea already, go for it. Anything that focuses on Jane's Jane-ness will make my Yuletide a happy one indeed. :) |

| anabel | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Harriet Vane, Peter Wimsey | Harriet is one of the great literary loves of my life. She's very special to me, and I've read my copy of Gaudy Night until it has literally fallen apart. So basically the only thing you have to do here is write a story that shows her Harriet-ness off, and you will have a blissfully happy recipient. :) But that's not enough information, you wail! Okay. You want ideas? Well, I already suggested possible crossovers in Damar and Marple, but if those aren't your thing, have some more ideas. How about anything about the relationship between Harriet and the Dowager Duchess (love that woman)? Perhaps Helen is kicking up a fuss about something (I like Helen for some reason, but I like her because she's a pain in the butt, if that makes sense, haha), and the Dowager Duchess and Harriet have to figure out how to address it? Or maybe Harriet and St George, I love those two. St George gets in a scrape and needs Harriet's help? St George brings home an 'unsuitable' partner (class, gender, race) and has to enlist Harriet and Peter's help to run interference for him/back him up? St George has a head-scratchin' mystery and the only place to bring it is to his aunt? [NB: I do not ship Harriet & St George, I just like their aunt-nephew dynamic.] And then of course there's Harriet and Peter. Oh author, if you wrote me Harriet and Peter smut... *fades away blissfully at the very thought* I know it's like the Holy Grail in this fandom, it's so hard to do well, so if you don't feel comfortable doing it please don't feel bad at all (I know I'm not brave enough!) But if you feel brave enough to attempt the characterization and the smut and the awesomeness, I will wave so many little pom-poms and shout your name from all the Yuletide rooftops ever. But Harriet and Peter needn't be smut if you don't want. Anything with them being their awesome selves, particularly after they get together (or during Gaudy Night), would be simply divine. |

| anabel | Tennis RPF | Rafael Nadal | o. What can I say about Rafa? He's passionate, level-headed, devoted to his family, holy-moly aggressive on the court and a big puppy off it, hard-working, courteous, respectful — and hella hot. Also he has the most rubbery eyebrow ever and doesn't suffer fools in pressers lightly (yes, you may remember him being ultra adorable in pressers, and he still is, but now that his English is much better, his sometimes sharp sense of humor has been revealed, much to his fans' delight). Porny and romance ideas in my letter. As for gen: First, TENNIS. I love tennis. Obviously. So a fic with lots of tennis in it (fictional tournaments are best, that way my silly brain doesn't get twitchy about minor discrepancies or something) is all kinds of awesomesauce. And then there's smushy Armada fic that doesn't have any slash in it but is all about the friendships and buddy-ness. (They could plan a massive prank together! They could have ongoing arguments and in-jokes and fights and Playstation bets and brotherly love!) Davis Cup-based stuff is always fun. (Particularly if it involves beating Serbia in a final, because that would be all sorts of awesome drama llama.) And if you don't want to write the Armada, how about just telling me more about Rafa's amazing year? What kind of conversations has he had with friends/colleagues/family? How are his knees holding up, and how much daily pain is he still in since he started refusing to talk about it to the media? How have he and Tio Toni approached his schedule and his success? What does it mean to him to be able to lay down such an incredible year after such a layoff? Is he really as humble as he always acts, or is there a little secret place inside of him that is fiercely glad of what he's accomplished? Did he feel bad for tagging Novak in the face that one time, or did he laugh a little bit? How do the Playstation battles go between him and Andy these days? What kind of thoughts were running through his brain as he stood under the confetti in Indian Wells? Seriously, have Rafa be Rafa and whatever you write I will love. You are awesome, dear writer, and don't forget it! :) |

| Ancalime | Uncharted | Go to town! I'm not a huge fan of the series' villains, other than Harry Flynn, but I'll be happy with whatever. Personally, I ship Nate/Elena and Chloe/Cutter, with past Nate/Harry and Nate/Chloe, but I am open to pretty much any pairing you might come up with. Also, genfic is wonderful! | letter | |
| Ancalime | The Daring Adventures of Captain Lucy Smokeheart | Okay, okay, so I am not quite caught up on Lucy, but I will be! Basically, write whatever you want and I have every confidence it will be delightful! | letter | |
| ancarett | Ever After (1998) | Danielle de Barbarac | What I'd like to see is something more of Danielle. Does she end up at an uncomfortable court function with England's King Henry VIII and any one of his six wives? How well does that go? You could have some art-world shenanigans courtesy of Leonardo and Danielle's best friend, Gustav: maybe they convince the French crown to commission some new works for the court or do a bit of audacious cross-over between art and engineering? (The early advent of hot-air ballooning, perhaps?) You could play around with an AU: Danielle and Henry in the eighteenth century, on a campus, a ranch in the west, a sailing ship on the high seas? (Maybe she's a pirate!) I'd also be happy with some lovely little vignettes of Danielle's life moving forward. Where is she five, ten, twenty, fifty years on? You can draw from history or dabble in fantasy or mix and match. Just have fun and know that I will, too. |
letter |
| ancarett | Bath Tangle - Georgette Heyer | Serena Carlow, Ivo Barrasford | Let the snark begin! Serena and Ivo have been around the block. Looking back at how they know each other or how they negotiate a not-so-smooth happily-ever-after would be great fun to read. If you want to write a different take on their story - what would have happened had they gotten together in their youth? Would their lives have sailed along swimmingly? Somehow, I doubt it. What about a modern AU where Serena and Ivo clash over business or politics as rival executives, reporters or candidates? How about an ivory tower AU where Fanny and Serena are faculty members at a small university, which is being upended with the arrival of new star/old grad school rival Ivo? |
letter |
| ancarett | The Nonesuch - Georgette Heyer | Sir Waldo Hawkridge, Ancilla Trent | I'd love to know what happens after the book's conclusion - Ancilla and Waldo head off to London, does Tiffany cause new problems there which her former companion feels honour-bound to fix? How about Sir Waldo's relations? How well do they take to the change in circumstances with his betrothal and marriage? I'm up for most anything that gives me these characters, whether it's an AU, some character studies or a crossover of your imagining. Have fun with it but remember not to ride your horse up the staircase! |
letter |
| ancarett | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary) | If you want to explore more of Joan's background - what she was like as a child, in college, as a medical resident (did she at some point cross paths with House at Princeton-Plainsboro?), I'd be thrilled. Or a case where Joan takes the lead could also be fabulous. Is there another trip to England in their future or maybe another destination bit of detecting? You can ship Joan and Sherlock or not - I'm good with either option, but what I really want is more of Joan being smart, probing, insightful, occasionally revealing flashes of her past hurts as she carves out an unexpected path in the all-too-interesting present! |
letter |
| ancarett | Holmes on Homes RPF | Mike Holmes (Holmes on Homes RPF) | A contractor on a mission to make it right! Mike Holmes is the ultimate hero and we've got the TV shows to prove it. Maybe you want to write a slice of life: start with Holmes' series. There's a raft of shows stretching back for some ten years with a lot of crew regulars and there's even the option to bring in others from the HGTV Canadian headliners: Mike, Bryan, Scott, Sarah, etc. Or other Can-Con cross-overs with whomever you choose from Tecumseh and Sir John A. to Rick Mercer or the fictional folk of Little Mosque. Have fun! If you like an AU, maybe a futuristic Mike Holmes is going to have to fix up the mess that Captain Kirk made of the Enterprise in the reboot movies. Mike makes everything better, whether it's rolling up his sleeves to help the Avengers repair their tower (and chip in on the rest of Manhattan) or whatever strikes your fancy. |
letter |
| ancarett | Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn | Mara Jade (Thrawn) | I will love you forever and ever and ever if you give more Mara. Whether it's her times with Talon, her struggles with her imperial past, her love of dance and danger, whatever - the more Mara, the merrier! Tell me five things I didn't know about Mara, and maybe that she didn't know about herself? Mara is my favourite EU character. I am a big Star Wars fan and have been from when the original trilogy first hit the screens and I've read quite a bit in the EU as well. However you want to write Mara is good with me. Mara and Leia become friends? I'm there! Look at how she flourished in Karrde's operation and why she's maybe not cut out for the straight and narrow of the Republic? Sure thing! Examine her love/hate relationship with that maddening Jedi, Luke Skywalker? Oh, please, go right ahead! |

| Andraste | Taiyou no Ko Esteban | Les Mystérieuses Cités d'or | The Mysterious Cities of Gold | Mendoza (Taiyou no Ko Esteban) | As long as your story has Mendoza in it, I will be happy! Things you could write about include but are not limited to: 1) Gen interaction with any or all of the kids would be great. They all have different reactions to their kidnapper/navigator/bodyguard/token competent adult, and anything that explores those relationships would be interesting. 2) Backstory! Where is Mendoza from? How did he come to sail with Magellan in the first place? What other adventures did he have while Esteban was busy growing up? |
letter |
| Andraste | Jago & Litefoot (Big Finish Audio) | Henry Gordon Jago, George Litefoot (Jago & Litefoot) | I love these two characters, and I love to watch them interact. If they're both in the story, that's all I really need. If you want ideas: 1) Jago and Litefoot have done some time-and-space travelling in canon - to Roanoke, Venus and the sixties - but I'd love to see more. How would they manage with getting stuck in the Jurassic era? Or the Middle Ages? 2013? The year five billion? (Given their usual activities, falling into a time portal practically seems like a normal day.) 2) ... and on the other hand, pseudo-historicals are my favourite thing in this universe, so I'd be equally pleased if you keep them in their natural environment. Especially if you involve things from the wider Victorian era, or its Doctor Who universe equivalent. 3) So, it's been implied that Litefoot, uh, prefers the company of gentlemen. Is Jago as oblivious to this as it appears, or is he just showing a rare capacity for tact? Are they ever going to have an awkward conversation on the subject? |
letter |
| Andraste | Secret World | I would be delighted to read anything at all about this world! If you would like a more specific prompt, here are a few for the characters that you may have offered to write: 1) So, how did Arun and Monty meet, anyway? Academic conference? Vampire attack? Academic conference that was attacked by vampires? These two are adorable and I'd love to hear more about their adventures. 2) According to the Templars, the Iele is the daughter of Alexander the Great. Given which, she must have seen a lot of things come and go in the Shadowy Forest over the centuries. She doesn't seem to be a big talker, but I'd love to know what she thinks about the Societies, recent developments in Transylvania, her illustrious father or, well, anything at all. 3) Richard Sonnac seems very nostalgic about his days as a young Templar in Transylvania. What adventures did he have there, or in the rest of the world's supernatural trouble spots, before he got stuck behind a desk? |
letter | |
| Andraste | Saga (Comics) | Lying Cat | ga is one of my favourite comics ever, and Lying Cat is one of my favourite parts of it. Here are some prompts if you want them: 1) How did she end up as the Will's sidekick? Did he get her at the space bounty hunter pet store? Is she a stray he rescued? Was she once an adorable Lying Kitten? Is there a whole planet of Lying Cats somewhere? Are they genetically (or magically?) engineered? Do they have their ability from birth/creation or do they have to practice? 2) It seems that Lying Cat has to speak when someone lies within her hearing. Even if they don't know they're lying, or they're only lying to themselves and her, or it would really be better if she kept her mouth shut. I'd love to hear about other times those things have happened, whether funny, or sad, or heart-warming. (I'm thinking of a particular moment in #14. Awwwwww.) |
letter |
| Andraste | Those Who Hunt the Night - Barbara Hambly | James Asher, Lydia Asher, Simon Ysidro | Anything you want to write about the World's Most Sensible Vampire Love Triangle or any of its components would be fabulous. You don't have to put all three of them in the story, although I certainly do love watching them bounce off of each other. They have been my OT3 since long before I knew what an OT3 was. Some ideas, if you need them: 1) Backstory for any of the characters would be lovely. Obviously Simon has a lot of time to have backstory in, both as a mortal and a vampire. What did he get up to during all those centuries? I'd also love to hear more about James' spy adventures or Lydia's time at Oxford. 2) Futurefic would also be fascinating - obviously James and Lydia (and their daughter) are going to keep growing older and Simon, well, isn't. How is the Ashers' mortality going to affect their odd friendship with the vampire? 3) Lydia's scientific interest in vampirism is one I share. I'd love to see her finding out more about how their biology works. |
letter |
| Andraste | Tiger & Bunny | Nathan Seymour | Fire Emblem, Antonio Lopez | Rock Bison, Karina Lyle | Blue Rose, Huang Pao-Lin | Dragon Kid | Any of these characters (or any combination of them, with each other or the rest of the cast) is fine with me. You don't have to put all four of them into one story unless you want to. I totally 'ship Karina/Pao-Lin and Nathan/Antonio. If either pairing floats your boat too, feel free to write about that. I would be equally pleased with gen and friendship, however. If you need some prompts: 1) Antonio has been a hero roughly as long as Tiger, and I'd love to hear more about his career. Has he always been near the bottom of the rankings, or has his star fallen over time? Either way, how does he feel about that? 2) Nathan is in charge of his own company as well as being a Hero, and unlike the rest of the crew he sponsors himself. Does everyone at Helios actually think that the fabulous Fire Emblem is the boss's bodyguard, or are they just too polite to say anything? Or is Nathan's secret identity an open secret all over Sternbild? 3) Pao-Lin and Karina became a heroes before they were old enough to drive, vote, or (legally) get into a bar. How does growing up under that spotlight affect them, in good ways and bad? 4) Nathan, Karina and Pao-Lin have a girl's night out! Maybe it involves fighting bad guys, or dinner. Or fighting bad guys on the way to dinner. 5) I am a total sucker for the whole Hero TV team being together, whether they're fighting the bad guys, celebrating a victory or planning a wacky birthday party. Anything like that would delight me. (Especially if they're planning another wacky birthday party and everything goes hilariously wrong again ...) |
letter |
| And_Dream_Of_Erebor | Miranda (TV) | My dream fic would be one that feels like a Miranda episode, or part of an episode, with as many of the cast members as possible appearing, being their usual selves and saying their catchphrases. But a lighthearted and happy story focusing on just one of the characters would also be wonderful. I ship Miranda and Gary, but I would prefer it if they didn't get together in the story (but I would love it if they came within a millimeter of getting together and then were foiled.) Some very, very optional details: +1 if the story is set around Christmas and/or New Year +11 if it includes Miranda dressing up as the Queen and recording the Queen's speech +111 if Miranda dressed as the Queen somehow ends up meeting the real Queen |
letter | |
| And_Dream_Of_Erebor | Jonathan Creek (TV) | Jonathan Creek, Maddy Magellan | I would love to see Jonathan investigating some kind of mystery. It doesn't have to be a crime investigation (although that would be great); it can be a harmless but intriguing puzzle that can be solved by logic, like the inexplicable behaviour of the postman on one particular morning or a strangely worded ad in a newspaper. I'd like the story to be set at any time before the last episode, with Jonathan still single and living in his windmill, and with Maddy still (or again) around. I would prefer Maddy and Jonathan not to get together, although I'm not opposed to them nearly getting together, or a Jonathan/Maddy romance or sex scene that turns out to be a dream or daydream by one of them. Very optional details: - Maddy deliberately creating a mystery for Jonathan to solve in order for the two of them to become close again - Jonathan working on designing a magic trick for Adam Klaus, or talking about the theory and history of magic - Adam Klaus as a background character, working on an idea of questionable taste |
letter |
| And_Dream_Of_Erebor | Le Comte de Monte-Cristo | Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas | Edmond Dantès (Dumas) | I love this novel because I love elaborate revenge plots and characters concealing their identities. I sympathise with Edmond so much in the first part of the novel that I can't help cheering for his revenge in the second half; at the same time, I cannot help liking the innocent people who would be included in his revenge. I would like to read about Edmund, as the Count of Monte Cristo, being conflicted between revenge and compassion for any of these characters: Mercedes, Albert, Eugénie, Valentine or √âdouard, at any point in the story. | letter |
| And_Dream_Of_Erebor | Would I Lie To You? RPF | I would like either: - a story that takes place during an imaginary episode of the show, or during the imaginary outtakes of a (real or imaginary) episode, with funny banter between David and Lee. An imaginary truth or lie for David, Lee or Rob, or for any other person who has ever appeared on the show . - a story that expands on any of the amusing but true stories told in the show (eg. David Mitchell dressing up as an 18th century nobleman as a child). - if by any chance you feel like writing a cracky crossover, it would also be fun to read a story in which any characters from LOTR, The Hobbit, Harry Potter or Game of Thrones are guest panelists on WILTY, with David, Lee and Rob reacting to their improbable stories |

| angelan | Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell | This book had a direct line to my soul and I wanted to crawl inside it and live there. I don't really mind which characters get used here, I'm mostly just after something happy and festive. Hot chocolate should probably feature. | letter | |
| angelan | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | I would really like a story about Chelsea. How are she and her mother coping with being dropped into the world of Faerie? Do she and Quentin and Raj hang out and get into terrible teenage trouble? Otherwise, I would like a kind of every day story - we always see Toby and company in life or death situations - what's a rainy Sunday afternoon like in their house? |
letter | |
| angelan | Simon Snow series - Gemma T. Leslie | What I would really like here is something with Penelope and Agatha (romantically or not, it's up to you). How well does the prettiest girl in school get on with the smartest one? Also, Simon Snow is totally Hogwarts with technology. Magic + the internet - how does that go down? |
letter | |
| angelan | InCryptid - Seanan McGuire | h Sarah Sarah Sarah Sarah. Ahem. Yes. Sure, she's in a coma right now, but that's not going to last forever, so can she go on a mini adventure please? Past, future, whenever. Or you can just transcribe her chat logs with Artie, that would also be ok (yes I totally want them to get together). | letter | |
| angelheadedhipster | The Middleman (TV) | Wendy Watson, The Middleman, Noser (The Middleman), Lacey Thornfield | Oh, gosh, everything and everybody. Wendy is a must have, as is MM I suppose. Lacey. A side of Noser would be delightful. Tyler would be fine, but not required. I love the side characters, too - maybe just a little bit of Pip? I'd be happy with like, a day in the life mission-focused kind of thing, or maybe with something dealing with the fallout of the last comic (if you've read it!) - Wendy dealing with the knowledge that manservant neville was evil, and the new relationship between MM and Lacey. Or, maybe some more with the evil alternate universe? A crossover could be ok too! I loved the ones Javi wrote, so I'd be down for that. Night Vale, possibly? | |
| angelheadedhipster | Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede | Morwen (Enchanted Forest), Mendanbar (Enchanted Forest), Cimorene (Enchanted Forest), Telemain (Enchanted Forest) | Mendanbar is my fave, and I love his relationship with Cimorene. Not super into the next generation - maybe something about the time when Mendanbar was in the castle bubble and Cimorene was living outside the forest, and whether they were able to connect at all, and how? I love the Forest, I love the dragons. Oh and I love Telemain....not saying you need to do this, but if you wrote Telemain/Mendanbar slash I would read the shit out of that. So. Something to ponder, there. | |
| angelheadedhipster | Jessica Darling Series - Megan McCafferty | Marcus Flutie, Jessica Darling, Hope Weaver, Bridget (Jessica Darling) | I fell in love with Marcus Flutie when I was a teenager and I haven't gone back. I want to know what he's up to now. I was not 100% convinced by Jess and him getting together in the last book, finally, so - convince me? Or, go the opposite way, and now they are broken up and what's he doing now? And if Jess is there, please put in a little Hope Weaver - I always felt like she got short shrift in the books. | |
| angelheadedhipster | Casson Family - Hilary McKay | Permanent Rose Casson, Eve Casson, Saffron Casson, Indigo Casson | Oh gosh. What is up with the Casson family right now! Are they happy? I hope they are happy,in their kooky crazy house falling down way. I hope Indigo is happy, and found love (was Indigo gay? I cant remember, but maybe?) And I hope Saffy found some peace with herself and her family. I was never quite as into Rose as the rest of the family, but I bet she's a hilarious teenager. And how's Eve doing? And where do they all LIVE? And art, man! | |
| angelheadedhipster | Arcadia - Stoppard | Septimus Hodge, Valentine Coverly, Thomasina Coverly | Um, keep in the science and mysticism and poetry and art, please (tall order, I know). Septimus and Valentine are my JAMS. Maybe something about what happened to/with Sempimus after Thomasina's death, how he ended up as the hermit? Woven in with Valentine, of course - I hope Valentine has figured his life out, a bit. Also, I like Hannah. I also like poetry, English literature, and Romantic gardens. Sorry this is a terrible prompt? And also that it basically amounts to 'be Tom Stoppard' oh dear. |
|
| angelheadedhipster | Y: The Last Man | Yorick Brown, Agent 355, Hero Brown | Not over 355's death, personally, so I'd be very happy with some stuff of her and Yorick during the books that we didn't see. OR, it'd be really cool to take a look at Yorick's life between her death and the epilogue - that's 20 years man (right? It's been awhile since I read that part). What was he doing then?? I am also a big fan of Allison Mann. | |

| angevin2 | Eliduc - Marie de France | Eliduc (Eliduc), Guilliadun (Eliduc), Guildeluëc (Eliduc) | I would like to see an alternate ending to this lai in which the three participants in the love triangle realize that you CAN love two people at once, in a non-convent way. Can be sexy or not, it's up to you. | letter |
| angevin2 | 14th Century CE RPF | Anne of Bohemia (14th Century CE RPF) | Anne of Bohemia fic! I love her and people who are not me rarely write about her. Anything whatsoever would be lovely -- being schmoopy with Richard, getting acclimated to English culture, commissioning the Legend of Good Women, introducing weird fashions, running interference between her husband and his various political enemies -- any of these things would make me squeefully happy. | letter |
| angevin2 | 15th Century CE RPF | Joan of Navarre (15th Century CE RPF), Henry IV of England (15th Century CE RPF), Henry V of England (15th Century CE RPF) | I would really love fic focusing on Joan of Navarre, her reign as Queen of England (and dowager queen), and her relationship with Henry IV and his kids (especially Henry V). She's not in Shakespeare, and there's pretty much no way to read Shakespeare's Henry IVs in a way that suggests she's hanging out in the background, but she seems to have been a pretty interesting person and would no doubt have a really intriguing POV on the general clusterfuck that was Henry IV's reign. | letter |
| angevin2 | 17th Century CE RPF | Ben Jonson (17th Century CE RPF), John Donne (17th Century CE RPF) | Ben Jonson and John Donne are both poets (obviously!), both really difficult, and they were both Catholic for part of their lives. They also seem to have known each other, or at least had Strong Opinions about each other's poetry. I would love to see a conversation between these two about poetry and religion and current events and possibly beer or whatever you'd like for them to talk about. There is no need to make it slashy, because I honestly cannot picture it (Donne I think is highly slashable if he's not, you know, Dean of St. Paul's at the time the fic is set, but Jonson is another matter), but if you can, I wouldn't say no to it. | letter |
| angevin2 | Richard II - Shakespeare | Absolutely anything about this play would ROCK, seriously. This is totally my standby "if you don't like the other prompts I will always be happy with this" prompt. There is actually a respectable (for a tiny little fandom) number of fics out there, but at this point, I actually wrote more than a few of them, and while they say "write the fic you want to read," it's nice when sometimes you don't have to. I think what I would especially love is stuff involving characters/aspects of the play that don't get much play in fic (because there is a surprisingly large amount of it for a Shakespeare play). So, like, what is Richard's relationship with his wife like? Or with his uncles? Did Aumerle and York ever work things out after the big cockup with the letter? But anything you want to do will make me totally happy. | letter | |
| angharad_crewe | Pizza (Anthropomorfic) | Cheese (Pizza), Hawaiian (Pizza), Pepperoni (Pizza), Vegan (Pizza) | Go wild with this one. :) I visualize them all as female (well, as female as an anthropomorphized pizza can be), but other than that I'm open to pretty much anything! Some ideas to get you started: they're a girl-band called The Pizzas, trying to make it big and get the Christmas #1. Or they're bounty hunters in a competition to see who can track down and bring in the Queen of the Chili Peppers. Or Cheese and Vegan are buddies who fall in love, helped by matchmaker Hawaiian and Cheese's little sister Pepperoni. Or Pepperoni is a supervillain, Vegan's her henchwoman, Hawaiian is the aging superheroine who's been called out of retirement to thwart her plan to take over Pizza City, and Cheese is the young woman just out of Superpizza Academy assigned to shadow Hawaiian and provide the muscle. Or maybe they're pirates off to find buried treasure, or private eyes trying to solve the mystery of the elusive Ms. Olive, or President Cheese is trying to avert a war against the Calzone Empire (with the help of her Pizza Cabinet). Seriously, have fun with this. Lighthearted, zany, and affectionate is awesome! Overblown cheesy melodrama is wonderful! Completely serious fic except for pizza-themed everything is lovely! Just let your pizza flag fly. :) |
letter |
| angharad_crewe | Colleen - Joanna Newsom (song) | "Colleen" | I read "Colleen” as a selkie, although I'm open to being persuaded she's a mermaid or something else if that's the way you read it. Whatever she is, though, what's her story? Tell me about her life in the ocean, and what happened to bring her to the land. Or how did she adapt on land? Did she marry and have a family, like many selkies? If she did, how did she feel about abandoning them when (if?) she went back to the sea at the end of the song? Alternatively: This morning, 'round the cape at dawn, some travellers sailed into town with scraps for sale and the saddest songs This song could almost be one of the 'saddest songs'. Where did Colleen learn to sing? Did people's hair stand on end when they listened? Or is the singer Colleen's half-selkie (or half-mermaid) daughter, telling her mother's story? On nights when the sea is very still, can she almost hear her mother's voice floating somewhere far away, singing? |
letter |
| angharad_crewe | She Keeps Me Warm - Mary Lambert (Music Video) | Reading customer (She Keeps Me Warm), Barista (She Keeps Me Warm) | Tell me a love story, writer. I love this music video for its warmth, its shyness (the incremental advances of their hands in the car!), its slow build (all the fleeting glances and smiles at the coffee shop), its hopefulness (yes, you too could find a gorgeous girlfriend just around the corner!), its adorableness (the note ♥), its laughter (the friends in the coffeeshop, the friends on the roof!), and the fairytale romance feel of it all. It makes me smile, every time. I'd love it if you told me about these two women and how they fell in love. Who are they? Round their characters out for me. Is the reading customer a Congressional aide, stopping by for a while after work until the rush-hour crush is past? Is the barista working her way through college, with big dreams and a bigger heart? Is the reading customer a superhero in her everyday identity, taking a break from saving the city to read a bit of Dickens and smile at the cute barista? Is the barista a soulful indie singer working on her first album, humming snippets of a new song inspired (she realizes later) by the flame-haired reader in the corner? |
letter |
| angharad_crewe | Clue (1985) | Mrs. White (Clue) | I adore Mrs White. Tell me her story? It can be as complicated or as simple as you like. Perhaps it's a grand tale of Washington intrigue, with Mrs White and her nuclear physicist husband selling secrets to the Communists, only for her to kill him when he has a change of heart and plans on turning himself in. Or perhaps Communism is just a red herring, and Mrs White kills her husbands because she's a crime baroness and they discover her evil deeds. Or perhaps her illusionist husband met her at a magician's conference, and while most of the people there were ordinary humans, Mrs White is in fact a sorceress and uses her husbands for nefarious purposes! Alternatively, I would read Mrs White/Yvette, definitely. :) Perhaps they pretended to hate each other so Miss Scarlett wouldn't catch on that they were together and blackmail Mrs White under threat of telling her husband, but when that absentminded nuclear physicist husband died, a much more lucrative avenue of blackmail opened up. (Mrs White tells people the "I killed him” story because she is a pulp thriller ghostwriter and/or enjoys the way people's eyes pop.) AU in which Yvette survives and Mrs White and Yvette form a partnership and conquer the world together (politically? criminally?) would also be amazing. |
letter |
| angharad_crewe | Emperor's New Groove (2000) | Chicha (Emperor's New Groove) | Chicha is just awesome, okay? First pregnant woman in Disney, I believe, and thoroughly terrific. I love how Chicha washes dishes when she gets angry, how she and Pacha are obviously still very much in love, and how smart and funny she is. Fic ideas: I'd love to see things from her perspective. What does she think of Cuzco? What's her relationship with Pacha like? How did she and Pacha meet? Does she always have to wash dishes when she gets angry, or is it a more general "must clean something” compulsion? I'd especially love to see a full version of her experiences with Yzma and Kronk. Chicha and Yzma are my favorite characters, amidst stiff competition, and them matching wits is perfect and awesome. What is Chicha's impression of Yzma and Kronk? How does she come up with the plan to lock them in the closet and lose the handle? I've only watched the movie, not the video sequel or the TV series that came later. So just movie canon, please. :) I'd be equally pleased by fic that captured the zaniness of the movie's tone or by fic that had a softer approach (after all, Chicha is not Kuzco, so a different narrator could make notable differences in how the story was told). Basically, give me Chicha being her awesome self and I'll be happy! :) |

| Angie | Basketball RPF | LeBron James, Dwyane Wade | I love these two. I love their friendship and I love all athletes who convince each other that they should play for the same team. Some things I would like to see include: the first time they realize maybe they could be on the same team; making the decision; losing to Dallas; the first championship; stealing moves from the Miami Hurricanes; the second championship. Slash is great for this as well if that's what you're into, but please do not include references to them cheating on their RL SOs if you go that route. | letter |
| Angie | Baseball RPF | José Fernández | I want something that is uncomplicatedly happy for this one. José hanging out in Miami! José annoying his teammates/manager in the dugout after he got shut down for the year! José making friends with Yasiel Puig and being willing to cut anyone who doesn't like him! José and Giancarlo Stanton after José hit him in the head or just them being bros! I ship him with Puig kind of a lot, but not exclusively, so that would be great or any other pairing, including with non-nominated players if that's what floats your boat. Mostly what I want is happy José. José being happy forever. | letter |
| Angie | Backwards (2012) | Susan (Backwards), Hannah (Backwards) | I really really wanted to love this movie. And I mostly did! It was charming, even if I thought Abi was kind of terrible, and I'm a sucker for rowing movies. However, I felt that the emotional arc was underdeveloped and wanted so much more of the girls being friends, so as soon as I finished I knew I wanted to request it for Yuletide. Rowing! Female friendships! It's everything I love! I really enjoyed the way they clearly cared about each other and so anything with them being friends, on or off the water, would be awesome. I also thought the movie would be much better if they had kissed at the end and so would be delighted if you went in that direction with this one. | letter |
| Angie | Honor Harrington Series - David Weber | Rachel Mayhew | What I ultimately want is more stories about Grayson women, especially those in the Navy, so I'd be more than happy if you found Abigail, Claire, or Cecelie more inspiring and wanted to write something about them! For Rachel, some things I'm interested in: her family dealing with her enlisting; her first time toasting Grayson, the Keys, the Sword, and the Tester; how the Navy copes with her/how she copes with the Navy; something with her adjusting to Saganami Island. Treecats are at least 80% of why I stuck with this series, so if nothing about Rachel in the Navy appeals to you, maybe something that's just her and Hipper? Something with her family would be great as well, I love all of the Mayhews. | letter |
| Angie13 | Modesty Blaise - Peter O'Donnell | Willie Garvin, Modesty Blaise | This can be a caper or a down-time story. I am a complete sucker for the dynamic between these two; it transcends the romantic or even the platonic and moves almost into the spiritual. Mind you, if you want to go with romance, I won't complain. ;) Please avoid the end game, though. We all know how things go down and I would rather not sob hysterically again. Also no non-con. I have no objection to general violence, sex, or strong language, though. |
letter |
| Angie13 | Kurosagi Shitai Takuhaibin | Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service | Yata Yuji, Makino Keiko, Sasaki Ao, Karatsu Kuro | This can be anything you like short of major character death or non-con. Something dark and mysterious, something fluffy and silly. This is a dark, gallows-humor fandom so consider this permission to go as deep into the underbelly as you like. I love the urban fantasy/horror feel to it and the sense of lingering end-game. I also have a weird soft spot for Yata and his extreme social awkwardness. |
letter |
| Angie13 | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Anything really short of non-con or major character death. This is my new guilty pleasure movie and you can ham it up all you like here. I love the slight anachronisms throughout and, more than anything, the character interaction between Hansel and Gretel. Can we say unhealthy? I know we can... It's also adorkable. How do things go after the movie? How do Edward and Ben fit into that tightly knit duo? How do the adventures go? Any tension, growing pains, fall-out from Muriel's wand? |
letter | |
| Angie13 | The Losers (2010) | Jake Jensen | trictly into capers or downtime fic here, no romance necessary or even really wanted. Use any and all of the characters but Jensen is most definitely my favorite. What can I say? I like snarky dorks who can't stop running their mouths. I do enjoy all of the characters, though, so feel free to use and abuse them in the quest for good fic. Just please don't kill them. Wounding, maiming, kicking, etc... That's all peachy. It's another guilty movie pleasure and I have no regrets. None. |
letter |
| anglepoise | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills, Jennifer Mills, George Washington | Anything about any of these characters in any permutation would be fantastic, but a few ideas you are free to run with at will: 1. Ichabod used to keep a diary and, after Abbie has taught him about computers, discovers that he can do so online. He doesn't, however, realize that anyone can read it. Abbie finds it. (Ichabod/Abbie welcome but not required!) 2. Between cases, Ichabod picks up a gig lecturing at a university. Abbie sits in. 3. Jenny, Ichabod, and Abbie all train together, sharing their different fighting styles and knowledge and/or something about how they work as a triumvirate during cases, where they clash and where they shine. 4. Anything you feel inspired to write about the dynamic between Ichabod and Abbie, whether as friends or lovers. Day-to-day interactions, domestic scenes, banter...I'm a sucker for all of it. Thank you! |
letter |
| anglepoise | It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia | Charlie Kelly, Mac (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Dee Reynolds | Anything about the Gang (including Frank) would be amazing, but I'd specifically love something Charlie-centric. A few ideas that you can ignore or tweak: 1. A 5 times kind of fic ala "5 Times Charlie and Mac Didn't Have Each Other's Backs, and 1 Time They Did." Anything about Mac and Charlie's friendship, really, and childhood fic or flashbacks would be cool. 2. Drunk shenanigans with any or all members of the Gang, be it involving pranks, vandalism, hooking up, truth or dare, absurd crimes of any nature...or hey, even serious, dramatic confessions! (re: hooking up, any and all pairings go...) 3. The Waitress/Dee. It can be antagonistic but has to be totally consensual. 4. We had Mac Day on the show - show me Charlie Day! Thank you! |
letter |
| anglepoise | The Hour | Freddie Lyon, Bel Rowley, Hector Madden | I'd welcome fic about any of the characters in the show, not just the ones I've listed. A few ideas you can ignore or run with: 1. How Freddie and Bel first met. It'd be interesting to have their actual interaction but also both of their thoughts about it. 2. Freddie after season 2, in the hospital recovering, and as many characters as you want to write coming to visiting him. 3. Marnie and Bel navigating a friendship after season 2. (And/or the same for Hector and Freddie. Hector is stunned by how much nearly losing Freddie affects him. Slash for either pairing welcome too.) 4. Freddie and Bel roleplay, except Bel is Bond and Freddie is Moneypenny. (Can be as tame or as sexy as you like!) Thank you! |
letter |
| anglepoise | Brideshead Revisited (2008) | Sebastian Flyte, Charles Ryder, Julia Flyte | Any fic about any of these characters would be lovely. I'm partial to Charles/Sebastian as a pairing, but I'm also open to Sebastian/Charles/Julia, and Sebastian/Julia if you are! (If you're not, that's a-okay). Gen is fine too. 1. General Sebastian and Charles drunken shenanigans at Brideshead or Oxford. 2. Sebastian and Charles first kiss/first time. 3. An exploration of Sebastian's descent into alcoholism, examining his motivations and feelings, sober and drunk, healthy and frail, living and dying. Something angsty but with a poetry to it.. 4. A history of Sebastian and Aloysius, or the characters from Aloysius's perspective :) 5. Sebastian and Julia fascinated with their own likeness to each other - this could be gen or romantic/sexual. 6. Sebastian and Julia seduce Charles. Thank you! |

| ang_the_adverse | Arrested Development | Tony Wonder, George Oscar, 'Gob' Bluth | I just want a Blunder story!!! Extra points and cookies for cleverly fitting in standard Arrested Development jokes/humour (I know this is hard though because I've tried to do this myself). I would expand on all the wonderful (no pun intended) things one could put into this story but I don't want to limit you or put you off writing by asking for something you don't want to give, however if you *do* want more of a prompt (this stands for the others as well) please drop me an anon message at whatdoesthistellyou.tumblr.com or here on the Ao3 (if that's possible, idk) and I will make a list of prompts for you to choose from/to inspire you!! |
|
| ang_the_adverse | Young Americans (TV) | Jake Pratt, Hamilton Fleming | Yeah, so I'm still obsessing over Young Americans (and Jake/Hamilton), over a decade since it aired. Jake/Hamilton is what I want, and a still-crossdressing Jake (the less people who "know" the better). Also if it fits with what you want to write, genderqueer or trans!Jake would be great to read, but I've loved stories about Jake of any gender so no worries if that's not what you want to write. |
|
| ang_the_adverse | Alex Rider - Anthony Horowitz | Alex Rider, Wolf (Alex Rider), Ben "Fox" Daniels | Alex Rider being taken advantage of by MI6 (so, canon) and having it found out by K unit (all or just members of) because Alex is living/working/comes into contact with them is basically my trope. The slower it comes out the better, and K unit basically being on Alex's side even when Alex isn't really on Alex's side because he's just accepted it. |
|
| ang_the_adverse | Millennium Trilogy - Stieg Larsson | Lisbeth Salander, Miriam Wu, Mikael Blomkvist | I haven't read the third book so if you pick this one please don't spoil it for me. Idek what I want from this fandom just good characterization of Lisbeth (I like all the other characters, just Lisbeth is the fave) (Lisbeth/Mikael is not an OTP of mine, but you can show them together with all their flaws and complications because that reflects onto Lisbeth whom I love.) (I do like Lisbeth/Mimi - if you can show Mimi as someone who is whole and strong and capable even if she hasn't quite grasped Lisbeth's world in the way Mikael has that would be interesting.) (I would be totally happy for you to explore both relationships, in the standard Millennium Trilogy attitude that cheating isn't a thing.) Yeah, I think that's what I want. *much love and thanks and good luck* |

| annakas | Koi Suru Bou-kun | The Tyrant Falls in Love | Morinaga Tetsuhiro, Tatsumi Souichi | The first time I learned of The Tyrant Falls in love I had stumbled upon the OVAs. To say I wasn't impressed would be understating it. Souichi was a homophobic bigot from hell and I detested Morinaga for what he did. The rape of Souchi was handled in such a victim blamey way that it pissed me off and I couldn't understand why everyone was so excited about June saving the title when Drama Queen couldn't realise it. Bartner petrayal is one of my biggest squicks. Then I read Challengers and I adored the characters. Souichi was so over the top homophobic prick that his antics and failures of controlling his brother were actually hilarious. Morinaga was so sweetly and hopelessly in love with a bigot who would rather see his kind dead that I felt for the guy. After that... Then The Tyrant Falls In Love Volume 1 happened that was the basis for the OVA's I saw. If I look past the first volume of the series I love how sensual and erotic the whole title is. In a way I really can't blame Souichi for his hatred of gay men since in canon his only encounters with gay men have been very negative a rape attempt by his adviser professor and an actual rape by his own trusted best and only friend. Morinaga was a sweet guy, who snapped and did something absolutely horrific and unforgivable. The only reason why I can look past it in this series and enjoy the title in full is because Souichi himself engineered their fallowing encounters with very flimsy excuses. So in my personal head canon Souchi was so far in denial and in the closet about being gay because of the rape attempt by his adviser professor that when Morinaga snapped Souichi wasn't able to give consent because of the denial even if he really wanted to. So I am trying to white wash volume 1 in to semi-non-con or dubious consent in my mind. That's the only way I can handle the otherwise fabulous series. I would love to see a future fic between the pair where Souichi finally has his head straight, he has come to accept himself as a gay man and how this has mellowed him out just a little bit when dealing with Morinaga. Or Morinaga actually sincerely apologizing to Souichi for what he did and finding a way to redeem himself. If you go the smut route, I will give you bonus points for a seme/top Souichi and uke/bottom Morinaga. It is about time we had some role reversal for the pair. For Souichis fiery nature to dominate Morinaga for once. Though Souichi giving his first blow job could also be interesting. Did Morinaga perhaps finally tell him about his "Souichi penalty point game" he came up with, in the gay bar in the manga where every default/broken promise promise by Souichi means a penalizing point that ends up in sexual favours. I adored Isogai in both series. His interaction with Souichi was hilarious. So a comeo from him would be an added bonus. |

| annakas | X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) | Remy LeBeau (Origins: Wolverine), Logan (Origins: Wolverine) | The interaction was explosive between Logan and Remy in the movie. I crave for more of their sassiness, fighting and bromance. They were among one of my first slash OTP's so when I saw the movie that was almost a dream come true. And it is a travesty that there isn't any more Remy to be shown in any of the newer movies. So give me a Logan and Remy remeeting each other again. I mean it anything with these two will make me happy. |
letter |
| annakas | Bon Cop Bad Cop (2006) | David Bouchard, Martin Ward | The first meeting between David Bouchard and Martin Ward was hilarious, their instant dislike immense, fallowing investigation for the case explosive as hell and the deep friendship between the two by the end of the movie was perfect. I need to see more interactions between the two. Be it the two of them continuing to work as partners on cases, or just hang out. While I will always prefer slash I do absolutely adore gen bff fics too. I loved it how Ward was so prim and proper protocol loving detective who looked so trustworthy and genuine but in his family life he was a complete fail. And how David, who looked and acted more like a gangster than a detective was an absolutely fabulous father who was wrapped around his daughters little finger. Anything with the two would be fine. Perhaps a post movie healing, working a case, having a dinner, lol another fail visit to a TV show! Anything will make me happy. |
letter |
| annakas | My Boss My Hero (TV) | Manabe Kazuya, Sakaki Mikio | I have to confess Kazuya and Mikio stole the whole show for me, and the other main four leads left me quite indifferent during the whole series. I found Kazuyas rabid loyality and feverent need to take care of his boss quite intriguing. Especially considering how he had such stereotypically feminine hobbies but he was a scary biker gang mob boss in his own right. Or Mikio, the younger brother with a feeble weak body but a mind sharp and calculating as a steel trap, who manipulated everyone around him as he saw fit and to show that just because his body is sickly he should never me underestimated and dismissed as weak again. I would love to see these two interact more and develope a friendship and/or romance. Perhaps Kazuya could be assigned as Mikios bodyguard when he visits Japan and for once he sees and feels how it is when someone actually appreaciates all of his efforts to take care of someone. I would love to see Kazuya be appreaciated for the awesome guy he was. Or Mikio becoming Kazuyas hot young boss of a tutor, now that Kazuya is back in High School again and needs all the help he can get to graduate. I can so see Mikio deciding on a new competition when Makio doesn't want to be tutored by his younger brother and perefers his old class mates for it. Mikio being all:"Fine you unappreaciative older brother I'll tutor your young sidecick instead, and just watch how he will flourish under my hand. We will see who will graduate with a better grade between the two of you. Or if Kazuya actually fell for Mikio, how would in impact him emotionally, who would have his loyality, would he even dare to make a move? I have been shipping these two together since I saw the show, not that there was a lot of interaction between the two of them. |

| annakas | 학교 | School (2013) | Park Heungsoo, Go Namsoon | The friendship between Go Namsoon and Park Heungsoo was absolutely perfect. I loved it how devastating their fall out was for both of them because of Namsoons actions. And I loved it how powerfully healing their making up was. While I do ship the two of them together, slash or gen fic with these two are both fine with me. As long as the friendship is strong and shining. I would love to see future fic with these two where we get to see what becomes of them in the future. What professions do they choose, any higher education, moving in together ect. Or for promtps perhaps to see how will Heungsoo's family react when he brings Namsoon one day to his place again. Or how does Senior year now go that they have made up. Does anyone dare to challenge them for top dog? Anything with these two will make me happy. |

| annemari | Fast and the Furious Series | Letty Ortiz, Dominic Toretto | I would love love love something about Letty's amnesia. "I thought you were dead" and amnesia are some of my favourite tropes and I'm, like, THRILLED that they included both of these in the latest movie. It is GREAT. So something about Letty regaining her memories or learning to live without them or something about her thoughts during the movie would be awesome. If you want then you could also write a Letty character study! I find her great and would love to read anything about her. But I also really love Dom/Letty, so if you're not that into amnesia or not into amnesia at all, then really, anything about them would be great! [More details in the letter, if needed!] | letter |
| annemari | Teen Beach Movie | McKenzie (Teen Beach Movie), Lela (Teen Beach Movie) | HOULD HAVE KISSED. I mean, come on, Lela gave Mac her friendship necklace. The necklace SHE was wearing. She confessed the secret of her biggest dream to Mac! They both like to surf! HUGS! Friendship necklaces! Friends forever! Basically I'd love anything you could write for these two, either set during the movie (Wet Side Story) or something after Lela and the others come to Mac's world or, well, anything! I'm sure I'll love anything you come up with. [More details in the letter, if needed!] | letter |
| annemari | Princess Protection Program (2009) | Carter Mason, Rosalinda Fiore | I was so thrilled to see this movie had been nominated, I LOVE the dynamic of Rosie and Carter. Anything set during the movie would be great, but I'd also dig any sort of future fic! Maybe something with more danger! I love that Carter was willing to sacrifice herself to save Rosie, because they had grown so close (and fallen in looove, shh). And I love the added danger aspect, because danger lends itself well to worrying and hurt/comfort which I'm into. But if you just want to write something about the princess and her best friend (and something more) then that would be awesome, too! I'm into anything. :D [More details in the letter, if needed!] | letter |
| annemari | Austin & Ally | Ally Dawson, Austin Moon | I LOVE these two. She writes songs for him! He loves and appreciates her and is enthralled by her and he thinks she is so SO great and so talented and it's just SO GREAT. I LOVE the dynamic of a songwriter and singer, and I love how they do it on the show, and how they went from friends and hugs to "ahh more than friends?!?" and kisses. Anything about these two would be splendid. Maybe something about them figuring out their new dynamic with Ally also being a singer now? Maybe something set in the future? I love future-fic. Or maybe just something sweet and comfortable, about them writing music together, and hugging, and being great and lovely. I'm good with anything! [More details in the letter, if needed!] | letter |
| Anne_Animouse | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | The Yuletide letter has more details, but I'd especially love to see something dealing with Hansel's "sugar sickness", or his fear of water (or both, even). | letter |

| Annie D (scaramouche) | Poltergeist (1982) | Diane Freeling, Carol Anne Freeling | I'm mainly interested in this film as a story about a *family*, and how they react to the supernatural elements that besiege them. Although Diane's terrified by the supernatural creature, she's more than willing to stand up to them for the sake of Carol Anne. So I'd love a fic that explores this relationship. The setting can be mundane, or there can be supernatural/ghostly elements as well. I'm more into gen for this fandom, though I don't mind if there are het and/or slash pairings present. Further details are at the linked letter. |
letter |
| Annie D (scaramouche) | Be Cool (2005) | Elliot Wilhelm | I love Elliot's enthusiasm and excitability, how much he loves performing and wants to become a movie star, plus his heart of gold. So I'd really like a story starring Elliot, preferably in the tone of the film. Gen, het and slash is fine, though if Elliot's to be paired up with someone, I'd prefer if he's still queer. Further details are at the linked letter. |
letter |
| Annie D (scaramouche) | Borealis (2013) | Vic Carboneau | Vic Carboneau is the lead character of Borealis, and I'd love to know more about him and perhaps how he fits in this future world. I would like a story centered around him, but I also enjoy his relationships with other characters in the show, particularly Taq, Bettina and Roger Chin. I'm fine with gen, het and/or slash, but if you'd like to pair Vic up with someone I'd prefer it to be limited to either Taq or Bettina (or both at the same time). Further exploration of Borealis' future world would also be interesting, as long as Vic is still central to the story itself. Further details are at the linked letter. |
letter |
| Annie D (scaramouche) | Bates Motel (2013) | Emma Decody | Emma Decody is the sharp, intelligent, fragile girl who has no idea whose story she's stepped into. My interest in Emma is in how she views and relates to the main plots of Bates Motel without (at this point) knowing the full story. Considering the source material, take the story as dark as you like. Gen, het and/or slash is fine, though I'm not a fan of Emma/Bradley as a pairing. Further details are at the linked letter. |
letter |
| Annie D (scaramouche) | Gravity (2013) | Ryan Stone, Matt Kowalsky | I really have a desire to see more of Ryan and Matt, in whatever context as is possible. I've put both of them in my requests since I'm interested in both of them and their relationship, though feel free to focus on either one more if you like. I would also love it if space is still a "presence" in the fic, though the story doesn't have to be set in space itself. Gen, het and/or slash is fine, though if there is explicit sex I would prefer it to be between Ryan and Matt, instead of them with other people. Further details are at the linked letter. |

These two were my favorite AMC couple. I'm pretty much open to anything, post/pre/during-show. Post is the preference but it's not a must. | letter |
| anotherthief | Defiance (TV) | Amanda Rosewater, Joshua Nolan | I'd love post-finale Amanda tracking Nolan down in some seedy bar and them basically getting into a pissing contest over whose life sucks more and leading somehow to drunken make outs/sex. But then I'm also open to anything involving Amanda tracking him down and/or make outs/sex? It doesn't necessarily have to be post-finale. | letter |

| anotherthief | People Like Us (2012) | Frankie (People Like Us), Sam (People Like Us) | Fix-it fic where it turns out they aren't bio sibs after all because oh my god wasted chemistry. I just really want Frankie, Sam and Josh to live happily ever after. However canon is cool too! I'm also good with exploring their relationship post-movie. | letter |
| anr | The Lost World (TV) | John Roxton, Marguerite Krux | (Marguerite/Roxton) I would love to read a post-the-series-cliffhanger story about Marguerite and Roxton both still on the plateau, creating a life for themselves in the Lost World. I'd prefer something a little closer to dark than to fluff but having these two get together, and knowing that's where they're supposed to be (and being happy with that) is the important part. Maybe the others have gone off on a long-term adventure and it's just Marguerite and Roxton left at the treehouse for some reason? However you want to spin them being alone together at the treehouse would be awesome. | letter |
| anr | Stargate Universe | Vanessa James, Matthew Scott | (Scott/James) Scott and James, together. The two of them post-the-series-cliffhanger, awake and still surviving. I love the idea of them dealing with their past relationship and building a new one together, especially if that includes them exploring Destiny together, and/or being stranded off-ship together. (Note: a dissolution of Scott's relationship with Chloe would be fantastic, obviously. Chloe-bashing, however, would not be.) | letter |
| anr | Illusion - Paula Volsky | Eliste vo Derrivalle, Dref Zeenoson | (Dref/Eliste) Dref and Eliste, together. Something set during the end stages of the revolution would be awesome, when Eliste is staying with Dref and they're both in danger of being caught and executed -- Eliste for being Exalted and Dref for working with Nirienne -- and there's UST and fear in abundance. Similarly, something set post-book would also be awesome -- starting a life together; dealing with the personal effects the revolution had on them; having, finally, what they want (each other). | letter |
| anr | Lost in Space (1998) | Judy Robinson, Don West | (Don/Judy) Don and Judy, together, post the movie and falling for each other. I would love a story showing these two developing a relationship while trying to survive and get themselves unlost. These two lend themselves perfectly to one of my favourite tropes of all time -- two characters, stranded together -- so a story where these two get a little lost themselves (maybe left behind on some planet?) and find each other while finding their way would be all kinds of awesome. I realise they are not the only two people stranded/lost (there's the rest of Judy's family, Dr Smith, and the robot) however they are the two I'm most interested in. | letter |
| anr | The Faculty (1998) | Zeke Tyler, Elizabeth Burke (The Faculty) | (Zeke/Miss Burke) Show me how these two end up together at the end of the movie and the effect the invasion had on them. How do they handle what has happened to them? How does Zeke deal with the fact that he essentially killed her? How does she handle the fact that she's fallen for a guy who is technically still her student? How does Zeke go from being the guy who ran the school black market to being the new football star? I think these two probably had a serious case of PTSD after the movie, and that that helped them bridge their age differences and existing teacher/student relationship, so a story showing how they've dealt with that and moved into this new romantic relationship would be awesome. | letter |
| anr | Becker (TV) | Regina 'Reggie' Kostas, John Becker | (Becker/Reggie) Becker is an unashamed jerk and Reggie is a self-confessed mess but together they somehow just work. They don't pull any punches with each other -- Reggie calls him on it when he's being an ass, and Becker is the first to tell her when she's making a mistake -- but they're also the people they tend to turn to when things get too much (okay, usually it's a reluctant turn, but still). I really only pay attention to the first three seasons of the show so anything that branches off from that time period would be awesome. Maybe a continuation of the 'what if' in the season one finale "Regarding Reggie" where Reggie agrees they should keep it 'friend's only' only for Becker to fall and want more? Or a post-ep to the season two finale "Panic on the 86th"? Or five times Becker and Reggie spend the night together? Or have dinner together? Or sleep together (with whatever definition of 'sleep' you like)? | letter |
| antarctic (ohargos) | Shimotsuma Monogatari | Kamikaze Girls (2004) | Shirayuri Ichigo, Ryuugasaki Momoko | I'd love something focusing on Momoko and Ichigo's relationship, whether friendly or romantic. Or perhaps a story about Ichigo's past with Akimi and the gang, and how she became 'Ichiko'. Or more of Ichigo's biker legends. Or just a slice-of-life story of one (not so) ordinary day in their lives. |
letter |
| antarctic (ohargos) | Jeux D'Enfants | Love Me If You Dare (2003) | I love this movie to bits, so anything at all will make me happy. I'd love to hear about the other dares that Julien and Sophie played over the years, or how they coped with the ten-year pause, or seeing the story from another character's point of view, or perhaps a story about what might have happened if they'd run away when Julien suggested it, or how it would have turned out if they had the courage to not make it all into a dare just once. But truly, I'll be happy with anything you feel like writing! | letter | |
| antarctic (ohargos) | Dead Poets Society (1989) | I would like gen, or alternatively accept any pairing(s) as long as they are not the main point of the story. I would love a vignette or a slice-of-life piece about the "happy days" during the film. Maybe a fic with Christmas approaching, or any of the nightly Society meetings, or perhaps just an inspirational lesson. All literary references will be muchly loved. | letter | |
| antarctic (ohargos) | Pushing Daisies | I would pretty much love anything set in this wonderful universe - a new sweetly sinister case, a slice-of-life story, character backstories, a Christmas story, what happened after the finale, or anything else you come up with. While I ship Ned/Chuck, any ship is fine by me, as is gen. If it's in the spirit of the show, your story is guaranteed to make me happy! |
letter | |
| antediluvian | Guilty Gear | Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske | I would love basically anything with these two. War stories, post-war stories, origin, anything! I do ship them with intense and frantic passion BUT if you do not I am more than happy with gen. :) With these two I don't like non-con or dub-con, and I am not a fan of weepy weak Ky Kiske - the boy became a war leader at 15, which I think suggests that he is probably pretty badass rather than feeble. I don't care if you deviate wildly from canon or invent your own - the GGverse can be pretty silly sometimes, so do whatever makes you happy and I am sure it will make me similarly so! | letter |
| antediluvian | Demon's Lexicon - Sarah Rees Brennan | Nicholas "Nick" Ryves | Hnikarr, Mae Crawford | I would love to see a post-series story with these two, or any of the unwritten moments during the series, or a scene from one POV written from the other's. I like that Mae is hyper-organised and bossy and that Nick likes her bossing him around. | letter |
| antediluvian | Dune Series - Frank Herbert | There are some very particular things I would love to see for this world: anything with Jessica, anything with Irulan, the Fremen, Ghanima/Leto (this is the one and only incesty pairing I like in the whole world), or anything with the Bene Gesserit. I love the world of Dune and I prefer it before they started turning it green. I love the manipulations and the politics and the huge wide sandy world they have there. I love a culture in which water is so terribly valuable. I love the Bene Gesserit mantra against fear. | letter | |
| antediluvian | Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi | Spirited Away | This film is one of my all-time favourites. It's the thing that I watch whenever I feel small or sad, or when I want to imagine walking through a tunnel to some different, stranger world. What I love the most about it is Chihiro's practicality in the face of so much oddity, the fact that even with her name taken away from her, she's still her. I love her with Haku, although I'm not so much down with the out and out smut for them. You could write pretty much anything to do with this universe, and I would lap it up with a spoon. What I particularly like, though, is fic which focuses on the mundane and the everyday. I would be very interested to see anything that's written after the film takes place. |

| anticyclone | Rosanella - Anne Claude de Caylus | I love fairy tales where we see fairies trying to interfere in the human world. The fairies don't seem to consider for a moment the lives they're messing with. It's all about power. Why did they pick these particular "tricks" to prove that power? And Rosanella's life is such a strange one that it's made this one of my favorite fairy tales. How weird must it have been growing up in twelve parts? What was life like after she was put back together? More info and ideas in my letter. |
letter | |
| anticyclone | W.I.T.C.H. | Cornelia Hale, Elyon Brown | I am a sucker for girls getting fantastic powers, especially when it leads to magical worlds. Cornelia and Elyon were two of my favorites because they had known each other and been friends for so long, but got separated by their magic instead of brought closer because of it. Anything about their relationship would really make me happy, pre or post canon. I would like either gen or femslash for them. Scenes from their childhoods? What did they get up to after reconciling? What would getting into a romantic relationship look like? More info and ideas in my letter. |
letter |
| anticyclone | Windows 95 Tips | Windows 95 (Windows 95 Tips) | I love mundane things turned creepy. This canon stretches into weird, bizarre, and terrifying. Yes, I really would be happy with just 1,000 words worth of creepy tips if that's how you want to go. If you want to write something more narrative, that would be great too. Enslaving a person, a family, getting installed in a school, getting enraged when someone brings a Mac into the house... More info and ideas in my letter. |
letter |
| anticyclone | Cinderella (Fairy Tale) | Stepsister(s) (Cinderella), Fairy Godmother (Cinderella - Fairy Tale) | I know it's a weird combination of characters to request. But I like seeing fairy tales reinterpreted by new writers, and these characters never get to meet. Maybe a/the stepsister(s) learn about the Godmother somehow and know about her while the ball is going on. Maybe they meet up after the canon is over, and the Godmother helps one/both of them because they're better now. Or maybe the Godmother has her own plans for using them, etc. More info and ideas in my letter. |
letter |
| AntigravityDevice | Imajica - Clive Barker | World-building, world-building! Show me the wonders of Imajica! I left the characters out of the request, but feel free to use them to illustrate a particular peculiarity or build atmosphere. Missing scenes are always great. | letter | |
| AntigravityDevice | Vellum - Hal Duncan | I left the characters out because I'm most in love with this universe, and the way it's described to us. Feel free to follow any of our heroes through a wrinkle in vellum of your choosing. I'd love something weird and disturbing and wickedly cool. Action and adventure, poesy and theorising - go for what inspires you. I'm also familiar with Ink. | letter | |
| AntigravityDevice | Ballad of Halo Jones | Halo Jones | I love this dystopian version of the far future, and its all too real characters and their relationships. So where did Jones go? What did she do? Tell me one of the stories told of her centuries after her death! The comics refer to them, but perhaps you can add some flesh to the bones - and maybe even reveal what actually happened to the real woman behind the legend... | letter |
| AntigravityDevice | Strangers in Paradise | Casey Bullocks-Femur, Tambi Baker | I think Casey and Tambi's kinks would fit together quite well, and make for a hot, rough scene to warm up my Yule. If you're not comfortable writing anything explicit or suggestive, or even anything femslashy, no worries! Scenes with these two interacting with each other and perhaps with Tambi's girls would be just as great. I adore Cherry Hammer and would like to read more about Becky. A bit of H/C is wonderful, but nothing overtly angsty, please. | letter |
| AntigravityDevice | Waterboys (2001) | Sato (Waterboys) | It's a feel-good sort of movie for me, so something light-hearted, please! I would not say no to some character study, or some slash, either. | letter |
| antumbral | All Creatures Great and Small - James Herriot | James Herriot, Tristan Farnon | I love everything about these books, from Scotland to all the various farm personalities (both animal and human!) to Tristan's... Tristan-ness. I love the stories about Tricky Woo especially, and am fond of the physical comedy that often ensues when Jim interacts with large animals. Pretty much anything you would want to write in the world of these books would make me thrilled to death. I listed Jim and Tristan as characters because I like their interactions, but I'd rather a gen story like the canon if at all possible than anything with them in a relationship. Feel free to incorporate other characters as well if you like, I love Helen and Sigfried just as much as Jim and Tristan. | letter |
| antumbral | The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011) | Micheletto (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)), Cesare Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)), Lucrezia Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)) | I adored this show, and was heartbroken that they canceled it, but if it had to go out I feel like it went out at a great time for fanfic! So I'd love a post-show story, whether about Micheletto finally coming back to Cesare after his heart has had time to mend, or Cesare going off and conquering more of the papal states, or Lucrezia consolidating her own power and finally finding a husband that suits her (or falling further into Cesare's arms!), there are so many great ways you could go with this. I would be totally open to anything you write about these characters, basically, from gen to really explicit, and in any combination (or you could go for a threesome, that'd be cool, or maybe Micheletto as a voyeur, or Lucrezia as a voyeur, or Cesare matchmaking for his two favorite people, or... go crazy, is basically what I'm saying. I'm nuts about all three of them). If you could find a way to include scheming and complicated Papal politics, that would be super fantastic. | letter |
| antumbral | Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle | Pretty much anything you do with the Murrays would thrill me. Something about the twins after the events of Many Waters, something about Charles Wallace once he gets to college, something from their mother's perspective about the wild adventures of her children and husband. I just really like their family. If you could include math or science or philosophy in that meaningful way that L'Engle really had a deft talent for trying, that would be wonderful. | letter | |
| antumbral | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Will Stanton, Bran Davies aka Pendragon | My love for Susan Cooper as an author is unsurpassed; I have a massive authorcrush. I would give very important body parts to be able to write like her. As for Will and Bran, the dynamic between them, and between both of them and the land of Wales, just fascinates me. I love the Arthurian themes of their story, too. Basically anything involving the two of them (gen, slash, whatever floats your boat) will make me happy. Character driven pieces focusing on the quiet moments between them, either during or after the book canon; plot driven pieces about what happens after; romance or friendship or longing or memory and the lack thereof; really, my love for these stories is so deep that I'm sure whatever you write, I'll love! | letter |
| anythingbutblue | BioShock Infinite | Daisy Fitzroy, Booker DeWitt | what I'd love most is a story that fills in the HUGE blanks we have about the universe where Booker was allied with Daisy. I'm cool with a romance between them if that's the way your story takes you, but it's by no means required; I'm just excited to read about these two people who have every reason to have trouble with personal relationships first reluctantly working together, then (probably just as reluctantly) becoming partners, and finally (possibly grudgingly) developing a real friendship against the backdrop of the Vox Populi uprising. If that doesn't work for you, I'd also be eager to read a story about how Daisy overcame the odds stacked against her when she was accused of Lady Comstock's death and gained notoriety as leader of the Vox Populi. You could also give me a story about the Booker we glimpse after the game's end credits. I didn't add Elizabeth to my requested characters, but it's not because I don't like her; feel free to include her and the always enjoyable Luteces as much or as little as you need to for the sake of your story! | letter |
| anythingbutblue | Cowboy Bebop | Julia (Cowboy Bebop), Grencia Eckener | I'd really love to read about their first meeting. Tell me how they connected. What prompted Julia to talk to Gren about Spike? What made Gren share his secrets with Julia? Tell me about "Goodnight Julia," about any or all of the times Julia would show up at the Rester House, sit at the corner stool, and request the same sad-but-beautiful song. If that doesn't work for you, I'd also be interested in any Julia adventure that takes place between her disappearance from Tharsis City three years pre-show and her reappearance in the Real Folk Blues; illustrate her mix of practicality and romanticism for me. Show me some fleeting bonds she made during her travels. I'd also be thrilled with a day (or week or whatever) in the life of Gren on Callisto as he slowly worked toward his face-to-face meeting with vicious. | letter |
| anythingbutblue | Dollhouse | Claire Saunders, Adelle DeWitt, Topher Brink | What I'd love most here is the story of how a young woman became Whiskey, once the Dollhouse's most popular Active, and then Dr. Claire Saunders. Who was Claire/Whiskey before? Did she have a prior relationship with Topher? I know there's a fan theory that her original personality was the one Topher imprinted on Sierra in Haunted, and I don't know if I really subscribe to that but I'd definitely love to read fic about it. I'm hoping you'd be generous with Adelle's presence; I'd love to read about Claire's initial meeting with Adelle. If heavy Claire backstory doesn't work for you, I'd also be thrilled with Adelle backstory, something about how she earned her position or about when she started using the Miss Lonely Hearts cover, or Topher backstory, maybe something set in the earliest days of the Dollhouse as he and Adelle learned to work together. Alternatively, you could delight me with a case fic that focuses on all three and their "behind-the-scenes" work while Actives are out, and you'd earn all the bonus points I can find if it fits into that window of time after Claire becomes so painfully self-aware but before she leaves the Dollhouse. | letter |
| anythingbutblue | Lost in Translation (2003) | Charlotte (Lost in Translation (2003)), Bob Harris | What I'd most like to see is the two of them having another chance encounter in a different location five years after the movie. You can pick a city that matters to you, pick a city you've never been but would love to visit; just make it a place neither of them has ever called home, a place that's new to both of them. What are their lives like now? Is Bob still acting? Has Charlotte found a niche? Are they happy? Alternatively, their chance meeting could be at some major airport where they experience such significant delays that they end up renting a car together to get out. I really enjoy the dynamic between Charlotte and Bob so I'd love to see a continuation of it, but that doesn't mean you need to feel compelled to make them romantically available to each other. (Part of the fun for me is not knowing where you'll take them in that respect!) I'm a big fan of the quiet moodiness and slice-of-life feel of the movie and will love it if you can capture some of that in the story as well. If the five-years-later idea doesn't work for you I'd also be happy to read about what their lives are like immediately post-movie, so you could pick one of them (or both!) and explore that for me. | letter |
| anythingbutblue | Orange is the New Black | Nicky Nichols, Lorna Morello, Poussey Washington, Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson | I'm so intrigued by these four women, and the friendship between Poussey and Taystee is one of my favorite things on the show. After hearing Taystee's hilarious comment about Ulysses, I'm wanting a fictional book club at Litchfield Correctional so these characters (and any other inmates you want to include!) can sound off on popular titles. Imagine the scathing commentary on The Scarlet Letter. Who argues with Taystee over Harry Potter? Does Little Women make someone cry? (Just examples! Use books that inspire you!) If that idea doesn't work for you I'd also be up for some kind of awkward road trip involving these four, and I'd be truly and sincerely happy with backstory for any or all of these women. Also, if you feel like braving crossover territory, here's an idea: on more than one occasion Morello has made me think of Mae Mordabito from A League of Their Own (also nominated for Yuletide, I see!), and if you write a story that makes them related it will no doubt be amazing. | letter |
| anythingbutblue | Ready Player One - Ernest Cline | Nolan Sorrento | My biggest disappointment with this novel was due to something said by Nolan Sorrento in his first meeting with Wade: "The Sixers are really no different than a Gunter clan, albeit a well-funded one. We share all the same obsessions as Gunters. And we have the same goal." To me it seemed like possible foreshadowing that there'd be a point when some of the Sixers could be more than just the novel's Big Bad, but we never got to see them -- especially Sorrento -- in any shade of gray. What I'd like here is a fic that changes that. I'd really love a story from Sorrento's point of view: don't apologize for him by any means, but show me what makes him human, show me his passion, show me what makes him geeky, show me what keeps him up at night. If you find yourself uncomfortable writing Sorrento in particular, I'd enjoy the same kind of fic starring a female Sixer from Sorrento's posse of helpers. | letter |

| aquamarine | Fire Emblem: Kakusei | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Lucina (Fire Emblem), Serena | Severa | Please see letter for more details! Here are some prompts: Severa/Noire: their hypothetical S-support + paired ending! Lucina/Severa: I'd love to see some interaction between them from their future (although I see that as something more gen-ish, but honestly, just them interacting makes my day). Future Past!Lucina/Severa would also be perfect - I have a thing for princess/knight pairings. Lucina/Owain: I really want to see something from their paired ending - preferably cute and fluffy! I'd also adore to see some interaction between them from their future, as well. Lucina/Severa OR Lucina/Owain: I'd love to see Lucina being overly willing to sacrifice herself, and the angst that ensues. I actually got this idea from this artist's Lucina/Owain artworks (like here or here), but definitely felt like it could be expanded upon! Yay, angst! Severa + Cordelia: I actually don't have any specific ideas for these two! How about something to do with pegasus knights (maybe Severa bonds with Cordelia's pegasus?) Cordelia wants bonding-time and it's an utter failure, but with a cute ending? Lucina: what about a hypothetical support conversation chain with Lissa (why doesn't this exist in the actual game omg)? Or even Emmeryn, even if Emm's return makes me go :/ (I personally consider it not-canon) but still, the idea of them interact is super intriguing. |
letter |
| aquamarine | Secret Avengers | Bobbi Morse (Secret Avengers) | Please see letter for more details! Here are some prompts: Bobbi on AIM Island (which I don't think they're letting her escape from for a while, so you won't be Jossed during the writing period, at least!). Just a general introspection is great, but if you wanted to write something with plot to get her the hell out of there, that's awesome too! Or, maybe a fic set in the theoretical aftermath when she does escape — maybe her feelings of betrayal or outrage, before SHIELD (most likely) wipes her memory. Or, how about a fic about how Bobbi was recruited into the Secret Avengers, a la vol 2 #1 with Clint and Natasha's stories? Like, missionfic :D Something about the WCA — casefic, perhaps? Or general team interactions, since they were fun for the short-time they were prominent in the minis. This isn't an actual idea, but I'd love reading something about her being badass, especially now with her Infinity-Formula-granted powers. If fight scenes aren't your thing, she can also show off her scientist or spy skills! In general, if you like character-studies, I think Bobbi is a character who would really benefit from those, since she's had so much happen to her in recent Marvel history, so I'd be ecstatic to read those! If you did one, I'd really like to see at least a mention of her time in disguise on the Skrull homeworld. |
letter |
| aquamarine | Avengers Academy | Jennifer Takeda (Avengers Academy), Jeanne Foucault (Avengers Academy), Humberto Lopez (Avengers Academy) | Please see letter for more details! Here are some prompts: I love the relationships all of the students have, whether they're with each other, the teachers, their families, even the villains, so anything expanding on those would be great. Team casefic (go, random villains of the day!) is also great, as are character studies. Here are some more specific prompts: Reptil talking about children with any of the teachers who are parents (Tigra is great, but if you could make it work with Pietro I'd want to read that, too!) after reflecting on his memories of the future and his daughter. Doable with Finesse, too, but all she knows is hear-say from Reptil, but Finesse attempting those topics would make for some very interesting conversations. I think it's touching how overprotective Hank is of the students, and I always wanted to see some scenario when the students themselves act the same towards him. It really hits me in my found-family-loving heart. On that note, anything about being a found family, the Academy being a home away from home. I like it when my heart melts. Parties! Birthday parties, holiday parties, we-just-finished-finals parties! I liked the prom issue a lot. Random AA outings, like when Hank took them out to a Broadway play, are also good! |
letter |
| aquamarine | Umineko no Naku Koro ni | When the Seagulls Cry | Lambdadelta Ushiromiya Eva | Please see letter for more details! Here are some prompts: Eva character-study post-Rokkenjima incident — her grief and isolation was only ever implied and inferred, so a more direct approach to showing it would probably crush me, but I'd love reading it. Eva-Ange cute times in a world without Bernkastel's meddling. Damn you, Bern. On that note, I'd love to read anything about Eva-Ange's relationship in the present time. However, I wouldn't want any glossing over of how Eva treated her - it's true that Eva did offer her love to Ange, and it's also true that Ange's rejection crushed Eva, but the way she treats Ange is not justified. Once Eva makes up her mind about someone, it's there to stay - she's very stubborn and unwilling to bend. Ushiromiya siblings - I'd be so there for anything about their relationship when they were young. I'd really want to see a scene from their childhood years (although I'd prefer the ending of that to be at least a little touching, I don't think I can take seeing the contempt they show as adults). Bernkastel/Lambdadelta — anything at all. Seriously. They're so twisted and wonderful. You can even disregard me not asking for porn in my general section, I would take a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g and revel in it. Lambdadelta being popular among the witches is really charming, so anything with her interacting with the others and being a good host would tickle my fancy. I always wanted to see Lambdadelta reacting to her placement in the Umineko EP8 character poll, where she did indeed get in the Top 5, hee. |

| arabella_figg | Ghost Hunters RPF | Steve Gonsalves (Ghost Hunters RPF), Dave Tango (Ghost Hunters RPF) | Things I enjoy in this fandom: Slash, practical jokes, nonsense, Steve's fear of spiders, creepy ghosts, ridiculous ghosts, ghosts in general. I ship Steve/Tango like it's my job, but if you don't, that's okay. Mostly I just love the way they work together, the playfulness and the bickering back and forth like an old married couple. * What if a ghost started following them around? How would they handle that? * Tell me about a prank Steve plays on Tango, and maybe what Tango does to get him back. * Why does Tango always take Steve's stupid dares? Is he ever going to learn his lesson? * Since Grant's departure from the show, Steve's stepped into his shoes. How has that changed his relationship/interactions with Tango? |
letter |
| arabella_figg | Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated (TV 2010) | I love all the characters in this universe, including (especially!) Marcie. I grew up on the original incarnation of the show, so the nods to the classic Scooby Doo are my favorite part of canon. But I think Marcie fits in really well with the rest of the gang, and I've enjoyed watching her and Velma develop into frenemies. If you feel like writing femmeslash, I'd love to read some Marcie/Velma. The fact that there isn't loads of it after season two is kind of surprising, honestly. But I'd be just as thrilled with gen ensemble, or a fun case fic, or fic focused on any character you like. I really do love everything about this universe, so whatever you come up with will make me happy. * What would the gang do if they finally encountered an actual ghost? * Tell me more about the displays at the Haunted Museum. If you want to take it in a 'Night At the Museum' direction and bring the displays to life, that would be really fun. |
letter | |
| arabella_figg | Dredd (2012) | I'm fascinated by Mega-City One. It's all so bleak and depressing, and I'm interested in what life is like for the residents of the blocks. * Tell me about Anderson's childhood playing in the blocks. Or what it was like adjusting to her ESP and her parents' deaths at the same time. * Tell me about another case Dredd takes on. Does he work with Anderson again? * How did Ma-Ma come to power in Peachtree? How did she end up there in the first place? Really, anything about the universe, featuring any characters you like, would thrill me. If you'd like to explore one of the other blocks or even another Mega-City, that would be really interesting too. There's so much of this universe to explore and I'm curious about all of it. |

| arabella_figg | Orange is the New Black | Nicky Nichols, Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren | I love Nicky and I love Crazy Eyes, but I don't expect you to write them both, dear Author. If you want to, of course, please feel free. But honestly I'd love a story about either of them equally. They're my two favorite characters for vastly different reasons, and I just want to know everything about their lives up to the point they end up in prison. * Backstory! I want all the backstory. Nicky's life growing up with absentee parents. Where's her father? If he's alive, what's their relationship like? * It's implied that Crazy Eyes has at least one sibling. I'd love to see them growing up together. Did her mental illness present early, or later in her teen years like Amanda Bynes? Schizophrenia often presents in young adults, and she clearly has a good educational background, given her grasp of Shakespeare. Did she go to fancy private schools? What was that like? Was her sibling adopted too? * I am always up for holiday fic, if you'd like to show a holiday from either of their pasts. If you'd rather write about them in the current canon timeline, that's great too! Whatever inspires you will be great, I know it. (I'm fine with Nicky/Vause, in case that needs saying. I'm not a huge Vauseman fan, so feel free to do whatever with Nicky.) |

| arabella_figg | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Basically I want all the witches fic. I love the whole cast, so I have no preference for what characters you use, but if you want to tell me a creepy story involving canonical and/or witches of your own making, that would be really fun. If you want to explore Katrina's days in the coven, before she was trapped in limbo, that could be really interesting. Did General Washington have any interaction with the witches? Feel free to expand on the (admittedly already sketchy) mythology from the show. Or tell me about Abbie and Ichabod having to work with some modern-day witches to fight a new supernatural threat. Does Ichabod hold onto his old prejudices regarding witches, or is he trying to accept Katrina's secret identity and understand how magic works? Maybe Captain Irving is a secret witch. That would be amazing. I'm having a hard time articulating what I'm hoping for with this fandom beyond "NEEDS MOAR WITCHES", but basically, it needs more witches. Doesn't everything? |

| Aramley | Forbrydelsen | The Killing | Sarah Lund, Troels Hartmann | I'm going to love absolutely any fic featuring Sarah Lund being her usual amazing self. Fic that looks into her backstory, missing scenes from the series itself or fic that looks at what happens to her after the series is finished: anything! I love her interactions with Troels and I'd like to see them together, whether romantic or platonic. | letter |
| Aramley | Wolf Hall Series - Hilary Mantel | Thomas Cromwell (Wolf Hall) | I think Thomas Cromwell is just fascinating and whatever you want to write about him is something I want to read. Fic that explores the years he spent out of England? Fic that looks at his relationship with his family? A view of Cromwell from another character's POV? I'm really open to anything! | letter |

I'd love something with Anna-Karin or Ida (if you've read Fire), but honestly, I would adore any combination of the characters. I love them all equally. Ideally nothing that's too depressing, and no death. | letter | |
| arctic_apollo | Violeta Violeta trilogy - Kaizers Orchestra (Albums) | omething that explores the whole Beatrice/Violeta/Devil mess? Or how Kenneth deals with the supernatural stuff going on, or Violeta's relationship with Kenneth, or just Violeta view on the whole business with her father and mother and uncle. I will be happy with anything, I promise! | letter | |
| arctic_apollo | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke | Jonathan Strange, John Segundus | No slash, please. Maybe John Segundus meets the gentleman with thistle-down hair, things go badly (or not). Anyway, Segundus and Strange are friends. They have adventures? | letter |

| Arduinna | Burn Notice | Michael Westen, Sam Axe | lash or warm gen, any rating, please! I love how competent they both are, and how they're such a well-oiled team, even though they couldn't be more different in a lot of ways. The affection between them is so strong, and so unwavering; there's nothing they wouldn't do for each other. I'd love to see some light/warm moments about them and their strong connection to each other, anything from backstory to a slice of life to a case story. | letter |
| Arduinna | Forever Knight | Don Schanke | Gen, any rating, please! I adore Schanke and his straightforward pragmatism, and I miss him, and I'd love to see basically anything with him in it. Off on a case, riding around in the caddy with Nick, chivvying Nick into going to see a play or recital Jenny is in, filling out reports or answering to Stonetree or Cohen, at the Raven either officially or not — just Schanke being Schanke. | letter |
| Arduinna | Haven | Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos | lash or warm gen, any rating, please! The thing I love most about these two is their connection to each other; there's clearly so much good history there, despite the rougher patches they've had. I've loved watching it all the way through the series, and the first few eps of s4 have my heart in my eyes over how tight they are. I'd love to see some warmer, happier moments for them, anything from backstory to a slice of life to a missing scene to a case or Trouble that they have to deal with. (Please no explicit slash if they're under 16.) | letter |
| Arduinna | Kung Fu: The Legend Continues | Peter Caine, Kermit Griffin | lash or warm gen, any rating, please! Peter and Kermit always felt more like partners to me than anyone else on the show, including Peter and his actual partners. I love that sense of connection and absolute trust, and would love anything that goes into that. Anything you want to write about them would be great: the early days of them getting to know each other, working a mundane case together, working a mystical "case" together, winding down with a couple of beers or a quiet pot of tea, missing scenes or episode tags, futurefic of Kermit being Peter's "liason" and protector, or wherever else you want to go with them -- it's all good. | letter |
| Arduinna | The Equalizer | Robert McCall, Control (The Equalizer) | lash or gen, any rating, please! Control and McCall's relationship fascinates me. I'd love to see some backstory on it from before Control became Control -- anything you want, from plotty mission stuff to them sitting around having a drink somewhere. Or if backstory isn't your thing, something set during canon or post-canon, also good! Robert helping Control on a mission or Control helping Robert on a case; chess games; scotch in front of the fire; snarking about Jason or other snotty whippersnappers; cave or cabin fic; feeding pigeons in the park... I just want more of them being them: competent, sharp, urbane deadliness, with a deep well of trust and affection and understanding between them. | letter |
| Arduinna | Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey | Tarma shena Talesedrin, Kethry (Valdemar) | Gen, any rating, please! Tarma and Kethry are my all-time favorite Lackey characters: smart, practical/pragmatic, competent and determined to keep training/learning to maintain and improve on that competence, utterly loyal to each other, wry, self-aware — I just love them. And I love their relationship, built on bedrock but one they know they need to pay attention to (like the way Tarma has to make sure she doesn't wrap fully capable Kethry in cotton wool, just because she's promised to be the mother of Tarma's renewed tribe). I'd love anything about them: the early days of their lives as she'enedran and each of them adapting to suddenly knowing they'll never be alone again; off on a job (either a regular for-hire job, or something Need drives them to); learning to be part of a bigger mercenary force; their lives as teachers and running a school; time among the Clans; hanging out at an inn or resupplying at a marketplace; dealing with a storm out in the open — whatever may strike your fancy, I'm all for it. | letter |
| arem | House of Cards (US TV) | Francis Underwood | Any and all other characters, any rating, any anything welcome, but I want Francis, I want his ambition, I want the way he makes the unreasonable seem reasonable with charm and pragmatism. Would be very open to backstory -- the episode when he visits his alma mater fascinates me. | |
| arem | Vikings (TV) | World building, ambition, and threesomes. I love this cracky show, and am often moved by it against my will. Huge fan of Floki, so if you can work him into your narrative somewhere, that would be rad. | ||
| arem | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Take this cracky show and make it crackier. Give me exposition! Conspiracies! George Washington! Random witches! Demons! Can Sleepy Hollow be turned up to 12, since it's clearly already on 11? | letter | |
| arem | A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) | Gigolo Joe | How was Joe programmed/educated/trained to know so much about compassion and consent? This has haunted me since I saw this movie.

| ariadnes_string | Ripper Street | Homer Jackson, Edmund Reid, Bennet Drake, Deborah Goren | Any combination of these characters would be wonderful! Any slash pairings that intrigue you are fine with me (including threesomes)--and I'm intrigued by Reid's affair with Deborah, so an exploration of that would be great too. I'd love a fic that filled in the missing story of how Reid and Jackson first met. I'm also intrigued by Jackson's past in America, Bennet's past with the army in North Africa, and Deborah's past in Eastern Europe and journey to England, and I'd love fic that explored any of those scenarios, whether in relation to the "present" of the show or not. |

| ariadnes_string | Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater | Ronan Lynch, Richard Campbell, Gansey III | These guys are my favorite characters, but I like all the other characters, too (including Blue and her family and the other Lynch brothers) so feel free to bring them in. Slash, UST or gen is fine here--just interested in the intensity of the relationship. Backstory seems to be my theme this year, and I would love a fic about the year before first book starts--perhaps about Ronan's seeming suicide attempt. But I also find Gansey's sense that he looks after everyone and no one looks after him very touching, and would love to see Ronan caring for him somehow--in a Ronan-esque way, of course! |
letter |
| ariadnes_string | 20th Century CE RPF | George Mallory (20th Century CE RPF) | Wow! If we matched on this, dear author, you can do no wrong! Of course, I crave Everest expedition fic, of any kind. No need to write about the tragic en in 1924--just any characters, sharing tents, reading poetry to each other, dealing with the weather and other hardships, etc. all would be awesome! Of course, if you want to tackle other parts of Mallory's life, that would be fantastic, too! |
letter |
| ariadnes_string | Regeneration - Pat Barker | Billy Prior, W.H.R. Rivers (Regeneration), Charles Manning (Regeneration), Sarah Lumb | I think my dream fic for this would be something that takes place during the time Prior stays with Rivers in The Eye in the Door (assuming the Regeneration tag covers the whole trilogy). They have such an intimate and multi-layered relationship by that point in the story, if not an altogether comfortable one, and I'd love to see an exploration of it. A wonderful story along these lines was written a few years ago for someone else; I enjoyed it immensely, and it left me wanting more fics in that vein. Slash, gen or anything in between is fine! Now, if you do feel like writing porn, feel free to put Prior with anybody else, male or female, and let loose any or all of his canonical kinks. That would be awesome too! I'd also love a crossover here—import a character from another fandom on the list or one I've written in before (masterlist on AO3), give them shell shock, and let Rivers treat them. |

I'd love a fic where Phryne and Camellia and Chung work out an open relationship. If you've read the books, maybe something like what happened with the pirates and Grandma Lin? Or just chatting over tea? Or maybe it's Camellia's idea? Or if you don't want to write them in a relationship together, anything with them hanging out, talking philosophy or politics, or going dancing, or having adventures! | letter |

An AU where everyone lives? Tomfoolery around the camp? Slashyness on shipboard? Ying Ying and the princess practicing their Latin? Marcus' training montage? (He must have had a montage!) Marcus and Meng Li and Ying Ying travelling the world? Honestly, anything more with these characters would be wonderful. | letter | |
| Aris Merquoni (ArisTGD) | Eagles are Turning People Into Horses: The Movie | What happens after? Does Lyle ever become un-horsified? Does Hannah track down Brian? What was Eaglia's final plan? Or what happened before? How did Brian come to be? How did Lyle and the others learn about Eaglia (or did they?) How did Eaglia recruit Hannah? Really, anything that attempts to make sense of this movie, even if (especially if?) it fails will be fantastic! | letter | |
| Aris Merquoni (ArisTGD) | The Middleman (TV) | Any kind of adventures! I am a softie for "Wendy and the Middleman have to bring Lacey and Tyler in on the secret," so maybe there's some kind of trouble they need to recruit them for? Maybe Lacey and/or Tyler get their pineal gland severed and develop psychic powers? I have seen the table read for the lost final episode, so if you want to include that canon that's fine, but don't feel you have to. I love every single one of the characters on this show, so whoever you want to focus on I'm sure I'll be happy. Have Roxy kidnap Ida and go on a road trip with her. Have Noser get a breakout ventriloquism local-access TV show. All of them go to a concert or a gallery show? The wackiness of the Middleman universe has plenty of spaces for stories! | letter | |
| Aris Merquoni (ArisTGD) | The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. | Brisco County Jr, Lord Bowler, Socrates Poole | Adventures! Slash! Slashy adventures! If you want to write slash, I would prefer to get Brisco/Bowler, Bowler/Socrates, or an OT3 with all of them over strictly Brisco/Socrates slash. If you don't ship the others, gen adventure would also be great! I love all these characters and want to see them doing cool things. | letter |

| arysteia | Beau Geste - P. C. Wren | Michael Geste | ince there is literally no fic for this book, I would be delighted by almost anything as long as it's in the spirit of the original. I only requested Michael, in order to maximise my minuscule chances of matching, but you are welcome to include the other nominated characters as you see fit. Come to that, I wouldn't mind seeing a few of the non-nominated characters either, as appropriate. Given the original, central, conceit of the book, I have no preference for whether the story is told from Michael's perspective, or from someone else's following Zinderneuf. Or, indeed, someone else's before Zinderneuf. As the eponymous Beau Geste I can't imagine a narrative where he isn't central, but it could come from any vantage or perspective. I'm not wedded to timeframe either, and would enjoy tales of childhood, in the vein of John's retellings, or of adulthood whether at Brandon Abbas or in the Legion. Actually, I'd love an account of the Geste boys' schooldays, if you've a knack for boarding school stories, which are a personal genre favourite of mine. I can well imagine they were unholy terrors. I'd equally love to see John telling the story of his magnificent older brothers to his own children some day. Do the junior Gestes still receive the Order of Michael for conspicuous gallantry? In short, as long as Michael remains Beau, I will love anything you come up with. |

| arysteia | X-Factor (Comics) | Julio Richter (X-Factor Comics), Shatterstar (X-Factor Comics) | I came to this relatively late in the piece, as I wasn't a Marvel reader before the mid-2000s, but boy did I fall for it hard and fast. I've read all of Volume 3 (the just-concluded Peter David run) and have flicked my way through edited highlights of the original volumes of both X-Force and X-Factor. I'm not wedded to any particular period, and would love to read more about Rictor and Shatterstar's relationship at pretty much any point in its history, or indeed its future. I know there are parts of the backstory that are barely coherent (Shatterstar's origins, for example) and you can handwave (or ignore) those any way you want. I would dearly love to hear your take on just when the heck Rictor and Shatterstar actually got together, and how on earth they managed to sort it out. At school? In Mexico? What's up with all those breakups and all the running away? I love first times, and would love to read theirs. I also love breakups as long as they're followed by makeups. I don't think I could stand an unhappy ending on Christmas day, but as long as they get back together in the end I would eat up the preceding angst and self-indulgent misery with a spoon. Equally, if you prefer to look forward rather than back, I would dearly love to see their continuing adventures post The End. Do they stay in the Mojoverse, or do they come back to Earth? Do they manage to sort out their relationship and settle down? (Spoiler: I hope so.) Well. For a value of settling down that involves freeing the world together, or swashbuckling through galaxies and dimensions. I don't care where they go, as long as they go together. They deserve it after all this time. |

| arysteia | Young Avengers | Kid Loki (Young Avengers), Teddy Altman (Young Avengers), Billy Kaplan (Young Avengers) | I've read all of the previous volumes of Young Avengers, all of the Gillen run on Journey into Mystery, and all of the current volume of Young Avengers. I'm happy for you to set a story anywhere in terms of timeframe, with a marginal preference for present day or near future. I'm taking a slightly different approach here, since I asked for both Billy and Teddy, and Kid Loki. Let me say right off the bat that I don't actually require you to include all three in a single story, though you're certainly welcome to and I'd love it if you did. I'd be just as happy with a story about Billy and Teddy together, or one about Loki separately. Please don't swap that around though! Obviously if a slightly villainous Loki is causing trouble for Billy and Teddy, similarly to the doubts he's been casting about reality-warping recently, then that might potentially be the best of both worlds. Why on earth would anyone listen to a word he says? He's Loki. Ah, but he's Loki. Where to from here then? How do the boys get past the doubts and get back on track for that engagement we were promised? If you'd like to write straight Billy/Teddy, then I'd be keen for an origin story or some backstory. I've always loved the way they were together right from the start, and yet it leaves me curious all the same. Did Nate just luck out and find them already a couple, or did he track them down separately and then their eyes met across the room and it was love at first sight? If not, how did they meet? Was it a thunderbolt from the blue situation, or was there some awkwardness first? Did both of them already know they were gay, or did the attraction cause an epiphany? Or! One of the other things I've always been intrigued by is the fact that Billy's the one obsessed with finding family, despite the fact he already has a great one. What about poor Teddy, who actually has no living family? Does he ever get sick of Billy's self-absorption on this one crucial front? Or do they just build the perfect family of two (or eventually more) for each other? If, on the other hand, you'd like to write straight Loki, then I'd love some sort of exploration of the hero/villain dichotomy. Just what the heck is going on with him right now? We know he's meant to be old school adult Loki in Kid Loki's body, and yet we keep seeing flashes of Lil Loki, and his personality certainly seems more reminiscent of the tumblr loving kid than the angry, jealous adult of old. Is Loki senior just that good an actor? Or does something of wee Loki remain? Is there any chance the two might continue to integrate? Is Loki inescapably a villain, or might he still, with difficulty, wind up a hero? |

| arysteia | The Authority | Apollo (The Authority), Midnighter | I've read all of the old run of The Authority (except maybe the last few issues after The World's End, not 100% sure about that). I've also read the first dozen or so of the current volume of Stormwatch, though I understand they've now rebooted the reboot? Oh, DC, you really don't make it easy to love you. I'd probably prefer not to have a fic set post re-reboot, unless you think it will make perfect sense without that knowledge, but with that caveat I'm not fussed where and when you set your fic, or which continuity you use, or whether you want to cherry-pick from them all. I'd really love a back-story/origin story for Apollo and Midnighter. Feel free to take whatever attitude you want to the way we saw it play out in Stormwatch — use it, abuse it, change it, ignore it, pretend it never existed — I'll be just as happy any which way. We never really got to see it in the original volumes anyway, so if you want to explore it there instead that'd be grand. Play fast and loose with how much of the past they can/might remember too. I'd love to see some kind of exploration of who they were/what kind of lives they led, and how that might have led to them volunteering for the project, etc. Do they ever talk about it? Try to remember? Try to find out? Do they worry it might have any kind of impact on their feelings for each other? Would it? Does it? I'd also love a first time. In either continuity. Just how did they realise/confess their feelings for each other? Was it all one glorious rush to fate and inevitability, or did they have to work for it? Or! I have this sneaking sad fondness for Pluto and Daylighter from Apollo and Midnighter: Two Dangerous Ideas (Wildstorm Winter Special). [In a nutshell: the alt-versions of our heroes are both so snakey that Midnighter calls them out for being homophobic, at which point Daylighter weepily admits Pluto dumped him. That's really all there is to it.] What was so different in their universe that they couldn't stay together? Or do they ultimately get back together? What made this particular universe diverge? Or, from our boys' perspective, do they know and recognise the moment they almost broke/break up? Why/how did/do they manage to soldier through? |

| ashcat | Quantum Leap | Sam Beckett, Al Calavicci | I love Sam and Al as best friends or lovers whatever the author so chooses to write about. I would especially like a Quantum Leap holiday story set either while they were building Ziggy and the project with fun and friendship, during where it's angsty or making the best of a sad situation, or post the end where it's nothing but angst and bittersweet remembrance. However, if that's not your thing then anything showing them pre or post series or angsty during the series would work as well. I think they were amazing friends and truly missed one another and relied on each other throughout their entire friendship. Fix it fic is also welcomed since series end was gutting! :) | letter |
| ashcat | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Shado (Arrow TV), Slade Wilson (Arrow TV) | Oliver's time on the island is really fascinating to me. It can't all have been bad, or was it? Any moment you want to write, whether it's a quiet happy moment where they felt they won in some way, or how they blow off steam, or someone's illness or injury that had the others worried. Or, despite what Oliver told Thea, did they ever celebrate anything on the island (holidays, birthdays, etc)? I think that despite how hard they may have trained with one another or how harsh things had gotten that overall they care about one another so ultimately any fic I receive I'd prefer it to have that care being part of it even if it's hidden. I do ship them all together as a threesome (or Oliver with either) but I would equally love friendship fic depending on how you see them. | letter |
| ashcat | Revenge (TV) | Emily Thorne, Nolan Ross | How have things changed after the events of season 2 between Nolan and Emily? Can Emily find a way to be as good a friend to Nolan as he was to her? How does it change how Emily or Nolan views their friendship since Nolan lost Padma and had jail time for participating in Emily's revenge plot. Or perhaps a holiday fic related to how Emily and Nolan spent their first Christmas (or any other winter holiday) or New Years together once Emily was out of Juvenile Hall or how it went with Nolan being locked up recently? I don't actually ship Emily/Nolan in the present (so friendship only in present day) but love thoughts of hatesex when they were younger so feel free to go there in the past if you'd like. | letter |
| ashcat | Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan | Nynaeve al'Meara, Lan Mandragoran | Nynaeve and Lan are some of my very favorite characters in the series - how can you pick just one favorite? I am assuming most people are going to offer any here so I am going to leave my prompt to be open to many different character combos and I'd be equally happy with any of these so don't feel that you have to write Lan and Nyneave if you're more comfortable with some of the others. I would love your take on any of the following couples in the future after the end of the books: Nynaeve and Lan; Perrin and Faile; Matt and Tuon; Rand/Elayne/Aviendha/Min. If you don't like the idea of them past the end of the book, then write something about their hopes and dreams as one part of a couple for the other. How was real life better or worse than what they thought it would be like? What surprised them about being married or bonded? Feel free to write what interests you about them as part of a couple in the crazy world pre and post the war with the shadow. Holiday fic related to winter solstice or the like would also be welcome! | letter |
| Ashura | The Dalemark Quartet - Diana Wynne Jones | Moril Clennesson, Kialan Kerlsson | This is one of my secret-vice ships, but it needn't be shippy. I'd like to see Moril and Kialan after Moril leaves Hannart with Hestefan--either seeing each other again. or from a distance, whatever you feel inspired to do. I usually ignore Crown of Dalemark because I don't like it that much, but you don't have to. I just want to see them growing up and getting closer, whatever happens! | letter |
| Ashura | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Bran Davies aka Pendragon | I always want Will/Bran as it's my OTP of all OTPs, but since character requests are 'and' rather than 'or,' I've only asked for Bran. Because I'd also be happy with something about his life growing up (either before or after canon), or something dealing with his relationship with Owen. Just try to avoid pairing Will or Bran up with anyone else, unless it's a temporary school fling or something. (And not with Jane, please. I just can't get into pairing her with either of them.) | letter |
| Ashura | Everwood | Ephram Brown, Bright Abbott | Give me all the Bright and Ephram! Boys being boys, friendship or more than friends, just so they're IC I don't mind! Whatever other characters you want to include, or whichever season, all that's fine. I just miss this show and want to see them again. | letter |
| Ashura | Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis | Kivrin Engle | Kivrin is one of my favourites, and I'd like to see a bit of her life outside Doomsday Book. Whether it's during her preparations at Oxford, or after she gets home, or if you'd rather do a 'missing scene' from the book. I'm pretty open, I'd just like to see more of her. | letter |
| Ashura | Eight Days of Luke - Diana Wynne Jones | David Allard, Luke (Eight Days of Luke) | Another ship I ask for pretty much every year in the hopes of getting something lovely (and sometimes it works)! I can't think of anything I'd absolutely hate, as long as they're both in character. I'd love to see some kind of stolen moment, later in David's life. | letter |
| Asselin | The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett | Archibald Craven (The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett), Colin Craven | Details will be in my letter. | letter |
| Asselin | Le Fantôme de l'Opéra | Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux | Raoul de Chagny Erik | Phantom of the Opera (Leroux) | Details will be in my letter. | letter |
| Asselin | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | Natsume Takashi, Tanuma Kaname, Madara "Nyanko-sensei" | Details will be in my letter. | letter |
| Asselin | Watchmen (2009) | Rorschach (Watchmen 2009), Nite Owl (Watchmen 2009) | Details will be in my letter. | letter |
| Asselin | Gaunt's Ghosts - Dan Abnett | Elim Rawne, Ibram Gaunt | Details will be in my letter. | letter |
| Asselin | The Eagle | The Eagle of the Ninth (2011) | Marcus Flavius, Aquila (The Eagle), Esca Mac Cunoval | Details will be in my letter. | letter |
| Assimbya | The Scarlet House - Angela Carter | "The Scarlet House" shows us a little piece of an intriguing and terrifying world, and I would love more. What does our narrator not see, and how much of her perception of events is accurate? What is actually going on with the Count and Madame Shreck? What are the stories of the other captive women? How did the Count's project begin? In the narrator's resistance to the Count's manipulations, are we seeing the beginning of a rebellion? | letter | |
| Assimbya | Les liaisons dangereuses | Dangerous Liaisons - Choderlos de Laclos | Madame de Tourvel, Cecile de Volanges | This is an either/or request - you don't need to include both Cecile and Tourvel in the same story, though I would certainly be interested in seeing them meet! We get very limited glimpses of the inner lives of both of these women in the novel, and I would love to see these characters explored with respect and dignity. Cecile is one of the novel's only survivors - what does the rest of her life look like, in the wake of Valmont and Merteuil's manipulations? I would love to hear about Tourvel's life pre-Valmont, or what her experience of her relationship with him was like. (I also have a strong fascination with the fact that Tourvel and Merteuil never interact in the novel and would love exploration of that.) I do ask that you don't treat Valmont's rape of Cecile humorously or imply that she wanted it - I know those are heavy topics, but that kind of victim-blaming is really sensitive for me. | letter |
| Assimbya | Ariane et Barbe Bleu - Dukas/Maeterlinck | I love this eerie, delicate, impressionist opera and all its unanswered questions. I would love to read more about the things that the opera only hints at. I would love a story about the other wives, either their lives before Ariane's rescue or their experience in the aftermath of the opera, dealing with the ramifications of their choice to stay. Or the story of what happens to Ariane after the opera, as she walks off alone into her future. | letter | |
| Assimbya | Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein | Anna Engel, Julie Beaufort-Stuart | I love Anna and Julie so much it makes my heart ache, and I want to see more of the two of them interacting, especially since we get these tantalizing glimpses of the parts of their interactions that Julie was concealing when Anna talks to Maddie. I'm also very interested in Von Linden as a character, so developing either of the women's interactions with him would be much welcome. Anything that gets us inside Anna's head or shows more of Julie's beautiful resilience would be incredible. I've read Rose Under Fire, so it's fine if you want to incorporate any of the addition information on Anna that we get there. | letter |
| Assimbya | Rose Under Fire - Elizabeth Wein | Anna Engel (Rose Under Fire) | (Yes, I am indeed requesting the same character in two different books. I love her sort of a lot.) I love Anna, and her bitterness and her brittle strength and her perseverance. Rose Under Fire gave us these hints of her at all different parts of her life, and I would love to see any of them explored - her days in Ravensbruck as a pharmacist and then as a prisoner, her years in post-war Germany, whatever happens after the end of the novel (is she imprisoned? What is that like? What does she do afterwards?). I feel that she deserves a story of her own just as much as Maddie or Rose or Julie! If Anna really isn't inspiring you right now, I would also love more of Roza or Irina. |
letter |
| Assimbya | Deathless - Catherynne M. Valente | Koschei (Deathless), Marya Morevna | Koschei and Marya hit all my kinks and make me cry, and I just want more of them, separely or together. Koschei/Marya/Ivan OT3 is the best thing ever, and mind games and powerplay between the three of them would be delicious. I would also love more tense negotiation between Koschei and Marya either in Buyan or in Marya's basement, stories about Koschei's life before Marya (I want more of the Yelenas, his coldness and the horrible tragedy of it), episodes from Marya's time as a heartless general...I am very, very easy to please here. | |
| Astarlia | A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend - Emily Horner | Anything would be awesome. About the only thing I don't really want to see is Cass pining about not being able to have Julia. So things set during the road trip would be fine, anything current or future with cass and heather, anything from Heathers life before the plot, au where julia doesn't die. srsly anything. porn is fine too. |
||
| Astarlia | Switched at Birth (TV) | I like Bay, Daphne, Emmett, and Toby. Not a fan of any of the parents, or when they get all super complainey and angsty | ||
| Astarlia | Decked with Holly - Marni Bates | post book fluff/porn :) | ||
| Astarlia | The Boy Book - E. Lockhart | nd then ruby and noel got together the end | ||
| astheradioplays | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | William Laurence | We all know Laurence used to be in the Navy. We also know that he had friends in the navy. I would completely love a story where he (and the rest of the formation) meets them and have to work together with them against the enemy. Laurence's reactions, his old friends reactions, his new friends reactions, I'm curious about all of it. I also like stories that are about Laurence, but that aren't in his or Temeraires point of view. | letter |
| astheradioplays | The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones | Christopher Chant, Millie | Millie Chant | I have always loved the fact that Christopher is completely aware of the fact that Millie is amazing, and badass, and someone you should always have on your side. And Christopher isn't bad himself either. I'd love a fic where they off on an adventure together, kicking ass and taking names, saving all the related worlds in the process. | letter |
| astheradioplays | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Sybil Ramkin | bil Ramkin is one of my all-time favourite characters and pretty much any story with her as the central character would make me very happy. It could be a story from her life before we got met her in Guards! Guards!, (or scenes, "five times and one time it/she didn't” style), her side of the story of meeting Vimes, the reason why she calls Vetinari by his given name, or her and Young Sam on some adventure while Vimes is off Vimes-ing, perhaps solving a puzzle or two in the process. | letter |
| astheradioplays | Hornblower - C. S. Forester | William Bush (Forester), Horatio Hornblower (Forester), Barbara Wellesley (Forester) | Being a close to Horatio Hornblower can be absolutely fantastic. It is also pretty darn frustrating. Luckily for Lady Barbara and William Bush, they have each other. I'd love a fic where they become fast friends, starting with Hornblower (who could be as bemused or oblivious as you want) and trickling over into other aspects in their life. Whether you make it angsty — because Horatio Hornblower is part of this after all — or pretty much crack; 'Hello and welcome to Close Relations of Horatio Hornblower Anonymous', is totally fine by me. |
letter |
| astolat | Twin Peaks | Dale Cooper, Audrey Horne | I remain unendingly frustrated that the show never consummated their relationship, but adore Cooper's honorable reluctance, Audrey's determined pursuit, and the UST it did give us. I'd love anything from gen adventure to a single tense moment that either does or doesn't take them over the line. I'd be completely fine with stories set during the run or afterwards, that disregard the ending or their other love interests, etc, and also would be totally into other kinds of AU or fusion -- Sentinel/Guide AU? Black Jewels fusion? Post-apocalyptic? (If you want to go that route, feel free to use whatever AU you want, I only ask that you keep the fantastical/supernatural element of Twin Peaks -- no barista AU for me, please! |
letter |
| astolat | Wiseguy | Sonny Steelgrave, Vinnie Terranova | This relationship is at once terrible and wonderful. I love that they truly like and ultimately love each other, despite all the reasons they shouldn't, and the way that traps Vinnie between two choices of betrayal and what that does to him. I would love slash here, but would also adore anything that gives me gen intimacy and friendship (with all the associated agony on Vinnie's side). As in my first prompt, I'm all for any kind of AU or fusion you want to go with. Because the show gives us the consequences of Vinnie choosing to do his job and betray Sonny, I'm generally more interested in seeing what happens if he makes the other choice, but I'd also love a story before the showdown at the Rialto, just another adventure the two of them have together. |
letter |
| astolat | Belgariad/Malloreon Series - David & Leigh Eddings | Zakath (Belgariad/Malloreon), Garion (Belgariad/Malloreon) | Their relationship is my favorite, and of it my single favorite moment in the entire series is the one where Garion gets fed up being held prisoner by Zakath, yells he'll use his sword for a key, and blows a giant hole in the wall of Zakath's palace. I'd be delighted with slash, with one qualifier: please no bashing of the women in their lives! Feel free to just ignore the issue and I can headwank it, or if you want to throw Ce'Nedra and/or Cyradis in and make a three/foursome that's just fine by me, have them scandalize Garion and want to watch ;), or they can just be fine with the two of them having it on. But slash or gen, give me more of them bickering and bantering, either during or after the series and I'll be happy! |
letter |
| astolat | Peter Pan - J. M. Barrie | Wendy Darling, Captain Hook (Peter Pan) | I love Captain Hook and Wendy both heaps and heaps (and Peter always annoyed me massively, cough). I'd like something where Wendy and Hook interact and have some kind of adventure together, mostly or wholly without Peter, either as worthy antagonists or reluctant allies in some way. If you set it during Wendy's time in Neverland, I do ask please nothing underage and explicit, on a sliding scale -- that is, if you make Wendy an older teen on the cusp of womanhood, I'm happy to have her be attracted to Hook and have awkward complicated feelings, and for him to toy with her, but not much more than that, and still less the younger Wendy is. If you AU it and do an older Wendy who's already grown up, which I'm all for, then as explicit as you like. I'd also be delighted with reinvention like a fairytale retelling or the kind of thing OUAT does -- reinterpret Hook and Wendy and Pan and Neverland entirely, throw it into the modern day or some other fictional universe/historical period, etc. |
letter |
| astralis | Arctic Air | Any combination of characters saving the day, going about their daily lives, or just hanging out. | letter | |
| astralis | Falling Skies | Anne Glass, Margaret (Falling Skies) | This can really be summed up as "Anne and/or Maggie having lives that don't focus entirely on their relationships with Tom/Hal." | letter |
| astralis | Higher Ground | Any combination of the girls interacting, during or after the series, whether that's silly hijinks in the dorm, dealing with the issues that brought them to Horizon, or anything in between. | letter | |
| astralis | SpaceCamp (1986) | Andie Bergstrom | Andie Bergstrom, being awesome, with bonus Zach or anyone else, set before, during, or after the movie. | letter |
| astrokath | Exiles Saga and Galactic Milieu - Julian May | Marc Remillard | Atoning Unifex | There is nothing I like better than highly competent people being highly competent, doing great things, making mistakes and somehow overcoming them. If they have dubious ideals and the scope for eventual redemption, all the better. (Want to lose a week — go read the Magnificent Bastard entry over on TVTropes.) So, yeah. Marc/Atoning Unifex is a big favourite of mine. Make it dark. Make it bleak. Make it fluffy and funny. I DON'T CARE SO LONG AS I GET MARC/UNIFEX! I'd prefer to see him at the Marc end of his life, but an appearance as Unifex would be just as welcome. If you can find a tipping point in his personality, something that makes him question and reflect and grow, something that makes him learn something about himself or others, or that leads to him doing some unexpected good (or the inverse) I will be a very, very happy recipient. In terms of worldbuilding, I'd love to see some exploration of alien cultures like the Krondaku, the technology and mythology of operancy, the exploration and colonisation of new worlds, projects where operant aliens and humans work together and such like, but that's really just a bit more ideas-fodder for you than an actual request. Feel free to bring in any of the other eligible characters (Rogi is another favourite - he's witnessed so much. Was there anything that AU wanted him to see or do that he sidled out of, and what were the consequences? Does he ever *get* unity?) but please keep Marc front and centre. Bonus points for the appearance of any incarnation of Marcel La Plume! | letter |
| astrokath | A Song For Arbonne - Guy Gavriel Kay | Blaise of Gorhaut, Lisseut de Vezet | If you matched me on Arbonne, bravo, you brave person, you! I hope you love this book as much as I do. I've requested Blaise and Lisseut, but please feel free to treat this as an OR request if you'd prefer writing just one of them rather than both characters. I love how well Lisseut moves through her world, and the quiet way she discovers her centre and her heart. I'd like to see more of that depth of character, and if you can give me a feel for her songs and her music, I will be bouncing off the walls with happiness. Blaise is, well, AMAZING. He's an archetype I have a bit of a thing for — you may spot the running theme in my requests this year... What would I like in a Blaise story? There's a lot of unexplored back story for ASfA, with a lot of scope for all sorts of mental, physical and emotional development... and lots of potential for interesting encounters with various other characters, past present or future. Deleted scenes, future fics and canon-deviation stories would be very cool. Both characters together? You can't disappoint me there. Show me something in their lives that goes well, or something that doesn't, show me them dealing with crises in different ways, show them learning something from/about each other. ANYTHING. | letter |
| astrokath | Tigana - Guy Gavriel Kay | Brandin of Ygrath | Much kudos to you if you've offered to write this fandom. Kay isn't a fandom I offer lightly. I've only requested Brandin, but feel free to bring in any of the other canon characters in a supporting role if you want. Why Brandin? Same reasons as for my other character requests: he's dynamic, competent, ruthless and also broken by the weight of his own emotions. If you can write me a story focussing on any of the key moments in his life, canon or otherwise, in The Palm or back in Ygrath, that'd be amazing. Scheming would be delightful. Him knowing Dianora's game and trusting himself to stay in control while it unfolds and being surprised by how it changes would also be fantastic. Or just the small details of his life, the things that delight him, the things that drive him when he isn't all warped by what happened with Valentin and Steven. Show me Brandin the person. Or Brandin the monster. Or the man who's aware and conflicted by being both things at once. I hope that doesn't scare you off! If it's a bit too intense, just write what you want. I'll still be thrilled to bits, I guarantee it. |
letter |
| astrokath | In the Flesh (TV) | A very British zombie apocalypse, this. Again, it's all about the characters, about prejudice and acceptance, internal and external. Small town mentalities versus underlying truths of humanity. Love and regret and life and death and RAVENING HORDES OF THE UNDEAD CHEWING ON BRAINS! I've requested any characters for this one, and I mean it. Take your pick. I'd love to see an exploration of the Rising itself, what happens in the rehab centres, how the Risen continue with their lives, how Roarton adapts, how Britain adapts, what's up with the Prophet, ANYTHING. This fandom is wide open right now. Focus on the world, on the characters, on their lives, on their relationships, I really don't mind. Show the Risen getting used to everyday things again — employment, holidays, meaningless things. Show Jem taking some of those levels in Badass when the whole Rising kicks off. Focus on a location: the supermarket, the cave in the woods, the graveyard, anywhere. Make it plotty or thematic or issues-based or just about ZOMBIES GETTING IN THE WAY OF WIMBLEDON, or something. I just think this is a fantastic series, very underappreciated, and desperately in need of more fic. | letter | |
| astrokath | Laundry - Charles Stross | Bob Howard | F with the surreal in the best way possible. It's Charles Stross' Laundry novels. Geek heroics and magical technobabble against the backdrop of truly dreadful Lovecraftian Horrors. What's not to love? I've read the whole lot, up to and including Equoid. Any plot elements that tie in to real world current/recent affairs (PRISM, anyone?) would be very interesting to see, as would exploration of the worldbuilding or unseen parts of Bob's life (or that of any of the other characters to be honest). Anything from weirdness to mild horror up to a close escape from CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN would be fine, but I'd prefer not to see any death of innocent bystanders up close. The Laundry is also where I'd be fine with crossovers from a select few other eligible yuletide fandoms. The crack potential of crossing The Laundry with Green Wing or The IT Crowd is probably sufficient to wake the sleepers...if you're familiar with either of those and like the idea, go for it! But this is another case of a small, underappreciated fandom, and I just want fic. ANY fic. Seriously. | letter |
| astrokath | Black Holes and Revelations - Muse (Album) | This is where my requests start to diverge. If you can come up with a story based on/inspired by any of the listed songs in the character list, I'd be thrilled to bits. Tie them thematically to one of my other requested fandoms? EVEN MORE THRILLED. If you'd prefer to bring in the nominations from The Resistance (which I didn't request) that's fine by me, though I do prefer the songs in BH&R. Cross them over into other non-requested fandoms? Please check it's something I'm familiar with first/ask via a mod for me to provide some specific suggestions. (I think Dragonriders of Pern and The Culture are my other two faves that I've not mentioned elsewhere in my yulegoat letter yet.) Or just go to town with it in whatever manner you're most comfortable with. | letter | |
| athenejen | Lost Coastlines (Song) | A journey of uncertain duration, to unknown, unmapped lands, away from the familiar, towards such unpredictable things as melee escapes and foreign lords and faraway stars. Lost, but every night still "rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide." Feel free to go as literal or as metaphorical as you like, as long as that spirit of adventure is there. (This song is wonderful -- if you haven't heard it before, I highly recommend that you hop over to my letter and give it a listen!) | letter | |
| athenejen | 莊子 | Zhuāngzǐ - 莊周 | Zhuāng Zhōu | 莊子 | Zhuāngzǐ 惠子 | Huìzǐ | I love Zhuangzi and Huizi's bantery, fond relationship built on mutual respect despite philosophical differences. Please give me another Daoist story featuring the two of them along the lines of those in the book, but feel free to go wild with the setting and/or content -- modernize it, set it in the near future or far future, give them an alternate universe or crossover to play in, put them in a different historical milieu, keep them in their own historical context, it's completely up to you! I'm fine with slash but what I really love about their relationship is the friendship and intellectual rapport. As long as the heart of the story is Daoist philosophy and features them, I will be thrilled. | letter |
| athenejen | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | Beverley Brook | I can't help but feel that Beverley's gotten rather short shrift so far in the series, despite her cameo appearances after the first book and occasional mentions in passing. Maybe Aaronovitch is building up to something involving her, but in the meantime, I want more Beverley! Feel free to explore any aspect of her life that floats your boat (... no pun intended), be it her early life as a river (or pre-river, even), her perspective on some of the events of the books, or speculation into how things go in the future. I would love to read something about her time in the countryside as part of the exchange agreement, as just one example. I'm fine with gen, het, slash, femslash, it's all good. Really, whatever you want to write about Beverley being her awesome self, I want to read! | letter |
| athenejen | Gosford Park (2001) | Mary MacEachran, Elsie (Gosford Park) | One of my favorite subtle things about this movie is the development of Elsie and Mary's relationship -- there's just something really down-to-earth and honest and supportive about it that's wonderful to see, especially given their contrasting personalities. I liked how Elsie took Mary under her wing without being dismissive or condescending, and how over the course of the film they seemed to build up a real, if mostly unspoken, understanding and rapport. I would love to read something post-movie (maybe epistolary, or Mary visiting Elsie in America, or vice versa, or Elsie moving back to Britain, or anything else you can think of, really), but I could see an interstitial story (set during the events of the movie) working brilliantly also, and I love both female friendship stories and femslash, so whichever you prefer works for me. I think both of their perspectives changed a little because they met, and getting to see more of that would be lovely, but in the end, I just want more of them being awesome together. | letter |
| athersgeo | Bourne (Movies) | Aaron Cross (Bourne Movies), Jason Bourne, Nicky Parsons (Bourne Movies), Marta Shearing (Bourne Movies) | I'd love to see a story that ties the two pairs together - Jason and Aaron meet, or Marta and Nicky meet, or some combination. | letter |
| athersgeo | The Cutting Edge (1992) | What happened next (and I don't mean the rather awful sequel that got made and that doesn't even fit with the original and...I'll stop ranting at this point!) | letter | |
| athersgeo | Clutching At Straws - Marillion (album) | I love this album. Even if you're not familiar with Marillion, I recommend it to you as a great piece of musical story telling. With that out of the way... What I'd most like to see is something set in the bar that's referenced in the opening couple of tracks, or something in the world from "White Russian". Torch is the album's narrator (I was struggling with the noms form which is why he isn't available as a character - sorry!), so something from his point of view - or even an outside point of view, looking at Torch - would also be great. | letter | |
| athersgeo | Arrow (TV 2012) | Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV) | A day in the life of Felicity Smoak. EIther before she joined Dig and Ollie, or after. Preferably set in season 1 (I'm in the UK so I'm liable to be an episode or two behind!), but I don't have any wild problems with spoilers so if there's a perfect spot in season 2 to fit this, feel free to go for it! | letter |
| athersgeo | Chalet School - Elinor M. Brent-Dyer | Len Maynard Josephine Bettany Maynard Nell Wilson Grizel Cochrane | I'd love to see a conversation between Len and any of the other characters I've picked about her future. It can be set after the end of the series or it could be set during (to suit you). Please note: I'm a fan of EBD's characters as EBD intended them - that means not turning Jo into a harpy! | letter |
| athousandwinds | Sword Song - Rosemary Sutcliff | Angharad (Sword Song) | I'd really love something about Angharad and her life - either before Bjarni, having to deal with the transition from the convent to village life, or after, when she goes away with him. I'm fascinated by their relationship and how they deal with each other when there's not an immediate crisis: do they struggle, do they fit in well, do they have to leave again? One of the big themes of the book is this idea of home. Angharad's been uprooted twice - three times? - by the end of the story, so what does she consider home? | |
| athousandwinds | Dragon Age - Various Authors | Rowan Guerrin (Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne), Loghain Mac Tir (Dragon Age Novels) | These two were my favourite thing about The Stolen Throne - more than anyone else in the books, they seemed to be utterly dedicated to their cause, to the point of selflessness, and I'd love something that went deeper into that. It's not without its dark side, either: Loghain's decision re: Katriel is kind of the acme of that. I'd be interested in just about anything regarding them, especially anything set during book time or afterwards. How did they interact, after Rowan's marriage? How did Rowan learn to live with Maric, given all the history there? How did Cailan react to Loghain, once he knew the entire story? (Poor kid, it must have been super awkward.) Or maybe an AU where Maric died and Rowan ended up Queen regnant? | |
| athousandwinds | Sadler's Wells - Lorna Hill | Fiona Scott, Veronica Weston, Sebastian Scott | I love all three of these characters! I'd really enjoy something that focused on the relationship between the three of them - I've always thought Fiona had a bit of a thoroughly unrequited crush on Sebastian, for example, and it's interesting that Veronica seems to want to make peace between her and Fiona (though it's clear from the later books that it doesn't exactly last). I wonder what's going on with Fiona in the first three books - sometimes she seems angry that Veronica, Sebastian and Caroline have their own little world without her, even though she's effectively brought it on herself. | |
| athousandwinds | Witch Hunter Robin | Robin Sena Amon (Witch Hunter Robin) | These two and their shadowy relationship - half the time it seems like no one gets what's going on with them, including them - are incredibly interesting to me. I'd love to see more about what they do on the run: do they have a plan? Do they even know what they want to do? Amon's clearly no good at maintaining basic relationships (girlfriend, co-workers, brother), so how does he deal with being in constant contact with one person? Robin's also a pretty isolated person, so the same goes for her. Their mix of trust/broken trust is a pretty uncertain cocktail - I'd love to know how that works out for them in the long run. | |
| athousandwinds | Cain Saga and Godchild | Cain C. Hargreaves, Mary Weather Hargreaves Riffael, "Riff" Raffit | I think this is one of my favourite fucked-up domestic situations in manga: everyone with their secrets and their power differentials and their you-and-me-against-the-world mentality, while maintaining what is actually a happy family, against all the odds. I'd love an outsider POV on them: Oscar or an OC or Alexis, whatever works for you. If that's not your bag, anything about them solving a mystery or having a party or dealing with a fight would be just as great. | |
| athousandwinds | Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi | Spirited Away | Ogino Chihiro, Nigihayami Kohakunushi | Haku | I'd adore fic about these two meeting again after the film, one way or another - I've always wanted to know what happened to them, where Haku went after he left Yubaba, and if Chihiro remembered the events of the film. Does Haku go looking for her? Does Chihiro go looking for him? What would happen if a dragon appeared in the middle of Chihiro's real life? I love the idea inherent in the premise of the story, that you can just go walking one day and not even notice you've crossed over into another world, so any fic that played with that would be fantastic. | |
| Atlantia | Big Wolf on Campus | Merton Dingle, Tommy Dawkins | I love anything with Tommy / Merton, but I generally prefer stories where they get together, rather than established relationship fics. Something with both of them slightly older, either in college or after is also great, and I like stories that deal with them telling people and the fallout of that. | |
| Atlantia | Sky High (2005) | Will Stronghold, Warren Peace | More people need to write for this pairing... and the fandom in general! Will / Warren is excellent, there is the conflict with Warren's past, the expectations of Will's parents... it's a rich gold mine! It's also really interesting seeing the different takes people put on how their relationship could possibly work. |
|
| Atlantia | Roswell (TV) | Michael Guerin, Max Evans | Powers, aliens, secrets, trouble with authority... I love this pairing. Maybe something to do with them when they were older, or just realising why they always fight. | |
| Atlantia | Hornblower (TV) | Horatio Hornblower (Hornblower TV), Archie Kennedy (TV) | Have you got the sense by now that I like pairings that thrive on conflict? If not with each other, then at least with society at large! But whatever you do in this pairing, no Archie is dead / dying fics... |
|
| Atlantia | Social Network (2010) RPF | Jesse Eisenberg (Social Network RPF), Andrew Garfield (Social Network RPF) | These 2 are the most adorable imaginary couple ever. I especially love stories about dealing with Jesse's condition, though I have to admit that I like it when it is exaggerated slightly (how do you say that and not sound like a dick? :) ) | |
| atlanticslide | Baseball RPF | Bryce Harper, Jayson Werth | I just love the sort of mentor/student relationship these two have, how Werth looks out for Harper and is trying to teach him about the game and about playing outfield, etc, and Harper just totally looks up to Werth and almost seems like he's trying to emulate him in a lot of ways. Harper is like the over-eager puppy who gets into trouble but just really wants to please his team and play well, while Werth is the grizzled older veteran trying to keep the young upstart in check. I'd love to read something that gets into those aspects of their relationship, maybe surrounding their loss in the playoffs last year or missing the playoffs this year, or some hurt/comfort (with how much they were both injured this year). (please see my letter for more!) | letter |
| atlanticslide | Blue Bloods (TV) | Noble Sanfino, Jamie Reagan | I really like the kind of twisted relationship between Jamie and Noble, with Noble taking an immediate and intense liking to Jamie (or "Jimmy") without really knowing him, and Jamie having mixed feelings towards Noble, knowing that he's not really a good guy but seeming to come to like him despite that. I'd love to read something from either of their points of view maybe after the end of Season 2, Noble maybe somehow reconnecting with Jamie and their relationship developing from there now that they're on the same page, or something set earlier on, maybe getting into just why Noble takes such a quick shine to Jamie. (please see my letter for more!) | letter |
| atlanticslide | Space: Above and Beyond | Cooper Hawkes, Nathan West | Preferably set after the last episode. I always liked to believe that the others all somehow survived and were rescued, but I'd love something about how Hawkes and West handle being the only ones left, how they cope as individuals and, in particular, how they cope together. If they find or otherwise reconnect with the others, all the better, but in particular I'm just really interested in the relationship between these two, whether shippy or platonic. (please see my letter for more!) | letter |
| atlanticslide | World War Z (2013) | One of the big things I really loved about this movie was the theme of family and bonds between the characters, people caring for one another and fighting for each other, so I'd love to read something that focuses on that, for any or all of the characters. Something about where they all go moving forward after the movie, whether Segen sticks with Gerry and his family, how Tommy deals with the loss of his parents and being incorporated into the Lane family, anything about Gerry and Karin's relationship and how the family bands together now, anything along any of those lines. (please see my letter for more!) | letter | |
| atlanticslide | Dance Academy | Grace Whitney, Kat Karamakov | I would love femslash for these two. Maybe an odd pairing, so if you're not into slashing them I understand, and would enjoy gen with something about them building a friendship, maybe bonding over their similar family histories and having similar feelings about dance despite their totally different personalities. I'd love something set during or after Season 3 - I don't want to say anything more than that in case you haven't seen it, so more details are in my letter, under a spoiler cut. If not Season 3, then maybe something set in the midst of Season 2, in that period where there was particular tension between them over Tara's friendship, or right after Season 2 when it seemed to really hit Grace how much she was missing out by not having any of those close bonds that the others seemed to have. Just generally something about these two growing closer, maybe bickering over Tara or their general personality clashes, and eventually coming to some sort of understanding that brings them closer. (please see my letter for more!) |
letter |
| atreic | Twisted Princess (Disney Fanart) | Maid Marian (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01) | I have a deep childhood love of the Disney Robin Hood, and another of Maid Marian and Her Merry Men (an English TV series where Robin was gormless and Maid Marian had to save the day all the time). And I love angsty stories of Death and Revenge. And I really like foxes. I'd like to think that even Twisted!Marian would still retain some sense of Robin's mission and want to help the poor of Sherwood Forest as well as taking her revenge. But really, do whatever you want with this, Yuletide Author, and I am sure it will be great! | |
| atreic | Chronicles of Amber - Roger Zelazny | Fiona (Chronicles of Amber) | Really, any Amber fic about Fiona will be brilliant. So feel free to have fun! But what I really like about Amber is the way it is full of plots and cleverness and scheming and power struggles, and ambiguity about who is good or bad. And I love the way Fiona is beautiful and intelligent and so machiavellian. Possible ideas just in case they're helpful - Fiona wants something, and is prepared to manipulate anyone who gets in her way. (I know, that's a bit of a given for almost any Fiona story, really!) - Fiona hellrides around on glorious horses with her red hair flying in the wind ;-) - Some famous event in history turns out to actually be influenced by the Amberites. - Any story about the twisted ways Amberites relate to their siblings and children is always fun. - Dara is my second favourite Amber character after Fiona (at least in the first five books, where she is young and can handle a sword and is just starting to dabble in deceit), a story where they met and fell in love / hated each other / both would be great :-) - Crazy crack fiction where Fiona ends up taking over a pirate ship and hell riding it across the seas through a storm as a pirate captain. [I only really adore the first five books, so while I won't mind if what you really want to do is write a Ghostwheel story, I'm much more enthusiastic about early-Amber] I wrote Amber fic a few Yuletides back, it might give you a feel for the sort of thing I like... |
|
| atreic | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman | Lyra Belacqua | Again, any fic about Lyra would be brilliant, and you should feel free to have fun! But what do I particularly love about the books? I love the world - particularly the AU Oxford, and the fenlands of the gyptians. I love the daemons, and the relationship between Pan and Lyra. I love Lyra's wild fierceness, her sense of adventure. And I love and hate the ending, the fact that they did their duty and went on to build the republic of heaven without each other. Possible ideas - Any story with young!Lyra having fun with Pan would be great. What would it be like having a daemon that could fly, and swim, and sneak through cracks? - I will never say no to fix-it fic where Will and Lyra get a chance to be happy. Or little snippets from the timeline of the books that just have them happily together - What would have happened if Marisa hadn't died? What would happen if she escaped the Abyss and met Lyra - an older, wiser, Lyra - years after the end of the books? I wrote His Dark Materials fic a few Yuletides back, it might give you a feel for the sort of thing I like... |
|
| atreic | Arcadia - Stoppard | I love everything about this play. I think the central thing that captures me is the balance between the bitter sadness - everything will wind down, Thomasina dies - and the joy - things lost will be found again, there will always be a moment when we waltz. The way some bits move me to tears, and then other lines make me laugh out loud. I have no idea what sort of fic you could write to play on that theme though. Basically, I will love anything Arcadia inspired, whatever it is! If you want some inspiration, here are some ideas, but feel free to take them or leave them - Just Thomasina talking to Septimus. I could listen to them all day, an extra story about a lesson we never saw in the play would be lovely. - Crack-fic where you write the story from Plautus's perspective. Lots of lettuce. - Did Septimus spend all of the rest of his life in the hermatage? It doesn't have to be gooey fix-it fic, but did he manage to find some happiness? - What would happen if some Deeply Implausible Plot Device put Thomasina and Chloe in the same place? Would they like each other? What would they talk about? |

| audrey1nd | Minutemen (2008) | Charlie Tuttle, Zeke Thompson, Virgil Fox, Jeanette Pachelewski | This is the movie of my heart. Gay breakup scene and threesomes. Any ships are fine, but I do love me so Nick Braun, so porn with Zeke would be especially appreciated. | letter |
| audrey1nd | Sky High (2005) | Layla Williams, Warren Peace, Magenta (Sky High), Zach (Sky High) | OT3 and more are my favs. I really liked Layla/Warren and Layla/Warren/Will is my OT3 for this fandom. And Magenta is just awesome. | letter |
| audrey1nd | The Mindy Project | Mindy Lahiri, Jeremy Reed, Betsy Putch, Danny Castellano | I just really want Mindy/Danny pwp but then they get married and have babies fic. Jeremy/Betsy is adorable, but I'd prefer them as a side ship to the Mindy/Danny. | letter |
| audrey1nd | Lost Girl | Kenzi (Lost Girl), Hale (Lost Girl), Dyson (Lost Girl), Tamsin (Lost Girl) | Obviously Kenzi is the best. I would like a Kenzi shipping fic, either Dyson or Hale. Tamsin/Bo/Dyson would also be welcome. | letter |
| audrey1nd | Vikings (TV) | Athelstan (Vikings), Lagertha (Vikings), Bjorn (Vikings), Ragnar Lothbrok | Athelstan/Lagertha/Ragnar, or given the events of the season finale, just Athelstan/Lagertha. Bjorn being sassy is the best. | letter |
| augusta_brie | World Trigger (Manga) | Arashiyama Jun | Definitely anything Jun related! I really enjoy the interplay between Jun and the other units, specifically with Jin, Tachikawa, and Izumi. Friendship fic, training fic when they were younger - awesome! However, anything that was solely focussed on Jun would also be amazing. Fic that explores why Jun is the face of Border and the complications and angst that come with that or anything about the recent chapters would be also really interesting. There are some possible prompts on my journal if you'd like a jumping off point, but please don't feel you can't ignore them altogether! | letter |
| augusta_brie | 微炭酸恋愛 | Bitansan Renai | Michinaga (Bitansan Renai), Take (Bitansan Renai) | * This is pretty much identical to Hokago Guitar: anything that explores their developing relationship, the good and the bad. What makes life difficult for them as a couple? How do they deal when something goes wrong for one of them? * Maybe Ayukawa's ex decides to take revenge on him and goes after his favourite student Michi, and things get very complicated (and potentially dark) for them all. |
letter |
| augusta_brie | Dear Boys | Hoop Days | Hoshina Yuito | Anything Yuito related! Some possible ideas: * The team comes from a poorer background than some of the others. Anything exploring this and the difficulties Yuito faces as a result. * Anything that explores Yuito's relationship with his coach. I am an absolute sucker for father-son relationships, and something that explored how influential this relationship has been — maybe times when his coach has been there for him when his own family hasn't — would be interesting. Coach Iijima Yuusaku picking Yuito up when something goes horribly wrong, being supportive, etc. |
letter |
| augusta_brie | 放課後ギター | Houkago Guitar | Ogasawara Eiji, Kagurazaka Takeru | Anything that explores their developing relationship. First date, first argument, more sweet little moments before them, getting caught in the rain, shared detention, getting drunk together - and so on. * There are hints that Takeru's life pre-Eiji was pretty dark — maybe explore this? * Something that explores their musical talents and where this might take them. |
letter |
| aunt_zelda | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Havelock Vetinari, Moist von Lipwig, Adora Belle Dearheart, Samuel Vimes | You are NOT obligated to write ALL of the characters I've request, any combinations of those four are fine with me! I would love it if someone could write Vetinari/Vimes, though I know that's a difficult pairing to tackle. Moist/Adora are fantastic, especially if they were to get a little kinky. There's also some lovely powerplays going on between Vetinari/Moist, if you wanted to explore that ... Or whatever you're comfortable with, mysterious author. Those are just some of my tastes. |
letter |
| aunt_zelda | The Pirates! - Gideon Defoe | I am very comfortable with slash. Very, very comfortable. What I'm saying is that Pirate Captain/Pirate With A Scarf would make me very happy indeed. If you are not comfortable writing that, fear not, the gen adventures of the crew are fine by me. |
letter | |
| aunt_zelda | Now You See Me (2013) | J. Daniel Atlas, Henley Reeves, Jack Wilder, Merritt McKinney | I would really prefer an exploration of the Four Horsemen all ending up in bed together. I came out of the movie shipping this OT4 hard. If you're not comfortable with that, really anything with these characters would be fine by me, this movie needs more fic and these characters are fun. P.S. Henley taking Atlas to task and making him beg a bit would be delightful if you go the smuttier route. |
letter |
| aunt_zelda | Killers Kill; Dead Men Die - Annie Leibovitz | Absolutely anything. Look at these pictures, they are amazing. Don't limit yourself. I'd prefer a focus on some of the amazing female characters in the set, but really, the sky's the limit here. | letter | |
| aunt_zelda | Life (TV) | Charlie Crews, Ted Earley, Dani Reese, Roman Nevikov | You are NOT obligated to write ALL of the characters I've requested, any combinations of those four are fine with me! Personally I am saddened by the lack of Charlie/Ted fic out there. You don't have to write that if you don't want to, but I would REALLY love it if you could. I love Dani Reese, please do not demonize her or kill her off if you write her. Roman terrifies me. I would not object to him getting his hands on Charlie if that's how your story ends up going. Non-con between those two in this fic is fine with me so long as it's handled seriously. |
letter |
| aurilly | Lymond Chronicles - Dorothy Dunnett | Christian Stewart, Francis Crawford | Fix-it AU about Francis and Christian being happy and whole together after the first book. What if they'd gotten the formal introduction they wished for? I think Sybilla shipped it; how would she have matchmade them? Or would they have matchmade themselves, and how? If they'd stayed just BFFs, what kinds of hijinks would they have gotten up to? No Francis/Philippa or slash please. | letter |
| aurilly | Dawson's Creek | Jen Lindley, Pacey Witter | I'd like something that focuses on Jen and Pacey together. This could mean vacationing, reconnecting after years apart, coworkers, roommates in a big city, unlikely adventures, crossovers (options in my letter), romcom tropes, etc. I'd prefer something set post-penultimate episode—meaning, any time in their 20s; it doesn't have to be during the college years. Please pretend the finale never happened (i.e. no 'dying single mom' and no Joey/Pacey). I ship them, but friendship would make me happy, too. Minimal Dawson, Joey, and Audrey, please. Grams is always welcome. | letter |
| aurilly | Scandal (TV) | Jake Ballard, Olivia Pope | I love how Jake and Olivia both are so smart and hardcore, yet vulnerable and broken in their own ways—I'm hoping to see them in a situation that shows off how those ways are complementary, healing, and (hopefully) romance-inducing. This situation could be travel, romcom tropes, downtime, crossovers, action-adventure, etc. (not AUs, please). Perhaps exploring the difference between knowing someone because you've been watching them and getting to know them in a regular way? A taste of elusive 'normalcy'? Olivia on an adventure in Jake's crazy spy world? Bonus points if Stephen shows up; I loved his friendship with Olivia. | letter |
| aurilly | Alice (2009) | Jack Heart, Alice Hamilton | I love Jack and found his relationship with Alice angstily compelling—I'm a sucker for 'agent falls for mark' scenarios. I would like a story that explores their relationship post-movie. I want them to work through their issues and get to know/like/(hopefully?)love one another in a way that's better than before. I love political rebuilding stories, so something where Alice helps Jack with the aftermath of the revolution would be awesome. Future adventures force them to work together? Maybe a 'marriage of convenience' where she agrees to marry Jack because it will help the national morale, and they end up falling in love again? Or even something where he comes to visit our world again would be great. Can we pretend Hatter never came after Alice or that it non-dramatically fell apart? No Jack/Duchess, please, and no slash or Alice/Hatter unless it's part of an evenly balanced Alice/Jack/Hatter OT3 that focuses on the Jack angles. | letter |
| Autoeuphoric (FreezingRayne) | The Coldest Girl in Coldtown - Holly Black | Tana (The Coldest Girl in Coldtown), Gavriel (The Coldest Girl in Coldtown) | I'd like to see Tana as a vampire--maybe she doesn't make it all the way to the end of her detox, or maybe she gets bitten again, I don't know. If not that, then maybe Gavriel casually breaking out of Coldtown to go so her on the outside. |
letter |
| Autoeuphoric (FreezingRayne) | No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | Nezumi (No. 6), Shion (No. 6) | omething post-story--Nezumi returning to No.6 and meeting Shion's mom, the two of them working in her bakery, something like that. | letter |
| Autoeuphoric (FreezingRayne) | Tales of Xillia | Jude Mathis, Milla Maxwell, Alvin (Tales of Xillia) | Really anything with the three of them, shippy or not. Threesome, or just them all hanging out and being awesome. Alvin giving Jude sex advice? Or Alivin giving Milla sex advice? They'd probably both need it. | letter |
| Autoeuphoric (FreezingRayne) | Free! | Nanase Haruka, Matsuoka Rin, Ryuugazaki Rei, Hazuki Nagisa | Anything Rin/Haru or Rei/Nagisa. I'm not picky! | letter |
| automaticdoor | House of Cards (US TV) | Christina Gallagher, Peter Russo | I would love a story about the relationship between Christina and Peter, either in the office, in their personal lives, or a reflection after Peter's death. If post-death, some Janine would be great too! | letter |
| automaticdoor | Veep | Amy Brookheimer | AMY. Amy is my favorite character. I love Amy's relationships with Selina and with Dan, so those are two ways to go. Gen, femslash or het welcome. | letter |

| autumndynasty | Grim Fandango | Manny Calavera | I'd love to see extra scenes around what we see in the game itself, during Manny's journeys or when he was waiting. I'd love interaction with Lola or... anyone else in fact! I'd enjoy seeing Meche! <3 Another alternative I love the idea of is something when Manny was alive? Maybe some reflection on what his life may have been like? All only suggestions, of course! | letter |
| autumndynasty | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Locke Lamora, Jean Tannen | I've put Jean and Locke as my requested characters as their relationship is my absolute favourite. However, I love all of the Bastards so much and anything with them in (as the focus or the background) is something I'd eagerly consume. Or just Locke and Jean alone. That's fine too! Have you read the new book (that grail we've waited so long for <3)? I quite liked Sabetha, I have to admit. I would love to see her fleshed out a bit more (but since I didn't request her specifically don't feel any pressure whatsoever in following this up!). Past, speculative future, unseen scenes? | letter |
| autumndynasty | Broken Empire Trilogy - Mark Lawrence | Jorg Ancrath | This is the most unlikely to be matched so if this is why you're here... <3! Ugh this series! I love it so much. Jorg is a magnificent bastard, I love the almost fatherly aspect that Makin has while still being a really horrible (and likely amoral) person generally. This one's a spoiler (so don't read ahead if you haven't finished the third book) but I love that William refused to stay quiet in death and got to reconcile with Jorg. I loved everything about Miana. Not such a fan of Katherine but I do still like her! So what I'm trying to say is...please just anything. Anything at all. Character development. Interaction. Everyday stuff. Scenes from the book from a different perspective! <3 Go wild! | letter |
| autumndynasty | Iskryne Series - Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette | Isolfr, Skjaldwulf, Vethulf | I really like this series. It caters to so many wants: interesting characters, cool world-building and that all important guilty-pleasure factor! ;p I really loved Isolfr and his wolf-sister and I especially enjoyed the opportunity to get out of his head and see how he is from an outside perspective. That said, I also love Skaldwulf and (especially) Vethulf. All three of them <3 So um. I'd love some more world-building (maybe more on the establishment of their fledgeling Wolfhaell?) or from the wolves' perspectives? I'd also love it if you just wanted to do some character development/relationship development! S'all good <3 I'd just like to read a bit more in the world while we wait for the third book....! | letter |

| AwkwardAnnie | Raffles - E. W. Hornung | Bunny Manders, A. J. Raffles | o there's that bit in Gentlemen and Players where: "There was another idea which Raffles kept to himself until he had got me down there. Then one day he produced a cricket-ball in a meadow we were crossing, and threw me catches for an hour together. More hours he spent in bowling to me on the nearest green; and, if I was never a cricketer, at least I came nearer to being one, by the end of that week, than ever before or since." I would LOVE to see this adorable bonding thing explored a bit more. Your choice if you make their relationship platonic or romantic, although given the source material it's never going to be completely above suspicion. |
|
| AwkwardAnnie | Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K Jerome | Jerome ( Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K Jerome), Harris ( Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K Jerome), George ( Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K Jerome) | I can't believe there is no fic for this story. I mean, it's literally three young bachelors on a river trip. Anyway, I would love some threesome fic if you can, porny* or fluffy, or if not just any silly shenanigans on a boat. *Bonus point: Montmorency does something Montmorency-ish at the crucial moment and everyone and his dog ends up in the Thames. |
|
| AwkwardAnnie | Robot Series - Isaac Asimov | Greg Powell, Mike Donovan (Robots - Isaac Asimov) | Anything with Those Two Guys dealing with whatever new weird robotic madness is the latest trend. I'd particularly like to see a robot geared more towards domestic things than exploration or industry - Greg and Mike take on a wayward vacuum cleaner, maybe? Slash welcomed with open arms (please, I need more than 5 fics to sustain me!). | |
| AwkwardAnnie | Sherlock Holmes (US TV 1954) | Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes (US TV 1954)), John Watson (Sherlock Holmes (US TV 1954)) | o I adore this series in all its ridiculous glory and would love to see just about anything in the same silly vein. A longer-lasting repeat of The Baker Street Nursemaids would be particularly adored (I'm just a sucker for men with babies, especially if one of them is trying to feed it tea). I've requested just Holmes and Watson (and am always open to slash of same) but would love to see Lestrade put in a suitably exasperated appearance. Bonus round: Everyone is stumped by the Terrible Crime (whatever it may be) until Sgt Wilkins says something unexpectedly intelligent. (For those of you who prefer your 50s Holmes/Watson more serious and/or angsty, the post linked on the DYA is an idea I had a while ago.) |
letter |
| aworldinside | The Good Wife (TV) | Will Gardner, Diane Lockhart | Backstory! I really want to know more about Will and Diane's history and how their strong working relationship and friendship started and developed. A fic set in the present day focusing on their friendship would also be great. |
|
| aworldinside | Hockey Twitter Accounts | @LAKings, @BlueJacketsNHL | I just love their interaction. Maybe a look into when they play against each other this year? Or how the Blue Jackets really feel about #lumbus - love or hate? Or if CBJ make the playoffs this season? Feel free to add another team like Edmonton if you want. |
|
| aworldinside | Lizzie Bennet Diaries | Fitz Williams, William Darcy (LBD) | I loved the series take on Fitz and would love to know more about his relationship with Darcy. Maybe something from before the series, how they met, or how they first became close friends, or even set after the series finishes, with him hanging out with Lizzie and Darcy. Can be romantic or gen. |
|
| aworldinside | Elenium/Tamuli Series - David & Leigh Eddings | Tynian (Elenium/Tamuli), Ulath (Elenium/Tamuli) | I just love their relationship and their banter. Anything a little slice-of-life would be great. A hunting trip? Getting together for a celebration? Snippets from their time in the Tamuli when they were travelling together? Exploration of their backstories or futurefic (maybe they end up together once they retire?) heartily encouraged. |
|
| Azar | Enchantment Emporium - Tanya Huff | If you're up for it, I would love to see a crossover/fusion with the Oz books (not the movies for obvious "it was a dream"/"Dorothy's crazy!" "Just kidding!" reasons *g*) wherein Dorothy, Aunt(ie) Em, and--if you're familiar with him--Zeke are members of THIS Gale family. Make it a pre-series glimpse of the Gale family's past or a modern AU where Dorothy is one of Allie's cousins, either is fine. If that doesn't strike you, I'd also love some exploration/worldbuilding with or without canon Gales and their cohorts (I love them, but I love the concept too!). |

| Azar | Flight of the Navigator (1986) | David Freeman, Carolyn McAdams | I would love to see David and Carolyn meet again in the new timeline, either as kids in 1978 or as adults in 1986. It can be gen or David/Carolyn, so long as it's age-appropriate if you go the 1978 route, and I'd prefer David tells Carolyn the truth about how he "knows" her instead of keeping it a secret. How she reacts initially doesn't matter to me, but I'd like her to believe him eventually. If that doesn't strike your fancy, I'd love Carolyn backstory too. What was she doing in 1978? How did she get a job at NASA that gave her enough clearance to have access to David when she was still so young? |

| Azar | Haven | Jordan McKee, Dwight Hendrickson, Audrey Parker | For Jordan, I'd love something touching on the fact that Nathan *isn't* the only one who can touch her--Audrey is immune to Troubles! A S3 AU with Jordan/Nathan/Audrey would be great, or S4 Jordan falling for Lexie in spite of herself, and how would either scenario change Jordan's drive to see the Troubles ended at all costs? For a gen option, I'd also love a character study about how incredibly unfair it is how Jordan's Trouble was triggered--talk about punishing the victim! How does that contribute to the bitterness and anger we see in her? Dwight I mostly just want gen of him being adorable, because he is ridiculously adorable. Maybe backstory with his daughter, or gen friendship with either or both of my requested ladies? Audrey I have this wacky theory (which will probably be Jossed before you get this but oh well) that she's Pandora and her penance for releasing the Troubles onto the world in the first place was to become the embodiment of Hope for the Troubled. If that doesn't grab you, I'd be more than happy with any of the above suggestions involving her, or with any of the following pairings/groupings: Audrey/Nathan/Duke, Audrey/Nathan/Duke/Jennifer, Lexie/William, Audrey/real!Audrey. |

| Azar | Being of Two Minds - Pamela F. Service | Connie Hendricks, Rudolf of Thulgaria | As crown prince, Rudy doesn't have the option to stay single, but how does his connection with Connie complicate dating? Play it for laughs or for angst, I don't care, I just think it's an interesting potential problem. I'd love for it to end with Connie/Rudy but if that's not your preference, finding another solution works for me too! Other possibilities include anything about what happens after the end of the book. Does Connie go home and go on with her life, or does she (with or without her family) move to Thulgaria at the request of the royal family? Or does Rudy maybe choose to attend the same college in the US as Connie? Do the King and Queen choose to go public with the nature of Rudy's "condition" now that they know what it is, and if so, how do they handle convincing their people of something pretty unbelievable? What kind of a king does Rudy make when his time comes? How--if at all--does the connection between Connie and Rudy change as they move from puberty into adulthood? Anything like that or even just a slice of life from after the events of the novel. |

| Azpidistra | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz, Grant Ward, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | I want more "we're totally married" banter between FitzSimmons. I want weird UST between Ward and Skye, with Skye trying to figure out if Ward is even actually interested, not to mention if he's straight. (Bonus points if he's not straight!) I want appearances by Coulson and possibly the team stumbling on more evidence of what's really going on with him. | letter |

(Want to really make my day? I had this headcannon, where David "Gordo" Gordon of Lizzy McGuire-fandom came out his senior year of high school, one day wandered into the bookstore that Ducky worked in, both being in college by that time, and the rest, they say is history. MASSIVE GLEE BONUS POINTS, if you could somehow fit this into the behind-the-scenes story. http://thesilentpoet.livejournal.com/tag/ducky%2Fdave) |
letter |
| a_hunter | Gravity (2013) | Ryan Stone, Matt Kowalsky | Ryan is back on earth, but she's more alone than ever. The only thing that's keeping her sane is Matt's voice in her ear, joking and laughing and helping her forget that he's nothing but a corpse floating further and further away from earth, while she has to be down here, going through the motions and pretending that she isn't as dead as he is. | |
| a_hunter | Ready Player One - Ernest Cline | Aech | Helen Harris | he's lost all sense of what is the real world and what isn't. | |
| a_hunter | Gravity Falls | Mabel Pines | A good old fashioned murder mystery. | |

| a_la_grecque | Elephantasm - Tanith Lee | I've always had this weird thing about Rupert, but I would be really happy to see any characters though, or even just something set in bookverse, hence leaving the character spot blank! I nominated Rupert, Darius, Elizabeth and Annie, but honestly, feel free to write about any other characters, or make up your own. This was the book that made me fall in love with Tanith Lee, so basically I just have a soft spot for it. | letter | |
| a_la_grecque | Dark Matter - Michelle Paver | Jack Miller, Gus Balfour | I read this in a night and a morning and found myself totally absorbed by the book and fascinated by Gus and Jack's relationship, so anything exploring that would be good. Shippiness would be fine (up to and including hardcore smut), as would gen. AU/alternative endings also fine. Creepy ghosty happenings not necessary but welcome! I'm also very open to anything that captures the inherent desolation of the Arctic setting and all that it entails. | letter |
| a_la_grecque | Owl Service - Alan Garner | I nominated the trio by their legend names but it was meant to be a sort of factotum — while I'd be happy to see fic about the original players in the story, I would like to see any kind of characters taking on those roles — whether it be Gwyn, Alison, and Roger, the previous generation of actors or a set of OCs sometime in the past (or in the future, who knows?) | letter | |
| a_la_grecque | Exiles Saga and Galactic Milieu - Julian May | Marc Remillard | Atoning Unifex Elizabeth Orme | I nominated Marc and Elizabeth because I am interested in their journeys and their interactions with each other. Feel free to focus on either one of them rather than both if that's easiest for you. I'd love to see more about how they got to be who they are before we met them... or how they get to be who they are after the Exiles Saga ends. | letter |
| a_q | Foyle's War | Christopher Foyle, Samantha Stewart, Paul Milner | I like their work dynamic, and friendship. It would be interesting to see them in more relaxed situation together, during a case or after a case. Also something where either Sam or Milner take charge of the situation could be interesting, or something where Foyle is shaken up or emotional somehow and needs his teams support. | letter |
| a_q | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Phryne Fisher Jane (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries), Dorothy "Dot" Williams | Phryne is an independent and strong character, and I think it would be interesting to see her relying on those she usually protects and cares for. I think she had been more of a big sister to Jane during the series, it would be interesting to see if she had to take the role of a parent. With Dot, Phryne is the employee and a friend, but how does she need Dot, her sensibility and kindness? Or it could be a story about a case, or character study, or them three just having silly fun and talking. |
letter |
| a_q | The Expendables (Movies) | Barney Ross, Lee Christmas | In the movie I liked their friendship and trust to each other, combined with the constant bickering. Character study could be great, how they met, became friends, if their bromance (or actual romance if you like) had some rough patches. Or it could be interesting setting those two in a situation where they can't use violence/weaponry but have to talk their way out of it. | letter |
| a_q | The Following | I left the character slot open, because I liked both the Cult characters and the law enforcement characters, plus there's the flashbacks to past — there could be an interesting story hidden there. I also liked all the scheming, backstabbing and plot twists in the show, those could be interesting to explore, or the normalcy that hides the madness. | letter | |
| abel | Marble Hornets | Alex Kralie, Timothy "Tim" W. | Masky, Jay (Marble Hornets) | Alex shows up without any memories, acting just like he did before things started going wrong. (A background of Alex/Tim or Tim/Brian preferred; I prefer Jay and Tim as friends.) | letter |
| abel | Final Fantasy IV | Dark Kain, Highwind (Final Fantasy IV), Golbez (Final Fantasy IV) | Golbez reminds Kain of Cecil, and revives the feelings he's suppressed about his best friend. | letter |
| abel | Alan Wake (Video Game) | Alan Wake | Character study. | letter |
| abel | Saints Row | Johnny Gat, The Boss (Saints Row) | Male boss, preferably based on Voice 2. The Boss and Johnny and the sex they never talk about. | |
| abykid528 | Practical Magic (1998) | Bridget "Jet" Owens, Frances Owens Sally, Owens Gillian Owens | Anything pre-movie would be ADORED FOREVER. Especially if it focuses on the aunts (though I love Sally and Gilly too). I really want to see character growth here: how did they become the people we see in the movie? | letter |
| abykid528 | Marvel Avengers Movies RPF | Tom hiddleston (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF), Mark Ruffalo (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF), Chris Evans (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF), Robert Downey Jr. (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF) | Basically any combination of these four (or any three or two of these four together) would be greatly appreciated. Slash preferred, but not necessary. AU's always welcome. | letter |
| abykid528 | Star Wars: X-wing Series - Aaron Allston & Michael Stackpole | Wedge Antilles (X-wing series), Tycho Celchu (X-wing series) | I ship these two pretty damn hard. First-time slash would be preferred here, though a look at their incredibly deep friendship would be awesome too. (If you could set it pre-Iella or just get rid of her somehow, that would be awesome. I'm not a fan of hers.) I'm cool with some angst if you'd like to include it, though a happy ending is preferred. | letter |
| abykid528 | West Wing RPF | Rob Lowe (West Wing RPF), Bradley Whitford (West Wing RPF) | /Josh are my TWW OTP. I have some seriously sad headcanons for them though. Maybe Brad or Rob or both have some sad headcanons for their characters too. Either they've blend over into their real feelings for one another or their real feelings are getting harder to hide on screen. Or maybe something entirely different is happening between these guys. I'll leave it up to you. I'd prefer mild angst here though. | letter |
| Bakcheia | Alexander (2004) | Cassander, Cleitus (Alexander (2004)) | I sort of want to apologise in advance for requesting these characters because I'm pretty sure nobody likes them but me and I keep envisioning this parade of disappointed Alexander fans drooping past my nom but I love these guys and I want fic so BAD and this is what Yuletide is for right? They've kind of ended up being the villains of the piece because they're both on team 'I'm not sure about this actually, Alexander' but I've always felt that while Alexander was in many ways an impressive guy, there are some fairly legitimate complaints about stuff he did and I'd love to see something about that side of it. Something where they start off being loyal followers and gradually start bonding over their increasing uncertainty with the situation as they get further away from home and the death toll keeps rising. Extra bonus points for including the Gedrosian desert fiasco because I love characters supporting each other in hostile situations and the Gedrosian desert is pretty goddamn hostile. Also, I'm not being full of lies when I ask for gen bonding fic, I would give a finger for gen bonding fic - but I do ship them, even though it is the Un-canon and if you pair them up for me I will be so full of squee because they are both, so, so hot and I refuse to believe I'm the only one who sees it. |
letter |
| Bakcheia | The Prisoner (2009) | 11-12 (The Prisoner 2009), 909 (The Prisoner 2009) | I think this show had the most fantastic premise with some elements that weren't explored nearly as much as I would have liked. Firstly, that 11-12 is effectively imaginary. I would love to see a fic about how that affects things for him. Does he have an awareness of things outside the Village? Does he know what rain is, or aeroplanes? What impact does it have on his relationship with 909 and do either of them suspect why he's different from the other members of the Village? Also, the world they live in is so amazingly broken and threatening under its thin veneer of idealism and anything where they try (and possibly fail) to cope with this would be awesome. Or an AU where they try to escape. Actually, I just love them as a couple and weird as they are, they have the least ballsed up relationship in the entire show and it lasted all of half a sodding hour so just anything with them interacting or being a positive thing in each others lives in any way would be absolutely wonderful for me. On that note, I'd really appreciate it if the story could be set either before either of them dies, or ignores the fact that they do. I'm all over the creepy in this thing so don't be afraid to deal with dark stuff but I'd be grateful if their relationship in the story could be an overall good thing, that isn't certain to end. |
letter |
| Bakcheia | Titus (1999) | Chiron (Titus Andronicus), Demetrius (Titus Andronicus) | Oh my, how I loved this film. How I loved the Goth family. Especially the princes and God knows why because they are horrible, horrible people in many ways. I love the contrast between their excessive closeness (fair warning, I consider at least some level of incest to be pretty much canon, though you don't have to focus on this) and their continual combativeness. I also find their lack of almost any moral comapass really interesting because unlike Tamora (who I see as mainly out for justified revenge) or Aaron (moral compass points the wrong way) they seem to have almost no notion of right or wrong as concepts and how the heck did that happen? Any fic that takes this stuff into account would be great but I do have an extra special love of people being dumped in difficult situations that are outside of their normal experience, so I'd love to see something dealing with the whole capture/death of a primary family member/sudden integration into Roman society sequence which I felt the film kind of glossed over. Oooh! Ooooh! Or the AU of my heart where Lavinia remains married to the Emperor and they stay as Titus's slaves and have to try to revenge their way up from there because boy, wouldn't that change everything. |
letter |
| Bakcheia | 1492: Conquest Of Paradise (1992) | Christopher Columbus (Conquest of Paradise), Adrian de Moxica (Conquest of Paradise) | This film definitely had its ups and downs when it comes to quality but my God it has one of the most fascinating relationships between two men I've ever seen on a screen. Moxica is convinved that he is inherently better than Columbus by right of birth and breeding , he lacks faith in both Columbus's decisions and his right to be making them - yet he has to do everything he says or face a death penalty. Columbus tries not to fall for any of that poisonous bollocks and maintain authority but things are all going so wrong and Moxica is such a splendid example of his own ideals that it's clear that at least a part of Columbus suspects that Moxica might be right. So underneath all his moral highground there's a part of him that desperately wants Moxica to submit to him, to be proven wrong, to admit that Columbus is better than he is and HAHAHA! - it never happens! So *ahem* back to my request, anything dealing with this weird power dynamic will be absolutely gold to me. Special bonus points for adding a sexual element to Columbus's feels about Moxica because I didn't realise I had a kink for that sort of stuff but oh, here it is, apparently. Also, Columbus aside, I have such a fancy on Moxica, despite him being a raging asshat, I think he's the prettiest ever and if you pander to that for me, even just a little bit, I will be so goddamn grateful that you'll probably find it a little bit awkward. |

| aniszew | The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon | I'd love something about what happens to Sammy, Joe, Rosa, and Tommy after the end of the novel. Does Sammy find happiness in California, or only more heartbreak? Do Joe and Rosa launch great comics of the silver age? How does Tommy cope with with all the upheaval in his family with Sammy leaving and Joe moving in? I'd also love an Escapist story or a Luna Moth story. |

| aniszew | My Little Pony (Cartoon 1984) | I'd like something that walks the line between serious and silly. And ideally something featuring WindWhistler. I got this for yuletide last year, and it was my favorite yuletide gift so far. http://archiveofourown.org/works/583952 I also read this a couple years ago, and I love it: http://archiveofourown.org/works/30189 |

| aniszew | Planet Ladder | I'd like something with Bambi, Kaguya, and/or Seeu. It would be interesting to see something that takes place after the end of the series, with Bambi and Seeu learning to let people be close to them. | ||
| aniszew | She-Ra: Princess Of Power | omething from Shadow Weaver's perspective that gets into her feelings about Adora/She-Ra, as a surrogate-daughter and as an enemy, would be interesting. | ||
| aniszew | Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena | My favorite characters are Juri, Ruka, Utena, and Anthy, but all the characters have interesting things about them. Something post-series or pre-series that explores Juri's thoughts on her dynamic with Ruka would be cool. Here's an example of amazing utena-fic that I like. And not just because Utena and Anthy moved to my real-life neighborhood. :) http://archiveofourown.org/works/107797/chapters/149103 |

| arometry | Alice (2009) | Hatter (Alice) | I love the slightly-rakish eyeliner-wearing Hatter of Neverland, and was slightly disappointed by his transformation into David at the end of the series. I would love to see more about his perhaps-slightly-criminal tenure at the tea shop, or his earlier existence as someone who knew Mad March, or some kind of explanation of his super-strong arm, or some future return to Neverland (ideally with Alice in tow). I'm a big fan of his and Alice's relationship, so through it doesn't need to be centre-stage, I would be happiest if their relationship doesn't end in or before the story. | letter |
| arometry | Mansfield Park - Jane Austen | Henry Crawford | Dear author, I am one of the people who finds the ending of Mansfield Park disappointing. I would love to see the alternate ending (described in passing in the book) where Henry Crawford *doesn't* run off with Julia, and eventually he and Fanny end up together. It's been written many times before, but I would love to see even a slice of life from that alternate future. If that's not your cup of tea, I would love to see almost any character study of Henry Crawford, or a story where Fanny actually stands up for herself about something, or even a story focusing on Fanny's brother William, away at sea or back in England. | letter |
| arometry | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | Quentin (Toby Daye), Raj (Toby Daye), Jazz (Toby Daye), May Daye | I have listed four characters, but really I'd be happy with a story focusing on any of them. What I find so interesting is that these are people whose lives are tangled up with Toby's, but the stories aren't directly *about* them. In the most recent book we learned some more about Quentin (I don't want to spoil you, dear Author!), let's hear more about that! Or maybe what a typical day of him and Raj hanging out between crises looks like? Or maybe the development of May and Jazz's relationship -- behind the scenes on their first date? Or maybe what it's like to be May, and to be the person left behind in the last couple of crises? I would be so happy with any of these options, and I'm sure with many others! | letter |
| arometry | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Richard Mayhew, Marquis de Carabas (Neverwhere) | I am endlessly fond of stories that show Richard Mayhew figuring out the details of London Below, and his new identity as the Warrior. I would love to see him poking around and discovering some lost treasure, and being accidentally heroic. I also love the Marquis de Carabas, who knows so much more than he is willing to let on. I imagine the Marquis asking Richard for some kind of favour -- but avoiding actually *calling* it a favour. Or maybe some background on who the Marquis is -- how he got to be the person he is today? Or maybe Richard trying to solve some kind of problem for Door, and as he troops around London Below he keeps almost or actually running into the Marquis, who is working on some unrelated matter of his own? My one caveat is that I have a huge embarrassment squick: I find it painful when someone is *too* out of place and doesn't know the unwritten rules of what's going on (it's a miracle I've ever made it through the early parts of Neverwhere itself). So if you could try to avoid such scenarios in the story, that would be great! | letter |
| arometry | Arkham Horror (Board Game) | What is it like to find yourself in a sleepy New England town shooting a Great Old One with a tommy gun? Casting spells that slowly drive you insane? Why is a character -- any character -- sticking around to deal with this rather than running for the hills? It's not that I want to see an actual session of the game fictionalized, but I'd love to see some of the aspects of the game world deepened in a story -- the tone of something like Arkham Horror is more Night Vale than HP Lovecraft, in my mind, or maybe just somewhere in the middle. You could probably pick up any character card and use the back as the starting point of a story, and I would be deeply interested in the result. | letter | |
| aroqueriot | Newsflesh Trilogy - Mira Grant | Georgia Mason, Shaun Mason, Buffy Meissonier | Check out my letter for more details, but I would love to see some pre-series investigative journalism from my favorite reporting team, with adventure, blog posts, and all. I especially love Shaun and George's codependent wonderful relationship, so if they happened to sneak a few kisses (...or more...) while on the job, I would love to see it! | letter |
| aroqueriot | Avengers Assemble (Comics) | Jessica Drew (Avengers Assemble), Carol Danvers (Avengers Assemble) | I LOVE LADIES. I love these two in particular. I'd love to see them at any time point in the Avengers Assemble series (though I must say Kelly Sue's run has been my favorite) and especially if it's just bantery, everyday best friends stuff. Bonus points if other Marvel ladies like Jessica Jones, Natasha Romanoff, Jessica Walters, Kate Bishop, etc make an appearance. I don't really ship Carol and Jess and I'd prefer BFF-ness from them over anything sexual (but I totally do see them as heterosexual life partners, since Carol already has a cat and I can imagine them becoming old cat ladies together and totally judging every dude they go out with.) | letter |
| aroqueriot | Wizards of Waverly Place | Alex Russo, Justin Russo | Give me all the bickery codependence of Alex and Justin always having each other's back that you have. More specifically, I would love to see something post-finale, since the movie reeeeeeally didn't address what they're up to at all and I'd like to see some of what that life is like. I will take anything rated G to NC-17. | letter |
| aroqueriot | Justified | Boyd Crowder, Raylan Givens, Ava Crowder, Rachel Brooks | What I would primarily like, if possible, is rule 63!Boyd/Raylan, with both of them being ladies and femslash galore, and focusing on how they're two sides of the same coin. They've taken different paths but they're so alike it hurts, and the frustration of being a woman in a man's world (whether that's the world of the US Marshals or the world of running crime in Harlan) shapes them and brings them closer together as it also pushes them apart. If that's a bit too much of a challenge (and I get it, it's a big order!) I'd like to see something dealing with Rachel Brooks' past and times she learned how to get some respect as a black woman in a lot of very white, very male-dominated areas and move up into the position she's in now (which is a position where she gets to reflect a lot on the fuckups of the white men around her, I'm sure!) These are just some ideas; I love Justified and I love how it shows a really complex world in an area that has been generally very simplified, when really it has a lot of complicated dynamics related to race, gender, socioeconomic status, family roots, and a host of other issues. Anything that shows that world of constant intersectional negotiations would be a fascinating read. |
letter |
| asaltgrrl | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | Stephen Maturin, Jack Aubrey | Anything in which Jack is oblivious and Stephen is secretly looking out for him would be great. These guys are made for hurt/comfort! Perhaps something in which Stephen is hurt and Jack is oblivious, but then realizes and has to go to great lengths to take care of Stephen? I just love them together. Oooh, how about a future AU? I dunno, I'm really open to all sorts of things with these guys, as long as they're taking care of each other. |
|
| asaltgrrl | Liaden Universe - Sharon Lee & Steve Miller | Daav yos'Phelium | I feel like the books didn't do justice to Daav's reappearance. I'd love some sort of fic based on this; getting into the nitty-gritty of Val Con's feelings about his father and vice versa, and the complicated emotional aspects of their respective life choices. It all seemed to happen too easily in the books. | |
| asaltgrrl | The Deed of Paksenarrion - Elizabeth Moon | Paksenarrion | I felt like there was this point in the books at which Paks suddenly found it really easy to be a Paladin. I'd like some more struggle on her part; more internal questioning about what really matters in her life and how to be confident in the ways she needs to be. | |
| asaltgrrl | Brat Farrar - Josephine Tey | Brat Farrar, Bee Ashby, Eleanor Ashby | I'd love to read something in which these guys deal with the fallout post book-events more than they do at the end of the book. Some oblique conversations about the future, some angsting and reassurance. | |
| asilmemories | Free! | Ryuugazaki Rei, Matsuoka Rin | I'm just fond of their normal dynamic, or porn, porn is good too. | |
| asilmemories | Cesare (Manga) | Miguel de Corella (Cesare - Manga), Cesare Borgia (Cesare - Manga) | The boys at Ludi florales and dealing with cesare being... cesare. An angelo and a giovanni are fine too. | |
| asilmemories | The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011) | Juan Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011), Micheletto (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)), Lucrezia Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)), Cesare Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)) | They all had their connections, of a sort, and only Cesare wasn't surprised when Lucrezia was the one to lead them. | |

| Basingstoke | Hark! A Vagrant | Straw Feminists (Hark! A Vagrant) | I think Straw Feminists vs Strong Female Characters would be a good time. | |
| Basingstoke | Monkey Island | Elaine Marley, Guybrush Threepwood | What if Guybrush and Elaine have a daughter? One would hope she would be as cunning as Elaine and as lucky as Guybrush, but it might be the other way around. | |
| Basingstoke | Zombies Run! | Eugene Woods, Jack Holden | Eugene and Jack's reunion. | |
| ayloriffic | New Girl | Nick Miller, Jessica Day (New Girl), Winston Bishop, Schmidt (New Girl) | I love all of the New Girl characters, but the four main characters are my favorites. Anything that plays up their friendships and weirdo personalities would be completely awesome. | letter |
| ayloriffic | Revolution (TV) | Rachel Matheson | I'm incredibly fascinated by Rachel's character and her interactions with basically all the other characters on the show, but sometimes it seems as though the narrative isn't exactly sure what she knows or who she is. So anything that explored her character (especially before the Blackout or immediately after she left her family) would be great. | letter |
| ayloriffic | Out of Sight (1998) | Karen Sisco, Jack Foley | Obviously, the best scene in the movie is the one where Karen and Jack role play at the hotel bar, so anything in that vein would be amazing. Also, the end of the movie obviously suggests that Karen's set up Jack to be freed during his transport, so I'd love something that picks up after that and maybe features the two of them on the run (or maybe just Jack on the run and a kind of occasional meeting with Karen?). | letter |
| ayloriffic | Life (TV) | Charlie Crews, Dani Reese | Crews and Reese are one of my favorite examples of one of my favorite tropes -- cops in love -- but I also really like their friendship and the way they kind of play off each other and take care of each other (in a non-romantic way). Basically anything that explores their relationship (whether a romantic relationship or their friendship or their professional relationship) would be wonderful. | letter |
| ardsley | Heroes For Hire (comics) | Colleen Wing (Heroes for Hire), Misty Knight (Heroes for Hire), Luke Cage (Heroes for Hire), Danny Rand (Heroes for Hire) | I love this team and I love how they all relate to each other, the deep friendship that unites them all and the way these friendships are always at the forefront of their characters. It's one of those teams where romantic subplots never relegate friendships to a secondary status, and that is incredibly important to me. I go for Misty/Colleen and Luke/Danny if we're talking romance, but team gen is just as appealing to me. Likewise, I'm okay with either fic set in the 70s or today. | letter |
| ardsley | Young Allies (Marvel) | Rikki Barnes (Young Allies), Anya Sofia Corazon (Young Allies) | I would be okay with anything with these two; femslash is always welcome, but gen is appreciated as well. If you feel like writing something sadder or darker, dear author, I'd love to see a story focussing on Anya after Rikki's death - how she deals with it, or doesn't. If that doesn't appeal to you, I'm perfectly all right with anything about these girls and their relationship. | letter |
| ardsley | Bomb Girls | Betty McRae, Kate Andrews, Gladys Witham, Lorna Corbett | I would be happy to read anything about these four, in any setting and genre. My favourite part of the show and the relationships the women have with each other are the found family dynamics, and how all of them relate to one another in a setting both alien wrt to their social scripts but also immensely freeing, in that at VicMu they all find something their lives were missing. I'd love any story exploring that aspect of the show. | letter |
| ardsley | Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | Kaname Madoka, Akemi Homura, Sakura Kyouko, Tomoe Mami | I'd like to see something set post-show, in the new timeline: how do the girls relate to each other, how they work as a team, and especially how Homura navigates her relationship with Kyouko and Mami with her relationship with Madoka, who is but *isn't* there. | letter |
| ardsley | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary) | The relationship between Joan and Irene fascinates me, especially from Irene's point of view. She's a tremendously fucked up individual; how does she deal with being beaten by a stranger? How does she deal with Joan's importance to Sherlock? I'd like to see something about how they might relate to each other post-finale. Would Joan visit Irene in prison, if Irene asked? Etc etc. | letter |
| Bearthing | The Last of Us | Joel (The Last of Us), Ellie (The Last of Us), Sarah (The Last of Us) | Dear New Best Friend, I value creativity, so I'm not going to give too many details on any of my requests. I want to see what you can do. For The Last of Us, give me something overly sentimental that will make me b'aww. It can be sad. Or happy. Or just plain glurge. I really enjoyed the father-daughter dynamic going on in this game. Do what you please, as long as it fits canon. Much love, Bearthing |
|
| Bearthing | Parks and Recreation | Dear New Best Friend, I value creativity, so I'm not going to give too many details on any of my requests. I want to see what you can do. For Parks and Recreation, give me something funny in the spirit of the show. This can mean a (somewhat rational) crossover or general weirdness. Whatever. Up to you, dear. Just follow canon as closely as you can. Much love, Bearthing |
||
| Bearthing | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman | Dear New Best Friend, I value creativity, so I'm not going to give too many details on any of my requests. I want to see what you can do. For His Dark Materials, I'd really love some worldbuilding. Tell me why some people have same-gender daemons. Or what happens if your daemon is too big to efficiently go anywhere with you. Or of other worlds. Or about the panserbjorn. Or magic. Or why witches are only female. Or the differences between our world and Lyra's. You can use pre-existing characters or not. Have fun. Much love, Bearthing |
||
| Bearthing | Y: The Last Man | Hero Brown | Dear New Best Friend, I value creativity, so I'm not going to give too many details on any of my requests. I want to see what you can do. For Y: The Last Man, I'd like something about Hero. Anything, really. I was intrigued with her character and I don't feel like she got nearly enough screentime compared to her dumb brother. You can talk about her time with the Daughters, her relationship with Victoria, what happened with her grandfather, or protecting the Beths, or the girl with whom she finally settled down. Or all of it. Much love, Bearthing |
|
| Bearthing | Saturday Night Live | Stefon (Saturday Night Live), Seth Meyers (Saturday Night Live) | Dear New Best Friend, I value creativity, so I'm not going to give too many details on any of my requests. I want to see what you can do. For Saturday Night Live, I just want something funny. I mean really funny. I miss these skits like the dickens. Much love, Bearthing |
|
| Bearthing | Skins (UK) | Dear New Best Friend, I value creativity, so I'm not going to give too many details on any of my requests. I want to see what you can do. However. For Skins, I have a few rules that I don't have for other fandoms. No Naomi!deathfic, please, unless you can really wow me with its tastefulness. (I know she wasn't included, but Emily and Effy were, so I'm just coverin' the bases here.) And, due to triggers etcetera, please no Stonemcest. I'd really like something alternate universe in the form of a 'what if' -- if Effy was Emily's true love, if Tony never survived his accident, if Chris lived, if Anwar was totes gay for Maxxie...anything like that. Combine them all, even. Make it weird if you want. I love thought experiments. Much love, Bearthing |

| Beatrice_Otter | Donovan's Reef (1963) | Lelani Dedham, Amelia Dedham | Gen preferred. At the end of the movie, Amelia has accepted her siblings, but she's still a privileged Boston upper-class woman, with no real understanding of the gap between her experience and theirs. I'd love some exploration of the relationship between the two of them. And, you know, I love all of the other characters too, so any of them you want to include would be wonderful. | letter |
| Beatrice_Otter | Batman Beyond | Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond), Maxine Gibson (Batman Beyond) | I would enjoy just about anything set in this universe. Some ideas: casefic. Something about Bruce training Terry to be Batman and/or Max being trained by Commisioner Gordon to be Batgirl (although obviously focusing on Terry and Max, not their mentors). Something about how Terry and/or Max make the legacy of the Bat their own. An adventure with the Justice League (not focusing on Superman). Something dealing with Terry's mom learning about their nighttime activities. | letter |
| Beatrice_Otter | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | Iskierka (Temeraire), Anahuarque (Temeraire), John Granby | This was an interesting situation, and I want to know more about it. A missing scene with Granby and Anahuarque talking about it would work. We know basically what Anahuarque wants out of it, but knowing more about her and her interesting situation--how she got there, how she's maintaining her power, all of that--would be awesome. And what would thrill me the most is an AU where she did marry Granby, and what happens next. What would their relationship have been like? Would she not have cared what he did with Little as long as they didn't embarrass her in public? Would she have kept him on a short leash, or would she have let him go back to England as soon as Iskierka had given them eggs and Granby had given Anahuarque a child? Would they have become friends, or would they have been strangers who occasionally shared a bed, or would they have been unhappy? How would Granby and Iskierka's relationship have changed? Bonus points if Little is involved, extra bonus points for explorations of Incan culture. | letter |
| Beatrice_Otter | Star Trek: Rihannsu - Diane Duane | Ael i-Mhiessan t'Rllaillieu, Arrhae i-Khellian t'Llhweiir | I would absolutely love something focusing on culture and worldbuilding. You do not have to write both characters, if you want to focus on one or the other; I would be perfectly happy with, say, a day in the life of Arrhae as hru'hfe, or a day in the life of Ael on Bloodwing (before or after her exile, any time). | letter |
| Beatrice_Otter | Caprica (TV) | Tamara Adama | Things what I would love: something exploring Tauron culture, and culture clashes thereof. We know all about Joseph and Sam Adama's delicate relationship with their homeland, and a little bit about the first William Adama's relationship with all things Tauron, but not much about Tamara and Tauron. So, that would be great. Also! Cylons! I want to know what happens with the Cylons! We know (basically) what happened with Lacy and Zoe after the show ended, and their interaction with Cylons, but Tamara didn't get a new body and she didn't become the Reverend Mother, so what happened to her? Was she still around during the Cylon War, and if so what was her role? Was she still there, a ghost in the machine, when the Final Five showed up? What was her role in the Cylon culture? Not to mention, what does she think of her Dad and his new family? | letter |
| Beatrice_Otter | Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn | Mara Jade (Thrawn) | Anything at all! Missions for the Emperor, missions for Karrde, what she did in between, stuff dealing with the ways the Emperor programmed her, did she ever get sent on Jedi extermination missions and what she thought about it. I would especially love stories that deal with her being an unreliable narrator--the Emperor messed with her head; her perceptions of and/or understanding of things, particularly things closely related to the Emperor and his pet causes, would probably not jive with reality, at least not while the Emperor was alive. | letter |
| atzz | Coupling (UK) | Sally Harper | Hello assigned writer! I hope I'm not much of a headache for you this holiday season. I promise I'm not a hard-to-please person when it comes to fic at all. And since we're matched up, I'm already pleased as punch because my fandom is your fandom! (That is one of the best feelings, always.) In fact, you pretty much have carte blanche to play with mood and rating even if it contrasts with the source/canon. Fluffy, dark, fully clothed, or otherwise—I devour all that fic daily. (When real life allows me to, at least.) AUs and crossovers are on the table as well, with some reservations on my part. Which is fair, I hope. I mean, I love AUs a lot but the slice-of-life type with baristas, bakeries, high school etc. would work best for me if they're just backdrops to a bigger plot, when used at all. Crossovers are cool, but I can give no assurances of knowledge of other canons so perhaps when crossing over into other worlds keep a careful balance that tips towards the Yuletide fandom and characters. I'm not blacklisting much and if it appears in the canon/source it is fair game. It'd be your best bet to exclude depictions of rape and sex scenes that include blood, urine, and excrement—to keep the terms purely medical. If you find yourself already drawn to a certain direction with your writing, do carry on! Otherwise have a list of themes, tropes, as well as narrative kinks I fancy seeing pretty much always: -Family— those found, made or born into (in harmony or in conflict); -Growing pains—including but not limited to people and relationships changing, difficulty or inability achieving potential, identity issues, and isolation; -Relationships of intense connection, including co-dependencies (especially with an awareness that such things aren't normal); -Relationships with intense competition; -Journeying (roadtrips! and my very favorite 'running away to find yourself' thing); -Magical realism (the world works in mysterious ways); -Explorations of the afterlife and reincarnation; -Repeating dialogue/dialogue motifs; -Significant dreams/dream imagery. Oh hey, I have naked kinks too, which you are free to ignore if porn is not your thing. Listed alphabetically: Begging, biting, breathplay, bruising, body worship (especially of features or body parts that generally prompt insecurity), comeplay of all kinds (hello come-marking, facials, and snowballing), dirty talk (though light on the humiliation with this one), double penetration, face-fucking and face-sitting, hatesex, inexperience (this is a kink, right?), oral sex, orgasm delay/denial, overstimulation, semi-public sex, sensory deprivation, sex while clothed (so I lied about the naked part, sorry), aaand size kink. (That got long... Pun unintended, mostly.) Some specific prompts straight from my brain too, in case that interests you: -Sally as she ages! Does she maintain her insecurities? With Patrick tied down to her how does her self-image change or not? Is there sexy affirmation? (I would really like the answer to the last question to be yes.) -What of her friendship with Susan? Might there be some better balance with Sally moving towards that stability as well? Will they be gleefully evil with each other now instead of at each other? My letter, linked below, has me saying some of the same things but also I talk about my thoughts and/or feelings on the show and the character I requested. A couple more seeds of ideas, if the above was no help. Blah, blah, blah—all of that said... Happy writing, dear yuletide author! |

(That got long... Pun unintended, mostly.) Some specific prompts straight from my brain too, in case that interests you: -Secret first love (or at least first relationship): how much do they enjoy that? Sure they hide to stay safe, but there are benefits to not being talked about or no know really knowing and getting to assume and poke and meddle! Also, all the things they get away with doing to each sexily! -If we go gen with them, what of after their huge fight? In the college age maybe? I've always liked the idea of other characters writing to Charlie's 'dear friend'. What would they say and how have they changed without each other? For the better? [Angst is cool and all but for these kids but I would like it if their high school trysts could be just another mile in the rearview (or maybe not so much if you'd like to gift me beautiful grown-up future reconciliation fic, whether gen or shippy). Not necessarily major trauma even with the violence and homophobia. And if you go the gender fluidity route, I'd love explorations of how, ok maybe Brad ends up straight or bisexual (or, woah Patrick?) and they're comfortable or trying to be with before.] My letter, linked below, has me saying some of the same things but also I talk about my thoughts and/or feelings on the book (and movie—knowledge not expected if you haven't seen it, don't worry!) and the characters I requested.

Maybe Ryan sharing his mom, even though Scot doesn't need a new one. -If you go with future-fic shippiness, I want to see how you make it work.

His immersion in time-space must be a boss trait to have.) -Griffin not feeling down on being 'the last of his kind' and maybe how things look up for him on that end.

| dekka | Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) | William Brandt, Benji Dunn (Ghost Protocol) | I love the dynamic between these guys in the film, encapsulated by Benji's matter-of-fact, "...yes, and then I catch you,” responses in the face of Brandt's incredulity at making the jump into the shaft. Brandt's mind is always analysing outcomes, making predictions and looking out for risk, and Benji is confident in this case because he's already done all of that himself. Brandt's managed to hook up with the only person more professionally neurotic than he is! I'd be delighted to see a story that shows the process of Brandt coming to realise that he really can relax and trust Benji to pull some of the 'mental weight' behind what he has to do on a mission, and how this might go hand in hand with them developing attraction to/a relationship with each other. I'm a big fan of displays of competence and skill under pressure, and to my mind, this is just the fandom for fic about that: risky missions, success and relief = a great combination. Lots more options/likes/dislikes in the linked letter :o) | letter |
| dekka | Trailer Park Boys | Julian (Trailer Park Boys), Ricky (Trailer Park Boys) | Trailer Park Boys <3 I have all the time in the world for this show — it looks so spontaneous and fresh, but there's also so much written into it in terms of hints about character backgrounds, relationships between them, dialogue open to interpretation... I think it's really acutely observed, and (if it's not a totally weird thing to say about these characters and performances) understated. It would be great to see a bit of fic that explores some of the hints and under-the-surface stuff (although please steer clear of Julian's alcohol abuse in this option). Something serious dealing with how Ricky and Julian negotiate/regard the closeness that they obviously have between them would be totally awesome, for example. For an alternative and more light-hearted action-y or humorous focus, I love how the world of the TPBs so regularly involves everyone taking pleasure in little victories over their detractors/enemies, so anything that sees Ricky and Julian doing that would be cool too (especially if you want to hint at or include some laid-back, celebratory sex after whatever has happened is over). Lots more options/likes/dislikes in the linked letter :o) | letter |
| dekka | Payday: The Heist (Video Games) | Dallas (Payday: The Heist), Bain (Payday: The Heist) | Okay, so I'm a great lover of heists in fiction; bank robberies, safe-cracking, jewellery to order thefts — I can't get enough of 'em. I especially can't get enough of the badass guys in suits who invariably make up the crews doing the heists. As I'm also keen on characters who max out in competence and authority, Bain and Dallas are really interesting to me. I would really enjoy some fic that has them interacting together in person (as opposed to all the over-the-radio communication in the game - although I do love how all the different things Bain says during missions reveal his familiarity/feelings about the guys in the crew). Perhaps they could be discussing a job, or just kicking back and reminiscing about past glories? I like the interpretation that they've known each other a fair while, and as Bain used to go out on jobs before he switched up to the planning and overseeing role, it would be cool to hear about their past exploits fighting or stealthing alongside each other. If you fancy having these reminiscences reveal them as lovers, past or still current, that would also be super cool with me. Lots more options/likes/dislikes in the linked letter :o) | letter |
| dekka | Payday (Web Series) | Hector Morales (Payday), Bain (Payday) | Now, this web series might seem a bit hit and miss, with its low budget aesthetic and bizarrely random storyline and cast, but to me it's a goldmine of guilty pleasures. I love the tongue-in-cheek sense of humour bubbling away under a lot of the dialogue and the performances, and my favourite episode is the one focussed on Hector. Gary Daniels showing up to be a martial arts badass all over the place? With a small dog? And sharp tailoring? And a completely inexplicable British accent? Yeah, I can get with that! I'm curious to know how Hector hooked up with Bain and Crime.net in the first place, and why Bain sounds miffed that the heat on Hector means he's had to avoid being seen associating with him recently (especially because it looks like he's been watching Hector via his cameras instead). A fic that riffs on any of these aspects would be brilliant. Are they previous partners in crime? (Did they come up together, perhaps?), or did Bain just walk into the club one night and catch Morales' interest? Are they/have they ever been romantically involved? Lots more options/likes/dislikes in the linked letter :o) | letter |

I love how much fun they have together and how their personalities complement each other. I love how Max is always in Nev's face with a camera. I love everything. <3 It's important to me that these guys are Jewish, so no Christmas stories please. | letter |
| lmanoir | Ripper Street | Homer Jackson, Bennet Drake | I absolutely adore Jackson's clumsy attempts to court Drake and his firm belief that they're friends despite the fact that everything he says to Drake is super rude (don't tell the guy you like that he has meat hooks for hands, okay buddy?). Shippy is my preference but friendship is wonderful too! Happy/hopeful ending please (but I love Susan too so please don't break her and Jackson up, if you go shippy, I love polyamory/open relationships, or you could set it before she and Jackson get back together). | letter |
| lmanoir | Long Island Medium (TV) RPF | Theresa Caputo | I crave crossovers for this fandom! I'd love to see Theresa read basically anyone in any of my fandoms (if this sounds like fun to you, you can check my own fic and my dw tags to see if we share any fandoms). But I'd also love a story about her and any of her family (especially Victoria). I love how she helps people and gives them good advice and how everyone's mean parents are so much nicer in the afterlife because Theresa is a sweetheart! | letter |
| lmanoir | The Martha Stewart Show RPF | Martha Stewart (Martha Stewart Show), Kevin Sharkey (Martha Stewart Show) | I love their friendship! I can't even deal with how one of her dogs is named after him. (Shippy is great too though if that's where your heart takes you, so long as it's respectful of Kevin's queer identity. :) I would love to read about them working on something together (decorating his apartment or one of her homes, planning an issue of the magazine, him arranging the flowers for one of her parties, an episode of her show, etc. etc), or just hanging out or shopping. | letter |
| lmanoir | Continuum (TV) | Kiera Cameron, Agent Gardner (Continuum) | OMG they were so cute together! I'd love anything with them, shippy or not, from learning grudging respect to angry sex to cute flirting to hurt/comfort. [SPOILERS] I'd prefer either fic set before Gardner's death, or AU, or hey, it's science fiction, maybe he could come back from the dead! |
letter |
| lmanoir | The Wolverine (2013) | Yukio (The Wolverine), Yashida Mariko (The Wolverine) | I LOVE their relationship. When Yukio says, "Mariko doesn't make friends easily" to explain why Mariko apparently saw her and said "THAT ONE PLZ" to the point that her parents took in a strange girl off the street--there is just SO MUCH going on there! I'd love anything from porn to childhood backstory gen. No sad endings or unrequited, please. | letter |
| Beth H (bethbethbeth) | Die Dreigroschenoper | Threepenny Opera - Brecht/Weill | Jackie "Tiger" Brown, Macheath | Either gen or slash is fine for this pairing - as you choose. For Macheath and Tiger Brown, I'd rather not have the setting be during the events of canon, although canon events can be mentioned. Before canon (especially during their army days) would be good, but if you're so inclined, I'd love to see something set directly after canon ends - something that deals with Macheath and Brown getting their relationship back on track after Brown's betrayal. Include whatever canon characters you want, even Polly, but I'd like to see the emphasis on Macheath and Brown's relationship. | letter |
| Beth H (bethbethbeth) | Carny (1980) | Donna (Carny), Patch (Carny), Frankie (Carny) | Any combination of two or more of the three main characters is fine, including a threesome. This doesn't necessarily mean slash or het however. I'd be perfectly happy with something friendship-based that takes the characters' relationships beyond the scope of the movie, maybe something plotty focusing on interactions with non-Carny folk? Or possibly a backstory fic, particularly one that focuses on Frankie and Patch? Or something Carny-ishly domestic, set many years post-movie? As with all my requests, a happy or hopeful ending is preferred. | letter |
| Beth H (bethbethbeth) | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Grant Ward, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | What I'd really love for this yuletide is a story in which the characters are trapped/held captive in some bizarre, Marvel-related way and have to work together to extricate themselves. In the process, the three should share secrets/learn to trust each other more than we see in canon. Feel free to include FitzSimmons and/or Phil Coulson (especially Phil Coulson!), but keeping the focus solely on the original three is fine too. However! If this doesn't seem interesting to you, a post-episode tag (from any of the episodes) would be great too. | letter |
| Beth H (bethbethbeth) | Hawkeye (Comics) | Kate Bishop (Hawkeye), Barney Barton (Hawkeye) | Gen, by preference, this time around. Maybe Kate (with Lucky?) ends up spending time with Barney for some reason (either in NY or out west), either on a case or in a purely relationship driven story - the development of an uneasy friendship, perhaps? Bonus points for including Clint (although obviously not necessary), but if you do include him, if you could have Clint not be the cause of his own unhappiness somehow, that would be great. If that's not workable for you, any interaction is fine - and feel free to include any characters from the Marvel comics universe if they help in the story. | letter |
| Beth H (bethbethbeth) | Galaxy Quest (1999) | Alexander Dane, Gwen DeMarco, Jason Nesmith | omething post-film, by preference, maybe with Gwen, Alexander, and Jason shooting an episode and then finding themselves transported somewhere that is almost identical to the society in the ep. Very much an "oh god, this again?" situation. Funny or dramatic, as you choose (Gen preferred, but subtext is fine). If that doesn't strike your interest, any 'behind the scenes' interactions - i.e., anything we don't see in canon - is fine. | letter |
| Beth Winter (BethWinter) | Versailles no Bara | Rose of Versailles | Oscar François de Jarjayes | Class and/or gender politics. Getting mistaken for a guy and evening shenanigans with a young MA. Alternately - French Guards era Oscar and the evolution of her political views. | letter |

| ony | The Odyssey - Homer | Odysseus (Odyssey), Penelope (The Odyssey) | I love Odysseus and Penelope together, outwitting each other and everyone else around them, so: tell me about their courtship, or their rediscovering each other after Odysseus's return, or even Telegony fix-it fic (because honestly, I can't help but find that a terribly disappointing end for these two). I am always a fan of humor/banter/snark! Political intrigue is also something I find fascinating, as well as couples who are extraordinarily competent at ruling/manipulating/getting stuff done, so exploring that would be wonderful, too! Basically, I've loved a lot of the Odysseus/Penelope fic from Yuletides past, so plotty fic or fluff would all be delightful! | letter |
| ony | The Squire's Tales - Gerald Morris | Gawain (Squire's Tales), Terence (Squire's Tales), Arthur (Squire's Tales), Eileen (Squire's Tales) | I love these books, especially the constant snark and dorky references to obscure Arthurian mythology, as well as the genuine goodness of the characters! That being said (...spoilers for a book series released years ago follow?) my favorite period of time is immediately post The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady/The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf. So maybe tell me about an adventure these three had around that time period then and/or (since Terence/Eileen is a pretty excellent ship) more about how the two of them managed to keep their relationship under wraps for sixteen years. And of course I love Arthur; this series's quiet, kind, dryly funny Arthur is one of my favorite versions of the character, and something from his perspective during these years would be quite interesting. Arthur getting to participate in, if not outright have, an adventure of his own would be great! If you want to have Lynet and Gaheris (another duo/ship I adore!) cameo, or any other knights from the first few books, that would also be absolutely wonderful! I'm a quick reader, and I like long plotty fic a lot, but let's be honest, mostly I just want to visit with the characters and canon just one more time and I'll pretty much be thrilled with whatever you want to write! | letter |
| ony | Georgian History RPF | Tamar Queen of Georgia ( Georgian History RPF), David Soslan (Georgian History RPF), Rusudan of Georgia (Georgian History RPF) | Queen Tamar of Georgia is sadly not too well known--but she was pretty incredible! She's famous for bringing in the Golden Age of Georgia as queen regnant, and essentially for being a very savvy ruler. I'd love something about her relationship with David Soslan, her second husband (after she divorced her first husband, a Russian prince who had been picked out for her by her nobles), or her relationship with any of the Rusudans in her life--these include her aunt and chief advisor (and also the mentor/teacher of David Soslan, mentioned above); her younger sister, about whom not much is known; and her daughter, who ruled as a queen regnant of Georgia herself. Or anything about Queen Tamar being awesome would be excellent! | letter |
| ony | College of Magics - Caroline Stevermer | Agnes Paganell, Prosperian Nallaneen | The residents of Aravill, both past and present, fascinate me. First of all, there's Prosperian Nallaneen; we get snippets about her, but never the full story of why she decided to create the rift, other than she was trying to create something "wholly good" and was also preoccupied with political upheavels at the same time. So, uh, what was up with that, anyway? Closer to the novel's timeframe, there's Agnes, who I found myself liking far more than I thought I would; she's definitely unpleasant but she loves her sister and her family and definitely seems to have more going on than Faris pays attention to. So, alternately, anything about Agnes would be excellent! What's her relationship with Menary like, particularly if you like backstory? What's her relationship with her dad like, and how is it affected by erm, certain events in the climax? (Seriously, what that meant for poor Agnes, given everything else she loses by the end of the novel, horrified me once it all sank in. If you like post-canon fic, something dealing with Agnes's fate would be marvelous.) | letter |
| ony | The Mask of Zorro (1998) | Elena de la Vega (The Mask of Zorro), Esperanza de la Vega (The Mask of Zorro), Alejandro Murrieta | I would really like something Elena-centric; I always have to wonder why the creators never spend much time, in either this movie or the sequel, on the character who arguably undergoes the most upheavals during the running time. How in the world does Elena react to finding out that her father isn't really her father, the random servant she's been talking to actually is her biological father, the man who's been courting her is a peasant instead of a nobleman (and also, y'know, Zorro.) More intriguingly, she also gets a chance to reevaluate her impression of her mother--what does she find out about Esperanza? How do any or all of these affect her? Judging from the sequel, it seems Alejandro was the one to inherit the de la Vega title; how, why, and how does Elena feel about that?If you're up for plotty adventure fic, Alejandro implies in the sequel that she joined him on his exploits as Zorro, and certainly her behavior implies she's no stranger to self-defense, so Elena being heroic and awesome, either with Zorro or on her own? If you like AUs, a story where Diego isn't identified/imprisoned, Esperanza lives, and Elena (either with or without her parents' blessing) takes up the masked fight for justice, maybe crossing paths along the way with a horse bandit named Alejandro Murrieta? (I think Elena/Alejandro also needs a fair bit of development, in both canon and AUs, to get us to where they are in Legend of Zorro, so dealing with that is also something I'd be interested in!) | letter |
| Bette | Blood Brothers - Russell | Mickey Johnstone (Blood Brothers), Edward Lyons (Blood Brothers) | I saw this show for the first time while I was in London a few summers ago (before it closed!), and my first thought was "this would make for some great fic.” What I'd love to see is an alternate storyline with Mickey and Eddie falling for each other, either with the story playing out as it actually does, or with a fix it sort of ending. Since we basically see them at every stage of their lives, there's so much potential for so many types of things: exploration, first times, hurt/comfort, whatever you like! I didn't add him to my requested characters, because he isn't a requirement for me, but I also love the Narrator, so feel free to have him with his creepy voice over if you'd like to. Also, Sammy and Linda cameos would be fine, even cameos from the mothers, but I'd like the story to center around Mickey and Eddie. If slash isn't your deal, no worries, I'd love anything with missing scenes between them that explore their dynamic, or even an alternate ending after they're revealed as brothers with them trying to resolve that fact, etc. | letter |
| Bette | Noah's Arc | Ricky Davis, Noah Nicholson, Junito Vargas | What I love about this show are the character interactions, how much they care for each other no matter how dysfunctional they sometimes are. Ricky is my favorite character, I love the way he continually is discovering that he's a lot deeper than he thinks he is, and I really love Ricky/Junito or Ricky/Noah. Want to rewrite the film so that Noah goes for Ricky instead, have at it! Want to bring Junito back? I can't believe he wasn't in the film to begin with! Want to put Ricky/Junito/Noah in a hot threeway? I won't complain. Or, on the gen side, the gang does a lot of things well: hang out, protect each other, and rescue each other. My favorite secondary characters are Trey, Baby Gat, and T-Money in the series and I thought Brandon was awesome in the film. Honestly, I'd be up for just about anything. I'm not the biggest fan of Wade, so I'd prefer he not be the focus. But if you don't want to disregard the film canon, you certainly don't have to. | letter |
| Bette | When She Woke - Hillary Jordan | Hannah Payne, Aiden Dale, Simone (When She Woke) | This novel terrifies me with how easily it could be real, you know? But as I was reading it, what I'd really like are some endings and some resolution that we don't really get. I don't need something that fixes everything, but I would like to get a sense of where they are in the future. Maybe Hannah and Aiden find each other again, maybe they don't. If they do, making actual amends with each other seems like it would take a lot of blood and pain for them both. I also am incredibly interested in Simone and what her story would become if we knew the rest of it. If you've matched me on this, what I really just want is more, so anything more that you give me in this world is going to be excellent. | letter |
| Bette | Strike Back | Damien Scott, Michael Stonebridge, Liam Baxter, Julia Richmond | My new favorite TV show, perfect for things blowing up and for a lot of good team dynamics. I love the energy between Scott and Stonebridge. Slash or a hot threesome would, of course, be more than welcome there. But I also love the team dynamic of this show, so anything that incorporates that will be just fine with me. As secondary characters, I loved Liam and I love Julia. Anything that explores either of them in any sort of detail would be great too. I am not a fan of Rachel Dalton's character, so I would prefer she not be a major focus of anything I receive. | letter |
| Bette | Graceland (TV) | Mike Warren, Paul Briggs, Johnny Tuturro | I picked my three favorite characters, but this is another example of a show where what I love is the team dynamic. So, once again, if you want to write slash pwp or a hot threesome, you feel free - but I'd also love to see them working a case, spending time together, or working through the emotional sabotage of the end of the season. And of the other members of the team - I like them all! (This is a rare occasion where I even like all of the GIRLS!) So, feel free to include whoever you'd like. | letter |
| Bette | The 4400 | Shawn Farrell, Jordan Collier | This show ended way too soon. I've listed Shawn and Jordan as the characters I'd like to see, but really you can write about anyone. What I'd really like is just some world-building picking up where the series left us all feeling unfulfilled. How did the world change? What did any of those with new abilities learn/do with them? Do we have a paradise? I'm completely happy with Gen here, but if you want to write romance for anyone I'd really rather not have Shawn/Jordan. That was always more a strange father/son thing to me than it was romantic. | letter |

| weenthebliss | Kraken - China Mieville | Dane Parnell, Billy Harrow, Kath Collingswood | Any, *literally* any fic from this book will make me a happy woman, but my preference is strongly for Dane/Billy or something about Collingswood. There's something about Dane and Billy that just tugs at my feels, and I would love a fic exploring their relationship while they were on the run; was there more there that the book didn't tell us about, or not? After the end of the book, how does Billy deal with Dane being gone? And of course, being a sap, I would love a fix-it fic reinterpreting Dane's demise, or Billy using the more unconventional means now available to him to try and get Dane back. A+ for Collingswood and Wati cameos, cus I love both of them to bits. I'd also love a story about Collingswood's rise to extra-awesomeness after the kraken incident, or about one of the other cults if that's your thing. This whole world fascinates me and I'll read anything that plays around with it. | letter |
| weenthebliss | Curse Workers Series - Holly Black | Desi Singer | There are few words to properly describe my love of Desi. I love his relationship with Cassel, with his wacky daughter, with Cassel's friends, and I love the whole aging hitman trope. So basically anything that focuses around him would be awesome, but what I'd love most is backstory fic. What did Desi get up to in the fifties and especially the sixties? I am basically desperate for fic about him in a three-piece and fedora doing shifty magic for the Zacharovs. | letter |
| weenthebliss | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Locke Lamora, Jean Tannen | This is another one where basically any story you want to tell me, I want to hear. There is nothing I don't love about this series; they're my favorite books, and I'm obsessed with the world and everyone in it. Mostly I would love to read fill-in-the-blank fic (as opposed to what happens post-Republic of Thieves) about the Bastards' past, about the Barsavis, about Chains, whoever. The world of Camorr is endlessly fascinating to me; the city's almost like a character itself, and anything that explores more of it as a setting would be awesome. (Also, I put Locke and Jean for the characters because I had to choose someone, lol, but I'm open to a story about anyone in this fandom.) |
letter |
| weenthebliss | Philip Marlowe - Raymond Chandler | Terry Lennox (Philip Marlowe Series), Philip Marlowe (Philip Marlowe Series) | I ship Marlowe and Terry Lennox *so* hard. It'd be hard to go wrong here-- I love noir and I love everything about this pairing, and whatever you want to write me about them will make me really happy. | letter |

I cannot describe in words how much I love it and the characters. I'd love something about any of them, really. I know that I specified Thea and Mimi, but if you'd rather write about one of the others, I'm totally okay with that. :D The women are my favorite, but it's like saying I like breathing through my left nostril more than my right. Please, do anything you'd like. I am suggesting a holiday/Christmas story, because with this "slice of life" type of tale, I thought it could be fun to see what sorts of shenanigans the gang gets up to, but feel free to do anything you'd like. Also, please feel free to substitute any other holiday. |

| wize | Wreck-It Ralph (2012) | Wreck-It Ralph, Vanellope von Schweetz, Sergeant Calhoun | I just saw this movie and have watched it like four time in a week. I didn't know that I needed to nominate it before this, so I didn't nominate characters - but please feel free to add Fix-it Felix Jr. to your cast if you write this. (Or any of the others!) I'd love shenannigans, or adventures, or the further tales of romance, or how Vanellope has to run a kingdom with a rather oddball group of advisors. This story was adorable and I have MUCH love for it! |

| Bexless | Orange is the New Black | Poussey Washington, Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson | I personally don't ship them romantically, just because I love them as BFF SO HARD. I love these two. Ideally I would love to see how they became BFF, or maybe them pulling a prank. Or maybe them out of jail TOGETHER, determined to make a go of it? Or Taystee gets out and comes to visit Poussey. I just love their friendship and would adore any story which explores it and their awesomeness. In general I like good dialogue, humour, pining, magical transformation, comedic misunderstandings, found families, and warm fuzzies. In general I dislike pining that doesn't get resolved, magical transformation that doesn't get resolved, character death, character bashing, bigotry and unpleasantness. |

| Bexless | The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller | Patroclus (Song of Achilles), Achilles (Song of Achilles) | OTP OF MY HEAAAAAAAAAAAART AUGH I loved this book so much I was really mad when I had finished reading it. IT WAS OVER AND I COULD NEVER READ IT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER AGAIN. RUDE. SO RUDE. What I'd really like to see is something set during their time with Chiron, or maybe once they are reunited in the afterlife, or even during the war, if you can make it happy. I would really prefer happiness with these two. I adore them in all incarnations pretty much, but especially adored the way their relationship was treated in this book :D Sex is great! Snuggling is great! Conversation is great! I LOVE IT ALL. In general I like good dialogue, humour, pining, magical transformation, comedic misunderstandings, found families, and warm fuzzies. In general I dislike pining that doesn't get resolved, magical transformation that doesn't get resolved, character death, character bashing, bigotry and unpleasantness. |

| Bexless | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Headless Horseman | I find the HH to be inherently hilarious. How does he see? How does he hear? How does he smell? Terrible! (Sorry.) LOL I know he's supposed to be scary but he just makes me laugh. HE HAS NO HEAD. I would love some kind of comedy A Day in the Life where he goes about his business and records the trials and tribulations of living without a head. YES I KNOW HE'S MAGIC but imagine if he had to go to the DMV. He can interact with any/all of the other characters from the show, or none at all, it's up to you :D In general I like good dialogue, humour, pining, magical transformation, comedic misunderstandings, found families, and warm fuzzies. In general I dislike pining that doesn't get resolved, magical transformation that doesn't get resolved, character death, character bashing, bigotry and unpleasantness. |
|
| Bexless | Friends | Monica Geller, Chandler Bing | I would like to see a futurefic about these guys, especially about their children. It could even be from the kids' perspectives if you wanted. I love Chandler and Monica and hope they don't break up, so - happyfic, please, if you could manage it? :D? I would like to see Chandler dealing with the responsibilities of being a dad, and Monica, out-momming EVERYONE IN THE WORLD. I would also love to find out what Jack and Erica grow up to be like! Appearances from other Friends always welcome ^_^ If you'd like guidance for that: my personal headcanon is that Rachel and Ross DO go to Paris, together, for a few years, but then come and live on the same street as M&C AND OBVIOUSLY Phoebe and Mike (although if you wanted to break them up and get Phoebe back together with her awesome scientist dude I WOULD NOT HATE IT) BUT optional details are optional, obvs. In general I like good dialogue, humour, pining, magical transformation, comedic misunderstandings, found families, and warm fuzzies. In general I dislike pining that doesn't get resolved, magical transformation that doesn't get resolved, character death, character bashing, bigotry and unpleasantness. |

| ondtherubicon | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman | Post-series. Can be a happy ending or not but I'd really like to see an exploration of where Jesse goes from here and if he can even build a better life for himself or not. I a HUGE fan of the character and want to see him finally have a good life but I'm also a HUGE realist so I wouldn't object to a darker take on the story either. Or something in between. | letter |
| ondtherubicon | Homeland | Carrie Mathison, Peter Quinn, Saul Berenson, Nicholas Brody | I'd like something Carrie-centric if possible. I ship Carrie/Brody in spite of also thinking they'd be better off forever far apart. I'd love to be convinced that Carrie/Peter could go somewhere. I appreciate how the show explores Carrie's medical history and how it helps/hinders her job. I love how passionate she is about her job. I'm open to this being set during a past season, current season, or in the future. I watch the show the night it airs or within 24 hours of it airing so I won't be spoiled if its set during this season. | letter |

| illtheradish | The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) | Halloweentown - Character | I love the idea of the various holiday towns as being entities in their own rights. What did Halloweentown think about Jack's behavior? How much, if any, sway does it have (or wish it had) over its inhabitants? Or go further back. What did it think of Oogie Boogie? Whether he had been the ruler of Halloweentown or just another candidate, he was obviously a power and the town presumably would have noticed and possibly had opinions or thoughts about it. Does it want to send lacy pink hearts to Christmastown and not even know why? |

| illtheradish | Neon Pegasus (music video) | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiO9_PJ0h8Q I do not know why this video is so addictive. There are more details in my letter, but mostly I'd love to see some of the background hinted at in this video. And I am open to either cracktastic (in the tone of the video) or gritty and dark (I'm not a huge fan of angst, or misery for the sake of misery, but the hinted-at story kind of calls for something less-than-fluffy, I think). I'll love you forever if you don't make the Marzipan Girl an It girl who wasn't interested in dating the Neon Pegasus. Personally, I like her as the leader of a guerrilla resistance or a bookie, but feel free to go your own way. Just like the Neon Pegasus. |

| illtheradish | The Wrylon Robotical Illustrated Catalog of Botanical 'Bots - Barry McWilliams | http://barrymcw.com/wrylon/ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1537376953/the-wrylon-robotical-illustrated-catalog-of-botani You might not have offered for this, but if you're stumped for whatever we did match up on, I hope you'll consider looking into the information available online for this one. It's enough to get the gist of what's going on, and I'm not asking for much more than that. I'd love to see something from the perspective of a flower recipient. Did they know to be expecting a robot to suddenly appear (and potentially chase after them, if they didn't and tried to run from the threat)? Did they have an easy time getting their flower? What did they think of the robot, and whoever it was that sent them? It would also be awesome to see something from Mrs. Wrylon's perspective, just in general. I imagine their home life wasn't exactly quiet and mundane... |

| illtheradish | Nemesis: Agatha Christie's Miss Marple (1987) | ...how did you even get here? How did you end up offering for this? You have already blown me away. I love the side characters and the characters we don't see, in this episode/movie. Limiting myself to four people was hard. Miss Cooke and Miss Barrow are in a very interesting profession, considering their time and culture. What brought them there? What is it they normally do? Who are they to each other? I'm fine with either femslash or gen here. Or het, if you feel like creating OCs. I am totally down with OCs. Just remember that they're identified as Miss, and thus as likely not married. For the following prompts, I'd prefer something gen. Lionel Peel goes through an amazing character arc, from being happy with boredom to actually managing to pass as homeless in order to find Michael Rafiel. But...most of it happens off screen. Most of the real telling points, anyway. I want to see more of that. Verity was such a driving force, but we didn't get so much as a flashback. I'd love to meet her. Alternatively, I would ADORE seeing a story in which the ghost of Verity Hunt teams up to help Lionel Peel as he evolves as a character and clear Michael's name. (I don't have links for this one, sorry. Last year, I was able to find the entire episode on youtube. Not anymore...) |

I guess I just really enjoy Characters-As-Seen-By-Other-Characters pieces, and any variation with the added element of a known or unknown hitchhiker makes it that much more fun. | letter |

I've added Harry Dresden, John Marcone, and Sigrun Gard and hope that goes through too, because those are all awesome characters (as are all other characters!) to hang out at Mac's. | letter |

| Blackbird Song (Blackbird_Song) | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | Stephen Maturin, Jack Aubrey | I'd love a reconciliation story between them. I really don't mind which book it's based on, or even if it's not based on anything specific, just something that has them coming back together after they've hurt each other - unwittingly, or otherwise. I love slash and gen, any rating, but cannot deal with non-con or heavy kink. |
letter |

Wren | Michael Geste, John Geste, Digby Geste | omething that chronicled the life and love between the brothers from Beau's (Michael's) point of view would be lovely. I'll leave it to the author's discretion as to how that love is expressed. | letter |
| Blackbird Song (Blackbird_Song) | Big Eden (2000) | Henry Hart, Pike Dexter, Dean Stewart | I'd love a story about how Dean Stewart reacts when Henry and Pike finally get together. Is he completely happy with that, or does he feel flashes of jealousy/resentment that he can't figure out and/or doesn't know how to handle? | letter |

letter |
| BlackEyedGirl | Alphas | Gary Bell | Gary is awesome. I love how sure of himself he is, and how he articulates what's going on with him when the people around him just don't get it. I would love to see something with him thinking through or discussing his Alpha identity alongside his autism, if that's the kind of thing that interests you. Or the adventures of Gary and the teammate of your choice, solving a case with their own skillset? Or, indeed, future-fic if you feel like tackling the cliffhanger? | letter |
| BlackEyedGirl | Hark! A Vagrant | Wonder Woman (Hark! A Vagrant) | Honestly, I'd love anything with Wonder Woman doing the hero thing but being really put out about it. Maybe there really are Nazis this time (or something else that brings her back to 'her roots')? Alternatively, she and Hark!Lois Lane get together and mock Superman. Or something meta-ish about the continued lack of Wonder Woman movie? | letter |
| BlackEyedGirl | Merrily We Roll Along - Sondheim/Furth | Charley Kringas, Franklin Shepard, Mary Flynn | I would love to see something outside the times we get during the show, whether that's a missing scene in one of the periods we transition through, or pre-canon with Charley and Frank, or post-canon where Charley and Mary come to rescue Frank, or can't rescue him as the case may be. I love stories about writers writing, and about partnerships/old friends, and the people who love you at your most unlovable. | letter |
| BlackEyedGirl | Slings & Arrows | Geoffrey Tennant, Oliver Welles | I would love anything that digs a little deeper into how complicated and loving and screwed-up Geoffrey and Oliver's relationship was even before their estrangement. Bring Oliver back for a little while, or tell me a story that happened before Geoffrey's breakdown. Or just give me theatre-shenanigans where the two of them yell at each other a lot about the right thing for the show. | letter |
| Blacksquirrel | Le Pacte des Loups | Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) | Mani (Le Pacte des Loups), Grégoire de Fronsac, Marianne de Morangias | I love the relationship between Mani and Grégoire. It could be slashy or friendship, but they are the emotional core of the film to me. I would really love Mani/Grégoire/Marianne, but only if you're into that. My favorite other aspect of the film, besides exploding pumpkins, is the exploration of racism, colonialism, and 18th century politics, so if you want to connect with those themes, that would be awesome. | letter |
| Blacksquirrel | Chocolat - Joanne Harris | Vianne Rocher (Chocolat - Harris), Roux (Chocolat - Harris), Josephine (Chocolat), Monsieur Reynaud le Curé | I love the film, and also the most recent book in the series, Peaches For Monsieur le Curé. I would love something set in Lansquenet after the story ended. Pick and mix pretty much any pairing (Vianne/Josephine, Vianne/Roux, Josephine/Francis Reynaud), but regardless, I just really wanted to hear more of what happened next. | letter |
| Blacksquirrel | Wire in the Blood | Tony Hill, Carol Jordan | I love the complexities of Tony's psychology. Something delving into his thoughts would be fantastic - particularly as they relate to his (in)ability to form relationships - either friendship or romantic/erotic with Carol, Paula, or Alex. Or several of them at once if you're ambitious. Or his thoughts upon their relationships with each other. | letter |
| Blacksquirrel | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | Tell me a story - any story. I love these two - romantically or as friends, but deeply entwined either way. Feel free to explore some of the supporting characters as well, if you're so moved: Alfredo, Lt Bell, Cpt. Gregson, Ms. Hudson, Clyde ;) | letter |
| lindmadness | 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) | Kat Stratford, Patrick Verona | Their lives and relationship post-movie: how do they make it work? Are they on-again, off-again? Are they long-distance? What kind of arguments do they have and how do they make up? | letter |

| lithers | New Girl | Jessica Day (New Girl), Elizabeth (New Girl), Cece Parekh | I'd absolutely love to read a story that focuses on the women of New Girl. What about a story where Jess, Cece, and Elizabeth are the original roommates living together in LA, and Nick is the one who moves in with them after a bad breakup - a gender/character flip of the pilot episode? Or a five times fic - five drinking games that the women of 4D played, and one they shouldn't have? What about a story about how Elizabeth becomes friends with Cece and Jess, either while or after dating Schmidt? Feel free to mix in whatever ships you might like, as long as the story has our three girls interacting with each other! | letter |
| lithers | Hackers (1995) | Dade "Zero Cool/Crash Overide" Murphy, Kate "Acid Burn" Libby | I'd love a closer look at Dade and Kate's relationship, either during or post-movie - the two of them have crazy chemistry and a fantastically prickly respect for each other. More escalating bets (competition as foreplay) that Zero Cool and Acid Burn made? What are the two of them like in college? That one hack they did the summer after their senior year? I'm also fascinated by the world building in Hackers - I'd love to see an imaginative look at the more outlandish paradigms in the movie (navigating files by flying around 3D buildings - what if that was a REAL THING? What does that mean in the 90s world of Hackers tech?), a gritty, more realistic approach to the hacking in the movie (aka The One With Real Hacking), or maybe a closer look at the ethics and culture of hacking. Hack the planet! | letter |
| lithers | My Boys (TV) | P. J. Franklin, Brendan Dorff | I adore everything about PJ and Brendan - their chemistry, their shared history, their BFF easiness with each other - and I would love anything from a story about their friendship to total and absolute smutty smuttasticness. They're set up as such a perfect ship - best friends since college, he had a huge crush on her and couldn't bring himself to say anything, they made out but only the once, and now are fabulous and easy and oh-so-pretty BFF roommates. That's pretty much a recipe for how to create a relationship I will be into. And the show has such a laid-back vibe - I really dig the midwestern attitude and Chicago shout outs and discussions about sports and the bar culture/games. Basically, if there's PJ and Brendan interacting in any fashion, I will be totally thrilled. | letter |
| lithers | Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV) | Jake Peralta | I'd love a story pairing Jake up with either Amy or Rosa, and trope-y detective stuff would be AMAZING here: A management assigned team building retreat. Pretending to be dating/married for a case, and making out to avoid getting caught. Trapped together in close quarters. Alternately, I'd also love a story exploring the dynamic between Jake and Holt, which I think has been one of the best parts of the show so far. I'm less interested in pairing the two of them in a relationship (I love that Captain Holt appears to be happily married!) but very much interested in how the two of them bounce off each other - undercover on a case and driving each other crazy, going drinking together, you name it. Again, trope-y is amazing for this one. | letter |
| liumchik | Casablanca (1942) | Ilsa Lund, Rick Blaine, Victor Laszlo | I want backstory AU in which Rick stayed in Paris. All I ask for is fighting Nazis and threesomes. | letter |
| liumchik | Drive (2011) | Standard Gabriel, Irene Gabriel, Driver (Drive 2011) | Again, I choose to believe that threesomes solve everything and no-one dies. That doesn't mean I don't like angst, so feel free to follow the plot of the movie pretty closely if that's what you want, just... add threesomes. | letter |
| liumchik | Cry For Judas (Music Video) - The Mountain Goats | This one could go a lot of different ways! I will elaborate in my letter, but I definitely want to know more about the characters and what's going on in the video. Stories about Tiny Satanist all grown up are also awesome. Feel free to take the demon summoning in either a realist or a fantasy direction, as it takes you. | letter | |
| liumchik | Wild Zero (1999) | Crack fic all the way! This movie is ridiculous and I adore it. Zombies! Road trips! Aliens! Cocaine! Rock and rollllll! More in my DYA letter :3 | letter | |
| liumchik | Мой нежно любимый детектив | My Beloved Detective (1986) | Oh man, I'll read pretty much anything about this. Holmes and Watson's relationship problems from earlier in the movie got kind of swept under the carpet, so I'd quite like to see that resolved, but I also wouldn't mind seeing the adventure on which Holmes met Jose, and then again Lester&Biggs failing hilariously at things is always great. Also, more crossdressing! If you're reading this as a blow-in, my DYA letter will link to the entire canon plus my translations! |
letter | |
| liumchik | Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (Album) | Grace (Danger Days) | I know the music videos never really established whose kid Grace Kelly played. the comics are coming out basically as we speak, and I intend to read them, so you can treat them as canon if you want to, but no obligation. If this works with that, I'd like a fic in which her mother is Jet Star's sister, and her father is Korse, which is why he kidnapped her. Presumably the mom is absent due to being deeply under cover or in some section of the resistance that's even less child-friendly than the Killjoys. You can basically go wherever you want with that idea, backstory or rescuefic or whatever. I find communal child-raising super adorable. Bonus points for Grace bonding with Show Pony. (if the comics do in fact offer a different Grace backstory that you prefer, just fic where Show Pony teaches her to rollerskate or something like that would be great!) |

| Blueinkedfrost | Cousin Henry - Anthony Trollope | Isabel Brodrick | Requested Isabel because I really like her character, but I'll be happy if she's a primary or secondary character in your story. This request is vague: I liked this book a lot and I'll love more of something similar. I loved Isabel's strong, capable decisiveness, her sense of duty, her pride, and her role as a female landowner. I also liked Apjohn's intelligence, although he didn't seem to have a lot of personality in the novel - maybe he should get another chance to play detective? Or maybe some of the other minor characters in the household or on the farms or in Isabel's birth family could have a say? Poor Henry doesn't have many good traits at all, but there are parts in the novel where one feels sorry for him. I liked Isabel's relationship with William Owen; it was a small part of the story but I adored how she instructed him to kiss her and take her in his arms. (I also liked how it was a small part of the story in the original novel, because Isabel's life was about more than romance. But that line isn't meant to apply to one-shot fanfics!) I'd enjoy a story adding to the novel's setting, or slice-of-life and the practicalities of looking after Llanfeare, or a what-if, or a fantasy or science fiction alternate universe, or a descendant of the characters learning more about their ancestors. Hope that there's something in this random slurry of prompt that works as inspiration! | letter |
| Blueinkedfrost | Charlotte's Inheritance series - Mary Elizabeth Braddon | I'll love most anything for these books that you enjoy writing - Charlotte/Valentine shipping, alternative-universe Charlotte/Diana femslash, Charlotte/Diana friendship, Diana getting to have adventures, Valentine backstory with hijinks and the art of the con, any character-viewpoint on any of the events in the novels. I love how Charlotte is so bright and kind, and I adore Valentine's character arc as a former con artist with a decent underside turned hardworking writer all for love! I love how the books convinced me that Valentine made a genuine choice to change - I think he's attractive and I think Charlotte is also very attractive. I also love Diana's character, although in the books I don't love how she's described as intelligent and skilled and yet she only gets a chance to show off passive virtues. This is typical for the era, I know, but if you're interested in giving her active adventures that would be very fun. I'd also love the viewpoint of any other characters, from Philip Sheldon to Georgy to Nancy Woolper. | letter | |
| Blueinkedfrost | Legendsong series - Isobelle Carmody | Any nominated or non-nominated character would be great! I love Sharra and her strength and singing and the way she's affected by and affects the main plot events while being one of the ordinary folk on Keltor. Sharra and her interactions with Ember or any other canon characters would be lovely. Alternatively, I'd love Alene and her fascinating tangled backstory with Argon or other background to Alene, or speculations about the future (whether optimistic or tragic futures!). Or Coralyn - anything about or including Coralyn. I love how she's so intelligent and ruthless and amoral and capable at being a villain. One of the things I like about this fandom is the way it's heavy on powerful, interesting female characters. I also enjoy the fantasy worldbuilding and the ideas that drive the story. Unys is another character I'm very interested in. I love the way that the novels seem to be building toward sympathetic character development for her and I find Unys' dysfunctional backstory very interesting, as Coralyn's orphaned stepdaughter forced to bond with a man she doesn't love. I love Glynn as well, although she's not on the nominated characters list. Argon and his complexities and ambiguities are fascinating. And Shenavyre and Lanalor, and the long time of Keltan history between them and Tarsin, would also involve lots of interesting potential stories. I'd love a story about any character at all in this fandom. Please don't feel limited by these prompts - I'd love to read a fic you enjoy writing in this fandom. | letter | |
| Blueinkedfrost | Baldur's Gate | Aphril (Baldur's Gate), Ellesime's Clone Skie Silvershield | These are weird characters to request! I will love anything in this fandom, any character, any story, so please take the characters as optional. I'd love to read about an underappreciated character, but since this fandom is small enough to be a Yuletide fandom, *every* character is underappreciated by definition. Fic about absolutely any character or subquest that you consider underappreciated would be great. Any characters encountered in the adventures about which little is known, any characters you enjoy, more information on any subquest you feel could do with some fleshing out. I also love original characters. Alternatively, I would love to read about your favourite party having an adventure, or characters having backstory or futurefic, or anything else you want to write. Specific prompts: Aphril the seer at Spellhold, and/or any other character at Spellhold - life history, connections with other canon characters who are in Spellhold or who might belong there, alternate universes where the confrontation with Irenicus goes differently? Aphril's dialogue in the game always intrigued me. Ellesime's Clone dies in the first few hours of Shadows of Amn, but what if that doesn't have to happen? I find the idea of Ellesime's Clone (and her original) really interesting. Skie Silvershield having adventures and picking up character development - I like how one of Skie's common canon lines between complaining about her nails is 'Can I help you?', how she halfway stands up to Eldoth by asking him why he treats their companions so badly, and how her complete naivete and newness to adventuring adds up to a character with a long way to go. Optional details are always optional. |

| luestalking | Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede | Oh, wow, I would be into SO MANY stories about this series. Among them: 1) The story where Shiara confronts the gross fact that Daystar basically magicked her into being a polite young lady 2) A story about Cimorene raising Daystar and CUTTING OFF ALL CONTACT FROM EVERYONE SHE LOVES (this part is really upsetting to me so I would like to know how she makes it okay) 3) Anyone doing anything, omg. |

letter | |
| luestalking | Gunnerkrigg Court | The mythology represented in Gunnerkrigg is largely western, but Britain is home to a lot of cultures and Gillitie Wood is a big place. I would love a story about a non-Western god (or gods, any of them) venturing in. | letter | |
| luestalking | Runaways (Comics) | ooo, this might be cheating a LITTLE, but what I really want is the current Runaways team to meet the current Young Avengers team, for everyone to be kind of horrified, for friends to be made, and maybe for them to fix something. Like FINDING POOR CHASE, FOR EXAMPLE. | letter | |
| lueteak | The Welsh Princes Trilogy - Sharon Kay Penman | John of England (Here Be Dragons), Joanna Plantagenet | I love how Penman humanizes King John and gives him credit for his accomplishments while refusing to whitewash the more horrific parts of his personality/reign. One of the things I loved most about Here Be Dragons was John's relationship with Joanna. I would love a fic that explored any part of that relationship, from when she was a child to his thoughts on her wedding (and his absence from it), to an imagined conversation between them about Maud de Braose--or more about what happened with her cousin Arthur. I would also very much welcome a John-centric fic that explores his relationships with the rest of his family (Henry, Eleanor, Richard), and/or Joanna and her children's relationships with John. A look at John and Davydd and more of his thoughts on his grandson being a possible enemy of England's would be fantastic. |
letter |
| lueteak | The Americans (TV 2013) | Elizabeth Jennings, Philip Jennings | I'm a sucker for stories that explore undercover identities and the blurry line between acting and being yourself (and which parts pass back and forth across the line) which is one of the things that drew me to The Americans. One of the other major draws is the 1980s Cold War atmosphere. What can I say, I love the combination of coded messages and Peter Gabriel. I'm also fascinated by the relationship between Philip and Elizabeth and their very American children and would love to see a pre-series or series-related story that deals with how Elizabeth and Philip handle raising children who are of a different nationality and do not know the whole truth about who Philip and Elizabeth are. Philip and/or Elizabeth's reactions to major events of the 1980s would also be very welcome. Thoughts on the fall of the Berlin Wall--or even New Coke and the release of E.T.--would be fantastic, as would plotty spy fic. |

| lueteak | The Hollow Crown (2012) | Prince Hal (The Hollow Crown (2012)), Henry IV of England (The Hollow Crown (2012)) | I found myself really wanting both more backstory on Henry IV's relationship with young Hal (and Hal's most likely uncomfortable questions about how their family came to power) and for Henry IV to witness and/or know more about Hal's experiences in the taverns. Henry IV witnessing Hal and Falstaff's roleplaying Henry IV and Hal in the tavern would be fantastic, for example, as would more of his thoughts on Hal vs. Hotspur (their fight or more on their general characteristics--would be especially interesting to see earlier thoughts about them revisited at several points). And if you're interested in ghost!Henry IV witnessing events in his son's reign, I certainly would love to read a fic about that, or some version of that (maybe Henry V thinking about what his father would have done/thought?). If you'd like to write something more Hal-centric, would love anything focusing on his early years, or romantic relationships (Hal/Hotspur? Yes, please. Friendship would be good here too if you don't want to slash them. Hal/women would be excellent as well). Would also love Hal getting involved in debates/fights with people who don't know he's the prince and then surprising them. |

| lueteak | The Wire | Norman Wilson, Tommy Carcetti | I wish that the spin-off focusing on the politicians in The Wire had been made, because man do I need more Tommy Carcetti and Norman Wilson. I would love anything about them, from their early working relationship to missing scenes during the mayoral campaign and discussions between them when Tommy realizes that he can't do everything he wants the way he wants while he's in office. I'm all for m/m or gen here that explores Norman's vast experience and the way he has to order Tommy around a bit/manage him in the beginning while he at the same believes/hopes that the idealistic (and somewhat bratty) Tommy can help turn Baltimore around. Character studies of one/both of them would also be amazing, as would post-series fic (President Carcetti, anyone? Secret Service Jimmy McNulty after he leaves the police department?) and/or an ensemble piece (I have this vision of Herc walking in on Tommy and Norman and going "Oh God, not again!" at the sight of another mayor engaged in an affair). But really, any configuration of Norman and Tommy and the rest of the characters that you'd like to write would be fantastic. Like, maybe Tommy gets arrested for being drunk in public by someone who doesn't recognize him and ends up briefly sharing a cell with Omar Little, or...well, there are lot of neat possibilities and I will appreciate whatever you do! |

| lueteak | The Lion in Winter (1968) | Geoffrey Plantagenet (The Lion in Winter), Philip II of France (Lion in Winter) | I really enjoy the combination of snark, love (though not necessarily 'like'), and reading of character/motivations in The Lion in Winter. Would love to see Henry's opinion of the closeness between Geoffrey and Philip in the film (can be slashy closeness or not--I'm happy with either m/m or gen) and/or Philip and Geoffrey discussing their pasts/families. I'm also really curious about what would have happened had Philip been present during some of the scenes between the Plantagenets. For example, what would have happened if he had secretly snuck down to the cellar when Geoffrey, John, and Richard were imprisoned? How would he have reacted when Henry sentenced them all to death? Would he have intervened and/or had mixed feelings about the possibility of having an enemy nation's possible leadership killed off? Alternatively, letters between Geoffrey and Philip before/after/during the timeline of the film would be fantastic. | letter |
| BluWacky | Tenkuu no Escaflowne | The Vision of Escaflowne | Dryden Fassa | What the heck does Dryden do with the rest of his life? I've never really made much sense of him telling MIllerna he's not worthy of her - both characters are somewhat shafted by the series typically hurtling on to the next plot point. Do you think he ever tries to make it work with her again? Does he just go off and have swashbuckling merchant adventures sleeping with mermaids and the like? I'd be interested to see what you think. Preferably nothing porny or totally cracked out unless you can justify it from the source material... | |
| BluWacky | Saga (Comics) | Lying Cat | Anything. ANYTHING, about Lying Cat. I apologise if this isn't massively helpful, but doesn't everyone love Lying Cat and want to see more of her? | |
| BluWacky | The Hour | Freddie Lyon, Bel Rowley, Lix Storm | By the end of the second season I thought The Hour was doing an absolutely fantastic job with Bel and Lix in particular and I always loved Freddie (I want to be him, basically). I loved the way Lix "mothered" them all but then got all that extra screentime in season 2 and was quietly devastating - but most importantly that whatever their personal foibles they all hungered for the truth in a way that maybe Hector, for instance, didn't. I would be delighted to see you just spend some time with all three of them. I'm not a "shipper" or looking for sexytimes or weird AUs here - just some time with my favourite characters as they are in the show, whether you have a story for them or just a vignette wherever they are in their lives. Preferably together at some point! I wasn't able to pick Isaac as a character I'd like to see but if you would like to work him into your story I would be very grateful - but PLEASE note this is optional. The show had so many interesting ideas for what to do with him (his satirical scripts in particular which were never quite good enough) and never quite followed through - but you do not have to include him at all! |
|
| BluWacky | Better Off Ted | Linda Zwordling | I know, everyone hates Linda. But I don't! Even though received wisdom is that once the show paired her up with Veronica as her mad mentor in the second season she improved massively as a character, on rewatching season 1 recently she was far less superfluous to proceedings than I remember. I'm not hugely into AUs or porny fic or anything like that - I like stories that show things the way they actually were. With Better Off Ted, however, Veridian was so weird that you could write most things and they'd be consistent. I'd just like to see Linda involved, rather than left out as in so many stories. You can write something involving any of the other characters too, but I would be grateful if you don't completely sideline her please. |
|
| Bobcatmoran | The Long Earth Series - Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter | Joshua Valiente Sister Agnes (The Long Earth) Sally Linsay | I am normally always up for an AU, but I love the worldbuilding in this fandom so much that I really, really want something in the canon universe. Er ... universes. This is an any/all/none of the characters kind of request. Basically, I just want to see more adventures by anyone across the Long Earth. Sally stepping out on her own pre-Step Day. Early explorations of the Long Earth. Sister Agnes being her awesome self. Your own ideas are also probably pretty awesome, I'm sure. It's all good. I'm cool with gen, het, slash, femslash, or threesomes. Just please don't make romance the main focus of the story, and keep it SFW, please. | letter |
| Bobcatmoran | My Teacher Is an Alien - Bruce Coville | Gen, het, slash, femslash, cross-species relationships, they're all fine by me, just no underage relationships, please. Canon-era Duncan, Peter, or Susan getting it on is not something I can get down with. If you need somewhere to start, I'm particularly fond of awkward culture clash moments, but don't feel limited by that. Anything from pre-series Hoo-Lan incognito on Earth to post-series Duncan and Susan among the aliens or anything in between would be great! Also, please don't feel pressured to use all the characters. Any of them, alone or in combination would be cool. | letter | |
| Bobcatmoran | The Tripods - John Christopher | The Master (The Tripods), Will (The Tripods), Fritz (The Tripods), Eloise de Ricordeau | This is another fandom where I fell in love with the worldbuilding, and any/all/none of the listed characters would be fine. Further adventures in re-discovering "The Ancients'" technology, a look at the destruction of the American and/or Asian domes, something from the Masters' point of view, or any of the (probably better) ideas you can come up with would be lovely. Bonus points for female characters, Eloise or otherwise, as the series was sorely lacking in them and it made me sad. Gen, het, and slash are all fine by me, just no PWPs, please. | letter |
| Bobcatmoran | Gender/sexbent Disney - Ripushko | This is very much a "or" sort of character listing, as I'm pretty sure trying to include ALL of these characters would take some doing. I'd love to see a retelling of any of these stories with a gender/sexbent protagonist. Feel free to switch up the genders and/or sexes of any of the other characters as well, but you're totally not under any obligation to do so. Slash, het, or gen is awesome. PG-13 or under for this one, please. (uh, that is, not working under the hypocritical system wherein, for example, two guys kissing gets a higher rating than a guy and a gal kissing, because that's dumb). | letter | |
| Bobcatmoran | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | I might have a thing for Ichabod trying to adapt to life in the 21st century, so a slice-of-life sort of fic would be pretty awesome. Just no having him immediately label stuff he doesn't understand as "witchcraft," please. The man was a professor at Oxford, and he hasn't done anything like that yet. Alternately, a look at Ichabod's life back in the 18th century would be cool, too. Did he ever meet any other historical figures? What was his life like with Katrina? Sexytimes/romance are okay (slash, het, femslash, threesomes are all okay), just please don't make it the focus of the fic, and no non-con, please. | letter |
| Bobcatmoran | Arm Joe | Being that this is a fighter game based on Les Mis, I'm not expecting anything super-serious here. I mean, if the muse has struck you in that direction, go for it by all means, but if you're going the route of pure, unadultrated crack, that is totally a good route to be on. If you want to try and explain how this world works (Where did Robojean come from? Why are they all fighting? Are these the canon characters thrust into video fighter game land or a crazy AU?), or try and explore the Cosette-Eponine-Marius love triangle thing in this 'verse, or even retell part of the story in this bizarro universe, I am up for all those or anything else your mind can come up with. Bonus points for working Pon-Pon in there, but that is a very optional detail that is optional, since he/she/it isn't even in the character list. Basically, go nuts, just no PWP, please. And I'm okay with any of the characters listed, either individually or together. You're under no obligation to include all of them, although you certainly can if you like. FYI, as far as canons go, I'm familiar with the musical, both stage and 2012 movie version, as well as The Brick. | letter | |
| oco | JoJo no Kimyouna Bouken | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure | Nijimura Okuyasu, Higashikata Josuke | I'd like a story where Josuke and Okuyasu go shopping after winning the lottery. Shenanigans ensue. "I can't fix what The Hand has erased" is a good line to remember. | letter |
| oco | Sân guó yǎn yì | Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Luó Guànzhông | 诸葛亮 | Zhûgě Liàng (三國演義 | Romance of the Three Kingdoms) | I'd like to see another episode in the epic rivalry between Kongming and Zhou Gongjin. "If Zhou Yu has already been born, why would Zhuge Liang have to be as well?" Zhou Yu wasn't on the approved characters list, though, so if you don't feel like writing him, give me a story from Kongming's youth! Why was the Sleeping Dragon so highly recommended by so many people at such a young age? |
letter |
| oco | Gunnerkrigg Court | Katerina Donlan, Paz Cadena Blanco | How are Kat & Paz doing these days? | letter |
| oco | Kamen Rider Kabuto | Tendou Souji | Gimme some cooking! Bonus points if you include the recipe. | letter |
| oco | Rockman X | Mega Man X | X (Rockman X), Zero (Rockman X) | ometime before the Red Alert situation, X officially retired from active duty. What was going on between X and Zero at that time, with Zero still being an active Irregular Hunter but X has a desk job? Was X working as a Navigator? or did he just do paperwork/administration/etc? Were they still close, or did they drift apart? Fill me in! | letter |
| Bodldops | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz | hort version: I'd love anything about these two - how they met, why she wanted to go into field so much... but I'd really love some field-work and-this-is-why-Ward-has-the-hate-face hurt/comfort. More to come in the letter! | letter |
| Bodldops | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Tobias Gregson | Mostly with this canon I'm interested in the day-to-day life - what is it like living with Holmes, how does he re-arrange his life to account for Watson, how does poor Gregson deal with two brilliant loose canons running roughshod over the NYPD, etc, etc. More to come in the letter! |
letter |
| Bodldops | Wire in the Blood | Tony Hill, Carol Jordan, Paula McIntyre, Kevin Geoffries | Oh, the canon of the supremely awkward relationships - Tony/Carol or Paula/Kevin and how they just keep kind of dancing around each other whilst solving murders most foul. More to come in the letter! |
letter |
| Bodldops | Grimm (TV) | Monroe (Grimm) | Oh Monroe - I really do love this character, and I want to know more about him - whether it's a deeper look into how he deals with some of the episodes, or where his fascination with holidays comes from, or why he decided to become a weider blutbad, or just a scene where he's let loose to play in the trailer, or... anything. This guy is my favorite. More in the letter! |

| ofoddity | Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn | Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn), Gilad Pellaeon (Thrawn) | Thrawn and Pellaeon are my favorite characters from Star Wars EU and I'd love to see any fic about them. Slash would make me swoon and fan myself, but gen would be wonderful too! Characterization and relationship porn are all I'm about. | letter |
| ofoddity | Star Wars: Outbound Flight - Timothy Zahn | Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Outbound Flight), Jorj Car'das (Outbound Flight), Thrass | Mitth'ras'safis (Outbound Flight), Admiral Ar'alani (Outbound Flight) | Young Thrawn was unexpected treat from Zahn and I'd love to see more of him. I loved the chemistry between him and Jorj and would love slash for them, but I will always welcome gen. And this is a Thrawn backstory canon, it's meant for exploring, expanding, AU-ing and so on. | letter |
| ofoddity | Citizen Kane (1941) | Charles Foster Kane, Jed Leland | My Citizen Kane experience: I went in for a classic movie, came out with OTP. I absolutely loved the relationship between Charles and Jed and I'd love to see any fic about them, gen or slash. | letter |
| ofoddity | Carmilla - J. Sheridan Le Fanu | Carmilla (Carmilla), Laura (Carmilla) | Femslash! Gimme all the creepy/sweet femslash! | letter |
| ofoddity | Get Fuzzy (Comic) | Satchel Pooch, Rob Wilco, Bucky B. Katt | I'd love some family gen for these guys! Kitten!Bucky and puppy!Satchel would be extra lovely. | letter |
| ofoddity | Fantastic Four (Comicverse) | Victor von Doom (Fantastic Four Comics), Reed Richards (Fantastic Four Comics) | All things Doom would be fantastic. I'm drawn to his rivalry with Reed in both gen and slash sense, but anything where Doom is the total Boss we know him to be is good by me. | letter |
| ogged | Kill Your Darlings RPF | Daniel Radcliffe (Kill Your Darlings RPF), Dane DeHaan (Kill Your Darlings RPF), John Krokidas (Kill Your Darlings RPF) | Please see my Dear Yuletide Author letter, but know that this is my absolute kryptonite (good kryptonite) so almost ANYTHING written for me in this fandom would be the best and I'd scream for days about it. There's a lot of canonical goodness to go off of in this fandom, specifically with the relationships between Dan, Dane, and John. | letter |
| ogged | Kill Your Darlings (2013) | William Burroughs (Kill Your Darlings), Lucien Carr (Kill Your Darlings), Allen Ginsberg (Kill Your Darlings), David Kammerer (Kill Your Darlings) | Please see my Dear Yuletide Author letter, as my request will probably materialize after I've seen the movie this week. | letter |
| ogged | New Girl | Nick Miller, Schmidt (New Girl), Winston Bishop, Jessica Day (New Girl) | Hijinks! And boys! And hijinks! This may be the only time I've ever been like YEAH GEN, but... YEAH GEN. Let's just get weird with these folks. | letter |
| ogged | The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo | The Darkling, Alina Starkov, Malyen Oretsev, Sturmhond (Grisha Trilogy) | The real joy of this series is the underlying current of darkness and tension, so let's explore that. I'd LOVE for a really explicit, sexual fic in this fandom. See Dear Yuletide Author letter for more details. | letter |

| ookchan | Drina Series - Jean Estoril | Drina Adams | Drina decided that Igor Dominick Jr was not for her after he ignored her and Rose for his cousin. I'd love to see something where he didn't ignore them. Or just something from behind the scenes because yes eventually she decides he's not for her (and for good reason) but I'd think they'd have fooled around a little at some point. If you'd prefer just Drina, I'd love to see her interact with or receiving letters throughout the years from people she's kept in touch with or from fans. In someways the books are fairly serious ones for all that they're a children's series about dancing, so how about some crack? How would Drina be affected by wings? What are some of the antics she got up to late at night with the other dancers? | letter |
| ookchan | Magids Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Roddy Hyde | Ok so I just reread the merlin conspiracy and it really frustrated me how everyone seemed to dismiss or not care about people being glamoured. We had Nick trying to glamour Roddy into liking him, Grundle doing the same and the twins glamouring their family. I'd love to see something about the consequences from that. If that's not a topic you want to approach I'd love to see something about Roddy becoming the next Lady Governance. Either her time learning or being the Lady Governance. | letter |
| ookchan | Harmony Series - Jayne Castle | Vincent (Dust Bunny) | I love the world building in this series and I love the dust bunnies, so anything dealing with them would be great! Vincent is one of my favorite dust bunnies because of the fact that he paints. It might be fun to have something from Vincent's perspective or about people's reactions to finding out that the painting they liked was by a Dust Bunny. It would also be interesting to learn about how dust bunnies and humans first became friends or interacted. |
letter |
| ookchan | 天然パールピンク | Pearl Pink | Momono Tamako, Monono Shinju | I really enjoyed the mother daughter relationship in this series and I'd like to see something exploring that. Whether its the two of them working together or 20 years in the future and Tamako has her own child, anything here would be awesome. If that doesn't spark something then how about Tamako's growth as an actress? Does she stick with TV/Movies or try Theater or says screw it all and becomes an accountant? A crossover with Skip beat or Penguin Revolution might be fun here too. |
letter |
| ookchan | Saiunkoku Monogatari | Kou Shuurei | For this one Kou Shuurei is my requested focus. I love her dedication to her job, family, and country. I would love to read something about her career achievements or to see what she's getting up to in her 50's and 60's, or what Shuurei and Ryuuki's relationship is like once they have some years under their belts and how he handles the fact that Shuurei will never be his Queen. Ran Ryuuren is also fun, so what hilarious stories do he and Shuurei have to tell/horrify future generations about? |
letter |
| Bookwormsarah | Fortunate Few - Tim Kennemore | I love gymnastics, and this book was my first taste of it. When I read it aged ten I had no idea it was AU - I imagined that there were leagues and clubs and fans out there. I rediscovered this as an adult and I'd love anything more in this world. What happened to gymnasts once they retired? What about when they were younger? Let your imagination flow! | letter | |
| Bookwormsarah | The Melendy Quartet - Elizabeth Enright | I would really love a happy family story, very much in the flavour of the books. I'd be interested in reading about Mona's time in New York, any of them as adults, a slice of life before The Saturdays - I would be delighted with anything. My only plea is that Mark isn't paired with any of the Melendys.. | letter | |
| Bookwormsarah | Hollis Family Series - Michelle Magorian | I really loved these books, and the way the family seems fractured at first, but as the novels build the strength is shown. I'd like anything - Elsie meeting Geraldine, Elsie at school, Ralph and his father and/or mother...you decide! | letter | |
| Bookwormsarah | The Silver Crown - Robert C O'Brien | Ellen Carroll, Jenny (The Silver Crown), Otto (The Silver Crown), Aunt Sarah | I was fascinated by this book when I first discovered it, and was desperate to know what happened next. I would really love to find out what happened to Jenny, how did Sarah cope with Ellen and Otto, did Ellen ever see anyone else from the 'school'...? | letter |
| Boomchick | Free! | Nanase Haruka, Tachibana Makoto, Hazuki Nagisa | We all know how Rin came to be part of the group, but I would love to know how these three darlings met each other! However you would like to go about it (if you would like to tell that story at all! I'm certainly not picky!) | |
| Boomchick | The Last Unicorn - Peter S. Beagle | I would love to read a little more about Molly and the unicorn, and whether they say each other again, but anything in this world would make me VERY happy! | ||
| Boomchick | Maru Desu | I Am Maru | Maru, Hana (I Am Maru) | Maru must be someone very special to Hana! I would love to read about the stories Maru has told, or just their growing relationship! | |
| Boomchick | Pet Shop of Horrors | Count D | I would dearly adore a story about how Tetsu met Count D, but anything to keep this fandom alive is golden! | |
| oosette | A Girl and Her Plesiosaur (comic) | Plesiosaur (A Girl and Her Plesiosaur), Girl (A Girl and Her Plesiosaur) | I'm always loathe to offer no guidance, but I would adore basically anything for this fandom. I fell in love with the comic strip and have spent months just wishing it was longer. Canon: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7paaqIW8P1rsyr85o1_500.jpg |
letter |
| oosette | American Girls: Molly - Various Authors | Molly McIntire, James McIntire | I've wanted to request this fandom and forgotten to since 2008. I'd really like a story set around Christmas, or with Christmas themes, maybe with the kids all grown up with families of their? Or a story where Molly follows in her dad's footsteps and becomes a doctor, possibly volunteering for service in Vietnam, or working in the VA during that war. She was born in 1934, so she would have finished undergrad in 1956 and would have been a full MD by the early 1960s. I've always loved her relationship with her father, and how she's very much like him in determination and compulsion to do good and bring joy to the people around her. (Also, her headstrongness and tendency to jump without looking first.) (I can also see her having the COMICS ARE DUMB/COMICS ARE NOT DUMB argument with Brad, and then becoming a secret Wonder Woman [First appearance 1942].). Also if you can work in historical Chicago I might just die of joy. Canon: Just the 6 books in her series, not the mysteries or the short stories published in American Girl Magazine or in the short story collection, or any other supplementary materials like craft books, cookbooks, or trading cards. (Oh Mattel, we can see right where you bought Pleasant Company and monetized the heck out of it.). |

| oosette | That '70s Show | Kitty Forman, Red Forman | Old married couples are one of my bulletproof kinks, and I love Red and Kitty for giving me 8 years of that. I'd love a story about the any point in their lives up until the show. Maybe something set early in their marriage, when they're just setting up house, or when Eric and Laurie (born ~1960 and ~1956, respectively?) are little. I also love them as old marrieds, so something set in the 80s-90s wouldn't go amiss, either. (GRANDKIDS.) I love the spirit and tone of the show, and its humor, and the way it worked in then-current events. Other ships I ship: Eric/Donna, Hyde/Jackie Canon: Currently streaming the entire series on netflix US. There are ways to get around country blocks if you google for them. |
letter |
| oosette | Green Hornet (TV) | Britt Reid (TV,) Kato (TV), Lenore Case (TV) | I'd really like casefic in the campy delicious spirit of the original show. I love the two-parter with the aliens for how Casey gets to participate and be awesome, and I love how Britt and Kato are basically at the point of reading each others' minds. I love the wacky ridiculous 60s future tech, the questionable forensics, the fact that the show's set in Michigan, the fact that it's set canonically in the same universe as both the 1960s Batman tv show, and that the 1960s Batman tv show is a tv show on TGH. Canon: Not available legally that I know of, however there are files ~*~out there~*~ if one were to google for, say, "kickass torrents". There are a couple of tie-in novels from the 60s floating around as well, but they're hard to find and not very good, so don't worry about them. I also quite dislike the 2011 movie. |
letter |
| oosette | Gargoyles (TV) | Elisa Maza, Goliath (Gargoyles), Angela (Gargoyles), Broadway (Gargoyles) | I'd love something in the same spirit as the show, with all its gray-on-gray complicatedness and layered characterization. Maybe Angela and Broadway continuing to get to know each other, some casefic either before or after the world gets let in on the Gargoyles Are A Thing phone tree, or holiday story of any stripe. I love the cultural differences between Angela and Goliath, and I ship Goliath/Elisa like burning. (Although I would really prefer Teen ratings and under for sex in this canon because I do not want to think about interspecies and nonhuman mechanics.) Consider the characters selected an "any combination of the above"; you don't have to include all of them, and if you have a stoke of inspiration for characters not on the list, go ahead and contact me through the mods; I might very well go "!!! YAY !!!". Canon: I consider the comics and Ask Greg secondary, supplemental canon. I've also not had the chance to read said comics, so I'd actually prefer if you stuck just to the cartoon (original run, not Goliath Chronicles) for your canon. Season 2 Part 2 has recently been released by Disney and is available legally on Amazon. |

| oosette | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Locke Lamora, Sabetha Belacoros, Jean Tannen, Calo Sanza | o the thing about this series is that it could alternately be titled "Scott Lynch rips out my heart and stomps on it and then puts it back where it goes." I requested Locke, Jean, Sabetha, & Calo, but Calo and Galdo are really a unit, and I nominated Father Chains and Nazca and Bug during nominations and I would not mind if they showed up as well. I'd love fix-it fic off the first book, or something set before the series, when the Gentleman Bastards are alive and well in Camorr, richer and cleverer than everybody else. I love the depth of loyalty and friendship among the Bastards, the hints we get about Sabetha when she's around, the intricacies of Locke's faith being an actual real thing (possibly one of the most honest things about him), the really epic bromance that Locke & Jean have going on. Also the cons, and how competent everyone is, and how everything in the first half of the first book is warm and comfortable and clever and fun. Canon: Book 3 - The Republic of Thieves - was released on October 9th. |
letter |
| Borusa | Mighty Good Road - Melissa Scott | Gwynne Heikki, Marshallin Santerese | There's an interesting class-dynamic in the book - as well as being from the more urban centre than the rural Heikki, Santerese appears to be of a higher class. Certainly the relative wariness and formality that Heikki displays towards her implies that (to me). How did they meet? Do others think that Santerese is "slumming it" in some way? How do their differing backgrounds affect their relationship? It's an area undeveloped in the book, sadly, and one I'd love to see explored. |
letter |
| Borusa | The Magicians - Lev Grossman | Alice (The Magicians), Julia (The Magicians) | Alice and Julia don't ever meet in the books, which I find interesting. Also, there aren't any sections with Alice as the point-of-view character. Does she secretly know what is going to happen to her? Does she fear it? Accept it? Is there a way that Alice and Julia could meet after the end of the Magician King? What does it mean to be a niffin? Or you could have them meet in one of the gaps in the books, perhaps in the period when the Brakebills are living in the city. I think they could find a lot to talk about, if they could find a way to talk. And it definitely doesn't have to be about Quentin (though I won't object if it is). |
letter |
| Borusa | Secretary (2002) | Lee Holloway, Edward Grey | It saddens me that there isn't more Secretary fan-fic. Yes, it does veer towards the "S/M people are broken" view, but it does so lovingly and fairly non-judgementally. I'd love to know what Lee and Edward's marriage is like. At the end of the film, there's a shot of her bratting (again), which is interesting. Have they found a way to talk more? Or do they still exist in a world of meaningful gestures and long silences (punctuated by the odd staccato sound)? |
letter |
| Borusa | Star Cops (TV) | As near as I can tell, there exists no fanfic for this show, which I think is an absolute tragedy. Really, I'd be happy with anything at all, any content whatsoever, but as that makes a rubbish prompt: Nathan Spring & Pal Kenzy - there is a troubled relationship there, and an interesting one. Does Pal see Nathan as some kind of father figure? A potential love interest? Will she try and play him again? Colin Devis & Pal - how long would she put up with his unreconstructed ways? What happens when she stops? If you're feeling ambitious - a mystery on the high frontier! With the Star Cops investigating! But really - optional details are optional. |

| otherd | Orphan Black (TV) | Alison Hendrix, Beth Childs | This ship is so messed up and so doomed and I LOVE IT SO. In my head, Alison is slightly in love with Beth in a way that's complicated and messy and something she doesn't really understand and *definitely* doesn't acknowledge, and I would love fic that explores their relationship, whether Beth reciprocates Alison's feelings or not. Alternatively, gen about them meeting for the first time and starting to deal with the clone thing would be great. | letter |
| otherd | Bomb Girls | Betty McRae, Kate Andrews | I would love you forever if you could give these two a happy ending. The end of the series ripped my heart out and I just desperately need something to happen that makes it all okay again. I would love to see the fallout of Betty taking the fall for the death of Kate's dad, but happier future fic would be great too. | letter |
| otherd | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary) | The evil genius criminal mastermind and the woman who solved her; what's not to love about this dynamic? I ship it hard and would adore femslash. Moriarty has done so many terrible things, especially to someone that Joan cares about deeply, so what would make Joan cross the line and start pursuing some kind of relationship with her? | letter |
| otherd | Orphan Black RPF | Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black RPF), Evelyne Brochu (Orphan Black RPF) | BEAUTIFUL TALENTED ACTRESSES WHO FANGIRL OVER EACH OTHER. SWOON. Shippy fic would make me flail and die, whether that's real-world backstage fic or AU. Preferably something light on angst, with UST and banter and FEELINGS. | letter |

| oundbyspells | Revenge (TV) | Nolan Ross, Emily Thorne | I love them as friends. I love them as lovers. I love them as It's Complicated. I'd read just about anything about them in any context, but I like the notion that some day they might chuck it all and buy an island in the Caribbean together, either the same or adjoining huts, depending. Or something to that effect. I JUST NEED THEM TO BE HAPPY TOGETHER. If that's happily with their separate partners or happily co-parenting the baby Emily randomly gets knocked up with during some crazy sort of revenge-based sex, I will read the crap out of that fic. I'd read the one where Nolan gets Emily to give up revenge. I'd read the one where Emily takes Nolan to revenge camp. I'd read the AU where they're in the Regency era, or the AU where revenge camp is literalized and they are actually teenagers at Revenge Camp and Nolan is the spy gadget/arts & crafts counselor. I would read them in a house, on a mouse... you get my point. | letter |
| oundbyspells | Go On (TV) | Anne (Go On), Ryan King, Lauren Bennett, Owen (Go On) | The future is their friendships. Just let me have a little more going on. Maybe at Anne's second wedding, where Ryan is her best man, or maybe at Ryan's second wedding... Please do not put Lauren and Ryan together, and definitely respect Anne's sexuality and tell me they'll ALL BE OKAY and FRIENDS FOREVER. | letter |
| oundbyspells | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | The one where Abbie and Ichabod have a couple days to breathe, and she catches him up on some key facts he missed about the future like oh, sure, the moon landing, but also maybe MASH or some great sitcom, and they discuss clothes and shoes and how much she misses August Corbin and how much he misses EVERYTHING. | letter |
| oundbyspells | 30 Rock | Criss Chros, Liz Lemon, Jack Donaghy, Grizz Griswold | A day in the life of Grizz & Hers plus a nod to all the crazy stuff that indicates their lives go on? | letter |
| oundbyspells | Parks and Recreation | Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson, Ann Perkins, Donna Meagle | I love everyone on the show, just everyone, and it doesn't have to be limited to the choices above. I'd love to see them just do something really random or unexpected for Donna in the Donna tradition--like she has them show up to her surprise wedding or something. OR just show them all being awesome to each other. | letter |

| BowlerHatGirl | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | I would love anything that shows the time between the end of the movie and the first episode of the show. Especially seeing how she deals with Coulson's "death". | letter |
| BowlerHatGirl | Arrested Development | Lindsay Bluth Funke, Michael Bluth | Man, these two. I just want a story that's about them, as siblings, as messed-up individuals, as lovers. I don't even care, as long as they are both in it :) | letter |
| BowlerHatGirl | Dawson's Creek | Jen Lindley, Pacey Witter | Would it be too much to ask for a happy ending? Because seriously, it's been like ten years and I am still not over the season finale. | letter |
| BowlerHatGirl | Swingtown | Trina Decker | Trina and motherhood. Before she has the baby, or when she already has it, or even if she decides not to have it. Just, her considering the issue. Or her relationship with Tom, and what happens beyond that summer. Or maybe a bit of her background. Really I'm all kinds of in love with the character | letter |
| oywonder | Chronicles of Riddick Series | Jack | Kyra (Riddick Series), Richard B. Riddick (Riddick Series) | I don't mind what you do with Jack's age in this, though I will state that I prefer her as Jack and not as Kyra*. (If you wanted to AU you it to take her back to being Jack I'm fine with that too?) I'd really like to see Jack through Riddick's eyes, though. A lot of the things we see in ALL the films are sort of through Riddick's eyes, and I just would love to see more of that! For the record I do ship this pretty hardcore (and it could be as violent as you wanted, though I don't think Riddick would permanently damage her). If you don't, that's totally fine as well. *Please see author letter for more thoughts! |
letter |
| oywonder | No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | Nezumi (No. 6), Shion (No. 6) | I'm interested in anything that happens in the interim, during the scenes we DON'T see in the show. There's a lot going on between these two characters, and obviously Nezumi is lying when he says that Shion doesn't matter or that he doesn't care. Nezumi's obsession with Shion is pretty obvious. Also Nezumi is pretty quick to say things indicating that their relationship could be physical, or maybe should be. So you know, porn with Nezumi being a control freak is excellent by me. I don't have a good prompt for this at the moment, man, I'm sorry but please check my author letter and I'll actually provide more thoughts to use! |
letter |
| oywonder | Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time | Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time), Link (Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time) | UH I shamelessly ship this in a really messed up non-con sort of way and I realize that's not everyone's thing. SO if that is not your thing just write me literally anything Ganon and I will be totally down with it. If it IS your thing, I'll have details up in my author letter? :D;; | letter |
| oywonder | Tales Of Graces | Malik Caesar, Hubert Oswell | I really love the way Hubert's attitude toward Malik changes from one of suspicion and kind of contempt to one of respect and maybe admiration or affection. I love these two together, romantically, in bed, or even platonically. They both end up as political ambassadors so they get a chance to spend time together that we don't see in the gameplay proper so I'd love to see how they'd be different away from the group and the whole SAVE THE WORLD AND MAYBE HAVE TO KILL RICHARD thing. Additionally, even if you don't ship this, please note that I do not ship Hubert/Pascal in any way so I would really not like to see it in the fic. I'm fine if Pascal or any other character is around, but I can't stand Hubert/Pascal (and I can't stand Asbel/Cheria either) so please just keep that out. Thank you! |
letter |
| oywonder | Kushiel's Legacy - Jacqueline Carey | Melisande Shahrizai, Phedre no Delaunay, Lucius Tadius, Imriel de la Courcel | First of all, I would like to say that Lucius is my second favorite character in the entire series (Alcuin being my first) and I think he's sorely underappreciated — by fandom and probably by Imriel. I think that Imri and Lucius could have a really interesting relationship in pretty much every way possible. I actually never came around to liking Sidonie (so please don't write fic with her in it if you can avoid it) and I like Imriel with Lucius. Obviously Imriel has a lot of trauma to work though, but don't they both? Working through that — whether gracefully or ungracefully — is what I'd really like to see. Imriel realizing that his desire to hurt someone might be okay is always a huge thing of mine. Reluctantly dominant Imri is the best. Second! The other characters I requested here. This is the kind of pairing I normally request when I just want shameless porn. And honestly I love that so if that's what you do that's okay, but I'd actually like something that is emotionally manipulative and not just physically sadistic. That's Melisande's game anyway, isn't it? Alternately, this is something where I'd be willing to read an AU. In the third book, Phedre sees different outcomes, one of which is where she just becomes Melisande and Benedicte's play thing. That's an interesting idea. Mostly whatever it takes to bring these two together in a way the canon doesn't present works for me! |
letter |
| oywonder | BioShock Infinite | Elizabeth (BioShock), Robert Lutece, Rosalind Lutece | You could probably write the Luteces having a pillow fight and I'd be full of glee, but my specific idea is to see how it was in the beginning — communicating across the worlds as a start, and then what it was like once they were together (after Rosalind nursed Robert back into being a person). Or how they are now. They're obviously attached, though Robert does threaten to leave if Rosalind won't help him make things right. An actual development of their relationship in any aspect would be fine. For the Luteces I'm not really interested in the AU version. They're kind of above and beyond that to me anyway? Though if they visit some other timeline I'm cool with it. For Elizabeth, it would be interesting to see the parallel Elizabeths who came to the same final conclusion — that there was always a point that they had to take Booker back to to change the future, to save New York. That said, I have a LOT of issue with some of the dimensional travel stuff in the game but overall I enjoy it. Seeing one Elizabeth juxtaposed on another would be fabulous. ALTERNATELY even if it's wrong I really really like her shipped with Booker so anything in that vein — maybe the one where they get to Paris, or the one where they almost got to Paris, or the one where she met Booker only after he'd joined up with Daisy or really anything — would be great. |

| rampersandon | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman, Mike Ehrmantraut | jesse and mike are my favorite characters on breaking bad, and their relationship was one of my favorite things about the show. i would absolutely love love love a fic exploring their strange friendship! i prefer it not to be shippy/smutty. aus that diverge from canon are totally cool with me, sticking closer to the events of canon is awesome too!! really anything mike and jesse would make my entire year. seriously. i wish i was joking. breaking bad took over my life over the past couple years. it's very sad. | |
| rampersandon | Dorm Life | dear reader: YOU'VE SEEN DORM LIFE TOO?? WE SHOULD BE FRIENDS. isn't it the best? it finished up during my freshman year of college, so it's always been near and dear to my heart. the dearth of fics has always been such a bummer to me. i would love anything dorm life related!! a gen study of 5-south and the relationships and dynamics in it, a character or relationship focus (anyone, seriously, i love every character so much) that tickles your fancy, what happens in sophomore year, anything. anything ever. the world needs more dorm life fic. <3 | ||
| rampersandon | Dead Poets Society (1989) | Charlie Dalton, Neil Perry, Knox Overstreet | dead poets society is my favorite movie of all time ever. true story -- i saw it in my sixth grade english class (like most people, i'm pretty sure) and proceeded to beg for it for christmas. i wore my first vhs of it out until it broke. when dvds came into being, i wore my first dvd of it out until it was too worn and scratched to play anymore. charlie tops the list of my favorite fictional characters of all time ever. i would adore anything with him in it -- a character study, his relationships with the rest of the boys, conversations he may have had with keating, his life post-series, seriously anything. and in case you are of the shipping mind, neil/charlie and charlie/knox are two of my favorite pairings. (OR ALL THREE?? i have personally never seen that but i would love it) but seriously, anything dps would make my year. tie poetry into it and it'll make my decade. TRUE LIFE: I AM TWENTY-THREE YEARS OLD AND STILL IN LOVE WITH A MOVIE I SAW AT AGE ELEVEN | |
| rampersandon | Dead Like Me | god, i miss this show. don't you? it remains one of my all time favorites. i would seriously love anything dlm-related! the strange, mishmash family dynamic of the reapers is amazing and exploring that in fic would be lovely. or a study of a character or relationship that tickles your fancy (seriously, any of them, i love all the characters so much), or a take on what happens post-series, or seriously anything. <3 | ||
| rampersandon | 30 Rock | WHAT HAPPENS TO THE GANG AFTER THEIR LAST LUNCH?????? or anything. anything at all. i miss this show so much it hurts. | ||
| rampersandon | Parks and Recreation | the whole gang goes on a road trip. in a bus. 70s style. it was leslie's idea. no i don't know LITERALLY ANYTHING i have a special fondness for exploring the platonic relationships in the show (ron and april, ron and andy, leslie and april, chris and ben, ron and ann, tom and donna being the best friends in the world, etc.) but i am not picky whatsoever when it comes to the happiest show on tv | ||

| reeanna | Husbands (Web Series) | Brady Kelly, Cheeks (Husbands) | Okay, so I really like this adorable little webseries about two guys who wake up married in Vegas. Have fun with this. Play with other tropes with these two. Snowed in. Stranded somewhere. Find a trope and play with it. Haley's fun too, so if she shows up, that would be fun. | letter |

| reeanna | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf RPF), Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf RPF) | I ship it. Maybe because seeing how they interact makes it easier to ship Stiles/Derek, if that's at all possible? I don't know. Some behind-the-scenes hijinks at the Teen Wolf set. Avoid fandom in-jokes if possible. I'm not really involved with the larger Teen Wolf fandom and probably won't get them, and it'll just leave me confused. | letter |

| Brigdh | Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly | Benjamin January, Rose Vitrac January, Hannibal Sefton | AHHHH BENJAMIN JANUARY LOVE LOVE LOVE. What I love most here is the trio of Ben/Rose/Hannibal, or any combination of two of the three, and I am equally happy to have you write them as platonic or romantic. I would be completely happy to read domestic fluff involving the three of them cooking and playing music and making dumb Latin jokes and critiquing opera. Case-fic and mysteries and adventures would also be great! I'm also convinced the three of them fighting the zombie apocalypse (brain-eating zombies, not voodoo zombies) would be an amazing fic. If you do want to write sex with them: yay! I see them as mooostly vanilla, but would love a pegging fic. I have also become convinced that Hannibal is into breathplay. You could probably talk me into other kinks if you tried. Or vanilla! Vanilla is good. Some other prompts: how did Hannibal and Rose's first meeting go? How about Hannibal teaching Rose to pick locks (and/or the two of them attempting to teach Ben!). What did Rose and Hannibal get up to while Ben was in DC during 'Good Man Friday'? The world needs Ben/Hannibal huddling-for-warmth fic set during 'The Shirt on His Back'. Also furtive Ben/Hannibal make-outs in the backroom of some opera/ball/private party. Are there backstories to the nicknames Hannibal uses for them, Athene and amicus meus? Outside of my OT3, Rose-backstory about her time at school in New York would be AMAZING. I would also love a story about Hannibal and Minou hanging out and being flirtatious gossiping BFFs. I love so much of the world-building and so many of the minor characters (Marie Laveau! The Mayerlings! Ayasha! Chloe!) that you really could write about anything in this fandom and I would love it. I have a tag for this fandom, if you'd like to see some other things I've written about it: http://wordsofastory.livejournal.com/tag/ben%20january |

| Brigdh | Titus Andronicus - Shakespeare | Aaron (Titus Andronicus) | You have signed up to write Shakespeare! YOU ARE SO IMPRESSIVE, YULETIDE SANTA! Basically, I love Aaron. I love his anger, I love his arrogance (that swagger! ♥ He basically drops a 'yo mamma' joke, how amazing is that?), I love his relationship with Tamora, and I love how he sacrifices everything he has to try and save his son and yet still refuses to admit wrong-doing: "If one good deed in all my life I did, / I do repent it from my very soul." AH LOVE. He is a complicated, stubborn, self-centered villain, and I adore him. A story elaborating on any of this, or giving him more backstory (or a future!) would be so fantastic. |
letter |
| Brigdh | Swordspoint Series - Ellen Kushner | Alec Campion, Richard St Vier | I LOVE SWORDSPOINT SO MUCH OMG. Which is a loud way of saying, if this is the fandom we were matched on, you already have made me so happy! This fandom is like my id, seriously. Some things I love in particular are: the madness and dangerousness of both Richard and Alec; the careful compromise of their relationship; the disintegrating, violent Riverside; the politics of it all; and the way everything is always taking place just below the surface, and nothing is ever quite obvious. I adore Kushner's writing style, the way she almost never directly states what anyone is feeling or meaning, but rather hints at it through body language and misdirection. Richard/Alec is the big pairing for me here, but I am also open to stories about either guy individually, or about either of them in another relationship. Some suggestions: Richard/Jessamyn, Alec/another student from the University. I'd love to read about a threesome with these two and someone else. I'm also really interested in the fact that Alec is sleeping around a lot in TPotS; how does Richard feel about that? Does Richard ever sleep with someone else, and if so, how does Alec react? Would it be different if Alec had slept around earlier in the relationship? Do they even think of it as 'cheating', and if not, what would they define as 'cheating'? I particularly love stories set early in Alec and Richard's life, during the time they're still living in Riverside. At one point Richard mentions that he's been a highwayman; I WOULD LOVE A STORY ABOUT THAT YESSS. Either in his youth, or if for some reason he decides to go back to it after knowing Alec (or with Alec? So awesome!). However, I also love stories about Richard and Alec scandalizing high society after Alec becomes the Duke. Some other suggestions: something exploring daily life in Riverside, what the dangerous part of the city is *really* like to its inhabitants. Richard and Alec's first meeting stories are always interesting (I know there is now an official version! I still love other tellings, or a story weaving around "The Duke of Riverside"). Porn will be deeply appreciated, although is not required. Something that explores kink between these two would be very neat (bloodplay/knifeplay, yes. D/s stuff, yes). Basically, if the story involves Alec and/or Richard, you will have given me a happy Yuletide. I have a tag for this fandom, if you'd like to see some other things I've written about it: http://wordsofastory.livejournal.com/tag/swordspoint |

| Brigdh | Gentlemen of the Road - Michael Chabon | Zelikman (Gentlemen of the Road), Amram (Gentlemen of the Road) | GOD, HOW AMAZING IS THIS BOOK? I am in absolute love with its lush purple prose, and if you are capable of writing in that style, I will love you forever (if you're not, don't worry about it; I couldn't do it either). I love the relationship between Zelikman and Amram, and if you wanted to add sex to that, I would definitely not be opposed. A story about how they work around to that would be wonderful. I will be just as happy with platonic friendship fic, though! I would love a story about another adventure of theirs on the road, particularly if it involved being conmen or thieves or general underhanded-ness. I love sneaky plots and twists. I do love a lot of the more silly elements of the book- hats and grumpy horses and impolite parrots- and I adore the snarky banter between Zelikman and Amram. That said, something dealing with the more serious elements would also be very welcome. |
letter |
| Brigdh | Django Unchained (2012) | Broomhilda Von Shaft, Django Freeman, King Schultz | I never thought I would like this movie as much as I do! I put off seeing it for ages, but now I LOVE IT. I love Django learning to be a hero, I love snarky, unlikely Schultz, and I love Broomhilda managing to keep up with the two of them. I would love more back-story on Broomhilda; we don't really get to see too much of her in the movie, and I'd really, really like for you to flesh it out some more. A story about the Django/Broomhilda relationship either pre- or post-movie would also be great. I'd love to hear about how they got together or what their early lives were like. I'd also love to see where they go and what they do after the movie, and I'd especially like it if Broomhilda got to be a hero in her own right. Does she join up with Django in the bounty-hunting business? Or do they do something else? I also have a great fondness for the OT3 of Django/Broomhilda/Schultz, though the movie makes that difficult. Uh, feel free to fudge the ending of the movie. Or take things AU! |
letter |
| rightaspiring | Being Human (US/Canada) | Suren, Nora Sergeant, Sally Malik, Kat Neely | I'm requesting all of the nominated women, but please don't feel like you need to include all of them! I'll happily take fic about any one of them, or any combination of them. Go with whatever you feel inspired to write, as long as least one of them is in there. Backstory, hanging out together, dealing with a crisis (supernatural or otherwise)...I'm flexible! I'll gladly take either gen or fic focusing on any of the canon pairings (e.g., Suren/Henry, Suren/Aidan, SallyMax, Nora/Josh, Kat/Aidan). I love the guys too, so feel free to include them as much as you'd like. |
letter |
| rightaspiring | Earth: Final Conflict | Liam Kincaid, Ronald Sandoval | One of my favourite never-addressed storylines on EFC was the fact that Liam was Sandoval's son, and Sandoval never knew, and I would love to see something that deals with that. Sandoval determined to find the son he never knew he had. Sandoval's reaction when he realizes who Liam is. Sandoval (and Siobhan?) trying to protect Liam after realizing he's their son. Sandoval finding out and not caring or actively rejecting Liam. Or what it is like from Liam's side? How does he feel about his father? Does he want to connect, or does he not really care? Alternately, something exploring Liam's place as a alien-human hybrid and what that means for his life would be awesome. How does it feel to have had no real childhood? What's it like to be trying to save a race that you don't entirely belong to? What keeps him going? |
letter |
| rightaspiring | Flashpoint | Mike "Spike" Scarlatti, Sam Braddock | I kind of want to see Sam and Spike being awesome together, either on or off the job. Maybe they're stuck together in a dangerous situation. Maybe one is helping the other with a personal problem. Maybe one of them runs into someone from their past and needs some discreet help. Maybe they exchange advice. Maybe they're commiserating after a bad day. Maybe the two families get together for a holiday post-series. Whatever. Gen is absolutely fine. If you're looking to include a more romantic angle, I like all the canon pairings, and I'd also be interested in seeing what might have happened if things had worked out for Spike and Natalie. Alternately, an AU where Sam went after Spike instead of Jules when he first joined the team might be fun. Would Spike's initial reaction have been the same as Jules, or would he have done things differently? |
letter |
| rightaspiring | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | I'd love a story about Crane set in pretty much any time period. Something about his life in England, or meeting Katrina, or joining the Revolution would be great. So would case fic, or Crane trying to free Katrina, or figure out Irving, or tracking down the good coven of witches, or reading up on history, or making friends other than the Mills sisters, or finding a way to shut down Luke's suspicions. Explore the world a little more is good. Fish-out-of-water elements are fun. I'm not really into Abbie/Ichabod as a ship, but I love them hugely as BFFs and I don't mind a little UST on the side. Alternately, if Ichabod Crane isn't inspiring you, I'd love a story about Andy Brooks. Backstory would be great, or maybe a story where he gets a shot at redemption. |
letter |
| rightbottle | Brick (2005) | I will take anything about this movie! Post-canon, during canon, AU, (...pre-canon?), you name it, I want to read it. Same goes for the characters: I will read anything about any one or any combination of them. To be a little less frustratingly vague, here are some dynamics I'd love to read about: Kara and Laura, post-canon, being completely average teen girls who also happen to be criminal masterminds; Kara and The Brain commiserating and/or joining forces; Laura getting some sort of revenge on Brendan for (completely rightfully) turning her in; any of the characters other than Brendan reacting to Emily's death. | letter | |
| rightbottle | Moonrise Kingdom (2012) | Suzy Bishop | I would love to read about what happens to Suzy after the events of the movie. I don't care if it's immediately after or ten years after, I just want to know what happens to her. I really want to see her growing up to be a real badass young lady - the movie shows that she's definitely got real badass potential. I'd love to see the other characters from the movie involved too! (I'd prefer, if you choose to include Sam, that they have a platonic relationship in the story - references to them running away/getting married in the movie would be fine, though!) | letter |
| rightbottle | The Good Wife (TV) | Alicia Florrick | he's so enigmatic on the show, so I want to know more about what goes on in Alicia's mind, regarding just about everything and everyone. I would love to read about Alicia's relationships with Kalinda, Cary, and/or Diane, but all the supporting characters are so great it'd be awesome to see any of them included. Casefic would be great too, but don't worry about focusing on the legal details. | letter |
| rightbottle | Haven | Audrey Parker, Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos | These three are definitely my OT3. I'd love to read about their relationship in any capacity - the three of them getting together or established fic - but just a gen Trouble-of-the-week fic would be great too! No matter what direction you go, it'd be great if it included references to Nathan and Duke's respective troubles. | letter |

See letter for more thoughts, if you'd like them! | letter |
| roadcastdelay | Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV) | Jake Peralta, Ray Holt | I love the dynamic these two have, the contrast between the Captain's dry humor and Jake's over-the-top-ness. Any fic that showcases that, whether it's case fic, workplace shenanigans, undercover hijinks, etc., would be wonderful. More details in my letter, if you'd like them. | letter |
| roadcastdelay | How to Steal a Million (1966) | Nicole Bonnet, Simon Dermott | I love this movie, and this couple, from meet-cute to identity reveal and beyond. I'd really like a fic in which they remain a happy couple, but beyond that it's up to you. More art fraud investigation adventures? Fluffy curtain fic? Screwball comedy as they navigate their relationship? Any and all would be lovely. See my letter for more details, if you'd like them. | letter |
| roadcastdelay | Mrs. Pollifax - Dorothy Gilman | I'd love fic about any of the nominated characters, all of whom I adore! If you want to write about Sandor--maybe something about his backstory, or about his thoughts throughout his undercover work, or post-book fic in which he and Mrs. Pollifax get teamed up on some international joint mission? If you want to write about Robin--maybe backstory in the form of heist!fic, or a story about he and Court's relationship, or some missing scene within the story that focuses on Robin's POV? If you want to write about Bishop--maybe action/adventure where he ends up out in the field, maybe fluff where he gets cooking lessons from Mrs. Pollifax, maybe origin story of how he came to the CIA, or how he came to work with Carstairs? If you want to combine some or all of them, or throw in any other characters, please feel free! And if you'd like some more details, please see my letter. |

| roadcastdelay | A Nun in the Closet - Dorothy Gilman | I'd love fic about any of the nominated characters, all of whom I adore! Sister John, advocating for the downtrodden (and possibly adding to her record of civil disobedience), or perhaps further in the future as the mansion conversion is underway? Anything highlighting her love of people, her love of life, and her gung-ho attitude. Sister Ursula grumpily coming to terms with his disguise--or missing it, once everything's wrapped up? Or backstory about his time as accountant-to-the-mob? Quigley, sorting through trash and wondering about his life choices; or saving the day; or post-saving the day--where does he go (if anywhere)? If you'd like some more details, please see my letter, but definitely know that I'll be delighted to get whatever you decide to write, especially if it ends happily for all involved! |

| rodeurbunny30 | Rush (2013) | Niki Lauda (Rush), James Hunt (Rush) | I cannot begin to explain just how addicted and enamored I am with this movie. I literally cannot even handle the close hate/love relationship that is portrayed between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. It is perfect. I love slash. I would LOVE a slash fic that showcases their opposing personalities and the bond they share. I'd love angst/hatesex/established relationship/cuddling or whatever. I need them to need each other even though they may not understand it. I'd love to see James getting under Niki's skin and figuring out a way to get Niki to show his passionate side. I think it'd be cool to do a perspective fic that explores the pre and post reactions to major wins/losses or whatever. i love how these two guys interact. I am more in love with the film version of these men, i'm definitely a movieverse kinda gal with an obsession with chris hemsworth but i'm especially taken with daniel bruhl's hardworking portrayal of niki lauda. i'm a german fanatic and if you include german phrases and lingo in the fic i will adore you. i'd be more than happy to read some niki/james PWP on christmas, but if you provide me a fic with established relationship cuddling and kissing, or anything... i will love you forever since there are SOOOOOO few fics with these two. i love AUs normally, but i love the racing aspect so i'd prefer the setting to stay in the racing world (although if you wanted to do a modern version with modern tracks, that's cool.... so long as the personality dynamic is there) basically. give me a romantic (or hatesexy) james/niki fic (PG to NC17, PWP or sexy fluff--whatever just make them touch each other lots or fantasize about each other oh god... anything. just NO GEN. I WANT THEM TO HAVE SOME SERIOUSLY COMPLICATED FEELS FOR EACH OTHER) (i love both men so whichever you choose to focus on is fine by me) i will love you forever and beyond. i should also mention that if you write post-accident sexytimes that's okay too so long as james is extra careful and caring and kisses the hell out of niki while trying to make it up to him omg i want this bad. *sobs and throws self off cliff* |

| rodeurbunny30 | 2 Broke Girls | Caroline Channing, Andy (2 Broke Girls) | I dearly love Andy and Caroline together. I would love a fic where they share some tender moments where Caroline is genuinely happy. I think it would be awesome if Max and the rest of the crew make minor appearances, but only if it works with the author's vision I think a future!fic would be awesome with these two. I want them together, even if it's years later and after a lot of hard years for the cupcake business. I just want Caroline to be happy with Candy Andy. I love all ratings (goddamn i love the smexy times) but you don't have to write sex if it doesn't suit you, so long as the story has their romance as the main focus. |
letter |
| rodeurbunny30 | Pan Am | Kate Cameron, Niko Lonza | I need a fix it fic. I need for Kate to have a happy ending with Niko somehow. It could be AU, it could be future!fic... i dunno, i just want them to have a happy ending somehow I'd like a romantic fic though (NO GEN please) i want them to love each other in one way or another. Any rating :) please no death!fic |
letter |
| rodeurbunny30 | Shipping Wars (TV) | Jarrett Joyce | This is my ridiculous request for the season. I desperately love this silly show. I love Jarrett and his stupidity and his screw ups (not to mention just how foxy he is). I'd love to read some really crazy humour on the road, or a Five Times fic where Jarrett had to do things that he's not proud of just to get a job done and not be stranded on the road. You could have him doing favours for other drivers and it could be hijinks on the road. all ratings (i prefer slash, i think hatesex between Jarrett and Roy would be AWESOME...but anything would be good. Any pairing with anyone on the show would be great.) but gen would be good too if you involved some of the cast (or camera guys even) i'm basically leaving it up to you dear author! :D i would just love a jarrett being jarrett fic! |
letter |
| rodeurbunny30 | Vikings (TV) | Ragnar Lothbrok, Lagertha (Vikings), Athelstan (Vikings) | dear author, if you match with me on vikings, let me just say that i love you for loving this show. it's amazing. i LOVE the undying love and respect between lagertha and ragnar. I'm desperate for a fic where they simultaneously challenge each other and show each other how much they care (see smexy times) and normally i'd be satisfied with that, but then there's this hot virginal monk named athelstan who's on the show and well... i tried to focus on lagertha and ragnar but i can't do it without including their manservant/slave/babysitter/friend/lover athelstan if you're into it.. oh god, i'd love hot D/s sexy times threesome with Lagertha taking the lead in bed with both men. But i don't care what direction you choose, I'd love to see some downtime with these three. maybe lagertha and ragnar make athelstan watch them fucking, maybe lagertha wants to watch ragnar with athelstan, maybe ragnar wants althestan and lagertha together maybe it's an omegaverse au. maybe it's a modern!au maybe it's something else. i'm welcome to creativity but if you could AVOID GEN and really play up the palpable UST between these three super hot characters i would love you forever. even a domestic fic where they flirt non stop and tease athelstan, yes, yes that would do nicely. pretty much open to all ratings (PG-NC17) but NO GEN PLEASE and no death!fic and i'd like romance/UST/established relationship/love/infatuation to be the focus of the fic |

| rutti_ma_buoni | Hilary Tamar Mysteries - Sarah Caudwell | I met these novels via Yuletide, and I love them. I'd like anything about another case, or about everyday legal life or relationships, or 'how we met' or... well, anything. My only squick with this is, if you have a view on Hilary's gender, please try to keep the character gender neutral in your fill. I love the mystery/neutrality of having someone who doesn't feel a need to state where they are in binary gender terms. |

| rflymind | Miss Marple - Agatha Christie | Jane Marple | I've always quite wanted to see Miss Marple solving the little mysteries she talks about in the books, the gill of pickled shrimps for example, as part of the fabric of St Mary Mead. Essentially I'd like anything that expands on the village and Miss Marple in it. Alternatively, I've always wondered what happens to some of the characters at the end of 'The Moving Finger' particularly Jerry and Megan and Joanna and Owen, so I wouldn't mind a return of Miss Marple to Lymstock, particularly as in the the original story, she really only appears to swoop in and solve the crime. | letter |
| rflymind | Jam and Jerusalem | Yasmeen Vine | Yasmeen is a really interesting character, and I'd like to know how she ended up in the position she's in during the series, so a backstory for her would be lovely. Alternatively, I'm always happy to spend some time in the Jam and Jerusalem world, so any sort of ensemble piece, similar to the tone of the show, would be great. | letter |
| rflymind | Jonathan Creek (TV) | Maddy Magellan, Jonathan Creek | I love these two characters and the way they interact, the fondness mixed in with a great deal of bickering and one-upmanship, and it's always felt like a very realistic human relationship in a show that stretched disbelief in most other directions. Therefore I'd love some interaction, as either friends or lovers, during a mystery. I don't mind if it is before Maddy leaves for America, or if she has returned, and I'm not expecting a whole mystery plot, I'm more interested in the character interactions. | letter |
| rflymind | The Box of Delights (1984) | Cole Hawlings (Box of Delights) | We know how he came into possession of the box of delights, but what did he do with it in all that time? And what are the real differences between the old magic and the new magic? Why does he do his punch and judy shows? What links him, and the old woman, and the others who know about the wolves? I'd take answers to all and any of these questions, or any you might have about Cole Hawlings, his past, and magic in the box of delights universe. | letter |

| zantienne | The Sparrow - Mary Doria Russell | I'm open to nearly anything in this fandom, as long as it is within the tone of the canon; if what inspires you isn't one of the ideas I've listen below, go with something else! 1. Hlavin Kitheri and his new Jana'ata society. In some ways this was my favorite part of 'Children of God', and the inevitable disintegration of it under pressure from the newly agriculture-capable Runa is a kind of perverse tragedy; the destruction of an artistic, complex, evolving and possibly-progressive culture which is also founded on a sort of original sin: the consumption of sentients. I'd love to see more exploration of what the Jana'ata could have become; or more exploration of how they had to be destroyed. 2. Emilio and language. I'd love if this was happy fic (I know, I know, from this canon?) but something about learning and teaching languages would be amazing, no matter when it was set. 3. Sofia's early life. Sofia's connection with Judaism. (... an AU where Sofia and Emilio get together? Exploring what that'd do to Emilio's faith/what happened on Rakhat?) |
||
| zantienne | Hadestown (Musical) | Persephone (Hadestown), Hades (Hadestown) | I'd love to see a consideration of how ... accurate... Orpheus' portrayal of Hades/Persephone in 'Epic (II) is, especially in the light of both 'Our Lady of the Underground' and 'How Long?' | |
| zantienne | Burning Bright - Melissa Scott | Illario Ransome | Absolutely anything about Ransome. His construction of the Grand Types? How he started doing art? His relationship to Chauvelin? How he feels about the Hsia? Something really cool would be Ransome's version of Quinn's game, if that had ever happened... |
|
| zantienne | Tigana - Guy Gavriel Kay | Brandin of Ygrath | What I'd like best of all things would be a story where Brandin and Dianora end differently: but the differently-how is up to you. I think I'm interested most in how Dianora deals with the consequences of her actions, so I'd love to see a story where she and Brandin ... win. And that's not a joyful thing, but there's joy in it. Alternately, I'd like a story about Brandin and Rhun, and mirroring, and kingship, and doing truly irrevocable actions. The whole concept of Fools in Ygrath is interesting to me. |

| cafecliche | ParaNorman (2012) | Norman Babcock | I am a sucker for kids who see things that no one else can see, so I would absolutely love a story further exploring Norman's world, especially after the events of the movie. He's balancing real, human relationships with the spirit world for the first time, so how does that work out for him? How does the town react to him now? No crossovers, please! |
letter |
| cafecliche | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills | I just want Abbie gallantly rescuing damsel-in-distress Ichabod from one of the many evils that plagues Sleepy Hollow. My soul craves it. Bonus points for Ichabod's patented ridiculousness with regards to modern times. Bonus bonus points for shippy things. Triple bonus points for Ichabod kissing Abbie's hand, because eee. |
letter |
| cafecliche | The Conjuring (2013) | Lorraine Warren (The Conjuring), Ed Warren (The Conjuring) | Casefic would be amazing, whether as a vignette or a narrative. The Yuletide season is an excellent time for ghost stories. Granted, so is every other time of year, but there's something very eerie about a quiet, winter-y night... I'd just love the same balance of 'terrifying' and 'weirdly romantic' that the movie hit. Also, if you are moved to throw Drew in there somewhere, please feel free, because Drew is awesome. |
letter |
| cafecliche | The Monstrumologist series - Rick Yancey | Will Henry, Pellinore Warthrop | I am in love with these books, and I love Will Henry the most. I'm an assistant myself, so I feel his pain, but mostly I love his complexity and layers and flaws. I love that he serves different roles with different people, and I'm especially interested in his messily codependent relationship with Pellinore. Sometimes they're good for each other and sometimes they're very much not, but either way, I find it all weirdly heartwarming. And basically The Final Descent broke my heart, so something set around the time of the first two books would be perfect. |
letter |
| cafecliche | Mushishi | Ginko (Mushishi), Adashino (Mushishi) | I love fic in which Ginko fumbles his way through human interaction. And I particularly love when Adashino is that human. Barring that, I would love something with a beautiful, creepy original mushi. | letter |
| cafecliche | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | Natsume Takashi, Natori Shuuichi | As Natsume and Natori grow closer in canon, Natori seems less and less willing to let Natsume get involved in the spirit world, to the point where he seems to be becoming a well-intentioned antagonist as he learns more about the Book of Friends. I would love something exploring that dynamic. Can be shippy if you like, but I generally see them as a platonic pair. |
letter |
| CaitN | Graceland (TV) | I would love to see them celebrating a holiday together, or maybe a backstory on one of the characters before they came to live at Graceland. | letter | |
| CaitN | Flashpoint | Anything in this fandom would be greatly appreciated! If you want to write something with sex in, that's fine, just no m/m please. | letter | |
| CaitN | Elementary (TV) | omething with them celebrating the holidays would be nice. What if Mycroft came to visit them in New York? Or either something of Sherlock's life before he became an addict. | letter | |
| CaitN | Perception (TV) | You can do something with Daniel and Lewicki celebrating the holidays . Or how Daniel came to consult for the FBI in the first place. I will be happy with anything! | letter | |
| caitthecursed | Maurice - E. M. Forster | Maurice Hall, Alec Scudder | This is one of those books where I needed more than the last chapter provided. Maurice and Alec have accepted social exile to be together, which in Maurice's case means a departure from a very cushy existence. What now? Where do they go, what do they do, is the trade-off really worth it? (for the purposes of Yuletide, I'd prefer the answer be yes, even if it's a complicated yes.) I'd love to see them romping around the world, maybe dabbling in artistic movements and embracing the freedom that their exile provides. It could be cool to see them in Greece, as a sort of parallel to Clive's trip. I'd love something that explored just how different their backgrounds are, as long as it doesn't dissolve into Classism 101. Also, FEEL FREE to just ignore WWI in the name of fictional fun times. | letter |
| caitthecursed | The Iliad - Homer | Patroklos (Iliad), Achilles (Iliad), Briseis (Iliad) | I picked these three on the off chance of getting some OT3 stuff, but I'd be just as happy with friendship fic, romance between just two of them (Briseis' lament for Patroklos in book 19 gets me every time), or any combination thereof. I'm interested in the weird balance of power between the three of them--what is it about those two that unravels Achilles so easily? What does he get from them that he doesn't get elsewhere? How do Briseis and Patroklos relate when Achilles isn't there? Is there another world where they got a happy ending, or is the happiness they find in the present enough? My overwhelming love for Achilles is rivaled only by my burning hatred of the guy, so if you can evoke both, I'll love you forever. If you feel the need to address the inherent consent issues, I'd prefer dub-con over non-con, although neither is a trigger. | letter |
| caitthecursed | The Odyssey - Homer | Odysseus (Odyssey), Penelope (The Odyssey) | Basically, I just want the two of them being stupid crazy in love with each other. I'm particularly interested in their life before Troy--since their marriage was almost definitely arranged, when/how did they fall in love? What was Penelope's sexual awakening like? Was Odysseus young and awkward? When did Penelope's trickster nature begin to assert itself? What kind of terrible mischief did they get up to? I suspect they had the best sex life in the Bronze Age, if you want to go the smutty route. | letter |
| caitthecursed | Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater | Characters: Any I've been craving poly with this fandom, but I'll take the boys + Blue in any configuration you can throw at me. Ronan/Gansey power struggles? Blue likes to watch the boys kiss? Love triangles solved with threesomes? Adam and Ronan team up to take care of Gansey? All five of them piled into Gansey's huge bed? Outside POV from the aunts? Gen takes on any of these would be cool too, as would smutty/kinky ones (the amount of power struggles would make D/s really interesting--I'm partial to sub Ronan and dom Gansey, but good characterization can sell me on anything). Another thing I'd love is some good Ronan whump. Boy is a hot mess, and I'd love something that explored his twisted psyche and self-destructive tendencies. I'd prefer no noncon, but sadomasochistic hatefucking with Kavinsky would be nice (especially if Gansey or Adam is there to pick up the pieces). Head games (slashy or not) would be great if you don't want to get explicit. H/c in general would be lovely, although I'd prefer a story that keeps Ronan's awfulness in mind. See letter for more spoilery Dream Thieves prompts. |

| calliopes_pen | Fright Night (1985) | Peter Vincent, Charley Brewster, Amy Peterson, Jerry Dandrige | I've developed a certain fondness for this movie, and would just love to see any interaction with other entities of the supernatural. If you don't feel like writing the above prompt, I have a few other ideas that I'll just toss out there. What if Jerry Dandrige was resurrected, shortly after the events of the first film? How would Peter Vincent deal with this knowledge? Would he try to hide it from Amy and Charlie out of fear, or would he tell them the truth while watching for signs of them turning? How would Amy deal with the fallout of this? Another: During the events of the first movie, Peter Vincent is the one who gets bitten, rather than Ed. How are things different? | letter |

| calliopes_pen | Dark Shadows (1991) | Maggie Evans (Dark Shadows (1991)), Angelique Bouchard Collins (Dark Shadows (1991)), Victoria Winters (Dark Shadows (1991)), Barnabas Collins (Dark Shadows (1991)) | At the end of the 1991 series, Maggie was still possessed by Angelique and Victoria knew Barnabas was a vampire. How would everyone deal with Angelique? Would Victoria shelve the revelation for now, or make everyone deal with it right then, at the height of the emotion? Make the outcome of Angelique as scary as you wish, hopping from body to body, or whatever you so desire. Since Quentin was slated to appear in season 2 before the show was cancelled, would his ghost have played a role in her defeat? | letter |
| calliopes_pen | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Headless Horseman, Captain Frank Irving | Ichabod Crane discovers the festivities of Halloween for the first time, and the dark sense of humor surrounding the holiday. How hard is it to track a demon or know if the Headless Horseman is due to slaughter another soul, when so many people choose to dress as such on one dark night? In lieu of this, you could also have him discover the concept of trick-or-treat, or something similar, or stumble onto the concept of a slasher movie marathon to celebrate the holiday. With Abbie explaining that, yes, it is entertainment, while explaining the concept of (very similar sounding, after episode 3) Freddy Krueger. | letter |
| calliopes_pen | The Real Ghostbusters | Peter Venkman (The Real Ghostbusters), Egon Spengler (The Real Ghostbusters), Ray Stantz (The Real Ghostbusters), Winston Zeddemore (The Real Ghostbusters) | What if Peter was successful at opening the containment unit, while he was possessed by Watt? How would the guys have tried to stop him or save him, while simultaneously dealing with all the ghosts they had captured escaping? | letter |
| calliopes_pen | Murder By Death (1976) | Sam Diamond, Jessica Marbles, Dick Charleston, Sidney Wang | Another detective was meant to arrive at the scene rather late—the deleted footage should be available on Youtube, insinuating that it was Sherlock Holmes. Is there a round 2 of the murder mystery? Would there be a botched attempt to warn the newcomer (and his companion) from Jessica Marbles? Or Dick Charleston, as he tries to get out to get Dora some medical attention? What if this new detective arrived right in the middle of the final revelations? | letter |
| Calliotrope (Xris) | Ladyhawke (1985) | Etienne Navarre, Isabeau d'Anjou, Philippe Gaston | I'd love to read the amazing post-movie story where the three of them end up together - the one everything talks about writing but no one has. | |
| Calliotrope (Xris) | Zombieland (2009) | If there could be some awesome Tallahassee/Wichita/Columbus fic, that'd be extraordinary. | ||
| Calliotrope (Xris) | The Cabin in the Woods (2011) | I'd be thrilled to read some of the stories about the monsters in the boxes. | ||

| cantstoptemplarswillgetme | The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner | Eugenides (Queen's Thief), Attolia (Queen's Thief), Eddis (Queen's Thief) | As of now I've only read up through The Queen of Attolia, so this may be a bit vague, but by the time Christmas rolls round I'll likely have finished the entire series. The vaguely Asia Minor/Levantine world and the ambiguous time-period reminds me a lot of the world-building in C. S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces, which is another favorite of mine. I'll gleefully accept almost anything within my overall perameters, whether it's backstory shenanigans in Eddis or a more detailed account of the inital heist in the first book or more bad stuff happening to Eugenides, and anything else that should strike your writerly fancy. |

| cantstoptemplarswillgetme | Dishonored (Video Game) | Corvo Attano, Anton Sokolov, Vera Moray | Granny Rags, The Outsider (Dishonored) | The best things about this game, to me at least, are the setting itself (so spook, so atmosphere) and all the random world-building, non-game-play-relevant stuff you trip over while exploring your environment. Also the creepifyingness (whales, man, whales are terrifying). It is one of my current goals to look like an escapee from this game so don't stint on the description. I'm particularly curious about other people who have interested the Outsider in the past. What about them caught his eye? What does he do with them? Do they come to bad ends? Is he just bored or does he have something in mind or maybe both? Backstory fic for Corvo Attano (where did he go right before the events of the game? how did he get his assassin skills?), Anton Solokov (seriously though what's up with him?) or Granny Rags (adorable old ladies with rad fashion sense who are also eldritch abominations? Yes please) would likewise be cool. |
letter |
| cantstoptemplarswillgetme | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | T. E. Lawrence, Ali ibn el Kharish, Auda abu Tayi, Faisal I of Iraq | A lot of my love for this comes from my own travels in the Negev and Hijaz while reading Seven Pillars. I've spent extended amounts of time in Israel both traveling and on an archaeological expedition, and if all goes according to plan I'm going to Jordan in June. The more atmosphere you can get into the fic, the better. A lot of fic for this takes a much more serious tone, and I'm definitely down for that, but I don't have any specific ideas in mind. If more lighthearted stuff is to your liking, maybe Lawrence and Ali trying to contain mischief being wrought by the boys or Cairo headquarters shenans or Auda being a goof. I'm a member of the camp that likes to read Lawrence as a homoromantic asexual. The request for gen-fic still stands but any little nods to that could be cool. |
letter |
| cantstoptemplarswillgetme | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke | John Childermass, The Raven King, Jonathan Strange, The gentleman with the thistledown hair | Once again the greatest appeal for me in this is the setting, the blend of Regency/Restoration history and the eldritch-as-balls faerie stuff. Also excellent are the footnotes Clarke gives us, couched as excerpts from in-universe books. I really love the ballad that appears in one of the early chapters. The stanza that goes "This world is all too shallow/it is painted on the sky/and it trembles like the wind-shook rain/when the Raven King goes by” sums up the best of the eerieness to me. I really really really want to know more about Childermass, whether it's backstory or stuff he does when the plot is looking at someone else. His name refers to a feast commemorating the slaughter of the innocents by Herod, which could be a good plot hook. It might also be cool to see Strange dicking with the established historical accounts wherever it seems like there's potential for hilarity. The Raven King himself is obviously fascinating, in a similar vein to the Outsider, but I'd rather see him in cameos than as a major player. Likewise the Gentleman with the Thistledown Hair. |
letter |
| cantstoptemplarswillgetme | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | Jack Aubrey, Stephen Maturin | Thanks to being a philosophy student and having stupid amounts of reading to do all the time, I'm only up through The Fortune of War, so yeah. Maybe something about that one time Stephen got captured by the Spanish, or some of his other alluded-to duels, or those few months Jack spends living in the bearskin (where did they even get that bearskin? who thought that was a good idea?), or Jack-and-Stephen-play-some-chamber-music fluff, or Jack's French is terrible and gets them in trouble (putine =/= putain or somesuch other homophone confusion). Shenanigans. Totally made-up but still canon-plausible adventures. Puns on canons and cannons. Whatever you can come up with. I was a topman on a square-topsail schooner for a few years, so if for some reason you like giving detailed descriptions of uber-nautical stuff I'm down with that, but I definitely understand a tendency to gloss over the technical aspects. For the same reason, surprise grounding or taking on water/sinky stuff or shipboard fires, etc, will probably make me nope right on out. Feel free to write me something like that but please tag it so I know what I'm getting into. Please no man overboard (oddly specific I know but yikes). |
letter |
| cantstoptemplarswillgetme | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Peter Wimsey, Harriet Vane, Charles Parker, The Dowager Duchess | One of my favorite things about the series is the narrative voice and the dialogue: the stupid puns, the erudite references (oh god the crossword puzzle), the absurdity ("What have you there?” - "A boot!” - "Alas, alas, what boots it to repeat!”). Pastiche would be great, if you feel up to it. Backstory fic about Wimsey and Bunter in WWI is super-cool (why does his PTSD take the form of fear of German sappers? how did Bunter find him, or vice-versa, after the war?). What about some of those cases mentioned in passing? I make an enthusiastic exception to my gen-fic requirement in favor of shippy Wimsey-Vane stuff, particularly post-Busman's Holiday and anything involving their ridiculously adorable family. |

I just want makeouts. Why is this so difficult? Confession: I started writing a Sendrick college!AU that may or may not be finished, but like, I WOULD GLADLY READ ANY AND ALL AUs YOU'D BE WILLING TO WRITE???? OR ANYTHING??? I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Their friendship! And the press tour! I MEAN COME ON YOU TWO. (The Instagram comments. I CAN'T.) | letter |
| Care | The Miseducation of Cameron Post - Emily M. Danforth | Cameron Post, Coley Taylor, Irene Klausen | Oh god, where do I even start? Okay, this is like the ultimate book as far as YA novels go. It's just staggering. I think Cam Post is one of my absolute favorite fictional characters of all time, if not THE absolute favorite. I really, really want her to have escaped to the West Coast after the book ends, to make it. To get a job, to kiss women, to be happy and healthy. But I've also wondered just WHAT HAPPENS to Coley and Irene, in their own lives. Does Coley go to college and experiments with other girls? How DOES Irene handle boarding school and a boyfriend? Do they see Cameron again (please please please)? WHAT HAPPENS??? | letter |
| Care | Lizzie Bennet Diaries | Gigi Darcy, Lydia Bennet (LBD) | Um, this couple makes so much sense to me, and they should be together? I'm just SO INTO IT. I've weirdly really wanted a high school or college AU for them, but like...so many fics would be awesome. Like, slow-burn fics where they become friends and then work their way up to kissing and being in love, and it's just...both of them got so fucked over by Wickham, and they both deserve love, and I think they can really be that person for each other? | letter |
| Care | 15 Ways to Stay Alive - Daphne Gottlieb (poem) | UGGGGH. So, this poem ruined me. And honestly, I would take anything. ANYTHING. I just -- the visceral, twisting feeling of this poem is so amazing. I would love for something reminiscent of that. I WOULD ALSO PARTICULARLY LOVE FEMMESLASH FOR THIS, as it's a queer poet, and I just, OOF. YES PLEASE. Thank you! :) (Also, ps, crossovers for this = A+++). | letter | |
| Carmarthen | Rómeó és Júlia (Színház) | Tybalt (Rómeó és Júlia) | I love Tybalt because he's fascinating and messed up and he *knows* it and hates himself but can't figure out how to get out of that trap, and he horrifies me and breaks my heart at the same time. I desperately want him to be happy, or at least more functional, and if you could figure out how to do that I would adore you forever, but sad Tybalt fic is a staple of my fannish existence and I love that, too. I find his relationships with the other Capulets (Lord and Lady C. and Julia) and with the servants (who seem to both fear and care for him in ways that do horrible things to my heart) really interesting. I adore all the characters and would be quite happy with an ensemble story, so long as Tybalt plays a significant role. I'd love gen fic about his relationship with anyone in the cast, or his backstory (particularly his relationships with his father, Lady Capulet, and Julia). I'd also love pairing fic--I ship him with almost everyone in the cast, but especially Julia/Romeo/Tybalt fix-it and Tybalt/Mercutio. Unrequited conflicted Julia angst is always welcome. The only Tybalt pairings I'd rather not see are Tybalt/Lord Capulet, Tybalt/Lady Capulet as anything other than badwrong UST, Tybalt/Nurse, or requited Tybalt/Julia without Romeo as a buffer. Extensive flail, resources and specific prompt ideas in my letter, if you like that kind of thing. |
letter |
| Carmarthen | Elisabeth (Színház) | A Halál | Death | I love pretty much all productions of Elisabeth I've seen to some degree or another, but the main reason I really like the Hungarian production is the alien otherworldliness of Death. I've seen a couple videos with different actors, and I feel like what sets Hungarian Sparkledeath apart (besides the glitter) is that he really fundamentally doesn't *understand* humans, in a way that's simultaneously dorky and terrifying: he genuinely, passionately loves Elisabeth, and genuinely doesn't understand why his method of courting her is *terrible*; he genuinely finds humans super duper interesting, especially when you fuck with their lives and try to collapse their society to see what happens. But at the same time, he's a character in a story that has a set role for him: he wants to be a lover, but that's not a narrative he fits into. He wants to live happily ever after with Elisabeth and seems to believe that's going to happen right up until it doesn't--and I feel like, at the beginning of the show, he's over Elisabeth but still fundamentally shaken in his alien way by the experience of being in love. I'm primarily interested in Death and his worldview, how he interacts with puzzling yet fascinating humans. Gen is wonderful, so is pairing fic (or porn). I'd be thrilled with Death/Elisabeth, /Lucheni, or /Rudolf, or gen about Death and anyone in the cast except Franz-Joseph. Extensive flail and specific prompt ideas in my letter, if you like that kind of thing. |
letter |
| Carmarthen | Romeo And Juliet - Shakespeare | Tybalt (Romeo and Juliet), Rosaline (Romeo and Juliet) | Tybalt and Rosaline fascinate me in particular because they have so little actual presence in the play--Tybalt only a handful of lines, Rosaline none--but they're talked *about* constantly by the other characters, and hence play major roles in the plot. They're presumably cousins, but while Tybalt is all choler and fire, Rosaline seems to be described as "cold” (although perhaps only because she's not into Romeo). It makes me wonder what their relationship is like; I love the idea of them being friends as well as kin, and I think their combined perspective on events could be really interesting. If you want to include other characters, I'm always fond of Mercutio, and really interested in Tybalt and Juliet's offpage relationship--I think in the play he genuinely is her favorite cousin and she cares for him, although she certainly plays up her grief at his death to mask her feelings for Romeo as well. Please don't feel you have to imitate Shakespeare stylistically--in fact, I'm not a huge fan of verse pastiche or "missing play scenes” for Shakespeare fandom. If you feel comfortable with Elizabethan dialogue and enjoy playing with it in a narrative where it fits, that's awesome--but if you're not comfortable with it, I'd much prefer dialogue that feels natural to you. What's important to me is the characters and the "feel” of canon more than the specific style. I'm also quite happy with magic/fairytale AUs for Shakespeare, if that's something you enjoy or you feel like it relieves the pressure of writing Shakespeare fic. An SF or fantasy dystopian or post-apocalyptic AU could also be really interesting. Extensive flail and specific prompt ideas in my letter, if you like that kind of thing. |

| Carmarthen | Hújiā Shíbā Pāi | Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute | Cài Yǎn | Cài Wénjī | Within the context of this poem, a lot of themes I'm interested in come up: language barriers and cultural exchange, homesickness, ambivalence, complex familiar relationships, and complex consent issues. I don't get the impression from the poem that Cai Wenji was immediately overwhelmed by Liu Bao's manliness and developed instant Stockholm Syndrome, but her feelings about him also seem to be more complex and ambivalent than the hatred and resentment I'd expect if he was cruel to her--and he seems rather attached to her himself. I'm interested in exploration of that complex ambivalence with characters from two societies where consent isn't necessarily a prerequisite to marriage anyway, but I'm also interested in Cai Wenji's relationships with her sons, with her family in China, with other women (Han or Xiongnu), and in how she adjusts back to life in China after her ransom. This is also a great canon for nature porn, if you're into describing the sweeping stark scenery of the steppes and birds winging through the sky and all that jazz--I love that stuff so much. Extensive flail, resources, and specific prompt ideas in my letter, if you like that kind of thing. |
letter |
| Carmilla | Ulysses Dies at Dawn (Album) | Ashes O'Reilly | Hades, Heracles (Ulysses Dies at Dawn), Orpheus (Ulysses Dies At Dawn) | I just love Ashes' Hades personna - how they've made themselves right at home in the City 'taking over a bit' and playing merry hell with the lives of anyone who happens to cross their path. It can be light-heartedly dirty and wrong (not necessarily in a sexual way) or full-blown tragedy; I'd just like to see Hades having fun, being awesome, and manipulating their supplicants for their own amusement. (NB. I actually know Ashes' performer, so nothing sexually explicit for this request, please! And also please don't gender them female, although I'd be happy to read the character as either genderqueer or male.) |
letter |
| Carmilla | The Persuaders | Brett Sinclair, Danny Wilde, Prue (The Persuaders) | I'm absolutely fascinated by Prue and Brett's relationship in 'That's Me Over There' - when Brett sees her car coming and smiles smugly to himself because he knows exactly what's going to happen next, I think I may have shouted "They've got broccoli!" aloud. I really enjoy Prue's arch, playful way of dealing with Brett in both her episodes; it seems to me that she has the measure of him pretty well and knows exactly what she wants from him and how she plans to get it, and I'm sure it wouldn't take her too long to size up Danny in a similar way. I'm also intrigued by the possibilities of Brett and Danny interacting with a woman together when one of them knows her much better than the other, as that doesn't happen much on the show. I'd really like a fic in which Brett and Prue are good friends who understand each other, and then use that understanding to run rings around Danny. I'd be equally happy with gen (casefic or just the three of them hanging out equally welcome), het or slash; I'd also love it if you went the threesome route. (My specific bunny for that is that Danny has been pestering Brett to have a threesome with him for ages, and Brett finally says 'OK, but I get to pick the woman' and asks Prue because he knows that together they'll be able to run the show.) Anything with the three of them interacting in a fun, playful way would make me happy, regardless of the pairing(s) or rating. |
letter |
| Carmilla | Shadowland - Peter Straub | Tom Flanagan | Any kind of a what-happened-next or fill-in-the-blanks story would be awesome - there are such a lot of questions left unanswered at the end of the novel. How did Tom come to own Shadowland? Why is he working as a cards and coins man? Did he ever meet Bud Copeland again? Did Rose and Del really disappear for good, or did they come back? I'd also be delighted with a story that played with the idea of Tom as unreliable narrator - how many of the events in the book actually happened as described, and if he's covering something up, why? Any romantic combination of Tom, Del and Rose, including OT3, would make me happy too, whether it was set during an AU version of the story or after it ends. One of the things I like about the book is the sensitive and unjudgemental treatment of young teenage sexuality, but if you would rather steer clear of the sexual element or age the characters up I'm fine with that as well. |
letter |
| Carmilla | Penn & Teller RPF | Penn Jillette (Penn & Teller RPF), Teller (Penn & Teller RPF) | I'm not gonna lie - I would love to see Penn/Teller slash, and if you have a bunny of your own for it feel free to go with that. Any setting is fine by me, from when they were first starting out to the present day. If you'd like a prompt, I'd particularly enjoy something dealing with the amount of trust and connection required to do routines like theirs, and how that might affect them in a sexual/romantic setting. If you'd prefer to go the gen route, I'm again open to pretty much anything. A few prompts that would make me squee: Penn and Teller accidentally become amateur detectives! Sci fi AU! Historical AU! Penn and Teller set out to Fix American Politics (and it doesn't go well)! Any magician (stage or real) from any other fandom appears on Penn and Teller: Fool Us! If you're writing slash, I'd prefer no cheating; open relationships or no-wives-or-girlfriends AUs are equally fine with me. I have no preference as to whether or not Teller talks when he's offstage - I think both options offer some fascinating fanfic possibilities. |
letter |
| Carmilla | The Tall Man | Julia Denning, Jenny (The Tall Man) | I really loved this film, especially the focus on interesting, complicated women and their relationships with each other and their communities. I'm open to pretty much anything for this request - pre-movie, post-movie, missing scene or AU would all make me happy. I've asked for Julia and Jenny because I loved them both too much to choose between them, but if you'd like to write a story about one of them and leave out the other that's fine with me. If you're writing about them both, I'd love to see some more of Julia mentoring/looking after Jenny before the events of the movie, or Jenny visiting Julia in prison afterwards. I'm also open to femslash between them if it's set when Jenny is older. If you'd like to focus just on Jenny, I'd love to see a scene from her childhood, or to know what she decides to do when she grows up - does she ever see her birth family again? Does she set up a support group for the other taken children? Does she decide to ignore the whole thing and fully embrace her new life? If you'd like to focus just on Julia, I will happily read ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING. Prison life, her time in Africa, something from the early days of her marriage or when they first moved to Cold Rock? I'd also love Julia/Christine femslash, especially if it deals with Julia's relationship with her husband too. I don't mind reading cheating in this scenario, but I'd prefer a poly relationship if you're happy to write it. |

| carnationsandrobots | Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | Akemi Homura, Kaname Madoka, Sakura Kyouko | I'm interested in post series stuff! I'm only familiar with the anime canon, haven't read any of the mangas or seen the movies. Homura/Madoka and Kyouko/Sayaka, but definitely here for Homura and Kyouko being terrible friends. Gratuitous religious symbolism is always great. | |
| carnationsandrobots | Princess Princess (webcomic) | Amira (Princess Princess), Sadie (Princess Princess) | Amira/Sadie, obviously. I'm pretty cool with anything? Porn, adventures, domesticity stuff, I don't really care. Post-canon would be fun, or something detailing their separate lives until they're reunited. Up to you! | |
| carnationsandrobots | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | Domesticity/case fic would be fun! I'm cool with it being shippy or not. | |
| carnationsandrobots | Green Lantern: The Animated Series | Aya (GLTAS) | If it's post series, I'd prefer something that's more day-in-the-life on the Interceptor. I'm cool with Aya/Razer. Something heavy on Aya exploring her sexuality would be fun if you do that? (If you do do porn, I will think it's 5000 times hotter if cunnilingus is involved.) Also, I'm never here for human!Aya. On that note, I would love, love something that explores her robot-ness in a lot of detail? | |
| carolinecrane | Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) | Joe (Santa Claus: The Movie), Cornelia (Santa Claus: The Movie) | Joe and Cornelia bond pretty closely in the film, and at the end they're whisked away to be raised by Santa and Mrs. Claus. Talk about an idyllic childhood. The movie ships them, so I'm not ashamed that I totally ship it too. Having said that, I'd love to hear anything about their continuing story, whether it's the magic of life at the North Pole, their thoughts on finally having a family, or how they navigate the change in their relationship as they find themselves being raised under the same roof. If you want to age them up I'm fine with that, or if you'd rather keep the innocence of the film I'll love that too. |
letter |
| carolinecrane | 7 Zwerge (2004) | Sunny (7 Zwerge), Cloudy (7 Zwerge) | This movie! It's the most ridiculous retelling of Snow White I've encountered, and I LOVE it. Love love love. There's a ton I wonder about the universe, like how Sunny and Cloudy came to sign up as dwarves, and whether or not they ever act on their obvious affection for each other. I love the idea of Snow White sitting them down and playing marriage counselor. I'd love to know what was happening in that exchange in the Queen's throne room. I'd love to know how they go forward after the King and Snow White go back to their kingdom. Hardly anyone has seen this movie, so I'm not holding out a lot of hope, but it's so cute that I couldn't not nominate it. |
letter |
| carolinecrane | Eu não quero voltar sozinho (2010) | Leonardo (Eu não quero voltar sozinho) Gabriel (Eu não quero voltar sozinho) | This is a short film from Brazil, and it's super adorable. If we matched on another fandom and you're not feeling it, this canon is very easy to catch up on (and posted in its entirety in my letter). It's a really sweet love story about a blind student and the new guy in school. Basically I want to know everything about what happens after the last scene in the film. What happens the next day at school? Does Leo ever get annoyed that Gabriel kind of tricked him? I would love anything at all about them: studying together, makeouts, porn, you name it. Whatever you want to tell me about them, I want to hear it. |
letter |
| carolinecrane | Halloweentown | There's so much I love about this universe. I bonded with my step-nephew over these movies when we were first getting to know each other, so the series holds a special place in my heart. I nominated the Piper-Cromwells because they're central to all the films, obviously, but honestly if you'd prefer not to use them, that would be completely fine. I would be thrilled to read anything about the Halloweentown universe or any of the characters in it. There are tons of details and ideas in my letter, if you need prompting. I wonder about so many aspects of Halloweentown that we never see on screen, but I also love Marnie and her family, and I'd be thrilled to read more of their adventures as well. |

| carriemac | Whitechapel (TV) | Joseph Chandler, Emerson Kent | Genfic or m/m--either is fine. Though if cuddles occur at some point, that would be amazing. | letter |
| carriemac | Chicago Fire | Leslie Shay | Femslash would be great, or a general fic about Shay--exploring her past relationships, her friendship with Severide or Dawson, how she came out, what she was like as a teen... | letter |
| carriemac | Haven | One of Audrey's past selves, her friendship with Duke, Jennifer's life before and after her power, Duke and Nathan's friendship...genfic or romance. It's all good. | letter | |
| carriemac | Grimm (TV) | Monroe (Grimm), Nick Burkhardt | Genfic that explores the Monroe/Nick friendship or m/m--I'd be happy with either! Other things I like--new and fun wesen, Renard, Rosalee, research (frex, scenes where they have to go through old books to figure things out), and twisted fairytales. | letter |
| cashewdani | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman | I want high school Jesse Pinkman. Being in Walt's class, going to parties, hooking up with girls, getting caught hungover by his parents, being a big brother, flunking out, all of it. If there's a high school trope you can think of, I want to see Jesse go through it. | letter |
| cashewdani | Undeclared | Steven Karp, Rachel Lindquist, Lloyd Haythe, Lizzie Exley | I miss this show so much and I would happily accept anything at all in this fandom. But if you need some suggestions, what about a spring break trip? Or a late night snack run after drinking on a Saturday night? Taking a road trip out of town for a concert? If there was something that friends would do in college, it would be amazing to read about these characters doing it. Also, if Rachel and Lloyd hooked up...let's just let that ellipsis speak for itself. | letter |
| cashewdani | Veep | Amy Brookheimer, Dan Egan | I am wretchedly into the idea of Amy and Dan being in a relationship. Maybe they start spending more time together without even realizing it? Maybe she needs him to escort her to at an event, or to rescue her from some guy at a function or maybe they celebrate a success with too much to drink one night? I'd prefer it be messy and ridiculous, but with some heart underneath, because really, the way he looks at her sometimes. | letter |
| cashewdani | New Girl | Schmidt (New Girl), Cece Parekh, Nick Miller, Jessica Day (New Girl) | omehow, Cece still hasn't found out about Schmidt's proposal. And she should. | letter |
| Castiron | The Vicar of Wakefield - Oliver Goldsmith | Anything's fine; I just want fic for this book to exist. | letter | |
| Castiron | Le Comte de Monte-Cristo | Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas | Mercédès Mondego (Dumas) | Mercédès gets screwed over by the story for the sin of being a woman who decided to go on with her life after losing her beloved, and I really want a happy ending for her. Maybe Edmond returns to her as a widower many years later; maybe she finds a true vocation as a nun; maybe she gets a hot young man as a fantastic lover; maybe she discovers a talent she hadn't realized she had and creates some really cool stuff. In any case, I want to see her rising above the tragedies of her past to build an amazing and happy life for herself. | letter |
| Castiron | The Pushcart War - Jean Merrill | General Anna | Anything about General Anna would be interesting. What was her earlier life like? Does she ever meet Alice Myles (the possible future Pushcart Queen)? How does she adapt to life post-war, for the few years she lives? | letter |
| Castiron | The Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Orczy | The character I'd really like to know more about is Reuben the Jew, but anything is fine -- backstories, secret romances, what happened next, whatever! | ||
| cathalin | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | Stephen Maturin, Jack Aubrey | First, I will love anything you do! I love the books and have read all of them, some of them twice. I love the movie. I love every character and every adventure and every terrible pun and every complex relationship. I love the way the books are written, so that they're like another language, like you're back in that time and place. But I also love the movie and the way it sweeps you in. Most of all, beyond all, I love Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin (but I also appreciate Sophie and Diana a ton as characters). I love how Jack and Stephen complement each other and understand each other even though they're so very different. I love their loyalty and how much they care about each other. If you feel like you want to write in the style of the books, oh my gosh DO!!! But if that's a bit much, any style you want will be great also (by the way, fwiw I know nothing about sails, sailing etc., so I won't care that every sail reference be perfect!) A fic that slashes Jack and Stephen and/or focuses on their amazing friendship would be awesome. If you are comfortable with it, I would love to see them falling in love and having a bit of angst about that and then having a happy ending. (I do like Diana and Sophie, so would ask that they be dealt with kindly or simply taken out of the picture if you do this type of fic). I am totally down for hot sex scenes between them as well, if you enjoy writing that kind of thing. I love scenes like this where their characters/personalities shine through, and I believe wholeheartedly that they would be passionate. If you're not comfortable writing m/m, or just not mused for it, trust me when I say, I will love friendship fic every bit as much! After all, that's why I love the books so much... their lovely, at times hilarious, friendship. For either type of fic, m/m or friendship/gen, there are endless fics that would be awesome! Perhaps they could have an adventure of some kind while at sea, or there could be something scientific. In fact, feel free to go au here if you want, and have them meet up with some science fictiony or fantasy thing (I'm not a huuuge fan of super cracky premises though, so something where they're not, say, pencils or something would probably be best). Something with spying would be very cool! Maybe the fate of England and/or the world hangs on something Stephen's investigating or involved with. Perhaps Jack blunders into something he shouldn't, but it gives Stephen the necessary information to save the world, or whatever. Jack rescuing Stephen or Stephen rescuing Jack is always awesome. ALL THE FEELINGS. Adventure/new cultures is always a win. Maybe they get stranded somewhere they've never been. Maybe they learn things through the local culture, about life or themselves. This would need to be done with sensitivity to that real culture, but them being fish out of water could be excellent! I love it when these characters talk about things, so some of that would be excellent as well, and I love it when they encounter new things/people together. Of course I love it when they play music or listen to music or discuss music. Whether you write friendship fic or m/m, another thing I would love reading would be them having a falling-out of some sort, and them finding their way back to each other. That happens canonically, almost. What would happen if something caused a rift, and how would they find their way back? The dynamics of their relationship are something that is of highest interest to me and whether you write m/m or friendship, I would love to see them coming to a greater understanding of each other or themselves, growing in some way as friends, or just, well, being themselves together. Finally, though I've highlighted the Jack/Stephen relationship, I do have a few other ideas in the post on my journal for you (OT4 anyone haha?), in case these are not working for you or you just want to see more. I also have a general "preferences" list for things I tend to love and tend to want to avoid that you are welcome to consult. Above all, please know that I adore these books and the movie and all the characters, so anything in the 'verse will be loved by me. |

| cathalin | Little Women Series - Louisa May Alcott | Josephine March, Theodore Laurence | I am going to love anything at all that you write in this 'verse! Almost all of my suggested ideas involve Jo, one of my top favorite characters of all time, and most of them involve Laurie, but I'm even including a couple of ideas that involve other characters, that Jo and/or Laurie wouldn't even have to be in, just in case you decide you're more interested in those (obviously, we matched on Jo and Laurie, so these other ideas are BEYOND optional - they just provide another option <3) The first kind of story I'd love would involve Jo and Laurie and yes, I would love to see a plausible way for them to get together romantically and have it be wonderful. There are lots of ways I could imagine you could get there! One of the main stories you could explore would be a future!fic, where Jo and Laurie have both had their marriages to others, but their spouses die and they are single again and they rediscover each other. Or perhaps they realize just in time before they marry other people what they should actually be doing. Or perhaps they even do get together back in Little Women days. What would happen? Maybe they'd be happy at first, but grow further apart or be bad influences on each other, and then need to do some growing and changing and fall in true love later in that process. Feel free to go au wherever/whenever you want to. I do love the canon characters and relationships (Amy, Friedrich) as well, so you could either handwave them away completely, or show them as loving relationships, but no longer a factor due to death or etc. Basically, I'd just love to get a fic with a happy ending that allowed Jo and Laurie to be together, but in a way that felt like it honored Jo's early feeling that they were too much alike/not good for each other. How do they grow and change, either together or apart, so that they end up being right for each other? Or, maybe they WERE right for each other, and Jo was just scared. Maybe there's a story where over time she comes to realize that. Maybe something happens so that they run into each other unexpectedly somewhere that's not home, and in that environment they fall even harder for each other. By the way, feel more than free to add "in bed" after everything I've said about Jo and Laurie. :D Basically, I think their personalities and attraction would make for some hot sex, and I would love to read about it if you want to tackle that, assuming it could be done within the framework of what might be realistic for the time/style of writing. If you for some reason end up not mused to write Jo getting together with Laurie romantically, then write me anything about Jo (and Laurie as her friend)! She and Laurie can be the good buddies and best friends they are in canon! Maybe Jo gets into a scrape when she should be old enough to know better. Maybe she finds herself super famous as a writer and has to deal with that. Maybe she gets involved in an important social issue of the day. Maybe she has problems with one of her "boys" and she addresses it in her awesome Jo way (I love Little Men and Jo's Boys as well). Maybe she travels to some far away place and meets other awesome women doing awesome things! Really, any story that deals with her is going to be a win/win for me. Laurie can be a big or negligible presence - it's up to you! If you, like me, have some serious love for some of the characters featured in the later books -- Dan, Nan, etc. -- take a look at my post on my journal for some additional ideas for stories that feature them that I would love equally to all the above (obviously, these are Beyond Optional!). As you can probably see from my novel-length request, bwahaha, my love for this 'verse is huge, so really, you basically can't go wrong with anything at all you write for me! <3 And, as I mentioned, I have put even MORE ideas on my post on my journal, just in case you would appreciate more, as well as a list of ~preferences I tend to have in fic generally. |

| cathalin | Shelter (2007) | Shaun (Shelter), Zach (Shelter) | Okay, so I love this movie? I love pretty much everything about it, actually. I loved watching Shaun and Zach fall in love, the found family feelings in it, the contrast between Zach's family home and Shaun's, the tension between Shaun and Zach as they're in the throes of UST, and then the angst when Zach can't handle the relationship and it tears them both apart, being apart. I love the ending, and I love the secondary characters - Gabe is a personal fave ahaha and Tori, best friend forever SERIOUSLy she's awesome, and then of course there's Cody. <3 I don't hate kidfic like some people do, if it's good, and this is like the best kidfic. My primary interest in a gift fic is Zach and Shaun. I would love to see what happens next for them, either immediately after the movie or a bit further down the road. I think there are some issues that could come bubbling up for them that could support some light angst - maybe they break up for a while SOB and there's angst and then they get back together, stronger than ever. Or maybe they don't break up, but come close to it and resolve their issues in the nick of time. Maybe Zach's spending a lot of time with a guy from school and Shaun is insecure. Maybe the opposite - Zach's all covered in paint and being a dad all the time and Shaun has a new book out and is wined and dined by handsome men. Of course, in line with my general likes/dislikes, I would not like there to be any actual infidelity or even close to it - something I don't think would be in character anyway. <3 But some jealousy/insecurity/angst... bring it on! Another possibility would be some light angst over the massive change in their lives and adjusting to that. They are insta-dads and insta-boyfriends, in a lot of ways, as they had to suddenly take on Cody full time and are moving in. How do they adjust to these big changes? Do they get crabby and tired and have fights sometimes? Do they start questioning if the other is in for the long haul? Do they wonder if they themselves even want the long haul? Do they wonder if they are holding the other person back (I think they do!). Okay, and then there's sex. I would seriously love some sex in a fic, either along with any of the above ideas (or any of your own), or sex showing the progression of their relationship, or basically anything. I don't see these guys as into any serious Bdsm or lifestyle kink or anything like that and wouldn't prefer to read that, but I DO think they'd be open to quite a bit in bed. And in Zach's case, he's new to all of this, and it makes sense that they'd do quite a bit of exploration. I honestly don't have any preference per se regarding topping/bottoming, and usually don't think of relationships in that way, but I also don't mind them being portrayed with both of them consistently in one role (though sex scenes don't need to be penetrative to be interesting to me!) The kinds of sex I love to read about includes some emotion, though unstated emotion is just as good or maybe even better than stated - I tend to prefer non-mushy scenes that are nevertheless full of love. I have a personal head canon that at some point, Shaun will think Zach will want/need more gay experience(s), both sexually and otherwise. Does Zach need that? Could his lack of experience pull them apart (temporarily) in some way? By Shaun insisting on it, if nothing else? Does Shaun start bringing Zach to ~gay bars and introducing him to his L.A. friends? Or does he keep those lives separated? Also, what about Shaun's former relationship? What baggage does he have from the way that went? Is Zach curious about the ~gay scene? Or not? Cody could be another source of issues for them, particularly given the custody situation. I wouldn't prefer any heavy duty angst over losing Cody, I couldn't stand it, but fic exploring Shaun's adjustment to being a father -- and Zach's for that matter -- would be wonderful as well. If the idea of them working through some angst over some issues and/or writing sex doesn't work for you, I would also love any fic about their future life, or even possibly something au. An au in which they meet in some other way and face somewhat different challenges could be really cool, so long as they were recognizably themselves! And if they were both in a bit of a tough place emotionally when they met, that could be great and lend a bit of angst. I'm also sucker for "fuck first, then fall in love" type scenarios, so that could work as well. Generally speaking, I'd prefer Cody to still be a part of Zach's life in some way if you do go au, I think. If you want to go that route, you might want to look at my list of ~preferences when you were picking what type of au to do, in my post on dw/lj that's linked here. Finally, I would definitely love fic having to do with Cody and Shaun becoming closer, or anything at all to do with their lives together as a family. <3 |

| cathalin | Seven Years in Tibet (1997) | Peter Aufschnaiter (Seven Years in Tibet), Heinrich Harrer (Seven Years in Tibet) | Yeah, so for job related reasons, I watch this movie every year or so, and every single time I (inappropriately for the setting haha) find my brain madly slashing the main characters, plus a few other things I'll get to. I love the setting, too, and the redemption arc for Heinrich's character. Basically, Heinrich and Peter remind me of so many fics I've loved over the years. It's the classic tale of two men, one nice and one selfish/not nice, but both stubborn, who through circumstances, come to appreciate and love each other. Not only are they stuck together in tough/close circumstances, they even ~compete for the same woman! Part of me just wants hate!sex between them, okay? That same part wants that to then end up resolving into admission of their obvious seriously epic love for each other, and some sort of semi-realistic feeling happy ending for them. My feelings on this are probably furthered by the fact Thewlis is just amazing, period, in any role, and I can't help but respond to the characters he portrays, with their kindness, yet core of iron strength. (Uh. Him topping the heck out of Heinrich would be fine with me, by the way, just saying. Even a little humiliation could work here ahaha). I had to look up the name of the Tailor who they both fall for, who is in herself a kickass character. I nominated her so she'd be in the set, but didn't request her here so as to make this request as broad as possible, but this is a rare situation where I think some type of threesome resolution would be amazing (they pour Heinrich a cup of tea EVERY TIME THEY HAVE TEA WHILE HE'S GONE OKAY). Assuming, though, that you go with a relationship that is just Heinrich/Peter, please do treat her respectfully, whether you go au and have her not interested in them/men or have it not work out with Peter specifically or whatever approach you take. Future!fic is also a great option, set when Peter and Heinrich are older, and perhaps she has died, or maybe they have decided to be just friends. Tl;dr: She is awesome and it is up to you whether she's part of this love match or not. Just treat has as a strong woman with agency who is awesome, and I'll be more than happy (or leave her out completely - that's totally fine too). If you aren't a writer who likes to write shippy fic, then by all means just write some gen that features these two guys' friendship, and I will be thrilled. Something with some angst and then a good resolution would be great. It could cover the time period of the movie and show more about how they worked through their rift, or be set in the future. Perhaps Heinrich comes and visits again, or brings his son to live in Tibet for some reason. Or perhaps Peter and his wife come to Europe, and they all go mountain climbing or have an adventure of some kind, or perhaps Peter and Heinrich once again find themselves fighting for survival in a harsh environment. You could even take it very au and do some type of apocafic or fic set in another war, whatever muses you! Anyway, dear writer, if you write fic featuring these guys, you will be making me happy, period, whatever it might be, so follow your muse/heart/imagination, and please have fun! If you want a bit more information about the things I tend to enjoy most in fic (and not), come on over to the post on my dw/lj. The one thing I do feel I should mention here is that for personal reasons, I strongly prefer not to read a fic that in any way involves the death of Heinrich or Peter. If I think of any other specific prompt ideas or things I might love to see in this 'verse once requests close, I'll add them over on my dw/lj post. Truly, all of this extra information is totally optional, and anything you do in this fandom with ZERO current fic to bump that number up will make me ecstatic. p.s. I found a youtube link to the entire movie, in parts, if that's helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBekm2kirxQ&list=PL67A0BBF75CBA2AB9 |

| cathalin | Give Me Love (Music Video) | Cupid (Woman), Police Officer (Give Me Love Video), Man 1 (kissing man 2 at 3:30), Man 2 (kissing man 1 at 3:30) | o I never thought I'd request about a video, but something about Give Me Love hit me hard and haunted me. There are a couple of different stories I'm super interested in: The woman who is the main character - Cupid? - what is her story?!?! There are so many different interpretations I can imagine for her story. I have seen there are people who've talked about this (quick Google search), but this is one where I would love to see what YOU thought her story was. The policeman who appears at the beginning and the end. What is his story? There seems to be an implication at the end that maybe the woman sees him, and maybe they fall in love then? Or maybe they already were in love a long time ago but lost track of each other? Or maybe he's going to end up being her friend, just friends, the first one she's had? Or she will end up saving him in some way, in the future? If you make this a love story of some kind, which I would love, it would be wonderful if it's not just a case of him ~saving her, but vice versa as well, as I definitely prefer women characters to be strong in their own right and not focused solely on ~finding a man. I could see a really cool treatment of this video that had supernatural/fantasy/science fiction elements, too. Is she really a human woman? Or is she something different? Maybe she got stranded on Earth thousands of years ago and finally despairs of finding one of her own kind? Maybe the ~policeman is, and finally finds her. Maybe she really is some sort of Cupid with powers, but they never work on herself, and her loneliness just got to be too much. Of course, maybe you see her as fully human and all the arrows, etc. are just symbolic. If so, the one thing I'd really prefer is that she not engage in graphic self-harm and that there be no death of any of the nominated characters - . I realize the video might be seen as depicting that, but I'd prefer this to be off screen if it occurs at all. I can handle pretty dark and angsty, but no graphic descriptions of violence or self harm or death at Yuletide pretty please. If ships aren't your thing, I would equally love some story about the friendship these two characters form, or anything featuring the Woman by herself, in which she becomes happy and fulfilled in life! Anyway, dear writer, I would love to hear whatever story you wanted to tell with these characters! I feel that there are tons of directions you could go with the Woman and the Police Officer, and I'd love to see what you want to write. If the main character woman and/or police officer aren't working for you, how about the two guys who kiss when she starts getting aggressive with her arrows. Who are they? Did they know each other before? Why were they where they were? If the effect of the arrow runs out, how do they feel? Still attracted, or not? Can you show them falling in love, after they, well, get hit by the arrow? Like, when the dust settles, can they actually fall in love? Or were they already in love, but circumstances caused them to break up, and this is their chance to find each other again? Their kiss is pretty damn passionate, and as you will see if you visit my journal post, I love reading hot sex, and love reading m/m relationships in general, so feel free to include that if you like it, particularly if I can get a sense of who these two guys are as people and why they have fallen for each other. Though the above are the stories I'm super interested and I nominated characters for, honestly this is the request where if you have another idea you're mused for, go for it! I waffled and went back and forth on my third and fourth character slots, because I was also super interested in ALL of the other couples/groupings, of all their different genders (for example the two blonde women who kiss passionately nearer the beginning). And even the fact Ed Sheeran appears briefly in the video raises interesting questions, not to mention the setting itself, and I could see someone doing something really cool with those elements as well. If you would like to see a few additional ideas, and/or a listing of some preferences I tend to have in fic, follow the link to my journal post. If you're good to go, go for it, and most of all, have fun! p.s. Here's a link to the video: Give Me Love |

| cat_77 | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | Personally, I would love something Skye-centric. Any and all other characters are welcomed to share the love as well. Action, drama, anything save for her being some damsel in distress needing to be saved by the big, bad, "real" agents. Bonus points for her being able to handle quite a lot of it on her own. She's not dumb, but she does not have nearly the experience she thinks she has, at least not yet. | letter |
| cat_77 | Hawkeye (Comics) | Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) | omething Kate-centric? Maybe she knows more about what's going on with Clint than she lets on and is just waiting for him to share? Maybe she's got her own separate adventure where she's proving herself and why can't he and the other Avengers see that she's what she's capable of (probably because they've got their own drama as usual, but, you know...)? Even a day-in-the-life sort of piece with rich girl antics in the morning turning to saving the day in the afternoon turning to stealing pizza and coffee from Clint at night. | letter |
| cat_77 | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | I'd like something where Gretel has to actually use her White Witch heritage to save the day. Bonus if Hansel actually has some abilities too, either a legacy from their mother or from Mina as a parting gift. They've thought witches are evil for so long so for them to have to cope with having a bit of that within themselves would be awesome. No incest, please, but siblings kicking ass would rock. |
letter | |
| caughtinanocean | Scandal (TV) | Quinn Perkins | Lindsay Dwyer, Huck (Scandal), Jake Ballard, Olivia Pope | Anything with B-613. Other characters would be great, too, but I'd prefer a lack of focus on the Olivia-Fitz relationship. Huck & Quinn or Huck/Quinn would be great -- I'm completely in love with the fact that in showing her the ropes, he's saved himself in some ways, but she seems to be sinking into darkness. Olivia-and-or-slash-Jake would be great, too. I understand that I am way, way in the minority when it comes to preferring things about them and not Fitz, but at the moment that I am writing this prompt, the most recent episode ended with a bloodied Jake collapsing at Olivia's feet -- and that is the sort of thing that I am all about. I think their dynamic is really interesting, and would love to see it explored in fic. I'd also love to read about Huck and Jake interacting more. |
|
| caughtinanocean | Sneedronningen | The Snow Queen - Hans Christian Andersen | Gerda (Sneedronningen), Kai (Sneedronningen), Sneedronningen | Snow Queen | Anything that deals with the fact that, for once, a girl is rescuing a boy, and it is her story. | |
| caughtinanocean | Greek Mythology | Persephone (Greek Mythology), Hera (Greek Mythology), Artemis (Greek Mythology) Athena (Greek Mythology) | I forgot about nominations, but am also a huge sucker for the Eros/Psyche tale, as well as Prometheus. If you write me a story about Psyche, trying to win back Eros, I will probably love you forever. Or Prometheus's tortures. But if you'd rather write about powerful, tempestuous goddesses, I will also probably love you forever. Anything with parallels between Hera and Persephone would be great, and parallels between Artemis and Athena as well. |
|
| caughtinanocean | Shameless (US) | Mickey Milkovich, Mandy Milkovich, Fiona Gallagher, Ian Gallagher | I am so starved for this show that anything would make me happy -- including things that aren't happy. (I love Shameless, so clearly, I enjoy having my soul ground to pieces). But if you'd like some ideas: Parallels between Mandy + Lip and Mickey + Ian! Mickey interacting with Gallaghers that aren't Ian. Ian & Mandy being best friends. Fiona dealing with her brothers' weird affinity for the Milkovich family. Fiona dealing with Ian running off to the army. Fiona coping with losing Jimmy -- whether or not she finds out what really happened. Mickey's wife running off on him, and Mickey getting stuck with the baby. Mickey legitimately trying to make the functional, real family that he's never had with Svetlana -- and failing miserably & crushingly (and if you feel like a happy ending, maybe him figuring out that he can have a less conventional family with Ian and Mandy etc.) |

Maybe they fall for each other when they're young, maybe they only hook up when they get on the show, maybe they get together in the future and become the next NappyTabs | letter |

| cefyr | Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild | Petrova Fossil | Petrova was my favourite of the Fossil sisters. I would love to read about her future, for example. Should you feel like a crossover with some other fandom in the same period, I'm all for it; it doesn't matter if I don't know the fandom in question (I'm the kind of person who enjoys fic in fandoms I've never heard of). But pretty much anything starring Petrova would be much appreciated, be it gen, het or femslash. | letter |
| cefyr | Klart Fly | Perilous Wings - Leif Hamre | This is one of the fandoms I wish existed, mostly because I've loved the book since I was a kid. If, by some strange circumstance, I'm not alone in liking it, I would be overjoyed by any kind of fic at all based on it. More insights into Robertson's or the others' lives would be nice! And of course there's the possibility of slashing any combination of Geir, Peter and Svein, or writing more about their friendship. I don't need as much action as there is in the book, although of course I wouldn't mind it at all :) | letter | |
| cefyr | The Iliad - Homer | Andromache (Iliad) | I noticed that someone nominated Andromache, and that made me curious to read more about her. I've always felt that the scene where she meets Hector as he comes back from fighting, and Astyanax is afraid of his father in full armour, is one of the best parts of the book, because it shows people being human as well as heroes, and Andromache is a character with lots of potential for stories about that kind of thing. For example, what does she think about the war? About Helena and Paris and their role in starting it? How did she feel about marrying Hector? Or about what happens after the war? | letter |
| cefyr | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Cecil Yates, Albert "Bert" Johnson | o far, I'm only about halfway or so through the first season, but I expect to have seen it all well before I read my Yuletide fic. I would love any fic that explores Cecil and Bert's relationship. Their friendship makes me very happy, but if you see it in a slashier way I'm definitely ready to go along with that as long as it doesn't involve cheating on an existing partner. If you feel more like them going on adventures with everyone else, even if it means giving them a smaller role, that would be fine too! I'm extremely fond of pretty much everyone in this fandom :) | letter |
| celeria | The Underland Chronicles - Suzanne Collins | Every time I reread these, I am so sad when I get to the end of the last book and realize there's no more, so I want *something,* but I have no idea what. Some suggestions: How does Gregor fit back into the overland? What are the Underland and Luxa's life are like without him? Does he ever go back? If he goes back, does he ever see his family again? As Boots grows up, does she remember any of this? Do they tell her about it to keep her memories alive, or do they refuse to talk about it, because they hope she won't remember? You could go in lots of directions and I'd be happy with any of them. | letter | |
| celeria | The Boxcar Children - Gertrude Chandler Warner | I have read very, very few fics in this fandom, so I would be happy with anything. However, some ideas/preferences include: - I prefer the original 19 books in which the characters age. (As near as I can figure, Benny is about 13 and Henry is about 22 in #19, the last book written by Gertrude Chandler Warner.) - I did not love the prequel, The Boxcar Children Beginning: The Aldens of Fair Meadow Farm by Patricia MacLachlan ... - ... but I do love the idea of getting someone else's take on what happened before the start of the series. Why did Grandfather dislike the Aldens' mother? (I don't buy the "we wanted to live on a farm" explanation from the prequel.) What was their life like when their parents were alive -- were they already wealthy, or was their father disowned and cut off? Do they have any other family aside from Grandfather? Did their father have brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles? What about their mother? - I would also be fine with something written in the 'verse of books #19 plus. I imagine you could do a really fun story in the style of the books, or something satirical. - Jessie is my favourite character but I'm not really picky. I also like Henry and Violet, and anyway, the four kids seem to do most things together. |

| celeria | Pine Hollow - Bonnie Bryant | I recently reread the entire series and am most interested in what happened afterward, OR, if you wanted to write a prequel to the series (set between The Saddle Club and Pine Hollow) that would be cool too. | letter | |
| celeria | Two of a Kind | Carrie Moore Kevin Burke | I love this show and am most interested in what might have happened beyond the last episode; I am not so curious about Carrie's adventures before she came to work for the Burkes. Could be friendship or romance or some of both. | letter |
| celeria | Full House (US) | Donna Jo "DJ" Tanner | I don't have a lot of specific preferences for this one. It could be something set during/shortly after the show, or when the characters are the ages that the actors are now. Something in the style of the show, or something more snarky and fourth-wall, would also be fine. | letter |
| celeria | Get Fuzzy (Comic) | No real details here either. I figured I should have something with short source material in case you have to reread/rewatch, and this could be hilarious. (I have not followed Get Fuzzy for several years, so I will not be missing anything if you base it on the early strips.) | letter | |
| celli | Hilary Tamar Mysteries - Sarah Caudwell | Hilary Tamar | Anything. Write me ANYTHING. Just with Hilary being Hilary's awesomely ridiculous self, and mentioning taxes. Dead bodies appreciated (erm) but not required. Specific idea: Julia trips over a dead body at a wedding! The gang has a celebrity tax client! They're all trapped in the pub for some reason (I just rewatched Shaun of the Dead and am not opposed to zombies). If you can, please try to keep Hilary's gender a secret just as Caudwell does, but if it messes with the story, this is of course optional. |

| celli | Arrow (TV 2012) | Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV) | I super ship Oliver/Felicity or Oliver/Diggle/Felicity, but pair as you please. I worship the ground Felicity walks on. She is smart, quippy, Oliver's moral center (along with Diggle), and she has GREAT taste in masked vigilantes. I would be happy with 1000 words of anything. Epistolary fic where she falls in love with Oliver via email? Action stuff where she gets to be a Bond Girl, or even better has to rescue Oliver? Teaming up with Oliver to get Diggle and Carly to admit their feelings when one or both of them has an attack of cold feet? BRING IT. |
letter |
| celli | Justified | Tim Gutterson | I love all the characters (Rachel! Art! Raylan! All the rest of y'all!) but Tim is the bright shiny object of my heart. Especially some of the more deadpan season 1 Tim (the whole scene in front of the VFW? yes pls). I mostly ship him and Raylan (like coal from Newcastle I ship it) but optional is optional! You be you. I love casefic for this show, or a day in the life at headquarters, or Tim's POV from an existing episode. If you wrote Raylan and Tim undercover as a couple, I would probably have to nominate you for sainthood. Just saying. |
letter |
| celli | Fake Movie Meme (tumblr) | Serena Kamdar (Kiss With a Fist) | From slod's meme: KISS WITH A FIST- Deacon Williams (Aldis Hodge) is a genius. He graduated from college before he was old enough to vote, and was immediately recruited by a scientific organization with deep pockets and dubious motives. For ten years, he's been working at an underground lab in South America, but his latest discovery has the potential to wipe out all mankind, and Deacon has started asking some dangerous questions. The shadowy group that employs him suddenly wants him dead, and they've sent a vicious assassin (Tyler Posey) to ensure it's done. With few options left, Deacon stumbles into the US Embassy, where he meets Marine Commander Serena Kamdar (Archie Panjabi); together, they must find a way to keep Deacon alive, and prevent a global catastrophe. I'd love to see the actual story of this movie, or any part of it, or a prequel. Any combination of pairings involving these three BAMFs is GREAT. And if one of the other three fake movies is actually your favorite, ditch everything I just said and write that instead! |
letter |
| celli | Real News RPF | Rachel Maddow (News RPF) | In terms of the other characters listed, my faves are Cooper and Hayes, and my least favorites are Cox and Olbermann. I'm happy to see her paired with Susan, or with someone else if it's not adultery, and I'm happiest when it's gen or F/F or a F/F/M threesome. I really like AUs with Rachel, the more cracked out the better. What other careers could she be brilliant at? Politician? Mixologist? Supreme Court attorney? Catholic priest (as long as it's an AU, let's go all the way)? Astronaut (we have video)? Less cracky ideas: what she does after her show, new ideas for tosses with Chris, her on a talk show or at the Correspondents Dinner afterparty, etc. |
letter |
| celli | Women's Murder Club (TV) | Cindy Thomas, Lindsay Boxer | These two are one of my most deeply loved OTPs. I have all the feelings. All of them. Like I said about Justified, if you could get them undercover as a couple, I could make sainthood happen. I know a guy.* Otherwise, casefic, that delayed spa date, pre-series fic where Lindsay and Cindy interacted and didn't realize it, something celebrating San Francisco, some other awesome idea you have. * I don't know a guy. |
letter |
| celsius | Tales of Xillia | Jude Mathis, Gaius (Tales of Xillia) | The game makes a big deal out of Jude's mancrush on Gaius, and Gaius takes a weird amount of interest in Jude, but the second half is so rushed that we never got to see what their deal was. I'm interested in seeing their dynamic fleshed out! Maybe some interaction between canon scenes? Or an AU where Milla doesn't return and Jude joins the Chimeriad after all? I ship Jude with basically everyone except Leia, so if you want to go slashy with this, feel free. Jude's a hot doctor whose hobbies include being sensitive, rescuing children, and practicing kung fu. It would be surprising if he didn't attract all kinds of romantic attention. |
letter |
| celsius | K (Anime) | Neko (K), Yatogami Kurou | I'd love to read some post-series fic following with our pair of strays on the road as they search for their master. Does Kurou get them kicked out of motels because his cooking sets off the fire alarm? Can Neko be convinced to wear pants? If both of them belong to the Silver Clan now, does that mean they're immortal and/or able to fly? Is it really possible for such bizarre people to wander the country unnoticed? So many questions that could be answered in fic! If that's no good then something set during the series is fine too. As far as shipping implications are concerned, I'm good with all possible combinations of (Shiro/)Kurou/Neko, as well as pure gen. I love the dynamic of their little group -- both because they're hilarious, and because it's sweet how such odd, lonely people were able to find each other. |
letter |
| celsius | BioShock Infinite | Rosalind Lutece, Zachary Comstock | There is nothing I don't love about Rosalind Lutece. The nihilism! The narcissism! How hard she would have worked to be taken seriously, and how lonely it would have been for her. The troubles she must have faced as a woman in science if she became desperate enough to enable Comstock. Oh swoon. The game didn't do much to explain how someone like Rosalind got sucked into working with Comstock's cult, so I'd love a story looking at their dynamic. Any point in the story is fine -- could be pre-Columbia backstory, could be Robert and Rosalind awkwardly socializing with Comstock and his wife in the early days of Columbia, could be Quantum Rosalind encountering an alternate timeline Comstock after her death, whatever you like. I'm also a fan of Lutecest, so if you want to go there, do so with my blessing. |
letter |
| celsius | 有頂天家族 | The Eccentric Family | Benten | Suzuki Satomi, Shimogamo Yasaburō | I feel like Benten and Yasaburou must have had a hell of a time together when they were both students of Akadama. I mean, the two of them are such epic trolls that their original partnership ended up taking down Akadama himself. I would love to read more of their mutual trolling adventures, set either before Akadama's accident or after the series proper. Benten spent so much of the show cornering Yasaburou into hanging out with her and/or entertaining her. I wonder what their new normal would be like now. Shipping is fine, but so is gen. I honestly have no preference either way when it comes to these two. |

Take something from another fandom entirely, tear it up and make something from parts pulled blindly out of a bag, then change the names to make it about Aeon Flux. Cars are spies. Surveillance nipples. I trust you. | letter | |

| cero_ate | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Keladry of Mindelan, Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak, Buriram Tourakom | I would love a fic that's sort of...mirrors two storylines...one of Kel adjusting to dating, and how to manage that as a female leader, as well as Raoul and Buri adjusting to married life, with their own responsibilities. Kel/Dom would be my preferred pairing for Kel. How is Kel adjusting to being a peace time leader? | |
| cero_ate | Provost's Dog - Tamora Pierce | Beka Cooper, Rosto the Piper, Farmer Cape | Farmer's sterile, so when they want kids, they ask Rosto to be the male creator. And then Rosto teaches them about sharing and how everyone gets what they want. Which is good because this is the coldest winter on record. | |
| cest_what | The Church Mice Series - Graham Oakley | These picture books were one of the highlights of my childhood. They were hilarious and witty and charming and I used to stare for hours at the illustrations of dozens of mice being flighty and self-involved in their own activities all over the page. I would love literally anything in this universe. I would be especially delighted with something G-ratedly shippy between Arthur (the original church mouse) and Humphrey (the school mouse), because I ship them about as hard as you can ship children's book mice. I love the way they start out working at cross-purposes in the first book and end up best friends, and the way they team up to involve Sampson and all the mice in mad schemes for entirely different reasons, Humphrey fired up by his reading and in love with his own cleverness and Arthur puffing up with leaderly self-importance and common sense. But I would equally love interaction between any of the other characters. Anything with a sense of the ensemble - other mice doing playful/self-important/sneaky/romantic/sleepy things in the background of scenes that are not about them, like the canon illustrations - would make me really happy. (Don't worry about whether you know or can remember enough canon - I've only read the ones that I had as a child or have happened to find in libraries.) Possible prompts: Arthur and Humphrey and a near-death experience (possibly in-canon during e.g. The Church Mice Spread Their Wings?) Humphrey attempting to read something edifying to Arthur, with interruptions. Arthur and loneliness - something comparative about what it was like for him before the series, as compared to now? Arthur or Sampson learning the tricks to herding mice. Top times that Sampson nearly broke his vow of peace and brotherhood. Top times that Sampson would have much preferred to be napping. First time Humphrey had a conversation with the Vicar. |

| cest_what | No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | Nezumi (No. 6), Shion (No. 6) | I love all the No. 6 characters, and would be delighted with anyone else you chose to incorporate, but it's Shion and Nezumi's relationship that breaks me into delighted and battered pieces. You can make that relationship as explicit or as full of vague and inarticulate yearning as the canon, whichever you prefer - I am equally down for explicit scenes or significant touches on the cheek. I adore reunion fic, in a completely unembarrassed way, especially if it's preceded by loneliness and missing each other. I love all permutations of their reunion, but maybe especially if the reunion isn't easy, at least at first. If it's unexpected, or if they thought they were prepared but find they're not; if the things that were terrifying about each other are still terrifying, or if things feel too new; if they don't know how to touch, or don't know how to talk to each other. If Shion wants to welcome Nezumi with love but finds he's so twisted up with the angry loneliness that his first impulse on seeing him again is to strike him or cry, rather than kiss him, and so doesn't know how to respond at all. If Nezumi is still frightened of Shion, still resents him for making Nezumi need him, or for dying, or for working towards the rebuilding of No. 6. If this kind of life-changing love is still terrifying and difficult and too important. I will also, unusually for me, read domestic established Shion/Nezumi all day every day, whether it's set post-reunion or in West Block during canon. Anything with that touchstone of love between them, tea and books and mice and sarcasm and dancing and adjusting to life in the West Block/in the new No. 6, will make me a very happy camper indeed. I would also love to read something immediately pre-reunion, about the lead-up to Nezumi deciding to go back - what he's thinking about, what he's doing. AUs also welcomed, especially with settings that mirror the danger and desperate situations of canon in some way. Feel free to incorporate canon from the anime, manga or novel, if you've read/watched more than one of them. They're all mixed up in my head anyway. |
letter |
| cest_what | Chihayafuru | Ayase Chihaya, Wakamiya Shinobu | I'd love to see future fic about them playing one another, or maybe something from Shinobu's POV about her growing awareness of Chihaya. Or the process of Chihaya falling first for Shinobu's karuta and then for her. I'd love it if their relationship - whatever it is - was difficult, because Shinobu is spiky and lonely and aggressively ambitious and an arrogant jerk and also pretty knowingly charismatic, and Chihaya is oblivious and sometimes a bit of a steamroller and sometimes really uncertain, and also a weird mixture of socially inept and effortlessly charming/delightful, in a way that might be baffling or aggravating to Shinobu. And also because they are, of course, rivals. I'd also love to see them in an AU setting where their karuta obsession and ambition is changed into obsession with something else. I'd love femslash about them, but platonic rivalship/friendship would also be great. Bonus points for Chitose and Shinobu in a scene together, because I think they would be hilarious. Spoiler note: I'm caught up on the manga up to the half-volume gap at chapter 106, which I've been holding off on jumping over. I'd rather not be spoiled for anything important past this point. (If you only know the anime, don't worry about contradicting the manga for future fic or anything, that's fine.) |
letter |
| cest_what | Disney Princesses | Belle (Disney Princess), Megara (Disney Princess) | I didn't want to overload my request with characters, to help with matching, but I would love to receive any combination of Belle, Mulan, Megara, Ariel or Tiana. (They weren't nominated, but I would also be delighted with fic centring on/including Jane from Tarzan or Tiana's friend Charlotte.) I don't dislike any of the princesses, so feel free to include any of the others as secondary characters (although I have a bit of a mental block about envisoning 2D-style and 3D-style animated characters together, so as much as I love Merida, I would rather neither she nor Rapunzel be major characters.) I would love a super-tropey AU setting, like high school (studious good girl Belle with a crush on motorcycle-riding bad girl Meg! Tiana exhausted from her part-time job falling asleep in history, while Naveen dedicates himself to covering for her!) or college/university or a sports AU or a band AU (lead singer Ariel losing her voice right before the biggest gig their band has ever had!) or a space AU or a period AU of some kind or or or. Because it's not a single canon, Disney Princesses is the one fandom where I'm cool with characters' nationality being changed for an AU, so long as their heritage remains e.g. French for Belle, Greek for Megara etc. I would love something that feels like an ensemble, with other Disney characters having cameos or appearing in the background of scenes or being mentioned in conversation. I would really love femslash, about any of the characters I listed in any combination. If that's not your thing, friendship or rivalry between any of them would be cool. My favourite of the canon ships is Tiana/Naveen, so I'd love to see some of that. Megara/Hercules and Mulan/Shang charm me a lot too. My favourites of the princes in general are Naveen, Aladdin and Shang, so I'd love to see any of them too. I also love the villains, especially Ursula. |
letter |
| cest_what | Gunnerkrigg Court | Antimony Carver, Katerina Donlan | Again, I limited my character requests to help with matching, but I would be equally delighted with fic about Robot and Shadow (adorable anthropomorphic companions in love!), Kat and Paz (giddily pleased new girlfriends goofing around playing video games and secretly making out in corners!), Zimmy and Gamma (desperately intertwined and needing each other so bad and using each other and deeply in love), Parley and Smitty (maybe especially something incorporating before they got together, when Parley was flirting by joking and shoving Smitty around and Smitty was sort of quietly pining), or Winsbury and Janet (their insane adorable secret relationship, oh my god). For Kat and Annie, I would dearly love femslash if that's your thing. In terms of specific prompts, it would be fun to see Annie realise her feelings and then just get to see what she would do with them. Like, what the Antimony Carver version of pining and courtship would look like, because it would probably be super weird. And also she's quite secretive, so she would probably be really stealthy about it. Alternatively, I'd like to see Annie be super, super oblivious and just not get Kat's feelings at all for the longest time. I would also be delighted with friendship fic for Kat and Annie, especially in a way where their friendship is maybe threatened or strained, because of secrets or misunderstandings. Or one of them rescuing the other, or finding out the other is in danger/has been hurt. Alternatively, I think some kind of magical or SF trope would be really fun, for any of these pairs of characters - body swap, sudden telepathy, amnesia, etc. |
letter |
| cest_what | Gate 7 | Tachibana (Gate 7), Takamoto Chikahito | I would honestly be delighted with just about any Gate 7 fic that isn't Tachibana/Sakura (I don't object to them as a pairing, but I also don't ship them). But I requested Tachibana and Chikahito in particular because I'd love to see pairing fic for them. I love the way Tachibana's attitude towards Chikahito is shifting; he still calls him freeloader and side-eyes Hana's attachment to him, but he's also started fussing over him not leaving the house without his lunch etc. But I would also be into Hana/Chikahito - especially in a way that highlights Hana's androgyny - or just Hana & Chikahito in a non-shippy way. (Or Tachibana & Chikahito in a non-shippy way, because I think they have a fun dynamic either way.) Masamune is also hilarious and I love him, both his grand-standing and his ridiculous love for Hana and the way Hana responds to that, so I'd love to read something about him, with Hana or Chikahito or anyone. Hidetsugu and Mikoto are really fun, and I love Mikoto and Hana together, and would love to read more of their interaction. Feel free to swap out Chikahito and/or Tachibana for any of those characters, basically. On a more general note, I'm super into the things Gate 7 is doing with gender and gender roles, so anything written with an eye to that, in a thinky way or just any kind of gender-trope subversion, would please me to pieces. (Just ... Hana is neither a boy nor a girl. Chikahito is basically this passive ingenue heroine: he's meek and a sweetheart, and the things we see him doing are basically cooking, holding hands with Hana, responding with wide eyes and fluttering pulse and sweet delighted smile to all gestures of affection, being ordered around, and being rescued; the only active thing he's done that I can bring to mind is jumping protectively in front of somebody, and even that was the feminine-coded kind of protection, the you-will-have-to-hurt-me-to-get-to-this-person kind, with wide flung arms rather than any kind of fighting stance. Sakura and Tachibana are specifically associated with yin and yang respectively, and Sakura is an excellent cook and works in a geisha house, but then Tachibana is the one who grumpily fusses over everybody in the house remembering their lunches and being prepared for the weather and studying enough, and there are jokes about Sakura managing Tachibana like a husband comforting his hysterical wife. And that's just the central cast, there's all this interesting gendered stuff in the extended cast too. I mean damn.) |

| chase_acow | Trick 'r Treat (2008) | is my favorite part of this movie, but I really like all the stories and how they fit together. I just like Halloween, and I love horror movies. I kinda had an idea for a 5 Times fic putting Sam into other franchises and seeing whether he changed things or not, or if he was responsible for the movie/TV/book playing out as it does. I'm okay with any level of horror/violence/gore. |
letter | |
| chase_acow | Saving Grace (TV) | Grace Hanadarko | I have all the Grace feels. I'd love any kind of tag from an episode, or something preseries, or even what happened to Grace afterward - does she come back to visit, does she become a last chance angel. I love that the religion in the show seems to be a find-your-own-way catch all. I'd love to see some sort of cheesy A Very Saving Grace Christmas, because I imagine it would include a lot more cursing, booze, and sex than most of the made for TV movies. If you are interested in writing dirty porn, I've wanted to read a Butch/Ham/Grace fic for ever. I'd love to read about the first time Ham bottomed, or A/B/O (also available as a no porn plot idea), or any kind of meta on Grace's extremely varied sex life. |
letter |
| chase_acow | Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (Video Games) | o, if you've played this game, you know how ridiculous the plot is. what little plot that's there. I think I kinda want some sort of over the top fantasy adventure that has very little basis in reality. Or maybe I want a serious Tolkienesque slice of life from the group's journey toward Gondor. It's also possible that I want something completely different, so I look forward to anything you come up with. I started out asking for Berethor, but the more I thought about it, the less I actually cared who took center stage. I'm a fan of Berethor/Morwen, Berethor/Idrial, and Berethor/Morwen/Idrial. I like Hadhod because I am a dwarf fan, and his relationship with just about everyone. |

| chase_acow | Pigs Don't Fly - Mary Brown | Pigs Don't Fly and its direct sequel Master of Many Treasures are like . . . the books of my heart. They're about a girl going out on a journey and learning who she is and what she wants. Summer has adventures and meets interesting people and falls in love, which is what I always wanted to do. She is awesome, but has her flaws, and her back story is sorta heartbreaking. I honestly don't know what I want here. I love the characters, so any addition to their stories would be excellent - with the exception of the ending of Master of Many Treasures. The ending is terrible and painful and I couldn't imagine it any other way. I like the silly way-side adventures Summer and her animals have. I've always been curious about what the animals thought about their journey. I also love the plot of these books, so if we have another fandom in common and you want to write a fusion about what would be different and what would be the same, I'd be cool with that. Honestly, I will be happy with a lot of stuff for this little book. |
letter | |
| chase_acow | Young Justice (1998-2003) | Kon-El (Young Justice Comics) | I loved this comic series when it came out, and was a little disappointed by all the cartoons that came out afterwards because it didn't feel that that was "my" team. I didn't follow what happened after this series ends, but I don't mind if you include any plot points as long as I can understand them through your fic. I picked Kon-El as my requested character because he was my favorite. I loved him from his rebel never-growing-up years to when he lost his powers, to when he really matured and started taking the team seriously. I do ship him with Robin (Tim Drake), but I loved his friendship/relationship with Wondergirl too. I kinda see SB and WG as bash brothers. Towards the end, I also kinda shipped him with Snapper in a very odd way. I wanted Kon to take Snapper home to Kansas for Christmas. I wanted to include ALL the Christmas tropes, because that's how I roll. : ) So yeah, I loved this book, and I don't remember any characters that I didn't like. |
letter |
| chase_acow | Zorro (TV 1990) | Diego de la Vega (Zorro 1990) | Oh, my first noncartoon crush was on Diego. I loved this show. Zorro was like Batman, but better because he had a horse. I love the series, the will they/won't they with Victoria, the culture, and the characters. Mendoza often stole the show for me. It's been a while since I've watched them, but I think I am partial to the first Alcalde, but both of them were over the top villains in the best of ways. I don't really know what I want for this request. I've thought about a reboot, especially if Toronado can stay. Or something sciency from the time period, because those were some of my favorite episodes. The Christmas episode was awesome, but it could probably use a sequel. I'm really open to whatever you come up with. |

| Chash | Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein | Maddie Brodatt, Julie Beaufort-Stuart | I'll love pretty much anything about Maddie and Julie's friendship, either gen or slashy. I would love to see an AU (either modern or WWII-era) where they meet through other circumstances and struggle with class differences, but anything would be excellent. | |
| Chash | Pacific Rim (2013) RPF | Rinko Kikuchi (Pacific Rim RPF), Charlie Hunnam (Pacific Rim RPF) | Anything with the two of them either being bros or being bros who make out! Non-AU or AU, I am pretty easy. I just think they're adorable. | |
| Chash | Gravity Falls | Dipper Pines, Mabel Pines | Twins! I would love a look at how the two of them are outside of Gravity Falls, and would love it even more if the weirdness of Gravity Falls followed them home somehow (or had always been there). | |
| Chash | Young Justice (1998-2003) | Kon-El (Young Justice Comics), Bart Allen (Young Justice Comics), Cissie King-Jones (Young Justice Comics), Cassie Sandsmark (Young Justice Comics) | Teammates being teammates! I'm fine with any permutation of pairings among these four, but just the four of them hanging out and being buddies is also great with me. | |
| chelseafrew | Days of Our Lives | Will Horton, Sonny Kiriakis | I love Will and Sonny beyond all reason. I love how they support each other and care so deeply about each other. I would love just about anything featuring these two. Anything that fills in gaps would be great, future fic with Arianna would be great--as long as Will and Sonny are the focus, I'll love it. I am a big fan of hurt/comfort (I would prefer Will to be the hurt and Sonny the comfort, but the other way around would also be interesting) and angst (and Will seems to attract angst), so anything involving those would be more than welcome and would make for a happy holiday for me. | letter |
| chelseafrew | Delirium Series - Lauren Oliver | Bram (Delirium), Hunter (Delirium) | I read all three Delirium books over the summer and was completely intrigued by Bram and Hunter. I would love to read more about them. How did they meet? How did they become a couple? What happened to them after the end of Requiem? There's so little in the text, and I wanted so much more. Something about these two would be a wonderful holiday gift. | letter |
| chelseafrew | Kings | Jack Benjamin, Joseph Lasile | This was my favorite show of 2009, bar none. I am a huge fan of the Jack/Joseph pairing, so anything involving them would be awesome (either pre-Pilgrimage or fix-it). If Jack/Joseph does not float your boat (in the way that Jack/David does not float mine), I would be thrilled with a Jack character piece. He was my favorite character and I'd love to see him explored further (either pre-show, missing scene, or what might have happened if the show had been picked up for another season). | letter |
| chelseafrew | Spartacus Series (TV) | Nasir (Spartacus), Agron (Spartacus) | One of my (relatively) new favorite things!! My best friend sat me down and "forced" me to watch this show, and by episode 6 I was hooked. During several subsequent weekends, we finished the whole thing off. By the end, I was totally in love with Agron and Nasir. I would love fic that either fills in some of the gaps (just how did they end up falling for each other? how was their reunion after Nasir thought Agron was dead?) or speculates about what happened to them after the end of the final episode of the series. Just no AUs, please. Whatever fits within canon and strikes you as interesting to write about with these characters will undoubtedly work for me. | letter |
| chelseafrew | Political Animals | Thomas "T. J." Hammond | This show was my favorite thing about the summer of 2012, and T.J. was my favorite character. I would love any story which centers on him. Past, present, future, anything's fine. I am especially curious about his coming out story. Just how did that go? I also particularly loved his relationship with Douglas, so pulling that in would be wonderful (just no twincest, please). The angstier you are able to make things for T.J., the happier I will be. | letter |
| chelseafrew | Best Song Ever - One Direction (Music Video) | Marcel (Best Song Ever) | OK, 1D is my very favorite thing right now. And this video.... This video is the best thing I've seen this year. My request is very simple: More Marcel, please. Feel free to throw in whosoever else you desire, either from the other characters (Jonny, Leeroy, Veronica, Harvey) or the band. As long as Marcel's in the center, I'll be overjoyed. | letter |
| chelseagirl | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Katrina Crane, Jennifer Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | o much I would like to read about this show. Ichabod/Abbie friendship, serious or funny. Ichabod/Katrina romance, backstory or present day. Ichabod/Abbie romance. (Any degree of heat for either of those.) Abbie/Jenny backstory. Any other characters most welcome, especially Corbin or Andy (aka Undead John Cho). Seeing this one as mostly gen or het, would not like to see Abbie/Jenny femslash, although if you can figure out a way to viably write Abbie/Katrina or Abbie/Ichabod/Katrina, I wouldn't say no. |
letter |
| chelseagirl | The Hour | Freddie Lyon, Bel Rowley, Lix Storm, Randall Brown | Any characters friendship. Freddie/Bel, especially post-series and NOT tragic. Lix/Randall. Lix/Bel. Do not mean to exclude Hector or Marnie, who I'd love to see. Would love to see something set after the end of the series, with Freddie alive (either healthy and back on the game or recovering). Would love to see Freddie and Bel backstory, Lix and Randall backstory. Not especially keen on Freddie/Hector slash because I know I can find that. Lix and anyone, het or femslash, yes, please! |
letter |
| chelseagirl | The Middleman (TV) | Wendy Watson, The Middleman, Lacey Thornfield, Noser (The Middleman) | I love this show. Anything about this show makes me happy. Would especially love to see Middleman/Lacey, but really anything, as long as it has the series' spirit, would make me happy, gen, het, femslash, slash. | letter |
| chelseagirl | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Peter Wimsey, Harriet Vane, The Dowager Duchess | Can't get enough of Peter and Harriet. Boring that way. Would love to see the Dowager Duchess, Bunter, and especially Katharine Climpson, should you feel like writing her. Gen or het because . . . Peter/Harriet. | letter |
| chelseagirl | Philip Marlowe - Raymond Chandler | Philip Marlowe (Philip Marlowe Series) | Would love to see casefic. | letter |
| cher | Vatta's War - Elizabeth Moon | Raphael "Rafe" Dunbarger, Kylara Vatta | I would love to read about Ky and Rafe. I was fascinated by Ky's realisations about herself and the kind of person she is, and the way that she and Rafe connected over it. Assassins in love is one of my favourite tropes, and these two characters pinged it... even though neither is technically an assassin. Any story about Ky and Rafe - or even just one of them - would be great. Either set during the books as they get to know one another, or afterwards. I am happy with any rating of fic you want to write. Pregnancy and kidfic are on my dislikes list, though, so I would prefer to avoid that if it's a future!fic. |
letter |
| cher | Creature Court Trilogy - Tansy Rayner Roberts | This is that fandom you request because you just discovered it right before Yuletide and are still flailing about it. (By which I don't mean I will be sad if I match on another fandom, just that I'm having trouble being coherent about my feelings.) My favourite thing was the relationship between Velody and Ashiol, but Writer, if you actually know this canon you have already made my Yuletide. I will be happy with a story about any character or combination of characters, nominated or not. I like gen, slash and het, of any rating. |
letter | |
| cher | Vagrant Story | Sydney Losstarot, Ashley Riot | I request Vagrant Story every Yuletide, and I have gotten some wonderful fics. I crave even more! Love the world, love the characters. I'd love something set post-game, or if you prefer, missing scenes or switched POVs from within the game. If you choose post-game, I'm on board with Sydney corporeal, non-corporeal, or something else entirely. (If your story wants to be about just Ashley or just Sydney, then that's totally cool, too. ) Gen or slash is cool with me. I do ship Ashley and Sydney, so a slash story of whatever rating would be welcome, but please don't think you have to go in that direction. As some ideas, I love the magic and the Dark, and I can't get enough of Ashley learning how to use the Dark (maybe with Sydney for a teacher?). I'd also really enjoy Sydney's early relationship with the Dark and Mullenkamp, if that interests you. Basically I'm a total fangirl for Vagrant Story. I keep requesting it for Yuletide, I keep getting wonderful stories, and I keep wanting more. Author, you can do no wrong here. |
letter |
| cher | Bold as Love Cycle - Gwyneth Jones | Sage Pender, Fiorinda Slater, Ax Preston | This fandom is one of those where I would be overjoyed just to see a story. Any story at all! So if you have something you want to tell, please go ahead, even if it doesn't require all three of the characters listed. (As in, I'm fine if you send characters offscreen for most of the story.) I love this universe, and its politics, and its magic-and-tech systems. I also love the relationships between the characters. I prefer to avoid deathfic for Yuletide, but if you happen to have that story to tell, then please do! I'm happy with gen, threesome, or any combination of m/m and m/f, explicit or not as you prefer. If you'd like a prompt, I'm most interested in the days when the Reich is forming, the period when the three of them first come together as a political (and romantic, if you like) unit, and the time after the close of the series, when the three go off alone. |
letter |
| cher | Demon's Lexicon - Sarah Rees Brennan | Nicholas "Nick" Ryves | Hnikarr, Mae Crawford | I've received awesome Lexicon fic in past Yuletides, and I would be thrilled all over again to read more fic. Please feel free to include any other characters you'd like! I just really love Nick, and I really love Mae. (If you want to write about just Nick or just Mae, that is totally cool, too.) I really enjoy the relationship between Nick and Mae, as friends and/or romantically. I am also a big fan of Sin. I'm most interested in a story set around Covenant or Surrender, or even post-canon, where Nick is a little further along with his emotional development than he is in Lexicon. But, if Lexicon is where your story is, go for it. I am fine with a story with no focus on romance, or with Nick/Mae of any rating. |
letter |
| cher | Matthew Swift Series - Kate Griffin | I love this series. The worldbuilding and the magic systems here are just brilliant, and I'm so fascinated by the way urban sorcery works. I didn't pick a character, because everyone is awesome. I love Matthew, I have a big soft spot for Kelly and I think Penny is just the best fun ever, but I like all of the characters. I admit to a strong fondness for Women Kicking Ass. I've read all the books and the spinoff, and I'm happy with a story set anywhere in the timeline, of any rating. As a thought, I loved Kelly the PA in the Minority Council, and if you were inspired I'm very interested in the world from her perspective. Or, anything about Matthew and the Angels and their relationship I will eat up with a spoon. |

| CherryCoke | Fushigi Yuugi | Chichiri | A story with Chichiri. Slash or anything would be superb. Thank you!! | |
| CherryIce | Generation X (Comic) | I would love to see team-fic! Gen or world building would be great. It could be an exciting adventure or a moment of downtime or the fallout of living the kind of lives that they do. AU or set during the comic or future fic would all be excellent. If you do want to do something shippy, I ship Paige/Angelo and Emma Frost/Awesomeness. |
letter | |
| CherryIce | Pushing Daisies | Olive Snook | I love Olive, and it makes me super sad how the show treated her. I would love something with Olive being awesome, and actually finding out what's been going on. | letter |
| CherryIce | Dead Like Me | I would love future-fic! Ten, twenty, a hundred years on. Or character studies set in the present! Or random crossovers, if they strike your fancy! Basically, I've just been on a DLM kick, and I miss the show greatly. | letter | |
| CherryIce | Dexter (TV) | Fix it, please. Fix it, fix it, fix it. For my money, the show always had to end with Dexter dead or in jail or on the run. At the very least, it had to end with people knowing. There are a variety of things I would love, along that vein. Miami Metro piecing everything together after the finale - exonerating Doakes and figuring out exactly what happened to Maria. Deb making the other choice at the end of S7. Miami Metro figuring it out at any point. As for characters, I will note that I love LaGuerta. I know she's not generally well-liked, but I was rooting for her like I've never rooted for anyone. I know she's not on the character list, but if you choose to use her I'd love if there was no villainization. I actually really like Hannah as well - a character study of her would be awesome, but it really doesn't need to gloss over her flaws. If you do happen to be one of the people who liked the finale, I'd love to see a piece about her and Harrison as the years go by. Really, though, anything you come up with has to be better than what the writers did at the end there. |

| cherryvanilla | The Runaways (2010) RPF | Kristen Stewart (The Runaways RPF), Dakota Fanning (The Runaways RPF) | nything about them filming, having already known each other, the sexual tension of the script and how it makes their friendship blur into something more | letter |
| cherryvanilla | Snow White and the Huntsman RPF | Kristen Stewart (Snow White and the Huntsman RPF), Charlize Theron (Snow White and the Huntsman RPF) | i would be happy with honestly anything. either set while filming or their flirty press tour or a royalty AU or ANYTHING <33 | letter |
| cherryvanilla | The Conjuring (2013) | Brad (The Conjuring), Drew (The Conjuring) | These two had great interactions and background plot. And I shipped it hard. I'd absolutely a story of their extreme differences: belief vs skepticism and the way they form a bond anyway as Brad comes around to believing. Would love to see them staying in touch post-film and Brad awkwardly asking Drew on a date. Getting to know you and first times and all that good stuff. | letter |
| cherryvanilla | Spring Breakers (2012) | Candy (Spring Breakers), Brit (Spring Breakers) | Absolutely anything either post or pre film with lots of sexual tension and maybe one realizing they're completely in love with the other. | letter |
| cherryvanilla | Hockey Twitter Accounts | @BlueJacketsNHL, @LAKings @NYRangers | Would love something in mostly tweet format, highlighting the snark the rangers throw the kings and vice versa and how cbj is amused by it but still so totally clueless that the kings want to be their forever girl until the kings finally break down and are like 'no seriously, you know i'm into you right?' and maybe awkward dates. You could totally take it to the rl dudes behind the accounts too. | letter |
| cherryvanilla | The Breakfast Club (1985) | Brian Johnson, John Bender | Any type of years down the line reunion fic would be wonderful. | letter |
| CheshirePrime | Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle | Vicky Austin, Suzy Austin, Emily Davidson | Any combination of these three, set in any time period, would be just amazing to read. I've been longing to read Emily interacting with her Aunt Vicky from the second I met her, but I'm also fascinated by the push-and-pull of Vicky and Suzy's relationship (as seen in Young Unicorns and Endless Light), and would love to see how (or if!) that changes as they grow older. And then there's always the question of Suzy as a mother -- what's that like? How does she interact with her kids? She mentions feeling like her work takes her away from them too much, but would Emily (or any of the other three, for that matter) agree with that assessment? | letter |
| CheshirePrime | Drina Series - Jean Estoril | o, all of the nominated characters are interesting to me in their own way, and I'd be happy to read about each of them separately or any combination of them. I love Miss Volonaise's talks with Drina in canon and would enjoy seeing that mentorship continue. Something from Mrs. Chester's point of view regarding Drina's dancing would be interesting: maybe the decision to stop her lessons when they move to London? Anything about Igor Senior would be great (what's up with his relationship with his son? why does he keep asking Marianne to marry him when he knows she'll turn him down? etc.)! And Drina herself, I just LOVE. Call me a sucker, but sensible, good-hearted heroines make me smile, and I'd be happy to read anything about her/her friends/her career/her marriage (maybe especially that last one, since the series ends where it does). | letter | |
| CheshirePrime | Emma Frost (comic) | Again, I really do mean "any" here! Cordelia is probably my favorite Frost, but I'd happily read pretty much anything about this family and their interactions. Some ideas: what makes Adrienne such an asshole, and just how deep does that go with her (does she feel justified in her actions? think of herself as a good person? etc.)? How does Hazel feel about any/all of the shit her husband pulls on their kids? What about Christian's relationship with Emma: is she as important to him as he is to her? If you want to write any/all of the Frost kids interacting with each other, I'd be totally thrilled. You can incorporate later canon (Generation X, etc.) for Cordelia and/or Adrienne if you want to, or have Cordelia and Emma interacting in the current universe, or write happy-ending fix-it fic for Christian... basically, anything you want to do would make my Yuletide. Feel free to go as dark as you want, but no incest, please. | letter | |
| CheshirePrime | Hopeless Savages | Zero Hopeless-Savage | I'm asking for Zero because I love her best, but honestly, I would be happy with anything here. Zero and Ginger making a relationship work in college? Rock star Zero out on tour with the Bunnies? Family shenanigans, either in the past or in the present/future? It's up to you! The only thing I really want with this prompt is that you stay with the tone of the canon -- this is a feel-good fandom for me, so I like happy endings and happy families. If you want to explore, say, Rat leaving and how that affects the sibling dynamic for the other three, I'm totally on board with that, as long as you don't leave me a sobbing mess afterward. Cool? Cool. | letter |
| chiana606 | Tanz der Vampire - Steinman/Kunze | Alfred (Tanz der Vampire), Sarah Chagal | There will never be enough fics for me about Alfred and Sarah as post transformation, roaming the world as vampires. I love different takes on what kind of vampires they would be! If you want a prompt, maybe something about how the separate for a century or three, and then accidentally reconnect. How would they see each other? What place would vampires have in modern times (or any era that you choose)? You don't have to pay attention to the prompt, though, and literally anything you write about these two would make me happy. |
letter |
| chiana606 | Newsies!: the Musical - Fierstein/Menken | David Jacobs | I've been really getting into Newsies lately, movie, musical, and everything in between. David/Davey is my favorite character by a landslide. Literally anything about him would be awesome. I would love something about his friendship with Jack, or his friendship with Katherine, or with what he does after the strike. He's such a dork, and I love that about him. :) Here are some prompts (use or ignore them as you see fit. I know some people find prompts helpful, some find they crap their style) *Katherine and Davey talk about something while waiting for Jack to arrive. It could be anything from the weather to Jack himself, with all his annoying quirks. * Something that looks at the difference between David's life at school, and his life with the newsies. I get the feeling he might not have had a lot of close school friends. Maybe he meets somebody from school while he is selling papers, and it's terribly awkward. * Jack/Davey/Katherine OT3? Yes? Maybe? |
letter |
| chiana606 | Dracula: The Musical (Frank Wildhorn) | Mina Harker (Dracula: The Musical), Jonathan Harker (Dracula: The Musical) | I saw Dracula: the musical six times during its very short Broadway run. It's a show that really means a lot to me. I would love something about Mina and Jonathan trying to keep themselves together after the curtain closes and Dracula is dead. I imagine it'd be a rough road for those two. |
letter |
| chiana606 | Little Women Series - Louisa May Alcott | Josephine March, Theodore Laurence | I've asked for Little Women as part of my requests every yuletide so far, and it's always hard to choose what aspects of the book to ask about. I love it so much. The dialogue and the writing style just draws me in like nothing else. The Jo/Laurie relationship is what got me initially hooked on the story, and it's still something I never get bored of. I like them as friends, romantic partners, or anything in between. Actually, it's the in between that I really adore most of all. I like how they are uncommonly close as friends, and it verges on romance, but doesn't quite cross into that territory as much as Laurie tries to make it. I would *love* some kind of hurt/comfort fic. If you do something bad to Jo (ranging from a mild cold to the brutal death of her entire family, seriously, whatever you want) and then send her off to interact with Laurie, I'd really like that. Of course, other things are perfectly fine too. If you wanted to go a different route, maybe something Jo's Boys based exploring the parallels between Jo/Laurie and Nan/Tommy. Or something with a lesbian Jo. I love the idea of Jo with a woman, and Laurie knowing and being okay with it as a best friend ought to be, in spite of the time period and all the issues that come with him having been in love with Jo at one point. |

| Chibifukurou | Sword Art Online | Yuuki Asuna | Asuna, Kirigaya Kazuto | Kirito | I'd love something domesticy, either set in the Game world, or after they rejoin the real world. I just love them being awesome and protecting each other no matter what. I'd love to see what they decided to do after they grew up. Did they get remarried? Or did they go off adventuring together through the various worlds created by the SEED? I am also a huge fan of found family stories, so if you don't want to write anything romantic or domestic, then something about everybody being awesome and kicking but would be great. |
letter |
| Chibifukurou | Otomen | Tachibana Juta, Miyakozuka Ryo, Masamune Asuka | I'd love something about the three characters after they are grown up and living happily together. I'd be happy for Poly, or for the characters to just be best friends who can't seem to go more than a day or two without seeing each other. I just see Juta as the 'cool uncle' to Ryo and Asukas kids. Always dropping in and adding a little craziness to the family. |
letter |
| Chibifukurou | Nabari no Ou | Yoite (Nabari no Ou), Rokujou Miharu | Alternate Timeline, Alternate Universe, Reincarnation, I just want these two to have a chance at a happily ever after. It doesn't have to be 'they all lived happily ever after' since the series isn't that kind of series, but I want something where they find their own sense of peace and are allowed to be together, even if one of them is a ghost, or they run off to hide in some village where there aren't any ninjas. Really I'll love anything you write, I'm such a sucker for these two. That being said, I'd prefer if you didn't have any steamy sex scenes, unless you aged the characters up. |
letter |
| Chibifukurou | Chii's Sweet Home | Youhei (Chii's Sweet Home), Otousan (Chii's Sweet Home), Okaasan (Chii's Sweet Home), Chii (Chii's Sweet Home) | Anything cute and fluffy. I love Chii's antics, but I'd also love to see some of Chii's world from a different perspective. Anything cute and fluffy and full of giggles would be awesome. | letter |
| Chibifukurou | Blade (Movie Series) | Hannibal King (Blade), Drake (Blade), Zoe Sommerfield (Blade) | I love Drake being baddass, Hannibal being a smartass, and Zoe being the only sane one of the bunch. Something that takes place during the movie, an alternate world after the movie where Drake survives, or a complete AU. I've just got a soft-spot for sarcastic people who can still kick butt. Also anything involving happily ever afters, and possibly Hannibal and Drake raising Zoe, or being her crazy uncles if you can work out a way for Sommerfield to be alive. |
letter |
| Chibifukurou | No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | Shion (No. 6), Nezumi (No. 6), Karan (No. 6) | o I love Nezumi and Shion together, both broken in different ways and both trying to protect each other. A scene during the series, or after the series, or an AU, I'd be glad for anything. And if you have Karan mother henning the both of them that would be awesome as well. Just go with your instincts. |
letter |
| chicafrom3 | Everworld Series - K. A. Applegate | April O'Brien, Christopher Hitchcock, David Levin, Jalil Sherman | These kids are frequently at odds with one another, but they are just as frequently emotionally (and physically) dependent on one another, and I'd love to see that explored in fic. There's a lot of ways to take that: during one of the crises during the canonical era of Everworld, dealing with another crisis or taking a down moment post-canon, how it affects their relationships with their families and friends in the real world, the ways their relationships change and evolve as they adjust to permanent residency in Everworld and make more connections with other people. If you feel up to exploring more of Everworld, I'd be interested in seeing the kids deal with gods, heroes, creatures, and peoples from cultures the books didn't deal with directly. All the cultures the books did deal with directly could still use more fleshing out, too; I'm a particular fan of the Viking, Aztec, African, and Irish parts of the books, as well as the Coo-Hatch, but I'd love to see more detail on any of them. I'd also be interested in seeing more detail about how dealing with Everworld affected their real-world lives prior to the last book. If you want to include shippiness, that's cool with me; I ship basically everything, both within the group and with supporting characters. My only note would be that I'm not comfortable with incest, so please no Senna/April. If you don't want to include shippiness, that's also cool with me; the complicated friendship of these four is the reason I'm here! |
letter |
| chicafrom3 | Everything Has Changed - Taylor Swift/Ed Sheeran (Music Video) | Blonde Girl (Everything Has Changed), Redheaded Boy (Everything Has Changed) | The way I see it there's two tracks you could take to write about these two characters: either explore their day of adventure in more detail, or explore what happens to them in the future as they grow up. I would be happy with either! Tell me how the boy convinced the girl to give him a tattoo, or how she convinced him to try yoga, or whose copy of The Notebook that was, or whose idea the fake iPhones were, or whether they got into trouble for all the sneaking off they did. Or tell me how they grew up: whether they stayed close, or drifted apart and came back together; what school was like for them after that; if their futures were informed or influenced by each other. I am completely open to either platonic BFFness or future shippiness, as long as these two are in some way important to one another. |
letter |
| chicafrom3 | Hellblazer | Cheryl Masters (Hellblazer), Gemma Masters (Hellblazer) | I'm requesting specifically Gemma and Cheryl because their role in the story of John Constantine fascinates me. They're so peripheral to him so much of the time, but when their lives intersect it always involves major life-changing trauma -- and it's as frequently not his fault as it is directly his fault. So that's what I'd really like to see explored in fic, whether that's coping with the aftermath of one of the canon incidents or what their lives are like when he's not around. I'd also really love further exploration of their relationship with one another; Cheryl only wants her daughter to be safe, and Gemma's fascination with the occult scares the hell out of her. And it's Cheryl's death and subsequent decision to stay in Hell that drives Gemma's lasting resentment of and anger with her uncle. If you'd prefer to focus on one character or the other, that is also okay with me! I'd love to see more of Cheryl and John's childhood, or what brought Cheryl and Tony together, or how being a Constantine affects Cheryl's life; or how Gemma's desire for magical power influences and is infulenced by her desire for normality, or how Gemma deals with the aftermath of her encounter with the Demon Constantine, or whether or not Gemma does end up carrying on the Constantine curse. I'd also love to see either or both characters interacting with other Hellblazer characters, like Chas, Renee, John's various girlfriends, Map, Clarice, Tefé Holland (if you're familiar with Swamp Thing), or others. |
letter |
| chicafrom3 | Murder Ballad - Nash/Jordan | Narrator (Murder Ballad) | Please don't read this section if you are not familiar with the ending of Murder Ballad. I've spoiler-cut it in my letter. That said: I've requested the Narrator because of that ending. She stands there and tells the audience "I'm not erasable/I'm not erasable, I'm not", after having spent almost an hour and a half erasing herself from her own story. Why does she erase herself? Does she subconsciously agree with Tom's POV, that this is Sara's story and not hers? Is she just trying to shift the guilt elsewhere by downplaying her role in things? Or is she trying to prove that she's not erasable, by showing how the story is incomplete until her role in it is acknowledged? I think there's also a lot of room to explore the Narrator in backstory (what attracted her to Tom in the first place, aside from his eyes? was the confrontation in the bar really the first indication she had that he was cheating on her?) and future fic (is the murder ever solved? where does she go from here?). I'd just really love to see anything exploring her place in the universe. |
letter |
| chicafrom3 | Secret of Kells (2009) | Brother Aidan | I've requested Brother Aidan in large part because so much of his story is untold. I'd love to see anything diving into his life in more detail, whether that's his time at Iona, his time at Kells, or his time teaching Brendan after they left Kells. What led him to become a monk? How did he earn the reputation of 'perfect illuminator'? How did he and Pangur meet? What's his backstory with the Abbot? What was the Viking attack at Iona really like for him, and how did he escape? Why did he stay at Kells despite clashing so much with the Abbot? What was his relationship with the other brothers at Kells like? How did he feel, leaving Kells with the belief that everyone or almost everyone but he and Brendan had perished (so basically reliving the Iona attack)? Did Brendan ever tell him about Aisling, and if so, what did he think? What kind of pupil was Brendan, really, in the long run? So many possibilities! | letter |
| chicafrom3 | Smash (TV) | Ivy Lynn, Leigh Conroy | The way the relationship between the two of them develops is fascinating to me. Leigh is a person who is used to taking up all the space in a room, used to being the one and only star, and Ivy is just learning how to stand up and demand that same attention. And even when Leigh starts learning how to be more supportive of her daughter's career, she's still not shy about pointing out her own star power -- the scene where she tells Ivy to practice her disappointment face for when Leigh wins the Supporting Actress Tony instead of her encapsulates their relationship in a nutshell. I'd love to see further exploration of their relationship, whether that be backstory (Leigh missing Ivy's school and camp performances, the Tony acceptance speech where she didn't mention her daughter), canon-era (we never really see Leigh's reaction to Ivy finally getting the part for real, or the fallout from the Hang The Moon rehearsal), or post-canon (how does their relationship change now that Ivy's career is building, or with the birth of Ivy's child). I know the Derek/Ivy ship is controversial, and to be honest I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it either. So if you choose to write canon-era or post-canon fic, it's up to you whether they're together or not. I promise I'll be fine either way. |
letter |
| chicagoartnerd | Holes (2003) | Hector Zeroni, Stanley Yelnats, Katherine Barlow, Sam (Holes 2003) | I would really like a fix it fic with Kate and Sam or at least the murder adventures of Kissing Kate Barlow. If you want to splice that into a Zero and Stanely falling in love story, kinda like the movie did, that would be amazing! | |

| Chimerari | Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell | Rufus Sixsmith (Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell), Robert Frobisher (Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell) | I'm partial to Frobisher/Sixsmith, either set in the same verse or AU, happy ending not necessary. I just want an exploration of those two characters since both in the film and book, the relationship is pretty much seen from Robert's POV. Again, happy with either book or film verse. | |
| Chimerari | Now You See Me (2013) | J. Daniel Atlas | either gen character study or pair him up with whoever you're comfortable with (cross-over welcome too) | |
| Chimerari | The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011) | Micheletto (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)), Cesare Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)) | would prefer slash but gen is completely fine too. canon timeline or modern AU, I'd welcome genderswap with open arms. | |
| Chimerari | Brideshead Revisited (2008) | Sebastian Flyte, Charles Ryder | Prefer slash but gen/friendhip is awesome too. | |
| Chimerari | Literary RPF | Arthur Rimbaud (Literary RPF), Paul Verlaine (Literary RPF) | either canon timeline or modern AU, just make it angsty and twisted | |
| ChokolatteJedi | Tricksters - Tamora Pierce | Alianne Cooper, Dovasary Balitang, Nawat Crow, Kyprioth (Tortall) | Basically I am so starved for anything in this fandom that I'll take whatever you give me. Aly or Kyprioth being sneaky and awesome? Done! Aly and Nawat being all adorable together? Fantastic! Nawat courting Aly or taking care of their nestlings with her? Sweet! Aly and Dove being all awesome and/or perhaps slightly shippy together? Love! Kyprioth sending them off on another task/adventure? Wonderful! Please please please! I will really take ANYTHING you are willing to give me in this world. |
letter |
| ChokolatteJedi | MASH (TV) | Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce (Mash TV) | I love Hawkeye! I think there is so much depth to him, and he's really got levels to explore. He's also witty, hilarious, crazy, and adorable. I love the dynamic he has with Margaret through the series, and also his dynamics with Trapper and BJ. These can all lean towards shippy or platonic. I also love Hawkeye and Trapper/BJ/Klinger/Radar getting up to hyjinks, and Radar being awesome. Potter, Henry, Mulcahy and Sidney are welcome to come along for the ride. And Frank or Charles too of course. A fic set during any season, with any supporting cast, but focused around Hawkeye would be fabulous! | letter |
| ChokolatteJedi | Eureka | Jack Carter | omething set early in the series please, before they started messing with timelines and getting all crazy. Jack! Jack driving Jo or Nathan crazy! Jack being driven crazy by SARAH/Zoe/Fargo/Nathan/anyone in this town! Jack and Zane WhiteCollar-esque banter! Vincent or Henry being friends with Jack. Will-they-won't-they with Jack and Alison or Nathan or both! Or Jack, gen, just chilling or doing paperwork or anything. Basically give me something Jack-centric in this world and I will be a happy camper! :) |
letter |
| ChokolatteJedi | Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede | Cimorene (Enchanted Forest), Kazul (Enchanted Forest), Morwen (Enchanted Forest) | omething set during Cimorene's time as Kazul's princess please! I'd love to see what happened after Kazul was made King of the Dragons. Just a day in the life, or another adventure would both be great. Or something Morwen-centric. Maybe a day in her life around that same time? You don't have to include all three characters in one story if your muse isn't going that way. Just one of two is fine too. | letter |
| ChokolatteJedi | Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey | Sorka Hanrahan | Okay, I know I just listed Sorka, but I really love anything about the Landing era. Or the post-landing era. Anything in her lifetime. I love Sorka, Sean, Sallah, Pol and Bay, Emily and Paul, and all of the other initial dragonriders. So any of them popping up would be fun! I'd love something set either during Sorka's childhood, during the missing 8 years, or during the time just after the transition North, when they're getting the idea of a weyr together. But really, anything else in her lifetime would be great too, as I said. | letter |
| ChokolatteJedi | Ghost Soup Infidel Blue | Okay, what I really want here is an alternative POV of the octopi saga from Indigo. They had to be more than mindless drones under the control of Dr. Zoill. I mean, what was their motivation? From their own POV? What were they fighting for? Alternatively Ryan/Josh. Working out, training, getting 'cramps' and needing sensual, UST-filled massages to 'fix' them, pranking Luke when they were done and bored. You know, the usual. ;) If none of that is your cup of tea, then I'm always up for some good old fashioned Moira/Angela/Angela's Clone girly night sexy times. There could even be pillow fights! | letter | |
| Chosenfire | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), John Diggle (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV) | Favorite character is Oliver Queen, favorite pairings are Oliver/Diggle, Oliver/Felicity, Oliver/Diggle/Felicity, and Oliver/Slade. Please see my letter for my likes/dislikes and some prompts for the fandom. |

| Chosenfire | Fast and the Furious Series | Brian O'Conner, Dominic Toretto | Favorite character is Brian O'Conner, favorite pairing is Brian/Dominic (although I am also fond of Brian/Dom/Mia). Please see my letter for my likes/dislikes and some prompts for the fandom. |
letter |
| Chosenfire | This Means War (2012) | Franklin "FDR" Foster, Tuck Hansen | Favorite character is FDR, favorite pairing is FDR/Tuck. Please see my letter for my likes/dislikes and some prompts for the fandom. |
letter |
| Chosenfire | The Originals (TV) | Rebekah Mikaelson, Elijah Mikaelson. Klaus Mikaelson | My favorite character is a tie between Rebekah and Elijah (with Rebekah edging her way forward but I genuinely love them both). I love their relationship with Klaus and each other and how they function as a family. Favorite pairings are Rebekah/Stefan, Klaus/Stefan, Rebekah/Klaus, Rebekah/Klaus/Stefan, Klaus/Hayley, Rebekah/Hayley, Elijah/Hayley, and Rebekah/Elijah/Klaus. I wouldn't mind if the story was focused on the sibling relationship or on more romantic aspects. Please see my letter for my likes/dislikes and some prompts for the fandom. |
letter |
| Chosenfire | Shameless (US) | Fiona Gallagher | My favorite character in the series is Fiona Gallagher and I adore her relationship with her siblings. Besides her I also love Ian and Lip and anything with them and Fiona would be great. Please see my letter for my likes/dislikes and some prompts for the fandom. |

| ChristyCorr | Thursday Next - Jasper Fforde | I would love to get a glimpse of fanfiction in Thursday's world. How are all those abandoned kinkmeme prompts doing in the Well? How do Jurisfiction handle conflicts between fanon and canon characters in BookWorld? Alternatively, if crossover's more your cup of tea: it would be awesome to see the insides of a still-under-copyright book series like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Discworld (any others would be welcome too!). Or! PICKWICK: A MEMOIR, oh my God, that would be beyond incredible. <3 I have so much love for Thursday's world and everything and everyone in it, from Colonel Next to Zvlkx—knock yourself out, I'll adore anything you write! (Especially if there are footnotes! I love Fforde footnotes!) | letter | |
| ChristyCorr | Masters of Rome - Colleen McCullough | I would love anything in this 'verse—a character study would be brilliant, a fresh take on an actual historical event would be equally amazing, any kind of AU (really. any.) would also blow my mind. Anything Caesar-centric would be fantastic—I love his interactions with Servilia, in particular, they're so deliciously fucked up—but, speaking of fucked-up, I really really love Sulla too, so if you want to tackle him, by all means do so! The women in the series are unbelievably awesome, and I would be thrilled to see something centred on any of them (Aurelia! <3 <3), especially the ones who don't get that much of a spotlight—Marius's Julia comes to mind, for one. I love the way the narration outwardly subscribes to the traditional Roman way of looking at women, only to undermine it at every turn. In short: these are all just random ideas, just pick something you like and run away with it, I'll love it no matter what. Publius Rutilius Rufus letterfic? Bring it on. First Triumvirate crackfic? Hell yes. Livia Drusa angst? Yessss. Caesarion what-if fic? Oh my God, yes. Calpurnia POV? Whoo! Nicomedes IV and Mithridates banterfic? Shiny! A touching, heartbreaking narration centred on Caesar's horse Toes? I might just love you forever. I have a soft spot for tribunes of the plebs, so if you want to deal with Roman politics, holy fuck, go to town, that would be perfection. | letter | |
| ChristyCorr | Sweep - Cate Tiernan | I belatedly realise I should've noticed this fandom's tag listing was missing so many characters before nominations ended, so anyway—feel free to ignore this suggestion, but one character I would really love to know more about is Ciaran MacEwan. I don't mean you need to justify any of the absolutely horrible things he's done—I like him just as awful as he is in canon, with his backwards reasonings for all the crap he's pulled—but he's fascinating nonetheless, and his relationship with Maeve sounds like it could have been brilliant, if rather unhealthy. This pairing pushes all my buttons for fucked-up dynamics, and I would really love to see more of them somehow—a slight AU, or a missing moment that we didn't get to see in the series. But! Optional prompt details are optional. I love Sky, too, and Raven, and Selene, so anything centred on them would be amazing! Hunter is also brilliant—and Morgan, ohh, either growing or grown-up Morgan, she's just so very interesting, and there's always so much potential there! It would be fantastic to read more about Morgan and Hunter post-series, or anything Moira-centric. | letter | |
| ChristyCorr | La Femme Nikita | Crap, I completely forgot to add characters to this tag set, too. Okay! So, here's an option with characters you may not want to deal with at all: if things had turned out differently, maybe Elena and Nikita would've had to learn how to live with each other—probably without a lot of help or input from Michael, considering all his...Michaelness. This can be friendshipfic, hatefic, USTfic, piningfic, Nikita/Michael, Elena/Michael, Nikita/Elena, Nikita/Elena/Michael, whichever you prefer; I'm not picky. I would also love to have a closer look at Madeline—I really adore watching her manipulate everyone, and find her personality endlessly fascinating—or Birkhoff—who got a really rough deal in the show, and whom I'd love to actually get to know in more detail. Operations could be really awesome too! Missionfic, characterfic, gen or shippy, do as you will! | letter | |
| cienna | Free! | Tachibana Makotom Nanase Haruka | Haruka is absolutely my favorite character in Free! I just adore him and his obsession with water as well as his adorable semi-married relationship with Makoto. My favorite part in the series is probably when Makoto was worried and waited at Haruka's house for him to come home. So sweet! I would love anything with the two of them having misunderstandings that impedes them getting together, someone getting hurt, or any sort of angst. I also love all the other characters in the show, especially Rei, Nagisa, and Gou, so feel free to include them as well if you're so inclined. I've seen all of the anime and listened to both the drama CDs, so everything is fair game. | letter |
| cienna | K (Anime) | Yatogami Kurou, Isana Yashiro | The end of this anime basically killed me. So beautiful! What I would really love is a fix-it fic where they find each other again after Shiro disappears. Maybe with a bit of angst and pining thrown in on Kuroh's part. He has to continue living his life, traveling around with Neko, but he never gives up on finding Shiro. Alternately I would enjoy a cute first time fic involving h/c that takes place before Shiro disappears or a fic involving a trope like amnesia, demons (whatever) made them do it, mindbonding, etc. | letter |
| cienna | Whitechapel (TV) | Joseph Chandler, Emerson Kent | I just recently started watching Whitechapel and I really love both the creepy disturbing atmosphere and the characters. I would particularly enjoy some sort of h/c scenario involving Kent and Chandler, leading to a first time. I absolutely love pining and oblivious characters so you can see why this pairing appeals to me! I also really love Miles so I would be happy to have him involved or any of the other characters from the show. And based on what we've seen so far in the show I definitely wouldn't be surprised to see Miles matchmaking. Alternately if you prefer gen, I would be happy with some h/c without a first time and maybe just a fic developing their friendship. | letter |
| cienna | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | Stephen Maturin, Jack Aubrey | I adore this series of books! I have read up to The Yellow Admiral so I am fine with spoilers up until that point or even something based on just the film canon. The heart of the book for me is definitely Jack and Stephen's relationship so anything dealing with that is going to be a win. I love how they are kind of opposites, with Jack being completely useless on land and Stephen being kind of inept with sea-related things, and the humor that goes along with that. It can be either platonic friendship or slashy, I am good with either. I love h/c, so something where one of them gets hurt or is threatened in some way and the other one freaks out would be amazing. I also love fandom tropes like mindbonding, amnesia, demons (whatever) made them do it, omegaverse, survival!fic, etc. I really like Sophie, so I'm fine with her being mentioned or included, but I'm not a big fan of Diana, purely because of all the crap she puts Stephen through. For me Jack and Stephen are basically married, so I'm good with either established relationship or first time for them. | letter |
| cienna | Rush (2013) | Niki Lauda (Rush), James Hunt (Rush) | I absolutely loved Lauda and Hunt's relationship in the film and how it changes over time from annoyance to tolerance to feelings deeper than either of them would care to admit. My very favorite scene in the film is when Hunt beat up the reporter who asked Lauda the question about his wife and suddenly you realize just how much Hunt actually cares. I don't think James quite realized the extent of his own feelings until Niki's accident either. I love h/c so anything with James visiting Niki in the hospital or that takes place after the accident would make me very happy, and I would be fine with that leading to a first time. Angsty, confused, antagonistic sex that takes place before they realize their feelings for each other would also be amazing! | letter |
| cimera | Cracked: After Hours (web series) | Soren Bowie (Cracked: After Hours), Michael Swaim (Cracked: After Hours), Katie Willert (Cracked: After Hours), Daniel O'Brien (Cracked: After Hours) | I'd love to see one of the scenarios from their discussions happening in real life, or them doing something other than sitting in the restaurant. Gen or any pairing :) | letter |
| cimera | John Carter (2012) | John Carter (Barsoom), Dejah Thoris, Woola (Barsoom) | Woola is my favourite! Something post-movie would be awesome! | letter |
| cimera | Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) | William Brandt, Jane Carter (Mission: Impossible), Ethan Hunt (Ghost Protocol), Benji Dunn (Ghost Protocol) | I'd love to see another mission for the new team, or maybe some team biulding activities (Ethan Hunt style!) since they are a new team. I'm partial to Ethan/William, but gen is also great! | letter |
| cimera | Vatta's War - Elizabeth Moon | Kylara Vatta, Raphael "Rafe" Dunbarger | omething post-series would be great...maybe something about them making their relationship work in the future. | letter |
| Cinaed | Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant | Delilah Dirk, Erdemoglu Selim | I love Delilah and Selim's dynamic! I would love another adventure, or maybe even a story where Delilah takes him to meet her mother and hilarity ensues. I just really love Delilah's awesomeness and Selim's reluctant enjoyment of the danger they're constantly in. I would be happy for fic where they are platonic life partners or fic where they are together, whatever you're comfortable with! | letter |
| Cinaed | Boy Meets World | Eric Matthews, Jack Hunter | I love Eric/Jack as a pairing-- I love how they complement each other, with Jack keeping Eric from going overboard and Eric bringing out Jack's better nature. I would love anything for this pairing, whether it's set during their time at Pennbrooke or post-finale when Jack and Rachel have gotten back from their stint in the Peace Corps and visit or move to New York City. I also love Rachel, so PLEASE no Rachel bashing! I think she is funny and awesome, and I love her friendships with Jack and Eric. | letter |
| Cinaed | Sword Song - Rosemary Sutcliff | Muirgoed (Sword Song), Aud (Sword Song) | I would love something at any point in Muirgoed and Aud's relationship. I am fascinated by how Muirgoed and Aud became friends despite Muirgoed being dethroned and enslaved, and how Muirgoed's past has become an in-joke between them. I would also love about their adventures together with Erp post-canon off in Iceland! I definitely would love fic with them together, but if you are more comfortable with them as close friends, I am equally happy about awesome ladies being friends! | letter |
| Cinaed | Blood Feud - Rosemary Sutcliff | Jestyn Englishman, Anders Herulfson, Alexia (Blood Feud) | I love all three characters, and would love anything about them, especially fix-it fic where everyone lives, although if you want to stick to canon I would be really interested in Alexia observing Jestyn and Anders and hearing her thoughts on their relationship. I would also really love Jestyn/Alexia and Jestyn/Anders poly fic and seeing how Anders fits into the household. | letter |
| Cinaed | Some Like It Hot (1959) | Jerry "Daphne", Osgood Fielding III | Daphne and Osgood's relationship is so perfect. I would love something post-canon, where Jerry learns more about himself and he's comfortable and feels right as both Jerry and Daphne, and Osgood being supportive. Maybe something about Osgood becoming interested in Jerry as well as Daphne? | letter |
| Cinaed | Rod Allbright Alien Adventures - Bruce Coville | Flinge "Snout" Iblik, Grakker | I would be happy with pretty much anything about this series, but here are a few ideas if you need some! I love Snout/Grakker as a pairing, how Grakker is only nice to Snout and how Snout obviously cares for Grakker as well. I'd love to see how they become friends and then lovers (come on, they were bonded and lived in the same room, they were so together). If you're not into the pairing, I'd also love something about the first adventures of the good ship Ferkel, as Grakker, Snout, and the crew get to know each other. | letter |
| Cinco | Being of Two Minds - Pamela F. Service | Connie Hendricks, Rudolf of Thulgaria | Futurefic would be adored, but anything in this universe would be outstanding. Lots more details in my author letter if you want them--for each of my requests! | letter |
| Cinco | The Importance of Being Earnest - Wilde | Algernon "Algy" Moncrieff (Earnest - Wilde), Jack "Ernest" Worthing (Earnest - Wilde) | I'm not a fan of the most recent (Rupert Everett) film, so I'd prefer you not include canon details from that work. | letter |
| Cinco | Sleepless In Seattle (1993) | Jonah Baldwin, Jessica (Sleepless In Seattle) | Futurefic would be amazing! Romance not required. | letter |
| Cinco | Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle | Charles Wallace Murry | I've specified Charles Wallace, but I'd be more than happy to read about many other characters--Polly, Zachary, Sandy and Dennys, for starters--either in addition or instead of Charles Wallace. I'm less interested in the Davidsons and Emily, so I would appreciate it if you didn't concentrate on them. | letter |
| cinemascope | Breaking Bad | Skyler White, Marie Schrader | Past fic perhaps? | letter |
| cinemascope | Parks and Recreation | Ann Perkins | Crossover would be great (with New Girl/Brooklyn Nine Nine maybe? idk). But just generally more Ann being Ann! | letter |
| cinemascope | Young Avengers | Teddy Altman (Young Avengers), Noh-Varr (Young Avengers) | One thing leads to another... | letter |
| cinemascope | Mad Men | Sally Draper | lly's life from the 70s onwards would be awesome | letter |
| cinemascope | Greek Mythology | Apollo (Greek Mythology), Hyacinthus (Greek Mythology) | ||
| cjmarlowe | Mine vaganti | Loose Cannons (2010) | Tommaso Cantone, Marco (Loose Cannons) | Tomasso and Marco are just so adorable together and I really want to see more of them (and their friends), especially back in Rome either before or after Tomasso's visit to his family in the film. The family issues in the film are very (but not exclusively) generational, and while I think it's all really interesting, that's a struggle I'd like to see backgrounded to focus more on the way Tomasso is living his life outside of the influence of his family. Which isn't to say I don't want to see him talking about it, because obviously it's a huge part of what he's dealing with, but there's also a lot more to his life. Alternatively, I'd also be interested in seeing something about Tomasso's relationship with his brother, particularly after the film when they're both out but have lived their lives so far in very different ways. |
letter |
| cjmarlowe | Promised Land - Connie Willis & Cynthia Felice | Delanna Milleflores, Cadiz Flaherty | The truth is that I would love anything for this fandom, about any character, because there's pretty much nothing out there right now. But more specifically, I want to see more of Delanna and Cadiz's friendship, especially as Delanna settles in to her home and learns more about the way of life there. There is just so much world to explore here--literally an entire planet--that you could have them doing just about anything. I'd love to see more of it, through the eyes of (relative) newcomer Delanna or jaded native Cadiz, either way. And if you want to go somewhere completely different with it...what if it was Cadiz Delanna had been betrothed to and not Sonny? | letter |
| cjmarlowe | Beware the Batman (Cartoon) | Tatsu Yamashiro (Beware the Batman), Alfred Pennyworth (Beware the Batman) | The show has given us a little bit of the backstory relationship between Alfred and Tatsu and I've really love to see that explored and expanded in fic. I'd also be interested in backstory on one or the other of them for this particular universe, or if you offered 'any' and are looking for something completely different, I'd be happy to see something on the trials of raising young Barbara Gordon. :) Really, I'm all about how these characters arrived at where the series started. Alfred is one serious badass and Tatsu is still sort of in her origin story (though she is also already one serious badass). However, if you'd rather go in an action or casefic direction rather than backstory--which I would also be happy to receive--my favourite villains that have shown up in this canon so far are probably Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad, and I think the ecoterrorism angle they're going with is really interesting, but I'd be happy with any of them (including ones that haven't shown up yet). There's nothing that I don't want to see here, though I don't ship any of the main characters with each other. |
letter |
| cjmarlowe | Rebel Without a Cause (1955) | Jim Stark, Buzz Gunderson | There's a moment in the movie, right before the chickie race, when Buzz and Jim are standing on the cliff and Jim lights a cigarette and Buzz just reaches over and takes it out of his mouth and smokes it, and I've always thought that was one of the most unexpectedly sexy things I've ever seen. It precedes the iconic lines that really sum up that whole teen genre ("Why do we do this?" asks Jim. "You've gotta do something, now don't you?" says Buzz) and the entire interaction just makes me want more of them. So I'd love to see what would have happened between them if Buzz hadn't died that night. Slash is excellent, but friendship (whatever form that might end up taking) between them is welcome too. | letter |
| cjmarlowe | The Cabin in the Woods (2011) | Ancient Ones (Cabin in the Woods) | My desire here is simple: I'd like to see a past scenario (or part of a past scenario--preparation, selection, long-term planning, aftermath, whatever) play out. Could be recent past, could be ancient past, could be in the U.S. or in a different country with entirely different horror tropes. Could have all of the characters from the movie or none of them (which is why I specified only the Ancient Ones--their presence is the only essential thing though you don't necessarily have to write them, they're just present and driving everything that everyone does to keep them appeased.) It's the whole behind-the-scenes machinations that I really dig about the movie and want to see more of. | letter |
| cjmarlowe | Murdoch Mysteries | William Murdoch, James Pendrick | Despite their rocky (understatement!) start, Murdoch and Pendrick have formed a kind of a friendship now and I especially love watching them bond over science. In another world, where Julia and Darcy remained happily married and Murdoch had to seek out someone else to spend his life with, I wonder what would have happened if he and Pendrick had fallen into something. There are a lot of complications to think of, not the least of which being the era and Murdoch's faith, but that's a big part of what makes it interesting to me. Alternatively, any story with William and James (and Julia) geeking out over some new scientific discovery would make me very happy. Either way, it's important to me that Julia remain a central figure in William's life, even if they aren't romantically involved. Also important: Science! | letter |
| clare_dragonfly | The Coldest Girl in Coldtown - Holly Black | ANYTHING set in this universe OMG. (Lots of suggestions in my DYW letter.) | letter | |
| clare_dragonfly | Defiance (TV) | Stahma Tarr, Datak Tarr | Anything about Stahma and Datak would be pretty much amazing. I am especially interested in an AU from the end of season 1 where they don't just stand there and wait to be caught. (Lots more ideas in my DYW letter.) | letter |
| clare_dragonfly | Empire Records (1995) | Deb (Empire Records) | Anything about Deb would be awesome. (More ideas in my DYW letter.) | letter |
| clare_dragonfly | Alphas | Kat (Alphas) | Anything about Kat, especially her mysterious past, would be awesome. (More ideas in my DYW letter.) | letter |

| clio_jlh | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | Gosh, anything would be great, from antagonism to femslash. Mission-fic or just another day on the jet, I mostly want to watch them interact and see those sparks fly. I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and please no character death or darkfic. | letter |
| clio_jlh | New Girl | Jessica Day (New Girl), Cece Parekh | Friendship or femslash, futurefic or first meeting, it matters not, so long as it centers on Cece and Jess's awesome relationship. I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and please no character death or darkfic. | letter |
| clio_jlh | Clueless (1995) | Cher Horowitz, Dionne Davenport | Friendship or femslash, futurefic or first meeting, it matters not, so long as it centers on Cher and Dionne's awesome relationship. I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and please no character death or darkfic. | letter |
| clio_jlh | Project Runway (US) RPF | Dom Streater (Project Runway) | he's my favorite, she's so talented and yet the judges weirdly ignored her all season until almost the end. Do what you will here, because if you offered this then you know what I mean. I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and please no character death or darkfic. | letter |
| Clone | Armageddon (1998) | Harry Stamper | I love this movie so much! It's kitschy, and campy, and not really scientifically plausible, but I don't care because it makes me laugh every single time and get all teary at the end every single time! I love Harry's rough, caring, smart way, and the way he just effortlessly leads these crazy men to actually save the world. I love Chick and Rockhound and how they, like the others, have their human flaws, but are also just so devoted to Harry and Grace and the team. I love how he's tried to be a good parent and boss for what it's worth, though others might disagree. I'm not even sure what I want here, other than more of this world! | letter |
| Clone | Ghost Soup Infidel Blue | What I really, really want in this fandom is gratuitous swash-buckling and snark. Any characters being their swashbuckley selves, and Bipi and/or Angela's Clone snarking at them while they do it. Maybe Ryan swashbuckling and snarking simultaneously?

| Clone | Warm Bodies (2013) | Oh my god someone nommed this!!! Thank you! I want anything! I love this world, and R's crazy narration style, and the slow change, and the family dynamic between Julie and her dad and please just give me more of all of it!!! | letter | |
| Clone | Watchmen (2009) | Ozymandias (Watchmen 2009) | per-villains for the win! I love villains who know that they are doing something wrong, but are doing it for what they think is the better good. I want more of Ozzy's thought process. How did he come up with this idea? How does he justify it? Has he ever had doubts? What about splicing together his crazy pet? How did he feel about her death? Was she just one more body or did he regret her loss? And afterwards, does he still think he has won? Or did anything the others said sink in? Basically I really just want to revel in his evil genius. |
letter |
| Clone | Dogma (1999) | Bartleby (Dogma), Loki (Dogma), Metatron (Dogma) | This can totally be an 'or' prompt. I'd love to see something more of the Bartleby/Loki (or Bartleby & Loki) relationship. Something back when they were Angels, first adapting to life on earth, or just a day in the life before they decide to go on their quest. Maybe one or the other contemplating their place in the world now, or a snippet of Loki just wantonly destroying things. Alternatively, I'd love something about the Metatron. Just, what does he do all day? What did he used to do? Does he have less to do now that God isn't all Old Testament-y interfering in things all the time? Actual Biblical knowledge not required, but if you've got it, go for it. Maybe him debating about calling Bethany? Was he there when Loki 'gave God the finger' and was banished? What was that like from either point of view? Or from God's? | letter |
| cnoocy | A Visit to William Blake's Inn - Nancy Willard | This book is so beautiful and I love the feel of it. It's neat to have a story that's a bit related to Blake's worldview. Extremely optional prompt #1: Do these characters stay in touch with each other throughout their lives? Extremely optional prompt #2: How did these characters find themselves going to William Blake's Inn? |
letter | |
| cnoocy | Celestial Matters - Richard Garfinkle | This is a world that's fascinatingly similar and different to ours. There's a lot going on, and it's brain-expanding to think about. Extremely optional prompt #1: What's this world like in other places and/or times? Extremely optional prompt #2: How did this world change after the events of the book? |
letter | |
| cnoocy | Fox Steals Cell Phone and Sends Text Message (November 2012 News Story) | I love the idea that we have this text that originated in some way from a non-human sender. It's very tempting to try to get some meaning out of it. Extremely optional prompt #1: What was this event like from the fox's point of view? Extremely optional prompt #2: Does the text indeed have some sort of meaning? |
letter | |
| cnoocy | Revolution 9 (Song) | his is the crazy one, but if you signed up for it, I believe you can do it. Any sort of narrative made out of the content of this song would just be awesome. | letter | |
| cobweb_diamond | Blancanieves (2012) | Rafita (Blancanieves), Carmen (Blancanieves) | A post-movie happily-ever-after for Rafita and Snow White, please! | letter |
| cobweb_diamond | Baker Street (Comic) | Sharon Ford (Baker Street), Sam Neville (Baker Street), Inspector Pinner (Baker Street) | I would LOVE some Sharon/Sam femslash. Either backstory, or an AU future that ignores the unhappy ending in the comics. Sharon and Sam together please, although it doesn't have to be fluff or anything -- they're not exactly fluffy people. | letter |
| cobweb_diamond | Hackers (1995) | Kate "Acid Burn" Libby, Dade "Zero Cool/Crash Overide" Murphy | I would love a post-movie date between Crash and Burn! It could be years in the future if you like or established relationship. But Dade makes good on his promise to wear a dress when they go on a date. It definitely doesn't have to be porn -- a G-rated date would be fine, as long as Dade is wearing a dress and they're both totally chill with it! | letter |
| cobweb_diamond | Alien: Resurrection (1997) | Annalee Call, Ellen Ripley (Alien: Resurrection (1997)) | Post movie Annalee Call/Ellen Ripley, please! :) | letter |
| coeurdepic | My Imaginary Well-Dressed Toddler Daughter | Feel free to go nuts with this fandom! I would love anything from more pinboard entries (with pics, if possible) in the style of canon, to the rules for games like Angry Silence and Modern Art Installation, to a more traditional fic about any bit of canon that tickles your fancy--what's it like parenting an avant-garde prodigy? How does friendship survive when navigating the rocky shoals of your bestie's bad hair decisions? You're probably not dying to write porn for this one but, if you are, please age characters up as appropriate--other than that, anything goes! | letter | |
| coeurdepic | Olympics RPF | Alexander Ovechkin (Olympics RPF), Maria Kirilenko (Olympics RPF) | Okay, I really only have one main idea for this fandom: what if Maria actually did hit Alex with her tennis racket when he misbehaved, and what if he liked it? /o\ If that is not your thing, please feel free to ignore me and write whatever you like, seriously. Something about Alex spending his summers traipsing around after Maria to various tournaments/the Olympics would be especially pleasing, or maybe the two of them getting competitive about their respective sports (a Cutting Edge-style scene of Maria learning to shoot pucks would be extra awesome, if you're into that)? Or whatever else you like! Obviously I ship them, but any rating is fine and the romantic relationship doesn't have to be in the foreground if you don't want it to be. | letter |
| coeurdepic | Goon (2011) | Doug Glatt | I love Doug's sweetness and his dumb wisdom and his journey, so my particular wish is just more Doug. I ship him with Eva, LaFlamme, Pat or Rhea, so any of those pairings would be great, but gen would be awesome too! I like porn, humor, and all the sports movie cliches, but I'd also be interested in a story that involves some of the more serious themes touched on by the movie, like the role of enforcers, concussions, the realities of minor league pro sports, and so on, so any direction you want to take this works for me. Any rating is fine. | letter |
| coeurdepic | Orange is the New Black | Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson | I had so much trouble narrowing this down since I love all the characters in this show, so if you want to disregard this and write about other characters, please feel free! (I especially love Claudette/Jean-Baptiste and Sophia, if you need other options). That said, omg Taystee *___* I love her to pieces and I want to hear all about her. What was her crime? What was it like for her during her brief time on the outside? What if she ran a web series/blog for her amazing book reviews? I ship her like crazy with Poussey and also enjoy her moments with Piper, but if you've got another relationship in mind or just want to focus on the awesomeness of Taystee herself, please run with it. Anything you want to write, any rating! | letter |
| coeurdepic | The Tripods - John Christopher | Anything! Seriously, these books have so little fic that I want anything and everything for them. I ship Will/Fritz and Will/Eloise if you're in the market for a pairing, but I'd also read any other pairing, as well as genfic for just about anything or anybody in the books. I'd love an atmospheric or worldbuilding type of story, especially about the girls who get taken into the Masters' city or about the ruins of the twentieth century. The Masters are a perennial source of amusement and horror for me, and I'd love to hear more about their compulsion both to preserve and destroy, or just about them getting high and playing Quidditch on stilts, whatever :D Or just pick out anything else you loved in the books and write about that--I promise I'll love it! Any rating is fine and I'm not particularly squickable, especially not in this fandom. | letter | |
| colacube | Odyssey 5 | Kurt Mendel, Neil Taggart | A show that is simultaneously pre and post apocalyptic was always going to appeal to me. I'd love to see a fic that shows how the crew deal with being back. Or an exploration of the Neil's relationship with his family. Kurt/Neil slash would be great, but I'd love friendship fic too. | letter |
| colacube | Being Human (UK) | Hal Yorke, Alex Millar, Tom McNair | For me, BH ended just as the new guys were finding their feet. It would be brilliant to see what happened after the series ended. How do the trio adapt to life now? An exploration of Alex and Hal's relationship (if they go for it!) would be great and I want Tom to end up happy too. He really deserves it. Or a fic that fills in the gaps. The three of them sitting down to Antique's Roadshow at the end was so quaint and adorable that I'd love to see something domestic. | letter |
| colacube | Breakout Kings | As with my other fandoms, this ended too soon! How did Erica, Lloyd and Shea take Rendell's offer? It must have been really tempting. Maybe something about them after their release? Or back on downtime in prison. What if another inmate did find out what they were up to? | letter | |
| colacube | Jumper (2008) | Roland (Jumper), Griffin O'Conner | Roland and Griffin were the best part of this film, IMO. I'd love to read more about their life long fight to the death. How did they first meet? Do they meet again after the film? There's so much that could be covered! | letter |
| colacube | The Eagle | The Eagle of the Ninth (2011) | Marcus Flavius Aquila (The Eagle), Esca Mac Cunoval | I preferred the film, because I like Esca when he's quietly defiant and snarky, but I enjoyed the book too so feel free to use either canon. I'd like to read a fic dealing with Esca's past. Maybe they run into someone from when he was a slave. Or from before then? Or maybe a fic set straight after they returned from the north. | letter |

| comets_throughthesky | Cold Case | Lilly Rush, Scotty Valens | Two of the most competent detectives that we have ever seen, and they work well together. How do they go from their relationship on the show to a more intimate one? Or alternately, the two of them cracking another cold case together. Any rating is good. |
letter |
| comets_throughthesky | Drop Dead Diva | Fred (Drop Dead Diva), Stacy Barrett | I miss Fred! This request is really all about the Fred, and I love Fred/Stacy, so if you give me them together somehow, I'd love it even more. I miss them. What's it like being a guardian angel? What happened to Fred? Do they have a future together? Any rating is good. |
letter |
| comets_throughthesky | Frasier - Fandom | Niles Crane, Daphne Moon | One of my very first OTPs. The witty, intelligent Niles and the love of his life, the caring, wacky Daphne. The two of them were a match made in heaven. What's another way they could have gotten together? What does their future hold? Any rating is good. |
letter |
| comets_throughthesky | New Girl | Nick Miller, Schmidt (New Girl), Jessica Day (New Girl), Cece Parekh | This is really a request for either Nick/Jess or Cece/Schmidt, or both, if you want to include both in the same story. I'd love to see the two couples interacting and doing something together. Maybe a road trip somewhere awesome? Some sort of weird bet between Nick and Schmidt that gets increasingly out of control? Any rating is good. |
letter |
| comets_throughthesky | Sports Night | Natalie Hurley, Jeremy Goodwin | I loved these two together. They weren't always the most functional couple, but they worked when they were together and apart, they just weren't quite the same. I've never managed to find a Natalie/Jeremy fic, so...anything. A missing scene from canon, their future... Any rating is good. |
letter |
| comets_throughthesky | The Office (UK) | Tim Canterbury, Dawn Tinsley | From a Tim/Dawn fic, I'd really love to see a continuation of canon from the end of the Christmas special. I know a lot of my prompts have dealt with the future of the couple, but this is one where I'd really love to see it more than anything. Any rating is good. |
letter |
| comixologist | Shinreigari GHOST HOUND | Oogami Makoto, Komori Tarou | o most of my friends know that I am a sucker for anything resembling a bully-to-protector redemption arc. I love how much tension and distance there is between Taro and Makoto at the beginning of the show, and the underlying current of affection and concern that they have for each other - a mutual desire to protect the other from harm (including the potential harm of dealing with each other, early on). I love them as awkward friends or distant relatives as much as I love them as bonded or brotherly, and anything about their difficult progress together will make me happy. I should probably note that when I say "bully to protector", I don't mean to imply that Makoto is necessarily always the bully or the protector in any of these situations, and I'd love a fic about his feelings (including those of resentment) with regards to Taro and their connections or shared experiences, for example. References to Makoto's music or songwriting would be awesome, as would Taro's interest in gadgetry. If you're up to it, a horror component thrown in would be very well received. |
letter |
| comixologist | K (Anime) | Yata Misaki, Kamamoto Rikio | Kamamoto and Yata are stand-outs for me, I find them totally endearing. I really enjoy their casual dynamic - having been childhood friends, scrappy little Yata as the protector, it's great! Rikio's total lack of wounded pride about it all, I just really enjoy how comfortable they are with one another. I can totally see them having a familial bond, or a strong friendship -- with or without casual (or maybe more serious on one side) attraction. I totally do ship it, but I love gen and action stories, so don't feel tied down to a story about romance. Anything about the two of them (with or without flashback to childhood playground antics) that lets their bond shine, from gang rumbles or mix-ups with loitering hooligans to quiet moments of personal weakness, I'll be happy. That said, if you want to tackle post-finale hurt/comfort, I'd ask for the spotlight to be more on the comfort part -- otherwise I'll need more tissues with which to wipe my tears. |
letter |
| comixologist | Teppuu (Manga) | Ishidou Natsuo, Kontani Karin | OH HOW I LOVE THIS COMIC. I love Karin's conflicting desires to nurture Natsuo as a fighter and to knock her down a peg and make her appreciate the work (rather than just appreciating the fight itself). Natsuo's weird relationship with the idea of being beaten and challenged makes me think that Karin, as her mentor and trainer, will get to see more of her than any of her other friends and rivals (I love them all -- please, bring in more members of the cast if you're comfortable doing that). I'd really enjoy something involving Karin's perspective on MMA and on Natsuo's talent (and personality), and the way Natsuo categorized Karin as someone worthy to learn from and is growing closer to while also being aware of Karin's place in the MMA world and with regards to Team Cordeiro. My own interest in ~all the feelings they have about fighting and each other~ aside, it's true that Karin and Natsuo don't have much interest or time for Heartfelt Conversations, so if they come to some sort of unspoken understanding through the everyday process of training and the necessary intimacy it provides, that would be totally awesome too. |
letter |
| comixologist | Young Justice (1998-2003) | Match (Young Justice Comics) | How would it have been if Match had not been so thoroughly indoctrinated into evil? I have hoped against hope for a long time that that good old trope, The Power of Friendship, would come to make him question his villainous affiliations and motivations, and maybe he would end up using his 'superior knowledge' or data exposure to good end. The cheesy redemption arc, or a glimpse of it to come in a single act of canon-divergence would be awesome. I'd love to see how he would or would not be like Kon as a hero, or as a civilian, or what have you. Anything involving his development of an identity more broad than 'Superboy's Match' (just like Kon developed an identity broader than 'Superman's Clone'), or figuring out a dynamic with the members of the team are right up my alley. I enjoyed the awkward It Wuz Match1!1!! reveal in Sins of the Youth, so if you can't work with the redemption concept, a sudden reveal of mischief managed or foiled wouldn't go awry. Match is a capable actor and manipulator, so feel free to have him go all out, and either take advantage of or be challenged by the trust Kon had earned from the rest of the team at that point. |
letter |
| coprime | Breath of Fire III | Nina (Breath of Fire III) | Nina! I love Nina and think she is the awesomest, so I just want something centered around her. What did she think about helping Ryu as a child? What did she do in the years before Ryu came back? What happens when she returns to Wyndia after the game ends? Or something else! As far as pairing her with someone goes (which is definitely not necessary), I'm open to whoever, although I'd prefer any romance to be set post-game and for the story to still be focused on Nina. |
letter |
| coprime | Phantasy Star IV | Demi (Phantasy Star IV) Wren (Phantasy Star IV) | I came out this game shipping Demi/Wren hard, so I'd love anything pairing them up. But, on the other hand, gen where Demi & Wren are friends is also something I would be ecstatic to receive. Maybe something set post-game with them working together to fix the planets' environments? Or maybe something about Demi growing up due to her experiences in the game and becoming more Wren's equal? Or something else! I just ask that if you go the gen route, please don't pair either of them with someone else. |
letter |
| coprime | Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009) | Samantha "Sam" Sparks, Flint Lockwood | I think Sam and Flint are adorable together with all their earnest, enthusiastic geekery, so I'd love anything that lets them be together while being themselves. Maybe they can go on a date, or Flint can help Sam do meteorology stuff, or Sam can help Flint test an invention. Or something else! I've already seen Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, so feel free to use anything from that in the story too if you want. |
letter |
| coprime | Octonauts (TV) | Octonauts combines my love for cute things and sea creatures, so it is basically catnip for me. I'd love anything that gives whichever nominated character you offered (Dashi, Tweak, or Tunip) a chance to shine. I'd especially love it if you could let them help a sea creature of some sort. But anything that lets them be the main character in the story (day in the life on the Octopod, what they were doing before becoming an Octonaut, or something else!) rather than support for Captain Barnacles, Kwazii, and Peso would be awesome. | letter | |
| corbae | DANGER Daniel - Works | I would love any story you came up with based on one or more of these pieces. Is this our world, some time in the future, or one a few worlds away? Who are the people? The wolves? What's with the graffiti? Anything you see in one of the pieces and would like to explore, I would love to read about. | letter | |
| corbae | Hark! A Vagrant | Vanessa (Hark! A Vagrant), Light-haired Mystery Solving Teen (Hark! A Vagrant), Dark-haired Mystery Solving Teen (Hark! A Vagrant) | What would happen if these three stumbled upon a real case? I suspect the boys would deal with it somewhat incompetently while Vanessa would thrive. Alternatively, you could expand upon their daily lives. You don't need to include all three characters if you'd prefer not to. | letter |
| corbae | Lament - Mount Moriah (Song) | Narrator (Lament), You (Lament) | ometimes I just want to read stories about broken relationships. (If the relationship is fixed through lots of tears and hard work and communication, that's cool. If it's never fixed and you're left with that ache in your heart, that's cool too.) | letter |
| corbae | Sunshine - Robin McKinley | Rae "Sunshine" Seddon | Anything about Sunshine's magic & how she learns to use it or how it affects her life post-story would be cool. New recipes she comes up with, if she uses her magic while baking, further encounters with the SOF, Mel and Con and *that* tangle--whatever you'd most like to write, I'm sure I'll love reading! | letter |
| cordialcount | Takeshi Kovacs Trilogy - Richard Morgan | This universe, eee, I will wolf down anything set in it. But if you like a bit more detail: I'm especially intrigued by by the predicaments introduced by sleeving and AIs, the events of Innenin and New Beijing and the Unsettlement, legendary figures coming alive, and all flavors of worldbuilding. (General preferences, specific prompts, and why I love this fandom, Long Version, at my letter. :D) |
letter | |
| cordialcount | The Culture - Iain M. Banks | Yes, superb: anything that uses this universe as a setting; I love both its dazzling verve and its space opera fireworks and the black humor and ethical dilemmas brought out by its underbelly. Any character nominated or any other character, including original, would be more than welcome. (General preferences, specific prompts, and why I love this fandom, Long Version, at my letter. :D) |
letter | |
| cordialcount | Cyteen Series - C. J. Cherryh | Grant ALX-972 (Cyteen) | Feel free to ignore character tag-- show me the interactions and qualities of any of Grant, Justin, Ari I, Ari II, Catlin I, Jordan, and/or Paul in whatever form you like. There is not enough of these characters and their spaces, and anything you write to alleviate the shortage will make me ridiculously happy. (General preferences, specific prompts, and why I love this fandom, Long Version, at my letter. :D) |
letter |
| cordialcount | Hilary Tamar Mysteries - Sarah Caudwell | Hilary's coterie sparkle in their driest and most elegant voices, but I need exclamation marks to tell you how much I love reading about them. Give me extravagant letters! A space/fantasy AU! Merry chases through other areas of the law! Hilary v. Oxford administration! Cantrip/Larwood/Ragwort or Julia/Selena or everyone/Corkscrew! Anything else you want to write. (General preferences, specific prompts, and why I love this fandom, Long Version, at my letter. :D) |
letter | |
| Cori Lannam (corilannam) | Spartacus Series (TV) | I would love absolutely anything canon-based about any of the characters from the series (maybe except Ashur). Any pairing is great, any point from the series is great. Seriously, anything. If you've had an idea knocking around your head, just run with it. If you'd like some prompts, here are a few: * A lighthearted or angsty moment with Nasir, Mira, and Naevia, looking at their relationships with each other aside from their men. Something with them training or running the camp, maybe, or dealing with the changes in their lives. * Something dealing with the complicated feelings between Spartacus and Mira, a moment from the development of their relationship. * Anything Nagron! Would love to see a moment from their early relationship, as flirtation develops into something more and they gain respect and affection for each other. Would also love something post-series as they try to lead their people to safety and adjust to a very different life. * Post-series, all the characters down in the Underworld, having to work out their issues! * Spartacus professional wrestling AU! I don't generally care for AUs in this fandom, but here's my one exception. If by some miracle you happen to be a WWE fan, I would adore a lighthearted AU about the Thracian Sensation and his stable of underdog pro wrestlers. |
letter | |
| Cori Lannam (corilannam) | Best Song Ever - One Direction (Music Video) | I am a brand-new 1D fan, and I watch this video at least half a dozen times a day. I would love anything that captures the amusement and spirit of the video. Some ideas (but really, feel free to do whatever you want): * Absolutely anything with Veronica! Her flirtation with the boys was my favorite thing - especially the bits with her and Harry. * Marcel and Leeroy prepping for their presentation under the "guidance" of Harvey and Jonny. * The aftermath of 1D's visit - chaos! cleanup! someone please scrape Marcel off the floor! |

| Cori Lannam (corilannam) | The Iliad - Homer | Patroklos (Iliad), Achilles (Iliad) | This is my staple request every year, because I will never get enough Achilles/Patroklos. All I ask is NO DEATH and minimal foreshadowing of their doom. I know, I know, that's what the Iliad is all about, but I would love anything that works around that. Some possible ideas: * A scene from their youth together, Patroklos coming to Phthia, their education with Chiron, etc. * A scene from camp life at Troy. I'd love something that looks at Patroklos's relationship with the other Achaean leaders, how he runs interference for Achilles' bad social skills, how he earns respect in his own right, his role among the Myrmidons -- really anything Patroklos focused! * If you really want to do death and angst, I'd love to see something about Achilles seeking Patroklos in the Underworld, having to quest for him, having to answer for his sins, anything like that. |

I would love a happy backstory moment to compensate for the soul-crushing ending. General note: Signups really snuck up on me this year, sorry Santa-type person! I promise my letter will be more helpful on the details front if that is of concern to you. |

| corialis | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | T. E. Lawrence, Ali ibn el Kharish | I love the atmospheric details of this movie (and cinematography, though that is significantly harder to capture in writing!) almost as much as I like to believe Lawrence and Ali love each other. Possibly a combination of the two? | letter |
| corialis | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Marquis de Carabas (Neverwhere) | Marquis fic plz. I fangirl everything he does regardless of pairing (though if you want to pair him with Richard, I wouldn't say no). The peculiar details and worldbuilding of London Below are my second favorite thing after the Marquis. | letter |

Would especially like something with Sir Godfrey and more about how he seems to know her and know about time travel. | letter |
| coricomile | Lord of the Flies - William Golding | Jack Merridew, Simon (Lord of the Flies) | WHAT ISN'T TO WANT? Sam/Eric/Jack or Sam/Eric or Sam/Eric/Ralph. There's so many things here! Sam and Eric have always been seen as a single entity. Does Jack treat them that way? Does he treat them well early and then go off the wall after he orders them to be tortured? Do Sam and Eric huddle together in fear after the first few days, cling to the only thing they have (each other)? What about Ralph? They're the only ones that ever listened to him. How does he handle them? | |
| coricomile | Halloweentown | Dylan Piper | I'd really, really, really like something about Dylan going to Halloweentown and having a runaway romance with Luke. If not, a character piece would also be fine. | |
| coricomile | Dexter (TV) | Dexter Morgan, Debra Morgan, Brian Moser | Murder threesome! Instead of trying to kill Deb, Rudy/Brian kidnaps her and Dexter. They learn to live and love, etc. | |
| coricomile | The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) | Patrick (The Perks of Being a Wallflower 2012), Charlie Kelmeckis | What if Charlie had been in love with Patrick instead of Sam? | |

| cosmic_llin | Tenko (1981) | Rose Millar, Christina Campbell, Blanche Simmons, Beatrice Mason | I'd love anything about any combination of these characters. Femslash-wise I'd love Blanche/Rose or Rose/Christina, but I'd also adore friendship fic or character study for anyone! | letter |
| cosmic_llin | Seraphina - Rachel Hartman | Seraphina Dombegh, Princess Glisselda, Lucian Kiggs, Miliphrene | I ship Seraphina/Glisselda/Kiggs and any combination thereof, but I'm also really interested in all four characters in general and would love to know more about what makes them tick. | |
| cosmic_llin | MoonDreamers | Celeste (MoonDreamers), Sparky Dreamer, Whimzee (MoonDreamers), Dream Gazer (MoonDreamers) | I'd love world-building stuff, seeing more about the characters' lives and how everything works. Whimzee is my favourite but I love all the characters. Ship-wise I love Whimzee/Anybody, but probably no higher than a PG13. | |
| cosmic_llin | Swallows and Amazons - Arthur Ransome | Nancy Blackett, Titty Walker, Dorothea Callum, Peggy Blackett | I'd love something with more detail about how the kids keep in touch during term-time. I'd love to see what goes on in any of their heads, at any point before, during or after canon. Or, once they're adults, I'd love to see Nancy/Titty, Nancy/Dot, or Nancy/Titty/Dot. | |
| CousinShelley | Watchmen (2009) | Rorschach (Watchmen 2009), Nite Owl (Watchmen 2009) | I love their friendship and want to see more of that. They can be beating up the bad guys or hanging out debating the ills of the world or anything in between. If your heart's set on writing slash between them, with actual sex or not, I'm down with that, too. (Please see my letter for more information on how I see that particular aspect of their relationship.) I just want their friendship and caring for each other (however you may see it) to be front and center. One can rescue the other or give the other advice, or anything that you're moved to write about. No Christmas themes, please. |
letter |
| CousinShelley | Fantasy Island | The Devil (Fantasy Island), Mr. Roarke (Fantasy Island) | I'd love a story that explores the sinister a little bit and delves into the darker side of the show with Roarke at the center. I loved the episodes with Roddy McDowall as the devil. Who is Roarke? How is it that he seems omnipotent? Why does he do it, or what force is behind it? As a kid, I WANTED there to be dark forces involved somehow, either powering things or fighting them. It's perfectly fine not to answer those questions, but a darkish tale that doesn't shy away from the mysterious and potentially sinister side of the show would be fantastic! More details in my letter. Please, no Christmas themes. | letter |
| CousinShelley | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Jennifer Mills | I loved Abbie Mills the minute she spoke her first words on the show. When Jenny came along, I loved her, too. And Ichabod, well, what's not to love about Ichabod? I'd love a story that contains all three of them working together to put down some big bad or another, or working through the Mills sisters' issues, or solving something regarding Ichabod's arrival. Even a relatively plotless story that contains tons of banter between them, and I'm golden. If you were hoping to write something romantic or sexy, I'm a serious Ichabbie shipper. I don't think they'd fall into bed--I think he has to grieve first and release his wife from wherever she is--but they have tons of UST going on. I'm all for more of that. Abbie a bit jealous of Ichabod's admiration of Jenny? More of that, yes, please. If you were hoping to write sexytimes between Ichabbie or all three of them, you can, you really can! Just please see my letter where I explain my thoughts about that. I love that they're all so damn sassy that that the sisters have such a tortured past and that he's so amazed by the modern world without becoming overwhelmed. I want them to start to heal, and I want Ichabod to adore both of them (he's already mostly there, isn't he?). No Christmas themes, please. |

| CousinShelley | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | T. E. Lawrence, Ali ibn el Kharish | This is one of my favorite film relationships of all time. I think it's so complex with so much unspoken between them. I'd love a story true to the movie, but please no explicit sex. Implied slash is lovely, but friendship is perfectly fine if you're uncomfortable with any other tension between them. My favorite moments are when Ali's view of Lawrence shifts and he's suddenly protective of him, and later when he's taking care of him and almost worshipping him at the same time that he both wants the man to lead and yet wants to fiercely shelter him from everything. Anything that explores the dynamic between them, whether you see it as platonic love or more, would be wonderful. More details in my letter. |

| credoimprobus | Hit the Floor (TV) | Femslash or gen: I'm easily into Ahsha/Jelena, Jelena/Olivia, Olivia/Sloane, and Ahsha/Olivia, and any number of pairings that aren't covered by the nominated characters. For gen I'm most interested in Jelena and Sloane, and Sloane & Olivia's past as friends. More extensive (one might even call them exhaustive, aherm) details can be found in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. |
letter | |
| credoimprobus | After Earth (2013) | I'm pretty much looking for gen about the Raige family with this one -- individually or together. I'm especially attached to Kitai, but would be interested in a closer look at the underexplored female members of the family, too. More extensive details can be found in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. If you're really stumped for ideas with the characters, I'd love some exploration of the future world the movie builds, too; we saw so little of it. |
letter | |
| credoimprobus | Primeval: New World | Ange Finch, Dylan Weir, Toby Nance | Femslash with any combination of these three, or gen about them individually or together. I just love these three ladies SO MUCH. (Please don't feel as if you must include all of them in your fic, though: see the character requests as options rather than absolutes.) Feel free to include Sam or Nat, if that's where your inspiration takes you. Please don't include or suggest Evan/Dylan or Toby/Mac even as background, as I don't ship either at all. For more details, see my Dear Yuletide Author letter. |
letter |
| credoimprobus | Spliced (Cartoon) | I am really, really easy on this one. Just keep to the absurd, zany tone of the show, and I will love absolutely anything. Feel free to use any characters from the show you want, whether nominated or not; I legitimately love *everyone*. If you want some ideas to kickstart you, I have more details in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. |
letter | |
| credoimprobus | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Mina (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | Basically, I just want some vindication for Mina in fic form. And, uh, one of the ways I've really wanted said vindication (very, very much to my surprise at the time) is in the form of post-movie het mpreg. \o/? I'd also love a straight-up fix-it fic, though, with Mina tagging along with our heroes after the movie. Hansel/Mina/Gretel OT3 would be great, but a gen version would be just as welcome. ONE CAVEAT: I'd prefer no Hansel/Gretel incest (that goes beyond an underlying vibe, at least) unless it's as part of a threesome. It's not a squick for me, but it's not something I'm into in this fandom, either. More details in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. |
letter |
| credoimprobus | Bunheads | Michelle Simms, Talia (Bunheads) | I love these two together so much, whether as friends or as something slightly (but only slightly) more. Just give me more of their relationship, their history or their future, and I will love it forever. (ONE NOTE, though: I care very strongly about the fact that Michelle can arguably be considered canonically aromantic, so I ask that you respect that in whatever you choose to write.) I love pretty much every single female character that's appeared on this show, though (with a particular fondness for Truly and Fanny, beyond the two above), so if you'd have an easier time with other characters, go with it! I'd be every bit as happy with that. More details in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. |

| Croik | Green Hornet (2011) | Britt "The Green Hornet" Reid, Kato (Green Hornet) | omething slashy please, especially from Kato's POV. | letter |
| Croik | Dragon's Crown (Video Game) | Queen Vivian (Dragon's Crown) | I'd like to see something with Queen Vivian coming into her own as a powerful queen with the help of her adventurers. | letter |
| Croik | Sengoku Basara | Maeda Keiji (Sengoku Basara), Sanada Yukimura (Sengoku Basara) | I know these two don't have much of a relationship in game or anime canon, but I see it as a potentially interesting rare pair. I've never read any so I'll take anything. | letter |
| Croik | Oboromurimasa | Muramasa: the Demon Blade | Jinkuro Izuna, Momohime | Jinkuro/Momohime, while he's still in her body, or else after the game (though I'd rather not have anything set in the ending where Jinkuro sacrifices his soul and is gone). | letter |

| crumblingwalls | Cinderella (Fairy Tale) | Cinderella (Fairy Tales), Fairy Godmother (Cinderella - Fairy Tale), Stepsister(s) (Cinderella), Stepmother (Cinderella - Fairy Tale) | Things I'm into: feminist retellings, women, unhappy endings, character studies, worldbuilding, fairy tales of the creepy variety. Much, much more in my letter. | letter |
| crumblingwalls | Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis | Kivrin Engle | I say Kivrin for ease of matching, because specifying all the female characters from two books seemed complicated. I'm legit thrilled with anything about any of the women from Doomsday or Blackout/All Clear. More in the letter, but seriously: any of them. | letter |
| crumblingwalls | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary) | Things I'm interested in: Women being awesome, women being manipulative, Irene's backstory. | letter |

| custardpringle | Agent Pendergast Series - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child | Corrie Swanson, Constance Greene | Okay, so I've only read up through Cemetery Dance, and it's quite possible Corrie and Constance have met and I don't know about it yet :( I'll be caught up by December, though, so feel free to pretend I'm already up through Two Graves. Regardless, Corrie and Constance are my favorites and I would love so, so much to see them team up! Casefic would be spectacular, but really any story about the two of them would please me greatly. Femslash or gen would both be great. |
letter |
| custardpringle | Hellblazer | Gemma Masters (Hellblazer), Epiphany Constantine (Hellblazer) | Okay fine, so I ship these two. I ship them a LOT, since even before they actually kissed on-page. But my request--well, you will start to see a pattern develop, here. I'd love to see them after John's death, getting their shit together (Gemma in particular has been having a rough time for basically forever) and, at the very least, maybe for relations between them to get on a more even keel. | |
| custardpringle | Jim Stringer mysteries - Andrew Martin | Lydia Stringer | Okay, so Lydia and Jim are really cute together and all, but I frequently suspect that Jim is not exactly the brains of their collective operation. Really, though, I just want whatever story you'd care to tell about her--her point of view on their marriage, on Jim's mystery-solving, or even giving her a problem of her own to sink her teeth into. | |
| custardpringle | Flashpoint: Lois Lane and the Resistance | Lois Lane (Flashpoint), Penny Black (Flashpoint) | o Penny Black is really great! And she is only in three comics issues ever, which is just a crime. I'm pretty sure Flashpoint!Lois is into that, so I requested her, but really just please God I want more Penny please. | |
| custardpringle | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Helen Wimsey, Mary Wimsey, Gerald Wimsey Viscount St George, Hilary Thorpe | This is an either-or kind of request! Do not panic, dear author. Every time I read Clouds of Witness I'm kind of taken aback by how sympathetic Helen is to Mary--Helen is usually written as so upright and cold and defensive of The Family Name above all else, but in this case she's the one telling Peter and Honoria that Mary's going through a tough time, and why can't they give her some space??? It's a bit out of place for her, for sure, and I'd love to see a story explaining why she's so sympathetic. But hey, that's a pretty specific request, and my love for St. George/Hilary Thorpe is eternal and endless. So I'd still be ecstatically happy to read something about them instead! |
|
| custardpringle | How to Steal a Million (1966) | Simon Dermott, Nicole Bonnet | Okay, I'll be honest, I just noticed this was on the list and added it last-minute and haven't had time to write a coherent opinion about it. But this is one of my favorite movies, and I love the romance so ridiculously much and just GIVE ME MORE PLEASE. Tell me a story about Nicole and Simon being married, maybe! | |
| cynicalpink | Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | Miki Sayaka, Sakura Kyouko, Tomoe Mami | I'd strongly prefer a less-bleak slice-of-life fic or happy moment. There's plenty of angst in the source — I'd rather have the fic focus on some of the happier and more hopeful moments. A Kyouko/Mami relationship in the final timeline, post-canon, would be wonderful, as would a happy moment between any combination of Kyouko, Sayaka, and Mami, whether it's romantic or friendship. One thing I'd really love to see is some exploration of the world in the final timeline. In earlier timelines, Kyouko and Mami had a falling out over Mami's altruism and Kyouko's pragmatic approach; did Kyouko still distance herself after her family's death, or were they able to preserve their friendship in the less-competitive world Madoka created? If they were still partners, how did their first encounters with Sayaka go in the final-episode timeline? Beyond that, I'd be interested in AUs, crossovers, and fusions, but details on those will be in my letter. |
letter |
| cynicalpink | 幻影ヲ駆ケル太陽 il sole penetra le illusioni | Day Break Illusion | Shirokane Ginka | I'd love anything focusing heavily on Ginka as a character: pre-series fic, whether it's about her life with her father (and Honda?) or something about her early adjustment to life at the school and how she and Seira got along; her reunion with her dad at the end of the series; team adventures around the world post-canon... whatever you want. | letter |
| cynicalpink | スマイルプリキュア! | Smile PreCure! | Kise Yayoi | Cure Peace | What I want here is Yayoi fic. Any kind of Yayoi fic. Character study? Future-fic about her career as a manga artist? A day out with one or all of her friends? Yayoi/Miyuki fic? I like their shared enthusiasm for things, the way their interests — manga and picture books — overlap without being identical, and the fact that Miyuki, more than any of the others, goes along with Yayoi's silliness at times. Or crossovers with some of my other requested fandoms? Details in my letter. Really, as long as the story centers on Yayoi it's hard to go wrong. | letter |
| cynicalpink | ドキドキ！プリキュア | Dokidoki! PreCure | Hishikawa Rikka | Cure Diamond | Rikka is unquestionably my favorite Cure this season, and the best part of the show as far as I'm concerned. Anything focusing on her would be great! Gen about her relationship with her parents, fic about her relationships with Alice and Makoto (shippy or gen, either way is fine) Rikka/Ira fic, future fic about Rikka becoming a doctor, or something else entirely. Details in my letter. | letter |
| cynicalpink | ハートキャッチプリキュア! | Heartcatch Precure! | Kurumi Momoka Kurumi Erika | Cure Marine | I love all the characters in this show, but I especially want sibling gen about Erika and Momoka, whether the fic is all about their relationship or has that as a secondary focus while primarily paying attention to one sister or the other; Momoka's perspective on the events of the series, or Erika readjusting to normal life after saving the world. | letter |
| cynicalpink | Tiger & Bunny | Nathan Seymour | Fire Emblem, Keith Goodman | Sky High, Karina Lyle | Blue Rose | I just adore Keith — he's so good-hearted and sweet and well-meaning — and I ship him with both Nathan and Karina. Not really both at the same time, though if you have an idea on that front, go for it! I would prefer something shippy, though exploration of a close friendship is fine, too. | letter |
| Cyphomandra | Snow Queen Series - Joan D. Vinge | BZ Gundhalinu | I loved The Snow Queen and The Summer Queen, and I was blown away by World's End , and I loved the sense of a world opening up and changing throughout the books. I have a soft spot for police/legal agents trying to do their best in corrupt worlds, and, as is porbably pretty much obvious at this point, I love BZ Gundhalinu, and the archetype he represents, the agent of a dubious order who none the less struggles to define and do good. I really enjoyed what Vinge did with this universe, all the different cultures and customs, and the way so many possibilities get picked up and expanded throughout the stories (the sibyls especially), and really, I'd be happy with anything more set there. I was unconvinced (and disappointed!) in Tangled Up in Blue, so I'm happy for that to be ignored or rewritten. Ideas? BZ's past, or when he first started working with Jerusha (their first case?); interactions with worlds outside Tiamat, or dealings with the sibyls there. |
letter |
| Cyphomandra | Inspector Lynley Mysteries - Elizabeth George | Barbara Havers (Inspector Lynley Mysteries - Books) | Basically, I love Barbara Havers. She has always felt more real (and far less typical) to me than Lynley, and a necessary antidote to his wounded noble suffering — she has so much more to deal with on a daily, grinding basis, such as the care of her demented mother, and being a conventionally unattractive woman in the London police. I like her a lot, even her determination not to compromise, which she carries to such an extreme that it becomes a disadvantage. I don't really want a story in which she is ultimately Proved Right About Everything, and there are showers of flowers and unicorns, but I would like her to have a moment, just for herself, where she gets to enjoy being herself. I have not read Just One Evil Act (it's not out at time of signing up!), so would prefer events from that not to feature — this does mean you could go AU from The Edge of Nowhere. I would also be interested in Barbara's past, pre series, or just a slice of her daily life that puts a different slant on things. I enjoy her relationship with Hadiyyah, and would also be happy to see more of that. |
letter |
| Cyphomandra | Imajica - Clive Barker | Pie'oh'pah | I have problems with Clive Barker's later work, but I still love this - the sweep and audacity of it, the world(s) and the characters - and I think there's so much space left in there that I'd love to see what you did with it. I have picked Pie as being my favourite character, but that doesn't mean I don't want the others to show up (particularly Judith, actually, as I really think she had more to do/say as a character) and I have no preferences about when you set the story. This is a fandom where I should say I have no objection to explicit sex (if preferably consensual), but I do want to feel a connection to these characters and their world, as opposed to just being anybody. With this request, I don't mind if you want to go somewhere else in the world(s) entirely, outside the main story (Pie does have a fair amount of unexplored backstory), or if you want to focus very tightly on something within. If it helps, I love the way art runs through this book (painting, theatre, magic), and anything around an artwork — making, taking, destroying — would be fascinating. |
letter |
| Cyphomandra | Sono Te wo Dokero | Hands Off! | Oohira Kotarou, Urushiyama Yuuto, Oohira Tatsuki | Despite the fact that I've only got around to mentioning v1-4 on my lj, I've read the whole series. I love all three leads, their abilities, and the way the story manages to balance humour with its darker themes. Basically, I'm looking for the chance to catch up with the characters again (within or after the series), whether or not they're doing anything more than arguing. Totally clichéd options such as the obligatory hot springs episode or an in depth exploration of the Tokyo subway system complete with tinny renditions of station music are completely welcome. And I'm unhappy with Kotarou forgetting what happened at the ending, so if you felt like fixing that I'd be thrilled (also, feel free to microchip him in the extremely likely event of him getting kidnapped YET AGAIN). |
letter |
| Daegaer | When William Came - Saki | I'd love to see more of the world Saki has constructed for this novel, focusing either on any of the nominated characters or on the world in general. One obvious thing is what happened next? How were the scouts treated for their disobedience? Or a story looking at Cecily and Murray's relationship as his realisation of his acceptance of the fait accompli really sinks in. Or perhaps Murray discovers to his horror that he has become friends with Leutnant von Gabelroth (or more, if you'd like to write slash). Does Cecily ever discover an interest in politics? What is von Kwarl doing as time goes on? Anything you'd care to write would be wonderful! | letter | |
| Daegaer | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | Thomas Nightingale | I'd love a story about Nightingale's service in world war II, before the final climactic battle. An exploration of combat magic, or a meeting with wizards of other nationalities would be great! | letter |
| Daegaer | Hut 33 | Minka (Hut 33), Gordon (Hut 33), Charles Gardiner Archie (Hut 33) | I'd love a comedy story that kept the somewhat surreal feel of the radio show - do the staff of Hut 33 discover a famous man Mrs Best *hasn't* slept with (and what's her reaction)? What terrible plan does Archie and/or Charles come up with this time? What's Minka's life story this week? | letter |
| Daegaer | Romanitas - Sophia McDougall | I'd love to see more of the world McDougall has constructed for this novel, focusing either on any of the nominated characters or on the world in general. Really, anything exploring any facet of the long-lasting Roman Empire or its neighbours would be fantastic! | letter | |
| dafna | The League (TV) | I am still a massive fan of the Pete/Kevin/Jenny dynamic, and if anything, this season has gone even more OT3 about them ("2nd wife" etc.). But I've requested and received them twice before (both stories are awesome) and asking again seems greedy. :) And I really really want this fandom to have more stories period, so please, if you like this show, write about anything you like: Ruxin being obnoxious, Taco being clueless, Andre being hapless, etc. Write about what else happened during the wedding weekend, or Pete's doomed dating history or what all the NFL players they interact with really think of these guys. If it's about "The League", I'll be happy. | letter | |
| dafna | Rev. (TV) | I'd love a story set either several years before or several years after the events of the show. Tell me how the Smallbones met, or about Nigel's list of petty slights by previous and future priests. Like most everyone, I adore Archdeacon Robert, so a story told from his POV would be grand also. | letter | |
| dafna | The Thick of It (TV) | Peter Mannion, Emma Messinger, Malcolm Tucker | I loved the last series in part because we got to see so much more of Peter and Emma, so any story featuring them would be great: antagonizing the Inbetweeners, bickering with their fellow Tories, mocking Ollie and the gang, etc. And I've included Malcolm because I feel like his presence is always there, even if in spectral form. I'd also welcome a story set where they were in Opposition or 10 years from now, or heck, I'm open to wacky AUs too. Go for it. | letter |
| dafna | Great British Bake Off RPF | Mary Berry (Great British Bake Off RPF), Sue Perkins (Great British Bake Off RPF), Mel Giedroyc (Great British Bake Off RPF) | I feel like there's great AU or wacky crossover potential for this fandom, so I encourage you to stock the tent with a bunch of interesting characters and then bake. Points for Mary assigning some ridiculously complicated technical challenge and Mel and Sue being even loopier than usual. | letter |
| daisydiversions | Ookiku Furikabutte | Big Windup! | I love pretty much every character in this series. I have seen the anime and read the manga through the first year (and will probably be caught up to the scanlations by the time your fic is posted). I like baseball and team building and slice of life fics. Basically, I will love anything sweet or silly or passionate. I particularly love Abe being really intense and all of the canon hand holding. And the cheering team! And everything! Something Nishiura-centric is preferred. | letter | |
| daisydiversions | Basara (Anime & Manga) | Sarasa (Basara) | There is so little of this fandom that literally anything would be precious and beautiful. I'd love something sweet and lovely, but heart wrenching and painful would be right on for them as well. Fic with Sarasa and Shuri or Sarasa and Tatara, AU, canon, or post series. I have seen the anime and read all of the manga. | letter |
| daisydiversions | ReBoot (TV) | I love computer puns, Hex, strong female characters, and clone jokes. Surprise me! I have seen all four seasons. | letter | |
| daisydiversions | Tokyo Babylon | Sumeragi Subaru, Sakurazuka Seishirou, Sumeragi Hokuto | omething that has a happy-ish ending. You can have the darker undertone of the series, but no murder in this fic (or at least none that Subaru is aware of). Banter, blushing, and wedding invitations. I have read the manga and seen the OAV. | letter |
| DaisyNinjaGirl | Territory - Emma Bull | I would love to see a story that picks up on one of the loose ends in the novel (there are so many!) and fills it out a little. For instance, what happened in San Francisco that it didn't feel simplerat the time, and why did Jesse Fox and Chow Lung need to hire an opera singer? How did Mildred's career as a writer for Gallagher's Weekly turn out? Did Jesse ever make it to Mexico and do his horse training job? What's the story behind Chu working for Chow Lung? What happened to Jesse's sister from the sister's point of view? Anything like that would be great, really. | letter | |
| DaisyNinjaGirl | Dan in Real Life (2007) | Possible Prompts: 1. The events of the movie but from someone else's point of view (one of the kids, or the grandparents maybe?) 2. What the next family get together a year later was like. How do Dan and Mitch and Marie deal with each other? Did Mitch find the person he can settle down with? 3. What was Dan's relationship with his first wife like? How did they meet? What was special about her? What was it like when she came to meet the family the first time? |
letter | |
| DaisyNinjaGirl | The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) | Gwen Stacy (The Amazing Spider-man 2012) | I'm really interested in a Gwen Stacey story. Emma Stone does a great nuanced performance, but the character is basically there as a supporter for Peter - what's going through Gwen's head when everything's going down? She's got father issues of her own - caught between her Dad's desire to protect her and keep her safe up in her high tower (and I noticed that she wears white a lot, to boot), and her interest in Peter and his rather grubbier world. How does this work out after the movie is over, does she find a compromise that works for her? Does she make friends with Aunt May at all? | letter |
| DaisyNinjaGirl | The Pirates' Mixed-Up Voyage - Margaret Mahy | This is the most glorious book of all time! Pirates! Orphans! A diamond doorknob the size of a piano mover's fist! And the piano mover. I would love a story about The Week After the events of the novel are resolved. Because obviously, they couldn't get any less complicated. I would love a story about The Week After the events of the novel are resolved. Because obviously, they couldn't get any less complicated. Or possibly fill in some backstory for one of the characters that you like? Like maybe for Humbert Cash-Cash's life in the orphanage before he made good? Or what terrible sin did Toothpick commit that he ended up as a Pirate Parrot. Is that something to do with how he became so fascinated by Fate? What did the story look like from the hot air balloon? |

| Damkianna | Banlieue 13 (Movies) | I love these movies a completely ridiculous amount considering they are mostly an adoring visual ode to parkour. I have watched them both many times and I'd love fic for just about any point in the story - want to write pre-canon fic? Explore the gap between the movies? Ignore the second movie entirely? Go ahead! DO THE THING. I love each of the nominated characters individually and in any combination; whether you want to write about Damien being the cleanest cop or Leïto thwarting drug dealers, Lola as a racecar driver or Tao beating people up with her hair, I would love to read it! | letter | |
| Damkianna | NYC 22 | I have to admit I'll be surprised if I get matched on this fandom, but I just finished watching this show and I ended up really enjoying it, just in time for Yuletide. Last I checked, there were three fics on AO3 and they were all crossovers, so when I say I'd enjoy anything in this fandom, I am completely sincere. A thousand words of Perry and Sanchez walking a beat, the continuing epic romance of Dana Apple and Ahmad Khan, Michelle's struggles with her brother or her job or with the most awkward family dinner ever at the McLaren home - anything! I like each of the nominated characters and any combination; mostly I just want more about them! | letter | |
| Damkianna | Painkiller Jane (TV) | Jane Vasco, Maureen Bowers | I just bought this show on DVD and rewatched it, and all of my feelings came back at once! Jane and Mo are my favorite part of this show (at least the first half), and honestly pretty much anything that has either or both of them in it will be incredibly awesome. I love their partnership at the beginning of the show and the way they fit on the team together during the show, and if you'd like to write a snippet from an AU where Maureen doesn't die, I would be ECSTATIC. You should feel free to write about either of them individually, or to embrace basically any buddy-cop trope that strikes your fancy - obviously Jane provides whole new angles on hurt/comfort and the good old "get yourself shot to save your partner". I also love the rest of the team, so if you'd like to include any/all of them, be my guest! | letter |
| Damkianna | Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) | Snow White (Snow White and the Huntsman), Ravenna (Snow White and the Huntsman) | I love Snow White's sweetness and iron, Ravenna's bitterness and determination, and basically the whole aesthetic of this movie! I'd love to see more of just about any part of either of these women's lives, anything from the moment Ravenna first decides to take her fate in her own hands to Queen Snow White making friends with some more bridge trolls, or anywhere in between. You absolutely don't have to write a fic about the two of them together if that doesn't spark your interest; but I'd also love any excuse for them to interact a little more than they did in the movie, whether it's early-movie Ravenna talking to a still-imprisoned Snow White or a later-movie story where Ravenna disguises herself as a peasant girl or a Fenland child to learn more about Snow White. I'm fascinated by how similar they are in their strength and how different they are in their choices of how to use that strength. Seriously, anything in this fandom would be awesome! | letter |
| damos | Blue Beetle (Comics) | Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle), Guy Gardner (Blue Beetle), Christopher Smith (Peacemaker) (Blue Beetle), Milagro Reyes (Blue Beetle) | Basically, I want a story revolving around that moment when Guy Gardner says to Milagro that he is the crazy one. I think that the seriousness of Peacemaker makes a great foil for Guy (as does Milagro). It can be at the picnic/party afterward or, really at any time. Have fun. | letter |
| damos | Galaxy Quest (1999) | This one is pretty basic. How does the follow up series go? Do the cast get along better? Do Alexander and Jason resume their fighting? How does (new character) fit in? | letter | |
| damos | The Greatest American Hero | It has been years since Ralph donned the suit. What happened to him and Bill? What happened to him and Pam? What happened to the suit? Did he ever get (and keep) an instruction book? Did he ever find a sense of purpose in (or out of) the suit? | letter | |
| damos | Portal (Video Game) | Chell (Portal), GLaDOS | I guess this prompt is also pretty obvious. Chell returns to the Enrichment Center. How do she and GLaDOS interact? Does GLaDOS still retain the memory of Caroline? Any reference to PotatOS or the Portal 2 closing serenade is a plus. | letter |
| dancinbutterfly | The Losers (2010) | Jake Jensen, Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez | More than anything I want a fic where Cougar is stupidly in love and adoration with Jensen and goes about slowly wooing him, preferably from Cougar's POV. I love NC-17 so feel free to get dirty. Also I have a soft spot for use of "Jake" in private moments - but only if it feels right to you as an author! Other ideas - assuming that one doesnt do it for you - will be at my Dear Yuletide letter! |
letter |
| dancinbutterfly | Bourne Legacy (2012) | Marta Shearing, Aaron Cross | ||
| dancinbutterfly | American Horror Story | Tate Langdon | ||
| dancinbutterfly | Divergent Series - Veronica Roth | Natalie Prior, Andrew Prior | Tris's parents - how they fell in love and got together in the Abnegation faction. | |
| dancinbutterfly | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | John Marcone | Harry/John | |
| dancinbutterfly | Mighty Ducks (Movies) | Charlie Conway, Adam Banks, Fulton Reed | *cough* Charlie would be NHL aged now. I'm not saying you have to do a crossover where he falls in love with hockey player on the Penguins or the Kings or the Rangers or anything but I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind it if he fell in love with Sidney Crosby or John Tavares or Tyler Seguin or Matt Duchene or Jonathan Toews or almost anyone kicking ass in the league who isn't Patrick Kane. You know. It's not something I would mind. I also wouldn't mind if you did that falling-in-love-in-the-NHL scenario with one of his former Ducks(of your choosing though I prefer Adam or Fulton) having been on an opposing conference team(east coast to his west coast or vice versa) and getting traded and them, you know, finding each other again. Like you do. And by "I wouldn't mind" I mean I WANT LIKE BURNING. *clears throat* P.S. MAXIMUM BONUS POINTS FOR CONNIE BEING THE FIRST WOMAN IN THE NHL AND KICKING ASS DOING IT PREFERABLY ON CHARLIE'S TEAM, PREFERABLY WHICH GORDON NOW OWNS. |
|
| Dani | Kings | Jack Benjamin, David Shepherd, Michelle Benjamin, Silas Benjamin | Jack escapes his father but has to leave his old identity behind. Instead of Prince Jack, he becomes simply Nathan...and suddenly the lord sees fit to speak to him | |
| Dani | Greek | Casey Cartwright, Cappie (Greek), Evan Chambers, Rusty Cartwright | I'm really fond of a Casey/cappie/evan threesome, particularly if it's post series. | |
| Dani | Little Miss Sunshine | Sheryl Hoover, Dwayne Hoover, Olive Hoover, Frank Ginsberg | Dwayne coming out of the closet. | |
| Dani | Boy Meets World | Shawn Hunter, Cory Matthews, Topanga Lawrence, Stuart Minkus | I'd like to see all of these characters meet up and be in each others lives after the show ends (perhaps in the girl meets world universe? up to you). I've a particular fondness for the pairing of Shawn/Minkus, but I'd be quite happy with gen as well. | |
| Dani | Velvet Goldmine | Curt Wild, Brian Slade, Arthur Stuart, Mandy Slade | Curt/Arthur would be preferred, with a side of curt/mandy friendship. Also, if you could mix in a dash of brian in some capacity, that would be lovely. | |
| Darkhymns | The Death Gate Cycle - Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman | Haplo, Alfred Montbank, Marit Grundle | Haplo/Alfred is a dear OTP of mine and I would love fic that details their friendship, whether platonic or something more shippy. I think there's a lot of opportunities for you to explore, such as their time together in Abri, or maybe having them meet earlier during their time in Chelestra. I also love having Marit involved with the both of them in a poly relationship if you decide to include her. I'm great with both gen as well as smut, and would just love to read fic of all of them connecting with each other. Grundle is a lovely person and should always have more fic of her. Possible scenarios could be her getting into her role as leader for her people on their new homeland, or maybe her own interactions with Alfred- being the only person who's seen him as the dragon. Also would love to see AU's for this canon if you want. I'm great with the mundane like coffee-shop, or a reverse from the fantasy setting into a sci-fi! I would just prefer no high-school or a/b/o settings. See my letter for more details! |
letter |
| Darkhymns | Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World | Tenebrae, Colette Brunel | Would love a fic with Tenebrae as a central character, perhaps exploring his role more as Centurion and other things he's done before the events of the game. What were his interactions with Mithos and his group? How did that relate to the people he's met now? I'd also love having Colette in the story, particularly with both her and Tenebrae- could be something somber about the situation of the joined worlds, or something light-hearted like Colette's love for dogs and dog-like creatures. (Tenebie!) I'd also be fine with something shippy between them, maybe having Tenebrae having the ability to shapeshift into something more human. One very much optional detail is if you could include Lloyd Irving somehow, with both Colette and Tenebrae, would be neat! See my letter for more details! |
letter |
| Darkhymns | Amnesia: The Dark Descent | Daniel (Amnesia), Justine Florbelle | A fic dealing with both Daniel and Justine after the events of Amnesia, and perhaps taking place during the DLC. Could have older!Daniel with Justine, though you can make him young if you'd rather, or have Justine show up in Brennenburg. I'm so very open to dark themes for this canon, such as torture or some non-con (with Justine initiating it). Can have them in some twisted platonic relationship, or twisted romantic relationship- either's great! I'm also cool with smut of them as well. See my letter for more details! |
letter |
| Darkhymns | Klonoa (Games) | Kanashimi no Ou | King of Sorrow, Lolo (Klonoa) | I so loved Klonoa 2, along with its cuteness and the somber tones it brought up to clash with that. Fic dealing with both the King of Sorrow and Lolo would be great, possibly done post-canon where the King has been reincarnated and is now reliving his life with the possibility of happiness. You could have Lolo finally attaining her rank as a Priestess and helping raise the former King of Sorrow. While I'm more partial to gen for this, if you want to have an AU for where both could be portrayed romantically, I'd like that as well! Just for this canon, I would prefer no smut for them. See my letter for more details! |

| DawningStar | Tron (Movies) | Yori (Tron) | This movie didn't have much time for detailed worldbuilding or character development, but I think Yori is a wonderful character and the concepts involved fascinate me. Anything with Yori would be very welcome, and details of the computer world are a definite plus. I like her relationship with Tron and the trust between them but you don't really have to include him if you'd rather not. I'd especially love to see a good take on Yori meeting Lora, either for the first time or as some part of a longer conspiracy between them. | letter |
| DawningStar | Tron: Uprising | Tron (Tron) | In this universe Yori is hands-down my favorite character; she never appeared in Uprising, but if you feel up to tackling the question, I'd love to see something that explains where she was, why she wasn't with Tron, or why her clothes are in Able's collection of old things. I'm fond of her relationship with Tron, if you can manage to keep that intact--and fond of her survival, but optional details are very optional. If you'd rather do a character piece with Tron or anything about Tron and Able's friendship, or Tron's friendship with Beck, any would be very welcome! | letter |
| DawningStar | Lost Odyssey | Sarah Sisulart | Not the first time I've requested this, but I still like it just as much! Sarah is my favorite character in this game. I like her long marriage to Kaim and the strength of their relationship, but she's great on her own and any time period you'd like to set it in would be equally welcome: early immortality, learning history, marrying Kaim, the amnesia period, after the game with the kids, or later still. I love her dedication to the things and people she cares about, and there's so much we never see when the game takes Kaim's view all that while. | letter |
| DawningStar | The Legend of Dragoon | Shana (Legend of Dragoon) | Nostalgia request! If you're even looking at this request, thank you. I know Shana's probably the most disliked character in an old game not terribly popular anyway. But she never got a chance to react at all to finding out that Queen Theresa is her mother, or recover after being kidnapped. If you think maybe you could be kind enough to let her have a voice, I'll be delighted. Alternatively, if you can't quite bring yourself to focus on Shana, I will be pleased with any kind of gen friendship between the Dragoons, and I'm also very fond of all the friendly Winglies. | letter |
| Dayadhvam | The Third Policeman - Flann O'Brien | This book has sentient bicycles, a 2D police station occupied by 3D policemen, matroshka-style chests, the narrator conversing with his soul whom he calls Joe, references to the author de Selby's work on a sausage-shaped earth with extensive use of footnotes... (Gen please.) Possible prompts: A spoof on de Selby's writings! Or Sergeant Pluck dealing with all those stolen bicycle reports. Or what's going on with the "gift of seeing the winds," anyway? Or a longer look at the kind of interaction the narrator would have with Martin Finnucane on the way to the police station. | letter | |
| Dayadhvam | Flatterland - Ian Stewart | I love Edwin Abbott's Flatland, so was delighted to read this unofficial sequel. Look, I'm not gonna lie, this canon is basically an excuse to geek out about math stuff in a fictionalized setting. I am happy with any gen exploration of what the Space Hopper calls the Mathiverse, or Victoria Line's escapades once back in Flatland. For instance, consider new mathematical breakthroughs since Flatterland's publication--how would they fit into the Mathiverse? How would Moobius and/or Hawk King interact with these new entities? Feel free to throw in the Tea Party group--Doughmouse, Marsh Hare, Mud Hutter--if you like. Other prompts: Moobius sells her milk in Klein bottles. Her Klein bottle supplier also produces Mobius strips, on which she enjoys playing music. Or: in the book, Victoria and the Space Hopper discuss time travel and relativity with the Hawk King. What if they did more than just talk shop? Where and when might they travel to? | letter | |
| Dayadhvam | The Pushcart War - Jean Merrill | I love this book wholeheartedly. The story of the peashooter campaign is just so charming, and not to mention the parody of the political system re: the mayor (peanut butter! PEANUT BUTTER), the narrative shift from the peashooters to a publicity campaign (because: protests! OH MEDIA! letters to the editor!), the varied personalities of the pushcart peddlers (and how did they get where they are today?)... (I'd prefer gen for this.) Possible prompts: the prison guards' outsider POV of Frank the Flower's time in prison; or how General Anna took down so many freaking trucks BY HAND; or backstory for Mr. Jerusalem; or various instances where Maxie Hammerman talked his way into getting aid for the pushcarts... | letter | |
| Dayadhvam | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | T. E. Lawrence, Jackson Bentley | Gorgeous, amazing movie. The film has received criticism for its not entirely accurate portrayal, and I'm curious to play with that concept in the canon itself. Unlike his real-life counterpart Lowell Thomas, who held TEL in high esteem, the fictional Jackson Bentley accompanies TEL throughout most of his exploits and views him with hard-edged cynicism. I'm really really interested in seeing more of their interplay--a conversation where they speak at cross-purposes, Bentley making sardonic comments to Ali about the situation, an excerpt from one of Bentley's reports... basically, where does the divide between the man and the myth lie? It could be from Bentley's viewpoint (seeing the external transformation, or lack thereof), or TEL himself--still, at the beginning of the film's second half, lacking that bit of self-awareness in reality. They don't live in a vacuum, of course; I'd like to see them also interacting with members of the Arab tribes who have allied with TEL for the time being. (In fact, does Bentley only follow TEL around? What if he also split off to speak with others, e.g. Auda abu Tayi?—thus a view of TEL filtered through Auda filtered through Bentley.) *I see TEL as a homoromantic asexual, so you can work in that implication if you like. |

| dbskyler | Alien Nation | Matthew Sikes, Cathy Frankel | I love the way the show combined science fiction with an honest exploration of social issues, and Matt and Cathy's cross-species relationship was a great example. I'd love to see a fic on the way they negotiate the challenges of their relationship, either at the beginning when they were just neighbors, when they were starting to get together, or later when they were more of an established couple. The negotiation could be between the two of them, or it could involve how others see them. Nothing adult-rated please; G or PG would be great. | letter |
| dbskyler | Dead Like Me | Mason (Dead Like Me) | Mason was my favorite character on this show, so just give me more Mason! Anything you want to write about him would be great, but if you want some ideas, how about a fic where he screws up (again), or one where his kind and compassionate side comes out? | letter |
| dbskyler | Sarah Jane Adventures | Gita Chandra | I adore Gita. She's just so bubbly, and mercenary, and kind, and slightly irritating. I'd just love fic with her, set within the SJA world. Maybe there are aliens around, and Gita notices, or doesn't notice them? Feel free to bring in other SJA or Doctor Who characters if you like; I know them all. : ) | letter |
| dbskyler | Space: 1999 | Tony Verdeschi, Maya (Space: 1999) | I love Tony and Maya. I love them separately as characters, and I love them together as a "you say you're not in love but we know you really are" couple. I'm not a big shipper, but this is the big exception -- I think they eventually married each other and lived happily ever after. So if you like to write shippy stories, go for it! (Please no explicit sex, though -- G or PG rating would be great.) On the other hand, I also think it took them a long time to get there, and so a story that doesn't focus on them as a couple works, too -- I love genfic, and I'm primarily a gen writer myself. Some ideas: Tony and Maya's first meeting; Moonbase Alpha coming across something from Psychon civilization; or maybe a missing scene or a tag around one or more broadcast episodes? Really, just feel free to explore whatever you find interesting about these characters. | letter |
| Dea (dea_liberty) | Warchild Series - Karin Lowachee | Jos Musey, Nikolas S'tlian | I would love anything with these two, to be honest! I just - I love them together. I love their dynamics, whether as a pairing or simply as a student/teacher/familial-type bond. Just...absolutely anything. Them learning how to fit back together after Warchild, them through the other books, them learning to just be...whatever it is they are to each other. Anything. Absolutely anything at all that shows off this beautiful, amazingly complex relationship, and I will be the happiest girl. | letter |
| Dea (dea_liberty) | Iskryne Series - Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette | Skjaldwulf, Vethulf, Isolfr | Again, just the incredibly complex and amazing relationship between the three characters - or any combination of the three characters. Though, ideally, all three of them just learning to live with each other, learning how to be a unit, working together to make it all WORK. The way they all come from different backgrounds and have such different characters fascinates me, and how they clearly had to shift and change and adapt in order to fit together, and how they still have to work on it because so much depends on them - and just. The way the relationship has to work for the entire Wolfshaell to be able to function. How they all have to learn so much about each other, how they all fall in love in their own very different ways... all those things. | letter |
| Dea (dea_liberty) | Swordspoint Series - Ellen Kushner | Alec Campion, Richard St Vier | Relationship things! Like, for example, how they met? Or how they managed after the end of Swordspoint? Or just...I don't know. A day in a life at some point in time that isn't during the book? Literally anything. These two are another pair of incredibly complex and different and beautiful personalities that somehow mesh and work and have learned to live with each other, and love each other and just - that fascinates me. Their dynamic is intriguing and beautiful, and I'd love anything at all that shows that off! | letter |
| Dea (dea_liberty) | Lucifer Box - Mark Gatiss | Lucifer Box, Charlie Jackpot | Adventure and action and intrigue! The usual Lucifer Box-related things. The two of them just being themselves in whatever way, shape or form you'd like them to be in! The way they play off each other is absolutely brilliant and anything at all that shows that relationship is absolutely fine - more than fine! - with me. | letter |
| Dea (dea_liberty) | Nightrunner Series - Lynn Flewelling | Ahh! What can I say? I love everything about these books. Seregil/Alec is definitely my pairing of choice - though I wouldn't say no to Thero/Klia. As in...I would also love Thero/Klia fic because that is SO RARE. Seregil/Alec is just...all-round amazing and brilliant, and their relationship and how it develops throughout the books is wonderful. Snippets from anywhere related to them would be lovely, lovely, lovely. Always lovely. Or just...adventuring and intrigue! Just please don't break them up in any way because I just can't. They're so beautiful. Thero and Klia are also absolutely GLORIOUS, and anything - any insight at all - into their relationships, its development and just...the way it works. That would be beautiful too. But also just...friendships! Those are ALSO awesome. Micum and Seregil, or Alec and Beka - or Alec and Klia, Seregil and Klia... just basically anything. Any and all combinations of just...any of those things are welcomed. Relationships and friendships are just so amazingly, beautifully done in these books that I would be so, incredibly happy with seeing any part and any combination of those! | letter | |

| debirlfan | The Undeading (Canadian PSA) | I first saw this shortly after Yuletide signups last year, and I immediately knew it needed fic. While the video is only a couple minutes long, it raises so many interesting questions. The jets going overhead (and the fact that the cell phone appears to connect) suggest that some things are still functioning. Is the zombie outbreak a localized thing? Are they true zombies? After all, they're intelligent and rational enough to realize that they need living (food?), and to still remember how to keep someone alive. Feel free to either explore the world in general, or to write something based on one or more of the nominated characters. How was the doctor infected? Is performing CPR only a reflex, or something more? How has this human woman stayed ahead of them for so long? | letter | |
| debirlfan | The Neighbors (TV 2012) | Larry Bird (The Neighbors), Jackie Joyner-Kersee (The Neighbors) | I do love the aliens trying to fit into our world. That said, I am suspicious that their initial intentions in coming to Earth may have been - well, less than honorable. If you'd like to delve into that, go for it. Alternately, Larry and Jackie trying human style sex could be hysterically funny. If the idea of a "3rd Rock from the Sun" crossover interests you, go for it. (I could just envision both groups of aliens attempting to copy the actions of the other, while thinking that they are "normal" humans.) | letter |
| debirlfan | Keeping Up Appearances | Richard Bucket, Hyacinth Bucket | Poor Richard. I'd love to see something where Richard "wins" in one matter or another. Whether that means that he has it out with Hyacinth and finally gets her to treat him decently, or if he divorces her, or if he whacks her over the head and kills her. (I wouldn't object to death fic here, although if you decide to go that route, I'd prefer a more creative death than simply shooting her. Poison in her fancy teacup, perhaps?) | letter |
| DeCarabas | Near Dark (1987) | Jesse Hooker, Diamondback (Near Dark), Severen (Near Dark) | I'd love to read anything about these characters. Maybe something set before the movie? They've been traveling a long time, I'd like to see some of the people/places/events they've met along the way. | letter |
| DeCarabas | The Little Mermaid - Neumeier | The Poet | Hans Christian Andersen The Little Mermaid | His Creation | I loved the character of the Poet and the sort of meta interaction he has with his creation - both the mermaid herself and the world she inhabits. I would love to see that relationship in more depth, maybe adding a deleted scene or expanding on a scene from the show. | letter |
| DeCarabas | Rappaccini's Daughter - Nathaniel Hawthorne | I love adaptations of this story and would love to see your own spin on it. Maybe a modern version? Or a scene from the perspective of Beatrice or the Doctor? Or an alternate ending? Or what happens to Giovanni after the end of the story? | letter | |
| DeCarabas | Animamundi Dark Alchemist | Jan Van Ruthberg | I'd love to see a little more of Ruthberg, maybe an expanded version of his route. Deleted scenes? Alternate ending? I'd particularly like to see something touching on Mephistopheles and/or Georik's immunity to his poison, or Dashwood's lack thereof, or other ways the poison affects his interaction with people. | letter |
| DeCarabas | Terminator (Movies) | Enrique Salceda, Kate Brewster, John Connor (Terminator (Movies)), Sarah Connor (Terminator (Movies)) | I'd love a story about Kate and John, maybe something dealing with the day to day troubles of post-apocalyptic life. Or, I'd also be really interested to see how Enrique and his family are getting by post-Judgment Day. Or maybe both - I'd love to see Kate meet the Salcedas, or any other people who knew John and Sarah when he was growing up. Alternatively, I'd really love a story where Sarah and Kate could meet - time travel shenanigans, maybe? Alternate version where Sarah lives? | letter |
| Deepdarkwaters | Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild | Petrova Fossil | I love Petrova for about a million different reasons and anything at all about her will make me happy so please just write the Petrova fic you've always wanted to write! If you prefer prompts though: I'm also slightly obsessed with the ATA and other women's roles in WW2, so something about her time as a pilot would be amazing (my headcanon kind of wants her to work with some of the characters in Elizabeth Wein's Code Name Verity/Rose Under Fire if you're into either of those as a crossover). Or if you're more into her as a child then I really love the scene in the book where she sneaks out of bed and has that talk with Sylvia - if you'd rather not write dancey stuff or write about the sisters then there are some really lovely moments between Petrova and various adults and it could be fun to explore their relationships, Mr Simpson or Gum or Sylvia or whoever you like. OR something about the sisters and growing up and working in 1930s London if you want to bring in the other two girls. I'm ok with f/m and f/f equally if you want to go romantic, but I absolutely don't want incest or underage please! Otherwise I don't mind being upset, especially if you're going for a wartime story. As tragic and gloomy as you like, or as cheerful. | letter |
| Deepdarkwaters | Omar Rayyan - Works | Bullfinch, The Favourite, Man with Gold Earring, Mists of Oolong | Bullfinch / The Favourite / Man with Gold Earring / Mists of Oolong I'm so fascinated by these portraits and what that world/society must be like. Please tell me more! Who are these people?! They must be fairly important to have had their portraits painted, so what do they do? How do they influence the people around them? Are they liked or despised? Or tell me about the portrait painter - their life and goals and likes and dislikes? What do they learn from having these possibly important people sit for them? What do the characters do in their leisure time when they're not painting or being painted? You could run with this one forever, there's so much potential for storytelling and character studies. I've linked to the artist's Etsy shop rather than his main site because it's easier to navigate to the individual pieces, so if those links vanish for whatever reason (i.e. me buying all the prints ever), the main page is here and there's a ton more characters to play with if you so choose. As well as the four I nominated, I really love Contessa with Squid, Fluffy, Salamander Courtesan, Dragon and the Nightingale, and Dragon Hamam. Any gender and any rating is fine if you want to write romance, and I suppose any species as well if it's relevant? Please have fun with this one, I'd love to read about these people! |

| Deepdarkwaters | Rose Under Fire - Elizabeth Wein | Rose Justice, Róża Czajkowska | I'm happy to read about any of the nominated characters whether you prefer friendship, gen, romance, whatever. I love them all equally, but I requested the Roses instead of "any" just because I'm still feeling cheesegrater-raw from Code Name Verity and I'd rather not read a totally Maddie-centric story just yet. (I adore her though, more than happy for her to be a backgound/supporting character.) My other big please-no-thank-you is: I would really really rather not have any kind of concentration camp relationship if you're going for f/f, it's just not a setting I ever want to read romance in. Instead, please tell me more about the girls after the war! I love the development of Irina and Różyczka's friendship. I love Rose's poetry ('Air Raid at Ravensbrück' is my favourite - obviously no obligation because I couldn't do it to save my life, but if you write a Rose poem my soul is yours). I love the friction and friendship between Rose and Róża when they meet again for the trials. I love Irina and Rose's passion for flying. I love the idea of the Roses living together in a little Edinburgh flat and writing their book. It doesn't have to be all smiles and rainbows, obviously, but what hooked me so much on these characters was their spirit and courage and dark humour and the way they drew strength from each other, so I would love to see something with that same kind of hopeful mood and not just angst. I should probably mention too that I love love love Maddie/Jamie in the books, love their friendship and how everything turned out for them, but (especially in fic) Maddie/Julie is ENGRAVED ON MY HEART so no need to tiptoe around that if you ship them too. Either pairing is fine by me, but I'd rather not have Maddie/anyone else in a romantic sense. |

| Deepdarkwaters | Spirit Houses - Die Booth | I requested "any" characters - Manda, Daniel, Alex and Ray are the ones nominated, but I'd be just as happy with some sort of worldbuilding instead of character-centric fic so don't feel like you have to stick to just these four if this is the fandom we matched on. There are so many different ways I see Spirit Houses fic working: Character fic! Tell me about someone's history, or describe a normal day, or an unusual day, or a diary page. Ensemble fic! I love the way they all work together, so tell me about a case gone wrong, or a case gone really right. History fic! Tell me about the early days of the Department of Paranatural Medicine, or what the world was like before it. Future fic! What happens after the events of the book. Crossover fic! All the stuff about different planes means this fandom is wide open to pretty much any crossover you can think of, it's like steampunkish Magic Faraway Tree :P so maybe the DPM characters could end up in another fandom world, or characters from another fandom could end up in Spirit Houses world somehow. I don't know. If you're going with a crossover it's probably best to stick with whatever's on my LJ interests list (or ask me anon if you're not sure), but if you've got a mega bunny for something I don't know then write it anyway and bonus, I'll discover a whole new fandom! I'd rather read friendship fic or book levels of UST for these characters than full on romance, but again if you're inspired to write something shippy then please go for it. Mainly though I'm in this for the worldbuilding, it's such a massive incredible world to play in. TELL ME ALL THE THINGS. | letter | |
| deepsix | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills | The thing that I really, really want, and which I know you may not be able to do, is a crossover with Assassin's Creed III in which Ichabod and Connor are besties (maybe the kind who have sex?) and Hessians=Templars and they go around assassinating everyone and Connor is happy for like five minutes. I WANT THIS SO BADLY OMG. Failing that, I would love anything involving Ichabod learning things about the present day. Especially future fic, where he's still surprised by what he doesn't know even after kicking around in the 21st century for a while. Also, anything that explores his budding partnership with Abbie. I ship them like fedex. |
letter |
| deepsix | This Is the End (2013) | Backstreet Boys reunion fic. (Seriously, I don't care, go as lulzy as you want with whatever you want. I'd be shocked if I got matched on this anyway.) | letter | |
| deepsix | Almost Human | Dorian (Almost Human), John Kennex | Two words: ROBOT PORNO. In all seriousness, I know this show hasn't even aired yet, but I'm already a majority shareholder in human/robot relationships, THAT IS HOW HEAVILY INVESTED I AM IN THIS. I would, obviously, love some robot porn, but I would also love anything that explores artificial intelligence and its role in society (obviously how it relates to police work, but also other things!), transhumanism and/or posthumanism. Or something about Dorian's life before he was shut down/reactivated. Robots!!! |
letter |
| deepsix | BioShock Infinite | Rosalind Lutece, Robert Lutece, Elizabeth (BioShock), Booker DeWitt | I haven't finished playing this game yet (but will have by the time yuletide rolls around, so no worries about spoilers) so I don't really know what I want other than ALL THE AUS because why not? | letter |

| Delancey654 | The Flashman Papers - George MacDonald Fraser | I would love a fill-in of one of Flashy's adventures (in the American Civil War or otherwise) that are alluded to in canon but were never fleshed out by GMF. A plus if Elspeth is involved and more clever than Harry. | ||
| Delancey654 | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Harriet Vane, Peter Wimsey | Pre-Gaudy Night; unresolved sexual tension | |
| Delancey654 | Father Brown - G. K. Chesterton | Please don't slash the good Father! Just a clever, classic mystery. | ||
| Delancey654 | These Old Shades - Georgette Heyer | Please feature His Grace, the Duke of Avon, at his most ducal. | ||
| Delancey654 | Sebastian St. Cyr Mysteries - C. S. Harris | Hero Jarvis, Sebastian St. Cyr | A regency cross-over, between Sebastian St. Cyr and/or Hero and one or more of Georgette Heyer's characters. Prefer het or platonic. | |
| delgaserasca | Spooks | MI-5 | Anything that isn't about Adam Carter, frankly. More details in my letter. | letter | |
| delgaserasca | Rectify | Amantha Holden, Daniel Holden | Daniel did time inside; Amantha did time outside. That's an idea that I'd like to see more of. Alternatively, the two of them as children, before the trouble, or more of their relationship since Daniel was released. | letter |
| delgaserasca | Some Girls (BBC) | Saz Kaur | I love Saz, and I love the way she's written and acted. She's a character of colour who is both obviously British and obviously Punjabi. Anything about her! More details in the letter. | letter |

| Delphicoracle-Cat (Delphicoracle_Cat) | Earth: Final Conflict | Da'an | Da'an's past, before the Taelons came to Earth, fascinates me. The fate of Da'an's children especially intrigues me. I would dearly love a fic focusing on Da'an's past as a parent-- ideally, a story revolving around the birth of one of his children, either the ones that ended up in embryonic tubes, or Zo'or's birth in particular. What was going through Da'an's mind during the birth? What was it like to give up a child to the embryonic tubes, or to give birth to the last Taelon baby? | |
| Delphicoracle-Cat (Delphicoracle_Cat) | Abyssal Zone - Lazuli Jones | Gabriel Nagra, Jhuun (Abyssal Zone) | I'm stunned to see this novel was available for requesting! I would kill for a fic exploring Gabriel and Jhuun's relationship after the novel ends. What sort of adventures would they get up to? Do any sexual issues come up, as the novel potentially explored? What happens if Gabriel visits Jhuun's homeworld? | |
| Delphicoracle-Cat (Delphicoracle_Cat) | Cats - Andrew Lloyd Webber RPF | Jacob Brent, John Partridge | eeing as how Mistoffelees/Tugger is such a huge ship with so much subtext in the stage and filmed version, I choose to believe Jacob/John had a little something-something going on. How about a look into possible shenanigans that may have taken place during filming? Suppose Jacob were to twist an ankle and John volunteers to nurse him back to health (with or without sexy results.) | |
| Delphicoracle-Cat (Delphicoracle_Cat) | Notre-Dame de Paris - Cocciante/Plamondon RPF | Again, I'm just stunned to see this fandom has been nominated! I've had a crush on the entire cast since I was a teenager. I'll settle for anything-- a little "behind the scenes" slice of life during the show's run, the cast's adventures before or after the show, a character one-shot about what it was like to act in this-- really, I'll take absolutely anything you can think of! | ||

| descoladin | The Cat in the Hat - Dr. Seuss | There's a story there, for sure. How do the cat and the fish know each other? And what is their relationship to the mother ("Your mother will not at all mind if I do" implies the Cat knows the mother well...), and why is the mother leaving the kids alone with the fish (and the cat, as it turns out) instead of with a babysitter? Is there a dad/partner/any other adult around at all, and what does s/he think of all this? And Thing 1 and Thing 2, what is their story? I dunno, it all seems very spooky and like there's a deeper story in there somewhere. Are we in some sort of dystopian world? Some sort of odd SF-virtual-reality thing? | letter | |
| descoladin | Gunnerkrigg Court | Jones (Gunnerkrigg Court) | I just want a story with Jones in it. Dysfunctional Jones/Eglamore would be awesome, or Jones and the Headmaster (what is their deal?) or Jones and any/all of the Eglamore-Surma-Anthony-Donald-Anja-Brinnie crew (what is her relationship to them? what does Surma, or Anthony, think of her? Canon says Surma hates Jones, I think?), or some sort of hijinks with Jones and Parley/Smith (Parley has got to always be trying to get a rise out of Jones, right?), or... I believe at one point there was something murky plot-wise implied between Reynardine and Jones but hasn't been picked up since; what is their relationship and what's going on there? That is to say: anything with Jones. Really, anything. She doesn't need to be a main character, even: I just want her to have a role in the fic and to be her awesome phlegmatic self. |
letter |
| descoladin | Mary Russell - Laurie R. King | John Watson (Mary Russell) | Watson gets short shrift in the Mary Russell books, with Russell dismissing him as stupid and not worth her time. I'm not sure he even shows up after the second one? Make him awesome. Give him his own adventure, let him and Mary do something interesting together, give me a missing scene through his eyes, let Mary realize that he's actually not an idiot, whatever it takes. A Russell/Holmes adventure where Watson gets to, y'know, contribute materially would be fine! As long as he gets a chance to shine at all. I respect the Russell/Holmes pairing (although I'd be fine if the fic didn't reference it), so I'd prefer no Sherlock/Watson if possible, please; in general I do like the pairing, but I can read in lots of other fandoms for that. Same for Watson/Russell. |
letter |
| descoladin | 20th Century CE RPF | Zelda Fitzgerald (20th Century CE RPF) | I find Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, and their codependent dysfunctional relationship, wildly fascinating. They took care of each other and didn't know what to do without each other, they cannibalized each other's lives for their work... She wanted a creative work of her own, but when she found ballet, it nearly destroyed her... Anything about Zelda and all the contradictions of who she was would be great! | letter |
| descoladin | Евгений Онегин | Eugene Onegin - Aleksandr Pushkin | Tatyana (Eugene Onegin) | Fix-it fic for Tatyana... I think Tatyana should take some of that courage and honesty she used to confront Onegin and talk to her husband about how she'd rather live in the country or whatever, because seriously, I feel like if they just communicated properly that she could be happy with him! If you don't like that idea, other fix-it fic would be great! Pushkin says, if only Tatyana had known about the duel... Well, what if she had known, what would have been different? Could she have stopped it? Would he have listened to her? What happens if Onegin misses and doesn't kill Lensky? Or... fluffy Fake Engagement playing-with-tropes? The only thing I ask is, I don't want Tatyana to leave her husband (or cheat on him), that would be way too OOC as far as I'm concerned. And while I have no issues with Onegin/Lensky if that's your ship, I do want Tatyana to be the major player in this, thanks! |
letter |
| descoladin | The Book of Mormon (Latter-Day Saints) | What's going on in Alma 17-20 from the point of view of the Lamanites, and especially from the point of view of the women? What did the Princess think when Ammon rejected her hand to be Lamoni's servant? Was she offended or relieved? Did Ammon and the Princess know each other at all? Did Ammon know that she didn't want to marry him, and that's why he rejected her? Or was he just super clueless? What is the relationship between Akish and the Queen? The Queen and the Princess? The Princess and Akish? Revisionist versions, or rethinking everyone's motivations, is welcomed. Exploring political/emotional ramifications would be awesome. SPAAAACE AU where God is a big computer, or something, would be just fine here. | letter | |
| Desdemon | White House Down (2013) | John Cale, James Sawyer, Emily Cale | I ship it. What's next after the movie ends? Does the president go on a goodwill tour that John has to accompany? Does John end up doing a bunch of media appearances that are confusing and hard to deal and that White House PR has to babysit him through? Do Emily and the President start having cute tea together or something???? Basically do whatever you want, but hopefully with kissing. :D | |
| Desdemon | Best Song Ever - One Direction (Music Video) | Veronica (Best Song Ever), Marcel (Best Song Ever) | Please god, for the love of god, I NEED the story where everyone's a little tipsy after the successful filming of the music video and Harry ends up hooking up with Veronica in a supply closet because god, she looks just like Zayn, but she's a GIRL and Harry CAN and meanwhile Zayn is coolly indifferent and definitely didn't notice or care but he stalks Marcel down the hall to some random bigwig's office and bends him roughly over the desk, and basically there are a lot of seething unspoken feelings and everybody hurts each other because they are too dumb to just say what they really want out loud. IS THIS TOO SPECIFIC? OKAY, THEN JUST MAKE THEM KISS. |
|
| Desdemon | Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate | Tobias (Animorphs), Rachel (Animorphs), Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill | I just started re-reading these books and full disclosure, I haven't read past book like #20 - but I have remembered my deep and abiding childhood love for Tobias. I would love a cool action piece where he really gets to shine, or even something a little shippy with either him and Rachel or him and Ax - shut up, I was totally getting the vibe. Basically I love everything about Animorphs, so anything is gonna make me happy - lovely teamfic would be great too. Animorphs!! | |
| Desdemon | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | William Laurence, Tenzing Tharkay | I'm doing a series re-read and at the beginning of Tongues of Serpents when Laurence calls Tharkay "Tenzing" for the first time, and it's just like WHERE DID THIS COME? Yes. Basically somewhere along that long sea voyage they became friends, and if I know Naomi Novik, probably more than friends. I would like a story about them please. It doesn't have to be set during the sea voyage, and it doesn't have to specifically be about their first time, but I would like to know how they got here. ("Here" obviously being "doing it" because come on, they definitely are.) First times would also be great, also any additions of dragons are very welcome. | |
| DesertVixen | Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene | Nancy Drew (Nancy Drew), Helen Corning | I'd really like to see something with Helen Corning (preferably still a single girl) and Nancy doing something mystery-related, and can pass the Bechdel test. Any era of Nancy (original, yellow spines, Nancy Drew files) is good. See my DYW letter for more details. |
letter |
| DesertVixen | Miss Marple - Agatha Christie | Jane Marple, Percival Fortescue, Lancelot Fortescue, Sir Henry Clithering | Miss Marple always figures out who the bad guy is, but we rarely see that bad guy apprehended. I'd love to see a "how they caught him" for A Pocketful of Rye's Lance Fortescue. See my DYW letter for more details. |
letter |
| DesertVixen | Clue (1985) | Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White (Clue), Yvette (Clue) | What if the FBI agent in the movie wasn't Mr. Green, but Miss Scarlet? Feel free to involve the whole gang here. See my DYW letter for more details. |
letter |
| DesertVixen | The Nonesuch - Georgette Heyer | Tiffany Wield, Patience Chartley, Mrs Underhill (The Nonesuch), Sophia Lindeth | Tiffany Wield was sent up to London, but I always doubted that she would stay there.. give me a Heyer-esque romp (possibly focusing on Patience and Julian's wedding) that shows her getting her comeuppance in the vicinity of Staples. See my DYW letter for more details. |
letter |
| Desiderii | Black Jewels - Anne Bishop | Tersa SaDiablo, Lucivar Yaslana | Tersa and Lucivar - non-romantic. Fluff or Mother-son sort of bonding. OCs or Fusions welcome if not a Tersa and Luicivar story. | letter |
| Desiderii | Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells | Possibly play with the poly nature of the Raksura? | letter | |
| Desiderii | Otherland - Tad Williams | Salome "Sam" Fredericks, Orlando Gardiner | After-book exploration of the radical change in Sam and Orlando's ongoing relationship. | letter |
| Desiderii | Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey | The story should contain dragons. *nods seriously* | letter | |
| Desiderii | Fifth Element (1997) | Ruby Rhod | Ruby Rhod bein' awesome and flashy and glorious. Fusion/crossover a-ok. | letter |
| DesireeArmfeldt | Slings & Arrows | I'm a big fan of Geoffrey/Ellen, and of Geoffrey-Oliver-Ellen backstory. I'm also a big fan of anything involving Anna. And I'd love to see a story about Maria. I'm not usually so sold on Geoffrey/Darren or other non-canonical relationships. I'm a theatre geek and one of the things I love about S&A is its theatre-geekery, so if that's your thing, please go for it. :) |
||
| DesireeArmfeldt | Elfquest | I was passionate about Elfquest in middle & high school; now it's well-remembered, well-loved nostalgia. A few years ago I discovered that a bunch more of it had been written since I stopped reading, and caught up on most of what's available online. But I had kind of a you-broke-my-canon reaction to the latest stuff. I haven't incorporated anything past Kings of the Broken Wheel into my head-canon, and what I know and love best is still the original 4 book series, plus some of the backstory stuff from the first couple of short-story collections. I'd be particularly interested in fic about Nightfall, Clearbrook, and/or Skywise. Cutter, Leetah & Rayek are also always fun. |
||
| DesireeArmfeldt | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | I always love Harriet, and I'd be interested to see fic focusing on any of the female characters -- especially the Dowager Duchess or the Dons. I like Peter/Harriet and am less interested in seeing either of them in a non-canonical pairing, unless it's backstory (both of them having canonical pre-canon love lives that might be interesting to play with). If you're a history buff, I'm always fond of good historical and cultural detail. I also love the exploration of gender and class roles that happens in the books, and would be interested in fic that focuses on those themes in some way. |
||
| DesireeArmfeldt | Bomb Girls | ince I don't have a separate Dear Santa letter, here are a few general-purpose bits of info: I am in general pretty easy to please -- write something you love! I have no strong opinion about holiday-themed fic; do it or not, whichever floats your boat. I like crossovers if there's some reason to them -- in particular I like playing with actor-doppelgangers and crossovers of universes featuring the same actor(s). That said, I don't watch nearly as much TV and movies as your average fan, so it'll be hit or miss if you crossover with something random. I like gender themes and am always happy to see female characters getting some stage time. I'm less psyched about swapping character genders for the heck of it; ditto AUs. I mostly feel that fanfic is already playing around with canon sufficiently, and if you stretch it too far the connection is lost. But, if you have a brilliant idea, go for it. I'm happy with pretty much anything on the fluff-to-angst-to-dark spectrum; my happy spot tends to be angst-with-happy-ending, but really, pretty much anything is good. The one thing I'm not so fond of is unrelenting mean-people-being-mean-to-each-other. I like plot, but it doesn't have to be action-adventure/casefic type plot; relationship-fic can also have plot (goals-->conflict = plot!). I like love/relationship stories, but gen is fine too. I'm not so interested in porn for porn's sake, but it's fine if there's a point to it (and I'm fond of head-porn, i.e. sex scenes that are really mostly about the characters' thoughts and emotions and what's going on plot/conflict-wise that's being played out through the sex). ------- Now on to the specific details for this request: I'd be happy to see a fic with any of these characters, but I particularly love Lorna and Betty. I was sad that season 2 took the easy way out of the storyline about Lorna's pregnancy and would love to see a fic that explores that, either within the canon timeline or an AU in which the miscarriage didn't happen. (I loved that moment in season 1 where Bob and Lorna make love with him having found out that she's pregnant, and presumably guessing what she's up to -- would have liked to see that idea play out somehow.) I'd also love to see backstory for any of the characters, especially Lorna, Betty, or Teresa. Something about Lorna and her daughter (or sons). Lorna starting work? Or an exploration of what's going on off-screen with Vera, who goes through a bunch of interesting evolution over the course of the show. |
||
| DesireeArmfeldt | Quantum Leap | Sam Beckett, Al Calavicci | Quantum Leap is one of those shows where I'm drawn to the fanfic because the show had such potential and so often failed to live up to it. What I like best about the show are the emotional payoff moments -- where they mess around with (or refrain from messing around with) their own backstories, where Sam and Al need and support each other (or need and can't help each other), or where the story-of-the-week deals with characters working their way through truly tough choices and come to a satisfying, if perhaps bittersweet, resolution. I would love a fic of this kind. There's always the interesting question of what happens to characters-of-the-week after Sam departs -- and whether their paths might cross his again in a different context on down the road. If you're fond of crossovers, a story in which Sam Leaps into the other canon of your choice and helps fix the flaw-that-needs-a-fic-to-fix-it of your choice (or just generally creates mayhem) would be totally cool. :) |
|
| Destina | Hornblower (TV) | Edward Pellew (TV), William Bush (TV), Horatio Hornblower (Hornblower TV) | I have great love for all three of these characters, but I don't really need the story to feature all three, unless you'd really like to write it that way. I love the relationship between Hornblower and Bush, once Horatio gets his own ship and chooses Bush to be his second in command. But I also love the ongoing relationship between Pellew and Horatio. Any story which explores these relationships - gen or slash, I don't care! - would make me very, very happy. (For the purposes of this year's request, I am not really all that interested in Archie Kennedy or his relationship with Horatio.) | letter |
| Destina | Tombstone (1993) | Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp (Tombstone) | I would love to read a Doc/Wyatt story which builds something out of that base of friendship, and explains just WTF was between them. I would also love any gen story focusing on their friendship, or on Doc in particular; I'll always be fascinated by what makes him tick, and what drew him to Wyatt. Their friendship is one of my favorite things ever. | letter |
| Destina | Fantasy Island | The Devil (Fantasy Island), Mr. Roarke (Fantasy Island) | This relationship is my absolute favorite of the original Fantasy Island, and there is SO MUCH here to mine regarding who and what Mr. Roarke really is. Is he immortal? A fallen angel? What are his powers? Why is he so invested in teaching gentle but definitive lessons to his guests? And why does the Devil love to challenge him, every so often? A story featuring a new challenge, or even some version of a supernatural coffee klatch between them, would make me so happy! Gen would be best for me on this one. *g* | letter |
| Destina | Captive Prince - S. U. Pacat | Laurent (Captive Prince), Damen (Captive Prince) | I'm going to be honest with you, Yuletide writer: what I want here is some lovely and emotional Damen/Laurent porn. Porn, porn, porn. Preferably set at some future point, after their first night together in Book 2. But if you are not of the porny persuasion, or you don't like messing with open canon, I would love a fic where one saves the other, or a story that shows the changing power dynamics, or...something you feel like writing that showcases their relationship. | letter |
| Destina | Thunderheart (1992) | Ray Levoi, Walter Crow Horse | I've always loved this movie, and I wanted a lot more out of this friendship/relationship. Slash or gen, I'd be happy with either - anything exploring this friendship would be excellent, or even a character study delving into the history of either man, his motivations, what makes him tick. Especially why Walter was so patient with Ray as he came to terms with who he is. | letter |
| Destina | Spartacus Series (TV) | Oenomaus (Spartacus), Gannicus (Spartacus) | To be honest, I love all the main characters in this show, but I love Oenomaus the most. He is a gentle soul, full of wisdom and love, caught up in extraordinary circumstances; he is an amazing warrior, who has come back from being broken more than once. So much love for him, and for his relationship with Gannicus, his platonic (maybe) soulmate. I also love Gannicus, and his journey from being a completely hedonistic wanderer to being a man who can lead others and is respected not just for his skill in battle, but for that leadership. (I don't care much for his tacked-on love story with that lovely young lady at the end of season 3, because it was superfluous. He should have stuck with Saxa, let's face it; she was awesome.) Any story about Oenomaus, or Gannicus, or the two of them together - slash or gen - would make me happy. I would greatly prefer a canon-era, canon-compliant story, not a canon-era AU or modern AU. | letter |
| devera | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Locke Lamora, Jean Tannen | I've just finished reading Red Skies and wow do our heroes get put through the emotional wringer (not to mention that cliff-hanger ending!). And it's shameful of me, but I would love to see some comfort or angst slash, either as they work through Locke's issues at the beginning of the story, or through Jean's issues after the end. But honestly, I'll be happy with anything because these guys are my favourite swashbuckling, bromancing characters! | |
| devera | Felix Castor Series - Mike Carey | Felix Castor | I'd really like some slash action with Fix and... well, somebody. Anybody! Could be an amiable and attractive male demon while Fix is on a case, or maybe Raf's roguish charm got him into Fix's pants back in the day. I would even accept a bit of UST/dub-con with the current Raf and his unofficial passenger manipulating Fix's feelings for its host, although that would be pretty dark. I'm ok with dark, but, yeah. Fix. Having his masculinity not threatened and maybe even stroked briefly by another male character (original or not). | |
| devera | FAKE (Manga) | Dee Laytner | I'd love to see some Dee-centric fiction, either in regards to his past, his job, or Ryo; but particularly I'd like to see someone else try to win, woo or have Dee and how he interacts with someone who's not Ryo. Is that wrong of me? To want to break up (however briefly or superficially) manga's most together couple? Nah. |
|
| devera | The Last of Us | Tommy (The Last of Us), Joel (The Last of Us) | I'd like to see something set between the death of Joel's daughter and the beginning of the game to do with the brother's relationship (or breakdown thereof) | |
| devera | A Land Fit for Heroes - Richard Morgan | Gil just can't seem to catch a break. I know. He's cynical and frayed and bitter and basically not the nicest person in the world, but I still feel like I want to give him all the good things. So, I would love to see either him in his briefly (superficially) happy, mispent youth, or for you, good writer, to introduce someone into his life that he can actually have something positive with. Or failing that, I would totally happily accept some interaction between him and Egar, where Egar isn't perhaps as adverse to the idea of Gil's preferences as the character tends to be in the books. I know they're friends and everything, but I think it's more than a little clear that Gil is in love with him! | ||

| devilinacardigan | Blade (Movie Series) | Karen Jenson, Deacon Frost | I really, really enjoy the dynamic between these two. Their sharp edges, their ambition, their smarts, their ruthlessness. And I think he likes her. How ballsy she is, that she's a fighter. I like that he wants to keep her but he'll kill her with no real problem either. I think she finds him awful on almost every level, but she understands him too and our girl is nothing if not a survivor. I really enjoyed the few scenes they shared and that antagonistic chemistry that's all their own. I ship it. I would love an entire fic of them getting beneath each others skin, having hate sex, suppressing conflicting emotions, arguing, making attempts on each others lives and all that great stuff but I wouldn't mind reading all of these scenarios with a more Gen-ish slant either. I would prefer her to stay human, but other than that, I'm ready for anything. A run in with Danica, a missing scene, whatever. | letter |
| devilinacardigan | Bletchley Circle | Jean (Bletchley Circle), Lucy (Bletchley Circle), Millie (Bletchley Circle), Susan Gray | I watched this on a whim and was really delighted by what I saw. I absolutely adore the mystery aspect of it, their growing friendships, their simmering anger, their conflicts over whether this is something they should even be getting into in the first place. I will love anything you write as long as these four women are involved. Give them a new case to solve, a fic following them pre or post-season one, tell me how they deal with what happened in that basement or how they feel about one another. When it comes to relationships, Gen would awesome, any twosome would be great and a foursome would be a dream. I have no real preferences when it comes to pairings in this fandom. One or a mix of any of these scenarios would make me very happy. | letter |
| devilinacardigan | Dredd (2012) | Cassandra Anderson, Joseph Dredd, Madeline Madrigal | I absolutely love the atmosphere of this movie. How gritty and dirty and bloody and violent and bright it all is. I love that, even though it seems hopeless, Cassandra and Dredd still believe in justice and are willing to put their lives on it (even when their opinions differ on what exactly justice means). I love the sleaziness of Ma-Ma and her gang. How she takes no prisoners and is nowhere near maternal or forgiving or warm in any way. I don't know much about the comic canon so feel free to pick and choose as you like. I'm curious about other areas of this universe as well. What's life like outside the walls? There has to be a wealthy part of town, right? Maybe Cassandra and Dredd catch a case there. I like the idea of Dredd/Anderson and Ma-Ma with either of them (for Gen or to ship) but I don't have a particular pairing or person I would prefer you to focus on. I love the dynamics between all of them and would like to see more. | letter |
| devilinacardigan | The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (TV 1996) | Helen Graham | Helen Huntington, Gilbert Markham | I am a sucker for a well made, romantic period piece with a strong female lead (at least that's what Netflix tells me) and this delivers in spades. I haven't read the book yet, but I absolutely adore the 1996 miniseries. The chemistry between Gilbert and Helen, the way she handles the nosy towns people, the way he courts her, her strength, the love between her and her brother, Gilbert's willingness to go beat up said brother when he mistakenly felt the man was mistreating her (and also because he was jealous). Sigh. Anything post-movie (their wedding, making babies, slice of life stuff, etc.) would be wonderful. I know there are some differences between the novel and this adaptation, the ending being one, but as long as you keep in mind that I've only seen the miniseries please mix and match as you like. I prefer the ending to the adaptation, but go wild if you've got other ideas. | letter |

| Diana Williams (dkwilliams) | Eroica Yori Ai o Komete | From Eroica with Love | Dorian Red Gloria, Klaus von dem Eberbach | I would love just about anything in it: gen mission, romantic interlude, PWP, character study - I'm easy! I'm a Dorian/Klaus shipper, so I don't want to read about them with someone else in a romantic way, but I'm also happy with Dorian pursuing the Major without catching him. Ideas and more details in my letter! | letter |
| Diana Williams (dkwilliams) | In and Out (1997) | Peter Malloy, Howard Brackett | I always wanted to see where Peter and Howard ended up after the events in the movie, particularly as I see them getting together. Ideas in my LJ. | letter |

| dimensionallyt | Mamma Mia! (2008) | Petros (Mamma Mia), Harry Bright | I love the movie and everything about it except the parts where we don't get to see what happens with Petros and Harry. It would be super wonderful if you could please fill the gaps, before during and/or after the movie. Romance, conversation, PWP (not BDSM), plot, honestly I don't care as long as it's about these two guys in an intimate more-than-friends situation. It would be super great if it didn't veer from the canon of the show much, but if you really want to write about them in space, maybe have them lying on a beach and fantasizing about what it would be like instead. Thank you muchly. | letter |
| dimensionallyt | Jesus Christ Superstar (2000) | Anything at all, motives, actions, shipping, missing scenes, zombie apocalypse, God's viewpoint. Probably the worst prompt ever, but I honestly don't care with only three exceptions: no aliens, BDSM or MPreg. Thank you | letter | |
| dimensionallyt | While You Were Sleeping (1995) | Please keep the movie canonical (no AU). Other than that I love ALL the characters and would love to see as many of them interact as possible. The family dynamics especially pleases me and how Lucy joins them. Post movie stories would be my fave, but I would also enjoy missing scenes. | letter | |
| dimensionallyt | Silver Linings Playbook (2012) | Pat Solatano Jr., Tiffany Maxwell | Please oh please can I have a what happens next? I would love a sex scene or three (not BDSM). I'd also be happy with missing scenes. The other characters are also wonderful, especially Dr Patel. Angst would work as long as there is a happy ending. Thank you | letter |
| dinosaursonparade | Jurassic Park (Movies) | Alan Grant, Clever Girl - Character | Fic where men are men and dinosaurs are dinosaurs, please. | letter |
| dinosaursonparade | Justified | Boyd Crowder | Preferably no Boyd/Raylan, but any one of Boyd's many faces would be great. | letter |

| dionysus_bound | Fantastic Four (Movieverse) | Johnny Storm (Fantastic Four Movieverse), Ben Grimm (Fantastic Four Movieverse) | I love the relationship between this two. They snark and fight and play pranks, but in a crisis, they have each other's back and really care about each other. I'd love to see them fighting a supervillain together, having to trust and depend on each other without Reed or Susan to help or interfere. Or maybe a slice of life, like the two of them trying to make Thanksgiving dinner and butting heads over it. | letter |
| dionysus_bound | The Mummy Series | Alex O'Connell | I love Alex, he's a great mix of his mother's brains and trouble magnetism and his father's toughness and pragmatism. Show me something from his teenage years or as a young adult. Whether he's getting in trouble and needing to be rescued, rescuing himself or rescuing someone else. (I know some people have issues with the last movie, so feel free to use it or ignore it.) | letter |
| dionysus_bound | Eureka | Jack Carter, Nathan Stark, Zane Donovan, Douglas Fargo | Feel free to focus on any, all, or a subset of the characters listed. I like all of them. I especially love the hi-jinx and crazy that falls each of them singularly and together. Tell me about the latest crazy experiment about to destroy the town and how they save it. Or maybe they have to deal with something supernatual/paranormal that doesn't have a scientific explanation. If you feeling ambitious or still pouting about season three (like me), I wouldn't mind fix-it fic for Nathan. | letter |
| dionysus_bound | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | Melinda comes across (at least so far) as somewhat world-weary and jaded. Skye still seems to have sort of a naive idealism (i.e. sharing knowledge and truth are always the right answer). I'd love to see them working together as partners or maybe with Melinda taking over Skye's training. | letter |
| Dira Sudis (dsudis) | What Maisie Knew (2012) | Margo (What Maisie Knew (2012)), Lincoln (What Maisie Knew (2012)) | I would love fic about whatever their future holds (as long as it's at least as happy an ending as the movie, even if there's some worry or sadness along the way)! If you'd like to focus on Margo and Lincoln's relationship, I would love to see any of that, from long talks to hardcore porn. I didn't list Maisie as a character because I'm okay with fic focusing primarily on Margo and Lincoln, but fic about the three of them as a family, the way their life works together, is a-okay with me, including Maisie-POV fic if that's what you want to do. Basically just ANY fic for this movie will thrill me to bits! | letter |
| Dira Sudis (dsudis) | Sound of Music (1965) | Maria von Trapp, Georg von Trapp | I would really, really love fic about Maria and Georg's sex life? :D Honeymoon fic, or later on when they've learned their way around each other a little more--whether it's introducing Maria to the basics or exploring kink (I'm just saying, there is NO REASON for Georg to be carrying around that riding crop in that scene with the Baroness). Bonus points for Maria bossing him around in bed just as well as she does out! If writing Sound of Music porn is not your deal, totally understandable! I'd also love to see honeymoon or futurefic about their marriage, adding yet more babies to the family, their travels, really anything exploring their relationship! |
letter |
| Dira Sudis (dsudis) | The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett | Colin Craven, Mary Lennox ,Dickon Sowerby | DICKON DOESN'T DIE IN THE WAR. I OT3 this trio with all my soul, so I just want to see the three of them together--I'm happy with anything from continuing to be cross-class besties to chaste first kisses in the Garden to sexy shenanigans to navigating a long-term triad relationship. Dickon and Colin navigating questions of sexual identity in a period-appropriate way and/or Colin being a fan of Edward Carpenter a plus! Also DICKON DOES NOT DIE IN THE WAR. |
letter |
| Dira Sudis (dsudis) | The Cutting Edge (1992) | Douglas Dorsey, Kate Moseley | I'd really love to see their future, and I'd especially like to see Kate getting to be finished with skating and find what she'd really love to do with her own life--going to college, going into the family business, whatever that is. Kidfic is also a-okay! | letter |
| Dira Sudis (dsudis) | North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV | John Thornton, Margaret Hale | I would like fic where they touch each other! And make eye contact. And maybe talk. This could also include, like, having sex, or Margaret being a spacetoaster, or arguing about social justice issues, or babies, or really anything. But touching would be A+! | letter |
| dirtybinary | The Charioteer - Mary Renault | Ralph Lanyon, Alec Deacon, Bim Taylor | I would really love a Ralph/Bim fic. Bim barely has any screentime at all, but he seems like such a complex character, and Ralph seems to hold him in high esteem (at least moreso than most of the other people at The Party). I'd like to know the reason for that. It can be porny or they can just sit around being sweet and tragic and that would be nice too :D Ralph/Alec would also be amazing. Like, they could both be totally bossy and try to out-boss each other and butt heads, and do their best to keep each other sane. Basically, Ralph's past relationships/hookups and how they affected him. |
letter |
| dirtybinary | The Last of the Wine - Mary Renault | Alkibiades (Last of the Wine), Socrates (Last of the Wine), Alexias (Last of the Wine), Lysis (Last of the Wine) | I happen to have a tremendous history!crush on Alkibiades. I would basically adore to pieces anything in which he features prominently (his interactions with Sokrates or Myron, his political intrigues, his scandals, his battles, etc), especially if you write from his perspective. It can be lulzy crackfic about his youthful exploits, or an angsty monologue at the end of his life, or Alexias and Lysis talking about him, or a character study of his many complexities and contradictions, or... you get the idea. As long as he's being smart and unscrupulous and too charming for his own good, I will probably love you forever. (Bonus points if he shows just the tiniest bit of vulnerability and remorse for his actions, because he comes off as this larger-than-life force of nature in the book, so I would love if you humanized him a bit more.) Alternatively, I would also enjoy Alexias and Lysis being sweet and fluffy together, or fighting at each other's side and being general badasses. |
letter |
| dirtybinary | Captive Prince - S. U. Pacat | Damen (Captive Prince), Laurent (Captive Prince) | I will flail madly over anything that involves protective!Damen and reluctantlyvulnerable!Laurent, but here are some suggestions: I really want to know what will happen when Damen finds out about what the Regent did to Laurent. Like maybe some h/c where Damen RAGES and has ALL THE PROTECTIVE FEELS and Laurent is secretly (or not-so-secretly) touched by it. Or, what Laurent does when he finds out Damen's true identity (if you are of the persuasion that he doesn't already know), or what Damen does when he finds out that Laurent already knows (if you are of the persuasion that he does!). Or anything that involves a reversal of their roles, like the boys going to Akielos and Laurent having to pretend to be Damen's slave in order to remain undercover (OMG I WOULD LEGIT DIE IF YOU WROTE THIS). Or one of them gets injured and the other cares for him. Or just pure porn. |
letter |
| dirtybinary | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | William Laurence, Tenzing Tharkay, Temeraire | My ship of choice is Laurence/Tharkay. It would be fun to see how their dynamic changes post-BoT, now that Laurence is the one rescuing Tharkay instead of the other way round (finally!). ESPECIALLY since it was the sight of Tharkay that brought Laurence's memories back, when previously he didn't even recognise Temeraire, for goodness' sake. I would love some post-torture, post-amnesia h/c in which Tharkay has to depend on Laurence and be vulnerable with him during his convalescence (especially when he's still regaining the use of his hands) and meanwhile Laurence struggles to understand his NEW and CONFUSING FEELINGS. Bonus brownie points for: awkward neckcloth fiddling! Non-cheesy use of first names! Over-solicitous dragons trying to help! Asking Granby for advice, which of course leads to moar awkward neckcloth fiddling! If this ship is not your cup of tea, platonic friendship fic would do just fine too! I love these two so much, I'm not really fussy as long as they're both in it. Another fascination of mine is species swap, particularly involving Temeraire/Laurence. What if Temeraire found a way to turn himself human for a while? Or what if he was human all along, and Laurence was his dragon (eeeeee!)? What would they & their relationship be like? It doesn't need to be porny or shippy (particularly if they are still dragon/human); it could also be lulzy crack!fic or just plain marshmallow fluff. |
letter |
| disclosure | Literary RPF | Cassandra Clare (Literary RPF) I'd really love a fic about Cassandra Clare getting visits from the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future who encourage her to get her life right. You could have these characters played by any of the other nominated authors, EL James, Stephenie Meyer, and Naomi Novik would be perfect, but anything goes, really! |
letter | |
| disclosure | Ultimate Comics Spider-Man | Clone Gwen Stacy (Ultimateverse) | I'd really love something that delves into the philosophical distinction between "Gwen Stacy" and "Clone Gwen Stacy." Something that focuses on Theseus's paradox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus Hahaha, just kidding! Okay, I just love Gwen Stacy and I just want more of her forever. I'd love interaction with Miles or Mary Jane if either of those tickle your fancy, or really just anything Gwen-centric! |
letter |
| disclosure | Tablet computers (commercials) | Windows 8 tablet, IPad tablet | iri seems to have some serious insecurity problems in this commercial. I'd love an exploration of that - how does the Surface tablet feel about that and how does she respond to it? (I believe the Surface is also female. Feel free to write genderswap, though.) Where are the Galaxy Tab and the Kindle Fire stand on all of this? (They weren't nominated, obviously, so feel free not to address them). Hatesex, humiliation kink, anything goes. | letter |
| disclosure | Video Blogging & Youtube RPF | John Green (Video Blogging) | I'm thinking of this tumblr post and the accompanying JOHN GREEN tag: http://reductionismandthebeast.tumblr.com/post/59684402910 Anything about John Green's fumbling and bumbling around fandom and Youngsters On The Internet. I'd love to see him giving unsolicited and out of touch mansplainy advice, or thinking that writing YA gives him Deep Insight into Kids These Days. Anything uncharitable goes. |
letter |
| distira | National Football League RPF | Andrew Luck (NFL), Robert Griffin III (NFL), Peyton Manning (NFL), Eli Manning (NFL) | I would give my kingdom for an AU of these two where RGIII went to Stanford with Luck. (details will be in my yuletide letter which will come!) I would also sell my soul for some good Manningcest, but feel free to avoid that if you are squicked by incest. | |
| distira | Women's Hockey RPF | Noora Räty (Women's Hockey RPF), Amanda Kessel (Women's Hockey RPF), Taylor Crosby (Women's Hockey RPF) | What I would ADORE is a slight future fic where TCros goes to Minnesota and plays with Amanda Kessel who is getting over Raty graduating BUT really I will take anything for these three, whether it's all of them together somehow or just two, or even just one of them I AM NOT PICKY I JUST LOVE LADYATHLETES | |
| distira | Classical Music RPF | Franz Liszt (Classical Music RPF), Frédéric Chopin (Classical Music RPF) | I ship it hard. Give me anything. | |
| distira | Friday Night Lights | Tami Taylor, Tyra Collette, Matt Saracen, Billy Riggins | Really I will take any FNL character in any situation. Would particularly love Tami Taylor and her crusade to get Tyra's head on straight- because she sees herself in Tyra, or whatever you decide. Again, more details to come! | |
| DivineMadness | Ar tonelico | I would honestly love anything, from any of the three games. I am not at all picky about what characters you would like to write for. Exception: I really don't like Saki (AT3). :/ Sorry. | letter | |
| DivineMadness | Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk (video game) | Linca, Marion Quinn (Atelier Ayesha), Regina Curtis (Atelier Ayesha), Ayesha Altugle | Femmeslash please. Not rating picky, either - as fluffy or as smutty as you want. I would adore some Marion and Linca dynamic. If that isn't up your alley, Regina is another huge favorite of mine - I'd love anything with her, shippy (not pairing picky with her) or no. | letter |
| DivineMadness | Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | Miki Sayaka, Sakura Kyouko | femmeslash please. Not rating picky, either. Break my heart, or actually give me a happy ending. Or both! Bittersweet can be nice, too. Angst it up or have it dripping with sugar. Basically? Just hit me. |D | letter |
| DivineMadness | Vampire Game | Duzell (Vampire Game) | ome gen fic would be great - castle shenanigans, Ishtar sneaking out again and Duzell getting wrapped up in the trouble it causes, etc etc. | letter |
| dizmo | Warbreaker - Brandon Sanderson | Lightsong (Warbreaker), Llarimar (Warbreaker) | I would love to see more or less anything of the interaction between these two. And you can do it either after Lightsong's ascension to godhood or before... or even both! It would be interesting to see the shift in their relationship. | letter |
| dizmo | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | I am going to more or less give you carte blanche here. I have irrevocably fallen in love with every single one of the main characters in this show. (Yes, even the ones that a significant number of people dislike. I love them too!) And I'm really liking the side characters, also! So I'm not going to be disappointed no matter what you give me. I'll say, basically, have at! But I'll also toss some ideas in my DYA letter in case you need SOMETHING. | letter | |
| dizmo | Qbo Meets Qbo (YouTube Video) | Daniel 123, Jane 234 | This video was just adorable. I just want more of the two bots! Somehow! If Daniel 123's face sounded familiar, did they meet before? Or did Jane 234 just know a similar Qbo? Ooo, backstory! Or explore the budding romance, because you cannot tell me Daniel 123 wasn't totally flirting. Or you could go another direction entirely and do some crazy postapocalyptic Wall-E-esque scenario. Really? Anything goes. The 'canon' being so short means you have a lot of room to play in. | letter |
| dizmo | Old Spice Commercials | Man Covered in Wolves (Old Spice 'Irresistible' Commercial), Man Covered in Hawks (Old Spice 'Poker Face' Commercial) | Frankly? I want these two to meet. Do the hawks get along with the wolves? Is there macho posturing going on? Is there just inherent acknowledgement of their respective coolness? What reactions do other people have if they see them together? What does Animal Control think? You are under no requirement to actually answer any of these questions. But I would just love to see what happens when the two of them interact. | letter |
| dizmo | Nested (Browser Game) | Obviously, it is hard to nominate specific characters when absolutely everything is randomly generated, and you have literal universes to work in. Really, just tooling around Nested, I have come across so many tiny little stories that could be expanded on, from the secret thoughts of animals and nanobots to sad little tragedies in the psyches of tourists. If you play around and you find something? Go for it. (Far from required, but an awesome bonus? Include screenshots of what provided inspiration!) | letter | |
| dizmo | Corruption of Champions | The Champion (Corruption of Champions), Kelt (Corruption of Champions), Marble (Corruption of Champions), Whitney (Corruption of Champions) | o the farm is probably one of the sanest places in the extremely fucked up world that is this game. So I'm requesting the Champion and then the denizens of the farm. I will say, though, that you're not required to include everyone, and you can pick and choose. But I want the Champion (who can be absolutely any configuration you'd like from fresh through the portal up to... strange bizarre freak of nature with animal parts and multiple sex organs) spending some time on the farm. It can be as depraved as you want, or you can set yourself a perversely backwards challenge and try to manage writing some fluffy gen-fic in this game world. I'm interested in seeing what you do with it. | letter |
| dizzy_fire | Cadfael Chronicles - Ellis Peters | Give me anything. :D Really, there's nothing I don't love about this fandom. Casefic? Yes please! A look at Cadfael's friendship with Hugh? Gimme! Hugh and Aline, Olivier's thoughts on his unusual father, Sister Magdalen being amazing, Brother Oswin helping Cadfael while being all dorky and adorable - it's all great. I'd also love to see some interaction between characters who don't often interact in canon; maybe Olivier meets Sister Magdalen while on a secret mission in Shropshire, or Hugh goes missing and Aline helps Cadfael find him? | letter | |
| dizzy_fire | Once and Future King series - T. H. White | Gawaine (Once and Future King), Lancelot du Lac (Once and Future King) | Gawaine and Lancelot are opposites in many ways, so it would be interesting to see them interact more. I'd like a story set before "Candle in the Wind" and the breaking up of the Round Table; maybe they're on a quest together, or maybe they're just talking about life in court, or Arthur, or the search for the Grail. They seemed to at least respect one another before Lancelot killed Gareth and Gaheris, even if they weren't close friends, and I'd love to see some of their interactions! | letter |
| dizzy_fire | 14th Century CE RPF | Vytautas of Lithuania (14th Century CE RPF), Jadwiga of Poland (14th Century CE RPF), Jogaila of Lithuania (14th Century CE RPF) | There's so many things I love about this period and characters that I can't even begin to mention them all, but the highlights are: the struggle between Paganism and Christianity; cousins who were sometimes best friends, sometimes worst enemies; betrayals, mysterious deaths, imprisonment and daring escapes (by way of crossdressing, in at least one case); and a teenage girl-king trying to get out of an unwanted marriage by hacking at the castle gates with an axe. Seriously, there's much to love, and any story you come up with will make me very happy indeed! | letter |
| dizzy_fire | Otto and Victoria - Brian Kesinger | Victoria (Otto and Victoria) | Basically, Victoria seems awesome and I want to know more about her. Is she a scandalous high-society lady, an intrepid journalist, a secret agent... or all three at once? And the two women in "Tea Time for Otto" - are they her family, or maybe her fiancee and a chaperone? Are octopuses common pets in Victoria's world, or is she considered a bit eccentric? (A bonus crossover idea, if you're familiar with Terry Pratchett's "Nation" - I'd love a story about Secret Agent Victoria in the service of Her Majesty Daphne I.) |
letter |
| dizzy_fire | The Witch's Son - auroaronkitten | I love the atmosphere of this picture, and all the unanswered questions. What is the story of the witch's son? What's the little winged creature he's holding, and what does he need its blood for? Each object in the picture seems to tell a story - what's up with the creepy doll, for example, or the noose? The boy's eyes look very much like the eyes of the cat - does it mean he's a shape-shifter? | letter | |
| dizzy_fire | Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion | Hero of Kvatch | At the start of the game, the future Hero of Kvatch is in jail, but we're never really told why. So let's say it was a case of mistaken identity, really bad luck and a string of hilarious and improbable coincidences involving a dancing bear. I'll leave it to you to work out the details. | |
| Doire | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | Samuel Mputa | I'd just like to know more about Sam: his early life, his progress through the church, his attempts to meet Jack, Sophie's reaction, his cousins' reaction ( though they do seem very self -absorbed), or did he keep corresponding with Stephen. Any of these scenes or something else, all would be good. I'd prefer it if you kept to the canon setting/time, but since you like the AOS you may be able to convince me with an AU. I have a secret fondness for AOS in space. |

| Doire | The Church Mice Series - Graham Oakley | Arthur (The Church Mice), Humphrey (The Church Mice) | It's not that I don't want to hear about the vicar and Sampson, I first read the books for Sampson, but I do want to hear about the mice's adventures; they are so individual. If you could write a small slice of their bickering and plotting I would be delighted. Gen, I think for this fandom, and only gentle peril. |

| Doire | Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin | Ogion (Earthsea) | There are hints of Ogion's early life and I should like to know more. Or maybe when Tenar came to him and lived as an island girl. It seems I'm asking for more of the story to be expanded on rather than anything new, but if that is where your muse takes you then I'll still enjoy reading it. | letter |
| Doire | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke | This is a leap in the dark as I've only just started reading this book. I'm in your hands ♥ I promise I will have finished well before Christmas so spoilers are no problem. World building, what happened 200, 300, 400 years ago, how would now classic novels have played out in that world? Everything I've read about the book suggests it's exactly my thing, and a little more for Christmas is greedy but I can ask. |

| donutsweeper | Heartland (TV) | Ty Borden, Jack Bartlett | I love how Ty has gone from a begrudgingly accepted responsibility to an almost son to Jack. I've really enjoyed seeing how their relationship has grown and flourished as the show has progressed and I'd love to see more of it. | letter |
| donutsweeper | The Big Valley | Heath Barkley, Victoria Barkley | Canon never told us exactly why or when Heath started calling Victoria "Mother." A story that focused on that would be wonderful, but any story about the relationship between these two would be absolutely fantastic. | letter |
| donutsweeper | The Witch's Son - auroaronkitten | Witch's Son (auroaronkitten) | This work can be found on either on deviantart [link: http://auroaronkitten.deviantart.com/art/The-Witch-s-Son-265624629] or tumblr [link: http://lauren-nichols-2.tumblr.com/post/12644722084/witchs-son]. Basically, I've just been fascinated by the drawing ever since I saw it, the detail is amazing and the fact it's a son not daughter is unusual. So please, tell me the story behind the Witch's son. | letter |
| donutsweeper | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), John Diggle (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV) | I love the interactions between Oliver, Felicity and Diggle in the later part of S1 when they are working together as "Team Arrow" as well as becoming friends. I'd love to see some team bonding where they're just hanging out and snarking at each other during that time or maybe helping Oliver learn about what passed in the five years he spent on the island. | letter |
| donutsweeper | Nero Wolfe - Rex Stout | Nero Wolfe, Archie Goodwin | While one of the things I absolutely love about these stories is seeing the mysteries unfold through Archie's eyes, I think I it would be really interesting to see one through Nero's point of view instead. What does Nero think about sending Archie and the others off into danger on a regular basis? Does he get frustrated when they fail to return with the information he needs? How would he react to Archie getting hurt or missing a check-in? Gen please. | letter |

| DoreyG | Die Hard (1988) | John McClane (Die Hard), Hans Gubler | I only saw Die Hard for the first time this year and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. But there is, like, no fic of the actual movie itself. Which makes me a little sad, because SO MUCH OF THE AWESOME. But, yes, John McClane and Gubler were my two favourite characters in this movie and so I'd love something focusing on them. Two ideas: an extended scene in the middle of the movie (you know, when they meet and smoke and size each other up) OR an AU after the movie, where Gubler survives and McClane ends up visiting him and they end up talking with each other an awful lot. Or neither of those things, really! I have found literally no fic with Gubler so anything you do involving his and McClane's complicated and interesting relationship is likely to win favour with me. (And if you'd feel comfortable with writing a shippy fic for them that'd only be a bonus. But feel no pressure! Any fic is happy fic, really. ^^) |
letter |
| DoreyG | The Spanish Tragedy - Thomas Kyd | Villuppo (The Spanish Tragedy), Alexandro (The Spanish Tragedy) | The Spanish Tragedy is pretty much one of my favourite plays, like, ever. It's just so dark! And almost hysterical! And yet fully willing to embrace both of those things in a way that is AWESOME. Seriously, pretty much everything about it is brilliant. It is savage in the most perfect way possible. The two characters that I'm interested in are Villuppo and Alexandro, the two main characters in the Portuguese subplot. I always felt like they have BACKSTORY, you know? That their motivations are a lot more complicated than money and pure nobility. I almost got the impression of complicated ex's from them at some points, and so anything exploring that would be absolutely wonderful! |
letter |
| DoreyG | Ripper Street | Bennet Drake, Homer Jackson | Ripper Street was legitimately one of my favourite shows of this year. It was really dark and yet also kind of trashy and yet legitimately good TV ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I liked pretty much every single character in it, and also shipped pretty much every single character too. I've always been a multi-shipper, but this show showed me just how far it stretched! My favourite two characters were Bennet Drake and Homer Jackson, and so that's pretty much my favourite ship too. Drake is just so sweet! With his ex-army roots and his puppy dog eyes and hidden depths and ALL OF THE THINGS. And Jackson is possibly my favourite type of character - the sarcastic badass with hidden depths and a secret heart of gold buried deep down (deep deep DEEP down). I'd really like fic examining their growing relationship. From downright enemies to sniping acquaintances to sort-of friends to... Maybe more? I'd probably prefer a relationship fic, but if your mind doesn't take you in that direction then I won't mind too much. What I mainly want is a fic just examining THEM, in all their rough and sarcastic glory. ^^ |
letter |
| DoreyG | Wallander Series - Henning Mankell | Karl "Kalle" Svedberg (Mankell) | vedberg is pretty much my favourite character in whatever adaptation of Wallander I come across. He's just so kind, and smart, and willing to do absolutely anything for the people that he cares for. And yet the universe is so mean to him! In all of the ways! Which is just cruel and strange and makes my heart hurt, really (even if it does happen to pretty much every character in Wallander. Because happiness is an alien concept in Ystad). What I'd really like, then, is just fic focusing around Svedberg. Fic about anything, really, as long as it focuses on Svedberg! I suppose that I'd prefer an AU where he gets a happy ending of some sort - but, really, I'd probably be equally happy with something that sticks to canon (even if I praise it through hysterical tears)! Some ideas (so I'm not just saddling you with ANYTHING IS GREAT AND ALSO RAINBOWS): Svedberg has a perfectly lovely day where he gets ice-cream and cuddles and possibly a unicorn, Svedberg survives One Step behind and has to deal with the fallout, Svedberg accepts that Wallander is never going to love him and finds some measure of happiness on his own, Svedberg and Ann-Britt have happy friendship bonding times, Svedberg accepts that Wallander is never going to love him and finds some measure of happiness with Martinsson, Svedberg finds that Wallander may actually be willing to love him and ends up in a very happy relationship, Svedberg gets into a happy and stable threesome with Martinsson and Wallander. ...Or, really, none of those. Anything that occurs to you as long as it involves Svedberg! ^^ |
letter |
| DoreyG | Welcome to the Punch (2013) | Jacob Sternwood, Max Lewinsky | I enjoyed Welcome to the Punch a thoroughly surprising amount. It had its faults, yes, but it was a legitimately good film with legitimately great acting and wonderful characters to boot. A thoroughly enjoyable thing! I'm a sucker for nemesis relationships (especially when they end up working together) and so I'd especially like fic involving Sternwood and Lewinsky. I firmly believe that Sternwood came back to bust Lewinsky out at the end of the film, so I'd be thrilled to receive anything involving that! Sternwood and Lewinsky on the run across Europe? Sternwood and Lewinsky dealing with the emotional aftermath of the movie? Sternwood and Lewinsky discovering their similarities and learning to be at least a little bit happy again? Anything along those lines would be great! I'd like shippy fic, but I'm also alright with pre-slash and gen. As long as it examines their bond it's good by me! |
letter |
| DoreyG | 2 Guns (2013) | Robert "Bobby" Trench, Michael "Stig" Stigman | THIS FILM WAS NOMINATED?! Seriously, I am SO thrilled about that. 2 Guns was a film that had a few flaws, but was so enjoyable that you didn't really mind. The buddy cop relationship at the center actually WORKED for once, and it was BRILLIANT. I'd happily watch another few hours of them bouncing off each other, and wouldn't even be tired by the end of it. So, yes, what I'd LOVE is something post-film. Where they're basically road-tripping across the USA, taking down the CIA and being rather badass while they're about it. Their relationship was most definitely my favourite thing about the movie, so lots of focus on that would be great. Again, no need for shipping - but a focus on their bond would be an absolutely wonderful thing. ...I'd also be fairly interested in a genderswap involving them, but you can ignore that if that's not your type of thing. Their bond would be the same no matter what gender they were, it'd just be really interesting to see two badass ladies going across America and getting things done! |
letter |
| Dorinda | I Spy (1965) | Kelly Robinson, Alexander Scott | I love these guys, cast onto their own resources in tough situations and far-away places, looking after each other as best they can. I also love them domesticated, visiting Mom or maybe Kelly's aunt & uncle, helping with the chores. Subtle, nuanced slash is my favorite (no porn required), but in any case, I'd love to see a strong bond between them (not that they never have conflict, conflict is great too, but eventually the bond overcomes all). It's the strong relationship that matters to me. And please oh please a happy ending! (P.S.: No reunion movie stories, I beg--I vastly prefer to believe things didn't happen that way *g*) | letter |
| Dorinda | Peacemakers (2003) | Jared Stone, Larimer Finch | Opposites attract? Perhaps--but I also think Stone and Finch are much less opposite on the inside than they might at first appear, especially as time passes. Subtle, nuanced slash is my favorite (no porn required), but if not, then how about some subtle warm gen? Because they really do end up fascinated by and learning to depend upon each other, however that's expressed. | letter |
| Dorinda | Sinbad (TV) | Gunnar (Sinbad (TV)), Sinbad (Sinbad (TV)) | I love the found-family aspect of this show, I love how different Sinbad and Gunnar are at the beginning (one all about careless impulse, one all about careful self-control) and how they seem to find something in each other. I love Gunnar's angsty backstory, and the way he represses like a sunburnt Viking clam--and the way he obviously feels protective of Sinbad, but also sometimes just has to let him make his own mistakes. Subtle, nuanced slash is my favorite (no porn required), but in any case, I'd like to see the bond between them (I think Gunnar in particular feels this bond strongly, even if it takes Sinbad longer to figure it out). | letter |
| Dorinda | The Sting (1973) | Henry Gondorff, Johnny Hooker | I love the mentoring aspect of Henry and Johnny's dynamic, but I also love the partnering aspect of it--Henry's the old pro, but Johnny brings things to the table that Henry doesn't always see coming. If you want to write them another con, big or small, please do! But don't feel like you have to, either--I'm sure a lot of their life is the time between cons, maybe Johnny learning something new, maybe Henry learning a little something himself. Subtle, nuanced slash is my favorite (no porn required), but in any case, I'd love to feel the warmth and strength of the connection between them. | letter |
| doveheart | The Hour | I'd be equally happy with an ensemble fic or a piece focussed on a few characters. I will be happy with anything, but would much prefer the characters to stay in their appropriate historical time. Take them back to school or university, to wartime or into their future, but I'd prefer to not have a modern AU. Please see my letter for MUCH more detail. |
letter | |
| doveheart | My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) | Johnny Burfoot, Omar Ali | The long-odds fic of my heart: Johnny and Omar in middle age: marriage, riots and the end of Thatcher. Flashbacks are welcome, non-linear/unconventional narratives are welcome, all kinds of strife are welcome (parental death, violence, financial worries, infidelity, despair, anything) so long as Johnny and Omar are still together in the end. (Kids: I don't mind if they have one/some, don't have any or tried to but it never worked out.) | letter |
| doveheart | The Hollow Crown (2012) | Four plays for the price of one, and I'm really nonspecific in my request here because I'd love the series to be played with. Something fractured and linked involving all the plays, or an AU. Say they're not literal kings but wield power over ~25 years (late Victorian/Edwardian era or mid-late twentieth century or the undoubtedly dystopian future, for example). Or something about the Percys (the OTP of all OTPs), or about Richard and Aumerle (yes, this Aumerle, be dark and wretched), or Richard and Bolingbroke, or Hal (with or without Hotspur and/or Kate or with or without Falstaff). Or something interstitial about Henry Bolingbroke/IV, because there's so much of him that's there but isn't. Or, something vague and exploratory about Hal and ephemera, chance, recklessness and what he remembers of Richard. | letter | |
| doveheart | The Hollow Crown RPF | Ben Whishaw (The Hollow Crown RPF) | PG option: Ben falling delicately and sarcastically for everyone. This can be (but need not be, of course) heavily influenced by this excellent piece of rpf, https://twitter.com/DJWhishaw , in voice or format. Or, the gen option: Ben fights crime, possibly while being stalked/shadowed by one or any iterations of Bond (essentially walk-on parts, no lines to speak of and no shipping). Or other spies/law enforcers, real or fictional. Or Shakespeare and Marlowe, ridding the South Bank of villains (and unattended drinks) since the 16th century... Or whatever marginally appropriate scenario you can dream up. Time travel. Ridiculous superpowers. Ben is cursed by small annoyances. Ben's guide to disorganising your life. Though 1000% really, no vampires and no werewolves. |
letter |
| doveheart | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | I like all of the characters, so put any/all of them in this cityverse and it'll be fine! My letter has more detail, along with the optional extra of gratuitous Toby. (Rules? He eats rules for morning tea.) |
letter | |
| doveheart | Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead - Stoppard | Rosencrantz (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern), Guildenstern (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern) | My visual references: Tim Roth & Gary Oldman, Jamie Parker & Samuel Barnett, Tim Minchin & Toby Schmitz. Anything! Modern AUs, pirates, dragons, Vikings, dreadful versions of assorted other plays, heists gone wrong, hostage dramas, anything epistolary (though Guil would never get to grips with 140 characters), more or less Players, more or less Hamlet. Metafictional tropes and/or insertions. Say, Kit Marlowe inserts himself into the play because Hamlet pisses him off just that much. Ros & Guil: I ship them endlessly, and they can bicker and banter and fight and hate each other and cheat and misunderstand and bare-faced lie and cry and make out until the end of time/1000 words, with no other happenings/characters/props and I'd be delighted. Ros is my favourite, and he is welcome to tie Guil up in his own verbosity and laugh at him (Guil is red cheeked, kicking, affronted and adorable. Ros is both vindicated and helpless...) |
letter |
| down | Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) | Snow White (Snow White and the Huntsman), Ravenna (Snow White and the Huntsman) | I am fascinated by the parallels and the connection between Ravenna and Snow White - and the kinds of power and magic in the world. The connection to the land and the idea of the sovereign as personification of it - or of the land as the reflection of the sovereign, or both. The power of the forest, in particular. If you'd like to play with any of that, I would be fascinated to read it. Standard disclaimer: If people are having sex I'd prefer no dubcon/noncon. I happily read gen/het/slash/femmeslash/poly. |
letter |
| down | Seirei no Moribito | Guardian of the Sacred Spirit | With Seirei no Moribito (of which I have the anime, but haven't yet read the novels but don't mind spoilers/book canon instead of anime canon if you'd prefer to write that!) I am interested in Balsa's calm strength, in Tanda's loyalty, in the family dynamic between Balsa, Tanda and Chagum. Plus Balsa and Tanda are the cutest thing ever! I am fascinated by Shuga's loyalty and his duty conflicting, and his decision as to what he should be doing. The conflict between the star diviners and the shaman - as personified in Shuga and Torogai - also fascinates me, and I'd love anything looking at the fantasy aspects, at Nayug and demons and divining, especially with Tanda as well as the other two. I'd really love to know more about the world they live in, the festivals and marketplace games. Standard disclaimer: If people are having sex I'd prefer no dubcon/noncon. I happily read gen/het/slash/femmeslash/poly. |
letter | |
| down | North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV | Nicholas Higgins | I love the interaction between John Thornton and Higgins, and would love to see more of it - whether it's conspiring (honourably) to succeed in business, or in something small like a surprise for Margaret's birthday - I also adore Margaret, so would love to see more of her interacting with Higgins? Standard disclaimer: If people are having sex I'd prefer no dubcon/noncon. I happily read gen/het/slash/femmeslash/poly. |
letter |
| down | Chalet School - Elinor M. Brent-Dyer | Hilda Annersley, Nell Wilson | I would love anything focusing on the relationship between these two. (However you want to interpret it, as well - I'll freely admit I've always read it as pretty much a marriage, though whether platonic or not, I don't really mind?) Particularly the support they offer each other when things go wrong, or how they first grew close, negotiated running the school together... I've all but one of the books, and have no particular preference for time-period. Standard disclaimer: If people are having sex I'd prefer no dubcon/noncon. I happily read gen/het/slash/femmeslash/poly. |

| Doyle | Arrested Development | George Oscar 'Gob' Bluth, Tony Wonder | Really, any GOB/Tony with a happy or hopeful ending for them as a couple will delight me, but I love all the bits and pieces we get in canon about their weird little magic subculture, like Poof magazine and the Magicians' Alliance and the Gothic Castle. Maybe GOB and Tony play up a fake rivalry in the press while secretly dating, or have a joint act after they get together? Or some kind of shenanigans happen at a magicians' convention? | letter |
| Doyle | 30 Rock | Devon Banks, Jack Donaghy | cheming and one-upmanship leading to a moment of sincere connection and/or grudging respect - so, yeah, just these two interacting as they do in canon, but if slash ensued that would be fantastic (or if not, innuendo-laden UST is great too!) | letter |
| Doyle | Parks and Recreation | Ben Wyatt | My OTP is Ben and geekery so I'd love to see something about his fanfic writing, his board games, his TV shows or anything else he's nerdy and passionate about (model UN? Making stop-motion animation? ...accountancy?) Could be Ben alone, or if it overlaps/conflicts with some of Leslie's geeky interests, great - or I'd love to see friendship fic with any of the other characters, particularly Chris or April. | letter |
| Doyle | Better Off Ted | Veronica Palmer, Ted Crisp | I love Veronica and Ted working together (especially if it's after initially being at odds); maybe the office holiday party goes wrong, or Rose has a problem at school, or they have to rescue Lem and Phil from something horrible of their own creation...? Ship fic, or friendship-with-UST. | letter |

| Dragonfly | Merchant of Venice - Shakespeare | Portia (Merchant of Venice), Shylock (Merchant of Venice), Antonio (Merchant of Venice) | I would dearly love a better ending for this play. I saw it this summer and was reminded all over again about how most of the play is a reasonable treatment of mercy vs justice, until suddenly at the end it's like a switch gets flipped and everyone on the stage piles on to Shylock. Some people say Shakespeare had to do that to sell the play to an Elizabethan audience, so whatever. But couldn't we have a better ending? What can you think of that would resolve the whole pound of flesh thing without pillorying Shylock? I have some ideas at my Dear writer letter on Dreamwidth. | letter |
| Dragonfly | Veritas: The Quest | Vincent Siminou, Calvin Banks | Anything in this fandom would please me. I particularly like Calvin and Vincent, but the whole group of them (I love group shows) please me. I'll expound some more at my journal. | letter |
| Dragonfly | Gravity (2013) | Ryan Stone | I really want to read what happens just after the movie. Where does she land? How does she get word to NASA and I'd love to read about her telling the story of what happened. | letter |
| Dragonfly | Blood Ties | Henry Fitzroy (Blood Ties), Vicki Nelson (Blood Ties), Mike Cellusci (Blood Ties) | I dearly loved this show and would love to read anything written in the vein (hah) of the show. Slash, het, caper!fic, anything. I'm not too interested in femslash, though. I love how Henry is not sorry he's a vampire, unlike most other vampire main characters. I love how tough Vicki is. I particularly am intrigued by the fact that Henry remains a devout Catholic. I wonder how he practices, who he confesses to, what does he think of the new pope. Henry's relationship to his past is always fascinating. Does he follow the current royal family's activities? | letter |
| DragonSteel | The Cabin in the Woods (2011) | I would like to see a previous years' scenario. Whether it is a failed (somebody escapes) or successful scenario (all sacrifices die) is up to you. Whether you choose one of the monsters glimpsed in the meltdown or create an original monster is up to you, but I would like there to be a mention of the monster's myth/origin. I would also like some mention of how the sacrifices are being manipulated to force them into the correct scenarios. You can write the POV of the directors/workers, the sacrifices, or even the monster(s). Also, you can choose a different country. I would find it very interesting to see how other countries' horror tropes play in or how their sacrifice scenarios differ from the Americans. Anyway, just thinking about this makes me pretty excited! |
letter | |
| DragonSteel | Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey | I would like to see a story that focuses on somebody who's not a Herald. More specifically I would love a story about a Healer or a Karsite priest. Especially a Karsite priest before or during the "Reformation". I was always kind of disappointed we didn't get more detail on all the chaos that it surely must have caused, those guys were in power and doing their own thing for so long that it can't have been an easy transition even with the Sunlord actively interfering. Were there assassination plots? How did the Demon Summoners react? Etc. (Sorry if my terminology is wrong, it's been a little while). |
letter | |
| DragonSteel | District 9 (2009) | The Black Fluid and the fact that Christopher instantly knew that it was causing Wikus' transformation really intrigues me. Maybe it's used to conquer other species by literally changing them into their species. Or maybe it's just a very very strange coincidence and the first time it happened it caused a huge galactic incident for their species. I would really like a story dealing with either of these scenarios. You could make it so Christopher is explaining things to his kid or to Wikus after he comes back, or a prequel to the movie, or something else. |
letter | |
| DragonSteel | World War Z - Max Brooks | An interview with a child or someone who was a child during the Rising. Or, an interview with survivor(s) from North Korea that managed to break out of the tunnels. |

I don't want any of the following: Tybalt/Júlia realized (one-sided obsession from him is okay), fluff, h/c based in his epilepsy. General dislikes: Genderbends, Elegiac mood pieces where nothing happens, Fannish poetry, Second person POV, Explicit sexual content with pre-pubescent characters Kinks I dislike or am squicked by: Chubby/stuffing, scat, watersports, necrophilia, bestiality, food sex (playing with whipped cream etc), public humiliation, humiliating dirty talk (calling someone bitch, whore etc), mpreg, a/b/o |

I'd like any of the following: Science geekery, epistolary fic, comedy centered around culture clashes and the different personalities of Alexander and Aimé, slashfic (porny, awkward, hesitant, secret... almost anything goes, except not too much angst), Aimé focused h/c with hurt at about movie level and more comfort, "insertfic" between the young years in the Amazonas and the end of the movie, book/movie canon mashups, history based fic where they meet [Historical Person], Hunt the MacGuffin plots in the jungle, Aimé laughing gently at Alexander being enthusiastic and Prussian. I don't want any of the following: Modern AU, too strong focus on internalized homophobia, horribly depressing darkfic General dislikes: Infidelity, Genderbends, Elegiac mood pieces where nothing happens, Fannish poetry, First or second person POV, Explicit sexual content with pre-pubescent characters Kinks I dislike or am squicked by: Chubby/stuffing, scat, watersports, necrophilia, bestiality, food sex (playing with whipped cream etc), public humiliation, humiliating dirty talk (calling someone bitch, whore etc), mpreg, a/b/o |

I'd like any of the following: Thor & Loke on adventure, with or without Tjalfe, Röskva or any other character, lighthearted fic set in the Thor household, magic, artifacts and Asgardian or Vanian customs, anything based on Icelandic sagas, fic about how Loke and Oden became blood brothers or how Thor and Loke became friends, Loke being sneaky, humorous fic with a similar sense of fun as in the comic. Gen very welcome, if you want to write shippy I prefer Thor/Sif/Loke threesome, or Thor/Loke slash set before Thor's marriage I don't want any of the following: Anything based in Avenger's canon, anything that paints Ragnarök considerably darker than in canon, too much angst and darkness General dislikes: Infidelity, Genderbends, Elegiac mood pieces where nothing happens, Fannish poetry, First or second person POV, Explicit sexual content with pre-pubescent characters Kinks I dislike or am squicked by: Chubby/stuffing, scat, watersports, necrophilia, bestiality, food sex (playing with whipped cream etc), public humiliation, humiliating dirty talk (calling someone bitch, whore etc), mpreg, a/b/o |

I'd like any of the following: Anything that focuses on the characters. For instance pre-canon! Either Tiger and Mackie as soldiers, or how they clawed their way to the top of the London il/legal world. Post-canon! And then what happens...? Friendship, or slash, or three- (or moresomes) all work, as long as they're consensual. Or go wild and experiment with the form! Have mostly seen experimental versions so my headcanon is weird anyway. Horrible people being horrible in fun ways is great, as is some character development, things which incorporates song lyrics too. If you can figure out a way to write a crossover with Les Miz, I'd love that too. Or a surprise! I don't want any of the following: Deathfic unless morbid humor, a piece which is all stream of consciousness writing, infidelity that hurts someone in a realistic way, modern AU, anything too fluffy that ignores the cynical worldview General dislikes: Genderbends, Elegiac mood pieces where nothing happens, Fannish poetry, Explicit sexual content with pre-pubescent characters Kinks I dislike or am squicked by: Chubby/stuffing, scat, watersports, necrophilia, bestiality, food sex (playing with whipped cream etc), public humiliation, humiliating dirty talk (calling someone bitch, whore etc), mpreg, a/b/o |

| dreamer_98 | Primeval: New World | Ange Finch, Ken Leeds, Toby Nance | I would like to see a story where Ange moves on from Evan. Perhaps an AU where she decides to take the job with the Seong (?) group, or what she does after the series ends. She can interact with any other character from the series (other than Evan), especially Leeds. Some fluffy Ange/Ken flirting would be welcome, or just have them be good friends and confidants. My second character choice is Ken Leeds. I would like to see his background explored; how he got involved with Project Magnet, or his military background in general. My final character choice is Toby Nance. I would like to read a story about her growing up; how she became a tech wiz and the difficulties she faced with her strict upbringing. Perhaps show the beginnings of her relationship with Nat. |
letter |
| dreamer_98 | Treme | Annie (Treme), LaDonna Batiste-Williams, Albert Lambreaux | Annie is my first character choice. I would really like her thoughts explored towards the end of season 3, especially regarding the dissolution of her relationship with Davis. Another option is to explore her life before coming to New Orleans. My second choice is a story with LaDonna and Albert. I would love a quiet scene between the two, giving each other strength and encouragement through their respective personal battles. |
letter |
| dreamer_98 | Vexed (TV) | Georgina Dixon, Jack Armstrong | I'd like a story where Jack takes Georgina as his date to his brother's wedding, and what shenanigans transpire. UST is welcome, but no matter what, I enjoy the bantering between the two leads. | letter |
| dreamer_98 | Whitechapel (TV) | Joseph Chandler, Edward Buchan, Megan Riley | My first character choice is DI Joseph Chandler. I would like to see his past explored further in the story, both with his family life and how his OCD evolved. I would also enjoy a story that deals with his present struggles as DI, or a scene focusing on the friendship between him and DS Miles. My second choice is Buchan/Riley. I would love a sweet scene between the two of them, either as a romantic pairing or just as friends. I'd love to see them bond over their shared love of history. |
letter |
| dreamer_98 | Bomb Girls | Betty McRae, Teresa (Bomb Girls) | I would really like a Betty/Teresa story. I'd like to see Teresa's past explored; how she got involved in the army, and perhaps her own struggles with her sexuality. A simple, sweet scene between the two before Teresa's departure would also be appreciated. | letter |
| dreamer_98 | Silk (TV) | Clive Reader, Martha Costello | I would like a story with Martha first coming up the ranks as a barrister, dealing with the obstacles she faced. I'd like to see when she and Clive first met, or maybe the first case they worked on together. Maybe Clive did something to betray Martha, and that's how she learned never to trust him. | letter |
| dreamiflame | Push (2009) | Cassie Holmes, Nick Gant | Cassie should be of age if there is sex, please. I dislike angst, BDSM and omegaverse. I would prefer something that keeps their powers intact, but I don't mind different time/place aus. I am also perfectly happy with adventures, misadventures, humor and a platonic relationship. | |
| dreamiflame | Vikings (TV) | Ragnar Lothbrok, Lagertha (Vikings), Athelstan (Vikings) | I dislike BDSM and omegaverse. While I don't generally go for angst, Athelstan is going to have a lot of ISSUES moving from being a priest to being a Viking, so I'm okay with explorations of that. I love their dynamic and would love to see more of the interactions between all three. Sex welcome. | |
| dreamiflame | Sunshine (2007) | Corazon (Sunshine) | Corazon is so neat. I would love more of a look at her and her experiences. How did she decide to go on the voyage, how did she get interested in plants, etc. | |
| dreamiflame | RocknRolla (2008) | Handsome Bob, One Two | I dislike BDSM and omegaverse. So does Handsome Bob convince One Two that they should do some more dancing? Or do they get themselves all shot up again? | |
| dreamiflame | Slayers (Anime & Manga) | Zelgadis Greywords, Lina Inverse, Gourry Gabriev | I have seen all of Slayers, Next and Try, but I've not seen anything past that, so please don't spoil me. I would love to see Lina and Gourry working together to convince Zelgadis it's not that bad and he's being hung up over his looks for no good reason. Or an adventure where they have to work together to save themselves, others, etc. I just love the three of them! | |

| dreamsonfire | 999: Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors | Santa (999 Nine Hours), June (999) | I usually really love close sibling relationships, and I loved everything about these two and how tragic their story was. I only wish we'd gotten to see more of their genuine personalities or the two of them interacting more -- so I'd be interested to see something that explores what they went through a bit more. I'd love a fic about these two set after the true ending that ignores VLR continuity and instead focuses on them moving on with their lives after the end of 999. Where do they go? What do they do? After how much time and effort they had to spend to put together the Nonary Game, I imagine it'd be incredibly difficult for them to move on from that, along with the guilt from having to drag the other characters into it. See letter for more prompts/other details. |
letter |
| dreamsonfire | Fire Emblem: Soen no Kiseki/Akatsuki no Megami | Fire Emblem Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn | Ike (Fire Emblem), Senerio | Soren | I only recently got into these games, but I completely fell in love with pretty much everything about them. Ike has easily become one of my favourite characters -- I loved his development over the course of the games and his relationship with Soren. I'd be really interested in anything set after they leave in the epilogue about all the different places they go and the things they do. Or something set during the time in between the end of the war and the epilogue before they leave -- I really love the whole family dynamic of the Greil Mercenaries, so an ensemble fic would also be great. See letter for more prompts/other details. |
letter |
| dreamsonfire | Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward | June (999), Tenmyouji (Virtue's Last Reward) | I find Akane really fascinating, and I love the tragic aspect of her character, how she wanted to have a normal life but gave it up in order to do what she needed to instead. I love the complexity to her too, and how she's willing to go to extreme lengths, no matter what she has to do, in order to accomplish great things. I'd be interested in something about all the different realities she must have seen. She's become a person who thinks in a completely different way compared to other people -- I'd love something that shows her evolution from the girl we saw glimpses of in 999 to who we see in VLR. See letter for more prompts/other details. |
letter |
| dreamsonfire | Dangan Ronpa | Ikusaba Mukuro, Kirigiri Kyouko | I really adored these two characters and would love anything with them interacting. I like how they both have similar kind of reserved personalities, but their specialties are completely different and think that could create an interesting dynamic between them. And I really liked their interaction in Dangan Ronpa IF (I loved pretty much everything about IF, at that). I'd be really interested in a post-DR IF story in particular where the two of them get to know each other better while trying to survive. I imagine some of the other characters would still hold some suspicions towards Mukuro, so I'd also like to see something dealing with how she's basically become an enemy to both sides. I also don't mind ensemble fic -- I really love the dynamic between the whole class. Any sort of story focusing on one of these two while the group try to survive the post-apocalyptic world and try to bring everything back to how it'd been would be great. Or a story about everyone having their memories returned later. See letter for more prompts/other details. |
letter |
| dropsofviolet | Centaur no Nayami | Centaur's Worries | This little slice of life fandom has completely captured my heart and I'd be really excited to see pretty much anything about it, especially in the tone of the manga. I love all of the characters so feel free to write about whomever you like best. If you find it as interesting as I do, I'd also be happy with worldbuilding. I love all of the tiny details in Worries, from the way that centaurs get dressed to their different myths and stories. | letter | |
| dropsofviolet | Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated (TV 2010) | Velma Dinkley (Mystery Inc.), Marcie Fleach | When I watched this show earlier this year, I was astonished to see almost no fic for it, and almost no Velma/Marcie fic, which is practically a crime. So yes, I would love shipfic, if that's in your wheelhouse, but if not, their friendship was one of my favorite things in the new show. I'd be interested in hearing more about the world of the finale, but if you have a better idea, go for it. Please involve the rest of the gang as much or as little as you like. | letter |
| dropsofviolet | Dr. Carp: Paranormal Therapist (Podcast) | Audrey (Dr. Carp) | I really like everything about the world of Dr. Carp, but Audrey is my favorite character. We know so little about her, and I'd love to see some details filled in, stuff about her childhood or her current life. Shipfic is fine with any of the other nominated characters, if you want to do that (although it might be a little weird with Lena, haha). I'm really interested in the Order of Zorya and what that life is like, but even simple games like Hangman are fun with Audrey, so I know I won't be disappointed by anything you wrote for me. | letter |
| dropsofviolet | Orange is the New Black | Carrie "Big Boo" Black, Claudette Pelage, Sophia Burset | I'm sorry for the odd mix of characters -- please don't feel like you have to include all of them in one fic! These four are my favorites out of the many amazing ladies on Orange is the New Black, and I would love a fic about any of them. I would be really interested in post-prison stories, if that sparks anything for you. For specific character prompts, if you want them, please see my letter! | letter |
| dropsofviolet | Theobroma - Diane Duane | Ken Moorman | Probably the thing I enjoy the most about Theobroma is getting to see adult wizards. I love Kit and Nita, and Tom and Carl definitely count as adults, but getting out of their specific setting opens up so many interesting possibilities. What is office life when you're a wizard, anyway? Is your computer slowly becoming sentient? If adult wizards don't work for you, what was Ken's Ordeal like? What was his childhood like? You could also do casefic in the vein of the original story, Ken placing someone where they need to be. | letter |

(They have not been published in the real world, please don't share) Alternately, you can friend her on facebook and get them that way. | letter |
| Dryad | Whitechapel (TV) | Joseph Chandler, Ray Miles, Edward Buchan | I'd love something creepy, but showing affection between the characters. Perhaps creeping other people out with their conversation? If there's any even remote possibility of humor, I'd love it! | letter |

| duckgirlie | The Thick of It (TV) | Adam Kenyon, Stewart Pearson, Fergus Williams | Firstly, I'm a fan of all of the characters, so don't feel the need to be restricted to just these three. Mostly, I would like fic that looks at how Fergus and Adam are by turns loathsome and greasily charming, and how they are obviously made for each other, even if only in a strictly platonic way. (although I would argue you don't throw yourself between your best friend and an enraged Glen Cullen without feeling a little extra something for them) And I love the base conflict of Stewart's character, where he really does seem to genuinely think he's making the party better, even thought they're all terrible. A story that works with Stewart's woolly sense of how to to things played off against Fergus' fumbling incompetence and Adam's empathy-less manouvering would be wonderful. |

| duckgirlie | Literary Trysts It Gives Me Great Joy To Think About RPF | Walt Whitman (Literary Trysts), Oscar Wilde (Literary Trysts) | ||
| duckgirlie | Frances Ha (2012) | Frances Halladay, Sophie Levee | FRIENDSHIP. What I love about this film is that it treats friendship as being as important as romantic relationships. So a fic about Frances and Sophie's friendship, at any stage, would be lovely. | letter |
| duckgirlie | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Adora Belle Dearheart, Polly "Ozzer" Perks, Maladict (Discworld), Angua von Uberwald | I would really love fic that deals with gender roles on the disc, seeing as all these ladies deal with various gendered expectations all the time, and have such different responses. Fic that brings Polly and Maladict to Ankh Morpork would be particularly wonderful. | letter |
| dudavocado | Elementary (TV) | Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Joan Watson (Elementary), Marcus Bell, Tobias Gregson | Undercover married? Fake dating going horribly wrong? Something fun, minimal angst. Can have or not have fake dating, would love if there was just a lot of fond going around at the very least. Ooh, a hostage situation that goes sideways would be cool too. Open to most anything. | letter |
| dudavocado | Frances Ha (2012) | Frances Halladay | Undateable! Lots of Frances and Sophie friendship times. Frances and Benji possibly starting something or beginning something, but friendship times there as well. Frances living her life really and feeling happy about it. If other characters like Lev, Rachel or Patch show up that's cool too. | letter |
| dudavocado | The Good Wife (TV) | Alicia Florrick, Cary Agos | Florrick, Agos and Associates! Their first major case or their first major case against Lockhart & Gardner. Their relationship developing as friends and as partners. Some flirting maybe. An away case. Why would both partners be there? Why not? Or an AU where Alicia is the State's Attorney and she has an affair with Cary. I'd be down for either scenario. Totally got the second idea from mardia. Um, but for real: I could go gen (friendshippy) or actual shippy with these two. But if they were to kiss in the FA&A fic and not have it be as awkward as it probably should be that would be cool too. Cool with anyone showing up. | letter |
| dudavocado | Scandal (TV) | Mellie Grant, Olivia Pope | You can include other people, but I want the focus to be primarily on Mellie or Olivia. I'd love a fic where Mellie leaves Fitz. She leaves him and she exposes him and then she plays everything cool from there. Not grieving ex-wife. Not bitter. She just throws him over and tries to figure out how best to come out of the fallout unscathed and with the potential to pursue the career she's always wanted. So maybe some flashbacks to how she ended up with Fitz, ended up grooming him instead of working for herself. Things like that. Has she had any other relationships? I would be so down for her getting laid. And maybe Olivia helps her by not doing anything to damage her? Maybe she doesn't take the case. Or just a story about Olivia in a post Fitz world. Cyrus, Jake, & Associates, and even Fitz can show up, but I'm mostly about Mellie or Olivia here. | letter |
| dudski | Bad Machinery | Charlotte Grote, Shauna Wickle, Mildred Haversham | Four comics a week is never enough - I'd love anything! Fic about Charlotte and the others growing up, going through school, and deciding if mysteries are really what they want to dedicate their lives to would be AMAZING, as would case fic, or pre-series fic, or fic about what they do in the long, boring downtime between major mysteries, or what they get up to ten years from now! Whatever story you decide to tell will be perfect. | |
| dudski | Ben and Kate (TV) | Kate Fox, Tommy Adams | I'd love to read about Kate and Tommy getting together, ideally in a situation where he starts to help out with Maddie a lot (maybe one of Ben's schemes takes off, so he can't be around as much, and Kate's finally got her own bar, and it's too much to handle on her own?) and then there are FEELINGS and CONFUSION and MORE FEELINGS. But I'm also in love with this entire group, and I'd love anything about them - how they all met, where everyone was when Maddie was born, messes they've gotten into, whatever you'd like! | |
| dudski | Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV) | Rosa Diaz, Amy Santiago, Jake Peralta, Ray Holt | I would LOVE to read about a holiday gift exchange at the Nine-Nine - maybe as a mandatory team-building exercise that Holt institutes to replace the wild party Jake usually throws every year. | |
| dudski | Go On (TV) | Lauren Bennett, Steven (Go On), Anne (Go On), Owen (Go On) | I'd absolutely love a story about any of the following: Steven and Lauren actually getting together, Anne and Owen bonding in their own snarky way, any kind of group shenanigans, or Lauren figuring her life out (with or without help from the group). | |
| dudski | Hex Hall Series - Rachel Hawkins | Sophie Mercer, Archer Cross | College fic! I am totally nuts over the idea of these two going to a normal college like normal kids. I'd obviously love shippy Sophie/Archer fic but if you want to go gen, maybe bring Jenna in, then that works too! Is Archer just baffled by the entire concept of dining halls? Does Sophie end up getting super into school spirit despite herself? | |
| dudski | Ultimate Comics Spider-Man | Clone Gwen Stacy (Ultimateverse), Jessica Drew (Ultimates), Kate Bishop (Ultimates), Miles Morales (Ultimates) | I'd love to read about what life was like for any or all of these characters during the year Miles wasn't Spider-Man. Did Gwen and Jessica ever join forces to gang up on Miles? How did they take it when Miles told them he was done? Or, for Katie specifically, I'd love to read anything you can come up with about what her life is like in the Ultimate universe. Is she enjoying a normal life, or is she more similar to her 616 counterpart than she appears? We know from the glances we saw of her in #12 and #19 that she's been paying attention to Miles for a while - does she have any idea that he's got such a huge secret? How did they get together? | |
| DV-Skitz (Skitz_phenom) | The Silvered - Tanya Huff | I'm extremely open minded on this one! As much as I loved the characters (especially Sean Reiter) and their development, I also found the concept of this book fascinating and would love to see it explored. So yeah - anything Mirian/Tomas/Reiter post book is great (shippy or not), or worldbuilding would be fantastic, or OC Mage-pack &/or Pack would be neat, or exploring some of the secondary characters (during the events of the book or post)... Like I said - extremely open minded! | letter | |
| DV-Skitz (Skitz_phenom) | Valor Series - Tanya Huff | Werst (Valor), Ressk (Valor), Binti Mashona, Alamber (Valor) | I love the idea of Torin's new 'team' being kick-ass and going on awesome ex-space marine adventures (much as I love Torin and Craig, the crew were my favorite thing about the last book) - so I'd pretty much love anything to do with any of them. Fun action/adventure, mystery, intrigue, 'day in the life', smutty di'taykan fun... it's all good. I'm also extremely partial to Ressk/Werst and their relationship. | letter |
| DV-Skitz (Skitz_phenom) | Blood-Smoke Series - Tanya Huff | Lee Nicholas | Again - I'm pretty open on this request as well. I'd love something Lee-centric. Whether that's exploring his thoughts during the events of the books, or looking at his and Tony's relationship after, or even just some wacky CB Productions hijinks from his POV. I love all the characters from the books - so including any of them is great. | letter |
| DV-Skitz (Skitz_phenom) | Robotech Novels - Jack McKinney | Lancer | Yellow Dancer (Robotech Novels - Jack McKinney) | It's been quite a long time since I've read the Robotech novels (though I do own all of them... somewhere - and 'Lonely Soldier Boy' is still on my ipod!) - but I do recall how much I loved Lancer as a character. So, Lancer-centric fic would be adored. Pre-series, exploring his persona of Yellow Dancer, and how he used her during the war would be great, or how he's had to change after traveling with Scott & the rest. Anything that really focuses on Lancer would be fantastic. | letter |
| DV-Skitz (Skitz_phenom) | Enchantment Emporium - Tanya Huff | Alysha Gale, Michael (Enchantment Emporium) | I love the friendship between Michael and Allie and how it evolved and what it grew into. I also adored Michael as a character and don't think we got enough of him! I'd love just something that focuses on their friendship, or sends the two of them on an adventure, or even just the pair of them in their PJs, eating ice cream (and pie), dishing about their love lives. Of course, I love all of the other characters from the books as well, so feel free to include them - but something that keeps Allie & Michael the center of things would be great! | letter |
| DWEmma | Casson Family - Hilary McKay | Eve Casson | I'd like a story of Eve's childhood. She can be any age under 18. I want to know what caused her to be the shed-dwelling, hoarding, loving flake that she became. | |
| DWEmma | Back Home - Michelle Magorian | Virginia "Rusty" Dickinson | I'd love a story set far in the future, with Rusty as a grown woman, maybe where she goes back "home" to America for the first time since the Blitz ended? Extra points if she's Beattie's age when she does it. | |
| DWEmma | The Last Unicorn - Peter S. Beagle | After the end of the book, Molly and Shmendrick and the Pirate Cat head off into the sunset together. (Just talked to Peter S. Beagle about that two days ago. He feels it's very important that the Pirate Cat is to stay with them.) I want to know where they go next. I'd like the Harpy Celaeno to reappear. | ||

| choinautumn | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman | Iorek Byrnison, Will Parry, Lee Scoresby, Serafina Pekkala | - The adventures of Lee Scoresby the Texan before the events of the series (with optional cameos by other characters, as appropriate!), and world building of the other nations of Lyra's world. Political development welcome. - Will's life after the series. We read lots about Lyra's world and her life after--how does Will learn to live his life to become the kind of person he's meant to? How does living with his daemon affect his life in a world without them? - I'd love to see any kind of political expansion of Pullman's world--how do witches and bears interact with the nations of the world, and how do they maintain autonomy and their cultures in a (we can guess!) growing and imperialistic world? |
letter |
| choinautumn | Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) | Misfit Toys (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) | Would love to see some elaboration about the misfit toys--and especially what kind of "Misfit" toys come about in times following the 1960s (1970s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s) | letter |
| choinautumn | Much Ado About Nothing (2012) | I got the impression watching the film that it was set almost in a mob-style setting (or something similarly intriguing!)--I would love some elaboration on the world going on among the film, in a setting leading up to, during, or following the events of the film. Options here are limitless, though I do love me some hints at the romance going on in the film. (How does Hero forgive? Do Beatrice and Benedick abandon the chips on their respective shoulders, or do they struggle with love after the honeymoon period ends?) | letter | |
| choinautumn | Greek Mythology | Persephone (Greek Mythology) Hades (Greek Mythology) | I've read many interesting interpretations of the Persephone/Hades myth, and I would be thrilled to pieces to see even more innovative ones. Regency/Georgian era? Pre-Revolutionary/Revolutionary France? Cyberpunk? Gaslamp fantasy? Basically anything could flip my switch here. Please see my letter for details about this request. | letter |
| choinautumn | Cities (Anthropomorphic) | In my heart, I would love to see DC anthropomorphic, including DC vs. other cities (I'm a DC girl! Again, see my letter for some elaboration on some heartfelt reasons I <3 my city) and the classic DC vs. NYC debate. Capital cities of the world! Interesting stories characterizing cities by their unique cultures and people! Anthropomorphize your city! I am really just enthusiastic about all the possibilities this fandom presents. | letter | |
| EdgeOfLight | Literary Trysts It Gives Me Great Joy To Think About RPF | Walt Whitman (Literary Trysts), Oscar Wilde (Literary Trysts) | Please give me Oscar/Walt! I don't even care if your story has a plot, so long as it's got some poetical dialogue - or, dear god, - poetry! I love both of these guys intensely and cannot get enough of the thought of them together! | letter |
| EdgeOfLight | 13 Going On 30 (2004) | Jenna Rink, Matty Flamhaff, Lucy Wyman, Richard Kneeland | I found this film intriguing but problematical. I would love to see a story that involves Jenna finding a middle way, with both love and a career she loves. Totally open to Jenna/Lucy or Jenna/Matty -or both! | letter |
| EdgeOfLight | Another Gay Movie (2006) | Jarod (Another Gay Movie), Griff (Another Gay Movie), Andy Wilson (Another Gay Movie), Nico (Another Gay Movie) | I'd love to see an American Wedding-style sequel, with Jarod and Griff having the big gay wedding of their dreams, and hijinks ensue! | letter |
| EdgeOfLight | Stardust (2007) | Yvaine (Stardust), Una of Stormhold, Captain Shakespeare | I'd love to see Yvaine and Una bonding as mother and daughter-in-law. How does Una take to having a daughter-in-law, years after having to give up her son, and how does Yvaine find having a human mother figure after so many thousands of years with Mother Moon and her star sisters? And I'd love to see Captain Shakespeare in there somewhere because he's basically awesome, maybe dispensing fashion tips or taking the two of them on an adventure in his ship (or both)! I would enjoy see more of Shakespeare's identity explored - is he just fond of crossdressing or is he trans* or non-binary in some way? | letter |
| dna_blackadder | Honey West (TV) | Honey West, Sam Bolt, Bruce the Ocelot | Honey-centric casefic! This show is mostly forgotten now, and that makes me sad, because she was so awesome. Give me more of her being awesome, and Sam backing her up, and Bruce! If you want to write crackfic, it could be from Bruce's point of view. :) | letter |
| dna_blackadder | Fawlty Towers | Basil Fawlty, Sybil Fawlty | Pre-series Basil/Sybil -- how did they manage to end up together in the first place? Was it ever a happy relationship, or did they give each other hell from Day One? Or both? It is a great mystery; I must know! Or just a closer look at their relationship in canon, if you understandably consider this mystery unsolvable. | letter |
| dna_blackadder | Parks and Recreation | Leslie Knope, Ben Wyatt | Leslie/Ben fluff, possibly holiday-themed if that floats your boat. How does their first Christmas morning as a married couple go? What sort of ridiculous romantic surprises have they planned for each other? And does Ben participate in Yuletide? If so, how does Leslie react? Or just anything where they're adorable and in love! | letter |
| dna_blackadder | History Boys (2006) | David Posner (History Boys 2006), Tom Irwin (History Boys 2006) | I'm specifically requesting the movie because it allows for the possibility of Posner not being horribly depressed for the rest of his life. I'd like to see him experience changing times and a happier future and eventually re-meet Irwin. A future friendship or even just a conversation would be fine, but I do ship them, so if you're not squicked by that, feel free to go for it. | letter |
| dna_blackadder | This is Spinal Tap (1984) | Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins | Nigel loves David, whether he himself properly comprehends it or not. Nigel's heart sinking when Jeanine shows up is obvious to everyone (except David). Is it requited? Tell me more! | letter |
| dna_blackadder | All the President's Men (1976) | Carl Bernstein (All the President's Men), Bob Woodward (All the President's Men) | I want it on the record that I didn't nominate this, so I'm clearly not the only terrible person who watched this movie and shamefully wanted to slash them the whole time. If you are that other terrible person, then I say to you: go for it! Or if you're not so terrible, just write anything about them -- their coverage of Watergate is interesting enough on its own! | letter |
| Edonohana | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Anaesthesia | I love the milieu of the novel, with all its quirky little details. I love Door and her family. I love the Marquis de Carabas. But mostly, I would love a story where Anesthesia comes back. Every time I re-read the book, I cannot believe that she is really gone for good. Maybe Door's search for her family discovers her — could she open a door into wherever Anesthesia is? Or maybe Anesthesia is let go, for some purpose? Or escapes, maybe with something pursuing her? Or maybe the rats launch a rescue mission? I just want the little Rat-Speaker to get a happy ending and not be swallowed up by darkness forever. |
letter |
| Edonohana | Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey | Mirrim (Dragonriders of Pern), Menolly | I love the intensity of dragon/rider relationships, the military-esque camaraderie of the Weyr, the poignance of misfits finding a purpose and a home, and the shameless wish-fulfillment of the whole set-up. I love Mirrim and Menolly's friendship as seen in Dragonsong, and Menolly's self-sufficiency in her cave of fire lizards. I love Path. I love all the details of life in Harper Hall and Benden Weyr. I have gotten fic about Mirrim and Menolly before, and it was great. I just think the world needs more of it. I like them as friends. I also like them as a couple. I would like to see a story where they have an adventure together, or where Mirrim visits Harper Hall (maybe wounded after a Threadfall, since Master Oldive is there — I really like Master Oldive), or where Menolly visits Benden Weyr, or anything with some plot and action and interaction. A canon-based AU would also be great — there are so many interesting points of divergence. What if Menolly stayed in Benden Weyr and Impressed a dragon? What if the Southern queens hadn't killed each other, and Mirrim had stayed at Southern Weyr? I do not love the treatment of Mirrim in The White Dragon, so please ignore that. I am neutral on their canon love interests, so feel free to either include or totally ignore them. I've read all the non-Todd books, but the time periods I like are the Dragonsong/Dragonsinger/Dragonflight/Dragonquest era, before everyone starts having babies and settling down. |

| Edonohana | Top Chef Masters RPF | I love this show for its food, for the personalities of the chefs, and for its emphasis on camaraderie, respect, and friendly competition rather than hostility or embarrassment-squick backbiting. My favorite chefs are Susan Feniger, Anita Lo, Susur Lee, and Sang Yoon, but I also really like Rick Bayless, Marcus Samuelsson, and Art Smith. You don't have to put all four of them into your story! Any one, or any combination of them, would be fine. I like how totally bad-ass Anita Lo is, and how her chef's jacket appeared to be a karate gi top. I like Susan Feniger's playfulness and playful sensuality. Her restaurant Street is one of my favorite ever, and the Kaya toast that got her kicked off the show is one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. I like how Susur Lee was so cranky and funny. It cracked me up how every time he complained that the challenges were culturally unfamiliar and put him at a disadvantage, he'd go on to kick everyone's ass. I like Sang Yoon's wisecracks, hatred of ketchup, and bromance with Douglas. Probably my favorite single episode was "Magic Chefs,” where they went to Magic Castle and Anita Lo did that amazing, slightly disturbing "scallop” dish. I've seen all the seasons, but you don't have to stick to actual season line-ups. For your story, I would like to read luscious descriptions of food plus amusing interaction featuring one or more of my favorite chefs. Any way you can manage this is fine: invent a fun challenge or do a reunion or send the chefs to Pern or Perelandra or any other fictional milieu with which I am familiar. (Check for my fandoms at my rachelmanija LJ if that appeals.) Please write about the public personas and cooking of the chefs, not their off-screen personal lives. That is to say: gen only, please. |

| Edonohana | Flight of the Heron - D. K. Broster | Ewen Cameron, Keith Windham | I love Keith and Ewen and their slashtastic relationship and their truly epic amounts of hurt-comfort and fainting into each other's arms and "love or loyalty” angst. I would like to see them interacting more, ideally with some with angst and hurt-comfort. And possibly sword fighting and narrow escapes. I would be happy with the book's level of subtext, or with getting more explicit. Obviously, the structure of the book makes any story challenging. I would be completely up for a post-novel AU: Ewen could haul the wounded Keith on to the boat, and there could be more angst and hurt-comfort. Or you could go completely AU and set it in SPAAAACE and have the battle be over Ewen's home orbital or something. Or you could squeeze a missing scene into the book. Or just ignore the "five meetings only” thing. For this fandom, I am fine with any sort of ending: happy, fix-it, tragic, or bittersweet. |
letter |
| Edonohana | Dreamsnake - Vonda McIntyre | Snake (Dreamsnake) | I love the entire concept. I love the biology. I love the post-apocalypticness. I love Snake. I love Melissa. I love the sense of caring and hope and love that pervades the story, the way that terrible things happen but people try to make them better, and people can always, as long as they live, choose to change themselves, change the lives of others, change the ways of the world. And I love the snakes. I was kind of bored by Arevin, so ideally your story would either not involve him or make him more interesting. Ditto any of the villains. I'd like a story either about Snake and Melissa post-novel, or about Snake's earlier adventures. Gen is fine, but if you want to do a romantic or sexual relationship, I would love to see Snake with another woman. I don't have any particular story ideas, but if you're in desperate need of one, a few possibilities which occur to me are getting into a walled city, Snake setting out to give a dreamsnake to some particular healer and having adventures along the way, or Melissa finding her vocation, whether it's healing or something else. |
letter |
| Edonohana | The Rifter - Ginn Hale | I love the intricacy and epic quality of the book, but obviously that would be hard to replicate in less than Hale's 1000 pages! I also fell in love with many of the characters. In terms of your story, I'd like good character interaction and a bit of action, adventure, romance, and/or worldbuilding. I really would enjoy a story focusing on any of the nominated characters — you don't have to include them all. Relationships I especially like are John and Kyle (in both timelines), Kyle and Rousma, and Pesha and any female character she fancies. I would definitely not mind seeing the romantic couples get some action, if you're so inclined. I'd love to see what John and Kyle do after the end of the book. I'd love to see Pesha teleporting around and awkwardly flirting. I love tiny, determined Rousma. I was fascinated by the Gray Space. Of the characters I didn't nominate, I especially liked Ji. The egg-laying weasels cracked me up. If you set it during the action of the book rather than post-book, my only request is not to make it too dark or depressing — I mention this because a lot of what we don't see on the page was probably not written because it was such a low point for the characters. In particular, the period where Kyle was watching John and John didn't know him yet would probably be too sad and lonely for me. Ditto anything about Rousma that isn't post-book. |

| Effex | Hayate X Blade | Kibi Momoka, Inugami Isuzu | Out of all the potential pairings for this manga, I love Momo/Isuzu the most - their dynamic, Isuzu's crush, Momo's Momoness. I'd love (wow, I'm saying 'love' a lot) to read about their ridiculous love story, or (gen or slash) a slice of life as adults, or fighting demons or other sword bearers and generally being their ridiculous, kickass selves. Alternatively, it'd be great to see more of Isuzu's past and magical training, or a look at school life outside of the duels. | letter |
| Effex | The Yogscast | Duncan Jones | Lalna | LividCoffee, Kim Richards | Nanosounds, Nilesy, Zoey Proasheck | Zoeya | I love the Yogscast, but I really, *really* love these four in particular. It'd be great to see them on their own or in any combination - Kim's continuing adventures in apprenticeship, Zoey having more mushroom adventures/going on gigs with her band/generally being awesome and frustrating Rythian, Nilesy finally quitting his job and moving to Bristol, Duncan's quest to get everyone to read Discworld, team challenge shenanigans, whatever! I'd prefer slash, gen, or Zoey/Rythian (or Zoey/Rythian/Duncan). | letter |
| Effex | Blue Beetle (Comics) | Traci Thirteen (Blue Beetle), Milagro Reyes (Blue Beetle), Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle), Nadia (Blue Beetle) | Anything pre-reboot! Jaime juggling superheroing and dental school, Nadia being not dead/fridged and all the awesome things she does - hanging out with Oracle, starting her own hero tech support business, anything - Milagro and various unlikely babysitters, or how she becomes a hero (super or not), TRACI <3 and growing into her powers, or solving cases with the Croatoans, whatever you want! Het, slash, and gen are fine. I love Jaime/Traci, but it's cool if you want write them in other pairings. | letter |
| Effex | Runaways (Comics) | Xavin (Runaways), Karolina Dean (Runaways), Gertrude Yorkes (Runaways), Alex Wilder (Runaways) | I'd love to see Gert and Alex find their way back to the land of the living, either together or independently, or dealing with life post-resurrection. I'd love to see what Karolina's up to - is she in college? Or backpacking across Europe? Running a food truck in LA (that's secretly a Runaway's base of operations)? Is she still seeing Julie Power? What about Xavin? It'd be great to see hir back on Earth, navigating hir gender and sexuality, trying to figure out life on an alien world. Gen, slash, and het are all okay! | letter |

| Eida | Final Fantasy VI | It would be interesting to see what happened in the world post-story. There's a lot of rebuilding to do, after all. There's also the disappearance of magic from the world--Terra, Strago and Relm have all had magic as a part of them for their entire lives, and Celes for much of hers. |
letter | |
| Eida | Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena | Himemiya Anthy | Anthy fascinates me as a character, so I'd love to see a story in which she's a major part--perhaps something that more deeply explores her thoughts/perspectives on the events of the series, or her adventures post-series. | letter |
| Eida | Star Control | I love the entire galaxy, with all its aliens and their varied "hats"--the cowardly-yet-adorable Spathi, the proud warrior Yehat, the cheerful new-age-flufftastic Pkunk, the argumentative Zot-Fot-Pik, the just plain bizarre (and ominous) Orz... even the villainous-yet-tragic Ur-Quan. Pretty much anything in the setting would be neat! |
letter | |
| Eida | Cookie Clicker | Anything you can come up with story-wise would be great--this isn't really a game with a plot of its own, but there's a lot of delightful absurdity going on to draw from, from the increasingly ridiculous methods of producing more and more cookies to some of the things that show up on the news ticker (such as "Elder gods from the whole cosmos have awoken to taste your cookies" and "surroundings of local cookie facilities now overrun with kittens in adorable little suits. Authorities advise to stay away from the premises"). | letter | |

| EK (ilyat) | Final Fantasy VI | Celes Chere (Final Fantasy VI), Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI) | I'd really love to see a story that explores a what-if scenario where Celes remains a General with the Empire (for whatever reason), and she and Terra eventually forge a friendship or romance (in spite of, because of, or apart from use of the slave crown). I'm a huge fan of all things and all characters Empire, so including others like Leo or Kefka or Gestahl would definitely be neat to read, as would encounters with the 'good guys' with Celes and Terra still resolutely on the side of the Empire! Exploring the concept of magicite and Espers and how the two relate to these two women specifically would be awesome. I am fine with anything from fluff to straight up porn. I love enthusiastic consent and am generally up for all kinks if they're presented as a something positive. Please write whatever you are most comfortable with! |
|
| EK (ilyat) | Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - Seth Grahame-Smith | Henry Sturges | I would love to see anything that picks up from where the story leaves off, either as implied in the final scene in a modern era, or in an entirely different era and setting. Who is Henry's next student? What sort of personal crisis spurns him on - and how does Henry train him to overcome it? Does Henry simply train a new protege to stand on his own (or replace him if need be), or does he try something different this time? How does he, and his new pupil, react when things go horribly wrong? While I'd love for this to focus more on plot, I am fine with anything from fluff to straight up porn. I love enthusiastic consent and am generally up for all kinks if they're presented as a something positive. Please write whatever you are most comfortable with! |

| EK (ilyat) | Glitch (Video Game) | Oh gosh, I miss this game so much. Honestly, I'd just love to see anything that involves exploring or of a general slice-of-life style for the setting - a new glitch starting out on their first adventures, or maybe one who is taking a trip down memory lane to experience this feeling of wonder anew. I would really prefer for this to stay on the fluff end of the spectrum and away from porn if at all possible. (Though, of course, lewd conversations by trees and butterflies are certainly fair game!) | ||
| EK (ilyat) | Bastion | The Kid (Bastion) | The world is destroyed. It's time to rebuild. For whatever reason, the kid chooses to keep moving forward instead of chancing that fate will be different by trying again. What does he do? Do any of the others remain with him - does he seek out other survivors? Does something better come out of it all, or is the future as doomed as the past? Does he regret choosing this path - or is this just the first time that he's decided it after multiple iterations? One of my favorite parts about the game is the overall mood of barely-constrained lawlessness, much like the way the wild west was. I'd love for this to come out in bits and pieces. Though I seriously doubt this prompt would incite anything on the porn end of the spectrum, I am okay with that. As mentioned in other prompts, I love enthusiastic consent and am generally up for all kinks if they're presented as a something positive. Please write whatever you are most comfortable with! |

Let's explore that too. And just the entire Rodrigo/Philip ship: it's so tragic. Let's feel sad about it. So much gay, so much opportunity, don't hold back! | letter |
| ElDiablito_SF | La Forza del Destino - Verdi/Piave | Don Alvaro (La Forza del Destino), Don Carlo di Vargas | Verdi is excellent at creating these fascinating m/m dynamics (and making us cry). Look at these two idiots: they're so in love with each other, yet they're driven by "fate" to be enemies. These frenemies need to just fuck it out. How about an AU where Carlo gets over himself and just happily goes to bed with Alvaro, and everyone forgets Leonora at the hermitage? Or if you prefer to stick to canon, at least give me some hot Alvaro/Carlo brothers in arms action (I mean sex by that, by the way). | letter |

Athos/Porthos = BrOTP. Athos/Porthos/Aramis = Shenanigans. Pretty much go at it and do whatever you like, so long as no one dies (of these three people). It's Yuletide and I am in the mood for something happy. If there happens to be my OTP sex in it, well that would be a bonus. | letter |
| EleanorJane | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary) | I love Joan Watson a lot. Like, a /lot/. So I would really, really love a Joan-centric Yuletide fic. Joan's relationship with Sherlock? Joan's relationship with Gregson and Bell? Joan's relationship with Alfredo or Miss Watson? All gravy. I'd love anything about any of these relationships, or plotty casefic if the mood strikes you. My preferred pairing is Joan/Sherlock, but to be honest I prefer friendship and genfic in this fandom. | letter |
| EleanorJane | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May | I don't love Melinda May as well as I should, yet, and I want to. Make me love her! Help crack that inscrutable facade and show me the person as well as the badass. Tell me stories about her past, her future, her self or her relationships. As far as relationships with other characters go: I'm happy to see more about the ancillary characters of SHIELD, and I'd like to see more of May's relationship with Coulson, Hill or Fury. I like most of the rest of the show's team, although I'm not hugely interested in Skye and I'm actively disinterested in Ward. Instead, I'd love to know more about May and her inner life and how she fits into SHIELD as a whole. (I do love Jemma Simmons, though - I'd love it if May took Simmons under her wing the way Ward has done for Skye!) |
letter |
| EleanorJane | Hackers (1995) | I didn't specify any characters for this, because what I'd really love here is future-fic: where do our heroes go from here? I'd love a look at any or all of them - Dade and Kate, together or apart; Joey; Phreak; Nikon; Cereal Killer - in a year's time, or five, or ten, or twenty. Whether it's plotty or a character study, I'm really interested to see their journeys. They'll be young adults (well, except Nikon) in the dot-com era, and I am so curious about how it might have played out for them. | letter | |
| EleanorJane | Human Target (TV 2010) | Guerrero (Human Target) | I'm fascinated by Guerrero; his past, his loyalty to Chance, his (deeply-buried) humanity and empathy, his family ties, his reputation... I'd love to know more about his history and how he became the man he is, how he inspired such terror in everyone who knows his name, or his future beyond the end of the series. In terms of relationships, I really like his grudging mentor relationship with Ames, and his relationships to the rest of the team. I'd prefer to avoid slashing him with Chance or Winston - what I'd really like is Guerrero/Ames, or some awesome tasty gen fic. :) |

| lectrumqueen | The Outs | Jack Widows, Mitchell (The Outs), Paul | Scruffy (The Outs), Oona (The Outs) | jack is my forever love, so literally anything about jack. how he met mitchell, more about how their relationship was dissolving before they broke up - i looove breakups? like don't be afraid to tell me a sad story, i'll be into it. i do also, though, love hunter canning's face when he's happy, so tell me about grad school! how do scruffy and jack make it work? do they not make it work? alternatively, that scene in the hanukkah special where mitchell and scruffy talk about jack in bed made me kind of want ot3, so if you're down for that i'd be about it. BASICALLY I LOVE EVERYONE. | letter |
| lectrumqueen | Breakfast with Scot (2007) | Eric McNally, Sam Miller, Scot Latour, Ryan Burlington | i'd really love some futurefic around ryan maintaining his friendship with scot while being in the nhl, but i'd also be interested in something around eric during his nhl days/how he met sam? something with the nhl in it would be awesome, futurefic is great, but really anything because i loved those characters SO MUCH. | letter |
| lectrumqueen | Bartimaeus - Jonathan Stroud | if you're research/world-building-minded, i'd looove bartimaeus and china - bartimaeus and the khans, bartimaeus and lin zexu - anything about demons in the chinese sphere. alternatively, an exploration of stroud's setting as pertains to america would be rad, also, or bartimaeus and king arthur. if you're more into the canon characters (who i love forever, give me everything), something where nathaniel makes it past the end and he, kitty and bartimaeus set up shop would be excellent. or something where ptolemy hangs out with kitty and nathaniel. basically, whatever you give me in this universe will sweep me off my feet. |

| lectrumqueen | The L.A. Complex | basically i love all the characters (with the exception of nick, who i enjoy watching crash and burn) so you're good no matter what you write. i love found family anything. i'd die for sabrina in texas, or what happens to connor after the show ends, or kal dealing with life after coming out. |

| lectrumqueen | The Fosters (TV 2013) | Callie Jacob | i really love callie jacob, particularly her relationship with jude and with stef and lena. i'm not super into her romantic relationships, though i'm not averse to them - i'm just not a big shipper? background stuff is fine, i'd just prefer that the focus be not on the get-together, unless it's really about callie. crossovers would be aces! my kingdom for callie in the supernatural universe. basically: callie jacob is a superhero and i love her. |
letter |
| lectrumqueen | Spartacus Series (TV) | i basically am in this for aus - i'd love the one where spartacus won and the roman empire changed forever, or resurrection aus would make my life (my kingdom for spartacus as the ever recurring revolutionary, trying to get back to sura but unable to until he finally succeeds). if that's not really your thing, i'd love some spartacus backstory (spartacus/sura, be still my beating heart - i love the way the show is really just the epilogue, to him, of his great love story) or gannicus: the wandering years. i love nasir/agron as much as the next girl (virgin!agron would be amaaaazing) but i'm also interested in other pairings (spartacus/agron before nasir comes along would ruin meeee). | letter | |
| ElegantPi | Photographs - Brooke Shaden | Any story written about any of the listed photographs would be wonderful, or if you want to weave the various characters and/or settings into one story, that too would be amazing! One of the things I love about Brooke's work is the otherwordly quality of her people and places and the surreal situations in which the characters find themselves. I crave a story which reflects that dreamy otherness. However, I'm also interested in what story YOU see in the images and how their stories speak to you and how that translates into the fiction you write for them... Here are direct links to the nominated images: the world above: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brookeshaden/5958136018/ never play with fire: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brookeshaden/8231720161/ a room for dreams: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brookeshaden/8741762628/ the swift travels of wind-blown sails: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brookeshaden/8535912051/ |

| ElegantPi | Rubicon | Tanya MacGaffin, Miles Fiedler, Grant Test | One of the biggest regrets I have about this show being cancelled is that I never got to see more of Grant, Miles, and Tanya as a team. Grant and Miles both had serious stress in their family lives due to their work, and Tanya just had STRESS in general because of the work and possibly due to problems before even coming to work at API. We barely got to see them start to gel as a team, and them WHAM. Cancelled. :( Never saw them open up to each other very much or start to lean on each other when they had no one else. They're all brilliant, all troubled in different ways, and all alone in their own way. So what I'd love love love love is team fic with these three. And if you want to throw Julia Harwell into the mix, that would be happiness for me. I didn't choose her in my request because I don't know if someone writing the other three would feel like writing her, and she's "optional" to me - but a great bonus. Will Travers and any of the other characters would also be welcome. Some possible prompts: -- plotty fic about a pile of intel that they have to piece together and maybe work together to prod the other agencies to give up the information they need to finish their project -- scenes from a mutual support group that they form without ever talking about it - they just... start hanging out one or two nights a week, and suddenly it's a thing. Maybe they play games or just talk or read books or whatever. -- I am not against shippy things >.>, although I prefer it not to be the sole focus of the fic. "Grant/Tanya" was always a favorite "off the beaten path" ship of mine. I liked the idea of "Julia/Miles". I'm not so fond of the idea of "Grant/Miles" or "Tanya/Miles" - these two pairings never really seemed like they'd ever be a thing. But I'll believe just about anything if it's well-sold. ;) |

| ElegantPi | Star Trek: Fortunes of War - Diane Carey | Sarda (Fortunes of War), Piper (Fortunes of War) | Oh, my childhood. I absolutely idolized Piper when I was a kid! Now, I only picked Piper and Sarda for characters, but I am totally, totally happy with fic about Piper, Merete, Scanner, and Sarda as a team, so if you want to do that, go for it! Weave in the main Star Trek characters, too, if you like. I'm especially partial to Vulcans - Spock, Sarek, etc. I just recently finished reading the books over again for the first time in about 20 years, and I still love them. (Although, seriously... the politics Carey wrote into those books do not sound like the Federation we knew in TNG or DS9... I loved picking up on political stuff that I totally missed as a kid.) Some possible prompts: -- The team, or just Sarda and Piper, finding a way to subvert Starfleet's/The Federation's tendency to co-opt Sarda's research and turn it into a weapon -- exploring Sarda and Piper's relationship post-Battlestations, as Sarda caught up on his training and Piper settled into the next phase of her career - if you want to get romantic with it, there will be no objections from me! ;) -- an adventure on Piper's next command - something a little bit snazzier than the Banana Republic. -- adventures in shore leave... team (or just Sarda and Piper) gets in trouble... team needs to get out of trouble before they have to be back on duty... team goes out for a drink and finds themselves embroiled in an interplanetary incident that now requires them to save the day... anything can happen on shore leave! -- little slices of life from this storyworld. Piper and Sarda doing nice things for each other for reasons: they've pissed each other off, they're having a bad day, whatever. Team moments with Merete and Scanner. Philosophical discussions. Sarda teaching Piper about being Vulcan. |

| ElegantPi | Midnight in Paris (2011) | Gil Pender, Gabrielle (Midnight in Paris) | I love this beautiful, whimsical little movie. The casual, inexplicable time traveling, seeing our literary and artistic icons come alive, everything. What I'd love the most in terms of story is: Gil and Gabrielle and Paris. Either in our time, or in Gil's "golden age" or in Gabrielle's "golden age" (what is her golden age? I'd love a fic that explores that!) or a mix of both. Gabrielle showing Gil the Paris that he couldn't see with Inez; Gil showing Gabrielle this amazing time travel thing - or maybe she already knew about it and is like, "well, of course, duh!" when he tells her about it. Twisty time travel, getting lost in Paris, writing novels, learning more about Gabrielle as a person - all of this I would love. I feel like this whole paragraph has been a glut of prompts, so I won't make a specific prompt section. Just... any story that you have fun writing and exploring this movie's world would be wonderful. Any of the other characters that show up would be great, too. Zelda Fitzgerald was a favorite of mine, as were Hemingway and Gertrude Stein. And DaLI! And here's a question or two... were there people from the future who came from their time to Paris 2011 as their ideal past? And could someone come forward from the past into the future? Oh, the games this movie could play with time... |

| levenoclock | The Almighty Johnsons | Anders Johnson, Ty Johnson (The Almighty Johnsons), Dawn (The Almighty Johnsons), Michele (Almighty Johnsons) | I really just want fic about Anders. Anders being awesome, and cocky, and maybe a little messed up, but coming out on top. He gets treated like a joke on the show, so I want him proving himself as a god (or, post-season three finale, a mortal who was once a god). I'm more than happy with gen, het, or slash. My pairings of choice would be Anders/Ty, Anders/Michele, and/or Ty/Dawn (because Dawn is the most awesome). Maybe even just some Anders/Dawn friendship. | letter |
| levenoclock | The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern | Tsukiko (The Night Circus), Bailey Alden, Clarke Celia Bowen | I would love to see your take on Tsukiko... either before the "Night Circus" canon (her being selected as Alexander's student, her relationship with Hinata, etc), or her life as she decides to join the Cirque. Anything goes, from Tsukiko/Hinata to Tsukiko/Celia or gen or whatever you want, as long as it's about Tsukiko! | letter |
| levenoclock | The Magicians - Lev Grossman | Quentin Coldwater, Julia (The Magicians) | I'd like to see an AU where neither Quentin nor Julia get accepted to Brakebills and both become self-taught magicians, growing closer and darker together. If that's not your cup of tea, though, anything with Quentin and Julia-- pre-Brakebills exam, or in Fillory, or whatever. They can fight or be in a relationship or just talk or all of the above. | letter |
| levenoclock | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Katrina Crane Jennifer Mills | After the most recent episode (104), I really want to see Ichabod/Jenny. I know the big pairing on the show is Ichabod/Abby, but I really want them to just be friends-- they have to save the world together, nothing more. But Ichabod/Jenny would be awesome, either as a relationship or just a friendship. I'd also love some Ichabod/Katrina!! | letter |
| Elf (Elfwreck) | Little Mosque on the Prairie | This fandom is new to me, and I've only seen a handful of episodes. I fell in love with it. I would love anything from an episode-like story (a stray puppy is hanging around the cafe, obviously someone's feeding it, but nobody wants to admit supporting an unclean animal), to shippy fic--either canon relationships (Aamar/Rayyan ) or slash (Aamar/Yasir) or hard crack (Baber/Fatima). I'd love to see an interaction between religions that doesn't involve Christianity: maybe a Buddhist family moves to Mercy, or a Wiccan teen group gets active at the high school, or someone's Jewish relative comes to visit for the summer. | letter | |
| Elf (Elfwreck) | Glitch (Video Game) | Glitch (2009-2012) is the fandom of my heart. My feelings about its closing are at http://bit.ly/18UZ30N; I will be happy with anything in this fandom. If you have a Glitchy Story Of Your (Shadowed) Heart, please write that; feel free to ignore the character list entirely. Story prompts, in case you don't (or don't want to write it under Yuletide pressure): * Who were the 7 ghost/phantom glitchen? Why do they appear in *those* places and nowhere else in Ur? * What are the de-imaginators trying to prevent when they go after smugglers? * How did Juju Grandma wind up with such a large clan of bandits? Does she have friends? Lovers? (Femslash w/Esquibeth of Inari?) * Where's Ilmenskie Jones now? Or what grand adventures did he have? OC fic is also fine--the Occupy Umbra movement, the suicide club of Cebarkul, a Potian "Iron Chef" contest, a wandering butler post-Awakening. |

| Elf (Elfwreck) | Bloom County | For years, I've been obsessed with the idea of Oliver Wendell Jones in modern hacker culture. Was he involved in the AT&T crackdowns in the 90's? Did he get busted by the feds in the early internet sweeps and forced to work for The Man or go to prison for decades? Is he a big-name geek, active in the EFF and the target of a dozen international lawsuits, or is he just another quiet hacker running a private torrent site and getting into flamewars at slashdot? Is he tired of being the token Black hacker/geek in most groups he hangs out with? As interested as I am in Oliver's future, I picked "any" characters because I love all of them; I'd especially love futurefic showing where they are now and what kind of shenanigans they get up to in today's society. Milo'd have a blast reporting on the Tea Party; Opus could sign up for medical testing and try out designer glow-in-the-dark genes; Steve might write a book on How To Scam Your Clients and get invited to the Colbert Report. |
letter | |
| Elf (Elfwreck) | Elfquest | Elfquest was my first fandom, more than thirty years ago. I love these characters down to my bones, and would be happy with any story about them, or any story set in the World of Two Moons. I love that they're polyamorous; love the magic; love that the span of stories stretches out over millenia. Since that's not much for a writer to work with, I also have prompts: * Ekuar and Savah meet and swap stories about the old days. Or find they have a story in common, from different sides. * Ekuar/Rayek adventures, maybe slash. (If that warps into Ekuar/Rayek/Winnowill, I'm not going to complain. No matter how twisted that gets.) * Strongbow (my favorite, until Dart grew up and got xenophilic) teaching Nightfall how to use a bow. * Kahvi discovering that motherhood isn't as simple as she thought it would be. * Cutter/Leetah/Skywise after Leetah changes Skywise. * Skywise, roaming the world with Timmain, discovers another lost tribe. * Leetah/Savah, post-Hidden Years, showing how much her powers have grown and changed. Don't feel constrained by those; they aren't "the stories I want most" but "the stories I'm thinking about right now." Feel free to swap things around if you like part of a prompt but with different characters. Or write an entirely different story; just because I didn't mention a character doesn't mean I don't like them, just that I don't think it's reasonable to list three dozen prompts. |
letter | |
| Elf (Elfwreck) | The Lone Gunmen (TV) | Richard "Ringo" Langly | This show ended too soon, and with too much finality. It's hard to come up with fix-its (but not impossible; maybe the guys were whisked away to a top-secret medical laboratory at the last minute? ... Except you know Mulder would demand to see the bodies.) I don't need a story that changes the ending of the series, but I'd certainly be happy with one. Barring that, anything that shows Langly being his geeky, gamer, super-hacker self would be awesome. I don't even need him to be the showcase or POV character; an adventure involving the three of them would be great. (An adventure that winds up as a threesome: even better.) Slice-of-life fic is also great: "Langly drags the other two to a Ramones concert" would be an awesome fic. | letter |
| Elf (Elfwreck) | Ghost Soup Infidel Blue | Captain Allonius (Ghost Soup) | One of my favorite parts of the show was the "Captain's Shore Leave" mini-cartoons they added late in the series. Captain Allonius would visit a spaceport or planetside bar, pick up some "sweet young thaaaang" (although, given his tastes, I've come think that "Allonius" is really Latin for "Harkness"), get into trouble, or almost-trouble, and Bipi would rescue him just before [the building exploded/ the fire reached him/ he caught Teloxian Plague/ etc.] I would love a story detailing one or more of Allonious' wacky adventures, either a canonical one from the alien's PoV, or an original one involving one of the canonical races. (Or something else. It's YT; don't feel limited. Avengers crossovers totally welcome; "Allonius picks up a Chitauri girlfriend" would be a blast to read.) If you felt inspired to write a series of shorts instead of a single story, that'd be okay too. I especially love the Allonious/Bipi UST--damn, that robot could glare, especially at anyone Allonious seemed to actually *like*. | letter |

| li | The Unusuals | Jason Walsh, Casey Shraeger | I honestly just want more fic in this fandom. Especially about these two, and would definitely prefer that you focus on them, but don't be afraid to toss the whole 2nd in, because it's all of them together that make the fandom. I'd be good with het (with each other) out in the future, or gen (with each of them with their respective canon partners) during the series. And since I know there's a lot of these out there and the temptation might be there, I really do not want a crossover, please. | letter |
| li | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | First off, I am BEGGING that this NOT be incest. Throw in Hansel or Gretel being with other people if you like (Mina, Ben, OC, het, slash, whatever), but please please please do not put these two together in a sexual relationship. Because really I'm asking for this because I want a story exploring them as brother and sister witch hunters. Before the movie, after the movie, serious hunt, hunts gone awry, poking at each other and helping each other like we saw. | letter |
| li | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV), John Diggle (Arrow TV) | It didn't take me long to want some combination of these three. Ollie/Digs (maybe with Felicity on helpful/unhelpful commentary), Ollie/Felicity (maybe with Digs thinking 'about time' and rolling with the punches), Felicity/Digs (maybe for solidarity, without Ollie knowing), Ollie/Digs/Felicity (because why not), I don't care. Toss 'em together in whatever way you like. Sex more than welcome. But if you go gen and, I don't know, they learn together how to make the best burgers ever in the warehouse because it's beginning to look weird that they keep going to the diner to celebrate still being not dead after the green hood has done something, I'd be just as happy. These three who are the only ones who see (as much as is possible) all of each other, I want more of them. Silliness, feelings, run with it, but know that I'm not a fan of crushing angst or fluffy bunnies. Whether this is before or after Merlyn screws over half of Starling City, up to you. | letter |
| li | Much Ado About Nothing (2012) | Don Pedro (Much Ado About Nothing 2012), Benedick (Much Ado About Nothing 2012), Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing 2012) | hortly after seeing the movie, a friend brought up the idea of "a Beatrice/Benedick/Don Pedro edgy little threesome after the first two have been married for a few years. Not a longterm thing, just an occasional thing; he's not for everyday." And I haven't been able to get that out of my head. Her post is locked, or I'd just point you there, but I fully agree with her vision of Beatrice and Benedick -- both who like Pedro, but both who don't entirely forgive him for what he helped do to Hero -- welcoming Pedro into their home whenever he returns, the sparks particularly between him and Beatrice never really going away, and then something happens. Maybe Don John finally coming to a bad end, maybe a painful defeat. But when Pedro returns that time, there is comfort along with welcome. | letter |
| liotss (ZNZ) | Tam Lin (Traditional Ballad) | Janet (Tam Lin Traditional Ballad), Tam Lin (Tam Lin Traditional Ballad) | I'd love anything about these two, but most of all I'd adore some kind of modern AU; a coffeeshop AU specifically would be amazing. | letter |
| liotss (ZNZ) | The City of Dreaming Books - Walter Moers | No character tags here; what I'm really interested in is worldbuilding/exploration of Bookholm, and anything about the ordinary inhabitants of the city. | letter | |
| liotss (ZNZ) | Tam Lin - Pamela Dean | Thomas Lane, Janet Carter | Prompt: Thomas/Janet domesticity, set after the events of the book; I'd adore some of the incessant literary quoting that is to be found in the book itself. | letter |
| liotss (ZNZ) | Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis | I'd love something Verity Kindle/Ned Henry, or a story about Bartholemew's eventual travels with St. Paul. No Kivrin, please; I don't dislike her, but I haven't read her book yet. | letter | |
| lithewho | Beast - Donna Jo Napoli | Orasmyn (Beast - Donna Jo Napoli), Belle (Beast - Donna Jo Napoli) | I love this book and although it ended at the right time for the story and how it was written, I actually really want there to be more. What happens to Belle and Orasmyn after the book ends, now that he is human and the curse is broken? It's been done a million times with other Beauty & the Beast adaptations but Napoli's story is wholly unique and I want to see more of Orasmyn and Belle. It doesn't have to be happily-ever-after. I would love to see some of the book from Belle's perspective too. | letter |
| lithewho | Dear America: Standing in the Light - Mary Pope Osborne | Catharine Carey, Logan Wine-lo-wich | Snow Hunter, Wapa-go-kos | White Owl, Thomas Logan | How much did I love this book as a preteen? Very, very much. I was devastated when Catharine and Thomas were recaptured and whole tribe were probably murdered. I mean, it was good they got back to their family, but I was shipping Catharine/Snow Hunter too hard. Fulfill a preteen dream of mine and write an alternate timeline where Catharine and Thomas stay with the tribe. You could go any direction, like just a continuation from the book or many years down the line. It would be interesting to me to see how Catharine reconciles her Quaker faith with the Natives' religion and her attraction to Snow Hunter. | letter |
| lithewho | 6th Century CE RPF | St. Augustine of Canterbury (6th Century CE RPF), Æthelberht of Kent (6th Century CE RPF), Bertha of Kent (6th Century CE RPF) | When Saint Augustine went to Kent to convert the "godless pagans" he wasn't really going up against much resistance. The Saxons had known of Christianity since the Roman Occupation and the king of Kent's wife was Christian. But I'm still interested in that transition between Anglo-Saxon paganism and/or Celtic Christianity and the Roman Christianity Augustine was preaching. I want a world where the "old ways" and paganism was still in living memory. Also, how scary and strange it must have been for Bertha to marry a pagan man who spoke a weird language and be thrust into this totally different world. | letter |
| lithewho | Sweep - Cate Tiernan | Hunter Niall, Cal Blaire, Morgan Rowlands | OK, I request this every time and I'm always denied ;_; which is fine because I've always gotten an awesome fic each year, but I'd like to see some fucked up dynamic/jealously/obsession with Hunter/Morgan/Cal. Go wild, go dark, go creepy and magical. | letter |
| Elizabeth Culmer (edenfalling) | Hainish Cycle - Ursula K. Le Guin | Shevek (Hainish Cycle) | I love the entire Ekumen, but I want fic specifically and only for "The Dispossessed." I picked Shevek to identify which book I'm interested in, not to force you to write about him in particular. I am not at all fussy about what you write! I like the characters, the utopianism and related politics and philosophy, the crazy alien physics, the world-building for both Urras and Anarres, etc. I am also totally up for fic about "The Day Before the Revolution" and the rest of Laia Odo's life. If you want plot hooks, I am fascinated by the way marriage (or the lack thereof) plays out in Anarresti society, and what that means for Shevek and Takver. I am also intrigued by the hints of Odo's own relationship with Taviri; I enjoy the throwaway mentions of Urrasti legends and would love to see them turned into proper mythology; I am curious about the chaos in Benbili that was going on while Shevek was on Urras; etc., etc. There are infinite options! I like all pairing types, but I would prefer a focus on plot, character development, and world-building instead of a focus on sex and/or romance. |

| Elizabeth Culmer (edenfalling) | Macbeth - Shakespeare | Lady Macbeth, Macbeth | I want backstory on their courtship and early marriage, before it all went wrong. They strike me as genuine partners despite the power imbalance forced upon them by society's restrictive definition of appropriate female roles (which they both seem to have internalized to a greater or lesser degree), and even as they fall into depression and madness, they are still TOGETHER. I would like to see how they built that foundation. Sex is great if it serves to illustrate the characters and their relationship outside the bedroom, but please do not write PWP; character study is the important thing here. | letter |
| Elizabeth Culmer (edenfalling) | Villains by Necessity - Eve Forward | I would like world-building, please! Specifically, I'd like a story about rediscovering and/or reestablishing worship of the dark/evil gods, or the power reshuffle in heaven, or why the good gods thought destroying the world was a great idea and/or didn't realize that was the result of their victory, or anything else to do with religious questions and issues. Religion in the novel is a weird mix of extremely superficial D&D gloss and actual deep lived beliefs, and I'd love to see the gimmicky stuff treated with the same seriousness that Kaylana's faith gets. I like all pairing types, but I would prefer them to remain in the background. | letter | |
| Elizabeth Culmer (edenfalling) | Lucifer (Comic) | Lucifer is my favorite, but I love pretty much all the characters. What I am especially interested in reading is a story about families -- Lucifer and his brothers; Lucifer, Michael, and Elaine; Elaine's human family, or how Cestis copes with 'her' new wife and son after the series end; Rachel and her resurrected brother (is he healed? how does she cope if he is or isn't?); Gaudium, Spera, and Lumen; Mazikeen and Lilith; Jill and Noema; Izanami and her sons; or any of the other family units in the series. Failing that, why not tell me what Gabriel was up to during the series? He seems to have vanished off the face of the universe after the incident with Lilith, and I would love an explanation of what happened to him. I like all pairing types, but I would prefer them to remain in the background. | letter | |
| Elizabeth Culmer (edenfalling) | Black Jewels - Anne Bishop | Karla (Black Jewels) | I want to see Karla having an actual sexual/romantic relationship with another woman. Or several relationships. Or one relationship with several women. Whatever! Her partner(s) can be canon or original, whichever is easiest for you. I don't care if you focus on the feelings or the sex, so long as you don't get outright drippy. Everyone in this world seems prickly to some degree and Karla is doubly so, so I would like her to retain her edges even while in love and/or lust. If you show how she balances her sex life with the pseudo-family she canonically formed with her Captain of the Guard and Della, that would be extra awesome -- I am all in favor of found families, the larger the better -- but if you want to write something set during her teen years or to gloss over that potential area of conflict, that is also fine by me. I just want Karla to act on her sexuality and be HAPPY, dammit. It is not so very much to ask! (P.S. I have a huge soft spot for Karla/Wilhelmina, if you can think of a way to make that work, but that is totally not required.) |

| llabell | Defiance (TV) | Stahma Tarr, Kenya Rosewater | I think there there is so much more to Stahma than what she shows to everyone else, and I'd love to see more of what happens when she just allows herself to want (Like, when she says to Kenya that "I want things too."). I also love the Kenya and Amanda sister relationship, and even though they don't always agree with each other, that Amanda will ALWAYS have Kenya's back is a very important and strong relationship that I love. (more info on my LJ) | letter |
| llabell | Gallagher Girls Series - Ally Carter | Rebecca Baxter | I'd love to see some sort of future fic, something from after high school graduation and after the Circle has been brought down. Currently, I'm really curious about Bex. Just as with Cammie, Bex's life is all planned out for her, but she doesn't have the same support group when she goes back to Britain as the Gallagher Girls do in the US. So, what happens when she goes back and works for SIS? I think that without an equivalent Gallagher Academy in the UK, the spy game is a much bigger old boys club than what she was anticipating. I'd love to see how Bex deals with the expectations thrust upon her from her parents / her superiors that just expect the family name, and what life is like without the rest of the Gallagher Girls. I also think that Abby's relationship with the girls is one of the most important and also one of the underdeveloped, so I'd love to see Abby mentoring Bex whenever she has a chance. (more info on my LJ) |
letter |
| llabell | Orphan Black (TV) | Alison Hendrix, Felix Dawkins | Alison is my favourite clone, though really, it could be any of them. But, currently, I'm the most interested in her friendship with Felix. Why do they get along so well? Why does Felix do so much for her? What does Felix see in her that makes him accept her as just as much as a sister as Sarah, when he hasn't really done the same for Cosima? I'm also interested in Alison's version of friendship. Aynsley was her best friend before Alison got paranoid, so what did that look like? What did her friendship (relationship?) with Beth look like? How did each these three friendships that we've seen Alison have differ in her approach? (more info at my LJ) |
letter |
| llabell | Hustle | Stacie Monroe | Basically, I'm just in love with Jaime Murray and would love to see more Stacie back-story. A fun little gif on tumblr made its rounds a little while ago where Stacie smirks at DS Hodges, and a good friend commented that maybe they had a "previous... acquaintance?" (link on my LJ) Or, Stacie is clearly just as brilliant as Mickey (maybe even more so?) and she has no desire to lead. Why? Where did that come from? And how did she make the jump from being a small time short con player to playing in the big leagues with Mickey? |

| llen_fremedon | Glitch (Video Game) | There is a very long list of things I loved about Glitch in my letter, but in sum: I loved the world of Ur. I want to go back. Since I can't, let me reminisce, in as much detail as you feel like going into. (And for help with details, the Glitch strategy wiki seems to be down, but most of it appears to be archived at the Wayback Machine. ) | letter | |
| llen_fremedon | Bletchley Circle | Career-focused future fic for any (or all) of the four main characters, for any time after the credits roll. What do they do, now that they know their brilliance at Bletchley Park wasn't just a fluke? Lucy and Millie both need jobs, and Susan clearly needs an outlet even if she doesn't need the money-- I'd love to see what they turn their talents to. I would not object in the least to femslash-- I ship Millie/Lucy pretty hard, and I am half convinced Jean has a terrifyingly competent, very discreet longtime girlfriend somewhere offstage-- but I'd like a story focused at least as much on work as on relationships. Give me ladies using their brains for great justice! Or just for a paycheck. Or for the fun of it. I would prefer no crossovers with other fictional sources, but historical figures are fine. |
letter | |
| llen_fremedon | The Instrumentality of Mankind - Cordwainer Smith | I saw this listed in the tag set and went immediately from never having even considered fanfic for this source to desperately wanting it. My favorite Smith is "Alpha Ralpha Boulevard," but I also love "Scanners Live in Vain" and "The Ballad of Lost C'Mell" and "The Lady Who Sailed the Soul" and really all of the collected short stories. I am less fond of the Rod McBan stories collected as Norstrilia. I love the sense of deep time and of the immensity of human history, I love the underpeople, I love the names and mythic resonances. So, basically, write me a new Cordwainer Smith story. That seems like a lot to ask, but since you are the sort of (wonderful, clever, imaginative) person who signs up to offer Cordwainer Smith worldbuilding fic, you seem to feel you're up to it. |
letter | |
| llen_fremedon | The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin | Sorve Harth rem ir Estraven (Left Hand of Darkness) | I would like the story where Sorve becomes a Mobile of the Ekumen. Or has become one. Or has been one and is retiring. Or is studying to be one. Or considers becoming one and doesn't. But I want a story where Sorve encounters the other worlds, the other kinds of people. I want a story where Gethenian culture (which includes, but is so much more than, Gethenian biology) is centered, and it is the other sorts of humanity that are perverse and frightening, or perverse and exciting, or simply new and delightful. Show me any world-- one of Le Guin's, or one of your own-- and any time period from the end of LHoD on, but show me what it looks like to a Gethenian, and to a Karhider, and to the lord's scion of a remote domain, and to the child of Therem Harth rem ir Estraven. | letter |

| llia | The Fall (TV) | Stella Gibson | I can't stress how much I love Stella, when I watched the show I fell for the character instantly. I love her control and her strength, how she's completely comfortable with herself, and refuses to apologise for who she is or the way she chooses to live. I'd be happy to see any gen featuring Stella, backstory about her career, or how she met and worked with Jim. Something set during season one, maybe how she feels about the muders or her thoughts on the people she's working with. Or how she deals with journalist Ned Callan's interference or what happened to James Olson. Or if you want to speculate about what happens next, how she'll deal with the murders stopping, or her continued investigation. Alternatively anything at all about her relationships with Reed Smith (I know different sites give her name as Paula or Tanya) or Danielle Ferrington. I really liked the almost mentoring relationship she had with Danielle and the quiet friendship she was building with Reed Smith. Femslash or gen would be equally welcome for these characters. |
letter |
| llia | Scott & Bailey | Gill Murray, Julie Dodson, Janet Scott, Rachel Bailey | I love all the characters I requested, but if you have a particular idea that focuses on just some of them, then feel free to leave one or more of the characters out. I really enjoyed this show, especially the portrayal of the three main characters. They were all strong in different ways, and were all very compelling to watch. The pace of the show really worked for me, the emphasis on character rather than action, and the way it showcased their individual talents. I'd be thrilled to receive any story in this fandom. Femslash featuring any of them, casefic, or a piece about their friendships. They're all strong women, and I love the way they interact, balancing their professional relationship with the close personal bonds they've formed. Gill especially fascinates me, the way she talks and how she gets the best out of her team. I love her history with Julie, and their friendship through the years fascinates me, so anything at all about that would be great. The way she stood up for Rachel at her hearing was wonderful, and shows how much she supoorts her team. If you want to do fallout from the last series that would be awesome, as would backstory on any of the characters and their relationships. Something about how they met, the first cases they worked together, or how their friendships developed. |
letter |
| llia | Silk (TV) | Martha Costello, Caroline Warwick | Martha and Caroline are like two sides of the same coin. They both have this passionate belief in the law, and see it almost as this living thing that should be defended. But their love of the law has taken them to opposite sides, with each believing they're best serving justice, Caroline as a prosecutor, and Martha as a defender. The way their beliefs are so similar in some ways, and have lead them down different paths makes it fascinating to watch them interact, and makes for great story telling. Caroline's much more cynical than Martha, and she's lost some of Martha's belief in righteousness of what they do. You've got two strong, dedicated women, and I'd love to read anything that tells me more about them. I'd be happy with gen or femslash, character studies or casefic. Really, it'd be almost impossible to disappoint me if I get a story about these wonderful characters. I'd love to see Martha and Caroline up against each other in court again, especially as they're sharing chambers now. Or something about Caroline settling into the Chambers, how they adjust to working in such close proximity all the time. |
letter |
| llia | Bletchley Circle | Susan Gray, Millie (Bletchley Circle), Lucy (Bletchley Circle), Jean (Bletchley Circle) | I fell in love with this show from the minute it started, and i love all four of the main characters. I'd be happy to see gen or femslash for this fandom. There's so many things I'd love to see about these characters, that i promise you can't disappoint me if we match on this fandom. I will love whatever you choose to write. If you're looking for ideas though, maybe something about how they first became friends back at Bletchley, what is was like for them suddenly having this new life, and the weight of the responsibility that came with the nature of the job. Or what it was like for them settling back into their old lives after the war was over. Not only did they have to give up their career but they couldn't talk about what they'd done, even with their closest friends and family. Re-adjusting to their lives must have been incredibly difficult. Another case for them to solve would be brilliant, if you get inspired, or something dealing with the fallout of the case they solved on the show. |

| EllieMurasaki | Poetry RPF | Femslash me, baby! Or gen me, as suits you. I just want to see how these ladies would interact. AU is excellent: coffee shop, college, library, faerie, etc. I note that Bradstreet is widely considered an early feminist, Barrett Browning wrote many poems with social justice themes, Dickinson has been a great inspiration to feminists, and Sappho of course has been a great inspiration to lesbian feminists (see also poetree's Sappho-themed week, especially the post by rainjoy). | letter | |
| EllieMurasaki | Chronicles of Glenscar - Anne B. Walsh | I will be happy with anything written in this universe. Things that particularly intrigue me about canon include the system of magic and the ethics of its use, the feminist bent of so many of the characters (often feminist for 2013 as well as for 1786, which says something horribly sad about 2013, really), and the theme of names and what they mean—and who they mean, in that several of the characters feel themselves to be different people when going by different names. I was a dipshit who did not nominate characters so I cannot prompt with characters, but I truly will be happy with anything about anybody here. | letter | |
| EllieMurasaki | Tales of Anosir - Anne B. Walsh | I will be happy with anything written in this universe. Things that particularly intrigue me about canon include the system of magic and the ethics of its use, the deities, and the echoes of fairy tales. I was a dipshit who did not nominate characters so I cannot prompt with characters, but I truly will be happy with anything about anybody here. | letter | |
| EllieMurasaki | Ember Days (2013) | I'd like to explore Hecate and Brand's relationship pre-movie, or Hecate post-movie, or the relationship between the Summer Lady and the Winter Queen at any point pre-, mid-, or post-movie. Or worldbuild! I will be absolutely delighted with worldbuilding that explains how angels and nephilim, Greek gods and Titans, and summer and winter fae all exist in the same world. And if you feel so inclined, worldbuilding that includes comparable stories from cultures of color would be awesome. | letter | |
| EllieMurasaki | Faerie Queen - Heather Alexander (song) | I will be happy with anything pertinent to the events of the song, whether before, during, or after. Feel free to play games with the gender of the fiddler and the spouse-to-be such that they end up gender/romantic/sexuality-diverse people. | letter | |
| EllieMurasaki | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | I'd like to explore any of the relationships between October, Amandine, the Luidaeg, May (and, of course, Jazz), Quentin, Raj, and Tybalt.

| lsandry | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | Pre-movie, post-movie, anything is good. I have this head-canon where Hansel and Gretel are in the habit of sharing lovers. (Not necessarily at the same time, unless you're into that.) Feel free to take that idea and run with it. Maybe an AU where Mina lived long enough for it to come up, and super awkward conversations ensued. | letter |
| lsandry | Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate | Jake Berenson, Tobias (Animorphs) | I really like that awkward friendship Jake and Tobias have in the first few books. It might be interesting to see how things would have developed, both with Jake and with the other characters, if Tobias hadn't gotten stuck in morph so early. Or I could go for an AU where Tobias and Jake are the ones with the epic doomed romance. | letter |
| lsandry | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Harry Blackstone, Copperfield Dresden | Almost anything. I'd prefer if Harry isn't romantically involved with Molly, Thomas, or Marcone. I love Harry's friendship with Murphy, so if you want to work that in, or romance with Murphy, that would be cool. OT3 with Charity and Micheal? Sure, why not. Casefic without romance? Awesome. I feel like I could really go for an AU, born-a-girl Harry, if you're into genderswap. | letter |
| lsandry | Dragaera - Steven Brust | Khaavren | Khaavren is my favorite. You really can't go wrong as long as he's the main character. I really like his friendship with Aerich, and yeah, I ship it pretty hard. Daro is pretty damn awesome, too. | letter |
| Elviella | The Dalemark Quartet - Diana Wynne Jones | I love the Dalemark Quartet a whole lot, and I am constantly craving for MORE FIC about it, especially because we get to see a very short period of the characters' lives, but also are given a lot of hints and information about them (and the country's history) through the glossaries. So, I would be absolutely delighted to read ANYTHING you'd choose to write. Singer sibs fic?? Pseudo-academia? Shippy fic? Character studies? Maybe even some AUing? GO FOR IT, DEAR WRITER. | letter | |
| Elviella | Magids Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Roddy Hyde | Finishing the Merlin Conspiracy, all I wanted to read was post-canon adventures for all of its characters, but especially Roddy. I love Roddy and I was thrilled by the premise of her future as given to us, so I would love to read anything about her post-canon adventures apprenticing under the most important witch in her country. | letter |
| Elviella | Majo no Takkyuubin | Kiki's Delivery Service | Kiki (Majo no Takkyuubin), Ursula (Majo no Takkyuubin) | I would really like to see some slice-of-life post-canon fic for this film?? I love how Kiki's Delivery Service is sort of a quiet, everyday film and I would like to see something about these characters and how they continue their lives after the film. In Ursula's case, I would also really enjoy to see something about her past! | letter |
| Elviella | Baccano! | Ennis (Baccano), Firo Prochainezo | I have a really soft spot for both Ennis and Firo/Ennis, and I would love to see something about the development of their relationship after the events of the anime and before their eventual marriage some decades later (or even post-marriage, I wouldn't say no to that). I'm especially interested in how Ennis would adjust to the new situations and how she developed as a person, so if you would rather write fic centered around her than shippy fic, I would be totally on board! | letter |
| lyssblair | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Leo Fitz, Grant Ward | At the time I'm writing this, only three episodes have aired, but what I like, so far, is the slow team-building phase and episodic strange-case-of-the-week. I requested Ward and Fitz because one of my favorite tropes is the stoic, bad-ass warrior type forced to work with the smart, awkward, slightly out-of their element scientist. Especially when they start out coming at a problem from different angles and end up appreciating each other's point of view. There was a glimpse of the sort of 'speaking a different language' at the beginning of 0-8-4 and I'd love to see it expanded on. | letter |
| lyssblair | Blood Ties | Coreen Fennel, Vicki Nelson (Blood Ties) | I loved this show and was so disappointed when it was cancelled. I requested Coreen and Vicki because, despite the triangle with Mike and Henry, I think that Coreen is the only one Vicki ever opens up to or lets her guard down with. I would love to see something set after the finale with the two of them dealing with the aftermath of Coreen's possession and everything that happened because of it. Alternatively, I would love to see something where Coreen and Vicki investigate and kick ass together without any help from Henry or Mike. | letter |
| lyssblair | The Librarian (Movies) | I love these movies! Flynn is an adorable mix of bumbling awkwardness yet surprisingly capable and competent when push comes to shove. Judson is so understated and dry yet totally BAMF. And Charlene keeps them both in line with well-placed snark or evil eye. I'd love to see another improbable, fantastic adventure, whether it's Flynn or something from Judson's history with the library or Charlene and Judson dealing with something that comes up while Flynn is on another mission. | letter | |
| lyssblair | Elenium/Tamuli Series - David & Leigh Eddings | Khalad (Elenium/Tamuli), Berit (Elenium/Tamuli) | These two are sort of the future of the Order. I love how they are both smart and kick-ass but in a sort of understated, practical way (as opposed to some the older knights.) I'd love to see some future fic, where they are running the Pandions, either officially or because everyone just kind of looks to them. Or maybe a snapshot of what it's like when Khalad is a novitiate and Berit is a new Knight. Or a missing scene from their adventure in the desert when Berit was impersonating Sparhawk. | letter |
| lyssblair | Hellboy (Movies) | Nuala (Hellboy), Abe Sapien | I requested Nuala and Abe. Not going to lie, I ship these two. They are adorable together and my heart breaks every time I watch the end of the movie. I would love for them to somehow get a second chance or an alternate ending where they get a happily ever after. Or some kind of missing scene between the two of them, where they share secrets or a quiet moment together. | letter |

Either as lovers, as sisterly best friends for ever, or something complicated in between. Any setting, any time period - maybe they're among the French resistance in WWII, or anarchists in the Spanish civil war, or in a fairytale forest, or in space... (Or, you know, Celia contemplating And wheresoe'er we went, like Juno's swans, Still we went coupled and inseparable in Shakespearean verse would also be great. But extremely optional.) |

I'd love to see Haley continue exploring teamwork and solidarity, messing up the system from the inside. Or gymnastics at college, or Haley having a fling/romance with any of the girls from the movie. |

Or having improbable adventures/connections with any woman writer you like - Edith Södergran, Selma Lagerlöf, Tove Jansson, Virgina Woolf... |

| mei | Sofies verden | Sophie's World - Jostein Gaarder | Sofie Amundsen | Sophie Amundsen, Hilde Møller Knag | The world is even bigger than she thought. Take Sophie beyond the scope of the white, western male canon of philosophy. I have a lot of love for feminist, queer and postcolonial thought in particular, but you could bring in anything from any other part of the world. Other potential ideas if you don't feel like delving into theory: Sophie/Hilde after the end of the novel, femslash or gen, or, what to do when you're a fictional girl on the loose in the wide, wide world. |

| mei | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman | Lyra Belacqua | Lyra (and Pan), growing up. Re-learning how to read the alethiometer, writing a dissertation on something important, finding friends and family in her Oxford... I'd love to see Lyra growing into an activist academic, busily engaged in changing the world for the better among and beyond the scholars of her childhood. | letter |
| Emeloh | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | Tanuma Kaname | I'd really like to see Tanuma being drawn more into the supernatural world — the use of glasses to achieve this would be a bonus. His relationship with Natsume is really touching, but I'd enjoy seeing him interact with others who are also partially in the supernatural world and partially in the mundane like Taki or Natori. | |
| Emeloh | Skip Beat! | Mogami Kyoko | I'm mostly interested in either: (a) Backstory on Kyoko's past; "a parent can hate their own child" (b) Fun with the way she takes on roles and absorbs them into herself. (c) Her strength of determination to become a splendid actress (d) Getting one over on Sho or (e) I just really love the relationship between her and Ren and the way they both fight their growing awareness of each other's feelings. Though you might have to dig deep enough to build a mine, in order for them to admit it to each other — even if it's through playing with the roles they take on constantly... |
|
| Emeloh | Magic Kaitou | Kuroba Kaito | Kaitou Kid | Kaitou is just fabulous, with his shenanigans and the constant showing off yet hiding. Having him be the hero, duking it out with his detectives (or perhaps something more?) I find identity play a really sexy concept. Having Kaitou the winner, or having the tables turned against him - it's all good. I also love mirror play, if you wanted to do something with that as well. |
|
| Emeloh | やはり俺の青春ラブコメはまちがっている。 | My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU (anime) | Hikigaya Hachiman Hayama Hayato | When I finished watching this series with my friend, we just went "oh god, why are we craving the slash when it's pretty much a harem series”. Unfortunately neither of has won with daring the other to write it, so I take it to you Yuletide with hopes that someone won't find it quite as teeth-pulling as we do. (If you do, no worries, hopefully something else wil work for you.) Something that focuses on the relationship between these two, or develops a relationship between the two with friendship or something more. They have such opposite views on life but I think Hayato is genuinely fascinated by Hachiman and really wishes that Hachiman wasn't so negative. It would pleasant to see Hachiman a little less broken, which is part of what it would take for him to be able to maintain a relationship with Hayato I think. One thing that would be good to cover: I think Hayato sometimes does see the world that negatively with the hints we've gotten over his awareness of female bullying and I think Hachiman wishes he could see the world that positively. I am not interested in het for this series, sorry. Gen is fine. |
|
| meraldcity | Psycho (1960) | Marion Crane, Norman Bates, Lila Crane | Anything would be great. If you're willing to write anything for a ship, I'd prefer it to be Marion/Norman, but at the same time, not ignoring the issues that would come along with it. Other things I'd like to see are: any sort of alternate universe where Marion survives but at some point meets Norman again, Marion/Lila interaction, Norman during the trial and hearing about Marion's life and circumstances for the first time, or just about anything Marion-centric. Like I said, anything you write I would be eternally grateful for. | |
| meraldcity | Mad Men | Joan Holloway, Lane Pryce, Stan Rizzo, Bob Benson | I'm not too keen on shipping anyone in particular, so preferably anything gen would be good. | |
| meraldcity | Persuasion - Jane Austen | Frederick Wentworth, Anne Elliot | ||
| meraldcity | Bates Motel (2013) | Norman Bates Sheriff Alex Romero Norma Bates | Anything character-centric would be great. Maybe your take on how the show might handle the Marion Crane situation? Anything referencing the Hitchcock film would be great. One thing I would NOT be interested in reading is incest. While I do believe the relationship between Norman and his mother is extremely abusive, there's a line I'd rather not cross. | |
| mid | Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | Kaname Madoka | I LOVE AUS and I think that this series lends itself well to them! I really like the idea of an AU in which Homura and Madoka switch places and Madoka is the one trying to save Homura over and over again in the timeloop maze, but seriously you can probably toss any wild crazy AU idea at me and i'd approve. mafia AU, hogwarts AU, slice-of-life subtext-riffic AU, IT'S ALL GOOD. pairings-wise anything with Madoka/Homura, Madoka/Sayaka, or Mami/Kyoko would be awesome 8) Madoka is my favorite, though, so please include her! |

| mid | Jenny - Studio Killers (song) | please see yuletide letter above! | letter | |
| mid | Orange is the New Black | Alex Vause | Alex is my and everybody's favorite character and everyone knows it. to be completely honest, the show is so great that I have trouble thinking of prompts for it, but as long as it involves Alex I'D LOVE IT. and I like Alex/Piper as much as the next person but I have a real soft spot for Alex and Nikki too, whether they're putting their busting-out-of-jail fantasies into reality or shoving snacks into each others mouths in another snack-off. that said any smut fic with Alex would be amazing too hahha. also the chicken episode was my favorite thing, so anything involving that chicken would be hilarious! |
letter |
| mid | ICO (Video Game) | Ico Yorda (ICO) | I LOVE THIS GAME and I think I would basically love ANY FIC FOR IT AT ALL. I love Yorda's caged bird imagery and the castle mystique and the entire fairy-tale mythos. getting the feeling it'd be pretty hard to write about this, but some ideas I find neat are, for example, AUs in which Ico and Yorda switch positions as captive and horned girl, or maybe something healing set post-game. really though I'd love anything involving these two! | letter |
| mid | 幻影ヲ駆ケル太陽 il sole penetra le illusioni | Day Break Illusion | Tsukuyomi Luna | Luna is great, I love her wolf theme and her binding magic and her insecurities. shipping wise I also love her with Akari or Seira or even both! | |
| Emiline | The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011) | Evelyn Greenslade, Douglas Ainslie, Evelyn Greenslade's son | I adore Evelyn and Douglas' burgeoning friendship and romance, and would love a story that incorporates Evelyn's son's reaction to Evelyn and Douglas' relationship. Possibly her son finds out in the course of the movie, perhaps post-movie Evelyn and Douglas go to England for a visit. (My Yuletide signup name is Emiline, but my Dear Yuletide Author Letter is linked to my livejournal, where I go by the name of northeto.) |
letter |
| Emiline | Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen | Elinor Dashwood, Colonel Brandon | I enjoy Elinor and Colonel Brandon's friendship very much, and would love a story that explores that friendship. I also sometimes ship them, so if that is your inclination as well, please feel free to run with that. If that is not your cup of tea, a friendship-only story will make me just as happy. (My Yuletide signup name is Emiline, but my Dear Yuletide Author Letter is linked to my livejournal, where I go by the name of northeto.) |

| Emiline | Quartet (2012) | Jean Horton, Wilf Bond, Reginald Paget, Cissy Robson | I enjoyed this movie greatly, and would be happy with just about anything (as long as it's not R-rated). I have rambled at some length about these characters in my Yuletide letter, so if you're looking for ideas, please feel free to go to my letter.

| Emily | Rose Under Fire - Elizabeth Wein | Rose Justice, Róża Czajkowska, Maddie Brodatt (Rose Under Fire) | Code Name Verity was one of my favorite books of 2012, and Rose Under Fire is one of my favorites of 2013. The friendships and women being sensational teams and surviving. I'd really love to see what happens next with Rose & Róża in Edinburgh or at that Christmas at Castle Craig with the Beaufort-Stuarts. Alternatively anything at all about these amazing women. | letter |
| Emily | Newsies!: the Musical - Fierstein/Menken | Jack Kelly, David Jacobs, Katherine Plumber Pulitzer | I really just would just love to see post-musical fic of them being union organizers and reporters in NYC during the early 20th century. | letter |
| Emily | Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell | Cath Avery | The one thing I felt was missing from Fangirl was Cath's online interaction & friends. I would absolutely love to see that filled in somehow. But if that doesn't appeal, Cath & Wren being an amazing team or Cath & Reagan living together & mocking people in the cafe or Levi being his adorable self (and maybe the meeting of his family?). | letter |
| Emily | The Montmaray Journals - Michelle Cooper | Sophie FitzOsborne, Veronica FitzOsborne | The FitzOsborne ladies are flat out awesome. I could type out another fifteen superlatives without even feeling like I'm touching their degree of amazing. Anything you could write with more FitzOsbornes in it would make me incredibly happy. I love all the FitzOsbornes & their people so add in whoever speaks to you. Feel free to focus on just one of the ladies or both, whichever works for you. | letter |
| Emily | Tricksters - Tamora Pierce | Alianne Cooper, Dovasary Balitang | This is another post-canon request - Aly & Dove are my absolutely favorite Pierce characters, and I would adore seeing them working together and continuing to grow into a team after Trickster's Queen. Or maybe one time they really fail at working together, but the bond of friendship & respect between them is so very important to me. | letter |
| milyenrose | Fallen London | Echo Bazaar | The Quiet Deviless, Affectionate Devil | Two devils. One hapless Fallen Londoner, about to become more fallen. Is this a competition? A collaboration? It's definitely a seduction. This is one of my favourite plotlines and I would love to read more about it. You could write about what's going on from the devils' point of view, or get deeper into how the player character feels and reacts to what's happening. You could bring in the character's friends and acquaintances showing concern. Or you could not talk about the player at all and just focus on the relationship between the two devils. Please note that I, uh, absolutely do not have a problem with dubcon, at all, ever, if that is something you are at all interested in writing. This particular storyline lends itself well to that sort of thing, in my opinion! |
letter |
| milyenrose | Free! | Nanase Haruka, Matsuoka Rin | I would be happy with any kind of shippy fic for these two, because rival ships are like catnip to me. Set it during next year's swimming season and give me awkward highschool romance that mostly consists of Rin trying to figure out if Haru has even heard of highschool romance, and I'll be happy - especially if they spend a lot of the story actually swimming! Or set it during some future Olympics when they're both competing but only Rin seems to have noticed that there's a competition even happening - and I'll STILL be happy! (Especially if they spend a lot of the story actually swimming. I love the whole swimming element of this ridiculous swimming anime.) Or, alternatively, if you would prefer a weird and wonderful and not-necessarily-shippy prompt: write me a story where SOMEONE IS A SELKIE. I don't care who. (Let's be honest though it's probably Haru.) Who kidnapped them from the ocean? What happens when someone finds the sealskin? FEEL FREE TO COMBINE THIS WITH THE HIGHSCHOOL ROMANCE PROMPT. OR THE OLYMPICS PROMPT. OR BOTH. (I'm not sure it's possible to do both, but I leave it to your judgement, dear author.) |
letter |
| milyenrose | The Immortals - Tamora Pierce | Veralidaine Sarrasri (Immortals), Numair Salmalín (Immortals) | 'One day you'll look at me and you'll see an old man.' Tell me a story about Numair growing older, maybe. Tell me a story about Numair in his seventies while Daine's barely sixty, and both of them dealing with what the future is likely to hold. Tell me a story about death, maybe. Daine's half a god; is immortality an option? Would it be a good option if it was? I know this is a weird, kind of sad prompt, but this is a couple where I felt the books never quite dealt with the, hmm, the thematic implications of their relationship. They spend the quartet facing down beings who don't die, but Daine's too young to really understand what *living forever* might mean. She's also too young to really understand why Numair worries about the age gap between them. But immortality and age and agelessness and death are all over those books; and Daine, who is friends with animals, will see a lot of her friends age and die before she does. So yes. Tell me about that. Oh dear, this is so specific and I don't really have a more general prompt. I am 100% okay with any story you care to write about Daine and Numair! I am very fond of them! This is just the biggest issue in their relationship for me and I'd love to see a story that touches on it in some way. |

| milyenrose | Shirley - Charlotte Bronte | Shirley Keeldar, Caroline Helstone | "I would be very good if you would let me. I have every disposition to be good. It is my misfortune and habit, I know, to think of myself paramount to anybody else; but who is not like me in that respect? However, when Captain Keeldar is made comfortable, accommodated with all he wants, including a sensible, genial comrade, it gives him a thorough pleasure to devote his spare efforts to making that comrade happy. And should we not be happy, Caroline, in the Highlands? We will go to the Highlands. We will, if you can bear a sea-voyage, go to the Isles—the Hebrides, the Shetland, the Orkney Islands. Would you not like that? I see you would.—Mrs. Pryor, I call you to witness. Her face is all sunshine at the bare mention of it." "I should like it much," returned Caroline, to whom, indeed, the notion of such a tour was not only pleasant, but gloriously reviving. Shirley rubbed her hands. "Come; I can bestow a benefit," she exclaimed. "I can do a good deed with my cash. My thousand a year is not merely a matter of dirty bank-notes and jaundiced guineas (let me speak respectfully of both, though, for I adore them), but, it may be, health to the drooping, strength to the weak, consolation to the sad. I was determined to make something of it better than a fine old house to live in, than satin gowns to wear, better than deference from acquaintance and homage from the poor. Here is to begin. This summer, Caroline, Mrs. Pryor and I go out into the North Atlantic, beyond the Shetland, perhaps to the Faroe Isles. We will see seals in Suderoe, and, doubtless, mermaids in Stromoe.—Caroline is laughing, Mrs. Pryor. I made her laugh; I have done her good." I LOVE SHIRLEY I SHIP HER AND CAROLINE REALLY HARD I'm sorry, this isn't even pretending to be a prompt (I actually find writing YT prompts really difficult, I suck.) I love Shirley and I think Caroline should kiss her on the face and then they should go on a romantic holiday in Scotland together. In general I love tropey romantic stories with pining (no one writes enough tropey romantic pining femslash) so if you could do me one of those I would be really really happy. This is unusual for me and YT - I usually try to give my author as much leeway as possible! - but I am going to list a couple of things I would rather *not* get. I would prefer not to read: a) sad stories about how being a woman/a lesbian/a genderqueer person in the 19th century sucks. Shirley in the book doesn't let anything stop her for a moment, so it would feel weird for that element of her personality to be missing. Also while I'm thinking about it, it is up to you to decide if you think Shirley is or is not any of those things. I can read her lots of different ways and I am happy with all of them. Do what feels right! b) defiant stories about how great it is that Shirley is a woman/a lesbian/a genderqueer person. I am much more interested in Shirley's relationship with Caroline than I am in her identity for its own sake, if that makes sense. I hope that's okay! Have fun writing, I love these two very much and will happily read pretty much anything for them. (What if they did find a mermaid?) |

| EmmaDeMarais | Miracles (TV) | Paul Callan, Alva Keel | Alva and Paul gen fic would be perfect. I don't slash them, but if you can't help yourself please try to keep it to pre-slash. No porn! I absolutely love hurt/comfort so if you can whump either of them I'd adore it. Head injuries FTW! I don't like Evelyn so if you can leave her out or keep her in a very minor role that would be great. A case fic would be awesome, but if that's too much a nice moment between Alva and Paul, showing how much they mean to each other, would be lovely. | letter |
| EmmaDeMarais | Perception (TV) | Daniel Pierce (Perception) | Drama! I want Daniel in trouble, hurting, in need of help and getting some. I prefer gen, but am open to het with a well written woman from canon. The episode Shadow was amazing, but Light was such a let down. Give me a better version of that plot - saving Daniel from that dark place. | letter |
| EmmaDeMarais | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Katrina Crane | Flashback fic! I'd love to see Ichabod in present day working a case and having a vision of Katrina that leads to flashbacks to their past. NC17 a bonus, but PG13 het is fine too. Minimal or no Abbie a bonus. I want the focus on Ichabod and his present day torment: his dark mission, facing the fact that everyone he ever knew died hundreds of years ago and the state of his beloved wife including what he knows about her now. | letter |
| EmmaDeMarais | Elementary (TV) | Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | Option 1: Sherlock/Irene - Show me them during their happy days, perhaps with Sherlock showing off how good a detective he is. No mention of the reveal that comes later. Option 2: Sherlock and Joan H/C - Put them in a position where Sherlock's actions get Joan seriously hurt in a place where she can't get care and let Sherlock feel the guilt and pain of knowing he's done this to someone he cares about. Option 3: Tobias Gregson - Aidan Quinn FTW! Give me the Captain working closely with Sherlock, perhaps on an early case, where they must learn to trust each other to survive and catch the bad guy. No slash, just friendship and perhaps a bit of surrogate father figure if you must. |
letter |
| EmmaDeMarais | Grimm (TV) | Monroe (Grimm) | Monroe/Rosalie please! If not sweet PG13 het then at least some nice case gen where Monroe is instrumental in solving a Grimm case with Nick. Bonus if Rosalie's shop is a focal point along with her. If you can't stand Rosalie then a look into Monroe's private life with his cello and pilates and fine coffee. Otherwise, some rewind hot het with his old girlfriend Angelina. |

| mpressearwig | Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle | Adam Eddington, Vicky Austin, Josiah Davidson, Suzy Austin | This is really an either/or request, where I would love either Vicky/Adam or Suzy/Dave. If you wanted to combine them all into one big story, though, I would be more than happy with that. For Vicky and Adam, I'm interested in them being happy and strong and together, and for Suzy and Dave, I'm more interested in the process of how they got there. | letter |

Rin with longer hair, instant hotness!) |

| Enchanter | AMNESIA (Visual Novel) | Ukyo (AMNESIA), Toma (Amnesia) | I have always loved Ukyo's long hair, factor this into the story some how as an attraction point and I will love it. If you need direction, perhaps Toma, looking out for Ukyo's safety, locks him in a cage and delicious things ensue. Yeah, you know what I mean, DO IT NOW! I prefer things that are funny or smutty and I really like focusing on how pretty long hair is. I'm sorry, I like men with long hair what can I say? |

| Encyclopediac | The F Plus RPF | Write me anything! Preferably in tone with the canon. (I mean, if you want to write tone-inapproriate suicide fic, far be it from me to stop you). I love the Ridiculists, and would read basically anything that you wanted to come up with. I'd love it if it were terrible, but terribly enthusiastic. But I will also enjoy a well-written fic ABOUT terrible things. Really, I'd be all over, say, Acier and Isfahan's secret furry love, for example. If you wanted to take that "botched love spell" from Hocus Bogus and run with it-- or any other plot thread about the Ridiculists relationships. Or Bunnybread's voice secretly seducing all the other Ridiculists. |
letter | |
| Encyclopediac | Yoroiden Samurai Troopers | Ronin Warriors | Xiu Lei Huang | Kento Rei Fang | How is Shin not a character? I love Xiu/Shin with Shin being snarktastic and Xiu being smug and solid and dependable. But, honestly, anything with Xiu would be great. It can be pre, post, or mid series, I'm not too fussed, but I especially love his interactions with the other Troopers. He's solid and dependable, and that's my favorite sort of boy either in a paring or in ensemble. Alternately, I really like plotty adventure fic, so Xiu saving people would be super awesome. If you want to write about Xiu fighting Rajura's illusions, that's also awesome! I always felt like that stone vs illusions match up should get more attention. I used to frequent the Minkland archive back when this fandom still kinda existed, and was forever disappointed that the skinny pretty boys got tons and tons of fic and Xiu was just sort of there in the background. Not that I didn't love the ridiculous semi-crack/semi-porn/semi-AU fic. I do. OH I DO. Weird-ass AUs and kinky semi or wholly porn would also be supercool! Dress Xiu up in leather or something. Mmm, butch boys. |
letter |
| Encyclopediac | Winx Club | Stormy (Winx Club), Icy (Winx Club), Darcy (Winx Club) | I love the Trix. They're complete assholes, but I've always liked their HBIC attitudes, especially in the first season. Actually, I specifically enjoy the first season most-- they're still students, even if they're total Mean Girls, and clearly plotting to take over the world. They also don't really spend the first season fighting over guys the way they do later on; Darcy's stealing Riven notwithstanding, of course. They don't fight each other). I'd love pre-series fic about how they met and became this force to be reckoned with at Cloudtower. Or maybe you could explain what the difference between witches and fairies is (besides that one group is evil and has awesome eyeshadow, and the other dresses like hookers and have wings). I'm also a femslash fan, so pairing fic with the three of them would be great. I also really like the Winx, regardless of their terrible fashion sense. If you want to write a plotty adventure pitting the Trix against the Winx, or where the two groups have to reluctantly team up, that'd be amazing. Tecna, Musa and Bloom are my favorite Winx, for the record. I like Stella and Flora too, but their both a little girly for my tastes. Also, I ship Tecna/Musa a lot. Finally, I'd also enjoy an AU where the Trix managed to actually defeat everyone at the end of Season one. What happens then? |
letter |
| Encyclopediac | Iron Fey Series - Julie Kagawa | Meghan Chase | I love Meghan. I mean, I like her in the way that I really really want her to be more bad ass than she is. Like, I love most of the characters in the series and sort of want to run away with them into a better plot. I love all of the iron fey stuff, but the love triangle stuff drives me up and down walls, and I really mostly just want some coming-of-age for Meghan that doesn't involve worrying about/pining over/being in love with Ash and/or Rob. I mean, I don't mind her being in love with Ash, I like Ash! I just want him to stop being the center of her universe. (Which is not to say I don't want Ash around, I love that he's always the damsel in distress. Damsel in distress!Ash is my favorite sort.) I love the adventure parts, and the negotiating with fey and generally the plotty part of the series, so if you want to write gen adventure fic, that's awesome. I mean, if you want to write about Meghan and Ash's first time, or being romantically fey or something, that's all great. I also love traditional faerie lore, so if you want to incorporate traditional folklore into the stories-- or folklore from someplace other than the vaguely British-esque stuff that it's the books, I'd be all over that too. |

I ship these two like crazy, be it as an actual slash pairing or just as brothers (like the rest of Shinhwa), so whatever takes your fancy. If you do go the slashy route, I'd be insanely happy, but it's not a requirement. These two have such a great relationship, I just want some fic that explores it in more detail than the moments of fanservice and hand-holding ^^ (Oh, and apropos of nothing -- I kind of love the way Andy bosses Dongwan around. If you know what I mean ;P LOL) |

| ndymionic | Running Man RPF | Kim Jongkookm Lee Kwangsoo, Song Jihyo | This is my only OT3 in any fandom. I just love the way they interact: Kwangsoo loves his noona, Jihyo and Jongkook are unstoppable together, and Kwangsoo and Jongkook are just hilarious. A fic with the three of them just being themselves after the cameras are switched off would be great, or any sort of interaction. Please don't make it too serious -- honestly I don't really care what you decide to do, but yeah. Please no angst for these three. | letter |

Maybe set in Mainland China, or Hong Kong, with the immense upheaval caused by modernity and how that impacts how a fox might try and take control of his or her own destiny.

| ntwashian | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | Anything, anything, anything! I love that she's smart and resourceful; I love that she's playful despite/because of her seemingly painful past. I know a lot of fans have conspiracy theories about Skye being a skilled spy/mole/operative, but I feel like her character is pretty straightforward. I think it's possible she would betray the team, but I think she'd be doing it because she felt like whatever she needed to do was the right thing to do, not because of deliberate sabotage (e.g. - she got Mike to trust her in the pilot, but later gave him up to SHIELD to try to save him). I really like the fact that she has such a mysterious past at present, so if you want to write backstory, I'd prefer it to be after she became "Skye", like maybe how she got involved with The Rising Tide or something. She seems to have a thing for the number 3 in the pilot (the 3 packets of sugar she plays with in the diner, the 3 chips on the shelf she conceals from May), and it'd be cool to see that as a thematic element in fic. I could pretty much ship her with anyone so if you want to write a romance of any kind, go for it (my go-to ships are Skye/May, Skye/Ward, and Skye/FitzSimmons). | letter |
| ntwashian | Graceland (TV) | Johnny Tuturro | There's no way I could have narrowed the team down to 4 people, so I just picked my favoritest one of all! I think the high points of the series come when the housemates end up helping each other out at work and end up being surprised by each others' skills (e.g. - Johnny's Navy SEAL reveal; Paige's one-woman assault on the greenhouse). Two of my favorite Johnny-involved dynamics are Johnny-and-Paige (fun & flirty; I think she treats him as more of an equal than anyone else in the house) and Johnny-and-Jakes (very little brother-big brother). One of my headcanons is that Johnny is a total chickenhawk, and you cannot leave your girl alone for 2 minutes, or he will swoop in and charm her pants off. Johnny's backstory in Hair of the Dog screams for some SEALs hell week fic, if you feel so inclined. | letter |
| ntwashian | The Heat (2013) | Sarah Ashburn, Shannon Mullins | I would love some friendship fic with these two ladies. A lot of people said this movie was the same thing as an action movie starring two men, but I don't think it was. I think there was a heavier focus on the characters bonding with each other and learning to become supportive of each other, and I think that's super awesome. Especially since both characters grew from their experience, but didn't change in their fundamentals (in that Ashburn didn't have to become more like Mullins to respect Mullins' work, and vice versa). There's more than one way to be a badass. Since the film takes place on Mullins' home turf, with Ashburn as a fish out of water, I think it would be cool to see the opposite in fic. I would love to see some tropes stomped on (e.g. - the failed emergency tracheotomy). Because the characters are so strongly defined, I think they would lend themselves well to AU fic (especially scifi trope AUs, like superheroes or IN SPAAAACE). I don't know if it is possible to have crack!fic for this fandom, so get as weird as you want! | letter |
| ntwashian | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Phryne Fisher, Dorothy "Dot" Williams | I love all the characters, but I picked Phryne & Dot because they are the heart of the show. What's so interesting to me is not that Phryne takes such a special interest in Dot and elevates her status (because that's a trope we see a lot in historical fiction to try to demonstrate how "progressive" our heroine is), but that Phryne's guidance is merely that -- guidance. She may push Dot out of her comfort zone and encourage her to try new things, but Phryne always leaves Dot with a choice, and supports her no matter what choice she makes. Phryne's privilege means she sometimes takes advantage of people, but she never seems to take advantage of Dot. Meanwhile, Dot is still the sweet Catholic girl who earnestly prays for sick zebras at the zoo, but she's also blossomed into a badass undercover agent who notices things like smugglers signaling each other at a busy train station. I definitely squee over the canon ships of Phryne/Jack and Dot/Hugh, but I could also see Phryne/Dot happening. | letter |
| os_dawn_aurora | Free! | Matsuoka Gou, Mikoshiba Seijuurou, Matsuoka Rin | If you choose to write for this fandom, I would like to read more about these three, preferably about Gou and Seijuurou getting together and Rin trying to deal with it/being obstructive/or any other shenanigans. You can get the rest of the swim team involved, but I would prefer the focus to be on the relationships between these three characters. Possibly even older versions of them, if you'd like to write Gou and Seijuurou in a long-term relationship, and Rin growing to accept it (or not). Also, if you're going to pair Rin off, I prefer Haru, but Rei is good as well. | letter |
| os_dawn_aurora | The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones | Gabriel de Witt | What I'm really looking for is something with a bit of worldbuilding perhaps and expansion on Gabriel's time as Chrestomanci, how he handles his duties differently from Christopher and maybe a bit of world-hopping and doing those things that nine-lived enchanters do. Also, I don't remember what his weakness was - with Cat it was being only able to cast magic with his left hand and with Christopher he couldn't touch silver - perhaps if it isn't in the books you could work in Gabriel's somehow. | letter |
| os_dawn_aurora | Oban Star-Racers | Don Wei, Rick Thunderbolt, Molly (Eva Wei) | If you choose to write in this fandom - I'm actually recycling a prompt from a few Yuletides ago, since I still crave fic for this: I'd like something fun and post-series, perhaps with Rick as Eva's new manager back on Earth, and I'd like to see how this affects her relationship with her father and Rick's relationship with Don. Also, if Rick and Eva got together I would be more than okay with it - since this pairing is so rare and I love mentor/student pairings - as long as she's much older in the story. I'd prefer if Rick were not cured of the damage to his nervous system, and it would be interesting to see how he copes, and how it affects his personality long-term. |

| os_dawn_aurora | Black Books | Bernard Black, Manny Bianco, Fran Katzenjammer | I love all of the characters, and this is one of the few live-action comedy shows I can go back to watch and still find funny. I'd like a humorous story starring all three, but other than that it's anything goes. My favorite episodes were probably the first one, the one where Bernard gets locked out and the one where Fran gets the job where she doesn't know what she's supposed to do. Anything you can come up with will be golden. | letter |
| os_dawn_aurora | Skip Beat! | Mogami Kyoko, Reino (Skip Beat!) | I love the humor and Kyoko's relationship with Ren, but I'd like to see explored the darker more supernatural part of the manga that only seems to really exist between her and Reino. Reino is a total creep, but I'm still intrigued by his character, so I'd like a little something with him and Kyoko, that involves her demons and his ability to manipulate them and perhaps even her. Don't be afraid to go dark with this one. | letter |
| os_dawn_aurora | The Witch's Son - auroaronkitten | Witch's Son (auroaronkitten) | I'm asking for this one on a whim, because I saw this painting and absolutely wanted to know what the boy in the painting is up to. What is he collecting a bird's blood for? What is in the other vials? Is his mother still around? Does he come from a long line of witches and wizards? Basically, anything you can tell me about him and his world would be fantastic! | letter |
| rianstatue | The Pride - Kaye Campbell | Oliver (The Pride), Philip (The Pride) | Equally happy with either or both sets of characters, 1958 or 2008. I'd love to see some of the romantic/physical 1958 relationship that mostly happens offstage - but would honestly be more than happy with anything at all based on this play. | letter |
| rianstatue | Spaced | Mike Watt, Dexter (Spaced) | o as Simon Pegg tells us, Mike and Dexter get together and move to South London! Man, I would like to read ANYTHING about them. How did they go from the bitterest of robot enemies to pleasant cohabitation? Or are they still the bitterest of robot enemies to this day, except also doing each other? Or WHAT? | letter |
| rianstatue | The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon | Tom Mayflower | The Escapist | Okay, I've only picked Tom Mayflower/The Escapist as a character here because I would just really like to read anything at all involving him, the actual fictionally-fictional character. But further than that, I don't mind - I'd read a completely Escapist-universe adventure with his crack team of associates, or something intersecting with the 'real' Sammy and Joe universe, or anything about how Tom Mayflower and the Escapist and Tracy Bacon overlap... | letter |
| rianstatue | Trapeze (1956) | Mike Ribble, Tino Orsini | ANYTHING MIKE/TINO. ANYTHING. Uhh that doesn't feel very helpful! I promise to say some more in the dear author letter when I write it! But that really is the gist of the request. | letter |
| Erin_C | FRAGILE さよなら月の廃墟 | Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon | Seto (Fragile) | This game is so sad and so beautiful and so powerfully atmospheric. I love the lonely, empty beauty of the environments as nature takes them back over, and all the little details that give shape to the rooms and corridors, including but not limited to the memory items and graffiti — so many small, leftover bits of peoples' lives that add up to so much. Also the ghosts, and the spooky animals, and the friendly cats. But one of the things I love best about the game is how, while it can be scary or unsettling at times, it's never JUST scary. Its portrayals of hotel rooms consumed by trees and mold, empty offices, broken-down amusement park rides, weeds pushing up through railroad tracks and patio stones — they have such poignancy to them, such a sense of love for what these places used to be, so that you feel the loss of them. But it strikes me that there's a difference between how the player sees the world of this game and how Seto does. He's very much an innocent alone in the world, the person who raised him apparently the only other human being he's ever known. He doesn't know anything firsthand of this society that was — all his knowledge would have to have come secondhand, from his grandpa or from books or from interpolation. What does he make of what he sees? It would have to be something like inheriting a home from grandparents you didn't know very well. Until Ren, he never does meet another living human being, but Personal Frame and Crow and Sai and the ghosts he runs across are just as much his precious friends. I both ship and friendship Seto/Crow — I love Crow's playfulness — but I would love to see more of Seto's relationships with any of the nominated characters as he explores his ruined world, whether before, after, or during the game. AUs are awesome, like if Seto should somehow find batteries for PF or Crow. (And it kills me how all those androids you fight at the end of the game have Crow's face. What's the story on that? Was he just another android who somehow developed a personality?) Alternatively, how do these other characters see him? | letter |
| Erin_C | Fate/Zero | Matou Kariya | o little screen time, so many feels. ;__; In a show where nearly every story is tragic, it's Kariya's tragedy that moves me the most. Unlike most of the participants in the Grail War, he's fundamentally a nice person (albeit also arguably a Nice Guy, on which topic I received some great fics during last year's Yuletide) whose primary motivation is rescuing a little girl he loves like a daughter, and he will go through the same hell she's been thrust into if it means saving her from that fate. This cuts even deeper because he abandoned the family business because it was so horrendous, and that is the ultimate reason why Sakura is sold into it in his stead. I'd be happy with all sorts of stuff for Kariya, from dark to fluff and everything in between: he and Sakura basically being each other's only family in the hell that is the Matou household (even though in the end he fails her so horribly, he gives his all for her safety and is the only person who hasn't abused or abandoned her); his relationship with Berserker (we don't get nearly enough of their interaction in canon, beyond that harrowing vision before Kariya wakes up chained to the wall); whatever he must've been through growing up with Zouken as a father; how it was that he fell so hard and so unshakably for Aoi. Or what were things like between he and Aoi and her daughters before Sakura was sold to Zouken? They're so obviously the family he wishes he could've had, but they're not and can't be. And then there's a weird idea I can't help wondering about, which is what Kariya and Kiritsugu would have thought of each other had they met in canon. (Well, Kiritsugu almost certainly has a file on Kariya, what with his thorough methodology, but I don't know if the reverse is true.) They're sort of weird inverses of each other, with certain commonalities in how they reject what their birth families stand for, and how self-hating they are, yet Kariya devotes himself solely to the protection of his loved ones, while Kiritsugu applies himself solely to principle and to saving The Most Number of People, even at the cost of his own family. Kariya is passion and hatred both at the expense of planning; Kiritsugu sets his deep feelings for his family aside in favor of cool calculation and will use any means to reach his ends. (If none of this strikes you, I also adore Saber/Irisviel and Waver/Rider as both ships and friendships and would be happy for fic about them too.) |

| Erin_C | Noein | This show's themes of love and loss and grief, and of taking strength from your loved ones -- the ones that are here with you and the ones that aren't -- really hit me where I live, so anything at all that relates to that would be golden. (And I have received truly golden fics for Noein for past Yuletides, thank you awesome past Yuletide writers! <3) I'm especially struck by the tenderness of the friendship (bordering on platonic romance, though I'm sure it would disturb Karasu to think of it that way, and if it disturbs you too, feel free to disregard that interpretation!) between Karasu and Haruka, and Karasu's love and grief and dogged determination to protect her, and the way Haruka loves him in this open-hearted way despite him being this scary guy from the future. It's so poignant how around her he's this mixture of tenderness and agonized restraint, because he doesn't dare mistake this Haruka for the one he lost, and yet here she is, the person he's loved since he was a child himself. Yuu himself I empathize with a lot because of his mental issues -- he is so terribly lost and wound up, and you can see how in one universe he becomes Noein and in another Karasu. If you take what happens at the end of the show as Karasu sort of being absorbed by Yuu, whether in reality or in some metaphysical way, it makes me wonder how Yuu is affected by that as a person. What sort of adult does he become in a universe free of the pressures of losing Haruka to La'Cryma or everyone he loves to a fireball? How might Haruka and Yuu pursue a relationship as they get older? La'Cryma-verse backstory for Karasu/Haruka and/or Karasu/Fukurou always makes me happy. Atori's character arc is incredibly touching to me for reasons similar to Karasu's; at the beginning of the show he's completely off the rails, but by the end he's come around because he's found someone (the endearingly loopy Miho) to care for and protect. I also love his relationship with Tobi (not to mention Tobi himself) and would happily read shipfic for them; it's fascinating how Tobi is so calm and logical and scientifically minded, yet he has this bond with Atori, who's so impulse-driven. Where do they come from? Where have they found common ground? Noein himself I find terribly tragic, because no matter how many universes he trawls through, he can only see reflections of his own grief. On a lighter note, the scene where the rest of Haruka's friends meet Karasu is one of my favorites in the series, and in general I'm vastly entertained by Tobi, Atori, Karasu and the kids (and toward the end of the series, Uchida and Kooriyama) all scheming together in the storage room at Haruka's house. There is almost no end to the stuff I love about this series. The character interactions between the kids. Karasu and Fukurou's friendship (and Yuu and Isami's, for that matter). Fukurou in general, because he's so bloody cheerful and level-headed and sane to balance out Karasu's inner turmoil. (Is Fukurou's past in fact the one we see in the Bad Ending shown to Haruka by Noein, where he's lost his eye in a gang fight? How does he loop around again to such calm good humor?) The harrowing dimension of La'Cryma. Tobi and Atori's odd friendship. Haruka and her mom. Haruka in general -- she's such a calm, cheerful kid, and it always strikes me how brave and resilient she is, and how she manages to see straight through to who people really are. I love how she saves Yuu and Karasu every bit as much as they save her. It also occurs to me that canon is pretty much tailor-made for exploring alternate realities. | letter | |
| Erin_C | Sunshine - Robin McKinley | Rae "Sunshine" Seddon, Constantine (Sunshine) | I really want these two to bone. Their UST is through the roof. But failing that, I'd love more Sunshine/Con interaction, whether something more along the lines of hanging out, or facing some new (or ongoing threat) at each other's side. I love Sunshine's crankiness and her rambling motormouth voice and her monologues about bakery, and how homey she is even as she's getting caught up in something huge and supernatural and Beyond Her Ken. I love how Constantine is creepy and otherworldly and very inhuman, yet at the same time very formal and... courtly is probably not the word. But his "I beg your pardon most profoundly” still sort of cracks me up. I love how careful he is of Rae, and I love how they care about each other and support each other even though they are literally like night and day, and I want to see them continue to fit into each other's lives post-book. | letter |
| ris | Free! | Nanase Haruka | Mostly I am fascinated by Haruka and want to read about how completely weird he is. A large part of that is in how he struggles to understand his own emotional responses e.g. his fear of losing Rin, his frequent resentment/confusion at others' expectations for him, his general inability to communicate -- but a large part of it is also how he swims in his bathtub and survives off mackeral and behaves badly in the aquarium section of pet stores. HARU IS SO WEIRD. You can write ensemble antics or character study or porn with anyone (fwiw my pairing preference is Rin)--basically all I ask is that Haru is focal, because Haruuuu. |
letter |
| ris | No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | Shion (No. 6), Nezumi (No. 6) | I love anything exploring the tensions between Shion and Nezumi as they negotiate each other's issues and space and expectations whilst living together. I am fine with anime or novel canon, and I am especially fond of wintry scenarios e.g. huddling for warmth, someone nursing someone else through a fever, the small pleasures of hot meals and reading aloud while it snows outside. Post-series reunions are great too, but while happy endings are lovely I prefer they actually acknowledge that running off to wander the world is not actually a valid resolution to one's intimacy issues. | letter |
| ris | Tales of Xillia | Jude Mathis Alvin (Tales of Xillia) | Ideally, I would like to read something set in the aftermath of chapter four's beginning--something about betrayal and anger and sadness and the difficulties of keeping faith in anything but especially in each other. Whether or not this re-negotiation of roles includes porn is up to you, but I do ship it (especially if starts out as bitter and rough as their fight in the orchard). | letter |
| ris | Rent-a-Cat / Rentaneko | Sayoko (Rent-a-cat), Yoshikawa (Rent-a-cat) | I adore how understated this film was, the aesthetic of transience and happenstance, the way we only saw the sweetest hints of potential between Sayoko and Yoshikawa. That said, I would love for you to tell me more about them and the ways their eccentricities may complement each other; it could but needn't be overt romance (I think the playful subtlety is charming). I don't mind if you write about their childhoods, their future, or merely Sayoko reflecting on their meeting in the film. Or, if that does not inspire you, feel free to tell me all about how Sayoko and the girl from the Rent-a-car ran off together (on a day-trip, natch), or even just the story of another customer finding their ideal rental cat. | letter |
| ris | Classical Music RPF | Frédéric Chopin (Classical Music RPF) | You can write romance (Sand and/or Liszt?), historical ambience, epistolary, speculate on biographical details or a specific composition: literally anything will delight me. I can only hope that if you offered Chopin you adore him as much as I do and perhaps already have an idea of the story you would like to write. I promise, it will delight me. Nb I copied this directly from my previous years' request because this request never changes in my heart. Always love Chopin fic. | letter |
| ruthiel | Political RPF - UK 20th-21st c. | I forgot about Yuletide until the last minute this year, so nobody I'm interested in has been nominated >.> signin' up anyway! I would love to see some New Labour fic, pls. Especially something dark, angsty or bittersweet. Or Christmassy and lovely. It's all good. | letter | |
| ruthiel | Gorillaz | Murdoc Niccals, Stuart "2D" Pot, Noodle (Gorillaz), Cyborg Noodle | Aw yis. I was gutted when I couldn't request this last year. I'd really like something dark involving Murdoc and his horrible, hatesexy relationship with 2D! The Noodles are also awesome. Rockstar debauchery highly encouraged. | letter |
| ruthiel | The Thick of It (TV) | Malcolm Tucker, Jamie MacDonald, Peter Mannion, Emma Messinger | Anything, anything, anything. :D Snark, dicking about with the country and general sleaze all welcome - I don't care who's involved. | letter |
| ruthiel | Red Dwarf | Arnold Rimmer, Dave Lister, The Cat (Red Dwarf), Kryten (Red Dwarf) | cience fiction bros having weird adventures in time and space? Get me some of that pls. Shippiness is fine but not a priority. | letter |
| critoireazul | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Keladry of Mindelan | Kel is the Tamora Pierce POV character of my heart. I grew up with Alanna, and liked her story a lot, but Kel is so strong and so smart and so relatable, and just an absolutely amazing, driven, fantastic character. I'd love any story about her being awesome, and would particularly love girl slash about badass women and their swords. | letter |
| critoireazul | Provost's Dog - Tamora Pierce | Sabine of Macayhill | I love Sabine far more than I ever expected. I want to know more about her adventures as a knight and a noble in a world starting to go toward the gentle mother. As with Kel, I'd love any story about her being awesome, and would particularly love girl slash about badass women and their swords. | letter |
| critoireazul | Dance Academy | Abigail Armstrong | Abigail is amazing and delightful, strong and opinionated and an amazing, passionate dancer. I am particularly intrigued by how she relates to Sammy and Ollie, but any story about her brilliance would be awesome. | letter |
| critoireazul | Bunheads | Melanie Segal | What I love best about Melanie is her passion and her anger and finding positive ways to explore it. My favorite interpretation of Melanie is that she is a queer woman who finds herself through positive violence (such as roller derby or boxing or something). I particularly ship her with Cozette. | letter |
| Estirose | Final Fantasy II | I'd love any fic in this fandom featuring the four main characters, though there are so few fics that I'd take practically anything. That being said, I'd love fics about Maria and Firion's background, what languages Guy speaks, Firion having a meal with Leila and asking how she managed a land-bound army so well, or Leon learning to forgive himself. (And if you matched me thinking this game starred a guy named Cecil, please see my letter for how to get your hands on a game transcript and some prompts that might be useful to you.) | letter | |
| Estirose | FRAGILE さよなら月の廃墟 | Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon | There's so little fic in this fandom that anything would be wonderful, especially fic focusing on Seto and PF. (I just love PF, if you couldn't tell.) The memories break my heart, so if you can't find anything about the main characters, please write me something there. Sai's background would be great, as would her after the ending of the game. I have a weak spot for the little girl playing hide and go seek. She's bratty, but I don't think she's a bad kid, just a little self-centered. I'd also be happy with some Seto and Crow chatting during the tail end of the fun fair segment, but I'd prefer gen with those two. | letter | |
| Estirose | Ghost Soup Infidel Blue | Bipi the Medi-Bot | Bipi-centered, please! I want to see him in all his creepiness. His staff, too, if you can manage it, though anything would be wonderful. Whether he's "taking care" of his patients, serving tea with exotic flavors, or being found on a dead ship, it's up to you, but please make him scary. | letter |
| Estirose | Kamen Rider Kiva | I just find Taiga, Mio, and Wataru fascinating, both in romantic and non-romantic ways. I mean, I wouldn't mind fluffy OT3 fic, but I realize that the incest involved is not everybody's cup of tea (and heck, Mio was woefully and terribly developed. I love her anyway). So, just something happy AU-ish for Taiga and Mio where Mio hadn't fallen for Wataru, or an established Mio/Wataru pre-series relationship where things don't happen to her. Or, if you prefer gen, I'd love introspective on one of them, especially Taiga and Mio, and what makes them tick. | letter | |
| Estirose | Zero | Project Zero | Fatal Frame Series | This is another fandom I'd be happy with any of the eight nominated characters and with pretty much anything. Miku is my favorite of the four leads, and I'd love fic focused between I and III, mostly how she copes and how she gets some help. Explain how Rei doesn't know anything about Miku's brother before III. Miku and Rei and their lives between the two games, and how Rei met her fiance. Give me a story about Dr. Aso, Seijiro Makabe, and how Seijiro ended up with taking the camera to Minakami village. Or Seijiro Makabe getting his wish to see the ritual firsthand. He seemed so exciting. If that doesn't appeal, any of the ghosts would be great; I'm partial to Broken Neck (or Broken Neck Woman), and a bit of backstory would be wonderful. | letter | |
| Etanseline | DRAMAtical Murder | Seragaki Aoba, Koujaku (DRAMAtical Murder) | Negotiating the switch from childhood friends to boyfriends and awkwardly testing out boundaries. | letter |
| Etanseline | 999: Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors | Lotus (999), Snake (999), Clover (999) | I haven't yet played Virtue's Last Reward, so please avoid spoilers! I would love introspective fic or something family-focused for this fandom, specifically about Lotus (more about her motivation for joining the second Nonary game, and her relationship with her daughters), or about Snake and Clover. | letter |
| Etanseline | Havemercy Series - Jaida Jones & Danielle Bennett | Thom (Havemercy), Balfour (Havemercy) | Rereading Havemercy reminded me of how much I wish these two had interacted more, and... that's my request in a nutshell, haha. Thom and Balfour interacting in some way, whether during the first book, through letters, somehow meeting up again at some point post-series, or in an AU setting. Also, feel free to write their interaction as platonic or romantic (one-sided or reciprocated). | letter |
| Etanseline | Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger | Biffy (Parasol Protectorate), Ivy Hisselpenny, Professor Lyall, Tunstell | Timeless ends with a lot of major, life-altering shifts for major characters, so what I'd like to see for this fandom is something that follows how any/all of the selected characters are doing a few years (or a few decades) after Timeless. Missing scenes from any point in the series would also be great! | letter |
| Etanseline | Rune Factory (Video Games) | Colette (Rune Factory), Marian (Rune Factory) | Colette and Marian are my favourite RF3 ladies so far, and I would love anything along the lines of their interactions in canon: Marian testing out her potions and "cures" on Colette, to varying degrees of failure, or perhaps a fic where Marian finally gets it right and comes up with a shot that doesn't threaten Colette's wellbeing? I'd love to know more about their wacky friendship, though again, feel free to write their relationship as platonic or romantic. | letter |
| n | Metropolis Suites - Janelle Monáe | Cindi Mayweather | Anything you want to give me would be great - I love this universe so much! Also, you know, ROBOT LOVE IS QUEER, so if that was a direction that you wanted to go, I would be into that. | letter |
| n | Indexing - Seanan McGuire | Henrietta "Henry" Marchen | Again, I'm in love with the worldbuilding of this, so more details would be lovely - I would also be down for ridiculous "shenanigans ensue" -type stories in this fandom, because FAIRY TALES. | letter |
| n | Elementary (TV) | Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Joan Watson (Elementary) | For elementary, I love the relationship between Sherlock and Joan, and how many different ways it can be interpreted: sexual, nonsexual, sexual-but-non-romantic, romantic-but-not-sexual, platonic lifemates who judge each others' life decisions...Wherever you want to go with the two of them, I will follow you. | letter |
| n | The Unusuals | Jason Walsh, Casey Shraeger, Allison Beaumont | I want Walsh, Shraeger, and Beaumont having adventures, and the more ridiculous and cliché-filled, the better. Undercover dating, road trips for great justice, bodyswap, mind reading...anything that involves these three being the ridiculous badasses they are. | letter |
| Etrangere | Black Lagoon | Rebecca "Revy", Eda (Black Lagoon) | Anything shippy against those two would be great, especially with a darker under current (drawing from Eda's real role as a CIA plant), mindfuckery and hatesex or even ending in murder. But just them having some banter and Eda teasing Revy about Rock would be awesome too. Telling the story of how they first met could also be fun. I also love Shenhua if you're game to do something with that. |
letter |
| Etrangere | Darker Than BLACK | Kirihara Misaki, November 11, Hei (Darker Than BLACK) | I'm looking for something centred on Kirihara if possible, and I love both her relationship with Hei and with November 11, so anything along those lines is good to me. Besides shippy stuff, I love anything with plot and spy action. Oh, also, despite the flaws of the sequel, I do love Suouh, so if you're game to write something with her, I wouldn't mind at all. |
letter |
| Etrangere | Kaleido Star | Layla Hamilton, Naegino Sora, Ken Robbins | I'd love to read the great epic romance of how Layla and Sora finally got together. Just any sort of first time fanfiction with more than musings. Ken's crush on Sora is also darling, and I love how he supports her. Something drawing on from that with a mix of angst and bittersweet friendship would be great as well. I certainly wouldn't hate some sort of Layla/Sora/Ken story. I love many other characters in that fandom (asides from Leon), so if you want to draw from other characters NO PROBLEM. |
letter |
| Etrangere | The Death Gate Cycle - Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman | Alfred Montbank, Haplo | Anything about their relationship, mid or post canon; shippy or platonic. Alfred/Haplo/Marit also works for me. |
letter |
| Etrangere | Deadpool & Cable | Wade Wilson (Deadpool & Cable), Nathan Summers (Deadpool & Cable), Hope Summers (Deadpool & Cable), Neena Thurman (Deadpool & Cable) | Any Cable/Deadpool fic would be great! I prefer stuff with a bit of angst and darker elements to it as well as the usual humour - their relationship definitely has a lot of up and down even at the best of time, and they both have their issues as characters. I prefer first time to assuming they're already together. I love Domino, and I wouldn't hate some Wade/Dom/Nathan. Just Domino and Wade drinking together and reminiscing (or killing people together and reminiscing) post Nathan's death definitely could work as well, or anything along those lines. Anything branching up from the Cable series with him in the future raising Hope that manages to include Deadpool somehow would be great as well (Deadpool also coming to the future, Future!Deadpool meeting with Cable instead of future!Cannonball...) At last, Deadpool meeting up with Hope, pre Cable resurrection and chatting with her about Cable or saving her life to honour his memory could be very interesting. A branching off from Avengers vs X-Men could also be very interesting. |
letter |
| Etrangere | Young Avengers | Tommy Shepherd (Young Avengers), Billy Kaplan (Young Avengers) | I'd love anything exploring their weird brotherly relationships, and their family in general (I'm a pretty big fan of Magneto, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Polaris and Luna as well...). If you can write anything about the Kaplans dealing with them, semi adopting Tommy and so on, I'll be happy. I would kill for a fic in which Rebecca Kaplan decides to invite the whole Magneto & co at a family dinner and all the awkwardness that could ensue from that (triple points if it's for a Jewish holiday that is not Hannukah). I always love House of M fics that explore what kind of people they could have been in that 'verse. I'd not say no to any Billy/Teddy/Tommy (because OMG those scenes between Teddy and Tommy at the end of Children's Crusade). |

| Eustacia Vye (eustaciavye) | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Door (Neverwhere), Richard Mayhew, Anaesthesia, Marquis de Carabas (Neverwhere) | I am such a Neil Gaiman fangirl, and I love this universe. Fractured fairy tales are absolutely lovely, and the hints of mythology, spells and the weaving of the fantastic surreal into the ordinary humdrum is something I love. Rather than just fill in the blanks in the book (or BBC movie, if that's where you got into the fandom), what about after the ending? How does Richard survive in London Below? We never heard from Anaesthesia again... What happened to her? Does Richard go on an epic quest to find her? | letter |
| Eustacia Vye (eustaciavye) | Chronicles of Riddick Series | Richard B. Riddick (Riddick Series), Carolyn Fry (Riddick Series), Jack | Kyra (Riddick Series) | I love the play between the characters, how there's gradations of evil and that the one that's considered the monster at first turns out to be the savior. It's the turnaround and interplay of characters that I would love to see. If you want to make an AU where Carolyn survives, I will love you forever. I actually love Carolyn/Riddick as a pairing if you go there. There are likely going to be plenty of stories that can take place after the Chronicles of Riddick (or if you want to pull in things from the movie, don't be scared about spoiling me). | letter |
| Eustacia Vye (eustaciavye) | Coraline (2009) | Coraline Jones, Wybourne "Wybie" Lovat, Other Mother | Who doesn't love a creepy otherworld? Following the events of the movie, does Coraline ever think about the other world at all? Does she think about the Other Mother? Does she try to go back there? | letter |
| Eustacia Vye (eustaciavye) | Tin Man (2007) | Wyatt Cain, Azkadellia, DG (Tin Man), Glitch (Tin Man) | I tend to pair Cain and DG together for shipping, never mind the age difference. What happened after the movie ended to the royal family? How do they rebuild the OZ? I don't believe for a moment that the possession didn't scar Azkadellia in some way, so how does she recover from that? | letter |

| vewithanapple | The Killing | Sarah Linden, Stephen Holder | While I'm ambivalent to this show's creative decisions a lot of the time, I've never stopped loving the Linden/Holder relationship. It's kind of a Mulder/Scully deal, only with no aliens and Scully as the main character and Mulder as the goofy tagalong who just wants to make her smile a lot. One request I would make here is that it not be angsty, at least not by the end- I know this is kind of a tall order with a canon like this, but maybe something like a cutscene with them hanging out on the couch watching movies? "Five Times Linden and Holder Got An Easy Case And One Time They Made Out In Celebration Afterwards?" A thousand words of shameless smut? Something COMPLETELY ridiculous like them going out and getting a puppy? Basically just something fluffy and tropey to give the characters a break from the constant angst. | letter |
| vewithanapple | Jesus Christ Superstar (2000) | Jesus of Nazareth (Jesus Christ Superstar (2000)), Judas Iscariot (Jesus Christ Superstar (2000)) | When I originally watched this, I interpreted it as being about the modern queer rights movement as interpreted through the musical, so you can get political with it if you want; but even if you don't want to and just want to write (relatively) uncomplicated Jesus/Judas, that's totally okay too! Really that's my only real request: Jesus/Judas set in this production's 'verse. How did they get here? What do they believe? When did their ideas start to diverge? It can be a fluffy pre-canon oneshot, a post-canon meetup in Heaven, or a "what they were thinking" scene set during the show; I'm not picky. I just find this relationship fascinating, and I'd love to read more about it. | letter |
| vewithanapple | Hexslinger Series - Gemma Files | Fun fact: if I had had the slots, I would have nominated basically EVERY character from this series, but alas, there were only four, so I had to be selective. My first two picks were Yiska and Songbird, who I love with a love that is more than love. GOD DAMN THEY'RE CUTE. There's a massive Mayan apocalypse going on and meanwhile there's this tiny little queer lady romcom happening in the background. (Yancey quietly scribbles "omg otp" on the nearest handy rock.) So yeah, anything with these two- quiet scenes between them while Tree of Bones was going on, post-canon fics about their lives together in Hex City- anything like that. My second choice was Chess and Rook because come on, how could I NOT? Pre-canon fic about their maurading through the West; post-canon fic about them meeting up (because the devil always lies); basically their weird twisted manipulative world-destroying romance and how it tore them both into pieces and rebuilt them all at once. (Also on the table- though obviously not mandatory, since the characters arne't nominated- Chess/Ed/Yancey. /His priest and priestess/. COME ON.) |
letter | |
| vewithanapple | Stigmata (1999) | Frankie Paige, Andrew Kiernan | Oh, terrible '90s horror movies. What would my fannish life be without you? (A lot more respectable, probably.) But yeah, basically anything post-canon about Frankie and Andrew's lives together. Where do they go? What do they do? How much bed-breaking sex do they have? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW. Also, here's my tumblr tag for the movie: http://hedgehogjesus.co.vu/tagged/stigmata so you can get a sense of my- er- priorities. (You can also read my fic for it if you want, but I want to stress that it is IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM MANDATORY.) | letter |
| EvilFuzzyDoom | Kerbal Space Program | Jebediah Kerman, Bob Kerman, Bill Kerman, Player (Kerbal Space Program) | What is the Player? How do they manifest to our brave heroes? Are they an in-world evil/incompetent overlord, or just a mysterious force driving the will of the Kerman brothers? Alternatively, how do the Kermans feel about their adventures and potentially untimely demises? Where do the little fellows come from? What is their off-screen life like? |
letter |
| EvilFuzzyDoom | The Third Man (1949) | Harry Lime | Looking for a prequel adventure here. If you've got the DVD, you should be able to listen to the "Ticket to Tangiers" radioplay which is on there. Something like that, perhaps. Other than Lime himself, I don't mind who goes in there. The world of a post-war (or even wartime) smuggler and trickster is an interesting one which deserves some looking into. | letter |
| EvilFuzzyDoom | Love Actually (2003) | David (Love Actually), Rufus (Love Actually) | As a politics afficionado, this movie left me wondering one important thing: How is Hugh Grant's David Prime Minister? From all signs he's a bit of a wet blanket. Coupled with my sneaking suspicion that Rowan Atkinson's Rufus character is actually some kind of Christmas angel, I've always enjoyed the notion that there's a more sinister side to the world of Love Actually than there appears. So, either political machinations or Heaven/Hell war AU. Take your pick. I realise that I am strange! Sorry if you were expecting anything at all like the actual film... |

| xclamations | Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) | Snow White (Snow White and the Huntsman), Ravenna (Snow White and the Huntsman) | Creepy Ravenna/Snow is what I'm hoping for. Non-con and/or dub-con are great, but not required if that's not your thing. | |
| xclamations | Bourne Legacy (2012) | Aaron Cross | I love Aaron/Marta, and the idea of Aaron/Jason Bourne is interesting to me. "I've got a long way to fall," is my favorite quote in the movie. Do with that what you will. | |
| xclamations | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | I watched this movie on a very long airplane ride across the Pacific and laughed my ass off. So whatever you write, don't take it too seriously. | |
| xclamations | Fast and the Furious Series | Letty Ortiz | They gave her amnesia! It was a total plot cop out by the writers, but whatever it's one of my favorite tropes. | |
| xecutrix | Continuum (TV) | Matthew Kellog, Sonya Valentine, Ann Sadler Randol, Julian Randol | With that line-up, you can see I'm interested in Liber8 and their satellites. | letter |
| xecutrix | Dollhouse | Topher Brink, Adelle DeWitt, Laurence Dominic, Claire Saunders | Preferably a case-file style fic, and preferably a little less depressing than the Epitaphs, but I'd love to see backstory and character studies on any of these. | letter |
| xecutrix | Orphan Black (TV) | Paul Dierden, Beth Childs, Felix Dawkins, Cosima Niehaus | Anything about Felix in The Felix Show would be great! But if you want to ring in the others, then I'd love to know more about Beth, and what she saw in Paul, and what Paul's role is in the Big Picture. | letter |
| xecutrix | Revenge (TV) | Nolan Ross, Amanda Clarke, Tyler Barrol, Conrad Grayson | I miss Fauxmanda! So bringing her "back to life" for Yuletide would be lovely. And after Tyler's exit I realized I missed the little weasel. But, speaking of weasels, I love Conrad's never-ending ability to recover from disaster. But as far as I'm concerned, it's Nolan's Hamptons, the others just get to live in it. So anything Rossistical will make me happy. |
letter |
| xecutrix | Bomb Girls | Betty McRae, Lorna Corbett, Kate Andrews, Gladys Witham | As explained in my letter, I mostly want fix-its, but it's a great show for detailed historical world-building. And they're terrific friends, so a friendship fic would be excellent. Or a Happily Ever After for Betty. | letter |
| xecutrix | Much Ado About Nothing (2012) | Don Pedro (Much Ado About Nothing 2012), Claudio (Much Ado About Nothing 2012), Benedick (Much Ado About Nothing 2012), Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing 2012) | Isn't Claudio AWFUL? How did he GET that way? And does Hero dissolve him in a plastic tub of acid? | letter |

| Extra | Millennium Actress (2001) | Ida Kyōji, Tachibana Genya, Fujiwara Chiyoko | A fic that explores Kyoji's admiration towards Genya and draws parallels between the Kyoji-Genya relationship and the Genya-Chiyoko relationship would be superb. The Kyoji-Genya relationship may have romantic aspects or it may be kept ambiguous/platonic, to the tastes of the writer. OR a fic about Kyoji and Genya first meeting OR a fic about Chiyoko's life alone after she retired. | |
| Extra | みつどもえ | Mitsudomoe (anime) | Matsuoka Sakiko Marui Mitsuba Sugisaki Miku Marui Hitoha | Matsuoka and Sugisaki are in love with Hitoha and Mitsuba, respectively. Any scenario may follow, but would prefer something 1) when they are in high school or older, 2) that contains copious amounts of angst, and 3) that involves a classic Sugisaki scheme. Another theme you may be interested in is Matsuoka's disillusionment with her occult hobby as she grows older. | |
| Extra | Lord of the Flies - William Golding | Jack Merridew, Simon (Lord of the Flies) | Would like dubcon Jack/Simon, if at all possible, preferably after they return to England; Jack and Simon may be the only two of the boys who ended up going to the same school, but whatever the case, Jack often sees Simon and develops a bit of an obsession stemming from his lingering regrets over what happened on the island, or something to that effect. | |
| Extra | Orange is the New Black | Nicky Nichols, Lorna Morello | Lorna's lipsticks keep going missing AND/OR Nicky and Lorna meet as teenagers on summer vacation AND/OR Lorna gets sick after their 'break-up', Nicky denies that she cares but somehow ends up going to the ends of the earth to get Lorna some goddamn chicken noodle soup. | |
| ExtraPenguin | Honor Harrington Series - David Weber | Thomas Theisman, Warner Caslet | (Surprise me! I like surprises.) (Feel free to write about just one character — you are by no means required to use both of them! Or, just any Havenite character. I love them all.) For Thomas Theisman: His meditations on politics, domestic or foreign. Thomas Theisman/Denis LePic slash. What Theisman really thought about shooting Saint-Just. Earlier in the timeline, how about his relationship with Alfredo Yu? What did he think of his mentor defecting? For Warner Caslet: Migrant angst! What problems did he face, moving into Grayson service? Perhaps Alfredo Yu briefing a newly defected Caslet on "this is what's great; this is what will suck but will get better; this is what will suck and stay sucky until the last syllable of recorded time”? Both: Theisman meeting Caslet after the end of the second war and getting all chatty. Theisman & Caslet during the time Cordelia Ransom's at Barnett. |
letter |
| ExtraPenguin | Old Man's War series - John Scalzi | (Surprise me! I like surprises.) Futurefic would be very much appreciated here! How is humanity going to move forwards? What's the Colonial Administration going to do? Politics! Or, if you want to tackle something less mind-blowing, Zoë's reactions to her new baby sister. Alternatively, some mean battle scenes set during Old Man's War. Or, something involving exobiology. |
letter | |
| ExtraPenguin | Robot Series - Isaac Asimov | (Surprise me! I like surprises.) Anything goes, from Susan Calvin solving everyone's problems to Elijah Baley and Daneel Olivaw investigating some crime. (Bonus points if you include Giskard Reventlov.) Highly appreciated: Three Laws of Robotics rules lawyering, discussions of ethics, what makes a human human, etc. |
letter | |
| ExtraPenguin | Hamlet - Shakespeare | Laertes (Hamlet), Ophelia (Hamlet - Shakespeare) | (Surprise me! I like surprises.) The siblings' relationship with each other: what did Laertes think of Ophelia and her association with Hamlet? What did Ophelia think of Laertes? What were their relationships with their mother? Alternatively, write me a partial or complete genderswap of the play — exploration of gendered assumptions FTW! |

| Fabrisse | Peale Family RPF | Rubens Peale, Rembrandt Peale, Charles Willson Peale, Titian Peale | Please see Rembrandt Peele's portrait of Rubens Peele with geranium -- (rating through Mature, please see the hard line squick mentioned below) I look at this painting and see brothers who love each other (not in the Petrelli or Winchester sense. That's a hard squick for me with this pairing.). Rubens is about 17 in the painting; the painter, Rembrandt is older by about 6 years. The geranium may be the first one grown from seed in the nascent United States. Honestly, I don't care if the story is from the geranium's point of view or if it's Rubens thoughts as he sits -- he was described as the family model since he didn't learn to paint until he was in his 40s -- or Rembrandt's point of view. He was already a famous portraitist. He'd painted George Washington when he was only 16 and Washington was late in his presidency, so this isn't an advertisement of his abilities. If you throw in their father or their other siblings, that would be fine, too. I just want a story focused on a painting I love and the fraternal relationship it portrays. |
letter |
| Fabrisse | Now You See Me (2013) | Henley Reeves, Jack Wilder, J. Daniel Atlas, Merritt McKinney | I'm a huge fan of the dynamics for The Four Horsemen and wish we'd seen more in the movie. How did the Four Horsemen go from 4 separate "acts” to the kind of big act we see them doing in Las Vegas, New Orleans, and 5 Pointz? Planning details, rehearsals, deciphering the schematics, learning to work together, personality clashes (or surprises where they don't clash), learning each others techniques(?), etc. (Lots more at my LJ) | letter |
| Fabrisse | Hellspark - Janet Kagan | Tocohl Susumo, Om im Chadeayne, Maggy | Margaret Lord Lynn | I want a post-book story about Tocohl as a Byworld Judge. If Om im has already joined her as a judge's aide, all the better. If it involves Buntec, Edge-of-Dark, Tinling Alfvaen, or even "Old Rattlebrain," that's all to the good. I loved the festival of Saint Veshke -- and it's implied that there's always a need for Byworld Judges there -- but I could also see another story set on Flashfever dealing with the sprookjes and their off-world trading. | letter |
| Fabrisse | Beauty and the Beast (TV 1987) | Elliot Burch (Beauty and the Beast (TV 1987)), Vincent (Beauty and the Beast (TV 1987)), Catherine Chandler (Beauty and the Beast (TV 1987)) | Elliott Burch. I'd love something about his relationship with Vincent after Catherine's death, but I'd also love anything that deals with how Catherine changed him. It's a profound change, and it's shown over the three seasons. I love this character. An interaction between Burch and the World Below would be especially pleasing. | letter |
| Fabrisse | Mr. Calder & Mr. Behrens - Michael Gilbert | Mr. Calder, Mr. Behrens, Mr. Fortescue, Rasselas (Mr. Calder & Mr. Behrens) | I want another of their adventures, with or without Rasselas. My favorite of all the stories is "The Decline and Fall of Mr. Behrens" with it's line "Few people fight dirtier than an aroused establishment" and his fighting very dirty indeed when he's angry. I love Rasselas. I like Mr. Fortescue. The Dilly Club would be a nice inclusion. There's something so comforting about their brand of British ruthlessness. | letter |
| fadeaccompli | In Nomine | Marc (In Nomine) | I've never been fond of low contrast or grimdark in the setting, though it doesn't all have to be squeaky clean brightness either. But I'd love to see more about how Marc handles the Mercurian drive to be connected when he's an Archangel, and thus at a significant power differential from everyone else in Trade. | |
| fadeaccompli | Rome | Octavia of the Julii | ||
| fadeaccompli | Iskryne Series - Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette | Isolfr | ||
| fadeaccompli | The Fairyland Series - Catherynne M. Valente | I love all the characters, and I'd be happy to read about any of them. But it'd be especially fun to get more prequel stories. Fairyland's been through a lot of rulers, and some of the characters that show up in the main books have clearly been around for a while and seen all sorts come through. | ||

| Fahye | The Lady's Not For Burning - Christopher Fry | Jennet Jourdemayne, Thomas Mendip | I'm trying to think of an elegant way to say, AND NOW MAKE THEM KISS. Uh. The best things about this play are the way it weaves humour so seamlessly into pathos and poetry, and the way it builds a love story out of the warm, desperate, flickering exchange of words. Jennet and Thomas! Backstory, future story -- whatever you want to write, I'll love it. Especially if there's kissing. | |
| Fahye | The Brothers Bloom (2008) | Bloom (Brothers Bloom), Penelope Stamp | PENELOPE. I love her, Bloom loves her, we all love her. I'd like a glimpse at what happens after the movie, incorporating as many of Penelope's ridiculous hobbies as you care to mention. How long does Bloom manage to hold out against her thirst for hijinks and adventure narratives? (My suspicion: not long at all.) | |
| Fahye | Howl Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Charmain Baker | Charmain's personal growth in House of Many Ways was wonderful to read about, and now I want more of her interactions with the other characters of the Howl series; feel free to focus closely on Charmain or to draw in as many of the others as you want. I'd particularly like to see a mentoring relationship with Sophie and/or Lettie develop. | |
| Fahye | Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) | William Brandt, Jane Carter (Mission: Impossible), Benji Dunn (Ghost Protocol) | This movie was so, so good for the part of me that adores dysfunctional teams and utterly ridiculous action-movie stunts. Feel free to write their next mission, improbable high-tech gadgets and all, or to go completely AU. (Regency? Heist? Space pirates? Superheroes? WHATEVER.) | |

| FaustianAspirant | Havemercy Series - Jaida Jones & Danielle Bennett | Rook (Havemercy), Thom (Havemercy) | o... I just really want a fic where Rook and Thom have to return to Thremedon? Maybe it's because they've caught wind of the dragons somehow; maybe it's just on a whim. Either way, what I'd really like with these two is role reversal. We've seen Thom thoroughly out of his depth before — in fact, I don't think we've ever really seen him in a situation where he feels completely comfortable! Give me a scenario where it's Rook who feels out of place, and Thom who has the expertise. I don't care what — but if it involves Thom having to teach Rook something, that'd be even better. Alternatively — aside from the hilarious roleplay scene, we never really got to see any of the lessons Thom devised for the airmen. Remedy this. Make it as funny as you can. If post-canon's more your style, then why not have a fic where, for some reason, Thom has to come back and school what remains of the old Dragon Corps in the ways of etiquette once more? (Or, hell, maybe he's back to give some guidance to Laure, Toverre, Balfour and Troius.) Either way, Rook can tag along and be splendidly derisive. I'm definitely not averse to Rook/Thom - indeed, if given the choice, I'd really love it if there was some romance between them. However, if incest squicks you, that's understandable. . |

| FaustianAspirant | Tokyo Babylon | Sumeragi Subaru, Sakurazuka Seishirou, Sumeragi Hokuto | I'm open to most things with these characters; I love them so much, pretty much any plot or setting will do. I'd prefer it if there were no explicit sex scenes, though - smut has its place, but so much of the strength of Seishirou and Subaru's story comes from unrealised desire, so it'd be a shame to waste that. Also please, no noncon. If you must, dubcon is okay, but noncon is very much squick for me. One possible idea for a plot: something happens to make Seishirou realise he's lost the Bet at the end of the year. How does he deal with it? Does he still reveal to Subaru who he is? How does Hokuto react to all this — or, by now, has she already guessed? Another possibility, and a plotbunny I've held onto for ages: post-series Subaru, aimlessly searching for Seishirou around Tokyo, encounters one of the people he'd helped in the past. What would the gaijin girl think of Hokuto's 'disappearance', and how can he tell her the truth? Would Hashimoto admire him quite so much now that he's no longer the font of optimism and light that he was previously? By all means, have Seishirou show up as well. |

| FaustianAspirant | No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | Nezumi (No. 6), Shion (No. 6) | ome kind of reunion fic between Nezumi and Shion would be really nice. Maybe it's been years since they've seen each other; maybe it's been only half an hour since Nezumi's departure, and he's experienced an abrupt change of heart. If possible, just give me something hopelessly romantic for these two. Nezumi acting/reciting Shakespeare is always a bonus. Shion reading Shakespeare in Nezumi's absence is also good. Or any other books, really. By all means take this fic as an excuse to unleash your inner literature nerd, if you happen to be a literature nerd: anything goes, reference-wise. (But please, dear lord, let nobody read or reference Alice in Wonderland; that's a cliché I can't stand.) I'll be honest — I'd prefer this to be anime continuity, as I've never read the light novels or the manga. The latter, however, I plan on reading by the time the deadline swings around anyway, so if you're desperate to write in manga continuity (I don't know how drastically they differ), then by all means go ahead. |
|
| FaustianAspirant | Arcadia - Stoppard | Thomasina Coverly, Septimus Hodge | I am completely open to anything on this one. My only preference is that there be banter, and plenty of it. Maybe some kind of 'missing scene' around the events of canon? Preferably, I'd like some further exploration of the themes dealt with in canon. Centre the conversation around maths, poetry, life in general - whatever you'd like. Gratuitous referencing of Byron is always encouraged. Or hell - maybe the entire conversation is happening entirely in Septimus' head, following Thomasina's death. Maybe he dreams about her: fragments of memory interspersed around imaginary conversations they never got to have. If you're setting this after Thomasina's death, that's fine, but I'd still like there to be decent amounts of Thomasina in the fic itself. Septimus!introspection is all very well, but I'd like it to be grounded in, say, his memories of her - if only as a chance to try your hand at some Stoppardian dialogue. Basically, whatever you write, I'd like this to be original flavour, if possible - and more about character interaction than individual introspection. |
|
| FaustianAspirant | 16th Century CE RPF | William Shakespeare (16th Century CE RPF), Christopher Marlowe (16th Century CE RPF) | Give me well-written, well-researched, academically implausible Shakespeare/Marlowe, and I will love you forever. If that squicks you, then just give me well-written, well-researched, slightly more academically plausible Gen fic. Elizabethan London seems the place for all variety of ridiculous and entertaining adventures. Feel free to sling in as many other 16th century poets and playwrights as you'd like: Greene or Nashe would be fun to hear from. Otherwise, definitely feel free to add as much discussion of their work as you'd like; the more wordy and self-indulgent, the better. |

| fawatson | Stalky and Co - Rudyard Kipling | Any characters are fine. There's a female at the Coll (and it isn't Matron)! The role of this female is your choice: perhaps a female teacher — perhaps female students? And, for once, Study No 5 is divided. If that doesn't appeal please just write anything true to canon, for example: Stalky getting back at King in some way; breaking bounds and getting away with it; etc. |
letter | |
| fawatson | The Sandbaggers | Any characters are fine. Gen preferred — a nice twisty plot that shows Machiavellian machinations with a surprise ending please. Possible ideas: Jeff Ross comes into his own; or Wellingham teams up with Willie to manipulate Neil; or Marianne organises an op despite Neil's opposition. |
letter | |
| fawatson | The King Must Die Series - Mary Renault | Any characters are fine Ideas include: (1) Something about the trust between Theseus and the rest of the Cranes during their time with the Cranes; (2) a story that showcases Hippolyta as more than just an adjunct to Theseus; (3) How did Aithra feel as a representative of the Goddess when she realised she had born a son who would overturn the pre-eminence of Goddess-worship? |
letter | |
| fawatson | The Praise Singer - Mary Renault | Any characters are fine. Bacchylides, Aiskhylos, and/or Anakreon teach Simonides a thing or two, whether about politics, women or music. |
letter | |
| fawatson | The Mask of Apollo - Mary Renault | Any characters are fine. Something set after the book about Thettalos' work as a spy for Alexander the Great, preferably including some theatre scenes. Or (during the period of the book) letters back and forth between them when they are apart which give their personal non-political take on the great events of the period, and then how they are when they get back together, maybe after one has had a less than fortunate affair and needs a bit of comforting from the friend he knows will accept him and all his foibles. If you can work in Plato in some way (perhaps giving advice which is more philosophical and less than practical) so much the better but Plato is really an optional character. Gen preferred or sex alluded to rather than explicitly described, although I don't mind the odd well-written slash story. |
letter | |
| fawatson | The Last of the Wine - Mary Renault | Any characters are fine. I really would like something that explores Phaedo; but having said that, if he is not the character that grabs your attention, that is OK as I would be really pleased with anything set in this universe. Some ideas: Anything which sheds a bit more light on Phaedo's character. For example: how did he manage during the siege of Athens? Alternatively: explore the relationship Phaedo has with Sokrates. Or: what is Phaedo's relationship with one or more of Sokrates' other disciples (e.g. Plato or Xenophon) or other characters (e.g. Alexias, Lysis, Kritias)? Or: (post-book) how did Phaedo react to Sokrates' death? Ideas for non-Phaedo stories: Lysis and Thalia — what was their relationship like? Tell us something from Arete's point of view. Myron as a young man, friend to Alkibiades — what broke that friendship? |

| FaxModem1 | Riddick (2013) | Luna (Riddick 2013), Dahl (Riddick 2013), Boss Johns (Riddick 2013) | The surviving mercenaries from Riddick Rule the Dark(also known as Riddick 2013), and their adventures together in the Riddick-verse. Potential slash between Boss Johns and Luna, but not required. | |
| FaxModem1 | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Roy Harper (Arrow TV) | Just a showing of all the training and grueling that Roy goes through under Oliver's tutelage. | |
| FaxModem1 | The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton | Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade | slash | |
| FaxModem1 | Kings | David Shepherd, Jack Benjamin | Like the biblical David and Johnathan, how did these two get together? | |
| fearlessfan | למלא את החלל | Fill the Void (2012) | Shira Mendelman, Yochay Goldberg, Esther Goldberg | I loved this movie so much that any story focusing on these characters will make me happy, but I'm particularly interested in Shira and her relationships with Yochay and Esther. A story exploring either of those dynamics would be wonderful to me - what were Esther and Shira like growing up as sisters? How does Esther linger in Shira's memory as she raises her son? How are Yochay and Shira doing a year or two (or more) after the movie? I would prefer something on the hopeful side. | letter |
| fearlessfan | Remember WENN | Scott Sherwood, Betty Roberts | I loved the energy between Betty and Scott on the show, and I would love a story featuring that. Even something as simple as the two of them eating lunch together at the station, or Scott forcing Betty to go out to dinner with him as a way of securing a sponsor for the station - anything! I so loved this show, and these two characters in particular. | letter |
| fearlessfan | North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV | John Thornton, Margaret Hale | I loved this miniseries so much that when I was working a super stressful job a few years ago, I would watch five minutes from it every morning before leaving in the morning to put myself in a good mood. I'd be happy with a missing moment during the mini series, or a glimpse of what came after, all I really care is that it's true to the characters and the spirit of the miniseries. | letter |
| fearlessfan | The Way Way Back (2013) | Duncan (The Way Way Back), Susanna (The Way Way Back), Owen (The Way Way Back) | I would love to see something about Duncan running into either of these characters again later, to see how life has shaped them after the movie. I don't need a perfect ending, but something in keeping with the movie - unexpected connections and how they can save a person - would be lovely. | letter |

| fenellaevangela | Alien Nation | My favourite thing about the show is the development of Newcomer culture, and I'd love more of it. Maybe expand on something we learned about on the show? Or maybe Matt and Cathy experience some culture shock in their relationship? | letter | |
| fenellaevangela | Gil's All Fright Diner - A. Lee Martinez | The Continuing Adventures of a Ghost, a Werewolf, and a Vampire As They Roadtrip Across America. Or The Previous Adventures of a Werewolf and a Vampire As They Roadtrip Across America. Or give me all the Hector fic, really. What's it like to be a "metaphysical scholar" and does he have a vast network of people calling him for help? I see him as the Bobby of Gil's All Fright Diner, if you'll excuse the Supernatural analogy. | letter | |
| fenellaevangela | Cryptozoology RPF | When I was a kid I wanted to be a cryptozoologist. Talk about adventure! I'd really like a story about one or more cryptozoologists out in the field, maybe coming across a cryptid? I'd love to see Jimmy Stewart included if you could, since he proved himself willing to get roped into cryptozoological intrigue - maybe a story where he was an actor by day, cryptozoologist by night? | letter | |

How is she effected by the events of the season finale? If you're interested in writing sexytimes, I love Gaia/Anders like burning, but Gaia/OCs (gender up to you!) while she's travelling would also be hot. | letter |

Any backstory or post-war story for the characters in the tag set would be awesome, or stories of leavetime--I'd really like to see what Sgt. Scream gets up to when he's not in the battlefield.

| fictionalforce | Breaking Bad | Marie Schrader, Jesse Pinkman | I would really love to see a neo-Nazi slaying Marie go on a rampage and save Jesse Pinkman from the compound and then they go off on a vigilante hunt across America to kill druglords, neo-Nazis, and other such villains. They can be paired up, but I'd prefer there to be some kind of believable build if that occurs. Can be slightly cracky. Barring that, Jesse Pinkman needs the most epic of hugs. And Marie needs to bury Hank. :'( But whatever you feel like writing for either or both of these two, I'm sure I'll enjoy it! |

| fictorium | The Good Wife (TV) | Alicia Florrick, Kalinda Sharma | Femslash, friendship repair, Alicia and Kalinda screwing Cary over and starting their own smaller firm... I really will read just about anything with these two together. | letter |
| fictorium | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | Gimme Melinda backstory, or Melinda taking over Skye's mentoring.

| fictorium | Borgen (TV) | Birgitte Nyborg Christensen, Katrine Fønsmark | I've seen through s3, so get as spoilery as you like. Whether these two are overthrowing the government or getting honest over some beers, I just love everything about both and would love to read anything written about them. | letter |
| fictorium | BOSS (TV) | A look back at earlier, happier times when it was easier to fake it? Did they ever really love each other? An AU where Meredith is the Mayor of Chicago and Tom is the behind-the-scenes fixer who often undermines her. What if they'd had a son? What if Meredith tried to have him killed, for reasons other than getting votes? Anything and everything, I love the shadiness of the show and the stillness of these characters. |

Maybe a PWP in Ellen's new office (exposed brickwork does things to a girl), or some kind of fancy occasion where they're trying to avoid each other. Take it back to s1, if you like... wide-eyed Ellen finding out just how much loyalty Patty demands. Hate sex before they go their separate ways in s3. But really anything and everything about them. Any gaps in the story you want to fill. |

| FifteenDozenTimes | Make It or Break It | Payson Keeler, Kelly Parker | I just want ANYTHING and everything about these two. Gen about their rivalry pushing them to be better competitors? What if losing that rivalry in becoming a team during S3 is the reason Kelly was no longer competing at her old level? Ooh, or hot dirty locker room hatesex? Taunting each other as foreplay? Or or or adorable domestic futurefic! Rock coach Payson and socialite Kelly and their nice suburban home always full of bb gymnasts? Payson helping Kelly deal with her mom issues? ANYTHING. | letter |
| FifteenDozenTimes | Empires | Max Steger Ryan Luciani | The Empires fic of my soul revolves around pining douchebag Ryan and oblivious Max. I'd especially love something about how that dynamic led to Ryan leaving the band - he mistakes Max's obliviousness for rejection, and leaves, or Max tries to shut down the flirting because he thinks Ryan's just trying to get a rise out of him, and Ryan leaves, or they bang and there's awkwardness and feelings and rather than dealing with it Ryan leaves. IDK, pining and feelings and awkwardness and running away and then fixing it???? | letter |
| FifteenDozenTimes | Happy Endings (TV) | The thing I love most about this show is the ensemble, but my second favorite is the way episodes tend to separate the ensemble into smaller groups and look at the ways everyone influences each other and what characteristics tend to come out aroud which set of people. That said, I will be happy with pretty much anything tonally similar to the show. Brad and Jane are my favorite tv couple EVER, and Max and Alex are my favorite characters EVER (I know Max isn't in the official tag set, so no pressure to write him!), but really, I miss this show so much I will be happy with absolutely anything. | letter | |
| FifteenDozenTimes | Mad Men | Pete Campbell, Bob Benson, Peggy Olson | Pete/Peggy is the OTP of my soul, but I kind of mean it in a broader sense than usual? Like, I am into any variety of setting them off as a pair - romantically, friends, antagonistic allies, enemies, etc. And I love about Bob that he offers Pete explicitly something Pete both needs and thinks he deserves - someone to fix all his problems and adore him - in a package Pete can't accept, at least not right away. I'm getting pretty tired of the way Pete's in constant downward spirals, I've mostly given up hope that the show will let him actually hit bottom so he can start climbing back up, but I'd kind of like to see things go right for him in fic at least. But if you don't want to write Pete, or at least not in a positive light, I'd be happy with Peggy and Bob: Best Bros fic, too! | letter |
| FifteenDozenTimes | Beauty and the Beast (TV 2012) | Tess Vargas, Heather Chandler (BatB) | This is probably one of my sillier wants? I'm only really watching the show because of the actress who plays Heather, so I pay more attention to her than I think the show really expects me to, and I am so into the idea of Cat's sister and BFF hooking up (even just becoming friends!) while Cat's all wrapped up in her Vincent thing. I just want all the fic where they start hanging out because of Cat and become super tight friends and spend all their time worrying/venting about Cat or teaming up to super-sleuth and figure out what Cat's deal is (it's been a while since I watched so I can't remember if either of them know about Vincent by now? But w/e) or kissing and having feelings because they are both great and hot and kissable and stuff. IDK IDK I spent the whole season going "so pretty! they should be pretty TOGETHER" so my ideas are not the most super specific. | letter |
| FifteenDozenTimes | Pop Music RPF | Nicki Minaj | Oh gosh I hope if this is what we matched on you are one of those authors who enjoys having a lot of freedom and not much in the way of prompts because I keep trying to come up with specifics and landing on "I LOVE HER SO MUCH, GIMME FIC." I will really genuinely appreciate any Nicki fic at all. I'd love something in any of her video universes (or other video universes, like Turn Me On or the one with Madonna and MIA [feel 10000% free to ship her with either of them! Or pretty much anyone she's collaborated with except please no Chris Brown]), particularly Fly because I'm partial to post-apocalyptic-esque worlds (and also Rihanna). IDK, I want anything anything Nicki-centric! | letter |
| fiftyzillion | The Little Mermaid (TV 1992) | Ariel (The Little Mermaid), The Evil Manta | Even as a kid I really liked the Evil Manta when he showed up in the series. I found him interesting, not scary, and really wanted for him to act on the hints that he was softening towards Ariel. Back then, I wanted them to be friends. Now, I sort of want them to fall for each other. :) Either one would make me terribly happy though. | |
| fiftyzillion | Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan | Nynaeve al'Meara, Lan Mandragoran | Nynaeve is one of my most favorite female characters ever and, if I'm to be honest, the one reason I kept up with the books at all. I love her story line, I love her romance with Lan and I love the way she's both abrasive and a sweetheart (in her own way). I'd love any fic centered around her really, but what I want the most is a fic about her and Lan's relationship. Maybe how Lan fell for her, an UST-y scene from their early acquiantance, their first time, in the aftermath of the books, an AU where he became her warder earlier - anything! I just adore her and them as a couple. | |
| fiftyzillion | 인생은 아름다워 | Life is Beautiful (TV 2010) | Kyung Soo and Tae Sub was my great obsessions in this drama even if I liked all of the characters (Chorong and her inept romancing! Grandma! Uncle and his unconventional heiress!). I'd love anything about them - their first time, a wedding ceremony, Tae Sub getting to know Kyung Soo's daughter - but I think what I would like the most is a fic about their first meeting. The scene where Kyung Soo teases Tae Sub about it, saying how aware Tae Sub had been about everything about Kyung Soo, really stuck with me. I'd love to see it written out! | ||
| fiftyzillion | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Jane Drew | Jane is plain awesome and one of my favorite heroines. I love her in Greenwitch, was on the edge of my seat for all her scenes and sort of just adore her in general. I would love some future fic with her - or maybe a past!fic? It would be great if she remembered - if not their adventures, then maybe a far-off past? That might be interesting really, her remembering a life as, say, Guinevere, before remembering their adventures in Wales. Should give Will some nights of disturbed sleep... I ship her a lot with Bran & Will, separately and together, so that would be awesome too! | |
| fiftyzillion | Mercy Thompson Series - Patricia Briggs | Bran Cornick (Mercy Thompson), Mercy Thompson, Ben (Mercy Thompson), Leah Cornick (Mercy Thompson) | I love all of these characters in any combination and wouldn't really mind shipping them either - in any combination! Ben and his unwilling adoration of Mercy, Bran and his unwillingness to risk falling in love again, Leah and her vulnerable moments she tries to avoid, Mercy in general. I think that I would love Bran/Leah HEA/HFN, Ben/Mercy bonding or Bran/Mercy father-daughter stuff the most, but really, anything! Write Bran/Ben if you want to, maybe Leah/Mercy - heck, maybe Mercy could be the jam in a Bran/Leah/Mercy sandwich! Anyway, the only thing I don't want is bashing of any characters - especially Leah! As you might've gathered, I'm really fond of her. :) As I know that a lot of people dislike her, I want to point to her emotional reaction to Anna before she manages to cut herself off and her sleeping in Bran's bed when he's away as starting points if you want to see her my way. |
|
| fiftyzillion | Vampire Academy Series - Richelle Mead | Rose Hathaway | I'm re-reading the series at the moment in preparation for the movie and am really enjoying it! I thought I'd ask for some related fic this year to enjoy too. I love Rose as a character - she's very flawed but also very strong. What I want to ask for is fic centered around her and her relationships. Pick one of the below, pick many! Do as you want. Rose & her father: I'd love some bonding here, like, really. Or maybe a what-if story where they met earlier. Or something from his PoV. Rose & Adrian: I'd be really interested in a story where Dimitri really is dead and she ends up giving him a chance. I think they'd be really fun together! Rose & her mother: They really can't get along but I nevertheless love the moments when they do. Maybe they get to fight strigoi together? Rose & Lissa & Christian: I actually wouldn't mind a hot threesome PWP with these three. At all. Or Rose & Christian working out their enmity in some way. Or the three of them talking and bantering somewhere. Heck, Lissa inviting Rose into her head when she's having it on with Christian might be really interesting. Rose & Dimitri: These two sizzled a lot in the early books and I really wouldn't mind revisiting that. Or maybe you want to write an AU? |

| figuline | Batwoman (Comic) | Kate Kane (Batwoman), Maggie Sawyer (Batwoman) | Kate-centric casefic would be so amazing. Her relationship with Batman would also be interesting. The intricacies of the superhero/secret identity within her relationship with Maggie? I'd love to see something with her romancing Maggie as both Kate and Batwoman separately. | |
| FiKate | Changeling: the Dreaming | Pooka (Changeling: The Dreaming), Troll (Changeling: The Dreaming), Sidhe (Changeling: The Dreaming), Satyr (Changeling: The Dreaming) | Oh my, I didn't even realize this was an option. I loved playing this game and adore the points where the weird and the real meet and intersect. I would prefer if a story that's fairly light, my favorite parts of this game were when characters were challenged by the mundane and the weird and how Changelings are victims and can manipulate perception. I'm a fan of the shared world of the World of the Darkness but would prefer if the story was on the lighter end. | letter |
| FiKate | Tommy and Tuppence - Agatha Christie | Tuppence Beresford, Tommy Beresford, Carter (Tommy and Tuppence), Albert (Tommy and Tuppence) | Tommy and Tuppence figuring out each other either with a mystery or without. Case stories are great, but I also love their relationship and how Carter and Albert and others look on them. | letter |
| FiKate | Inspector Alleyn Mysteries - Ngaio Marsh | Roderick Alleyn, Agatha Troy (Marsh), Sergeant Fox | Troy and Alleyn have one of my favorite romances in books because of how they came slowly to find each other and how they respect and understand the other's choices. I would love anything with them being themselves, dipping into the other's lives, whatever form that might take. Fox is a favorite supporting character of mine and however he appears would be great. | letter |
| FiKate | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke | The Raven King, Stephen Black, Arabella Strange, John Childermass | I want to know what happens next to these characters who have been in both worlds. I love Arabella's sensible nature and how would she heal from her experience. How is Childermass changed and how is Stephen altered by living in the other world. I love how the book mixes magic and the mundane and its style between fairy tale and history. More of them being themselves in the world, please. | letter |
| FiKate | Old Kingdom - Garth Nix | Prince Sameth, Sabriel (Old Kingdom), Touchstone (Old Kingdom), Ellimere (Old Kingdom) | I love this mixed up family that I never felt really had enough time in the books. I would love to see post-canon as they talk and try to understand all that's changed or pre-canon, some moments of family whatever form that takes. Sameth is my favorite character for how oddly he fits in the world and I'd love to see how that plays out within the family. | letter |
| FiKate | Nero Wolfe - Rex Stout | Archie Goodwin, Nero Wolfe, Lily Rowan, Saul Panzer | I adore all the relationships that Stout created as well as his clear love of New York, good food and interesting people. Any glimpse into that world would make me happy, but especially ones showing the trust and humor amongst these characters. | letter |
| Filigranka | 14th Century CE RPF | Jadwiga of Poland (14th Century CE RPF), Jogaila of Lithuania (14th Century CE RPF), Vytautas of Lithuania (14th Century CE RPF) | Feel free to choose any (or all) of characters and/or add their historical contemporary. But no 'AU', please. | |
| Filigranka | 16th Century CE RPF | Zygmunt II August (16th Century CE RPF), Zygmunt I the Old (16th Century CE RPF), Bona Sforza (16th Century CE RPF) | Feel free to choose any (or all) of characters and/or add their historical contemporary. But no 'AU', please. | |
| Filigranka | 18th Century CE RPF | Stanisław August Poniatowski (18th Century CE RPF), Nikolai Vasilyevich Repnin (18th Century CE RPF), August Czartoryski (18th Century RPF), Catherine The Great (18th Century CE RPF) | Feel free to choose any (or all) of characters and/or add their historical contemporary. But no 'AU', please. | |
| Filigranka | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | Matoba Seiji, Natori Shuuichi, Natsume Takashi | Feel free to choose any (or all) of characters and/or include a few additional characters, OCs or canonical. I'd strongly prefer gen stories. | |
| Filigranka | Planescape: Torment | The Nameless One, Dak'kon the Pariah | No smut, please. | |
| Filigranka | Cowboy Bebop | Vicious (Cowboy Bebop), Spike Spiegel | I'd like to finally read some gen stories about them, exploring them as friends, not as lovers. | |
| finch (afinch) | The Ear The Eye And The Arm - Nancy Farmer | Rita Matsika | I know the novel is a coming of age story for Tendai, but I'd love an exploration of how powerful a woman Rita really is. "Rita became a prize-winning math student." Really? That's all I get? I want more. She deserves more than a line in the epilogue. If you want to go emotionally complex, I'd love to know how Resthaven affected her after she returned home. |
|
| finch (afinch) | The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman | Old Mrs. Hempstock, Lettie Hempstock, Ginny Hempstock | Talk about a fascinating family! Any worldbuilding on them would be great! | |
| finch (afinch) | The Giver Series - Lois Lowry | Asher (The Giver) | Anything about post-Jonas/Gabriel leaving. Son made me absolutely bawl my eyes out, so if you want to include Claire and how she is affected by Jonas' leaving with Gabriel as well, more power to you, but if not, that is also completely okay! I really like the sharp contrasts drawn between Jonas and Asher - what sort of children they were versus what sort of adults they wound up becoming. How does Asher's jovial attitude help when the memories come back? Or does it? Does he take on a new role in the community? I basically just want an exploration of Asher, any way you feel like giving it! | |
| finch (afinch) | Catherine Called Birdy - Karen Cushman | Catherine | Birdy | My favourite thing about the book was her feast days that she introduced. I'd love any continuation of that. Some of them are downright snarky in their own right! I don't want any romantic focus on Catherine, just something gen and light-hearted! If the feast days aren't your thing, maybe some exploration of her as an adult with her own daughter? I'm not really too picky past wanting gen. | |
| finesharp | New Warriors | Robert Baldwin (New Warriors) | Just give me some fixit for Robbie, please. Ignore Civil War, or make it less stupid, whatever you want. Pairings are welcome and I particularly like him with Doreen but not necessary. Humor is welcomed with open arms. | letter |
| finesharp | Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008) | Amber Sweet, Luigi Largo, Nathan Wallace, Pavi Largo | My OTP is Luigi/Amber, and I also love Luigi/Nathan, but anything with the Largo siblings or flashback fic is great. I know Graverobber is sometimes unavoidable with Amber, but I don't care for him as a character or them as a couple so I'd appreciate if you stayed away from that. | letter |
| finesharp | Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010) | Dave Stutler, Drake Stone, Becky Barnes, Sun-Lok (Sorcerer's Apprentice) | I would love any sort of meditation on the intersection of science and magic in this universe, or fixit that made Sun-Lok a 3D character, or Becky and Dave getting used to magic, together or apart, or Drake in that period where he was learning to get by after Horvath disappeared, or hell, Dave/Drake might be fun. | letter |
| finesharp | Green Hornet (2011) | Kato (Green Hornet), Britt "The Green Hornet" Reid, Lenore Case | I would enjoy backstory fic about Kato, or fic about Kato being awesome in general, or fic about how Lenore is even more awesome than she lets on, or fic about Britt learning to be a grownup in ways that don't involve blowing things up, or Britt/Kato, or Britt/Lenore/Kato... you get the idea. | letter |
| finestdentistry | Push (2009) | Nick Gant, Cassie Holmes | Nick/Cassie at age 13 plz. Please don't age her up! | |
| finestdentistry | Push (2009) RPF | Dakota Fanning (Push RPF), Chris Evans (Push RPF) | Totally ship these two! Anything about their romantic Sunday night phone calls or sexytimes would be awesome. | |
| finestdentistry | Cooking Fast and Fresh with West (YouTube Series) | West Collins | I LOVE WEST COLLINS. You could take me through a fictional episode of the show, give me a slice of life, show me grown up molecular-gastronomist West Collins who makes popcorn-flavored marshmallows. Anything! | |
| finestdentistry | Almost Human | Dorian (Almost Human), John Kennex | Whatever I request is going to be jossed between now and Christmas, so I'll just say, banter! Fun, sexy banter between these two! I definitely ship them, so please head in that direction if it's where your heart takes you. | |
| FireEye | Ultima | Katrina (Ultima) | Katrina has always been one of my favorite Companions. I'd love to see her on an adventure. Or introspective. Or something to do with the Fall of Magincia or what it took for her to survive in the ruins while waiting for the Avatar. (Did she even know she was waiting for an Avatar?) Or something socializing with the Avatar or the other Companions. Or during her time as an Outlaw, or in the Aftermath of Blackthorn's treachery. Or in the Gargoyle War. Or during the rise of the Fellowship, or after the Avatar leaves for the Serpent Isle. Almost anything you could think of. The One Exception: I consider Ultima 9 as having never happened. :P | letter |
| FireEye | Jade Empire | Sagacious Zu | o I kinda love Sagacious Zu, and I would love to see more of him and the protagonist interacting in some meaningful way. He has a great grudging mentor role, so something involving his trying - not even necessarily succeeding, not even necessarily in a serious situation, come to think of it - to give advice or lead with subtle nudges could be fun. Or maybe they have a run-in earlier than Dawn Star's capture, when Two Rivers is still a peaceful place to be. Or they could talk philosophy. Or spar. Or Zu could be watching while waiting. I wouldn't say no if you thought you could write something to come after. Break my heart, you know you want to. | letter |
| FireEye | Zero | Project Zero | Fatal Frame Series | Kirishima Choushirou | Given the nature of the Fatal Frame series and how the spiritual bleeds through even in every day life, even if the characters don't realize it, I'd love to see a Choushirou fic from well before the game or the island incident where he encounters something out of the ordinary, or comes face to face with the spiritual world, even if he doesn't know what he's seeing. Maybe something early on in his days as an investigator. Alternately, I'd love to see him and Sakuya interacting, before or... *ahem* after the ritual. Or, if you have another idea, feel free. | letter |
| FireEye | Parasite Eve | Aya Brea | I'd love to see something of what happened to Aya in between PE1 and PE2. Her powers were sealed and came back, there's gotta be a story there. How investigating the Chrysler Building fit into the overall storyline. Being recruited to the FBI or the early days of MIST. Or something simple having to do with the aftermath of New York. I'm fond of most of the supporting characters of both games if you want to include any. Pairingwise, I have a soft spot for both Wayne/Aya and Pierce/Aya, even if it's only one-sided, and likewise, I am perfectly fine with gen and friendship fic. Heads up: If you find yourself preferring to write something after PE2, keep in mind that I've never played Third Birthday. | letter |
| FireEye | Highlander: The Raven | Amanda Darieux (Highlander: The Raven), Liam Riley (Highlander: The Raven) | I absolutely adore Amanda for being the dastardly, scheming, unrepentant thief that she is. I absolutely adore Liam for being compassionate, empathic, and devout. I kinda ship them like burning, actually, but given Liam's devotions I can understand if you'd rather not. Anything between them - friendship, love, amused-but-frustrated gnashing of teeth over differing ideologies - would be great to see. I wouldn't mind especially Rebecca, or any of the regulars (from either show, for that matter if you wanted to cross with Methos or Joe or Darius or whoever... heck, go Conner if you want) making an appearance if you feel like throwing them in. Considering Liam, something to do with Rebecca's monastery might be neat. Or something to do with one of them nursing the other through the aftermath of a harsh resurrection or a Quickening (or a Dark Quickening. ~ooo~). Drama would be great, but so would fluff. | letter |
| Firerose | Bleak House (TV 2005) | William Guppy (Bleak House 2005) | I'd love for Guppy to get some kind of happy ending. A future fic where he finds someone who can return his affections (perhaps in a crossover with another Victorian novel), an AU where he manages to save Lady Dedlock or solve Tulkinghorn's murder... Make him lucky in love, successful in business affairs, just give him a moment of genuine triumph! I've yet to find time to finish the novel so I'd prefer to stick with tv canon for the plot (and Burn Gorman for the casting), but I love the style of Dickens' novel if you wanted to imitate it. Gen, het or slash equally welcome. | letter |
| Firerose | Power of Three - Diana Wynne Jones | Adara (Power of Three) | I'm interested in Adara's story before the start of the novel's main timeframe: her childhood in Otmound, her history with Hathil, her love story with Gest, her role as the chief's wife in Garholt, how she acquired her lore... There's also the fascinating question of what happens after the end of the novel; I'd love to see Adara helping to develop the relationships between the three races. Or even an AU in which Adara runs away to the Dorig after Orban kills Hathil's brother, and perhaps ends up marrying Hathil. I love world building, and anything on the mythology of the Old/Middle/New Powers etc would be a bonus. Gen or het equally welcome, but I'd rather not receive a story focusing on pregnancy or child-rearing. | letter |
| Firerose | The Silver Branch - Rosemary Sutcliff | Paulinus (Silver Branch) | I'm interested in how this unlikely secret agent came to be heading up the resistance movement, and, probably related, his backstory with Carausius (and possibly Allectus). Or, a Paulinus Lives! AU where there was another way out, and how this impacted on the resistance movement in the rest of the novel. Or, perhaps a ghost story? Gen, het or slash equally welcome. | letter |
| Firerose | Wives and Daughters - Elizabeth Gaskell | Lady Harriet Cumnor | Lady Harriet is such an amazing character, I'd love to see more of her whatever you write! My secret dream is that she takes up a bohemian life in London after her mother's death, possibly with another woman -- an OC or crossover or historical person, I don't picture her with any other canon woman. Other thoughts... Could she take up another person's cause, as she does with Molly? Or a more abstract cause, but prosecuted in her own inimitable fashion. Could she somehow get involved in politics &/or electioneering? Is she interested in her brother's scientific studies? Might she try to reconcile the Cumnors with Squire Hamley? Or even an AU in which she gets together with my second favourite, Roger Hamley, and ends up in Africa! Bookverse, please, though I don't object to casting Rosamund Pike. Gen, het or slash equally welcome, but if you go the femslash route, I'd rather close the bedroom door. | letter |

| Flamebyrd | Juuichinin Iru | They Were Eleven | Tadatos Lane, Frolbericheri | I would love to see Tad and Frol a few years down the line, exploring space and bickering the whole time. Romance or gen are both fine! Note: Frol declares that xie will become a woman for Tad, but... that's a bit heteronormative, no? Which is not to say that I think that xie shouldn't choose to become a woman, just that it shouldn't be so that xie can date Tad. |
letter |
| Flamebyrd | Fortress Series - C. J. Cherryh | Tristen Sihhë | I just love Tristen, the way he is in the world but not really a part of it - or perhaps too much a part of it.

| florahart | The Heat (2013) | Sarah Ashburn, Shannon Mullins | I want buddy cop fic, in which both of them continue to be tough, ass-kicking, maybe not great at certain aspects of social expectations but that's okay. In which there continues not to be any shaming about body things (which, so, shaming and talking about are not the same, and I loved the scene in which Mullins is all wtf about the spanx, so that kind of thing is fine. Hope that makes sense), and they talk about stuff and catch bad guys. Feel free to includes Mullins's biological family, Ashburn's coworker(s), etc, or to make up whole other people for them to interact with. | letter |
| florahart | Southland | John Cooper | Really? Really, that's where we're leaving it, show? Damn it. Entire cast is welcome, and you can go anywhere you feel is true to the character and where the show might have gone. It's okay to give John a partner, and it's also okay to work with where he is now, alone. Some of my favorite John things were the times he talked to prostitutes and in one case transvestites with compassion; his screwed up relationships both with his ex-wife and with his sometimes-ish-boyfriend; his interactions with Cookie; actually a lot of things. |
letter |
| florahart | Fairly Legal | Kate Reed, Ben Grogan, Justin Patrick | I'm easy here: threesome. However, if you are not comfortable writing porn, you should write something else in which all three of them interact, whether that's case in keeping with the show, or, IDK, the time they all for some reason went to Disneyworld together and had to cooperate to get out of the situation when a ride broke down with them on it. That's an example, not a directive for a specific thing I want. What I do need is for everyone to be happy to be doing this all together. Also, I feel like this would be the kind of threesome where everyone talked kind of constantly, both about what is going on and about more general things, and I am okay with that (for a value of okay that is gleeful, heh). I like that Kate knows law stuff and went to the trouble of law school, but then was drawn to a more conciliatory approach but that this doesn't make her not tough and she frequently 'wins' with this approach. I also like that both men obviously find her exasperating and appealing and difficult and worth it. |
letter |
| florahart | We Can't Stop | Blurred Lines (VMA Performance) | Miley Cyrus (VMA Performance), Robin Thicke (VMA Performance), Dancing Bears (We Can't Stop | Blurred Lines), Good Girl | Hottest Ho in the Place | Look, if you signed up to write this, I'm figuring you're comfortable with some kind of mashup of meta, pop music, people magazine covers, social media, and whatever else you need to do this, so: have fun. If you want to bring in Sinead for a cameo or something, you go right ahead. I don't actually want, exactly, quite, RPF? But I know this is a weird amalgamation of RPF, meta, and fictional-person/persona-fic. What I was thinking when I nominated this was about the issue of the lyrics grossness of Blurred Lines, which is super-catchy and popular all summer but, you know, good girl/ho and also, hey, 'you know you want it'; and about paparazzi and various blogs and stuff going on about Miley and her often-tiny pants and maybe her drugs and definitely her sex life and the whole appropriation of twerking issue; and about just, what happened in the meeting(s) where they (for a value of they that means everyone involved) decided to do this? I can't describe the product I want, for real, because what I want is for someone way cleverer than me to play with the pieces and tell a story that makes sense and is not the bad kind of crack (see my letter); also, while I do not want the story to make excuses for Blurred Lines' lyrics, I kind of do want you to portray Miley more or less sympathetically, because regardless of whether her (public) behavior is drug-fueled, spoiled, manic, just plain young, or just Miley bein' Miley, I'm willing to believe she's not just trolling. Furthermore, feel free to bring in any other pop culture or media or, IDK, ...things! to make your story work. Maybe you want Miley to talk to Britney; maybe you want to include Miley's recent SNL appearance; maybe you want to bring in Paula Patton or have Alan Thicke show up. Maybe you want to include the Beetlejuice gif that showed up immediately, or talk about the Seattle genderflipped parody video for Blurred Lines. Have fun, although again, I do want a coherent story and not just elements thrown at a wall (this is in the letter, re: crack fic). |
letter |
| florahart | Covert Affairs | Auggie Anderson, Annie Walker (Covert Affairs), Eyal Lavine | Here again, what I want is a threesome. Start here: the thing with the boat at the end of the season before this half-season thing that just ended? I felt like seriously, the right way for that entire situation to end was with a lot of porn. I was sad my TV did not accommodate me in this regard. If you are not comfortable writing a threesome, or porn in general, that's okay! Write me interaction of the three of them where it is clear they are all deeply involved in each other's lives and interested in each other's well-being. What I specifically love about these characters together is that both Eyal and Auggie are absolutely sure that Annie is competent and a badass and capable of a shit ton of amazing, and still, they both want to protect her (and sometimes they do) and still they both show up to save her (and let her save them). And, on the boat in particular, what I liked about Auggie and Eyal together was that it was pretty clear they both know that about each other and themselves, and they both trust each other to be the one that looks after Annie to the extent she needs looking after (minimal...). Also, I'm pretty sure Eyal hadn't met Auggie before and there was zero tomfoolery about his blindness before he commenced assuming he was competent as well. |
letter |
| florahart | Bourne Legacy (2012) | Aaron Cross, Marta Shearing | o basically, I want Aaron Cross to be happy. I'm not sure the character would do all that well really living life slow on a tropical island as seems to be where they are heading on a tiny boat at movie's end, because maybe canon doesn't say they built him for, like, extreme sports? But I kind of think they did (see: wolves, mountains, icy lake, motorcycle, IDEK what else), and I also think that part of that would almost have to be the drive to go find opportunities to practice. Also, I'm not sure Marta would do well living quietly either. Or rather, quiet wouldn't be bad, but I feel like the fact she was so academic it never occurred to her to consider the practical would mean she'd need at least a pretty good library. So: Aaron and Marta have time to figure out who to be, and between them they have some mad skills and a lot of capacity to analyze and think things through. They want to stick together, at least for the foreseeable future because, you know, they're the only ones they know, but where do they decide to go (because why), and what stories do they tell each other on the way as he figures out how to be the person he's been remade to be (and she figures out how to live in the real world)? Also, feel free to explore (ugh, yuletide signup deadline so this is pretty unthoughtful, but) what it means to him to have the intellect she's given him -- does that mean he owes her forever? Is that healthy? (it's okay not to go down this road, too). |

I came for the mermaid king and stayed for him and Evyione. I'm sure she'd make a good queen, she's compassionate, dedicated, interested and still of steely resolve if the situation calls for it. It's nice to see how Yashin learned to live as a human, it wasn't easy or done nilly willy, but he persevered to get what he wants and still he isn't so absorbed in Evyione that he can't care for other people and try to help them. And the series had some tieing up, too, although Yashin got of us those chains rather fast when he saw what predicament he was in and that his partner was rather unwilling. What if it had been a willing Evyione, for different purposes? Or a reveal would be nice, Evyione finding out who he is, maybe getting to hear the sea language again. So many of the covers have him in his mermaid form together with Evyione, glossing over the reveal and going straight for the reveal would be great, too. Or simply a chance for Evyione to unwind with faithful Yashin at her side, without having to worry about her father trying to get rid of her and without the trappings of court and blossoming love. Please leave out Steiner de Marschal, I don't like him at all. |

| FlyingQuetzal | 女娲传说之灵珠 | The Holy Pearl | Dīng Yáo, Wèn Tiān | I originally saw this series on viki, unfortunately it's blocked now and I don't know whether it's just me or for everyone. There is a subtitling group, but they haven't finished the series yet, and the Chinese DVDs don't have English subtitles. Someone recommended this series as a Chinese version of Inu Yasha. It certainly had it's own intriguing twists and a much faster pacing than Inu Yasha. The series could have used some talking to each other, but in general it was very nice to watch, even when my favorite characters weren't on screen. after the series. I'm wondering whether Ding Yao can still travel to the past or whether Wen Tian can travel to the future. I'd say the ending scenes hint at some family enlargement, so how did that happen? Wen Tian protested that he can't turn into a dragon, yet he becomes human from time to time. Maybe once in a blue moon he turns into a dragon? Do Wen Tian”s horns need polishing? Did Ding Yao ever get her degree? Did they have another adventure somewhere along the way? I can't remember whether Wen Tian or Ding Yao are getting tie up in the series. |

| FlyingQuetzal | 구가의 서 | Gu Family Book | Choi Kang-chi, Dam Yeo-wool | Gu Family Book showed up on hulu in the recommendations after I had watched Faith. As Holy Pearl shows, I have a thing for half-demons, so this series was very much right up my ally. His father's voice also helped a good deal. I think Kang-chi and Yeo-wool made a great team and were a great team. Turning out to be a half-demon is not an easy thing to take in, especially if you have trouble keeping your demon side under control, it was nice to see someone accepting him as he was and believing in him. While I'm not very fond of the Tree of Shame thing, I loved Kang-chi's tie up scene. Hanging in those chains, suffering from the drug in his demon form, and his mother suffers right along side him. So what did Yeo-wool have to say about the whole thing? Did she offer some TLC? Did they get up to any exploring of the limits of his demon form? Now that Kang-chi's wait is over, how's the thing with the reborn Yeo-wool coming along? Does he tell her of his parentage? Does she find out on her own? Are his parents making an appearance? Please leave out Sojung, I really don't like him. |

| FlyingQuetzal | 신의 | Faith | The Great Doctor | Choi Young Yoo Eun Soo | ckered in by Choi Young's picture on hulu, I stayed for Yoo Eun Soo, and Choi Young. I loved almost all characters in this series. It was nice to see not doing stupid thing after stupid thing with bad thing after bad thing happening to them, the series found a good balance on that. I liked the changes he went through as the series went on, from this depressed guy who only continued on out of duty to someone who had once again found a reason to live. And she tended to be so bossy and self-assured, although it was a bit sad to see her bubbly nature going quieter with all the things happening around. I tended to look away at the medical procedure close ups, so please, if such things happen in the fic, light on details, please. If the story needs some playing loose with history, that's fine. For example, what would have happened if he had taken her up on just leaving everything behind and going to her world? How would he have gotten along in the future? Did she get her clinic? Did they take the ex-king with them and managed to get him healed? Did they ever have fishing trip? Maybe during the series or after is, maybe taking the King and Queen fishing as well. Those two were such a sweet couple after the initial troubles. Did Yoo Eun Soo ever use Choi Young as a defibrilator or a battery for her little projector recorder? Please leave out the King's uncle, I very much did not like him. |

| Fox | Back to the Future (Movies) | Marty McFly, George McFly, Emmett "Doc" Brown | I think it could be really interesting to ponder the difference in Marty's relationship with his father before and after he does all his traveling (either after the first movie or after the third, I guess), and how Doc is a father figure (in a way) that changes how he thinks about George. Right? | letter |
| Fox | Chronicles of Prydain - Lloyd Alexander | Gwydion (Prydain), Taran of Caer Dallben, Fflewddur Fflam | What do you think Taran learns about being a hero from Gwydion, vs. what he learns about being a hero from Fflewddur (who I believe is totally brave and heroic just as Neville Longbottom is, if that comparison is at all meaningful to you)? Do feel free to consider other heroes as well - Coll, Adaon, Achren?, whomever. | letter |
| Fox | Mulan (1998) | Fa Mulan (Mulan) | Tell me more about the Fa family. Why is Mulan more interested in making her father proud of her than her mother? At the end of the film when he says he's honored just to have her for a daughter, does she believe him? Would he have said this if she had not run away but returned with the Emperor's medal? | letter |
| Fox | As You Like It - Shakespeare | Rosalind | Ganymede (As You Like It), Celia | Aliena (As You Like It) | Mind you, her father is usually presented as a real piece of work, but Celia is lightning-quick to reject him when he banishes Rosalind - not one bit as loyal to her father as Rosalind is to her own. What's going on in the two ducal families, besides what we see in the play? | letter |
| foxinthestars | Saiunkoku Monogatari | I want a fic where Shuurei is not the first female official --- one of her seniors is (at least biologically) a woman, disguised (or presenting) as a man. Who is it? Could be an original character, or any canon character you care to press into service. Why do they do it? Woman with a dream? Transgendered man? How do they feel about seeing the rules change for Shuurei? Glad? Relieved? Resentful? Nothing much? Will the change affect their life? Will they come out or stay undercover? No explicit sex, please. | letter | |
| foxinthestars | 有頂天家族 | The Eccentric Family | This has been my favorite new anime of this year, and I love how it blends humor and drama and slice-of-life, plus I am a sucker for shows based on Japanese lore about the supernatural. I love the Shimogamo family both individually and in their dynamics with each other, and Mother, Kaisei, and Benten are all such awesome ladies in their various ways. Anything you want to write in this fandom is fine (well, okay, a straight Kinkaku&Ginkaku story might be disappointing), just please try for that canon feel and don't include explicit sex. | letter | |
| foxinthestars | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | I love this show, and I love (or at least could be interested to read about) pretty much everyone in it. Just try for the canon atmosphere of sentiment and warmth, don't include explicit sex, and I'd rather you didn't ship any of the high schoolers with characters above that age range or ship Matoba with anyone, really. Within that, anything you want to write is fine. If you want a few possibilities to get the ball rolling, characters of interest include Taki (who never gets enough screentime) and Tanuma's Dad (whose sticky situation in all this isn't really acknowledged). Ships of interest include Natsume/Taki/Tanuma (or any permutation of those three), Shigeru/Touko, and Natori/Hiiragi (their fraught mutual stealth-caring doesn't even have a relationship tag on Ao3 yet, I can't believe it). Sample plot ideas... Have relatives Natsume used to live with stop by for dinner and things get tense. Give me the view from Nanatsujiya. I'm usually not into A/Us or crossovers, but in this case I'd be interested in a Japanese historical period A/U or a crossover with Red Data Girl or with Shinrei Tantei Yakumo (the latter just to play with mutually exclusive seeing youkai vs. seeing ghosts). Really, though, whatever you want within the few rules I gave. | letter | |
| foxinthestars | 悪魔城ドラキュラ 暁月の円舞曲 と 蒼月の十字架 | Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow & Dawn of Sorrow | Kurusu Souma | Soma Cruz (Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow & Dawn of Sorrow), Arikado Genya | Genya Arikado (Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow & Dawn of Sorrow) | I want a genfic with Soma and Genya, focusing on the tension/contrast between their relationship in Soma's last incarnation and their relationship now --- bonus points: Soma gets tired of Genya telling him what to do and/or finds out who Genya really is. Alternatively, I would enjoy seeing Soma in just a high school slice-of-life type of story, but without leaving his true nature, his adventures, and his friends from said adventures entirely out of it (yes, write me the most boringest Castlevania fic ever and I will love it; Genya not required on this option). No explicit sex, please. Also, please don't ship Soma and Genya even a little (possible squick aside, I'd rather not see Alucard with anyone but Maria), although any WAFFiness you can manage without breaking character would be welcome. I like Castlevania fic relatively warm and uprightly heroic rather than completely dark. | letter |
| foxinthestars | Seirei no Moribito | Guardian of the Sacred Spirit | Shuga (Seirei no Moribito) | I just want a genfic about Shuga. Yes, it helps that he's white-haired and pretty, but he's also a genius who rose from being a fisherman's son to being in line to become the most politically powerful man in the country, he's a very principled person thrown into a situation where those principles will be constantly challenged, just, mmmph! So anything about him you want to do: backstory, day-in-the-life, whatever. Just as possibilities: In the novel, he and Torogai promised to teach each other about their respective disciplines, that could be fun to watch (especially with their personalities so perfectly mismatched). The canon is a bit short on details of the new official story that was invented to square this circle, so you could tell me exactly how it goes, what hand Shuga had in writing it and how he felt about it. Or, now that Chagum is back in the palace, explore how their relationship has changed. I'm thinking primarily of the anime canon, but I have read the first two novels, as well. No explicit sex please --- in fact I'd prefer no romance on this one at all. | letter |

| FoxtrotAlpha | Lewis & Clark RPF | William Clark (Lewis & Clark RPF), Meriwether Lewis (Lewis & Clark RPF) | These dudes ftw. I love their relationship and adventures to bits. The whole expedition is everything I want in my epic fiction and has the added benefit of having actually happened. Intrepid adventuring parties and near-death encounters and exploration. Lewis as the younger, more serious personality and Clark as his foil. Naturalist geekery en route. Native encounters, usually handled in a mature, respectful fashion for a surprise. Bromance, or slash if you were willing to go that way, would be perfect. | letter |
| FoxtrotAlpha | Gladiator (2000) | Maximus Decimus Meridius, Emperor Commodus (Gladiator) | Oh, the power dynamics here. Ancient Rome and all the associated tropes, gladatorial fights and awesomeness. Maximus being his all-out badass self even as a slave and screw diplomacy. Commodus being his unsubtly unstable, incestuous self. Between the mess with his sister and the homoerotic nuzzling of his 'brother' at the end when he had him all chained up, jeez. And why didn't Commodus just buy up the Spaniard when he started being a pain in the neck? He was the emperor, for fuck's sake, he could have done it. | letter |
| FoxtrotAlpha | Mozart l'Opéra Rock - Mozart/Baguian & Guirao | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Mozart l'Opéra Rock), Antonio Salieri (Mozart l'Opéra Rock) | The extreme shippiness surrounding 'Le bien qui fait mal' is what first pulled me into the musical and I've gone on to adore everything about this relationship. Salieri literally almost killing himself in the throes of some mutant species of hate/love. Mozart being a bit of an oblivious, irresponsible puppy and yet a musical genius at the same time. I'd luv me some good slash for this pairing but a general look into their wildly different approaches to life and the rivalry, or anything at all with them both together would make me extremely happy. | letter |
| FoxtrotAlpha | Phantom of the Opera - Lloyd Webber | Raoul de Chagny, Christine Daae (Phantom of the Opera-Lloyd Webber), Erik (Phantom of the Opera-Lloyd Webber) | There's a lot of killing off one or the other of the guys to accomplish romance in this fandom, so if somebody could manage Erik/Raoul or a threesome or some no-romance way that nobody has to die for the ship they would be my hero. | letter |

Smexings would also be luvly, if you were up for that. | letter |

If you're up to the challenge, give Winston a juicy side-story into which Havers and Lynley get themselves wrapped up. | letter |

Although, after seeing Ming-Na making a LoTR reference to her new iPhone (Precious!), make her a superSecret geek. | letter |

| Froggimus_Rex | The Fall (TV) | Stella Gibson, Reed Smith, Danielle Ferrington | I really loved the dynamics between these three (with Stella as the fulcrum as it were) so anything that expanded on that in any way would be golden. If you're in a femslashy mood, I'm quite fond of the idea of Stella/Dani, and am not opposed to Stella/Reed Smith. If you can't think of something involving all three, I'd be more than happy to get something that focuses on just one or two of them. |

| Froggimus_Rex | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman | Mary Malone, Serafina Pekkala | I seriously *heart* both of these characters and the way they were basically *boom* insta-bffs in the books.

I'd also love backstory/character exploration on either or both of them if that's your thing. | letter |
| Froggimus_Rex | Scott & Bailey | Rachel Bailey, Gill Murray, Janet Scott | I really enjoy the relationships between these three in canon, so I'd love something exploring that.

Alternatively if you wanted to write something really tropey and out-there that'd be cool too. |

| Frostfire | One Life to Live | Kyle Lewis, Oliver Fish | Kyle and Fish! I would be cool with lots of things here - a look at their college relationship, a look at their lives with Sierra after they leave the show, maybe something about them meeting Fish's parents again as an official couple (I was totally fascinated by Kyle's relationship with Oliver's mother, and I'd love to see more of them together). Or, you could AU the show's plotline, have it all go differently somehow? One thing I would actually really love would be to see an AU where Kyle didn't get together with someone else so fast after declaring himself over Oliver - I was never a huge fan of Nick - and them having to deal with the fallout of Oliver's behavior plus his coming-out. A look at their sex life would also be great, whether first time (or first time back together) or not. Basically, I'd just love to see anything with the two of them! | letter |
| Frostfire | Doctrine of Labyrinths - Sarah Monette | Murtagh | Ferrand Carey | Murtagh! Murtagh deserves so many props for stepping up and helping stuff work out for crazy people and their ridiculous problems. I love how he's compassionate without being weak, tough without being cruel, imperfect and real but still so much more in control of his shit than...anybody else. I would love a post-Corambis story, to see how everything works out. I'd also love to see Murtagh slashed with either Felix or Kay, if you want. I feel like he could really help Felix work on his issues (and that could be super hot, if you wanted to go that route), and...I also really feel like he has a thing for Kay, and Kay deserves some loving, frankly. On the other hand, if you wanted to explore Isobel as a character, and maybe get Murtagh to work some stuff out with her, that would be really cool, too. It would also be neat just to see stuff from Murtagh's perspective (first- or third-POV), since he isn't a POV character in the book. And frankly, any situation where he just comes in and pwns all the idiots makes me happy--he's so *competent*! On the other hand, seeing the rare occasions when he's unsure of himself (e.g. when he's apologizing to Felix for the whole prostitution thing) is great, too. Basically whatever you want to do would be awesome! | letter |
| Frostfire | Dark Visions - L. J. Smith | Kaitlyn Fairchild, Gabriel Wolfe, Rob Kessler | There's so much that I would love for this prompt. Gabriel and Rob back at the facility they were at pre-series? Gabriel, Rob, and Kait trying to actually be actual friends in a non-awkward way, post-series? Kait discussing one of them with the other one? (...Kait discussing how one of them is IN BED with the other one??) I would also love a threesome, if you can make it work without hurting Anna. And relationships aside, it would be nice to see how they all deal with their issues and trauma and so on, after the book - can they sit down and take a break for a while? Will there be some problems with the Fellowship? How do they deal with the bond? How do they deal with Gabriel? Can Gabriel have actual friendships with actual people when everything is not terrible all of the time? Any and all of these questions would fascinate me. Also--Kaitlyn, Gabriel, and Rob were the only characters nommed, but I would LOVE to see some exploration of the insane five-way psychic bond thing, and the relationships between the five of them. Anna and Lewis don't get a ton of focus in the books, so I'd really like to see some further developments of their characters and their relationships with everyone else - like, how do Anna and Gabriel relate to each other? Lewis and Rob? I would also LOVE to see a ten-years-later look at the five of them and the bond and their relationships, and how they've grown and changed. Also, if you wanted to go the polyamory route, here, I would be the LAST person to stop you. Any combination! All of them in a pile! I would read it with glee. |

| Frostfire | Dreamboat 730 (Song) | o, obviously there are a lot of ways to view a song, and I don't want to dictate exactly what you should write! However, I sort of see the verses as talking about a past (which apparently includes a dysfunctional relationship with a lady, which maaay have included some actual literal masochism), and the chorus as the present, where the narrator is either inviting someone to join the land of the fucked-up and get some solidarity, or being similarly invited himself. You can take a look at my Dear Yuletide Author letter for (a lot) more details on what the story here might or might not be, but basically, I'd like a story with an up note. This guy has been through a lot, and maybe he hasn't had anyone on his side, and now he could have someone on his side! Maybe more than one someone! It's fine if you include dark stuff also (although I have a little bit of a squick regarding drugs, especially if they're really adversely affecting someone's life, so I'd rather addiction not be a theme - I can totally see taking "let's go dreaming" in a Lotus-Eater sense, but I'd rather not go that route, if possible) - in the backstory or in the present day, but I choose to see the chorus as a turning point of sorts, with a possible better situation on the other side (even if it is still a little fucked-up or codependent). I am cool with gen, slash, or het on this, and I'd love a 'found family' situation, and/or polyamory, though that isn't a requirement by any means. Any rating is cool with me - sex would be awesome, but it's not necessary or anything. Mostly I'd just like some look at this guy, what he's been through, and what he might be getting in the future! |

| fujiidom | Freaks and Geeks | Bill Haverchuck, Vicki Appleby | (MORE INFO FOR THIS PROMPT AND THE REST, AT THE LINK BELOW) Yes, if you got this you probably already know, this is based 100% off of the scene of the pair playing seven minutes in heaven. I really hope this isn't the sole fandom we matched on because my request for this is a little more specific than I tend to try and keep these, but I really don't want to see them dating in high school. I would love, IDEALLY, for them to meet up during the high school reunion? If that's too much to ask, at least way later in life once they've found themselves more and aren't just messing around in a closet. I won't be wrecked if it's set when they're younger, but it's definitely not my first choice. Other than the ages/setting, have at it. I will take anything involving these two and romance. Please and thank you. |

| fujiidom | Malcolm in the Middle | Reese (Malcolm in the Middle), Cynthia Sanders | This is one of my favorite shows of all time, so I'd be happy to read anything in this universe. In fact, I nominated Malcolm/Jessica (the neighbor), also, but when forced to choose for the sake of matching, I'd prefer this match up. I'm probably showing my cards, again, about what kind of stories I like, but I would love for these two to actually get together post-series. They had a moment where Reese (sociopath that he is) manipulates her into dating him to spite her, but I think that the chemistry was just too interesting to leave off the way it was. It's like him and cooking. He can pretend his interest in it is superficial, but he has a hard time faking anything that seriously, so I think some amount of it was genuine like. If it were set in-series, I'd definitely like it to be an alternate ending version of that episode or one like it where Reese gets to the point where he was going to trick her, but comes clean and then tries to rebuild the relationship? Bonus points if this includes Malcolm/Jessica, just because. Or any amount of the rest of Malcolm's immediate family, as well. Like I said, one of my all time favorite shows. I'll take anything I can get with this one. |
letter |
| fujiidom | Royal Pains | Divya Katdare, Jeremiah Sacani | GIVE ME ANYTHING. So long as there's romance, I don't care. I would probably prefer it to be sans baby, but I don't even care if that's there, too. I don't care if they never hook-up and just flirt closer and closer to it. I don't care if they do nothing BUT hook-up. I JUST WANT THEM TO BE IN LOVE FOR REAL. I think the show is really pushing Divya closer and closer to that place, but I am not that patient. Any version of them being in love is fine by me. So do your worst. Also if you include Page and Russell being fabulous together, you're the best. If you include needless Hank or worse yet Hank/Jill/Jill at all, you're the worst. Kidding. Kind of. | letter |
| fujiidom | Sky High (2005) | Warren Peace, Layla Williams | Ideally this would be romantically themed because I adore these two and the way the movie had things going I really thought they were gearing up to veer in this (the correct) direction but instead they just acknowledged them being great together and Will being an asshole to Layla but still let him more or less end up with her. I like the idea of seeing his dad either out of prison or while he's still there and exploring more about both characters in general. I'm forever annoyed at how quickly their fascinating backstories were glossed over for the sake of more boring Stronghold nonsense. So bottom line: more of them, less (to nothing at all) of the Strongholds. I always prefer seeing a relationship develop than anything established, but if they're older than high school then I can deal with either. Feel free to lose the entire backdrop of the high school and the movie plot altogether if you want to just follow them in college or in the real world, I'm really only attached to these two in the first place as the rest of the movie clearly irked me from time to time. Also saving the world and all that bullshit is optional. I'm sure that has the potential to bog down your plot unless you want to write about it, so you can just pretend they're regular people with some weird hobbies for all I care. | letter |
| fujiidom | Stick It (2006) | Haley Graham, Burt Vickerman | o incredibly sorry if you matched this in a general way because I'm the terrible person who ships a fifty-something with a teenager. WHATEVER. Cat's out of the bag, I would love for them to become partners running his gym when he wants to ''''retire'''' and then he just can't let her run things without showing up and critiquing everything (good naturedly, of course). I do think fast-forwarding through her career to retirement or at least aging her up to college aged would make things a little less ...awkward, when it comes to them having a genuine relationship. But honestly I adore their banter enough that just the two of them working together would be hilarious. Bonus points if Joanne and/or Wei Wei show up. | letter |
| fullmoon02 | Starsky & Hutch RPF | Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky & Hutch RPF) David Soul (Starsky & Hutch RPF) | I know it's irritating when people say "anything goes" in their requests but... that's pretty much the case here. Seriously, just having a fic of these two would make me pass out of joy. To give you some idea why I love these two though: Paul and David are probably better friends than Starsky and Hutch in the series. It's obvious that they love each other and they have been very dear friends for decades. If you want to ship them, I would be all over it but strong friendship is more than lovely. You can pick the time, the location, anything. You can set them in the 70s, being young and beautiful and acting in the show. It would be equally interesting to see them in their current ages, perhaps see how their relationship has changed over the years (when so much has happened to both of them). General likes, dislikes, prompts etc. can be found from my DA letter :) |
letter |
| fullmoon02 | Prison Break RPF | Wentworth Miller (Prison Break RPF), Dominic Purcell (Prison Break RPF) | I have marathoned this show a few times over the years, shipping everyone with anyone, but I I have never before shipped the actors with each other. This is the first time I actually thought there might be something going on between the actors, too. Of course, focusing on the friendship instead of shipping is totally cool. Also, feel free to include other actors of the show in the story. My personal favourites are Amaury, William and Robert. I'm sure that playing brothers for many years actually affects the relationship Dominic and Wentworth have with each other. I want to think they share a connection that no one else could quite understand. I could totally buy it that Dominic was Wentworth's brother in real life. (Or husband/boyfriend!) General likes, dislikes, prompts etc. can be found from my DA letter :) |
letter |
| fullmoon02 | Marvel Avengers Movies RPF | Robert Downey Jr. (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF), Mark Ruffalo (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF) | I shipped them before The Avengers. In fact, I saw them together in Zodiac and immediately thought there was something going on between them. Mark is one of the sweetest, greatest, kindest and most wonderful person this Earth has ever witnessed. Period. Robert on the other hand is kind of a playboy, having a dark history and a great comeback to spotlight. They are very different in many, many ways but I also see how they could work together just brilliantly. Mark would be the calming partner of Robert, the one who he could trust no matter what. And they are good friends, so there is that. General likes, dislikes, prompts etc. can be found from my DA letter :) |
letter |
| fullmoon02 | All the President's Men (1976) | Carl Bernstein (All the President's Men), Bob Woodward (All the President's Men) | There are plenty of things I love in this particular canon: the newspapers, journalists, clacking sound of the typewriter keys, the mystery, the fear, the constant doubt and the fact that Woodward and Bernstein can only trust each other. (Us against the world kind of thing.) Again, both slash or gen is fine. (Seriously, anything is fine. I would just like to see a proof I'm not the only one in this fandom!) General likes, dislikes, prompts etc. can be found from my DA letter :) |

| furchte_die_schildkrote | Chaos Walking - Patrick Ness | Pretty much anything but Coyle/Prentiss. This is my anti-ship. Also Davy/any of the female characters is uncomfortable for me. I'd prefer a fic that doesn't have a focus on Todd/Viola, but that ship in the background works for me. Favorite characters: -Mistress Coyle (please no hate for her, though acknowledging her flaws is A++++) -Corinne -Maddy -Lee -Viola -Mayor Prentiss -Davy Prentiss -Ben -Cillian Ships: -Mistress Coyle/Mistress Thrace -Corinne/Maddy -Ben/Cillian |

| furchte_die_schildkrote | Евгений Онегин | Eugene Onegin - Aleksandr Pushkin | Eugene Onegin, Vladimir Lensky | I am mostly looking for slash here. | letter |
| furchte_die_schildkrote | Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman | Glinda the Good (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman), Elphaba Thropp (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman) | I am most interested in femslash, though friendship is fine too. | letter |
| furchte_die_schildkrote | Skins (UK) | Tony Stonem | First generation only, please. The later ones never really held my attention. I'm mostly interested in slash or femslash, either romance or casual sex smut or anything in between. Smut is slightly preferred, especially if it involves one of the characters who doesn't openly identify as gay or bi, but whatever you're comfortable with is 110% cool. Also, discussions of sexuality are really interesting to me. Also, S1!Tony using emotional manipulation on his friends is my jam. |
letter |
| furiosity | Chihayafuru | Ayase Chihaya, Wakamiya Shinobu | I have only watched the anime for this (both seasons) and I am not following the manga; I would prefer not to be spoiled. Chihaya/Shinobu please, the cuter and fluffier the better! Karuta geekery, bonding over weird fashion characters, hell, even having an actual conversation, ANYTHING, I just want to see how they get together and become the cutest girlfriends. *_* If you're not feeling the femslash I would love to see them becoming cute friends too. | letter |
| furiosity | Eyeshield 21 | Anezaki Mamori, Kobayakawa Sena, Hiruma Youichi, Patrick "Panther" Spencer | I finished both the anime and manga, though admittedly it's been a while since then! I would love to see a future fic set 10+ years later involving any one, some, or all of these characters (especially Mamori). I also would enjoy any canon scenes retold from another perspective -- for example, the manga does give us Mamori's thoughts some of the time, particularly when Sena is doing something epic yet again, but there are many scenes were her thoughts were not offered. I'd be interested in unexpected portrayals that fit the canon character depiction but also explore a possible undercurrent -- e.g. Mamori is secretly a ruthless manipulator, or Hiruma is secretly a fluffy marshmallow. | letter |
| furiosity | 八犬伝 -東方八犬異聞- | Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East | Inuzuka Shino Satomi Rio Inukawa Sosuke Ao (Hakkenden) | I have only seen the anime (both seasons) and I don't mind spoilers. The sign-up let me only pick the above four characters but really I would love absolutely anything set in this universe, especially any of the Inu-types interacting with their spirits. Inappropriate jokes about testicles more than welcome. I'd love to see more about Shino and Rio's past, or a scenario where Sousuke and Ao are forced to work together and aren't allowed to kill or harm each other. | letter |
| furiosity | Kuragehime | Princess Jellyfish | Kurashita Tsukimi, Chieko (Kuragehime), Mayaya (Kuragehime), Banba (Kuragehime) | I watched the anime when it aired and I'm caught up to chapter 64 of the manga as of this writing and would prefer not to be spoiled. I am ALL about the Amars and would prefer no or very little involvement from any other characters (this includes Kuranosuke -- possible gender fluidity notwithstanding, Kuranosuke is not a socially awkward nerd). I wasn't able to pick all the Amars on the list but I would adore to see Jiji and Mejiro too. I can't get enough of their everyday otaku lives so character sketches/background histories, or just slice-of-life moments showing them on their own or interacting with one another, set pre- or post-Jellyfish, gen or not, though if you pair Tsukimi with any of the Amars, please make her really interested and not "well I'm just seeking comfort here until [a man] notices me". | letter |
| furiosity | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | Natsume Reiko, Natsume Takashi, Tanuma Kaname | I have only seen the anime (all seasons). I picked it up because of Kamiya Hiroshi reasons but completely fell for the setting and the characters. I would completely adore anything about Reiko -- her past at any age, her relationships with any of the ayakashi we've encountered (or the humans in her life), her secret gay love affair (coughs). Also would love Natsume/Tanuma friendship or romance, particularly of the awkward-first-kiss or hurt/comfort variety (where the hurt is not inflicted by either one of them but by a third party). | letter |
| furiosity | 宇宙兄弟 | Space Brothers (Anime) | I watch this every week shortly after it airs so I'm always caught up. This is one of my absolute favourite series of all time, and I could wallow in fics set in this universe forever. I hate to say "anything" here but -- anything would be amazing, with only two exceptions: 1) Muttacest (I just don't believe in it and have no interest in being convinced) and 2) Hibito's panic disorder from his own POV. I have situational panic disorder too and it's difficult for me to read headspace descriptions without becoming anxious. I love the slice-of-lifeness of this series so anything like that would be fabulous. I'd be pleased to see a "canon insert" of Mutta's less eventful days with Apo while Hibito's on the mission and he's in Houston; just doing regular daily things like mowing the lawn and cooking dinner while carrying on that internal monologue of his. It would be wonderful to see Hibito and Mutta finally together on the moon (or further!), or the Makabe family spending a day off together at the amusement park. Also, this is not strictly canon-friendly because I think the source material is basically operating from the assumption that humans are unlikely to encounter intelligent life in our space travels, but I kind of would adore to see Hibito being the first astronaut to encounter a sentient alien species. If none of that strikes your fancy, I would love love LOVE anything that focuses on any (or several, or many) of the female characters. [I do mean any, down to Kenji's kid and Ena's sister.] |

| futuresoon | Tsuritama | Sanada Yuki, Haru (Tsuritama) | Yuki's working at the Hemingway now, but does he have any plans for after high school? How does Haru fit into them (if he doesn't have plans of his own)? Shippiness is welcome but not required, and if it is there, no porn, please. | letter |
| futuresoon | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | Natsume Takashi | What if one (or more) of Natsume's previous foster families decided he was mentally ill and in need of treatment? Therapy, drugs, even a stay in a mental hospital; maybe he starts to wonder if they're right. Of course, eventually they give up and shuttle him off to the next family, but for a while he has to deal with a whole new kind of misery. Bonus if the Fujiwaras know but don't care. Please don't be dismissive of actual mental illness or the people who try to treat it, though. | letter |
| futuresoon | Monster (manga) | Dieter (Monster) | What was life like for Dieter post-canon? Did he have trouble at school because of all the time he spent out of the education system? What did the other kids and teachers think about him having so many parental figures but no actual parents? I'd love appearances by any combination of the other characters in his life, especially Tenma, but it's up to you which ones. | letter |
| futuresoon | Black Lagoon | Okajima "Rock" Rokuro, Rebecca "Revy" | Two prompts for the price of one, because my first one isn't to everyone's taste: utterly filthy Revy/Rock porn, D/s elements a bonus, with Rock sincerely not giving a fuck about standards of "manliness". Alternately: everyone they know and a few people they don't has a running bet on whether or not they've slept together, but they ain't saying a thing about it; eventually it gets to the point where most of Roanapur has money on one or the other, and they're just enjoying the view. Which side would theoretically win is up to you. | letter |
| gaialux | Futurama | Turanga Leela, Bender Rodriguez, Philip J. Fry | I love the world of Futurama, including anything and everything related to outer space (well, their version at least!). If you'd like to write a fic where the crew have a delivery and wacky hijinks ensue, feel free. Ditto with anything where they visit other planets and/or other places found in the Futurama world of space. Just as much, though, I love fics set closer to home in New New York, either at Planet Express, homes of the characters, or just around the city. If you want to include other characters, I love everyone employed at Planet Express. | letter |
| gaialux | The Simpsons | When I say any, I totally mean any! I've watched the show so many times and love what each and every character has brought to the screen, whether that be a member of The Simpsons family or a one episode walk-on. I'm also very easy-going and open to whatever plots you come up with. Setting it in Springfield is a bonus but not a requirement, and I really do like 'special' eps (ie. Halloween, Christmas), if you would like to give your fic a theme. Feel free to set it in the past, present, or future. Anything goes, really! | letter | |
| gaialux | The Sims (Video Games) | Worldbuilding. I love worldbuilding in The Sims. Set it in any town from any of the games, and you've already set up a fic I will love. I like "Sim-isms”, I like humour, I like meta that breaks the fourth-wall. I also like stuff that doesn't. Bella Bachelor is my favourite characters, especially during The Sims 2 when we have no idea what happened to her, but don't feel pressured to include her. Slash, gen, het, and moresomes are all fine. Just worldbuilding, I love it! | letter | |
| gaialux | Tennis RPF | Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer | I prefer fics here that are set in the tennis 'verse, but wouldn't say no to an AU. Slash and gen are totally fine, as is het with emphasis still on Rafa and Roger. I like "early era” fics (2004-2009) when the two are just starting out their tennis rivalry/personal friendship. Anything where Rafa looks up to Roger as a tennis player is loved, and if you know any Spanish I don't object to the odd word/phrase being thrown in (plus Rafa's "no?”, hehe). I'm relatively new to this fandom, so just introduce me. Have fun. | letter |
| gaialux | Grease (1978) | Danny Zuko, Kenickie | Danny/Kenickie is my little-known ship, but I like their bromance just as much. A fic set before the movie would be great, such as something showcasing their friendship/relationship before Sandy was involved. Things involving cars/drag racing is awesome, even if I know nothing about them! | letter |
| gaialux | Ben 10 Series | Kevin Levin, Ben Tennyson, Gwen Tennyson | Ultimate Alien is my favourite 'verse, but I'm also familiar with the original series and Alien Force. Feel free to age 'em up if you'd like, but I do like them all together in some shape or form (high school? college? teachers at the Plumbers academy?). I love BAMF!Kevin, smartass!Ben, and strong-yet-stable!Gwen who can hold our own and stand as the voice of reason. | letter |
| Galadriel | The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011) | Micheletto (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)), Cesare Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)) | I would adore a Cesare/Micheletto slash story, whether that's G rated or NC-17, and whether it's unresolved sexual tension, or completely resolved and reciprocated. I know the series ends with Micheletto seemingly going his own way, but I've read The Borgia Apocalypse screenplay, and I know Neil Jordan didn't intend for their partnership to end there, and of course, historically speaking, Micheletto was loyal to Cesare to the bitter end, so I'd love a story that takes that into account, whether it's set before, after, or during their break. I would be happy with pretty much anything that explores their relationship some more, whether that's through a plotty adventure/political scheme or something more introspective/vignette-y. Do you want to write something post-series? I'd love to see how the two of them come back together after everything's fallen apart, if that's a thread you want to follow. How does that happen? Have they changed/matured in the time they've been away from each other? Are there hurts left to heal? Do they fall easily back into old patterns, or are there new things they've realized about themselves/each other? Are they angry? Happy? At peace? Or maybe you'd like to write something far beyond fixing what was broken between them. That would also be wonderful, to see them further in the future. How has their alliance stayed the same/changed/strengthened amongst changing fortunes and other people's duplicities? ...Or if you'd rather write something during the series (also great), what are they like together when they're at their leisure? What's it like for Micheletto, always in the shadows behind Cesare, forever watching out for him and the Borgia family? How does his loyalty manifest when he's in the middle of some foul task specifically performed for Cesare? (And here I'm thinking about all the torture, murder and violence he does in Cesare's name, but it could be anything!) How does Cesare view his stray dog? We see lots of evidence of Micheletto's loyalty to his lord, but how does Cesare's manifest? If you want to go dark, that's ok by me. I find some of the more extreme things the two of them have done (to each other and in service to each other) as fascinating and compelling as they are disturbing. | letter |
| Galadriel | Eastern Promises (2007) | Nikolai Luzhin, Kirill (Eastern Promises) | I'd love a Nikolai/Kirill slashfic of any rating. Perhaps post-movie, in the aftermath of Semyon's arrest, if that interests you? What's happened to the family? Who is in charge now? Has Kirill been punished like his father, or is Nikolai protecting him, and if so, what's motivating him to do so? What is Nikolai's relationship like with the FSB now? What are Nikolai's long-term plans? Do they involve Kirill? Or if you'd prefer something set at *any* time in the movie's continuity -- pre-, post- or sometime during -- maybe you'd like to explore Nikolai's view of Kirill's relationship with his father? Or with his family (as individuals or as a business)? If you'd like to write something more intimate, what about an encounter where Nikolai struggles to balance his cover and his (possible) feelings for Kirill? Kirill, of course, is victim and perpetrator rolled into one, so if you'd prefer to explore how that plays out -- maybe through a story from his point of view, or a scenario in which he now wields power over/is subservient to Nikolai -- that would be great too! I love the idea of Nikolai having complicated feelings towards Kirill, whatever that means for him, so long as he isn't simply using Kirill. Please, no Nikolai/Anna. I'm fine with angst, guilt and ambiguity in this fandom, although none of those are required (and I hold out a hope that Nikolai isn't simply using Kirill). | letter |
| Galadriel | Haven | Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos | I would love a Duke/Nathan slashfic of any rating. I am gunning for an OT3 ending to the series (although I'm sure that's a pie-in-the-sky wish), so I am totally ok with both boys having feelings for Audrey if that's your general preference. I'd prefer this story to be more about how Duke and Nathan relate to each other, however, rather than the full triangle out in force. I am loving how Nathan and Duke are relating to each other so far this season, as it's an absolute joy to see Nathan drop a lot of that resentment and chilliness in favour of real fondness for that Crocker boy. For so long, their relationship has been built on Nathan's anger and Duke's flippant snark, so it'd be great to see how the thawing going on on both sides affects how they see each other now. Maybe something about how their relationship has changed? What's made Nathan change his assessment of Duke? I'm not totally on board with Nathan's current conviction that he's Audrey's true love, but if you can leverage that into an interesting plotline about where that leaves Duke and/or how Duke negotiates his way around that small matter, then I'd love to see it! I'm also up for pure smut, if you'd like to go that route. And/or something dealing with their individual Troubles would be fascinating! Is it still only Audrey who Nathan can feel? If not, why is that? If so, how does that affect being with Duke? If Nathan can't feel, how does he relate to his intimate partners? ...I love absolutely everything about Duke's backstory and his general demeanor, so I'd love something from his point of view, if you'd like to explore his mindset. I'd be as happy with casefic as private moments between the two of them, or a story which compares the past with the present. How does how they were as children relate to their relationship as adults? How are things the same/different from back then, or from the beginning of the series to now? How does the protectiveness they seem to be displaying towards each other this season manifest? What happens when one of them gets hurt? How does the other react? Obviously, with Nathan, there's the problem of his inability to feel pain and notice when he's badly injured, but there's also the fear of blood transfer with Duke. How does that play out in an extreme situation? ...Frankly, I'm going to be happy with pretty much any story about Duke and Nathan so long as one or the other of them ends up displaying some level of care, concern or protectiveness, with extra bonus points for that ol' Crocker attitude, the bad boy with a heart of gold. | letter |
| Galadriel | Merry Gentry - Laurell K Hamilton | Frost (Merry Gentry), Doyle (Merry Gentry) | I'd adore a Frost/Doyle slash story, whether that's G rated or NC-17. They've been at Andais' side for so long and they always seem to instinctually know what each other needs/what needs to be done, so there must be a whole weight of history there. What were they like on the battlefield together when they were at their full powers in the Old World? How did Frost become Doyle's second-in-command? Did Doyle somehow know Frost was best-suited for the position, or were they wary around each other at first? Did Frost need to prove himself? How do they always know so perfectly what the other one needs? They have such a long history with so many Faerie men, and yet no one else seems to work as seamlessly together as these two do. Surely, Doyle had a reputation that Frost must have been aware of as he joined the Unseelie Court. How did that affect his encounters with Doyle? Did he avoid him? Seek him out? Or if you'd rather, maybe it would be interesting to explore what happened to Frost while he was a stag? What kind of thoughts did he have? Did he remember anything at all about being Fae and being with Doyle, or was he fully lost to his new form? Because of the point of view of the books, we get a lot about Merry's feelings regarding the loss of Frost, but what about Doyle's? ...On an entirely different track, obviously I haven't explicitly requested Andais, because I'm most interested in reading about Frost and Doyle and how they relate to each other, but if you like her and are into writing darker fic, I'd be thrilled by a story that tackles how they dealt with Andais' cruelties, tortures and perversions as her Ravens. Did they studiously ignore any indignities she put either of them through? Did they turn to each other for comfort? Did they uphold her rule about celibacy for her guard, or did they break it in secret? Or as Frost was her consort for a time, how did that affect his relationship with Doyle? Presumably it was before he became Doyle's second-in-command, so what was it like for Doyle, having to stand guard while Andais had her way with Frost? What happened that had Frost leaving Andais' bed and becoming a Raven? ...Or if you want to look to the future, and we assume that Merry remains mortal, it would be really fascinating to see their lives post-Merry, years after the events of the series are over and done with. I tend to read Frost's moods and insecurities differently than Merry, so I'd be happiest if he wasn't portrayed as petty, jealous and childish. As the novels are explicitly about Merry, I'd very much prefer the focus be on Frost and Doyle rather than their relationships to/with her. | letter |
| Galadriel | Ringer (TV) | Bridget Kelly, Andrew Martin | With this fandom, I am desperate to find out what happens post-series. I'm a shipper at heart, so ideally, I would love to see some closure for Bridget and Andrew, hopefully with a positive outcome for their relationship. (Again, any rating is good! High or low, Andrew/Bridget!) Is there some sort of reconciliation between Bridget and Andrew? How does that come about? Is it immediately after Bodaway's death, or does some time pass before they see each other again? If so, what's happened in the interim? Where do they go from there? Do they have a future together? If Andrew takes Bridget back as Bridget, how do they both deal with all of Siobhan's (figurative) baggage that she's left behind? Is it hard for Andrew to get up every morning and be with a woman who has his (ex-)wife's face? Is it like reliving his happier days with Siobhan or are the ghosts of resentments and betrayals always there? How do they get beyond that? Can they? Do Andrew's feelings about Siobhan colour Bridget's relationship with him? Is it difficult knowing that the man she loves sees her sister when he looks at her? What are the terms of their new relationship (if they have one)? Does Bridget move back in, or do they have to go slower? How do they deal with the people trying to kill Bridget? Is the jig, as they say, up? Does Bridget tell anyone else who she really is, or do they decide it's safer if she continues to pretend to be Siobhan? How does that complicate things with Andrew? Will they ever go through with the vow renewal, and if so, is it a sham or a real commitment between the two of them? Or if you'd rather, I would love to get some answers to the other questions on the show. Is it simple revenge for her child's death that had Siobhan wanting Bridget dead, or something bigger? Is Bridget finally safe, or are there still dangers out there? I just really, really want closure. Please help me find it! | letter |
| Galadriel | Sharpe (TV) | Richard Sharpe, Patrick Harper | I'd love a Sharpe/Harper slash story of any rating. I adore how artless the two of them are, and their genuine fondness for each other, born as it was out of a rocky start and grudging respect that's become something far more important over time. Perhaps you'd like to write a story about how their gruff fondness for each other manifests? Sharpe's not exactly a man of letters, and Harper's tongue is quick with a quip, but slow when it comes to more private sentiments, so how do they communicate their fondness for one another in other ways? If you enjoy writing heavy action or intricate plots, I'd love to see the two of them in the midst of battle, or having to pull off some sort of spying mission or scheme, whether against other armies or enemies inside British camps. How do they work/fight together in hairy situations? How does one react when the other is hurt (small or large injury, whatever you prefer!)? What's more important, the mission or the man? ...Or maybe you'd like to explore something further in the future? Sharpe's Challenge and Peril reunite Harper and Sharpe long after the Napoleonic Wars are over, and it seems like no matter their personal trajectories, Fate will always bring them back together again. How does that play out? Harper's been concerned from early on about "protecting" Sharpe from his own wandering eye, so is there a time when he finally puts his foot down and decides they're stuck together for good and ill, in peace as much as they ever were in war? Please, no Sharpe/Wellington slash. Whether the story is set in India, Portugal or Spain, I'll love it, I'm sure. | letter |
| galaxysoup | Westing Game - Ellen Raskin | I really loved this book as a kid and I was always interested by the characters in it. I would adore anything that delves into them a little more! Of particular interest are characters like Angela, Turtle, and Mrs. Hu, but I'd be thrilled with anything. I also have a fondness for friendship stories. | letter | |
| galaxysoup | The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. | There is so little fanfiction about this show that I would really be thrilled with anything! Go crazy. ;-) The idea of 'the coming thing' always sturck me as particularly fun, so that might be an avenue to explore. Otherwise, anything goes! | letter | |
| galaxysoup | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Samuel Vimes, Polly "Ozzer" Perks, Susan Sto Helit, Glenda (Discworld) | I love these books and I love these characters - to be honest, you'd probably have to make a specific effort to write anything I wouldn't like. Probably my biggest hankering is for anything that delves a little more into what any of these characters is like and what happens to them outside of the books - sequel, prequel, interquel, whatever. Pick one character, pick more than one character, whatever gets your muse going. Have fun! | letter |
| galaxysoup | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Mina (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | I thought Mina's character was fascinating and I'd love a look at what made her tick. I was so sad when she died and we never got to see what would happen with her next! Anything you'd like to do with her would be lovely - how she got to where she is, POV stuff, whatever. I just really liked her. | letter |
| galaxysoup | Nation - Terry Pratchett | This book was so great - really, anything you decide to do with it would be fantastic. I loved all the characters and the worldbuilding - anything exploring it a little would be fascinating. | letter | |
| galaxysoup | Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger | Professor Lyall, Genevieve Lefoux, Lord Akeldama | I was always particularly interested in the secondary characters in this series - not that I didn't love Alexia! - and I would love to see more about them. Professor Lyall was probably my favorite, but Madame Lefoux and Lord Akeldama were wonderful as well. Anything with them would be terrific! | letter |

| galerian_ash | Fly Daddy Fly (2005) | Park Sunshin, Suzuki Hajime | This is one of my favorite movies. I love everything about it; from the father-daughter bond, to the guys in the bus. But most of all I love the relationship between Sunshin and Hajime. And yes, I ship them like crazy! They're one of my absolute favorite pairings, to the point where I could analyze the smallest of details at length -- I won't do that though, so don't worry ;) I think it's pretty clear that Sunshin is really quite lonely. So the way he slowly gains respect for his pupil, and how that morphs into genuine companionship, is just wonderful to watch. Look at his secretly happy smile right after Hajime gives him the rock, for example! Hajime on his part has absolute faith in his teacher ("I... believe in you."), while also coming to deeply care about him. I'd love to see a fic set after the movie, because certain aspects of the ending simply break my heart. Please tell me they retained their friendship and still spent time together! I'd also really love to see a moment when Hajime is able to protect Sunshin, as per the request in the tree scene. | letter |
| galerian_ash | SP | Security Police (TV & Movies) | Ogata Soichiro, Inoue Kaoru | I feel like so much heartache could've been avoided if these two had just talked to each other. Ogata is the one who notices something is wrong with Inoue, immediately forcing him to go the hospital. And he knows damn well that Inoue is lying, when he says there was nothing wrong with him. What if he'd let Ogata in, sharing his problems and fears? Likewise, what if Inoue had actually pushed the issue and asked Ogata what was going on with the revolution? Inoue knows something is about to happen, and is determined to stop Ogata -- because that is what he wants Inoue to do. A part of me loves that silent understanding, but I'd love it even more if Inoue just talked to Ogata! I think they could've worked something out together; some alternative way of getting justice for Ogata's father, while perhaps also nailing all those corrupt politicians. They could've given solace to each other, and perhaps even love. | letter |
| galerian_ash | Cyborg 009 (anime 1979) | Joe Shimamura (Cyborg 009 (1979)), Jet Link (Cyborg 009 (1979)) | I first watched this series when I was around six years old, and it's remained my favorite anime ever since. I love almost every single character, including ones that only showed up in one episode. However, I couldn't nominate everyone, so Joe and Jet were my choice (partly because they've been an OTP of mine for such a long time now). That said, if you want some specific ideas... I'd love to see something episode-related, exploring the aftermath we so rarely got to see. There are many episodes I love, one of which is the 30th (the one with Joe's "father"). Since Jet was the only other cyborg who was present during the end -- and the one to stop Joe from killing himself, pretty much -- there's plenty of fodder to be had there. I'd also love to see a story exploring their pre-series life together, when they were friendly rivals in the racing world. | letter |
| galerian_ash | The Incredible Hulk (TV) | Jack McGee (The Incredible Hulk TV), David Bruce Banner (The Incredible Hulk TV) | Needless to say, I hate it when a series I love is canceled and thus gets no resolution. The Incredible Hulk is a perfect example of this; in fact, it's the one that has frustrated me the most throughout the years. I desperately want Jack to find out the truth about his John Doe! If David took a chance on him, how would he have reacted? Would he still have gone through with it all, or was there more to his obsession than just a story? Time and time again Jack saves David -- sometimes at the risk of his own life, while also forgoing the chance of capture. David does the same, risking exposure and losing what little normalcy he has left in his life (as in the unfilmed episode "The Trial Of Jack McGee"). It's heartbreaking that they made for such great friends in "Mystery Man", and I'd love to see them regain that someday. In fact, if you're into slash and feel like taking their relationship a step further, please do! | letter |
| galfridian | All Our Yesterdays - Cristin Terrill | Finn Abbott, Marina "Em" Marchetti | I have a weakness for time travel, so if you can incorporate that into your story, I'd be delighted. I prefer Finn/Marina as a couple, but will happily and eagerly read any story featuring them. Please feel free to include any of the other characters. A few optional prompts to go with the other optional details: - Before All Our Yesterdays, Finn and Marina tried (and failed) to stop the Doctor fourteen times. Tell me about a few of those. - In reference to the novel's upcoming sequel, the author has said, "The future didn't turn out quite the way [Marina and James] planned." I'd love your take on that. - The author has said that she got the idea for the book while watching Terminator on TV one night. That could be an awesome crossover/fusion. - Maybe something with a little less time travel and killer robots from the future: What else happens in the new timeline created by the end of the book? What do Finn and Marina do with their lives? |
letter |
| galfridian | Crossing Lines | Eva Vittoria, Sebastian Berger | Honestly, I'm not too interested seeing most of the other characters in fic, but you can include Tommy and/or Anne-Marie, if you'd like. Otherwise, I'm pretty much open to anything for this fandom as long as it features Eva and Sebastian. A few optional prompts to go with the other optional details: - Things were tense between Eva and Sebastian in the season finale because her former co-workers took hold of his software and were blackmailing him. I'd love to see how the rest of that situation plays out. - I'm so interested in Eva's life with La Cosa Nostra. Maybe some ghosts from that time in her life surface, maybe during an investigation in Italy. - Maybe a casefic where Eva and Sebastian are separated from the rest of the group and have to rely on each other to survive -- the soldier and the techie. |
letter |
| galfridian | Hart of Dixie | Lemon Breeland, Wade Kinsella | I love that this show is so silly and ridiculous but also has real heart (ha ha ha) and lovable characters. Wade and Lemon can both be particularly ridiculous and silly, and I love their dynamic. Running the Rammer Jammer together and having this fake dating plot are making my fall season, to be honest. I also really enjoy Tansy and Annabeth, so feel free to include them! A few optional prompts to go with the other optional details: - I'm dying a little over this fake relationship plot. I don't know how long it'll last, but regardless, I would absolutely love more of this. You know how this goes, Writer, fake dating leading to real feelings. And you just know Wade and Lemon would handle those feelings just so well. - I love that Lemon and Wade have known each other since high school. I know she was with George during that, but I would love to see a glimpse of just the two of them during that time. Romantic or not, that's your call. - Maybe something that does address the George and Tansy and Zoe of it all. Maybe one slightly drunk conversation at the Rammer Jammer late one night, maybe the two of them moving on from it. Anything! |
letter |
| galfridian | On the Jellicoe Road - Melina Marchetta | Tate Markham, Webb Schroeder | I'm most interested in the events that predate the book. I want to know more about the four (or five, if you include Jude) and their days together. I want to see more of Webb and Tate's relationship or what could have been if things had gone differently. Feel free to include Narnie, Jude, and/or Fitz, if you want to. A few optional prompts to go with the other optional details: - Tell me more about Webb and Tate's time together. What didn't the book show us? How did Tate survive the immediate aftermath of Webb's death? - In the book, Taylor often dreams of Webb as the boy in the tree. What if she isn't the only one to dream of him that way? - What if Webb had survived, but the loss of her sister and parents was still too much for Tate? What would have happened to Webb and Taylor? - Maybe just something with the four (or five). Maybe specifically on the night of the crash and the days immediately following. |
letter |
| galfridian | Tomorrow Series - John Marsden | Ellie Linton (Tomorrow Series), Homer Yannos (Tomorrow Series) | Another weakness of mine: Teens stumbling into adulthood by sparking and/or fighting a revolution. I love Ellie and Homer and the ways that they became leaders in these books. I don't have any real restrictions for this request except pleaaase do not include Lee unless he's absolutely essential to your story. I'm not a fan of him. Otherwise, you're golden. A few optional prompts to go with the other optional details: - Write a missing scene from the war, a time when Ellie came to Home for advice or comfort...or maybe more. - If you're into it, maybe a post-series AU. Ignore The Ellie Chronicles. Give me your spin on where Ellie's life went after the war. - Or you can write something post-series and canon compliant but with a focus on how these two leaders adjusted to life without a war, these two people who were so used to having each other near their whole lives. |
letter |
| gargamella | The Young Riders | Louise "Lou" McCloud | I'm really interested in what happened to Lou before and after the time of the show. Did she ever get reunited with her brother and sister? Did she and Kid live happily ever after? I like Kid/Lou and Lou/Rachel and Buck/Lou, but I don't like Jimmy/Lou. The only way I like Jimmy/Lou is if it's the kind of desperate "Oh no, Kid died in the war and I am going to make this really bad choice with a friend I love but not in that way" kind of fic. Which if you want to write is okay. It will break my heart, but I'm okay with that, Dear Yuletide writer. | letter |
| gargamella | Enchantment Emporium - Tanya Huff | Michael (Enchantment Emporium), David Gale | Michael and David really intrigued me. I shipped the two of them a lot. I also didn't care for Michael's friendship with Alysha, or the way that her aunts were ready to essentially take away his sexuality and ability to consent. I did like Charlotte and Jack, so if you wanted to write a big a/u where Charlie, Jack, David, and Michael are in a band together, that'd be cool. So would some David/Michael. | letter |
| gargamella | Iron Man: Armored Adventures | Pepper Potts (Iron Man Armored Adventures) | Pepper's desire to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent fills me with happiness. I would love Pepper being mentored by pretty much any female character you want. I'd love to see Maria or Natasha mentoring her, or even another comics-canon female agent making an appearance. I'm okay with Pepper/Tony if it's requited, but I'm not really okay with her pining after him if it's not. I'm also very much okay with Pepper/Maria or Pepper/any of the ladies. | letter |
| gargamella | All Kinds of Kinds (Song) | Phyllis (All Kinds of Kinds), Thomas (All Kinds of Kinds) | I'm absolutely interested in Thomas' story. Is zie trans*? Is zie genderqueer? What type of label does zie use? But it doesn't have to be "issue" fic, because I am also interested in Phyllis and Thomas and how they met. Tell me about how Thomas hates Republicans or how Phyllis is related to that acrobat mentioned in the first verse of the song. | letter |
| gargamella | Ultimate Comics Spider-Man | Clone Gwen Stacy (Ultimateverse) | I actually adore Gwen Stacy's story in this series. I like Gwen in general, so anything that you want to want to write with her will be awesome - het, gen or femslash. Maybe exploring what it's like to NOT think of herself as CLONE Gwen Stacy, for example. | letter |
| gargamella | 20th Century CE RPF | Margaret Countess of Snowdon (20th Century CE RPF) | I enjoy Margaret because she has zero fucks to give about anyone's idea about what was proper behavior for a princess. I am intrigued about Margaret/Peter Townsend and all the sneaking around there, but I will also take any femslash. | letter |
| Garonne | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | T. E. Lawrence | Lawrence gen or Lawrence/Ali would be very welcome. I'm just fascinated by Lawrence's character, contradictions and complexity. I'm not looking for or expecting fluff or a happy ending, but rather something in keeping with the tone of the film. If you go for slash, my preference would be for something understated and not too explicit, preferably with a good dose of UST (or RST, if you prefer!). You can also drawn on some details from A Dangerous Man: Lawrence after Arabia, if you like. I've also seen it. Lawrence/Faisal also welcome in that case. |
letter |
| Garonne | Sadler's Wells - Lorna Hill | Veronica Weston, Sebastian Scott | I was always frustrated that in the books, we got to see very little of their life after they finally married. I adored the dynamic of their interactions before they got together, and I'd love to see more of that. I'm sure it wasn't all roses, not with two rather highly-strung people, but of course it's their personalities, and in particular Sebastian's, that make them so fascinating. I'd love to see sparks fly between them, despite (or in some ways because of!) them being very much in love. A ballet/musical setting would be lovely. Something that brings to life the wild Northumberland backdrop would also be lovely. | letter |
| Garonne | All Creatures Great and Small - James Herriot | There are a whole host of different stories I'd enjoy in this fandom. James/Tristan is my particular favourite (before Helen is around - no infidelity, please!). I love James/Helen too (not explicit, please). A gen story in the light-hearted style of the books/TV series would also be wonderful and very welcome. I just love the personalities of the different characters (including Siegfried, whom I haven't mentioned yet, I know) and I'd like to see them come to life in whatever sort of tale you prefer to write. | letter | |
| Garonne | Wilby Wonderful (2004) | Duck McDonald, Dan Jarvis | This film makes me feel like these guys really deserve some happiness, and I'd love to see them get it. A happy-ever-after fic would be great. (Not too much fluff, please!) Something set before or during the film would be great too, if you prefer. In that case any kind of tone would be fine, dark or light. One thing I'd prefer not to receive: something that concentrates solely on Dan's suicidal period, particular from his POV. Referring to it is fine, of course -- I'd just rather not read an entire fic focussing on it. |

| genarti | Till We Have Faces (Song) | Narrator (Till We Have Faces (Song)), Narrator's Joy (Till We Have Faces (Song)) | This song is, I assume, based on the C.S. Lewis book of the same name, but what I'm really most curious about is an interpretation of it as a standalone song. If you divorce it from the book's context, what might the story there be? Who is the narrator? What happened to the narrator's joy (and is that a real person or not or what?) How much of this is literal, how much metaphorical, and to what extent does it matter? Basically anything you create out of this will fascinate me! I will say that I don't tend to see either of these characters (if they are in fact both people) as male, but I'm willing to be persuaded. The lyrics are at the bottom of the page at http://www.tracygrammer.com/little-blue-egg.html, by the way. |
letter |
| genarti | 飛鷹 | Silver Hawk (2004) | Lulu Wong | the Silver Hawk | Basically I just want hijinks! Anything in which Lulu continues to be gleefully badass will make me happy. Backstory? AWESOME. Post-canon? AWESOME! Seriously, anything that keeps with the tone of the movie will delight me. I only picked Lulu as a character because I definitely want her in the fic if at all possible, but don't feel you need to stick to only her. I love ensemble fics! I love teamwork! I love Lulu and Rich Man's bickery sibling relationship, and I love Kit's eager sidekicking, and I love Lisa Hayashi and how she tries to stick to actual procedure (unlike everyone else), and all the policewomen who mock Rich Man, and Lulu's extended adoptive family, and everyone. One note: I read Lulu and Rich Man as siblings, and would strongly prefer no romance between them. |
letter |
| genarti | Steerswoman Series - Rosemary Kirstein | Rowan (Steerswoman), Bel (Steerswoman) | Oh my god, this series. Anything that fits the feeling of the series will delight me, dear author. If you can capture the world and the society (or societies, if you're feeling ambitious), that is all I could ask. I selected Rowan and Bel as my characters, but honestly you can ignore that if you'd rather and give me one of the others (see below). I love Rowan and Bel's friendship -- maybe more of them? Or Steffie's Steersman training later, or a missing scene from canon or between canonical books? Or more about Zenna, or William's years with Corvus, or William on the ship later thinking about Rowan or Bel, or any of the townsfolk of Donner? Or an original character -- I would love to see a different character's view of things. Maybe another Steerswoman, with a different personality and path but the same dedication? Maybe another Outskirter, hearing Bel's song, or someone decades ago when Routine Bioform Clearance worked like it was supposed to? (One of the Face People?) Or something from a demon's POV, giving us more of their society and their revolutionary tumult? Whatever strikes your fancy! I love everyone. (A quick note: Another quick note: I don't really ship anyone in this series, although I enjoy the canonical romances even when they're doomed. But if you want to sell me on a ship, I'm probably willing to be sold; see my Yuletide letter for more details.) |
letter |
| genarti | The Tempest - Shakespeare | Ariel (The Tempest) | What interests me most in The Tempest are the tensions between power and humanity, isolation and society, responsibility and tyranny -- and the fantastical elements, throughout all of it. What would be dearest to my heart would be an Ariel story that really explores Ariel, that airy sprite who isn't and will never be human, and what it means to be him(/her/it/etc?) But you needn't write that if it doesn't suit your fancy -- how about Miranda, raised on that island, in her childhood or after the story ends and she comes to a normal human land? What is that brave new world like for her? How about Sycorax, about whom we know nearly nothing? Or Prospero, that old man, magician and autocrat and father, full of bombast and manipulation and contradictions? Be as metatextual as you like, whether it's entirely or not at all, and anything that explores the magic of this world (in any of its dimensions, and from any viewpoint, and at any time) will delight me. | letter |
| genarti | The Odyssey - Homer | Penelope (The Odyssey) | There are two (extremely broad) prompts here which are dear to my heart, and I'd be delighted with either of them. One is Penelope at home, during any point of those twenty years of Odysseus's war and journey. How did she hold down the fort? What did she think, what did she feel? Was she ever glad (or at least satisfied) to be solo? What was it like to raise Telemachus, and what was their relationship like? What was her support system like? Anything that puts the focus on Penelope will make me deeply happy. The other prompt -- which can, of course, be combined with the first if you like -- is the ever-popular reworking. I'd love to see the story of this journey in a different context -- a modern nation (doesn't need to be the USA, but could be), or another era of history, or whatever strikes your fancy. Just please don't make it 100% Odysseus-focused (though he can totally be there, and even have the most screentime; just, please take the other characters' agency seriously too) and do make the setting affect the characters' perceptions and assumptions. And if neither of these works for you, I'd also love something that gave us the inner life of any of the other minor female characters -- Scylla, or Charybdis, or Nausicaa, or Circe. All I ask is that it please not be entirely Odysseus-focused. He's a fascinating guy, but I want to see what their lives are like when he's not onscreen, whether before or after he stops by. |

| gentlezombie | A Song For Arbonne - Guy Gavriel Kay | Lisseut de Vezet, Blaise of Gorhaut | I'd absolutely love: Lisseut being Bertram's long-lost child and/or marrying Blaise, them getting married despite the difference in status, a solution to the political situation where Blaise does not become king, or anything to do with Lisseut's songs. I have so much love for these characters and Lisseut in particular - more about that in my letter! | letter |
| gentlezombie | Vellum - Hal Duncan | I didn't choose characters for this fandom, because there's a variety of things and characters I'd like to read about. I'd love to read something about Jack and Puck, because those two make me so happy and break my heart at the same time. Guy is fascinating, too - he's sort of a mastermind, but I'd like to read something more personal about his character. Feel free to include details from both Vellum and Ink if you want to! | letter | |
| gentlezombie | The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011) | Cesare Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)) | o many things to do with this fandom! I'd love to read anything with Cesare and Micheletto or Cesare and Macciavelli (who so fanboys him). The appearance of Leonardo da Vinci would make me ridiculously happy. Mixing show canon with historical canon is great if you want to do that! Again, more details in my letter. | letter |
| gentlezombie | Vikings (TV) | Athelstan (Vikings) | I would love a fic where Athelstan really adopts the viking culture and becomes a bad-ass warrior/storyteller/singer/mystic. This could be prompted by him entering into a three-way relationship with Ragnar and Lagertha. Or perhaps Floki takes him as an apprentice of sorts? | letter |
| gen_is_gone | Doctor Who: Eighth Doctor Adventures - Various Authors | Fitz Kreiner, Anji Kapoor, Compassion (Doctor Who), Iris Wildthyme | I'd love something exploring the companions' relationships with each other, rather than just reflected back from the Doctor.

| gen_is_gone | Emelan - Tamora Pierce | Briar Moss, Daja Kisubo, Trisana Chandler, Sandrilene fa Toren | I just want happy sibling-fluff, maybe interspersed with exploration of how magic works as they learn to use their powers. Pre-Circle Opens please. | |
| gen_is_gone | JourneyQuest | Rilk (JourneyQuest), Wren (JourneyQuest), Starling (JourneyQuest), Karn (JourneyQuest) | Anything funny really. And you could always feel free to include a few characters not in the tag, like Perf or Nara or Glorion or Carrow. | |
| gen_is_gone | Gallifrey (Big Finish Audio) | Romana II, Irving Braxiatel (Gallifrey), Leela (Doctor Who) | Faction Paradox attempt to convert Leela. What happens? If not, then just angsty Time War fic with as many gratuitous obscure EU cameos you can fit in. | |
| geri_chan | Aibou | Partners (TV) | Case fic or friendship fic between Ukyo and Kaoru or Kanbe or both; Itami being forced to work a case with the Special Mission team; Itami/Kanbe slash; for solo character prompts, anything about their past before joining the Special Mission team, or Itami working a case without Special Mission's interference. See my letter for more details. | letter | |
| geri_chan | Haru wo Daiteita | Embracing Love | Kikuchi and/or Onozuka scheming either for or against Iwaki and Katou, or maybe just playing a prank on them; Kikuchi/Onozuka slash; Iwaki and Katou fighting (and making up) over a misunderstanding; Katou wanting Iwaki to be more romantic; stories about any one of the character's pasts (such as the gay scandal that forced Kikuchi to move to the US, or Iwaki and Katou's porn careers, or why Onozuka became an actor). Or a story about any combination of characters working together on a movie or TV show. See my letter for more details. |
letter | |
| geri_chan | Foreigner Series - C. J. Cherryh | Bren Cameron, Jago (Foreigner) | I'd like to see Bren and Jago's relationship explored in more detail: how does a human/Atevi romance work when the Atevi don't believe in love--or do they, even if they don't call it "love" in the human sense of the word? Or a story dealing with Bren being an outsider in both human and Atevi societies, or a fic exploring more about Atevi culture. For something less meta, I'd love a story about Bren and Jago going a mission for Tabini, or just enjoying some time alone together. If you'd like to include other characters (such as Banichi), please feel free to do so! See my letter for more details. |
letter |
| geri_chan | Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms - Mercedes Lackey | iegfried/Leopold slash or friendship fic; post-canon fic about Siegfriend and Rosamund ruling Eltara together, or going on an adventure (with or without Leopold and/or Lily). Family bonding or friendship fic between Rosamund and Lily (either gen or femslash is okay). Solo prompts: pre-canon fic for any character, or have them go off a solo adventure. For Lily: worldbuilding fic where she researches the history of The Tradition, and possibly finds a way to negate it or better control it; or fic about her dealing with her Godmother duties. | letter | |
| geri_chan | Troubleshooters Inc. - Suzanne Brockmann | Jules Cassidy, Robin Chadwick Cassidy, Roger "Sam" Starrett | Jules/Robin romance, or a story about the two of them trying to juggle their relationship and their careers. Friendship fic between the three of them, possibly with Sam and Robin working out some of the tension due to Sam's initial disapproval of Robin. Sam bodyguarding Robin or working undercover in showbiz with Robin's help. Sam going undercover as a gay couple with Jules for a case, much to Robin's amusement--or maybe Robin is a little jealous. I love all the Troubleshooters characters, so feel free to include anyone else you want! See my letter for more details. |
letter |
| geri_chan | Usagi Drop | Bunny Drop | Kawachi Daikichi, Kaga Rin, Nitani-san, Nitani Kouki | Fix-it fic where Daikichi and Kouki's mom get together as a couple, or if you prefer to stick to canon, some father/daughter bonding between Daikichi and Rin, or both sets of families going on an outing or to a school event. If you want to focus more on Nitani-san and/or Kouki, I wouldn't mind learning more about Nitani-san--how she became a single mother and the challenges involved in raising a son alone. Please, no Daikichi/Rin pairing--I see them strictly as having a parent/child relationship. See my letter for more details. |

| Ghostie | Crusader Kings 2 (Video Game) | If you offered this thank you; I'm just glad I'm not the only one who plays it! I've lost countless hours to this game and love love love all the backstabbing and personality and diplomacy one can get up to- not to mention the odd non-historical things that can pop up (My favorite was a culturally east African Zoroastrian redhead ruling Sicily). I'm also intrigued by the storytelling opportunities of the Sunset Invasion, if that floats your boat (pun very much intended). | letter | |
| Ghostie | Lee and Andy Allen v. Neptune Underwater Expeditions (Mock Trial Legal Case) | OMG if we matched on this I'd be pretty amazed; I'd long ago resigned myself to the fact that there are no fannish mockers. If you have done mock trial and read the case, literally anything you can think of would be appreciated for fic, I'm starved for it. I've thrown together a few prompts in my letter just in case you want some ideas though! Also, feel free to pick other characters if you'd like, I just picked four of the most noteworthy ones! Good luck! | letter | |
| Ghostie | The Moon's Revenge - Joan Aiken | This was perhaps my favorite picture book as a child and when I found my old copy recently I knew I had to request it for yuletide. I adore the magic and mystery and loose ends of the story, and would love to hear your explanations for some of the mysteries of the book. Also, anything with Octavia! See my letter for more specific prompts. | letter | |
| Ghostie | Old Kingdom - Garth Nix | The Disreputable Dog | I adore this series! I love the magic, history, and worldbuilding of the books and am especially curious about Kibeth/The Dog. I'd love to read a story about her early days during the forging of the charter, or her escapades through the ages, or perhaps the thoughts going through her head and her interactions with Mogget during the books. Ratings and pairings (or lack thereof) are up to you! I've included a few prompts in my yule letter, but feel free to go in your own direction! | letter |
| Ghostie | Pocahontas (1995) | A fellow Pocahontas fan! The reasons I love this movie are twofold: it's enchantingly beautiful, and it's bittersweet. Anything that delves into either or both aspects would be heartily appreciated. I've written a few prompts on my journal, but once again feel free to write whatever inspires you! | letter | |
| Ghostie | Myths Over Miami (Article) | I remember reading this article years ago and finding it haunting; it stuck in my head and I remembered it instantly when it popped up on the internet a few months ago. If you choose to write this please be respectful about it, but I really want to hear more about the characters the children created. I'm excited to see what you come up with! | letter | |
| ghostied | Now You See Me (2013) | J. Daniel Atlas, Jack Wilder | I think Atlas and Jack have such an interesting dynamic - I'm a sucker for hero worship/mentor stories, and I'd love something like that with the two of them. Jack obviously admires Atlas, and Atlas really couldn't care less - or so he'd have everybody believe. Seeing the growth of their dynamic over the missing year of the film would be awesome - there's so much potential for anger and frustration, admiration and respect, and even smut. I'd love to see something primarily focused on the two of them, with the other two Horsemen in the background, too. More details in my letter! | letter |
| ghostied | Being Human (US/Canada) | Aidan Waite, Sally Malik, Josh Levison | As cool as the supernatural elements are on this show, what I love the most are these three roommates. I love the way their friendships have grown and the way they protect and take care of each other, as well as the fun banter that goes on when they're not dealing with some paranormal crisis. Their 'kitchen scenes', as they're known, are my favourites. Something light-hearted would be lovely - they go through so much crap on the show that I'm craving fic happiness. I love all three roomies and fic about any combination of the three of them - be it friendship or something more romantic - is completely welcome. More details in my letter! | letter |
| ghostied | The Greatest (2009) | Rose (The Greatest), Bennett Brewer, Ryan Brewer | This movie absolutely destroys me every time I watch it - the love story here makes me ache. Watching Rose try to get to know her baby's father while his entire family is resentful and trying to push her away is so heartbreaking. I love these three characters that I've selected, and seeing more of them would be amazing. Be it pre-movie fic showing more of Rose and Bennett's short but incredible romance, or Rose and Ryan leaning on each other in the wake of Bennett's passing, or something focusing on Bennett and Ryan's tumultuous brotherly relationship... I'd be thrilled with any of these. I'm just dying for more about these characters. More details in my letter! | letter |
| ghostied | Warm Bodies (2013) | R (Warm Bodies 2013), Julie Grigio (Warm Bodies 2013) | "Warm Bodies" has this great mixture of humour, romance, and action, and the movie never fails to put me in a good mood. R completely charmed me, and I really love the way the film developed his relationship with Julie. More of these two would be fantastic - I'm thinking maybe something set after the movie, showing R's attempts at settling into a real human life with Julie after spending years as a zombie. Or maybe some missing scenes from the film - more of R and Julie's moments together on the plane or on their way back to the city, showing how they fall in love. Anything that captures the sweetness and humour of the movie would be amazing. More details in my letter! | letter |
| Giddygeek | Big Eden (2000) | Pike Dexter, Henry Hart | ||
| Giddygeek | Miranda (TV) | Miranda Hart, Gary Preston | ||
| Giddygeek | Orange is the New Black | Poussey Washington, Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson | ||
| Giddygeek | 21 Jump Street (2012) | Morton Schmidt, Greg Jenko | ||
| Gileonnen | The Great Mouse Detective (1986) | Professor Ratigan | What I want more than anything is a worldbuildy fic about the place of rats in mouse culture! Professor Ratigan is the only rat we ever get to see onscreen, and he's clearly got issues--he's self-loathing to the point where even mentioning that he's a rat causes him to cry out in dismay. He's notorious in the criminal underworld, but potentially also capable of garnering respect in mainstream mouse society (is he really a professor? how did he get his degree?). What I'd like to see is a portrait or even a snapshot of the society that made him the creature he is today. | letter |
| Gileonnen | Brat'ya Karamazovy | Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky | Mikhail Osipovich Rakitin | My favorite part about Mikhail Rakitin is that he's a determinedly upwardly mobile writer--of cheap love poetry, of newspaper articles, of documents designed to sell or to ingratiate him with the upper strata of his limited social circle. I want to see more about what happens to him during or after the novel, with a focus on how he collects testimony and tailors stories to his audiences. (And if you wanted to write me a little recovered!Ivan/conniving!Mikhail, I would not complain. I would do the opposite of complain.) | letter |
| Gileonnen | Kalevala - Elias Lönnrot | Louhi | I would be happy with ANYTHING in this fandom, honestly, although Louhi is my primary interest. I really want to see Louhi and Lemminkäinen's mother meet up, after Lemminkäinen's suit fails and he is torn to pieces and scattered over the Lake of Tuonela--but I also want to see MUSICAL WIZARD DUELS between Louhi and Joukahainen, and I'd even be interested to see Louhi consulting with Aino's spirit when Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen come to court--'What kind of men are they? Would they be kind to a daughter of my house?' If you're just not feeling inspired to write about Louhi, though, never fear! I would love just about anything in this fandom, including Lemminkäinen/Joukahainen or a story about Aino and the sea-maidens finding the Sampo after it falls into the sea. I do ask, though, that you not write me Väinämöinen/Aino unless SHE comes to HIM on HER terms. I'm not into the forced-marriage trope. | letter |
| Gileonnen | Vikings (TV) | Athelstan (Vikings) | In the very first scene of Vikings, Ragnar observes the gods upon the battlefield. This is a fictional world where the gods are immediate, manifest, present and responsive in the lives of those who serve them--always closest where birth and death brush against mortal lives. Late in the season, Athelstan is nearly offered as a sacrifice to them. Only his carefully-guarded Christian faith saves him (or, depending on how one reads his understanding and willingness to serve in that sequence, condemns him). His forced acculturation is one of the major themes of the show, and I'd like to see a story about how and whether his beliefs change when he meets a god in the waking world. | letter |

| Giraffegirl | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman | Lyra Belacqua, Will Parry, Kirjava, Mary Malone | ||
| giraffeofpaper | Arrested Development | George Oscar 'Gob' Bluth, Tony Wonder, Maeby Funke, George Michael Bluth | I love both these pairings (but not creepy little-kid GM/M - prefer more modern with a lovely OS mustachioed [mustache actually optional because creepy] GM haha). If you choose to do this you don't need to do both blunder and GM/M although extra kudos to you if you do - I'd like either or! Don't really want straight porn, although a porny element would be fine. Basically whatever you want. I am flexible! Blunder is a beautiful thing but there IS more blunder fic than GM/M out there, so really I'd be good either way. | letter |
| giraffeofpaper | Parks and Recreation | April Ludgate, Andy Dwyer, Leslie Knope, Ben Wyatt | Love both these pairings - you would not need to do both unless you wanted to! I'd love a fun Andy/April role-playing fic though, perhaps with them playing out a situation (similar to as they did in the show) and perhaps having it turn a little farther than just playful (although I don't want a straight porn fic). Leslie and Ben are awesome too, so feel free to run wild with it! | letter |
| giraffeofpaper | Let's Go to Prison (2006) | Barry (Let's go to Prison), Nelson Biederman IV | There is never enough Barry/Nelson Biederman IV fic in the world. Whatever delight you could bring to this teeny fandom would be amazing and beloved. Something cute | letter |
| giraffeofpaper | Running Wilde | Steve Wilde, Fa'ad Shaoulian, Emmy Kadubic | Don't need to use all three characters, but please please include Steve (because Steve is my baby and 90% of the reason I love this show). | letter |

| gloria_scott | Gladiator (2000) | Maximus Decimus Meridius | I have a serious and under-indulged gladiator fetish, so some gladiator-on-gladiator action would be awesome. However, if that's not your thing, any of the alternatives would be just as welcome. - Gladiator porn. Just straight up M/M porn about whatever they've got going on between bouts in the arena - the raunchier and filthier the better. PWP is fine. I don't have any preferred pairings, but I'd like to keep it between gladiators, so no Maximus/Commodus. Although if you wanted to do a dub-con gladiator orgy orchestrated and watched by Commodus, that would be grand. - Maximus' influence on Lucius - what impact did he have on the man Lucius eventually became? - Post-death reunion between Maximus and his wife and son - as angsty and heart-wrenching and/or as joyful as you'd like to make it. I am a total sucker for post-death reunions. |
letter |
| gloria_scott | Lungs (Album) | This one is really author's choice, because the prompts are the songs, however you care to interpret them. Existential exploration of death? Human sacrifice (literal or metaphorical)? Werewolf lovers? It's all good. - My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor | Kings and queens; they've all knocked on his door | Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves | They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please - Here I am, a rabbit-hearted girl | Frozen in the headlights | It seems I've made the final sacrifice - I took a knife and cut out her eye | I took it home and watched it wither and die | Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile | That's why she sleeps with one eye open | That's the price she paid - My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in | You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl | My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in | You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to | Howl |
letter | |
| gloria_scott | Lolita (1997) | Dolores Haze (Lolita) | What I'd love to see is something from young Dolores' POV. This film, like the book, is tight on Humbert's POV. I'd like something that gives Dolores agency, that explores her thoughts and feelings about Humbert and any of the major events of the film - her relationship with her mother, her mother's death, Humbert's lecherous betrayal, her "escape" to Clare Quilty, etc. Pretty much anything Dolores-centric, please. | letter |
| gloria_scott | Wallander (UK TV) | Kurt Wallander (Wallander (UK TV)) | I'm particularly interested in stories focused on Kurt's various relationships: - His often troubled relationship with his daughter Linda, and/or anything having to do with her suicide attempt. - There is a lovely scene in Before the Frost where Kurt's walking with Linda and he tells her that when he goes for walks alone, he often talks to the trees along his way as if they were people in his life that he's lost. So one is his father, one his mother, one is Svedberg, etc. I'd love a story about Kurt talking to the trees. - Kurt/Vanja - Something exploring her decision to move in with him, her decision to move out, and/or some domestic scenes (although not too fluffy, this is Wallander we're talking about). - If slash is more your thing, I'm kind of picky about slashing Kurt with anyone, but here are a few options. My long-standing OTP for him is Kurt/Lestrade (BBC Sherlock). So if you wanted to give that a go - rock on! Just make sure Sherlock and John are either not featured at all or are in the background - don't want them overshadowing things. It should still firmly be a Wallander story. Another option: an angsty, unrequited Kurt/Svedberg would be quite interesting, with Kurt being solidly oblivious to poor Svedberg's pining. Please stay away from Kurt/Magnus, though - I just don't see it with those two. |
letter |
| gloria_scott | Wallander Series - Henning Mankell | Kurt Wallander (Mankell) | - This is where I get greedy and ask for case fic - I know (having attempted it myself) that it's not an easy thing to write, so just throwing that out there if you feel up for it. - Wallander seems to have a lot of respect for Anne-Britt. I'd like to see something about his mentoring of her, and/or anything where they work a case together and he is impressed by her. Could be his POV or hers. - Why was his father so against him becoming a police officer, anyway? - Kurt goes out dancing to pick up chicks. - Or maybe he goes out dancing to pick up gents? Had a fling with the post boat captain in One Step Behind? Or with his pal Sten Widen, when they were young and would listen to opera in the stables and dream of making a career in the opera? Just as above, if you go the slash route no Wallander/Magnus, please. |
letter |
| gloria_scott | Wizards and Warriors (TV) | Dirk Blackpool | I'd love a Dirk-centric fic along these lines: - Episode 6 - Caverns of Chaos has one of my favorite tropes - the mortal enemies joined together (in this case, literally) for a common cause or to defeat a common foe. So I'd like a story using that trope - preferably not a re-hash of the episode, but a different scenario altogether. I'm open to whatever you come up with. And I'm even going to waive my usual "no mpreg" rule for this, because it just occurred to me that a magically mpreg-ed Dirk, with Erik helping to either deliver the baby or find a cure before he actually goes into labor, could be hilarious. - If you want to go the slashy route, a young Dirk/Erik fic with Dirk's affections being unrequited (possibly leading to their fall-out - in one of the episodes above, it's mentioned that they grew up together). - Pretty much anything else you would like to do in this universe, so long as it's primarily focused on Dirk. |

| Gnomad | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | Thomas Nightingale, Peter Grant (Rivers of London) | I've always read Nightingale as a queer character and I'd love to see that explored more, either through his relationship with Peter or with someone else. Barring that something around magical world building, everyday London, and the antics around magical policing would be fun. | |
| Gnomad | Marketplace Series - Laura Antoniou | Chris Parker (Marketplace), Imala Anderson | I would love a story that explores Anderson's backstory in more explicit (and porny) detail. The books spend a fair bit of time going through the backstory of Chris and Anderson (which is awesome and would be fun to incorporate), but Anderson's story has remained purposefully vague. How did she find the marketplace? How was she trained? If that's not something that would work for you, I'd love a story focusing on Chris. | |
| Gnomad | Walking Your Octopus: A Guidebook to the Domesticated Cephalopod - Brian Kesinger | Otto (Walking Your Octopus), Victoria Psismall | I'd really love a fic detailing all the more...intimate...ways Otto helps Victoria. If that's not your cup of tea, anything involving steampunk shenanigans and the two of them would be lovely. | |
| Gnomad | Jameson Irish Whiskey "Legend" Commercial | Octopus (Jameson Irish Whiskey Commercial), John Jameson (Jameson Irish Whiskey Commercial), Whiskey (Jameson Irish Whiskey Commercial) | Jameson had to get his cask of whiskey back somehow. I would love to see a version where he didn't kill the octopus to get it back. | |

| gogollescent | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | I'd really like something with Stephen and Diana, or Sophie later on in the series after Diana dies. Alternatively, any sort of not-entirely-happy look at Jack and Stephen during one of the darker moments in their friendship. OR a silly space AU. See letter for... further... indecisiveness. | letter | |
| gogollescent | Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis | Kivrin Engle, James Dunworthy | Kivrin/Dunworthy is a guilty pleasure, but not one I ask you to sample; mostly, I'm just interested in their friendship, particularly in the aftermath of their respective disastrous drops. | letter |
| gogollescent | Hilary Tamar Mysteries - Sarah Caudwell | I would eat up anything for this canon, but Hilary is my favorite, and I have a soft spot for Julia/Selena in despite of all reasonable barriers. | letter | |
| gogollescent | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke | Stephen Black, Arabella Strange | Anything with the captives of Faerie--Stephen, Arabella, Emma Pole. Doesn't matter whether it's set within the timeframe of the book or outside it, at the uneasy reunion. | letter |

| Gramarye | Anno 1790 | I'm most interested in missing scenes or deeper exploration of characters, involving whatever aspect of their lives might be of most interest to explore. Possible starting points include Magdalena's work as a midwife and the conflicts she feels about her role in society, Dåådh bringing more of his army experience into his casework (and perhaps his thoughts on the difficulties of completely leaving the battlefield behind him), and Simon's struggles with both alcoholism and his faith. | letter | |
| Gramarye | Das Leben der Anderen | The Lives of Others (2006) | I'm most interested in missing scenes or backstory ideas that will flesh out the lives of Gerd Wiesler, Georg Dreyman, and/or Christa-Maria Sieland, and how their stories became so entangled. What made Christa-Maria want to become an actress, and what drew her to work with Georg and the others of their circle? What works did Georg and Albert Jerska collaborate on before Jerska was blacklisted? What other cases did Gerd work on before the Dreyman-Sieland case that might have started to tip his sympathies against the East German regime? | letter | |
| Gramarye | Eve no Jikan | Time of Eve | Further explorations of the nature of humanity from the various human and nonhuman characters would be excellent. How does someone like Akiko look at Rina and Kouji, or Rina look at Nagi? How often does Nagi have to hold back what she really wants to say when Rikuo makes some unthinking comment about androids? What other aspects of the similarities and differences between humans and nonhumans are worth looking at? Alternately, any additional world-building for the series would be more than welcome. | letter | |
| Gramarye | コクリコ坂から | Kokuriko-zaka Kara | From Up on Poppy Hill (2011) | The clean-up of the Quartier Latin must have produced some fascinating items and hidden or forgotten treasures amongst all the dust and cobwebs and crumbling papers that had built up over the years. I'd love to see a story about something unexpected that Umi, Shun, and Shirou found while they and their classmates worked on the cleaning, and what they did with it. (Bittersweet and funny stories are equally welcome!) | letter | |
| Gramarye | Millennium Actress (2001) | We see Chiyoko in her many roles, but we don't always see the time and effort that she puts into developing her characters. As the Heian-era princess or the wartime nurse or the futuristic space explorer, she brings something magical and distinct to every role -- it's a big part of what draws Genya to her. How does she see herself as an actress, compared with how Genya (as the self-insert/audience avatar) and Ida (as the cameraman/dispassionate observer) see her? | letter | |
| Gramarye | Toshokan Sensou | Library War | What is it like to be a librarian in Toshokan Sensou Japan? How to do you cope with the knowledge that you are on the firing line in a battle against the government -- that you're something of a rebel just because you show up to work every day? We know what incident prompted Iku Kasahara to join the Library Force, but what encouraged her fellow librarians to sign up for a career that in their world is as dangerous as joining the military, if not more so? World-building thoughts and missing scenes are particularly loved; gen-fic greatly preferred. | letter | |
| grangerbutstranger | The Ghosts of Ashbury High - Jaclyn Moriarty | Lydia Jaackson-Oberman | This is a case of the more cameos the better, but it's also a case of Lydia Is Better Than Everyone, so really feel free to use whatever characters you wish! I'd love a future fic with Lydia at university, with or without Emily and Cassie, and it's up to you whether you want to include Seb at all. Alternately, fic about the Cassemlyds in years past or Lydia's interactions with other members of the Ashbury student body (coughBindycough) are always good. | letter |
| grangerbutstranger | The Montmaray Journals - Michelle Cooper | I'm so torn on this one--do I want fic about my great love Sophie? My idol Veronica? My OTP Simon and Toby? Future fic is encouraged for this one, but I'd also love an alternate POV during one of the books. I love the atmosphere of these books, especially the way they incorporate historical context, so I'd love to see some of that. | letter | |
| grangerbutstranger | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | I ship Hansel/Gretel (it's one of my very few incest ships), but I'm also perfectly happy with a platonic relationship, as long as they're the focus. You can go as campy and funny as the movie or as dark as the ideas behind it, just give me some more H&G adventures. | letter |
| grangerbutstranger | Twelfth Night - Shakespeare | Viola | Cesario (Twelfth Night) | Go wild. Give me an AU, give me a retelling from a specific perspective, queer it up, give me a sequel--as long as it features Viola and some romantic mishaps, we're good. | letter |
| grangerbutstranger | Arrested Development | A Maeby/Ann story? George Michael starting college before season four? GOB and Tony's misadventures in magic? Anything you want to write for this show, really. | letter | |
| grangerbutstranger | Parks and Recreation | Leslie Knope, Ann Perkins, Ben Wyatt | OT3 or friendship fic between Leslie and her two favorite people, ensemble piece, or a crossover/AU/fusion--Pawnee and Night Vale could meet, for example. | letter |
| grassangel | The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern | I fell in love with Night Circus via the Failbetter game first, so I'd really enjoy exploring the circus, the attractions and the people who work them. Exploring how Bailey brought the circus through to the present with the email address and so forth would also be interesting. If exploring ships is more your thing, I ship all the obvious ones (Celia/Marco, Hinata/Tsukiko, Bailey/Poppet/Widget) and a slightly more obscure one (Celia/Isobel), but my absolute favourite is Bailey/Poppet/Widget. I want to see how those three work and what Poppet and Widget do at the circus now they've grown up and what Bailey's job entails. |

| grassangel | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Mina (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | There's all of two seconds interaction between Mina and Gretel in the extended cut, but something with those two characters would be awesome. I don't care if it's AU, smut or gen, if it's simply Mina asking Gretel about her brother or Mina teaching Gretel how to use magic. Just something with the two of them, as I believe there was a missed opportunity in the movie for them to talk to each other. I'm also interested in Adrianna's story and Hansel and Gretel's childhood, so fluff or backstory is also welcome. If you'd rather write something about Hansel, I steadfastly believe that men can be witches too. (I'm also a-okay with a Hansel/Gretel/Mina relationship.) I'm okay with Hansel/Gretel incest, although I'm not entirely sold on penetrative sex between them especially if contraceptive teas or spells aren't involved. (I know sheep gut condoms were a thing, but they were sewn up and were reusable to an extent. If you're completely fine with the movie having insulin and folding shotguns, contraceptive teas and spells are entirely plausible.) Much more interesting however is their relationship in the face of witch hunting. |
letter |
| grassangel | Wallander (UK TV) | Anne-Britt Hoglund (Wallander (UK TV)) | I'd prefer something non-angsty relating to Anne-Britt before the events of season 3, but anything to do with the team at Ystad police station would be welcome. | letter |
| grassangel | Doctrine of Labyrinths - Sarah Monette | The Kalliphone and her husband. Thamuris. Methony. Joline. I'd be happy with any in depth exploration of those. Brotherly fluff is another thing I'm a huge fan of. Something a little happier and less angst that canon. After Corambis or maybe there were some times in those years in the Mirador they spent together that weren't too bad. I'm okay with incest in this fandom too, however I'm against penetrative sex here as well. Mostly because it'd utterly fuck up their relationship and I kind of just like them hugging each other and maybe kissing and giving each other handjobs. I'd also be mildly interested in seeing AU takes on the series and crossovers. French revolutions/Les Mis fusion-AU or exiled-from-exile-in-England to a lighthouse in New England (and thus Sleepy Hollow) if I'm being very specific in crossovers/AUs. But anything from daemon AU to modern day bookshop AU would be okay. (Just no gang/Mafia AUs or chef/food service AUs.) |
letter | |
| grassangel | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Dorothy "Dot" Williams, Phryne Fisher | Female friendship! I don't care if you do something platonic or non-platonic, I love their protectiveness of each other. Jane and Mac are also welcome, as is Hugh. Dot/Hugh is the most ridiculously adorable thing ever and Dot getting flustered over Phryne giving her advice/giving her a dress which is just a bit too short/etc. is similarly entertaining. (Just no... explicit advice or demonstration? Partially because I don't think I could get over my second hand embarrassment for Dot...) |

| Gray Cardinal (Gray_Cardinal) | The Lastborn of Elvinwood - Linda Haldeman | Tom Heaton | I'm especially intrigued by the Vicar's back story, especially given his occult interests. What's his history with Merlin? Did he introduce Marian to the Fernlord's court, or did she recruit him? Had he any prior reason to suspect Ian's potential? | letter |
| Gray Cardinal (Gray_Cardinal) | My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle | Megan Williams | For me, it was always about Megan...and the adventure of it all. Of all the MLP stories, this is the one that balances light moments and epic sword-and-sorcery with astonishing deftness. I've been waiting for decades for someone to capture that contrast again. | letter |
| Gray Cardinal (Gray_Cardinal) | Planet Builders - Robyn Tallis | Daphne deVries | Of all the PB ensemble, I am especially fond of Daphne (how could I not like a fellow theater buff with that much style?); she really should have had more stage time than she got. Show her pre-canon, during canon, long after canon; partner or pair her as you think proper; just give her a chance to shine. Bonus points for actual theatrical content. | letter |
| Gray Cardinal (Gray_Cardinal) | Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century | Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century), Beth Lestrade (Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century) | The dynamic between Holmes and Lestrade in this canon fascinates me, because given the chance it could go in so many different directions. Romance? Clearly possible, but hardly the only option. Let's see how they interact when sleuthing isn't part of the equation. | letter |
| Gray Cardinal (Gray_Cardinal) | Stealing the Elf-King's Roses - Diane Duane | Lee Enfield | Either pre-canon (how did Lee choose her profession, and how did she become successful in it?) or post (featuring either Lee's personal or professional life) would be entirely welcome, with or without Gelert and/or the Laurin. | letter |
| Gray Cardinal (Gray_Cardinal) | Velveteen - Seanan McGuire | Celia Morgan (Velveteen - Seanan McGuire) | Goodness knows Gov. Morgan expected trouble with the Super Patriots when she granted Vel sanctuary, but she can't have expected to land in the middle of a full-on superheroic war zone. How does she cope, does she have regrets, and is she ready for the amount of pure clockwork chaos Victory Anna leaves in her wake? | letter |
| Gray Shadows (the_afterlight) | Young Wizards - Diane Duane | Ronan Nolan, Carmela Rodriguez | o I basically ask for these guys every year, because while I've gotten them a couple of times already, there is never -- NEVER -- enough fic about them! :D That said: I do not ship them, inasmuch as I generally don't think about them as a romantic couple; I generally ship Ronan with Kit, or poly as Ronan/Kit/Nita, and I don't have a Carmela OTP. (I wouldn't object to romance about the two of them, though! It's just generally not my first thought about them.) What I'd absolutely love to see: fic with Carmela and Ronan being Awesome together, in some way, shape or form. In previous years, I've specifically requested Kit/Ronan (shippy or non-shippy) on errantry, with Carmela tagging along, and that's a permutation I continue to love. Or! Carmela and Ronan at the Crossings, Carmela visiting Ronan in Ireland... Basically anything where they interact in awesome fun ways. If you'd like to get a sense of how I view them, I've both written and received fic about them in the past that covers it pretty well, but don't feel obligated or anything like that -- one of the things I love about fandom in general and these characters in particular is all the different ways they're viewed, so if you've got a solid headcanon, I'd much rather see that than you trying to fit into mine! One thing about my headcanon that is pretty firm is that both Carmela and Ronan are non-straight; Carmela is pretty insistently omnisexual in my head, while Ronan trends towards homosexual->bisexual->pansexual depending on circumstances/the fic in question. That's not to say I'm going to be upset if that's not addressed in the fic, I'd just much rather they not be declared as exclusively heterosexual. Generally speaking, I view Carmela as something of a force of nature and Ronan as perfectly willing to go along with her while strong enough to hold his own. The fun comes in the particular direction in which she's pointed! |
letter |
| Gray Shadows (the_afterlight) | Shelter (2007) | Zach (Shelter) | Oh, Shelter, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! Everything about this movie makes me happy, but especially the way that it treats family: the way that Tori and Gabe are more Zach's family than Jeanne ever was, the way that Zach and Shaun and Cody forge their own family together... Found Family is kind of a major kink for me, and this movie hits it in all the right ways. What I'd absolutely love to see: post-movie fic that explores Zach and Shaun building their life together with Cody, particularly fic that pulls the rest of their family (especially Tori and Gabe!) into the picture. If that's not your cup of tea, how about Shaun-POV fic during the movie, or Zach in high school (not) dealing with being attracted to another guy? Or Zach and his mother, before she dies -- or even what his life would be like if she'd never died. (Full disclosure: I have received that particular request before, in a previous year, and it was absolutely amazing, but I'm fascinated by the possible permutations here, all the ways things could have gone with his mother still around, and would LOVE to see a different take on it.) One thing I really can't deal with in his fandom is angst/darkfic; it's my Happy Place Movie. That's not to say that I don't want any conflict or anything, and if you're looking at high school!Zach I'm assuming he's going to be stressed/frustrated/etc., but if you're looking at his mother I'd much rather you not deal in too much detail with her death. Ultimately, this movie is about family to me, so if you're exploring that theme in some way, I'm going to be happy. :D |
letter |
| Gray Shadows (the_afterlight) | Sky High (2005) | Will Stronghold, Warren Peace, Layla Williams | oooooo this was one of the first movies where I really properly OT3'd anything -- I slashed Will/Warren liekwhoa back in the day, think that Will and Layla are adorable together, and love the chemistry between Layla and Warren. The ways in which each of the relationships between the individual pairs that make up their trio balance each other /really well/, and I don't think it's a big step (assuming the boys are, in fact, male-attracted) to see them ending up in a romantic relationship together. What I'd love to see: late high school or after graduation, especially with established or developing OT3, but mostly the three of them balancing a life together (in whatever permutation), because whether they're all romantic together or not I can't see them being anything other than some variety of /unit/, at least at that phase of their lives. Maybe the three of them are fighting supercrime together? Or Will and Warren are superheroes and Layla's off doing her own thing and that's causing tension, or Will and Warren think it's causing tension and Layla's all, "WTF, no, guys, we talked about this, I'm fine, seriously," or just. Anything. With them. Being them. Prom! Exams! OH MY GOD SENIOR YEAR FINAL EXAMS AT SKY HIGH WOULD BE HILARIOUS. And probably deadly. So that'd be awesome, too. If OT3's not your thing, I'd rather that any shippy stuff not be front-lined; I'm not about to object to Will/Warren or Will/Layla (or even Warren/Layla), but I'd prefer it not to be the focus of the fic if you're not going the OT3 direction. Like I said, I see Will, Layla, and Warren as being really well-balanced; no matter what they're doing, if that balance comes through you've written the perfect fic for me. |
letter |
| Gray Shadows (the_afterlight) | Get Real (1998) | Steven Carter (Get Real) | The first gay-themed movie I ever watched was Get Real; I rented it one weekend in high school (probably around 2000 or 2001) and must have watched it four or five times before taking it back. There is so much DRAMA~ in it at times that it's actually kind of hilarious, and it falls into some of the typical Gay Movie tropes of wangst and such, but it holds a special place in my heart just for being the /first/ for me. You never forget your first. ;) What I'd love to see: obviously, since I requested him, something focused on Steven! I'm especially interested in things that happen after he and John first get together, whether during the period where they're... I'm not sure I can honestly call it dating, but whatever they're doing, or later, after the awards ceremony and Steven's public coming out. I love Steven's mother and would be interested in seeing their relationship developing (becoming closer (again?)?) after Steven comes out. Steven off to college, meeting other guys, meeting John again, something like that? Or maybe happy Steven/John moments during the period they're together -- it might be fun to see more of their time at John's that weekend his parents are away. I'm not particularly interested in Steven pre-John; I've /been/ Steven pre-John, and it's not something I'm overly interested in revisiting. (Admittedly, my 'John' was an entirely different kind of situation, but the end result was remarkably similar.) Mostly, I'd love to see however you think of Steven, especially Steven being happy. |
letter |
| Gray Shadows (the_afterlight) | Stick It (2006) | Frank (Stick It), Poot (Stick It) | I have a major soft-spot for fun movies starring angry women overcoming their own worst enemy (especially when that enemy is themselves). I love even more when those women have sassy friends. (And, okay, I love it the most when those sassy friends are gay, or REALLY EASY TO SLASH. Frank and Poot definitely fall into the latter category.) What I'd love to see: definitely what I'm hoping for most here is Frank/Poot slash. Not necessarily (or even particularly) smut, but something that involves them being themselves with the added component of kisses! That said: I totally, totally understand if you're not a slash fan, so ultimately what I'm looking for is Frank and Poot at their Frank-and-Poot-iest, which means SHENANIGANS!, basically. :D Maybe something while Haley's off at Burt's and they're on their own? Or before Haley, or with Haley, or after she's a famous gymnast and they're all, "Uh, no, we're with Haley Graham, we're totally on the list, and if we're not, we're totally coming in anyway." Or. Something. I just love them, okay? :D I would prefer that, if you're not comfortable slashing them, you ignore the subject completely; that is, please don't state outright that they're completely straight? Frank and Poot make me giggle with delight, so you can pretty much assume that if you have them doing /anything/, your fic will make me giggle with delight, too. |
letter |
| Gray Shadows (the_afterlight) | Practical Magic (1998) | Bridget "Jet" Owens, Frances Owens | PRACTICAL MAGIC. Unf. So much love for this movie -- one of my Hallowe'en Trilogy (along with Hocus Pocus and The Craft), and possibly my favorite of the three. You'll notice that a few of my requests deal with different variations on the theme of family, and this is no different; more than anything, what I love about Practical Magic is the family bonds between the Owens. What I'd love to see: the aunts as 'mothers', either to Gillian and Sally, or to Kylie and Antonia. Or! Jet and Frances on their own, bantering back and forth, or an exploration of the various spells they do for the townspeople, or... You get the idea, I think. ;) One of the things I love most about the movie (and presumably the book, although I haven't read it) is that it does really well with the folk-lore and folk magic, but more in the sense of, "This is something that feels like it could reasonably be a part of those tradiitions," rather than, "This is something that SLAVISHLY ADHERES to this material I've researched." So anything with that would be fun, but most especially in the sense of, "I am exploring and expanding and having fun with the magic side of things." SERIOUSLY DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF RESEARCH INTO FOLK MAGIC TRADITIONS. I'm not overly fond of Gary, so if you're writing during the period of the movie or after, I'd prefer he be sidelined rather than front-and-center, but otherwise feel free to use any other characters you want in significant roles. I love this movie, and I love this family, and anything you write about them will make me happy. |
letter |
| Greekhoop | As I Lay Dying - William Faulkner | Darl Bundren, Jewel Bundren | I'm primary interested in the weird, dark, mysterious dynamic between these two. Though I would love some slash (anything from G to NC-17 in rating), if you're not comfortable with incest fic a gen story that explores their relationship would also be amazing. | letter |
| Greekhoop | Grave Encounters (Movies) | lance preston, Sasha Parker | Even though this movie is primarily a good ghost story, I don't think it would have worked as well without the genuinely likable characters. The perfect story for me would balance characterization, psychological horror, and mean ghosts running amok. | letter |
| Greekhoop | Haywire (2011) | Mallory Kane | Mallory is cool. Please tell me more about just how cool she is. I'd especially love more secret agent action and ruthless machinations. | letter |
| Greekhoop | Metal Gear | Liquid Snake | I want to read the kind of fic that Liquid would want you to write about him: theatrical, over the top, and at least a little sympathetic to him. | letter |
| Greekhoop | Spec Ops: The Line | John Konrad | I'd like to know more about what happened before Walker and his team got to Dubai. Maybe from the point of view of an original character? No happy endings required. | letter |
| Greekhoop | Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them? - Murder by Death | I think the lyrics to this album are at their best when they're creating secluded, strange, nightmarish images. I'd like a story that takes one of these instances and works outward from it. | letter | |
| greenbirds | Jewish Scripture & Legend | Vashti (Megillat Ester) | What happened to Vashti after she was banished for refusing to obey the king? Where did she go? How was she received? How did she begin to make a new life for herself? Alternatively, what was it that motivated her to refuse the king's summons in the first place? | letter |
| greenbirds | Cinderella (Fairy Tale) | I would love a steampunk or modern-day retelling. Bonus points for one of the following: postapocalyptic; what would happen if it was Cinderella who rescued the prince? | letter | |
| greenbirds | Where the Wild Things Are - Maurice Sendak | What happens on Max's boat trip? Or, what's it like on the island after Max leaves? | letter | |
| greenbirds | Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin | Tenar (Earthsea) | Tell me more about Tenar's childhood/young womanhood, or about what happened when she left to make a new life for herself. | letter |
| GreenFish | Gymnastics RPF | Epke Zonderland (Gymnastics RPF) | Anything involving the lovely 'bromance' between Epke Zonderland (NED) and Fabian Hambeuchen (DEU). If you do not know anything about Fabian, well, just write me something about Epke. I just want more fanfiction about him. | letter |
| GreenFish | Hunger Games (2012) RPF | Jennifer Lawrence (Hunger Games RPF), Josh Hutcherson (Hunger Games RPF) | Doesn't have to be romance, but I love the chemistry between these two. Romance is OK, too. | letter |
| GreenFish | Spaced | Tim Bisley, Daisy Steiner | UST, RST, let's get weird. Bonus points for X-Files references. | letter |
| GreenFish | Archer (Cartoon) | Sterling Archer, Lana Kane, Pam Poovey, Malory Archer | I would love a Sterling/Lana story but pretty much anything involving any of these people is OK, because they are all my favorite characters. | letter |
| greenlily | Mageworlds Series-Doyle and MacDonald | Llanat Hyfid, Jens Metadi-Jessan, Ari Rosselin-Metadi, Tillijen Chereeve | This one's kind of a long shot, as I've met very few people who've read the series. If you've matched me on this one, don't feel yourself bound by the characters I've mentioned; I would love any fic at all for this series. Space opera with lots of action? Great. A story about Llanat growing up on Maraghai? Also great. Tillijen (with or without Nannla) running around the galaxy being awesome? Also also great. Have fun. :) | letter |
| greenlily | Magids Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Maree Mallory, Nick Mallory, Zinka Fearon, Roddy Hyde | I would adore any story you wanted to write for me in this fandom. Maree's adventures as a new Magid? Maree and Roddy's first meeting? Nick meeting Zinka again after the events of the Con? As with all my prompts, I'm totally happy if you want to include other canon characters. This fandom is also one in which I'd welcome (but absolutely don't demand or expect!) crossovers, with other DWJ books or with anything else you think appropriate. | letter |
| greenlily | Tigana - Guy Gavriel Kay | Devin bar Garin, Alais bren Rovigo, Catriana d'Astibar, Alessan bar Valentin | This is one of the few fandoms in which I prompt for romance. The sweet Devin/Alais scene near the end of the book always makes me want more Devin/Alais. If you're not into that, though, anything about either of them, or about Alessan and/or Catriana or any combination of these characters, would rock my world. Also, I'm a total music/theater nerd and have always been fascinated with the glimpses we get of the troubadour's life in this book; anything having to do with the troubadours or performing arts in this setting would be awesome. | letter |
| greenlily | Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle | Vicky Austin, Adam Eddington, Polly O'Keefe, Zachary Gray | I'm particularly intrigued by the possibility for Zachary fic, but really, just have fun with this. The one thing I'd like to avoid is SJW-type fic that consists of the other characters dogpiling on Zachary for all the terrible things he's done to Vicky and Polly; if that's your motivation for offering to write Zachary, please don't. | letter |
| greenlily | The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones | Cat Chant, Janet Chant, Marianne Pinhoe | I love all the interactions between Cat and the other Chrestomanci Castle kids; only Cat, Janet and Marianne made it into the noms this year, and if you just want to write about them I'd be delighted with anything, but if you also feel a yen to add Julia, Roger, Joe and/or Klartch, go for it. | letter |
| greenlily | Thursday's Children - Rumer Godden | Yuri Koszorz, Crystal Penny, Anthea Dean | TINY FANDOM OF MY HEART. If you're particularly interested in writing the situations that naturally arise from this combination of characters, be my guest. However, I'd really be happy with any fic in this fandom, about any characters. This is also a fandom in which I'd entertain the possibility of crossovers. However, the time (late 60s-early 70s) and place (England) and the working-class setting are a big part of the book's appeal for me, and I'd prefer to avoid crossovers that don't go with that time or place or setting. |
letter |
| GreenRoses | Christian Bible (New Testament) | Any characters would be appreciated. Nothing sexually explicit, please, nor crack pairings or anything of that nature. Some character development would be nice, or some spiritual warfare! | ||
| GreenRoses | Christian Bible (Old Testament) | Vashti (Book of Esther), Michal (Old Testament), Rachav | Rahab, Dina | Dinah | Not all these characters need to be in the fic. It honestly doesn't matter to me. Nothing sexually explicit, please (though I realize that with Dinah, there will obviously need to be some mention of something shady going on, but please nothing explicit). No crack pairings or anything of that nature, please. | |
| GreenRoses | Little Nemo in Slumberland | Princess of Slumberland (Little Nemo in Slumberland), Little Nemo (Little Nemo in Slumberland) | ome AU where they meet and fall in love, or something cute where they are older, or something involving some romance would be awesome! But please nothing sexually explicit or anything like that! Kissing and fluff is fine :) | |
| GreenRoses | Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (TV) | Kunzite (Sailor Moon), Jadeite (Sailor Moon) | ANYTHING with Kunzite + Venus or especially Jadeite + Mars would be FABULOUS!!! I love the Shittenou/Senshi pairings. But please nothing sexually explicit (or yaoi/yuri) or anything like that! Kissing and fluff is fine :) | |

| greerwatson | Prehistoric Park | Nigel Marven, Bob Arthur, Suzanne McNabb | Dinosaurs! Or mammoths, trilobites, or what have you. (Your choice of time period, but I'd prefer something as-yet-unvisited.) Ideally, something along the lines of a new episode—well, a single time trip plus a bit back at the park. I'd prefer it written as real prose, rather than an attempt at a screenplay or transcription. | letter |
| greerwatson | Time Team RPF | Phil Harding (Time Team) | I'd like something similar to an actual episode; or possibly background on the making of an episode (the sort of thing that might be in a behind-the-scenes Special), for there's obviously a lot more going on than just the three days' dig. If you're looking for something more limited in scope, then chit-chat as they work or back at the pub would certainly be appreciated. Definitely gen, please! | letter |
| greerwatson | The Charioteer - Mary Renault | Quite a lot of fan fiction focuses on the canonical romances; so I'd prefer a story that's a bit different. Perhaps something about Aunt Olive (past, present, or future), or a school story (not involving Ralph/Hazell), or a look at the Bridstow scene from a different p.o.v., or some slice-of-life at the E.M.S. hospital. Feel free to include other characters. | letter | |
| greerwatson | Forever Knight | Casefic is always a treat; and I enjoy ensemble stories. On the other hand, if you prefer to focus on an individual, perhaps some backstory—family/personal life, history (for the vampires), gardening (for Feliks). By all means include characters who weren't nominated. However, I'm not so fond of Divia, Fleur, or Lisa Cooper; I'd prefer it if you avoided them. Preferably gen; but don't feel that you have to ignore canon. | letter | |
| greerwatson | Hellspark - Janet Kagan | Maggy | Margaret, Lord Lynn, Tocohl Susumo | I love this book for Lassti, linguistics, the cast (especially Maggy!), and the detective plot. So as much of that as you can get into the story the better. A missing scene? Something aboard ship? A new case for the new judge? While I particularly want to see Maggy and Tocohl together again, I love all the characters; so please feel free to include any of them. | letter |
| gregariousProtagonist | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Hunter (Neverwhere) | I feel like Hunter's life pre-story was barely explored at all. I would love something pre-book with backstory. | |
| gregariousProtagonist | Across the Universe (2007) | Jude Feeny, Max Carrigan | I would like to see something focused on plot rather than just fluff with these too. Either something shippy or just a close friendship would be fine (but I am definitely one for a good war torn love story). I would most prefer it deal with longing. | |
| gregariousProtagonist | Big Love | Margene Heffman, Nicolette Grant, Barbara Henrickson | Preferably something focused on Margene/Ben. If not, something focused on the relationships between the wives post-show. | |
| gregariousProtagonist | Bomb Girls | Betty McRae, Teresa (Bomb Girls) | I love a little fraught, war torn romance. I would like something Betty focused that shows what happened to her and Teresa after the war ended. | |
| gregariousProtagonist | Fresh Meat (TV) | Vod (Fresh Meat), Oregon (Fresh Meat) | ||
| gregariousProtagonist | Orphan Black (TV) | Cosima Niehaus, Delphine Cormier | ||
| Grevling | The Middleman (TV) | Wendy Watson, Lacey Thornfield, The Middleman, Ida (The Middleman) | o there might be a trend at work here, but crossovers and AUs were MADE for The Middleman, honestly. Time traveling Starfleet officers show up at the illegal sublet apartment Wendy shares with another young, photogenic artist, or The Middleman is called in to investigate odd goings-on at a dingy bookstore in London, or Wendy versus Megacroc, or ANYTHING. As with my other requests, pretty much anything in this fandom will make me so, so happy. As an aside, I do ship Wendy/Lacey more than I ship Tyler/Wendy, but again, gen is more than okay. I also prefer happy and ridiculous to angsty and tragic. |
letter |
| Grevling | Parks and Recreation | Leslie Knope, Donna Meagle, Ron Swanson, April Ludgate | I would love love LOVE to see the Pawnee crew dropped down into some other ridiculous situation - give me Leslie trying to lead the Pawnee citizens through an outbreak of the zombie virus brought on by Paunchburger, or have Sharknado visit Eagleton and let Leslie gloat until a shark crashes through the roof of City Hall, or really anything like that. I'd prefer it if it were funny, rather than tragic or angsty, but as for the plot, go with whatever you want to. Ridiculous or logical, AU or not, etc. I love all the characters, but I specified the four that are probably my favorites (though it's hard to pick). Most of what I love about Parks & Rec is that it's ridiculous and genuine at the same time, and that its humor is rooted in mostly good intentions. |

| Grevling | Black Books | Fran Katzenjammer. Manny Bianco, Bernard Black | This is going to get repetitive, but I would also love to see these guys dropped into some ridiculous situation. Crossovers, apocalypses, plagues of fuzzy bunnies and rainbows, anything. What draws me to Black Books are the characters and their interactions, rather than the setting, so picking them up and dropping them somewhere else would make my Yuletide. Putting them on the bridge of the Enterprise during a fight with the Borg, making them visit Pawnee for some ungodly reason (or, alternately, making the Pawneeans drop in during their visit to London!), whatever you do with these three will absolutely delight me. And if you're new to Black Books but you're interested in giving it a shot, there are only 18 episodes, and it doesn't even take that long to get a feel for these three and how utterly ridiculous they are. As a side note, I do ship Bernard/Fran, in a kind of self-destructive-but-workable way, but I am also more than fine with gen. Honestly, don't let my propensity for crossovers freak you out - if you want to keep them where they are, that is definitely also amazing. But if you want to throw them at something else, I'm good with that too! If you want an idea of my fandoms/enjoyments, you can take a look at cumberdoom.tumblr.com - my tagging system is haphazard at best, but it gives you a good cross-section of my joys in life. |

| Grevling | Miranda (TV) | Miranda Hart, Gary Preston, Stevie Sutton | I NEED CLOSURE. After the finale of the last season, I just need to know that Miranda is actually going to get SOMEWHERE with her life - whether that means finally committing to someone else, or committing to herself and doing something that takes her out of the cycle of apartment/store/bar (and gary/stevie/penny). I just want Miranda to break out of her rut and do something that makes her happy - whether that thing is Gary or Mike (though I lean towards Gary, honestly), or world travel or a comedy class or writing or ANYTHING. Just make Miranda happy, please and thank you. PS - I am still more than happy with AUs and crossovers here, but I'd really like the focus to be on Miranda and her happiness/future. |

| Grey_Bard | Safehold Series - David Weber | Merlin Athrawes | Nimue Alban | Merlin is a transgender, transhuman robot whose self-imposed mission is to tempt and seduce a (fallen back into) renaissance society into the wonders of modernity. That's amazing. I would love fic exploring any of these aspects of the story! Also interesting to me are the robot out of time issues, the adjustment to suddenly being an ancient secret robot issues, the adjusting to life in a theocracy issies, the humanity survived its planned extinction sense of relief or Merlin's past as Nimue, all of which were more implied than observed. Any take on Merlin's gender or identity issues (or none) you want works for me, as long as Merlin is still competent and fascinating. | letter |
| Grey_Bard | Nantucket trilogy - S.M. Stirling | Marian Alston, Swindapa Kurlelo | I ship Marian Alston/Swindapa Kurlelo a lot, okay? Heroic military leader saves and falls in love with beautiful barbarian princess done, unironically, with two women in those roles? Canonically f/f, and they go on to be warrior life-partners, married ever after? What's not to love! Exploring any or all of this - their adventures in between the books, their relationship, Swindapa's point of view on the events of the first book - would work great for me. If you want to write gen fic about either of them before they met, that would work for me too. What I would not like is an exploration Swindapa's life in the time just before the book, when she is being raped and enslaved by her tribal enemies, or fics set long after the books, about them getting old, having marital trouble and/or dying. | letter |
| Grey_Bard | Mother of Demons - Eric Flint | Guo, Ushulubang, Dhowifa, Nukurren - all the nominated characters, I love all of these characters in their Bronze Age four-gender land squid glory. Their heroism, their interesting personalities, their worldbuilding. I would like fic about any of the nominated characters, apart or together. Stories exploring further fact that they're at ground zero for the early days of a major new religion, their experiences getting to know a new species (humans), or fic set in the Anshac empire that is so important to their lives but never seen on screen, would be amazing. Before, during or after the book works for me. | letter | |
| Grey_Bard | The Course of Empire - Eric Flint & K.D. Wentworth | Alien politics of sea lion-like aliens changing their society by building a new clan/political faction! The Bond of Ebezon, a secretive monastic society of elders scheming to fix their culture for its own good! discovering the joys of a clan that doesn't think creativity is weird! Fic about any or all of the nominated Jao characters works for me. Shipping any Jao (or none) with each other works (Except Oppuk, who's awful) for me. Humans can totally be a part of the story, but I would like one of the nominated Jao as the main character. What I am not interested in is stories about the Jao's original conquest of Earth before the books. | letter | |
| Grey_Bard | Now You See Me (2013) | Henley Reeves | Was the Eye originally real or did Dylan make it real? Was it originally real but revived by Dylan or someone else? Does it actually offer real magical powers or just the chance to use illusion powerfully for something beyond entertainment? I'm fascinated by those issues raised but unanswered by the movie. Henley is my under-used favorite, so I would love fic about her or teamfic with her as the main character, set during or after the movie. Plots I am interested in include stories in which the Four Horsemen or the Eye are pulling off magic adventures, scheming up their next plan (or the next aspect of the movie's plan), or discovering more about the Eye. Exploration of the interaction between the magician characters as the year of the movie goes on, or after the movie, would be a great aspect to include. What I am not interested in is fic set before the movie, fic not about Henley or fic purely about their personal lives. | letter |
| Grey_Bard | Les Contes d'Hoffman - Offenbach/Barbier | La Muse | Nicklausse | The Muse, The Muse, the wonderful, sly, ambiguous, funny muse. The Muse/Hoffmann? The Muse backstory? The Muse having adventures as Nicklausse? The Muse popping up in different eras or with different artists, in crossovers or AUs? I do not care, as long as it is about The Muse. | letter |
| grey_sw (grey) | Moon (2009) | GERTY, Sam Bell | I'd love something from GERTY's POV. What's it like to be an AI all alone with the clones on the moon, living and learning...? Heartwrenching feels are welcome! Thank you! | |
| grey_sw (grey) | Tomorrow's Sphinx - Clare Bell | Anything that suits your fancy is fine: a side story, deleted scene, or what-came-after would be brilliant. I'd rather not read porn for this fandom, though. Thanks! | ||
| grey_sw (grey) | Gaunt's Ghosts - Dan Abnett | Ibram Gaunt | ome of the details (Gereon, Gaunt's eyes, his worries over his son, his 'friendship' with Etogaur) in the last few books have me wondering: how long before Gaunt falls to Chaos, or dies while trying to fight it? Something Gaunt-centric which explores this struggle would be wonderful. Please feel free to include other characters, too -- I love all the Ghosts. Thank you! | |
| grey_sw (grey) | Watership Down - Richard Adams | Bigwig (Watership Down) | Bigwig, and fighting. Do the rabbits have a war-god, or tales they tell about battle? What about Owsla training? I feel like we didn't quite get enough of Bigwig's experience with this in the book, so have fun with it... please feel free to include other characters, too, as I love the ensemble cast. Thank you! | |

| Gryffens | '39 - Queen (Song) | Thanks for being my Yuletide writer! This is my first time doing Yuletide :) I've put some general do's and don'ts below, as well as prompts. If these inspire some fic ideas for you, great! If not, write whatever you're inspired to write and I will be happy. I've heard that some writers like to check out their recipient's online profile for guidance, in which case I apologise, since I am a major lurker with very little digital footprint. I do have a ff.net account, but that represents who I was a decade ago, so I wouldn't use it for any cyber-sleuthing. Other than that, have fun! General Fanfic Do's: Polyamory, first time, team bonding, banter or arguing during sex, awesomely pulling off complicated plans, hilariously failing to pull off simple plans, hope in awful situations, I-know-you're-bad-for-me-but-I-can't-walk-away, unlikely allies, us-against-the-world. General Fanfic Don'ts: No underage, no bestiality, no character death, no apocalypse fic, no scat, no exhibitionism/public sex, no cheating/infidelity, no crossovers. This song has a lot of potential as a straight up sci-fi story. The way I interpret it is as follows - due to some reason, the Earth has become barely habitable. Twenty volunteers set out in a spaceship to look for a new world to live in. They find a suitable planet and return, only to find that a century has passed, and the loved ones they left behind have died, although their descendants live on. In the story, I'd like some sort of explanation for why the time dilation took them by surprise, since if they were using Einsteinian physics that was easily predictable. Other than that, put in as much or as little technical detail as you feel comfortable with - I far prefer a sci-fi handwave to something that gets the science wrong. I would be OK with the members of Queen being part of the crew in a kind of Space!AU, or entirely original characters. And if David Bowie shows up at some point, well, that's only fitting :) |

| Gryffens | Haven | Audrey Parker, Nathan Wuornos, Duke Crocker | Thanks for being my Yuletide writer! This is my first time doing Yuletide :) I've put some general do's and don'ts below, as well as prompts. If these inspire some fic ideas for you, great! If not, write whatever you're inspired to write and I will be happy. I've heard that some writers like to check out their recipient's online profile for guidance, in which case I apologise, since I am a major lurker with very little digital footprint. I do have a ff.net account, but that represents who I was a decade ago, so I wouldn't use it for any cyber-sleuthing. Other than that, have fun! General Fanfic Do's: Polyamory, first time, team bonding, banter or arguing during sex, awesomely pulling off complicated plans, hilariously failing to pull off simple plans, hope in awful situations, I-know-you're-bad-for-me-but-I-can't-walk-away, unlikely allies, us-against-the-world. General Fanfic Don'ts: No underage, no bestiality, no character death, no apocalypse fic, no scat, no exhibitionism/public sex, no cheating/infidelity, no crossovers, no AUs where you keep the characters but change the setting - for example, Coffeeshop AUs, Historical AUs, the one where they are all cats (Canon Divergent AU's are fine). First things first, I ship Audrey/Nathan/Duke. If you don't, then I would prefer there not to be any shipping that pairs up two of them and leaves one out. I would be completely happy with gen Audrey&Nathan&Duke that shows how important they all are to each other as friends. If you do want to go the OT3 route, I think the season 2 Christmas episode is perfect for a threesome fic. Audrey realising the importance of family and friendship! Duke and Nathan under the mistletoe! Audrey telling Duke and Nathan they have to learn to share! Hot and heavy PWP or schmoopy fade to black, doesn't really matter. On the non-OT3 side, I'd like a fic where Audrey learns more about Nathan and Duke growing up together. What was it like during the troubles when they were kids? What were they like in high school? I'd especially like it if during the talks they repair their relationship a little, while also strengthening their bond with Audrey. Other than the main three, I like Jennifer and Dwight. Feel free to include them! |

| Gryffens | Luther (TV) | Alice Morgan, John Luther, Mark North | Thanks for being my Yuletide writer! This is my first time doing Yuletide :) I've put some general do's and don'ts below, as well as prompts. If these inspire some fic ideas for you, great! If not, write whatever you're inspired to write and I will be happy. I've heard that some writers like to check out their recipient's online profile for guidance, in which case I apologise, since I am a major lurker with very little digital footprint.

General Fanfic Don'ts: No underage, no bestiality, no character death, no apocalypse fic, no scat, no exhibitionism/public sex, no cheating/infidelity, no crossovers, no AUs where you keep the characters but change the setting - for example, Coffeeshop AUs, Historical AUs, the one where they are all cats (Canon Divergent AU's are fine). The ending of season 1 of Luther fulfils two of my all-time favourite tropes - Alice, Luther and Mark are "Unlikely Allies" and it's "Them against the World". I would love more fics in that vein, where they all have to team up for some goal, and they realise that they all understand each other and share something special, even if they don't always like or trust each other. I've watched season 3, so fics set after the end of that are all good. Just please don't leave Mark out! I ship Alice/Luther/Mark, in the sense that I want them to have hot sex and a fucked up relationship, not that I think they could ever settle down and live happily ever after. If you don't want to go there explicitly, just keep the angsty relationships and skip the sex, that's fine too. |
letter |
| Gryffens | Reservoir Dogs (1992) | Mr. Orange, Mr. White (Reservoir Dogs) | Thanks for being my Yuletide writer! This is my first time doing Yuletide :) I've put some general do's and don'ts below, as well as prompts. If these inspire some fic ideas for you, great! If not, write whatever you're inspired to write and I will be happy. I've heard that some writers like to check out their recipient's online profile for guidance, in which case I apologise, since I am a major lurker with very little digital footprint. I do have a ff.net account, but that represents who I was a decade ago, so I wouldn't use it for any cyber-sleuthing. Other than that, have fun! General Fanfic Do's: Polyamory, first time, team bonding, banter or arguing during sex, awesomely pulling off complicated plans, hilariously failing to pull off simple plans, hope in awful situations, I-know-you're-bad-for-me-but-I-can't-walk-away, unlikely allies, us-against-the-world. General Fanfic Don'ts: No underage, no bestiality, no character death, no apocalypse fic, no scat, no exhibitionism/public sex, no cheating/infidelity, no crossovers, no AUs where you keep the characters but change the setting - for example, Coffeeshop AUs, Historical AUs, the one where they are all cats (Canon Divergent AU's are fine). Generally I'm a live and let shipper - not everybody sees things the same way, not everybody dons their slash goggles as often as I do, and that's fine. But Mr Orange and Mr White are in love. Romantically, platonically, father-son, doesn't really matter (although romantic/sexual if my favourite), so long as you realise that they developed very strong feelings for each other in a very short amount of time. I can't think of any prompt beyond that, so set it pre, during or post movie and I will be happy with anything you write. |

| Gryffens | Ultraviolet (TV) | Vaughan Rice, Angela March, Mike Colefield | Thanks for being my Yuletide writer! This is my first time doing Yuletide :) I've put some general do's and don'ts below, as well as prompts. If these inspire some fic ideas for you, great! If not, write whatever you're inspired to write and I will be happy. I've heard that some writers like to check out their recipient's online profile for guidance, in which case I apologise, since I am a major lurker with very little digital footprint. I do have a ff.net account, but that represents who I was a decade ago, so I wouldn't use it for any cyber-sleuthing. Other than that, have fun! General Fanfic Do's: Polyamory, first time, team bonding, banter or arguing during sex, awesomely pulling off complicated plans, hilariously failing to pull off simple plans, hope in awful situations, I-know-you're-bad-for-me-but-I-can't-walk-away, unlikely allies, us-against-the-world. General Fanfic Don'ts: No underage, no bestiality, no character death, no apocalypse fic, no scat, no exhibitionism/public sex, no cheating/infidelity, no crossovers, no AUs where you keep the characters but change the setting - for example, Coffeeshop AUs, Historical AUs, the one where they are all cats (Canon Divergent AU's are fine). This show really pushed all of my fandom buttons, so I'm really hoping this Yuletide will turn up someone else who feels the same! I came out of the show shipping Vaughan/Angie/Mike. I love the mixture of antagonism and sympathy that they give each other, and the old "being drawn together by traumatic circumstances" trope. I never really warmed to Kirsty, Frances or Father Pearse as characters, so not too much focus on them please. I did come up with a fairly cracky bit of headcanon that Mike and Jack had fooled around in the past and it meant way more to Mike than it did to Jack - feel free to incorporate or ignore this as you please. If you don't like or don't feel comfortable writing OT3 shippy fic I am totally down with a fic that has Vaughan, Angie and Mike as the main characters and doesn't have any sex/romance at all. On the plotty side the show gave us so much potential with the vampires' plot to wipe out humanity. You may have noticed that I mentioned "no apocalypse fic" in my general don'ts. The reason for this is that I really don't like the feeling of purposelessness, hopelessness and despair that most of these fics have. In this fandom, I would be fine with a fic where the vampires accomplished some of their plan to destroy humanity, so long as the characters are still fighting and have a reasonable chance of beating back the vampires and re-establishing humanity. |

Maybe something with John getting into trouble and needing rescued, either from some big bad monster or maybe Nuada "kidnaps" him and Hellboy and the group come to the rescue? Or maybe John's sent away as the ambassador to deal with the elves after a peace treaty is formed? Anything involving magic is bonus points. | letter |
| gryvon | Grimm (TV) | Monroe (Grimm), Nick Burkhardt | Monroe/Nick or gen. I'd like to see something that explores Monroe's animalistic side and how that might come out in a relationship (platonic or otherwise) with Nick - a sense of territory, possessiveness, animalistic behaviors, etc. How does Monroe keep from wolfing out during sex? It would be neat seeing the gang rescue Nick for a change instead of Nick being the hero. | letter |

Anything, literally anything with Mikael and Raphael being together would make me happy. Angsty, hurt/comfort, fluff. I'm good. Maybe something with the angel school or after the series? What happens to Mikael? Does he become an angel? What is being an angel like? I would prefer a happy (or happy enough) ending for Mikael and Raphael. They deserve it. | letter |
| gryvon | Love Mode | Jinnai Kuniaki, Katsuki Kyousuke | I adore Jin and Katsuki beyond words. Really, I'd like to see them actually getting together on a more permanent basis, and Jin fessing up to his love for Katsuki. I've always loved the teasing dynamic between the two, and Jin's subtlety. For background characters (or side-characters) pretty much anyone goes. I adore Aoe and Naoya, Kiichi and Haruomi, Seiichi, etc. Anything with the bar crowd (Touma, Jin, Seiichi, Katsuki) or the Aoe's would be interesting, and though it'd be possibly a little strange to work in, having Katsuki interacting more with the Aoe's on a friendly basis would be rather interesting. I have to admit I have a fondness for situations where Katsuki is targeted by people at Blue Boy (or elsewhere), prompting Jin to save him. | letter |

| gwyneth | Luther (TV) | Alice Morgan, John Luther, Justin Ripley | I would love a story focusing on John and Alice's bizarre, twisted, wonderful relationship. Something that doesn't shy away from Alice's pathology but that gets to the heart of her intriguing and alluring personality, and something that acknowledges John's demons and how Alice fits into that. If Alice and John isn't your bag, I'd also love a story with John and Justin Ripley -- I loved their friendship and how far Justin was willing to go for him. Whichever relationship floats your boat is fine with me, as long as John's in the center of it. | letter |
| gwyneth | Ripper Street | Edmund Reid, Homer Jackson, Deborah Goren, Bennet Drake | I don't know what to put here -- I just love this show so much and I'm so in love with all the characters. These four are my favorites, but I'd be happy to see any of them interacting with each other, or with other characters (for instance, Edmund with his wife). Or even fix-it fic with Hobbs at the center of it! I do see a slashy vibe between Edmund and Homer, so if that's your thing, I'm all in for slash! Otherwise, love affairs, friendships, casefic, whatever ,will likely make me happy, because did I mention how much I love this show? | letter |

I'd just love to see their evening out in much, much more detail. | letter |
| gwyneth | Now and Again | Michael Wiseman, Theodore Morris | I was so surprised to see this that I would be thrilled with anything here. Anything with these two guys. If angst is your thing, I would love something angsty. But if you want to write them lovey dovey or BFFs or having adventures and casefic, that's cool too. Anything's great! | letter |
| gwyneth | The Unit | Mack Gerhardt, Jonas Blane | I am obsessed with ginger hotass Max Martini and his smoke-and-whiskey tinged voice. I think it's clear he and Jonas are life partners. Whether that means slash to you or just the intense friendship as they portrayed it in the series (Mack deciding to stay with Jonas instead of running his own team, Jonas doing everything he could to get Mack out of the prison ship), I love them together and anything showing their life partneriness would be wonderful. | letter |

| HalfshellVenus | Better Off Ted | Phil Myman, Lem Hewitt, Ted Crisp | New projects, new failures, and new forms of corporate dysfunction! I'd love Phil and Lem to be working on one of their weird experiments (or social failures), and Ted could either be the guy who periodically tries to make them see reason OR the story could be along the lines of a regular episode with Phil and Lem as the side part of the story. Other characters are welcome to make appearances, but these are the ones I'd like to see taking the large roles. Mainly, I'm looking for Gen fic in the spirit of this wonderfully snarky and bizarre show. | |
| HalfshellVenus | Justified | Raylan Givens, Boyd Crowder | I'd love Raylan/Boyd slash, but if not then I'd prefer purely Gen. I love the complicated relationship between these two, the sense of them being not quite friends and not quite enemies. If Art were to make an appearance to snark the place up, I wouldn't mind. Drunk!fic, pre-series (the coal-mining days), collaboration, reluctant attraction-- all suggestions, none required, just trying to offer some inspiration. | |

Frustrated by this power he can't control, the kind that sets off metal detectors in airports and gets him kicked off of public transportation? Or you could invent new adventures for him! | |
| HalfshellVenus | Burn Notice | Michael Westen, Sam Axe | Remember those early seasons, when there was heart and humor and the show was still fun? I'd like something along those lines, a Gen story or ficlet that might touch on the angst but overall celebrates the lighthearted side of the show. Michael and Sam are musts, and the story could be about just the two of them or have Fiona and anyone else added in (bonus points for Michael's Not-Dead Partner Larry or any of the other hilarious villains). Preferably no Nate, but anything else is fair game. Let your inner MacGyver guide you. | |
| hallonpaj | That '70s Show | Donna Pinciotti, Eric Forman | Any rating is fine. I love early relationship type fics between them, altho married with kids is a-okay too :) The rest of the group is more than welcome to be a part of the fic if the author wants it to be, but Eric/Donna is the gr8est sooooo | |
| hallonpaj | Orange is the New Black | Literally any characters are fine. Any rating as well. I'm really into character analysis for this show idk, but def anything is fine! (Soft spot for Alex/Piper tho, tbh, esp Alex being over protective of Piper ahem ahem) | ||
| hallonpaj | Uncharted | Nathan Drake, Elena Fisher | Literally anything is ok in this situation, but post-Uncharted 1 is pretty gr8 :) | |
| hallonpaj | Sleepless In Seattle (1993) | Sam Baldwin, Annie Reed | Preferably post-movie fic, almost into something angsty. Interested in all the Annie-comparing-herself-to-Sam's-ex wife fics, but fluff is cool too! | |
| hallonpaj | Friday Night Lights | Any and all characters are great. I'm super into post-show fics for this show, because the show ended to soon and I like reading about where the characters go and all that stuff. | ||
| halotolerant | King Rat - James Clavell | Peter Marlowe, The King (King Rat - James Clavell) | The interaction between these two in the novel is brilliant, the way they are so different and yet find something in each other that fascinates. They can be seen as barely friends, or as comrades or even as tending towards something like attraction or love. Do they even know themselves? I'm good with all interpretations, I'd just love more about them, be it a scene from Changi either before or during the time the novel covers, or a look into their future. Do they ever meet again (or do either or both of them carefully avoid it)? How are their lives different because of the war and each other? If you want to use elements from the film, please do. | letter |
| halotolerant | Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse | Rupert Psmith, Mike Jackson | chooldays era, flatshare era, moving forwards into the WW1 I'm afraid they must have been involved in — so much scope here! I love their friendship, the way snark and exasperation cover a deep affection and respect for each other, the way they need each other but don't talk about it. What if they do talk about it? Gen or slash, but I'd love something about a moment when they have to be a little serious or a little vocal about their feelings. | letter |
| halotolerant | Swallows and Amazons - Arthur Ransome | I cannot adequately express my love for these books. More of this world of any shape or form gratefully received. I'd like more childhood adventures, but I'm also interested in them getting older, in what happens when the oldest children are adults but the youngest still very much kids. Or going forward into the 1940s — doesn't have to be war-centric. Who sees the most of who? Who does what with their lives? Take it anywhere you like for any character, I'm happy with gen, het and slash within the characters or with OCs (but no incest please). | letter | |
| halotolerant | Tennis RPF | Roger Federer | Pretty much all Tennis fic is good for me *g* Doesn't have to adhere massively to reality, AUs very much liked, tropes adored, slash very much enjoyed but gen friendship/banter also gratefully received. I've picked Roger but anything about any active male player(s) would float my boat and honestly, when it comes to RPF I'm open to it all — career AU, time travel, bodyswapping, drunk!Married, omegaverse, directed-verse, soulbonds, mpreg, wolf-brothers, sex pollen — it's all good! Just hand-wave away any RL partners/wives and pleased don't bash them or any other players. | letter |
| handlegg | Cowboy Bebop | Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed (Cowboy Bebop) | I've always wanted fic of what happened to the remaining crew after the show ended. | |

| hangingfire | The Culture - Iain M. Banks | Diziet Sma, Skaffen-Amtiskaw | o I selected Diziet Sma and Skaffen-Amtiskaw for the character list, and they are indeed my darlings from the series, but please by all means feel free to use other characters, or OCs. Anything is good. SC adventures, bickering/scheming Ship minds, a day in the life on an Orbital, another alien race confronted with the Culture "Inversions"-style, heavy plot or no plot—anything you want to do, please by all means have fun with it. I love Banks for his sheer inventiveness and black humour, and anything that falls within that remit is fine with me. Truly, anything. | letter |
| hangingfire | House of Cards (US TV) | Francis Underwood, Claire Underwood, Doug Stamper | Frank and Claire's marriage fascinates me no end—I've loved seeing all the little things that make it stronger, and the things that strain them: Frank's assumption that Claire will always do what he asks her to; their mutual acceptance of one another's infidelities; the fact that Claire married him because he promised she'd never be bored; that cigarette they share in the evenings. I would be happy with anything that shows more of them together, and more of Claire's perspective on Frank and his career. If Claire could deliver asides to the camera as Frank does, what would she say? What was it like campaigning with him early in his career? How did they come to the arrangement in their marriage regarding sexual/emotional fidelity or lack thereof? Doug, meanwhile, is such an intriguingly cryptic, menacing figure, and I'm mostly curious about what makes him tick. Why is he so loyal to Frank, even unto the Thing that happens in that one episode, you know the one. Is there anything Doug wouldn't do? What does he think of Claire? Of Zoe? Of anyone else who has come into Frank's orbit? Is he confident of Frank's loyalty to him, or does he think Frank would sell him out too if it was beneficial? What would break his loyalty? Storywise: missing scenes, vignettes, a tale of political intrigue; it's all good. Any darkness equivalent to that within the series is fine with me. Mostly I just really enjoy these charactters so much that I'd be happy to spend more time with them in any manner you see fit. |
letter |
| hangingfire | Confessions of Dorian Gray | Dorian Gray (Confessions of Dorian Gray), Oscar Wilde (Confessions of Dorian Gray), Isadora Rigby (Confessions of Dorian Gray) | I came to CoDG for the Oscar Wilde tie-in, and I stayed for Alexander Vlahos's fabulous performance as Dorian and Dorian's endlessly terrible life choices. Obviously you can and should go *anywhere* and anywhen with Dorian—tell me what happened when he met Oscar Wilde, or the circumstances that put him in that kimono and lipstick when he met Dorothy Parker, or send him to the Notting Hill Street Fair in the 1970s, or tell me more about his friendship with Aisha Grant. For that matter, I'd love to see more positive relationships between Dorian and women—original characters are fine, as are other historical or fictional characters. Speaking of women, if you'd rather do a Confessions of Isadora Gray Rigby story? Go for it! She's clearly had an exciting life between the night Dorian ditched her and when he found her again; what happened to her? Did she keep an eye on her brother's exploits from afar? Did she even care? (He's certainly not winning any awards for being a quality sibling.) As far as content goes—well, if you're a fan of the series, you know that it goes to some pretty dark places, and I'm fine with any material of equivalent darkness. Dubious/non-consensual material is tricky, complicated the more by Dorian's own unreliable narrative voice, but if you can make it work and the story demands it (cf. Running Away With You), I'm not averse. I'd enjoy a story with the classic CoDG beats of "Dorian does something impulsive/stupid, and someone you like meets a bad end", but equally I'd be just as happy with a vignette or missing scene that adds to what we already know of the man and his misspent immortal life. (Also, you may note that I've written a couple of fics in the fandom. Make of those what you will; the one merely reflects my general Wildean obsessions, and the other was sort of vomited up after the last episode of Series 2 as a kind of unedited gut reaction.) |
letter |
| hangingfire | The Cornelius Quartet - Michael Moorcock | Jerry Cornelius, Catherine Cornelius, Una Persson | First off, if you're writing Cornelius stuff, THANK YOU, and it's really nice to see another person from the fandom. :) Una has always been my favourite character; "The Adventures of Una Persson and Catherine Cornelius in the Twentieth Century" is my favourite book after "The Condition of Muzak". Honestly, anything you do with these characters is fine with me. Alternate versions of post-9/11 UK and America; reinventions of the twentieth century; journeys through time—whatever you like, I'm game. Content-wise, you probably are well aware that ANYTHING goes with the Cornelius Chronicles, and I am completely fine with that. Seriously. Whatever moves you about these characters and the way they can be used and the settings they can play in—it's all good with me. |
letter |
| HannaM | Blue Velvet (1986) | Jeffrey Beaumont | I love Jeffrey's complicated relationship with both Dorothy and Sandy, and would love to see something exploring that. | letter |
| HannaM | Fire and Hemlock - Diana Wynne Jones | Ivy Whittacker | What interests me is the underlying jealousy Ivy seems to have for Polly. Does that ever go away? Is it actually possible for Ivy to find "happiness"? | letter |
| HannaM | Howl Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Lettie Hatter | What I'd like is to see Lettie making her own choices and navigating the wild world of witchcraft. | letter |
| HannaM | Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated (TV 2010) | Daphne Blake (Mystery Inc.) | Anything where Daphne gets to shine is fine by me, whether it be solving a mystery or working things out with Fred. | letter |

| harborshore | The Hour | Freddie Lyon, Bel Rowley, Lix Storm | omeone please write me a post-season 2 story where Freddie survives. The last episode broke me a little (a lot). I love him and Bel so much, I love their passion for justice, I love the journalism and how smart the show is. It's possibly a dumb idea to request a fic from this show when honestly it's enough for me in itself, but the end of season 2, oh my heart. I can't actually cope with thinking about it for too long, honestly. | letter |
| harborshore | The Hollow Crown (2012) | Prince Hal (The Hollow Crown (2012)), Henry "Hotspur" Percy (The Hollow Crown (2012)) | he's not in the character set, but Catherine of Valois is my absolute favorite, so what I really really really would love here is Hal/Hotspur/Catherine. Or Hal/Hotspur/Lady Percy. Or a foursome. Or just lots of very complicated relationships. Side note: what is with the tag set for this particular fandom lacking nearly all its female characters? This is what I get for not paying attention to Yuletide nominations, really, so I have only myself to blame. Anyhow! Modern AU, canon era, 1960s AU, whatever you want. Trust me, it is all fantastic. |
letter |
| harborshore | Arcadia - Stoppard | Thomasina Coverly, Septimus Hodge, Valentine Coverly, Chloe Coverly | I really seem to be going for canon fixes this year. I want Thomasina not to have to die. I just do. Now, if you accomplish that through a modern AU or through her running away to America or, well. I don't know. I'd also love a story about the fantastic Coverly siblings, with or without the other modern era characters. | letter |
| harborshore | Demon's Lexicon - Sarah Rees Brennan | Nicholas "Nick" Ryves | Hnikarr, James "Jamie" Crawford, Sebastian "Seb" McFarlane, Cynthia "Sin" Davies | I obviously love Alan and Mae too, they just didn't fit! Oh, these books. I love them so, and I mostly absolutely love the way they actually work out to an ending that I don't hate. So. Continued adventures, adventures set during the books (Seb and Jamie's first kiss while on the magician boat of doom and evil, for example, or Alan and Nick growing up, or Mae and Jamie going on sibling adventures before they knew magic existed, or--). | letter |
| hardlygolden | Shameless (US) | Fiona Gallagher, Lip Gallagher, Ian Gallagher, Debbie Gallagher | I love the insights we get on the different ways the Gallagher siblings look out for one another - basically anything that shows how much they care for each other and how protective they are of their own. Basically: Gallaghers being Gallaghers! (with all the wackiness and weirdness that implies) | |
| hardlygolden | The Mindy Project | Danny Castellano, Mindy Lahiri | A fic written in the same tone as the show, with Danny and Mindy bickering and bantering with each other - but then uniting against anyone else attacking the other. I also would love a fic that shows their competency as doctors, regardless of what's happening in their personal lives, and the care they have for their patients. | |
| hardlygolden | Orphan Black (TV) | Sarah Manning, Felix Dawkins, Kira Manning | It would be great to see preseries fic of Sarah and Felix growing up together, or how they've kept in touch over the years. I'd also enjoy seeing more of Felix's interactions with Kira (especially based on what we saw of his babysitting Alison's kids!) | |
| hardlygolden | Chicago Fire | Kelly Severide, Matthew Casey, Leslie Shay | I have a huge amount of affection for the entire team - so would love a team-centric fic, or a dramatic fic where someone is in peril and the others rescue them (no death-fic, though, please!). I also love seeing Severide and Shay being BFFs. Would also be interested in a pre-series look at any of these characters. Also it's a minor point that the show hasn't revisited (yet) but I thought there was lots of chemistry between Severide and Elise (Peter Mill's sister) and think they'd be really cute together. Basically this show continues to delight me and I will love anything you write that gives me an excuse to spend more time with these characters! | |
| HardModePlus | .hack//G.U. | Haseo (.hack//G.U.), Atoli (.hack//G.U.) | I did not expect to love this game this much, or these characters this much. I'm not really sure if I ship them or not, but I do think that they have a very close emotional connection and I'd really love to read more about that. If you're looking for some ideas, how about these: 1) Now that they don't have to save the World and are free to explore it how they choose, how do Atoli and Haseo's experiences change how they interact with the World? What's a normal day like for them now in the World? 2) I'm really interested in the interplay between the characters offline and online lives, and how aspects of one life affect how they do things in the other. I'd really love a story that examines the differences between their offline and online personas. I should mention that I am also familiar with the prequel anime, and the manga and novelizations. If you're familiar with these too and want to draw from them to fill in the gaps in the games, please do! I would love it a lot. |
|
| HardModePlus | Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World | Emil Castagnier, Marta Lualdi | I always wondered what happened after the events of the game and whether Emil and Marta did get their happily ever after. I also wondered what that would look like given what Emil is. If you want to include Ratatosk, I'd love that a lot! But I really, really want a kind of epilogue of them making their way in Aselia and what their happily ever after means. | |
| HardModePlus | Memory Sorrow and Thorn - Tad Williams | Simon (Memory Sorrow and Thorn), Miriamele (Memory Sorrow and Thorn) | I was really sad when I finished reading this series because I wanted to know how they rebuilt the kingdom, or even how they rebuilt themselves. Simon and Miriamele go through so much for the ending that they got, and I'd like to know what the consequences of that were. If you want to focus on world-building through these two, go for it, or if you want to focus on how these two deal with the aftermath of what they had to do to survive, that works too. I just really want more from this universe. | |
| HardModePlus | Old Kingdom - Garth Nix | Prince Sameth, Lirael (Old Kingdom) | I've loved this series for years, and these two are my favorite characters, though Sabriel is not far behind them. I'd love anything featuring these two, but some ideas to get the writing juices flowing: 1. Lirael is a Remembrancer, able to see the past, as well as the Abhorsen-in-Waiting. Sam is the first Wallmaker in centuries, and he also has necromantic abilities. How do they use these talents to improve the Old Kingdom? 2. Sam and Lirael go on an adventure together. Maybe they're going to help reclaim the last part of the Old Kingdom back from the dead? 3. They both have a lot to adjust to, both in purposes and statuses. How does that go, and how is it regarded by the people around them? |
|
| HardModePlus | Tales of Xillia | Jude Mathis, Elize Lutus | I really, really love Elize, and I really love Jude, and I really love their relationship. So I'd really love a story that is about Jude and Elize and how Jude is a genuinely sweet, nice guy, and how Elize is both adorable and stronger than anyone believed her to be. Does Jude sneak in visits to see Elize around his research at the end of the game? If you want to set it during the battle, do they look out for one another? I also love all the other characters (especially Milla and Leia, the ladies of my heart ♥) so by all means include others too. I just think these two are the cutest. |
|
| hauntedd | Orange is the New Black | Larry Bloom, Piper Chapman, Alex Vause | Explore their (Larry, Piper, Alex) relationship with one another and how one another fit as a part of each other's lives. I'm not really looking for relationship fic here, but if you go that route, it's cool. I more just want to have the three of them try to come to terms with the fact that their lives are forever interconnected. Throw in anyone else you want, I love everyone in this show so I will be happy with whatever you want to do. | letter |
| hauntedd | Nashville (TV) | Juliette Barnes | Life after the death of Juliette's mother. Or Five times Juliette went looking for love in the wrong places and one time she got it right. Really, just give me canon-compliant Juliette. | letter |
| hauntedd | House of Cards (US TV) | Zoe Barnes (House of Cards) | Zoe's POV as her relationship with Francis changes and she discovers that the rabbit hole is far deeper than she'd imagined and as she evolves from a pawn into a player. | letter |
| hauntedd | Scandal (TV) | Mellie Grant | What does Mellie actually think about everything? Honestly, just give me some canon-compliant Mellie with all of her shades of grey and I will be happy. If you have her win the long game over Fitz I will seriously make out with you. | letter |
| hauntedd | Roswell (TV) | Michael Guerin, Tess Harding | Michael/Tess is the pairing of my cold dark heart. My OTP to end all OTPs. I've written Roswell for YEARS and I keep coming back to this fandom, probably because there are lots of open ends to jump off from and the politics of Antar and the dynamics of the foursquare. Not to mention Tess is hands down my favorite character ever. So please do her justice, I really like to see the dimensions of her personality--you can totally make her evil/dark but if you do, I would like it to be more realized than the show where it was like all of a sudden they had budget cuts so Tess killed Alex even though she was embracing her human side up until then. | letter |
| havocthecat | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Jemma Simmons | Either ladies' poker night or what the women of S.H.I.E.L.D. do when they're between missions. To be honest, it could be both. I will be absolutely honest; I have a habit of giving out easy prompts, so if there's another story that speaks to you, feel free to go wild with it. I would prefer femslash or gen, and am not interested in het for this story. My favorite is Melinda May, but please feel free to focus the story on any or all of the women of SHIELD equally. |
letter |
| havocthecat | Rise: Blood Hunter (2007) | Sadie Blake | What does Sadie do after the movie ends? Again, I give easy prompts. I really do. If you would like to do something different, I'm happy with that too! Femslash or gen, please, no het, as that's not what I'm interested in getting. |
letter |
| havocthecat | Byzantium (2012) | Eleanor (Byzantium), Clara (Byzantium) | What happens the next time they see each other (after the film ends)? Gen, please, and no incest, as it's a major squick for me. Again, this is an easy prompt. Please feel free to do whatever you want instead. |
letter |
| havocthecat | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | Gretel is a Grand White Witch. What does that even mean? Please go wild with this. Also, please, no incest, as it's a major squick for me. I prefer femslash, would be absolutely fine with gen also, and am not interested in het in this story. |
letter |
| havocthecat | Dungeons and Dragons (Cartoon) | Sheila "the Thief" | heila's solo adventure, please. I'd love to see something that's a little more gaming style D and D and a little less in the style of the cartoon. You know, where the blond-haired, blue-eyed white dude is always in charge (honestly, the ranger doesn't always need to be the leader), the group is always right, and Sheila is there to be nurturing and invisible when necessary. Anyway, this is sort of a "write whatever plot you want" prompt, either during or post-series, and again, if there's something you can think of that isn't the easy style prompts I leave at Yuletide, please go for it. I love femslash, am extremely fond of gen also, and would not like het for this story. |

| healingmirth | The State Within | While I wouldn't say no to reading about the next multinational crisis, let's be reasonable - what can someone knock out in a thousand words? Anything that might've happened off screen, or pre- or post-series. Something about Brydon and Sinclair and his wife? Dealing with that poor kid and Brydon's admitted separation from real feeling. Brocklehurst's occasionally blinkered devotion to Country - how'd he end up working for MI6 to begin with? What's his story with Brydon? What's Jane's next assignment? | letter | |
| healingmirth | Frontier Wolf - Rosemary Sutcliff | I started reading Rosemary Sutcliffe's novels, and... got distracted three books in. But I absolutely read Frontier Wolf, and inhaled most of the fic, and then was sad that no one requested it last year. I may have read it again by Yuletide if whatever is going on with its reissue and possible ebook gets sorted out. Or if I just miss it and get it back out from the library before I dive into re-reading things, but I'm sorry that I don't have anything more specific to offer up right now. I'm happy with any of the characters, prequel, sequel, missing scene, AU, any ship or gen. Go wild. |
letter | |
| healingmirth | Tin Man (2007) | Wyatt Cain, Glitch (Tin Man) | My favorite thing about Tin Man is that I am a sucker for all things world-buildy, and there is so much potential to fill in detail there. Feel free to include other characters if you'd like, but mostly I want to see what Cain (law enforcement) and Glitch's (...science?) roles have to do with it. (Feel free to integrate Glitch's bits and pieces back into Ambrose as much or as little as you want). However, I also unexpectedly fell in love with Cain/Glitch after Yuletide a few years ago, and I'd be equally thrilled to see a light-hearted gen or slash story about those two. (background/implied het with other characters is totally welcome if something there calls to you) |

| healingmirth | Tennis RPF | Roger Federer | I had a bit of a time trying to decide which character to hang this request on to keep it around the current players I'm familiar enough with but leave room to stretch - it came down to Rafa or Roger. I don't really ship anyone, and I know just about enough about the current top... let's say 8 to appreciate their potential in fic. What I'm most interested in from sports narratives is how they don't sync up with "normal" time lines and lives. What's it like for Roger, ten years in, for people to say he could be on his way out? What's it like to be competent, and confident, and objectively, still miles better than 99% of people who've ever picked up a tennis racket, but not the best? So if you're feeling an AU, (which I absolutely support the creation of!) that's more the vibe I'm looking for, and not so much the curtain!fic that shows us that he puts on his pants one leg at a time like everyone else. Alternatively, as I was writing my original notes for this, Federer had just had a ball boy come out and wipe Rafa's sweat off the court when they switched sides. Feel free to mine that. The news has also recently come out that Andy Murray is out for a bit following back surgery, so if a bit of RL-inspired improbable ensemble h/c suits your fancy, go for that! |

| healingmirth | BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show RPF | Showbot (Breakfast Show RPF) | howbot! I thought long and hard about whether to add Ian to my requested characters, because lordy has he been in a strop every time he's opened his mouth recently, and I feel like the potential of Ian trying to wrangle Showbot would be hilarious. If you're curious, I'm sure you can find some Showbot quotes or audio from the Breakfast Show up around tumblr, and there's always more or less a week of shows available at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mrh21 and Show Quizness happens around... 2.5 hours in? |
letter |
| healingmirth | Colditz (2005) | Willis (Colditz) | I nominated this one, so I pitched in three other names to make use of the nomination, but I'm really far more invested in Willis than I was by anyone else at the end of the thing. Anything Willis! In terms of canon compliant stories, I'd probably be most interested in his backstory, but if the characters catch your interest and you're not really feeling having to come up with period accuracy for something, I am totally fine with a modern (or future! or fantasy!) AU that hits the same themes. Although to be fair, I'm not likely to notice as my WWII British history knowledge is pretty nonexistent. |

| heeroluva | Hyakujitsu no Bara | Maiden Rose | Taki Reizen, Klaus von Wolfstadt | Why I love the series I really wasn't sure if I'd like this when I started reading as I'm usually not into things focusing on war, but I was drawn in. Taki and Klaus' relationship is so full of politics and intrigue that I can't help but want to know more. The author gives just enough to keep you wanting. I like that it's written in a high romance type style, but that Taki is clearly not a damsel in distress. I love Taki and Klaus' codependency even as unhealthy as it may be. I love the power dynamics here, how Taki has all the power in everything except the bedroom where Klaus takes control. The first time I read this, I hadn't realized that Klaus was raping Taki until the shower scene. It was a shock because it was such a counter to their first time in their dorms and again on the train. So much seemed to have changed in the six months that Klaus had been in Taki's country. Their relationship is so broken it makes my heart break for them. Taki wants what Klaus is offering, but the weight of his heritage/responsibilities won't let him admit it, leaving him guilty and ashamed. Klaus doesn't understand Taki's reticence, having (perhaps naively) thought that Taki would finally be his if he followed him. First we see Klaus' horror and guilt when he finally realizes exactly what he's been doing ("I didn't come to this country to treat you like this.”), even going so far as to say that he won't touch Taki again. Then when Klaus embraces Taki after their sword fight, and goes to kiss him but stops because "I promised not to touch you anymore,” it kind of broke me when it Taki stopped him from leaving. General preferences: I have a huge thing for Klaus being subservient to Taki, like when he kneels before him and kisses his sword, his hem, his hand, etc. I think both of these men have issues communicating, but I think Taki is worse feeling like he can't express himself because of his upbringing. I'd love to see something where their typical roles are switched: that is to say the next time that they have sex that Klaud insists on Taki topping. If you're not up for that, I'd hope to see their sex life take a step in the healthier direction somehow. (I had the stray thought when reading that maybe Klaud, especially since he was thinking of Taki as a woman, didn't know that precum/cum wasn't enough lubricant especially given his size, so I think it would be kind of awkward/funny for someone to have to explain it to him.) A lot of Klaus' past is unexplored so if you want to bring that in, it's be cool. Him playing both sides is cool, but I want his utmost loyalty to be to Taki. I'd be open to him actually being a lycanthrope too. If he'd always been one and was hiding it, the reveal could be spectacular. Or maybe he was bitten or came of age. Something else that could be interesting is if Taki's gods were actually real and made an appearance for whatever reason. I've also wondered what happened to Taki's parents, if he had any siblings. Also feel free to do something based on the Halloween special or the dorm special |

| heeroluva | Crimson Spell | Halvir "Havi" Hroptr, Valdrigr "Vald" Alsvieth | Why I love the series I love fantasy. I love magic and demons and all manners of mythological creatures. I LOVE nonhuman characters and possession, and this series has all of that in droves. I love Havi's relationship with the beast and Vald's struggle with it and his changing relationship with Havi. I love how Havi's relationship with Vald starts as a thing of selfishness but develops into more. I love beast!Vald and Vald!beast. Love the tattoos/markings, the fangs, the claws, the whole feral package. I love the struggle Vald has with where he came from and how he was raised and reconciling that with his current state. I love how Vald and Havi fight together (against a common enemy). General preferences: Generally crossdressing is something that I don't have many feelings for either way. I don't seek it out, but I also don't avoid it. That said, I really loved Vald in a dress here, so if you want to include some sort of shenanigans that calls for that again (or alternatively Havi in a dress), I'd be all for it. Vald protecting Havi and/or Havi protecting Vald is cool as is Havi using sex to calm down Vald or even Vald being the one to initiate sex. Havi's rape and use a puppet is never really addressed, and is something I'd like to see. What if in the end Vald doesn't want the curse removed because of fear he'll lose Havi, that Havi loves the beat most than him? Or what if the beast and Vald have merged so much that removal is not possible? Could he return home? Would he want to? Would his people accept him? I love the new white angel wings and can't help but wonder what they mean. |

| heeroluva | Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi | Onodera Ritsu, Takano Masamune, Yokozawa Takafumi | Why I love the series This was the first BL series that I watched. In all actuality, it should have been everything I hated. Generally modern settings and romantic comedies aren't my thing, but I was hooked from the start. It made me laugh and cry. The latter isn't too strange, but to have both is rare. I love the sexual tension and the misunderstandings and lack of communication. I love how Masamune can be so outrageous and Ritsu is justifiably outraged. I love how Ritsu struggles with what he wants. I love how Masamune takes every available opportunity to kiss Ritsu. I love Takafumi's loyalty to Masamune. I love the ridiculous drama. General preferences My ships here are Ritsu/Masamune and Ritsu/Masamune/Takafumi. The last might seem a bit weird, but I have thing for threesomes. I also saw the anime before I read the manga and didn't know about Zen until then, and the threesome idea had already firmly taken hold of me. The obvious request is Ritsu finally admitting that he loves Masamune and them working towards a more stable relationship. I think a meet the parents thing would be interesting here (Fandom cliché seems to be Ritsu's parents having an issue with his relationship with Masamune, which is fine, but them being shockingly accepting would be cool too.). Another idea would be a future fic with roles reversals where Ritsu finally takes over his family publishing company and Masamune comes to work for him, or maybe even the struggle with being in a relationship while working for rival companies. I also wouldn't be adverse to Ritsu taking control of sex here, or even topping from the bottom (no longer embarrassed by his desires). I love the idea of Ritsu/Masamune/Takafumi because I'm a sucker for happy a ending for everyone. Takafumi clearly loves Masamune, and he really gets the short end of the stick when Ritsu comes back into Masamune's life so unexpectedly. I can see see Ritsu running across a depressed Takafumi and awkwardly trying to talk to apologize, then to try to scare him off he kisses Ritsu. Maybe it would work for the moment, but it would get Ritsu thinking. He'd definitely have to talk to Masamune about it, but then it would develop from there. This would clearly have to be set in the future where Ritsu and Masamune have finally settled into a relationship and there would definitely be a lot of ensuing drama. But really I'm open to anything with these three if you have any ideas. I'm also totally open to some sort of fantasy AU here if you have any interest in that (vampires, shifters, dragons, magic, demons, and sorcerers). My favorite side pairings is Kisa/Yukina if you'd like to include them in anyway. |

| heeroluva | Vassalord | Johnny Rayflo, Charles J. Chrishunds | Why I love the series Vampires. Um, yes. I have a major thing for vampires, have ever since I was a kid. This series pulled me in from the beginning. Vampires are awesome, but a cyborg, vampire priest? Even better. It sounds totally cracky, but it not. Or at least not in a bad sense. I love vampirism when linked to the Church. I love Charley's relationship with Johnny and how it changes as the series goes on. I love how Charley is forced to grow and evaluate what's most important to him, and I love when Charley finally accepts himself and how truly important Rayflo is to him. I love, love, love the eroticism of the blood drinking. I love how Rayflo allows Charley to drink his blood so he doesn't have to feed on humans (thus often leaving himself weakened and vulnerable), and how Charley gets jealous of when Rayflo allows others to drink his blood. I love how messed up their relationship is and how they still clearly love each other. I love how Charley calls Rayflo "Master" without it being overtly sexual and how how Rayflo calls Charley "Cherry" and how it is. General preferences There's so much behind the scenes angst often countered with humor that I can't help but want more. I'd love to see the events leading up to Charley being turned by Rayflo and the events following. Maybe I was reading too much into it, but I think Charley is from the same blood line as Cheryl and that could an interesting line to explore. Post series sex filled with blood drink drinking were Charley's finally (at least partially) accepted himself and what he is and what he has with Rayflo would be amazing. (Normally violence between partners is something I don't like, but I wouldn't say no to it here because they're vampires and pretty indestructible and I kind of imagine their fights as foreplay.) Alternately a post series story where Charley and Rayflo try to navigate their fragile newness of what they have would be great. For some reason, I think Rayflo would be walking on eggshells. I have doubts that Rayflo ever shared much of his past with Charley, so that could be another route. Maybe Johnny could share his fear that given enough time, Charley would become twisted like Maria. My heart broke for Rayflo when he was raped/tortured by Barry. It didn't even seem like he tried to fight it, like it was a normal thing that he knew there was nothing he could do about. Barry seems to have shaped so much of Rayflo (Barry kept killing all those who Rayflo became close to, so he gave into darkness in an attempt to protect himself and others.) that I wonder how much of what we see it real. I think that could be an interesting route to explore. But really anything focusing on Charley and Rayflo would be great. Oh, also Minea is <3. |

| heeroluva | 氷の魔物の物語 | Koori no Mamono no Monogatari | The Ice-Cold Demon's Tale | Blood "Kaerichi" Lake Sierra Vise-Ell, Ishuka Lake Sierra Vise-Ell, Wild (Koori no Mamono), Rapunzel (Koori no Mamono) | Why I love the series I love locked away type stories and this series has it in droves (really all these characters in one way or anything). I love how Blood is changed by Ishuka from the very beginning, able to shed a tear for someone he just met, someone who didn't fear him or death. I love how Wild will do anything for Rapunzel. I love how Blood tries to protect Ishuka from himself. General preferences I ship Blood/Ishuka and Wild/Rapunzel here. Both pairings don't have to be in the fic, but both are welcome. Feel free to write sex here. Blood/Ishuka's first time would be cool, especially if Blood is animalistic and tries to hold back and fight himself, but Ishuka won't allow it. Even better if Ishuka initiates it. Something post series about how either couple living would be great. After being confined for so long I can't imagine that Wild and especially Rapunzel would be content to stay in their tower for too long. Also related to that what Wild did to keep Rapunzel safe broke my heart. I knew that he'd done something that was going to hurt, but when it was revealed and how Rapunzel tried to run even knowing what would happen... just oww. So doing a character study from Wild or Rapunzel's POV would be welcome. Exploring what Ishuka is post series could be another route. How would he deal with not aging. Maybe demons are okay with it, but I don't think humans are emotionally equipped for it. (Alteratively dealing with Rapunzel's own feelings on the issue could be a thing.) I'd also be totally open to something set way in the future in a modern setting where they're all still alive and seeing how they live now, how they hide and/or blend in, what they've become. |

| heeroluva | 八犬伝 -東方八犬異聞- | Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East | Ao (Hakkenden), Inuzuka Shino, Inukawa Sosuke, Satomi Rio | Why I love the series It's pretty? j/k. I love the mystery, that so much is unknown and that everyone is trying to find answers. I love how the characters are all drawn together. I love how Shino is the one that's holding everyone together despite barely being able to hold himself together at times. I love how he can go from acting like a child to acting like an adult in the blink of any eye. I love how Sosuke and Rio try to protect Shino. I love the diversity of the cast and how they seem to get along despite their differences. I love the vampire-ish aspect of Shino's need for blood after he's been seriously injured. I love that the show is able to make me laugh and cry. I love Megu. General preferences I ship Shino/Sosuke, Shino/Rio, Shino/Sosuke/Ao, and Shino/Rio/Sosuke. Gen with the requested characters (and the rest of the main cast) is also fine. It's heavily implied that Shino and Rio are brothers. I don't mind if you go that route or not, even if it leads to incest (and angst). I'd prefer for Shino to be in his adult form if he's in a relationship here. I'd like to see a take on where Shino (and Rio) came from and why Shino was separated from Rio. What is Rio keeping from Shino? If Rio isn't Shino's brother, why is Shino his responsibility? Why does he willingly give himself to Shino knowing that he could kill him? I really wasn't a fan of Ao until he saved Shino in the last ep of season two. There's a part of him that's still redeemable. How does Sosuke feel about him, now that he's regained his strength? Can Sosuke and Ao both survive or must one of them die so that they may live? Would they merge? As I've mentioned my loved for vampires and biting/bloodsucking multiple times in this letter, I'd love to see Shino in that situation be it sexual of not. Can Shino tame Murasame or will he eventually be consumed? What lengths will his friend and/or lover(s) go to save him? |

| heidi | The Tomorrow People (2013) | I loved the original series and I'm posting this having seen only the first episode of the new. If you've seen the original, then any callbacks to that series are amazing and squee-generating, and if you haven't then do not worry about it at all. I'm not listing any characters because I know the character list we had at nomination time would grow exponentially before Yuletide assignments were even handed out, so go where the inspirations take you! | letter | |
| heidi | Chess - Rice/Ulvaeus/Andersson | Frederick Trumper, Anatoly Sergievsky | I don't care which 'canon' or -verse of their story you base this off from - the Cast Concept Album, the Concert Recording with Idina, the Broadway run, random Swedish versions, or an amalgamation of all of them. Gen, slash, backstory, futurefics, anything as long as Freddy and/or Anatoly are featured in it. | letter |
| heidi | Tuff Turf (1985) | Morgan Hiller, Jimmy Parker | It was one of my favorite movies when I first saw it in the mid-80s on mid-afternoon-weekend cable tv, and given everything with James and Robert since - other films, crossing paths, whatever will happen with Ultron and the Marvel-verse - I just felt like I needed to ask for it this year. I'd most love anything set after the film, although missing scenes are fine, too. It could be just after, or years later - but their relationship is something that I'd love to read about. | letter |
| heidi | Twin Peaks | Audrey Horne, Dale Cooper | Yes, I ship Audrey/Dale, and think that Kyle MacLachlan's protests that Coop wouldn't be interested in her were ridiculous. I also believe that she survived the final episode. So, if you want to write something post-series and shippy that would be lovely, as would something set *during* the series that's shippy, or sans-ship-but-with-banter. Just, no major character death, especially at the hands of BOB, please. Side notes: I have never seen Fire Walk With Me, I have read both Laura's Diary and Agent Cooper's Tapes to Diane, and I love the soundtrack. | letter |
| heidi | Exiles Saga and Galactic Milieu - Julian May | Marc Remillard | Atoning Unifex | I adore Marc's story in the serieses but there's so much more to tell, missing scenes or even an AU if you want to go that route. I only listed him in the Character box because that's where I was hoping to find a match, but I'd be thrilled to read of his interactions with literally any other character, in any sort of circumstances. And my usual Children In Peril squick doesn't apply to Milieu stories because the whole premise of some of the canon storylines is Children In Peril so as long as it's no more descriptively graphic than the books, don't feel like you have to avoid it. You can look through the Milieu tags on my LJ (heidi8) to see my ramblings through the ages about Marc, btw, if you want. No obligation, though! |

| Heleven | New Girl | Winston Bishop | Winston is my favorite character and I feel like he gets the C plot in most episodes, thrown off by himself. It'd be great to see a story where he's center focus. | letter |
| Heleven | Ford Escape "The Heist" Commercial | Dark Haired Woman (The Heist Commercial), Red Haired Woman (The Heist Commercial) | This is the most plot-forward femslashy commercial I've ever seen. I love women being pro-active. I love women being capable. I guess you could write art thief gen, but what I really want out of this is some art thief femslash. | letter |
| Heleven | American Horror Story | Lana Winters, Sister Jude, Kit Walker (American Horror Story) | I'm looking for one of two things here (or both if you feel like combining them, but I imagine that would be difficult). Either fic about Lana doing anything. Character study from when she was at Briarcliff, or her afterward, when she's becoming part of the gay community in the 70's and how her views and way of going about relationships has changed since her time at Briarcliff. I doubt she'd be as trusting in her personal life, even with another woman. Or, I'm also interested in a story about Kit and Sister Jude when he's her caretaker. I'd love more about her relationship with his children, her relationship with him. |
letter |
| Heleven | American Horror Story: Coven | Queenie (American Horror Story: Coven), Zoe Benson (American Horror Story: Coven), Madison Montgomery (American Horror Story: Coven) | I realize that we're constantly going to be getting new information about these characters as the show progresses, and I'm okay with a fic that takes place after a certain episode and doesn't take new information into account. Do what you need to do, author. I've seen a lot of comments that it's so sad that Zoe will never be able to physically love someone, but she doesn't need her killer vagina for sex with women. Zoe/Queenie or Zoe/Madison is fine by me. Romantic or just sex, doesn't matter. For a gen prompt, I'd love to see the relationships between all three girls explored. That's one weird way to make friends. |
letter |
| Heleven | 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) | Kat Stratford, Bianca Stratford | I'm really looking for post-movie exploration of the relationship between Kat and Bianca, especially with the idea of them getting closer and forming a real bond. I like epistolary fics, so them corresponding after Kat leaves for college would be cool. | letter |
| Heleven | Elementary (TV) | Alfredo Llamosa, Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Joan Watson (Elementary) | Elementary needs so much more Alfredo. I'm not very interested in fic about his past. I'd rather see stuff about his present and future. I'm all for pairing him up with Joan, and perhaps them wrestling with the possible conflict of her being Sherlock's friend and him being Sherlock's sponsor. Or, if you'd rather gen, something about him and Sherlock. Sherlock is so quick to brush off anything he doesn't see as necessary, but Alfredo insists upon what's important. I also loved the arrangement of every hour Alfredo spends with Joan learning how to break into cars, Sherlock spends two with Alfredo. How did they come to that arrangement? I'm sure Alfredo was hesitant to teach anyone how to break into cars. | letter |

Please write me a little story about him any which way you want...perhaps he finds love, perhaps he has an adventure, perhaps something totally off the wall happens...whatever you enjoy writing! Thanks!!! | |

| hellscabanaboy | Super Dangan Ronpa 2 | I'd love something set post-canon, dealing with any combination of the kids' reactions to the reveals at the end of the game, how they start to reconcile with it, and the effects on the relationships between them. Further spoilery prompting is up at my Dear Author letter! | letter | |
| hellscabanaboy | Fate/Zero | Lancer (Fate/zero), Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi, Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri | Team Lancer pushes each other's buttons in all the worst ways possible, and I'm looking for fic that explores the ways that gets played out. Their arc is pretty complete, but there are plenty of opportunities for missing-scene fic - what led Kayneth to choose Diarmuid as his replacement for Rider's relic, and how did the contract get formed when Lancer was first summoned? What was their dynamic during the time Sola had the command seals, and what did it do to the power balance between them? How did Kayneth (fail to) reconcile his experiences of Lancer's memories with his ingrained distrust - or for that matter, did Sola get any of the memories, and how did she react? If you want to do a branching-off-from-canon AU, feel free to go in that direction as well, but I'm not looking for fix-it fic - I'd like something that goes into the way these characters clash and the damage done by it. Nothing with Team Lancer is likely to be free of angst, but if you don't want to write something totally grim for Yuletide, feel free to focus more on Lancer and his experiences in the Grail War. I love his relationship with Saber, and I also like the way he experiences the War as a personal journey of redemption, albeit one that's also going pretty badly wrong. If you go for a lighter fic, I'd rather the focus be less on the team as a whole, because I don't think there's much of a positive note to strike there, but I love Diarmuid and I'd like to see anything dealing with his canon arc and the issues it brings up. |
letter |
| hellscabanaboy | Sengoku Basara | Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Sengoku Basara), Takenaka Hanbei (Sengoku Basara) | Hideyoshi and Hanbei's relationship is basically a contradiction by its own terms: they claim to have eliminated any kind of attachment from their lives in favor of pursuit of strength, but not only is their relationship one of intimacy and caring, but of mutual reliance in ways that their own ideals would seem not to allow. I want fic for them that explores the contradictions inherent in that dynamic and the ways that they help each other to be more the people that they've decided to make themselves. If you're up for it, I'd love something that goes into how the care they take for each other changes with Hanbei's approaching death - or the ways it doesn't - and how they deal with offering and accepting that kind of care. Or the power dynamic between them, and the ways they're intentionally constructing it to reinforce Hideyoshi's supremacy, even though Hanbei's in the position of directing the Toyotomi war machine including Hideyoshi himself (and both of them see him as vital for that purpose). In general, though, I love these two and the terrible world of total warfare they're so desperate to create, and I'd be thrilled to see anything that deals with them and the harshness and the intimacy from which they build their relationship. |
letter |
| hellscabanaboy | Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic | Titus Alexius, Scheherazade (Magi) | This is as much a request for Reim as it is anything; you're welcome to use either or both of the characters. I love the worldbuilding in Magi, and the opportunities to take off from real world history in a different direction. If you're interested in that, I'd love to see something about how Scheherazade has influenced Reim's development over the time she's been its magi, and how she's come to develop such love and especially trust for its people. If you don't want to do the history route, I'd love fic that explores Titus' place in Reim at the point canon left off and after, the ways in which he is and isn't able to stand directly in Scheherazade's place, and how he goes about forming his own relationship with Reim and her people. If you'd rather do something with a more personal focus, Scheherazade's relationships with her king candidates, Titus with Aladdin and Sphintus, either in Magnostadt or after the war, or Titus' relationship with Mogamett and the trust he develops while still rejecting his magician-supremacy ideals are all things I enjoy and I'd love to see more of. |

Also, there's an awful lot of Harry/Marcone slash in this fandom, and though I have no objection to slash I don't like this particular pairing. I'm not going to say "absolutely no Harry/Marcone", though, because a sufficiently good author can make me buy ANYTHING. |

| hellzabeth | Carmilla - J. Sheridan Le Fanu | Carmilla (Carmilla), Laura (Carmilla) | God I will accept anything. Smut, fluff, AU, anything. I love this story a whole lot and the fact that it's so brief brings sadness into my life. If you need more inspiration, here's a few ideas: modern reinterpretation? Carmilla's POV of the story? Laura's? Alternate ending? Role switch? Go nuts! | |
| hellzabeth | Ib (Video Game) | Ib - Character, Garry (Ib), Mary (Ib) | I know it's been done a whole lot, but I would like to see what Ib's life is like after the Forgotten Portrait ending, where she escapes with Mary and forgets Garry. Does she ever go back to the gallery? If so, does she see the portrait, and what happens? A fun idea that's always bounced around my mind in reference to this ending is that Ib grows up to be an art thief, who eventually steals the portrait. Just a general idea. Mary's appearance is optional, but if you put her in, please don't demonise her. | |
| hellzabeth | Mononoke | Medicine Seller, Kayo Otherself | I will take literally anything - I love this series a whole bunch and it has a special place in my heart. More fic for it just makes me happy, especially if it's in the same style as the original series. I love me a good mystery. (And Medicine Seller's sense of dark humour.) | |
| hellzabeth | Dangan Ronpa | Naegi Makoto, Togami Byakuya, Kirigiri Kyouko, Asahina Aoi | I'd love to see the journey the DR1 survivors made from leaving the school to joining the Future Foundation. That gap is so interesting to me. Please fill it! (I will take any pairings) | |

| hhertzof | Morgan Swift - Martine Lesley | Ah, the mysterious Sam. I think it's time Jenny and Sally met him (or her, I'm not picky). Awesome adventures. Crossovers welcome but not required. Or maybe flashback fic about Morgan's life before Coolidge High. Her summer of surfing/when she met Sting/that Colorado dig. | letter | |
| hhertzof | Little Mosque on the Prairie | Yasir Hamoudi, Sarah Hamoudi | This is my "I only have one prompt and I hope you approve" wish. I adored Yasir & Sarah's marriage and am still going wtf over their divorce. Fix-it please, or at least make it less out of the blue. Alternately, scenes from earlier in their marriage would be fine (perhaps the story of how they met/fell in love/got married or when and why Sarah decided to convert originally). | letter |
| hhertzof | Sofia the First (Cartoon) | First of all, include anyone you like. Sofia and her family, friends, other princes and princesses, Clover, Bailiwick etc. My only real request for this is light/fluffy/heartwarming fic (not necessarily all three at once, but you get the idea - I don't mind issue stories, but try to keep to the tone of the original series). I do have a few prompt ideas: Sofia's first introduction to her father-to-be, Sofia's life before her mother married the King, a story in which Amber isn't proved wrong by Sofia or in which they find they have something in common, a story in which Cedric manages some successful magic, or perhaps future fic about Amber, Sofia and James and how things change as they grow up. | letter | |
| hhertzof | Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell | If you focus on the real characters, I'd love fic about Cath's sophomore year. More Wren'n'Cath, more Cath/Levi, more Cath'n'Reagan, more Wren/Jandro. More about Cath's family or Levi's or even Reagan's. Anyway, sophomore year...does Cath change her major? meet Levi's family? what's it like with Cath & Wren living on the same floor? now that Cath's finished Carry On, Simon, does she decide to branch out and write for Yuletide or maybe get into Inspector Spacetime? There are so many great relationships in these books, feel free to include or omit anyone you want. If you want to write about Wren's freshman year, that would be good too. For Simon & Baz & co>., you can write whatever you want. Shippy, crack, fluff. Write me more of the original books or more of Cath's fanfic (or someone else's fanfic). I'd love to know more about Penelope and Agatha who mostly just get namechecked in the books. Crossovers with other fictional fandoms such as Inspector Spacetime, Ghost Soup Infidel or Wormhole Extreme are welcome. Or, go for the crack crossover - have Cath & Co. meet Simon & Co. or Cath & Wren discover magic is real, etc. etc. |

| hhertzof | The Charmings (TV) | Snow White Charming, Eric Charming, Lillian White, The Mirror (The Charmings) | Crackfic would be good here, or a typical 80s sitcomesque story. Feel free to include the kids and/or Luther. | letter |
| hhertzof | Ned & Stacey (TV) | Ned Dorsey, Stacey Colbert Dorsey | I'd really like future fic here too. What happened after that last episode? Do Ned & Stacey get back together? Or alternately, give me some farcical episode from their marriage. | letter |
| hiddencait | North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV | I just discovered this mini-series (and book actually), and frankly it took my breath away. The scenes and costumes were stunning, and Richard Armitage just flat took my breath away for most of the mini-series, though especially during the train station scene. Really, I'd be thrilled with anything from this series, though I would love if John and Margaret were the focus! | letter | |
| hiddencait | King Arthur (2004) | Tristan (King Arthur (2004)) | This series was the first that I actually managed to write a full length fic in that I felt truly proud of. It's remained a fandom close to my heart even though I haven't written anything for it in years. In the film itself, Mads Mikkelsen's Tristan absolutely captivated me, and really that's all I need for this request: Tristan being Tristan, whether it's with his brothers-in-arms, his animals, or some unknown lady. Really anything Tristan and non-slash would make me happy. | letter |
| hiddencait | The Mummy Series | Oh The Mummy! This and The Mummy Returns are some of the movies that I put on whenever I need a pick-me-up. I grin like a loon during all of it. I will be thrilled with any kind of gen or het Mummy fic, but optional details being optional — Ardeth Bay was definitely my favorite character lol. Oh btw, I really tend to ignore that the third movie exists. | letter | |
| hiddencait | Andromeda | Gaheris Rhade, Telemachus Rhade | Yet another of those nostalgia fandoms. Both of the men mentioned here are two of my faves from the show, but sadly there are very few fics that really showcase how awesome they are. Gaheris ala the Unconquerable Man was absolutely fantastic — I'd love to see an AU where he somehow survived along with Dylan and the crew. The trust issues there would be a treat to see played out. And Telemachus as his genetic heir just made me smile for some reason so I'd just love to see more of him in general — more screen time with his wife and family would be delightful, too. Honestly, it would be a blast to see either Rhade take center stage. | letter |
| hiddencait | The Unusuals | Jason Walsh, Allison Beaumont, Casey Shraeger | Finally, The Unusuals is one of those shows on my "to be mourned” list. It was such a fun take on all the cop dramas out there, and Jeremy Renner was delightful as Jason Walsh. I'm pretty easy on this one — I'll take any of the three requested characters in pretty much any mix and match of pairings; the chemistry just works with everybody really. This is definitely one of my trio fic fandoms if you think Jason can manage to keep up with both Casey and Allison all at once! | letter |
| hiddencait | Skip Beat! | Ren Tsugura, Mogami Kyoko | This particular fandom is one of my guilty pleasure fandoms. I flat leave it open to anything with these two characters, shippy or gen. Though, please don't have them pairing up with anyone else! Thanks! | letter |

| Hikario | Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell | Robert Frobisher (Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell) | To quote the Producers: "Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay!" I adore period queer experience and all the murky unknowns of history; I also have a soft spot for fantastic bohemian artist lives. AUs are always a delight, especially in this world of wildly unique continuing narrative across time. Take of that anything you like! |
letter |
| Hikario | Emma - Jane Austen | Emma Woodhouse | Happily ever after never ends at that; I would love more, the real world past the fantasy. Further adventures of Emma as a person, more than merely Mrs. Knightly! | letter |
| Hikario | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Anaesthesia | I'm terribly intrigued by the idea of living on, really living, in the form of memory only. The power of her memory really does save Richard's life; it's a very important and big thing that is somehow left of her when nothing else is. | letter |
| Hikario | The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) | Halloweentown - Character | I love worldbuilding- Something about the greater world or magic of this place, the people in it, perhaps outside of the time frame or scope of the film? | letter |
| hikaru | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May | I really really want to see backstory for May. They hint at it, what with her being "The Calvary" and all and being awesome, but I'd love to see some fannish theories on just what she got up to before she took her desk job. OR maybe one of those stories where everyone's heard a different rumor about her exploits, and they're all sharing them with each other. I'm sure even SHIELD gossips about missions, no matter how secret they are. Feel free to pull in whatever other characters from the show (or larger universe) that you'd like to tell her story. |
letter |
| hikaru | Rose Under Fire - Elizabeth Wein | Rose Justice, Maddie Brodatt (Rose Under Fire), Jamie Beaufort-Stuart (Rose Under Fire) | I loved everything about this book and how it intertwined with Code Name Verity. I'd love a story about Rose and Maddie's friendship -- maybe even a flash forward to a time far removed from the war, when they've all got their own lives that they've rebuilt. Also, I did little kicking feet of delight whenever it was revealed that Maddie and Jamie were married, so I'd love a look at their life. Does Julie's ghost haunt their marriage (maybe literally, ha)? Do they both keep flying after the war? Maybe a look at a stolen moment of time where they can just be together? Really, anything about any of these characters would make me tremendously happy. |
letter |
| hikaru | Hannibal (TV) RPF | Hugh Dancy (Hannibal RPF), Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal RPF) | I selected Hugh and Mads, but feel free to throw in any/all other actors, crew, etc. from the show. First, I'm not looking for anything shippy or sexy funtimes or anything. Bromance-y awesome friendship is fine, or even flirting, but I'm not looking for anyone to hook up. Here are some ideas of things I'd like to see: - How the cast/crew deals with being on such a dark show on their downtime. Fun, games, pranks, misappropriating props, etc. - Have you seen the gag reel and have you seen the amount of times Hugh Dancy trips over his own two feet? That shit is hilarious. Or in general extrapolate on some of the funny moments in the gag real, or create your own fic-style gag reel. - Mads gave an interview once where he said he was going to have to have someone teach him about Tumblr. That is comedy gold, please mine it. |
letter |
| hikaru | Shame (2011) | Brandon Sullivan, Sissy Sullivan | This is a repeat from Yuletide past, but I still would love to see fic explore this. * Backstory, for either of them. The movie leaves this wide open to interpretation. Take a stab at it. Brandon and Sissy clearly come from a very, very dark place, so it's okay if the fic is similarly dark. (If you don't want to go dark, that's fine - I'm sure they had some light moments in their collective past.) * After the movie: Does Brandon change? Does Sissy get help? How do they move on from what happened? Do they just ignore it and go back to their old patterns? This is a movie about addiction and self-destruction -- not everyone can just pick themselves up, dust off, and start fresh, after all. |
letter |
| hikaru | Mysterious Production of Eggs (Album) | Basically, if there is an Andrew Bird album nominated, I am contractually obligated to select it and ask for fic for it. I will request it, and here I am. I am pretty much a Certified Andrew Bird Superfan and so seeing this on here makes me happy in all my happy places. I'd rather not read RPF about Bird himself, it just feels a little invasive for such a private man, but if you're inspired and feel like you can do it in a sensitive, non-exploitative manner, go ahead and give it a shot. Here's what I said last time this album was nominated; it all still holds true today: This is one of my top five albums EVER. It was the first Andrew Bird album I really fell in love with, and therefore it's very special to me. It has some of my favorite songs in the WORLD on it. I do not care what you write. Write original fiction, write about a brilliant artist who scraps an album a ton of times because it doesn't feel right, write a crossover with another fandom (I'll make a list in my Yuletide letter), write experimental poetry, I don't care. All of the songs tell such interesting stories in their own right: the strength and control of the woman in Fake Palindromes ("some lonely night we can get together / and I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather / and drill a tiny hole into your head"), the sudden societal change in Opposite Day ("and those who can't quite function / in society at large / are gonna wake up on this morning / and find that they're in charge"), the ironically timely apocalypse of Tables and Chairs ("after the fall / there'll be no more countries / no currencies at all / we're gonna live on our wits / throw away survival kits / trade butterfly knives for adderal"). The lyrics give you all you need to write a story. Immerse yourself in Bird's world and have at it. Any rating, any type pairing, any content is OK. |

| hikaru | Breaking Bad | Gustavo Fring, Max Arciniega | Backstory! Gus Fring backstory! How did he and Max come up with the idea to approach the cartel? Or start cooking meth in the first place? Were he and Max just business partners, or were they more? Or go further back -- what, exactly, did Gus Fring get up to in Chile? I need to know, and the show clearly isn't going to have those answers for me anymore. |
letter |
| hilandmum | Northern Exposure | Joel Fleischman, Maggie O'Connell, Ed Chigliak, Marilyn Whirlwind | I'm completely open on whether this takes place during the run of the show or is something that happens later in their lives. I just love these characters. | |
| hilandmum | Touch (TV) | Jake Bohm, Calvin Norburg, Amelia Robbins | A story about Calvin helping the two kids escape the bad guys that shows he actually cares about them and not only what they can do. | |
| hilandmum | Once and Future King series - T. H. White | Wart | King Arthur, Gawaine (Once and Future King), Gareth (Once and Future King) | A story about Wart's early life would be great. To me the best part of the book was the beginning. | |

| Hildigunnur | Queer as Folk (UK) | Vince Tyler, Stuart Alan Jones, Nathan Maloney, Hazel Tyler | Fourteen years later, Vince and Stuart find themselves in Manchester again. Nathan is getting married, Alfred has a girlfriend and Hazel just meddles in everything. | letter |
| Hildigunnur | Struck by Lightning (2012) | Carson Phillips, Malerie Baggs | Malerie and her life after Carson's death but with Carson's narration. Maybe the Carson in Marerie's head is narrating, maybe he's haunting her. | letter |
| Hildigunnur | Shameless (US) | Debbie Gallagher, Carl Gallagher | Debbie Gallagher's not-so-good kind-of-disastrous plan of keeping Carl out of trouble he wasn't actually in. | letter |
| hitlikehammers | Elementary (TV) | Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Joan Watson (Elementary) | —Joan/Sherlock, negotiating what they are and aren't —Sherlock interacting with Joan's family (before or while he's in a relationships with her, or heck, even without the pairing dynamic) —Irene Adler, character study |
letter |

He'd be great, too. |

Alternatively (or concurrently, author's choice) I'd love to see Ichabod and Abbie getting closer as they work together. | letter |

| hobgoblin123 | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | T. E. Lawrence, Ali ibn el Kharish | Dear Yuletide Author, I love that movie to pieces and have watched it for about fifty times so far with no end in sight. As long as your story is about the relationship between Lawrence and Ali I'll be overjoyed to read it. Slash would be great, but is not an ultimate prerequisite. Feel free to surprise me! |
|
| hobgoblin123 | Grimm (TV) | Monroe (Grimm), Nick Burkhardt | Dear Yuletide Author, my favourite character in the series definitely is Monroe. Nick and him celebrating Christmas together would be lovely, maybe with several Wesen and the resulting chaos thrown in for a bit of spice. Slash is very welcome, but friendship's also fine. Renard making a guest appearance would also be great, but it's up to you. Feel free to surprise me! Thanks a lot in advance!!! |
|
| hobgoblin123 | Those Who Hunt the Night - Barbara Hambly | Lydia Asher, James Asher, Simon Ysidro | Well, dear Yuletide Author, I certainly loved the relationship between Lydia and Simon Ysidro in the 2nd book 'Travelling with the Dead', so if you want to elaborate on their blossoming emotions I'd be overjoyed. Maybe Lydia lets the vampire feed on her, leading to an intimate relationship? If on the other hand you'd like to write a love story between Asher and Ysidro it's also fine by me. Same goes for a threesome or a more 'innocent' adventure story. Be certain that I'm going to gobble up everything you have to offer. It's such a small fandom, alas. Many thanks for your efforts in advance! | |
| hobgoblin123 | Gil's All Fright Diner - A. Lee Martinez | Earl (Gil's All Fright Diner), Duke (Gil's All Fright Diner) | God, I loved that book! Anything that crosses your mind, dear Yuletide Author, as long as it's about Earl and Duke. | |
| hobgoblin123 | Enemy Mine (1985) | Willis Davidge, Jeriba Shigan | Just surprise me, dear Yuletide Author. Slash would be great, but friendship's also fine. Just please don't let them kill each other. If you want to invent an AU storyline where Jeriba survives giving birth and they raise the (their?) child together feel free to do so. Thanks a lot! | |
| hobgoblin123 | Coldfire Trilogy - C. S. Friedman | Damien Vryce, Gerald Tarrant (Coldfire) | Dear Yuletide Author, writing a proper letter on livejournal and linking it is lamentably beyond a newbie like me. Sorry! Actually I'd be fine with almost everything about my favourite characters, but I'd certainly appreciate something fluffy and connected to the festive season. Gerald and Damien celebrating their first Yule together, maybe, including a fair amount of bickering about the food, decoration, old Earth traditions and so on. Slash would be lovely although you don't have to write anything explicit if you don't want to (not that I mind), but if you don't like that and prefer a friendship story it's also okay. Just in case you're not into a Yuletide fic: I love vampire stories, lol. Squicks: one character raping the other and making him 'like' it. I had to endure reading that once before and don't care for an encore. Furthermore I'd be greatly pleased if you could avoid too much AU like 'Damien and Gerald live on Earth and go to High School'. Otherwise everything should be fine. Many thanks in advance!!! |
|
| Hokuto | Marathon (Computer Games) | This is a fandom I adore with all my heart and would gleefully read ANYTHING for - worldbuilding, extended adventures, AUs, anything - and also I can gush about it for hours, so it's probably best to just see my letter for specific prompts because there are millions of them. XD All the characters are dear to my heart - even Tycho, jerk that he is, and the terrifying Tfear - but Durandal is one of my favorite characters of ALL TIME, and I adore his relationship with the security officer, so stuff about them would be especially nice. But I'd still love ANYTHING. | letter | |
| Hokuto | Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena | Mikage Souji, Kagee Shoujo | Shadow Play Girls | Utena is one of my favorite anime of ALL TIME (and I have watched a fair bit, okay), and while I love pretty much every character and find even the ones I don't love fascinating, Mikage/Nemuro has a special place in my heart just for being such a tragic fool. I want to punch him like Utena and then hug him or something, I don't know. He's just such a stupid genius and so sad and memory-wipe/disappearance-from-existence things give me the screaming horrors (DON'T GET ME STARTED ON KINGDOM HEARTS, there's a reason my tag for those games is "kingdom heartbreaks"), so - er - I guess I'd like fix-it fic of some sort? It doesn't have to be all sunshine and not-roses, just something with a little hope in it that he might have actually escaped Ohtori like Utena or at least gotten to meet the real Mamiya's spirit in an afterlife or - something. (I know Mamiya wasn't nominated so please feel free to ignore this parenthetical aside, but I really liked the glimpses of their relationship that we saw, so I'd adore fic of them just interacting before everything went wrong, just the two of them or with Tokiko there, too.) I don't know if this is a widespread theory or not, but one of my friends once suggested to me that Mikage and Tokiko might actually be Utena's parents (they both have pink hair, even if it's slightly different shades, and he does mistake her for Tokiko), so fic exploring that possibility would be really cool, or something that deals with the way the Black Roses work. But honestly, I'd just take anything focused on Mikage. As for the shadow girls - they are an endless, endless delight! I'd love fic about how they come up with their skit ideas and whether or not they're aware of how their skits tie into the larger world of Ohtori. How long have they been in business, anyway? What kinds of skits did they do for pre-Utena duels? They're already pretty meta as characters, so meta fic about them would be absolutely awesome. (And if it happens to tie into Mikage/the Black Rose arc in any way - so much the better!) |
letter |
| Hokuto | RWBY | Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos | NORA VALKYRIE IS QUEEN OF MY HEART. She's so hilarious and badass and adorable and even in the few episodes available at the time I write this, I have fallen in love with her. *_* She and Lie Ren have the cutest freakin' relationship in the world ("She's been having this recurring dream all month" cracked me the fuck up, so perfect), and so whatever develops in the coming episodes, I just want to see more awesome Nora and Lie Ren adventures! And Pyrrha is really great so far, too - I love that she's kind of shy but super strong and wants to help people. I'd love seeing how she fits in with Nora and Lie Ren as they get used to being on the same team together, and what kind of friendship they'll develop! ... if it turns into a threesome that's TOTALLY OKAY. I like Jaune too, but I'm mad at him for rudely refusing Pyrrha's help so unless something changes my mind before signups close, I'm not specifically requesting him. Please feel free to include him anyway if you want to, though! XD |
letter |
| Hokuto | Beelzebub (Anime & Manga) | Hanazawa Yuka, Himekawa Tatsuya, Oga Tatsumi, Kanzaki Hajime | o, this fandom has sort of become one of my perennial exchange requests, but I can't help it! I just adore everyone in it so much! And I especially adore Himekawa and Kanzaki and Yuka - Himekawa and Kanzaki have such a great broship in the anime, and they're GODDAMN AWESOME in the manga and I can't help shipping them super hard. And Yuka is my favorite space case in the world, I adore her and her broship with Kanzaki, so either Himekawa/Kanzaki (HOT HAIRPULLING PORN) or Himekawa/Kanzaki/Yuka would be wonderful. Due to recent manga developments, I have also developed a strong craving for Oga/Kanzaki because - well, DAMN, him being the first to sign up as Oga and Beel's vassal just hit my loyalty kink like the fist of an angry god. But as long as hilarious demon-raising delinquent hijinks are involved, I WILL LOVE IT. I've watched the entire anime and keep up with the manga weekly, so no worries about spoiling me for anything! | letter |
| hollenius | Political RPF - UK 20th-21st c. | Walter Harrison ( Political RPF - UK 20th-21st c.), Bernard Weatherill (Political RPF - UK 20th-21st c.) | If you offered to write this, then I'm assuming you saw "This House" too. Their relationship is fascinating, the real life events in Parliament at that time are fascinating, and I will literally be happy with anything you could possibly write. Would probably prefer political intrigue or just their friendship/relationship over PWP, but I'm fine with anything. | letter |
| hollenius | Mad Men | I didn't want to select characters from the drop-down list because it would assume for sorting purposes that I would want them all in a fic together, and I don't necessarily want that. From the list of characters to choose from, I'd be happy with anything about Peggy, Joan, Lane, Pete, or Roger. I'm pretty tired of the Drapers by this point and I am not a fan of Bob Benson. I'll probably have more details worked out in my Dear Yuletide Author letter if you need some scenarios. | letter | |
| hollenius | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman | I'm so emotionally distraught by this show that I'm not even sure what I'm looking for in a fic right now (my Dear Yuletide Author letter will probably have to elaborate more). All I can say is that I don't want anything pornographic. My heart breaks for Jesse all the time anyway, so I'm fine if you want to do something horrible to him in a fic (god knows horrible things keep happening in the show!) or if you want to be kind and give him some sort of happy ending. | letter |
| hollenius | 19th Century CE RPF | Gladstone (19th Century CE RPF), Benjamin Disraeli (19th Century CE RPF) | My favourite pair of bitchy British political rivals. Archnemeses, rather; "rival" is too tame a term for the ridiculous hyperbolic ways the two men describe each other. I'd be happy with anything you write! It might be interesting to look back at the beginning of their intersecting careers, when they were still on relatively civil terms with one another. Or late in their careers after everything had sort of exploded into pure, seething hatred (What would've happened in "Falconet" had Disraeli lived to finish it? I can't believe he was spending the end of his life essentially writing fanfiction--anti-fanfiction?--about Gladstone.) Whatever you want to write and whatever direction you want to take it in, serious or comedic, is fine. | letter |
| hollimichele | Top Ten (Comic) | Steven Traynor, Wulf (Top Ten) | I love this fandom dearly, and there are lots of stories in it that would make me happy-- one of my favorite things about it is the breadth and depth of the universe. That said, I would be particularly delighted to read about Steve and Wulf at any point in their relationship between the end of Forty-Niners and the present day. | letter |
| hollimichele | Pushing Daisies | Ned (Pushing Daisies), Charlotte Charles | Ugh, show, why did you leave us too soon? I have SO MANY QUESTIONS about what the future holds for Ned and Chuck, you don't even know. I would adore fix-it fic that allows them to finally, FINALLY touch, but the in-show yearning and sexy workarounds are pretty great too. A word of advice: writing porn in the jim Dale narrator voice is exactly as difficult as it sounds, and if you manage it I will be beyond impressed. | letter |
| hollimichele | Matilda - Roald Dahl | Matilda Wormwood (Matilda - Roald Dahl) | Grown-up Matilda would, I suspect, be a really interesting person, and I'd love to see your take on her. Any other point in her growing up would be interesting, too-- what kind of parent-child relationship does she have with Miss Honey? How does she relate to other kids as she gets older? Do her powers stay gone, or do they ever come back? | letter |
| hollimichele | WWII RPF | Julia Child (WWII RPF), Roald Dahl (WWII RPF), Christopher Lee (WWII RPF) | While it's unlikely that the above historical figures (all of them well above 6' tall) ever had a team-up while engaged in clandestine Nazi-fighting activities during World War Two (although all of them were, in historical fact, so engaged), it would have been really, really awesome if they did. I would very much love to see the improbably tall spy adventures of Julia, Roald, and Christopher. Bonus points if you can work in John Pertwee-- I suspect he drives the getaway car. | letter |
| hollimichele | Pleasantville (1998) | George Parker, Betty Parker | The story I would be most interested in seeing for this fandom would, I suspect, be sort of a challenge, and I totally would not blame anyone who does not want to attempt it. Basically, I would be really interested in a story about the first non-white person to come to Pleasantville, how they're received, and what their impression of the town is. There's more about that in my letter, but I would also love a post-movie story about the challenges of life in Technicolor and the ways in which the people of Pleasantville have to adjust to their new existence. George and Betty would, I suspect, be really good eyes to view that change through. | letter |
| hollow_echos | Godspeaker Trilogy - Karen Miller | Hekat (Godspeaker Trilogy), Raklion (Godspeaker Trilogy), Vortka (Godspeaker Trilogy), Zandakar (Godspeaker Trilogy) | Hekat knows she is fated for something special, she is seen in the god's eye and he maneuvers the world about her such that her path opens before her, without barriers to slow her down. What is haunting about this series to me, and in truth, my favorite portion of the trilogy, is Hekat's rise to power within her country. From birth as a slave girl all the way through to her taking the throne, no barrier or person has stood against her. What more, she knows it. She dares do things that no other mortal would get away with and live: as a slave she spoke against her owners, as the wife of a warlord, she dared to speak against the high priest. As a young woman, Hekat bows to no one, she tempts fate and rides its fury toward her destiny without concern that her god may ever fail her (at least during her rise to power, fate has different plans in store for her later on). As strange as it is, one of my favorite types of characters are the ones that you know are special. Some know it, others deny it, and still more are obvious to the roles they will play in shaping the world. Hekat is rare for the fact that she recognizes it, and instead of being humbled or frightened by such power, she gathers it around her like a cloak and flaunts it in the face of all who will stop to stare. I would love any story focusing on Hekat's rise to power as the empress, something that expands the canon or perhaps a new way that fate bends around her (other examples from the series include the slaver purchasing her for her beautiful eyes, her dancing before the warlord and attracting his eye, the magical stone that falls into her possession, the bouts where she passes invisible to those around her, or her eerie skill with a blade). Really, I am entranced by Hekat as a character, by her blind devotion to her god and the way that this divine entity seems to bend the world around her path. As far as other characters go, again, I'd love to see her interactions with other characters that witness her rise to power such as Raklion, who becomes her path to the throne, Nagarak, who tries to stand in her path and is trampled for his efforts, or Vortka, who witnesses the monster Hekat is becoming, but follows in her shadow because it seems that the god he has devoted his life to favors her movements in the world. More than anything else, the tag line for the novel says it all, "This is the story of Hekat, slave to no man.” She may not be a character you love (indeed, she is the villain of this tale), she can be cruel and vicious and ruthless, but there is an eerie and haunting melody to her life's story, and I would absolutely love a fic that gave me the opportunity to visit this world and her as a character once more. |

| hollow_echos | Cal Leandros - Rob Thurman | Niko Leandros, Caliban Leandros, Robin Goodfellow (Cal Leandros) | The thing that really strikes me about this series, and continues to do so, is the relationship between the two brothers (Niko and Cal). I am a hurt/comfort fan through and through and we see so many canonical moments like that. My favorite dynamic is probably when you have one character not really taking care of themselves after getting injured. Cue a friend stepping in and fussing over them (such cuteness!). I love fics where people are protective of their loved ones as a general rule. For this particular series, I love when you have hurt!Cal in some capacity and Niko going absolutely to any lengths necessary to protect him, make sure he takes the time out to recover, etc. I just get so humbled when see the depths of their relationship in this capacity, they are so dedicated to one another. We've had so many moments in the series of physical whump followed by wonderful comfort, as well as emotional moments (like when Cal gets possessed by that creature who lived in the mirror and Niko does little things like keep all the mirrors in the apartment covered for him). Little mundane moments like that seem so small, but they really do show how much our boys care for one another. I requested this fandom for Yuletide two years ago and received a wonderful fic that explored just that moment: the covering of mirrors after Darkling. There are those fandoms that just resonate with you, and the Landros series is certainly such a fandom for me. One I adore enough to see it written for again if I were to be so fortunate. Now back to fandom specifics that I love! There are times when Niko's devotion to Cal blinds him: when he throws himself head first into harm's way for the sake of his brother, when Cal gets amnesia and Niko goes weeks without sleeping, following every lead to dead end after dead end, making threats to people he might think have an inkling to Cal's location. There are times when you wonder whether Niko goes too far: like the memories of Darkling and his decision to have Rafferdy block those memories to an extent or give him terrible migraines every time he opens a gate. We understand the motivation: to keep Cal safe, to keep him from harm or causing irreversible harm to others, but there are still moral issues at play there where Niko rides the line between right and wrong in his pursuit of keeping his brother alive, safe, and in one piece (both mentally and physically). Basically, if you give me a fic that explores any of these themes, I will be bouncing up and down with joy. And one final note, if possible, I would prefer a fic that focuses on their familial/emotional relationship, I don't normally ship family members romantically. |

| hollow_echos | Lightbringer Series - Brent Weeks | Kip Guile, Gavin Guile, Ironfist (Lightbringer), Karris White Oak | Brent Weeks is just one of those authors that manages to come up with some revolutionary fantasy concepts to base his worlds around and the Light Bringer series is no exception. I love the magic system he's envisioned with the colors and splitting light. There's been a lot of fantasy books written over the years and the genre has given birth to many common tropes and clichés. I love that Brent Weeks neatly sidesteps many of these pitfalls to have come up with something as unique as the magic system in this series. For this prompt I have requested 3 characters: Gavin Guile, Kip Guile, and Iron Fist. It's probably imperative to define which character I mean by Gavin Guile since there was a switcheroo pulled after the False Prism's War. By Gavin Guile I mean the current acting Prism (not the one locked up in a cell). While all of the characters in this series are fascinating, Kip is really the one who hits me close to home. He's not the typical hero at the beginning of the book, he's a gangly kid brought up in destitute poverty. Through meeting the Prism his life is catapulted in a different direction with a far greater trajectory than he would've ever probably imagined for himself most likely. What I love about Kip is that he really doesn't seem to get just how important his is going to be in the coming years. With Gavin losing his colors, Kip could very well be next in line to take over that role. One of the tropes I adore in fiction in general is when you have one character underestimating their own worth and the people around them actually being the ones to demonstrate just how important that individual is. Take Kip for example. Gavin takes great lengths to cover up the results of the test that show how many colors Kip can split and work. Gavin understands Kip's implicit worth, and sets Iron Fist, commander of the Blackguard, to watch after him. What Kip sees as his father thinking him unworthy to join him in his pursuits against the color wights is actually Gavin's attempt to protect Kip. Yes, Kip may be a tool in his arsenal, but he's one with an important role to play out ultimately. We see many hints of Kip's strength in the colors, from how he can recognize ultraviolet hues to figuring out how to go Green Golem all on his own. I would love to see a fic where Kip gets shown just how important he really is, or where he does something that really makes everyone pause and realize it too. Maybe there's another instance of him displaying this almost supernatural gift for light splitting that takes everyone aback, maybe he's threatened by an outside force or an enemy of Gavin's and the Prism and/or Ironfist come to rescue him and wreak vengeance upon those who have threatened Kip. I'm pretty open ended on this particular prompt. Really, I am intrigued by the disparity between how Kip often times sees himself as less than worthy, and someone who is holding his father back, and how important he really is going to be in how events play out given his strength with the colors. I would absolutely treasure a fic that explores this theme in any capacity. |

| hollow_echos | Kingkiller Chronicles - Patrick Rothfuss | Kvothe, Bast (Kingkiller Chronicles), Auri (Kingkiller Chronicles), Devi (Kingkiller Chronicles) | This series, again, is just such an exceptional example of storytelling that I couldn't *not* request for more tales in this 'verse for Yuletide. I can never get enough of this series and would love to receive a fic expanding on the canon. There are so many wonderful puzzles that we have just been given the slightest teasers as to what they really are, from the Chandrian and the shroud of mystery that hangs over them to what ultimately happened to Kvothe that changed him from a thick-skulled adventurer to a barkeep in a quiet town focused on minding his own business. Really, I love how Kvothe is so high-spirited. He doesn't let people tell him no. What more, when someone does try to put him or his aspirations down and stop him in his tracks, he not only finds a way around the blockade, but he often manages to outwit and/or humiliate the person who has gone after him. Not to say that this doesn't sometimes end badly, it's a double edged sword. But I would be equally thrilled with a tale of the university era or of his other adventures where he manages to outwit his adversary in a way that you just have to smile and shake your head at the pure hijinks of it all, the ridiculousness of it, and somehow, even while flying by the seam of his pants, Kvothe somehow manages to pull it off. This is a fandom that I requested for a previous Yuletide and was fortunate enough to receive a fic for. That prompt focused on the relationship between Bast and Kvothe (more or less exploring Bast's near pathological devotion to Kvothe). If you are as enamored as I am with their relationship, I would love to see a fic that explored how it was that these two seemingly disparate characters met and became so closely entwined in life. I also am really excited by so many interesting minor characters in the series. Auri is amazing, I'm just going to go write out there and say it. She's not necessarily like the rest of us, but she knows her way around the undertown more than anyone else. I would love a fic that explored her as a character in any capacity. Some characters in the book seem to know Auri, I'd love to see a fic exploring how that came to be. There are also rumblings that she was once a student at the university, how did life bring her to where she is now? As interesting as a character's back story can be, I also love Auri as she appears in the book. Tell me more about her life, what she does in a day, or what living in the city means to her and what she finds so special about the relics of a previous era that live beneath the modern city. In the same vein, Devi is amazing. I'd love to learn more about her history with the school, how she runs her business within the city (perhaps who else in the city she has leverage against?), why she is so desperate to get back into the library at the university, etc. All in all, this canon is filled to the brim with fascinating characters, ideas, and world building and I would be thrilled by a fic that explores their live's stories further. |

| hollow_echos | World War Z (2013) | Gerry Lane, Segen (World War Z) | I've recently been drawn into post-apocalyptic worlds as a theme in literature and cinema. Happy stories are fabulous, but I also love seeing how a world can be twisted into something so radically different than modern society and seeing how normal people fare when they are thrust into that world. I haven't read the World War Z book yet (it's on my reading list!) but I've seen the movie and I fell in love with it. I'm not necessarily attached to any of the main characters in the movie. I know that the producers felt that they needed a main character to tie the story together so they followed him galavanting across the globe trying to find a way to counter the apocalypse. Gerry Lane is fabulous as a character, going to unimaginable lengths to ensure the safety of his family. More than anything else, what I loved in this series was seeing how different parts of the world were dealing with the infection: walling off their entire country, a band of soldiers maintaining their vigil at a remote outpost and just trying to survive. I would love to see either 1) how things progress after the end of the movie (we have a way to combat things, but there is still going to be a long uphill fight), or perhaps tales of other parts of the world, other communities, other peoples, and seeing how they are trying to survive the apocalypse. I would ask that you keep your fic in the spirit of the apocalyptic genre. Happy endings are fine (as are twisted ones if that's what you'd prefer!), but don't make it "poof! And then the world was all fixed.” As we often see with apocalyptic fic or horror fics, there often is some sort of light on the horizon at the end of the fic, but it's a different world with different rules and a great distance to go before there is anything resembling that fairytale ending. I have a thing for stories with darker themes, stories of the apocalypse, or characters twisted into something different than what a person with upstanding morals would possess. I've always been intrigued by the question, "what happens to a character when things don't go according to plan, when they are faced into impossible odds and their morals gradually undergo a shift toward something a lot darker in order to survive?” Show me what everyday people have to become to survive the apocalypse and whatever challenges face them in this new world. I'd love you forever for gifting me with such a wonderful fic! |

| HopefulNebula | Alphas | Gary Bell, Anna Levy | What is Anna's day-to-day life like? How does she work with her local community? How and why did she join Red Flag? How did she get to such a high position in the group? What was her childhood like? How did she create her language, and who was the first person to understand it for what it was? Who does she work with at Red Flag, and what are their interactions like? What have her interactions with Stanton Parrish been like? How did Anna and Gary's relationship go from Gary hanging up on Anna to Gary disobeying orders to try to save her life? What was their correspondence like? What does she think of him? Fic about Gary is also most welcome! Something highlighting his relationships with the rest of the team? Yes, please. Or an episode tag would be awesome too. Or Gary's driving lessons. Or a post-series fic (taking the finale into account or handwaving it, I don't care) would also be amazing. What is he doing five years from now? Ten? (Has he taken over Red Flag and led it in a non-violent direction? Is he making oodles of money as a consultant on the side? Who knows? You do!) The world needs more Gary. (If you only want to write about one character or the other for this prompt, that's cool with me.) |

| HopefulNebula | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman | I'm truly open to anything in this fandom. You can even ignore the existing characters if you want to; I'd love to hear stories, myths, and legends from any of the other worlds we see. If there's a geographic area and/or time period you love, I'd love to see what life is like in that time/place in Lyra's world -- create a character and send hir on an adventure in Lyra's world. Or you know those snippets of documents/other materials in Lyra's Oxford and Once Upon a Time in the North? Excerpts from things like that -- from any world -- would be amazing as well. | letter | |
| HopefulNebula | Ink (2009) | Jacob (Ink) | What makes Jacob different? How does he perceive the worlds, and the differences between them? What does the "beat of the world" feel like to him? What do Pathfinders do when there isn't a little girl to be saved? Do he and Allel stay friends after the events of the film? When Emma shows up in their realm (for real this time, after a long life), does he go find her? Some more general prompts, just for grins: How do people get to be Storytellers? What were their lives like before they died, and how does that (or what they remember of it) inform their identities? What is their world like? What happens after the movie ends? What is it like to become a Storyteller, and how do you go about it? Do these folks interact with the children Liev plays with as well? How so? |
letter |
| HopefulNebula | Sunshine (2007) | Who's your favorite character or characters? Tell me about them. Ensemble fic would also be lovely. What didn't they learn in training that they wish they had? Who won the bet as to when Capa and Mace would finally snap at each other for the first time? How do they pass the time as they get farther from Earth? How did they join the program in the first place? How did they initially react to the loss of Icarus I? What coping mechanisms do they develop, both for dealing with each other and for not having anyone else? ("Anyone" includes Icarus, of course, though these questions probably don't apply to her. I do love me some AIs though.) Anything you can think of, for any character or combination of characters, would be great. | letter | |
| hpstrangelove | The Administration - Manna Francis | Val Toreth, Keir Warrick | I love slash, and since it's part of canon, I can't imagine someone offering to write in this fandom who won't write slash. It certainly doesn't have to be explicit. I also love dark, angsty fics. Favorite kinks: non/dub-con, handcuffs, blindfolds, bondage, hairpulling and just about any of the different 'plays' (breath, knife, blood, etc.). And even though I didn't request any of the other characters, if you'd like to write in Carnac or Girardin, that's fine too. |
letter |
| hpstrangelove | The Rifter - Ginn Hale | John Toffler, Kyle | Kahlil | Most of the action in the Rifter takes place in Basawar. I'd love a story between Kyle and John during their early relationship in/on Earth, or maybe an AU where John remains on Earth and Kyle is sent the message to kill him. What would Kyle end up doing? (And I know I'm just repeating this part — sorry for the redundancy) I love slash, and since it's part of canon, I can't imagine someone offering to write in this fandom who won't write slash. It certainly doesn't have to be explicit. I also love dark, angsty fics. Favorite kinks: non/dub-con, handcuffs, blindfolds, bondage, hairpulling and just about any of the different 'plays' (breath, knife, blood, etc.). |

| hpstrangelove | Shadow of the Templar - M. Chandler | Jeremy Archer, Bran Lindsey | Anything with these two would be great, especially if you've read Cuckoo's Egg (and if not, no worries - do whatever you feel like). It can be from their time living together or during the 'missing' three years after Cuckoo's Egg ends. Slash is fun, and since they're really not related, it couldn't be considered 'incest'. | letter |
| hpstrangelove | Alex Rider - Anthony Horowitz | Yassen Gregorovich, Vladimir Sharkovsky, Ivan Sharkovsky | I hope the new book, Russian Roulette, gave some new breath to the Alex Rider fandom. I've always loved Yassen as a character, and RR only made him more intriguing. I think there's so much to explore in the new canon. Horowitz had to keep it clean for the general public, but there's great potential for some really dark!fic about his time with the Sharkovskys. | letter |
| Hsifeng | R.O.D. the TV | Yomiko Readman | Thanks in advance! :D One of the things I like about R.O.D. is that it's not yet another anime/manga focusing on high schoolers. I like chick lit and lad lit too! So, focusing on Yomiko in her 20s or 30s instead of writing it all flashback or all about her students would be even cooler. ;) |
letter |
| Hsifeng | Y: The Last Man | Thanks in advance! :D First, feel free to use *any* characters, you don't need to include Yorick and Any, um, format (prequel, sequel, interquel filling in a blank between comic issues, alternate ending, alternate middle, alternate beginning, fanfic of the comic-within-a-comic, fanfic of the fan film series Y : The Last Man Rising that begins at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfgzjWuPMBc , speculation about what a chapter of Yorick's 1st novel would be, etc.) would be great. :) |
letter | |
| Hsifeng | Ex Machina | Mitchell Hundred | Thanks in advance! :D I like Ex Machina because of the way it combines the mundanity of city planning, infrastructure, etc. with the insanity of science fiction, alternate universes, etc. - like, cyberpunk meets Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. Any, um, format (prequel, sequel, interquel filling in a blank between comic issues, alternate ending, alternate middle, alternate beginning, etc. would be great. :) Just in case it helps (but these optional details are very optional!), I've had these idle questions while reading: What if Mitchell tried on mirrorshades, and stumbled across implants similar to his own on the black market...? What if Mitchell was mayor of Baghdad (in an alt-hist story arc, a dream sequence, whatever)? What if Pherson and Mitchell ran into each other near a flock of those crows that use traffic lights as nutcrackers (see http://www.pbs.org/lifeofbirds/brain/ )? Or those falcons that doesn't find skyscrapers fatally disorienting (see http://www.terrain.org/articles/6/rowland.htm )? What if Mitchell and Pherson tried to use their powers *on each other* after Mitchell realizes Pherson's body could count as a machine and Pherson realizes Mitchell is a primate...? Why is someone in the German government of all places interested in mitchell's powers? Mitchell seemed to be trying to spell Y.M.C.A. on the cover of #17 and was doing the goddess step (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5313228.stm ) on the cover of #5, so which move would he bust next? I got the impression that Zeller was talking about people from a 3rd timeline migrating to his timeline and warning Mitchell that more such folks would migrate from that 3rd timeline to Ex Machina's setting. So, what might this 3rd timeline be like? |
letter |
| Hsifeng | District 9 (2009) | Thanks in advance! :D I really don't want you to get stressed out over writing for me, and that goes double if this is the one for which you matched me! Personally, I like seeing movies from all over the world and I like seeing big science fiction blockbuster movies. District 9 is *both*. :) Also, the setting and story imply so much *more* than what's shown directly, instead of every detail going up on the silver screen and all the plot threads getting tied up in a pretty bow at the end. The movie really made me *think*. Anyway, I liked some parts of the movie, didn't like some other parts, and see some real potential here. ;) Definitely check out ttp://nnedi.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-response-to-district-419i-mean.html and the test-of-concept "Alive in Joburg" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le3y0QlLjJE Any, um, format (prequel, sequel, interquel filling in a blank between scenes, alternate ending, alternate middle, alternate beginning, fanfic of "Alive in Joburg," fanfic of the fanvid District 11 that's up at http://vimeo.com/19178451 , crossover with The Hunger Games which also has a district 9 and a district 11, etc.) would be great. :) |

| htbthomas | Arrow (TV 2012) | Laurel Lance (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV) | What I want more than anything for this fandom is Felicity and Laurel friendship fic. If the show is leading Felicity toward the path of becoming Oracle, and Laurel toward Black Canary (or at least I hope that's the way things will eventually go), then it will have to happen, right? I'm just impatient. They're two amazing women who could be so amazing together. | letter |
| htbthomas | Bob's Burgers (Cartoon) | Louise Belcher, Tina Belcher | These two make me laugh so much. I love Louise's deceitful nature and glee with the macabre, and Tina's utter sincerity and adolescent awkwardness. It can be such an explosive cocktail. I would be happy will a story with either as the star, or in trouble together, with Gene, Bob and Linda involved or not. | letter |
| htbthomas | The Tomorrow People (2013) | Stephen Jameson (Tomorrow People 2013), TIM the Bio Computer (The Tomorrow People 2013) | As I write this, the show hasn't even premiered, but I got pretty excited about it because of promos and Robbie Amell (who I loved on 1600 Penn). So I know when you get the assignment, there isn't much canon to work with yet. But I love shows with powers and secrets and people trying to do the right thing, despite being in over their heads. You don't need to do both Stephen and TIM - I'd be happy with just Stephen. Give me Stephen trying to figure out this world and just what he can do. Give me misunderstandings with friends and family and maybe reveals of the truth in unlikely circumstances. As far as TIM, one of things that could be really fun is TIM POV. On the the few episodes I've seen of the UK original made me curious about TIM and how he might interact with the Tomorrow People of this version. |

| htbthomas | New Girl | Winston Bishop | Oh, poor neglected Winston. The writers are trying to give him more to do, but it's still not enough. I loved the puzzle plot, Furguson, saving the table all for nothing... I just want to see more. Ship him or don't, just give him love. | letter |
| htbthomas | Breaking Bad | I honestly would read fic about any character, I love the show so much. So give me a post-finale story about what one of the characters is doing after the dust settles, or what they might have done but for their untimely death. | letter | |
| hungrytiger | To Have and Have Not (1944) | Harry Morgan, Eddie (To Have and Have Not), Cricket (To Have and Have Not), Marie Browning | I love the adventure story, and the relationship between Steve and Slim in this. I also love the friendships in the film too, especially Eddie and "Slim" as they start to interact, and between Slim and Cricket. I would love to see further adventures (what are they doing after leaving Martinique? During the War? After?), slice of life fics (I like established relationships), missing or small moments between friends or even any of the gang running into Cricket again. |
letter |
| hungrytiger | Nae Yeojachingu-neun Gumiho | My Girlfriend is a Gumiho | Park Dong Joo, Mi Ho | This is the most adorable series! The series main couple are adorable, but I am super fascinated by: Park Dong Joo's relationship with Mi Ho, these two characters being supernatural (how they react to each other and to humans); and the supernatural world in general. I would love to see a fic of them as a couple (either as an AU, or one of Park's plan succeeded and they are now living elsewhere etc.), as friends, or fics that explore the world building of the supernatural world seen in this. Romance or Gen is fine; other pairings are also fine, if that is the way you see your story going. Basically, anything with this series would tickle me pink. |
letter |
| hungrytiger | The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947) | Lucy Muir | This film transcends so many genres- scary, romantic, dramatic, comedy, almost-spiritual.... and it was all of these with such confidence and ease! I adored that. Also, I love the Captain and Lucy's relationship, their quips, their fights and the occasional mischief. Honestly, I'd love a story about other misadventures Lucy and the Captain had during that year, or- even better- an AU where the Captain doesn't go away. I also love that Lucy is so strong and independent; and that she obviously had a wonderful and strong life, even if she was alone. So if you want a story focused on that; that is also fine. Basically, anything with this film I'd love. |
letter |
| hungrytiger | Remember WENN | Scott Sherwood, Betty Roberts, Mackie Bloom, Cecilia Melon | If you wanted to tackle any one of the cliffhangers the show ended on, I'd love to know what you think! I'd also like to see a missing moment, or something during the war. Romantic elements or pure gen are both great, but I'll admit I root for Scott to get his Betty. If you feel differently and want to write some other outcome to that issue, that's fine! Only, please no Booth/Sherwood. As for other pairings, I'm pretty canon. I'm also equally interested in the not-main players too! If you'd rather write about whatever happened to Celia out in Hollywood or any of that, go for it! |

| hydrangea | Chronicles of the Cheysuli - Jennifer Roberson | Keely of Homana, Sean of Erinn | This prompt is a simple case of Keely being my absolute favorite character in the entire series and possibly one of my favorite female characters anywhere. I want more of her story! Before the books, after the books, extensions of scenes in the books — go wild! I ship her a lot with Sean and would especially love to read more of them falling in love, of them settling into a relationship or maybe of Sean falling in love with her in the first place. For some reason, he reads (to me) as pretty deeply in love with Keely pretty early in the book — I'd love to read how he got to that point! Actually, their romance from his point of view would be pretty awesome over all. ^^ | letter |
| hydrangea | Cygnet Duology - Patricia A. McKillip | Nyx Ro | I discovered the Cygnet books pretty young and the first couple of times reading the books, I didn't really understand all the concepts in there. I did, however, understand that I completely loved Nyx Ro in all her oddness. I loved her individuality, the way she didn't apologize for herself, her strength, her intelligence — everything about her! What I most want in this fandom is probably the continued story of Nyx and Brand — did they find each other again? Otherwise, I'd love to see Nyx ruling, being awesome, having another adventure, becoming more accepted — anything! She rules too much not to have a million more stories. |
letter |
| hydrangea | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, John Marcone | I'm sort of in love with Harry-and-Marcone stories. The two of them as friends, the two of them as lovers, the two of them as reluctant allies — I'll take it all. I especially love plotty stories, but anything that involves them being tangled up too well to ever part and not realizing it is pretty awesome in my opinion. I'm absolutely fine with AUs and what-ifs, so if you want to write girl!Harry or girl!John (girl!John topping the hell out of Harry? Awesome) for example, feel absolutely free! | letter |
| hydrangea | Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey | One of the reasons for my love of the Valdemar Chronicles is the concept of Companions. I love the concept of Choosing, of the reality behind the Companions and the necessity they are for the Kingdom of Valdemar. This is why I decided to request this fandom for Yuletide and why I want to ask for the two basic plot lines below. I love to read stories in which someone gets Chosen. This can be an original character, a canon character, an AU canon character — anything really! If you've signed up for a non-Herald character, I'm also interested in people being chosen by sun cats, bond birds and so on (yes, I'm really fond of the bonded animals trope). It doesn't have to be a fluffy Chosing — I'd love me some angst! — but I would prefer either a HEA or HFN ending. In one of her FAQs, Lackey has this question and answer (edited to make it easier to read): Q: In "Arrows of the Queen” it's mentioned that sometimes the Monarch's Own Companion will Choose someone already Chosen, that is, a Herald or trainee. But what happens to that Herald's Companion? It's supposed to be a lifelong bond! A: The 'original' Companion never actually 'Chose' the Monarch's Own in the first place, though there is no way for that Herald to realize this until after s/he is Chosen by the Monarch's Own Companion. It's like not knowing you were nearsighted until you get glasses. As for the 'original' Companion, s/he either makes a real Choice or retires, depending on how much wear-and-tear has gone on in the interim. This answer has fascinated me for a long time — I can't believe it's that easy. Or maybe it is and I can't wrap my head around? I'd love to see your take on in — whether you choose to tell an occasion where it goes well or an occasion where it goes not-so-well. If you want a prompt, I've always sort of wondered what would happen to the Monarch's Own that was Chosen in the aftermath of a Choosing like this that went wrong — especially if the Companion came out fine but the Herald that was supposed to become Monarch's Own didn't. With the nature of these prompts, I'm of course open to original characters, AUs, what-if stories and all the like. Go wild! Note: I didn't choose any character to request specifically as I wanted to leave that open for a potential writer to choose. I like all the nominated characters just fine and have yet to find a character that I violently hate in canon, so write a character you like or an original character you come up with - choose as you like! |

| hydrangea | What's Up | Ha Do Sung | I watched this drama for Ha Dosung and his secret identity of Hades. I loved his musicality, his troubled past, his shyness, his beautiful voice. Having said this, I'm pretty disappointed in the resolution of his storyline in the drama. He was really underutilized and didn't get a proper ending in my opinion. I really want that proper ending - and a proper telling of that music clash between him and Soobin they kept hinting at! Not only because I ship them as whoa either. ^^ Anyway, anything centered around Dosung will be loved to tiny bits by me, so feel to go wild! A future fic, him writing music, a story about how he became Hades, maybe him getting unmasked — I'll take it all. |

| hydrangea | Belgariad/Malloreon Series - David & Leigh Eddings | Garion (Belgariad/Malloreon) | These two series was some of my very first fantasy books and I love them to pieces for that. I've re-read them at least a dozen times and even though I freely admit that they're not exactly masterpieces, they appeal to me at a level that probably can't be reached by any books I haven't been reading over and over for a dozen years. ^^ Garion is probably my favorite character out of all Eddings characters (followed by Sparhawk) and I want something centered on him. Here comes the twist though: I'd like to read a take on him that makes him different from what he is in canon. Maybe he was born a girl, maybe he was born gay. He might've been born with a physical or mental difference or maybe he was born without Polgara and Belgarath even knowing about it? Maybe he's closer to the Orb than in the books and the skies over the world now says 'Belgarion' in big sparkly letters 'cos he thought too hard about it? I ship Garion mostly with Zakath, but am also quite fine with canon relationships. |

| HYPERFocused | Catfish: The TV Show RPF | Max Joseph, Nev Schulman | I'm open to anything, really. Some Nev/Max. I'd love to see other fandom's characters Catfished. I'm pan-fandom for western stuff, but don't know Anime well at all. I'll have a DYW letter up soon. | letter |
| HYPERFocused | Grimm (TV) | Monroe (Grimm), Nick Burkhardt | I'm a Nick/Monroe girl, but really anything with them hanging out is cool. New myths are always a treat. I'll have more in my letter soon. | letter |
| HYPERFocused | Live Free or Die Hard (2007) | Matt Farrell, Lucy McClane | I ship Matt/John, but of course you don't have to. I'd love to see this vast's interpretations/actions about the Govt shutdown. or other real issue. | letter |
| HYPERFocused | Bloom County | Oliver Wendell Jones, Milo Bloom, Opus (Bloom County), Steve Dallas | What's the old gang up to? Does Binkley work for E!? | letter |
| icepixie | Northern Exposure | Maggie O'Connell, Joel Fleischman | [I received a lovely fic for this request last year, but I will never not want MOAR FIC for this fandom and these characters, so I'm requesting it this year as well.] This is the show of my heart. I love that the writers weren't afraid to tackle complex topics and incorporate philosophy, literature, religion, and other things you don't usually find on network TV. I also love the benign magical realism, and the feeling the show gives me that there's so much wonder out in the world, if we can just open our eyes to it. What I really like about Maggie and Joel is their verbal back and forth. The more banter they get, the happier I am. I definitely ship them (though if you don't, that's cool, as I would love gen where they interact as well!), and I find them fascinating both when they're burning up the screen with UST and after they settle into a relationship later in the series. I've always found it interesting how the universe appears to push them together and indicate to the audience that they're meant to connect, from natural events such as the ice melt in "Spring Break" causing them to make out, to their significant dreams (like the Clue-inspired one in "What I Did for Love"), to their alter egos in "Cicely" and "Zarya" getting together. Some specific prompts if you need them: - What made Joel finally ask Maggie on a date in "Mite Makes Right"? It's always bothered me that there was no defining event that led him to that decision (other than that the episode aired during sweeps month). - "Fish Story" is one of my favorite episodes, so it would be cool to see how they handle another holiday as an interfaith couple. If you're going for gen, something around a holiday and religious differences between them as friends/enemies/whatever you want them to be at this point in time would be lovely. - How does being forced to work together on something, a la the election in "Democracy in America," bring out their differences and/or similarities? I always wanted to see them attempt a home improvement project of some sort together, for example. |

| icepixie | The Cutting Edge (1992) | Kate Moseley, Douglas Dorsey | Banter! Skating! Spandex! Cheesy training montages! Highly opinionated people coming into conflict, yet still working with each other and (of course) falling in love! Who doesn't enjoy a movie like that? One thing I very much like about Kate and Doug is their competitiveness with each other, which eases into a friendly sort of rivalry as they fall in love, but never quite goes away. (I mean, the last two lines of the movie are "Because I love you." / "Just remember who said it first." Just...yeah.) I also enjoy how they kind of push and goad and taunt each other into becoming better people, and how they also over the course of the movie lead each other to enjoy skating qua skating, rather than as a means to fatherly approval, or on rigid hockey-centric terms. What do you think happened after the movie? Did they win the gold medal, or was the Pamchenko Twist declared illegal and points deducted? Did they stay in eligible competition through Lillehammer in '94, or turn pro? Join a tour? Start a business where they teach hockey players how to skate better? (Apparently Barb Underhill actually does this now.) Or, I'd like to see more of their interaction during the timeframe covered by the movie. From the scene where Doug is crowing about how Kate would have to be scraped off the ceiling if he'd gotten her any higher on the throw triple Salchow, it sounds like they went to Sectionals (a regional qualifying competition for Nationals) in '92, so what happened there? What about testing—did Doug have to take all the USFSA moves and freeskate tests to qualify for competing at Nationals, even the easy stuff like crossovers? Did he bitch the whole time, and did Kate mock him? And then perhaps encourage him in a backhanded, stealthy sort of way? (I realize I'm giving some prompts that would require lots of research if you aren't a skater or serious skating fan, so please don't feel beholden to them if that doesn't interest you. I'll love anything that has them interacting!) |

| icepixie | Robson Arms (TV) | Sault Ste. Marie | This show won my heart because it manages to walk the line between wacky/zany/blackly hilarious and oddly affecting, without ever going too far in either direction. I also like the multiplicity of relationships portrayed, from parent/child, to roommate, to friend, to enemy, to etc., and the way that alliances and relationships change over the years. And oh my god, I love Sault. She is such a snarky, insecure, utterly wacky trainwreck. I think the actress once said that Sault voices the things that we'd all like to say at one time or another and bears the consequences of it, and that is so true. She makes me want to laugh, groan, and hug her all at the same time. I would love to see more of her painful adjustment to Vancouver or her awkward attempts to make friends even though she basically hates everyone. Perhaps she can give a party (that turns into a disaster)? Or be shanghaied into babysitting little Robbie Briggs (and it ends disastrously)? Or hey, she could pull a Nancy Drew and investigate why the hell these mysterious Troubadours keep lounging around the apartment complex and singing all the time (and probably it ends disastrously)! As long as the focus remains on Sault, feel free to include whoever else from the cast you want. FWIW, my other favorites are Geoff, Stanley, Toni, Grandma Tan, Nick, and Hal, but I can imagine a great fic being written that features Sault and any other character(s). |
letter |
| icepixie | Corner Gas | Karen Pelly, Davis Quinton | Karen and Davis are such buddies, and it warms the very cockles of my heart when they tease/insult/exasperate one another and yet still stick up for each other when push comes to shove. I always enjoy Karen being uber-serious about random not-serious things and Davis being oblivious and weird in his special Davis way. Also, I ship it. I ship it like FedEx. I will not complain at all if you write something where they're more than just friends, or where they become so. :D I really like the sense of community that comes through on the show, so while Karen and Davis are my favorites, I'm happy to see the other characters wander in and out. Specific prompts are hard, because one of the real strengths of this show was the writers' ability to make a funny story out of any old mundane thing, as well as the way they could inject weirdness into those stories. So I really think you could go anywhere with this request, and I'll adore it. But if you're totally stumped, it would be fun to see the other characters read some innocuous interaction between Karen and Davis as romantic (like the earrings in "Census Sensibility"), and then because K&D don't want the real reason behind whatever they were doing to get out, they have to pretend to be together. Depending on whether you ship them or not, this could lead to actual romance. :) |

| icepixie | Shall We Dance (1937) | Linda Keene, Peter P. Peters | hall We Dance is my favorite of the Astaire/Rogers films. Marriage of convenience is my bulletproof narrative kink, and I just really like these characters as well. Linda is so wonderfully independent, yet she also seems to long for companionship in her rather guarded way. Peter is so adorable when he susses his way past her defenses, and I like how he's definitely cocky, but also has a vulnerability that lies pretty close to the surface. I would love to know what happens after the movie ends. Do Peter and Linda start their own dance company in New York? Go off to Hollywood to star in dance musicals? Go back to Paris to dance there? Something else I haven't even thought of? I'm also keen on missing scenes. Besides dancing on roller skates, what else did they do in the park when they were evading reporters? What happened between the scene where they decided to get married and the scene in the judge's office? Basically, I kind of am the fandom for this movie, and I would love to see more fic for it! |

| icepixie | Figure Skating RPF | Renee Roca, Gorsha Sur | This year, I'm dipping my toe into RPF. And I'm doing it by fixating on the most obscure pairing I can find. *facepalm* I've loved their skating for years, but I recently got the opportunity to read a bunch of old newspaper articles about them, and in doing so, I realized they hit a whole bunch of my buttons: - People from different cultures having to work together; - Two people with excellent work ethics who wind up getting competitive about whose is better (cf. this article, where their coach says, "Renee has finally found her match. She works as hard and is just as opinionated. We've got two strong-willed people, and they both try to outwork each other."); - A shared love of what they do and what they're working toward that overcomes their differences; - Happy-go-lucky guy talking a more straightlaced girl into stuff (like going back to the competitive circuit, or skating together at all!). I'm a huge sucker for the Defrosting Ice Queen trope, as you may have noticed from a couple of my other requests. Plus their story is full of drama: He defects from the Soviet Union and seeks her out because he remembered her from events where they competed against each other (and where he unsuccessfully asked her out, apparently), there's much citizenship drama in re: the Olympics, and their rivals mount a letter-writing campaign to block his accelerated citizenship, then it's moot anyway because she collides with two other skaters at the practice before the Original Dance at Nationals, breaking her wrist. (And still skates the Original Dance two hours later with a fresh cast on her arm, because she's a badass.) Since the fandom for these two doesn't actually exist, I am thrilled if you've made it this far and are considering writing anything with them. Truly. Whatever you can do with them will make my day. Snarky getting-to-know-you fic? Cultural misunderstandings? Tour hijinks? Hurt/comfort after the broken wrist incident? What if he actually succeeded in asking her out in '88? Fic about the mammoth dance test session Gorsha went through because the USFSA wouldn't accept his RSSF tests? It's all good. |

| IDetestTragedy | Ao no Exorcist | Blue Exorcist | Arthur Auguste Angel, Kirigakure Shura | OU or AU. I crave for the crack pairing Arthur Auguste Angel x Kirigakure Shura. Preferably, they can't help falling for each other despite their disagreement in many things. Other than the romance, the story must contain a minimum of one of the following genres: fantasy, horror, humor, action/adventure. | letter |
| IDetestTragedy | Ookiku Furikabutte | Big Windup! | Mihashi Ren, Abe Takaya | OU or AU. Passionate romance plus friendship, please. It's also OK if you'd like to throw in a splash of fantasy/horror/action/adventure/suspense. I don't mind any side pairing, as long as Abe x Mihashi remains the focus of the story. Bonus point if there are depictions of how Mihashi trusts Abe more than his other friends and how Abe can't leave Mihashi alone despite his grumbles about Mihashi's wimpy personality. If you fancy to gender-switch ALL characters, that's also fine. | letter |
| IDetestTragedy | Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi | Onodera Ritsu, Takano Masamune | OU or AU. Passionate romance plus friendship, please. It's also OK if you'd like to throw in a splash of fantasy/horror/action/adventure/suspense. I'm happy to accept any circumstances with maximum exposure to Ritsu's tsundere behaviour against Masamune. | letter |
| IDetestTragedy | Nodame Cantabile | Noda Megumi, Chiaki Shinichi | OU or AU. The story must revolve around Nodame-centric humor. It doesn't matter if romance/fantasy/horror/action/adventure/suspense is added. If you fancy to gender-switch ALL characters, that's also fine. | letter |

| ijemanja | The Cabin in the Woods (2011) | Dana Polk | I would love to see the AU where Dana shoots Marty and saves the world. What was she thinking as she pulled the trigger, and how does she come to terms with making that choice? And what happens to her next? Of course, the Facility isn't just going to let her go now she knows everything. Not to mention there are like a million scary-ass monsters currently running amok. How does she even survive the day, let alone long enough to sign a non-disclosure agreement? If this idea doesn't appeal, I'd enjoy anything focused on Dana set during or after the movie. What-ifs and side-stepping-canon AUs welcome. I'd enjoy seeing more of the Director, too, if you wanted to include her! | letter |
| ijemanja | The Needlers - SNL Sketch | Sally Needler, Dan Needler | I would love to see something that delves a little deeper into how their relationship functions. And WHY it functions, when it clearly shouldn't. Or maybe something about painting the bathroom. Or baby fic. Or their past -- college and why they kept getting back together after breaking up all those times and why Dan proposed. Or scenes from their various wedding anniversaries over the years. Or just something that resembles one of the sketches. Weird as it might sound for this couple, I'd prefer no permanent break-ups, and no super-angsty endings in general. | letter |
| ijemanja | The Craft (1996) | Rochelle Zimmerman, Bonnie Hyper | I'd love to see something about Rochelle and Bonnie set after the movie - perhaps involving rediscovering their powers in some way, together, without the influence of the other two girls. Or the opposite - dealing with going back to being normal after everything that happened. I really loved the small hints of their closeness in canon - just seeing more of that would be great. I do ship it, so femslash would be awesome, but focusing on their friendship is okay, too. Sarah and/or Nancy are also very welcome if you want to write about the four as a coven during the movie, or maybe bring them all back together after the movie somehow - that would also be interesting! | letter |
| ijemanja | Goblin Market - Christina Rossetti | Lizzie (Goblin Market), Laura (Goblin Market) | I would love some kind of genre shift - scifi, dystopia, modern-day urban fantasy, murder mystery (what happened to Jeannie? Plucky girl detectives Lizzie and Laura are on the case!) etc. I would also love a deeper look at the sisters' motivations. Why was Laura more susceptible than Lizzie? Was Lizzie simply immune to such temptation, or was she merely able to overcome it for her sister's sake? Does she regret never tasting the fruit herself? We see Lizzie's triumph over the goblins/temptation from her perspective, but how does Laura view her sister's actions, especially in light of her own? A story set after the poem, with the sisters facing some new supernatural challenge armed with a little more knowledge and experience, would also be great. Femslash or gen is equally welcome. | letter |

| imadra_blue | FRAGILE さよなら月の廃墟 | Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon | Crow (Fragile) | Crow immediately stole my heart and never gave it back. I would really like to see a lot more about Crow and his perspective, his background, his story in general. Gen about Crow on his own or with any character from the game (especially Sai) would be lovely. Slash/yaoi with Seto is equally welcome. AUs where Crow lives or where Seto and Crow meet multiple times are also welcome. Happy or sad, or a little bit of both, sound grand. Further details can be found in my Yuletide Letter, if you want them. | letter |
| imadra_blue | Psycho-Pass | I said any nominated character, and I meant it. Ginoza, Kougami, Shion, and Yayoi are the nominated characters, and I love them all. Whether you want to write me gen about Ginoza, Kougami, Shion, and/or Yayoi, or slash with Kougami/Ginoza, or femslash with Shion/Yayoi, I will be thrilled. Backstory, missing scenes, and post-canon explorations are equally welcome. World-building, through exploring the society, the philosophy, or the psychological dimensions all sound fantastic. Further details can be found in my Yuletide Letter, if you want them. | letter | |
| imadra_blue | Samurai Champloo | Jin (Samurai Champloo) | o, Jin. The mix of cold-blooded killer with soft and squishy awkward boy who wants nothing more than a couple of friends kind of made me fiercely love him. I'd be happy with gen fic exploring Jin's past in the dojo, his potential family, his time with Mugen and Fuu, or his post-canon future. For shipping, I'm really into Mugen/Jin, but I also like Jin/Fuu. Further details can be found in my Yuletide Letter, if you want them. | letter |
| imadra_blue | Noein | Another place where when I say any nominated character, I mean it, as all the characters are so loveable. I do not have any specific requests for many of the characters, but this is not from lack of interest in any of them--it's just that my interests are too varied. I would like to see the world explored more, through the characters and pairings of your choice. Post-canon, in the new world created, or more explorations of La'cryma, are my areas of interest. I am partial to Isami/Yuu or Fukurou/Karasu, but if you're not, don't worry about it. I'd love gen, or any of the canon pairings. Further details can be found in my Yuletide Letter, if you want them. | letter | |
| imadra_blue | Fate/Zero | Irisviel von Einzbern, Saber (Fate/Stay Night) | These two fantastic ladies own me, and I love their contrast. I'd really love more details and explorations of Irisviel's and Saber's relationship, of Iri the lady and Saber the "gentleman." I do ship Saber/Iri, but I'd also be perfectly happy with gen exploring their friendship. I'd like more details about Saber and her past, and about Iri and her family, her past, and her nature. Feel free to use other characters, including Kiritsugu or Maiya or Iri's daughter or anyone you personally feel attached to. I have not seen or played any other of the Fate series, so that's entirely optional. Further details can be found in my Yuletide Letter, if you want them. | letter |
| imadra_blue | Darker Than BLACK | I would be happy with anything about any of the nominated characters. I'd just really like to explore this world of contractors and paranormal phenomena. I do not have any specific requests for many of the characters, but this is not from lack of interest in any of them--it's just that my interests are too varied. Gen or ship fic is fine. Pairings I'm interested in are Hei/Yin, Hei/November 11, Hei/Misaki, Hei/Amber, November 11/April, November 11/Misaki, and pretty much any other combo you'd like. I do not mind if you bring in characters not nominated, especially April, July, or Wei Zhijun, but you certainly don't have to. Tell me about the past, the present, or the future. Give me insight into this world and the relationships formed. I avoided the second season due to spoilers I got that made me sad, so including that canon is optional. Further details can be found in my Yuletide Letter, if you want them. | letter | |
| imaginarycircus | Venetia - Georgette Heyer | Venetia Lanyon, Jasper Damerel | Every time I read the ending of this book I scream. It cuts off (as so many Heyer novels do) right when you most want to know what happened next. But this one pains me the most. I'd love to see anything from Damerel's proposal to them making excellent use of the sturdy dining table. | |
| imaginarycircus | Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle | Vicky Austin, Adam Eddington, Polly O'Keefe | I think this was probably my first OTP. Future fic would be fabulous and delightful. I can imagine so many futures for them. What if Adam attends graduate school at Wicky's undergraduate university? What if they're on opposite coasts? What if Vicky and Polly became friends? I imagine Vicky would be envious of the time Polly spent with Adam even if she knows there is nothing between them. In the books Adam is so restrained with her. So strict about them being solid friends and nothing else because the time is not right. After Kali he's not super trusting about that sort of thing--I gather. There is something sweet and quaint about his attitude (maybe a little outmoded because the books were written 30 + years ago.) I imagine Vicky will chafe under those restrictions as she gets older, but frankly I'd like to see Adam chafe under them. Like what if he does such a good job convincing her they're friends that she drifts from the wish for something more? Hi. I'm having a lot of ideas and it's 2 AM. Am I helping? If not--please write what you fancy. I will be so happy with more story. I'd prefer there not be an angsty love triangle. |
|
| imaginarycircus | Eleanor & Park - Rainbow Rowell | Eleanor Douglas, Park Sheridan | I think the obvious choice is future fic--because what happens? What are the three words? When will they see each other again? Will they have children in Ramones t-shirts? Why can't books I love never end? I'm such a broken record. I WILL BE HAPPY WITH ANYTHING. |
|
| imaginarycircus | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Adora Belle Dearheart, Moist von Lipwig, Havelock Vetinari, Death (Discworld) | Oh, God. I just randomly grabbed four characters. Obviously Adora/Moist would be great and I love them so much. Can you imagine them married and having breakfast? Moist keeps trying to convince her not to smoke at the dining table. I suck at this part because my brain wants to supply you, dear author, with 80 billion ideas and my brain goes in too many directions at once to be coherent. Um... scenes from married life? What's Adora like without her red lipstick and her neat hair? Does she insist on separate rooms? Is it all horribly Victorian? (Wonderfully? IDEK.) I love Death. I love him. You could write me a fic about Death attempting to wear shoes and it not working out for him and I would be thrilled. He could take up a new hobby. Have tea with Mrs. Cake. Attend a party with the other athropomorphic personifications like the Soul Cake Duck. Attend Susan's wedding? Attends Susan's ascent to Queen of Everything? Ventinari. Secrets. He must have a million of them. |

| in48frames | Bomb Girls | Betty McRae, Gladys Witham, Kate Andrews, Vera Burr | I ship Betty/Kate and Betty/Gladys (and Vera/anyone) but I'm also obsessed with the friendships on this show. I love that Vera's role was growing and she was becoming involved in more and more storylines, which meant more and more friendships. I love that Gladys and Carol are still friends, despite everything. Basically anything where the friendships are primary and reflect the show will make me happy. Because of the way the finale ended--please take any out that does not involve Betty in prison. (More in my letter.) | letter |
| in48frames | Republic of Doyle | Des Courtney, Jake Doyle, Leslie Bennett, Rose Miller | You can probably tell from the characters I nominated that I would be happy with ANYTHING for this show. I only want canon ships, please. Jake/Leslie is my OTP to end all OTPs but I don't need fic about them as much now that they're together on screen. Still, I'll love anything shippy! Otherwise, gen adventures in St. John's would be spectacular. Des is hilarious and Rose is brilliant, and feel free to bring in as much of the family as you'd like. | letter |

I'd prefer it to be either a missing scene or after Helena comes back from the dead (not a spoiler, just a hope), so no one is actually dead in the story. While an incestuous/sexual side of Helena's obsession is by all means welcome, I don't believe Helena is capable of consenting to any form of sexual act, so please don't go there. More like Sarah trying to babysit Helena/keep her out of trouble, Helena trying to bond with her sister, etc. | letter |
| in48frames | Haven | Audrey Parker, Jordan McKee | Kate Kelton made a comment about Jordan's interactions with Audrey, and mentioned LGBTQ portrayals in the same sentence. Can we see Audrey and Jordan get it on? Or just argue with serious sexual tension? Or just interact in a way that isn't centred around the men on the show? I'm not sure how the current season is going to go so during season three is just fine. Or if season four takes a turn, so much the better. (In fact, Lexie/Jordan could be interesting!) | letter |
| inabathrobe | Lewis (TV) | James Hathaway, Robert Lewis (Lewis) | I adore case fic. I'd love to see another case that really gets personal, whether it's the mysterious death of someone from one (or both?) of their pasts or a serial killer who targets victims like Hathaway or Lewis. Or, perhaps, a case where detectives or policemen are being targeted? Raise the stakes. | letter |
| inabathrobe | Secret History - Donna Tartt | One thing that Richard lied about or was lied to about (though you don't have to make it explicit). Explore the idea of Richard being an unreliable narrator and what parts of life at Hampden Richard tacitly omitted, especially the ones that are a little too Classical for the reading public. | letter | |
| inabathrobe | Dead Poets Society (1989) | Neil Perry Todd Anderson | Todd, like Orpheus, descends into the Underworld to bargain with Persephone for Neil's soul. (Feel free to give the poor dears a happier ending than Orpheus and Eurydike, though.) | letter |
| inabathrobe | The Charioteer - Mary Renault | Andrew Raynes | An ending for Andrew. What is it like for him to have to keep living with the sort of self-knowledge he has at the end of the novel? | letter |
| inabathrobe | French Revolution RPF | Magical realism starring your favorite French revolutionary. | letter | |
| incandescent (lmeden) | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Richard Mayhew, Marquis de Carabas (Neverwhere), Door (Neverwhere) | I love a focus on Richard Mayhew as he changes under influence from both the people he meets in London Below and the power of the city of London itself. I am obsessed with London. I am okay with Gen, slash, or het, as long at the story has some plot and isn't just about the romance. See my Yuletide letter on my journal for more details. | letter |
| incandescent (lmeden) | American Gods - Neil Gaiman | Mr. Wednesday, Low-Key Lyesmith, Shadow (American Gods) | I love this book and the rich mythology in it, but wasn't fond of the ending. I would like more with Loki, Odin, Shadow, and everyone. Exploring different facets of their characters would be great. I love multiple storylines and plot, and would prefer not to have any romance in this. More details in my Yuletide letter. | letter |
| incandescent (lmeden) | Solar System (Anthropomorfic) | Pluto (Astronomy), Uranus (Astronomy), Neptune (Astronomy), Jupiter (Astronomy) | ly anthropomorfic is amazing. I don't just want this to be about a romance between the planets. I would love a complete transformation of planets into real human characters, with symbols and references to the idea of them as planets incorporated in. I would prefer Gen with plot. More details in my Yuletide letter. | letter |
| incandescent (lmeden) | Norse Religion & Lore | Óðinn | Odin (Norse), Sigyn (Norse) | My focus in this would be Odin. I find him to be a fascinating character. I love the hypocrisy within his different incarnations and the way that he shifts from statesman to madman and back. An exploration of this would be amazing. I would like Gen with plot, if possible. More details in my Yuletide letter. | letter |
| incandescent (lmeden) | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke | I want more. With footnotes, particularly. I love obscure, tiny details and little stories that become big stories. I adore attention lavished on minutiae, rich descriptions and worldbuilding, and the historical/satirical style of the novel. I would prefer Gen. See my Yuletide letter for more. | letter | |
| Ineffabilitea | Storage Wars Texas | Mary Padian, Jenny Grumbles, Clinton "Bubba" Smith | I just love the interactions between these three on the show and what we've seen of Mary and Jenny on their own talking about Bubba. Mary says Bubba's like her brother so she's not attracted to him any more! :D I enjoy that they seem to have pretty realistic, awkward interaction for people who are stuck together as co-workers on a storage auction-based reality show. I'd love a threesome of some sort (doesn't need to be explicit) with the girls bossing Bubba around, or any kind of gen adventures for the three of them you can imagine! I'm not wedded to the canon setting/scenario here (though I do enjoy it), so this is a great fandom for an AU of any sort. | letter |
| Ineffabilitea | Le Serment des Horaces | Oath of the Horatii- Jacques-Louis David | Tell me more about this awesome painting! I didn't nominate any particular characters because of all the various figures in the painting, none interest me more than others. I just dig ancient, at-least-half-mythical Roman history, and the scene of this painting isn't taken from any particular ancient source, and I really like that idea, of a more modern "invention" of Roman historical anecdotes/exempla virtutis. If you wanted to give me some faux Livy or Dionysius of Helicarnassus as an invented source, that would be neat. (Dream scenario: in Latin, though I totally understand that would be asking for a lot! Just, you know, in the Yuletide of my dreams.) | letter | |
| Ineffabilitea | Roman Mythology - Fandom | Gaius Mucius Scaevola | Goddamn do I love Mucius Scaevola, stone-cold badass. Giving dramatic speeches while his hand burns right off! I'm reasonably sure Scaevola is the ur-source of all my love for people stoically enduring pain and suffering. I'd love a story where Scaevola embodies the essence of "Iron Woobie" or whatever it is the kids are calling it these days, without much emphasis on the "woobie". Some post-incident hurt/comfort or his (modest) reaction to later praise would be cool. Or, be wacky and write me a story where he's the Roman Chuck Norris. Mucius Scaevola facts! Just emphasize the stoical aspect of whatever and I'll be there. | letter |
| Ineffabilitea | Midsomer Murders | Tallis Filby, Freddy Chettham | I was really intrigued by these two characters from the series 12 episode "The Creeper". They have a pseudo-incestuous vibe going on AND they go on to have cat-burgling adventures in Scotland, apparently. I would love anything exploring their "I was attracted to you even when I thought we were secret half-siblings" dynamic. Some thoughts off the top of my head: maybe they discover they really enjoy incest roleplay in bed? Or similarly, anything where they realize the (perceived) incest was part of their attraction to each other, such as guilty (pre-reveal) wanking while thinking of each other. I'd also be happy with their further adventures (Tallis showing Freddy the cat-burgling ropes!) or pretty much any interaction between these two, including shippy stuff that downplays the incestuous vibe. | letter |
| inevitablewebreathe | K (Anime) | Eric Surt, Fujishima Kousuke | Fujishima and Eric's story appears to have been written to hit every H/C button known to fandom, and I can't get enough of it. Out of all the manga stories their chapters were what drew me in the most. Fujishima is such a sweetheart and so respectful of boundaries without being a pushover, while Eric's defiant attitude in spite of his low self-worth makes him my favourite kind of woobie. I love the moment at the end when they both try to take responsibility for Eric's actions, Fujishima because of his dutiful nature, and Eric because of his pride and both for their concern for the other. I would happily devour getting together fic where Eric slowly learns to trust again and get over all the abuse, or curtain fic about daily life in the Red Clan (ensemble fic with the other characters is quite welcome). I'd also be interested in backstory fic about Eric's time in Hikawa or about Fujishima's ongoing mission to rescue everything he sees--you could honestly write a fic about nothing other than Fujishima nursing fluffy kittens back to health and I would devour it. Frankly, I would be happy with just about anything involving these two (they need more love <3). However, if this all leaves you cold, I am also the biggest Mikoto/Munakata shipper and would read anything at all about them if you can't get a feel for either of these characters. | letter |
| inevitablewebreathe | Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru | Kureha Fuyutoki, Giou Takashiro | Given that this series mainly consists of people talking vaguely around their feelings, I've pretty much adored Fuyutoki from the moment he outright said that he loves his master and is happy just to watch over him, even if it's painful. For me it's a perfect mixture of strength, sincerity and longing. His frankness is pretty refreshing for the general tone of the series. Takashiro is also a really fascinating character, being very manipulative but clearly not souless and the fact that immortality is a torment to him that he endures in order to achieve his goal lends (well, angst, obviously, but also) some real complexity to his story. And because I've always liked butler/master ships in general, Fuyutoki/Takashiro is predictably my major Uraboku OTP, but I find it gets little focus in fandom. So I'd be interested in any kind of getting together or general shippy fic involving these two, but if you're not feeling it or can't make it happen, them just being a kickass platonic butler/necromancer team and doing cool things or and coming up with grand schemes would be great. Dealing with Duras, manipulating things so that Yuki doesn't come in contact with the larger Giou family, anything to do with the oracles, or even Fuyutoki just buttle-ing in a way that would do Sebastian proud. Stoic pining on Fuyutoki's part is completely okay. Again, if you need an out, Hotsuma/Shuusei angst never fails. Never. | letter |
| inevitablewebreathe | 天気予報ノ恋人 | The Weatherman is My Lover | I love this story for being light-hearted and funny (the manzai elements in volume one especially makes me laugh), but for also sweetly bringing together two characters who aren't as different as they first seem. I like the subtle isolation they experience, and how the story takes a whole-heartedly positive attitude towards change. The antics of the ADs and crew members are wonderfully silly. Fic that's in this sort of spirit would be lovely, but if you want to try and take a more serious tack, I'd also be interested in that too. Perhaps Koganei confronting his mother or even former stepfather about his relationship with Amasawa, or dealing with pressure to marry and settle down, Amasawa visiting his parents' graves/childhood home, the pair sitting on the balcony during a heavy storm, anything like that could be really well done. On the light-hearted side, perhaps a story about them finally taking a vacation without the rest of the crew, about increasingly silly shenanigans happening either behind the scenes or on screen, about Amasawa making his elaborate cosplay (that could also be a good kinky fic) or even him trying to make matching costumes would all be potential places to go. If you have an original idea though, go for it! | letter | |
| inevitablewebreathe | Sakende Yaruze! | Shout out Loud! | This is another one of those stories that just makes me laugh, not so much out of humour but joy. It has some issues, true, but on the whole the interactions of all the characters form a wonderful slice-of-life story that keeps a grin glued to my face everytime I reach the end of it. Something I really like about Shino and Tenryuu's relationship is that they are older. They're more bitter, more certain of what they want and much less certain they should have it, but still as much fools of passion as anyone half their age (see Nakaya). Mizusawa is a hilarious and fascinating character, flashy and go-getting, and who throws his stake in a love triangle he knows he's already lost and even ends up defending his rival out of a sense of fairness. There's also his marriage by the end of the story and his interactions with Kousuke that really develop him in a neat way. Shino and Nakaya's relationship is one that is alternately heartwarming and heartbreaking and I love the bittersweetness of it. The push and pull of "you are my father/son" and "you aren't a father/son to me" is so realistic and creates a lot of emotional tension that is lovely and moving. They are so often at crosspurposes. I'd love fic about any of these characters in any combination (and I am of the opinion they work best all together) so I'll throw out a few ideas but hopefully they'll be adaptable to whatever you offered. I'd most like to see future fic, maybe where the voice acting trio are still at it (although maybe things about their jobs have changed) and Nakaya still comes to visit and they talk about all the things he's doing and reflect on the changes since the time he first met his dad. Or maybe fic where Mizusawa has stopped voice acting to focus more on his music and he later reunites with either Tenryuu or Shino and they catch up/have nostalgia-filled moments. Shino reflecting silently on his choice to prioritize his lover above his son would be interesting, especially if it involves thinking about Nakaya's mother and apologizing or trying to justify it to her (not in a harsh way, but having feelings of vague guilt or just uncertainty as in the manga). Alternately Tenryuu's reflection on his relationship with Shino and his failed relationship with his ex and lost connection to his daughter would be fascinating. There's room for both maturity and humour in this series and I'd love to read further into that future. | letter | |
| inevitablewebreathe | Hyakujitsu no Bara | Maiden Rose | Yes, you can write fic about any and every character in this story and I will be happy with it. I love this world. The adventure, the action, the spy plots, the epic romance, the supernatural elements, the importance of purity, the knightly code, the tanks, the planes, the roses, and the moths. Filling out the backstory of Katsuragi and Ashley, examining the training days of the Murakumo trio, tracing the ties of the Wolfstadt family with the Eastern country, exploring Taki's youth and his decision to learn military tactics abroad, clashes or interactions between the Eight Branch Families, conflict between old and new orders--any of these things would be great to see, and if you disagree, go ahead and show me something better. I look forward to it. :D | letter | |
| infinimato | Mission: Impossible (TV 1988) | Ideas include a threesome/moresome of Shannon and some mix of Grant, Max, and/or Nicholas. Or a gen casefic with all the characters. See letter for more details. | letter | |
| infinimato | The Venture Bros | Dr Girlfriend, Henchman 21 | These are my two favorite characters and I long for something that includes them both. And others! Please see my letter for more details. | letter |

| infinimato | Space: 1999 | Alan Carter, Sandra Benes, Tony Verdeschi, Paul Morrow | Ideas: I'd love to see where Paul does not die and he and Tony are vying for being Alan's best friend. Or, I'd like to see Sandra kicking butt, maybe while bonding with Maya. See my letter for more details. | letter |

I'm pretty sure I'd love anything though. I'd love to see something set immediately after the end of Chambers vs Malone or the morning after in Power Play...but its up to you! | letter |

| inlovewithnight | Property Brothers RPF | Jonathan Scott (Property Brothers RPF), Drew Scott (Property Brothers RPF) | I really want Property Brothers incest fic, maybe with some kink. I am that person. However, if that is not your thing, that is okay! I would also love gen that plays with their ridiculous goofy dynamic. Feel free to bring in stuff from Brother vs. Brother if you'd like. Or if AUs are your style, I would read about them in space, 100%. | letter |
| inlovewithnight | Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls - Anton DiSclafani | Leona (Yonahlossee), Theodora Atwell | Femslash, ideally! Either futurefic or at the camp. Gen would also be fine, ideally futurefic for that; where do they both end up? How does Leona handle the loss of her family's fortune, and her horse? | letter |
| inlovewithnight | The Thick of It (TV) | Helen Hatley, Malcolm Tucker | Gen or pairing, within the show's timeline (maybe in the gap before Series 4?) or futurefic. Tension and snarling and circling each other and maybe her actually getting a few jabs in. And hot sex if you're so inclined. | letter |
| inlovewithnight | Exiles - Melanie Rawn | Gorynel Desse, Cailet Ambrai | I am an overly intense Gorsha apologist. :( I think he was right and Cailet's anger with him never sat quite right with me. I would love if you can either show a moment of reconciliation between them, or make me see things from Cailet's point of view more clearly. If you'd rather not do any of those, a quiet moment of teaching would also be wonderful. ::pours one out for The Captal's Tower:: |

| inmyriadbits | In Treatment | Sophie (In Treatment) | I've always loved Sophie, and I would love to know about what happened to her after S1. Set it at the Olympics, set it two decades later when she's moved on to coaching or something else entirely, set it whenever you like, but just give me something about her future. I'm dying of curiosity. | letter |
| inmyriadbits | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | Ista dy Chalion, Iselle dy Chalion | Ista and Iselle are both such strong, wonderful characters, and it's always made me sad that we didn't get to see them reconnect after the curse was broken and Ista recovered from her magically-induced mental illness (for lack of a better term). Being as awesome as they both are, I would love to see this happen in the context of the two of them facing some threat or challenge to the kingdom together. Mother-daughter bonding and competence all the way! :) | letter |
| inmyriadbits | Millennium Trilogy - Stieg Larsson | Lisbeth Salander, Mikael Blomkvist | I would love post-series fic exploring Lisbeth and Mikael's unconventional friendship/relationship/partnership. | letter |
| inmyriadbits | Fast and the Furious Series | Gisele Harabo, Han Lue | OMG FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT. Uh...sorry. But really, I do want fix-it fic for Fast & Furious 6. If they can pull off total retrograde amnesia, surely Gisele and Han can both survive and reunite and it can all not be horribly tragic. |

| innerbrat | Ame-Comi Girls | Jade Yifei (Ame-Comi Girls) | 1. BACKSTORY. Something set pre-canon when she's growing up with her family. There's a strong family bond there and I want to know about it! 2. ADVENTURES IN SPACE. Something Green-Lanterny out in space with as much worldbuilding of the Ame-Comi Girls universe as you like. It could even be after the universe reset so it doesn't even need to be very canon-complient. I am a big DC fan, but my GL knowledge is limited to GL:TAS, so only if you want to should you refer back to the main continuity. Having said that, I just realised how I typed this how much I would like to see a female Blue Lantern. 3. INTERACTION WITH OTHER CHARACTERS. I pretty much love all the girls. White Canary is a favourite of mine but Power Girl, Batgirl, Jesse Quick - any of those would be great. Femmeslash is awesome and optional. |
letter |
| innerbrat | Birds of Prey (Comic) | Evelyn Crawford (Birds of Prey), Dinah Laurel Lance (Birds of Prey) | I would love fic set in the preboot DCU that somehow incorporates Ev into the continuity. Maybe she was an old friend of Dinah Laurel's, maybe her mother knew Dinah Drake. Maybe she's just older than the other women and was actually a friend of Dinah Drake's herself. Maybe there are time travel shenanigans (there do not have to be). Basically, I love Ev, and I think she is a great character, but preboot Birds of Prey is the Birds of Prey of my heart and I would like to see her with those girls. | letter |
| innerbrat | Claymore | Miria (Claymore) | 1. ACADEMY BACKSTORY What was training like for Miria? 2. HILDA FRIENDSHIP SHENANIGANS. I really really really like female friendships. Is that obvious from this letter? 3. THE SEVEN YEARS MISSING What did the warriors get up to after the Battle in the North? 4. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY POST-CANON UTOPIA. Is that even possible? What actually happens after the Organization has been brought down? |
letter |
| innerbrat | Leonardo (TV) | VAGUE PROMPT ONE: The in-universe option! I'd love anything with this crazy kids. Lisa and her painting; Leo and his love of nature and beauty — oh, and his complex relationship with his father and with Verocchio; Mac and his gang of ragged street urchins. Lorenzo and his careful balancing of family and friend loyalties. If you want to write Angelica, I wouldn't mind seeing Lisa and her talk about arranged marriages and gender roles. Or maybe they could talk about Mac and how he's a great catch really. VAGUE PROMPT TWO: MODERN AU OR CROSSOVER SHENANIGANS. Superheroes? High School? Space pirates? Some AU where there are giant monsters that come out of the ocean and Lorenzo and his father has to fight them in a giant robot suit? Pick a situation and go nuts. It can't be any crackier than the original source material but you are welcome to try! (Incidentally, in a modern setting I like Lisa as a trans girl, because I think this comes closest to fitting her 'definitely a girl but has to live as a boy' situation, but that is your choice.) |
letter | |
| innerbrat | Princeless | 1. Adrienne and Bedelia (and Sparky) are distracted on their way to rescue a sister by an ADVENTURE that involves finding out more of the world they inhabit. Maybe they meet the Black Knight! This would make me extra happy. 2. Queen Ashe backstory! I'm sure it'll be jossed as soon as volume 3 comes out, but what we see of her in volume 2 was amazing and left me basically making huge grabby hands towards her character. What does she think of her husband? How was she as a mother of eight children? What does she really think of the whole tower thing? 3. Bedelia backstory. Something set in her childhood, before or after her mother leaves. How does she get along with her father. The story we got was rather angsty, and you can go with that, but some happy Smith family fic would be nice. Not everything was easy in that family, but what was a good day like? 4. Family Ashe kidfic! Give me Adrienne and Devin and Apple (and Angelica and Angoisse and the other twins and...) something set before they were towered, all interacting together. How does Devin get along with his sisters? Who (other than Devin) was Adrienne closest with? How did Apple feel as each of her sisters was shipped off to their tower? |
letter | |
| innerbrat | Queen & Country | 1. SPY ADVENTURE PROMPT. Tara is on a mission, an Operation not featured in canon. She has to be competent to survive! She is, predictably awesome. The end. I just love seeing Tara be competent. 2. FAMILY PROMPT. Valerie and Tamsin at home while Tara is on a mission. What's that like, knowing the mother of your grandchild might not come home, the way your son didn't come home that time? 3. WACKY CROSSOVER HIJINKS PROMPT. Why not have a crossover with another fandom? Fandoms I like that might be suitable; Avengers (616 or MCU); DC Comics (Checkmate?);RED (Movie or comic, if you can make the comic work); Losers (Movie or comic: again, if you can make it work); Capital Scandal; um, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? |

| innie | Cold Comfort Farm (1995) | Seth Starkadder (Cold Comfort Farm (1995)), Flora Poste (Cold Comfort Farm (1995)) | I've long held up this movie as one of the only films that I find as satisfying as the book. In fact, the only issue I really have with the movie is that Flora didn't exactly solve a problem for Seth the way she did for everyone else. She made sure he was lit just right when Mr. Neck showed up, but that was really it. So I'd love to see her, post-film, when she's married to Charles and he's taking Hollywood by storm, solve a problem for him. It could be that he was hired to be sneery beefcake but suddenly the audience's tastes changed and he was thrown into highbrow, genderbending stuff. Or it could be some other problem of your own choosing. I just want to see him reaching out to her and her thinking an issue through and coming up with something that makes him happy. My request hinges on Seth and Flora, but I'd love to see some of the other characters as well, if you're up for it: Charles, Mrs. Beetle (maybe Flora's child-minder?), Amos (Seth is in America - who's to say Amos isn't protesting Hollywood and preaching from his Ford van?). Just go crazy with it! | letter |
| innie | Eight Cousins series - Louisa May Alcott | Phebe Moore, Archie Campbell | I don't know why it took me so long to realize that I could request fic to make my love for this little two-book series (available on Project Gutenberg) complete. I adore these two books and the handling of Charlie (when I first read Rose in Bloom as a child I was delightfully surprised that Rose said no) and that Rose found Mac. But I always wanted more Phebe, that bright and lovely girl. Her romance with Archie is the best part of the book for me, though it's just sketched rather than fully drawn. We see Archie falling in love with her and her reactions to his feelings, but we don't get to see her falling in love with him on her own - and that's what I'd love to see in your fic. What makes her look at Archie, or think of romance at all when she's got a career upon which to embark? What does she think about her past (especially as contrasted with Dulce's jailbird father) and what it would mean to have children? What will marrying into the clan do to her friendship with Rose? How does her closeness with Mac (the other "great one" and the other one who helped her save Dr. Alec's life) affect her? What has she seen in Europe that she brings back home with her? I just want more Phebe, and would love to see her take center stage. | letter |
| innie | The Voorman Problem (2011) | Dr. Williams (The Voorman Problem), Voorman (The Voorman Problem) | This little (12:29) movie was such a headtrip. I'd expected to love it, because Martin Freeman was in it, and I did. If you didn't see the film (which I haven't been able to find online, more's the pity, though I'll of course update my letter if I do), this request will make no sense to you. If you did, here's what I'm asking for: fic that explains how Voorman did it, if such an exchange is necessary for an escape, if that can even be properly termed an escape, if the wartime jail is a necessary setting, where both characters go from this point, what the name Voorman signifies, and what it all means for Belgium. (Links in the letter to a four-page pdf that offers synopses and stills and character descriptions and the official trailer.) | letter |
| innie | The World's End (2013) | Oliver Chamberlain, Peter Page, Andrew Knightley | o I'd been expecting to love this movie because it was part of the Cornetto Trilogy, and I did, but I hadn't expected it to be so elegiac even in the midst of being very funny. What I'd like is more backstory for this group of friends - particularly Oliver and Peter, from their perspectives. What did they get out of their friendship with each other and with the other boys: Andrew, Steven, and Gary? Did Peter feel that he was used for his wealth? Did Oliver feel that he was used as a gateway to his sister? What it did mean for them to find each other, to be part of Gary's crew? Or did they think of it as Andy's gang, as he was the big athlete? Or were they happy to be themselves? How did all of that lead up to their endings as shown in the film? | letter |

| Interrobam | The Neighbors (TV 2012) | Jackie Joyner-Kersee (The Neighbors), Larry Bird (The Neighbors) | Jackie/Larry: This couple happens to hit so many of my kinks it's embarrassing, so if you're okay with a little D/s I would love to read a story exploring what little of their pre-earth relationship we know from the series. What is it like for a freedom fighter to realize she is the soulmate of one of the dictators she is trying to destroy? Did she try to deny it or immediately switch sides? How did Jackie go from a rebel to a 50s-ish housewife (I'd rather it be happily than unhappily)? If you aren't comfy with that I'd love to see more tame Jackie/Larry, like their early days of settling into earth, weird alien courtship, etc. See letter for more info. | letter |
| Interrobam | Lilo & Stitch (2002) | Lilo Pelekai, Stitch (Experiment 626) | I'd love a dark space-western!AU of this series, where Stitch is a dangerous fugitive and Lilo is a jaded underage sex worker at a space port. Maybe they meet up several times while Stitch is on the run and forge an unlikely friendship? Maybe they only meet once when Lilo is young and then she grows up to be a space pirate and searches for Stitch? Something dark and atmospheric and cynical would rock. I realize that won't be everyone's cup of tea, of course, so happy fic set in the future would still be great! I'd like to see Lilo taking Stitch with her to college, finding a career, etc. Bonus points for Lilo/Myrtle. See letter for more info. | letter |

I'd love to read a light, slice-of-life depiction of their relationship. Where does a PI and a Femme-Fatale go on their first date? I loved the morbid-whimsical tone of the show, so a story that could capture that would be great, for example if you applied a domestic tone when they are doing rather un-domestic things (picking out guns for example). See letter for more info. | letter |
| Interrobam | Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede | Morwen (Enchanted Forest), Telemain (Enchanted Forest) | Morwen/Telemain: My first OTP! I love their chemistry: she the logical and practical witch and he the frivolous and theoretical magician. I'd like to see "cozy" fic of them, hanging out at Morwen's house, gardening, exploring the forest together. Old-married-couple style bickering is a favorite trope of mine, so I'd love to hear some of that from them. Mentions of Cimorene and Kazul are a bonus! See letter for more info. | letter |
| intrikate88 | The Americans (TV 2013) | Elizabeth Jennings, Philip Jennings, Paige Jennings, Henry Jennings | ee my letter for more details, but basically: I love this show, I love this family, I love the particular time period in which it is set. Philip's comment to Elizabeth about turning the kids into little socialists really intrigued me- how do their ideologies and goals play out in family life? How do they respond when the kids really want to talk about the world around them? Is there a way that they can frame their worldview for their very American, capitalist kids? | letter |
| intrikate88 | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | Sarah Connor (Sarah Connor Chronicles), Cameron Phillips, John Connor (Sarah Connor Chronicles) | ee letter for more details, but: Sarah Connor is awesome and I love the complicated way she relates to robots, given that they are doom incarnate but also, frequently, her son's protection when she is not enough. | letter |
| intrikate88 | The Brothers Bloom (2008) | I love these characters! I would love to see more brotherly shenanigans, more of Bang Bang, maybe a 5+1 of times they didn't meet Penelope but could have, and once they did, just... the whole con artists and magical realism and the weird little family they have, all put together- put it in a blender and make whatever kind of smoothie you like. :) | letter | |
| intrikate88 | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | Gimme some Joan/Moriarty action. Just interaction and their views of each other, or total femslash. I want the focus on them, but I'm sure Sherls will pop up to offer his opinion on anything and everything. Maybe Joan goes to visit Moriarty in prison? Maybe Moriarty is sending letters to Joan too? I just want more of these fabulous ladies. | letter |
| InvertedTurtle | Le Fantôme de l'Opéra | Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux | Raoul de Chagny, Comte Philippe de Chagny | Just let Philippe live, for a while at least. Interactions between him and his brother - raising Raoul, watching Raoul go slightly crazy during the Phantom phase, being ticked off with Christine when it looked like she was leading his baby brother on. Actually, baby Raoul could be fun. Or fix-it for Philippe. | letter |
| InvertedTurtle | Forgotten Realms Novels - R. A. Salvatore | Drizzt Do'Urden, Artemis Entreri, Jarlaxle Baenre | Things have spiraled rapidly into the crap heap for these guys, so something from the good old days would make me happy. Say, pre-Promise of the Witch King for Entreri and Jarlaxle, and pre-all-his-friends-expiring for Drizzt. There'll be fandom rambling in my DYW letter, if you want specifics. | letter |
| InvertedTurtle | 3:10 to Yuma (2007) | Ben Wade, Charlie Prince | First meetings, before or after Ben had an actual gang? How in hell did Charlie get so attached, when he's obviously more likely to shoot new acquaintances first and try getting to know them better later? The Civil War. Ben's previous experiences with Yuma prison, the captures, prison sentences, and/or escapes. | letter |
| InvertedTurtle | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | John Granby, Iskierka (Temeraire), Volatilus (Temeraire), Langford James | I dunno. A-boy-and-his-dragon adventures? Volatilus and James doing their endless courier runs, or maybe some actual downtime for them. Or Volly's hatching from an egg and meeting James! Iskierka and her bad attitude doing whatever they please. Maybe she and Granby get separated, either as a result of battle or due to said attitude. Or both. | letter |
| InvertedTurtle | Brave (2012) | Elinor (Brave), Fergus (Brave) | I'd really like to see something pre-movie. Maybe even before the triplets or Merida were born. The beginning of the arranged marriage (how smooth did it actually go, for both bride and groom?), or early Elinor learning to be a 'proper' lady in tough situations or just overall being awesome and helping Fergus hold the alliance together. Fergus and his thoughts on his teensy, scary competent wife | letter |
| invisible_cities | Mushishi | Adashino (Mushishi), Ginko (Mushishi) | ||
| invisible_cities | Catch-22 - Joseph Heller | Milo Minderbinder | All the dubious business transactions, please. ALL of them. Heck, even one would be enough. |
|
| invisible_cities | Coldfire Trilogy - C. S. Friedman | Damien Vryce, Hesseth sa-Restrath | Damien's relatioship with his faith, his Church, and his Prophet. Any- and everything about how Hesseth (and the rest of the rakh) see fae. |
|
| invisible_cities | Seirei no Moribito | Guardian of the Sacred Spirit | Balsa Yonsa | ||
| invisible_cities | Doom (2005) | Gen, please, world-building of the purest sort. I want to see the genesis of the Olduvai labs on Mars, and I would like to see corporate politics in play. | ||
| Ione | Burn Notice | Michael Westen, Sam Axe, Fiona Glenanne, Madeline Westen | Fix-up ending, please. I am pretending that last few eps never happened. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, Michael's brother can still be alive. This group was tight as well as badass, they cared for one another, and Michael never would have turned on them so stupidly. So give me a last hangup mission (taking down James is fine, or a more interesting villain) and leave them as a team! Humor an added bonus, and also Jesse, as the character request limited me to four. And I would be completely happy if Sam Axe gets to be Charles Finlay for at least one bit of the caper. | letter |
| Ione | Stalky and Co - Rudyard Kipling | M'Turk (Stalky), Beetle, Stalky Corkran, King (Stalky) | I want a caper as funny and as fun as the time when Rabbits' Eggs rocked King. Bonus for letting M'Turk shine, as he tends to disappear behind Beetle and Stalky, but let them all shine, and if King delivers his usual airy persiflage and then gets what he deserves, I would be happy. | letter |
| Ione | The Sherwood Ring - Elizabeth Marie Pope | Richard Grahame, Barbara Grahame | I had so much fun writing this fandom last year that I'd love more fic based on this novel. How about something about how Peaceable set up his gang of marauders and got started as the daring outlaw? Or maybe when he gets back to England, is he sent against Napoleon in some way? If you can figure out how to get Barbara involved, I would love you forever--after all, they married while Napoleon was still rampaging all over Europe. | letter |
| Ione | Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse | Rupert Psmith, Mike Jackson | I want Psmith and Mike being themselves, perhaps involved in some caper at school, if you can do school stories. I have a real weakness for Wodehouse's school stories, and by the time he brought Psmith and Mike in, he had hit his genius. If you have a crossover with Peter Wimsey or any other school story figures of the time, that would be great! Or if you're not into the school story scene, Psmith and Mike in New York, or put them in some wild locale circa 1900! AU is fine, I just want them together, and Psmith being witty and Mike straightforward and vigorous, because we know he loved a scrap as much as he loved ragging. | letter |
| ionthesparrow | Catch-22 - Joseph Heller | John Yossarian, Milo Minderbinder | Milo Minderbinder and Yossarian are two of my favorite characters in fiction. Literally anything about them would be awesome. | letter |
| ionthesparrow | Darkover series - Marion Zimmer Bradley | Danilo Syrtis, Regis Hastur | Their boyhood friendship. growing up. swearing loyalty. oh god, it kills me. | letter |
| ionthesparrow | A Separate Peace - John Knowles | Gene Forrester, Phineas "Finny" (A Separate Peace) | I fucking love this book. Growing up. Loss of innocence. Intense friendship. Jealousy. Betrayal. Fear of the unknown. What's not to love? | letter |
| ionthesparrow | National Football League RPF | Colin Kaepernick (NFL) | There should be more stories about football in general. Day in the life, whatever. Also, Kaepernick is very attractive with his clothes off | letter |
| ionthesparrow | This Is the End (2013) | Jay Baruchel (This Is the End) | Baruchel is hilarious in this. Jay Baruschel fucking anybody. Jay Baruschel trying not to get fucked by anybody. Jay Baruschel killing demons. Anything. | letter |
| ionthesparrow | Dark Tower - Stephen King | Roland Deschain, Cuthbert Allgood, Alain Johns | Their boyhood friendship! Their loyalty! Any sort of flashbacks/background at all! Any of it! | letter |
| iphianassa | She Wants Revenge - She Wants Revenge (album) | Tear You Apart (song) | I love how every song tells a story. I especially love 'Tear You Apart' as it seems to enter right at the end of a great love story. (I also like to see 'She Will Always Be a Broken Girl' as the prequel, where the girl enters the party, and 'Tear You Apart' is where everything goes down. Unfortunately, it is on the 2nd album). |
letter |
| iphianassa | The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons | Anything from the 1st or 2nd book - maybe something in between. A side story, either between them or one thinking of the other... anything. | letter | |
| iphianassa | Other Boleyn Girl - Philippa Gregory | George Boleyn (The Other Boleyn Girl), Anne Boleyn (The Other Boleyn Girl) | Not a fan of George/Anne. I like George/Francis though! I am obsessed with Anne. | letter |
| iphianassa | Charles Lenox Series - Charles Finch | Charles Lenox, Graham (Charles Lenox), John Dallington | Honestly? I'd love to see some slash in this. Graham, Dallington, even Lenox himself. | letter |
| irishmizzy | Veep | Amy Brookheimer, Dan Egan | Their messed up relationship is SO GREAT and I am super into them together, the antagonism there just makes it better. Basically anything that captures their dysfunctional relationship would be AMAZING, and if you want to do some sort of fic trope-centered fic for them I would die from joy. Maybe they're forced to share a bed, maybe Selina makes them fake a relationship to take the focus of some giant fuck-up, any way you want to write it, that's the way I need it. | letter |
| irishmizzy | Go On (TV) | Lauren Bennett, Steven (Go On) | Remember that time they sang together and found out they had a compatibility rating of 99? BECAUSE I SURE DO. Maybe they decide to give it a shot because they also remember it, maybe it happens because Ryan's supposed to help Lauren with something and sends Steven instead, maybe they start a Facebook support group for people personally victimized by Ryan King and they bond, maybe they form a duo and start singing at open mic nights, I don't know, that's up to you. If you want to include anyone else from the show, DO IT, I loved everyone on this show so much and I'm still sad it got cancelled. | letter |
| irishmizzy | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | The ULTIMATE DREAM would be if you took any dumb fandom trope (woke up married! found a baby! forced to share a bed! handcuffed together!) and smashed these two into it. But really, anything with these two and their friendship would be great. I WOULD NOT COMPLAIN AT ALL (I would do whatever the opposite of complaining is -- puking rainbows? screaming with joy from a mountaintop) if you wanted to take it in a romantic direction. I stopped looking for Elementary fic a long time ago because it was all gen and normally I love gen but I love the idea of these two being drift compatible old marrieds even more, so if you are willing to take it down that road, PLEASE DO. | letter |
| irishmizzy | The Newsroom (US TV) | Sloan Sabbith, Don Keefer | They were (are, technically) my favorite part of this show, so legit anything about them would be great. I am seriously obsessed with these two emotional idiots being emotional idiots in love. Anything you want to do with their fledgling relationship would be amaaaazing, because where do they go after he bought her book? Anywhere! The only thing on their horizon is everything! | letter |
| Irmelin | The Fionavar Tapestry - Guy Gavriel Kay | Coll (Fionavar Tapestry), Diarmuid dan Ailell, Paul Schafer, Aileron dan Ailell | I love these characters so much it's ridiculous. There are so many great moments between all or some of them in the books, and more of that would thrill me! I'd love to see anything with these characters, together or by themselves. Drinking together, fighting together, after Kevin's death, after Prydwen is lost, after Diar's death, pre-canon, post-canon, anything you could possibly think of. Slash or gen (or het, if you want to work any female characters into the story, which I don't mind at all) - I love it all! | letter |
| Irmelin | Friday's Child - Georgette Heyer | Gilbert Ringwood, Ferdinand Fakenham, Hero Wantage, Anthony "Sherry" Sheringham | Friday's Child is my favourite Heyer novel, and I adore every single character, especially these four. Hero is just brilliant, Sherry is wonderful, Ferdy is absolutely hilarious and Gil is the lovliest of them all, and excellent at saving the day. I would just love to see them up to the same sort of antics as in the book, and just see them in a quiet domestic scene, although I have a hard time imagining it would stay quiet for very long. I just love the genuine friendship between them all, but if you want to go down the Gil/Ferdy route, I am so on board with that. | letter |
| Irmelin | Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger | Professor Lyall, Biffy (Parasol Protectorate), Genevieve Lefoux, Alessandro Tarabotti | I may have actually clapped my hands in glee when Biffy/Lyall became canon. I loved them together from the very start, and I was so pleased with how much their roles grew with each book. Anything about them would make me so happy, whether it's during canon or after, or even before, which would be interesting. I chose Alessandro too, because I find his and Lyall's relationship intriguing, and Genevieve because she makes everything better, but you don't have to include them if you don't want to. And if you want to include other characters from the books, go right ahead! I love them all. | letter |
| Irmelin | Tigana - Guy Gavriel Kay | Baerd bar Saevar, Devin bar Garin, Sandre d'Astibar | That very last sentence of Tigana is just pure evil. I love it and hate it at the same time. And every time I read it, it makes me so frustrated, because I want to know what will happen! If you want to write that story, it would be amazing. Does it always come true, what they say about three men seeing a riselka? If that's not the story you want to write, trust me, it's perfectly fine. I would be more than happy to read anything about these characters set in this fantastic world. You don't have to include all three of the characters, and at the same time, feel free to add in others. I pretty much love everything about Tigana, so everything goes. | letter |
| Irmelin | Bletchley Circle | Susan Gray, Millie (Bletchley Circle), Lucy (Bletchley Circle), Jean (Bletchley Circle) | The Bletchley Circle just hit all my buttons. I'm very fascinated by the work at Bletchley Park, so fic set during that time would be wonderful. But I'd be just as happy with fics dealing with how they ended up at Bletchley, or what they did after the war, or what will be next for them. What happened to all of Millie and Susan's plans? How does Jean know everything she knows? What goes on in Lucy's head? Or maybe a new case they all solve together. Gen or femslash doesn't matter, and if you choose to write femslash, I can honestly see any pairing within these four work. | letter |
| Irmelin | Fresh Meat (TV) | Vod (Fresh Meat), Oregon (Fresh Meat) | I love Vod and Oregon and the two of them together. There's something so wonderfully hesitant about their relationship. They're so different and yet so perfect together. I love Oregon's desperate need to fit in, and the way she keeps lying about absoutely everything, and Vod is just unlike any character I've ever seen, and I love her for it. I would love to read about what happened when they went off travelling together, or what happens when they come back, or something way off in the future. As I said, I adore their friendship, but still, if you want to turn it into femslash, no one would be happier than me. Feel free to throw in the other characters as well, in particular Josie or JP, or ooooh, Jean Shales. | letter |

| isabeau | Dreamsnake - Vonda McIntyre | I just ... I love the snakes, love the mythos and worldbuilding, and generally want moremoremore. | letter | |
| isabeau | Glitch (Video Game) | I MISS GLITCH SO MUCH ;_; Glitchy fic makes me happysadhappy and I can never get enough. Feel free to write about either Glitch-that-was or Glitch-that-is-now (for surely they all still exist even though the game interface isn't there. |
letter | |
| isabeau | Mathnet | Honestly my memories of Mathnet are a wee bit fuzzy, but I remember absolutely loving the show, so ... do with that what you will! | letter | |
| isabeau | Watership Down - Richard Adams | I could go with many things - Dandelion telling more stories (either El-ahrairah ones or not), Kehaar returning to the warren after he's found a mate, how the rabbits adapt to their new home, how later generations work the adventures getting to / starting Watership Down into general rabbit mythology, or really whatever pleases you. | letter | |
| isabeau | Haven | Nathan Wuornos | I have only just started watching Haven -- but don't worry, I'm already partway through S3 and will be fully caught up with current eps by the time yuletide rolls around -- and I just sort of want ALL THE NATHAN FIC EVER. Pretty please. Especially if it revolves around touch (see my yuletide letter for details) | letter |
| ishafel | The Bolinvars - Marguerite Bayliss | Hugo Bolinvar, Devereux Bolinvar | Anything, really! Epic foxhunting adventures, another trip to England, Dev/ Hugo, you name it. | letter |
| ishafel | I Drive Your Truck - Lee Brice (Music Video) | Narrator (I Drive Your Truck), You (I Drive Your Truck) | This is sad, but i like to think of them as boyfriends, and I want them to have a happy ending. | letter |
| ishafel | Mercy Thompson Series - Patricia Briggs | Bran Cornick (Mercy Thompson), Leah Cornick (Mercy Thompson), Ben (Mercy Thompson), Adam Hauptman | I'm pretty fascinated by Leah and Bran's relationship, and I'd kind of like to see her kick ass (maybe even Bran's ass) in her own way. I also love Ben, Adam (and of course Mercy)-- actually I love pretty much all the characters in this series/ 'verse, so feel free to use any of them as much or as little as you like. | letter |
| ishafel | Doctrine of Labyrinths - Sarah Monette | Felix Harrowgate, Murtagh Morzansson, Mildmay Foxe | I'd really like to see something with Felix/ Murtagh, set either during or after the last book. It doesn't need to be porn (although it can be-- just nothing much past the detail level of what happens in the books, please) -- something character- driven or plotty would be great, too. | letter |
| ishafel | Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater | Ronan Lynch, Adam Parrish, Richard Campbell Gansey III, Blue Sargent | Either ensemble fic or pairing is good-- whoever/ however you like! I'm definitely fascinated by the Glendower quest, but everyone hanging out would be nice, too. | letter |
| ishafel | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | Thomas Nightingale, Peter Grant (Rivers of London), Lesley May | ||
| ishie | Sun Records RPF | Sam Phillips (Sun Records RPF), Johnny Cash (Sun Records RPF), Elvis Presley (Sun Records RPF), Carl Perkins (Sun Records RPF) | I mean for this to be the actual Million Dollar Quartet, not the Broadway musical version, minus Jerry Lee Lewis because ew, and plus Sam Phillips because yes. Put us in that studio, or in the car afterward, or years later they run into each other somewhere. Or what if the engineer didn't just record that day and Sam didn't just call the paper, what if they put together a tour, or a real album, or a book of photographs and interviews, or a television special, or a movie! Expand that tiny bubble of time to fit whatever you'd want it to be, and tell me all about it! | letter |
| ishie | King Creole (1958) | Danny Fisher, Crawfish Seller | Before I run you off with my optional details (so. many. details.), let me just say: I would be so happy with anything. ANYTHING. Crawfish Seller and Danny Fisher. Tell me a story. *chinhands* (OKAY SO. Have you seen this movie? I'm sure you have because why would you be offering... Let's start over. THIS MOVIE!!! :DDDD!!!! It's great and I love it so much and I hate to do this to you but: let's ignore everything that happens after the opening song! :D: You know, this one: Crawfish, with Kitty White (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQOlgXaSDy8, from 1:37 on). Because here is what I want. What I forever want. I want Danny and the Crawfish Seller to be in love and secretly together, and everything he's doing and everything she's doing is to try to make it so they can be together. AND THE SONG IS PRETTY OBVIOUSLY CODE FOR WHEN THEY MEET SECRETLY AT NIGHT AMIRITE OR AMIRITE. (I go into so much more detail in my letter, if you're into that. I'm sorry. If you're not, I promise: anything, I will love it.)) |
letter |
| ishie | Back to the Future (Movies) | Biff Tannen, Gertrude Tannen, Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, Griff Tannen | Yeah, yeah, Marty and Doc and Jennifer and Lorraine and George. I love them. We all do. They're great! But I want to know about TANNENS. I said "and" all four, but a story about any one or combination of them would be fantastic. Do you want to take it back or forward to other generations? DO IT. Did Buford have a wife? Why did he turn to outlawin'? How did he get to be in California? Who raised his baby? How did they deal with living where Buford harassed everybody and was eventually hanged? Who's Gertrude (Biff's grandma)? Buford's (great-?)granddaughter? Daughter-in-law? Who does Biff marry in the improved non-casino original timeline to wind up with a child that eventually produces Griff? What if aside from Buford, Biff, and Griff, the Tannen line is unmarried women who keep their names!! What if all the dudes aren't big dumb jerkfaces! What's your headcanon for this family? I'd really like to read about them being treated fairly as people, not all good or all bad. Maybe a timeline where someone makes a different choice and it isn't a McFly who changes the course of a Tannen's life? | letter |
| ishie | 황금신부 | Golden Bride (TV 2007) | Kim Young Soo, Kang Won Mi, Kang Sae Mi, Heo Dong Gu | What happens next? That's literally all I want. What happens next for these couples. Or individuals! Do they work out in the long-run? Does the fallout from ... uh, the epic levels of drama elsewhere in the family affect them? Does Dong-gu's mother ever chill the f out for three seconds? WHAT ABOUT THE BABIES? (I don't even like babies; I just want to see Won-mi or Young-soo clumsily caring for children and crying because they aren't being taken care of themselves? It's a thing, shhh. Shhhh.) | letter |
| ishie | 14th Century CE RPF | Philippa of Hanault (14th Century CE RPF), Joan of England (14th Century CE RPF), Anne of Bohemia (14th Century CE RPF), Isabella of France (14th Century CE RPF) | We've got hundreds of years of junk about their husbands/fathers/sons/brothers. I want stories about them. Especially about having to leave their homes to marry strangers. Especially Joan of England, who died on the way (one of the first English victims of the Black Death :( ) and was only 14 or 15 years old at the time, and Isabella, who was also called the She-Wolf of France. Anything, really! I picked all four but any combination or solo would be great, too. | letter |
| ishie | Greek Mythology | Persephone (Greek Mythology), Hestia (Greek Mythology), Demeter (Greek Mythology), Eileithyia (Greek Mythology) | Persephone is kind of the fandom bicycle come Yuletide, I know. I want a different version, one where Hades doesn't really even figure into the story except as a device for Persephone's actions. Retell the story so it's all about Persephone and Demeter, about Persephone making choices, about rebellion, about subjugation, about personal liberty, about destiny. About Persephone and expectation, Demeter and loss of control, &c, &c. Eileithyia and Hestia, man, give me something. Hestia's basically a big boring wooden block of a goddess: carve her out so we can see her. Eileithyia gets COMPLETELY overlooked, and as the goddess of childbirth, she'd have been a pretty huge deal to a lot of women and families. How do they tie into the story of Demeter, and Persephone, and the two together? How do all four of the women live as goddesses (especially goddesses of traditionally feminine spheres) in a pantheon that's ruled by a brute like Zeus and abetted by his bros who think it's totally okay to swan-rape or golden-shower-impregnate or abduct total strangers who look super hot by the side of a lake or a river? | letter |

| Isis | Cadfael Chronicles - Ellis Peters | Sister Magdalen (Cadfael) | I'd be happy with anything about this character, but I would particularly love to read the account of her life after she enters the cloister: how did she use her talents to rise to her de facto leadership position? Or give me a story about her dealing with a problem among the sisters, or helping a runaway bride-to-be decide whether to take vows or return to her father, or advising a woman in a similar position to her old life. You can include Brother Cadfael if you like, but you don't have to. And I don't mind a background romance in the story (het, slash, or femslash) but please keep it to whatever original characters you introduce - I'd prefer Sister Magdalen's role to be gen. | letter |
| Isis | Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater | Noah Czerny | My request details are spoilery for the book, and in case this goes to the pinch hit list or is being browsed for Madness I don't want to spoil anyone, so please see my letter at http://isis.dreamwidth.org/87740.html. | letter |
| Isis | Space Vehicles | Spirit (Mars Rover), Opportunity (Mars Rover) | Okay, a long time ago - before I even knew about Anthropomorfic - I used to avidly read the livejournal journals spiritrover and opportunitygrrl. I loved their sibling rivalry, their excitement about exploring, their whole teenage-girl "Woohoo, I'm on Mars! This is cool!" vibe. This (I'm embarrassed to say!) is my headcanon characterization of these rovers, and a story based on the feel of these journals would be awesome. (Though I would appreciate it if spiritrover used proper capitalization!) | letter |
| Isis | The Way - Fastball (Song) | Tell me the story of this song! I want this couple to somehow have found an Eden that they think they can get to. How did they discover its existence? Are they just deluded? Is it real? Do they make it there? What IS there, when they arrive? How is it that they translate off this plane of existence to this utopia? Or give me their children's view on their parents' crazy quest. Maybe they find their parents years later, not aged, in their utopia. Maybe they get mysterious postcards. Or maybe they're dead by the side of the road. I don't know - you tell me! | letter | |
| Island_of_Reil | Katie John series - Mary Calhoun | Katie John Tucker, Edwin Jones | This series of children's books is set in early 1960s Missouri. Katie John (the "John" is after her grandfather) had just moved there with her family from California, and the series follows her from age 9 or 10 into early adolescence. She's got issues about her femininity, especially when she compares herself with her very girly classmate Priscilla. Edwin is the loner boy Katie hangs out with and, in the last book, realizes she's attracted to. I'd love to see aged-up fic with Katie as an adult, exploring romance with Edwin, or even just a friendship with him. | letter |
| Island_of_Reil | Irish Mythology | Fionn mac Cumhaill (Fenian Cycle), Caílte mac Rónáin (Fenian Cycle) | I nominated Muirne and Sadhbh as well, because I'd have been OK with reading about either of them, but what I really want is Fionn/Caílte slash. :D | letter |
| Island_of_Reil | Drowned Lovers (traditional Scottish ballad) | Willie (Drowned Lovers), Margaret (Drowned Lovers), Willie's Mother, Margaret's Mother | This ballad is also known as "Clyde Water" or "A Mother's Malison." I am mainly familiar with Kate Rusby's version, but there are other versions out there. (Note: "May Margaret" = "maid Margaret" in Scots dialect; "May" isn't her name.) I am up for a pre-tragedy exploration of Willie and Margaret's relationship, or the relationship of either of them to his or her mother. Alternatively, one or both of the women dealing with the grief and guilt of having caused their children's deaths. It's possible that one or both were motivated to keep the lovers apart because the families were different in social status; if you'd like to explore that, especially if you've got some basic knowledge of the history of that time and place, please feel free. |
letter |
| Island_of_Reil | Cyber Star series - Wilhelmina Baird | Cassandra Blaine, Swordfish (Cyber Star) | This is a space-opera kind of trilogy written in the mid-1990s; Cass is the snarky first-person narrator. I've really forgotten most of the worldbuilding and plot by now, but I remember having the hots for Swordfish, whose moral status was ambiguous through most of the series. Toward the end of the third novel, Baird finally got Cass and Swordfish in bed together, but she faded to black even before they kissed. If you know this fandom (sadly, I suspect nobody in this year's fest does), I would love an explicit sex scene, in character. IIRC, Swordfish had recently been wounded, so working in a little vulnerability on his part wouldn't hurt (that's always the draw for me with snarky characters, the soft spots underneath the tough exterior). | letter |
| itemfinder | The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones | Christopher Chant, Mordecai Roberts | Tacroy, Cat Chant | I'm especially interested in how Cat and Christopher get along (seeing Cat meet younger Christopher somehow would be ace) and/or anything and everything related to Tacroy. We did not get nearly enough of him in the series. | letter |
| itemfinder | Mairelon the Magician - Patricia Wrede | Anything, dear writer, from this fandom. There is not at all enough attention paid to it. | letter | |
| itemfinder | Andromeda | Seamus Harper | I'm more into the earlier part of the series than the later -- but considering Andromeda is my favorite show, that doesn't really mean much. Anything involving Harper is lovely. | letter |
| itemfinder | Quantum Leap | Al Calavicci, Sam Beckett | This fandom is one of my oldest, and one of my favorites. So long as both Sam and Al are present, you can do no wrong. | letter |

| ivyfic | The Casual Vacancy - J.K. Rowling | Krystal Weedon, Sukhvinder Jawanda, Barry Fairbrother | I'd love a flashback fic from Krystal's time on the rowing team. | letter |
| ivyfic | Sleep No More - Punchdrunk | Honestly, I have no idea how you would write a story about Sleep No More, but I'd love to see what you came up with. | letter | |
| ivyfic | Traders (TV 1995) | Grant Jansky, Jack Larkin, Donald D'Arby | There are so many plot holes in this show and so little fic to deal with it. For a while, Donald and Jack made a little family for Grant. But then Donald left and Jack [spoiler] and Grant sort of went insane and the show never really dealt with how he felt about his friends leaving, so anything about that would be great. | letter |
| ivyfic | Back to the Future (Movies) | Marty McFly, Emmett "Doc" Brown | I want to know what it was like for Doc after the first movie, waiting for his best friend to be born. He'd have to wait thirty years to know if he succeeded. And when he finally met Marty McFly, it would be Marty from a different timeline than the one he originally met--so how did that work? | letter |
| Izhilzha | Deadwood | Doc Cochran, Jane Cannary, Joanie Stubbs, Jewel (Deadwood) | I'm still finishing season 3, so I don't know where Joanie and Jane end up, but I love their blossoming friendship. I've also been craving fic for Jewel, exploring her life and perspective. |
letter |
| Izhilzha | The Dark Crystal (1982) | Kira (Dark Crystal), Jen (Dark Crystal), Fizzgig (Dark Crystal) | Missing scenes, or adventures in the newly restored world... you choose. Jen/Kira would be a plus. | letter |
| Izhilzha | Tokyo Godfathers (2003) | Hana (Tokyo Godfathers), Miyuki (Tokyo Godfathers), Kiyoko (Tokyo Godfathers), Gin (Tokyo Godfathers) | The beautiful messiness of real life is why I love this film. I'd like to see a fic where that mess gets transformed as the story is passed on--say, to Kiyoko when the child is older. | letter |
| Izhilzha | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Molly Carpenter, Thomas Raith | Looking for emotional intensity, not sexytimes. | letter |
| Izhilzha | ReBoot (TV) | Turbo (ReBoot), Mouse (ReBoot), Bob (ReBoot) | I'd love a glimpse behind the scenes in the last part of season two... when Mouse was Turbo's secret agent. | letter |
| izzybeth | The Defenders (Comic) | Betty Ross (Defenders), Stephen Strange (Defenders), Namor the Sub-Mariner (Defenders), Danny Rand (Defenders) | omg omg DEFENDERS. BETTYYYYYY. i just. I HAVE ALL THE FEELINGS ABOUT BETTY AND I LOVE HER AND HER BIG-ASS SWORD SO MUCH AND I CAN'T STOP CAPSLOCKING ABOUT HER AUUUUUGHHHHH weeping. ahem. coherency, right. i would love team fic, Namor being a dick (because he IS), and Stephen being that weird guy with the books and the words whose backgrounds are occasionally psychedelic, and Danny being delightful. AND BETTY. i cannot stress my love of Betty enough. god. | |
| izzybeth | Galahad - Josh Ritter (Song) | Angel of the Holy Grail (Galahad - Josh Ritter), Galahad (Galahad - Josh Ritter) | i LOVE this song. i love snarky angel, doofy galahad, and especially the section "in heaven there's no lamb chops queen guineveres for hand jobs marijuana kenny rogers or ecstasy". and the matter-of-fact-ness of "the angel smoked a cigarette and when he was sure galahad was dead". and i LOVE the twist at the end. i get full-body shivers of happy when i think about it. i know angels are genderless, but i always thought it should have been a lady angel, myself. go nuts with this one. and remember, josh ritter is a closet medievalist. :D | |
| izzybeth | Hawkeye (Comics) | Lucky (Hawkeye), Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) | Pizza Dog is my favorite dog in the whole world. his issue was everything i've ever wanted from a comic AND MORE. and Kate is obviously the best Hawkeye. so with these guys? go crazy. what happens in LA while Kate's foiling Madam Masque's nefarious plans? does Lucky ever get another slice of pizza? do they ever return to sad-sack Clint in New York? all this and more will be revealed... | |
| izzybeth | Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead - Stoppard | Rosencrantz (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern), Guildenstern (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern), The Player (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern) | i have been obsessed with this play since i was about 13, and got to see a production of it for the first time this summer. it was AMAZING. i dig both the proper play version and the movie version (Oldman is my head!Rosencrantz forever), so incorporate one or the other or both, i am not picky about that. i'm really into Guildenstern's need to make sense of everything through language, and i love when Rosencrantz is less derpy than he thinks he is. and the Player, oh what a character he is. make him devious, make him shifty, make him completely magical, whatever. | |
| izzybeth | Vikings (TV) | Athelstan (Vikings), Ragnar Lothbrok, Lagertha (Vikings), Floki (Vikings) | so we're just ignoring basically everything that happened in the last episode, right? right, good. i would love something with the wonderful ot3, and i LOVE first time type fics for them. i love Athelstan and Lagertha's relationship without Ragnar getting in the way as well. the kids are delightful, so if you wanna write them go for it. Floki is one weird dude, but endlessly fascinating, and i'd love to see the sort of labyrinthine conversations he and Athelstan could have. one thing i really love about this show is its historical accuracy (i'm such an Anglo-Saxon nerd, and i could honestly have some sort of orthographic love affair with the Lindisfarne Gospel). | |

| JackOfNone | BlazBlue | Shishigami Bang | I freaking love Bang. He's my favorite character in the game by far and I just...I have feelings :( I love his earnestness, his BURNING SPIRIT, his adorable dopey-ness, and his moments of surprisingly genuine heroism. Honestly I would be good with anything but I would especially love exploring some of his upbringing, training, and what life is like around Ronin-gai for Bang and his entourage (I've always wondered where Bang got his Ars Armagus...) Or! Feel free to speculate wildly about the future, his search for Lord Tenjou's son, what terrible things might be in store when he and Relius finally clash over Kushinada's Lynchpin, or what on earth he means when he says he owns some "ninja dogs". I love the BlazBlue cast in general so don't be shy about bringing in anyone else you particularly fancy (though I'm especially partial to the Clover family and Amane). And don't worry about being jossed by Chronophantasma spoilers...I don't mind a good what-if :) |
letter |
| JackOfNone | Soul Blazer | I just...I love this game. I love the atmosphere, I love the strange creatures you come across, I love the feeling of hope that it has. i love all the little details of the game that add up to a pretty interesting world, so worldbuildy stuff about random NPCs or the role of Deathtoll and the Master in the Cosmos (is there, like...a religion dedicated to worshipping either of them? We never see). I really like the non-human towns (the mermaids, the animals, the abandoned laboratory, and the sprites) and would love to hear more about them and what life is like there. Speaking of, are the sprites really tiny, or do they just ride really enormous snails? You could be the one to answer this question! (I go back and forth on the issue) If you are more a character type, I always thought the hero had the potential to be really interesting...he's clearly some kind of angelic being, and he can talk to anything. What IS life like when you can hear the innermost thoughts of doors and tulips? What does he think about the humans' tendency to frequently eat animals and plants? Has he dealt with Deathtoll before? |
letter | |
| JackOfNone | Corruption of Champions | I guess it goes without saying that porn is great for this fandom :3 I love all the transformation stuff and would love to see something that really got a little more in-depth about it...either with the Champion or with one of the camp followers. Pick your favorite and run with it! The game doesn't go into a whole lot of detail about what it's really LIKE to suddenly find yourself with a footlong horsecock or turned into a bee-girl with an ovipositor, so some exploration of their new form (and maybe the corrupted mindset that goes with it) would be awesome. I'm also interested in what goes on when the Champion isn't around, and what the NPCs could get up to...what would Marble's milk do to Essrayle? Between Izma and Kiha, who would top? What if Ro'gar encountered a certain albino lizard mage? Finally, I confess a weakness for bad ends and am frequently disappointed that they're, well...endings. Continuing one of the bad ends (especially one of the capitivity/slavery ones!) would make me so happy. Basically lots of things are good :) |
letter | |
| JackOfNone | JoJo no Kimyouna Bouken | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure | Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, Lisa Lisa, Joseph Joestar | I am a sucker for esoteric martial arts nonsense and would love to hear more about Lisa Lisa and Caesar's history together, especially Caesar's rise from street tough to Ripple-mastering playboy...and I would also love to see their time with Joseph, brief as it was, from their perspectives :) I'm a big Joseph/Caesar shipper and while I'm not asking for shipfic necessarily (though that would be awesome) anything that fleshes out their relationship a bit would be awesome as well. I'd love to her more about Lisa Lisa's training, too! A casefic of sorts where young(er) Lisa Lisa stars in some righteously insane adventure of her own? Or maybe an AU where both she and Caesar live to develop Stands (can you imagine omg)? Basically anything featuring one of these 3 characters would totally awesome. |
letter |
| JackOfNone | Zelda II: The Adventure of Link | When the official Zelda timeline was posted, I thought it was really interesting that the older Zelda games were all part of an offshoot timeline where Link failed to defeat Ganon in Ocarina of Time. It really put a lot of things about the NES games into perspective -- the fact that the only humans you meet are hiding in caves and secret hideouts under bushes in the original LoZ, while Hyrule is so full of life in other games. Zelda 2 remains one of my favorite Zelda games...the atmosphere is really interesting, I think! It seemed like people were rebuilding after a great tragedy, but the world was still controlled by Ganon -- his spies are everywhere, after all! Every time you step off the road there were monsters, and they are all after YOU PERSONALLY. It was actually kind of terrifying...a Zelda game set in a post-apocalyptic world, where you were braving horrific danger to write an ancient wrong. I would love something that looks at Link's adventure in this game as a horror story, because that's really what it felt like to play it sometimes. Or in another vein, I thought it was really interesting that the princess you rescued in this game was an ancient one, put to sleep generations ago. How does she react to awakening? How does she deal with this grim new Hyrule? |

| jackycomelately | The Incredible Hulk (TV) | Jack McGee (The Incredible Hulk TV), David Bruce Banner (The Incredible Hulk TV) | As long as it's canon-based I'm happy. I don't really want AU. I would be happy to see them as enemies, lovers or friends (as long as I see their transformation). I would love to see the revelation scene where David is finally revealed to McGee--either as the Hulk or just as being alive! Dear Yule letter coming to my journal soonish. |
letter |
| jackycomelately | Dead Zone | Johnny Smith, Walt Bannerman | I'm open to most things here. Either gen or slash. Showing examples of their somewhat difficult friendship would be most excellent. Outsider perspective would be fun. I like Sarah and JJ. Dear Yule letter coming to my journal soonish. |
letter |
| jackycomelately | Brat Farrar - Josephine Tey | Bee Ashby, Brat Farrar | I love love their relationship. Missing scenes from the novel? Anything canon-based would be awesome. I'm not really interested in AU or romance. Anything showing them as family or showing hurt/comfort would be excellent. Dear Yule letter coming to my journal soonish. |
letter |
| jackycomelately | The Fugitive (1993) | Richard Kimble, Samuel Gerard | I don't really see them as a romantic couple. I personally like the adversarial edge. One of my favourite tropes is enemies being forced to work together. I'm good with a team-based story. Feel free to use any of the secondary characters. Dear Yule letter coming to my journal soonish. |
letter |
| jaclynhyde | My Teacher Is an Alien - Bruce Coville | Peter Thompson, Broxholm (My Teacher Is an Alien) | I want to see Peter and aliens! If you take a look at my 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea requests, that gives an idea of what I'd love in fic: Peter interacting with a strange new world, with wonder and curiosity and determination. I only nominated Broxholm (since he's my favorite), but Peter with any aliens or alien situation would be great. And I love Susan and Duncan and everyone else, so feel free to include them. I secretly ship Broxholm and well aged-up Peter, but I know that's going to be squicky to a lot of people so please don't feel obligated! (If it's the father-figure bit that bothers you rather than the age gap and former student thing, Susan/Broxholm is also intriguing. Or Duncan/Kreeblim. Hell, anyone at all with Broxholm or Kreeblim, they're great. Just no underage please!) Also Poot. I'll love you forever even more if there is Poot. (See my letter for prompts, general likes/dislikes, etc.) |
letter |
| jaclynhyde | Quadrail Series - Timothy Zahn | The Modhri | First of all, if you've read this series, I love you. If you haven't read this, see my pimping post and go read it, whatever it is you're actually writing fic on. So my favorite thing about this series is the Modhri: he's a really cool alien concept, a menacing and competent villain, and eventually a being sick of being enslaved and learning to see things from a very alien viewpoint. And god help me, he's strangely attractive despite the fact that he's coral polyps inhabiting the bodies of, like, bird aliens. So by the last two books, I was shipping Compton/Modhri like mad. I really love the Enemy Mine trope, so seeing Compton and the Modhri learn to trust each other, and the Modhri learn how much he wants a friend, was the greatest thing. If you're up for working out weird interspecies parasitic hive-mind ships, Compton/Modhri would be amazing. (The other necessary participant(s) can either be consenting or just handwaved in some way if it gets physical.) But I would just love anything Modhri, with or without any other characters you'd like. Or even a focus on the other characters because this fandom needs fic! (See my letter for prompts, general likes/dislikes, etc.) |

| jaclynhyde | Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn | Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn), Gilad Pellaeon (Thrawn) | I WILL LOVE ANYTHING WITH THRAWN AND PELLAEON THEY'RE AMAZING If you prefer more details, I ship them a lot. I'm really interested in what could have been between them; in a different situation, if Thrawn had lived longer, might they have become friends? Pellaeon clearly looked up to Thrawn and was getting over his initial wariness of an alien commanding officer, and Thrawn saw his potential in adopting him as a protégée. In the Hand of Thrawn duology, ten years after the Thrawn trilogy, we see Thrawn made a hell of an impression on Pellaeon—it's been a decade and Pellaeon is still hurt by the thought of his death, by the idea that Thrawn might have come back from the dead and not come to him. It's more personal than just professional pride; Thrawn meant a lot to him. What would Thrawn think of what Pellaeon made of himself? And if you've read the Hand of Thrawn Duology, there are so many possibilities with Flim. So many. (See my letter for more nattering about the EU, prompts, general likes/dislikes, etc.) |

| jaclynhyde | Vingt mille lieues sous les mers | Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea - Jules Verne | Pierre Aronnax (Vingt mille lieues sous les mers - Verne), Capitaine Nemo | Captain Nemo (Vingt mille lieues sous les mers - Verne) | Catalogs of fish I love this novel, and I love seeing it through Aronnax's eyes--his wonder at the sights he's seeing, his endless enthusiasm for science, and his fascination with Captain Nemo. I'd really love to read more about the relationship between them, whether during the novel or continuing after it; I definitely ship them, but gen is great too! And although I didn't nominate them, I'd love to see Ned, Conseil, and of course the Nautilus. And plus 10,000 points if Nemo is actually Indian! I don't care if you don't identify his race/nationality, but if you do, going off his official life story would be awesome. If you haven't read The Mysterious Island, it's in Book 3, Chapter 16; long story short, he was an Indian prince named Dakkar who fought in the Sepoy Mutiny against the British, after which his wife and child were executed. I also really adore the 1954 Disney movie--if want to mix and match bits (except Nemo being, uh, British), that is 100% okay. (See my letter for prompts, general likes/dislikes, etc.) |

| jadelennox | The Summer Prince - Alaya Dawn Johnson | This book just floored me with its beauty and its worldbuilding. First of all I should say I'm addicted to post-humanism; I love how this book explores what it means to be human, and who is allowed to police that. I'm curious about Palmares Três, how it came to be, how the Aunties came to power. I'm interested so much in Gil and June's friendship, how they became the snarky, luminous, not-always-likeable people they are. Or how did Enki come to be? Palmares Três's class relations are such an important part of the world. Ship or gen, future or past, anything would be interesting. | letter | |
| jadelennox | Aya de Yopougon | Aya - Marguerite Abouet | Aya herself, of course, is hardcore determined and awesome. I love her commitment to her friends and how she negotiates its conflicts with her commitment to herself. I'd love to see the future: Aya is driven; what challenges will she face? Félicité and Hervé are both so sweet. And Adjoua and Bintou have so many difficulties ahead of them; can they work it out? Or how about the past? How did they become friends? Why does Aya have such different goals than her friends? |
letter | |
| jadelennox | Space Vehicles | Last year I underestimated how many people would write amazingly well-characterized rovers and other space vehicles. If you think you can do that, you impress me no end! I've written a whole post about why I think space vehicles will make an awesome Yuletide fandom. It's not just the Mars rovers, it's also Voyager busy leaving the solar system and still sending back information, because how cool is that? (Also somebody else nominated Solar System (Anthropomorfic); if you feel like making the crossover that would probably be a pretty cool one. *g*) |
letter | |
| jadelennox | Westing Game - Ellen Raskin | Chris Theodorakis, Josie-Jo Ford | First of all, obviously caper or puzzle fic would be amazeballs. I have a particular yen for Chris Theodorakis in a story which is not about his disability, but about Chris (and any other characters). I have strong feelings about how disability is not a metaphor and people with disabilities need to be portrayed realistically but basically it boils down to loving Chris as a character and wanting to see more of him as a whole person. As for Josie-Jo, she did amazing things in a pretty tough time. Her past would be really interesting to explore, or her future during- or post-epliogue (I see her on the SCOTUS bench, myself). Ooh, how about, Chris and JJ solving a puzzle murder? (Anything with either of these characters would be awesome, obviously.) |
letter |
| jadelennox | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | Lesley May | Man, Lesley, right? She's so interesting, and the text acknowledges that she's every bit as awesome as Peter, but the books are his, not hers. I'd like anything where she's the protagonist and the point of view is hers. It doesn't need to be plotty -- though plotty is always welcome! -- but I just want it to be her story. (Please avoid magical healing, though.) | letter |
| jadelennox | Portero Universe - Dia Reeves | I love Portero and the way its awesome inhabitants have adjusted to its weirdness and made it their own. I love Hanna, the "walking billboard for adaptation," how her bipolar disorder is both a strength and a weakness with a complexity with which disabilities are never treated in fiction. I love seeing through her biracial, bicultural eyes as she adapts to Texas from Finland, and dark magical Texas at that. I love the Mortmaine, and Wyatt's crazy history. And while I said I don't like dark violence, I for some inexplicable reason adore Kit and Fancy. So if you write them, I understand the story will have to be dark. | letter | |
| Jae | Deadwood | Al Swearengen, Trixie (Deadwood), Jane Cannary, Joanie Stubbs | I would like a story about any one of these characters, or any combination you choose. My main love in Deadwood is the language, and I am also crazy for the characterizations of the women in the show. There's also not a character in Deadwood I don't like (or, rather, there are plenty I despise, but I love the way they're written) so feel free to include any additional/secondary characters you like. I'm also a big fan of stories set pre-series and missing scenes. | letter |
| Jae | The Wire | Kima Greggs | Would love any glimpse of Kima's life that's not included or only touched on in the show. | letter |
| Jae | Nashville (TV) | Deacon Claybourne, Rayna Jaymes, Juliette Barnes | Would love a story about any one of these characters, or any combination you like. Maybe some backstory on Deacon & Rayna from before the series starts, or a glimpse of Juliette when she wasn't quite at the top yet, or what happens to her when she's older, a country queen instead of a pop princess. | letter |
| Jae | Scandal (TV) | Olivia Pope | ome Olivia backstory would be awesome, or Olivia at work taking care of a new crisis - I'd prefer something like that to something that is solely romance (don't mind relationships included but would prefer they weren't the only thing in the story). | letter |
| jaegecko | Bron | Broen | The Bridge | Saga Norén | I want to better understand some of the bits and pieces from Saga's past that were only hinted at in the show. | letter |
| jaegecko | ◊חטופים | Hatufim | Prisoners of War | Amiel Ben-Horin | If you could write something that has to do with his dual identities as Ami and Yusuf, I would love you forever. | letter |
| jaegecko | Borgen (TV) | Birgitte Nyborg Christensen, Philip Christensen | I would love for you to tell me about what happened in Birgitte and Philip's relationship/friendship in the long interval between seasons two and three. | letter |
| jaegecko | L.A. Law | Abigail "Abby" Perkins, Cara Jean "C.J." Lamb | I requested this for years and years and got nothing, and then finally received karaokegal's marvelous take on them last year as a last-minute pinch hit. Still, I'd still love to see what someone else can do with either one or both of these characters! I'd be interested in either a gen story about either Abby or C.J. (or both), or a slash story that explains a bit more about their relationship than what we saw in canon. Either one really is fine--it's up to you. | letter |
| Jai (lordessrenegade) | The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon | Sam Clay, Josef Kavalier, Rosa Saks | (gen, het, slash, or threesome welcome) I'd love anything that explores the relationship between any combination of these three - gen about them interacting at any point during the book or after, early days fic with Sam & Joe learning about each other and their craft, a story about them all after Joe comes back (or post-book, when/if Sam does), the mostly-untold story of Sam and Rosa and their marriage - anything at all! | letter |
| Jai (lordessrenegade) | The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern | Bailey Alden Clarke, Penelope Aislin "Poppet" Murray, Winston Aidan "Widget" Murray | (gen, het, slash, or threesome welcome) I would like a million epics in this universe, writer, so whatever you would like to write about any of these characters would absolutely make my Yuletide. further worldbuilding of the circus, of the tents and acts it contains, any unseen moment during the course of the book, or some of the adventures the Murrays got up to while away from Bailey, or later-years fic, exploring what happens to the circus and the three of them following the events of the book...whatever you feel like writing, I'll love! | letter |
| Jai (lordessrenegade) | The Heat (2013) | Shannon Mullins Sarah Ashburn | (gen or femslash welcome) I'd love any fic at all about these badass ladies - tell me about a moment we didn't see in the movie, or some backstory on Mullins, or fic about what happens post-movie, and their future adventures bonding and getting up to shenanigans around Boston! anything about the two of them being bros (or bros who bone, if you prefer!) would be awesome! | letter |
| Jai (lordessrenegade) | A League of Their Own (1992) | Mae Mordabito, Doris Murphy | (gen or femslash welcome) I love the relationship between these two - they clearly know the best and worst about each other, and love each other so fiercely because of and/or despite of it, and I'd love any fic that explores that relationship - either as a romantic pairing or as BFFs. backstory about their lives before the league, or scenes of things that happen during the movie that we don't get to see, or what happens in the years after the events of the movie - anything at all would make me so happy! | letter |
| Jain | Archer's Goon - Diana Wynne Jones | Hathaway (Archer's Goon) Torquil (Archer's Goon) | Canon has already provided delicious brotherly angst and the seeds of a happy ending, but it glossed over most of the best parts. I'd love a story that really delves into their falling out: the original argument, their reconciliation, where their relationship goes in the future...pretty much anything exploring that theme. Gen preferred. | letter |
| Jain | Elementary (TV) | Alfredo Llamosa, Joan Watson (Elementary) | Het, please. I like how smart and emotionally aware they both are, and their canonical developing friendship is absolutely charming. (Episode 1x18 was so good for me.) Case fic would be glorious, if your interests run that way, but I'd also love a first time romance or meeting-the-family fic or etc. | letter |
| Jain | Frontier Wolf - Rosemary Sutcliff | Alexios Flavius Aquila, Hilarion (Frontier Wolf) | I adore both these characters. Alexios is hands down my favorite Sutcliff protagonist, and Hilarion is awesomely funny and endearing. And I purely love how open their canonical relationship is to 'shippy future fic. I don't 'ship Alexios/Cunorix, though I think there's basis for reading one-sided romantic attraction from Alexios, which makes for a very reasonable source of angst in a later Alexios/Hilarion relationship. If you don't want to go the jealousy route--or if you do, but want to trope it up a little--then werewolves are always completely awesome in this fandom. I'd love to see werewolf!Hilarion in particular, but there are plenty of other options, as well. (And I realize that this pairs an unusual trope with an unusual kink, but Frontier Wolf werewolves + watersports would make my year.) |
letter |
| Jain | Iskryne Series - Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette | Isolfr, Skjaldwulf, Vethulf | Triad fic, please! I liked how The Tempering of Men developed Skjaldwulf's and Vethulf's side of the triangle, but I think that all three men have a long way to go before they're entirely settled in their relationship, and I'd love to see some of that process. Romance and porn are both great (though I'd prefer to not receive a PWP), as are explorations of the sociopolitical aspects of their relationships with each other and with the wolfheall. | letter |
| Jain | The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin | Arek Harth rem ir Estraven (Left Hand of Darkness), Therem Harth rem ir Estraven (The Left Hand of Darkness) | My primary interests in this fandom are: 1) Therem, 2) winter on Gethen, 3) Therem's and Arek's relationship, and 4) Gethenian sociopolitical structures, in that order. If you don't want to write 'shipfic focusing on these two characters, then gen fic about Therem is more than welcome, especially if it explores the physical setting and/or Gethenian politics. I'd prefer a story set pre-LHoD. | letter |
| Jain | Nova - Samuel R. Delany | Katin Crawford, Pontichos "The Mouse" Provechi | lash, please. This book is such fun, and Katin and the Mouse and their unlikely friendship were my favorite parts of it. I'd love to see what happens to them after the novel's end. | letter |
| james | National Football League RPF | Alex Smith (NFL) | I would just love to see Alex Smith be happy, following the way the 49ers treated him. Whether it's slash and true love, or gen, or friendly bro-sex in celebration, it's all good. I would like to see some behind the scenes, either why his 49ers O-line never blocked for him, or how he's landed on his feet in Kansas City. Any other NFLer is perfectly fine to throw in there! I'm only listing Alex so as not to restrict you. | letter |
| james | Goon (2011) | Doug Glatt, Xavier LaFlamme | On the ice it's Doug's job to protect Xavier. I'd like to see Xavier protecting (or having the realisation that he needs or wants to protect) Doug off the ice. Gen or slash (threesome with Eva is awesome, but not required if you're not into writing that). If that doesn't spark a story idea, then I would be delighted with anything that features Doug and Xavier's friendship, gen or slash. I'm equally content to have Eva part of the relationship or not, just please don't turn her into a bad person in order to get Doug and Xavier together. | letter |
| james | Sesame Street (TV) | Zombies. Really, anything: dark, silly, anything in-between. Do the residents of SS help kids deal after a real zombie attack? Do zombies come to Sesame Street? Does zombie begin with 'Z'? SESAME STREET. ZOMBIES. GO. | letter | |
| james | Women's Hockey RPF | Hayley Wickenheiser (Women's Hockey RPF), Taylor Crosby (Women's Hockey RPF), Amanda Kessel (Women's Hockey RPF) | I don't really have a prompt, nor am I restricted to the characters above. I am just getting into this fandom (well, the games) and I would love some fic. Consider this your chance to write whomever you like! Plots I would like are either awkward dorky first time falling in love, or some AU wherein women hockey players end up ruling the world. (Or just kicking ass, like jaeger pilots or ghost hunters or what have you.) Introduce me to the players you adore! | letter |
| james | Mission: Impossible (TV 1988) | Max Harte | Okay, all I want here is some good old fashioned hurt/comfort. Gen or slash, wallowing is absolutely fine as long as there is comfort. My teenage-soul yearned for more Max owies and tender comforting (from anyone, really). | letter |
| james | Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (TV) | Alice (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland), Cyrus (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland) | I didn't see this during nominations, so I don't have to option of Knave as a required character. I see him being in love with Alice, though, and I want him to have a happy ending (like Alice and Cyrus will, eventually, in the end.) So I'd like a future-fic, where Alice and Cyrus are reunited and having adventures again, and optionally, Knave to be happy as well (and if you want to write threesome, that is awesome-sauce. If not, just happy, somehow, somewhere. Feel free to crossover Knave with some other character to give him a partner, slash or het.) | letter |
| jamjar | Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) | George Smiley, Connie Sachs, Peter Guillam, Ricki Tarr | I have a huge competence kink which-- well, these characters at least play on to. I also have a thing about loyalty, which these characters also feed in to. I love George Smiley's character, and I believe that in different ways and to different effects, multiple other people are too-- with his competence, with his diligence, if nothing else. As with most, I'd be happy with gen, slash or (mostly canon) het. | letter |
| jamjar | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | Abigail Kamara, Peter Grant (Rivers of London), Sahra Guleed, Thomas Nightingale | Narrowing down characters to pick is tricky in this one. I like that all of these people come from different places, but they have things that connect them to others-- Abigail and Peter from growing up in the same place (if at different times), Peter, Sahra and Thomas for all being *police*, when -for hugely different reasons- they could have ended up at different places, Sahra and Peter as coppers early in their careers and for not being white. Abigail and Peter and Thomas for magic, for coming at it from different places and with different mindsets, but it's still a connection. I am from London, so anything that has the same, precise sense of geography as the books would be great. |
letter |
| jamjar | The Hollow Crown (2012) | Prince Hal (The Hollow Crown (2012)), Edward "Ned" Poins (The Hollow Crown (2012)), Richard II of England (The Hollow Crown (2012)), Henry IV of England (The Hollow Crown (2012)) | The problem with history is that everyone in it ends up dead. I really loved the plays, and this interpretation of them, but history is a killer. With Hal and Ned, I'd like some sense of the awareness of Hal's potential-- all his charisma, which you see bits of, but isn't being put to use. I liked his relationship with Ned and would have loved to see more of that, especially after Hal steps up his role. Yuletide only lets you pick up to 4 characters, or I would have added Hotspur as well, because in some ways I think it was a shame that we never got to see them together. Bloody history, getting in the way of stories. With Richard and Bolingbroke-- oh, that is a tragedy, because Richard believed as an item of faith that he should be king-- that giving in to abdication was a sin, but he was so bad at the *job* of being king. The contrast from the beginning, when Bolingbroke wants his favour, and the end and just-- all such a tragedy. Which is probably why I wouldn't object to an AU, or a crack-taken-seriously type fic, or a bit of trope or cliché, because that's just about the only way you can imagine them getting even close to a happy ending. |
letter |
| jamjar | Life (TV) | Charlie Crews, Dani Reese, Rachel Seybolt, Jane Seever | There wasn't even close to enough of this show, and there was so much more that I wanted to see. In the show, and in fic, I like seeing how they interact with each other, how they made those connections or how they would have, if they met. And I like the awkwardness, the way they're all kind of broken or bent, and how they fit with each other despite (because?) of this. I'd also be interested in seeing more of the stuff we didn't get a chance to see-- what happens with Rachel, when Jane and Dani meet, the aftermath. I love all the characters in this show. In terms of pairings I'm pretty open-- there's a dynamite Rachel/Charlie fic out there, which isn't a pairing I'd have thought I'd go for. And Charlie and Reese are love, whether that love is gen, het or *other*. I know that's supremely unhelpful, but honestly, I just like it when any of these characters are in a room together, and it kills me that we never got t | letter |
| jamjar | Orphan Black (TV) | Sarah Manning, Alison Hendrix, Felix Dawkins, Cosima Niehaus | o I love the clone-sisters, and I would love to see more of them. I am particularly fond of the core cast -Sarah, Alison, Cosima- and Felix (honorary clone-sib?), not least for the ways they're all different, while still each having this strength of character. For all the cloning, there's a big family-of-choice element to this show, which I love. I love Sarah for taking all of her past and using it in the present, for growing and developing this sense of responsibility. I love that Cosima has this huge, warm sense of intellect. I love that she's a scientist and a student and honestly, she reads like one, that the fact that she loves science and using her mind doesn't make her cold or remote. I love Alison for being who she is, while being in a situation that's so utterly alien-- she doesn't have any useful crossover skills, not the way Sarah does or Cosima does, but she comes through because what else can she do, and her protectiveness over her kids expands to Kira and the others. And Felix! Because he sees people so clearly, and that doesn't mean that he doesn't love them or isn't squarely on their side, just that he's going in to it with his eyes wide open. I also like that he has his own relationships with other characters independent of his relationship with Sarah (especially Alison, because they're so different, but, *friendship*.) And then there's stuff with transhumanism and cloning and, seriously, how can you not love this show? |

| jan | 有頂天家族 | The Eccentric Family | I deliberately chose 'Any' for this fandom, and I mean it. I'd love pretty much anything for this series, as long as it captures something of its atmosphere: gentle, warm, by turns whimsical and melancholic. But here are some ideas, if it helps: pre- or post-series slice-of-life vignettes. Benten backstory. Previous-generation fic, with Souichirou and Mother Shimogamo (and Soun too?). Shimogamo family hijinks. What does it mean to be a disciple of Akadama-sensei's, and what can a tengu teach tanuki? Future-fic -- does Kaisei ever reveal herself to Yasaburou? Just one request: please, if you're writing backstory fic about Benten and Akadama-sensei, I'd really appreciate if it doesn't get too dark or skeevy. (Obviously it can't be entirely fluffy and happy either, but still.) |
letter | |
| jan | Gatchaman Crowds | I chose 'Any' for this fandom, but I strictly mean the Yuletide-definition, i.e. 'any of the nominated characters'. In other words: Hajime, Joe, O.D. and/or Sugane. (Ensemble fic with the other non-nominated characters would also be good, as long as one or more of the nominated characters play a main role.) Hajime is pretty fascinating -- I'd love a look at her life before (or after!!) the series. For the others, I'm particularly interested in what it was like to be a Gatchaman before Hajime came along. All those missing numbers, for instance -- are they the numbers of Gatchaman who quit, or perhaps even died? Was Sugane basically raised by Joe?? |
letter | |
| jan | Mushishi | Kumado (Mushishi) | I find Kumado's story (and the nature of his existence) fascinating. Anything that deals with his role as a mushishi of the Minai clan would be lovely. It doesn't have to be entirely serious, though! I loved that little scene at the end of the manga arc where he has tea with Ginko and Tanyuu, for instance, and casual interaction in that vein would be great, too. | letter |
| jan | Chihayafuru | Mashima Taichi | I requested Taichi because I do want fic with him in it, but it doesn't have to be Taichi-centric fic! Mizusawa-team fic or Chihaya-Arata-Taichi fic would be great, for instance. (I don't mind whether the Chihaya-Arata-Taichi dynamic is taken as romantic or platonic, but I'd really rather not see any two of them paired up separately, sorry.) If you're happy writing Taichi-focused fic, I'm particularly interested in the weight of his non-karuta obligations. |
letter |
| jan | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | Matoba Seiji, Natori Shuuichi | Exorcist politics, please! Or just some sort of tension-laden interaction. If you've read chapters 75 and 76 of the manga, some sort of backstory fic based on that would be amazing! I also find it interesting how Natori's attitude towards youkai is something of a middle ground between Natsume's and Matoba's; fic dealing with that would be cool, too. I'm not particularly keen on seeing these two seriously paired up, but UST is more than welcome. Please don't pair either of them with Natsume, though. |

| janie_tangerine | Wild Cards - George R. R. Martin | Jay Ackroyd, Neil Langford | Black Shadow, Croyd Crenson | The Sleeper, Billy Ray | Carnifex | Anything focusing on the characters in the list (but really, anyone from those series except a few options will do). Further/optional details and general preferences are covered for all fandoms in the dear yuletide author letter/journal post. :) | letter |
| janie_tangerine | Dark Tower - Stephen King | Eddie Dean, Roland Deschain, Alain Johns | Anything focusing on Roland & Eddie and their relationship or on Alain. | letter |
| janie_tangerine | The Wire | Omar Little, Jimmy McNulty, Randy Wagstaff | I'd die for any kind of fix-it for how Randy's story ended, or about Omar and McNulty having any kind of interaction. | letter |

| janie_tangerine | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman, Mike Ehrmantraut, Skyler White | I'd pay good money for an AU where Mike lives or anything about his and Jesse's relationship, or what Skylar ended up doing after the finale. | letter |
| JanLevine | Points - Melissa Scott & Lisa A. Barnett | Philip Eslingen, Nicolas Rathe | I'd really like to see the missing part where Nicolas Rathe and Philip Eslingen become a couple -- especially if it happens while one or both are working on a case. Anything up to and including NC17 is fine, but I'd prefer emotions and plot as the focus, rather than sex. | letter |
| JanLevine | Modesty Blaise - Peter O'Donnell | Modesty Blaise, Willie Garvin, Stephen Collier, Dinah Collier | I'd love a case-based story with psi elements so that Dinah can use her talents. Anything up to and including NC17 is fine, but no sex between Modesty and Willie, please! | letter |
| JanLevine | The People - Zenna Henderson | What I particularly love about the People stories is the interaction between the Earth-humans and the People-humans. Because they all are human, even if they're different. And I'm a sucker for stories involving psi powers, so I hope there will be some of that. | letter | |
| JanLevine | Emelan - Tamora Pierce | Sandrilene fa Toren, Briar Moss, Trisana Chandler, Daja Kisubo | I loved reading The Will of the Empress, but it seemed to leave so many things open. What happens when one of the quartet gets seriously involved with someone? With Daja in the Empire, the issue was never in doubt, but what if she or one of the others finds the one (or more than one!) right person? Will it cause problems for the other three? I'm actually more interested in story and adventure than romance, but I'm interested in how it will affect all of them. | letter |
| jasmasson | Elvis Cole - Robert Crais | Joe Pike, Elvis Cole | Elvis and Joe: I love Elvis and Joe's relationship. Ideally, I'd LOVE some back story showing how they developed to what they are to each other (whether that be slashly or gen), but anything really exploring/highlighting their closeness would be great. | letter |
| jasmasson | Disorganized Crime (1989) | Carlos Barrios, Nick Bartkowski | Carlos and Nick: Ideally, I'd like something that brings Nick and Carlos together again, post movie. For crime! Or romance! Or just snarking at each other in a bus station, or something. I just love their dynamic. | letter |
| jasmasson | Twin Peaks | Dale Cooper, Harry Truman | Cooper and Truman: Their relationship was one of my favorite parts of the show. I'd love something that focuses on their friendship. Perhaps during the series, or maybe saving Cooper, or some future with a happy ending without focusing on how Coop got out? Fix it if you go post season, pleeeease? | letter |
| jasmasson | Toy Soldiers (1991) | Joey Trotta, Billy Tepper | Billy and Joey: This is the one I'm most keen on slash, but I'm completely happy if it's a friendship fic, too. Ideally I'd like a fic about the time Billy first came to the school, and how he became friends (or more) with Joey. I think Joey would be prickly to become friends with, and perhaps Billy deliberately sets out to make Joey like him even if he doesn't really take to Joey at first, because he's his roomate and it just makes life easier, and then he starts to fall in love with/really like Joey and it becomes a genuine friendship/love. Or anything at school pre-movie, really. If you take it into the movie, I'm not a purist - I don't mind if you stick with or remove the canonical character death. Your call! | letter |
| Jassanja | Sport Horses (Anthropomorphic) | henanigans at a Show Stable. Feel free to include any other show jumping horse you like. (As for dressage, I prefer to stick to Totilas, Damon Hill and Parcival) - Perhaps Big Star stole Nick's Olympic Gold Medal and is now prancing around with it, annoying everybody. (In my mind Big Star is really ADHD) -Depressed!Totilas. He didn't get any Gold Medals in recent times, everybody maes fun of him for getting injured while mating with a wooden mare, and now he's not even the most expensive horse anymore. - Cornet being smug about having behaved so badly, that he's now a breeding stallion only - Silvana being sure she's the most stylish around, just to have Guccio reminding her that he's a Gucci model after all, hence his name. - Damon Hill and Parcival arguing about the pros/cons of LDR (Rollkur, Hyperflexion) |
||
| Jassanja | Equestrian RPF | Steve Guerdat (Equestrian RPF) | I loved how Steve claimed in front of the press how he really has a shitty character, how his father pointed out how he didn't like the press and would see the whole attention as "very amusing for a while" and how his bother claimed that Steve hasn't a girlfriend because he's married to his favorite horse (Jalisca Solier) If you can work something out with that, I'd be over the Moon Slashy stories with Rodrigo Pessoa, Ben Maher, Kevin Staut or Simon Delestre very welcome! |
|
| Jassanja | The Mummy Series | Ardeth Bay, Jonathan Carnahan | I ship those two like crazy. - A cold night in the desert, they have to keep warm and Jonathan is acting like a shy maid - Pretend to be a couple to escape danger (while falling in love) - Jonathan is really drunk and tells Ardeth things he shouldn't - If all else fails: Strip-Poker |
|
| Jassanja | Last Rune Series - Mark Anthony | Beltan of Calavan, Travis Wilder | - What if Beltan just told Travis about his feelings after meeting the dragon? - What if they came to an arrangement way sooner after having that conversation about balls and taking baths in cold rivers? - A cold night during their travels, they have to keep warm - One of is really drunk and tells the other things he shouldn't |
|
| jazzfic | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Phryne Fisher, Jack Robinson, Dorothy "Dot" Williams, Hugh Collins | I adore this show, the banter, the costumes, everything. But I especially love the delicate-as-a-sledgehammer yet quietly simmering tension between Phryne and Jack. Give me anything starring those two, and you will make my yuletide complete. (Bonus points for Phryne scaling a wall or two during a nighttime tussle without getting a single snag in her silk trousers. Or Hugh saying "Dottie") | |
| jazzfic | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, August Corbin | Backstory! The importance of August in Abbie's life, personally and professionally. What did he teach her, what does she miss about him, where did they come from to share those few moments in that diner where Abbie decided to put her life on a different path. Trying to keep up with canon in a show so new is tricky, so feel free to play around as much as you want. Really, I love this show and anything focusing on these two characters will be excellent. | |
| jazzfic | Under The Dome (TV) | Julia Shumway, Dale "Barbie" Barbara | I'd love some filling in the gaps of Julia and Barbie's story. Trust, suspicion, making the best of a weird and dangerous situation. Pink stars an optional extra, of course. | |
| jazzfic | Elementary (TV) | Anything and anything will make me happy, dear writer. Would adore some Joan dealing with Sherlock's particular brand of whirlwind existence...but all the characters are tops and any combination therein will be loved. | ||
| jedibuttercup | The Outback Stars Series - Sandra McDonald | Jodenny Scott, Terry Myell | If you offered this book trilogy - thank you so much! I've never seen any fic for these books, but I found them fascinating. I loved the worldbuilding - the way the Australian mythology interacts with the usual space opera tropes - and the complicated relationships the main characters had with each other. I would love anything you could give me about Jodenny and Myell and their mismatched yet fiercely loving relationship; whether set during their first voyage together, or in their early marriage when their professional lives and personal life were at odds, or during Myell's crazy timeleaping journey, or something set after the series - anything with the pair of them interacting would be fabulous. | letter |
| jedibuttercup | Falling Skies | Tom Mason, John Pope | In the first season of Falling Skies, Tom Mason's main antagonist in the good guy camp was Captain Weaver; but in subsequent seasons they were transformed to BFF, and John Pope took over that opposing role. I find it very interesting how often Pope seems to be the voice of reason now - self-serving reason, but still a valuable voice of caution - but the sentimental drives of Tom and Dan and the rest of their clique are still portrayed as 'right' even when they fly in the face of logic. It makes me wonder what it would take for Pope to be transformed into a BFF for Tom. It seemed like they might almost go there a couple of times in Season 3, particularly when they had to collaborate on something or in that episode where they were lost in the wilderness - but then the antagonism got reinforced again. So, just give me something with them interacting in whatever degree - action or conversation, gen or more, within canon or after it or splitting off from it, you decide - where they have to appreciate something about each other. | letter |
| jedibuttercup | Now You See Me (2013) | Dylan Rhodes, Alma Dray | This is the first movie I can remember seeing for awhile where I was cheering for both sides the whole way, and was not dissatisfied by the resolution. I liked everything about the movie - except for the fact that I wanted to know more, afterward. There are plenty of fic about the Four Horsemen in this fandom, though - so give me something about Dylan and Alma. Something elaborating on what we didn't see between the scenes of the movie, or especially what might happen afterward - I'm hoping for fic of them as a couple, but you can go gen if you prefer, just show me more about these two getting to know each other. | letter |
| jedibuttercup | Bullet to the Head (2012) | Lisa Bonomo, James "Bobo" Bonomo | I'm actually asking for foreground-gen for this movie; I'd love to see something about the father/daughter relationship between Jimmy Bobo and Lisa. He says he didn't raise her, and her mother's out of the picture, so how did they get to know each other? What brought him to her tattoo shop the first time, for a little off-the-books medical help, and how did she react? How does she really feel about what he does for a living, and how does being the daughter of a hitman affect her own sense of identity? Do they get to a point where they're closer, after the events of the movie? Answer any of these questions, or come up with your own; I just have a lot of feels about fathers and daughters, and I want to see an exploration of that with these characters, hopefully trending in a positive direction despite the built-in angst. | letter |
| jedibuttercup | Olympus Has Fallen (2013) | Lynn Jacobs, Ruth McMillan | I'm actually asking for foreground-gen for this movie, too. What I want to see is these two women in positions of power, the head of the Secret Service and the Secretary of Defense, both of whom were caught up in the events of the movie in painful ways, interacting with each other after it's all over. Lynn lost dozens of her people in the attack, and Ruth barely survived it, and yet both of them were pretty much sidelined by the male characters' stories going on in the movie. So bring them front and center for me. Over coffee, or in the course of their professional duties, as friends or just acquaintances bound together by extraordinary circumstance - it's up to you. | letter |

| jedi_penguin | Exiles Saga and Galactic Milieu - Julian May | Severin Remillard | I want a story about Severin. Tempted by Victor as a boy and the only Remillard to participate in Kieran O'Connor's offensive metaconcert, his childhood experiences are different from the rest of the Dynasty. Moreover, he is the only Remillard to divorce, and not just once but three times. He seems to have joined the Rebellion more as a way to piss off his older brothers than from the same convictions that Adrien held. To me, he's the most underutilized character in the books, so I'd love to see a story about him, set at ANY point in any of the books. | letter |
| jedi_penguin | Sarah Jane Adventures | Clyde Langer | Clyde! I love Clyde! Show me MOAR Clyde, especially if he's being heroic or saving the day in some way. Bonus points for him figuring out something that eludes everyone else because he's more than a pretty face (though he is awfully darn pretty). | letter |
| jedi_penguin | Wormwood: A Serialized Mystery (Podcast) | Xander Crowe, Sparrow (Wormwood) | Xander's last thought before dying and his first thought upon resurrection were both of Sparrow. Does he realize this? And if so, how does this change him? I'd love it if you could set this story post-series, but a UST-filled story any time during the series would be great too. | letter |
| jedi_penguin | The Windrose Chronicles - Barbara Hambly | Antryg Windrose, Joanna Sheraton | I'd love an alternate take on that scene from Cedric's house when Antryg and Joanna almost acknowledged the sexual tension between them. I'd be equally happy with a rewrite of that particular scene, the awkward fallout afterwards, or a longer vision of how the fight against Suraklin would have been affected if Antryg had made a different choice that night. Just how important (if at all) to their relationship was it for Joanna and Antryg to be SURE of each other before becoming emotionally involved? | letter |
| jedi_penguin | Teachers (1984) | Carl Rosenberg | o, what happens on Monday? As Rosenberg said, Mondays are never boring, and I expect that the next one would be particularly interesting after the final events of the movie. Please note that you are free to focus on ANY character of the movie, just make sure that Rosenberg makes a cameo at some point in your fic because he's completely adorable and I hate to think of JFK High without him around somewhere. | letter |
| jelazakazone | Eureka | Zane Donovan, Jo Lupo, Douglas Fargo, Holly Marten | Mostly I want a story about Zane Donovan. I love how smart he is and how respectful he is of Jo. I adore the quirky brilliant outsider. I love Fargo too, and how he adores women for being smarter than he is. I love his awkwardness. I would be happy with a gen story about Zane and Fargo too. They were really bonding at the end of S5. | letter |
| jelazakazone | Privates (TV) | Private Keenan, Private White-Bowne, Connie Charles, Private Davies | Mostly I love Private Keenan, but am quite fond of Davies as well. I love the dynamic between Keenan and Nurse Charles. I am happy to see pretty much any story with Keenan and one or more of the other characters listed. Not sure if other characters can appear or not, but that's totally fine too! | letter |
| jelazakazone | Confessions of Dorian Gray | Tobias Matthews, Isadora Rigby (Confessions of Dorian Gray), Dorian Gray (Confessions of Dorian Gray) | I love love love time traveling Dorian. I love his relationship with Tobias. I wanted a Dorian story with more Sherlock Holmes, but it wouldn't let me | letter |
| jelazakazone | Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell | Zachry (Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell), Sonmi~451 (Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell), Robert Frobisher (Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell), Luisa Rey (Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell) | Anything anything anything goes. I love stories about destiny and identity and relationships. | letter |
| Jena Bartley (jenab) | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV), John Diggle (Arrow TV) | I prefer Team Arrow either gen or romantic. Or any combination of these three would be great. I love the snark and banter along with how they keep one another honest and look out for one another. Things I like are unresolved or resolved sexual tension, friends with benefits, first times, competency, developing relationships, hurt/comfort and the quiet moments between people, dancing. |
letter |
| Jena Bartley (jenab) | Chase (TV 2010) | Jimmy Godfrey, Annie Frost | I would prefer Het but Gen is good too. I would love anything for these to from where they go after the show ended to how they first met up to case fic. Or what happens when Annie's luck runs out. Basically, I just want more of them together. | letter |
| Jena Bartley (jenab) | Olympus Has Fallen (2013) | Mike Banning, Benjamin Asher | Throughout the movie I couldn't help thinking there was much more to Mike and Ben beyond Mike being the Secret Service Agent in Charge of protecting Ben. I would love to anything from how they firs meet and grew closer to after the movie and dealing with the repercussions of what happened. | letter |
| Jena Bartley (jenab) | Pan Am | Kate Cameron, Roger Anderson | Het or gen. I love spies in action so I would love to see more of Kate learning to be a spy or her and Anderson on a mission. Or a fix it for the series finale would be lovely where Anderson really wasn't a bad guy. | letter |
| Jena Bartley (jenab) | Secret Circle - L. J. Smith | Cassie Blake, Nick Armstrong | While I love that Cassie and Adam came together at the end of the books I also was strongly shipping Nick/Cassie. I love how Cassie gets to see another side of Nick and how he opens up to her. I would like to see them come together in the future. | |

| Jenett | Follow Me Down (song) - Seanan McGuire | The King Who Is Buried in Winter, The Lady of Springtime | ee the letter, but in particular, I love how relationships change over time, in complicated ways, and cycle back to points, and spread out from them. It's fractal geometry. | letter |
| Jenett | Haunted Ballads - Deborah Grabien | Ringan Laine, Penelope Wintercraft-Hawkes | ee the letter for more, but: I would like to see mentions of both Penelope and Ringan, but really, any characters from the series are totally fun. My favourite of the novels are Famous Flower of Serving Men and Cruel Sister. I also am really fascinated by the larger implications of the setting of Matty Groves. I am totally fine with there not being an explicit ghost story, but an explicit folksong and ghost story plot would be lovely if you wish to write one. I like the way the ghosts are here: mostly abiding echoes of history. |
letter |
| Jenett | The Ten Stupidest Things I've Heard Since Richard III's Remains Were Identified (Blog Post) | Henry VII of England (Ten Stupidest Things), Richard III (Ten Stupidest Things), Tudor Osteologist Spy | My letter talks about how I feel about Richard (which is to say, pro-Richardian, but not rabidly). This is one where I can see all sorts of awesome stories and styles of fic. The Tudor Osteologist Spy bit totally delights me in modern times (Does the spy have an academic mentor? A loved one who is an ardent Richardian?), or something that is entirely in the historical era between Henry and Richard. But I'd also be fine with you going totally other places with this - turning it on its head and coming at is an AU where Henry lost, and his body was just rediscovered, or some other weird set of events. Basically, feel free to go wild. |
letter |
| Jenett | Foyle's War | Samantha Stewart, Paul Milner, Christopher Foyle | ee letter for more details (any of these as a focal point is fine, mentions of all three would be lovely, but don't feel you need to wedge everyone in.) What I love about this series: smart people, being largely competent, but also very human. I love watching Sam grow up and make her own way. I love Paul finding his way back from some really horrible experiences. I love Christopher's sturdiness and commitment to doing the right thing, even when it's amazingly inconvenient. I adore the historical detail. (I really adore the historical detail.) I would love stories that focus on any of the above, or a nice bit of mystery that shows them digging in and finding the truth. Backstory fic or missing scene fic would also be lovely, but since there are new series in progress, I'd rather not have 'what happens after'. |
letter |
| Jenett | Die Zauberflöte | The Magic Flute - Mozart/Schikaneder | Königin der Nacht | Queen of the Night, Sarastro, Pamina | ee the letter for more! The thing I keep coming back to is how the relationships between the Queen of the Night, Sarastro, and Pamina work. What the backstory is, what the future story is, how both the Queen and Sarastro show multiple sides to Pamina (and Tamino) and the audience. While this opera has a lot of fantastical moments, and an awful lot of allegory and mystical allusion dumped over everything, there's also a lot of "people are just plain complicated." in here that I love. There's a interesting post that gets into some of what's in the opera and different takes on it in various performances that you may or may not find sparks some ideas. (I am open to all sorts of interepretations here, as long as they have complexity.) I would also love a story that's about Pamina having agency, sorting out for herself who to listen to, what to trust. (And while I don't really want a "aw, adorable, love story" thing that focuses on Tamino, I'd love something that explains why there's more there than "shining noble rescuer" holding them together.) |
letter |
| JenNova | Seraphina - Rachel Hartman | Seraphina Dombegh, Princess Glisselda, Lucian Kiggs | I came out of this book DESPERATELY wanting these three to become a perfect OT3. I love three-person relationships and I feel that the book built up a perfect platform for this. So basically I'd love a story from Selda's point of view as she cuts through Lucian and Seraphina's guilt and forms an OT3 out of all of them. Include any of the other characters you like, I particularly like Abdo and Lars, but all the other ityasaari fascinate me (and I can quite imagine Selda being fascinated by them too). I love the world as well, so tell me more about that as you go along and I will love you forever. <3 |
letter |
| JenNova | Reckless | Mirrorworld Series - Cornelia Funke | Donnersmarck (Reckless), Jacob Reckless | I love Donnersmarck a lot and want to know EVERYTHING about the adventures he and Jacob have been on. I ship them quite heavily and so I'd love to see Jacob/Donnersmarck as part of a rollicking adventure story, based on a not completely familiar fairytale, and some more immersion in the world Funke created. Pre-books, mostly. |
letter |
| JenNova | Dredd (2012) | Cassandra Anderson, Joseph Dredd | o I watched this movie and fell a bit in love with Anderson. And when I say a bit I mean INCREDIBLY. She fascinates me and pleases me on equal levels - a character that's allowed to kick arse and show some vulnerability - and love the potential of her telepathy. So show me Anderson and Dredd out on an assignment being awesome and taking names with an Anderson PoV. (And here is where I admit I haven't managed to break into the comics. So. Um. References are awesome, obvs, but I may not get them. Knock yourself out if you have them though!) |
|
| JenNova | Chronicles of Isambard Smith - Toby Frost | Suruk the Slayer, Rick Dreckitt, Polly Carveth, Isambard Smith | lightly specific on this in that I'd love a Christmas themed story with all of these characters. Toby himself writes quite excellent Christmas stories so that may be difficult but I challenge you! author, to do your best. Seriously, though, I once promised Messr. Frost that I'd make a fandom for these books if I had to drag people kicking and screaming into so, really, ANYTHING would please me greatly. |
letter |
| JenNova | Eternal Law | Richard Pembroke, Zak Gist | o. I'm in an odd position here in that most of the Zak/Richard on AO3 was written by me (and the other fic is by my fandom bff) so, uh, yeah. Don't think that means I need anything AMAZING and SPECIAL or anything. It's just a tiiiiiiny fandom. So, as you can tell from my 3 fics, I love this pairing and their history. I love the idea of them meeting over and over again with many different names but always, always being drawn to one another - whether that be fighting or sexytimes or just generally Crowley and Aziraphaling their way through the ages. Anything like that? And I'll love you. |
letter |
| JenNova | X-23 (Comic) | Laura Kinney (X-23), Logan (X-23) | For longer than I can count I've wanted to see a story about Laura and Logan trying to navigate a domestic father&daughter relationship. Now, with Avengers Arena, I'd love to see what happens in that relationship when Logan realises what's happened to Laura. Including Remy taking down Logan's parenting skills and bit of Jubilee being a worried friend would please me greatly. |
letter |
| Jenny_Starseed | Endeavour (TV) | Endeavour Morse | I have a weakness for lonely, brilliant detectives and Endeavour is one of my favourites. I think he's a bit of a tragic character in his loneliness, his past and his not-so-great future (there would be more shipping in this fandom if only we didn't know he'd die as an unmarried alcoholic). I love how awkward he is. I love that he's a shameless romantic and that it makes him vulnerable. I like that under all that polite prickliness, he's a decent and good person. What I really crave is Endeavour Hurt/Comfort. Have him hospitalized. Give him a fever. You can beat him up, drowned, hit by a car, kidnapped...you get the idea. Endeavour is also the sort who doesn't seem to ask for help when he needs it, which could push the h/c even further (I don't mind if he gets really sick working on a case and collapses when it ends.) Have Thursday, Debyrn or Strange get protective or angry on his behalf because of what has happened to him. I'm pretty shameless about how ridiculous I'll allow h/c fic to be as long as they push my id-ficcy buttons. If you're not into writing H/C, then I'd love some Thursday and Endeavour friendship fic. I like the mentor/protector role Thursday has taken on in regards to Endeavour. Maybe a missing scene from one of the episodes. Or you can have them doing something on a break or in between cases. Or maybe a scene between Thursday and Morse after the episode Home. Or maybe a scene of them interviewing suspects. I don't mind a bit of unrequited UST between them, particularly if Thursday is the one attracted to Morse. |
letter |
| Jenny_Starseed | Parade's End (TV 2012) | Christopher Tietjens (Parade's End TV 2012) | I'm a big fan of the book but what I like about the film version is that it did away/ignored the horrible ending Ford gave Christopher and Valentine. I love Christopher as a character. He's got a basic human decency about him. He's dutiful, conscientious and he can be quietly stubborn when things go against his code of ethics. He's also a tragic character in that his values are anachronistic to the shifting attitudes during the war and he's slow to adapt, assuming everyone is as decent as him because they're in same class as him. I would love a Christopher centric fic. I would love some Christopher H/C fic. Maybe he contracts the Spanish flu (I would love it if he did), has a mental break down from the PTSD he suffers. He seems like the sort who would hide his injuries if he was injured out of duty and pride. If you don't want to write that, I would love some post-war Valentine/Christopher fic. I'm a big fan of the book but I can't stand the fate Ford gives Christopher and Valentine and the mini-series is comforting in that they chose to end it on a happy note. So a happy-ending fic of what their post-war life looks like when Christopher finally divorces Sylvia. Or if you want to write gen fic, I'm good with missing scenes from the mini-series. Maybe you could a friendship fic between Christopher and MacMaster. Sylvia scheming behind her husband's back. Or maybe you could write a fic where General Campion giving Christopher more of his advice or a fic exploring Christopher's relationship to his brother. |
letter |
| Jenny_Starseed | Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) | George Smiley, Peter Guillam | What I love about the canon is how flawed the characters are and how TTSS centers around themes of loyalty (between loyalty to others and loyalty to your ideals). I like character studies and I like fics where you explore relationships between characters who work as a team in high-stress situations. I've read the whole smiley Trilogy so if you want to incorporate anything from the books, I'd encourage you to. But I'm perfectly fine if you only want to stick to the 2011-movie canon. I like that Peter is gay in the film and it adds a certain secrecy and angst about Peter that is lacking in the books. I prefer gen-fic character study fic. Extra bonus points if you could write a Smiley and Peter friendship fic because I think Peter's loyalty to Smiley is one of the most beautiful things in the books and film. In the books, Peter is willing to sacrifice his career by being loyal to Smiley. I also like Smiley's paternal, quiet and kindly concern for Peter. I'm also interested in Smiley's sense of betrayal when he finds out who the mole is. Or you can write a fic where Smiley is angsting and obsessing over getting the better of Karla. Emotional hurt/comfort between Smiley and Peter would be lovely. And it would be nice if Smiley was quietly accepting of Peter's homosexuality. |
letter |
| Jenny_Starseed | Lewis (TV) | James Hathaway, Robert Lewis (Lewis) | Lewis is my comfort tv. The scenery is nice, the mysteries are well plotted and unpredictable, the bad guys are always caught and the gentle banter between Lewis and Hathaway always makes me smile. I love how earnest Lewis is and his simple easy-going goodness. I also like Hathaway's sense of humour. I would prefer gen fic for this fandom and/or canon compliant ships. So Lewis/Hobson is absolutely welcome. I would love a friendship fic with Lewis and Hathaway. What do they do after they leave the Oxford Police? What does one of their pub nights look like? One of my favourite scenes in Lewis is when Hathaway and Lewis go to Hobson's birthday party and they absolutely loathe it. I liked how Hathaway's snarky humour comes out when he's a bit drunk, referring to the romantic poets as the boys in the band to a humourless professor they meet while escaping the party in the episode "And the Moonbeams Touch the Sea." If you feel up to it, you can also write a fic where Lewis talks about Morse to Hathaway. I don't remember if they ever talked about Morse on the show, so I wouldn't mind a fic about that. |
letter |
| Jenn_Calaelen | Darkborn Trilogy - Alison Sinclair | Anything! I love the characters and the worldbuilding. There is so much potential for stories - it would be very interesting to see what happens to the world afterwards, and how any of the characters react. Or backstory. Anything :) For some prompts (if you want them): What happens when Floria and Telmaine talk after the end of their part of the books? How does Telmaine tell her children about her magic? How do the four of them move forward? What happened when the curse struck? First Darkborn and Lightborn cooperation to built the city. |
letter | |
| Jenn_Calaelen | The Deed of Paksenarrion - Elizabeth Moon | Anything really - I love the world building here with all its complexity and all the characters. I love the added depth from the new books (although less keen to read more about the Elves) - I have read them all. I haven't selected characters as I would be very happy to read about any of the nommed (or not-nommed) characters, or original characters. If you want to write worldbuilding, exploring a different part of history or the world, go for it! Various vague prompts (in case you want some - if you already have an idea, I am sure I like to read it :) ), I've grouped the characters for this to try and keep frm too much repetition: Paksennarion's adventures - possible those referenced in the newest books or something later; or more about her time in Fintha. Marshal-General Arianya - how did she come to be Marshal-General or speculation on where she is taking the Fellowship of Gird. Aesil Mdierra, Dorrin Verrakai, Jandalir Arcolin, Kolya Ministierra: backstory here would be fun - filling in more about the Duke's Company - or future with any of them trying to adapt to the changes occurring in the books. Gweno Marrakai, Juris Marrakai: I really like seeing the characters grow up over the books - something about facing a challenge and how they cope would be wonderful. Or backstory, or where you see them in X years time. |
letter | |
| Jenn_Calaelen | Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell | I really enjoyed this book, in part because Cath is so easy to empathise with. I love the interaction between her fiction and her world, and all the quotes and glimpses into the world of Simon Snow. It is hard to come up with any specific prompts here, because really I just want more of any of the characters. However, here are some vague prompts in case you want them: More of Penelope and Agatha - what are their roles in the Simon Snow books? What is their life like? What do they think of Simon's quest? Simon and Baz: either in canon or Cath's stories - or interacting with Cath's world. 'Real' characters: What happens in their second year of university - do Cath and Wren remain close again? Does Cath remain in Simon Snow fandom or fall into new fandoms?; Or anything from the perspective of any of the other characters - what do they make of events?; What happens when Cath meets Levi's family?; Does Cath go on to take more writing classes - does Professor Piper mentor her further? Really anything :) |
letter | |
| Jenn_Calaelen | All's Well That Ends Well - Shakespeare | Helena (All's Well) | I saw this play over the summer and loved Helena - she is such a strong character and I really like the way she goes after what she wants in life (although her goals aren't necessarily the best). I would love a story about her that shows her strengths. Vague ideas: 1) Facing the future - she has won and got her happy ending - what happens next? Does she settle down to married life or want further adventures? Is she happy? 2) What if she had picked a different goal or reward? Could she have made a career out of medicine despite the times? 3) What is she thinking during any of the scenes? Is she as confident and certain as she seems? Really anything about Helena. |
letter |
| Jenn_Calaelen | Sharing Knife - Lois McMaster Bujold | Sumac Redwing | I requested Sumac because she is a very interesting character - I would love to see a story exploring her past or future. The books give hints and ideas about what has brought her to where she is and where she is going, but it would be interesting to see more. However, if you have an idea for a story about other characters (nommed or not) or original characters - go for it! I love the setting and the worldbuilding - anything exploring either further would be great. For some specific prompts: How does she get on settling at Clearcreek, especially as it is clear that it is Berry's house to start with? What does she say to her family on returning to Hickory Lake (with or without Arkady there) It is hinted that there are more sorrows in her past What is it like growing up in a Lakewalker camp? |
letter |
| jessalae | Orange is the New Black | Janae Watson | I loved the bits of backstory we got for Watson in "Blood Donut” (1x07), and I want more! What else was going on during her childhood, besides running faster than the boys? How did her misadventures with Donte make her feel, right up until they went wrong? I'd also love to read about her experience in prison, since we don't see as much of her on the show. Feel free to ship her with anyone you'd like. No Christmas/holiday-themed fic, please. | letter |
| jessalae | Ready Player One - Ernest Cline | Aech | Helen Harris | I'd love something about Aech's life and background beyond what we got in the book. How did she come up with/adapt to playing her OASIS persona? What has her real life been like, living on her own in her RV? What did the Hunt look like from her perspective? What would she have done with the money if she'd won? Feel free to ship her with any female character you like (possibly Art3mis?). No Christmas/holiday-themed fic, please. | letter |
| jessalae | Elementary (TV) | Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary) | The Irene Adler/Moriarty reveal in Elementary was straight up one of my favorite twists I've ever seen on TV. To that end, I'd love fic about her that has intrigue! Mystery! False leads and twist endings! What were some of her earlier schemes? Have any of them gone horribly wrong? What other identities has she adopted to suit her own ends? Feel free to ship her with anyone you'd like. No Christmas/holiday-themed fic, please. | letter |
| jessalae | Romeo And Juliet - Shakespeare | Mercutio, Tybalt (Romeo and Juliet) | I really love all the supporting characters in R&J, especially these two! I'd love to see more about them, either backstory (what was their first encounter like? Did they get together on a regular basis just for the purpose of insulting each other?) or post-play (in some sort of afterlife — maybe navigating together through the circles of Hell, or hanging out and being really snarky in Heaven?). Slash is definitely, definitely welcome. No Christmas/holiday-themed fic, please. | letter |
| jessalae | Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) | Ethan Hunt (Ghost Protocol), William Brandt | This movie was so much fun in the best ridiculous-action-movie way possible, and these guys have such interesting tension. I'd love either slash or friendship/bromance/fic about their continuing adventures. How does Brandt adjust to being officially back in the field? Does their history have lingering repercussions on their relationship? What crazy mission are they going to end up on next? No Christmas/holiday-themed fic, please. | letter |
| jessalae | Heard on the Subway: Talking About Your Gay Son (blog post) | Patrick Jr. (Talking About Your Gay Son), John (Talking About Your Gay Son) | This post is SO CUTE, and just gives me hope for the future of gay kids and their parents. I'd love a story about these two boys, either slash (maybe they do end up together!) or friendship (maybe they try dating and it doesn't work out, or they know from get-go they're not interested but bond over growing up gay in their particular neighborhood). If you want to do something about their relationships with their respective fathers, that would be great too. Basically I just want adorable fluff for this fandom. No Christmas/holiday-themed fic, please. | letter |
| JessBakesCakes | Cheers (TV) | Sam Malone, Diane Chambers | I'd love something post-series. I don't care if Sam and Diane are romantically involved; I'll let you write that based on your perception of the two of them. I also don't care how post-series it is. I just... there's something about the series finale that left me unsatisfied. So, a post-series meeting between the two of them. I'd love to see it portrayed as something that will happen again, or maybe they've met up every now and then for years. | letter |
| JessBakesCakes | Boston Teens - SNL Sketch | Pat "Sully" Sullivan, Denise "Zazu" McDonough | In an ideal world, I'd love a Sully/Denise fic that takes place through the time period in which the Boston Red Sox win the World Series in 2004. Sully and Denise's last two appearances on SNL were in early 2004, before the World Series was even a thought, and in 2011, when they made no mention of it! Anyway, I'd just love to see that playoff period in October. So if you have no idea about anything related to this canon, or to the Boston Red Sox in 2004, this one needs some background. Links included in my DYW letter. | letter |
| JessBakesCakes | Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV) | Jake Peralta, Amy Santiago | I would love to see them outside of the police work. What would happen if they started dating? How would that affect the rest of the unit? What would happen if they were friends who got in a big argument and the rest of the precinct was forced to choose sides? There could be shenanigans. | letter |
| JessBakesCakes | Sleepwalk With Me (2012) | Matt Pandamiglio, Abby (Sleepwalk With Me) | I need to see Matt and Abby post-breakup, because they're just so stinking precious. Do they still get along? What would happen if they met up randomly one day? It's obvious that they care about each other in a way that is somewhat platonic, but there's this piece of them that will always remain with the other. What if they went on a double date with their new significant others? I see these two being friends after it's all said and done. | letter |
| jessikast | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | I would love a story from the POV of someone other than October - Quentin, May or Raj would be fun. I enjoy "A Day In the Life" kind of stories, although if you have it in you for a full-on plotty mystery, go for it! I also totally swoon over October and Tybalt together, so if you wanted a romantic or hot story about them, I would TOTALLY read it :-) |
||
| jessikast | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | I really enjoy the "Ichabod discovers modern stuff and is puzzled and/or amused and/or horrified, but also he isn't stupid" kind of stories. I think Abbie is sweet and competent and I love the way the show has her showing Ichabod stuff while also respecting him. It might be fun to have something where Ichabod would have a chance to shine - a case relying on Civil War history or REALLY ACCURATE cosplay kind of thing? If you wanted to write Ichabod/Abbie I would also be all over that. Yum. I could also get behind some kind of horror along the lines of what the show has had so far, AS LONG AS THERE'S A HAPPY ENDING. |
|
| jessikast | Mary Russell - Laurie R. King | Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes (Mary Russell) | This is one of my favourite series. The Beekeeper's Apprentice is possibly one of my most re-read books. Mary is just one of my all-time top heroines, and I love her relationship with Holmes. Unfortunately, I've felt the last few novels are lacking something. (Pirate King was lacking...a lot.) I've missed seeing Mary and Sherlock as a TEAM. They're married! They should be awesome together! Instead, in the last few novels there's been a lot of them working separately. I'd love to see a fic with them playing off each other, making the best use of their respective skills. Alternatively, a wee domestic scene - not saccharine, but something that shows what life's like if they get some time at home. A day-in-the-life fic would be fun, or one through the eyes of who doesn't know Mary and Sherlock. If you want to do just Mary by herself, I wouldn't mind a fic set when she's a teenager or at university - investigating things all by her self. |
|
| jessikast | Lost Girl | Bo (Lost Girl), Kenzi (Lost Girl), Dyson (Lost Girl), Trick (Lost Girl) | This show has things I love: People being competent and smart! Women being besties! Family, both found and created! Gorgeous bisexual succubus, shown having awesome relationships with people of both genders! It probably says something that I realised that this show would work for me when, in the pilot, Bo just killed the dude at the test instead of having some kind of moral qualm about it. I really enjoy the relationships Kenzie has with people apart from Bo - the Kenzie-Dyson friendship is adorable. I also like it when Dyson gets kind of stoned. ADORABLE. HOT. ADORABLY HOT. I think this is a fandom where you could easily use any of the usual cliches, which kind of enjoy. (Accidental telepathy, soul bonds, genderswap, wingfic, there is a puppy! etc.) I'd enjoy a Bo-Kenzie friendship story; or a Bo/Dyson story because the show makes them very, very attractive together. I also like the Bo-Trick relationship developing. |
|
| Jetamors | Twilight Gangsters (Key & Peele) | Red Gangster, Blue Gangster | (If you haven't seen the sketch, you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leL_bsHEZdM ) I thought this sketch was hilarious, and I'd love to see more of the characters and their fandoms. What do they think of the Twilight movies? Do they go to fan conventions? Did they lie 50 Shades of Gray? (Did they read it when it was on FFN?) What happens when they ship different pairings in the Hunger Games, or Star Trek? You can ship the gangsters together or not; I'll be happy either way. No smut, please, unless it's in the context of the characters reading/writing terrible fanfiction. |
|
| Jetamors | Almost Human | Dorian (Almost Human) | No smut, please! Okay, so I know this isn't exactly out yet, but I love robots, and I enjoyed the pilot, so I'm asking for it! Anything about Dorian would be great: what it's like being a robot, what it's like being a robot in his society, his history before he joined the police, what he thinks about his life, humans, Kennex, etc., I'd love anything like that. If you want to draw back a bit and write a general story about robots in the Almost Human universe, that would be fine too. Don't feel like you have to write issuefic, either; I do like angst, but something lighthearted, or a day in the life-type fic would work just as well for me :D Any kind of pairing (het, slash, femslash) or none is fine. |
|
| Jetamors | Ni no Kuni | Shadar (Ni no Kuni), Alicia (Ni no Kuni) | No smut, please! I really loved the story of Shadar and Alicia, and I'd really like more of them. Maybe they're reborn and remember their previous lives, maybe a fic about the circumstances under which they first meet, or just good old-fashioned angst where they think about trying to save each other. I'd prefer het for this (uh, with neither of them being children or related to each other), but gen would be wonderful too. |
|
| Jetamors | Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward | No smut, please! I think for this game, what I want most are AUs! Maybe they all work at/attend the same high school, maybe they're all workers or customers at a coffee ship, maybe they get caught in another locked room-type situation (ski lodge during a snow storm, quarantine shelter in 2030, etc.). Or if you've got another idea, I'd love to see it! Bonus points if you can keep some of the canon backgrounds, like Dio being a Myrmidon and Luna being a robot :D If your imagination doesn't take you in that direction, I'd like to see some of what happens in the post-series timeline where Sigma doesn't stop the virus. I don't particularly want any pairings for this, but I don't mind if you throw any in, as long as they don't involve Quark. |

| JJ_Shinnick | Deathless - Catherynne M. Valente | Koschei (Deathless) | Alternate universe Koschei. Author's choice when/where/how he exists, but I'm curious what he'd be like in a different context. | |
| JJ_Shinnick | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary) | Joan in medical school/college. | |
| Joanne_c | Rock of Ages (2012) | Stacee Jaxx, Drew Boley, Sherrie Christian, Patricia Whitmore | This movie is all kinds of amazing, ridiculous fun. I loved all of the characters, and I would love to see any kind of story for this movie. The main thing I loved was how very important the music was to the characters. I would love inclusion of characters not nominated such as Constance, Dennis and Lonny if you were so inclined, but it's fine for them not to be - just wanted to say I would be fine seeing them. I like het, (fem)slash, poly and gen, and have one request - please don't break up any of the canon pairings. They can have an open relationship or an understanding or whatever you like if you're pairing up characters outside of their canon relationships - and I'm more than open to an OT3 or OT4 with any of the nominated characters. I don't need any shippy fic to have explicit sex, but if you're open to writing it, please feel free to include it. |
letter |
| Joanne_c | The Lion in Winter RPF | Timothy Dalton (Lion in Winter RPF) Anthony Hopkins (Lion in Winter RPF) Peter O'Toole (Lion in Winter RPF) | I would love just about anything here. Slash or gen fun with all three guys, or even just two of them. Maybe Anthony and Timothy finding that onscreen, if discreet, feelings are making their way offscreen? Or Peter and Katharine Hepburn observing them and maybe pushing them together a little? Or one of the guys having a long term and secret crush on Katharine? Anything would be wonderful. | letter |
| Joanne_c | Mamma Mia! (2008) | Harry Bright, Petros (Mamma Mia) | Well, if we match on this one, I'm going to presume that you ship these two as well, but I would be happy with gen and their relationship as background. I would love just about anything about Harry, really. His background, coming to terms with a younger lover, maybe his relationship with Petros is more serious than others have been? I'd love something like him not being able to get it up and Petros not minding - maybe they could do other things, or cuddle, or whatever you can come up with. Sex is good but don't feel you have to include it. Feel free to use ABBA songs or references, and if you'd like to include any of the other movie characters, please do! |
letter |
| Joanne_c | Magic Mike (2012) | Mike (Magic Mike), Ken (Magic Mike), Adam (Magic Mike), Big Dick Richie | I loved this movie and the characters in it. I would love just about any kind of story you can come up with about any of these four guys. I would prefer any romantic storylines to involve only these four (or if you are so inclined, Dallas is welcome as well, or paired with one of these four). I'm more than happy with a gen story - I'd love backstory for any of them except maybe Adam, who I'd be more interested in seeing what happened after the movie than before. Also feel free to include Ken's wife as part of his story, but I'd prefer that it not be focused on their relationship. Slash is good - any combination of these four or, as I said, including Dallas if you would like to. Doesn't have to be explicit but I'm all for some nice sexy scenes if you enjoy writing them. Extrapolation of any of the themes of the movie is also good. |
letter |
| Joanne_c | Revenge (TV) | Nolan Ross, Emily Thorne, Jack Porter | I would love something not focused on Emily's revenge. Whether it's a moment or a few hours out of time for them, or something about Nolan and Jack doing something together while Emily is working on something to do with her revenge, that would be wonderful. I am more than open to shippy fic with two caveats. I would prefer not to receive Emily/Nolan or Emily/Jack fic. I am more than open to OT3 with them, or Nolan/Jack, but I don't generally ship Emily with Nolan or Jack alone, so would prefer not to receive that. I am more than fine with gen interaction between the three, though, and shipping is not at all necessary if you are not inclined that way. If you do ship, I'm fine with romance without sex, but if you would like to include sex scenes, that is all good, and I would not mind if there were individual couple scenes in an OT3 fic as well. |
letter |
| Joanne_c | The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) | Gwen Stacy (The Amazing Spider-man 2012), Curt Connors (The Amazing Spider-man 2012), George Stacy (The Amazing Spider-man 2012) | I loved these characters very much and would love to read anything about them. A pre-movie story with Gwen and Doctor Connors, perhaps how he chose her to work with him? Father/daughter bonding for Gwen and Captain Stacy? Gwen having an unrequited crush on Doctor Connors? Out there, but perhaps Doctor Connors and Captain Stacy knowing each other from before? An AU where Captain Stacy doesn't die? I'm fine with shipping here, as well. Be it slash with Captain Stacy and Doctor Connors, het with Gwen and Doctor Connors, even incest with Gwen and her father. If you're willing to go very wild? I would even enjoy a threesome. But shipping is not necessary, just that I am fine with it if you are inspired. Oh and it's fine to include Peter as well, in any capacity. |

| jonesandashes | Bourne Legacy (2012) | Eric Byer, Aaron Cross, Marta Shearing | Okay so one of my most favourite things about the Bourne franchise is how the bad guys are backed by this big, deep, secret bureaucracy. Our heroes are running from assassins, but also from a bunch of people working behind desks, wearing heels and ties and security passes. I loved how a side-effect (or... LEGACY, IF YOU WILL) of Jason Bourne's first three movies is that now when things start to look iffy, instead of a half dozen techies in a back room we get ERIC BYER, who walks in completely prepared to burn everything to the ground, just in case. And they're bad guys, but the kind that are just doing their jobs, you know? Basically, I'd love some form of Marta and Aaron on the run, with this giant bureaucratic nightmare chasing them in the background. Adventure! Temporary, suspicious truces with Byer forged by circumstance to stay alive! Quiet moments getting to know one another on the road! Science! Paperwork! Oh the possibilities. |
letter |
| jonesandashes | My Mad Fat Diary | Archie (My Mad Fat Diary), Rae Earl, Finn Nelson | What I would really love to see is just Archie and Rae being best friends. The little snippets we see of their relationship is one of my favourite parts of the show - they just seem so genuinely FOND of each other, and it warms my heart. I am on board with Rae/Finn, but honestly I mostly only like them because Finn makes Rae so happy? My true OTP for this show is Rae/happiness. (And, of course, Rae-and-Archie: best friends.) So follow your heart with how much you include of their relationship, although I would sort of prefer if it was not the main focus. Likewise with the rest of the characters: I love everybody, so even though they're not listed here feel free to include whomever you want to write about. |
|
| jonesandashes | The Fugitive (1993) | Noah Newman, Cosmo Renfro, Samuel Gerard | I don't even know what to write here for this one. Team US Marshal shenanigans, I guess? I don't really ship anybody in this movie (although again, follow your heart), but I loved how well-oiled Sam's little team was. Also I am TOTALLY COOL with alternate universes where Noah Newman does not get shot down later, or does and survives. Totally, totally cool. | |
| jonesandashes | The World's End (2013) | Gary King, Andrew Knightley | I would love to see more of Gary and Andrew's post-apocalypse relationship. I was a little puzzled by the ending of the movie; Gary getting to relive his glory years with literal teenaged versions of his childhood friends was not as satisfying as actually MOVING ON would have been. He admitted to his problems, but that's not the same as actually dealing with them. So I'd love to see post-apocalypse shenanigans with Gary and Andrew, but with a side of personal growth. I don't particularly ship them (wow, I do have a theme, don't I), but I don't NOT ship them, either, so whatever works for you. And appearances from the rest of the characters are always welcome. |
|
| Josie | World Quest - NEWS (music video) | Tegoshi Yuya (World Quest), Masuda Takahisa (World Quest), Koyama Keiichiro (World Quest), Kato Shigeaki (World Quest) | I'd really love something that is purely based on this PV, with the members as the characters they appear as in the PV and without using prior knowledge of the group... Including (if you would like, I don't mind real names either) giving the characters their own names. Of course it might be hard if you know the group well, but try and focus on the personality traits shown in the PV rather than their real ones. | letter |
| Josie | Sexy Zone | Kikuchi Fuma, Nakajima Kento, Sato Shori, Marius Yo | I love these guys as a group (by the way, although I had to miss Sou out when I nominated, if you feel like you are able to write him, it's not that I don't want him there!!), and I'd love to put them in a situation where they are all on their own together for whatever reason (got lost? sent to the middle of nowhere for TV? end of the world?), and something that shows their awesome personalities and their relationship as a group. | letter |
| Josie | Sunao ni Narenakute | Hard to Say I Love You | Nakajima Keisuke "Nakaji", Ichihara Kaoru "Linda" | While everyone else was wondering when Nakaji and Haru were going to get together, I was wondering when Nakaji was going to figure out that Linda was in love with him and decide he was the better option! So I'd love something written about their relationship, preferably something that doesn't result in anyone dying (since it took me three weeks to work up to watching that episode, I don't really want to go through it again!). | letter |
| Josie | Son of Rambow (2007) | Will Proudfoot, Lee Carter | I can't get enough of those boys and their silliness. ♥ I'd love something set after the movie, but not very far into the future. I really like their interactions as kids so I don't want to see them grow up just yet. I'd love them to have another silly adventure, with all the fun and craziness that goes with it but I also love their arguments and their angst and those cute little fluffy moments they have because they're such awesome friends. I wish I could say more, but seriously just give me these boys and their amazingness and I'll be happy. ♥ | letter |
| Josie | Cowboy Bebop | Grencia Eckener, Vicious (Cowboy Bebop) | These characters had way too much storyline to fit into two episodes, and so I'd love fic that explores their past a little more, especially their time at war together, snippits of their time together, and how it ended, anything is good so long as it's based during this time. I'd really like it to be more Gren-centric but based on their relationship. | letter |
| Jougetsu | Blackadder | Edmund Blackadder | I love all the incarnations of Blackadder from goofy Prince Edmund to sharply cynical Captain Edmund of the trenches. The banter between Blackadder and his group of acquaintances, the cunning plans, the creeping sense of doom, all of these things are dearly loved about the source material but don't feel pressured to replicate the show's writing. Anything you want to write would be loved! Come up with your own cunning plan for Blackadder and his crew to enact, an internal monologue of Captain Edmund in the trenches, Queenie's silly pranks and whims, whatever strikes your fancy go for it! Gen or canon ships are great, but slash would be dearly loved for the pairings of Edmund I/Percy, Edmund II/Lord Percy, Edmund II/Lord Flashheart, Edmund III/Prince George, or Edmund IV/Kevin Darling (absolute favorite!). You could also do Lieutenant George/General Melchett slash if that appeals. I love Baldrick to pieces, but I'm not really into shipping him with any of the mains, though feel free to write the love story of a Baldrick and a Mrs. Baldrick-to-be. |
letter |
| Jougetsu | Murdoch Mysteries | George Crabtree | I love the whole cast of this series, but Crabtree is my absolute favorite. He's earnest, open-minded, and adventurous. I've seen seasons 1-5, but not 6 and I'm not familiar with the book canon. Feel free to set your story pre-canon, any season, or an AU, whatever you like! As much as I like Emily Grace I don't think she and George would suit each other romantically in the long run, I do like them as friends palling around and solving mysteries. I'd prefer to see George shipped with another character or an OC, preferably a male character because there is so little slash for this fandom and considering his man-crushes I think it'd be sweet. I really loved his dynamic with Jimmy McLeod the First Nations tracker from S2E12 in particular, but that's such a minor character that I don't expect you to do anything with him so feel free to use another character or OC. If you're not up to Crabtree m/m slash, I'd love to see a gen ensemble piece with the gang as long as the focus is on Crabtree. I do ship Murdoch/Ogden and the Brackenreids, so feel free to include them in the background. |
letter |
| Jougetsu | The Venture Bros | Anything in the fantastic wacky world of the Venture Brothers would be gold! I love the whole cast and their crazy adventures. My only real request is I would prefer fic focusing on the Venture family and their allies. A lot of great fic has already been written about their enemies and especially the Mr. & Mrs. The Monarch. I've seen all the episodes including the specials, so feel free to incorporate any of the newer characters or revelations. Feel free to set a story in any season — feel free to canon diverge and go AU if you've got a fun idea! I do really like the new direction and twists we've gotten in the fifth season so major bonus points if you expand on those. |
letter | |
| Jougetsu | Persuasion - Jane Austen | Anne Elliot, Frederick Wentworth | Persuasion makes my heart ache in all the best ways. I love the maturity and subtlety of the novel. It's a novel of second chances and learning from one's past. If you're not up for re-reading the novel both the 1995 film and the 1997 TV film are excellent adaptations that are readily available. Anything you write would be loved! Maybe a look into their first-time courting? Or how Anne and Lady Russell coped with the death of Lady Elliot? A missing scene from the novel or Wentworth's POV of an event? You could also genswap one or both characters. How about the dashing female Captain Wentworth and a shy Elliot son? How would a same-sex (either m/m or f/f) courtship play out between these two? You could also explore the dynamic between the Elliot sisters, did Elizabeth and Anne bond at all during their scant years at boarding school? Has Mary always been demanding of attention or did it get worse over the years? What does the future hold for Anne and Captain Wentworth? Feel free to include as many characters from the novel or from other Austen novels as you like as long as the focus is either on Anne, Wentworth, or their relationship. |
letter |
| Jougetsu | Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | Akemi Homura, Kaname Madoka, Sakura Kyouko, Tomoe Mami | Madoka was a series that took a lot of twists and turns and opened up a ton of story possibilities considering Homura's magic power and the series' ending. Don't feel confined by using just the requested characters - any of the witches or magical girls including Madoka or the 'historical' magical girls would be interesting to read about! Some other things you could explore: who or what is Walpurga/Walpurgisnacht and what do non-magical people experience of it? What about Kyuubey's race? Are they acting together or are the ones on Earth rogue agents? Have fun and explore the magica universe as it pleases you! For this fandom I really enjoy the different alternate pasts, presents, and futures that were implied by the series. Friendships and rivalries between the magical girls (and witches) of the series are also something you could explore if you didn't want to write something really plotty. Femslash is more than okay, but I would prefer nothing explicit unless the characters were aged up to at least sixteen. Gen stories are also great. There aren't really that many male characters in the cast, so het seems rather moot. IF you want to go the pairing route I enjoy Homura x Madoka, Kyouko x Sayaka, and Kyouko x Mami best, though Mami x Madoka is also appreciated. This is a universe where tragedy is pretty prevalent so if you want to go that route it's okay even though my regular preference is for more upbeat stories. |

| jouissant | Saga (Comics) | I really just desperately want more Saga fic, so I will love anything you come up with. I feel like there's so much depth in every panel of the canon, so you could literally go anywhere with this. I'd love world-building for any aspect of the universe, a story dealing with any of the characters' backstory, a Freelance job "mission"-fic from Lying Cat's POV, whatever. See my letter for some more specific, character-centric ideas, but seriously, go wild and write your dream Saga fic and I will be happy. | letter | |
| jouissant | The Snow Child - Eowyn Ivey | The magical, fairytale quality of this book sucked me in from the very beginning. I loved the idea of frontier Alaska as this kind of fairyland ideal for Mabel that Jack just kind of went along with, almost to his own undoing. Of course, I'm fascinated by Faina and her backstory, and I love that we didn't ever really get a clear explanation for her in canon, which just leaves such rich territory to play with. I also adored the cozy domestic scenes in which Esther and George get Jack and Mabel to come out of their shells a bit, as well as the details of homesteading life. If you'd like to explore how their family dynamics work with Garrett and his and Faina's son in the future, that would be great too. I'd just love more of this world and these characters. |
letter | |
| jouissant | The Bone Key - Sarah Monette | Kyle Murchison Booth | bsolutely love the tone of these stories- something that's close to canon in feel (if not necessarily in writing style) would be amazing here. I like the way a typical day for Booth will often spin out into something utterly weird and creepy, whether via his work at the museum or just by virtue of his life, so a slice-of-life story set firmly in the canon universe could be a lot of fun. I like Booth's erstwhile friendship with Miss Coburn a lot, and I appreciate her efforts to draw him out, so if you would like to include her please do. Tell me a ghost story, or tell me more about the museum, or tell me more about Booth's life and the rough edges that seem to alternately hamper his efforts to fit in and collect Lovecraftian dustbunnies. I think fake historical documents and ephemera are really cool, and that's something I think you could bring in to good effect in this canon if you felt inclined. |
letter |
| jouissant | The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller | Patroclus (Song of Achilles) | I loved Patroclus in this book, and the way Miller gradually brings him into his own, until no one else could possibly be the best of the Myrmidons. It makes the ending all the more heartbreaking. I'd love to see more of Patroclus on his own terms- maybe with Achilles at Chiron's cave when they're younger or in the medical tent at the camp at Troy. I also adored Briseis and his friendship with her, so something exploring that would also be lovely. AND/OR: This book was really good for me in terms of "I thought I'd lost you forever" reunions, so if you'd like to go crazy with that and forge ahead where Miller fades to black, I'd be totally down. Give me all the feverish teenage demigod porn! |
letter |
| jouissant | Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls - Anton DiSclafani | Theodora Atwell, Leona (Yonahlossee) | o yeah, I loved this book a lot, mostly for the relationships between all the girls and between Thea and Leona in particular. I loved Leona's mysteriousness, the girls' somewhat tumultuous relationship, their rivals-to-friends-to ?? evolution, their bonding over riding and horses as kind of a touchstone for both of them throughout the story. I'd love anything exploring that more, whether you want to go in a shippy direction (I totally ship it) or stay platonic. I was not a huge fan of Thea/Mr. Holmes, but if you wanted to use their relationship as a catalyst for something between Leona and Thea I'd be on board. | letter |

Fuck or Die, Sex Pollen, spontaneous orgy, The Plot Bunnies Make Them Do It, looking for 'inspiration' for a sex scene... s'all good.

| Juanita_Rainbow | Jewish Scripture & Legend | Yehudit | Judith | If you don't want to write sex for the other requests this might be a good one to pick up - The Book of Judith is available online for free and is very short! I know, I know, 'anything!' is a terrible prompt,but I mean anything! Well, actually I'd mostly like something cleanish and with Yehudit being badass. What might she do after the story we get now she's proved herself? |
letter |
| Juanita_Rainbow | Marvel Avengers Movies RPF | Mark Ruffalo (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF) | Ruffalo is adorable. He needs to get laid more. Possibly in a gigantic puppy-pile with the rest of the cast. I really liked that fic where the characters were possessing their actors too - weird stuff like that is totally okay - like, how would _Ruffalo_ (rather than Banner) react if he started turning into the Hulk? (bonus points: maybe they have to make him come to calm him down enough to change back?) | letter |

Would love to see 'how the hell do they get together' / seduction as well as the sexing if you're up for it!Does Assange offer sexual favours to change the US position? Does Clinton keep him tied up in her basement to stop him causing any more trouble? Inquiring minds want to know! | letter |
| jublelion | History Boys - Bennett | David Posner (History Boys - Bennett), Donald Scripps (History Boys - Bennett) | o, Posner/Scripps. It's just so good! I like pining, and best friends, and adorable cuddly domesticity. I like angst about sexuality, and if my boys could sit down and discuss G-d or religion that would be cool, but not at all required, although in keeping with their characters. I lovelovelove poetry and plays and references to terribly romantic old movies, and nostalgia for the past. I'm happy if it's pretty tame, although feel free to go super raunchy if that's where the mood strikes you. Please, no date rape descriptions/details, although dark themes is okay. Like, it happened, and that's that, but not going into detail about tears and pain, etc. But mostly kind of sweet? I see them mostly as sweet and domestic. Go crazy for the holidays! -Jublelion |

| jublelion | Shameless (US) | Mickey Milkovich, Ian Gallagher | Oh Mickey and Ian. Was there ever a relationship as deeply fucked up as this one? I love best friends, social/internalized homophobia, bad-asses who are secret softies and secret love. Here are some suggestions/prompts which might be useful: 5 times fic: 5 times Mickey didn't hate Ian, 5 times they hung out and it was wonderful, 5 times Ian knew he loved Mickey, etc. Why does Mickey seem to change when he gets out of juvie (pt 2)? WHat happened? What does Ian see in Mickey? Does he come back for Mickey? Reunions? How (if at all) does the fact that they've clearly had other partners (Angie, Jimmy's dad) affect their sex life? Caveat: The scene with the Russian: UPSETTING. It happened, it affects them, fine, (well, not, but you know what I mean), but I'd really rather that there weren't descriptions of graphic non-con. If something upsets one of them, and they talk it out, that's okay, but no tears and scared sex. exchange sex is also icky, but I'll deal. You're the best ever! Happy Yuletide! -Jublelion |
letter |
| jublelion | Shelter (2007) | Shaun (Shelter), Zach (Shelter), Cody (Shelter) | I honestly have nothing. I just want it.

| jublelion | Kings | Joseph Lasile, Jack Benjamin | o, Kings is great. It has some of my favorite tropes: forbidden love, homophobia, religion, drug/alcohol use/abuse, secret meetings, thinking no one else knows. Here are some ideas. I'd love some Jack/Joseph fic that's maybe about them meeting, and falling in love. Jack says he loves Joseph, but we don't see that until blackout, and then barely even. So, does he? How? How does Joseph know? How did Silas find out about Jack and his "boys?" Want to talk about a deliciously and deeply upsetting scene, that one takes the cake. What if Jack had said fuck-it? What if Jack's mother had never seen the tape? I'm happy to get as raunchy as you like, or tame as you like. My one caveat is to be cautious with sexual violence. There's a lot implied in the show, but I see their relationship as not being an especially sexually violent one? Mostly, no graphic descriptions of violent non-con. Jack is drunk a lot, so drinking and drugs is fine, but no explicit rape, okay? Thank you thank you thank you and happy yuletide! -Jublelion |
letter |
| jublelion | Vikings (TV) | Floki (Vikings), Athelstan (Vikings) | Okay, so here's the deal. Floki is my favorite ever. He's such a little shit. But at the same time, I don't know how you'd write him? Complicated. He doesn't have to be a main character, but if he could exist a little, I would die a happy lady. Otherwise, if Floki isn't the main jam, then I'd love some Athelstan/Ragnar/Lagertha threesome fic. Go graphic on how sexy Lagertha is, talk about how she get's jealous of how friendly Athelstan and Ragnar get, write about the hot hot hot sex they all have, either at once or trading off. AND/OR: you could write about how you think their relationship would play out in Viking Norway. Or how Athelstan deals with his Catholicism and the desire he feels for both of them. I love me some internalized homophobia, some best friends and some sexy powerful women. I trust you, gentle Yuletide author, to make good decisions about this fic. Happy Yuletide, and thank you! -Jublelion |

| julieandrews | Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen | Henry Tilney, Catherine Morland | Everything about Henry and Catherine is adorable! I like how much they love being around each other, how sarcastic Henry is, and how wide-eyed Catherine is. I'd like something sweet about their married life. Or maybe a story where they stay at someone else's perfectly normal-looking cottage and discover all kinds of gothic secrets and ghosts. But anything would be fine with me, from dogs to babies to children to modern AUs where Catherine's obsessed with Twilight. | letter |
| julieandrews | O Brother Where Art Thou? (2000) | Penny Wharvey McGill, Ulysses Everett McGill | O, Brother, Where Art Thou? is one of my favorite movies, and I can't believe that people don't write Everett/Penny fic all the time. I like how Penny wears the pants in the family and Everett clearly loves her for it. A story about their lives together with their daughters would be perfect. Does she eventually marry him again? Do they have any more close calls with the law? Is Everett banned from every Woolworths, or just the one? | letter |
| julieandrews | Catherine Called Birdy - Karen Cushman | Catherine | Birdy, Stephen (Catherine Called Birdy) | I reread this book for the first time in a long time this year, and I loved how saucy Catherine was. She's such a great character! I want to know what Stephen, the man she's about to marry when the book ends, is like. Does she ever keep another diary? What's married life like for her? Is settling into a new household hard? Does she get new birds? | letter |
| julieandrews | Dragon Age - Various Authors | Fiona (Dragon Age) | Fiona has a sad life, but she herself is such a great, strong character. I like her friendship with Duncan and the implication that she's Alistair's mother. I'd like to see a bright spot in her early years, a scene we didn't see in the books, or Alistair finding her after all these years. (They'd have so much to talk about!) I'd also be okay with an AU where she raises Alistair herself or one where she finds him when he's still a little boy. I don't want to receive a story that centers on her sexual abuse. Nothing lovey-dovey with Maric, either, please (I don't really ship it). |

| julieandrews | Hysteria (2011) | Charlotte Dalrymple (Hysteria), Mortimer Granville (Hysteria) | Charlotte and Mortimer are so cute! I like how they come to know each other and be fond of each other. What are their lives like after the credits roll? Does Mortimer enjoy working with the poor as much as Charlotte? Do they have children, or is running after the children in the settlement house enough for them? Feel free to include Emily and Edmund, too. I loved everybody in this movie. | letter |
| julieandrews | Much Ado About Nothing - Shakespeare (2011 Rourke) | Benedick (Much Ado About Nothing - Shakespeare (2011 Rourke)), Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing - Shakespeare (2011 Rourke)) | I wasn't a big fan of Much Ado About Nothing before I saw David Tennant and Catherine Tate as Benedick and Beatrice! They made the romance so cute, I really believed it. I'd like to see more cheesy 1980s fun with them after the end of the play. Don't feel like you have to be anything like Shakespeare in your dialogue choices. I just want their wit and passion for each other, whether they're talking in iambic pentameter or not. | letter |
| justhuman | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills, Jennifer Mills, Katrina Crane | I'm just enamored with the show and the whole cast could show up as supporting characters, if that's the way you roll. I'd love to see Abby and Jennifer working it out -- whether Ichabod referee's or not is up to you. If that's not your thing, I'd love to see Abby or Jennifer interacting with Katrina. | letter |
| justhuman | Runaways (Comics) | Nico Minoru (Runaways), Karolina Dean (Runaways), Molly Hayes (Runaways), Gertrude Yorkes (Runaways) | I just read through the Runaways and I'm loving the whole cast, including the boys and the dinosaur. I could go for absolutely anything in this fandom. Nico/Karolina would be sweet. Gertrude mentoring Molly through growing up - also really cool. Or, you know, have at that story you want to tell. |
letter |
| justhuman | Covert Affairs | Auggie Anderson, Annie Walker (Covert Affairs), Joan Campbell, Eyal Lavine | I'm cheering on Auggie and Annie as I watched the show, so if you're inclined that way, I'm behind you. That being said, they're all spies and do what it takes to get the job done...and sometimes they don't have the same moral qualms about blowing off some steam. I'm also behind Auggie/Eyal, Auggie/Annie/Eyal, Joan/Annie. And if you're in a gen frame and mind, mix and match. -- I do think that Joan and Annie on a mission would be great. |
letter |
| justhuman | Haven | Duke Crocker, Audrey Parker, Nathan Wuornos, Dwight Hendrickson | I have so much love for this show, even when it's doing things that are potentially unhappy. I am up to date on current canon, so feel free to use that if that's your thing. I'm also very good with nondescript times, alternate-Audreys (Sarah, Lucy, Lexi, etc...). I'm going to ramble here, but feel free to do what moves you if you're not into any of these requests. I am a fan of the entire cast, so any or all of them can show up as supporting characters. Current season: Duke and Nathan getting together over Audrey's disappearance. Did you see them hugging one another??? They are the this generation's Vince and Dave, destined to be together in one fashion or other. I'd just like them together romantically. Okay, but if shipping them doesn't work for you, Duke should try to calm Nathan down by teaching him yoga. YOGA -- DID YOU SEE THAT??? Sometime when Audrey was Audrey -- OT3 - Duke/Audrey/Nathan When Audrey wasn't Audrey. Give me an Audrey from a very different time -- pre-colonial, colonial, pre-civil war. Give me Audrey meeting up with her former and maybe future selves in the barn Dwight - I love Dwight. Pair him with Nathan or Duke or Lexi. Or, just tell me a story of Dwight. |
letter |
| justhuman | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Grant Ward, Jemma Simmons, Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | I'm having fun with the show, despite the complaints from much of fandom. I've been into all of Joss' fandoms - I both love and hate him at various times. I think I guessing at what Joss will turn these character's into a couple of years down the line. With that in mind, A story about how Maria and Melinda worked together on a mission in the past. I'm good with gen or ship. A story of what Grant will be like in the future. I know that fandom things he is the biggest waste of space ever. All I can see is Wesley, who granted, was at least comic relief when he joined the Buffy cast. But he was also full of himself and thought he was the expert at everything. Grant can only be this boring and annoying because there is a great transformation in his future - make it so! Jemma - I want to know why she and Fitz wanted to go out in the field. What made them say yes to Coulson. What is she running away from or secretly running toward? |
letter |
| justhuman | Defiance (TV) | Irisa Nyira | I just want Irisa in any way shape or form. I'm a fan of the cast and the plotlines they've got working, so any supporting cast is fine with me. If you'd like a direction to roll with Irisa exploring her Irathian spiritual roots. ...or possibly talking with Meh Yewll about the silver and gold. |

| justlikethehamptons | Big Eden (2000) | Pike Dexter, Henry Hart | Henry and Pike's love story is one of my very favorites. Their awkwardness is adorable, and the ending of the movie never fails to make me grin like a fool. The few fics that are out there tend toward awkwardness in their sex life, which I can see, but I'd like to think that they've both been denying themselves for so long that once they do get there, they'd need at least a weekend-long sex marathon to get it out of their systems. I would be totally fine with reading about that. I would also be totally fine with reading any little slice of life scene; the two of them reading the paper together, or maybe arguing over where they're going to live once they finally move in together. Please feel free to bring any townspeople in that you want; they are all my favorites. Basically the only things that would make me unhappy in this fandom are character death (aside from the canonical one) or break-up fic. |
|
| justlikethehamptons | The Sandlot (1993) | Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez, Scotty Smalls | I love these two. I love their fundamental understanding of one another, I love their instant connection, I love the fact that they stay lifelong friends. I'm aware of the canon of the sequels, but I prefer to ignore them, so you are more than welcome to do the same. Married baseball boyfriends, is what I'm getting at here. They're still together as grown-ups! I assumed as a kid that we were supposed to ship them. Again, I know the sequels gave at least one of them a wife and family (both of them, I think?) but I'd just as soon pretend they married each other than have to deal with writing off their spouses. If you'd prefer to stick with the time frame of the original film, that's totally fine too. I would love more exploration of their friendship, maybe even one of their other friends (or Scotty's mom! I love Scotty's mom) observing them from the sidelines. |
|
| justlikethehamptons | Veritas: The Quest | Calvin Banks, Nikko Zond | I'm such a huge Calvin fan. He's a complete dork who thinks he's cool, he's got Daddy issues, and he's jealous of a teenage boy. He's basically the total package. I ship him with Nikko, but if you don't, that's okay. What I really love about them is their back and forth sniping, the fact that they're both so smart and they never back down from an argument, but in the end they have each other's backs. If you want to write shippy fic, whether it's a missing scene or post-series or whatever, I would love that. But if you'd rather stick with gen, I'd love it if you focused on Calvin. He goes through some pretty complex emotions toward the end of the series, and they never felt all that resolved to me. If you feel like doing something with that, great. Alternatively, tell me about his Daddy issues. What's his relationship with his father like? Does he have one? Why is he so desperate for Solomon's approval? (I have this whole headcanon about a schoolboy crush, if you want to take it in that direction.) If you're feeling especially ambitious and want to write about the mythology of the show, I am not going to be disappointed. There's so much that was left unresolved regarding the End of Days and Dorna and the Benefactor's connection to it all. And what was up with Nikko's sudden telekinesis? |
|
| justlikethehamptons | Mighty Ducks (Movies) | Fulton Reed, Dean Portman | Bash brothers fic! The world needs more Bash Brothers. On the ice or off, I love their chemistry. If you want to ship them, that would be more than okay with me. Why did Portman come back to the team at the end of the third movie? I contend that he couldn't live without Fulton, but I'd love to hear what you think. They go to boarding school, which I've always felt is a perfect excuse for porn, if you're inclined in that direction. Do they manage to get along, living in such close quarters long-term? Are they even roommates? If they're not, what kind of problems does that create? Break-up fic would make me sad, but other than that, I'm all for more Bash Brothers fic, no matter what direction you want to take it in. |

| kaberett | The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern | I love the women, and I love the twins, and I love how they interact, and I love how very delicate and careful everything is, and how elaborate, desperate love letters get built up thought by thought, breath by breath. I love that it is an epistolatory love story told in imagination and dreams and delicate spun-glass swans. I love that they find a way out. Anything, basically. |

| Kaesa | Costume Quest (Video Game) | I've only played this through with Wren as the player character and Reynold as the kidnapped twin; I tried it the other way around but after a few houses it just felt wrong. I feel like that's how it was scripted and the two options were an afterthought? I just can't see the Wren from the intro wearing a candycorn costume. Since they are canonically fourth graders, I don't particularly expect (or want) this fic to have a high rating, but I ship Everett/Lucy in a cute little kid kind of way, if it matters. I did ask for any, and I would be happy with nearly anything here, although (unusually for me) I don't especially find the monsters and the worldbuilding for Repugia particularly fascinating. I have played through Grubbins on Ice so feel free to incorporate that, but I don't particularly need fic incorporating anything from Grubbins on Ice. I'd also prefer not to get fic where it really is just something they imagined. The thing that fascinates me about this game is the premise: Halloween costumes give you monster-fighting superpowers, how cool is that? So what I'd really like to see is stuff about that. Go wild making up new costumes with new powers if you have ideas! Do they keep doing this every Halloween? Are they doomed to become blind to the monsters once they grow up, or do they fit their monster-fighting role into their post-grade- school lives somehow? I could see Wren getting involved in theater costuming in high school, maybe, or Everett becoming an expert cosplayer, for example. Or tell me about Lucy's science and if she's ever able to prove that the monsters are real! How does her love of science interact with the totally bizarre and ridiculous reality of costumes give you superpowers? And how does Reynold fit into all of this? He strikes me as the most "normal," down-to-earth character -- sweet in contrast to Wren's snark. I'd be interested in seeing something deeper about his reconciliation with his sister that's not just "they share candy now!" Maybe they go to work designing and testing better and more powerful costumes to defend the world from monster threats next Halloween? Where do the battle stamps come from, exactly? The monsters themselves seem kind of dim but ultimately not actually evil; are there other worlds with other threats that visit our world on Halloween or at other costume-heavy times of the year? I would also just really love teamfic, in any configuration, set during canon. What is it like suddenly being tasked with fighting monsters while wearing a cardboard box to save your twin's life? Did Everett put up a fight about having to wear the Statue of Liberty costume? What made Lucy decide to investigate the broken Mall-O-Rail? |
letter | |
| Kaesa | Analogue: A Hate Story/Hate Plus (Visual novel series) | Mute (Analogue), Kim Hyun-ae | The Pale Bride | I would absolutely love fic about either of these characters separately or together, pre-, post-, or during canon. I would frankly just love any fic for this fandom at all, seriously, so if you have a story in you about one of the other characters, go for it, but my only specific prompts are for *Mute and/or *Hyun-ae. Also, FYI, I also count Hyun- ae's original human incarnation and all three *Mutes in this, so whichever you would prefer to write about, just write me the fic that works for you! Please, please, please don't inflict any new Horrible Tragedies on the main characters. I like angstfic as much as anyone, but I think canon has given me a year's supply of angst. I generally play the player character as female, and would kind of prefer fic about a female player character if you are writing them. Specific prompts, in no particular order, although I've put all the Hate Plus spoilers last in case anyone reading this hasn't played through it yet: *Hyun-ae and the Investigator: She's been through a lot, and now she has to readjust to a life in a new and unknown future -- either with a new friend or a lover as her guide. How does that work? Will she continue to travel with the Investigator? Will she stay on Earth and try to pursue her goal of becoming a scientist? Can she somehow do both at once, seeing as how she's an AI, or is she going to have to make some tough choices? (And how comfortable is she with having real choices, ones that aren't "kill everyone or continue to be horrifically oppressed"?) I'd like to see *Hyun-ae coming into her own, and learning to relate to people again, and being able to stand on her own two feet, the way she should've had the opportunity to do centuries ago. What part the Investigator plays in that is up to you. (And how do you buy a cake in deep space, anyway?) WACKY HAREM ENDING!: Tell me what happens between *Mute and *Hyun-ae and the player character! How did the Investigator cheat? Show me *Mute and *Hyun-ae adjusting to society in their different ways. Will *Mute ever acknowledge her feelings for *Hyun-ae and the Investigator? I'd also love to see the similarities and differences between *Mute's programming as a security AI vs. her idealized wifely role. ...Or, porn. I know I said I don't normally read porn, but believe me, you could totally write porn here with lots of fluffy bickering and I would be extremely pleased. OT3 or *Mute/*Hyun-ae! Does *Hyun-ae insist on maid cosplay? Is *Mute enjoying her new physical body more than she expected? Go for it. Hyun-ae and the Empress: Back when Hyun-ae was the Emperor's wife, Jae-hwa was Hyun-ae's only friend. I really liked Jae-hwa and thought their friendship was incredibly sweet, and would like to see more it. Maybe show me how a special occasion was celebrated in the Emperor's household, and how they prepared behind the scenes? Or a time when Hyun-ae could soothe and take care of Jae-hwa like she did for Hyun-ae? Young Hyun-ae: I'd love to see fic about Hyun-ae and her actual parents before she got sick and was cryogenically frozen, or maybe with that looming over their heads, but having a good time anyway. Again, a holiday might be a good place to go with this fic -- she mentioned her mother's cakes on her birthdays, and New Year celebrations were important to her. Or tell me about Hyun-ae and her father the scientist; it sounds like she misses him terribly. BELOW THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR HATE PLUS: New *Mute: Truly, this is the weirdest of all possible futures. How is New *Mute taking all this? She seems pretty upbeat and okay, but it's possible the Investigator is less so; it's hard not to feel guilty for what happened to *Mute. So what is their relationship like now? Or, how does society treat AIs, and how does New *Mute expect to be treated -- do they have very different expectations? Or, what kind of other dangers will she and the Investigator face out in space? Are there space pirates? Rogue AIs? Uncharted black holes? I love silly SF tropes, so go wild here if you want. Old *Mute/Heo Seo-yeong: I have to say, Seo-yeong tends to come across as TOTALLY OVERAWED by *Mute, and I can absolutely see why, since not only is *Mute a total badass, but what must it be like to fall for your immortal AI boss? Of course everyone onboard knew who *Mute was, but when did they first really meet? I'd like to see happier, more peaceful times for them. Save *Mute!: What is says on the tin: write me a fic where the player character manages to keep *Mute from committing suicide, gets her back to Earth and into therapy. (Alternately, if you can magically make my copy of the game do this, you don't even need to write me fic. I am only half- serious here, but that half is serious. I went back and tried to save her, and tried again, and... yeah. It hit me pretty hard.) |

| Kaesa | Die Zauberflöte | The Magic Flute - Mozart/Schikaneder | Königin der Nacht | Queen of the Night, Sarastro | o when I was a kid I interpreted these two as being married even though the Queen of the Night wants Sarastro dead -- what can I say, I had a strange upbringing -- and I ship them hard. If you don't ship it, that's okay; what I'm looking for here, shippy or not, is fic about their rivalry and interactions and political machinations. Presumably the Queen of the Night rules the Night and Sarastro is a monarch of wisdom and (symbolically) Day -- the two can't exist without each other, so how do these two kingdoms coexist? The Queen of the Night is banished to eternal night in the end... but she's the Queen of the Night, so presumably she's familiar with the lay of the land. Is she regrouping for another attempt on Sarastro's life? Why exactly does she hate him so much? Has Sarastro ever tried to get her to come around to his way of thinking? I would love something beautiful and weird and magical about either of their kingdoms individually, if the two of them are not working for you. (I would like to ask that you not focus on the Queen of the Night's relationship with Pamina, please, as shitty parents are a touchy subject for me, and please don't subvert it so that she was right all along.) We don't see much of how the Queen of the Night's kingdom works, tell me about that! Or tell me about Sarastro's daily management of the Temple! If you do ship them, I'd still love any of the above, but obviously there's a whole different subtext. Are they bitter exes? Are they secretly having an affair (and isn't that pretty hypocritical for Sarastro)? Is it just terrible, unbearable UST? I would prefer that you please, please not focus on subversion; I realize there's some really icky stuff in the libretto about irrational women and race and whatnot, but I don't think you have to agree with the opera to write a fic about individuals who are like that. I'd just prefer the Queen of the Night to be terrible and Sarastro to be flawed but genuinely well- intentioned. |

| Kaesa | Fallen London | Echo Bazaar | The Barbed Wit, The Acclaimed Beauty | I generally play this as a female character who is willing to enter into romantic and sexual entanglements with men, women, and others alike. But you don't need to write a player character into your story, and if you do, I have no problem with them being not-female or more interested in a particular gender. Fallen London is vast and contains multitudes. So I actually have three different sets of characters I'd love fic of. I would love them all equally, but the other two are kind of cracky, so I went with the Barbed Wit and the Acclaimed Beauty for my requests, because I don't actually want Any. So let's start with the Acclaimed Beauty and the Barbed Wit: I'd really love fic about either or both of these characters -- write me fic about their past relationship? Or write me fic about the Acclaimed Beauty and his... previous relations with the Rubbery Folk? Or write me fic about the Barbed Wit being her hilarious snarky self in court, or how she came to be said hilarious snarky self? I admit to liking the Acclaimed Beauty slightly more -- I was expecting him to be this shallow pretty-boy but he is really, really not, and I just love that, there's a sort of Beauty and the Beast quality to his story. But the Barbed Wit is made of sarcasm, and I do love sarcasm, so really anything goes here. As for the other possible characters (and please don't feel you have to consider writing these; you likely didn't sign up for them, after all): The Once-Dashing Smuggler and/or Feducci: I am fascinated by Feducci, the leader of the Black Ribbon who claims to be a Tomb-Colonist -- but we're all pretty sure he is from very much elsewhere. Also, I spent about two weeks stealing Antique Mysteries from him to pay rent once, and I can't imagine he didn't notice all his Antique Mysteries vanishing. What is he going to do about this? Hopefully not murder me. Well, not permanently, at any rate. And then there's the Once-Dashing Smuggler who courted me. This guy is a Tomb-Colonist, really, but he's, well, terribly interesting in spite of being, shall we say, among the vitally challenged. Tell me about his wild smuggling days, please. And if these two should meet, what would happen? Who would win in a fight? Or are they working together -- perhaps smuggling something in from the Presbyterate? I would be very happy with gen or slash here. F.F. Gebrandt and/or His Amused Lordship: Fic about either of these two going about their business would be lovely -- I look forward to every encounter with His Amused Lordship, and F.F. Gebrandt is a woman of science! and I do love science. So tell me about their researches, their politicking and tiptoing around the Masters' rules, please! Fic about either of them individually would be lovely, and fic about them working together would be awesome too! I admit, however, that I include them together because as I was going through the tagset, it occurred to me that gen of either of them would be great, as there's not nearly enough fic about them -- and then I realized they would also make a hilarious couple! She's so serious, and he hides his serious side well. So if you wanted to write ridiculous shipfic, I'd be very pleased. |
letter |
| Kaesa | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke | When I say any, I mean any. I WOULD LOVE ANYTHING. My only "please do not writes" here are: if you're writing Jonathan/someone else or Arabella/someone else, please don't set it when they are both alive and in the same world; I'd prefer not to receive Strange/Norrell; and even if you're writing some kind of cracky coffeeshop AU, don't take away the magic. Promptwise, I've broken the characters into rough groups, because there are so many of them. These are not in order of preference. Arabella Strange, Jonathan Strange: I'd love cute Jonathan/Arabella fic, set during or after canon. They're a great couple. And of course I'd love for them to be able to be together again, even though I know canon doesn't seem to allow for that -- but if you could make it happen, I'd love you forever. Alternately, tell me about Strange and Norrell in the Eternal Night -- where are they going and what will they encounter along the way? For this one, I'm happy with weird crossovers. Just please make sure I'm familiar with the canon for same. Or, tell me about Arabella's life post-canon. Now that there is magic in England again and she's out of Faerie and her husband is gone, what will she do with her life? Or, tell me more about Strange during the war years -- those were some fascinating spells he came up with, I'd love to see more. Or you could write me Strange/Lord Byron. I'd be down with that. John Childermass, Vinculus: I'd love to know more about Childermass' past or Vinculus' trials and tribulations as the King's Book prior to canon. And of course I'd love fic about Childermass and Vinculus as Reader and Book. (Slash is totally okay here.) I know there are fics about this; I want more. The gentleman with the thistledown hair: BACKSTORY. Give me backstory. He is just so deliciously awful and I love that. Interactions with the other canon characters would be great, as would worldbuildy fic about Lost-Hope prior to canon. I have also read The Ladies of Grace Adieu and would be happy to receive fic where he meets any of those characters. Stephen Black: Stephen is one of my favorite characters in the canon; I would actually be perfectly happy with magicless backstoryfic about him and Walter Pole from Stephen's PoV. But I'd also really like to see Lost-Hope under his rule. How will he deal with his capricious fairy subjects, and the neighboring kingdoms? It goes without saying, I'd also like to see more of the gentleman and Stephen together. John Segundus: Tell me about John Segundus and Starecross Hall after canon! With Norrell gone and English magic returned, did he start tutoring magic again? Did Starecross continue to be a madhouse, or did he open his school of magic? The Raven King, Thomas of Dundale, William of Lanchester, Catherine of Winchester, Francis Pevensey, Martin Pale: These are all Aurate or Argentine magicians, and with the exception of the Raven King, they only show up in the footnotes. I am very, very fond of historical/backstory fics, and would love expansions on any of the footnotes in the books. Last year I got an amazing (AMAZING amazing seriously it was amazing) story about Francis Pevensey and Martin Pale saving Anne Bloodworth from John Hollyshoes: https://archiveofourown.org/works/604015. It was amazing, and somehow managed to hit a bunch of narrative kinks I don't think I even mentioned in my letter last year! So, you know, that's a good example of the kind of thing I'd love. Specific-prompt-wise: I'd like fic about the Raven King in almost any capacity. As trickster or as tricked, at the peak of his reign in the Middle Ages or in one of his other two kingdoms, where he has presumably been between leaving England and the start of canon... I'm curious about the folk legends mentioned in the books about how darkness belongs to the Raven King -- tell me about what happens when people forget that, and forget to acknowledge him. Or tell me about the tower his subjects built in their dreams in 1345; was it built to keep the Black Death out, or was it for some other arcane reason? I want to know more about his relationship with Thomas of Dundale, his first servant, and William of Lanchester, his seneschal, and what they were like! And there's Catherine of Winchester, one of his pupils. How did she meet him and come to be taught by him? Why did she have an apparently normal lifespan unlike Dundale and Lanchester? Speaking of Catherine of Winchester, Martin Pale claimed to have learned all his magic from her even though she'd been dead for centuries -- how did that happen? And I'd love more stories about him and Francis Pevensey working together, and about his relationship with her. (My headcanon is now firmly in the camp of "Pevensey was female.") tl;dr: I just love this book and would like any and all fic of it. Seriously. |

| Kaesa | The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England - Ian Mortimer | o this is a strange request -- the canon is a non-fiction book about England in the fourteenth century, and there aren't really any canon characters, except, I guess, the reader and the narrator. The conceit of the book, however, is that it's written as a travel guide. I liked that. I had been reading it mainly for fic research purposes and just plain curiosity, but I kept envisioning stories as I read through the various sections. What happens if the people around our hypothetical travelers realizes they aren't from around here? Are they literally disallowed all anachronous items (like folding maps) or are they just discouraged from letting anyone see them? And what happens if people find out? After all, if you go back to the same place several times, people are likely to remember you; you'll stick out pretty badly even if you follow all the rules. What if you get sick? The book tells you what to expect in terms of medieval medicine, but I can't imagine a lot of people from the twenty-first century being happy to be treated by a medieval doctor or healer. Or what if you get separated from your traveling companions somehow? How will you find them again in time to get back to the 21st century when you have no cellular service or maps? What if someone steals your stuff and now suddenly there's some cutpurse or bandit with a (dead, powerless) cell phone somewhere in the fourteenth century? The book suggests several places to stay -- inns, private houses, monasteries... are there any of these that are aware of the time travelers in their midst and take a little extra cash to keep quiet about it? Or maybe they know something's odd about the travelers, but the time travel agency doesn't realize and keeps sending tour groups there? What kind of people go back in time for their vacations? What about the tour guides? Is "time travel tour guide" a great job to get after grad school, or is it the crappy job you take to pay your way through grad school? Basically, for this fandom I'd like a fic about culture shock with OCs and worldbuilding. (Crossovers are okay too, but please keep the focus on time travel tourism!) I mean, if you *have* specific characters or incidents from the canon that you'd like to write about -- there's a discussion in the "Traveling" chapter under "Roads" about a pothole so huge a man drowned in it one rainy day, and the local abbot who actually claimed the rights to the dead guy's property, *because he drowned on the abbot's property,* I am serious -- go for it! Write them! But I mostly just want stories about time travelers doing stupid travel things. I would also prefer that the story not be about going back in time and accidentally stepping on a butterfly/killing your grandfather/CHANGING EVERYTHING ONOES, because I get plenty of that in mainstream science fiction and I'm all time-paradox'd out. |

| Kahvi | Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse | Reginald Jeeves, Bertram Wooster | Oh, author! You honestly cannot go wrong with these two, as far as I'm concerned. I love them so much, and I just want to see more of them! That said, here is what I would most prefer: - Bertie POV in style of the written stories - Slash (Jeeves/Wooster) - Lots and lots of delicious plot... - ...with some delicious, explicit sex to round it off! - Virgin (or very inexperienced) either Jeeves or Bertie, or both In that order! But again, I am honestly easy when it comes to Wodehouse and these, my favorite characters of his. |
letter |
| Kahvi | Frankenstein - Nick Dear | Creature (Frankenstein - Nick Dear), Victor Frankenstein (Frankenstein - Nick Dear) | This was, quite honestly, one of the best plays I've ever seen; in particular I was fascinated with the interaction, relationship and chemistry between Victor and the Creature. I would be happy with anything from long and plotty adventure stories through introspective character exploration to explicit slash, or any combination thereof! If you would like specifics, I am particularly interested in both the Creature and Victor's thoughts, attitudes and development with regards to love, both as a concept, a feeling and an act. | letter |
| Kahvi | Robot Series - Isaac Asimov | Elijah Baley, R. Daneel Olivaw | I would love to see Elijah and Daneel investigating a case, preferably after the events of The Naked Sun, but before The Robots of Dawn. Slash would be wonderful - in which case I would prefer UST to an established relationship. If you're not comfortable writing slash, I'd enjoy an exploration of their friendship despite their differences. I love these two, and I love the world in which they live. I am a huge fan of murder mysteries, robots and science fiction, so you can see why I've requested this! |
letter |
| Kahvi | IT Crowd | Maurice Moss, Roy Trenneman | Having seen the final special, I want to know more about how Moss and Roy's relationship (friendship or romantic or sexual, or any combination thereof) has developed and/or will develop as their work situation changes. I love Jen too, so feel free to include her, but I would prefer the focus to be on Moss and Roy. As indicated above, slash and/or friendship, either is fine. And funny. It would be super shiny if it were really funny! |
letter |
| Kahvi | Freyaverse series - Charles Stross | Reginald Jeeves (Freyaverse) | As a fan of both Stross and Wodehouse, I absolutely loved this/these characters and the concept of the Jeeves Corporation. I would basically just love to know more about them, and/or the specific Jeeves(s) we meet in the novel, in any way that might strike your fancy. As you will see from my other requests, I am a slash fan, and I do slash Jeeves/Wooster, so if you'd like to make hints in that direction, they would be more than welcome. Anything from sly references to cameos to the inclusion of Bertie Wooster character(s) would make me super extra happy! In case this all sounds way too specific - don't worry. I love the Freyaverse novels, so anything in that universe that includes this specific character is all good! |
letter |
| Kahvi | Twilight Zone | I have been a massive fan of The Twilight Zone for as long as I can remember. What I love most about the show is the evident care taken by the writers, Serling and others, in trying to both surprise the viewer and make them think. Even the weaker episodes (and your mileage will of course vary as to which these are) so obviously TRY to be clever and interesting and thought provoking, and this is what endears the show to me. "The Eye of the Beholder" happens to be one of my favorite episodes, so if you've offered any of those characters specifically, I would love to read something episode specific! However, if you've not signed up with that specific episode in mind (or if you have, but fancy a challenge), I would be thrilled and delighted to read an original story inspired by the show, a story inspired by any other episode, or really anything at all, I would be equally pleased. |
letter | |
| Kainosite | Chanur Series - C. J. Cherryh | Hilfy Chanur, Vikktakkht, Tahy Mahn | It would be an interesting challenge to get Hilfy, Vikktakkht and Tahy into the same story. You're more than welcome to try, but this is one of those cases where your requester is trying to use the 'AND' as an 'OR'. I would be thrilled with a fic about any of them, or about some combination of them. I love all three of them and I love the Compact, so anything from introspective character studies to fics about their relationships to fics that delve into the worldbuilding and only feature the character in a cameo role would be awesome. |
letter |
| Kainosite | Political RPF - UK 20th-21st c. | Walter Harrison ( Political RPF - UK 20th-21st c.), Bernard Weatherill (Political RPF - UK 20th-21st c.) | I'm open to any fic that touches on their relationship. If you ship them I'd be very happy with some slash. If you don't then gen casefic about some of their parliamentary shenanigans or the story of their first encounter or a thoughtful character study looking back over their careers would be lovely too. Or even an AU where they're transplanted to a different setting but retain their friendly rivalry. You'll be the first person to write fic about them (apart from James Graham), so the world is pretty much your oyster here. | letter |
| Kainosite | Silk (TV) | Martha Costello, Clive Reader | Anything with Martha and Clive in which she gets to boss him around. Clive is quite pleasant as a subordinate and completely insufferable when he thinks he's in the ascendant, so clearly the best solution for everyone concerned is for Martha to firmly take charge. If you ship them and want to write about their relationship or explore their antics in the bedroom, that would be dandy. (I'd be absolutely delighted to get some D/s for this pairing, if that's the sort of thing that appeals to you.) If you'd prefer for Martha to remain gloriously single or date Caroline Warwick and rub Clive's nose in it, that's excellent too! I'd love gen case fic for one of those Clive-as-Martha's-junior-counsel cases, or a story about chambers politics, or one in which Clive pulls his usual crap and gets his usual comeuppance. | letter |
| Kainosite | British Newspapers (Anthropomorphic) | The Guardian (British Newspaper), The Telegraph (British Newspaper), The Sun (British Newspaper), The Daily Mail (British Newspaper) | Imagine that all the British newspapers have anthropomorphic personifications, entities who embody the paper's editorial stance and who are living with the issues and conflicts surrounding the papers. These beings have lifespans that can vastly exceed human lifespans and goals and interests and perspectives of their own that coincide to a certain extent, but not perfectly, with the objectives of their owners and editors. They have their own life cycle, and unlike their proprietors they can't walk away from insolvency or a News of the World-level fuckup. They're highly political but at the same time they're not human: they advocate for policies that will never directly affect them. In a way they're like little gods, living or dying by the numbers of their subscribers and raining down moral judgement on everyone's heads. This is an exciting and scary time for the papers. All of them face huge declines in readership and the fear of going out of business. The Guardian has its Snowden leaks and is trying to reach out to a global audience. The Daily Mail is having a nervous breakdown over Ralph Miliband. The Murdoch titles are still reeling from the death of their sibling News of the World, and wondering if they might be next. All the papers await the implementation of the Leveson proposals with varying degrees of hysteria. I'd like a fic dealing with any or all of these issues, or with the relationships the papers have with their editors or with each other. Or really, anything else with this concept: a historical fic about how one of the papers was born, for instance. You don't have to limit yourself to these four papers or include all the papers I listed if you want to focus on just one- this is another case where the 'AND' in the character request is really an 'OR'. |

Can we have an AU where Cesare and Lucrezia ascend and rule Italy for a thousand years as GODKINGS OF THE WORLD? And where Micheletto is their bestest friend and sharpest tool? Or, if not, historical accuracy is double-plus-good as well, as long as my evil trio remains united in affection, despite the terrible, terrible things they do to one another. Seriously, though, anything (i.e. slash, het, poly, incest, gen) is fine and all characters are fine. I pretty much adore them all. I haven't written my dear yuletide author letter yet, but you'll find it on my LJ under the tag as soon as I get to it in the next few days... <3 You'll see my previous ones there, and I haven't really changed at all in my general tastes. |
letter |
| kali | Rush (2013) | James Hunt (Rush), Niki Lauda (Rush) | I love a good rivalry! I love how their relationship is: "It's complicated." Feel free to sex them up, or you know, just an awesome story about the barefoot on a bicycle meeting, or you know exciting racing relations. Whatever floats your boat. | |
| kali | The Sherwood Ring - Elizabeth Marie Pope | Eleanor Shipley Richard Grahame Peaceable Drummond Sherwood Barbara Grahame | I love this novel SO much. Do the ghosts visit anyone else? Does Peggy ever become a ghost herself? Do the fabulous foursome have other hijinx during their lives or afterlives? So many questions... but I will love whatever you come up with! | |
| kali | Mahabharata - Vyasa | I have always kind of wondered about the Kauravas. What's going on with Duryodhan and Karna? What's it like for Dushala being a single girl with a hundred brothers? Really anything would do though! | ||
| kalirush | Hellboy (Movies) | Abe Sapien | I love the Hellboy comics, and I loved the Hellboy movies (especially the first one, but the second had giant fairy robots and Abe and HB drunk singing so...). Abe is my favorite character- I love his intelligence and thoughtfulness, and his friendship with both HB and Liz. I liked Nuala and Nuada as well, and if you wanted to include Abe/Nuala that would be fine, but I would adore gen fic with Abe and HB or Abe and Liz or Abe and any other BPRD/HB character. Or an adventure with Abe being awesome and saving the day on his own! | letter |
| kalirush | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | Lupe dy Cazaril | I was interested by the theology and world metaphysics in this world, but fascinated by the characters- especially the (ex) saints. I would love something with Cazaril and any of the other saints- Umegat, Ista, or the saints of the Father or Mother that he met. Or him meeting a new saint, who doesn't know what's happening to them. Alternately, I would also love to see Cazaril being a good advisor to Iselle and Bergon after the events of the first book. Or really anything that has Cazaril dealing with politics, or being alive again, or gods. | letter |
| kalirush | Werewolf: The Apocalypse | Werewolf was the first RPG I ever played, back when I was sixteen. I still have a soft spot for it in my heart. What I loved about it then (and still love about it now!) was the way that Garou belong to each other- pack, then sept, then tribe. I was fascinated by pack dynamics- this thing that was half marriage, half friendship, half family. I liked the animism, and the interaction with spirits in the Umbra. I was interested by the way that Garou are forced to become soldiers whether they want to or not- and the war will find them even if they try to run from it. Anything that explores some of those themes will make me very happy! Feel free to use the canon chars listed or make up your own. | letter | |
| kalirush | John Carter (2012) | John Carter (Barsoom) | When I saw this movie, it immediately made my Favorite Movies of All Time list. I love good pulp adventure with all the love in my heart. I really loved the world- Barsoom- and especially the different races (and especially the Tharks! and the adorable baby Tharks!) I love every character that's nominated and would be so happy to see stories about any of them. Things I might like to see: John and Dejah getting to know each other after the action of the movie, John and Sola dealing with some threat to Barsoom or to the Tharks, John trying to figure out how he fits into Barsoom now that he's out of the thick of things, John learning more about the cultures of Barsoom.... and anything that's pulpy, high-flying adventure or romance. There's so much room to find out more about the world and more about the characters and I would love to see it! | letter |
| kalisgirl | Primeval: New World | Ken Leeds, Ange Finch, Toby Nance, Mac Rendell | General notes on preferences and squicks can be found in the sticky post at the top of my LJ. In PNW, I'm a serious lover of the brotp and work-otp. Here, I picked Ken and Ange for their awesomely awkward yet effective partnership and Toby and Mac for their amazing friendship. I do also go with romantic shipping here, too, but my favourite thing about this show was always the hijinks and friendship banter so if you're not ship inclined that's totally cool. (besides, my OTP is Mac/Dylan, actually. In case you wanted to know) |
letter |
| kalisgirl | Continuum (TV) | Betty Robertson, Carlos Fonnegra, Julian Randol, Ann Sadler Randol | General notes on preferences and squicks can be found in the sticky post at the top of my LJ. Minor characters to the front, please. Not really minor, I know, but characters that all have backstory gaps a truck could fit through. What are their stories? Alternately, look forward... What happened at the send of season 2 (no, seriously, wtf happened?) What are Betty and Carlos political allegiances now? Is Julian a dupe or a leader? Where does Ann fit in her sons' futures? |
letter |
| kalisgirl | Graceland (TV) | Mike Warren, Johnny Tuturro, Charlie DeMarco, Paul Briggs | General notes on preferences and squicks can be found in the sticky post at the top of my LJ. This show totally hooked me. Complicated people, crazy situations, sandy beaches... Awesome. I would like to see inside their heads, these agents of Graceland. Personally, I see them as platonic, loving family - though I do ship Mike/Charlie at times if you are interested in including something romantic or sexy. I would prefer no slash or house-poly. |
letter |
| kalisgirl | Alice (2009) | Duchess (Alice), Jack Heart | General notes on preferences and squicks can be found in the sticky post at the top of my LJ. I am a hopeless Duchess/Jack shipper. Help! That is all. (actually, there's more at my LJ) |
letter |
| kalisgirl | Wire in the Blood | Tony Hill, Alex Fielding, Paula McIntyre, Kevin Geoffries | General notes on preferences and squicks can be found in the sticky post at the top of my LJ. There's a longer write-up at my LJ, but in a nutshell: Tony + Alex - awesome. Paula + Kevin - amazing. both couples, solving crimes and being family - the best. |

| kalisgirl | Empire Records (1995) | A.J.

Okay, let's be honest: I hated Corey so much. I thought Deb and Gina were a hundred times more interesting. So please fix - AJ and Deb fit as friends and lovers, while Gina should be allowed to exist how she wants without slut-shaming and inferiority complexes. And Mark just makes everything... interesting. There's a better write-up my LJ. |

letter |
| Kalloway | Ar tonelico | Post-game shenanigans are preferable. Lyner learning to work for a relaxed Shurelia. How everyone handles a welcome-but-surprise reappearance of Ayatane. Ayatane and Misha sharing housekeeping tips-- It's all good. I just want to see more love for this game. | letter | |
| Kalloway | King of Bones - Erin A. Bisson | Keshan's continuing education with Dashyan and Miri, perhaps? General adventures? | letter | |

| Kalloway | Tales of Xillia | Jude Mathis, Gaius (Tales of Xillia) | I adored the interactions between these two and would like to see where it could go. Shippy preferred, but obviously not required. Send them on an adventure? Checking out places post-game? Staying at Leia's inn? | letter |
| Kalloway | Pet Shop of Horrors | Count D | Any untold story from either the original series or sequel. | letter |
| kangeiko | Seafort Saga - David Feintuch | Nicholas Seafort, Edgar Tolliver | What I love most about Nicky is his ability to commit himself entirely to a course of action. What I love most about Edgar is how he is able to back Nicky fully in public, and then rip strips from him in private when he doesn't agree. There is so little fanfic available for this fandom, and yuletide is more or less my only chance of acquiring more. So anything that showcases these two, snarking at each other while everyone else has heart attacks at the familiarity, would make my day. Maybe someone overhears or sees Edgar being too familiar, and Nicky has to step in before his second gets squished? Maybe one of Nick's many enemies figures out his never-ending capacity for guilt and self-sacrifice and decides to kill two birds with one stone by kidnapping Edgar? My personal favourites in their timeline are the HMS Victoria return journey from Hope Nation, Tolliver going crazy trying to find Nick on Earth when he runs off to find Annie, and post-retirement Tolliver sticking to Nicky's side through exile, revolution, and a second bout of child rearing. My personal headcanon is that someone after they meet again in Book 3 they end up together, but if you're more inclined to gen that makes me equally happy. More details are included in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. |
letter |
| kangeiko | Rush (2013) | Niki Lauda (Rush), James Hunt (Rush) | I'm equally happy with gen or slash for these two! I absolutely loved James getting into a fight with the reporter being cruel to Niki; Niki's slow but growing confidence in his own appeal - and how it is destroyed by the crash; Niki needing to watch James win 'his' points to force him through his recovery; way back when they were young and furious and arrogant and just as likely to kill each other off the track as on it. Anything that plays off the way they need each other in order to succeed would be very welcome. More details are included in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. |
letter |
| kangeiko | 15th Century CE RPF | Caterina Sforza (15th Century CE RPF), Lucrezia Borgia (15th Century CE RPF), Cesare Borgia (15th Century CE RPF) | Caterina was held prisoner by Cesare for some time. Anything about her interacting with the Borgias, particularly Lucrezia (and Lucrezia's relationship with Cesare at that point) would be very welcome. It's a pretty brutal part of Caterina's life, and my headcanon is that Caterina was raped by Cesare and did not seduce him as he claimed. I'd therefore ask that you do not include any graphic non-con, please (although if you go towards the - consensual - femslash of Lucrezia/Caterina, that would be welcome). If you can work in someone telling off Caterina's blasted self-absorbed sons, that would make me very happy. More details are included in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. |
letter |
| kangeiko | 18th Century CE RPF | Marie Antoinette (18th Century CE RPF), Marie Louise of Savoy | Princess de Lamballe (18th Century CE RPF), Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron | Duchess of Polignac (18th Century CE RPF) | I'm fascinated by Marie Antoinette's relationships with the Duchesse de Polignac and the Princesse de Lamballe. Anything about them from a happier time, perhaps at the Petit Trianon, or around the birth of Marie Antoinette's babies, would be fabulous. I realise that Marie Antoinette was first in the Polignac circle and then became friends with the Princesse de Lamballe subsequently, so please do not feel pressured to include all three if they don't work in your timeline - Marie Antoinette plus either the Duchesse de Polignac or the Princesse de Lamballe would be fabulous. Gen or femslash welcome! More details are included in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. |
letter |
| KannaOphelia | Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland | Rorona Frixell (Atelier Rorona), Cordelia von Feuerbach (Atelier Rorona) | These two are so incredibly cute together, with their mutual low self-esteem getting in their way but obviously meaning the world to each other. I'd love shippy fic (especially if Cory's jealousy is involved), or a story with the girls going out adventuring together, either as BFFs or a couple. | letter |
| KannaOphelia | Cute Knight Kingdom | Player (Cute Knight Kingdom) | I'd love a story focusing on one of the multiple "career” endings/paths of this game, worldbuilding, backstory or a story pairing the PC with one of her female romantic options (Helena and Princess Alana) or Sophia. Gen or f/f, please! | letter |
| KannaOphelia | Heartstring Bugs (Video Game) | This game didn't have a romance route for the three female NPCs—I would love to read one! Alternatively, I'd enjoy any two the girls paired with each other, BFF gen, or explorations of the background and lives of the nominated characters... baby viruses for bonus points! | letter | |
| KannaOphelia | Princess Ballerina | Imagine Ballet Star | Imagine Ballet Dancer (Video Games) | Keira (Imagine Ballet Star), Naomi (Imagine Ballet Star) | The end of Keira's story makes it clear that Naomi is the most important person in the world to Keira. I would love a story developing on this, preferably as a pairing, but BFF gen would be great. Something focusing on the pretty pink world of this game with ballet and fashion would be perfect, or with Naomi finding a happy-ever-after despite her thwarted ballet dreams. | letter |
| KannaOphelia | Ohimesama Debyū | Princess Debut (Video Games) | Sabrina | Player (Princess Debut), Princess Isabel | I really wish poor prickly, lonely Isabel had a route, or at least, that the results of the promises between Isabel and Sabrina to drop their rivalry and become friends had led to actual friendshippy scenes. I'd love something exploring their friendship, romantically or not... or fiction about the Princesses in general. f/f or gen, please! | letter |
| KannaOphelia | Wagamama Girls Mode Yokubari Sensen | Style Savvy Trendsetters | New Style Boutique (Video Games) | Player (Style Savvy: Trendsetters) | Anything set in the fashion-obsessed, mutually supportive world of Style Savvy would be wonderful. Gen would be great, or I'm cool with the PC being paired with any of the women who make it their mission in life to help her succeed, her models, or with the cute delivery boy with a crush. Basically, I want the labels, the shop and/or the networking! | letter |
| Kansas42 | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV), John Diggle (Arrow TV) | I kind of go for friendship, bonding, emotional and/or physical hurt/comfort fics -- I'm especially a sucker for PTSD and readjusting to life off the island and whatnot -- but ships are totally cool too. (Although I really prefer them to NOT be incest fic or PWP. It's just not my thing.) | |
| Kansas42 | Brick (2005) | Brendan Frye, The Brain (Brick) | The voice and the lingo of this are so hard to imitate, so it's really cool when someone can make it work in fic. I'd love to see Brendan and Brain unravel some other kind of mystery, before or after the events of the movie. | |
| Kansas42 | Justified | Raylan Givens, Boyd Crowder, Tim Gutterson, Rachel Brooks | I only get four characters, but I also like Art, Ava, and Loretta a lot too and would totally be fine reading fic with them. Please anyone but Winona. Obviously the Raylan and Boyd friendship is awesome, and I always like more of that. And daddy issues. Ohmygod, daddy issues. I'd kind of like to see more of Tim, too, because he's kind of the best and gets less screen time than the others. Any PTSD stuff would be most appreciated. I'm not a huge shipper in this fandom-- I actually kind of prefer gen here -- but I'm okay with most pairings. I'm just not really into PWP. And Winona. Really don't need Winona. |
|
| Kansas42 | Justice League & Justice League Unlimited (Cartoons) | Shayera Hol (Justice League Cartoon), Wally West (Justice League Cartoon) | I like team dynamics. That's totally my thing. I love to see when the original six struggle to get along and eventually come together to defeat the bad guy. If there's some talk about all their various tragic pasts, well, hey. I'm not going to object to that. I'm generally less interested in all the heroes from Justice League Unlimited -- I prefer the original six -- but I can read them too. And I know he's not one of the nominated characters, but I'm a huge Batman fan, particularly Kevin Conroy's Batman, and I would love to see him show up in whatever story you want to tell. I'm also always up for Hawkgirl kicking ass and taking names. And if you like writing for the Flash, I wouldn't mind seeing him get to do some serious stuff along with his general goofballery. I'm not a huge shipper, but I'll certainly read it. I would request no PWP or incest fic, please. |
|
| karaokegal | The Hour | Adam Le Ray, Hector Madden, Marnie Madden, Freddie Lyon | I'd really love something focusing on poor, closeted, alcoholic Adam, and his relationship with Marnie, prior to the first series. Maybe she's slightly clueless, but enjoys his friendship and confides about her problems with Hector. Or Adam has a crush on Hector and uses Marnie as a proxy, possibly even physically, as much of trainwreck as that would be. If you're more of a Freddie fan, how about post series 2, fix-it fic, about Freddie's convalescence involving Hector and Marnie and Marnie's cooking, or surprise Adam. Please see my letter for further thoughts and suggestions. |
letter |
| karaokegal | The Wire | Jimmy McNulty, Kima Greggs, William "Bunk" Moreland, William Rawls | I love, love, love Jimmy McNulty and I'd really love some massively messed up, alcholic, really bad idea sex with horrible aftermaths, with one of the other requested characters. Please see my letter for details, disclaimers, video clips etc. |
letter |
| karaokegal | Avalon - Roxy Music (Album) | This is my favorite album in the world. I invite you to go to town with any characters or narrative you personally find in the music or lyrics. Lots of glamour, angst, romance, heart-break, decadence or honestly, whatever the album says to you. Please see my letter for more details. | letter | |
| karaokegal | Broadchurch | Ellie Miller, Alec Hardy | I want to see where Ellie and Alec go from the devastation at the end of the series, especially Ellie's being forced to deal with the "How could you not know?" question. I'm up for friendship or hurt/comfort, angsty, bad-idea sex/love as long as there's no schmoop or fluff. I can see them forming a Private Investigation business and maybe going on a holiday or assignment to Scotland. Not interested in hearing much about Ellie's kids or Alec's daughter, but wouldn't mind running into the ex. |
letter |
| karaokegal | Would I Lie To You? RPF | David Mitchell (Would I Lie To You RPF), Lee Mack (Would I Lie To You RPF) | Gen or slash is fine here---I'm really curious about how much Lee is similar or different to his stage persona and how that affects his relationship with David. Are they really how we see them when David is bristling at Lee or is that all a put-on or some part of each. Please see my letter for further details. |

| karrenia_rune | Sinbad (TV) | Sinbad (Sinbad (TV)), Nala (SInbad (TV)), Rina (Sinbad (TV)), Gunnar (Sinbad (TV)) | There really isn't any one character that I wouldn't love to see written about, in fandoms such as this I love the character dynamics, their interactions and the grudging, but soon accepted trust that they have to have in each other in order to survive in literally uncharted water, especially in the early episodes. I like the fact that they acknowledge the curse that Sinbad can't survive on dry land for very long. I also love character studies, action/adventure, pre and post-series, but anything you write in this fandom will be fantastic. |
|
| karrenia_rune | Cowboy Bebop | Spike Spiegel, Julia (Cowboy Bebop), Faye Valentine, Jet Black | This was an OMG moment for me, I can't believe it qualifies for Yuletide, very happy person here. I love Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Spike to pieces, I love the snark, the banter, the moral gray area that they all sort of exist in. So, I am partial here to episode tags, back stories, character interactions, action/adventure, shennigans and the like. But, do whatever you feel is best for the story that you want to tell, and will be happy. | |
| karrenia_rune | Defiance (TV) | Amanda Rosewater, Joshua Nolan, Irisa Nyira, Tommy Lasalle | Here I like character studies, action/adventure, father/daughter dynamics between Nolan and Irisa, ep. tags, pre-series stuff, basically anything goes, and any rating from G to R. |
|
| karrenia_rune | X-Factor (Comics) | Theresa Cassidy (X-Factor Comics), Julio Richter (X-Factor Comics), Layla Miller (X-Factor Comics), Shatterstar (X-Factor Comics) | nything from missing scenes, friendship, case-fic, to something following the end of the series, a sort of what happens next, but I love all of the listed characters as well as the ones who weren't nominated, so anything you write in this fandom I am sure to love. You can even do AUs, so do whatever feels right for the story that you want to tell. |

| karrenia_rune | The Death Gate Cycle - Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman | Zifnab Xar Samah | ||
| karrenia_rune | Grimm (TV) | Monroe (Grimm), Nick Burkhardt, Juliette Silverton | ||
| Kass | Death By Silver - Amy Griswold and Melissa Scott | Ned Mathey, Julian Lynes | I loved this book and I want more of what was already wonderful about it. To wit: I would love to read more about the magic and metaphysics of this universe -- and I would really love more romance, lots of happy sexy first times, perhaps some yearning followed by happiness, etc. (No particular rating / level of explicitness required -- whatever works for you will work for me.) I just love these two and their wonderful romantic dynamic, and I would love to read more of their adventures -- though I'd also be happy with basically curtainfic, e.g. the two of them being cozy and domestic. I'm also happy to get more of Miss Frost, who I think is totally awesome. | letter |
| Kass | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | I love these books so much. I would be thoroughly delighted by Cazaril/Betriz fic, or by Ista/Illvin fic, or by fic exploring Umegat and his theological history. If you're a Cazaril/Palliar fan, I can go there too, though I adore Betriz too so please don't diminish her. (I could go for Caz/Betriz/Palli, even!) Iselle/Bergon could be fun too. Or Umegat/groom, if that's your cuppa. Basically I love all of them. And I love the fascinating quintarian theology of these books, and I love the lovely romances. All I ask is that you give them happy endings one way or another. | letter | |
| Kass | Moonrise Kingdom (2012) | This movie is so beautiful and strange and hyperreal and surreal. And I love Sam and Suzy. I'd love to see Sam growing up with Captain Sharp; or Sam and Suzy's relationship as they grow up; or the two of them, all grown up, actually deciding to get married. Maybe they've been together all along. Maybe they split up for a while and found each other again. Whatever -- I just want more of them. (And a happy ending, please?) | letter | |
| Kass | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | Tybalt (Toby Daye), October "Toby" Daye | I would love to read more Toby/Tybalt. Special bonus for Tybalt in those leather trousers we briefly see him in, near the start of Chimes of Midnight. I would also dig either or both of them being flustered, goofy with happiness, and/or getting a bunch of well-deserved orgasms. Basically I want to roll around in happy Toby/Tybalt like a giant pile of Yuletide catnip. And if you could fit in a Shakespeare reference / quote or two, I would be in heaven. | letter |
| Kass | Guiness Wheelchair Basketball Commercial | The first time I watched this commercial it actually made me cry. First I thought: wow, that's so cool, it's a Guinness ad featuring wheelchair rugby / Murderball players! And then I realized: omg, better than that, it's a Guinness ad featuring guys who love their best friend so much that they're all learning a new sport just to be able to play with him. I would love to read the story behind this ad. Short, long, vignettes, whatever you've got. I love m/m romance so if that's the direction you want to go, go for it. I'm also a sucker for chosen family, and for circles of friends which operate like family, so that would make my day too. Basically... what's the backstory here? Who are these guys? Was their buddy always in a chair, or is this new? Anything you want to open up, I'll read. (Just -- happy ending, please. Emotional roller coaster is fine as long as our characters find some joy in the end.) |

| Kastaka | Laundry - Charles Stross | Dominique "Mo" O'Brien | Got an idea for a story in which Mo is awesome? Great, go and write that :-). If you need more inspiration - I am totally up for book events rewritten from her PoV, incidents from her specialist training, case fic, at home trying to recover from a mission... I just want to see her as a main character in her own right, as while the books do a pretty good job, they're still fundamentally about Bob, not about her :). | letter |
| Kastaka | The Culture - Iain M. Banks | Demeisen | GOU Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints | I <3 Demeisen - his casual offhand remarks, his entirely justified superiority complex, all the ways that being an Offensive Unit make a Mind slightly off-kilter in the mostly peace-loving Culture. I want to see what else he does - before or after Surface Detail! If you're looking for more inspiration - what happens in the future of Surface Detail when technology has moved on and it's time to transfer 'bodies' or be regraded? Was there some particular incident of Contact restraint in the past that gave Demeisen his poor opinion of them? | letter |
| Kastaka | Millennium Trilogy - Stieg Larsson | Erika Berger | I really want to see more of Erika - how things play out between her and Monica Figuerola, or how she got involved with Mikael in the first place, or what the magazine team get up to next... there are just so many angles left unexplored here :-). I'm happy with whatever extrapolation of the tangled relationships that the trilogy leaves us with that you want to explore - there are a lot of different ways it could go. | letter |
| Kastaka | Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey | AIVAS (Dragonriders of Pern) | A lot of Pern fanfic seems to want to sideline or ignore AIVAS, which I've always found rather a pity as AIVAS is such a fascinating character - and the effects of the knowledge brought to Pern by AIVAS are fascinating too. I'd love to see more of the Crafters interacting with AIVAS; how they cope with the revelations, how AIVAS teaches them, what it's like to be a journeyman assigned to Landing... Or maybe a piece from AIVAS' own point of view? | letter |
| Katarin | Women's Hockey RPF | Julie Chu (Women's Hockey RPF) | Julie Chu is my #1 reason for loving women's hockey. My #2 reason is because I love AMERICA! As such, I'm a HUGE Boston Blades fan! So anything about Julie Chu would be ACES! I'm also a huge, HUGE fan of Angela Ruggiero, Kelli Stack and Hilary Knight as well, so anything with them would be great too. | letter |
| Katarin | Women's Soccer RPF | Alex Morgan, Sydney Leroux | dney Leroux is basically EVERYTHING I love about women's soccer. I love what a flashy player she is, I love her passion, her drive, I love her gorgeous body and perfect face and what a GREAT AMERICAN she is! I would LOVE to read about her and Alex Morgan doing it all over. Set at any point, maybe during the CONCACAF or the Olympics or the World Tour after... hell, something set in Hawaii during Abby's wedding would ALSO be amazing. ANYTHING WITH SYD IS BASICALLY SOMETHING I'M GUARANTEED TO LOVE. | letter |
| Katarin | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | oh GOD, I'm just in LOVE with Abbie and Ichabod and how they interact on this show. They're basically my favorite thing. Anything that explores that (shuppy preferred, but anything, really) would be ACES! | letter |
| Katarin | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | John Connor (Sarah Connor Chronicles), Cameron Phillips | These two had SO MUCH sexual tension and I'd LOVE to see it explored some more! Shippy fic would be AWESOME! | letter |
| katayla | 16th Century CE RPF | Mary Tudor of France (16th Century CE RPF), Charles Brandon (16th Century CE RPF) | Woman falling in love with her brother's best friend! A secret relationship! Defying the odds! This is a real life relationship full of great tropes. I'd love to see a glimpse of them together at any point in their relationship. | letter |
| katayla | Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle | Zachary Gray | I've been re-reading this series with friends and I just . . . want to know Zachary ends up okay. I feel like we get to see a lot his journey towards being a better person, but we don't get all the way there. I'd love to see a glimpse of where he ends up. | letter |
| katayla | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | I love Joan and Sherlock's relationship so much. I don't think I want them together right now, but sometimes the show makes me imagine all kinds of shippy things. So I'd be into something set a little in the future where they're together and their case discussions include makeouts! But I also love their relationship as it is now. They're so close and they really are good for each other. Basically, I just want more of them! | letter |
| katayla | Kate Daniels - Ilona Andrews | Curran Lennart, Kate Daniels | This is similar to my Elementary request in that I just want more of this relationship! I love these two so much. I love how solid they are. I love how they've fought for their relationship and decided over and over again that they want to be together, despite any problems. I love how the thing that pisses Curran off most is Kate not talking to him. Anyway, just a slice-of-life fic would be great! Some happy moment between them. Feel free to take into the future. What does life look like them after Roland is defeated? | letter |
| katayla | Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - Ann Brashares | Lena Kaligaris, Paul Rodman | Remember Paul and Lena's awesome meeting in book 2? And all their great scenes in book 3? It seemed like it was going to be a lovely story of moving on from your first love and finding a new relationship. But instead, that story thread was completely dropped. It would make me very happy if you gave me a little Paul/Lena! Whether it's a getting together story or a glimpse of an established relationship, I just want to see what might have been. | letter |

| Katherine | Blood Books - Tanya Huff | Colin Heerkens | I'm fascinated by the werewolves met in _Blood Trail_ so would be thrilled with a story of Colin, particularly in the context of his family, at any point in his life including before or beyond what takes place in that book. I particularly enjoyed how at ease Colin seemed to be in plausible partial truths and turning away questions, such as the chapter eleven exchange "Man needs a place of his own. When'll you be moving out?" "When I feel suicidal enough to live on my own cooking." |
letter |
| Katherine | Blood Brothers - Russell | Linda (Blood Brothers) | I'd like to see more of Linda and her relationships. Possibilities: The three of them, she and Mickey and Eddie, at ages i-between the verses of "Summer Sequence". The start of her marriage to Mickey, something beyond the lines of Mickey's conversation with his mother ("Do you love her? When's the wedding then?") prior to the song "Take a Letter Miss Jones". Perhaps something drawing parallels between Linda and Mrs Johnstone. Grieving... the migh-hav-beens and regrets and imaginings. "Easy Terms" gets me every time, and the reprise running through "Light Romance": Loving on the never never Constant as the changing weather |
letter |
| Katherine | The Lost Prince - Frances Hodgson Burnett | The Rat (Lost Prince) | A story focused on the Rat, especially his past or his friendship and journeys with Marco. I feel the Rat's fealty as the most significant part of their relationship. I don't need to read these two as in a romantic or sexual pairing, but if that's what you feel wanting to write I certainly don't mind. I would be thrilled to get to read a story in which the Rat is a girl. The novel is on Project Gutenberg! http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/384 |
letter |
| Katherine | Sad Cat Diary (YouTube) | While I like this as pieces from the diary of many cats (and would adore if there's reference to "The authorities have closed the door to the bedroom" cat being a Sand Cat) if you would rather write something that joins them all together that is of interest too. | letter | |
| kathryne | The Good Wife (TV) | Alicia Florrick, Kalinda Sharma | ome of the stuff I am going to say is spoilery up to the most recent ep aired (5.03), so I will put that in my Dear Author letter. However, I'm really interested in a Kalinda/Alicia or Kalinda & Alicia story dealing with abandonment issues. I will keep up to date on the canon, so you can either do so as well or set it at some point this season, no worries! If you don't want to write that, I'd love a Kalinda-centric story about her past or her time at Lockhart Gardner, as long as it doesn't deal with her husband. | letter |
| kathryne | Defiance (TV) | Stahma Tarr, Kenya Rosewater | I would love to see more of the Stahma/Kenya relationship, particularly to go inside either of their heads throughout. A future fic would be interesting - is Kenya really dead? What happened in the woods? I would also love a Stahma-centric fic about pretty much any aspect of her life in Defiance. I didn't tag Amanda in this, but I'd love to see how stahma handles being around her knowing what's happened to Kenya. | letter |
| kathryne | Captain Marvel (Marvel) | Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), Jessica Drew (Captain Marvel) | I really just want a story about Jess and Carol kicking ass and taking names and being bros, or more-than-bros, or making fun of the Avengers. Generally, awesome ladies being awesome. I haven't tagged anyone else, but inclusion of more awesome ladies of Marvel, or even or awesome dudes of Marvel as supporting characters, would be loads of fun - I'm pretty up on everything movieverse and all sorts of random old-school Marvel, so feel free to include anything that doesn't shade into he hidden importance of dudes. More punching dinosaurs, less dudes, is my life motto here. | letter |
| kathryne | Bomb Girls | Lorna Corbett, Betty McRae | I love Lorna and Betty's not-quite-friendship. They both deal with so many hard things and change so much. Something about the two of them would be marvellous. I'd also love something about Lorna and her relationship to the girls and the factory and the war and her job (read "and" as "or" as you wish). Or something about Betty and any of her love interests/subtextual love interests. Future-fic would be fun too. Feel free to throw in any of the other characters, particularly Kate or Gladys, but I'd like the focus on one or both of my chosen two. | letter |
| KathsAvery | North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV | John Thornton, Margaret Hale | A wedding story or a steamy scene! | |

| KathsAvery | Persuasion - Jane Austen | Frederick Wentworth, Anne Elliot, Admiral Croft, Sophia Croft | ||
| KathsAvery | American Girls: Molly - Various Authors | Molly McIntire, Emily Bennett, Helen McIntire, James McIntire | I am requesting this fic for my daughter, who adores Molly. I don't expect to have this as my main gift, but a small Madness fic would be great! | |
| kattahj | The Fosters (TV 2013) | Stef Foster, Lena Adams | If you can, I'd like to see a fic about the early stages of their relationship, becoming a family, deciding to take in the twins, stuff like that. But present-time perspective on their relationship/family is great too! | letter |
| kattahj | Press Gang | Kenny Phillips | "Day Dreams" gave us a - rather bizarre - notion of the characters' future lives, but Kenny had already quit at that point. So I'd like a future Kenny. You can add as many or as few of the other characters as you wish, and make up entirely new futures for them if you don't like the one Lynda dreamed. | letter |
| kattahj | Twin Peaks | Audrey Horne, Dennis "Denise" Bryson | Anything with these two interacting would be great. If you can figure out a way to ship them, lovely. If you'd rather do gen, lovely. If you write me a fic where Audrey survives the finale (wounded or unscathed as you prefer), I'm ever so grateful. | letter |
| kattahj | Holes (2003) | Katherine Barlow, Sam (Holes 2003) | I'd like a nice quiet (or loud, what do I know?) moment with these two before everything goes to hell. Steamy, romantic or chaste, whichever you prefer. | letter |
| kattahj | Orphan Black (TV) | Sarah Manning, Felix Dawkins, Siobhan "Mrs. S" Sadler | I'd like a Mrs. S. POV fic about raising Sarah and Felix, either past or present time. As much or little conspiratory cloning weirdness as you like. | letter |
| kaydeefalls | Provost's Dog - Tamora Pierce | Beka Cooper, Farmer Cape | Beka/Farmer post-series. Anything and everything. Feel free to include any other characters you'd like as well -- Farmer's introduction to the Court of the Rogue could be a lot of fun. | letter |
| kaydeefalls | The Sting (1973) | Johnny Hooker, Henry Gondorff | Heists & hijinks! Anything goes. Could be slash, could be gen. I <3 plot most of all. | |
| kaydeefalls | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Marcus Bell | While I love that the show is purely non-romantic, I do ship me some Sherlock/Joan pretty hardcore. But gen is also good! Anything with these characters interacting in amusing ways. I'm also a big fan of Bell, and would be open to Joan/Marcus(/Sherlock) too, for a change of pace. | |
| kaydeefalls | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Captain Frank Irving, Jennifer Mills | Ichabod Crane's continuing adventures exploring the 21st century, if you please. (I do ship Ichabod/Abbie, but feel no obligation toward romance if that's not your thing. Friendship is fine.) | |
| kaydeefalls | Fire's Stone - Tanya Huff | Darvish (Fire's Stone), Aaron (Fire's Stone), Chandra (Fire's Stone) | The trio have another epic adventure. Darvish/Aaron + Chandra or OT3 them, don't care, but FRIENDSHIP above all. | |
| kaydeefalls | Millennium Trilogy - Stieg Larsson | Lisbeth Salander, Mikael Blomkvist, Miriam Wu | Anything post-series. I heart the weird friendship between Lisbeth and Mikael. I also heart Miriam an awful lot. And I ship any combo of the three, if that's your fancy. | |
| KayleeFrye | Being Human (UK) | Hal Yorke | Lord Henry Yorke welcomes the apocalypse with open arms. | letter |
| KayleeFrye | Dexter (TV) | Debra Morgan | AU/alternate ending where Deb lives and Dexter gets arrested. Would especially love for Deb to either arrest Dexter herself, or at least to play a significant role in his arrest! :) | letter |
| KayleeFrye | Orphan Black (TV) | I have a few prompts for my favourite OB characters (Amelia, Mrs. S., and Art) in my Yuletide letter, but am entirely open to other characters! :) | letter | |
| KayleeFrye | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary) | Bisexual Joan Watson and her relationship with Mary Morstan? <3 (Preferably not smut) | letter |
| keerawa | Longmire (TV) | Henry Standing Bear | One thing I love about this show is the way the race and racism actually exist in canon, and so do cultures other than mainstream Americana. So if that could be incorporated in the Yuletide story, I would be delighted. Henry doesn't need to be the narrator of the story, but please have him play a significant part! Prompt 1) A situation in which Henry is torn between his personal loyalty to his friend Walt and his loyalty to his community. Prompt 2) A story that incorporates Cheyenne spirituality in a respectful way. Prompt 3) A magical realism AU that has some spiritual or mystical conflict. I enjoy stories with with werewolves, vampires, fey, ghosts , etc. But if this were actually based on Cheyenne beliefs, rather than European, I would be thrilled beyond belief. Prompt 4) Walt and Henry as teenagers and best friends, maybe out camping together, talking about their hopes and dreams, and each finding out something surprising. Prompt 5) Following some difficult or traumatic event, several characters have nightmares, and we get to see them. Prompt 6) Absaroka County has apparently has the same homicide rate as NYC. I want someone (investigative reporter, FBI agent, conspiracy buff, your call) to try to figure out why! The crazier his or her ideas, the more fun I'll have with it! |
letter |
| keerawa | Ghost Soup Infidel Blue | Ghost Soup Infidel Blue is near and dear to me, but I feel like, between the live action fans and that insanity at Comic-con, the fandom's been taken over by teenage girls. So, seriously, enough with the high-school AUs, purple-haired Mary Sues, OOC rants, Angela-bashing, piss-poor spelling, and stories that have Luke as a malfunctioning sex-bot who helps Ryan find true love. (Yes, I got screen-caps of that one before she deleted it.) I'm not really a Red fan, and I'm trying to avoid Gold spoilers, so please stick with either classic or reboot Blue canon for my story. Prompt 1) I want a story that goes back to what made me fall in love with Ghost Soup Infidel Blue in the first place - exploration, team-loyalty, and the search for love and beauty under the shadow of the zaibutsu. It could be gen, from season one, or team poly, after they develop the Sex Drive in season 2. But, please, keep it tasteful and artistic, nothing over an R rating, and no tentacles beyond the canonical ones. Prompt 2) I've always been struck by the parallels between Moira's redemption arc and the classic Japanese legend of Amaterasu. I would be delighted if someone could write me a mitate story, simultaneously resolving both the legend and the GSIB canon, in which Moira returns/is reborn as the sun goddess. Prompt 3) The treatment of clones in GSIB has always bothered me. I'd like to see a story that seriously tackles the issues of violence, consent, and identity inherent in cloning that were never fully explored in canon. This is not a kink-fic request! Prompt 4) I know I said that I wanted to stick with Blue canon, but this is the ONE exception. If you wanted to write some epic story in which Angela uses the Portal to recruit members from ALL the different timelines, to save Moira, I would love to read it. In fact, you could bring back all of Team Alpha - I hate the way they were killed off in season 3. Yes, that would mean winning the Martian campaign, and completely change the Blue timeline - but what the Hell, if they can do it in canon, why can't we? |
letter | |
| keerawa | Banshee (TV) | I've also requested Longmire, and Banshee often strikes me as Longmire on crack. Everything about it is so extreme, from the violence to the plots to the characters. In fact, sometimes I feel like we are watching archetypes, rather than people, interact on the screen. It's like cartoons, anime, or some of those Chinese genre films. It's peculair, but I like it! So don't be scared of that aspect, or feel like you have to soften it to make the story more realistic. Prompt 1) Kai Proctor/Lucas Hood. This doesn't necessarily need to involve a sexual relationship, but I'd like something like those Chinese films that are all about the respect the protagonist and antagonist have for one another, even as they are destined to destroy each other. Prompt 2) Job/Anyone. Job is a fascinating character. I would love a story in which Job carefully considers all of the options before setting out to seduce the most promising of the local characters into bed. (I'm aware this can be problematic in a small town, but Job takes no shit from anyone. I'm genderqueer, and would prefer a story that wasn't focused on angst, woe, and transphobia.) If you can also have Job playing with gender cues, identity and roles, that would be fantastic! Prompt 3) Werewolf AU. Can you look at these characters and tell me they don't act like a wolf-pack?!? Prompt 4) I was fascinated by the way, in the finale, the entire sheriff's department walked into that shoot-out like they had combat experience. Now, in canon I think only Hopewell is a vet. But quite a few men and women from small towns end up serving, and then joining law enforcement. I would love a story from Siobhan's POV in which she served in Afghanistan, and that colors her actions and reactions to canonical characters and events. Prompt 5) Lili spent the past few months switching back and forth between different cultures, different identities. She ended the season in a very precarious position; shunned by her community, rejected by Hood, and dancing along the edge of sex and possessive violence with her Uncle Kai. Write me something from her point of view! |
letter | |
| keerawa | Dexter (TV) | Dexter Morgan | First, let me confess that I haven't finished the season yet! So please check my Dear Yulegoat Letter. There is a very good chance that I might have additional prompts or change my requests in some way. I've always enjoyed this show because the protagonist isn't 'normal'. Dexter's perceptions and reactions are atypical, and no matter how much he might pretend otherwise, to blend in, that will always be the case. So please don't make him just another guy (with a bloodthirsty hobby.) I like dark stories, so don't be afraid to bring it. Prompt 1) Deb/Dexter. When a show gives you canonical incest, it seems a damn shame not to fanfic it. Now I realize that this is wildly problematic for a variety of reasons. So maybe this is Deb fantasizing all by herself in bed, or just playing with some sparkly UST, or whatever you like. Prompt 2) In an earlier season, Deb basically being one of the guys back at Miami Metro, and gets involved in some stupid prank or drunken bet or something. Dexter is watching, trying to figure it out, and wondering if he needs to step in to protect her. Prompt 3) I always love the change in Dexter's body language from lab geek to predator. What if someone else sees it? Prompt 4) Cross-over time! Bring in law enforcement from some other show. CSI, Criminal Minds, Sherlock or Elementary, Highlander, something else? Or, for a really off-the-wall possibility, what if Dexter's dead Dad and Benton Fraser's dead Dad ended up interacting somehow? Prompt 5) Case-fic in which an unknown number starts texting Dexter with innocuous comments that make it clear the sender knows about his ... hobby. The comments seem to be approving rather than threatening, and Dexter has to figure out who might be sending them. |

| kelark59 | Common Law | Travis Marks, Wes Mitchell, Alex Mitchell, Jonelle (Common Law) | I like slash a lot, but I also like Jonelle and Wes (yes, as a couple, and yes, I know I'm the only one) and if it gets really fluffy, I LOVE friendship/bromance/gen/whatever the hell you want to call it. So write whatever you like and I will be thrilled to death. | letter |

| kendermaus | Thunderheart (1992) | Ray Levoi, Walter Crow Horse | No death fics please. I enjoy slash but it's not a "must have" (But there isn't enough slash or relationship fic out there for these two, just saying ::grin::.) I love the dynamics between these two. Poor Walter waiting his whole life to have the "connection" that Ray has to their heritage. Ray fighting against his past and trying to deny the very connection that Walter wouldn't mind having. Would love to see Walter comforting Ray after the events of the movie, or maybe something where Ray comes back to "see Grandfather" after a time away... while really there to check in on/with Walter. Maybe even something where Walter is a "touchstone" for Ray while Ray is traveling after the movie trying to come to terms with the events of the movie. Feel free to check out my LJ "dear author" post for addition info on me/what i enjoy reading. |

| kendermaus | The Equalizer | Mickey Kostmayer, Robert McCall | No death fics please. I enjoy slash but it's not a "must have" (But there isn't enough slash or relationship fic out there for these two, just saying ::grin::.) Mickey Kostmayer is one of the most complex and fascinating characters I've ever enjoyed watching (and trying to figure out what's going on in his head). My favorite ep of the series is where Mickey is kidnapped and his captors try and condition him to kill Robert McCall. In the end, Mickey's connection with Robert overcomes some pretty SERIOUS conditioning... and that to me said a LOT about the connection/relationship between these two enigmatic men. Would love to see Robert taking care of an injured Mickey (maybe after the above mentioned episode). Maybe a look at Mickey's view of his and Robert's connection/friendship/relationship. Maybe a look at Robert and Mickey's relationship from an outside POV (Robert's son, someone Robert has just helped, Control) - what does their friendship read to someone who doesn't know them? What about from someone who does - or thinks he/she does? I guess I'd really love to see Mickey get some tenderness for a change - even if he squawks about it at first or says he doesn't really need/deserve it. Just some suggestions - feel free to adjust as needed. |

| kendermaus | The Mummy Series | Ardeth Bay, Jonathan Carnahan | No death fics please. I enjoy slash but it's not a "must have" - though with these two i'd REALLY enjoy some pretty slash if possible. I enjoy a slightly befuddled Jonathan but NOT one that's written as a complete idiot and ne're do well. One of my favorite scenes between Jon and Ardeth is from the second movie where Jon saves Ardeth by shooting the bad guy coming up behind Ardeth. The look they share afterwards says so much. I see Jonathan as a good man who, when those he loves are at risk, will do anything to save them - but he also knows he's not the "smart" or "pretty" or "together" child (that's Evie) so he hasn't really found where he "fits" in the world. I'd love to see a fic where Ardeth helps Jonathan find his "fit" in the world. Where Ardeth somehow shows Jonathan his strengths, skills, worth, value (beyond money, his connection to Evie and Rick, etc). I'm a sucker for stories where Ardeth "courts" an oblivious Jonathan, or a Jonathan who thinks he's misreading Ardeth's actions because "why would *he* be interested in *me*?" However, a story where Jonathan helps Ardeth adjust to life outside the desert, or cares for an injured Ardeth/nurses an injured/ill Ardeth back to health. Maybe just a piece of one musing on the worth/attractiveness/interest in the other. As long as there's a strong/developing friendship between the two men and Jon isn't written as a COMPLETE airhead, i'll be happy. |

| kendermaus | Cadfael Chronicles - Ellis Peters | Brother Cadfael, Hugh Beringar, Aline Beringar | NO DEATH FIC PLEASE! NO turning Aline into a start raving shrew who makes Hugh choose between her and Cadfael. Would prefer an ending that has all three of them Happy, preferably together in a healthy, happy "family" type bond. I'm a bit of an odd duck in that i love the idea of the three of these in a relationship. Yes... THAT type of relationship (romantic/familial/poly triad). After reading "One Corpse Too Many" the idea that Hugh and Cadfael could be a romantic pair was just too... there (and it doesn't fade, for me anyway, through the rest of the books). Hugh and Cadfael would do anything for one another - and have in many instances. Then I hit the END of "One Corpse Too Many" - and the idea of Hugh and Aline and Cadfael just... FIT. And as you continue in the books you see that Cadfael is very much welcome into the Beringars' lives and, in fact, encouraged to come to them at any time. Now, I know that Cadfael's vows might/would keep him from "worldly pleasures", but as a man of the world and a man of the sword, I don't see him being adverse to physical and/or romantic relationships between men and/or "unusual" relationships. And I think Aline is the type of woman who wouldn't stand by and let the men in her life suffer/ignore the connection between them if she thought it would bring both of them peace/comfort. I would love to see something with Hugh and Aline caring for Cadfael. Maybe after he's come back from the Holy Lands and is debating returning to the Order, or before he leaves. Maybe in his caring for the ill, Cadfael is taken ill himself and Hugh brings him home uncertain how Aline will react. Or maybe Aline is the one who notices that Cadfael isn't as well/happy as he'd like everyone to believe and sets about making sure Cadfael knows just how much she and her husband love/value him. Maybe Hugh is taken ill and Aline calls for Cadfael and she sees for herself the love Cadfael has for Hugh - and tries to decide what she's going to do with the knowledge. Basically, I don't want an evil or dead/dying Aline, any "deathbed confessions of love", or "i love you but it can never be because of (x)" and parting in sorrow. I want something with Cadfael, Hugh and Aline being happy and sweet and tender with each other. A bit of Hurt/Comfort wouldn't be amiss either. And if you want to get explicit - feel free... but it's not necessary. feel free to check out my Dear Author letter (see link) for more insight into me. |

| kendermaus | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Peter Wimsey, Harriet Vane | No death fic please. This is perhaps my all time favorite book series and one of the ones i go back to time and again. Peter Wimsey is the ultimate "gentle soul" with the heart of a tiger and the protective instincts of a mother bear about those he cares for. His courtship and winning of Harriet Vane is a romance that feels so... real and heartfelt. I love it. As a side note - i'm also a firm believer in a Peter/Harriet/Bunter poly relationship - but that's beside the point. So I would love Bunter to be included because for me, Bunter is such a part of the stories - but, since he's not a nominated character, it's not something that HAS to be included. There are some interesting cannon stories where Bunter isn't involved, so that's okay too. ::grin:: I would love to see some gentle, tender affection between this pair. After Harriet finally accepts, before the wedding, after the insanity that is "Busman's Honeymoon", after their children are born... any of the above or whatever you, as the writer, deem appropriate. Maybe Peter taking care of a pregnant Harriet. Peter being there to soothe Harriet's nerves as they plan the wedding. Maybe Harriet's reactions during or after soothing Peter through his bout of nerves at the end of "Busman's Honeymoon"... or after some other case (or even after just a Bad Day). Maybe just a "day in the life" of the pair, before children, after children, while Harriet's pregnant... or while she been trying to GET pregnant (or while Peter's dealing with his fear of GETTING Harriet pregnant after the birth of their first child). Sweet, tender, loving interactions between a very unconventional, but beautifully suited to one another, husband and wife. |

| kerlin | Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey | Lessa (Dragonriders of Pern) | Would love anything between the two of them, really at any point in the series. Interactions, introspections, reflections - what have you. Doesn't have to be romantic but I do ship them so would rather they not be with others. Bonus for any interaction with their dragons and for administrivia giving someone a headache. | letter |

| kerlin | The Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Orczy | I am a hardcore romantic where Percy and Marguerite are concerned, and anything with them working as a smart, savvy team would be great, anything where Percy has to swap between the fop and the Pimpernel, bonus points for Marguerite losing her temper. | letter | |

| kerrypolka | Twelfth Night - Shakespeare | Sebastian (Twelfth Night), Viola | Cesario (Twelfth Night) | I'd love to hear more about Viola and Sebastian's sibling relationship, either before or after the shipwreck (or both!). I wrote a little bit about how I see them here - http://www.planestrainsandplantagenets.com/2013/10/viola-sebastian-illyria-sea-people-land-people/ - but feel free to use or not use any of this - I'm just really interested in how they relate to each other. | letter |
| kerrypolka | Much Ado About Nothing - Shakespeare | Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing), Don John (Much Ado) | o in the 2006 RSC production, they did this genius thing at the masked ball where Beatrice and Don John both hung back rolling their eyes, and then Beatrice lit Don John's cigarette and they clearly started grousing about what idiots everyone else is before Benedick came over and pulled her away. I would like to read about Beatrice And Don John Hanging Around In The Back Smoking And Making Fun Of Everyone please. They could also make out or have sex behind a hedge or something while Benedick makes sad faces in the foreground (I love Benedick but still). |
letter |
| kerrypolka | Jewish Scripture & Legend | Michal (Tanakh) | I'm really interested by her young adulthood and how self-confident and brave she is, hiding David from her father and (according to midrash) wearing tefillin - and how that all falls apart in pieces. I really want to believe that she and David were in love early on in their story; I'd love to read about the way their relationship degrades as David's star rises and Michal tries to get on with her life. |
letter |
| kerrypolka | Macdonald Hall - Gordon Korman | Bruno Walton Cathy Burton | o I think it would be hilarious if Cathy and Bruno ended up in an accidental (or sham) marriage. I'm not bothered how the pairings end up (I mostly see Bruno/Boots as endgame, but I am seriously not fussed about who kisses whom) - I just think literally everything about this situation would be hilarious. If that doesn't work for you, anything about CATHY CATHY CATHY FLOWER OF MY HEART: as prime minister, getting pap snapped with Prince Harry and bringing down the British monarchy, seriously whatever. |

| Khantael | Deadly Premonition | Red Seeds Profile | Francis York Morgan (Deadly Premonition), Emily Wyatt, George Woodman | I'd like to see what George and Emily are doing on one of those occasions where York takes them to a crime scene, then ditches them outside and goes off inside. What if they followed him inside, what would they see? (That would be really interesting actually!) Do they hang out outside and talk? Do they wander off and do other things? What do they make of York's attitude? What do they think is going on inside? If those prompts don't really sound like your cup of tea, I'm happy with any story about these three characters - I just enjoyed their dynamic! My letter has details of general likes and dislikes. |
letter |
| Khantael | The Cat Lady (Video Game) | Susan Ashworth, Mitzi Hunt | What I'd be particularly interested in is a Mitzi POV story, particularly if it's at some point during the game. If you think about it, lots of what Susan does must seem particularly inexplicable. The obvious and most fun example would be when Susan seems to just go out for a while then calls Mitzi asking for how to make the poison gas and saying she'd been kidnapped. I'd love a Mitzi POV of that scene! There are other candidates too, like Mitzi breaking into the flat and walking in on an overdosed Susan. If you're not comfortable with that, I'd also like to see what happens after the game. Does Mitzi stay with Susan? Is their friendship still there? Is Mitzi's health still deteriorating, what does that do to their relationship? Gen preferably. :) My letter has details of general likes and dislikes. |

| Khantael | Curse Workers Series - Holly Black | Desi Singer, Cassel Sharpe | I would like to see some of Cassel hanging out with his grandfather! I always wanted to see more of this in the books. It could be set at any point during the books, or after them. It could be a family occasion, it could be a POV scene (I love those!) - a good one might be during the end of White Cat where he thinks Cassel doesn't have his memory. Alternately, it would be really interesting to hear his thoughts on Cassel pre or early series, when Cassel still thinks he has no magic. I'd have loved to see character thoughts about that in the book, but since it's all in Cassel's POV it doesn't really end up happening. If none of those sound appealing, any scenario that involves the two of them hanging out in whatever capacity is fine for me. My letter has details of general likes and dislikes. |
letter |
| Khantael | Warchild Series - Karin Lowachee | Jos Musey, Yuri Kirov | I'd be interested in seeing how Jos and Yuri interact post-Cagebird. Any scenario that you like: casual hangout, running into each other in the corridor, discussing their mutual past. Whether it's a friendship building or hostility - I'm just really interested in seeing your take on it! Alternately: What would happen if Jos and Yuri were on the Khan at the same time and met? (Or were they? I always get my timelines utterly confused in this series!) How would they interact? Would it change how one or both of them grew up? I suppose it would, since Falcone only has one protege at a time... Gen fic would be preferable. My letter has details of general likes and dislikes. |

It's just that I went into the team from the angle of Cassie, so... yeah. But some ideas, other than general adventures/interactions, might include fix-it fic - recovering any or all team members - or even how what the team did affected people. On a limb: Kristoff Vernard... and coping with the idea that his father killed his one-time crush... | letter |

| kindkit | King Rat - James Clavell | Sean Jennison, Steven (King Rat) | We never see Sean and Steven interact in canon, which saddens me. I'd love a story with friendship, or at least queer solidarity, between them. A fix-it for what happens to Sean at the end of the novel would be welcome if you feel so inspired. I'd strongly prefer that there be no sex or romance between these characters, since Steven is gay and Sean is a trans* woman. | letter |
| kindkit | Biggles Series - W. E. Johns | James "Biggles" Bigglesworth | When we first meet Biggles in "The White Fokker," he's showing the stress of war: he's always unconsciously fidgeting with his tunic fastening and he's got "an irritating little falsetto laugh" that he can't seem to suppress. I'd love a story with this Biggles rather than the imperviously heroic Biggles of the later books. A story where he actually develops shell-shock or "war neurosis" would be great, or if you want to keep things a little lighter, a story where his nerves drive him into one of his ridiculously dangerous adventures would be very welcome too. So would a character study or a friendship or slash story in which Algy tries to comfort and look after him. A crossover with the BBC series Wings or with Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy (I don't know if Craiglockhart historically treated RFC officers, but it's a cool premise) would be lovely if you feel so inclined. I should note that although Biggles's thwarted affair with Marie Janis is canonically the cause of his near-breakdown at the end of The Camels Are Coming, I'd prefer a story that didn't focus on that. | letter |
| kindkit | The Charioteer - Mary Renault | Bim Taylor | Bim only appears in one scene, but in a few short pages he subverts The Charioteer's mostly negative depiction of camp and/or feminine gay men. Bim is camp and a war hero, and I'd love any story that shows both sides of his character. It would be fascinating to see him in an RAF context: does he tone down the camp then, or is he, as some men historically were, happily outrageous? Is he friends with the other men in his squadron, and do they know he's gay? Is he part of a gay circle in the RAF? Does he see his camp social self as separate from his almost iconically masculine role as a fighter pilot, or are they a continuity for him? If the RAF side of things doesn't interest you, seeing Bim's friendships or socializing with other gay men during the war would also be great, as would backstory. Feel free to bring in other characters from the novel, but I'd prefer that Bim's unrequited love for Ralph not be the main focus. You can certainly mention it, but I think there's a lot more to him than this bit of private unhappiness. | letter |
| kindkit | Colditz (1972) | George Brent | You could go two ways with this request: you could actually write about George (I love him!) or you could background him and focus on just about any other character (I love most of them too!). My favorite thing about George, if you want to write about on him, is that he's not a fearless, heroic escaper. He's neurotic, pessimistic, nervous, depression-prone, and sensitive, and he's also witty and artistically gifted. I'd be thrilled to receive something that explores him in more depth than canon could manage, whether it's backstory, futurefic, a slice-of-Colditz-life story, etc. I should note that although George is canonically married, I read him pretty definitely as gay. Gen fic that doesn't get into sexuality would be absolutely welcome if you don't want to take the character in that direction, but I'd prefer not to get a het pairing story about George. On the slash side, I find him shippable with almost everyone except Phil Carrington, of whom I'm not especially fond. If you want to focus on someone else, I'd be happy with a story about any of the regulars except Phil Carrington (this includes the German characters--I really like the Kommandant and Ulmann, and I'm fascinated in a horrified way by Mohn if you want to try your hand at him), or about the more interesting minor characters such as Larry Page or Harry Turner. |

| kindkit | Endeavour (TV) | Fred Thursday | Thursday is a solid, stable mentor, but occasionally the canon hints at a lot more complexity, and I'd love to see that explored. Backstory about Thursday's experiences during the Second World War (he would have seen some bitter combat during the Italian campaign) or after the war as he readjusts to civilian life would be great. I'd also be delighted with Endeavour-era fic that includes Morse. I find their emotional back-and-forth compelling, with Thursday offering closeness and Morse sometimes accepting and sometimes unwilling (unable?) to accept. Slash would be very welcome, but so would an exploration of Thursday as a substitute father (or both--pseudo-incest is cool with me!). | letter |
| kindkit | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Peter Wimsey | Peter's contradictions, oddities, and lingering trauma fascinate me, and I'd be happy with any story that explores more of his character. A few suggestions: something about his war experiences or his shell-shock, or a case that has some kind of strong resonance for him, or a pure character study, or something about his relationship with his mother or with his friend Charles Parker. I'm extremely fond of Bunter, so if you wanted to write about Peter and Bunter (including slash, if you like), that would be lovely. I'd also be intrigued to read something about the gap between Peter's privileged status and the economic and social upheavals of the 20s and 30s--the kind of thing that The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club touches on. I would prefer that any story you write for me not include Peter/Harriet romance, but if you wanted to write an AU in which Peter and Harriet are platonic friends, that would be great. | letter |
| kinetikatrue | Heard on the Subway: Talking About Your Gay Son (blog post) | Pat (Talking About Your Gay Son), Patrick Jr. (Talking About Your Gay Son), John (Talking About Your Gay Son), Charlie (Talking About Your Gay Son) | o, the main thing I would like out of a fic for this is dad POV about Pat and Charlie being good dads to their gay sons - maybe not having it be easy, but really, genuinely trying and having that matter. The field's pretty wide open as far as where you could go with that and make me happy. However, if you want to go even further and accept my headcanon for this, then I refer you to the University of Rochester YellowJackets and their version of the Taylor Swift song You Belong WIth Me, which I fanwanked in as back-story immediately on reading the post. That part's totally not essential, though. |

| kinetikatrue | Bad Boy - Diana Wieler | A.J. Brandiosa, Tulsa 'Tully' Brown | What would it take to get A.J. to a place where he would want Tully to break his promise? How would the two of them make things work? Can any of this happen while they continue to play hockey? Or does A.J. need to do something like go to university or get a job in a more liberal part of the country before anything can change? Is Biology a path he could follow in one of those directions? Would they be open with their families about this? How would their families react? Related to that last, I do ask that if you include Summer as a character, you make her as real and awesome as she is in the book and not discount A.J.'s feelings about her as a teenager, however he may feel about her in the future. And just in case it provides any inspiration, I link you to this Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Students Constituency report to the Canadian Federation of Students from 1992: http://www.studentunion.ca/cfs/1992/1992-11-misc-cttereports.pdf |

| kinetikatrue | Word World (TV) | Sheep (Word World) Bear (Word World) | What I'm really hoping for out of this is for them to have an 'adult' adventure - which is to say, yes, I would not mind at all getting to proactively ruin some childhoods, here! Seriously, if you, like I, have spent more time than you maybe would have chosen to watching this show: isn't it just asking to be taken to kinky places? Don't those letters just cry out to be turned into sex toys? Or how about exploring the world of pervertibles... ...I would note, though, that if you go the kinky route, it doesn't HAVE to be a sexual kink thing, if that doesn't work for you. And if you wanted to interpret 'adult' in some other non-sexual/non-kinky way, I would also be open to that. Just let your imagination go wild!

| kinetikatrue | Hopeless Savages | Zero Hopeless-Savage, Ginger Kincaid | Tell me about what it's like for Zero to be a music biz legacy now that she's left home to...study film in college? Tour with the Dusted Bunnies? Do something else entirely? What do the press think of her? Is touring all it's cracked up to be? And what's it all doing to her various relationships? I put Ginger down as a requested character, because I really do like him with her and hope they have a chance of it, but if your muse takes you places that don't end in happily ever after for the two of them, that really is fine, too. Mainly, I'd like to see something that ends hopefully for Zero, whatever else may happen along the way. | letter |
| kinky_kneazle | Young Avengers | Noh-Varr (Young Avengers), America Chavez (Young Avengers), Kate Bishop (Young Avengers) | I really like Noh-Varr/Kate Bishop together, and would be seriously interested in Kate/America or even the three of them all in together. The further adventures of the Young Avengers travelling through different realities would be fun. Having them turn up in our world and discover their doubles doing normal things like university or running a nightclub. Coffee shop, college, or dog walker AU would be cool. Or just straight porn. I'd read straight porn. | letter |
| kinky_kneazle | Dirty Dancing (1987) | Frances "Baby" Houseman, Johnny Castle | I know this is a love story for the ages and I do love Baby and Johnny together, but I never thought it was terribly realistic. I mean, what happens next? Does Baby give up her dreams of the Peace Corps to be a dance instructor's wife? Does Johnny follow Baby to South-East Asia to build schools? Do they settle into an ordinary life that drags Baby down? Are they one of the first couples to have the man staying home minding the kids while the wife goes off to work? And how do those decisions affect them? I would love anything that looks at what happens after the happily ever after — happy, sad, neutral, Baby reading too much of The Feminine Mystique — hell, Johnny reading The Feminine Mystique! If that's not your cup of tea, then a more detailed look at their night together would be fun, some sort of weird AU — coffee shop, superhero, regency, college — or a piece about them going back to their separate lives after the summer. |

| kinky_kneazle | Captain America (Comics) | Jet Black Zola, Ian Rogers | I've been reading the latest (Marvel Now) series of Captain America and kinda fell in love with Young Ian. And then when Sharon shot him I almost cried on the bus. I couldn't believe they would do that to him. And to Steve! Then they were talking about someone leading the Phrox and I thought for sure Sharon had survived, but it wasn't, it was IAN!!! And then I did cry on the bus. But I want more of him. MORE! I'd love to see him make it back to Earth, and see the blue sky for the first time. Doing something suitably heroic, of course. Seeing his Dad (Cap) again would be awesome. Sibling fic with him and Jet Black wondering the streets of New York seeing the sites equally cool. Or fic about him leading the fight against Zola would be awesome. If you want to pair him with someone, I like the Young Avengers — all of them — and would not mind slash or het. Please no incest or pairing Ian with Sharon Carter. |

| kinky_kneazle | Werewolf: The Apocalypse | Mari Cabrah, Jonas Albrecht | First off, I will actually take any story set in the W:TA World of Darkness. If you have characters that had some awesome adventures and want to write about them for the whole world to read, I will totally read them. If you have a character that you created and then the game fell apart and you always wanted to know what they'd do, I would totally read that story. If, however, you're looking for characters from that world, then Mari and Albrecht's forbidden love as they struggle to uphold the Litany despite how much they want each other would be wonderful. Or a story about their history — the quest for the Silver Crown, something about the first time they met when they were still cubs and didn't know they'd ever be anything to each other, it's all good. Please, no Evan. Sorry, I just never really liked the guy. | letter |
| kinky_kneazle | Singin' in the Rain (1952) | Cosmo Brown, Don Lockwood, Kathy Selden | I really love Cosmo and it always upset me that he ended up alone. He had such great chemistry with Don, but I love Don and Kathy together as well, so the only solution? Threesome! Would love something where he's the odd friend who lives with them and everyone wonders when he's going to grow up and get his own place, but really they're all living happily (and sexily) together. How they got there would be interesting, or even a slice of life. Maybe Cosmo is sleeping with Don and Kathy separately and all three of them know but no one talks about it. Am I really going to suggest and AU again? Yeah, I am. Something modern or almost modern would be cool — put them in the 70s or 80s dealing with free love and Cosmo being in the closet. | letter |
| kissoffools | The Maze Runner Series - James Dashner | Thomas (Maze Runner), Newt (Maze Runner) | One of the things I liked best about the Maze Runner series was that, through all the hell these teenagers were put through by WICKED, they still managed to form bonds and see the good in each other. I really felt that with Thomas and Newt - the two respected each other and treated each other well, despite all the mayhem they were a part of. There was a loyalty there, and I loved that. I'd love fic that touches on the way their friendship grew and changed over the course of the series. I'd especially love fic set during The Death Cure, with the two of them dealing with the newfound challenges, changes and shocks that came up for them at WICKED Headquarters. (Trying to mince words here, for fear of accidentally providing spoilers!) I also really like Minho and Teresa, so they're welcome in the fic, too! There's lots more information and some spoiler-filled prompts in my letter, so please check it out! | letter |
| kissoffools | Kill Your Darlings (2013) | Allen Ginsberg (Kill Your Darlings), Lucien Carr (Kill Your Darlings) | Kill Your Darlings took the idea of romantic interest between Allen Ginsberg and Lucien Carr - something only alluded to in most other Beat generation media - and made it completely believable. The two absolutely had chemistry, and it was so easy to see why Allen was infatuated with Lu - he was this godlike figure who was actually tangible, and he opened Allen's life up to more than he'd ever thought possible. The bitter ending of their dynamic in the film broke my heart, and I refuse to believe that Lu didn't have feelings for Allen, too. I'd love to see something that explores their relationship and dynamic further, and elaborates on Lu's complicated feelings for Allen. Something where Lu gives in to his feelings and allows himself to see how much better things could be, where he lets Allen save him in return, would be really fantastic. Feel free to include Kammerer and the other Beats from the film! And please check out the prompts & rambling in my letter! | letter |
| kissoffools | Our Deal - Best Coast (Music Video - Extended) | Veronica - Night Creeper, Lucky - Day Trotter | The Our Deal extended music video tells a mini story in about ten minutes, and it's a story I'd love to see expanded! The whole thing had a bold, kitschy style that I really dug. I thought Veronica and Lucky were really sweet together - the montage of them spending time together and falling in love was wonderful - and they got too sad of an ending. :( The idea of the Night Creepers and the Day Trotters is really interesting to me, too. I'd love to see fic where the rival gangs are maybe elaborated on a bit more - to see what they're really fighting for, and maybe even how they started! I'd love to see the star-crossed lovers dynamic played up, to see their personalities more firmly established, and to see the moments where Veronica and Lucky really fell in love with each other. Something to give them a happy ending, too, would be more than welcome! It's hard to write about a music video fandom, but I've done my best to give more details and specifics in my letter! | letter |
| kissoffools | One Day - David Nicholls | Emma Morley, Dexter Mayhew | One of the coolest things about One Day, I think, is the way it tells the story of two people over large chunks of time. You get to watch them grow up and watch the way their relationship and dynamic changes based on their surroundings. I really related to Emma in this story, in a lot of ways, and complicated male-female friendships are things I love reading about. So much about their dynamic was relatable and rang true to me, and I'd love to see more of it. Specifically, I'd love to see more about the two of them their first few years out of university, when Dexter's career is taking off and Emma is stuck, frustrated, working as a waitress. I'd love to see them navigate the ins and outs of their friendship on a daily basis during those years - how they discover that, despite everything going on in their lives, they still need each other fiercely. Whether or not they get together then (instead of later in life) is totally up to you! There's a ton of rambling and prompts for this one in my letter. :) | letter |
| kissoffools | The Internship (2013) | Stuart (The Internship), Neha Patel | One of my favourite parts of The Internship was all the hints at the budding relationship between Stuart and Neha. I love that, while they both have a love and understanding of technology, they're both very different people. I loved the way they'd bicker and kind of tease each other, and that the ending hinted at them going out of their way to stay in touch and see each other. I'd love to see more of their story! Either something about the time the two of them spent together at Google during their internship, or something about their senior year of college before going back to work together, would be amazing. I'd love to see them going out of their way to slowly get to know one another and to find out that they have more common ground than they'd initially expected. Their whole team from Google were a lot of fun, so including them (especially Lyle and Nick) would be welcome, too! There's a ton of rambling and prompts in my letter, so please check it out! | letter |
| kitsunealyc | Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare | Oberon (Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare), Puck (Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare) | For loves, squicks, and prompts, please see my LJ post.

| Kleenexwoman | Agent Pendergast Series - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child | Aloysius Pendergast, Vincent D'Agosta, Diogenes Pendergast, Corrie Swanson | I'm OK with slash and/or incest for this fandom. (Further details in letter, I promise.) | letter |
| Kleenexwoman | Rope (1948) | Phillip Morgan, Brandon Shaw, David Kentley, Rupert Cadell | ||
| Kleenexwoman | The Magicians - Lev Grossman | Quentin Coldwater, Eliot (The Magicians), Julia (The Magicians), Penny (The Magicians) | ||
| Kleenexwoman | Pleasantville (1998) | I didn't choose characters because I like it as an ensemble movie :/ Er, see letter. | letter | |
| Kleenexwoman | Rebel Without a Cause (1955) | Jim Stark, Judy (Rebel Without A Cause), John "Plato" Crawford, Buzz Gunderson | Would prefer slash. See letter. | letter |
| Klitch | Chihayafuru | Komano Tsutomu, Oe Kanade | Anything with these two interacting would be awesome, be it shippy or just friendship, preferably on the fluffy and cute side of things. | |
| Klitch | 7 Seeds | I'd like to see something focusing on Team Summer B, especially Natsu. Everybody bonding together and just being cute -- like how they had the talent show in canon, just a moment of them dealing with everyday life. Some action is fine, but preferably something that could fit within canon (no character death or maiming, etc). | ||
| Klitch | Havemercy Series - Jaida Jones & Danielle Bennett | Thom (Havemercy), Rook (Havemercy) | omething hurt/comfort-ish, maybe with Thom being hurt and Rook dealing (or not dealing, depending on how you want to write it :P). Preferably non-romantic interaction, more brotherly than shippy. | |
| Klitch | Nabari no Ou | Meguro Gau, Shimizu Raikou | Pre-series focusing on when Raikou first saved Gau and brought him into Kairoushuu would be great or anything dealing with their day-to-day life as Wakachi and how Raikou feels about bringing Gau into it. Super protective Raikou is also nice. | |
| kmo | House of Cards (US TV) | Francis Underwood, Claire Underwood | I love Machiavellian characters and I love a marriage between equals, so you can understand how a power couple like Frank and Claire hit all my narrative kinks. I would really love a fic that explores the dynamics of their very unique marriage. My favorite episode from s1 was the one where Frank's bisexuality was revealed- I thought that was a daring moment for the show. It seems like the Underwoods have an open marriage that is built on great mutual admiration and respect. If you felt like writing something smutty or kinky, it would be great to see what they're like together when things really heat up! Bonus points for femdomme!Claire. | letter |
| kmo | Mathnet | Kate Monday, George Frankly | Mathnet was prime time viewing for me as a 9 year old nerd. I loved and still loved that the show was willing to be both smart and silly. Kate was always my favorite and I was sad when she left the show, but I really grew to love Pat as well. I'd love to know why Kate left Mathnet as the show never gave us an explanation. Did she move on to bigger and better things- working as a mathematician at the FBI? Did she have unrequited feelings for her partner George that became too difficult to deal with? It might also be fun to see Kate reunite with George (and Pat too!) for some crime solving fun. Casefic would be wonderful if you feel up to it, especially if you can work in some math for old time's sake. As far as shipping go, I do kind of ship Kate/George in an UST way, but would prefer not to read a story where George cheats on his wife. I could definitely be down with Kate/Pat, though. |
letter |
| kmo | The Sopranos | Jennifer Melfi | Melfi is one of my favorite characters of all time and I'd love to read any story that focuses on her and her relationship with Tony. It can be gen or het though something that explores the UST dynamic between Melfi and Tony would probably be my preference. The thing I admire most about her is that though she is complicit in her own way with Tony's crimes, she is the only one he never corrupted. So a missing scene from a season one or two episode or even a post-series fic that deals with how she reacted to the events of the finale would really be my cup of tea. I enjoy the canonical dynamics of their relationship, but wouldn't mind if you made the UST between Melfi and Tony into "resolved sexual tension." My only major Do Not Want for them is an AU where she tells him about Jesus Rossi. Melfi's "no" was such a powerful moment for her character and I wouldn't want her to lose that. |
letter |
| kmo | Wise Child Series - Monica Furlong | Wise Child (Wise Child), Juniper (Wise Child) | This is another childhood favorite of mine. I love the family of choice that exists between Juniper and Wise Child and the mentor/apprentice, mother/daughter aspects of their relationship. Since we get Wise Child's POV in the book, it would be great to view their relationship from Juniper's perspective. Juniper really has always intrigued me. She apparently was once in love with Wise Child's father who through her over for the evil and selfish Maeve. Yet, she never seemed to find another partner. Did Juniper have a longing for motherhood and for Finbar's daughter in particular? How did she work through Finbar's rejection to become the mature and wise figure we meet in Wise Child's narrative? I have read all of the books including Colman. I didn't really care for Colman the book (though I like Colman the character)- so something set between Juniper and Wise Child, or during the events of Wise Child would be my preference. |

| knitmeapony | Valentine (2008) | Ray (Hephaestus) is my actual absolute favorite, and Ray and Grace is my OTP. But really, anything to add to the beautiful canon of that show is a bonus. | letter | |
| knitmeapony | Lost Girl | Hale (Lost Girl), The Morrígan (Lost Girl), Vex (Lost Girl), Kenzi (Lost Girl) | Hale is my bb and I will love him forever, and he and Kenzi are so lovely together. I'd also love Vex and the Morrigan being their usual amazing ridiculous snarky badass selves. But mostly I love Hale. Moar history. Stories of him growing up. Stories of him solving crimes, alone or with Dyson. Just. All of Hale. |
letter |
| knitmeapony | Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman | Glinda the Good (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman) Fiyero Tiggular (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman) Elphaba Thropp (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman) | One of my true, deep OT3s. Give them a happy ending, find a way for Elphaba and Fiyero to smuggle Glinda away. Find them away to return in secret. Find them a way to have just one lovely night together. | letter |
| knitmeapony | Justice League & Justice League Unlimited (Cartoons) | Shayera Hol (Justice League Cartoon), Wally West (Justice League Cartoon), John Stewart (Justice League Cartoon), J'onn J'onzz (Justice League Cartoon) | JLU was one of my first fandoms. There's not nearly enough fic of the ladies, but any of the above would be lovely. | letter |
| Kol | Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey | Robinton | Robinton is by far my favorite character. I love his whole story and would love more of it. Something when he is young in the hall, or his friendship with F'lon, or his trip with his mom. Maybe the first year of his rule as MasterHarper. If that really isn't your thing, then something from later in his career. Perhaps his POV on some aspect of Menolly's training? His time in Landing? Turning over the reins to Sebell? Just give me more Robinton please! | |
| Kol | The Immortals - Tamora Pierce | Veralidaine Sarrasri (Immortals), Onua Chamtong (Immortals) | I would love to see something more with these two. I loved their relationship in the first book and just want more! Missing scene from the book? Another trip later? Though Daine is a magelet now, if Onua doesn't have a new apprentice by the next time she has to travel, she might just convince Numair that's its a "teaching experience" for Daine to go with her. ;) | letter |
| Kol | Allstate Insurance "Mayhem" Commercials | Mayhem (Allstate Insurance) | I love him so much! And I love that he's in Yuletide! I'd love something in the style of the commercials, with him narrating some crazy thing that he's doing that is going to be trouble. Keeping to the tone of the original would be awesome and sqeeful! | letter |
| Kol | Wreck-It Ralph (2012) | Wreck-It Ralph, Vanellope von Schweetz | This movie is one of my new favorites! I love the crazy friendship between Vanellope and Ralph, and I'd love to see their lives after the movie. Since she can now control her glitch, can she come to other games? Or is she stuck in her own still? How do all of the Sugar Rush denizens deal with the restoration of their memories and her reinstatement as their leader? I love her threat of execution to the others - in that line, what kinds of hijinks do she and Ralph plan? Alternatively, a story digging a little deeper into Ralph's side of the epilogue. What was it really like moving in those other game characters? Whose idea was it? How did the Nicelanders take it? Or whatever you think of. | letter |
| Kol | Hellboy (Movies) | Hellboy | My favorite character here is Hellboy, with a little Liz and Abe on the side. Please give me something like the first movie. Hellboy being Hellboy and the others accepting him with fond exasperation. Hijinks and Shenanigans and awkwardly wooing Liz and failing to hide from the public and just doing his job are all awesome. Not a huge emphasis on Meyers or the second movie characters, please. | letter |
| Kol | IT Crowd | Maurice Moss | I adore Moss. I'm charmed by his unbelievable genius coupled with his utter inability to interact with the world in a normal way. His odd notions, fantastic deadpan reactions, and absolute geekiness are all wonderful. Any office shenanigans with Roy and Jenn (and Richmond) would be great. | letter |
| Kolamity | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | The Luidaeg (Toby Daye), Amandine (Toby Daye) | The October Daye Series has many strengths, but one of my favorite is all the incredibly powerful women running around and the hints to the mysteries they share woven around Toby's narrative. The series hints to a rich backstory between Amandine and the Luidaeg-- so how about a scene that speaks to that history? What was their relationship like in the past? What did Amandine do to her daughter that was so upsetting to the Luidaeg? | letter |
| Kolamity | Arrow (TV 2012) | John Diggle (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV), Oliver Queen (Arrow TV) | I love the relationship between the three characters-- if you want to take it as an OT3 or a take on a found family, I would love either very much. My one request is please don't forget Dig! Fandom has a habit of pushing him to the side to focus instead on Felicity and Oliver, but there's a wealth of untapped potential in John that could make for a very fun story to write :D. | letter |
| Kolamity | New Amsterdam | John Amsterdam, Eva Marquez | The narrative is centered around John finding "the one," but the show ended before it could be revealed just who would help John break his curse. I have a head canon that Eva would eventually be revealed as just that, so how how about a fic that shows how it happens? Does it have to be a true love that breaks the curse, or can it just be finding a life partner that finally understands you? | letter |
| Kolamity | The Pretender | Miss Parker, Jarod (the Pretender) | Not sure how The Pretender snuck into Yuletide, but I couldn't resist requesting two of my most formative TV characters! Miss Parker is this brilliant, choleric, chain smoking woman who, due to the constrains of the narrative, fails to bring in her man across four seasons and two movies— yet this speaks more to how freakishly good Jarod is than any blight on Miss Parker's skills. And Jarod, even as giant and compassionate as his heart is, can be a massive dick, particularly to those he feels need to be punished to learn a lesson. The Centre fucked both Miss Parker and Jarod over in different ways neither seems able to develop beyond, yet cannot entirely cut their ties from. Between the two is a tumult of feelings— betrayal, regrets, and buckets of UST. This is a narrative ripe for exploring wherever the creativity takes you— perhaps an AU where it is Miss Parker as the pretender on the run, or a 10 years later take where Jarod has gone dark/launching the narrative into modern day, or exploring one of the many mysteries the show was cancelled before the show runners could work in a reveal for. | letter |
| Kolamity | Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (TV) | Alice (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland) | What isn't there to love about a lost girl who conquers a strange land? This version of Alice promises to be most delightful— a romantic dreamer who still fights dirty, has a lovely sarcastic Knave of Hearts as a companion, and is bound and determined to return what is rightfully hers. I find it fascinating that she returned to her world after Cyrus' apparent death, yet brought the three wishes with her in the heel of her boot, even though they were seemingly worthless in a world without magic. When was Alice intending to return to Wonderland and what would she have wished for? Also a note— the narrative hasn't sold me on the love between Cyrus and Alice, so I'd rather a piece that focused on the push & pull between Alice and the Knave instead— more on their adventures (past, present, or future) are very welcome, and do not have to have a romantic air if that is not what you ship. But a solo-Alice piece is also great! :D | letter |

| kormantic | Parks and Recreation | Tom Haverford, Donna Meagle, Leslie Knope, Ann Perkins | I love comedy and friendship and I would love to see Tom and Donna tearing it up in any location, but possibly: In New York for Fashion Week On a private jet going to some exotic locale On a yacht, motherfucker ... in a jaeger? SO DRIFT COMPATIBLE (WHAT IS THEIR JAEGER CALLED - also Leslie and Ann being drift compatible, to poor Ben's consternation and their jaeger is called Best Team Friendship Unicorn FOREVER - but it's totally Ben and Chris on Team Good Cop Bad Cop, April and Andy as Sonic Death Mule... *ahem* obvs your suggestions would be paramount) ALTERNATELY: Crossover of Parks and Recreation with Drunk History? SO MANY POSSIBILITIES |
letter |
| kormantic | Dublin Murder Squad Series - Tana French | Cassie Maddox, Mick "Scorcher" Kennedy, Frank Mackey, Grace Corrigan | Lexie Madison | I would like to see more of anyone from the French books, in any setting you would like. I'd like to see more of Scorcher, post-Broken Harbour, but I'm a bit intrigued by the idea of Cassie haunting 'Lexie's' life - visiting her other hides and being mistaken for Lexie again and again by the people she knew. Maybe telling them Lexie was dead, penance for her ghost, maybe just... slipping back into one of Lexie's other lives and starting fresh. | letter |
| kormantic | The Wolverine (2013) | Yukio (The Wolverine), Logan (The Wolverine) | Yukio and Logan fighting crime: Noir AU? Jaeger Pilots? Yukio setting Logan up on dates with women in their 40s? Yukio and Logan driving an ambulance? Yukio and Logan being pals and doing junk. Alternately: All Yukio All The Time; I anticipate this one would be heavier on People I Have Prophesied Death For angle. |
letter |
| kormantic | Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater | Adam Parrish, Ronan Lynch, Joseph Kavinsky | Book Two opened the doors WIDE. Also, Kavinsky has Ronan's number. Also, 'Just the way you like it, fast and anonymous.' I mean. Dang. Also Noah? Can Ronan dream him alive again? Can Ronon/Adam dream him alive again? Maybe there could be. Ghost Sex/Threesomes? Um. yes. Adam's 18 and technically Noah's in his mid-twenties! Ronan/Adam: both with ridiculous power, both angry and so broken, always fighting and making up off camera. After Kavinsky, and Adam and Blue are no longer a possibility, who moves first? Alternately: ANYTHING about any/all the half-aunts! How they met, roomed together, flashbacks to Puppy and/or all the women of the house and their pasts, romantic and otherwise. |

| kormantic | Slings & Arrows | Geoffrey Tennant, Anna Conroy, Darren Nichols, Ellen Fanshaw | Basically, I love Anna and Geoffrey as pals. Anything you like, along with anyone else in the cast. Early days hangouts or Post-series with bonus Nehum/Anna if you've got it in your pocket. Would also adore Darren Nichols anything (the corduroy jacket with PUFFED SLEEVES, 'dress it up in sequins and make it sing', oh, DARREN) | |

| kristin | Lupe Fiasco - Works | From the realism of Kick, Push to the surreal metaphors of Gotta Eat to the fantastic AU put forth in All Black Everything, I adore Lupe Fiasco and the stories he tells. I requested any of the nominated songs, and I meant it. And if you wanted to explore any of his other songs, I would not object. If you wanted to tell me about Fred Astaire doing backspins, that would be astounding. (Really, anything related to the cultural changes discussed in All Black Everything would be amazing.) Feel free to run wild with any part of that AU. Or, obviously his music is prime ground for some apocafic. How about the kids in Kick, Push? How would they get on in the zombie uprisings from The Cool, or the sickness from Streets on Fire? And are those latter two the same thing? Maybe they meet up with the couple from Sunshine? What about a rebellion against the state, from State Run Radio to End of the World? Do they turn out to be the ones discovered in Unforgivable Youth? |
letter | |
| kristin | The League (TV) | Jenny MacArthur | I want to know so much more about Jenny. We see a lot of Kevin's friends, but what about hers? Does she follow any other sports? We know she works in real estate, but how does she explain away the madness of The League to her clients and/or coworkers? Or how about some background fic? How did Jenny and Kevin get together? What tests did Pete make her pass before she was approved to marry Kevin? Is her family as crazy as her in-laws? How did Jenny maneuver Kevin into letting her make the decisions for his team pre-Season 1? I do enjoy Jenny & Kevin's relationship on the show, so please don't break them up. If you wanted to throw Pete into the mix, if only for the awkwardness afterwards, I could see that. |
letter |
| kristin | The Unusuals | Eric Delahoy | I want post-series fic about Delahoy dealing with the tumor. Or not dealing with it as the case may be. I am tempted to make a very bad pun about how only throwing out one prompt is unusual for me, but I am going to refrain. I watched the show as it aired, then rewatched last year, and both times I was left with lots and lots of questions about Delahoy. Did he ever actually tell Leo and the rest of the squad? Or did something, good or bad, happen before he could? Did he start making mistakes until it couldn't be ignored? Did he have surgery, or did he die? If he doesn't, does Banks ever forgive him for not telling him (sooner)? I honestly don't care how you resolve this cliffhanger, I just want to hear what you think happened to him. I prefer gen or canon pairings for this fandom. |
letter |
| kristin | The Wire | Avon Barksdale, Stringer Bell | I would love any fic for this fandom. Feel free to ignore all my prompts and write whatever you want. If you want some ideas, though, I have plenty. How did Stringer and Avon get to their positions at the beginning of the series? What does a Barksdale family dinner look like? (And what about Stringer's family? We know a lot about Avon's.) Or how about an AU where one of them got out of the game? Also, I know this is a ridiculously specific and hard prompt probably of interest only to me, but if you did want to write me the AU where Stringer became a baseball player and Avon followed his canon trajectory while they still remain codependent, and the messiness that would ensue, I would certainly not object. |

| krityan | The Golden Age - Woodkid (album) | I'd love to see a more traditional narrative put together via the story the album tells. Similar to the videos, the albums lyrics put together a coming-of-age, loss of innocence story woven together with war and loss. Where the album is a figurative story, I'd like to see it become literal— the soldier in Iron, etc. as actual characters. Using the videos as inspiration is totally fine by me, but I'd love to see something a bit darker. |

| krityan | .hack//G.U. | Shino (.hack//G.U.), Ovan (.hack//G.U.), Haseo (.hack//G.U.) | The elaborate triangle formed by these three is my favorite driving factor behind the plot of G.U., and they certainly make up (along with the rest of the Twilight Brigade) my list of favorite characters. Anything pre-game with the three of them having twilight Bride adventures would be awesome, and I'm also open to post-game happily-ever-after fixits. Especially happily ever after fixits. | letter |
| krityan | Alan Wake (Video Game) | Alan Wake, Alice Wake | I'd definitely like to see some domestic life for these 2. There's lots of little hints at their relationship in the game, and I'm a sucker for married couples being weird together just because of how well they know each other. | letter |
| krityan | DmC: Devil May Cry | Vergil (DmC: Devil May Cry), Kat (DmC: Devil May Cry), Dante (DmC: Devil May Cry) | An AU where Dante joins Vergil in the end and they rule the world with Kat as their loyal servant would be awesome. Especially if 3-way sexy times commence shhhhhhhhhh. Or just a 3-way one way or another. My feelings on NC-17 fic are elaborated on in my general letter. | letter |
| krityan | Horse Master (Game) | Kind of a 5-minute fandom, but the first time I played it I knew it was going straight onto my fic wishlist. The world behind it all has a great Blade Runner-esque dystopic feeling, and I'd love to see it explored via a more reliable narrator than the one we're given in the game itself. More history on what the horses are, what horse mastery is really about, where it plays into the government's propaganda and such— basically any form of worldbuilding to fill in the gaps really interests me. | letter | |
| ks_villain | Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn | Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn), Gilad Pellaeon (Thrawn) | If you read the Hand of Thrawn books, dear author, I'm more than willing to accept Flim-impersonating-Thrawn as substituate for the real Thrawn | letter |
| ks_villain | Star Wars: Outbound Flight - Timothy Zahn | Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Outbound Flight) | More details in my letter, but I'd really love to see something about Thrawn's relationship with the other nominated characters. | letter |
| ks_villain | Star Wars: The Old Republic | Vector Hyllus, Yudrass ( Star Wars: The Old Republic), Hunter (Star Wars: The Old Republic) | I only requested a few NPCs, dear author, but feel free to include player characters interacting with them or other NPCs. I am familiar with the Sith Warrior, Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent story line, my letter has a more detailed list of optional characters. | letter |

| kurushi | Digital: A Love Story | Player (Digital: a love story) | I'd love to read a story about what comes next for the protagonist. I saw them as female, but I'm happy to read about a male character as well. What I'm really interested in, is how it would feel, to go through something so emotionally intense, and still be living in a world of bulletin boards and AIs. Do the experiences during the game shape the protagonist's life? Do they continue hacking, or form relationships with others online? What happens between this game and the later ones in the series? You could tell me any story set in this world, focus on any character, and I'd love it. I'd also be really interested in something set before the game, and what it meant for the AIs to look out at the digital 80s, and how that affected their lives. |
letter |
| kurushi | Hackers (1995) | Kate "Acid Burn" Libby | More of Kate. She's awesome. She's the kind of cool geek I've never been and always admired. You could tell me any story about her, and I'd be delighted. Dade or pre-Dade. No Dade. Kate as a child prodigy. Did she meet Phreak at high school? Primary school? They live in the same area in NYC. How did she discover computers? Did her mother encourage her curiosity, or did her school expose her to something? Has Cereal just been around so long, that he was a bit of a mentor to everyone else at some point? What happens at MIT, and what kind of adult does Kate become? There are so many things I'd love reading about. I have a great love for the entire cast, so if Kate isn't your thing, write about someone else! I love all the characters nominated this year. |
letter |
| kurushi | The Matrix (Movies) | Trinity (The Matrix) | I'd like to read something involving Trinity, as there's a lot of space for backstory about her. Especially as we know three things; Neo assumes a good hacker is male. Trinity has a very strong trust in Morpheus. Most people leave the Matrix when they are very young. You could tell a great story about Trinity as a young hacker, or about her meeting Morpheus for the first time. How she felt, facing her own decision regarding the pills. Seeing the Oracle for the first time. I think there are so many stories you could tell me about Trinity, and any of them could be fascinating. I'm also quite interested in the other characters, especially Morpheus, Neo, and Tank. If you're a worldbuilding or robotics and AI research type of person, I'd also die for a story about early human and AI relationships in this setting. |
letter |
| kurushi | Serial Experiments Lain | Lain Iwakura | I would love to read more about Lain's growing relationship with technology. Hardware, or code, or the bigger networked picture. I'd also enjoy reading more about Lain's relationships with Mika, her parents, and Alice/Arisu. This series can have a very different impact on people, so I'm worried that my prompts will be next to useless to you. I don't want to impose too much of my own meaning on things, I'd rather read your take on them. I'll try to fit more useful information into my letter before assignments go out. |
letter |
| kutsushita | Servant x Service | Hasebe Yutaka, Yamagami Lucy | I would love Hasebe/Lucy shipfic of any type. If it's porn, I love porn! But anything shippy with them would make me incredibly happy. -Lucy and Hasebe finally go on a second date! -Lucy and Hasebe finally start going steady! -Hasebe takes Lucy to meet his parents. (LOL DRAMA) -Lucy being curious about Hasebe's erogames again. (Maybe she wants to play one with him??) -Lucy asks Chihaya to make her a sexy cosplay outfit of one of the characters from one of Hasebe's games and awkward sexy roleplay ensues??? -An expansion of Hasebe's weird dream where Lucy was a fish? (Weird micro fish oviposition??) -Or, you know, porn. Absolutely any kind of porn. :D |
letter |
| kutsushita | Ookiku Furikabutte | Big Windup! | Mihashi Ren, Haruna Motoki | I really love the characters in Oofuri. My favorite Mihashi moments are when he's determined and assertive despite his anxiety and self-doubt. For Haruna, I especially love when he does things to help inspire others or pushes himself to the limit for his team. In general I love dedication and teamwork. Characters goofing around is also great, especially if it's somehow related to sex. I SHIP MIHASHI + PRETTY MUCH ANYONE. I multiship Oofuri hard so I'm gonna throw a lot of possible pairings out here for you to choose from: -Mihashi/Haruna! The two characters I requested, obviously. I love Mihashi's fan-worship of Haruna's pitching. I really love the size difference between the two of them. Would adore muscle worship fic where Mihashi touches Haruna's sexy muscles again. Or Haruna gets Mihashi's contact info from Abe so he can talk to Mihashi directly! Could lead to sexy text-message flirting?? -Tajima/Mihashi! They are absolute BFFs and I love the ease with which they communicate with each other. I'd love something where they are handjob buddies. Tajima sure seemed to already know all about Mihashi's dick when no one else had seen it because Mihashi always kept it hidden, huh?? I imagine that something sexual between the two of them would be really fun and light-hearted. -Abe/Mihashi! The central gay battery of the series, ha. Love any porn or shippy stuff of them, especially porn with bottom!Abe (especially if he's topping from the bottom). Love Abe controlling all the minute details of Mihashi's life. There is a lot of ship fic for them but I find there isn't a ton of porn so yeah, porn would be awesome! -Mihashi/Kanou! Childhood friends turned rivals! You could set something between them during any time period, and I'd love cute stuff in elmentary school when Mihashi used to visit Kanou's team. Or something in the angsty junior high era is cool. During high school, maybe Mihashi could be on vacation to visit his grandpa, or they could text each other? Or something in the future when they meet at a tournament. Let that rivalry ~pump them up~. -Mihashi/Hanai! Um, I absolutely adore how flustered Hanai frequently gets by Mihashi and feel like there's a lot of untapped shipping potential there. So, Hanai being flustered by his attraction to Mihashi and trying to deal with it? Size difference kink is great here too. Or power dynamics, with Hanai being the ~captain~ haha. -Izumi/Mihashi! I've seen a small amount of fic for them but would love more! I especially love it when Izumi is quietly protective of Mihashi. Um, if you randomly wanted to work Izumi's pimples in there anywhere, that would also be awesome. (I love his pimples.) -Everyone/Mihashi! I WOULD LOVE an all-Nishiura/Mihashi gangbang. Maybe the way to finally convince Mihashi he's truly the team's ace is for all of them to show him how much they care about him through fucking?? :D :D Non-Mihashi ships: -Abe/Shinooka would be amazing, especially if there's really awkward sex and/or size difference kink. Or lots of needy slutty sex. -Momokan/any Nishiura player, especially Tajima, Hanai, or Abe. And especially if Momokan gets turned on by their baseball skills! Also love sutff that plays up age differences and power differentials since Momokan is the coach. -Kasukabe twincest!! That is, Suzuki Aoi and Suzuki Ryou, Kasukabe's adorable gay battery. I love twins and I love incest and I love batteries. They don't have as much character development as the Nishiura kids or Haruna, true, but I'd love it if you made up stuff or just did total porn where none of that mattered anyway. XD Other: -I love humor, and Nishiura is my favorite team, so Nishiura humor fics would be great! Missing scenes from canon, or funny team moments during practice or in class, whatever! Class 9 is my favorite class (Mihashi, Tajima, Izumi, and Hamada) and Class 7 is my second favorite (Abe, Shinooka, Hanai, and Mizutani). -ONE AWESOME SUCH MISSING SCENE COULD BE THE ONE HIGUCHI ASA MENTIONED IN A MANGA OMAKE BUT DIDN'T ACTUALLY WRITE/DRAW FOR THE READERS wherein the Nishiura boys compare penises at that first training camp. But I guess that's getting kind of porny again, haha. ;D -I LOVE BASEBALL so a baseball action fic would also be amazing! Or baseball details in any other type of fic even if the main focus is on a ship or porn = also excellent. For Oofuri fics generally, I prefer stories set around the current time period. The part of the series that really interests me is the world of Japanese high school baseball, so I'm not into things that age the characters up to college or beyond. (I'd still enjoy things that skipped forward to the players' second or third year of high school, though.) |
letter |
| kutsushita | Tsuritama | Haru (Tsuritama), Sanada Yuki | I would especially love porny stuff for Yuki/Haru, including any of the following: -Sloppy makeouts! -Sex! Especially awkward first-time sex. -Weird alien fish genitalia! (I love oviposition if you're up to it! Or tentacles are also great.) -Watersports! (Haru gets dehydrated and there's no source of water nearby so Yuki pees on him to hydrate him and Haru loves it??) -Haru loves putting red things in his mouth and Yuki's dick is reddish when flushed with blood, profit??? AHEM SO YES, PORN WOULD BE ESPECIALLY GREAT. I especially love Haru's innocence about a lot of things, but subverting that is also great. (Haru already knowing about some sex thing in a comprehensive way that makes Yuki flustered??) Alien-human misunderstandings are great. Yuki continuing to get better at interacting with people is great! Cheesy sappy romance: GREAT. If you want to do plot instead of (or in addition to) porn, I'd love something set after the end of the series, when Haru comes back to Enoshima! (Hopefully still with makeouts at least?? Haha.) My favorite episode of Tsuritama is episode five, "Discouraged Jerking." I love the growing bond between the characters and the laid back slice of life feel. I also really love the short story that was published where Haru and Yuki get stuck in a storage closet together! Someone has graciously translated it on tumblr (see link in my DYW letter). An AU ending of that story involving porn, or something similar to that dynamic between Haru and Yuki, would be great! |
letter |
| kutsushita | 15 明刹工業高校ラグビー部 | 15 - Meisetsu Kougyou Koukou Rugby Bu | Ujikawa Akira, Ebina Yui | I really ship Akira/Yui in this and would love awkward teenage sex/makeouts/etc.. SOME IDEAS: -Yui has Akira over to his apartment again and re-does the water bottle exercise (where he pulls Akira down into his lap) except this time it ends with makeouts and maybe handjobs?? -Akira not knowing anything about sex from having grown up on an island with no other kids. -Subverting that, Akira surprisingly knowing everything about sex and being very experienced. (I was intrigued/confused about his line about how you can make money doing things other than massage?? If this wasn't just a translation mix-up, why would Akira think massage is the only way to get paid? It makes me think "massage" might be code for something else...) -Akira without any sexual hangups being really straightforward and making Yui feel awkward! -Whatever thing Yui has planned with his sister (in the most recent English-scanlated chapters) ends up somehow involving something porny with Akira. -HONESTLY ANY OTHER WAYS YOU CAN THINK OF TO GET THEM TOGETHER. Liasons in the clubroom! Staying late for personal kicking practice! Yui helping Akira with his homework! If you know stuff about rugby and want to work that in there too, THAT'D BE COOL. All I know about rugby is what I've learned from this manga and wikipedia, so don't think that it's necessary to include any rugby details if you don't want to! But I really love the sports part of sports manga/anime and I love learning new things about various sports so if you want to include it I'd enjoy that too, and don't worry if things aren't all explained in detail! I like looking stuff up as I read. :D |

| kymericl | Now You See Me (2013) | Jack Wilder, J. Daniel Atlas, Henley Reeves, Merritt McKinney | I would love to see more of the Four Horsemen prior to the film. How frustrating was it for Henley being Danny's assistant? How many times did Jack see one of Danny's shows? Was Danny the one that inspired him to become a magician? Merritt considers himself a never-was in regards to his career, but how accurate a portrayal is that really? |
letter |
| kymericl | The Fall Guy (TV) | Jody Banks, Howie Munson, Colt Seavers | I would really just love to see fic in this fandom. What made Jody want to become a stunt-woman? What was it like for Howie in one of his short-lived college courses? How did Colt and Jody meet? What convinced him to hire her as his apprentice? |
letter |
| kymericl | The Mindy Project | Morgan Tookers | Anything featuring Morgan as a prominent part of the fic will make me happy, even if it's from someone else's point of view. Morgan and Mindy on a road trip adventure. Morgan sharing more stories about his time in prison. Morgan playing matchmaker to Mindy and Danny or Betsy and Jeremy. |
letter |

letter |
| kymericl | Bates Motel (2013) | Dylan Massett | I find Dylan's character fascinating because he seems somewhat normal considering the fact that he comes from a rather odd family. Or maybe he's not as ordinary as what we see in the show? How did living on his own from a young age affect him? Did he feel that having Norma as a mother prepared him for any obstacle he might encounter living on his own? How much of what Dylan tells Norman is fact, and not just embellished stories of mundane events? It looked like Dylan and Ethan could have been really good friends. It'd be cool to see more interactions between the two of them. |

| Kyra | New Girl | 'ships I love: Nick/Jess (uh, obvs), Nick/Jess/Schmidt and Nick/Schmidt, Nick/Jess/anyone else You're in luck (maybe?) -- I have a tag on Tumblr called 'fic I wish existed' in which I've been collecting New Girl fic ideas of varying degrees of crackiness and coherence all year: http://kyrafic.tumblr.com/tagged/fic-i-wish-existed (Um, I think they're better the further back you go. Maybe.) I LOVE LOVE LOVE crazy trope fic or cracked out a/u premises. I loooove smut and porn, the more unusual or kinkier the better. I'm really into that whole getting-together phase, first times, first kisses, crossing the line from friends to more. Please feel free to throw canon to the wind and have Nick and Jess get together from scratch as though Cooler or Virgins never happened. The only things I'm really not a big fan of here are: a/us where Nick and Jess don't have the same history as they do on the show -- I'm all about how well they know each other, not 'what if they were strangers'. Also don't love established relationship fic with no real arc or plot. More info in my letter!! |
letter | |
| Kyra | New Girl RPF | LOVE the idea of either something about the complex work relationship Zooey & Jake have -- this could be either 'shippy or gen -- or stuff about all the goofiness on set, ESPECIALLY the hilarious relationship between Jake and Max and the running bits they do (pretending they're showbiz managers, Max constantly kissing Jake offscript to see him get all flustered). Also Lamorne and Hannah being awesome pals. Dream fic: Zooey/Jake -- what's it like having to kiss and be physically intimate onscreen with your coworker and friend? How do you navigate that? How do you feel knowing it's going to happen and after it's happened? Does it get to feel routine? Awkward? Enjoyable? What about when Liz Meriwether pervs over it (hahaha)? Backup dream fic: most of the above but for all the Jake/Max kissing, heh. Note: I am totally cool with 'shipping any of these characters with other characters, regardless of their marital status, but please no wife bashing. More info in my letter!! |
letter | |
| Kyra | Flash Forward (TV 1996) | Becca Fisher (Flash Forward), Tucker James | Becca/Tucker future fic would make my LIFE. I utterly adore the last episode of the series and the feel of it -- the sort of awkward excitement of them confessing their past feelings and crushes over the phone, the everything-else-stripped-away seriousness and honesty of that backstage kiss, and of course, as always with them, the sense of all their *history*. Something set around college or high school or post-college with the two of them getting together (or getting BACK together, ooh) would be awesome. Something about transitioning over that line from friendship to more. Or about discovering new things about each other/seeing each other in a different life (especially if it's during or after college and they've now spent time apart) First time fic (especially porny/smutty if you're into that!!) would be AMAZING. And I really really dig the awkward/sweet vibe of the finale. |
letter |
| Kyra | 20th Century CE RPF | Ernest Hemingway (20th Century CE RPF), F. Scott Fitzgerald (20th Century CE RPF) | The one where Hemingway and Fitzgerald had a weird and complicated relationship full of sexual attraction and competition and professional intimacy and getting very very drunk in bars all over Europe. IDEALLY slash: though this can be anything from vague longing to full-on porn or smut. (No Zelda bashing, please.) Item: Hemingway liked to tell a story about how Fitzgerald took him into a bar bathroom and showed him his dick, to see if Hemingway thought it was normal-sized, since he was worried about pleasing Zelda. Item: This story is not true, which means Hemingway made up a story about Fitzgerald's junk. Item: Hemingway on Fitzgerald: "a man then who looked like a boy with a face between handsome and pretty . . . and a delicate long-lipped Irish mouth that, on a girl, would have been the mouth of a beauty." "The mouth worried you until you knew him and then it worried you more." And: "he was cynical and funny and very jolly and charming and endearing, even if you were careful about anyone becoming endearing." Item: Hemingway basically wrote The Sun Also Rises to be "a greater Gatsby" (uh, not my phrase), because he wanted to one-up Fitzgerald. Gatsby, of course, is about a bisexual guy obsessed with the dapper party-thrower next door, and The Sun Also Rises is about a guy who can't do it with women and gets waaaay weird around gay guys. Item: Hemingway joked that he was going to call The Sun Also Rises: "The Sun Also Rises (Like Your Cock If You Have One): A Greater Gatsby (Written With the Friendship of Scott Fitzgerald)" Item: Fitzgerald wrote Hemingway letters where he calls himself "this old whore". Item: ALCOHOL. Item: Hemingway: http://www.umich.edu/~eng217/student_projects/nickadamstravel/images/milan3.gif Item: Fitzgerald: http://vincentji.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/pic0903-fitzgerald001_author.jpg Item: There are no second acts in American lives. (Haha, uh, I just like the quote.) |

| kyuuketsukirui | Shirokuma Cafe | Polar Bear's Cafe | I loved this show so much and was really sad when it ended! I just want the further adventures of Panda and co. With 50 episodes, the show itself really did cover a lot of ground, but there's still lots to explore! I nominated Polar Bear, Grizzly, Panda, and Penguin, but I love everyone, so please feel free to include any other animals or people you like. I especially liked the seasonal episodes, so maybe there's some other event or holiday that the gang could celebrate which wasn't covered by the show. What about shichi-go-san for the baby penguins? Or revisit a holiday we already saw. I could totally read about the next year's Christmas or New Year's if you want something seasonal. Or just general antics at the cafe or the zoo or whatever. And backstory is always good, too. Especially if it's Polar Bear & Grizzly backstory (frenemies or slash is good). Just anything, really. As long as it reads like the show I'll be happy. | letter | |
| kyuuketsukirui | Gravity Falls | Mabel Pines, Waddles | I love this show so much! It's so wacky and wonderful. Mabel is my absolute favorite and I just really love her and Waddles together. That is one cute pig. Feel free to include Dipper and Wendy and Candy and Grenda and Grunklestan if you want, because they are part of Mabel's life, but mainly I just want something focusing on Mabel and Waddles. Whether it's some sort of adventure or just a day in the life of a girl and her pig, as long as it's about these two being awesome, I will love it. | letter |
| kyuuketsukirui | 30 Rock | Grizz Griswold, Walter "Dot Com" Slattery | I want the epic love story of Grizz and Dot Com. It can be a platonic love story if you want, but I am totally down with slash for these two if that's what you want to do. Or platonic on Grizz's side and unrequited non-platonic feelings on Dot Com's. (Was he really in love with Grizz's fiancee Feyonce or was he in love with Grizz himself? Hmm???) You could do backstory (they went to camp together as kids!) or set during or after the show. As for other characters, while I only chose these two, I love everyone, so feel free to include other characters if you're doing something set during/after canon. | letter |
| kyuuketsukirui | ParaNorman (2012) | Norman Babcock, Neil Downe | I ship these two like crazy and it makes me so sad that the vast majority of fic for this fandom is crossovers with Gravity Falls. I love Gravity Falls, too (I mean, it's one of my other requests!), but Norman and Neil are so adorkable together. So basically, yeah. I just want some cute fluffy fic of these two. First time is great. Futurefic where they're already in a relationship is also great. Paranormal adventures are cool if you want to write something plotty. And if you don't want to write shipfic for these two, then BFF gen adventures are good, too. | letter |
| kyuuketsukirui | Shameless (US) | Molly Milkovich | Not gonna lie, I was really disappointed by the way this plotline was just kind of dropped. I just want to know what happened to Molly after she left the Gallaghers'. Did she go back to living with her mom? Was she put in foster care? I would love to see her keep in touch with Debbie. If you wanted to set something in the future, either them being BFFs or femslash would be awesome. If you want to write about her relationships with other Milkoviches, that would be cool, too. The only thing I would really prefer you avoid is to write a story where she grows up to be a cis dude. If you want to write her struggling with her gender identity and wondering if she just feels like a girl because that's how her mom raised her, that is 100% cool. I just like to think that she is female and it's pure luck for her that because of her mom's issues, she was raised female and not male. | letter |
| La Reine Noire (lareinenoire) | Sleeping Beauty (1959) | Flora (Sleeping Beauty), Merryweather (Sleeping Beauty), Fauna (Sleeping Beauty) | I'm convinced that the fairies are the main characters in the film, rather than Aurora, and I want to know more about where they come from. Have they always played this role in the human world? Were they always the only fairies? What is their relationship to Maleficent and how has it evolved? Feel free to bring in other fairy tales or legends. | letter |
| La Reine Noire (lareinenoire) | Romeo And Juliet - Shakespeare | Friar Laurence fic. I want to know what he was thinking when he came up with that unnecessarily complicated plan involving potions. What did he do after the play ended? And, most importantly, is he the same Friar Laurence who turns up at the end of The Two Gentlemen of Verona? If so, how did he come to be there? If that doesn't inspire you, I adore Juliet and anything involving her being awesome would make me happy. |
letter | |
| La Reine Noire (lareinenoire) | Le Comte de Monte-Cristo | Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas | Edmond Dantès (Dumas), Mercédès Mondego (Dumas), Fernand Mondego (Dumas), Albert de Morcerf (Dumas) | I would LOVE some Mercédès fic, especially something set during Edmond's imprisonment showing just how she came to the decision to marry Fernand. Edmond/Mercédès was probably my first OTP and I absolutely love them, but part of my love is for the tragedy, if only because too many of the film versions mess it up. If you're sick of tragedy and want to write happy fix-it fic, that is also totally fine. Also great: Mércèdes in Paris getting accustomed to society life and building that lovely relationship she has with Albert. Feel free to be nice to Fernand too; whatever his many and varied faults, he does love Mércèdes and he treats her well once they're married. | letter |
| La Reine Noire (lareinenoire) | The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011) | What I really want--really, truly want--is fic about Cardinal Sforza. I love his deadpan delivery and eyerolling and utter lack of surprise. Really, he and Burchard hanging out would be great. Plotting with the pope, also great. Negotiating dodgy loyalties, love it. Hilarious tell-all memoir? I would be full of sparkly hearts. If that doesn't strike your fancy, though, Lucrezia is my girl and I will always appreciate fic about her. I'm not wholly against Lucrezia/Cesare, but I prefer it subtextual, so more Seasons 1-2 than Season 3 (which was, frankly, a bit of a trainwreck for me). |

There are so many empty spaces - what's the nature of Saph's relationship with Teddy; Raffin and Bann's relationship, will Raffin marry a woman in the end, what will it be like if he does; what will happen when the Seven Kingdoms and Bitterblue's kingdom in particular spend more and more time with Fire's people. I'd love to read more about the Council's work, about the nobles and commoners they work with in the other kingdoms; I'd love to read about what happens with Bitterblue's Ministry of Stories. | letter | |
| labellementeuse | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Jean Tannen, Locke Lamora | Just anything about young Jean and young Locke - preferably from Jean's point of view - it's so clear what Locke gets out of their friendship and less clear the other way around, perhaps. If you felt like throwing in some casual boys-will-be-boys handjobs I certainly wouldn't say no :) I love the rest of the crew including Sabetha so feel free to chuck in anyone, set it anytime, etc. I will have finished reading Republic of Thieves by yuletide time so no worries about spoilers. :) | letter |
| Lady Anne Boleyn (Silver_Queen) | Holes (2003) | Katherine Barlow | I want a story about Kissin' Kate's outlaw days. Where'd she go after Sam's death? At what point did she decide to keep killing (or did she ever consciously make that decision at all)? How did she accumulate an outlaw gang? Where'd they live, how'd they stay ahead of the law, and what was her relationship with them like? Was there a part of her that got a thrill out of it, despite the circumstances that brought her there? | letter |
| Lady Anne Boleyn (Silver_Queen) | Appalachian Murder Ballads | I love the genre dearly, but it's always irked me how the female characters in traditional Appalachian music rarely get to DO or SAY anything, even if the song is named after them and they are described as being pretty badass (e.g. Darling Cora). And it really bothers me how the genre delights in killing beautiful, innocent girls for no good reason. It's really the Edgar Allan Poe of musical genres. So I'm just hoping for some fic that ditches the chronic manpain and puts one or more of these ladies at the center of her own story for a change. Let's be honest here: the first idea that springs to mind is "revenge AU where the girls band together to mercilessly hunt down their attackers!” I am /totally down with that/. Either in a supernatural way (they're ghosts!), or a metatextual way (they become self-aware and go on a rampage through the genre, killing men from Tom Dooley all the way down to Old Joe Clark, and recruiting Little Maggie along the way!), or a realistic way (one of them survives her attack and seeks out the others, and they all live in a cabin together in the backwoods and dole out vigilante justice against men who victimize women). But I would be equally ecstatic about fic that fleshes out Rose Connelly's story, or has Pretty Polly narrate the history of her song as different musicians molded it and altered it through the years, or puts Darling Cora at the center of a moonshine empire that employs girls from several other Roud ballads and crosses pistols with Kissin' Kate Barlow's crime empire to the west (yeah, I went there). |

| Lady Anne Boleyn (Silver_Queen) | Tierra de lobos | Aníbal Expósito, Nieves Lobo, Almudena Lobo, Isabel Lobo | I just love the family relationships in this show. I'm fascinated by the complicated web of love, resentment, and loyalty among the Lobo sisters, and the conflicts that drive them to alternately protect and sabotage each other. I'm also interested in the ties of love and history they share with Aníbal; he's both a brother and an employee to them at various times. I loved the glimpse of their childhood relationships we got in the season 1 finale, when Aníbal offered Almudena his riding crop. I would love to see more of the four of them growing up together. Fic about the origins and evolution of Nieves and Aníbal's fucked-up, codependent, almost incestuous relationship would also be fantastic. | letter |
| Lady Anne Boleyn (Silver_Queen) | Valentine (2008) | I'd really like pairing fic for either Kate/Danny or Vivi/Tucker (aka the soulmates from episode 3), but I'd honestly be psyched to get something for any of these characters. This is my fifth year requesting this fandom, so just anything in the tone of the canon would absolutely make my Yuletide. It would be cool to see some post-series fallout for Danny and Kate, or crazy adventures set earlier in the season, or maybe matchmaking shenanigans with a crossover couple from one of my other fandoms. For Vivi and Tucker, I would love to see something about them navigating life in the spotlight and working through their differences; they come from very different backgrounds, after all. Gen and pre-het are good. |

They live in a world where science heroes are fairly common, so what makes Miranda special to Jack (aside from the fact that they have fabulous adventures and save worlds on a regular basis). |

| Ladymercury_10 | FF (Comic) | Darla Deering | I love the zany, fourth-wall-breaking, rainbow-bright world of FF. The dysfunctional found-family dynamics of the school are great, and all the characters are really fabulous. Darla is my favorite—I'm really intrigued by her bravery and determination, her wallflower past, her contradictions, and of course, her amazing pink hair. I'd love to see her doing anything, really. I think seeing her lead one of the FF's bizarre Magic School Bus-esque field trips would be AMAZING, but I'd also be happy to see a more reflective story, more Darla/Scott interaction, or Darla hanging out with any of the kids. (All of whom are adorable, but I think it would be especially neat to see Darla and Tong having girl time.) | letter |
| Ladymercury_10 | Blue Beetle (Comics) | Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle), Brenda Del Vecchio (Blue Beetle) | Blue Beetle is such an adorable comic—I love Jaime's sweet-natured determination to do good even when the Scarab has other ideas, and his friends and family are so great. I'd love to see Jaime and Brenda having best-friend time, and I'd be interested to see how Brenda fits into the Reyes family when she's staying at his house. Brenda chilling with Jaime on the couch after a hard day of superheroing would be cute, or maybe her organizational skills and determination come in handy against El Paso's next big menace. If you wanted to have Brenda hanging out with Milagro or Traci, I'd be down for that, too, with or without Jaime. Shipping isn't my main interest for this fandom, but if you want to do background Paco/Brenda or Traci/Jaime, I am cool with that. | letter |
| Ladymercury_10 | Batwoman (Comic) | Bette Kane (Batwoman), Kate Kane (Batwoman) | This is kind of an and/or request. If you want to go with just Kate, just Bette, or something with both of them, any of those are totally fine. I would love to see a story exploring either of these ladies, to see them working together and being awesome, or to see more of the Kane family dynamics. I'm not really looking for shippy fic for either of them, although I'm not opposed to any of Kate's ladyloves being part of the story. I loved the arc where Batwoman teamed up with Wonder Woman, so if you want to follow up on that (do they keep in touch? what does Bette think about Wondy?) that would be neat. I've been really enjoying Bette's character development in the past few issues, so I'd also be interested in fic that addressed that. Also, if you want to have Team Batwoman meet any of the other members of the Batfamily (pre- or post-Flashpoint), that'd be a lot of fun, especially Bette comparing notes with any of the Robins. Also, it is totally my headcanon that Kate is buddies with Nightwing after she teamed up with Dick in 52 and Batman & Robin, so I would draw hearts all around that crossover if you wanted to write it. | letter |
| Ladymercury_10 | Batgirl: Year One (Comic) | Barbara Gordon (Batgirl Year One) | Babs is one of my favorite characters, and I really like how Batgirl: Year One manages to hit a fun retro tone while working in allusions to her future of computer-hacking awesomeness as Oracle. I'd love to see Babs having adventures as Batgirl, using her geek skills for great justice, getting used to the weirdness of the Batcave and all that goes with it, or growing into more responsibility in taking care of Gotham. If you want to have her interact with other members of the Batfamily, excellent. I especially love her relationship with Dick—the bickering, the affection, the competitiveness, and the comradery. If you wanted to do something with their baby superhero adventures, collapsing together after a big night of fighting crime, or goofing off in the Batcave while Bruce is away, I would so be there for any of that. | letter |
| Ladymercury_10 | Worlds' Finest (Comic) | Helena Wayne (Worlds' Finest), Damian Wayne (Worlds' Finest) | Helena and Damian are both born soldiers and yet weirdly sheltered in a lot of ways. Damian basically spent his childhood in assassin training, and I get the sense that Helena missed out on a lot of "normal” things by growing up in a vigilante household, not to mention she's literally in a different world than the one she grew up in. I love how cranky Damian is and how buttoned-up Helena can be, and I think it would be really entertaining to explore the bickering sibling dynamic they had in issues #6 and #7. Maybe circumstances lead them to another team-up, or Damian drops in at Helena's safe house. Or maybe they have an awkward-siblings ice cream date (Helena always seems to be eating ice cream, haha). Whatever you want to do with this would be really fun! I would prefer to avoid fic dealing with Damian's death, though. | letter |
| Ladymordecai | Eureka | Wacky hijinks with great characters is what I love about Eureka, and more of that is always good! I'm good with any characters, but I love the canon pairings, so I'd prefer those if any--gen is great. | letter | |
| Ladymordecai | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Marcus Bell | I love Elementary's matter-of-fact diversity, but a little insight into what it's like to be a woman/person of color/nonneurotypical in the show's environment would be awesome. I'm also open to basically all pairings except Joan/Sherlock--I'm very into the whole platonic lifemates thing. And Marcus and Joan learning from Sherlock--and maybe commisterating over learning from Sherlock--would be great. | letter |
| Ladymordecai | Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld | Aleksander of Hohenberg, Deryn Sharp | How much do I want post-series fic? SO MUCH. Them being together and awesome and doing steampunk spy stuff would be amazing. | letter |
| Ladymordecai | Astro City | Go wild. Astro City is my favorite comic of all time, and I love more stories in this verse. Any character who strikes your fancy--I trust if you picked this one to write, you have a favorite! Or an idea! I want to know. | letter | |

| ladysorka | Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005) | I'd really love something dealing with the whole 'the Astronaut is Walter' thing, and the fact that he (and, since he only wished away Danny, Lisa) apparently grew up in the world of the game. What were Walter and Lisa's lives like there? What happened to them? Alternately, after Walter and the Astronaut merge, does Walter get his memories? Even if he doesn't, how does he deal with meeting his older self? How does the Astronaut deal with meeting his younger self? What about Lisa? Did the alternate Lisa out there merge with her younger self too? I'd really just love anything dealing with this aspect of the film. | letter | |
| ladysorka | The Trouble with Angels (1966) | I'd love pretty much anything at all about this film. Mary and Rachel and their friendship, Mother Superior and Sister Liguori and theirs, Mary and Mother Superior's respectful antagonism, the way the film treats the Sister's vocation, just. Anything. Gen or femslash would both be awesome. | letter | |
| ladysorka | xkcd 1190 (Time) | What happens next? Or what happened before? How will the two main characters adjust to their new life? Will they ever meet the Beanie Leader again? Will Beret Girl take over the world? What happened in the past 10,000 years that so much knowledge was lost anyway? Will lost knowledge be regained? Seriously, give me anything at all in this world, and I will be happy. | letter | |
| ladysorka | Metropolis Suites - Janelle Monáe | Cindi Mayweather, Blueberry Mary | Just who is Mary to Cindi anyway? Friend? Lover? Fellow revolutionary? An early disciple of the ArchAndroid? All of the above? I'd love to hear absolutely any ideas you have on the subject. | letter |
| ladysorka | Tiger & Bunny | Kaburagi Kaede, Huang Pao-Lin | Dragon Kid | I'd love to see anything about these two interacting. Maybe Kaede becomes a hero herself and Pao-Lin becomes her partner? Maybe they could become friends in some other way, or develop a rivalry, or end up in a fluffy (or angsty) teenage romance? I just want to see Kaede and Pao-Lin together, in some fashion. | letter |
| Lady_Ganesh | Wild Zero (1999) | Tobio (Wild Zero), Ace (Wild Zero) | I love these two and ship them like crazy. I'd love to see what happened to them after the events of the movie, but backstory would be cool too. If you want to write either of them apart, that's cool too, but I'd prefer there not be a breakup. I would rather not have any kind of angstfest or tragedy...I mean, this is Wild Zero. It's all about true love, rock n' roll, and shit blowing up. |
letter |
| Lady_Ganesh | Yellow Peril (webcomic) | Kane Takeshi Hongo (Yellow Peril), Julie Wong (Yellow Peril), Bodie Guy (Yellow Peril), Ally Peth (Yellow Peril) | Anyone, everyone, together or apart (that includes the side cast, especially Greg and Lance). I'm really dreaming of just some fun 'day in the life' or friendship fic or wacky adventures. Put our heroes in the Zombie Apocalypse! Maybe Julie ends up on Dumpling Wars and has to pick someone to be her sous chef/assistant? (Okay, now I just want Dumpling Wars to happen.) Or you can go really crazy and talk about the development of Kaiju Kinect or something. Sky's the limit, though again I'd prefer something light and funny over dark and angsty. | letter |
| Lady_Ganesh | Heavenly Creatures (1994) | Pauline Parker, Honora Parker (Heavenly Creatures) | If you'd like to write the sad and the angsty, then this is probably the canon to write. I came out of the movie, well, heartbroken, but also wanting to know more about Pauline's relationship with her mother. It feels like the seeds for what went wrong were sewn long before Juliet came into the picture, but it also feels like they really loved each other, and that's what makes it so heartbreaking to me. Alternately, I'd like to hear more about Pauline's life after the events of the movie. The real Pauline is still alive and was last known to be running a riding school in England; does movie Pauline do the same? How does she think about her past? | letter |
| Lady_Ganesh | Twin Peaks | Audrey Horne, Dale Cooper, Josie Packard, Harry Truman | I loved Harry and Josie's doomed romance and would love to see poor Josie get out of that dresser knob. I shipped Audrey/Dale too but in that 'they can't get together now, because Dale is too Ethical for such things' way. I would love to see future fic after Dale has finally shaken off Bob. Or maybe Audrey helps Dale shake off Bob. Or just fic of Audrey on her own. I like to think of her as strong and capable and being able to get out of Twin Peaks and be her own person, not just the Horne girl. Fic set before the series with any/all of these characters would be damn fine too. | letter |
| lady_match | Sara's Song - Fern Michaels | Sara Killian, Dallas Lord, Adam Lord | The dynamic between these three characters has always fascinated me. I love all of them. I love Sara with Dallas or Adam, but if you're really feeling ambitious I would love a threesome fic between the two of them, and I'm completely fine with incest as well between Adam and Dallas. I'd love something set post-book after Dallas and Sara ran off to Vegas to get married, and they come back to pick out a pup from Izzie's litter. Really though, I'd be happy with any combination of the characters, Adam/Dallas, Dallas/Sara, Adam/Sara so if you have something else you'd like to write with them? Go for it. | letter |
| lady_match | Magic Mike (2012) | Adam (Magic Mike) | Adam by far is my favorite character in this movie, and no it's not because Alex Pettyfer played him (not at all! >_>). I think that Adam is a more complex character than anyone in the movie, or anyone really, gives him credit for. He's fucked up in a delicious way, he's a kid that makes terrible life choices, and yet he's still loveable to me. I'm good with something set post or pre movie, to be perfectly honest, and any pairing with Adam — if you're so inclined to pair him off with someone post-movie — is fine with me. If you go pre-movie here are some ideas: We learn that he was kicked out of school because he got into a fight with the football coach, what lead to that fight? How did he break the news to Brooke and how did things work out at the college that he was attending? If you choose post-movie: How are things different in Miami than they were in Tampa? Does Adam grow up any after the whole incident with Mike paying off his debt; does he ever even thank Mike for helping him out? There was also talk about a road trip for the second movie, does Adam go with? | letter |
| lady_match | Four Brothers (2005) | Jack Mercer | All of the Brothers are awesome, but Jack just happens to be my favorite. I'd love something focused on him while he was out touring and just being a rockstar. Perhaps even a first time fic with another man while he's out touring, or just you know, general shenanigans and the hazards of being a rocker would be fun too! I'm cool with any of the other brothers making appearances Bobby, Angel and Jeremiah are all ace in my book. The brotherly love that they all have for one another makes me smile. Even though it's not incest I would prefer no romantic pairings between any of them if possible. | letter |
| lady_match | Futurama | Turanga Leela, Philip J. Fry | I adore them. I love how Leela is such a strong female character, and Fry is just this hopeless guy who got tossed into the future by strange circumstances. They're fun characters to me and I do just love them. Honestly, I don't have a lot that I want in terms of fic for these two, so I'd be happy with anything with these two. Some ideas though? A delivery gone wrong, general antics at Planet Express or a romantic night in that doesn't go quite as Fry or Leela has planned. | letter |
| lady_match | Biohazard | Resident Evil (Gameverse) | Leon S. Kennedy, Helena Harper | RE6 happens to be one of my favorite games out there, and Helena and Leon work so well together as partners within the verse. I'd love something set post-campaign after the last cut scene where Helena tells Leon to go after Ada. Perhaps some sort of new bio-terrorism threat to delay Leon in finding Ada, and in which he and Helena team back up to fight the infected again. I'm fine with including any of the other characters within the verse too, since I think they're all fabulous and if you're so inclined to do so that would be fantastic. Really I'd just like bio-terrorism fighting and zombies, and nothing too shippy with these two characters. | letter |
| lady_match | The Following | Ryan Hardy, Claire Matthews | I love the fact that Ryan has carried this torch for Claire since their breakup, and there are so many feels involved with this pairing for me. I adore them. I'm good with whatever in regards to them, honest! Ideas though: something set pre-show while they're together the first time, a missing scene during the show after the two of them reconnect, Claire dealing with her feelings for Ryan after Joe has been imprisoned. | letter |
| Lady_of_the_Refrigerator | She Loves Me - Bock/Harnick | Georg Nowack, Amalia Balash | Anything at all would be great, but I have a major fondness for stories that split from canon at a specific point, or change just one event, etc, and explore how things change from that point. For instance, what if Amalia found out who Dear Friend was before Georg did? Also, I've always wondered at what point Amalia started hoping Georg was Dear Friend and what possibly made her suspect that he was. | letter |
| Lady_of_the_Refrigerator | The Nanny | C.C. Babcock, Niles (The Nanny) | Again, anything would be great, but I'd really love one of their off-screen interactions to be fleshed out. Extra points if it's *not* the one from The Dummy Twins, or anything afterwards, really. | letter |
| Lady_of_the_Refrigerator | The Poseidon Adventure (1972) | James Martin (The Poseidon Adventure), Nonnie Parry | What happens between them after the rescue? I'd prefer romantic shippyness but platonic is fine, too. | letter |
| Lady_of_the_Refrigerator | Seminar - Rebeck | Kate (Seminar), Leonard (Seminar), Martin (Seminar) | How they navigate their relationships post-play would be great. Something with the three of them together romantically would be *awesome*. | letter |
| Lady_of_the_Refrigerator | Dogma (1999) | Metatron (Dogma), Bethany Sloane | I sort of shamelessly ship these two. Whatever you'd like to write, from friendship to romance to him losing his wings and needing her help navigating the world as a fully functional human male would be great. | letter |
| Lady_of_the_Refrigerator | The Town (2010) | James "Jem" Coughlin, Assistant Bank Manager (The Town) | "Smart? Let's start fucking all the witnesses. Oh yeah, I'm blowing the assistant manager, am I smart now?" | letter |
| LaFemmeDarla | Cowboy Bebop | Spike Spiegel, Julia (Cowboy Bebop), Vicious (Cowboy Bebop) | OT3 Feels! I'd love a pre-series story about Spike, Julia and Vicious, before things fell apart between them. I admit to shipping Spike/Julia/Vicious but here is not a must, though it would be nice. Extra brownie points for Julia POV. | letter |
| LaFemmeDarla | Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense | Kate Corrigan | Kate is probably my favorite character on the series and I would love a Kate-centric story - a day in her life, her working on a case or even some backstory. Feel free to focus only on Kate or include any of her friends/coworkers. | |
| LaFemmeDarla | Batwoman (Comic) | Kate Kane (Batwoman), Diana (Wonder Woman) (Batwoman), Maggie Sawyer (Batwoman), Bette Kane (Batwoman) | I would love a story centered about any of the women of the comic - another epic team up with Wonder Woman? More on Kate and Maggie's relationship? Bette making her place on Gotham? So many possibilities! | |
| LaFemmeDarla | Big O | Roger Smith, R. Dorothy Wayneright, Angel (Big O) | Your own interpretation of the events of the series. | |
| LaFemmeDarla | Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman | Glinda the Good (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman), Fiyero Tiggular (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman), Elphaba Thropp (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman) | More OT3 feels! I would love any kind of combination of the three whether is romance or friendship. | |
| lakester | Rush Hour Trilogy (1998) (2001) (2007) | Inspector Lee (Rush Hour movies), James Carter (Rush Hour movies) | I think I have a thing for people who don't quite fit in where they're supposed to, but when they're together they fit so much better wherever they happen to be. Or explosions and kicking bad guys asses while quipping. Quipping is always good. The first film is probably my favourite, though the scene in the third where they are separated and miserable and missing the other after their fight is just very yes. I like that they are differently competent and go from not really liking the other to walking through fire for each other - or at least walking in a dress that totally doesn't flatter their figure. I do ship these two, but you don't have to. The banter's there regardless, no? Tell me about the between movie Carter/Lee/Isabella accidental shooting, or have them all solve crime. Or Carter and Lee in the aftermath of the Lee/Kenji relationship. Or send them on holiday - 'ain't no crime in Canada, I can guarantee that 120%' Five countries they aren't allowed to visit any more, and the crimes they solved there. Also I have no idea if there is a plausible reason (or even an implausible one) for them to run into Sister Agnes again, but if you can think of one then great. Banter and stunts and fairly happy endings are all of what I want here. |
letter |
| lakester | A Question of Sport RPF | Phil Tufnell (A Question of Sport), Matt Dawson (A Question of Sport) | o the time that I'm not shouting at the TV screen 'the answer is insert sport/sportsperson here, how can you not know this' etc I am snickering or rolling my eyes at Matt and Phil. Maybe not as much as Sue does, but still they are just aw. I like that they really seem to like each other, teasing and easy in each other's company and still so competitive. And that they throw themselves - however successfully or not - into or over the challenges they get. Phil might be my favourite (on account of his intersection of occasional incompetence and trying really really hard). I'm not sure I definitely ship them, maybe in a G-rated, with all the hugs, sort of way? I could be persuaded, for sure. What happens offscreen, during the show? When zombies attacked the studio did Tuffers have his cricket bat? Missing the other more than they expected during not-filming months. Mock fights over who gets to have which guests on their team. The morning after the night before? Dragging the other one off to watch their respective sports? |
letter |
| lakester | Rush (2013) | Marlene Lauda (Rush), Clay Regazzoni (Rush), Niki Lauda (Rush) | How do you be a mentor to a guy that thinks he's better than you before he's sat in the car? Is it easier to be his friend? How do you envy someone's ease with people when it's something you can't seem to learn if you even wanted to try to be more like him or like her? How do you fit into a world that's so very focussed on so cars and driving (and sometimes drinking and more often women) that you've only briefly intersected before. So far as the film goes, I liked the fast cars and the rivalry, the risks and the rewards. But I was most bitten by the characters outside the Hunt-Lauda oneupmanship. I'm interested in Marlene's relationship with Niki how she fits into his world when he really doesn't seem to fit into hers. I like what we saw of Regazzoni and want to know how his relationship with his team-mate changed, his history with Ferrari & how he felt about them both going to Ferrari, about going from lead to second driver and dealing with that. Did Marlene & Clay know each other that well before the party in the film, compare notes on dealing with Niki afterwards (or after the accident)? I am equally happy in a gen-het-slash place with these three. If you want to bring in real life - like Regazzoni's paralysing accident in '80 - that's great; if you want to write awkward Clay/Marlene/Niki and how their dynamics change over the course of the film that is as well. |
letter |
| lakester | Broken Sword Series (Video Games) | Nicole 'Nico' Collard, George Stobbart | I like the pick-n-mix grab bag nature of the legend mixed in with the trivia of the modern day. How George and Nico would miss each other and the adventuring, if not the kidnapping and attempted murdering. The mostly cheery background visual puns and the dry-witted sarcasm and eyerolling banter. How everything escalates, whether its from halting a gods jailbreak or walking round Paris showing everyone your tool (Have you seen this? It lifts drain covers) and but things keeping making a certain kind of sense that sometimes doesn't until you and the soon-to-be/current/ex are back to being a lawyer/journalist. More of the same tone of the games is what I'd like here (1st and 2nd were my favourites, 3rd least so, liked the 4th, crossing fingers re the 5th if that helps) Banter and adventure and tension that can still rely on each other. Maybe post-adventure George and Nico are trying to return all their kleptomaniacally acquired items without being caught. Maybe getting locked out of your flat is the prelude to wacky city-wide adventures to get back in. Or being knighted by the Templars came with certain responsibilities (but not with those spurs, George). Maybe there's another run-in with Pearl and Duane Henderson, or epistolary fic with the answerphone messages they leave each other when they're off on their separate adventures or you've a favourite (myth/histor)ical mystery to throw George and Nico at. Maybe there's a goat. (Okay, probably not the last one) |
letter |
| lakester | Now and Again | Michael Wiseman, Theodore Morris | I like the action and the sci-fi-y almost but not quite our future-ness of the show. And the funny, despite the just too loud to be quiet despair of Michael's separation from his family and the less obvious isolation of most everyone else. There's a sort of wistfulness of things never being quite the same again, and that combined with the humour is would like to see that in fic. Mostly I am in a gen place with this show. Does Dr Morris write odd journal articles and look vaguely dissatisfied when they get rejected? What ideas does he have for mark 2 of the project? We saw how tangled up the Wisemans still are, so tell me more about Grandma Pearl, the rescheduled Thanksgiving and the young man Theodore brought home. Amnesia as plot device. Conspiracy theories, identity issues, subliminal messages, 5 times Michael tried to escape and 1 time he came back. Did Morris find Michael after the end of series flight, did he look, did he recieve a series of ever more obscure postcards with no return address? Basically I like the action-adventure-ness and the more introspective parts and am interested to see whichever way you go with it. |

| lakester | Green Rider Series - Kristen Britain | Karigan Gladheon | I really like the sense of history and of duty that seem to permeate these books in general and the Green Riders in particular, whether it's centuries old grudges or castle passages that haven't been walked down in nearly that long. (Ghost Kitty!) The not quite inconspicuous nature of the magic of the brooches, and that characters tend to do the right thing by their lights (even if its not the right or even good thing by anyone elses) I like how the riders fit together, Karigan's mentory relationship with Captain Mapstone, her more prickly one with Ty, and all the differently comrade-in-arms-ness with Mara and Yates and Alton and I could go on a while here. You could tell me about Karigan's misadventures as a rider in training, or downtime with the other riders. Send her walking with the First Rider, or one of the others to bear her brooch. Negotiate her relationship with Zachary and Estora and Alton and Estral the complicated tangle when everyone tries and things that would be simpler with a game of intrigue. If you want to go post-Blackveil, reunite Karigan with Condor and ride out again in service that'd be neat, or maybe go back to little Karigan, with her mother and explore their connection with the Eletians. |

| lalaietha | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | I love the siblings either as insanely intense filia (that is, family love) or as an incest ship; either way, what I want is these two being all about each other and their life together.

| lanyon | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May | I would really love some Cavalry backstory but anything Agent May-centric would be divine. I love femslash but, to be honest, what I'd love to see are female relationships - whether that's with Skye, or with Maria Hill, or with any other SHIELD or Marvel character, I'd be so so happy. | letter |
| lanyon | Kings | Jack Benjamin, David Shepherd, Michelle Benjamin | I would love future fic in the Kings 'verse. I still feel hard done by that this series never made it to a second season but that's what Yuletide is for, right? Ideally, I'd love to see Jack/David, though I do like Michelle/David, too. I'm not a fan of twincest but wherever you see the future taking the younger generation, I'm going to want to read it. | letter |
| lanyon | The Losers (2010) | Jake Jensen, Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez | I'd love anything involving Jake and Cougar as a pairing - a get-together fic, with the slowest of slow burns, a futurefic (maybe a happier ending than the comic) or an AU. I adore Aisha and Jolene, too, as well as Jake's sister and niece so if they play a role, I won't be at all unhappy. | letter |
| lanyon | Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger | Biffy (Parasol Protectorate), Professor Lyall | Future-fic for Biffy and Lyall would be a dream come true; that future when they're together. Though normally I'll read anything, I would just love pure fluffy happiness here, though intrigue, Carriger-style never goes astray. | letter |
| lanyon | Easy A (2010) | Rosemary Penderghast, Olive Penderghast, Dill Penderghast, Chip Penderghast | In a stunning break with tradition on my part, I'd love to read about Olive's parents and basically, everything ever that led to them being the most perfect lovestory in the background of this movie. | letter |
| lanyon | The Iliad - Homer | Achilles (Iliad), Patroklos (Iliad), Briseis (Iliad) | Anything about these three would be marvelous. Literally anything. Modern AU? Threesome? Gender swap? Canon? I'd love it all. | letter |
| Lassarina | Final Fantasy Tactics | Beowulf Cadmus (FF Tactics) | I would love to see a conversation between Beowulf and someone else in the party while Beowulf is searching for Reis. Fluff is fine, gen/non-romantic is preferred. Some options: things you'd do anything to find, most important person in your life, class meta (perhaps with Agrias, as they both have unique base classes), etc. Alternately, Beowulf/Reis reunion fic would make me really happy. |
letter |
| Lassarina | Lost Odyssey | Kaim Argonar, Sarah Sisulart | I absolutely love these two, and anything would make me happy. First time meeting, first time together after a separation, making a home together, post-game comfort, being awesome adventurers together, anything! I would be interested to see something about how their strengths balance each other (Sarah's imagination vs. Kaim's practicality, or different kinds of strength). Any rating is fine by me! I am not terribly fond of kidfic and thus I would prefer not to have Lirum or Cooke and Mack in the fic, please. |
letter |
| Lassarina | Persona 3 | Sanada Akihiko, Kirijo Mitsuru | Postgame, how do they handle all of the losses they've encountered throughout the year? For a long time, they were the only ones they had to rely on, and I'm a complete sucker for a team loyalty dynamic, so I'd be fascinated to see something with that, or some hurt/comfort could also be tasty. Any rating is fine, but if you decide to go explicit I'd prefer they both be of age/over 18. (And if you do decide to go that route, I'm utterly delighted by the fact that Mitsuru's elemental strength is Akihiko's weakness.) | letter |
| Lassarina | Final Fantasy VI | Locke Cole (Final Fantasy VI), Celes Chere (Final Fantasy VI) | I absolutely love this pairing, but I love it more in the ways in which it is hideously broken than when it is happy and smooth. Both of them are carrying piles of baggage that would dwarf a Tyranosaur, and neither of them is any damn good at talking about their feelings. I'd love to see something that deals with their communication issues, or something postgame about how they handle not having a common goal anymore and what they're going to do with their lives now that they can't put off dealing with their issues on the grounds of "we've got to defeat Kefka." Happy ending preferred, but bittersweet/"someday they'll work this out" could also work. Any rating is fine. |
letter |
| Lassarina | Final Fantasy IV | Kain Highwind (Final Fantasy IV) | Kain is my very favourite broken toy, and I do so love to see him kicked around. I would love to see some Dragoon meta, or maybe some post-game with Kain handling the weight of all the nonsense he's pulled (or how he handles knowing that Golbez has really gone, after the second moon goes away). I haven't played After Years, but I know enough about the canon to be entirely fine with throwing it all out the window and going in a different direction. Alternately if you like doing shippy things, I am a fan of messed-up Kain/Barbariccia, or less-messed-up Kain/Rydia/Edge. Alternately alternately, if you know Dissidia canon, I would take Kain/Lightning in a heartbeat. |
letter |
| Lassarina | Radiant Historia | Eruca | I really want to see something about Eruca adapting as Queen now that she has inherited this broken kingdom in a broken system. Friendship adventures with Raynie would be great, or sibling adventures (please not incest) with Stocke after the Good Ending, or I would also be completely okay with Garland as an advisor (or maybe something more.) | letter |

| Laughing_Phoenix | Cats of Grand Central - Diane Duane | Rhiow Urruah, Saash Arhu | I find this team adorable beyond belief. I'm not really looking for a big adventure here, just some slice-of-life. Have wizards drop in and out, let the team bicker a bit about whose turn it is to do the maintenance on that one gate that just will not behave after all the mess that was Sandy, show me what a day on the job is for this crew. | |
| Laughing_Phoenix | The Immortals - Tamora Pierce | Veralidaine Sarrasri (Immortals) | Ideally, a missing scene from one of the first two books. Keep it lighthearted, let the animals throw in their two cents, have fun. | |
| Laughing_Phoenix | His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman | Iorek Byrnison, Lee Scoresby, Hester (His Dark Materials) | Lee and Iorek have a history of working together - Lee tells us as much himself when he sends Lyra to recruit Iorek. Take that concept, of the panserbjorne and the aeronaut, and run with it. What shenanigans did our intrepid heroes get up to in their wilder youth? | |
| Laughing_Phoenix | Greek Mythology | Zeus (Greek Mythology), Hades (Greek Mythology), Demeter (Greek Mythology), Hera (Greek Mythology) | I have a pronounced fondness for works that take established myths or fairy tales and twist them a bit. I tagged for Kronos' children, but feel free to use them as anchor points and wander off a bit. Maybe Hades actually did really want the realms of the dead. Maybe Demeter has come to like her vacations. Maybe Zeus and Hera can be disgustingly lovey-dovey. Maybe none of these suit your fancy and you feel like doing something different - have at it! | |
| Laughing_Phoenix | WTF Evolution (Tumblr) | Evolution (WTF Evolution), Evolution's Manager (WTF Evolution) | I'm a scientist by trade and forever enthralled by the wonderful, weird and wacky ways that life happens. Pick a strange creature or two - bonus points if not one listed on the site - and let Evolution and the Manager talk it over. As far as I'm concerned, this can be all dialogue. | |
| Laura | Ocean's (Movies) | Danny Ocean, Rusty Ryan | If Danny/Rusty is your thing, then a first time story with a bit of pining and a lot of banter would be awesome. But gen is also more than fine -- a story of how they first met, or how they keep trying and failing to retire, or anything else that grabs you. | letter |
| Laura | The Newsroom (US TV) | MacKenzie McHale, Will McAvoy | Anything with Will and Mac together. That is all I want (except, weirdly, a wedding). They're first Christmas after the proposal, or something recognising that they spent a lot of time hurting each other and that doesn't just magically disappear, provided there's a happy ending. | letter |
| Laura | Farseer Trilogy - Robin Hobb | FitzChivalry Farseer, The Fool (Robin Hobb) | I would love anything that brought Fitz and the fool back together at the end of the third book. Doesn't have to be shippy, if that's not your thing, but something that reflects how much they love each other would make me really happy. It doesn't have to be a long term reunion if you want to stay compliant with the later books in the series, though if you wanted to take them into account, and have them reunite at the end of the full series, you would be my most favourite. | letter |
| Laura | New Girl | My favourite eps are the ones that have a really simple plot, and just focus on the friendship they all have. So if you could do something like that -- them all getting stuck in an elevator or trying and failing to decorate the apartment for Christmas -- I would love it. Although, don't get me wrong, if you have an elaborate plot you'd rather do, I'd be delighted by that, too. I would also really like it if Cece and Schmidt got back together (assuming it hasn't happened on the show). | letter | |
| laura47 | Next to Normal - Kitt/Yorkey | Diana Goodman | Diana, afterwards. I would like a happy ending, but it's not mandatory. I was realistic. If you are going to talk about specific meds, I'd love if you did research and were accurate. If you don't want to do that, perhaps you could just be vague and not list specific names? I know enough that inaccuracies might make me a bit sad. If there will be self injury I would really love a warning. If there's suicide... um, that's probably a big plot point, and I'm asking for something where that is topical, so I guess it's okay? Maybe put warnings in the end note or something? Please no incest or doctor-patient relationships. OCs are totally cool. I'd be happy to see what happens to all the Goodmans post story, or just Diana, whatever works for you story-wise. | letter |
| laura47 | Sleep No More - Punchdrunk | I have been to Sleep No More three times, twice in Boston and once in NYC, and I loved it. I loved wandering the empty rooms, I loved chasing after specific characters to see their stories unfold, I loved just wandering between plot threads, I loved getting fake blood on me from a naked man at the basement bacchanalia-rave-orgy-sacrifice. I got pulled in for a private scene with Hecate that freaked me the hell out and it was amazing, I'll maybe detail that in my Dear Author letter? Last year I said I would and lamed, so no promises. Anyway, do whatever inspires you. |
letter | |
| laura47 | The Importance of Being Earnest - Wilde | I am pretty flexible here. I want shenanigans, post-canon? I don't know! you can make it slashy if you want, I would totally be down with that. If so, it'd be rad if we swapped both couples to m/m and f/f, with more wit and possibly mistaken identities? I also love things like 12th Night, so that style of shenanigans is great. :) | letter | |
| laura47 | Moon (2009) | Oh my god, what a sad and messed up story. I'm really open here, to something afterwards, to something in a previous iteration. What happens to Sam? What happens societally? What happens on the Moon? What about Sam's daughter? Really open! | letter | |
| laura47 | The Lion in Winter (1968) | Geoffrey Plantagenet (The Lion in Winter) | o, I'm probably weird in that I'm not looking for slash, I'm looking for character study and family dynamics. Here's a possible prompt: "Is Geoffrey a sociopath because no one loves him, or does no one love Geoffrey because he's a sociopath?" Or, more generally, family dynamics amongst this totally messed up family. | letter |
| Laurea | Nero Wolfe - Rex Stout | Nero Wolfe, Archie Goodwin, Lily Rowan | I'd love to see something with their characters really showing through - plot can be there or not, as you wish. Ideally I'd like it free of romance, or canon only if you really think it has to be there. | |
| Laurea | Miss Marple - Agatha Christie | Percival Fortescue, Jennifer Fortescue | I always really wanted to see what would happen if (when!) Percival found out about Jennifer's past. If you could write that, I will love you forever! If you don't feel up to the task, anything with them getting a happy ending will make me smile. | |
| Laurea | Howl Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Charmain Baker, Sophie Hatter (Howl's Moving Castle), Flower-in-the-Night | I'd like to see the ladies interacting and just being their awesome selves. | |
| Laurea | Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms - Mercedes Lackey | Lily l Sable, Rosamund (500 Kingdoms) | I'd like to see them solving a new problem post-book if you can manage it! | |

| Lbilover | Frasier - Fandom | Niles Crane, Daphne Moon | Many of my favorite Frasier episodes are where Niles is pining after an oblivious Daphne. So I'd love a story set before they get together and that includes a humorous disaster resulting from Niles's obsession with her. I love slapstick and physical comedy (think the episode where Niles disastrously tries to iron his trousers in Frasier's apartment) so if the humor includes something like that, it would be awesome. | |
| Lbilover | Toy Soldiers (1991) | Billy Tepper, Joey Trotta | Anything with these two characters would make me happy, honestly. Given my druthers, though, I'd love an AU where it turns out Joey didn't die from his gunshot wounds but Billy doesn't discover the truth for some time. Why that is and how it plays out is up to you, as long as the ending is happy. I slash Billy/Joey, so a slash story would be awesome and the story can be as explicit as you like | |
| Lbilover | As Time Goes By | Jean Pargetter, Lionel Hardcastle, Judith Hanson, Alistair Deacon | ATGB is my favorite comfort show. Any slice of life situation with these four characters would make me very happy. No explicit sex, please, and keep to the traditional pairings: Lionel/Jean and Alistair/Judith. An example of the sort of thing I'd like would be Judith and Alistair having a baby and leaving him or her with Jean and Lionel to babysit for the first time. But honestly, anything fitting the parameters I gave will be great. | |
| Lbilover | Spirited | Henry Mallet, Suzy Darling | I was crushed that Spirited was canceled, especially given how the second season ended. What I'd dearly love is to have the awful situation that Suzy is in happily resolved. (I think Aaron is totally wrong for her!) However, if you don't want to go there, something set earlier that features a happy Henry/Suzy would make me happy. Angst is okay, of course, but I'm a happy ending sort, so... | |
| lc2l | Undead is Very Hot Right Now series - Sarah Rees Brennan | I love these short stories! I suspect that as you have offered it, you also love them! In terms of requests, I just want fic about these four guys trying to make it as a band and failing all over each other and misunderstandings and terrible terrible photoshoots. Any ships/gen/whatever is okay but please avoid explicit sex, dubcon, noncon <3! |
||
| lc2l | 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) | Kat Stratford, Patrick Verona | Kat! I love Kat for her basassery and her standing up for herself and her general awesomeness! Really any fic you want to write that focuses on Kat being awesome would be amazing and I bet I would love it. It would be awesome to have fic in which she takes the guitar and starts a kickass rock band, but if you have other ideas don't let me stop you! Please avoid explicit sex, dubcon, noncon (also I would love it if Kat and Patrick didn't break up :) ) |
|
| lc2l | Now You See Me (2013) | Jack Wilder | Okay so what interested me about Jack in the movie is how the others are clearly in it for the magic and have spent years perfecting magic tricks, whereas for Jack the magic seems like more of a distraction or a slight of hand to enable him in his stealing and asskicking ways. So I would love fic that explores his backstory and how and why he started learning magic. Alternatively, fic that focuses on the four horsemen in the year between finding the trick blueprints and carrying out the tricks would also be awesome. Any ships/gen/whatever are okay but please avoid explicit sex, dubcon, noncon |
|
| lc2l | Peter Pan - J. M. Barrie | Peter Pan | I would love fic that explores Neverland and Peter's relationship with it and what it's like to live there forever and never grow up. Something that explores the fantasy/fairytale feel of the place and maybe the darker sides. Preferably gen, if possible :) <3 |

| leaper182 | Persuasion - Jane Austen | I'd love to see what life is like for Anne and Frederick after they get married. If you're having trouble with that one, I'd love to see Admiral Croft and Sophia, and what they think about the romance as it rekindles. (I secretly love the 1995 version with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds.) | letter | |
| leaper182 | Venetia - Georgette Heyer | Venetia Lanyon, Jasper Damerel | I want to see them after they get married, and Damerel has trouble not backsliding into his wicked ways (if you want to outline just how wicked he got during his bachelorhood, I'm not objecting!), and then Venetia having a frank discussion wit him about it. Either that, or I'd love to see Venetia and Damerel together, meeting up with Venetia's mother and scandalizing everyone. | letter |
| leaper182 | Vicar of Dibley | Geraldine Granger, Harry Kennedy | I know that the show's a comedy, and their romance was romantic and hearts-aflutter and such, but I kind of want to see Geraldine and Harry get to know each other? Alternatively, I'd love to see what Rosie's reaction is to her brother being in love is like. | letter |
| leaper182 | Wreck-It Ralph (2012) | Sergeant Calhoun | I want to see what it was like when Felix and Calhoun were dating. I loved their romance in the movie (and seeing them game-jumping with Ralph and Vanellope during the end credits was adorable, complete with the Huge Gun that Felix was firing), but I wanted to see them going through the ups and downs of dating. I'd also love to see Calhoun's Marines reacting to the relationship. | letter |
| LeBibish | Despicable Me (Movies) | Edith (Despicable Me) | The girls all grown up and working on their own big dreams. (I really like the idea of a Ballet Shoes inspiration with orphan girls making a pledge to represent their own family in the world and make an impression on it). | letter |
| LeBibish | Bunheads | Michelle Simms | Difficult: I found Hubbell really interesting and sweet and I would have enjoyed seeing him in the show--without losing the strength and power of the female characters.

| leftbrainhipcheck | Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein | I'm far more interested in the friendship between Maddie and Julie than in any romance or potential romance with male characters. In my mind, the book was a love story to friendship, and one of its greatest strengths was that it didn't feel the need to include much of a romantic subplot. | ||

| legete | The Lost Room (TV) | Oh my god, if you could somehow write cool, creepy stuff about other collections of Objects and the horrifying stuff they do when accidentally (or deliberately) brought together, I would love you forever. | letter | |
| legete | Parks and Recreation | I love everyone, but I have a special place in my heart for the friendship between Ben and Chris. But seriously, everyone. I would be happy with anything. Leslie and Ben having amazingly nerdy feminist sex? Brills. Chris Traeger's childhood? Spiff. Tom remembering his experiences as he prices merch for Rent-a-Swag? Perf. Andy and April bringing Nerf guns to work and pretending to be in a zombie apocalypse? Faboo. Donna treatin' herself? Aw yeah. Ron Swanson's love affair with meat and woodworking? Give it to me. Jerry actually having a successful day? Whoa buddy let's not get crazy here. | letter | |
| legete | The Losers (2010) | Jake Jensen, Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez, Franklin Clay, Linwood "Pooch" Porteous | Anything! I love Clay. I love Cougs. I love Jensen. I REALLY love the Petunias. I love Jensen's unnamed niece and the possibility that Jensen spends off time trying to train her into a soccer-playing beast. (I also love the possibility that she already is a soccer-playing beast.) | letter |
| legete | What's Your Number? (2011) | Ally Darling, Colin Shea | Those two dorks have their work cut out for them, don't they? He's a musician who gets wedding gigs sometimes, and she's currently unemployed and wants to focus on her art. (How are they affording those massive, beautiful apartments, anyhow?) I'd love to see life start back up again after the search for Number 20 dies down. Moving in together, maybe. Taking temp jobs they don't necessarily like to pay for things like clay or guitar strings or pay-per-view luchador matches or, y'know, rent. Running into a couple of Colin's one-night-stands from time to time. Keeping their senses of humor. Coming home tired and grouchy to find their partner is also tired and grouchy and frustrated, but knowing that they still love them despite not really wanting to be around them at the moment. Being stupid and happy and entirely content with eating leftovers on the couch because, above just about everything else, they're also best friends. | letter |
| leiascully | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Will Stanton, Bran Davies aka Pendragon, Jane Drew, Miss Greythorne (Dark Is Rising) | I love Will/Bran, and I love Jane. It would be really interesting to see Jane interacting with Miss Greythorne. I'm open to the idea of Will/Bran/Jane as well, or Jane on her own, making her way through the world. | |
| leiascully | Corner Gas | Wanda Dollard, Davis Quinton, Karen Pelly, Lacey Burrows | I'd love a story focused on the ladies, or on Davis, or on Davis+ladies. Gen is delightful! | |
| leiascully | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Alfredo Llamosa | Gen, please! Any capers, casefic, character study, whatever, of any of them. Bonus Ms. Hudson a definite bonus. Lady-focused also a plus. | |
| leiascully | Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld | Deryn Sharp, Aleksander of Hohenberg | More! I'd love an exploration of (aged-up) Deryn and Aleksander discussing why her crossdressing appeals to him and what they discover about themselves and each other (sexily. Did I mention aged-up? Definitely aged-up a bit). Or a story about Nora being incredibly queer. | |
| leiascully | Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein | Maddie Brodatt, Julie Beaufort-Stuart, Jamie Beaufort-Stuart | I would love a fix-it or some pre-mission time with Maddie and Julie (Maddie/Julie a huge bonus) or Maddie and Jamie trying to cope with the loss of Julie (or even Maddie dealing with loving both Jamie and Julie, romantically or not (but no incest)). Maddie and Jamie visiting the rose garden after the war would be nice. Really anything. | |
| Leidolette | Gravity Falls | Mabel Pines, Dipper Pines | This show suckered me in with its fantastic visuals, solid humor, and gentle creepyness. I love the atmosphere and the feeling of long summer days in a cool forest. I'd love any fic that projected a strong sense of place; I definitely want to know that I'm in Gravity Pines! A good spooky story would be great. I could take it both low-key or scarier than the show's usual fare, if you choose to go that route. Curious investigation of the forest, Mystery Shack, or town is good too. Or maybe the kids could heat from their parents? I like all the characters in this series, so feel free to add or subtract them as necessary. I'd prefer gen for this fandom. |
letter |
| Leidolette | Austenland (2013) | Jane Hayes, Henry Nobley | A completely charming movie with good humor and just enough self-awareness to be charming. I'm a fan of Regency-era period dramas, so I had a great time watching this movie. Possible ideas: They go back in to the real Regency period in all their Austenland clothes and have to fake it like crazy. Or maybe maybe more time spent with the actors at their break pool. Any behind the scenes or missing scenes stuff would be good. I was completely into Jane/Henry, so if you were feeling it too, go ahead and go hog wild with romance, sex, and general besotted-ness. I'm a big fan of pining too, so any amount of Henry pining after Jane would be pure gold. Movie-verse only, please. |
letter |
| Leidolette | Little Gloomy | Gloomy (Little Gloomy), Frank (Little Gloomy), Larry the Werewolf | I like this series for its depiction of friendship and the funny dialogue. It never takes itself too seriously. And all the characters are buddies! I really love that. My romantic preference for this fandom would have to be Gloomy and Frank. It's a pretty classic 'crush on your friend' scenario, but there's not a bunch of angsting. I don't really have any specific prompts if you decide to write romance, but I'd a prefer something that wasn't ultra-serious and gritty. If you decide to go the gen route, I'd really enjoy something that maybe explored what it would be like for Gloomy to be the only human in her town (country? world?), but preferably in a relatively light-hearted way. Or maybe a supernatural adventure story? Or maybe the cast just sitting around watching classic monster movies and being fun? Whatever you want! One thing to be aware of: This comic book series has also been adapted into a French cartoon series called Scary Larry. As far as I can tell, the characters and the premise are both pretty different than the original series. I know next to nothing about the cartoon, so if you're familiar with Scary Larry, please don't include its story elements. |
letter |
| Leidolette | Starship Troopers (1997) | Carmen Ibanez, Carl Jenkins (Starship Troopers) | This movie was over the top and filled with propaganda - and absolutely great because of that. There is something that I was always curious about: Carmen and Carl's relationship. The movie shows Johnny, Carmen, and Carl as these three good friends, but since we see the movie through Johnny's eyes we don't get to see much of Carl and Carmen interacting. I'd love to get a story that fleshed out their friendship a little more. Maybe set when they're still in school? They both seemed pretty driven about their future careers, as opposed to the kind of unfocused Johnny Rico. Or how about a canon AU where Carmen pilots ships that carry members of the Intelligence division? Or maybe Carmen's shoulder wound got infected with some brain bug juice and she's got to go to Intelligence so they can study it? Anything that has these two interacting within the world of Starship Troopers is good with me. Not really interested in a romance between these two, nor in any of the continuity from the sequel movies. |

| Lenore | Woman on the Edge of Time - Marge Piercy | Luciente, Consuelo Ramos, Jackrabbit (Woman on the Edge of Time), Bee (Woman on the Edge of Time) | This is one of my favorite books, and I'd be thrilled to get any story set in this universe. I'd love to see Connie become more involved with the people of the future or read a missing scene of life in Mattapoisett. I'd be happy with gen or if you'd like to write an erotic story, I'm always good with that. I've wondered what it would have been like if Connie had taken Jackrabbit up on his flirtation. Actually, I'd love to read any permutation of Connie, Bee, Jackrabbit and Luciente. All the characters in this universe are awesome, so please feel free to include any that you wish. Really, anything you want to explore will make my day. | letter |
| Lenore | Haven | Audrey Parker, Nathan Wuornos, Duke Crocker | This is a show I look forward to every week, and there are so many different kinds of stories I'd enjoy reading. A resolution of the big issue in S4. A casefile set anywhere in the timeline that has Nathan, Audrey and Duke working together. Something romantic and relationship focused. I enjoy any combination of the characters but tend most toward OT3 or Duke/Nathan. I'm intrigued by the show's mythology and the glimpses we get of Audrey's origins, and I'd love to read a take on that. I'd also enjoy future fic that shows life after the Troubles. The one thing I'd prefer not to see is a complete AU since the world of Haven is so interesting and shapes the characters so much. | letter |
| Lenore | Ripper Street | Homer Jackson, Edmund Reid | I find the relationship between these two completely fascinating. It's hard for me to resist the upright man of the law and the shady neer-do-well finding common ground, working together and coming to respect one another. I would happily read slash, but if that isn't your cup of tea, I would equally as happily read about their working relationship or burgeoning friendship. If you like to write casefiles, I'd adore one of those. Or perhaps one of the men has to help the other out of a jam. Or there's some awkward advice asking about personal matters. Really, anything that portrays the connection between these two will be awesome. | letter |
| Lenore | Sense and Sensibility (1995) | Margaret Dashwood (S&S 1995) | I rewatched this movie recently and was struck by how winning young Margaret is (a rather different characterization than in the book). I would love future fic that follows her adventures. What is she like as a young woman? Does she ever get to see the Nile? If you want to write the story of Margaret finding love as her sisters did before her, that would be lovely. If writing future fic isn't really your thing, then Margaret's take on the events of the movie would also be delightful. | letter |
| Lenore | L.A. Confidential (1997) | Bud White, Ed Exley | These two never stop being hot no matter how many times I watch the movie. If you're into writing slash, I would love slash for them, and if filthy, dirty porn is your thing, hey, it's my thing too. I've always thought Lynn saying "Fucking me and fucking Bud White aren't the same thing" is one of the most deliciously provocative lines ever, and if you'd like to do something with that, awesome. However, if you're not comfortable writing Ed and Bud in a sexual relationship, I would also love a portrayal of their working relationship and growing friendship. I'd adore future fic where they're reunited to work a case together or a missing scene from the movie that sheds light on their respective personalities and what draws them together. | letter |
| Lenore | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | I'd adore a Joan-centric story and especially one that shows her really coming into her own as a detective. Maybe she notices something that Sherlock missed or uses her knowledge as a doctor to solve a case. Or if you're not into writing casefiles, I'd love insight into Joan's thoughts about her change of career, how she feels about being a detective, where she imagines the future taking her. I also love the relationship between Joan and Sherlock, and if you'd like to focus on it, that would be awesome as well. While I hope the show always keeps things platonic between them, I'm open to a bit of romance in fanfic. | letter |
| leobrat | New Girl | Nick Miller, Jessica Day (New Girl) | Nick and Jess are an unbreakable OTP for me, but I love everyone on this show. I would love some sort of retrospective on them, maybe a few years down the line, maybe even at their wedding reception, as they, their loftmates and friends remember how they got from their beginnings to committing to spend the rest of their lives together. I only filled in Nick and Jess for characters because I would want them to be the focus of the story, but the other loftmates and Cece are obviously a big part of the show, and I imagine that within the world of the show, Coach is just as good a friend to the guys, so anyone else that you might want to include is more than welcome. (Jess's parents, Nick's mom, etc.) I don't care where other ships lie, so long as Jess and Nick are together, and happy. | letter |
| leobrat | Arrow (TV 2012) | Tommy Merlyn (Arrow TV), Thea Queen (Arrow TV) | Gosh, I love Thea. Any character study of her would be awesome. Shipwise, I loved her the most with Tommy (sob). So, if you wanted to go with a romantic story, I would love some sort of 'what if', with Tommy *not* dying. Or missing scenes from before he died. Or some time before the show, when Oliver was gone. Given her age, if you're not going with some sort of forward AU, I realize it can't be overly romantic from his side. | letter |
| leobrat | My So-Called Life | Angela Chase, Jordan Catalano | As you can probably see by now, I love flashforward AU's. I would love to spy in on Angela and Jordan, as they'd be in this age, if they ran into each other, and how they might have strayed in and out of each other's lives over the years. | letter |
| leobrat | Friday Night Lights | Billy Riggins, Jess Merriweather, Vince Howard | Oh, Billy Riggins was my first immediate favorite on the show, and from where he ended up, I would love to know some backstory of him raising Tim as best he could (with all the mistakes he made along the way, for all good intentions). And she's not listed as a character (and I didn't have the foresight to nominate her) but I loved his relationship with Mindy, and the way the Riggins and Collette families seemed to have been blended for so long (and any Tim/Tyra wouldn't hurt, either). On the other hand, if you're going with Jess and Vince, there was a great deal of history between these two and (so it seemed) their families, most of which was unexplained by the show. Fill in the details. |

Would love to explore dragons from different cultures (ones that haven't been introduced in the books or ones that haven't been explored in great detail yet). Can also be set in a different time period. 2. How does Temeraire & Iskierka's egg turn out? 3. Tharkay or Laurence or Jane-centric fics. 4. Anything else that strikes your fancy. |

Hades and Persephone's romance/marriage 3. Apollo and Hermes romping around 4. Any sort of kidfic! 5. Anything else that strikes your fancy |

| lessthanpie | Rose Under Fire - Elizabeth Wein | Jamie Beaufort-Stuart (Rose Under Fire), Maddie Brodatt (Rose Under Fire) | Maddie and Jamie together are just so romantic to me. (HE LEFT HER HIS BOOTS. <3_<3) I would be delighted with anything, so long as they are together. Any of Maddie's visits to Craig Castle, or filling in between books (the proposal, maybe?), or picking up after Rose's story seem ripe with possibilities. (I don't need a fixit for Verity, but neither am I opposed to it, if that's a direction you want to take.) I specifically asked for them from Rose Under Fire to allow for all available canon, but if you want to write something set during the earlier book's timeline that is okay with me. | letter |
| lessthanpie | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | Thomas Nightingale | I love that we only get hints and bits and pieces if Nightingale's backstory, but that doesn't mean I don't want to know what might really have happened at Ettersburg. Anything where he has to deal with the modern world, with or without magic, would be equally entertaining. | letter |
| lessthanpie | The Outs | Paul | Scruffy (The Outs), Jack Widows | This is a perfectly charming webseries (Which you can watch here), and watching it just made me really happy. I would adore more Jack and "Scruffy", because they are the most adorable couple ever. Something set during the series would be good, or after might be even better. Do they try a long distance relationship, or do they both leave Brooklyn? Anything would make me happy, as long as they are together and adorable. | letter |
| lessthanpie | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | Temeraire, Iskierka (Temeraire) | Blood of Tyrants left me wanting more of egg-bearing Iskierka and her cravings. (Her demanding that Temeraire bring her back a cow was incredibly amusing to me.) I would love something between them, either while Iskierka still has the egg or after it's out in the world. If you want to jump ahead to after it's hatched, that could be fun, too. Feel free to include any of the other dragons (I am especially fond of Lily and Maximus, though they are all charming.) or humans (I love Granby best, but again, absolutely anyone who fits your story would be welcome.) or elements of the world. | letter |
| lessthanpie | The Waltons (TV) | Esther Walton, Zebulon Tyler Walton | o, I keep getting sucked into this show (which is on when I get home from work most days), basically just waiting for moments between Grandma and Grandpa Walton. I love how they interact, so crotchety and yet so very much in love. I like to imagine that they've been calling each other "Old Man" and "Old Woman" since before they were very old at all. There are bits and pieces of their history that crop up from time to time, like Esther being left behind when Zeb fought in the Spanish-American War, and how they lost a son in WWI, and what they'd get up to alone on the mountain. I would adore something set during their courtship or early marriage, but anything between them at any point in their lives would bring me great joy. | letter |
| Letterblade | Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic | What I would most like to see, if you like future-fic speculation, is something dealing with the enormous potential in Sinbad and Kouen's relationship! Rivalship, gen, whatever floats your boat, I'm just intrigued by how much Kouen's being set up as Sinbad's equal and opposite, and they are wonderful magnificent bastards at each other. But if that doesn't ping you, I am all Magi all the time right now (and it will show in a long rambly letter), and would love pretty much anything that isn't Sinbad/Ja'far or Sinbad/Judar (nothing against those characters individually, I just don't ship it.) | letter | |
| Letterblade | Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (TV) | The Shitennou seem to be what's up for Yuletide, and I love the Shitennou to a ridiculous degree--their internal dynamics, their power struggles, their amnesia, their loyalty feelings, their angst, their homoeroticism. I am happy with pretty much anything dealing with them and their outside-of-Shitennou relationships, gen or not, past or present, except Zoisite/Minako shipping. | letter | |

I'm going to leave most of the request details to my letter, since it involves a lot of abuse recovery feelings, but if you don't want that thing, I welcome Utena fic in general. Particularly shadowgirls fic, that could be great! |
letter |
| lettered | A Little Princess - Frances Hodgson Burnett | Sara Crewe | Anything would be awesome, seriously. I would especially love to see Sara as a grown-up, especially as an adult who is a) a proponent of social justice, and b) a survivor of abuse. In terms of (a), how does she react to WWI, is she involved with women's suffrage (does Ermengarde help her? Or maybe Ermengarde is a suggragist and gets Sara into it), how is she involved in social work (factory girls, strikes!), does she help Becky get out of service and go to secretarial school, how does she feel about the British Raj, does she find out her Papa and Mr. Carrisford were lovers and if so how does she feel about it? As for (b), I think it very possible that she could have issues with eating disorders or claustrophobia or other issues as a result of what was done to her. These are just suggestions. I'm just as interested in her being friends with grown-up Ermengarde (who has turned into a career women!), Mr. Carrisford disapproving of her suitors, who are her suitors (can she hook up with an Indian gentleman who is ethnically Indian?), Mr. Carrisford being her suitor (I know I am wrong bad very wrong, going to the special hell), and grown-up encounters with Becky or Lavinia or Lottie. |
letter |
| lettered | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | T. E. Lawrence, Ali ibn el Kharish | Anything would be awesome, seriously. My main interest is the friendship and relationship between Lawrence and Sherif Ali. While I welcome any fic anyone writes about the way they feel about each other, I prefer ones that aren't explicit, either sexually or romantically. This is for many reasons: 1) I feel sort of weird about it, seeing as how Lawrence was a real guy, even if he's inaccurately portrayed here and Ali didn't exist. 2) The suggestion of Lawrence's abuse, whether it happened or not. 3) Both of their cultures wouldn't have been very open to it at the time. 4) The most important part of their relationship isn't love or sex, but respect, admiration, common goals, a willingness to work hard and do that work together, whatever it takes. But it's for these reasons also that I kind of want the UST without the explicit details of it. I love UST that arises not out of physical need or a longing to be together, but out of sheer desire for common goals, especially when that goal is noble and yet the method of achieving it is questionable. I love the idea of Lawrence's need to be a messiah being inextricably linked to love and physical desire, and Ali's need to unite his people bringing out a desire for Lawrence in the same way. I also wouldn't mind if you worked parts of Seven Pillars, other historical documents, or A Dangerous Man into this fic. |
letter |
| lettered | MASH (TV) | Anything would be awesome, seriously. I love basically everything about M*A*S*H*, besides maybe Jamie Farr and Radar. I love Margaret and Hawkeye friendship, Margaret/Frank, Frank's issues, Hawkeye understanding Frank's issues--especially if Frank is still a jerk, Margaret and Charles Winchester friendship, anything about Potter, Potter/Mrs Potter, Potter as a father figure for Margaret, Potter reminding Hawkeye of his own dad, Hawkeye+BJ+Winchester reluctant friendship--especially if Winchester is still prickly and snooty, Hawkeye and Trapper friendship or Hawkeye/Trapper, BJ and Hawkeye friendship as well as Hawkeye/BJ (and okay, I know both of those last ships include adultery, which I mentioned as a squick, but I'm alright with it in this context--especially if it is explicitly addressed). I love a Hawkeye+Trapper+BJ triangle in which BJ feels like he's just a replacement for Trapper and isn't treated as his own person by Hawkeye. I love Father Mulcahy, Father Mulcahy having issues with his faith due to the ugliness of war, Hawkeye being an angry atheist, movie nights and pranks and long nights of meatball surgery starting out with Hawkeye snarking and everyone's edges slowly being frayed until they're snapping at each other and then at the end of a horrendous eighteen hours, Margaret's hand on Hawkeye's shoulder. I love the idea of M*A*S*H in space; deaged fic, body switch, time travel, flashbacks, all the tropes, but also straight up Korean War. I love history and having issues with faith and patriotism and disillusionment and hope and everything about this show; I love everything; I would love anything. |
letter | |
| lettered | Singin' in the Rain (1952) | Cosmo Brown, Don Lockwood, Kathy Selden | Anything would be awesome, seriously. I'm totally cool with gen or romance or smut, as long as it involves Cosmo, Don, and Kathy. Whether it's gen or romantic, I'd love to see the relationships of twosomes within the threesomes. I mean, Don and Cosmo have all of this history together and were friends long before meeting Kathy--I bet sometimes Kathy feels left out. And Kathy and Don have a canonical romantic relationship, which I imagine sometimes leaves Cosmo feeling left out. But what if Don just assumes he's the center of this friendship/relationship, but then he realizes Cosmo and Kathy totally hang out without him--how does he feel about that? Or maybe since Cosmo and Kathy tend to be easy-going people who want to make others feel better, whereas Don tends to be moody, Cosmo and Kathy get along better and Don notices? Basically I'd just like to examine the difficulty of three people who are really close but intertwined in different ways. The reason I love Cosmo, Don, and Kathy together is the passion and enthusiasm they have for the work. I love the idea of them bouncing ideas off of each other, riffing off of each other, hatching crazy plans, finishing each others' sentences, building off each idea before the previous one is even complete. The cool thing is that they do this physically--with song and dance and acting. I feel like anyone watching them from the outside feels like they make no sense. |

| Lexie | Ugly Betty | Marc St. James, Cliff St. Paul | Marc and Cliff barely exist as a pairing in fandom, and they never got even a single kiss on the show, and I request them every chance that I get because I think it'd be cool to change that! I'd prefer not focusing on the cheating/break-up (unless you want to do a post-canon story where they meet up again, in which case the cheating/break-up would obviously need to be addressed, and I would be totally good with that!), because Marc's panic and subsequent terrible treatment of Cliff makes me super sad. http://growingintheweeds.tumblr.com/tagged/ugly-betty |

I'm going to provide some links to my letter and to individual fandom tags on my Tumblr; please feel free to use them in whatever ways will be helpful to you (including totally ignoring them!)! I love the entire Jalgeum quartet with everything in me, but Yong-ha and Jae-shin hold a special place in my heart! I'd love to read anything about them, along any point in the timeline of their friendship - meeting as kids? I can only imagine what in god's name Yong-ha was like as a child. Running around as teenagers, having misadventures as young adults, Yong-ha guilting Jae-shin into going to class, exploring their lives after the end of the series or after 'the end' but before that little epilogue, Jae-shin saving the day (Yong-ha's always the one to swoop in and save Jae-shin's [usually copiously-bleeding] bacon, WHICH I LOVE, but turning the tables could be interesting!), a modern AU where Jae-shin runs an anonymous seditious blog?? I'm game for anything! I love the push and pull of their relationship, and while I do ship it, I'm super happy to read them as bff's, as well. http://growingintheweeds.tumblr.com/tagged/sungkyunkwan+scandal |

| Lexie | 인현황후의 남자 | Inhyeonhwanghu-ui Namja | Queen In Hyun's Man | Kim Boong Do, Choi Hee Jin | This show destroyed me and put me back together again and then destroyed me so many times, but it was so worth it!! I love the two of them - I love Bong-do's morals and intelligence/thoughtfulness and quiet sense of mischief (and the fact that he never, ever wrist-grabs), and I love Hee-jin's warmth and sense of fun and utter unwillingness to take anyone's bullshit (especially her jackass ex-boyfriend's). They were wonderful together, and I was left so curious about what their life after the show would be like - I'd love to see that explored! Or an explanation of what in the world the series's opening scene [link: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc9mf6WR041r3xakeo1_1280.png] was all about? Seriously, as long as it's Bong-do and Hee-jin and you don't break my soul with sadness, I'll be happy! http://growingintheweeds.tumblr.com/tagged/queen-inhyun%27s-man |

| Lexie | Days of Our Lives | Sonny Kiriakis | I find Sonny really interesting. He's such a chill, upstanding, practical dude (I'm pretty convinced that without Sonny, half the cast would be dead like 500x over at this point), and yet his snark is hilarious and I also feel like he would be a terrifying person to have lined up against you if you really made him angry! I'm all about his relationship with Will, but I think Sonny tends to get sidelined a lot on the show; he's generally there as support for Will. Which, don't get me wrong, I love! But for Yuletide, I'd love to see a story where the focus is on Sonny, and/or where Will's the one supporting him this time around. I'd be interested in something set before or after Sonny comes back to Salem! http://growingintheweeds.tumblr.com/tagged/days-of-our-lives |

| Lexigent | Timothy Wilde Series - Lyndsay Faye | Anything for this fandom would be a treat, as there is currently a grand total of ZERO fic out there. If you want to write about Mercy, or Elena, or Tim, instead of following the prompt, go for it. I would like to read more about Val and Jim. Anything, really. There is so much there that the canon only touches on in their relationship. Maybe something about their past and how they met and went from being shag buddies to something else; maybe a glimpse into their future past the second book (they really need to have a fight over Val's women at some point or other). |
letter | |
| Lexigent | Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare | This fandom has so little fic that I would be delighted about anything you decide to write, but here are a few things I would especially love. I would like to read something about Puck after the end of the play - I'm partial to the Globe production, where it was basically implied that Oberon and him had a thing, and he was really affected by Oberon going back to Titania again at the end. Anything involving Oberon/Puck. Anything involving Demetrius/Lysander. |
letter | |
| Lexigent | Star Trek: Rihannsu - Diane Duane | Again, anything in this fandom would make me happy, but if I am to make a prompt/request, I would dearly like to see something involving the connection between Ael and Spock. They had some very intense moments in the canon, I'd love to read something about the effect those encounters had on them after the end of the last book. | letter | |
| Lexigent | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | I would love to read about Quentin and Raj and their "forbidden friendship". They're teenage boys, but also Fae - what do they get up to when they're not getting in trouble with Toby? What kinds of conversations do they have? Alternatively, anything about Jazz and May would also be a delight to read. |
letter | |
| Lexigent | The Hollow Crown (2012) | Richard II of England (The Hollow Crown (2012)), Henry IV of England (The Hollow Crown (2012)) | I would like to read about Richard and Henry's shared past. History says they grew up together, I'd like to see the early days of their relationship explored; how they became friends etc. If it's linked to the (canonical) slow deterioration of Richard's mental state, all the better. I'm partial to slash but it's up to you whether you want to go there or not. | letter |
| Lexigent | Hamlet - Shakespeare | Laertes (Hamlet), Ophelia (Hamlet - Shakespeare) | I would love to see some exploration of Laertes' character. Specifically, I would love to see an exploration of Laertes and Hamlet's past history and the many reasons Laertes doesn't want his sister to get involved with Hamlet. Whether they actually had a thing at some point or whether there's something else in Hamlet's history that Laertes knows but can't quite say when he's talking to Ophelia is up to you. I'm partial to Almereyda's 2000 version with Ethan Hawke and the 2009 RSC version with David Tennant, but that's more by way of giving you a reference point as to where the request is coming from than trying to direct where it's going. Alternatively, pretty much anything involving Hamlet/Horatio is going to make me happy, so go for that if you can't do anything with the above prompt. |

| lferion | King and Lionheart - Of Monsters and Men (music video) | Woman in Red (King and Lionheart), Lionheart (King and Lionheart), Child in Red (King and Lionheart) | Link to the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A76a_LNIYwE Link to the lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ofmonstersandmen/kingandlionheart.html Both the video and the song itself are fascinating and amazing to me. If the song alone speaks more than the video, or the images more than the words, I am absolutely fine with with one, the other, or both as inspiration. That said, here are some of the things I think & wonder about: who is the King and who/what the Lionheart? Who are the woman and child in red, and what is their story? Why are the ruffians after them? Does the woman get free? Do she and the child re-unite? Why is the world so desolate? Ideally, I would like a happy ending to the tale, not a bleak one. |
letter |
| lferion | Two Men Contemplating the Moon - Caspar David Friedrich | Man in Coat (Two Men Contemplating the Moon), Man in Cloak ( Two Men Contemplating the Moon) | Link to painting: http://www.metmuseum.org/collections/search-the-collections/438417 Who are these gentlemen, and what are they to each other? |
letter |
| lferion | Printing and Typesetting (Anthropomorfic) | The Quick Brown Fox that Jumps Over the Lazy Dog, Qwerty Uiop, Lorem Ipsum, Etaoin Shrdlu | Links to Wikipedia entries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etaoin_shrdl | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_quick_brown_fox_jumps_over_the_lazy_dog | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwerty Adventures in typesetting! Go for it! I think this is just neat, and have long had a love for the mechanics of how books are made and printing happens. How do these characters feel about the font-sets (physical and digital)? How do they feel about each other? What kind of trouble could they get into? |
letter |
| lferion | The Iliad - Homer | Odysseus (Iliad), Hector (Iliad) | I would love to see something happen between these two, before or during (or after! What if Hector doesn't actually die? Or in the afterlife? Or perhaps in re-incarnation or something) the story. I do see Hector as played by Eric Bana in Troy and Odysseus as played by Sean Bean, but that's really a visual/aural reference only, and if you see them differently, that is totally ok. Slash could be fun, though I'd prefer it if Andromache were not dissed in the process. Anyway: Hector, noble, brave and true, (also: not stupid), and Odysseus, too smart for his own good. Sparks and snark and adventures. Ideally, I would like a happy tale, not a bleak one, canon or otherwise. |
letter |
| lferion | Sulamith Wulfing - Works | Spirit (Sulamith Wulfing), Lady (Sulamith Wulfing), Knight (Sulamith Wulfing), Child (Sulamith Wulfing) | I love the intricacy and delicacy of Sulamith Wulfing's work, and the closeness and contrast between the bright world and the grey, the magical and the mundane, the solid and the spiritual. How do these people navigate their lives living in the reach of the numinous? What are their joys and sorrows? Any or all of these figures that appear over and over in Wulfing's works would be delightful. Here are four of my very favorites of her paintings, with some thoughts: — Silent Heart (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/237424211578860441/ ) (What holds her in the grey land, visible under the moon? How did she come to be there?) — The Big Friend (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/237424211578860460/ ) (How did the Child and the Dragon meet? What happens if/when the world finds out? Is the Dragon protecting the Child, and from what? Is the Child somehow protecting the Dragon?) — Evening Star (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/237424211578860750/ ) (Is she the star, or only visible under it? What do they speak of? What happens next?) — The Consoler (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/237424211578859177/ ) (Is this the Knight being consoled by the Spirit, or the Lady? Is the Spirit the Lady, or someone else? What is the sorrow? Is the tree part of the tale?) If one of these figures or pictures is more inspirational than the others, please go for it! Do not feel obliged to include all four. Or if there is another painting that is one of your favorites, that would be lovely too (though I'd love a link to it if you chose a different one!) |

| lferion | Paintings - Otto Frello | The mother in the recurring family (Otto Frello), The curious sea serpent from Sofastykke (Otto Frello) | Link to high resolution detail with both sea serpent and mother: http://teilmann.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/idyllochness.jpg Link to post with several good images: http://teilmann.org/?p=4526 Otto Frello's own site: http://www.ottofrello.dk/ I love this artist's world. I particularly love the delicacy and imagination, the detail and incongruities. I love that while there is a kind of underlying twilight feel, hope and possibility and beauty are all there too. What is the Mother's life like? What adventures does she and her family have? Do they adopt the sea-serpent? Does the sea-serpent adopt them, or travel with them for a time? Is Frello's world related to Wulfing's? Ideally, I would like a happy tale, not a bleak one. |
letter |
| lies_d | Let's Go to Prison (2006) | Barry (Let's go to Prison), Nelson Biederman IV | lash please! Really all I want is something about these two and their burgeoning relationship. How did Nelson come around to Barry's 'wooing'? Did they connect over something specific? Was loneliness on Nelson's part a factor? Nelson... doesn't seem like he would be very good at relationships in general, but they seem to really click after awhile. What was it about their personalities that caused them to mesh so well? (A lot of patience on Barry's part, I'm guessing?) A first-time scene would be great, and if you can achieve a blend of explicit and playful, I would WORSHIP you. |
letter |
| lies_d | The Great Gatsby (2013) | Nick Carraway (2013 film), Jay Gatsby (2013 film) | Oh these two... ripe for slash since 1925. Make it happen! Do they have a secret, torrid relationship that leaves poor Nick in pieces, or do they run away together into an alternative happy ending, rejecting the toxic American dream that has had Jay in its thrall? A first-time love scene between them would be fantastic. And/or a next-day scene where Jay puts his facade back on for the world, acting in public like there is nothing between them. | letter |
| lies_d | Eastern Promises (2007) | Nikolai Luzhin, Kirill (Eastern Promises) | lash + porn. That is really all I want out of these two. With angst on top if you like. If there was a kink meme for this movie, this is what I would prompt: Post-movie. While maintaining his relationship (possibly even marriage) to Anna (or some other woman, idk), Nikolai has periodic rough sex on the down-low with Kirill, who will follow him to hell and back as long as Nikolai continues to do so. Niko on top, pls. |
letter |
| lies_d | Emperor's New Groove (2000) | Kronk (Emperor's New Groove) | I'd like to request something from Kronk's POV, set before everything started. I couldn't choose Yzma as a character (she's not on the list apparently), but I'd love to see something about how they met, and their early relationship. I'm not crazy about them together as a romantic pair, but maybe you could explore other aspects of their relationship. Villain-henchman dynamics have always fascinated me. How and why did Yzma recruit him? Did she (in part) choose him because 'hello eye candy'? If so, was he aware of it and did he care at all? Kronk seems like a decent guy (although the devil-dude on his shoulder is often smarter than the angel on the other side), so how did Yzma rope him into her schemes? Did he have something against Kuzco? Kuzco was by all accounts was a pretty bad ruler before he learned a few lessons - maybe something happened to make Kronk believe that removing him from the throne wouldn't be such a bad idea. Nothing too dark please though. So yeah, I just really like Kronk and his laid-back attitude. It interests me that at some point he and Yzma saw eye to eye. |

| lightningwaltz | Metal Gear | The Boss (Metal Gear), Para-Medic (Metal Gear), EVA (Metal Gear), Ocelot (Metal Gear) | I just got into this canon about two months ago and I'm in love. I love how the overall story covers decades and generations. I love how it gives me serious dissertations on history and philosophy and sociology but also lets you run around in a crocodile hat and hide in boxes. And I love, love, loooove the characters. I especially love MGS3 and I'm most interested in further elaboration about EVA, The Boss, Ocelot, or Snake's support team during the Virtuous Mission. | letter |
| lightningwaltz | Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward | Clover (Virtue's Last Reward), Alice (Virtue's Last Reward) | I just really love Alice and Clover's relationship and would love anything more about them. I do ship them a hell of a lot, but am fine with platonic fic. The emphasis on closeness is what's important to me here. I think it's fascinating how Clover idealizes Alice as someone who's really strong and capable (and it's partially because Alice is just that awesome, and also because Clover seems to need a stable point to fixate on in order to feel safe) while Alice keeps so much to herself because she's also trying to keep safe. There's so much potential for interesting conflict and growth. | letter |
| lightningwaltz | Steins;Gate | Makise Kurisu, Amane Suzuha, Urushibara Rukako | I love this canon's nearly seamless blend of comedy and tragedy (see this is such a thing with me). The character interactions felt so real that I was really really really rooting for a happy ending for everyone. With this fandom you could go so many directions; shippy, slice-of-life, incredibly dramatic dystopia fic. I just want to spend more time with these characters. The three characters I asked for got to me in particular but I love the whole cast. | letter |
| lightningwaltz | The Rage of Jonathan Franzen (Blogpost) | Grandmother, Salman Rushdie, Old German Woman, Jonathan Franzen | Ahahaha. Crap. I have no idea how to articulate what I want from this one. I just know that when I read this article I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pass out. So if you wanted to, I don't know, describe how major historical events happened because of the Rage of Johnathan Franzen go ahead. If you want to write about twitter as a demon that swallows up Respected Authors Who Should Know Better go ahead. Basically the more absurdist the better. | letter |
| lightningwaltz | Cocktail (2012) | Veronica Malaney, Meera Sahni | I'd love some post-movie fic about Meera and Veronica. I was a little disappointed when Gautam got two big reconciliation scenes with Veronica and Meera, while the Veronica and Meera reconciliation was tacked on. I'd prefer something on the lighter side for this canon, since the movie put both Veronica and Meera through the wringer. I don't mind a bit of conflict all things considered but I'd prefer things to end on a hopeful tone. It would fun to see Meera showing Veronica around her city in India. Meera's been the fish out of water before, so it would be interesting to see the tables turned. Or maybe Veronica could teach Meera more about photography while Meera teaches Veronica how to cook? Idk just... bonding! All the bonding! If you want to go the AU route, I once got the idea of a Cocktail + Pacific Rim AU into my head and I'd loooooove to see that take on things too, heh. |
letter |
| lightningwaltz | Ancient History RPF | Cleopatra Selene II, Porcia Catonis (Greek & Roman History RPF), Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger (Greek & Roman History RPF), Gaius Cassius Longinus (Greek & Roman History RPF) | - Cassius + Brutus + Porcia; I tend to ship Cassius and Brutus hard in all their various incarnations. I also tend to find Brutus and Porcia's relationship absolutely fascinating and I ship them hard too too. And I always wonder how Porcia and Cassius would have felt about each other when/if they interacted. All three were related to one another, all three obviously supported the assassination of Caesar (although we know less about how involved Porcia was in that/how much she knew etc), and they all just seem like... intense people in their different ways. I'd love to see interacting; whether it's conspiring, talking about philosophy, having fun in the calm before the storm. Anything. - Cleopatra Selene II was the daughter of Cleopatra and Marc Antony, and after her mother's defeat Selene was taken by Augustus and raised in Rome. All of her other siblings have died/disappeared soon after this. But Cleopatra Selene grew to adulthood, married Juba II (SO interesting in his own right and, yep, this is another ship of mine), and then seems to ruled Mauretania in north Africa well. I've always been fascinated in survivors, and Cleopatra Selene is a prime example of one. I'd love anything about her, but, if I had to choose, I'd most love something about her marriage and adulthood (most fiction about her tends to center on teenage years in Rome, so something new would be fun.) |
letter |
| likeadeuce | Pumpkin Scissors | I would love absolutely anything in this fandom. Alice/Randel shipfic would be excellent (I ship them really hard; I'd love awkward, mismatched first time sex or just awkward office flirting); however, I'd love office hijinks with Oreldo & Lilli + the whole gang just as much. I also really like Oreldo and Randel's developing friendship and would love the two of them on a mission, or having a (platonic) night out together with hijinks! | letter | |
| likeadeuce | Black Lagoon | Rebecca "Revy", Okajima "Rock" Rokuro | Revy and Rock have a great relationship, and I'd love sexy shipfic, either in the serious vein (she changed his life when she took him hostage; how does he feel about that?) or comedy (maybe the rest of the crew has a bet on when they're going to get together), or just an adventure where they take turns rescuing either other (like in canon.) | letter |
| likeadeuce | The East (2013) | I'm interested in backstory about any of these characters -- how they got there, 'jams' they've conducted in the past, etc. Or just a missing scene from the movie. I have a strong fanon that The East is an open poly community, and I'd love more exploration of the consent explorations they conduct, where everything seems to be on the table as long as you ask permission/are willing to negotiate. | letter | |
| likeadeuce | 15th Century CE RPF | Juana of Castile (15th Century CE RPF) | It seems Juana is mostly known for being Katherine of Aragon's sister and for "going mad" (or at least for being treated that way by her male relatives.) But she had a fascinating life with so many possibilities. I'd be interested in anything about her, particularly her relationship with her mother and sisters, and her attempts to assert power within her difficult marriage. Historically compliant character study, perhaps with 'missing scenes' or 'lost letters' would be intriguing. I'd also be on board for a what-if that gives her a happier ending (See letter for more). I'm also on board for more whimsical ideas like, "What if teenage Juana escaped dynastic marriage by stowing away with Columbus?" or "What if teenage Juana went to Rome and met Lucrezia Borgia and they ran off to be pirates together?" Magical AU's/ dragons/vampires/ 'in space' are all welcome. |
letter |
| likeadeuce | Kenzie-Gennaro Series - Dennis Lehane | Patrick Kenzie, Angela Gennaro | Patrick and Angie are my favorites! I'd love a case file or just the pair of them hanging out. It might be fun to see Angie's first person voice (either as a narrator or maybe in letters or a blog or something) since we get so much of Patrick in the series. | letter |
| likeadeuce | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau, Nealan of Queenscove | I'd love some adventures of Neal as Alanna's squire, perhaps something funny and hijinksy. Feel free to include any other characters that strike your fancy. | |
| likethemaryellencarter | Swallows and Amazons - Arthur Ransome | Nancy Blackett, Titty Walker, Peggy Blackett, Susan Walker (Swallows and Amazons) | I treasure Nancy Blackett as one of my most formative queer characters, because let's be real. She is. Nancy as a grownup would be wonderful! | letter |
| likethemaryellencarter | Greek Mythology | Artemis (Greek Mythology), Athena (Greek Mythology) | I would just like mostly goddesses, if you can! Daring, adventuress goddesses. I don't care whether they're quite canon, or in a modern AU setting, but I'd definitely like to see the goddess archetypes examined. | letter |
| likethemaryellencarter | Arthurian Mythology | Morgan le Fay (Arthurian Mythology), Guinevere (Arthurian Mythology) | More women in re-tellings of Arthurian legend, I always say. I really like Modern AUs, and I like works that examine women's relationships. | letter |
| likethemaryellencarter | Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh | Website/Journal/Dear Yuletide Author http://ashcanranting.tumblr.com | ||
| lilacsigil | Adaptation - Malinda Lo | Amber Gray, Amelia Singh, Evelyn Brand, Amanda Gray | Fic about one or all of these characters would be great! More details in my Dear Author letter. | letter |
| lilacsigil | Problems - Salmonella Dub (music video) | V Low (Problems - Salmonella Dub) | This is a single music video - a very short canon if we matched on something else but you're not feeling inspired. And if we matched on this, awesome! More details in my Dear Author letter. | letter |
| lilacsigil | Baker Street (Comic) | Susan Prendergrast (Baker Street), Sharon Ford (Baker Street), Sam Neville (Baker Street), Inspector Pinner (Baker Street) | Fic about one or all of these characters would be great! More details in my Dear Author letter. | letter |
| lilacsigil | Captain Britain and MI: 13 | Meggan (Captain Britain), Faiza Hussain (Captain Britain) | Fic about one or both of these characters would be great! More details in my Dear Author letter. | letter |
| lilacsigil | Kuragehime | Princess Jellyfish | Koibuchi Kuranosuke, Kurashita Tsukimi, Clara (Kuragehime) | Fic about one or all of these characters would be great! More details in my Dear Author letter. | letter |
| lilacsigil | Orphan Black (TV) | Art Bell, Beth Childs | Fic about one or both of these characters would be great! More details in my Dear Author letter. | letter |
| lilgenious | Murdoch Mysteries | William Murdoch, George Crabtree, Julia Ogden | I am not too specific when it comes to this fandom, but I feel justified in adding it now that I know the characters a bit more. I am a lover of mystery, but if you find you don't have time to develop a mystery before the due date, then feel free to do something else. If you love the sometimes awkward romance/interaction scenes between Murdoch and Julia Ogden, then feel free to write it. Feel free to add Crabtree or have this character as a main. |
letter |
| lilgenious | Les Trois Mousquetaires | The Three Musketeers - Alexandre Dumas | I left the characters block empty because I want the author to come up with something creative and not feel limited to four characters. However, I am going to provide a list of characters that the author can choose from if they want to, or if there muse has struck with one or more of these characters. Comte de Rochefort, Milady de Winter, Aramis and Porthos. As I mentioned in my yuletide letter, these characters are optional because I do have a love for all the characters in the fandom. I love stories regarding character studies and interaction, but I also love stories that are of a variety of other genres and not just limited to character studies. I enjoy stories that have adventure, conflict, tragedy, drama and humour (if you embed all of these into the story, great, if not and your muse chooses a different direction, then go with it, I'll love the story regardless of what the genre is). I appreciate stories that have the characters flawed and well developed, true to their canon forms but at the same time, standing out from canon. Dark themes such as warfare, revenge and other such stories are a bonus, but don't feel limited to writing about that. I love fluffy stories as much as the dark stories that deal with warfare, etc. |
letter | |
| lilgenious | Le Comte de Monte-Cristo | Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas | Mercédès Mondego (Dumas), Eugénie Danglars (Dumas), Haydée (Dumas), Edmond Dantès (Dumas) | Optional character: Fernand Mondego. If you don't want to write Mademoiselle Mondego, then feel free to write for Fernand instead. Like I said before, I have a love for stories that dwell into the mind of a character. In this case, I have a deep attachment to Edmond Dantès and love stories that go into his mind. Feel free to add in any of the characters mentioned in this request, either in passing or taking a major role. However, if you don't have the muse to go into his mind, then having a story that centres around Edmond would be loved as well. Of course, you can write any of the other characters as the main and I'll still love the story. I don't really have a preference for what I want the story about, so feel free to play around, drop characters or add a canon character to the mix. |
letter |
| lilgenious | Notre-Dame de Paris | The Hunchback of Notre-Dame - Victor Hugo | Fleur-de-Lys, Pierre Gringoire, Claude Frollo (Notre-Dame de Paris - Victor Hugo), Phœbus de Châteaupers | Really any story regarding these characters, whether it has them as the main point of view or mentioned in passing will be suffice. However, to somebody who wants specifics: I love Fleur-de-Lys as a character and would prefer to see her in her canon form. Which is a woman of high birth who goes through a random burst of jealousy when she meets a rival. I don't like the fandom portrayal of this character at all. She has her flaws, her flaw may irk the reader sometimes, but she is still human in a fictional sense. Phoebus is also a character with his flaws and I like him for those flaws. As for Don Claude Frollo and Gringoire, you can do anything you'd like with those characters. Just remember to keep them close to canon and not Disneyfy Frollo too much! |
letter |
| liliaeth | The Almighty Johnsons | Ty Johnson (The Almighty Johnsons), Axl Johnson, Mike Johnson, Olaf Johnson | omething about the four Johnson brothers. Their feelings as a family, growing up, the issues between them, their interactions over the years with Olaf |
letter |
| liliaeth | Scarlet Spider (Comics) | Kaine (Scarlet Spider), Donald Meland (Scarlet Spider), María Aracely Penalba (Scarlet Spider), Annabelle Adams (Scarlet Spider) | Kaine spending time with his friends | letter |
| liliaeth | In the Flesh (TV) | Kieren Walker, Rick Macy, Jemima Walker, Amy Dyer | How does Jemima feel about her brother? What's life like for the family after Rick's second death? What would things be like if Rick hadn't died... Would Amy and Jem get along? | letter |
| liliaeth | Warm Bodies (2013) | R (Warm Bodies 2013), M (Warm Bodies), Julie Grigio (Warm Bodies 2013), General Grigio (warm bodies) | I'm especially interested in what happens after the cure is discovered, after the walls come down. How do people deal with the former corpses living amongst them. Does R still have family somewhere? How does he feel about the people he's killed. How do they spread the news of the cure to the rest of the world. | letter |
| liliaeth | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf RPF), Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf RPF) | I utterly love and adore Tyler Posey, would love to see something with the Tyler P/Tyler H pairing. | letter |
| liliaeth | Spider-Girl | May Parker (Spider-Girl), Mary Jane Watson-Parker (Spider-Girl), Kaine (Spider-Girl), Reilly Tyne (Spider-Girl) | Anything to do with family | letter |
| Lilliburlero | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Just about anything in this fandom would be delightful. I would certainly enjoy a story that focussed on an aspect of detection, but the murder mysteries don't enthrall me as much as all the other aspects of these books. Above all, I enjoy their treatment of social class and ideas of amateurism, their characterisation and settings. I'd be delighted to receive pre-canon or post-canon stories as well as ones set mid-canon. I'm particularly interested in the pre- and post-canon direction of Peter's relationship with Bunter. I love the material culture of the books: rare books, objets d'art, cars, wine, gentlemen's tailoring, but I'd appreciate a touch of irony and scepticism as to the wealth and privilege that makes all this possible. I really like most of the minor characters, so if you want to write from the perspective of the Dowager Duchess or Sir Impey Biggs, feel free. If you feel so inclined, I'd be happy to receive a story set in Fenchurch St Paul or Shrewsbury College in which Peter or Harriet don't appear directly. I also like the bohemian demi-mondes in several of the books: I would really enjoy a story which managed to treat Dian de Momerie in a slightly more sympathetic and rounded way than Sayers manages, for example. Crossovers and AUs would be fascinating and very welcome. I'm interested in AUs where certain deaths don't happen, for example, what if Denis Cathcart had married Mary? I don't find Harriet and Peter's romance compelling, though I like both characters enormously as individuals, so something that focusses on their courtship or marriage as the main matter of the story isn't really my thing. I find Peter's repeated proposals particularly irritating. Stories in which they're fractiously resisting/pursuing one another in a subplot (or married) as per canon are absolutely fine, I'd just rather the focus was on some of the above (or anything else) rather than their romantic relationship. |

| Lilliburlero | Marlows - Antonia Forest | There must and shall be more Marlows fic! I think I might be unusual in preferring the home stories to the school ones, but Kingscote-set stories will also delight me. I enjoy stories about the dynamics of friendship within a particular peer group, or about conflicts between members of staff and staff and pupils. I'd enjoy something about Peter's Dartmouth career too. I'm a fan of The Thuggery Affair. Anything set in or around its milieu would make me very happy, but something that focussed on or took the point of view of one of the Thuggery themselves would be amazing. I have entertained thoughts of a crossover with A Clockwork Orange. I also love Peter's Room. Anything set in its worlds would be fantastic. Brontë crossovers of all kinds would be a delight. I would like a story which sketched Rowan's escape (or partial liberation at least) from Trennels. I would love to receive something that was sympathetic to Ann Marlow, particularly in in the context of the conflicts which arise in Run Away Home. Speaking of which, I think that the natural conclusion of the events of Run Away Home is Giles' arrest and court martial. If you have the Service-fu to write this, and would take it on...I am speechless. But I would also be your minion forever. Any and all of the multiple temporal settings are fine with me, I don't have any preferences there; set events that occur in one temporal settings on another if you enjoy doing that. Pre-canon and post-canon is superb, again on whatever variant temporal settings you like. AUs and crossovers of all sorts make me happy. I enjoy stories which explore the religious sentiments of the characters, but would like to receive something that I can read against the grain as I do Forest's Catholicism. As a guide, I found Sally Heyward's Spring Term rather sentimental and self-indulgent on matters of religion. I am not convinced by the Nicola / Patrick romance, and I'm not very interested in seeing that developed, but conversely I would love more stories about a platonic relationship between them. I like the notion that Miranda and Patrick represent different aspects of Forest's own youthful psyche, and would really enjoy a story in which they met and interacted (perhaps as adults). A Miranda / Patrick romance violates my headcanon on both of their sexual orientations, though. |

| Lilliburlero | The Hollow Crown (2012) | I'm requesting in this fandom rather than Richard II or Henry IV because I'd simply love to receive something about Richard and Bolingbroke that draws extensively on Ben Whishaw and Rory Kinnear's interpretations of them, and very particularly on Kinnear's Bolingbroke. I thoroughly enjoyed the Hollow Crown production of Richard II, and other fic set in its milieu would be warmly welcomed. Tom Hughes' Aumerle was a bit of a disappointment, though, so I'm more than happy to get takes on Aumerle that don't draw on his interpretation of the part. While we're at it, I was completely baffled, bemused and downcast by the directorial decision to make Aumerle Richard's killer (WTF?) so Hollow Crown fic which contrived to restore something historical or Shakespearean to that would have my everlasting love and support. I also liked Jeremy Irons's Henry IV very much, and would be happy to receive fic that took off from his portrayal. I can take or leave Tom Hiddleston's Hal. Joe Armstrong's Hotspur didn't convince me as Hotspur, if you see what I mean, but I've read some great fic that seems to take his portrayal as a starting point, so feel free. I liked Michelle Dockery's ferocious Kate Percy. I would also enjoy any appearance by Falstaff, but I haven't requested him as a character because I don't want you to feel constrained to Simon Russell Beale's interpretation (which I think is ambitiously downbeat, but a very distinct challenge to generate fic from). I would love Falstaff pre-canon. I'm slightly more conservative about AUs in this fandom. I like historical AUs a lot, and that certainly includes 20th century AUs, but I think the political analogies need a bit of time to settle, so I tend to feel AUs might work best when they're set before the 1980s. On the other hand, there are some brilliantly cracky AUs in Shakespeare Histories fandom generally: so if you want to do zombies, werewolves or space, go ahead. I've discovered I love industrial-relations AUs! nationalised industry and unions make total sense as analogies: academia, corporations, and media rather less so, especially in their American iterations, to my mind. But, you know, optional details are optional. Crossovers, especially with Middle English and early modern texts, will be a big hit with me. Period-appropriate violations of modern sexual or other mores are, it goes without saying, fine. |

| Lilliburlero | Chronicles of Prydain - Lloyd Alexander | I so very much want there to be more Prydain fic, so much so that I haven't very many distinct ideas about what I'd like to receive. Any of the Prydain fic! All of the Prydain fic! When I re-read the series for the first time as an adult, I was surprised by how infrequently Gwydion actually appears. Gwydion's off-stage adventures would be just amazing. Taran's interactions with Adaon and Ellidyr in The Black Cauldron are fascinating: I'd love more on these, as slashy as you like. I'd also adore the backstory of Caer Colur, as femslashy as you'd like. My favourite novel of the series is Taran Wanderer, so anything set in or about its milieu will be an instant hit. Like many fans, I want to know more about Fflewddur's kingdom, and would welcome something a little darker or more sceptical concerning that wandering bard-king. Fic from the point of view of the villains, particularly Achren and Magg, would also be fantastic. Arawn strikes me as a bit too shadowy to write POV, but if you want to have a go, knock yourself out. If you have read this letter so far, you might have noticed that I have a certain impatience with canonical het romances. And maybe, just maybe, I'd be slightly less thrilled to receive a story focussed exclusively on Taran / Eilonwy romance than some other kind of narrative. But I'd love them being all screwball comedy at each other as part of another plot; in fact, it probably wouldn't really feel like Prydain without it. I'm also happy to receive AUs and crossovers; though I find them hard to imagine in the self-contained world of Prydain. Intrigue me! |

| lillypillylies | Hidamari Sketch (Anime) | Sae (Hidamari Sketch), Natsume (Hidamari Sketch) | I'd like anything that expands on Natsume's crush on Sae, or progresses their relationship from awkward, tentative friendship to something more. Something tropey would be great - perhaps their friends conspire to get them together or admit their feelings, or they accidentally get locked in a basement together, or there's some misunderstanding with a love letter etc. I'd love to see them going on a first date, or having their first kiss. I'm not interested in reading sex scenes for these characters, so nothing with a mature/explicit rating, thanks. | letter |
| lillypillylies | Location Location Location RPF | Kirstie Allsopp (Location Location Location), Phil Spencer ( Location Location Location) | Kirstie and Phil in between takes, or getting to know each other way back at the start of the show, or something more shippy (because I definitely ship it!). Something surreal or cracky, like Kirstie and Phil giving real estate advice to alien invaders, would be fun, too! | letter |
| lillypillylies | Running Man RPF | Song Jihyo, Kim Jongkook | I'd like a story where Sparta and Ace team up - within the show or in their real lives for whatever reason. I ship it like crazy, so I'd definitely enjoy romance, but gen fic is just as welcome. I just really like seeing them together, and I'd love a story that reflects that in any capacity. | letter |
| lillypillylies | Poison - Secret (Music Video) | Club Singer (Jieun), Bartender (Hana) | I'd love any fic that expands on the little world depicted in the music video. What happens after they get away with the loot? What criminal enterprise are they planning next? Do they usually leave a trail of dead bodies in their wake, or was this an unplanned escalation to violence? How did this band of awesome lady thieves get together - are they professionals or was this their first job? I ship Hana and Jieun's characters, but either gen or femslash is fine. I'd also welcome more of an ensemble fic focusing on all four of the girls as a team. | letter |
| LillyRose | The Caster Chronicles - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl | Marian Ashcroft (Caster Chronicles), Macon Ravenwood (Caster Chronicles), Lena Duchannes (Caster Chronicles), Ridley Duchannes (Caster Chronicles) | hip prompt: After the major events of Beautiful Redemption, Macon realizes what's been right in front of him for years- Marian. Gen prompt: Macon's reasoning and thoughts behind taking in Lena. Or post Beautiful Redemption, Ridley and Lena work on repairing their former friendship. |
letter |
| LillyRose | Spiritwalker Trilogy - Kate Elliott | Andevai Diarisso, Haranwy Catherine, Bell Barahal, Beatrice Hassi Barahal | hip prompt: Cat and Vai verses pregnancy and parenthood. Gen prompt: I also love the friendship between Cat and Bee. Pre-canon, what is the worst scrape the Barahal cousins ever got into and how did they get out of it? |
letter |
| LillyRose | Christy - Catherine Marshall | Neil MacNeill, Christy Huddleston | hip prompt: In the aftermath of Neil's bedside confession, Christy has to sort out her own feelings on the matter. Or I'd love to see his proposal and their wedding. Gen prompt: In her outline for the sequel, Marshall had a married Neil and Christy running a clinic serving the residents of the cove. What's a day like for them? |
letter |
| LillyRose | Earth 2 | Devon Adair, John Danziger, True Danziger, Ulysses Adair | hip prompt: The Elder already told Danziger that he is in love with Devon. When does the man accept it and when does he admit it to Devon? Gen prompt: There's a fanon that brings me great joy: Devon Adair, juvenile delinquent. What exactly did she do? How did she get past that phase of her life? What if her son and True find out? Or who is Uly's father and why is he out of the picture? |
letter |
| LillyRose | seaQuest | Nathan Bridger, Kristin Westphalen, Lillian Strathairn, Malcolm Lansdowne | hip prompt: After more than ten years apart, is there any hope for Kristin and Bridger to reconnect? Super Soapy Edition: Looking for information about his lost son, Nathan Bridger goes to see his old intel source, Malcolm Lansdowne. Imagine his surprise in finding out that Kristin has been hanging around the island for the past seven years or so. Gen prompt: Kristin reflects on the events aboard the George (During the episode "Knight of Shadows") Super Soapy Edition: Lillian Straithairn's bodyjacking had unintended consequences: it left Kristin as a "sensitive”. Craziness ensues. |
letter |
| LillyRose | The Real Ghostbusters | Janine Melnitz (The Real Ghostbusters), Egon Spengler (The Real Ghostbusters) | hip prompt: In one of the early drafts of the first movie, Egon and Janine *married*. If this had happened, how would it have affected the RGB verse? Gen prompt: In "The Brooklyn Triangle”, Janine's lost yearbook tells us that she graduated high school in 1977. '77 was more than a little crazy in NYC — where was Janine in the middle of all of this? To see what I mean, see NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell, available in four parts on YouTube. |
letter |
| LilyC | Free! | Tachibana Makoto, Nanase Haruka, Ryuugazaki Rei, Hazuki Nagisa | I have a strong preference for Haru/Makoto and Rei/Nagisa. Also I love team dynamics and would be happy with Gen. I like fluff and happy endings a lot (you can make than suffer before the end all you want). I also like AUs (any kind), and classic fic tropes, like kidfic, mind bond, de ageing, waking up married... (except for mpreg and alpha/omega/beta) I'm ok with any rating. I'm not ok with rape, non-con, gore, very extreme violence (like graphic torture), incest, pedophile, bestiality, mpreg. |
|
| LilyC | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | I'm interested in the team dynamic, and would love something focusing more in them bonding as a group than romance or porn, but it isn't a big deal, if you feel like writing a epic love story or PWP I will trully enjoy it regardless.We have so little actual canon that I don't have very strong opinions in this fandom yet, anything will make me happy. I love Skye, something with her would also be great. I'm not a big fan of Skye/Ward romantically or Coulson with anyone besides Clint, that said, I'm ok with any other pairing (het, slah or femslash). I like fluff and happy endings a lot (you can make than suffer before the end all you want). I'm ok with any rating. I'm not ok with rape, non-con, gore, very extreme violence (like graphic torture), incest, pedophile, bestiality, mpreg. |
||
| LilyC | Hawkeye (Comics) | Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) | I love Kate, anything you do with her will make me happy. Just don't make her romantically involved with Clint if possible. Pizza dog point of view is always a win too (or just Lucky presence actually). I like fluff and happy endings a lot (you can make than suffer before the end all you want). I'm ok with any rating. I'm not ok with rape, non-con, gore, very extreme violence (like graphic torture), incest, pedophile, bestiality, mpreg. |
|
| LilyC | Captain Marvel (Marvel) | Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) | I love Carol. Anything with her. Any other character you feel like using, any pairing, Gen, Het, femslash, AU... I like fluff and happy endings a lot (you can make than suffer before the end all you want). I'm ok with any rating. I'm not ok with rape, non-con, gore, very extreme violence (like graphic torture), incest, pedophile, bestiality, mpreg. |
|
| LilyC | Vikings (TV) | Ragnar Lothbrok, Athelstan (Vikings), Lagertha (Vikings) | Athelstan/Lagertha/Ragnar is my OT3 for this show I would love something with all three romantically involved. I really like the kids too, especially Bjorn. Feel free to ignore as many episodes as you want (this show gets insane at the end). I also would love a modern day AU, or sport AU where Ragnar is famous player (hockey, football... ), or any AU really. I like fluff and happy endings a lot (you can make than suffer before the end all you want). I also like classic fic tropes, like kidfic, mind bond, de ageing, waking up married... (except for mpreg and alpha/omega/beta) I'm ok with any rating. I'm not ok with rape, non-con, gore, very extreme violence (like graphic torture), incest, pedophile, bestiality, mpreg. |

|
| linaerys | Nashville (TV) | Gunnar Scott, Will Lexington | I would love some Gunnar/Will slash. Alternatively, I'm interested in seeing Will negotiate more what it means to be a closeted gay country star. Maybe come out of the closet. Maybe find some peace in it. | letter |
| linaerys | Planetary - Warren Ellis | Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner | I love how Planetary explores weird alternate or hidden histories, so I'd love a case-fic, in this case. | letter |
| linaerys | Empire Records (1995) | Gina (Empire Records), Corey Mason | I'd love some Gina/Corey femslash. Corey is a virgin and wants to learn the ropes. Or they meet later, and confess an old crush back in high school. They've grown up, and now they know how to act on it. Or alternatively, something exploring their beautiful, complicated friendship, especially future fic as their lives go in different directions. I'd love to see over-achiever Corey rebel. I'd love to see Gina be really serious about her music. |
letter |
| linaerys | 21 Jump Street (2012) | Greg Jenko, Morton Schmidt | Let's make a baby! Hahah, JK. No baby or kid!fic, please, but these two are so in love, it's amazing. I'd love something set in the near future, where Schmidt and Jenko have some pining before getting together as the universe totally thinks they should be. | letter |
| lindseyleewells | Vampire Academy Series - Richelle Mead | Christian Ozera, Lissa Dragomir | Lissa and Christian are my two favourite characters in the series, and I absolutely love them as a couple - I love that they aren't the type of people you'd expect to be good together, but they're sweet *and* badass, which I think is totally awesome. I'd love to see either pre- or post-canon fic - something about the beginnings of their relationship that we didn't get to see, maybe, or how their lives progressed after the end of the series. Or maybe something about the two of them teaming up to solve some problems! Feel free to include any of the other Vampire Academy characters if the story merits it, especially Rose - I love the crazy situations she gets herself into. There are lots of other details and prompts in my letter, so please check it out! | letter |
| lindseyleewells | The Internship (2013) | Neha Patel, Stuart (The Internship) | tuart and Neha were only hinted as as being a potential couple in The Internship, but I definitely want more than we were given! They had a great sort of bickering back and forth during the movie, but it was obvious that they both genuinely liked each other, and I'd love to see that developed on in fic. I'd love to see post-canon fic, either about their year apart after the internship or them back and working at Google for real. (if you have anything you don't want, put it here.) Check out my letter for more prompts and rambling! | letter |
| lindseyleewells | Ugly Betty | Marc St. James, Cliff St. Paul | I grew attached to Marc and Cliff as a couple almost as soon as they were introduced, and I think they were a lot of fun together. I love the opposites-attract dynamic, and I loved the way Cliff brought out so much good in Marc. I'm constantly mourning the way their relationship ended in the show, and I'd love to see them fix their mistakes and find their way back to each other. Or, alternately, I'd love to see what happened if they hadn't called off the wedding and broken up - what would a Marc-and-Cliff wedding have been like? I love the world of Mode and the other characters (especially Amanda and Betty!) so including them in the fic would be really lovely. There are prompts and additional details in my letter! | letter |
| lindseyleewells | Go On (TV) | Lauren Bennett, Steven (Go On) | I'm so bummed that Go On only lasted one season - and I'm especially bummed because that meant the budding potential interest between Steven and Lauren was completely wasted! I loved how Steven liked to have fun, and when the show hinted that he'd be far better for her than Wyatt, I completely bought it. I'd love to see fic of them testing the waters of a new relationship, despite all the things telling them it's a bad idea. Watching them team up to deal with Ryan's antics and get him out of yet another scrape would be great to see, too. They're both really fun characters, and I think they could be great together. My letter has more details and prompts, so please, check it out! | letter |
| lindseyleewells | Lola and the Boy Next Door - Stephanie Perkins | Lola Nolan, Cricket Bell | I really loved Lola & The Boy Next Door - I thought the book was really sweet, and I really liked the dynamics of Cricket and Lola. I loved their backstory and the way they were both too scared to go after what they wanted - and I really loved the way they'd always embraced the "oddities" and quirks of the other. I'd love to see fic set after the book's end, to see more of Cricket and Lola as an actual couple and how they work in a relationship, instead of as just friends. It'd be great to see where the future takes them once Lola's in college, too. And I really like Anna and Etienne, as well, so they'd be welcome to appear. Please check out my letter for further rambling ad prompts! | letter |
| linndechir | Justified | Raylan Givens, Tim Gutterson | Raylan/Tim or something Tim-centric. Please no Raylan/Boyd, not even as UST/unrequited. I headcanon Tim as gay, so I'd prefer not to read something in which he's straight or bisexual - if you don't want to write Tim as gay, maybe you could write gen in which Tim's orientation isn't mentioned at all. In general, anything but AUs would be great: I like fics that read like they're taken right from the show, something like Tim and Raylan working a case together and getting drunk afterwards. I also love background stories about Tim's past and his time in the Army, his PTSD, how he decided to become a Marshal after leaving the Army, or something about his relationship with his Army buddies. If you write Raylan/Tim, I'd be interested in any sort of first time/getting together fic, but I also like steamy locker room smut or more domestic fics in which they've been together for a while. As long as it's not overly cheesy (because neither of them is the type for big romantic gestures), everything's great. I love everyone on this show except Winona, so feel free to include other characters as well, if you like. Since I don't like Winona much, I'd prefer if Raylan didn't spend most of his time thinking about her in the fic. |
letter |
| linndechir | The Wire | Stringer Bell, Avon Barksdale | Gen or slash equally welcome. You could write me some background fic about them, something about their past and how they became so close, or maybe a character study set during the show. And I'm absolutely not averse to a fix-it fic in which season 3 somehow ends better for them and things don't go to shit. Or maybe they do go to shit, but differently. I definitely ship Stringer/Avon, so if you want to go in that direction, that'd be great, but I imagine that there must be a lot of repression and issues about being gay/bi going on for both of them, so I'd like it if a slash fic somehow dealt with that. Much like with Justified, I also like most other characters on this show, so again, feel free to include other characters in your fic. For example I really like Wee-Bey and Bodie. |
letter |
| linndechir | Coldfire Trilogy - C. S. Friedman | Damien Vryce, Gerald Tarrant (Coldfire) | omething slashy preferred, set during the books or after. I don't like the canon ending much, so if you write something set after the books I would prefer an AU in which Tarrant survives as Tarrant, instead of having to take on a new body and a new name and a new identity. Whether he's still the Hunter or not is up to you. If you love the canon ending and don't want to change it, then please write me a fic set during the books. A character study maybe, or something exploring how their relationship changes over time. I find their soulbond and the fact that Tarrant spent a lot of time in Damien's dreams pretty fascinating, so if you include that in some way or other, that'd be great. I also like this whole concept of Tarrant ~seducing~ Damien in various ways. I'm also very intrigued by the fact that Tarrant is (or was) the Prophet of Damien's religion, so any theological debates between them would probably be fascinating. Oh, and if you write a post-canon fic in which Tarrant survives as a normal human, I'd love to see something about how Damien helps him adjust to being mortal again, having to eat and sleep and all that. But I also love undead, invincible Hunter!Tarrant, so don't feel like you HAVE to write about human!Tarrant. |
letter |
| linndechir | Welcome to the Punch (2013) | Max Lewinsky, Jacob Sternwood | lash preferred, but gen is fine, too. Some ideas: 1) something dealing with Max's obsession with Jacob over the years and how actually getting to know the guy changed things, 2) something dealing with Jake's opinions on Max, how he slowly starts to respect him, 3) I'd love to see a post-movie fic in which Jake comes back for Max and maybe breaks him out of prison (or saves him before Max can ever get arrested). How would Max deal with being on the run? What would he do with himself if he can't be a cop anymore? If you write slash, how would they get together? I'd prefer if their relationship wasn't always easy, especially at first, but if they had a lot of issues and conflicts about where their lives and their relationship may be going. |

| lionessvalenti | The Most Popular Girls in School | Trisha Cappelletti, Trisha 2 (TMTGiS), Brittnay Matthews | The Trishas and Brittnay are my favorites, but feel free to include any other characters you'd like. Honestly, I love all of them, but no focus on the male characters, please. If you want to take the characters out of school and on a field trip or something, or set it in the summer, that would be awesome. I'm also interested in what the home lives of these characters are, as we don't see any of the parents on the show except for Mrs. Van Buren. | letter |
| lionessvalenti | The League (TV) , | Peter "Pete" Eckhart, Jenny MacArthur Kevin MacArthur | I'm all for threesome fic here, I'm also all for gen fic if that's what you'd like to write. If you want to do episode-like plots, that's cool. | letter |
| lionessvalenti | Cracked: After Hours (web series) | I like episode-like fics, and I listed a bunch of topics that interest me in my letter. If you're not into any of those topics, I do watch a lot of episodes of After Hours where they talk about subjects or tropes I'm not familiar with. As long as the characters come through, I'm going to be happy. If you don't want to do an episode fic, I like AUs for After Hours, as long as they're building on the sort of ideas and genre tropes the characters would discuss. Or perhaps they're thrown into a genre situation and must use their pop culture knowledge to survive. I do ship Dan/Soren, but gen is perfectly okay by me. | letter | |
| LiraelAlphaOrionis | Arctic Air | Loreen Cassway | Loreen recovering from her plane crash trauma after the season 1 finale. I always wish they hadn't skipped over that! Or anything to do with that plane crash. All canon pairings are cool. | |
| LiraelAlphaOrionis | The Hour | Lix Storm, Randall Brown | Angst is good. I love all the angst. What happens to their relationship after the series 2 finale? | |
| LiraelAlphaOrionis | Broadchurch | Alec Hardy, Ellie Miller | Alec/Ellie. I'd love something post-series 1, about how their relationship evolves now that they're not working together anymore. Missing scenes are good too. | |
| LiraelAlphaOrionis | Hope Springs | Ellie Lagden | Ellie and Hannah's friendship. Or anything about Ellie, really. | |

If you want to write a character study of any of them, something shippy for Ji Hyuk/Soo Ah, Ji Hyuk/Hyun Soo and/or Hyun Soo/Ye Rim, or friendship or bonding fic for any combination of these characters, I will be deliriously happy. Or double-date fic, even! Feel free to include any of the other characters from the drama as I love everyone. (Actual prompts on my dear Yuletide author post.) |

| Lirazel | 응답하라 1997 | Answer Me 1997 | Sung Shi Won, Kang Joon Hee, Yoon Yoon Jae | I love all three of these characters to distraction, so anything involving any of them in any permutation would be fantastic. I also OT3 ship them hardcore as well as just shipping Shi Woon/Yoon Jae, so if you want to write something shippy, I'd be over the moon. Otherwise friendship fic or a character study or anything at all would make me happy. (Prompts at the dear Yuletide author letter.) |

| Lirazel | 화이트 크리스마스 | White Christmas (2011) | Lee Jae Kyu, Kang Mi Reu, Choi Ji Hoon | The born geniuses and Jae Kyu are my babies in this fandom.

letter |
| Lirazel | 인현황후의 남자 | Inhyeonhwanghu-ui Namja | Queen In Hyun's Man | Kim Boong Do, Choi Hee Jin | Really anything involving these two, preferably shippy, but gen is fine, as long as you don't ship either one of them with someone else. (Prompts at the dear Yuletide author letter.) |
letter |
| Lirazel | 학교 | School (2013) | Park Heungsoo, Go Namsoon, Song Hakyung, Lee Kangjoo | This show had such fantastic friendships, and these four are my favorite. I'd love most something with all four of them, but, again: I'm happy with any permutation. Namsoon and Heungsoo are so married it's ridiculous, so shippy fic with them would be great, but so would Namsoon/Hakyung. I'd kind of prefer not to read something set before the show, but that's not set in stone; if that's what you want to write, that's okay. Just if you want some guidance, something set during the time of the show or post-show would be my preference. (Prompts at the dear Yuletide author letter.) |

| Lirillith | Astro City | Jessica Darlene Taggart | Quarrel, Beautie (Astro City), Winged Victory (Astro City), Samaritan (Astro City) | Maybe it's a bad idea, in terms of getting matched, for me to ask for all four characters, but I couldn't narrow it down. You can pick from amongst them - I don't require all four in one fic! Beautie having another, more successful encounter with her mother? Backstory or character study for Quarrel, something about what led her to pick up her father's supervillain identity to use as a hero, or why on earth she sticks with Crackerjack? Or Winged Victory/Samaritan - I love the way we only see one near-disastrous date, and yet you can see from that how they could be (and apparently, going by that one cover, really are) a successful couple. | letter |
| Lirillith | Dangan Ronpa | Oogami Sakura, Asahina Aoi, Celestia Ludenberg, Kirigiri Kyouko | In this case, you don't need to include every character, and if you want you can include others I didn't ask for along with whichever requested character(s) you pick. What I want here is fic about the students' two lost years, the first year of normal school life and the year spent locked in the school. What unexpected friendships and relationships were wiped out by the memory reset, and what didn't change at all? How were their first encounters after the mindwipe the same and different from their real first meetings? | letter |
| Lirillith | Tiger & Bunny | Karina Lyle | Blue Rose | I really, really want Karina fic of any description. Girl Power Trio gen would be great - something filling in some of the gaps during one of the two timeskips, maybe? Or futurefic, something getting into Karina's future career, whether she finally takes the crown and becomes Queen of Heroes, or leaves heroics behind to focus on her music. Or the other direction, pre-series fic about Karina just getting started as a hero and an idol! I just really want something focusing on my girl, giving her recognition as a talented hero, showing her perspective on whatever's happening, and possibly hooking her up with someone who thinks she's awesome. More details and prompts in my absurdly long letter, if you want! |
letter |
| Lirillith | Super Dangan Ronpa 2 | Nanami Chiaki | I really want fic about Nanami Chiaki, ideally something getting into her head and giving her perspective on some of the events of the game, and her relationships with her classmates. Especially Hinata - I do indeed ship it, but that's completely optional. I've read LPs for the entirety of this game, and I'd really like something that involves endgame events and revelations. One spoiler-light option, though, would be fluff about Nanami gaming with anybody and everybody, especially Hinata, Mikan, Souda, or maybe Gundam (that last one is mostly just because I love Gundam.) More details and prompts in my letter, though this section of my letter is quarantined and roped off because it's pretty much 100% solid spoiler. If you're sticking with the Orenronen version, you really don't want to click that link. | letter |
| Lirillith | The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon | God, I love this book so much it's hard to come up with prompts for it. One thing that struck me the last time I picked up the book is that we never really get into Tracy's head; maybe something along those lines? He's drawn to Sam instantly, but Sam has no idea why and Tracy never elaborates. A missing scene from their relationship in general would be wonderful. Or something from early in Sam and Joe's partnership, as they help invent superheroes, or a post-book scene with Joe, Rosa and Tommy learning how to be a family? Alternately, I was really intrigued by the nomination of characters from The Escapist. I have no idea what the nominator had in mind, but the possibilities that occurred to me all involved at least a touch of deviation from the Escapist's canonical history; what if the Radio Comics heroes had a fate more like those from Charlton or Fawcett, getting purchased by DC and retooled, or even like the Miracleman/Marvelman tangle? Maybe bits of stories from different eras of Escapist history, or different incarnations? Did the Escapist turn up in Justice League Unlimited? Is there a bondage-obsessed fandom? |

| lirin | The Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Orczy | Armand Chauvelin (Scarlet Pimpernel) | I love Percy and Chauvelin's interaction, like when Chauvelin thinks he has the upper hand and is being all threatening and Percy just makes fun of him in return. A bunch of that would make me very happy, but so would just about anything else in this fandom. Maybe a missing scene from Andrew Ffoulkes' perspective? Or what happened after Percy and Marguerite left Chauvelin tied up at the end of Triumph? I'd love it if they had to go back and rescue him after all! Feel free to just stick with the old standby of lots of Percy spouting doggerel poetry and Chauvelin getting Very Irritated. That's one of those good things that I just can't get enough of. | letter |
| lirin | Henry Reed - Keith Robertson | Margaret "Midge" Glass, Henry Reed | I love the dry humor of these books, where they're absolutely hilarious but Midge and Henry weren't trying to do anything intentionally funny. As long as you keep that spirit, I don't particularly care what direction you go with this. Maybe additional adventures in between the canon ones...or Henry and Midge corresponding while he's in Europe during the rest of the year...or in the future when they're in college or beyond (I totally ship them and would love a next-generation fic, where they have kids who get in just as much trouble as they do). | letter |
| lirin | Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn | Mara Jade (Thrawn) | I've always loved Mara Jade as a character, so when I saw this was nominated I just had to ask for her! Zahn populates his stories with such intelligent characters and she is no exception. I'd most like to see her with Karrde's smugglers, before she becomes a Jedi knight or anything. More on my LJ. | letter |
| lirin | Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis | Colin Templer | o Colin Templer was my favorite character in Doomsday Book, and then I totally fell in love with the grown-up him in Blackout/All Clear. I'd be happy with a story set anywhere in Colin's life, whether a childhood fic or during one of the books or far in the future after All Clear (in which case he better have married Polly...) I'd really like it if you could explore his relationship with one of the other main characters, whether it's his great-aunt Mary Ahrens, or his love Polly Churchill, or one of the other characters: Mr Dunworthy? Kivrin Engle (personally I wonder if his 12-year-old self might have had a bit of a crush on Kivrin before he met Polly...)? his mother who was so glad to ship him off (what would she have thought of his hopeless search for Polly)? | letter |
| lisan | Lil Bub | Bub (Lil Bub), Dude | Mike Bridavsky | Lil Bub makes me happy. Her little face makes me smile. Dude's obvious love for her makes me smile. I just want a happy Lil Bub story. She could be out having adventures with her friends or spending a quiet day at home with Dude. I promise, you could write a story about Dude watching Lil Bub drink milk, and I would be happy. Just please please no darkfics or sadfics or deathfics or anything un-Bub-like. | |
| lisan | Now You See Me (2013) | J. Daniel Atlas, Henley Reeves, Jack Wilder | I'm not sure why Merritt McKinney is not showing up in the character list, but I really just want Four Horsemen fic, maybe after the movie. They could bring down another bad guy, or have madcap adventures together. Gen, het, or slash are all okay (though I must point to a preference for Danil/Jack), but preferably with plot, an emotional connection, and only between two people (my vote would be for Daniel/Jack) | |
| lisan | Vicious (2013) | Stuart Bixby, Freddie Thornhill | How much do I love Stuart and Freddie? SO MUCH. Any story with them snarking with each other but secretly being love-dovey in their own way would be fab. Violet and Ash making an appearance would be great, but I want the story to focus on Stuart and Freddie. | |
| lisan | 84 Charing Cross Road (1987) | Helene Hanff, Frank P. Doel | I just want more letters, more literary discussions, more friendship. More poetry andDonne, if possible. No porn of any kind, please. Hints of romance between the two are okay, but nothing overt. | |
| lisan | Tokyo Babylon | Sumeragi Hokuto, Sumeragi Subaru, Sakurazuka Seishirou | I really want a Hokuto-chan story, preferably gen, but I'd be okay with her having a secret girlfriend. I'd love Sei-chan and Sub-kun to be in the story, but to not have the story be about them. I just want Hokuto-chan being awesome and alive. | |
| lisan | Six Degrees of Separation (1993) | Ouisa Kittredge, Paul (Six Degrees of Separation) | I want Ouisa to finally learn what happened to Paul, maybe to have them find each other again. I want them to keep on having long convoluted conversations, even if it's just in the dreamscape. Please please no Paul/Ouisa beyond friendship. I wouldn't mind if Geoffrey Miller and/or Flan made an appearance but I'd like the focus to be on the Paul+Ouisa dynamic. | |
| liseuse | Hawkeye (Comics) | Lucky (Hawkeye), Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) | Anything would be great, but I would love to read about Kate and Lucky hanging out, how they spend their free time, what Lucky thinks of the guy who owns the bakery two blocks over, Kate's attempts to train Lucky to do tricks or anything like that. Please no animal harm though. | letter |
| liseuse | The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones | Anything would be great! I particularly love Witch Week, so if you are inspired to write about what happens after the end of the book, or a story about Brian and his father, or the witches' escape route, then that would be brilliant. But, equally, if you want to write about the place between the Related Worlds or Chrestomanci's adventures buying dressing gowns then that would be just as wonderful! | letter | |
| liseuse | Borgen (TV) | Anything in the world of Borgen would be great. I particularly like the tense relationship between the prime minister's office and the media, so if you want to write about a moment of conflict where Kasper doesn't manage something as well as Birgitte would like, and potentially harmful secrets are revealed by Katrine and Hanne then that would be brilliant. As would something about Katrine and Hanne's working relationship, or the backstory between Katrine and Kasper or Birgitte and Philip. | letter | |
| liseuse | 16th Century CE RPF | Christopher Marlowe (16th Century CE RPF), William Shakespeare (16th Century CE RPF) | There are a lot of exciting tacks you could take for this, but I am particularly fond of bickering playwrights and discussions about the 'value' of different types of drama. I like the sense of a playwrights' community that can be brought out through reference to other playwrights and notable people or intertextual references to plays and poetry. If you want to write about Kit and Will bickering over some ale or another tightly confined and personal interaction - which doesn't have to be sexual but definitely could be! - then that would also be wonderful. | letter |
| LithiumDoll | White House Down (2013) | John Cale, James Sawyer | In short, anything post-movie! AN-Y-THING. | letter |
| LithiumDoll | XIII: The Series | XIII (TV), Samuel Amos, Lauren Jones, Ben Carrington | Even more anything than the last anything! I love this series almost unironically. Almost. | letter |
| LithiumDoll | Sinbad (TV) | You can do no wrong. Post-series would be adored, but character studies are also awesomeness. | letter | |
| LithiumDoll | Sinister Dexter | The chances of anyone offering this are so slight, you would make my Yuletide just by saying you know it exists, so just imagine my joy if there were also fic! | letter | |
| LithiumDoll | Lockout (2012) | Snow (Lockout) | <3 See letter! | letter |
| LithiumDoll | Grimm (TV) | There is only love for Grimm, so whatever at all you come up with would be beoootiful. I would just put a no-Juliet-bashing request in (I'd rather she not be in it than bashed) | letter | |
| littledust | bare: A Pop Opera - Hartmere/Intrabartolo | Jason McConnell, Nadia McConnell, Peter Simons, Ivy Robinson | I would be happy for absolutely anything in this fandom. A missing scene in the epic love story of Peter and Jason? Great. Five times when Nadia and Ivy actually liked each other? Fantastic. That conversation Nadia alludes to wanting to have with Jason? Sweet. As long as you write with love for the characters, I am so there. | letter |
| littledust | She Keeps Me Warm - Mary Lambert (Music Video) | Reading customer (She Keeps Me Warm), Barista (She Keeps Me Warm) | This music video is basically a queer girl coffee shop AU, and I love it to pieces. I want to read this love story! What does the barista think of the reading customer's adorable attempts to get to know her? Do the reading customer's friends encourage RC to make a move, or does she come up with idea herself? How did the barista know where to find RC? What are some of their favorite books? Does the barista secretly prefer tea over coffee? I want to know everything! | letter |
| littledust | In the Heights - Miranda | Usnavi, Vanessa (In the Heights), Nina Rosario | In the Heights is a practically flawless addition to the American musical canon. I love the music, the characters, the way the neighborhood is a character in its own right, the sense of community in diaspora, the theme of home. I'd love to see some Usnavi/Vanessa future fic. What happens on their second date? When they're together, how do they tell their friends? How do they navigate Vanessa's desire to escape the barrio and Usnavi's destined role as the barrio's streetlight, illuminating the stories of the people on the street? Do they get married, and is their wedding completely ridiculous and wonderful? My other main request for this fandom is Nina and Vanessa being friends! This can be pre-show, during the show itself, or post-show! I just want more of their relationship! Did Vanessa sleep over sometimes when her mother had too much to drink? Did they have any classes together in school? What kind of shenanigans did they get up to at the salon? Does Vanessa help run Nina's inevitable political campaign with the power of street smarts and fabulous hair? Note: I love and adore all of the characters and Nina/Benny, so I would be more than happy to have them included in a fic. |
letter |
| littledust | You Belong With Me - University of Rochester Yellowjackets (Music Video) | Glasses Guy (You Belong With Me), Jock Guy (You Belong With Me), Girl (You Belong With Me) | For two Yuletides in a row, I wrote this fandom for my friend! This year, I decided to request this fandom instead of write it, because it's warm and adorable and now I associate it with Christmas. In that vein, I would love some trope-y Christmas fic starring Glasses Guy and Jock Guy. They can be together or not together yet, they can go caroling, they can go Christmas shopping, they can smooch under mistletoe... if it's a ridiculous Christmas trope, it will probably warm the cockles of my heart. Bonus points if Jock Guy is able to come to an understanding with Girl if it's post-breakup, but not necessary. | letter |
| LittleRaven | W.I.T.C.H. | Cornelia Hale, Taranee Cook, Orube (W.I.T.C.H.), Kadma (W.I.T.C.H.) | They'll go in my letter, which I'll unlock when I finish. :) | letter |
| LittleRaven | Spellsong Cycle - L. E. Modesitt Jr | Anna (Spellsong Cycle), Secca (Spellsong Cycle), Clayre (Spellsong Cycle), Veria (Spellsong Cycle) | They'll go in my letter, which I'll unlock when I finish. :) | letter |
| LittleRaven | Mansfield Park - Jane Austen | Fanny Price, Susan Price, Julia Bertram, Maria Bertram | They'll go in my letter, which I'll unlock when I finish. :) | letter |
| LittleRaven | Romeo x Juliet | Cordelia (Romeo x Juliet), Hermione (Romeo x Juliet), Juliet Fiammatta Arst De Capulet, Emilia (Romeo x Juliet) | They'll go in my letter, which I'll unlock when I finish. :) | letter |
| LittleRaven | Romeo And Juliet - Shakespeare | Juliet Capulet (Romeo and Juliet), Rosaline (Romeo and Juliet), Tybalt (Romeo and Juliet), Benvolio Montague | They'll go in my letter, which I'll unlock when I finish. :) | letter |
| LittleRaven | Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson | Eleanor (Haunting of Hill House), Theodora (Haunting of Hill House) | They'll go in my letter, which I'll unlock when I finish. :) | letter |
| littlerhymes | Frances Ha (2012) | Frances Halladay, Sophie Levee | I really adored the friendship and love between Frances and Sophie. Slash or gen is fine - would love to see how this could be a romantic relationship or to just explore their bond with each other. Some ideas: How did they first meet? Did something happen that night at the college? How does their relationship keep growing and changing, after the end of the movie? Do Frances and Ben ever get together? Does Frances ever make it back to Paris?! | letter |
| littlerhymes | Felix Castor Series - Mike Carey | Felix Castor, Juliet | Ajulutsikael | I like gen, het and slash, so feel free to run with it! I would prefer the focus to be on Felix and/or Juliet. As far as pairings go, I'd read Felix/Rafi, Felix/Rafi/Pen, Felix/Juliet, Juliet/Susan... um yeah, I'm easy! Maybe some exploration of Felix's early dabblings in the occult at university, or Susan's perspective on her relationship with Juliet, or Juliet's earlier demon days? For a more cracky idea - what if Rafi had been possessed by Juliet instead of Asmodeus? | letter |
| littlerhymes | Tennis RPF | Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andy Murray | I'm really super into all these guys, in just about any combination. If gen is your thing, then I'd love a take on one or some of these complex, shaded rivalries - what it's like for Federer to have the crown slipping, or Andy finally shaking the monkey from his back, or Rafa vs Novak the epic struggle! If you're into slash, I'm pretty partial to Novak/Andy, being friends as kids and rivals as adults and maybe something more in future? And Fedal is of course the eternal OTP. I would also definitely 100% read about Rafa/Nole being super intense about and against each other. | letter |
| littlerhymes | Basketball RPF | Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Garnett, Carmelo Anthony | I kind of nominated a mess of characters here because I couldn't decide whether I wanted the KD/Russ story (rivals and teammates, #notnice and fashionista, with possible bonus Kevin Love as Team USA & college bro) or the KG/Melo story (the battle for NYC, honey nut cheerios, waiting by the bus, and LaLa rolling her eyes/getting in on that action!). So, yeah. I'd be into sweet or funny or obliviously pining KD/Russ fic, or hot fucked-up KG/Melo (with possible bonus LaLa). If none of that sounds like fun, I'm also super into gen about one or more of these players - their relationship to fame, success, the 'what ifs' of sports narratives totally fascinate me. So what about KD's goals as a player, his carefully modulated public image, and his complex about always coming second to LeBron? Or the way Russ plays like he has a chip on his shoulder, his road back from injury, or his fashion ambitions? (I didn't have room to nominate him but I would 100% also read a story about LeBron focusing on those similar questions of success and fame, and The Decision, and the back-to-back. Everything about LBJ's story is intriguing to me.) |
letter |
| liveonthesun | Young Avengers | America Chavez (Young Avengers), Kate Bishop (Young Avengers) | I would love anything exploring the dynamic between these two. As friends, as girlfriends, as partners in crime, whatever. It can be fluffy or dark or gen or explicit. I just love these ladies. | letter |
| liveonthesun | Batwoman (Comic) | Kate Kane (Batwoman), Maggie Sawyer (Batwoman) | I would love anything, but a nice "non-crime-fighting-day-in-the-life" kind of thing would be nice. :) | |
| liveonthesun | Orange is the New Black | Alex Vause, Nicky Nichols, Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson, Poussey Washington | I would love something exploring the relationship between either Alex and Nicky or Taystee and Poussey. For A&N it would be fun to see them falling in love. For T&P, I would love their backstory, how their friendship developed into what we see on the show. | |
| liveonthesun | Kings | Jack Benjamin, Michelle Benjamin, David Shepherd | OT3? Not at all necessary, but would be a fun plus. :) | |
| Liviania | The Lynburn Legacy - Sarah Rees Brennan | I love the characters and their dynamics in this series. So much friendship and love, yet so much angst! I also love the snarkiness, the desire to fight for what's right, and I promise I'll give you more to go on in my letter. | letter | |
| Liviania | Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater | Noah Czerny | This is basically my favorite book series. So much doom hanging over head, plus mythology, and boys, and Blue . . . Uh, I only selected Noah since he's my favorite, but I love everybody. I'd love an exploration of where Noah goes when he's gone, perhaps his thoughts on the kiss, or anything. I'd also like stuff with the whole cast. Or perhaps imagine an unlikely happy end for Noah! | letter |
| Liviania | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz | Okay, so there isn't a ton of show yet. But I love superheroes and I love spies, and I'm loving this so far. I picked FitzSimmons because I have a real thing for scientist characters. I'd love to see them sciencing, perhaps arguing about their fields. Or something with the whole team. (I promise, like always, there will be more in the letter.) | letter |
| Liviania | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV) | This show is my crack and I love it. I could write essays about Oliver (and probably will in my letter). I'm particularly shippy with Arrow; my favorite ships are Oliver/Diggle/Felicity and Oliver/Slade/Shado, in any combination. | letter |
| Liviania | Simon Snow series - Gemma T. Leslie | I want it all! Show me an excerpt from the actual series, show me someone's fanfiction . . . go crazy. | letter | |
| Liviapenn | Les Aventures Extraordinaires d'Adele Blanc-Sec (2010) | Adele Blanc-Sec, Agathe Blanc-Sec | I love Adele's ridiculous courage, devotion and persistence, and the fact that it allows her to achieve the impossible. I'd love to see her on some sort of adventure with her twin sister Agathe (either pre- or post-movie.) Stealing each other's lovers, competing constantly, then being forced to unite against some common foe: hunting down a notorious jewel thief, fighting an alien invasion, staking a sexy vampire? Or being frozen in ice for 200 years and waking up in the future? Two Blanc-Sec sisters are better than one. | letter |
| Liviapenn | D.E.B.S. (2004) | Lucy Diamond | There's so few independent female criminal masterminds! Lucy Diamond is the queen. She knows who she is and what she wants, and she goes after it. What happens post-movie when she and Amy are on the lam? Does Lucy doubt herself or immediately come up with a new life plan? Or: tell me about Lucy's mysterious ex, who dumped her so hard she didn't date for two years. (I would love a crossover pairing for this.) | letter |
| Liviapenn | The Middleman (TV) | Lacey Thornfield, The Middleman | I SHIP IT. From this universe to the next, I ship it. I love that Lacey and the Middleman love all the right things about each other. It kills me that we didn't get a chance to see them in a relationship! I would love any kind of L/M story: a story full of UST and pining that ends with their love unspoken, or a classic First Time trope like "cuddle for warmth" or "we almost died, let's have sex," or an established relationship story where Lacey and the Middleman have to balance their previous commitments and their new romance. (I would also love any of these stories with the Evil Universe versions of Middleman & Lacey, if that's what you're into.) | letter |
| Liviapenn | The Muppet Show | Miss Piggy | o, it seems kind of silly to ask for a story where Miss Piggy exists as a real person with a real show biz career, because WE ALL KNOW MISS PIGGY IS REAL, right? RIGHT. :D So, I would like a story about Miss Piggy's career aspirations, either pre- or post-Muppet Show. Did she really start out doing degrading commercials for bacon products? Did she actually judo chop Cate Blanchett one time over the role of Galadriel? How did she become Tarantino's muse? (I also liked the canon of the latest movie, where she was editing Vogue Paris.) Alternately, did Piggy ever try writing or directing when she was on the Muppet Show? And is there any truth to that rumor about Miss Piggy and Tom Hiddleston? | |
| Liviapenn | Scott Pilgrim (Comics) | Knives Chau | I HEART YOU KNIVES CHAU! <3 I'd love a peek at Knives' future. Does she discover an alternate universe, or become a movie star, or adopt veganism, or move to Prague? Does she join the Vegan Police, attend college on a mountain in the sky, or go to space to repair the holes punched in the moon? Does she ever find TRUE LOVE? Bonus points for Knives being forced to team up with Envy on some kind of buddy cop quest, Knives staying friends with Wallace over the years, or adult!Knives time travelling back to the past to give her 17 year old self some stern advice. | letter |
| Liviapenn | Robot Series - Isaac Asimov | Susan Calvin | How do I begin to explain Susan Calvin? Susan Calvin is flawless. I hear she does robot commercials in Japan, and her brain is insured for $10,000... Okay but seriously, Susan Calvin, how cool is she. I've always felt like Susan is one of the women from classic science fiction who is really struggling to transcend some of the author's fundamental assumptions... I would love to get a story that lets Susan be her amazing, stubborn, intelligent, idealistic/cynical self, and has at least one other person truly appreciate her for it. Susan Calvin isn't an imitation man or a waste of a woman: she's an awesome scientist who's doing exactly what she's always wanted to do, and I'd love to get a story about that. | letter |
| Lizardbeth | Trilogy (Midnight City-Reunion-Wait) - M83 (Music Videos) | The world created by these videos is so intriguing to me, with these special children. Who are they? How did they get here, what happens to them later? Just tell me more! | letter | |
| Lizardbeth | Lizzie Bennet Diaries | William Darcy (LBD), Gigi Darcy | I loved their sibling dynamic so much. Anything related to that -from their younger days when their parents died, to the 'incident' with Wickham, to Gigi first deciding that her brother needs to get together with Lizzie... | letter |
| Lizardbeth | Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (TV) | Alice (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland), Cyrus (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland) | I enjoyed their meeting and the glimpses of their time together so more detail of that. How they fall in love, or some adventure in another land (perhaps one we won't see in the show?) Does Cyrus teach her to fight or does he just watch adoringly as someone else does? | letter |
| Lizardbeth | Foreigner Series - C. J. Cherryh | Bren Cameron, Tabini (Foreigner) | The two of them are always so interesting to me - for all that Tabini's so vital to the story, he's often not around Bren, and those times when they're hanging out together, are summarized pretty briefly. So whether you feel up to Tabini's point of view or not, I'd like to see them together. Maybe in the early days when Bren was new, or later on when they're more comfortable. Maybe there's something we're not privy to in the story? | letter |
| lizimajig | The Wicked Years Series - Gregory Maguire | I'm interested in the relationship dynamics in the triad of Liir/Candle/Trism, or what it could have been. I don't care if it's canon compliant or divergent, but they are my OT3. Maybe the three of them can manage to take care of Rain from the end of Son of a Witch, or even if you expand on things the books aren't as explicit about. I don't mind, I just love all three of these incredibly complex characters! | letter | |
| lizimajig | Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) | The Huntsman (Snow White and the Huntsman), Snow White (Snow White and the Huntsman), William (Snow White and the Huntsman) | From the film's Wild Mass Guessing page on TV Tropes: "Snow White needed the kiss of BOTH the Huntsman and William to 'wake up'. This will never be canon, but I like the theory. Basically, Snow White is polyamorous and in love with both men. So, in order to wake, BOTH her loves needed to kiss her." (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman) Basically, I want it. (I was the one who added "Headcanon accepted" after the guess. XD) I also added the one below it that says basically the Huntsman's kiss worked because he was saying good bye to his deceased wife as well as Snow White. If you can't fit that in with the above, it's fine. I would rather have that than this; I have a lot of feelings about this movie. :x |
letter |
| lizimajig | Smash (TV) | Ivy Lynn | Ivy and Derek are trying to move from a rocky, on-and-off relationship to parenthood. What are the challenges? What are the ups and downs? Fluff is a-okay with me. :) | letter |
| lizimajig | The Hour | Freddie Lyon, Bel Rowley | eason 2 coda. I know, I'm super original, but I'm absolutely distraught about how they ended the series! XD Freddie/Bel, the troubles of the aftermath of what they did in season two, particularly how this may change the two of them. Give them problems but a happy ending eventually? Make them work for it. *g* | letter |
| lizimajig | New Amsterdam | John Amsterdam | Is Sara the one? Or is it just John's wishful thinking that it would be so? If she isn't, is there someone else? (Please no John/Eva.) | letter |
| lizimajig | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Katrina Crane | omething with Ichabod/Katrina during the Revolutionary War. Their courtship, early marriage, or just anything. | letter |
| lizwontcry | Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin | Kristy Thomas, Mary Anne Spier, Stacey McGill, Claudia Kishi | I would love, love, love a reunion fic. 10, 15, 20 year high school reunion. Where are they now? What did they become? How do they interact together as adults? | letter |
| lizwontcry | Homeland | Carrie Mathison, Saul Berenson | I just want to know about Carrie and Saul. Their back story. Their tension. The reason why he believes in her so strongly even when she fucks it all up. I kinda ship them so if you want to take it there, it's all good. | letter |
| lizwontcry | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Shado (Arrow TV), Slade Wilson (Arrow TV) | I'd actually be happy shipping Oliver with mostly all the females in this cast (except Laurel), but I am kind of the most curious about Shado. I'm not familiar with the Green Arrow comics and such so if she exists in them, I don't know her back story. I'm wondering where Shado and Slade are, if they didn't die on the island, and what would happen if they came back to help Oliver in his plight. | letter |
| lizwontcry | Sons of Anarchy | Gemma Teller, Morrow Wayne Unser | o I ship these two to the ends of the earth and back. I want backstory, I want current story, I want anything involving the two of them. They probably have such an interesting history together and I want to hear about it. | letter |
| lizwontcry | Rock of Ages (2012) | Stacee Jaxx, Sherrie Christian | I kinda dig Stacee/Sherrie. That extra scene on the DVD where she strips for him and they basically dry hump each other to death, but then realize it's not what either of them want...go with it. I want more. I want them both to question their beliefs and decide what the two of them really want for their lives. Sherrie is just starting out, and Stacee has already been there. They can teach each other things. In both sexy and non-sexy ways. | letter |
| Lizzen | X-Men (movies) RPF | Ian McKellen (X-Men (Movies) RPF), Patrick Stewart (X-Men (Movies) RPF) | The gen fic of my dreams is actually occurring in real life. Sir Ian said: "We're peers, equals. Not rivals," and my heart went to mush. I want more. Write me some gen hijinks between the two sirs.

| Lizzen | Cooking Fast and Fresh with West (YouTube Series) | West Collins, Victoria Vantoch | There's a Doctor Who episode where a baby introduces himself to the Doctor as Stormaggedon, the Dark Lord of All. Imagine all that megalomania in West Anaximander Collins. Please write me West Collins POV as the most adorable and most tyrannical future overlord of the universe. I absolutely want his wonderful and beloved mommy included. You're welcome to include his baby sister in the hijinks, and you're MORE THAN WELCOME to write West having a major crush on Maison if that's your thing. I am certainly welcome to his daddy making a cameo, but please do not include his daddy's coworkers by any means. |

| Lizzen | Push (2009) RPF | Dakota Fanning (Push RPF), Chris Evans (Push RPF) | ince filming Push, they've been total bros for life. Late Sunday night phone calls, cheeky texts, seeing each other at events, bitching about the biz and their respective franchises, the works. Total bros. Then, Dakota Fanning turned 18 in February 2012. Make like Nick Gant in every Push fic ever and ~~finally~~ get on that, Mr. Evans. I would prefer that this hook up of my dreamzzzz since 2009 isn't ultimately angsty or schmoopy. The stakes are infinitely lower for Dakota/Chris vs Cassie/Nick, but I'm sure you can make their relationship a wee bit epic in some fashion. |

| Lizzen | King Arthur (2004) | Tristan (King Arthur (2004)) | If you're 100% a King Arthur fan, please write me some wonderful gen fic about Tristan and his feels. He's got such a taste for killing; why, and how does that affect him? If you're also a Hannibal fan, you know what to do. |

| Lizzen | Hannibal (TV) RPF | Hugh Dancy (Hannibal RPF), Kacey Rohl (Hannibal RPF), Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal RPF), Hettienne Park (Hannibal RPF) | I love, I love, I love the cast and crew of this amazing, gorgeous, terrifying, phenomenal show. I love every single detail about the behind-the-scenes nonsense they get up to. I love how they've embraced the flower crowns, I love how they're press-ready for all shipping questions AND ARE CLASSY AS FUCK about it, I love how intense they all are about their craft and putting on the best show ever. I love Hugh Dancy and his obsession with airport carpets (and that his coworkers had no idea about it till SDCC), and his hilarious moratorium on Homeland spoilers from his lovely wife. I love Mads Mikkelsen and his obsession with track suits and how his children inherited the most incredible cheekbones. Kacey Rohl, my sweet hipster princess, is literally my favorite person in the world with her incredible talent and amazing use of social media. DON'T FORGET how Hettienne Park live tweets with her mom and it's simply transcendent! Anyway. I love all of them and their hijinks. Pick what you love and write it with this caveat: gen and the canon het are my preference, but I'm open to Hugh/Mads if it's one way pining with no actual infidelity. Infidelity is a major squick for me, especially when there are children in the picture. P.S. Hugh's pumpkins! |

| Lizzen | NBC Social Media | NBC has been showing us an interesting take on social media. NBC Hannibal, a program with miserable ratings and rabid fanbase, has perhaps the best social media I've ever seen for a show. NBC Revolution, a show with great ratings and a tiny fandom, has THE WORST. SOCIAL. MEDIA. CAMPAIGN. EVER. Then you have NBC The Blacklist doing a great job of mimicking the success of NBC Hannibal, and NBC Parks and Recreation has always been aces. Also, both NBC The Blacklist and NBC Parks and Recreation got SUPER flirty with the NBC Hannibal tumblr. While they're no @sleepywriters /@ELEMENTARYStaff, I can't witness all of this and NOT request it for yuletide. Write me fic about it. It can be about the wo/man behind the curtain (what does the NBC Social Media office look like? DO THEY HAVE MEETINGS and rivalries?), it can be anthropomorphic, whatever you want! |

I'd love to see anything with the two of them post-"A Father Should Be" or dealing with Ashley's parents and childhood before being fostered by the Starlight Foundation. When Stormer and Kimber teamed up in "The Bands Break Up", were Ashley and Stormer spend time together without having to sneak off? | letter |

||
| llassah | A Knight's Tale (2001) | William Thatcher Wat (A Knight's Tale), Adhemar (A Knight's Tale), Geoffrey Chaucer (A Knight's Tale) | I would adore something post film, about navigating the murky waters of etiquette, connections and honour when you *really* haven't signed up for any of that. It's not just about jousting, after all. Alternatively, team fic. Or Adhemar fic! | |
| llassah | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak, Keladry of Mindelan, Buriram Tourakom | These three being awesome.

| Llwyden ferch Gyfrinach (Llwyden) | Cabal - Clive Barker | Aaron Boone (Cabal), Lori Winston (Cabal) | I really loved this story, and the movie (Nightbreed, if you might have seen it and not known this was the same thing), and the comics. I think the relationship between these two was nicely developed, but could've been explored more. What happens after Lori stabs herself? How does she deal with the changes? How does Boone? What's it like all of a sudden being a savior to entire species? What's it like dating one? I could see gen here, or het, or various combinations if you want to add anyone else in the mix. Mostly I'd like a bit of relationship in the middle of world-building and/or action. |

| Llwyden ferch Gyfrinach (Llwyden) | Kung Fu: The Legend Continues | Peter Caine, Kermit Griffin | I wrote this for Yuletide a few years ago; I had great fun with it, but I'm sure there are more stories just waiting to be written for them! I would love slash between the two of them; if you don't swing that way, friendship is also great. During the show would be cool, after would be wonderful. Where do they go now Peter's not on the force? What's his life like these days? Maybe Kermit's past comes back to bite him? Or just a slice of life; it's all lovely! |
letter |
| Llwyden ferch Gyfrinach (Llwyden) | The Shadow (1994) | Lamont Cranston | I thought this movie was lovely, but I was disappointed they never made more of them! I'd love to see more of Lamont's story - more of how he became the Shadow, more of how he copes with his past, more of what being the Shadow actually means to him. Margo would be awesome, if you feel like putting her in, too; I love the way she doesn't back down and doesn't take shit from anyone. I'd love to see some of the Shadow's network in action - some of how they all can kick ass (physically or metaphorically) when needed and how strong their loyalty is to him. |
letter |
| Llwyden ferch Gyfrinach (Llwyden) | The Tomorrow People (1973) | John Dixon (Tomorrow People) | I loved this show so much growing up! I've since listened to about 2/3ds of the radio plays, and they're cool, too. My favourite character was always John. I'd love to see a bit more of his life; before, during, or after canon is all great. If you want to bring in the radio shows, that's cool; if you've never heard them, that's fine, too! What I'd really like is a serious character study dealing with John's feelings of isolation and responsibility. He's the first one, and older, and rather isolated from the others. Combine that with his isolation from the rest of humanity, and he always seemed rather damaged-and-hiding-it. I'd love some angst and problems dealing, maybe some shit-hitting-the-fan, forcing him out of or further into his shell. Maybe a crossover? Maybe something set between TV and radio, in the time we haven't seen? Or some long-term pining and h/c would be great, too. Slash or gen would be great; if you go slash, my leading contenders in canon are Stephen (when he's older) or Ginge, but I'm open to whatever. |
letter |
| Llwyden ferch Gyfrinach (Llwyden) | Grendel (comics) | Larry Stohler, Hunter Rose | I can't believe there's really no fanfic for this series! If you're willing to be pimped to, I'd like to point out that volume 1 of the omnibus contains almost everything ever put out concerning the characters I've requested, and it's available online. Alternately, I can send you a copy (via a third party or such to maintain anonymity). What I'd like here is anything exploring the relationship between these two. I'd love slash, but if that's not your thing, just exploring their friendship is great, too. Who the heck is Larry? We know very little about his background, and really nothing about why he does what he does. How did he figure out Hunter was Grendel? What made him decide to help him? Was it a whim? Curiosity? True love? How does Larry see their relationship? Why kill himself when Hunter dies? Does Hunter ever wonder why Larry helps him? How does he see him? |
letter |
| Llwyden ferch Gyfrinach (Llwyden) | Ghost Rider (Comics) | Johnny Blaze (Ghost Rider) | I'm pretty flexible on GR, so long as it's Johnny. I would love to see something late-first-run GR with the struggle between Johnny and Zarathos, and Johnny's issues with living with a literal demon inside him, as well as all his figurative ones. Johnny/Roxy or Johnny/Red on the side would be great. (Or Johnny/Dr Strange; hey, it's a thing I have.) Alternately, 80s-era burnt-out hellfire-shotgun-wielding Johnny fighting Zarathos with the Midnight Sons is also good - they didn't really do anything there with the fact that hello, these two lived in the same body for years! What's it like now? I wouldn't mind Johnny from the latest run, either, but he's really most interesting when he's not entirely human, IMO. |

| lnhammer | 万葉集 | Man'yōshū | Anything. Possible prompts include some of the choka by Hitomaro (the farewell to his wife, the journey he meets a corpse) and Yakamochi (his exchanges with his friend while a provincial governor -- not to mention his tanka exchanges with √îtomo no Sakanoe no Iratsume). Other possible incidents include Tabito's infamous plum blossom party (wouldn't you hate to be one of the untalented attendants who had to produce a poem anyway?), or Okura's exchange with three random river-women (talk about a setup for a fantasy PWP fic). Any of these could get a story wrapped around them. Or, yanno, you could just string together random love poems as a songfic. | letter | |
| lnhammer | Ise monogatari | Tales of Ise | Ariwara no Narihara (Ise monogatari | Tales of Ise) | Given Ariwara no Narihira (yes, the tag's misspelled) is never actually named, this is a pretty flexible request. Optional detail which is optional: I'd like something based on the last part of chapter 82, the story of a strayed hunter (whom we can assume is Narihira himself) who arrives at the Banks of the River of Heaven and asks for lodgings of the Weaver Maiden (so in effect, a Tanabata story crossover). But I'd be happy with Narihira/anyone-who-moves -- or Narihira being a mope -- or Narihira drunk with the power of poetry. | letter |
| lnhammer | 长恨歌 | Chǎnghèn Gē - 白居易 | Song of Everlasting Regret - Bai Juyi | 楊玉環 | Yáng Yùhuán | Anything with Yáng Yùhuán. This can be a Her Version retelling, or a fix-it fic, or their reincarnations trying to get it right, or pre-revolt PWP of her and Emperor Xuanzong getting it on, or a space-opera AU (or jazz-age AU, or hard-boiled nior) -- whatever strikes your muse's fancy. | letter |

| lonelywalker | The Art of Fielding - Chad Harbach | Guert Affenlight, Owen Dunne | I unabashedly love these two even more than I love the entire book: sex, attempted domesticity, the SATs of gay flirting... A relationship fic would be great, whether it's a "missing scene” (Owen introducing Guert to the oeuvre of Bill Murray? what happened after the kiss in the kitchen?) or some sort of AU in which Guert's still around by the end of the book. I also adore Guert's relationship with Pella, and Pella trying to cope with her dad having a much younger boyfriend. Henry and Mike are similarly beloved, as are the secondary characters and setting. I'd appreciate a happy or at least hopeful ending. All ratings are fine. Whatever you do, please no agegap couple bashing, as that would make me sad — although you're very welcome to explore the realistic issues connected with such a relationship. | letter |
| lonelywalker | Literary RPF | Herman Melville (Literary RPF), Nathaniel Hawthorne (Literary RPF) | I find the intense, curtailed relationship between these two to be fascinating. Passionate ex-sailor Melville, painfully-shy Hawthorne, and the two seemingly so captivated by each other. I'd love something that goes into the time they were neighbours and friends, and whatever UST / romance / roll in the hay might have taken place. Or maybe the two of them meeting again later in life, or Julian Hawthorne trying to uncover his father's "dark secret” and finding old letters. I'm also very interested in their group of friends and peers — Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, etc. — if you'd like to write them. All ratings are fine and I'm definitely not expecting thesis-level historical detail if you're worried! (Although that would of course be awesome too.) | letter |
| lonelywalker | Moby Dick - Herman Melville | Pip (Moby Dick - Herman Melville) | Pip just intrigues me amid the rich setting and other colourful characters of the book. What is his background and how does a young black man wind up as a cabin boy on the Pequod? What are his interactions with Ishmael, Queequeg, Starbuck, and the others? How is he changed by his near-death experience at sea? What kind of relationship does he have with Ahab as they come to share a cabin. What do they talk about? What do they do? I'm fine with all ratings and sexual relationships, provided Pip's in a fit state to consent. I'd also be interested in an AU ending in which Pip managed to survive somehow (if anyone could somehow pop up against the odds it would be him). | letter |
| lonelywalker | My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) | Johnny Burfoot, Omar Ali | What I love most about the film is the way it combines many harsh realities — racism, homophobia, crime, the Thatcherist 80s — with an ultimately happy gay relationship, and how Johnny and Omar manage to complement each other perfectly. If you have the background/knowledge, I'd love something dealing with the period in which the film is set and the realities Johnny and Omar would have to face as a gay, interracial couple in the mid-80s and afterwards. Or perhaps a story about how they come out to their families? Cope with the prejudices of the local community? Commit to each other in the face of social norms and Omar's family traditions? Or maybe something about Johnny and Omar in high school, whether they were together then, and why it all fell apart. I'd appreciate a happy or at least hopeful ending. All ratings are fine. | letter |

| lorax | Kings | Jack Benjamin, David Shepherd | Kings has become an annual request for me, because of my deep and abiding love of this sadly short lived show. I love all of the nominated characters, so if you matched on any and are despairing, feel free to include any of the others. I ship Jack/David, but also have no problem with Jack/Joseph, or just stories about what happened to Jack and David after the close of the show. I'd also love explorations of them as frienemies, or becoming actual friends. Or one sided-pining, or explorations of their relationships with their families. Jack is my favorite, so a story that is centered on him would make me happy, but I would also love to see more about David as a King, or his outsider's perspective on the royal family. If you're not writing Jack/David as a ship, then I prefer that David/Michelle not be the focus of the story, though I am perfectly happy having it exist in the background. What I love most about the show is the grandiose nature of the language and the complicated characters and their equally complicated relationships, so seeing a little of how that works would be lovely. I do love Silas and Rose to unnatural levels, so having them involved is always great. And I love how quietly strong but obviously loyal and competent Thomasina is. If threesomes and some uncomfortable relationships between siblings is something you enjoy, I wouldn't object to Jack/David/Michelle in an uneasy triangle. And obviously not even a little required, but I do also enjoy the mystery and somewhat treacherous vibe Andrew Cross had, and wouldn't mind seeing him at all, or with an uneasy alliance/possible dark ship with Jack. |
letter |
| lorax | Skins (UK) | Tony Stonem, Sid Jenkins, Maxxie Oliver, Emily Fitch | The listed characters are my favorite, and I'll take them in pretty much any grouping. But if you'd rather focus on the boys from the same generation, or follow just Emily, that's also fine! You needn't feel obligated to include ALL of them, unless you're so moved! Sid/Tony is my OTP, whether it be in a BFF's of co-dependent dysfunction, or in the shipping sense. I'd love a story where they got together, or even a threesome with Maxxie. (Or Michelle, if you're a Michelle fan, though she's not nominated so no need of course.) That said, I'm not the sort of OTP shipper who can't also appreciate other pairings, so I'm happy to see Tony/Maxxie if that's your ship of choice. All I ask is that whatever your story of choice, that Tony and Sid remain good friends, even if one of them isn't featured prominently in the story. And while I DO love Cassie a lot, I'd prefer not to have her and Sid featured as the focus of the story. I'm fine with them together if you'd like to stick with the canon ships, though. And if you're gen-inclined, just hanging out, growing up, being friends. Road trips of catastrophe are always a trope I love. With Emily, I'd love to see something after her series. While I love Naomi, I've always liked the idea of her and Naomi breaking up and dating around, growing up and maybe finding each other again later. So if you'd like to put Emily with an OC girl, or cross her over with another generation lady, or even explore her and Effy together. (Though of course not required, since I didn't request her.) Or if you're more of a gen person, than just a story about Emily and her view of her relationship with Katie. I'd also love to see her making friends with Maxxie, or Tony. I haven't yet seen the last generation of the Skins, or the post-series specials they did, so you don't need to feel required to include them, but if you'd like to use the extra canon in your story, feel free! I'm not fussed about spoilers! |
letter |
| lorax | Friday Night Lights | Vince Howard, Luke Cafferty, Jess Merriweather, Tim Riggins | This is one of my repeat requests, and I'll start by saying that I do not need all four characters! It's basically a threesome I enjoy, plus a perennial favorite. Vince/Luke/Jess is a longtime favorite of mine. I love the idea of them sprawling out to different schools and places and keep in touch, maybe figuring things out between the three of them and then coming back to solidify it. I'm also a fan of Jess/Vince, or Luke/Vince, so if the threesome doesn't work for you, then I'd be perfectly happy with couples. (I didn't select her, but a re-watch recently left me super fond of Becky, so I'm happy to see her with Luke, too.) It's VERY specific, so feel free to completely ignore, but I think a long distance fic set largely around back and forth letters or emails and such could be really fun. I'm also happy to see the timeline played with a little or AU's used to make the characters stay in one place for longer at the same time. And for a gen option - I'd love to see Jess continuing to work in football, Vince become a star, Luke coming back from the service. I'd love to see Luke and Vince being bros, or Jess and Luke making friends. I'd love to see Luke getting mentoring from Tim, the way he did from Billy. And then there's Tim. I'd like to see Tim HAPPY. I don't care too much about ships, save for I'd prefer him not with Lyla, and if he's with Tyra, I'd rather she not give up her career to come back to Dillon. I ship Tim all over, so if you want to cross him over to put him with Luke or Vince, or write an earlier set fic with him and Jason (Or Jason and Lyla, or Tyra), or with Smash or Landry or whoever - I am flexible. All I request is not pairing him with either Billy or Becky. (But platonic, big-brother style fic with Becky is AWESOME.) Tim's life is perpetually bittersweet, so I don't need a cotton candy parade of fluff, but I'd like there to be some hope. Whether you do that by setting it after the series with Tim building his house and a life, or by AU is up to you - I'd be happy with either! FNL is one of those shows where I love everybody, so if you matched on any and there's other characters you want to include, chances are I'd be fine with it. I like Lyla and came to like Buddy, but in general the Garrity's are probably on the lower end of my interests, so maybe not focus exclusively on them. |
letter |
| lorax | Young Avengers | America Chavez (Young Avengers), Teddy Altman (Young Avengers) | This is another fandom where if you match on any, I really do love most of the team, so I'm happy to see the others included. And you needn't focus on the two of these characters together, if you'd rather keep the focus on one or the other. But I'd like the story to focus around one or the other! I ship Teddy/Billy like crazy, so I'm happy to see them together in the story. But Billy's drama tends to usually overshadow Teddy, so I'd like to see him being more central, whether or not they're together. If you'd like to explore him and David, or just Teddy himself without a ship included, that is also perfect. With America, I basically just want everything. I like how she interacts with Loki (though I'd rather not see them shipped!), and how very matter of fact she is. She takes everything in stride. I'd love to see her opening up with her team members, or a look back at her as a childhood. Missing scenes in the dimensional hopping, or a future look at her integrating more into the wider marvelverse alongside the others. Anything! I don't particularly ship her with anyone, but if you want to pair her off, feel free! (fem, het, threesomes - go nuts, whatever works for you! I'd just rather not see her with Loki, Billy, or Teddy in a romantic sense.) I'd also love to see her rescue Teddy (and David, if you like) and them having an adventure together. I've read all of the new run of YA, and MOST of the older stuff, so am happy to see anything set at any point. But I really like the dimension hopping aspect of the new series, and would love to see that played with, so I have a slight preference for the latest run. I have a soft spot for Tommy, David, and Kate too, so if you're a fan of any of them, and want to use them to tell your story, go for it. (I haven't read all of the series David and Kate appear in, but I know most of the basics and am not bothered about spoilers.) |
letter |
| lorax | Make It or Break It | Payson Keeler, Sasha Beloff, Lauren Tanner, Jordan Randall | Make it or Break It is a very rare fandom for me, because my OTP is a het age gap couple. I ship Sasha/Payson HARD, dear author. But I signed up for all four characters because I do love them all (and also the un-nommed ones), so if that is not your scene, I'd be just as happy with Payson and Sasha as coach and coachee, or with Payson/Lauren, or Lauren/Jordan. Or basically any femme pairing (or poly group) with the girls. I love Kelly and Kaylie too, so if you'r here on "any", feel free to use them. I did like Emily too, but her storyline left me with a bad taste in my mouth, so I'd rather she and the baby storyline not be lingered on, or made the central focus. If you're into the ship, I'd love to see Payson post-Olympics, growing up and growing into a relationship with Sasha. Maybe competing in college, or doing a professional tour. Or I'd love to see more of the girls at Olympic training camp, or going to the Olympics! Shippy or not, I'd really love to see the girls all achieve their goal and end up at the Olympics. (Feel free to AU and put them in London or whatever suits you!) You don't have to use all four of the characters I nominated, though if you want to, that's great too! If you want to use any of the other girls, that's lovely too. I'd like there to not be a hard focus on Kaylie's eating disorder recovery (though having it in the background is totally fine), and I'd really rather avoid having Summer around in any capacity aside from supporting Lauren. |
letter |
| lorax | Nashville (TV) | Scarlett O'Connor, Gunnar Scott, Will Lexington | Please don't hate me writer, because I am basically all about the OT3 here. I love the wider cast of Nashville, so I'm happy to see other characters and if you're not up for a shippy story, then I'd love just the three of them being friends or interacting with the larger cast (if you connected on any). But I'd like the story to focus on the three of them. I love when Scarlett has a backbone and stands up for herself, so I'd love to see her being the one to propose things and negotiate where they stand. I'm fine with either an integrated threesome, or with more of a triad relationship with Gunnar at the center. I'd love to see the three of them getting together, or an established relationship where they deal with revealing it to the press (or hiding it) once they have careers on the rise. If you're here on "any", I love pretty much all the other ladies of this show (Rayna, Juliette, Tandy, the girls), but don't have a ton of interest in Avery or Teddy. I do like Deacon. I'm up to date, so you can feel free to pull from any time period. Don't feel like I won't be as happy with gen, as I will! Just make it all about Scarlett or one of the boys and I'll be thrilled. I'd also love to see more of the three of them building a friendship, Gunnar dealing with the pressure of being in the background while Will and Scarlett get the spotlight. Or maybe getting his own deal? |

| LorelaiSquared | Lizzie Bennet Diaries | Lizzie Bennet William Darcy (LBD) | I love these two and I love angst and basically would be happy to read just about anything about them. Also anything dealing with the relationships between Lizzie and her sisters would be excellent. | |
| LorelaiSquared | Nashville (TV) | Juliette Barnes, Rayna Jaymes | I would really love to see something where Rayna mentors Juliette in some way and helps guide her to make some better choices. | |
| lorenleah | Diabolik Lovers (Visual Novel) | Sakamaki Reiji, Sakamaki Raito | *Characters I didn't officially request but would love: Ayato, Yui, Kanato *My ships: Reiji x Yui, Yui x Reiji, Reiji/Shuu (reversible). If you're really stumped on something to write I would also happily read Ayato/Yui and Kanato/Yui. *Ideas: Anything that delves a little more deeply into the characters/setting than canon does will make me extremely happy. Reiji is my #1 favorite and I would love to see any kind of sibling interaction with him and his brothers, especially something positive/constructive/where they're actually acting like a family, and especially if the story has a strong element of plot to it. Perhaps it could be a story about them getting into some kind of trouble in the human world, or intrigues in vampire high society -- what do they do at those balls when Yui's not around? Does Karlheinz ever hold court or the like, and are the brothers obligated to be there? -- or something generally touching on your particular idea of vampire culture and the boys' upbringing. I'm kind of fascinated by the fact that vampires apparently consider death a cause for celebration; how do you think their culture reconciles this value with the fact that obviously most of them desire to live or else they'd've killed themselves already? How do Reiji and Raito and the boys reconcile this particular value? Given Reiji's particular goals it's understandable why he hasn't tried to die yet even though canon indicates he subscribes to this cultural value, but what do you think drives Raito or the other siblings? The world and characters and the characters' issues are my primary interest in DiaLovers, but I'd also love to read ship fic. I would be especially interested in a continuation of Reiji's ending 02, possibly exploring things from Reiji's POV -- how he ended up in this situation, his feelings on it/for Yui, what he plans to do in the future etc. I would also love to see something mid-canon or ending 01-based with Reiji and Yui sharing some sweeter than usual moments together. If you're ambitious, I also ship Reiji/Shuu based on how absolutely passionate their hate is for each other -- Shuu makes an effort for Reiji where he never does for anyone else and I find that absolutely fascinating. I would love to see them interacting in any capacity (not just a sexual tension-related one but also simply as brothers), carrying out some kind of activity together -- maybe a mission from their father? -- and maybe managing to reconcile their differences in some small way. I'd also love to see Reiji provoking Shuu in some way that leads to a fight for dominance. Really anything that explores the pair's issues with each other would be fantastic. As for Raito, I talked a bit about him above, but I don't really ship him much with Yui; I would just be extremely interested to see a fic that explores his character, his backstory and motivations and plans for the future, what kind of place he has in vampire society, anything you want to delve into regarding him. He's a character where I felt like he constantly hid his true self from us throughout the game, so I would love to see a fic that touched on his vulnerable side a little (including Yui or the brothers or whichever supporting characters). Since the More Blood game isn't out yet as of this nomination period, I have chosen not to include anything related to it here. I would prefer you not include/mention the Mukami brothers because I'm a bit of a spoilerphobe and I don't know if I'll have the game finished by the time Yuletide fics come out. |

| lorenleah | Arthurian Mythology | Lancelot du Lac (Arthurian Mythology), Galehaut (Arthurian Mythology) | *Characters I didn't officially request but would love: Gawain, Ector de Maris, Arthur (not sure if he was nominated, use your own judgement) *My ships: Galehaut/Lancelot, Gawain/Lancelot, Arthur/Lancelot *Ideas: I really just love Lancelot. I'm absolutely mad for Lancelot right now (I'm new to Arthuriana and everything is shiny!) so anything you write me with Lancelot in it is going to make me happy. I would love to see a Lancelot and Galehaut romance where Lancelot chooses him over Guinevere, a general friendship story about the characters -- what it is Galehaut sees in Lancelot and vice versa -- or a story of them doing things together. Questing, court intrigues (political relations between Logres and the Distant Isles?) or a day in the life at Sorelois or what have you; maybe Galehaut convincing an overworked Lancelot to take a break from fighting the kingdom's ills to just be with him for a while. I would love to see a somewhat happier Lancelot and Galehaut story than we get in canon, but if you're more interested in the tragic side of the relationship feel free to explore that instead. I would equally love to see any of the above stuff with Gawain, or in his case I'd love to see a shippy story that weaves Gawain/Lancelot through the general events of canon (throwing together whichever versions you like best) to write the tragedy of how even though they're in love they've ended up at war and eventually directly trying to kill each other. (In this case I would personally imagine that Lancelot/Guinevere still happened but that on Lancelot's side it wasn't romantic, more trying to look after the queen's happiness/welfare in some way. Or perhaps it was all a big mix-up, or a conspiracy of Agravaine and Mordred?) I'd also love a story of Lancelot's conflicted love for Arthur, or a story touching on the rape by Elaine of Corbenic/rejection by Guinevere/his subsequent two year mental breakdown, or a story about weary and broken Lancelot alone at the abbey after the end of everything. Given that he's traditionally supposed to have retired to Glastonbury Abbey and Avalon is also traditionally said to be located/accessible from around there, I have a vague headcanon that maybe after losing everything he went back there on one last quest -- trying to get to the land under the lake and at least see his old home and foster mom one last time -- but that he was rejected/wasn't allowed to return, and in his despair just ended up drifting into an abbey and staying there. Depressing as it is, I'd be interested to see this idea written out properly, if it happens to ping you. I'm also extremely interested in Lancelot's origins -- the mess with Benoic and Claudas, his childhood in the land under the lake, his foster mother and all his familial relations. I nominated Ector de Maris because he's so rarely written about -- I'd be delighted to see a story exploring his and Lancelot's familial ties, how they relate to each other as half brothers, what Lancelot makes of Ector and vice versa. I would also be very interested in a story that was mostly or only about Ector just because we have so little of him! I'd love to see your take on him, who he is, his adventures, how he might relate to the other knights of Camelot, etc. ---Canon/character versions--- Canon flavor: I prefer a swords-and-sorcery fantasy or at least solidly mythological version of Arthuriana rather than the pseudo-historical/dark ages after the Romans variety. Do throw in whatever magical or fantastical elements you feel like (if any), don't worry about historical accuracy because I won't be looking for it. Anachronisms are fine. Lancelot: I know characterizations differ, but I generally picture Lancelot as a genuinely kind, gentle, chivarous, upstanding and well-meaning person, perhaps a bit on the naive or fairy-touched side. Lancelot characterizations I've liked include TH White, Gwen Rowley, the Vulgate Cycle, and Fate/Zero. I will be happy to read about whatever kind of Lancelot you like to write, though -- the only thing I absolutely don't enjoy is seeing him written as an arrogant jerk. Gawain: Mostly I prefer gracious noble sun knight Gawain over rowdy uncouth Gawain, but my favorite is probably portrayals that blend both. No dialect please. Arthur: I prefer noble sweet idealistic Arthur to pragmatic morally-grey Arthur. A little of both is okay, though I'd like if he was ultimately well-meaning. Everyone else: I'm not picky, you probably have your own ideas and I'd love to see them! |

| lorenleah | Crimson Empire ~Circumstances to Serve a Noble~ (Visual Novel) | Curtis Nile | *Characters I didn't officially request but would love: Rambures, Ciela (Sheila) *My ships: Curtis/Ciela (reversible), Rambures/Ciela (reversible) *Ideas: Give me Curtis Nile. All the Curtis Nile. His past, his relationships with the other characters and with his fellow assassins and apprentices, the specific events that led to him ending up in the assassinating business/in the Guild/running the Guild, his childhood as an orphan in the slums, etc. I personally imagine him and the assassin from Wizard and the Master as old friends, maybe even having grown up together, and I'd love to see fic along those lines -- the darker and more full of woobie Curtis the better ahem ahem. I would also love to see anything with Curtis and Ciela, romantic or not -- the pair of them finally acknowledging that they're important to one another, or running a job together, or maybe somehow getting thrown together during a festival or something. I would be totally fascinated to read a story set present-day in Crimson Empire time but post-Curtis route in Arabians Lost, where Edward visits Gil-Katarl or Aileen visits Luxonne, and through this Ciela and Curtis chance to meet again and Ciela finds out her old teacher (and maybe old crush) is currently banging Gil-Katarl's princess. :'D Alternately I would love to see anything Rambures/Ciela, particularly anything with Rambures getting to display his darker side, or fic where they continue learning more about each other. Badass as Rambures is I would also love to see him laid low somehow, and/or Ciela getting to jump into action to protect him. Or the pair of them kicking ass and taking names as a couple would be fun. |

| lorenleah | Fate/Zero | Berserker (Fate/Zero) | *Characters I didn't officially request but would love: Lancer, Kariya, Saber, Gilgamesh, Kirei. Really anyone nominated if you can make an interesting story out of them with Lancelot, actually, whether he's met them or not. I JUST REALLY LOVE LANCELOT AHEM *My ships: Saber x Berserker, Kariya x Berserker, Lancer/Berserker (reversible shh it's a crackship I know). If all else fails for you I also like Gil/Kirei (reversible) though I'm a bit picky about it. *Ideas: Basically if you write me Lancelot you will make me happy. I realize within the main timeline of Fate/Zero itself this is a tough order, so feel free to massage canon however you have to in order to make this happen. I would love to see Lancelot interacting with anybody at all, or an exploration of how Mad Enhancement affects him. It would be great to see a fic where he and Kariya get a chance to actually talk and get to know each other, maybe where they manage to comfort each other somehow, or where Lancelot is actually consciously able to protect Kariya and make a choice to fight for him. I would be interested in seeing something where they're able to communicate but that doesn't completely remove the element of madness from Lancelot's character/the relationship. I'm also really fond of Matou house in general, so something involving Lancelot there, maybe interacting with Byakuya or the like, would be really fun. Oh and I really like... crest worms................ So if you're into that there you go lol. And also, naturally, I love Lancelot's relationship with Arturia. Anything exploring this would be really fascinating -- I'd love to see your personal take on the feelings between them, whether shippy or platonic. (I personally imagine that Fate!Lancelot was in love with Arturia, who he couldn't have, and platonically loved Guinevere but chose to be with her to try to be some comfort in her unhappy marriage; but I'd be extremely interested to see your personal interpretation of the relationship.) I'd be interested to see something set in their past, but I would especially love seeing Saber and Berserker somehow brought together and able to talk/interact in the present day. For that matter, it would be really interesting to see Team Berserker come into contact with Team Saber in general (maybe before the kidnapping lol...) Lancelot/Diarmuid is a favored crackship of mine, but I just like the idea of these two interacting in any way. If they got a chance to talk, what would they have to say to each other? They have a lot in common, but do you think they'd be inclined to excuse each other's faults, or be understanding/commiserate, or would they mutually disapprove of each other? I also think this is a series that lends itself well to AUs, particularly considering all the canon and semi-canon ones we already have. Feel free to do things like playing fast and loose with the magic system, swapping Masters and Servants or changing the meaning of those roles, stopping the Grail War in its tracks or even removing it entirely, post-canon AU where everyone somehow magically survives, or whatever else comes to mind for you. I often roleplay in an AU setting where Command Spells are permanent/perpetual and arrogant mages keep Servants around as status symbols and toys; if the idea pings you feel free to run with it. I'm also extremely fond of the "Head of House Kariya" (当主雁夜) AU often seen around Pixiv, featuring Kariya as having taken his original promised place as head of Matou and Lancelot as his proverbial guard dog; I would love to see a fic based around it. |

| lorenleah | Ao no Exorcist | Blue Exorcist | Mephisto Pheles | *Characters I didn't officially request but would love: ANYONE with Mephisto. *My ships: Shirou/Mephisto (somewhat reversible), kiiiinda Angel/Mephisto (reversible hateship??) *Note: If possible I would prefer fic based on the manga, or at least leaving out the finale arc of the anime (I really disliked the Satan and Yuri stuff). *Ideas: I originally had a longer writeup here but it accidentally got erased, sorry :( but basically I just love Mephisto. Anything and everything about Mephisto, Mephisto interacting with anyone at all. I would love to see a fic that got into his head or touched on some of the many questions canon leaves us about him: How and why exactly did he get involved with the True Cross? What is his actual relationship with Satan/what is the power balance like in Gehenna/what was it like presumably growing up there? If you're caught up on the manga, what's the nature of his relationship with the spoiler character? What's the real real relationship between Mephisto Pheles/Samael, Mephistopheles, and Johann Faust? How did he earn all those other names over the centuries? (It may not be in the spirit of Yuletide so use your good judgement, but I'd be interested in Avengers-flavored fic featuring Mephisto as Loki, or a Loki.) What, ultimately, does he really want? I especially love his mysterious relationship with Shirou, and I'd love to see fic focused on the two of them -- their history, how they ended up working together, what their true plans were, what they actually meant to each other; how did it come to pass that a guy like Mephisto was the one person Shirou trusted to hand over his twins to after his death? I'd be really interested in a fic where they were on some kind of mission being badasses or facing True Cross political intrigues as a team. If you ship it, I'd love to see a fic of how they got together, or a fic about the sorts of conflicts and internal worries they might have in their relationship -- Shirou dealing with being in love with an often unfathomable time-and-space-warping demon, vs Mephisto trying to handle the idea of a human's short lifespan and genuinely opening up to someone, etc. I would love to see Mephisto having some kind of vulnerable moment with Shirou. Do you think Shirou knew Mephisto's real name/background? In general I would love to see some of Mephisto's well-kept secrets coming out to just about anybody, especially if it put him in a vulnerable position. One other set of interactions I'm especially interested in is Mephisto with Rin and Yukio. I'd love to see something dealing with the fact that they are blood relations, Yukio included. Rin has managed to stay oblivious to this truth in canon for all this time despite the mounting evidence, but how would he react if it were suddenly shoved right in front of his face somehow? How would Yukio? (Or does Yukio already know?) I would love to see the three of them being treated like and/or behaving like actual family for once, or generally Mephisto interacting with them as a real person so to speak rather than their headmaster/boss. Also I'm interested in Mephisto and Angel as either rivals or a sexually-charged hateship, and I'd love to see your take on their mutual history together, or perhaps some of Angel's history specifically/where you think he came from/what his ultimate objectives are. I'd be interested to see a more sympathetic take on him where he's nevertheless still the gigantic asshole we see in canon. |

| lorenleah | Uta no Prince-sama | Shinomiya Satsuki | *Characters I didn't officially request but would love: Jinguuji Ren, Tsukimiya Ringo *My ships: Ren/Satsuki or Ren/Natsuki/Satsuki (reversible), Natsuki x Satsuki, Shou x Satsuki (or Shou x Natsuki and Satsuki), Ryuuya x Ringo (I don't think Hyuuga-sensei got a nom so use your own judgement) *Ideas: I JUST REALLY LOVE SATSUKI. I would love to see Satsuki having meaningful interactions with anybody at all, particularly if they involved getting to see his softer side. Any of the other characters getting to know him, doing school projects or performing or going on outings with him, etc (any point in the UtaPri timeline). If you're familiar with the games I'd be interested to see anyone interacting with him during that portion of the Natsuki route in Repeat where Satsuki completely took over the body, and I'd also love to see something set after Natsuki's Friendship After Story, where Natsuki and Satsuki and Shou all form an idol group together. And I would love to read a fic where Starish tries to integrate Satsuki as its eighth member (or seventh if you'd rather leave off Cecil), and how Satsuki reacts to this (I imagine he'd be a bit reluctant?), how he begins tentatively opening up to any/all of the other members, the group learning about Satsuki and Natsuki's history, etc. An especially interesting angle to me related to this idea would be seeing Satsuki/Natsuki's daily life and Natsuki trying to make arrangements to share the body a little more (possibly over Satsuki's protests? since he's always trying to put Natsuki first), and how this might lead to Natsuki trying to live a bit less in denial of his condition/life problems, and maybe take some steps toward living more healthily with his other half -- possibly talking to a therapist, being more honest with his friends and so forth. Though Natsuki and Satsuki are a pretty fantastical version of DID, I'd be interested to see some psychological realism injected into the situation and their relationship. I'm aware Ren/Natsuki/Satsuki is a pretty crack pairing but if the idea pings you I'd love to see your take on it. I like it as a union of two (three) very damaged people finding that they complement one another and that it's comforting to spend time around somebody who isn't going to judge them for their issues, and maybe Ren and Satsuki both learning to relax a little more since they both seem to have such trust/intimacy problems. If nothing else they could bond over their emotionally distant families and love of bad cooking... Ren and Satsuki friendship/getting to know each other would also be extremely welcome. Shou x Satsuki and Natsuki is a pairing where Shou being seme is really really important to me, I don't enjoy it the other way around. I dislike it so much the other way around that I considered not listing it on here at all. If you decide to write it please make sure Shou is otokogi zenkai and the more together/stable of the pair as he often is in canon. That said, I'd love to see a good getting-together fic for them, or perhaps a fic about Shou's POV on Natsuki/Satsuki's mental issues -- maybe touching on how Natsuki doesn't remember him when they reunite at Saotome Academy in the game version. And then there's Ringo-sensei! I would love to see some backstory fic, maybe about his own time at Saotome Academy, his first meeting with Ryuuya, or if you ship it maybe a getting-together fic. (Or maybe just a fic about the former hooligan and the prankster kid getting into trouble together?) I'd also love to see some elaboration on how crossdressing made the formerly shy and depressed Ringo feel better about himself, how he felt the first time it made him into "someone else" as he descibes it -- maybe a fleshing out of that first meeting with Shining described in Sweet Serenade where Shining talks him into the crossdressing idol life. I have no idea how much information is available about his backstory in English, so if you're not familiar with the details feel free to just wing it. I would also love to see a present-day fic of some bumps in a Ryuuya/Ringo relationship, maybe focusing on Ringo's insecurities given that he identifies as male but spends a lot of his time dressing/behaving almost entirely as a woman. I love the crossdressing aspect of his character so anything focusing on that would be especially welcome. |

So long as it incorporates those two characters, I will be as happy as can be. Maybe its an alternate timeline. Or maybe its after Lucy passes over. Maybe a dream state. Maybe just a normal day of interaction. You make the call! Let your mind wander. | ||
| lost_constant | The Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Orczy | As much as I love some Marguerite/Chauvelin scandal...I think I would actually really enjoy some Marguerite/Percy for this challenge. I think I would like it to focus primarily on the time either just as she's discovering his identity...or shortly thereafter. Maybe some of the conflict and angst the couple faces. Maybe on their first private interactions right after he's been discovered? However, if that's not so much your muse or taste, please do go wild. Some Andrew/Percy? Sure! Marguerite/Chauvelin? Always appealing. Let your muse guide you where you wish to go. |

I think they are incredibly dynamic together. |

| lotesse | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Will Stanton, Bran Davies, aka Pendragon | This is a fix-it request - unsurprising given the fandom! I need Will not to be alone after Silver on the Tree, and I need Bran to remember him - but I also have this problem where I can't imagine Will disobeying enough to disenchant him. And what I really really want is a story where there's a something that Will can't handle - a something that requires a king rather than a wizard - and Bran has to put the pieces together in order to save himself/Will/the cosmos/whathaveyou. H/c with victimized!Will would be especially lovely; Drews or other characters are very welcome; slash would be phenomenal, but gen would also be loved and snuggled. | letter |

| LovelyPoet | Troop Beverly Hills (1989) | I recently rewatched this movie for the first time in ages, and was reminded how much I loved it as a kid. I was also struck by the fact that it really was fundamentally a female-friendship movie and mother daughter story. Since the movie so focused on Phyllis though, what I'd really love is something that's more centrally about on the girls of the troop. Anything that highlights how the girls relate to each other or their world (in or out of wilderness girls activities) would be great. That definitely includes future Wilderness girls adventures in general. In terms of the nominated characters, I feel like both Jasmine and Lily kind of got the short shrift compared to the others in the movie. So anything that fleshes them out some more would be nice. Especially Jasmine and her relationship with her dad... is he as proud of her as she is of him? Does she eventually follow in his footsteps (think Laila Ali). As for Lily... honestly anything that moves her beyond a complete cardboard cutout there just to lead into Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos jokes (oh god, the 80s) would be amazing. The other thing I'd be really interested in is the relationship between Hannah and Chica, especially with the differences in their parents' involvement in their life. How does that impact their friendship? Does Hannah worry that Chica's spending time at the house more for her parents than for her, Honestly, I am a huge fan of the idea of these two going from "friends to more" either in nervous first-love or future fic.... Reunion fic far down the line (or where are they now fic) and looking back on how Wilderness Girls got them there would also be awesome. So, you know, anything! |

| LovelyPoet | Project Runway (US) RPF | Kate Pankoke (Project Runway), Helen Castillo (Project Runway), Dom Streater (Project Runway) | Overall I LOVED the ladies of this season of Runway, the nominated three in particular. I would love to read anything about their friendships and surviving the show together, or about future encounters and successes and struggles after the show... If you wanted to write them on an Austin & Santino: On the Road style fashion shenanigans across the country, I would read a million words of it. If you wanted to toss Tim Gunn in and Charlie's Angels it up, only with fashion instead of detective work, I'd read a BILLION words of it. I do definitely ship them, either in any possible pairing or as OT3. But if you're not into that, it's cool. |

Or how they dealt with/felt during the events of the movie, knowing something was going terribly wrong with Olive but trusting her to tell them what she needed to. Or really, just anything about them, preferably together, but if you want to tell me about one of them before they met, that would be okay to... |

| LovelyPoet | Bates Motel (2013) | o the thing about Bates Motel for me is how utterly heartbreaking it is because we all know where it leads, and we see so many of the little moments where maybe (just maybe) things could have gone differently or better. If you feel up to going slightly AU, maybe take one of those "better path" moments and tell me about a Norman who isn't doomed? Or not just Norman. Any of them, really. Basically, anything that could give any of them a chance at a happy life. If that's completely beyond you (and I'd totally understand that), the only thing I really, really ask is that you please not give me any explicit incest. Creepy dysfunction is fine, obviously, but keeping it subtextual is more my speed. Any character pieces you want write about any of these characters would be great, maybe even an exploration of how messed up everything was even before the Bates' arrived in town. |

| LovelyPoet | Goon (2011) | Doug Glatt, Eva (Goon), Xavier LaFlamme | I adore how much Doug is just a fundamentally decent dude, and how he knows and accepts who he is and who other people are. So if you're going gen, anything about how he sees the world or what other people thing about how he sees the world is phenomenal. I also SUPER OT3 him with LaFlemme and Eva, especially if there's a lot of awkward figuring out that they are all into each other and maybe some (not so) accidental voyeurism/exhibitionism. If OT3 isn't your thing, I like any pairing permutation of the three of them, so long as there's no betrayal of trust happening. I didn't request Ross Rhea strictly for matching reasons, but if this is the fandom we matched on and you also offered him and really, really aren't feeling like focusing on Doug, LaFlemme, or Eva, I wouldn't object to more of his philosophy on his and Doug's place in the game, what's next for him, who he is outside of the game, and so on... |

| Loz | Go On (TV) | One of the things that I adored about Go On was the ensemble aspect, so anything that includes that will have me grinning from ear to ear. My favourite characters are Owen and Anne, with very close runners up in Fausta and Steven. I have a big place in my heart for Ryan and Ryan/Janie. I'm happy with gen, het, femslash, slash, but not hugely into threesomes or moresomes, but if you get an idea involving a threesome or a moresome, I won't stop you, because I don't hate them either. Ideally, I'd like something similar to an episode of the show. |
letter | |
| Loz | Jonathan Creek (TV) | Jonathan Creek, Maddy Magellan | I can't help it, I really want Jonathan and Maddy to be reunited. But if you feel like writing a story set before Maddy left, that's aces too. I'd be happy with a murder mystery or a relationship story, or Plot What Plot, or something that combines them all. I don't mind if it's romantic or platonic. Style-wise, I like out of chronology stories, or stories that are meta and have a present or unreliable narrator. An epistolary fic would be cool! |
letter |
| Loz | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills, Jennifer Mills | I'd prefer gen for Sleepy Hollow, please. I'd like a fic that goes into Ichabod adjusting to life in modern day America. How does he cope with technology? What does he love, what does he hate? I adore his friendship with Abbie, so anything that utilises their dynamic will make me happy. A story about Abbie and Jennifer growing to trust one another again would also fill me with glee. | letter |
| Loz | Parks and Recreation | I have so many different things I would be thrilled to bits with. Gen, het, femslash, slash: it's all golden. Close to canon, Alternative Reality or Alternative Universe would please me. I have especial love for many different relationships, including: Leslie/Ben, Leslie/Ann, April/Ann, Chris/Ben, April/Andy, Andy/Ben, Ann/Chris, Ron/Diane, Tom/Donna, Ron/Leslie. I don't hate Jerry, I just don't ship him with anyone either. I'm not hugely into threesomes or moresomes, but if you have an idea you want to run with, go for it, I'm not drastically opposed to them either. I would love a story surrounding a relationship, or 'a day in the life of' for any of the characters, or an episode-style problem to be overcome for a character of your choice, or even a 'History of Pawnee'. Sex is fine, but not necessary. Squicks I have are watersports, scat, incest, food-kink and underage, so please avoid those kinks. What I love about the show is how so little of the humour is mean. I love the character dynamics and the sense of optimism. If you include any of that, I will be ecstatic. |
letter | |
| Loz | Eternal Law | Zak Gist, Tom Greening, Richard Pembroke, Hannah English | I'm happy with gen, het, slash, femslash I would adore Zak/Tom. As far as I'm aware, I'm the only person who actually actively shipped them, but oh they made my heart sing. I do also love Zak/Richard, Zak/Hannah, Richard/Hannah, Hannah/Mrs Sheringham though. This is one of the rare fandoms when I wouldn't be opposed to a threesome, specifically Zak/Tom/Mrs Sheringham or Zak/Richard/Hannah. I'd love an ensemble piece, or a story from Tom's perspective about adjusting to life on earth, or something Zak-centric, or Richard-centric, or Hannah-centric. I'd go gleefully wide-eyed about something post-apocalyptic as long as it had a hopeful/optimistic ending. I'd be happy with a character fic, or Plot What Plot, or oodles of plot. |
letter |
| lsellers (Annariel) | The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner | Attolia (Queen's Thief), Eugenides (Queen's Thief), Phresine (Queen's Thief) | I love the Gen and Irene partnership but I am unhappy/uneasy with its beginning because Gen gets to decide on no evidence at all that Irene is the woman for him. So I'd love to see something that changes or addresses that. Or, as a variation, how does Irene go about establishing and maintaining boundaries once they are married because boundaries are not something Gen is good at. He basically stalked her for years but at the end of Queen of Attolia she abandons her own attempt to control him through fear. Aside from that, Gen is such a hugely fun character I'm happy to read stories about him getting into mischief. I'd also be interested in something that explicitly addresses the gods' agenda and the way they ruthlessly manipulate these people, only Irene seems really aware of this or to resent it, but something which brings this to the forefront would be interesting. Phresine is definitely an optional character to write about, I've put there there because I think she has an interesting perspective on Gen and Irene - though thinking about it Phresine backstory would be awesome too! |
letter |
| lsellers (Annariel) | Primeval: New World | Ken Leeds, Ange Finch, Dylan Weir, Toby Nance | Primeval: New World seems to be very much the poor unloved cousin to the British TV Series, at least when it comes to fanfic, so almost anything is good. My favourite character was Ken Leeds, I was really taken by the contradictions in his character - his diffidence, his ruthlessness, and the fact he obviously had a strongly ethical streak though his actual ethics were not much explored. So I would love some Ken Leeds fic, especially something that explored the back story that was hinted at but never resolved. I also thought this was a great show for teams of women, so some team fic with Dylan, Toby and Ange would be welcomed. I definitely don't require a story with all four of these characters in. |
letter |
| lsellers (Annariel) | Robin of Sherwood | Robin of Locksley (Robin of Sherwood), Marion of Leaford, Nasir (Robin of Sherwood), Will Scarlet (Robin of Sherwood) | One of the very first pieces of fanfiction I wrote was for Robin of Sherwood and it has a special place in my heart. In my teens I was pretty fixated on Nasir taken at least in part, by his competence. Clannad's music is, I think, one of the special things about the show, though not something it is easy to capture in fanfic, or at least not something I've come across any fanfic trying to capture and I'd love a story which managed that somehow. I also like the organic way in which magic is presented, as something wild and not something too codified. In particular I like the way the fantastical elements are woven into the more mundane back drop of life in Sherwood. I love the atmosphere, though that may owe a lot to Clannad - so anything which can capture the feel of the show is great. I'd also be interested in a story which focused on the outlaw relationships with each other (rather than Robin himself). I don't require a story with all of these characters in. |
letter |
| lsellers (Annariel) | Sapphire and Steel | Steel (Sapphire and Steel), Sapphire (Sapphire and Steel) | pphire and Steel is another show I love for its atmosphere, and its refusal to give clear explanations or rules or anything, really, for its eponymous title characters. It's a potentially difficult fill since, because I'm not keen on stories which attempt to detail the organisation Sapphire and Steel work for, nor their existence outside of missions, I want it to be other and incomprehensible. I think it's a fandom that works really well written from an outsider POV (so feel free to write OCs) since that can preserve the unknowability of the central characters, but I've read good fanfic that gets inside their heads as well. I do like the hint of romance between Sapphire and Steel but their fundamental otherness means I find it difficult to imagine them in a domestic setting. To be honest, I think Sapphire and Steel works best as a mechanism to tell ghost, and paranormal stories, made more compelling by the two central characters. | letter |
| lucathia | 空の帝国 | Kara no Teikoku | The Empty Empire | Rose (Kara no Teikoku) | I would love any fic about Rose. Life after the end of the series. A missing scene during the series. His feelings about being the emperor's clone. Exploration of any insecurities he might have had. Interaction with other characters, especially Idem and Iriya. Rose wondering what it's like being a child since he was never one. Maybe something happens that requires everyone to work together. Or anything else you can think of! | letter |
| lucathia | Chihayafuru | Mashima Taichi | Taichi completely stole the series for me. I would love any fic that deals with Taichi. His struggles with being second best in things that matter to him. Trying and trying and failing but trying again. Letting go of his dignity and giving it his all even if it makes him look uncool. Finding confidence and self-worth. Setting an example, leading the team. Small nods towards what comes easily to him and what doesn't would be great too. I'm not specifically looking for romance involving Taichi, but I wouldn't oppose Taichi x Chihaya or Taichi x Arata. (Taichi x Arata intrigues me a lot, in fact). If you'd like to go the Chihaya x Arata route, please make sure Taichi is still the focus~. I would love to see how any sort of relationship affects the dynamics of their friendship and or their karuta if you chose to write pairings. If you want to write Taichi x Sumire, I wouldn't oppose that either. Whatever you're interested in! I just want more Taichi~ |

| lucathia | Magic Kaitou | Kuroba Kaito | Kaitou Kid | Kaito, secrets, and secret identities. Having to work with an adversary. Going undercover. The enemy of your enemy is my friend. Getting caught in his civilian identity. Hands tied. Someone comes close to unraveling his secret. I love secrets and secret identities, so Kaito's story is very relevant to my interests. For a very specific prompt, I would love seeing Kaito working with a rival in his civilian identity and having to refrain from going all out to prevent his identity from getting discovered. The main point is, please give me more of Kaito! And hopefully more of his adventures with his double identities as well. | letter |
| lucathia | 山田くんと７人の魔女 | Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo (manga) | Yamada Ryuu, Miyamura Toranosuke | I always find it amusing when Yamada and Miyamura kiss, especially when they're experimenting. It also amused me greatly when Yamada started getting used to all the kissing, no matter who it was with. I'd love to see them experiment some more with the different abilities, or maybe even using experimenting as an excuse to stay close. I'd love some quirky antics between the two! Misunderstandings, rumors, friends freaking out (or not batting an eye at all)... Gen or slash would both be equally awesome, though if possible, I'd like this fic to be PG-13 or below! | letter |
| lucathia | The Legend of the Sun Knight | Adair (Legend of the Sun Knight) | Anything about Adair will make my Yuletide. A day in the life of. Adair training with the Sun Knight Platoon. A mission given by his captain. Adair carrying out one of his captain's orders. Adair acting like a butler for his captain. Adair interacting with Storm, Elijah, Tyler, Vidar, Ed, or anyone else. If you're current with the series, something dealing with volume 8 would be lovely. Whatever you can think of! | letter |
| lucathia | Havemercy Series - Jaida Jones & Danielle Bennett | Thom (Havemercy) | Thom is my absolute favorite in the series. I love his voice and his struggles to find his place. He's a scholar through and through and can be very logical, but he can also be susceptible to sentimentality. I really like his thoughts, so I would love more of that. I also like seeing other characters' thoughts about him, so that would work for me too. I find it pretty fascinating how he comes off quite differently depending on the narrator! Fic from his POV would be lovely, and fic that explores other characters' thoughts about him equally so. Rook and Thom fascinate me, as does Thom's friendship with Balfour. If you could get Thom in the same scene as any other characters, that would be amazing too. Basically, any fic that focuses on Thom would be much adored. Fic set in Thom's past, or beyond the fourth book, would all be great. Maybe Thom and Rook finally reach Eklesias? Or they return to Thremedon for some reason. Missing scenes from the books would be cool too. I wouldn't mind any AUs that feature Thom either, as long as the dynamics with the other characters (such as Rook) are kept. |

| Lukoni | Design for Living (1933) | George Curtis, Tom Chambers | Just saw this flick for the first time this year and my first thought was "Yuletide!!" My main focus was what arrangement the boys come to in the time between Gilda leaving and them going to get her back. There is a clear opening there for the boys to get some sexual experimentation in - because, really, who can have a threesome with no actual sex?? We know the film shied away from that, but what did the characters really get up to? And if you are more of gen fan, then I would be happy with just a wacky adventure with the three of them following the end of the movie. | letter |
| Lukoni | Jonny Quest | Race Bannon | Race Bannon in the original Jonny Quest series is an effing Bad.Ass. Just sayin'. So anything featuring him in some way would be sweet. I love the Race/Benton slash options, as well as the Dr. Zin-Dr. Quest-Race Bannon enemy slash triangle. Did I mention Race ends up getting tied up a lot? Hot. Anyway. If that's not your thing, there are many other Race-centric scenarios that would be equally enjoyable - straight up casefic, more domestic fatherly stuff with Hadji or Jonny, or just coffee with Dr. Quest (if you can get him to stop thinking about science for five freakin' minutes...). Anyway, I live in perpetual hope that one day this request will be fulfilled! Someday.... | letter |
| Lukoni | False Colours - Georgette Heyer | Kit Fancot, Evelyn Fancot | I've asked before, and I suppose I'll keep asking... I love these two, especially together. They are so adorable and full of fun. As a slash-lover, am keen on prequel twincest hijinks. but will be happy with anything really. The two of them together at Oxford, Eve visiting Kit (or Kit and Cressy) on the continent, how did Kit break his leg that one time? I'm open to pretty much anything, though would prefer lighthearted to dark and depressing. | letter |
| Lukoni | Quincy M.E. | Sam Fujiyama | I've always loved this show, and always thought poor, loyal, hardworking, and extremely gorgeous Sam always kind of got the short end of the stick. So, anything that features Sam would be awesome - casefic with Quince, solo adventure, or just a slice of home life - I'd take anything. Maybe meeting an old classmate for tea and comparing their current jobs. Or perhaps a date - one that he has managed to keep, for a change, without Quincy making him stay and work late. And, of course, I am a slashaholic, so if you want to give him a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend, fine by me (OC, someone from the show, crossover with another show - maybe the hot firefighter from Emergency! - all is fine by me). | letter |
| Lukoni | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), George Washington | Okay, so most folks seem to be requesting Ichabod/Abbie stuff, which is NOT my thing. Probably because he's still married (granted with some serious logistical difficulties). And, as I'm a serious slashaholic, I would adore an Ichabod/George Washington fic - I mean really, Washington wanted the badass relic chest AND Ichabod kept safe at all costs - so much slash fodder there. But, I know many people don't go that way (especially with their Founding Fathers), so if you want to do a gen story with them, that would be awesome, too - plotting against the forces of darkness, plotting against the British (while also trying to thwart the forces of darkness), Crane asking GW to be the best man at his wedding - many possibilities to explore. Also, I'm cool with friendshippy Ichabod+Abbie, or the hilarity of Ichabod in the modern world, so if you'd rather go that way, no problem. | letter |
| Lullabymoon | A Bunch of Amateurs (2008) | Dorothy Nettle, Jefferson Steel | I'd love to see a fic where Jefferson does come back the following year to put on another play. Whether it's a snippet, just Dorothy's reaction to him actually coming back or something similiar, or some of the shenanigans they get up to as they put on the play and revive their friendship, or anything in between. Perhaps they're a little miffed and stung that the other never called, despite not wanting to feel that way, or they have to put up with Verity's well meaning attempts to throw them together. I love both Dorothy and Jefferson, and I do ship them, but I also friendship them so either gen or het is great. |
letter |
| Lullabymoon | Tweed & Co. - Colin Forbes | Paula Grey | Basically, I would love Paula being awesome. However you decide to do that, with what ever rating you decide is perfectly fine by me, the only exception being that if there is going to be any ship, I would prefer it be Paula/Tweed. Could be as simple as a day in the life, or how she felt when she joined the SIS, or reflections after any of their many escapades, or escaping from one of her many kidnapping attempts, or her thoughts on the assumptions people have about her relationship with Tweed. | |
| Lullabymoon | Hadrumal Crisis - Juliet E. McKenna | Jilseth (Hadrumal Crisis) | I absolutely love Jilseth and anything with her would make my day. Some ideas: How did she react to getting a pupilage under the Archmage? What was it like getting used to working with him? What was her reaction when her affinity first showed itself or the first time she worked necromancy? Or delve into her feelings when she drained herself and wasn't sure of her abilities returning. Or after the books, does she go to Suthyfer and have all sorts of adventures in magic with Allin and or Usara? Or perhaps a day in the life fic on Hadrumal, possibly with her nexus group, or on business for Planir. Could be her losing her temper again and regretting it later, or carrying on her association with Lady Zuranne. I don't really have a ship in mind for Jilseth and I would prefer gen for this prompt. |
|
| Lullabymoon | Jesse Stone (Movies) | Rose Gammon, Jesse Stone | Rose and Jesse's friendship is my favourite aspect and I'd love a fic that dealt with that somehow. Whether it's their friendship first starting after Jesse moves to Paradise, or when Rose first starts working in the department, to any sort of moment between then during the series. Could be dealing with her divorce, his drinking, the general town council shenanigans, or even just on the shooting range together or sitting eating donuts. Or something set after Benefit of the doubt — how does their friendship recover properly, how long does it take for them to properly forgive each other and get back in the swing of their friendship. Has anything changed after that? Feel free to include Suitcase if you want, and I quietly ship them so if you want throw hints of that in, that's more than fine. |

| lunarknightz | While You Were Sleeping (1995) | Lucy Moderatz, Jack Callaghan | As this is one of my favorite movies of all time, I'd love to see anything in this verse- Jack/Lucy fluff is always welcome- before or after the movie. Gen/Het please! | letter |
| lunarknightz | Mighty Ducks (Movies) | Charlie Conway | I'd love to see a future fic with a present day Ducks reunion, or any good Duck bonding set during any of the movies. Charlie's my favorite character, but I adore the whole flock. Quack Quack Quack! Gen or het please! | letter |

| Lunch | Mad Men | Bob Benson, Pete Campbell | The scene where Bob hits on Pete was cringe worthy and I absolutely loved it so anything set after that is good, though it doesn't necessarily have to be shippy. I love forced proximity scenarios that are filled with awkwardness and Bob's :DDD face so anything including that would be A+++ | letter |
| Lunch | The Bridge (TV 2013) | Sonya Cross (The Bridge US) Marco Ruiz (The Bridge US) | My favorite thing about their dynamic is how Marco just rolls with Sonya being Sonya and how much they genuinely care about each other. Despite The Bridge being such a serious and gruesome show at times, I'd love something on the lighter side. Maybe more Sonya+Marco roommates shenanigans or going undercover for a case. I'm all caught up with the show so feel free to place the fic during or post season 1. | letter |
| Lunch | Under The Dome (TV) | Dale "Barbie" Barbara, Julia Shumway | I LOVE THEM AND I WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY. THE END. Okay, not the end. I'd love something post season 1, with the dome doing its weird things or future fic where they're no longer under the dome and are adjusting themselves and their relationship to that. As long as there's a hopeful/happy ending feel free to put them through all the pain in the world (the show does!) | letter |
| Lunch | Now You See Me (2013) | Henley Reeves, J. Daniel Atlas | Magicians! Heists! Forced proximity (your leg is in my... area)! There's nothing about it I don't love. I'd be happy with pre-movie fic about Henley's time as Daniel's assistant, or post-movie fic about ~The Eye~ making them do weird magic stuff, including but not limited to wildly improbable undercover situations (!!!), or maybe just the four horsemen bonding during their down time and Danny learning to be less of a douchebag. Really, feel free to go wild. | letter |

| Luzula | Papillon (1973) | Henri "Papillon" Charrière, Louis Dega | This fandom currently has no offers, so let me just tell you about it in case we matched on something else and you're not sure you want to write that. This is an awesome movie with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman being prisoners in a colonial prison in the 1930's. They originally start working together because Hoffman's character needs protection and McQueen's character needs money, but then they fall in love start caring about each other. Seriously, this movie is the slashiest thing I have ever seen! There is hurt/comfort while they rest bare-chested in each other's arms, there is loyalty against all odds, there are long tender hugs. Okay, so obviously I really want slash here. It could be post-movie with them being crotchety old men together, it could be a missing scene, or you could show me what's going on inside either of their heads during the movie. Don't feel you have to write me sex (although I wouldn't say no to it!)--I am just as happy with something that is as gen as the movie is, as long as it's about their connection somehow. |
letter |
| Luzula | The Deed of Paksenarrion - Elizabeth Moon | Paksenarrion | Basically, I just love Paksenarrion and want more stories about her. The Paksenarrion books are comfort reading for me, and I love following Paks' character development through the book. I also love that the books are so entirely gen, and that Paks is basically asexual without much fuss being made of it, because that's not what the story is about. So please, no romance or sex involving Paksenarrion! You could write about one of her quests just after the ending of the book, or a glimpse of her when she's older and more experienced. I think my dream story in this fandom would be a fic in which Paksenarrion was older and had a female paladin-candidate, because I love stories about older woman-younger woman mentor relationships. But if that doesn't appeal to your muse, just go with whatever does! For example, much as I love Paks POV, an outside POV of her would be cool, too--like, someone she inspires during a quest, for example. I'm also fascinated by the Kuakganni, and something involving them would be interesting. I've read the first two books of the recent trilogy, so feel free to draw on that material if you want to, but I like the original trilogy much better. |
letter |
| Luzula | The Charioteer - Mary Renault | Andrew Raynes, Laurie Odell | o I really shipped these two in the book, and was surprised to discover that despite the fair amount of fics that existed in the fandom, NONE of them had Andrew/Laurie as the main pairing. Obviously this must be rectified! I was kind of annoyed by Laurie's "I must protect Andrew from the gayness!" attitude, and would love to see Andrew getting to make some choices of his own. What would've happened if that moment in the kitchen hadn't been interrupted? What kind of relationship would Laurie and Andrew develop? Could Andrew reconcile homosexuality with his Quaker faith? If you don't want to write Laurie/Andrew, I would also be happy with gen, as long as you focus on Laurie and Andrew interacting! I do also like Laurie/Ralph, but since it's so overwhelmingly popular in the fandom and I want to focus on Laurie and Andrew, I'd prefer not to get a fic with background Laurie/Ralph. | letter |
| Luzula | Hadestown (Musical) | Persephone (Hadestown), Eurydice (Hadestown) | I'd love these two interacting, with either gen or femslash. What happens with Eurydice in Hadestown? She seems like a bit of an innocent in the beginning of the story, so how does she develop when she's down there? What is Persephone's role in the underground like? Persephone appears to be giving some relief to the people living in Hadestown, but how much is she "on Hades' side"? I love the bit where she says "there's a crack in the wall", and I'm intrigued by the hints of social unrest in canon. It would be awesome if you wrote me the story of the revolution in Hadestown! *g* In my head, I somehow associate Hadestown with Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, I guess because both are set during depression times. So if you want to write me Eurydice being a union organizer in Hadestown, I would love that! I also love the worldbuilding, so anything you do with that would be awesome. Given the canon, I'm not expecting (or wanting) happy fluff, although I would love something that's at least hopeful. |

| lynndyre | Zorro (TV 1957) | Bernardo (Zorro - 1957), Diego de la Vega (Zorro - 1957), Alejandro de la Vega (Zorro - 1957) | This canon is full of amazing identity porn, concealment of injuries, adventure - and California. I'd love to see hurt/comfort (whether that be Diego protecting Bernardo or his father, Bernardo looking after his master, Diego or Zorro trying to hide matching injuries, etc), or anything about Alejandro's discovery of Zorro's identity. Or feel free to explore Diego and Bernardo's friendship! Flashbacks to Spain are fine, but I'd love something set in California. | letter |
| lynndyre | Ja-Dou (Manga) | Teiou (Ja-Dou), Keika (Ja-Dou) | Would love to see: hurt/comfort, loyalty-kink, having each other's backs, magic, xeno (We know Keika's blood is white, what else is different?). Their trust in each other is something I love - maybe the moments that make Keika choose to believe? Maybe a time when Teiou realised that Keika had totally committed back? Could even just be a story about Teiou's troops and their loyalty to their General and his second both. Could be Teiou and Keika off on an adventure of their own, looking for special plants, or demons to fight. Only part of this has been translated, so if you reference specific events past volume 2 or the prequel, give me enough detail to go on? |
letter |
| lynndyre | Green Lantern (2011) | Thaal Sinestro (Green Lantern (2011)), Hal Jordan (Green Lantern (2011)) | omething I loved in this movie was that Sinestro wasn't darkside yet. I liked that after their prickly (curbstomp training match) start, Sinestro was starting to like Hal, and see why Abin Sur chose him. I'd like to see anything where Sinestro is being a good mentor for Hal, hurt/comfort, friendship, adventures, Green Lantern missions, Sinestro dragging Hal off to train on hazardous alien worlds.... Xenobiology details are always fun to play with, if you're so inclined. | letter |
| lynndyre | The Lone Ranger (2013) | Tonto (Lone Ranger 2013), John Reid (Lone Ranger) | Adventure, hurt/comfort, magic, friendship - I'd love to see these two getting up to adventures together. Maybe rescuing each other from natural phenomena, tracking bad guys. Tonto and Silver being awesome. Maybe the story of how they got Scout (Tonto's horse)? I'd also love to see more hints of the crow, and the things Tonto can do, especially if they're left at the level of implied/unexplained that was shown in the movie. I love details of the landscape and animals of the wild west. Please no issuefic. | letter |
| lynnmonster | 21 Jump Street (2012) | Morton Schmidt, Greg Jenko | I would love to see these two doofuses in the tropiest, most cliched, ridiculous situation(s), since they're pretty ridic themselves. I would *especially* love to see them be stupid, pigtail-pulling, totally devoted dumbasses who make each other feel weird in the pants. Scenes of wrestling-turned-humping (or similar) optional but greatly appreciated. |
letter |
| lynnmonster | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf RPF), Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf RPF) | I adore this cast. But I'm not sure anyone adores Dylan O'Brien as much as Tyler Hoechlin does -- no, not even tumblr! -- so I'd be really happy if someone wrote me a story about that. | letter |
| lynnmonster | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary) | Joan Watson is awesome, and I would like to read more about her -- solo or with other characters; past, present, future, or time-travel; slice-of-life or casefic; basically, just MOAR JOAN. | letter |
| lynnmonster | The Losers (2010) | Jake Jensen, Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez | I would love anything from serious, realistic fic to goofy comedy to werecreatures. | letter |
| lynnmonster | Real Genius (1985) | Chris Knight, Mitch Taylor, Jordan Cochran | From friendship fic to a pairing to a triad, I'd be happy to see any combination of the three (together or apart), especially in a future fic. Crossovers welcome. Any mood: nostalgic, ridiculous, sexy, silly, heartbroken, happy, etc. |

| lyricalnights | Sliding Doors (1998) | Helen Quilley, James (Sliding Doors), Anna (Sliding Doors) | I'm not usually one for watching so-called romantic comedies, but this is one that I absolutely love. The style is really well done and it's cool to follow the doubled storylines, and I really like the ambiguity of the ending in terms of playing with the idea of fate. I'd love a future story about end-of-movie Helen and James; do they get together, are they happy, what are their lives like? I also enjoy the Anna character a lot and would be interested in getting a fuller version of her take on the events of the movie, from either or both storylines.

| lyricalnights | The Almighty Johnsons | Anders Johnson, Michele (Almighty Johnsons), Ty Johnson (The Almighty Johnsons), Dawn (The Almighty Johnsons) | I was introduced to this terrific show via Dean O'Gorman and The Hobbit, but I stuck around for the unique premise, the hilarious and frequently touching plot, and the great actors involved. I'm going to try to be vague since I know it hasn't aired here in the US and the worldwide distribution is staggered, but I am up-to-date through the end of series three. Most of my ideas for prompts center around the fallout from the S3 finale. I would be especially interested in seeing where Anders and Michele go from here, either separately or together. (I 'ship them a surprising amount, but I'm not adamant about it.) I think Olaf's story from here on out could be really interesting as well. And I'd never turn down an appearance by Ty and Dawn, whether it's about their relationship or how they interact with the others characters (like Dawn and Anders in the office now, or what Dawn and Michele would make of each other.) So, lots of options. My one characterization note would be that I'm not keen on seeing Anders as either a sociopath jerk or an innocent woobie; I like character complexity.

| lyricalnights | Persuasion - Jane Austen | Admiral Croft, Sophia Croft | My favorite Austen novel for a very long time now. I swoon for the mix of practicality and romance. As such, I'd love to see a story featuring Admiral and Mrs. Croft. As much as I love Frederick and Anne, every time I read the novel, I feel like the Admiral and his Mrs. gain ground as my favorite couple. This could be pre-novel, like something about how they got together or their early naval life; during novel, like their opinion of the goings-on between the different sets of presumed lovers; or post novel, like the first time they greet Anne as a sister. I just want to spend a little time with them, if that makes sense. In case tumblr isn't an option, here's my livejournal link: http://lyricalnights.livejournal.com/196907.html |
letter |
| lyricalnights | Three Men and a Baby (1987) | Peter Mitchell, Jack Holden | This movie reminds me of my childhood, so of course now I want to dirty it up completely. My ideal story would be some kind of Peter/Jack romance, possibly prior to the events of the movie. However, I'd also be really happy with a "how they met" story, or something from during or after the movie showcasing the relationship between these guys, romantic or platonic. You can use Three Men and a Little Lady as canon or ignore it. My one caveat: please don't make Sylvia a bitch or write her out of her TMB storyline. Also, thumbs up on the use of Michael in a non-romance story or in a non-romance capacity in a romance story, just not in the actual romance, if that makes sense. In case tumblr isn't an option, here's my livejournal link: http://lyricalnights.livejournal.com/196907.html |
letter |
| lyricalnights | Troop Beverly Hills (1989) | Hannah Nefler (Troop Beverly Hills), Chica Barnfell (Troop Beverly Hills) | Another childhood favorite, mostly because of the character-based humor. Maybe the girls meet up for a troop reunion, or a wedding? Did they stay friends or have they lost touch with each other? Basically anything using these characters will thrill me, and you can include any of the other movie characters that you want. Go wild! Bonus suggestions: Hannah and Chica go to college together, OR Hannah/Chica, any point in time.

| lyricalnights | Vicar of Dibley | Geraldine Granger, Harry Kennedy | I am an extremely late convert to this show, and I totally blame Richard Armitage. But once I was in, Geraldine kept me hooked, the saucy minx. I'd love to see a future fic from Geraldine and Harry's marriage; they're such an unexpected and yet absolutely perfect couple. Does G stay with her beloved befuddled flock, or does she end up elsewhere? What would David Horton do for fun if she left? Will Harry ever give up his ugly jumper collection (spoiler: I hope not!) Will Alice and Hugo ever stop having kids? Just pick a direction and go. I'm sure to love it.

| Lyrstzha | The Breed (2001) | Aaron Gray, Stephen Grant | I'd like to explore the world and Steve and Aaron's partnership past the events of the movie. A bit of plot would be lovely, banter is delicious, and complicated emotional dynamics are always fun. Slash would be great, but gen is okay. | letter |
| Lyrstzha | Fighting Tommy Riley (2004) | Tommy Riley, Marty Goldberg | And alternative ending that breaks my heart less would be awesome. The movie was gloriously painful, and that's great---but I'd still like a AU that didn't end quite so tragically. Slash would be great, but gen is okay. | letter |
| Lyrstzha | Defiance (TV) | Stahma Tarr, Kenya Rosewater | I'd especially like something post season 1, so it would be nice if Kenya survived last season's finale. It would be awesome to see Kenya and Stahma having to overcome their issues and mistrust to work together on something vital. Bonus points for Stahma coming to actually want to make things right with Kenya, and really trying to convince Kenya of this. Actual femslash cool, but optional. | letter |
| Lyrstzha | Those Who Hunt the Night - Barbara Hambly | James Asher, Simon Ysidro | I loved the dynamic these two had together, and I'd like to see more of it. Slash is lovely, but I'm totally good with gen, too. I like all the other characters, and don't mind seeing them as well, so long as I've got these two. | letter |

| Lysimache | Inspector George Gently | George Gently, John Bacchus | Yes, I ship it. But in the most awkward, 'what did Gently ever do to deserve that' way imaginable! (Poor awkward puppy of a sergeant, seriously.) If you don't ship it, gen is okay too. PWP is fine, or mystery solving, or relationship-y discussion/vignette, or anything. I want them to be happy, so I'd prefer less ex-/dead-wife angst and more awkward adorableness. |
letter |
| Lysimache | Roman Mythology - Fandom | Tanaquil | You know who's awesome? That's right, Tanaquil. You know what would be great? A story about Tanaquil being awesome! Because *everything* Tanaquil does is just awesome. <3 (I'm thinking of Tanaquil as presented in Livy 1.) |
letter |
| Lysimache | Gran Hotel | Agente Horacio Ayala, Agente Hernando | I picked Ayala and Hernando because they were two of my favorite characters from this (awesome, awesome!) show, but I'd be good with any of the nominated characters, if you'd rather write about those (Javier the Immortal? I mean, seriously, how many times should he have died?... And Ángela the dueña of the hotel, YES!). Gen, slash, whatever: I do ship Ayala/Hernando and relationship-y fic would be great, but gen would be awesome too: Wacky case fic? How did Ayala get all his medals from the epilogue? If you like non-nommed characters better, that's fine too! I also really like Maite, and I absolutely ship unrequited Maite/Alicia. And I looooved Agatha Christie! Best guest star ever. <3 I really would like *anything* about this show, so do what would make you most happy here. I loved the show itself and the tie-in novel (El Secreto de Ángela), but feel free to just follow the tv canon if you haven't read the novel (the show mostly ignored it, too!). I prefer not-sad fic (so probably not future!fic during WWI or anything like that). I really don't like explicit het or violence but the level of things shown in the show is okay. Fic in English or Spanish is fine. |
letter |
| maat_seshat | Gangjeok-deul | Powerful Opponents | Cha Young Jin | I watched this series as an exploration of family: born family, chosen family, various permutations of family, with the core "family” being the three main characters and Ggot Nim, so I'll love anything exploring ways in which the four of them are family. I also watched it for Cha Young Jin finding herself, discovering what she can do, what she's willing to do, and what she will *learn* to do, so anything with Young Jin+Career is guaranteed glee. Ditto Gwang Pil and being a single father, if the Young Jin bunnies aren't biting. And I'm a total threesome shipper for Young Jin, Gwang Pil, and Soo Ho, so if you want to go that route, please do. | letter |
| maat_seshat | Bloody Monday | Asada Aoi | I love Aoi fiercely for being a young woman trying to both live up to what's expected of her and be loyal to her friends. I love that she teams up with Otoya to bully Fujimaru into accepting help, and I love that she tells him several times during the insanity that was Season 1 that they're not going away, no matter how hard it gets. I'd be delighted to see anything about her, pre-series, mid-series, between series, AU, post-series, whatever. Give her a chance to pass Bechdel with someone or show the intricacies of her relationships with Fujimaru, Otoya, and all their baggage and I will clap my hands with glee. Femslash, gen, het, poly, all good! | letter |
| maat_seshat | Faerie Queen - Heather Alexander (song) | Narrator (Faerie Queen), Faerie Queen (Faerie Queen (Song)) | Every time I listen to this song, I wind up totally invested in the interplay between Narrator and Faerie Queen, so I will be delighted with anything that involves them interacting. Pre-song (maybe the Narrator doesn't know who this imposing woman is?), post-song (perhaps the Narrator gets involved in the faerie world, or perhaps the Faerie Queen comes to visit her afterward), or an expansion of the song are all awesome. Or something I haven't thought of at all! I would love Narrator/Queen femslash, but gen between the two of them is excellent, too. | letter |
| maat_seshat | Stealing the Elf-King's Roses - Diane Duane | Lee Enfield | Anything involving Lee, basically. Pre-book, missing-scene, and post-book are all great--I just want to see her running around doing pretty much anything similar to what she does in the book (and she does a lot, so that covers quite a range). Any worldbuilding you want to do, especially with Lee in the courtroom or traveling throughout the worlds, is awesome. Lee and Laurin "god-parenting" the new universe together would also be fun, or Lee spending time with Gelert's family. Gen or het equally welcome here. | letter |
| maat_seshat | Starfire Series - Various Authors | Uaaria'salath-ahn, Raymond Prescott | I'd be delighted with a story about either of them; please don't feel that you need to include both. If you go with Prescott, how he started studying Orion culture would be marvelous, or quiet moments between him and Zhaarnak, or his position in Orion society after the war (how often does the Sky Marshall get to travel to another empire?). Or really anything else about his liminal position as a person as much Orion as human. As for Uaaria, what does it mean to be a maverick in Orion military intelligence? To be a woman? How did she react to being assigned to pre-Kliean Zhaarnak's staff? How did she become friends with Chung? What does she do after the war? Or anything else about *her* liminal position as an Orion who doesn't quite fit expectations. Gen here, please, or see details in the letter. | letter |

| Macdragon | 20th Century CE RPF | Yves Saint Laurent (20th Century CE RPF) | Oh wow, he has such an interesting life. Working for Dior as a teenager and then taking over the fashion house himself at 21. His romance with Pierre Berge, who went on to found YSL with him. With the background of the 60s and political unrest in the background, including the independence of his own country. I'm fascinated by the meteoric success coupled with his instability—he was "born with a nervous breakdown” as Pierre said. So there's plenty of material, and I'd love a story about his younger days starting out. | letter |
| Macdragon | Misfits | Nathan Young | Of course Nathan didn't sit in the jail cell in Vegas forever. Does he use magic to get out or escape some other way? What does he do after that? Does he ever reunite with his friends from community service, or how does he react to find that some of them have disappeared of died? Maybe he goes to Africa to see Kelly? Does he remain true to Marnie and the baby or go back to his irresponsible ways? Perhaps he'll run across a new enemy to defeat. | letter |
| Macdragon | Cantarella | Cesare Borgia (Cantarella), Chiaro | I just want to see Cesare in all his destructive glory and Chiaro trying to save him, and romance and sexuality (implied or detailed; don't kill yourself trying to write to a rating you aren't comfortable with!) I really enjoy the supernatural part of this series and it would be cool if that was included. Optional details are optional, but I've always wanted to see something like a 1940s gangster/film noir AU for this series. (The Borgias being the original crime family, and all that.) |
letter |
| Macdragon | Jack Taylor - Ken Bruen | Jack Taylor, Ridge (Jack Taylor) | I'll love you forever for any and all fanfiction for these characters. Pretty sure absolutely none exists right now, for either the book or the tv show. I've requested the book here but if you want to draw inspiration from the tv show too that's fine. Jack being Jack and struggling with his inner demons. Maybe something from his past, like before he left the Guards. Jack and Ridge being friends and Ridge trying to get Jack to go out and enjoy a sunny day or do other "normal people” things, and probably failing miserably. Jack and books and music... I love the way the books incorporate so much reading and music and would love to see that reflected in the fic. |
letter |
| machiavellijr | The Flashman Papers - George MacDonald Fraser | Really almost anything will make me massively overjoyed. Pick a C19th person (real or fictional) and give me their first meeting with Flashy. Or Flashy and Elspeth being domestic. Or anything with their son Havvy who became a bishop, especially if he really is illegitimate. I don't think Bismarck and Elspeth ever meet in canon, but that would be epic. What some of the Indians Flashman met actually thought of him might be interesting. As might something from the POV of one of his lovers (and do feel free to add to the list). Crossovers with Victorian-ish things, whether in spirit or strict period, are fine, but I'd rather have incoming characters in Fraser's more or less historical C19th than Flashman visiting alternate universes. Or, y'know, anything else that seems like fun. |
letter | |
| machiavellijr | Laundry - Charles Stross | Bob Howard, PFY (Laundry Series), Dominique "Mo" O'Brien | Not honestly that fussed about characters - if you don't want to use those three, that's fine. I'd quite like to know something about the PFY's background beyond what we get in canon, and Bob's conversation with Mo about children would be amazing. I will by December have read Equoid, but I haven't as of time of writing, so check out the letter (linked)for more thoughts. | letter |
| machiavellijr | The Mechanisms (Band) | Gen. Except Nastya/Aurora and MAYBE Jonny/Gunpowder Tim, I really don't want Mechs ship-fic. Other than that, basically anything goes. | letter | |
| machiavellijr | Kingkiller Chronicles - Patrick Rothfuss | Kvothe, The Chandrian (Kingkiller Chronicles) | I really love the myths in-universe, especially those that have grown up around Kvothe. Some popular legends about his exploits, whether we've seen them in canon or not, would be nice. | letter |
| madamebadger | Elfquest | I'm requesting Elfquest with any character because, frankly, I'd be thrilled with anything in this setting. Backstory, missing scenes, alternate history, character study, vignette--you name it. If you want some more specific pointers, I really like stories dealing with the themes of culture clash, survival on a harsh planet, storytelling, the bond between person and beast (whether that's the Wolfriders or someone else), and the joys and problems of telepathy and soulbonding. I love hunting, magic, wild places, and building a future. The only setting I'm really not too keen on is the Jink/The Rebels/Futurequest timeframe, but since none of those characters were nominated anyway, I doubt that will be a problem. :) I am perfectly fine with slash, femslash, het, and gen, and I'm also fine with any rating. I prefer no parent/child or sibling incest, no on-screen bestiality (although of course stories involving the fact that Wolfriders are the product of an elf and a wolf in general are fine--I just don't want an elf/animal sex scene), and no rape or noncon. I'm also not a big fan of gore. Otherwise, have fun! |
letter | |
| madamebadger | Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey | Menolly, Mirrim (Dragonriders of Pern) | Menolly and Mirrim were always my favorite characters in Pern, and I'd be thrilled with just about any story involving them. If you ship them, Mirrim/Menolly would be lovely! If you don't, I'd also be delighted with friendship-fic. My favorite things about them are the way they compliment and contrast each other--Menolly's strengths are not Mirrim's and vice versa. I also really like stories about people learning things, and both Menolly and Mirrim fit that beautifully. Perhaps a story about Menolly perfecting her craft, or Mirrim learning to be a rider of a fighting dragon (a very different skill set than her Headwoman-like role before that prepared her for!). But really, anything involving these characters will make me happy. (I didn't explicitly include Path because I wanted to give you the opportunity to write a story where a dragon onscreen might not be appropriate, but if you want to incorporate her, please do!) For this pairing I would prefer het or gen, and I'm also fine with any rating. I prefer no parent/child or sibling incest, no on-screen bestiality, and no rape or noncon. I'm also not a big fan of gore. Otherwise, have fun! |
letter |
| madamebadger | Changeling: the Dreaming | Changeling is a game I've played and loved for many years, and I'd be really happy with almost any fic about it! I left the character set open so to give you options; I'd be happy with any of the listed "characters" (kiths), or with stories about the world in general. I've always been fascinated by the balance of living in two worlds--I've always liked the idea that, while Banality is obviously the more pressing danger for a Changeling, giving in to the faerie side too much is deadly dangerous as well. Other themes that I love for Changeling are the interaction between creation and destruction, the malleability of reality, and the fine line between madness and magic. It might also be fun to try to make sense of the sometimes-contradictory underpinnings of the setting (I think by the end there were three or four not-entirely-compatible definitions of 'Banality' and 'Glamour'...), if you like. I'd prefer to keep it to the kiths from the core rulebook, at least as far as major characters go, simply because there's been more time to flesh those out (although other kiths would be fine as background characters). Any setting or timeframe is fine--I'd be equally happy with urban fantasy-ish "changelings in modern New York" or with changelings in Tokyo or at the fall of Rome. Or even a legend about lost Arcadia! I am perfectly fine with slash, femslash, het, and gen, and I'm also fine with any rating. I prefer no parent/child or sibling incest, no on-screen bestiality, and no rape or noncon. I'm also not a big fan of gore. Otherwise, have fun! |
letter | |
| madamebadger | Final Fantasy VI | Celes Chere (Final Fantasy VI) | Celes is hands-down my favorite Final Fantasy 6 character, and I'd be just thrilled with any story focusing on her. I love her strength and her reserve, and her magic which--at least initially--is treated as something legitimately eerie. I also love the way she goes from holding herself aloof to really caring about her companions. I'd be happy with a story from any point in her life: backstory as a child, her rise to being a really ludicrously young general and Rune Knight, something set during the game, or something set after. I love woman warriors, themes of rebuilding, and magic. I'm a fan of Celes/Locke and Celes/Terra (and would not object at all to Celes/Locke/Terra!). That said, the only pairings I can think of offhand that I really don't want are Celes/Kefka, Celes/Cid, or Celes/Gestahl, so if you have another idea for a pairing, please go with it! I am perfectly fine with femslash, het, and gen, and I'm also fine with any rating. I prefer no parent/child or sibling incest, no on-screen bestiality, and no rape or noncon. I'm also not a big fan of gore. Otherwise, have fun! |
letter |
| madamebadger | Baccano! | Nice Holystone, Jacuzzi Splot | I really like practically everything about Baccano!, but if you made me pick favorite characters, Jacuzzi and Nice would be at the top of the list. I love pretty much everything about them--but particularly Nice's ridiculous enthusiasm for things that go boom, and Jacuzzi's near-constant state of terror. (Not to mention the way Jacuzzi always pulls through to do what needs to be done... not because he gets over being afraid, but *despite* his fear.) The moment when Jacuzzi gets a tattoo to make Nice feel better about her scars is high on my list of best heartwarming moments ever. I do ship them, so if you want to write Jacuzzi/Nice, I'd be thrilled, but you certainly don't need to--I'd also be quite happy with friendship-fic about them. My favorite things about Baccano are the humor, the madcap feel, the heist-like structure, the convoluted jigsaw of a plot, and the way it manages to be oddly feel-good despite being almost entirely about gangsters and murderers. I also love love love Miria and Isaac, so if you want to work them in too, that would be a great bonus, although of course not necessary. (Actually, if you get a brilliant idea for Miria-and-Isaac fic, you hereby have my permission to ignore the listed characters and write about them instead!) I am perfectly fine with het and gen, and I'm also fine with any rating. I prefer no parent/child or sibling incest, no on-screen bestiality, and no rape or noncon. I'm also not a big fan of gore (although canon-like depictions of violence are fine as long as there isn't, say, loving descriptions of viscera). Otherwise, have fun! |

| madgirl | Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger | Biffy (Parasol Protectorate) | I would especially enjoy a post-canon Biffy tale. Any other characters involved are totally fine, but he's my favorite! (If you're a shipper, I'm fine with him with Akeldama OR Lyall.) | letter |
| madgirl | Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell | Simon Snow (Fangirl), Tyrannus Basilton "Baz" Pitch (Fangirl) | Basically, I just think that fic for a fandom within a fandom is the coolest thing ever, and there should be more -- so write me whatever you like. I'd also be fine with some meta, like part Cath story and part a story she's writing. | letter |
| madgirl | Cal Leandros - Rob Thurman | Robin Goodfellow (Cal Leandros) | Robin Goodfellow is one of the best characters ever. I am especially fond of the idea of tales of him hanging out with (or banging) random historical figures, but if you want to write a canon-current tale with him that would be fine too! | |
| Maekala | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), John Diggle (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV) | These three are my OT3. I love them all and I love the awesome little family they've made for themselves. If you're not up for OT3, then really I'd just love to see them together being awesome. More details in my letter. | letter |
| Maekala | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | o, when May and Ward were talking about Skye needing a Supervisory Agent, I totally thought May was going to take the position. I was really hoping she would. Or maybe show me the scene where Hill either convinces May to be Skye's SA...or show me the scene where Hill convinces her *not* to be Skye's SA. Again, I'll have more thoughts in my letter. Edit Sign-up Edit Pro |

| Maekala | Flashpoint | Julianna "Jules" Callaghan, Greg Parker, Mike "Spike" Scarlatti | I love these three so much. I especially love that they hang out in the van and do the nitty gritty compiling of data, but every one of them can bust out of there and kick some ass. I would really love something where it's the three of them being awesome that saves the day. | |
| Maekala | Bourne Legacy (2012) | Aaron Cross, Eric Byer | I was fascinated by what little bit of the relationship we saw between Aaron and Eric. Probably in a slightly unhealthy way, but that's okay. I ship them pretty hard and I can actually see that as being a good pairing or a deeply flawed one. I plan to go on at length about this in my letter if you like some more insight. | |
| MaeveBran | Las Vegas Casinos (anthropomorphic) | Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Paris Las Vegas, Venetian | I'd love to see a story about how Caesars Palace and Bellagio have the Venetian as their love child. Paris Las Vegas is Caesars Palace's ex-girlfriend who is jealous but eventually comes around to ship Caesars Palace/Bellagio too. Obviously I think of Caesars Palace as male and the Bellagio and Paris Las Vegas as female. I have no gender preferences on the Venetian. I'm not into slash or mpreg. If you want to bring in any other nearby casinos to the story that is fine too. |
letter |
| MaeveBran | Otto and Victoria - Brian Kesinger | Victoria (Otto and Victoria), Otto (Otto and Victoria) | I really like the "Walkies for Otto" and "Walkies for Victoria" pictures. What I want to know which came first and how they're linked. Was there a bet that one of them lost? Or was it a favor for each other? Something else? | letter |
| MaeveBran | The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond (2008) | Jimmy Dobyne, Fisher Willow | I have incomplete feelings about this movie. I want to see how they get from "You could get used to me" to married and happy. (I'm an optimist and think that they'd eventually get to a happy and loving marriage because they really do love each other.) | letter |
| MaeveBran | Push (2009) | Nick Gant, Cassie Holmes | I'd love to see further adventures with these two. I ship them like FedEx and don't mind if they have sex before she turns 18 but prefer her to be at least 16. Of course they have plenty of adventures to bring down Division without sex. (I'm not into bondage or bathroom kinks but don't really mind if it gets explicit.) Gen is fine but so are shippy fics. Not into graphic torture or Non-con. | letter |
| MaeveBran | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills, Captain Frank Irving, Katrina Crane | I enjoy the interactions between Ichabod, Abby, and Captain Irving when they are on a case. I like Abby and Ichabod when on a case and when they are off of one. I'd love to see some effort on Abby's part to get Ichabod to fit into the 21st century. I do also like the relationship of Ichabod and Katrina and their love story. | letter |
| magelette | Young Wizards - Diane Duane | Carl Romeo, Tom Swale | Carl and Tom and domesticity will never get old. I'd love to see them in their day-to-day lives, how they cope with their brood of adopted wizards (Nita et al), their take on events we see in the books as adults in a teen-dominated world. | letter |
| magelette | Emelan - Tamora Pierce | Briar Moss, Evumeimei Dingzai, Dedicate Rosethorn | Having just finished Battle Magic, I'd love to see the aftermath of coming home, PTSD and everything included. We see Briar in Will of the Empress, but how is Rosethorn coping? How has Evvy set up at Discipline? How's Luvo coping? Guest appearances by any of the Circle mages welcomed! | letter |
| magelette | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Bran Davies aka Pendragon, Will Stanton | Bran, Wales, growing up. Bonus for Will helping Bran fill the loneliness inside. Even more bonus if Bran remembers the aftermath of Silver on the Tree. :) | letter |
| magelette | The Outlaws of Sherwood - Robin McKinley | Cecil | Cecily of Norwell | Cecil's adventures before, during, or after Outlaws of Sherwood. I'd love to see more of her character, especially since her brother -- and her lover -- both overshadow her in the book. | letter |
| magelette | Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis | Kivrin Engle, Colin Templer, James Dunworthy | Further adventures of the great time-traveling trio! Middle Ages would rock! | letter |
| magistera | Coldfire Trilogy - C. S. Friedman | Damien Vryce, Gerald Tarrant (Coldfire) | lash would be lovely, but gen about these two would make me a very happy bunny as well :) | |
| magistera | Cats of Grand Central - Diane Duane | I'd love to see an Ordeal or just an errantry story featuring any of the characters. | ||
| magistera | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Will Stanton | I can never hear enough of what happens to Will after the end of the series. | |
| magistera | Calvin & Hobbes | |||
| magisterequitum | Greek | Rebecca Logan, Evan Chambers | Anything that deals with them either during the show or post-show. | letter |
| magisterequitum | Psy-Changeling - Nalini Singh | Sienna Lauren, Kaleb Krychek | This can be either both or separate. I've wanted a meeting between the two of them for a long time since they are tied together in some respects, but any fic dealing with the two separately as well would be great. | letter |
| magisterequitum | Women of the Otherworld - Kelley Armstrong | Jeremy Danvers, Jaime Vegas | These two are a favorite pairing for me out of this series, so I really would love something that explores their relationship. | letter |
| magisterequitum | Kate Daniels - Ilona Andrews | Kate Daniels, Derek Gaunt, Julie Olsen, Curran Lennart | This is another either/or request. I really just want something that deals with any combination of these four out of this series. | letter |
| magistrate | Bel Dame Apocrypha - Kameron Hurley | Nyxnissa so Dasheem | Anything that explores Nyx's mass-of-contradictions-and-sharp-edges self would be amazing. Particularly the ways in which she cares for people, but doesn't let that care interfere with her ruthless pragmatism. It's be neat to see a series of vignettes about the people she left her house to, or maybe just some extremely understated team aftercare after a job, for example. Gen, please! | letter |
| magistrate | Alphas | I'd love to see something post-canon, dealing with the aftermath of Grand Central Station: the team putting themselves back together without Rosen and confronting how they were basically a therapy group that got shanghaied into special ops, or maybe Parish in custody/interrogations/isolation/whathaveyou and confronting the fact that he killed the person who was going to be his great hope for leadership in the brave new world he failed to create, or maybe the team dealing with alphas whose ability was woken up or pushed into overdrive and regain consciousness surrounded by the dead. Alternately, It'd be fun to see daily life in the offices - the little negotiations that go into existing with each other, and the extent to which the team is aware of each others' weak spots and the extent to which they address or ignore those. Prefer messy and complicated (but still moving forward) with no easy answers over happy endings and things neatly squared away. Gen, please! | letter | |
| magistrate | Space: Above and Beyond | Shane Vansen, Tyrus McQueen, Cooper Hawkes | Love to see anything in-series with Shane and McQueen discussing leadership (and how odd their relationships to their positions are — Shane didn't start off wanting responsibility for anyone, and I'm betting that McQueen, as a tank, wasn't expecting to be in charge of much of anything). Or McQueen and Hawkes talking about being tanks, especially if it involves the lines between knowing that you're never going to quite be on equal footing with the people around you (because there's 18 years you don't get that they did), but still being able to find the rare, precious people you can trust, who do see you as a person and an asset to the team. Or, anything post-canon, with Hawkes (especially) adapting to everything that's changed, and whatever new team is set up around him after they spent so long getting to the point where the 58th worked together as well as it did. (Bonus points for dealing with the tension of him being known as kind of a badass for being with the 58th, but still kinda looked at askance because he's a tank.) Gen, please! | letter |
| magistrate | xkcd 1190 (Time) | Main female (xkcd), Main male (xkcd) | Anything dealing with reconstruction after the strip ends would be absolutely lovely. So, maybe the beret girl discovering she's a natural mariner, and constructing ships to explore the sea and map the coastline. Or, maybe main female character and main male character becoming the de facto leaders of the scouting and foraging parties, and coming back to a camp where everyone is involved in the various businesses of surviving — constructing shelters, managing supplies and morale, etc. Or maybe when they first re-establish contact with the people they took the maps from, whether that be weeks or months or years later, and how they learn to communicate and set up trade and such. Gen, please! | letter |
| magnetgirl | Bunheads | Sasha Torres, Ginny Thompson, Melanie Segal, Michelle Simms | sha's adventures in faux-adulthood, the fall-out of Ginny's experience with Frankie, Melanie's adventures in roller derby, Michelle helping Talia raise her baby with balletic babysitter assistance... These are just four ideas, I could probably come up with four thousand, I love this show/these characters. I'm convinced at least one of the girls is queer and there are so many romantic possibilities, but romance is not required, the friendships are all beautiful. | |
| magnetgirl | Iron Man: Armored Adventures | Tony Stark (Iron Man Armored Adventures), Pepper Potts (Iron Man Armored Adventures), Gene Khan (Armored Adventures), James "Rhodey" Rhodes (Armored Adventures) | Other characters I love: Whitney Stane, Rhona and Andy Irwin, Justin Hammer, Jean Grey, Black Widow, Howard Stark I ship Tony/Gene, Tony/Pepper, Tony/Whitney, Tony/Jean, Gene/Pepper, Rhodey/Pepper, Whitney/Pepper, Rhodey/Jean, Whitney/Rhona/Andy (robotic twincest threesome!)... they're teens, all combinations are possible and encouraged. Plus adorable Pepper crushes (Justin! Howard! Natasha!). |
|
| magnetgirl | Black Swan (2010) | Lily (Black Swan) | I'd love to read what Lily thinks at the end and what happens to her...haunted by Nina perhaps? But anything as long as it is in the spirit of the film! | |
| magnetgirl | Life (TV) | Charlie Crews, Rachel Seybolt, Dani Reese | I desperately want to know what happened to Rachel. But I would also be more than happy with Rachel and Charlie and Ted at home hijinks...with Dani being the only one with a clue how to actually deal with life. Mostly I just want more. More Dani, more Charlie, more everybody!, more Life. And more Rachel because she just went away and never came back and I adored her. | |
| magnificentbastards | The Hour | Angus McCain, Adam Le Ray | I want the backstory that canon didn't show us, more or less; if you want to write this whole ill-judged dangerous relationship from its conception until its implosion that'd be perfect, but I'd be up for anything between (or after) that too. basically, give me a desperate unhappy ill-advised relationship between two people who are no less ambiguously moral and potentially dislikeable for the fact that they live in a society where the nature of their relationship is damning and dangerous. | letter |
| magnificentbastards | Orphan Black (TV) | Sarah Manning, Felix Dawkins | ny form of backstory would rock, though I'm not at all averse to fic incorporating the events of canon too. I am head-over-heels for these two; I want them clinging to each other in a hostile and unfamiliar world, knowing each other far too well, having each others backs through it all; in terms of backstory I'd especially love anything about their teenage years, especially Sarah's "wasted youth" and the NYC punk scene, and Felix's discoveries by way of art/drugs/sex. | letter |
| magnificentbastards | Secret History - Donna Tartt | Camilla Macaulay, Charles Macaulay, Francis Abernathy, Henry Winter | this is a sadly vague prompt because effectively all I want is more of canon, or rather an expansion of canon that focuses on the interconnecting, different, and universally unhealthy relationships between these four. Camilla/Charles, Charles/Francis, Camilla/Henry, and gen friendship for any remaining pairs would all be brilliant, just so long as none of the ships exist in alienation to the other characters -- make it codependent and fraught and uncomfortable and full of ambiguously moral people making each other worse, is what I'm saying. | letter |
| magnificentbastards | The Young Blood Chronicles (Music Video Series) | Pete (Young Blood Chronicles), Patrick (Young Blood Chronicles), Young Blood Girls (Young Blood Chronicles) | hey, maybe by the time you fill this prompt enough new videos will have been released that we'll actually have a clue what's going on? either way, what I want from this is pretty simply just an exploration of Pete and Patrick's relationship -- the idea of two of them against the world (increasingly very literally), the extent to which they predicted the events of the videos, the depth of the emotional connection that has them stealing and killing and being tortured for each other, what the hell is going on with Patrick after his kidnapping and how Pete feels about that, etc etc. | letter |
| magpieinthesky | The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones | Christopher Chant | I am completely in love with Christopher and his sarcasm, his fabulousness, and the totally unassuming way that he's a badass but would really best love playing cricket (or bossing people around, let's face it!). Millie is an amazing character in her own right, and I'd love to see any fic addressing how she adjusts to living in 12a and life post-Goddess-- perhaps her first experience of going to church, or her first cricket game, or or or... helping/commiserating with Conrad as he adapts to life in 12a, or even as adults helping Janet to adjust, out would send me over the moon. Other ideas include Christopher adorably trying to court Millie (Conrad's Fate is my favorite of all the Chrestomanci books), the wedding going awry, and perhaps even a Hogwarts AU in which Christopher is King of the Slytherins (I just want this to be real so badly, but if that's not your cuppa, I know some day it will be written. It is too good to not happen. Bonus points for referencing anything in this tumblr post that some genius came up with): http://sirscratchewan.tumblr.com/post/8085222064/he-was-not-dead-yet-not-exactly-justaguywitharrows! | letter |
| magpieinthesky | Emma - Jane Austen | Emma Woodhouse, George Knightley | As far as a fic goes, I'd love to see something that encapsulates the growth Emma's gone through-- maybe glimpses into Emma's life from childhood through adolescence and young adulthood, some looks into her early courtship/marriage with Mr. Knightley and how he still is helping her do better-- and how she makes his and others' lives better too. Maybe even an AU with a delayed happy ending and hijinks/shenanigans/misunderstandings in between? I know this isn't really specific, but I guess it's because while I've read a ridiculous amount of P&P fanfiction, I haven't read many of Emma-- so if you have an idea you'd like to try, go for it! I am amenable to both regency and modern-era fics, if that helps. | letter |
| magpieinthesky | Emperor's New Groove (2000) | ENG is pretty much universally great, so any fic from any angle would be excellent from where I'm sitting! What's the story of those girls Kuzco rejected at the beginning of the movie? What if Kuzco ran into one of them afterward and then hijinks ensue and a happily ever after? What about a super AU using the original ENG plot Kingdom of the Sun? Tell me about Yzma-- why DO they even have that lever? Maybe some bonding with Kuzco and Chicha? Maybe she sets him up with a village girl? Basically anything light/fluffy/funny will do. :) | letter | |
| magpieinthesky | Monkey Island | I'd love to see a fic about any of the awesome ladies of the Monkey Island series. How did the Voodoo Lady become so mysterious and powerful? Does she have her fingers in any other pies? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HER BRINGING MORGAN BACK TO LIFE!??!?!? My soul needs these answers, and if you feel up to it, I'd be so happy. I'd also be happy with a fic about Elaine, or Elaine and Guybrush going on swashbuckling adventures together. And MURRAY! Boy do I love that skull. Anything that involves Murray would be perfect in my mind. | letter | |
| magpieinthesky | Sarah Jane Adventures | Clyde Langer, Rani Chandra | I'd be so happy to see some fic delving further into Clyde and Rani's relationship-- how they decide to get together, whether it's after a near-death experience, or if it creeps up on them during a study session... or anywhere in between. I'm not very interested in the reactions of the others in the cast (Sarah Jane, Luke, Sky, Mr. Smith, K-9), as I just think it would be nice to deal with their relationship without having to get involved with what everyone else might think. I would, however, be absolutely okay with a fic where Rani brings Clyde home for the first time in his capacity as boyfriend and her dad's reaction to this (whether he knows ahead of time or not... maybe they secretly date for a while and then when this is revealed her parents get super mad about all the times they let them go up to her room with no worries). Again though, I'd prefer to keep especially this couple PG-13, since they're minors. Even if you age them up to college, young adult, or beyond (which also would be fine with me!), please try to respect my wish on the rating. | letter |
| magpieinthesky | Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen | &S just get's me in the soul. UGH, ELINOR I FEEL ALL OF YOUR FEELINGS. So I have read even less S&S fanfiction than even Emma, so I don't have many ideas of what I'd like to see, only that I think there's a lot of potential with these characters! I do think it would be fascinating if you did any AU-- what if Mr. Dashwood had passed away years ago, and Mrs. Dashwood moved the girls to Barton Cottage as a young widow, and Col. Brandon fell in love with Mrs. Dashwood (since she's very similar to Marianne)? Or what if Elinor needed more time to feel sure that Edward was steady when he came back after Lucy ran off with his brother? What would Edward do to prove his love and how would he court her? Or how about missing moments-- show me more of Col. Brandon and Marianne's romance, how both of our couples get on in their courtship/early married life. Follow your heart, dear yuletide writer, and I know I'll love it! | letter | |
| maharetr | Cry For Judas (Music Video) - The Mountain Goats | Oh my god, so many complicated places you could take this. Or simple places. To be honest, I don't have a firm grasp on the narrative the vid is telling, and maybe there *isn't* one. There are so many threads here, and you could pick one and follow it (the pregnant girl with the presumably anti-abortion mother) or you could damn near braid a bunch of threads together (the pregnant girl and the 'satanist' girl who has a crush on her... etc, was roughly how I was interpreting that sequence, but again, is so wide open to interpretation). You're welcome to take any thread, and any relationship combo (gen/het/slash/femslash) and run with it. | letter | |
| maharetr | Cyteen Series - C. J. Cherryh | Grant ALX-972 (Cyteen), Justin Warrick (Cyteen) | (Justin Warrick,Grant ALX-972) I loved Cyteen and Regenesis, but I'm craving Justin/Grant fic to round out the experience for me. The fact that their relationship is canon delights my soul, and those little touches (the horrifying note under Justin's pillow; the delightful moments in the morning after Justin gets back from Playns etc) has left me craving so much more of it (see the intimacy-like above :D). They were under so much pressure for so long and I'd love to see how they helped each other through. I'm happy for there to be explicit sex, fade to black, or no sex at all. Take it where ever you're comfortable :) Alternately, I am always, always up for Catlin and Florian being competent and awesome. I'd rather they weren't explicitly a couple, but if you happen to have a bunny that includes them being together, then I'm game :) |

| maharetr | The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (1994) | Anthony "Tick" Belrose | ee letter for more details, but I'd love a post-movie fic, with Tick and Adam and Benjamin. | letter |
| maharetr | Alien: Resurrection (1997) | Annalee Call, Ellen Ripley (Alien: Resurrection (1997)) | The tension between Ripley and Call was electric, and I love Call desperately *wanting* to be human, as much as I love Ripley looking curiously at her human side, seeming to wonder what it was... Would be delighted by femslash, but would be equally pleased with gen friendship, or a solo character study of either/both of them. | letter |

| mairelon | Alderly Affairs series - James Anderson | Stella Simmons | Julie Osborne, Timothy Saunders | I love all the characters in the Alderly Affairs series. I want to know what happens to them after the books end, especially Stella/Julie and Timothy. Do they get married? | |
| mairelon | Dragonback series - Timothy Zahn | Jack Morgan, Draycos (Dragonback) | I love the characters and the setting of the Dragonback series. I would love a story that explores what happens after the end of Dragon and Liberator. What happens next? How does Jack deal with being an ambassador? How is Cornelius Braxton handling the clean up of the Neverlin/Malison Ring/Valaghua conspiracy? I'm sure Jack, Draycos, and Alison will still get into plenty of trouble and have a lot of adventures. | |
| mairelon | Fly By Night Series - Frances Hardinge | Mosca Mye, Eponymous Clent | I love Mosca and Eponymous. I would love a story about them conning people, getting into trouble, and getting kicked out of towns. I'm sure Eponymous and Mosca are quickly fill up his black book of towns that they can never visit again. | |
| mairelon | The Lost Conspiracy - Frances Hardinge | Hathin, Minchard Prox | The Lost Conspiracy is one of my top five favorite books. I would love a story that explores what happens after the book ends. How do Hathin and Prox help rebuild Gullstruck Island? | |

| Makioka | King Rat - James Clavell | Peter Marlowe, The King (King Rat - James Clavell) | What I'd love to see is character studies of either of them or something where they are together. A glimpse into their past histories, or their future endeavours would be absolutely fantastic. More (optional!) details in the letter. | letter |
| Makioka | Tango & Cash (1989) | Ray Tango, Gabriel Cash, Katherine 'Kiki' Tango | Anything involving the three of them, or any two of them in combination.Adventure, plot, a wild night out at Katherine's club. It is all good. All (as always optional) details in the letter | letter |
| Makioka | Golden Girls | Blanche Devereaux, Dorothy Zbornak | These two are my absolute favourites of the cast and I love them both very much. Anything you do with them at all would be much appreciated. I do ship them but I'm also absolutely fine with gen or them being shipped with canon or otherwise het pairings. There are more (optional) details in my letter. | letter |
| Makioka | History Boys (2006) | Stuart Dakin (History Boys 2006), Tom Irwin (History Boys 2006) | I do ship these two together fairly intensely but I'm also more than happy with gen, especially gen set after the events of the film. All details (as always optional!) are in the letter. | letter |
| makiyakinabe | 有頂天家族 | The Eccentric Family | Shimogamo Yaichirou, Shimogamo Yajirou, Shimogamo Yasaburō, Shimogamo Yashirou | Even though I've requested all four Shimogamo brothers, you're welcome to include other characters from the series, although I'd prefer it if the focus remains on the four of them (especially Yajirou, who's a literal frog in the well for most of most of the episodes!). Gen, please! I'd prefer a story without any pairings... well, unless if it's Shimogamo Souichirou/Mother Shimogamo (assuming that you're including them, that is; you don't have to, though!). I'd like a story about the Shimogamo brothers being, well, brotherly to one another. One of the aspects of The Eccentric Family that I really enjoy is the depth of their bond... how, despite their different (and sometimes opposing) personalities, they still understand and care a lot about each other. I'd like a slice-of-life story, although something plotty would be fine too. If you'd like some prompts to work with... how about something set pre-canon, such as the Shimogamo brothers having a shapeshifting contest? Or talking about how their day went while eating together? Or maybe something post-canon, with the four of them planning a birthday party for Mother Shimogamo? Thank you! |
|
| makiyakinabe | 神さまのいない日曜日 | Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi | Sunday Without God | Kiriko Zubreska, Ulla Euleus Hecmatika | Even though I've only requested these two, you're welcome to include other characters from the series. Original Characters are fine, too. I'd be fine with either gen or het (if you choose het, though, I'd prefer it if you stick to canon pairings). No smut, please! I'd like a fluffy story, but I'd be just happy with a slice-of-life or an introspective piece. I'd be happy with anything, really, but If you'd like some prompts to work with... how about something set pre-canon, such as the first lesson Kiriko taught Ulla? Or some of the gifts they give to one another (and the circumstances surrounding them)? Or maybe something set in canon, such as the meeting between them after Kiriko's return to Ortus with Ai, Julie and Scar? Or something post-canon, with Kiriko being noticeably older and Ulla looking roughly the same as she does in-series? Thank you! |
|
| makiyakinabe | Zetsuen no Tempest | Blast of Tempest | Yamamoto Evangeline, Kusaribe Samon, Kusaribe Natsumura, Hoshimura Junichirou | Even though I've requested these four characters, you're welcome to include other characters from the series (although since I've only seen the anime). Manga characters are fine too, though. I'd be fine with either gen or het, and I'm open to love triangles. Infidelity is a squick for me, though. No smut, please! I'd like to see something about their relationships with one another, since the anime only delves into the love/relationship triangle... or square(?) between Mahiro, Aika, Yoshino and Hakaze. I'd like a slice-of-life story, but crack is fine too. If you'd like some prompts, though... how about something set post-canon, such as Junichirou setting out to woo Evangeline after hearing her wonder aloud if she'd ever find her Mr. Right? Or Evangeline deciding that now that the world has been saved, she can make dating a priority? Thank you! |
|
| makiyakinabe | 신의 탑 | Tower of God (webtoon) | Twenty-Fifth Baam, Koon Aguero Agnis, Rak Wraithraiser | Even though I've only requested these three characters, you're welcome to include other characters from the series. Gen, please! I'd like to see a story about the friendship between these three characters. Their reasons for climbing the tower may be different from one another, but even so they've managed become friends and very important people in each other's lives. Their interactions with one another is one of my favourite things about the series. I'd like a fluffy story, but I'd be just as happy with a slice-of-life or something plotty. Angst is OK, but I'd prefer it if you included some humourous, happy or at least hopeful parts too! I'd like the story to be set in Season 1, although something set in the future is fine too. If you'd like some prompts to work with... how about the three of them plotting ways to get Yu Han-Sung to restore Rak to his normal size? Or talking about/arguing over what game to play to pass the time between lessons or tests? Thank you! |
|
| Malana | The Thick of It (TV) | Sam Cassidy, Jamie MacDonald, Malcolm Tucker | I'm a hopeless Malcolm/Jamie/Sam shipper, but I understand that there aren't many of us out there. So, anything with these three would make me happy. Malcolm's relationships with both of these people are very different than his relationships with everyone else. I'd love to see that explored. I'd be happy with something set during the series, or post series. We don't see much of Sam on the show (though we get to know her a bit more in The Missing DoSac Files book/iphone app) but she's able to put up with Malcolm and his moods, and he never scared her away or fired her. Jamie and Malcolm may have had a huge falling out, but there was genuine friendship there. |
|
| Malana | Deadwood | Silas Adams, Al Swearengen, Dan Dority (Deadwood) | I'd love to see something exploring the dynamic between the three of these men. Dan and Adams are both Al's protégés, but in very different ways: Adams is certainly capable of violence, but doesn't have Dan's way with brute force, and Dan will never understand the political side of things the way Adams does. I'm not looking for romance or slash, I'd rather something more true to the show. | |
| Malana | Veep | Dan Egan | I'd love to see something exploring Dan's day-to-day life as a giant douchebag. Any of the other characters are welcome. | |
| Malana | The Newsroom (US TV) | Don Keefer, Sloan Sabbith | Don and Sloan being badasses together, that's what I want. I adore the Don/Sloan relationship, either friendship or romance. | |

| malo_malo | The Iliad - Homer | Helen of Troy (Iliad), Hector (Iliad) | o I'm going to level with you, I ship Helen of Troy/Hector. A fic where they sneak around Troy guiltily banging would be amazing, as would a fic where they both pine for each other a lot but they never consummate it. An AU where Helen ran away with Hector instead of Paris is also something I would totally read, how would that change things? Would things really change? If you aren't into the ship, gen about how they went from being strangers to friends over the long, long course of the war would be more than acceptable. I'd also love a fic that's more about Helen, possibly something about when she found out that she was Zeus' daughter or adjusting to life in Troy or interacting with really any of the gods. An AU where Troy is a space station and the Greeks and the Trojans are battling it out in deep space would be so cool. | letter |
| malo_malo | Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV) | Amy Santiago | It's only been four episodes and I am so into this show. Right now, Santiago is my favorite, but there isn't a single characters that I dislike, so feel free to have her interacting with anyone from the precinct that you like. I love the dynamic between Santiago and Holt where she is trying so hard to suck up to a dude that doesn't want to be sucked up to, especially in contrast to Holt and Peralta's whole deal, so any kind of exploration of that would be so good. I liked what I saw of Santiago and Diaz interacting, so them working a case or hanging out outside of work would be interesting. Gen, especially case fic or backstory gen about when Amy joined the precinct or any earlier part of her life, would be great. Shipwise, I'd definitely read Amy/Rosa, Amy/Gina, Holt/his husband, and Rosa/Jake. Amy/Jake, as long as it's not the result of the wager and focuses on them being hyper-competitive and bickering, is totally cool too. Also, this fandom is basically made for undercover in a gay bar fic. Just saying. |
letter |
| malo_malo | Sumerian Mythology | Inanna | Ishtar (Sumerian Mythology) | All I want from this fandom is a fic about Inanna being her amazingly determined self. So, her contriving to expand her temple or dealing with any king of Uruk, either in the context of their sacred marriage or not. The descent of Inanna is obviously one of my favorites, so really anything about why she really decided to go to the underworld or her feelings about Dumuzi's actions or backstory as to why her sister dislikes her so much would be something I'd like. I find the relationship between Inanna and Enki to be really interesting, she stole the Mes from him, but he backs her up after her descent to the underworld goes pear shaped, so something exploring that further, such as a fic about her convincing him or tricking him into helping her secure more power for herself, or just something about them hanging out and bragging about their respective cities would be great. | letter |
| malo_malo | Back to the Future (Movies) | Marty McFly | o like any right thinking fan of these movies, I am all about the time travel. This means fic about Marty time traveling again to another point in his or any relative's future or past would be so good. Maybe Marty ends up in Rome and encounters a gladiator that looks suspiciously like him, especially when you take into account how many centuries separate them. Or maybe Marty goes further into the future than he'd gone before and stumbles into a dystopia or a rocketship on its way to Mars. Additionally, something about Marty dealing or not dealing with how radically different his life is after the first movie is over would be interesting for me. I enjoy the mentoring relationship deal that Marty and Doc have going on, so definitely feel free to incorporate him in any adventures, or really any other character you want. I don't really ship anything in this, so gen is fantastic, but, with the exception of incest and Biff/anyone, I'll happily read any ship your heart desires. | letter |
| mammothluv | Byzantium (2012) | Eleanor (Byzantium), Clara (Byzantium) | I'm very much interested in anything after the movie from these two. They were parting ways but that can't be the end for them and their relationship, can it? They're immortal and so very entangled with one another. Do they float in and out of each other's lives for years, decades, centuries? Is there one specific incident (maybe a danger to one or both of them?) that pulls them back together? How does time apart affect their relationship? Can they straight up love each other now that they're not spending every waking moment together or will there always be that love/hate push and pull between them? I love how desperately Clara wants to protect Eleanor and how often she screws it up. I love the way Eleanor loves Clara even when she's repulsed by some of the things she does. I love how they will fight each other but team up against anyone who dares come after one or both of them. I love that they're bound together whether they want to be or not and how clearly conflicted they are about that. I ship it, so, if you want to go a femslashy direction, please feel free! If you're not comfortable with that, that's absolutely fine though! I'm totally fine with the just a breath away from incestuous femslash way they're portrayed in canon too. |
letter |
| mammothluv | One Life to Live | Téa Delgado, Blair Cramer | Never have two people so fiercely loved and irritated one another all at the same time. I love the richness of this relationship. There was so much animosity between them which I think was always rooted in how alike they are in so many ways so it makes sense it grew into understanding and love. However, I adore the fact that that love is still laced with a talent and enthusiasm for annoying one another. I love both the televised OLTL and the online version that aired this past year. I don't care if you're familiar with both or only one or the other. The characterization and relationship carried on throughout both and that's what I care about! So, please feel free to write wherever in the show's timeline (or after if you like!) you're most familiar comfortable. I do, however, prefer them when it's evident they have a genuine affection for one another. I also, to perhaps no one's surprise, ship them with one another. So, if you want to write them as a pairing, yay, I say! If you don't see them as a pairing, also yay! Because I just want to see them together. I love the little family unit they make with their kids and seeing them commiserate over their children together and/or team up to protect their families. I also like them bitching about others and or bickering with each other over a glass of wine. I love them turning to or relying on each other in pretty much any situation you can think of. |

| mammothluv | Staying Alive (1983) | Laura (Staying Alive) | Tony: I'd like to get together with you and maybe talk sometime. Would that be possible? Laura: About what? Tony: About how incredible you are. Laura: Thank you, but I do already know that. This conversation and the fact that it ends with Laura slamming the door in Tony's face illustrates everything I love about her. I commented several times while watching this movie how awesome it would be if the film were all about Laura and not at all about Tony. Laura is fierce, talented, driven, and has better hair than all of us combined. She deserves her own story. Tony was one tiny sentence, if that, in said story. I like to think maybe she was just extremely bored that week. We know so little about her that I'm open to pretty much everything! Backstory? Something set after the movie? Rewrite the movie without Tony so it's all about Laura and her fabulous dance career? I'm into all of it! Does she have a best friend? A sister? Or is she pretty much on her own? I could totally read Laura as being fluid about her sexuality so if you want to try something femslashy with Cynthia or an original character (or multiple characters because I can see Laura leaving a string of lovers in her wake), I'm down with that. I'm open to some het too but I'd rather that not be the focus. |
letter |
| mammothluv | Saving Hope | Alex Reid, Luke Reid | They are precious. It's obvious they had a tough childhood and had to rely on each other. I know we see Alex supporting Luke and cleaning up after him a lot on the show but I think Luke has done his fair share of supporting Alex in his own way too. I love the ease of their affection with one another and the shared history and inside jokes. Even when they're getting under each other's skin, the obviously love the bejeezus out of one another. I'd dig anything about them! What did their childhood or teen years look like as they relied on each other in the midst of an unstable home life? Or maybe snapshots of their relationship at different points in time. Or what about a current day situation where Alex opens up to Luke or Luke is able to help and support Alex in some way? I ship Alex/Charlie, Alex/Joel, and Alex/Dawn so if you want to have any of those in the background of the fic, I'm down. I'd just rather the main focus be on Alex and Luke's relationship. Also, though I don't really see Alex/Luke in an incestous way, I do tend toward incesty shipping so if that's something that's calling to you and you think you can sell me on it with your story, don't let me hold you back. |
letter |
| mammothluv | Wire in the Blood | Alex Fielding, Tony Hill | Oh, these two. They really are such dopes but they're my dopes. They're so good at caring about each other when they don't concentrate on it and just let it happen but honestly kind of terrible at feelings when the issue is forced or brought to the forefront. I love that they're an odd couple who compliment one another perfectly. I like that they get geekily excited about each other's insights into cases. I like that they float toward one another in their personal lives whether they mean to or not. I dig their family moments with Ben. I love that working together is a little light spot in the darkness that they deal with in their work. I do ship them so, if you're down to go that direction, please do. But, I love them as great friends as well so I won't be the least bit disappointed if you write them as such. I'd just rather not see either of them paired with anyone else. I've watched all these episodes multiple times and spend probably more time than is reasonable thinking of them so I'm so fond of post-episode fic in this fandom. I think there's so much to fill in in the time between episodes. I also dig little quiet moments of finding time to take a break in between cases or in the middle of a case. And I dig moments when Alex and Tony open up to each other in ways they wouldn't open up to anyone else. And, of course, there's plenty of room for post-canon fic here and I'd be most interested to see what you think Alex and Tony are up to at any point after series end. I'm also quite fond of Paula and Kevin and pretty much all of the more minor characters so, though they're not necessary to my enjoyment of any fic, I certainly wouldn't mind them showing up! And, I should add that I also love Carol like crazy and am absolutely open to her appearing. I'm just one of the few people who doesn't 'ship her with Tony so I'd rather not see them paired romantically. |

| mardia | The Thick of It (TV) | Nicola Murray, Malcolm Tucker | What I absolutely want, dear Yuletide Author, is a fic where Nicola Murray gets a happy ending. (Please feel free to ignore Series 4 if you wish, as I remain in total denial that Series 4 exists at all.) I VERY much ship Malcolm/Nicola as a pairing, so a fic about the two of them would be AWESOME. (especially if it's an AU where things don't go horribly wrong oh please.) Alternatively, I'd be happy to see something involving Malcolm's backstory, maybe back in the days when he was dragging Jamie out of seminary school, or what he did before he got into politics (journalism maybe?) or whatever strikes your fancy. | letter |
| mardia | Tennis RPF | Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Juan Martin Del Potro (Tennis RPF) | o Novak is my favorite, even if this year didn't quite hit the dizzying heights of his last few years, and I'd lovelovelove something involving him and Juan Martin del Potro (after their Wimbledon semifinal, can you blame me for shipping the hell out of it?) OR, I am a longtime Novak/Andy fan (okay, where longtime means since last year) and would be just delighted to get something about them and their backstory. (If you were to write me a Juan/Novak fic with a jealous!Andy, author, I would love you for all eternity.) | letter |
| mardia | Jolene (Song) - Dolly Parton | Narrator (Jolene - Dolly Parton (Song)), Jolene (Jolene - Dolly Parton (Song)) | o I am that person who listens to the song Jolene and goes, "...wow that narrator sure is fixated on this Jolene person, huh?" Basically, I want all the femslash. I want all the femslash where Jolene doesn't even CARE about the narrator's significant other, she's just obsessing over the narrator, and of course the narrator's been obsessing over Jolene (for evidence, see...basically the entire song.) And then they get together and are super happy. | letter |
| mardia | The Good Wife (TV) | Alicia Florrick, Cary Agos | Author, if you could give me all the Cary-and-Alicia as the new Will-and-Diane fic, I will forever adore you. One of the absolute best things about last season was watching Cary and Alicia develop their friendship and understanding of each other, and I'd love to see more of that. Tell me about how Cary got to the point where he wanted nothing more than to have Alicia right by his side as he starts a new firm. Tell me about Alicia learning to trust Cary, about her burgeoning ambitions. (And if you want to go the Cary/Alicia route, I would not be opposed to that AT ALL. Particularly if it's an AU.) | letter |
| mardia | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | I won't lie, I ship Abbie/Ichabod like BURNING. So! Pretty much any Abbie/Ichabod fic will do here, although I have a particular fondness for the way these two tease each other, and Crane adjusting to the 21st century. If you could work in something about him being a history professor and trying to catch up to all the history he's missed in the past 200+ years, that would be awesome. | letter |
| Mardy | 20th Century CE RPF | Walt Disney (20th Century CE RPF), Nikita Khrushchev (20th Century CE RPF) | Despite concerns for his safety, what if Khrushchev /had/ visited Disneyland on his '59 tour of the US? Would there have been gangsters, rocket launchpads under the castle, some kind of zombie contagion in the water supply? Would Walt's submarine fleet have been enough as a line of defense, or did he have other protections in place throughout the park? Go as silly or epic or surreal as you want, dear writer; this little piece of almost-history absolutely deserves it. | letter |
| Mardy | 100 Books That Should Be Written (Tumblr) | A thousand-word excerpt from any of these four books would be great! Or possibly something a little different -- a rave review, maybe? But a ranty one might be more interesting, especially for something like An Awful Mess. Or a school book report on The Given Tree! Author's notes would be a very Eliot thing to do for April Was Nothing, or you could write a whole AU wiki entry based around Island Getaways and the premise that Earhart not only survived but made it big in the memoir market. In short, anything at all you want to do with this fandom, I absolutely want to read. | letter | |
| Mardy | Museum of Bad Art | What do these artworks get up to when there isn't anyone around to keep an eye on them? Do they travel around Boston wreaking merry havoc, like maybe breaking into the Museum of Fine Arts after hours so they can make fun of how the other half lives? Or are they the secret superheroes of the city, righting wrongs and performing feats of awesomeness that nobody would expect from a collection of dumpster decorations and thrift store rejects? I'll leave it totally up to you, dear writer, to decide whether the characters in the works involved are the baddest of the bad or just drawn that way. | letter | |
| Mardy | Once and Future King series - T. H. White | Lyo-lyok (Once and Future King), Wart | King Arthur | How does Lyo-lyok look back on her time as the Wart's teacher and traveling companion, the conversations they had, the things she learned about human beings in general and one silly goose of a boy in particular? Do they ever see each other again, and would either of them recognize the other if they did? (Or an alternate prompt if you've read The Book of Merlyn: What would have happened if the old wizard had let Arthur stay longer among the geese as he so very much wanted to?) | letter |
| Mardy | 喔 天啊! - 周靖龍 | Oh God! - Alon Chou | Why is that rascally goddess manipulating the cupbearer? Is it all just a divine prank, or does she have some kind of greater destiny in mind for the poor guy? What part will the king (and maybe the various onlookers) play in the events about to unfold? Whatever you choose to write, I'll be delighted to see what you make of this opulent world and the wonderfully, ridiculously expressive characters that inhabit it. | letter | |
| Mardy | Greek Mythology | Hestia (Greek Mythology) | Does quiet, self-effacing Hestia really prefer to have nothing to do with the other gods' squabbles, their meddling in mortal affairs, or is her participation more indirect and subtle than anyone realizes? Her role as goddess of the hearth, of fire and of the home and of sacrifice -- it seems like that could be a devastating combination under the wrong circumstances. Have those circumstances ever come to pass? If so, why are they (and her part in them) never spoken of? | letter |
| marginalia | Rent-a-Cat / Rentaneko | Yoshikawa (Rent-a-cat), Sayoko (Rent-a-cat) | I thought the movie was pretty much perfect: Sayoko progressed a totally reasonable amount & not the impossible rom-com leap that I had feared. But I'd love for some post-film sweetness, a few steps closer to a relationship, even. Femslash a plus, not a requirement. I legit like gen fic too. | letter |
| marginalia | Frances Ha (2012) | Frances Halladay | What I loved about this movie is that it was a breakup story about a friendship. I'll take anything here: pre film college shenanigans, post film reconciliation, Frances being awesome & awkward on her own, whatever. | |
| marginalia | Night Watch - Sarah Waters | Kay Langrish | Basically, I am just in love with Kay. More of Kay, more more more. | |
| marginalia | Bomb Girls | Betty McRae | More Betty! I have ALL OF THE FEELINGS about Betty. Betty in the past, Betty getting some loving', post-war Betty, Betty being out-on-the-town with Gladys & Vera (ladies who Know What They Want!), moar Betty. | |
| marginalia | Sound of My Voice (2011) | Maggie (Sound of My Voice) | A friend told me Brit Marling wants to do a sequel to this movie, but until then, WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH MAGGIE. I have no pet theory, so go for it! | |
| marginalia | Blancanieves (2012) | Rafita (Blancanieves), Carmen (Blancanieves) | FIX IT. *hands* | |
| marginaliana | British Comedy RPF | Susan Calman (British Comedy RPF), Richard Osman (British Comedy RPF) | Together they fight crime! Or something, anything - I just want them to be BFFs, basically. I would love to see something wacky where they really do have a secret life, but I would also love to see them meeting behind the scenes of some show or other and then becoming unconventional friends. I'd really rather that you didn't ship them romantically. | letter |
| marginaliana | I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again | I'd love something truly silly and filled with terrible jokes, here, just like the canon. I'm always fascinated by stories that give the 'behind the scenes' view of making a show, so you could tell a story about the running of Radio Prune and some sort of crisis that everyone has to come together to solve. I'd be happy with slash or het here, too, if you want to write a very silly romance. | letter | |
| marginaliana | The Three Investigators | Die drei ??? - Various Authors | Bob Andrews | I absolutely loved this series as a kid. Now that I've grown up I still love it, but I'm aware of how flat the characterization can be. I'd love something that makes the boys more three dimensional. Since I'm a librarian, Bob is my favorite, but I'd love to get a more well-rounded look at all of the boys. I'd also like to see some mystery-solving! A new mystery (rather than a behind-the-scenes of one of the books type story) would be my preference. | letter |
| marginaliana | Steerswoman Series - Rosemary Kirstein | Rowan (Steerswoman) | I really just want to see Rowan being an awesome Steerswoman. You could tell a pre-canon story or project how you think the unanswered questions of the canon so far are going to unfold, either way. I love seeing the intellectual problem-solving and the use of the scientific method, so it would be great to see her working on a mystery of some sort, either traditional or otherwise. | letter |
| margottenenbaum (artemis_sparks) | Game of Thrones RPF | Richard Madden, Kit Harington | Would totally love some Emilia and Rose as well! | letter |
| margottenenbaum (artemis_sparks) | Ugly Betty | Daniel Meade, Marc St. James | I would love something about Daniel and Marc hooking up, particularly when Marc was his assistant, but I'm not picky about timeline. And if you don't ship it gen is cool too! Also the more Amanda you can squeeze in, the better. | letter |
| margottenenbaum (artemis_sparks) | Mad Men | Don Draper, Joan Holloway | I'm really fascinated by Joan and Don's relationship, and would find almost anything about it interesting - either romantic or platonic, AU or canon. | letter |
| margottenenbaum (artemis_sparks) | Archie Comics | Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge | Okay, I am not craaazy familiar with the complete lexicon of Archie's comics - but don't let that stop you! I just want pretty girls being friends/enemies/lesbians. | letter |
| margottenenbaum (artemis_sparks) | Dead Like Me | I love every character on this show, so please feel free to explore anything and everything! I'm partial to George, Mason, and Daisy, but I genuinely do love all the characters. | letter | |
| mari4212 | The Lost World (TV) | Marguerite Krux, John Roxton | I love Marguerite as a character, especially her layers of deception, self-protection, and vulnerability. I love that she is unashamed of having done not nice things to survive, and that she is still able to care about people, even when she doesn't want to. I love John Roxton's honor and his loyalty. Anything with the two of them is fantastic, whether it be shippy fluff, something that works with their relationship/romance issues, or some kind of post ep. I have a lot more squee and plotbunnies at my yuletide letter. | letter |
| mari4212 | Stealing Fire - Jo Graham | eriously, anything in this tiny fandom will make me squee and roll in it like a cat with fresh catnip. Thais and Berenice interacting, Lydias and Ptolemy working through their thoughts after the ceremony with Alexander, Ptolemy wrestling with his choices about Thais and Berenice. I have more prompts and squee at my letter, but just go nuts here, I love them all to pieces. | letter | |
| mari4212 | The Prince of Egypt (1998) | o I rewatched this movie and began squeeing. Again, I am so open and just want to see someone play with this movie and the character relationships it gave to the Moses story. If you want Miriam and Tzipporah winding Moses up when they're in the desert, I'm good. If you want to play with Rameses' emotions at any point in the movie, I will dance. If you want to address Moses's three families: birth, adopted, and married in any way, I will probably compose a hymn of praise in your name. | letter | |
| mari4212 | Dragon Jousters series - Mercedes Lackey | I love these two characters, and as I end up saying a lot, I'm happy with anything ever for them. Especially as there is nothing written at the Archive, though I haven't hunted through ff.net yet. Random plot concepts: their brotherhood after the end of the series, their similarities in isolation from their peers, dragon shenanigans for the win, Ari's perspective on any of the events in Joust. | letter | |

| marketchippie | St Trinian's (2007 2009) | Miss Dickinson (St Trinian's) | Real deal: I want femslash between Chelsea and Miss Dickinson 'cause I am shallow and IT'S BASICALLY CANON. I want mutual mentorship—in badness and braininess respectively, them learning from each other and taking on each other's bestworsts and manipulating each other into mutual better/worstness. I want them running cons. This is a sexy dynamic of course, as I said I am not deep and can think of good setpieces involving desks and skirts, but DAMN IT I WOULD LOVE ME SOME HIGH CONCEPT ABSURDITY ALONG WITH THAT. It's St. T's, you're given carte blanche go all-out with stakes. | letter |
| marketchippie | Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV) | Rosa Diaz, Amy Santiago | GOSH! I LOVE THIS SHOW. It makes me laugh a ton, I love everyone, I love the ensemble dynamics, and I'm particularly fond of the Diaz-Santiago friendship. Would take fic just about them drinking after work (...if they did shots and made out, that'd be a-okay too), would take pratfall road trip fic, would take whatever. If you wanna do a comedy noir AU, that'd also be a lot, in a great way, wouldn't it? |
letter |
| marketchippie | L.A. Confidential (1997) | Ed Exley, Bud White | Three words: Post Movie Threesome (Seriously—Exley drives down to Arizona for a visit while White's recuperating, imposes on Lynn's hostess-ship and liquor cabinet, the three of them are awkward and affectionate and equilibrated and often drunk, everyone profits emotionally, including you and I.) |
|
| marketchippie | The Mummy Series | Anck Su Namun (The Mummy Series) Imhotep (The Mummy Series) | Anck-Su-Namun/Imhotep, either in flashback falling in love, in-movie-present and navigating reincarnation, or (hopefully?) BOTH. | |
| marketchippie | Deadwood | Trixie (Deadwood), Joanie Stubbs | I love Trixie and I love most of all, above many things in the show...her relationship with Alma Garret. That's one of my favorite tv female friendships of ALL TIME. (I'm sorry for requesting this when she's not teeeeeechnically on the list—I missed noms, like a putz—but PLEASE GOD Alma Garret fic is all I want out of life, Alma Garret is the greatest devotion of my soul and if you write her for me I'll sing. I'll fucking sing, and ascend to heaven. Everything about her—her manner (THAT PERFORMANCE), her canniness, her controlled lashing-out, her pettiness and her strained social genius, her flaws and her veneer—hits me in the gut, but especially—again!—her relationship with Trixie.) Anyway, I really, really love the two of them together, interacting, the class divide and the reluctant deep fullhearted evolving love between the two of them. Favorite female friendships on TV ever, and if you write me any of them, I'll be perfectly happy. And I love the broader interplay of the two of them with Sol and Seth, that perfectly balanced love square (as in, square of people who love the shit out of each other in triangulated patterns) (that don't touch opposing corners—I love Trixie's prickliness both when she loves and when she's pissed, and damn but I love how little time she has for Seth). I have all the time in the world for them (plus Martha, actually, while we're at tangential relationships between people who AREN'T ON THE LIST, JEEZ DEADWOODIANS GET IT TOGETHER) and would be giddy reading about all of them. Hell, any AU where they can take a roadtrip would be ruinous and FAB. I also requested Joanie, and would be v pleased with backstory fic about her time with Cy in the Mississippi—that relationship is horror-based but fascinating, the worst kind of Hades/Persephone the moral inverse of Al-and-Trixie's weird platonic-but-also-vaguely-marital nonromantic-soulmate thing. Basically, I love this ensemble and their knack for loving each other. I value the women particularly (and I will take Alma Garret fic as a SUPERGIFT in defiance of all rules). The show is brilliant and broad and bighearted and genius-written and there's no end of raw material you can use right there—though, being me, I ain't ever averse to AUs, serious and silly alike. |
letter |
| marketchippie | The Good Wife (TV) | Diane Lockhart, Will Gardner | While this is a show where I adore the shit out of the ensemble at large, the specific light of my life happens to be Diane and Will's relationship—platonic yet sexy, all-consumingly important to both of them not necessarily because either of them, equal and loving and sly and great and perversely proudly parental, just TO A LAW FIRM. I want fucking triumphant happydays Diane/Will, either early days or office shenanigans or whatever god OFFICE SEX (passing the bottle of scotch and laughing at each other and Diane taking off her expensive stockings and the whole deal not affecting great change on their dynamic?)—indulge me, pls, this season is stressing my shit out ALL OF THE WAY. Alternately: Lockhart/Gardner spy agency au? LOCKHART/GARDNER SPY AGENCY AU. |

| Marks | Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls - Anton DiSclafani | Theodora Atwell, Samuel Atwell | Yeah, so I feel mildly terrible for this, but I can't be the only one who thought Sam's reaction to Thea went above and beyond average brotherly concern. This means I'm not against some intense jealousy sex after Thea's return, or further down the line. On the gen not-incest side of things, the last chapter tells us that Sam stays down south and gets married while Thea moves north, so I'd love to read a future fic where they literally meet in the middle. | letter |
| Marks | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf RPF), Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf RPF) | Listen, these two are besties and they make numerous references to all the sex they're probably having, and I want to read about that. Nice and easy. Please no girlfriend/fiancée bashing. | letter |
| Marks | Parks and Recreation | I have two ideas for this fandom, one canon-based and one out there. I would love either equally, or something else entirely. You can focus on any characters you'd like. I am easy. The only thing that I ask is that you only include canon ships. I'm way too into them to want any of them broken up. 1. The canon one is based on that interview question "Where do you see yourself in five years?" It was inspired by Ann looking to leave Pawnee when her baby is born. So, where do you see the various denizens of Pawnee in five years? Can you see Leslie ever leaving, maybe being voted into office in Indianapolis or even Washington D.C.? MAYBE SHE WORKS FOR HILLARY CLINTON! OR JOE BIDEN! Where's Donna going to set up next? Will Tom get fed up with Jean-Ralphio's dad's shenanigans and move Rent-A-Swag across the country? 2. The out there one is a fusion with Welcome to Night Vale. If you don't know Welcome to Night Vale, just ignore this unless you feel like getting into it. I provide links on my Dear Yuletide Author entry. But if you're familiar and intrigued, I'm not looking for a crossover unless it's something like Leslie listening to Cecil in the background. All I want is the Parks department of Pawnee to be the Parks department of Night Vale. There are so many similarities between the two series, especially the small town defensiveness of a town that's got lots and lots and LOTS of problems. Is Leslie in charge of maintaining the Dog Park? Can Ron even be a Libertarian with the Secret Police's helicopters hovering overhead? Maybe April's a happier person surrounded by Night Vale's gore. I just think this could be really clever and cute. |

| Marks | New Girl | Winston Bishop | Okay, Winston has slowly been losing it over the last two seasons and I've loved every second of it. I just wish the show would focus on him more often! I'd love a day in the life of Winston Bishop, especially if you're including large doses of Ferguson. That cat is the best addition to New Girl in a long while. | letter |
| Marks | Fast and the Furious Series | Roman Pearce | For me, The Fast and The Furious is all about fun and Roman's so much fun that I can't not request him. I really want to know what happens with him in between the end of 2 Fast 2 Furious and his reappearance in Fast 5. A nice little adventure fic would be right up my alley, especially if peppered with large doses of humor and car crashes. I also wouldn't be against some Roman/Tej slash. I can't be the only one in the world who doesn't mind reading more into their playful banter. Or if you wanted to write Roman gen where Tej shows up constantly just to make fun of him, that would be fantastic. |
letter |
| Marks | The Mindy Project | Betsy Putch, Jeremy Reed | I just really like the dynamic these two have together and would be happy to see Betsy put a stop to Jeremy's womanizing ways. The episode where Jeremy goes along with Betsy for Thanksgiving is one of my favorites. Betsy doesn't like that her parents treat her like a little kid, but it seems like Jeremy's parents don't like their doctor-in-America son much at all. I'd be happy to see them making a little family together. Background Mindy/Danny would also be great! |
letter |
| Mark_C | The Six Million Dollar Man | Steve Austin (The Six Million Dollar Man), Oscar Goldman (The Six Million Dollar Man), Rudy Wells (The Six Million Dollar Man), Jaime Summers (The Six Million Dollar Man) | teve and Jaime go on assignment and during it's completion, Jaime is injured. During her recovery she remembers her time with Steve and they try to make up for lost time. | letter |
| Mark_C | The Greatest American Hero | Ralph Hinkley, Pam Davidson, Bill Maxwell | Ralph, Pam and Bill are brought out to the desert once again to meet with the alien that gave Ralph the suit. To their surprise, Pam is given a suit to help Ralph and Bill in their efforts and is given an instruction book similar to the one Ralph was given. The story can take place during any season and can also include kids from Ralph's class. |
letter |
| Mark_C | Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (TV) | Peter Parker (Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends), May Parker (Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends), Bobby Drake (Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends), Angelica Jones (Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends) | Peter is celebrating a birthday with Bobby and Angelica planning a surprise party. They are charged with getting Peter there but in the process, they run into a classic Spider-Man villain and have to stop them before reaching the party. | letter |
| Mark_C | Ultimate Comics Spider-Man | Miles Morales (Ultimates), Clone Gwen Stacy (Ultimateverse), Mary Jane Watson (Ultimates), Jessica Drew (Ultimates) | As Miles struggles with being Spider-Man, he turns to those who knew Peter best to help him become a hero just like the original. | letter |
| marlowe_tops | 16th Century CE RPF | William Shakespeare (16th Century CE RPF), Christopher Marlowe (16th Century CE RPF) | lash and antics featuring Kit and Will! Have them loyal and deeply in love, or gallivanting about with everyone and their mother. AUs loved, sex encouraged, plot adored, but most of all I'm here for the antics and the sexual tension. | letter |
| marlowe_tops | Romeo And Juliet - Shakespeare | Mercutio | Give me slash with Mercutio and anyone. I prefer Mercutio/Tybalt or a a Mercutio/Romeo/Benvolio threesome, but at any rate it should be full of snappy dialogue and scandalous innuendo, and possibly hatesex (if Tybalt is involved). I'll be thrilled with sappy and sweet, too, AUs are wonderful, and in any case just pretend the latter half of the play didn't happen and that there are happy endings all around. | |
| marlowe_tops | Brideshead Revisited (2008) | Sebastian Flyte | omeone please give Sebastian a happy ending. Write an AU or just rewrite the book the way it "should” have ended. Slash him with Charles or have him find the OMC of his dreams. I strongly prefer Sebastian written as a romantic submissive (the way Ben Whishaw plays him), and if he ends up sexually submissive in your story that would be wonderful and amazing. Kink is not required but would be awesome. Cuddles and reassurance are definitely required. | |
| marlowe_tops | Kushiel's Legacy - Jacqueline Carey | Mavros Shahrizai | Mavros/any male character. Prefer romance, and sex. Match him with someone in canon or give him an OMC. If you'd rather write slash between two other male characters in the Imriel books, that's great too! Those books hinted at so much slash and delivered none. I love love love the Shahrizai, so all Shahrizai kink and antics are highly encouraged. Just tell me a slashy love story. | |
| marlowe_tops | The Hour | Freddie Lyon, Hector Madden | Freddie/Hector or Bel/Freddie/Hector. I felt like in the show, the love triangle of the three main characters had all three sides, but the Freddie/Hector side was neglected compared to the others. I'd love to see Freddie and Hector find happiness in each other (with an assumed Bel and Marnie finding happiness in other relationships offscreen), much to their mutual surprise. Or, write me the love triangle with all three sides even (or slightly favoring Freddie/Hector because that wasn't covered much in the show). Bel, Freddie and Hector enter into a relationship and even though they're all busy and terrible at relationships on their own, somehow they find that as a balanced triangle it works. I'd be best pleased by a story where all three never appear in the same scene at the same time, it's a story of Bel/Hector and Hector/Freddie and Bel/Freddie, and yet they've accepted that they're all for each other and that it's a threesome. Bonus points for Bel being romantically dominant (watching out for her boys and making sure that their needs are fulfilled romantically within the threesome). |
|
| marlowe_tops | Zenda Novels - Anthony Hope | Rupert of Hentzau | Write me a Rupert story. Any sort of Rupert story: have him lose his heart, have him find his heart, redeem him, let him revel in his villainy, any or all of the above. Romance and sexiness highly encouraged, slash preferred but not required. | |
| MarsDragon | Final Fantasy Tactics | Ramza Beoulve (FF Tactics), Zalbaag Beoulve (FF Tactics), Dycedarg Beoulve (FF Tactics), Ajora Glabados (FF Tactics) | I'd like to see some stuff about the Beoulve brothers and how they relate to each other and the larger issues of the game. (class, war, the afterlife, demons...) I'd also like something about Ajora and his/her life, if it was exactly like the Germonik Scriptures or if that's just another biased recording of history. | letter |
| MarsDragon | Metal Gear | Big Boss (Metal Gear), Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, The Boss (Metal Gear) | Metal Gear 1/2 fic about Solid Snake and Big Boss, going into more depth than was possible for the games at the time, would be really great. Or something playing up the legacy themes with The Boss/Big Boss/Solid and Liquid. Or just plain goofy comedy fic about any group in the series, I love them all. | letter |
| MarsDragon | Persona 2 | Nyarlathotep, Amano Maya, Lisa Silverman, Suou Tatsuya | Anything with Nyarlathotep would be great, either having philosophical arguments with Philemon or trolling the cast. Or something with Lisa and Eikichi, exploring their relationship. Post-apocalyptic fic about the IS world would be interesting. | letter |
| MarsDragon | Psychic Force | Keith Evans, Burn Griffith, Patty Myers, Carlo Belfrond | I'd like some fic exploring the world outside all the psychics meeting and instantly deciding to kill each other. Does NOA have any human sympathizers, are there less violent psychic rights organizations, that sort of thing. I like Keith/Burn, so something to get them together without tragedy would be great. Or Carlo holding NOA together between 2010-2012. Or some fic about Patty and her life and background. | letter |
| MarsDragon | 真女神転生IV | Shin Megami Tensei IV | Nozomi (Shin Megami Tensei) Akira (Shin Megami Tensei) Protagonist (Shin Megami Tensei IV) Walter (Shin Megami Tensei) | I love demons and want all the fic about demons and humanity fighting/working together/eating each other/sexing each other. I'd love to explore the various Tokyos more, especially Blasted and Infernal Tokyos, and the history of Mikado. Or just how Walter (and Jonathan) go from being decent people to...SMT Law and Chaos Heroes. | letter |
| MarsDragon | Super Robot Wars: Original Generation | Leona Garstein, Ryusei Date, Sanger Zonvolt, Raidiese F. Branstein | I love team shenanigans and relationships, if it's the SRX Team, the Octo Squad, or the Aggressors. I also love background for any of the characters, especially Rai and Leona when they're growing up. And as a robot nerd, I can always appreciate Ryusei geeking out about robots (and no one else being able to stand him). | letter |
| marycontraire | The Pacific | Bill "Hoosier" Smith, Eugene Sledge, Sidney Phillips, Robert Leckie | I'd love something where either Hoosier and Leckie or Sid and Eugene discuss the war several years after it's over. Maybe Leckie visits Hoosier after the South Pacific incident? Or Sid and Eugene struggle to connect back at home, because even though they both fought in the war, their war experiences didn't overlap? Either way, I'd prefer gen only, and respect for the fact that these men eventually married and had families. | letter |
| marycontraire | Justified | Tim Gutterson, Art Mullen, Colton Rhodes | I'm interested in any gen that explores Tim's PTSD and adjustment to civilian life, but especially anything that touches on his relationship with Colt or Art. Especially if Art tries and fails to "fix" him. | letter |
| marycontraire | The Wire | Ellis Carver, Randy Wagstaff | I'd love anything that explores Carver's failure to help Randy. Canon-compliant about his guilt afterwards, or AU where he actually takes greater steps to fix his mistake. | letter |
| marycontraire | The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton | Dallas Winston, Johnny Cade, Ponyboy Curtis | THIS IS MY ANNUAL REQUEST FOR ANY AND ALL CANON-COMPLIANT JOHNNY/DALLY LOVE. I'm happy with either slash or brotherly love, as long as it's crystal clear that Johnny is the only thing Dally loves and he doesn't want Johnny to get tough and jaded like him. HOWEVER, I would also be thrilled with a Darry-perspective (though I see he's not listed) fic on his relationship with Pony, and how he's only trying to give Pony better than what he got. |
letter |
| masterofmidgets | Guilded Age | Frigg Akerfeldt | Anything Frigg-centric! Backstory about her character outside the game, backstory about her time with the Sisterhood, adventure fic, sexytimes, or just Frigg hitting things really hard. | letter |
| masterofmidgets | Lakeside View Apartments Suite (song) | I just really want to see more of these people - how did they get here? How do they know each other? What's in John's envelopes (aside from drugs?). What's in Ray's message? Happy ending optional, but not unappreciated. | letter | |
| masterofmidgets | The Bill | Craig Gilmore, Gina Gold | More of Craig and Gina's odd working friendship, please! Craig/Luke, Craig/other guys, and Craig/no one are all awesome, as are Gina being a smart tough old bitch, Craig being a responsible sergeant, and dealing with homophobia in the police force. | letter |
| masterofmidgets | Cyteen Series - C. J. Cherryh | Justin Warrick (Cyteen), Grant ALX-972 (Cyteen), Ariane Emory II (Cyteen) | Ari II being scary-smart, Justin/Grant hugging and taking care of each other. Emotional trauma+domesticity ftw? | letter |
| masterofmidgets | The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde | There is no combination of Dorian+Basil, Henry, or Alan I will not find fascinating (especially if it involves Basil's romantic pining, Dorian's rather precarious virtue, or the backstory on what, exactly, he blackmails Alan with). | letter | |
| masterofmidgets | Valor Series - Tanya Huff | Plotty adventure fic with Sh'quo Company (at any point in the novels/pre Valor's Choice) would be great! Or slice of life or (slightly sarcastic) romance fic with Torrin and Craig. Or Binti's lady-kissing adventures. Or Haysole/Hollice fic. Or Ressk and Werst teaming together to prank everyone and/or take over the world. Pretty much anything set in this world, really! If you would like to pretend that any/all characters made it out alive, I won't tell. | letter | |

| mattador | Persona 3 | Kirijo Mitsuru, Aragaki Shinjiro | I'd like to see what happened in between Persona 3 FES & Persona 4 Arena, with a special emphasis on the ladies of SEES. If you chose a FeMC route, Shinjiro, too. | letter |
| mattador | Otoyomegatari | The Bride's Stories | Either 1) Shippy fluff with Amira & Karluk, preferably set somewhere after their current troubles have been resolved; or 2) How Smith wins his bride back? If there are additional Great Game shenanigans, that's a plus. |
letter | |

| mattador | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Locke Lamora, Nazca Barsavi | Pre-TLOLL, anytime from age 7-21, Nazca & Locke (and the Gentleman bastards, optionally) getting into trouble together. | letter |
| mautadite | Luther (TV) | John Luther, Justin Ripley | Ah, pretty much anything romantic between these two would tickle me pink. I would prefer to avoid angst (that is to say, the subject matter can be dark or serious, but I'd really like a happy ending), so if you want to do an AU of season three, that would be amazing. I very much enjoy submissive Justin, so if you decide to make this M or E rated, then... :) But again, pretty much anything romantic is great! Completely optional poetry quote for added inspiration: I loved my friend. [x] [link: http://tundras.tumblr.com/post/43070252130/aseaofquotes-langston-hughes-poem] |
letter |
| mautadite | Morning Glories | Hisao Fukayama, Hunter (Morning Glories), Casey Blevins, Jade Ellsworth | I'd love either a Hisao/Hunter or a Casey/Jade fic (or both ships, if you're so inclined). Uncovering mysteries of the school, being badasses in the future, AU from the beginning... your choice! I don't mind things getting dark or gory (just no rape/dubcon). Completely optional poetry quote for added inspiration: Girls unbreasted, wear guns like earrings. Boys ungamed, grip them like tickets. The spree is a wake. Admission is free.

letter |
| mautadite | My Mad Fat Diary | Finn Nelson, Rae Earl | Ideally, I'd love a slice of life story about Rae and Finn's early days as a couple; how they figure stuff out, get comfortable with each other. If you're not into Rae/Finn, anything that focuses on Rae's relationships with the other women in her life (romantic, familial, or platonic) would be lovely. Completely optional poetry quote for added inspiration: If not in yours In whose In whose language Am I If not in yours Beautiful [x] [link: http://tundras.tumblr.com/post/44365883808/meditations-on-the-declensions-of-beauty-by-the] |
letter |
| mautadite | Orange is the New Black | Janae Watson | I love Janae, and I've love a story about her gradually adjusting to life in prison, coming to terms with what happened and making peace with herself, and how she befriends/influences others. Romance would be lovely, and I'm not choosey as to who with, but I'd much prefer it to be: 1) f/f, and less importantly 2) with someone she's already friendly/has a connection with. Completely optional poetry quote for added inspiration: I walk slowly in the wind. I walk because I cannot crawl or fly.

| mayhap | The Bugle (podcast) | Textual fanfic for an audio newspaper for a visual world! I want you to feel free to do literally anything with this request whatsoever. Bugle RPF, Bugle pastiche, ridiculous over-elaborations on even the most minor of Bugle sketches, running jokes or off-hand references, The Bugle: Yuletide edition, pun runs on the subject of your choice, some kind of mashup or fusion with another fandom(s), ANYTHING. I just really, REALLY love the Bugle. (P.S. [bleep] you, Chris!) | letter | |
| mayhap | Curse Workers Series - Holly Black | Cassel Sharpe, Lila Zacharov | I think these two have absolutely smoldering chemistry throughout the entire trilogy, and I would absolutely love a story about what they're like when they're not in an adversarial relationship--or, more realistically, a less adversarial relationship. A con story would be great fun, even--or maybe especially--if it's a very small or silly con. You could delve into the magical politics, which are awesome and fascinating, or you can completely handwave the future magicopolitical situation if you're not writing that kind of story. On the pornier side, I would love an exploration of Cassel's budding kinky side, including his early taste for masochism and submission (ear-piercing scene, whee!). If you want to write kink, feel free to let your own tastes and/or characterizations lead you where they will; I'm more into how they feel about it than any specific acts. My only squicks/non-desired kinks here are permanent non-decorative disfigurement (piercings or scarification would actually be kind of in character for this pairing...) and 24/7 D/s, but conversely please don't feel like I'm demanding that you write something "extreme" rather than, say, Lila pinning Cassel's wrists and bossing him around in bed, because believe me, that would be just as cool. | letter |
| mayhap | Dialogues - Plato | Socrates (Plato's Dialogues), Alcibiades (Plato's Dialogues) | It is entirely contrary to the thesis Plato is setting forth in the Symposium for Socrates and Alcibiades to have sex. Well, as Plato warned in Phaedrus, his writing is now quite unable to protect or help itself, and I absolutely think Socrates and Alcibiades should have had sex. I love the role reversal in the beautiful younger man begging for the attentions of the older one. Does Socrates talk philosophy in bed, or does he turn his eponymous method to other matters? Did Alcibiades really vandalize all the Herms in Athens, and if so, what did he do with all those stone phalluses? Also, who tops? (I have zero preference either way, just that given the period, they should probably have some kind of opinion and/or disagreement about it. You decide!) | letter |
| mayhap | Once and Future King series - T. H. White | Wart | King Arthur, Guenever (Once and Future King), Lancelot du Lac (Once and Future King) | I love all three of them so much and just want them to be happy together, or at least, unhappy in a different way together. I would love fluffy happy threesomes or angsty bittersweet threesomes or a story about a time when they all had fun together or a story about how they hurt each other even when they don't mean to. I love the anachronistic mash-up time period of the book, but I also think a modern story with a returned future Arthur could be really interesting if you wanted to do something with that and get outside of the inevitable tragic ending that way. If there happens to be a place in your story for a sarcastic jerkass knight, I would never say no to a cameo by Sir Kay, because I love that idiot. | letter |
| mayhap | Verfolgt | Punish Me (2006) | Jan Winkler, Elsa Seifert | I love how this film takes a scenario that is pure dirtybadwrong id-fuel and treats it with a clear-eyed sympathy. I'm primarily interested in what happens to them afterwards—does Jan ever learn how to ask for what he wants without first inappropriately stalking an authority figure? Does Elsa pursue her unexpected interest in sadomasochism in a more ethically-appropriate manner, and how: in a relationship, with an outside play partner, pro-domme work? Do either or both of them manage to recapture the spark in a licit relationship, and how do they go about it? Do they ever encounter each other again, accidentally or on purpose, after months or after years, and if so, how do they interact? If they go their separate ways, you could write about them each separately in two strands, or you have my official permission to write a story that focuses primarily on Elsa or primarily on Jan where the other never appears onscreen, so to speak. I really like the metaphor Elsa uses about entering a blue room to describe how she feels when she's doing a scene with Jan, and it would be really cool to see that elaborated on, which could be chronologically during the film, or not. If Elsa is found out and officially sanctioned for her relationship with Jan it could be a really interesting added dimension to the theme of punishment, but the one thing I absolutely do not want is a story that has zero sympathy for her although it's not necessary to condone her actions. | letter |

| Meadow Lion (Meadow_Lion) | Days of Our Lives | Sonny Kiriakis, Will Horton | Give me missing scenes, give me extended scenes, give me deeper looks into their thoughts during scenes, give me future scenes . . . I want it all, any story of theirs that the show hasn't fully told us. Any rating is fine. You're welcome to incorporate any other characters from the series and/or from your imagination, as long as the primary focus stays on these two, but I should warn you that I rarely pay attention to DoOL scenes that don't include at least one of these two. I'd rather not read anything nonconsensual or deathfic (unless that becomes canon, but it's always fixable in soaps!); angst is okay; humor is great; and happy endings are my preference. |
letter |
| Meadow Lion (Meadow_Lion) | Political Animals | Thomas "T. J." Hammond | A story about T.J. and Congressman Sean Reeves would be awesome, even more if they found their way to happiness together. We saw so little of their past relationship that I would appreciate exploration of that. More of T.J. himself, moving on, would be excellent too. Any rating is fine, and you're welcome to incorporate any other characters from the miniseries and/or from your imagination, as long as the primary focus stays on T.J. and Bud gets as little attention as possible. I'd rather not read anything nonconsensual or deathfic; angst is okay; humor is great; and happy endings are my preference. |
letter |
| Meadow Lion (Meadow_Lion) | Alice (2009) | Alice Hamilton, Hatter (Alice) | Anything you are interested in writing about their post-canon life would make me very happy, although I'm sure I would also enjoy earlier stories. If you're stuck, here are a few potential starting questions: How does Hatter adapt to life in Alice's world? How does Alice adapt to being in a committed, emotionally intimate relationship with him? Time travels differently between the worlds; what does that mean for how Hatter ages or experiences time in Alice's world? Don't feel like you must address any of those, if you're inspired in a different direction! Any rating is fine, and you're welcome to incorporate any other characters from the miniseries and/or from your imagination, as long as the primary focus stays on these two. I'd rather not read anything nonconsensual or deathfic; angst is okay; humor is great; and happy endings are my preference. |
letter |
| Meadow Lion (Meadow_Lion) | Cold Case | Billie Ducette, Rose Collins | I love Billie and Rose, and I will love any story about them. You're welcome to incorporate any other characters from the episode, the series more broadly, and/or from your imagination. I am pretty equally fond of many other single-episode queer characters from the series, e.g., Justin Bradley and Valentino ("One Night"), Jimmy Bruno and Sean "Coop" Cooper ("Forever Blue"), Sam Randall and Dom Barron ("Boy Crazy"), Daniela ("Daniela"), Daniel Holtz and Henry Phillips ("A Time to Hate"), and Jeff Kern ("It's Raining Men"). So, if you're inclined, you could craft your 1,000+ words out of smaller pieces, one about Billie and Rose and one or more about some of the other aforementioned characters, as long as each piece is complete and/or it forms a complete whole. Or you can write all about Billie and Rose, because *I will love any story about them*. Any rating is fine. I'd rather not read anything nonconsensual; angst is okay; humor is great; and happy endings are my preference, although that's understandably not compatible with canon in this case. |
letter |
| Meadow Lion (Meadow_Lion) | The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004) | Mia Thermopolis, Nicholas Devereaux, Lilly Moscovitz | I watch this fun film every chance I get and adore its characters. A story about them would be wonderful, whether it is romantic, or involves capers and mishaps, or shows the holidays in Genovia, or whatever other notion strikes your fancy. Any rating is fine, as are gen fic, femmeslash, and a threesome; I'd rather, though, that there not be Lilly/Nicholas unless Mia is aware and approving of -- if not participating in -- it as part of her relationship with them. You're welcome to incorporate any other characters from the film and/or from your imagination, as long as the primary focus stays on these three. I'd rather not read anything nonconsensual or deathfic; angst is okay; humor is great; and happy endings are my preference. |
letter |
| Meadow Lion (Meadow_Lion) | In the Flesh (TV) | Kieren Walker, Rick Macy | This couple broke my heart, in a way that few others have and in a way that I never imagined zombies could. I am curious about more of their history than we saw onscreen. Beyond current canon, I hope for Kieren to find happiness; that could be with someone else, or there could be a resurrection method for Rick, or Kieren could come into his own more, but I think Rick will always have part of Kieren's heart. I really just want to see more of both of them. Any rating is fine, and you're welcome to incorporate any other characters from the film and/or from your imagination, as long as the primary focus stays on these two. I'd rather not read anything nonconsensual; angst is okay; humor is great; and happy endings are my preference. |

| Measured_Words | Hadestown (Musical) | I would seriously love to see more fic about any of the relationships in the musical, but I admit that I am most interested in things that cut through or across the relationship lines, like Hades/Eurydice, or Persephone/Orpheus, or even Persephone/Eurydice and Hades/Orpheus! I am happy whether those relationships are shippy or gen, and whatever rating you want to make them, but I would like to see more of those dynamics explored, especially in relation to how they affect what happens in the story as presented in the musical, or after it. As far as the other characters go, I love Hermes in any and all form and would love to know more about his place in this world, and his role in this version of the story. Why does he help Orpheus here? Has he seen other girls like Eurydice come through to Hadestown? What are his relationships like with the other characters? Does he help Persephone smuggle things in from the outside/upper world? The same goes for The Fates - how do they fit into this world, and what is their connection to the others, and especially Eurydice? Are they maybe other girls who have previously piqued Hades' interest in the same way? And if yes, what does Persephone think of them? |

| Measured_Words | Invisible Light - Scissor Sisters (Song) | This song is so suggestive to me, and I can listen to it over and over and over. It's very trance-y. what is the invisible light? Who is the audience here? Is this just all about drugs? Some metaphysical trancendance (through drugs/music?)? What about the monologue by Sir Ian McKellen (yes really) - what's that about? If you just want to take a piece of this and run with it, that would be awesome. If you want to watch the crazy... B-grade/exploitation/cult-movie like video and tell me anything about that, I'm also totally game. | ||
| Measured_Words | The Shadow (Pulp) | I love the Shadow in pretty much all its iterations. For anyone not already familiar with him, or his extended franchise, the easiest shorthand is to say that he is a pulp/radio drama detective from the 30's, who is also the original Batman. I didn't specify any characters here, but mostly because due to the nature of the stories I thought it best not to limit my author (that's you, you wonderful person :D) Use any of the agents, off doing agenty things. Focus on the Shadow! Explore the relationship dynamics that come out of living in a mostly all-male world! Subvert the terrible Orientalism, or the mind-bogglingly ridiculous Great White Man myth that is at the heart of The Shadow's identity in the stories! Whatever you like! I do like action-y stories, which would work well here, but I also like stories about how background people are affected by The Shadow, directly or indirectly. You don't even to use The Shadow himself if you don't want to, but feel free to do so if that's your desire! I also think it would be cool to read a story that is more from the point of view of some of the criminal elements. This is probably the fandom on the list where my 'porn must contribute to the story or characters' guideline is something I feel most strongly about. If it is integral that, say, Harry has to bang someone to get info, or you want to look at the sexual dynamics between Margot, the real Lamont, and The Shadow (or between the Shadow and any of his agents), that would also be awesome, as long as it isn't *just* porn with some names pasted on. Also, if you really want to write something in the tone of the original, with all its issues, that is cool, go right ahead! I realize the canon is as problematic as all get out, but I love it anyway. | ||
| Measured_Words | My Imaginary Well-Dressed Toddler Daughter | I didn't nominate this, but I love whoever did! I had an epiphany about how great a Yuletide fandom it would be the other day, and was delighted to see it on the list. If you are not familiar, it is a Pinterest (I think there is also a tumblr, facbook, etc) where the 'Mother' posts anecdotes about the opinions and antics of her imaginary well dressed toddler daughter, Quinoa. Quinoa has several friends with equally clever names like Hashtag, Ellipses, and Chevron. I think Chevron is the only one nominated. If you would like to write me anything about the imaginary lives of these imaginary people, in the style of the pinterest comments, that's awesome. What's it like to be Quinoa's mother? One of Quinoa's friends? What does Quinoa do to handle being so precocious and avant garde? If you would like to write me something exploring the existential horror that underlies the whole concept of this collection of overly mature children suffering from ennui... that would also be awesome :D Feel free to go someplace very dark with this if it strikes your fancy - I think it has the potential to inspire something truly unsettling. |

| Measured_Words | The Death of the Necromancer - Martha Wells | Nicholas Valiarde, Arisilde Damal | I love this book - it remains my favourite of Wells's novels. I love the setting - Victorian gaslight fantasy - and I love that the protagonists are of ambiguous morals. I love that Nicholas is a devious schemer with his own agenda. I love that Arisilde ruined himself out of spite. I will re-state (and honestly) that if you have something different in mind for your story - go ahead and write that! But this is the one fandom that I do have actual specific desires for. I really want to see how Nicholas dealt with Arisilde not as he is in the book, but as he became more and more heavily addicted to opium. What was their relationship like before (and... slashiness is perfectly acceptable here, explicit or otherwise!), what stages did it go through... Did Arisilde regret what he was doing or have any second thoughts? Did Nicholas try and stop him? I admit that I can't remember exactly what the book says on the subject but I know that there is certainly room for further development of the theme! Feel free to go as dark as you want with this, delving into the darker side of addictions, frustration and difficulties of dealing with addicts, consent issues surrounding drug use, whatever, I'm game if you are! And if you are not, don't stress about it, I will happily read and enjoy lighter material as well :) If that doesn't float your boat, anything with the two of them will probably make me happy and while I tend to ship them, you don't have to. They're both brilliant, but their minds are very very different, and it is a fascinating relationship to me no matter how close you want to make it. And if you are a Madeline fan, I am also happy to see her with Nicholas, and in fact would rather not just see their relationship ignored or dismissed if you're dealing with that period in canon. |

| Measured_Words | The Witch's Son - auroaronkitten | I was really enchanted with this image when I first saw it linked, and I literally had dreams about requesting it last night, so obviously that means it was meant to be! -err, requested, at least, we will see about written! My semi-awake thoughts were quite focused on the relationship of the title to the piece - who is the witch's son, and why is he only known in relation to his mother (or parent, at least, if you don't see 'witch' as a necessarily gendered word). Is there something subsuming about that relationship? Is he the son of a particular witch, perhaps out of a particular folk story or fairy tale, and how does that influence his identity? The witch was not nominated, but obviously give a lot of context to the image, so if you want to poke around more with him/her, feel free! I was also considering the theme of transformation associated with witches - Circe turning men into pigs, for example, or the witch in Snow White turning herself into an old woman, generic witches turning people into toads - there are plenty of other examples. If you want to take that theme and run with it (along the lines of age/sex/gender/form, whatever) that would be awesome. There are lots of potential targets for transformation in the picture (or implied by it) other than the son or witch as well - the cat (who looks so proud of him!), the small creature he's bleeding, the creepy doll, or something on one of the shelves... As with the other requests I've seen, I just think there is so much potential packed into this image! |

| Medie | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), John Diggle (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV) | I'm pretty good with just about anything involving these three (3some, brot3 etc) so feel free to play. Modern day stuff, futurefic where they're dealing with the Justice League or some variation thereof, or just throw them in bed together for a day. It is all good. That said, omg, you don't HAVE to write all of them if you are not up to that. But more on that in the Yuletide letter, I swear. |
letter |
| Medie | Veritas: The Quest | Calvin Banks, Nikko Zond, Solomon Zond, Vincent Siminou | HA, I am unabashedly fond of genderchange (cis genderchange) and a cis!f!Nikko raising hell. I am similarly fond of Nikko/Cal in that version *AND* their slash form. I am also curious as hell to see where the future would have played out and gone interesting places with Nikko's powers, Cal and/or Solomon finding out Vincent was reporting on Nikko's progress to their benefactor, etc etc. I am also terribly terribly fond of Juliet and Maggie. Only reason they're not tagged is, well, 4 tags max right? |
letter |
| Medie | After Earth (2013) | Senshi Raige, Cypher Raige | God I would have loved this movie so much more if it were father and daughter trying to survive. Little bro can come too, but I really want a story where Senshi isn't fridged to angst up her father & brother's relationship. | letter |
| Medie | Now You See Me (2013) | Henley Reeves | Woe, Merritt isn't among the tags or I would have requested him as well (maybe even gone OT3 though my props if you can make Atlas less of an asshole or a more likeable one. Not that I didn't enjoy him) but really Henley was my favorite and I want to see her rise to prominence as an escape artist, her life after joining The Eye, and well, ANYTHING. She was the best. | letter |
| Medie | Indiana Jones Series | Henry "Indiana" Jones, Marion Ravenwood | I kind of love the idea of the Jones family entering American pop culture (IE the movies exist in Indy's world) and his grandchildren struggling under the name and their grandfather being an icon. Maybe even his granddaughter (possibly named Carolina?) trying to do the same job and chafing under the weight that is Indy's shadow. If that doesn't twig you then, really, again, I just love Indy/Marion. |
letter |
| Medie | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Mary Watson (Elementary) | I kind of love the idea of Joan meeting Mary and marrying Mary and the three of them just figuring out how this works and, possibly, Joan heaving many a sigh over the antics of her wife and BFF. And Clyde. Always Clyde. (Okay again, JOANFIC) |
letter |
| Megkips | Fate/Apocrypha | Saber of Red (Mordred), Shishigou Kairi | While there's a lot I love about Fate/apocrypha - a huge cast, Chiron, William Shakespeare being the ultimate troll, trying to understand Shirou Kotomine's hair, and so on - the thing I've come to love most is the relationship between Mordred and Kairi. They have a certain amount of respect for each other, they get exasperated with each other, but when there's danger they have an understanding. They're obviously and intentionally meant to be the opposite of Saber and Kiritsugu - and their desires for the grail confirm this fact: Mordred and Kairi are invested in being legitimate, in being a part of family, and getting what they want, rather than being idealists. What I'm most interested in is something that focuses on the light hearted aspect of their relationship. There is, after all, the journey from Mordred's summoning spot to Trifas, how she got her clothes, and of course their adventures in Trifas itself. Seeing them have more time together and bonding - especially before they meet up with Shirou Kotomine and the rest of the red team - would be amazing. |
letter |
| Megkips | Fate/Zero | Rider (Fate/Zero), Lancer (Fate/zero), Berserker (Fate/Zero), Saber (Fate/Stay Night) | Note: Not everyone listed has to be included for this prompt. Fate/, as a franchise, is at its strongest when it is combining the historical/mythical and putting it into the modern era. When it takes into consideration the character's background and has them influence decisions they make within canon, well, that is when it is the most interesting and the most rewarding for viewers who are familiar with the mythology. We only get glimpses of these moments in Fate/zero, which is an absolute shame, as there is a very rich background to draw from. Likewise, fic hasn't done much to explore these depths. I'm interested in seeing any of the servants listed and their past. Rider with Roxanne and Hephaestion. Lancer with his children by Grainne. Lancelot and Arturia, before everything fell apart. Caster when Jeanne was around. Assassin when he was just Hassan. These are all things that impact the characters and their decisions in canon. I'd love to see how. |
letter |
| Megkips | Bartimaeus - Jonathan Stroud | Kitty Jones, Bartimaeus (Bartimaeus), Nathaniel (Bartimaeus) | I have long loved the Bartimaeus trilogy for its solid world building, exploration of class politics with magic, and generally everything the series does. The ending, for me, is pitch perfect, and leaves open infinite possibilities of what happens next. This is more or less a prompt, asking for what happens after Nathaniel's death. Does anything change? What legacy does the government let him have? Is Kitty involved in the government ten, twenty, thirty years down the line? Who summons Bartimaeus next, and where? Answer some of these questions, answer all of them, maybe ask and answer some of your own. |
letter |
| Megkips | Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic | Scheherazade (Magi), Titus Alexius, Morgiana (Magi) | Note: Not everyone listed has to be included for this prompt. To me, Magi is the most interesting when it is either world building, or dealing with politics. It is the latter in particular that first attracted me to the series, and a reason why I've continued to stick around. I have, of course, also taken a huge shine to the sprawling world building - specifically in relation to Laem, which perhaps is unsurprising given the characters I've picked out here. There are two things I'm interested in seeing. The first is related to Scheherazade and Laem in general. I love the idea that Laem is what would happen if Remus founded Rome rather than Romulus, and I have long gotten the impression that Scheherazade's first king selection is an equivalent to Emperor Augustus/start of the empire portion of Laem's existence. Fic exploring this first relationship would be excellent, especially given the historical insanity that surrounded the Julio-Claudian dynasty of Rome. If that's not quite your game, I'd love to see how Scheherazade's plan to make individuals like Titus possible, and how some of their stories have played out over the years. If the Laem crowd doesn't ping you at all, I'd love to see something about Mor's training with Yunan. There's a lot of unexplored territory, and I'm curious as to what struggles she had to overcome in order to become even more awesome. |

| Megkips | Super Dangan Ronpa 2 | Nanami Chiaki | Danga Ronpa, for me, was enjoyable. Super Dangan Ronpa was as well. Both games are character driven, but I mostly stuck around because the mysteries were incredibly compelling and I wanted to see how everything would end. However, the reveal of Nanami's status as a mole for the Future Foundation, as well as the appearance of the original Dangan Ronpa cast at the end, truly caught my attention. The ethics of agreeing to run the events of SDR2, creating a mole, and all that goes into this decision fascinates me. Here, I'm most interested in the relationship between Nanami, her actions on Jabberwok Island, and any and all contact she had with the Future Foundation during the course of events that make up SDR2. Is there any discussion about the need for someone else to come in and change what's happening? Are she and Usami completely alone? Is there any behind the scenes debate among the original DR cast in relation to her? How long does it go on for? Heck, what's her development like? I'm so intrigued by the link that Nanami provides between DR and SDR2, and seeing it fleshed out would be amazing. |

| melannen | Humanx Commonwealth - Alan Dean Foster | Bran Tse-Mallory, Truzenzuzex | Anything about these two, who are my favorite in the series and don't turn up enough - backstory? more fighter pilot adventures? What being one mind in two bodies was like, and what it's like to not have that ever again? the court-martial, or the parting, or meeting again? The Church and why they left it? Family? Them doing SCIENCE? I'd love anything that goes into the two of them learning to navigate each others' worlds, and at least one of them always being the alien no matter where they are, and how they come to define home. And what *is* Personality Chess, anyway? If you want to attempt to figure out how to write them as a sexual relationship, go for it! But I understand if you'd rather just stick with their canon life partners relationship. | letter |
| melannen | Lucky Starr - Isaac Asimov | Hector Conway, Augustus Henree | ...more SF canon life partners of SCIENCE I'm not sorry. Them raising their kid together? Dealing with having been in David's shadow, and then suddenly losing him, first to Barbara, then forever? Falling in love? (Maybe? If you want to go there?) Combining their careers in the Council with parenting and a relationship? We know nothing about sexuality in this universe, tell me something, is two men raising a kid together common? rare? unheard of? An outsider POV on them maybe? Or their homefront POV on Lucky's shenanigans in Moons of Jupiter? Basically anything about Conway and Henree and who they are to each other. | letter |
| melannen | Arm Joe | I want something that makes this game make sense. Or sort of sense, at least. Give it a storyline. Why are these characters fighting in the street? Why do they have superpowers? Is this a universe where this is normal? Are they part of a secret underclass of superpowered people, fighting in the streets because they have to hide their powers in the day? Is it some kind of bizarre afterlife? Why do they have the powers they do? How did Cosette end up a fighter? What's Eponine's relationship with her parents in this universe? Where did Robojean come from, anyway? How can Marius summon his dead friends when Enjolras is still fighting? How does everyone having bizarre powers change things? Or you could just write road trip fic with everyone that also works. | letter | |
| melannen | Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage | These people fascinate me as characters - Lovelace's backstory (and her relationship with Somerville, in this world), Babbage and his... Babbage-ness, Brunel and how he is better than you at everything. I also love the way the canon is so tied in with the actual awesome history of the time - it takes real tech and science and history and turns it up to 11, instead of making things up out of whole cloth - so if you want to pull some neat period info up and make it superpowered and turn it into a story, that would be yay! If the history intimidates you, though, just Lovelace being Lovelace is also good. Or an AU in a different setting. Footnotes of any kind are good. And kittens. And crossovers. | letter | |
| melannen | Otzi the Iceman RPF | Ötzi (RPF) | I feel like Otzi doesn't *need* a prompt, because Otzi's *existence* is a prompt. Just read about what we've learned about him, and his last few days of life, and then turn it into a story for me? I feel like there are a lot of possible stories here, and I want to read all of them. But the just one you decide to write me will be a good start! | letter |
| melannen | Paleontology RPF | The nominated characters here basically sort into two pairs, so - if you would like to write me Drinker/Cope, I would like epic hateship. Fighting turning into sex among the bones. You know the sort of thing. If you don't want to write sex that is also okay - write me about their relationship, about how it changed over the decades, about how they felt about each other and their very public feud in the dark mornings at 2AM? If you go for the ladies - really anything! Mary Anning is fascinating and so is her mentor; I would love something about them dealing with the male establishment paleontologists they worked with, or Anning negotiating class differences with Philpot helping, or Philpot's perspective on the younger woman, or just them and SCIENCE! with the exclamation point.) Femslash would be lovely if you want to. And if you can figure out a way to get all four of them in a story together, that would be astounding! | letter | |
| melissima | Revenge (TV) | Nolan Ross | Fic featuring Nolan as a bisexual human would be lovely - being attracted to people of male and female genders, having a threesome m/m/f or m/f/f, or even open up the assumed TV binary and bring genderqueer or transgendered people into the universe. (If you do this, be sure to do it sensitively. Stereotypes are not really completely avoidable, but reveling in them is not my thing.) | letter |
| melissima | Sunshine - Robin McKinley | Mel (Sunshine) | I adore Mel! Dig into his mysterious past, or take him into the future. Show a moment when he and Sunshine find themselves engaged with magic, or engaged with some mundane project together that might just be slightly not-mundane | letter |
| melissima | Struck by Lightning (2012) | Malerie Baggs, Carson Phillips | I love Malerie so hard. I'd love to have her offbeat point of view on a scene from the movie, or better yet something we don't really get to see (if you're into angst, feel free to show how she hears about Carson's death, and what her aftermath is like.) If you're not feeling Malerie, I also adore Carson, especially I'd love to see how Carson finds life after death. Interpret that how you will, with two major exceptions: please don't give me a Western Christian afterlife heaven/hell. Either of those concepts is open to a creative or twisted re-envisioning, but bonus points for something completely different! |
letter |
| melissima | The Unit | Mack Gerhardt | This fandom is all about the freckled soldier for me. He's flawed, he's gruff, but he learned a lot throughout the life of the series. Feel free to explore Mack's past or his future, even his present with a missing scene, all I ask is that I get to spend some time with him again! Please don't kill him off (at least not permanently. I do love hurt/comfort!) | letter |
| melissima | Grimm (TV) | Anything in this Universe is great, but I especially would love to see something about Aunt Marie and Kelly (Nick's mom) when they were younger. I adore the idea of a badass librarian so much, but more for the librarian side than the badass side. The worldbuilding for this show absolutely rocks my world, so the more of that the better. (I adore the Melifer vessen, (the bee thing) but any mythology/vessen you choose to explore will make me happy. | ||
| melliyna | The Tudors | Anne Boleyn (The Tudors), Henry VIII of England (The Tudors), Thomas Cromwell (The Tudors), Charles Brandom (The Tudors) | I am a big big giant Anne fan (I don't see her as an ambitious scheming b__) but I love all the wives (especially Jane). Stories in which Anne gets to live? GREAT. Stories in which Henry gets shown up because arse? EXTRA GREAT. I love love AUs of all kinds here. | letter |
| melliyna | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | I am a fan of Abbie and Ichabod being BFFs! I am a fan of them cuddling and Ichabod being a gentleman and quoting poetry and the issues of time travelling in general and in short ABBIE AND ICHABOD PLZ. | letter |
| melliyna | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Phryne Fisher, Jack Robinson, Camellia Lin, Lin Chung | I'd love an OT4 (Jack gets to be domestic with the babies and chat with Camellia about orchids and stuff and they have COMPETENCE and grin over Phryne's Pretty Men), I'd love Jack In Peril, I'd love Phryne being Phryne and I'd love banter. | letter |
| melliyna | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Tobias Gregson, Mary Watson (Elementary) | I'd love Joan-Gregson bonding opportunities! I love Sherlock-Joan BFFness case solving (if you can throw in a Three Garridebs scenario I would be So Happy I cannot even). I'd love Joan/Mary very very much. | letter |
| melliyna | Drina Series - Jean Estoril | Drina Adams | Okay as a former ballet dance I'd honestly love anything written about this series (I have lost the books sadly) but I'd love to see a slice of Drina dancing early on. | letter |
| melliyna | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Locke Lamora, Jean Tannen, Zamira Drakasha | I'd love the 'pirates and the thieves' OT4. I WOULD INDEED. Basically, it would make my SOUL. Because EZRI AND ZAMIRA. | letter |
| melmillo | Borderlands | Lilith (Borderlands), Maya (Borderlands) | One of my favorite things about Borderlands is the concept of the Sirens, and I love both Lilith and Maya, so I'd love a fic that focuses on either or both of them and touches on their powers in some way, or on what it's like to be a Siren. | letter |
| melmillo | Sleepy Hollow (1999) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (1999)), Katrina Van Tassel (Sleepy Hollow (1999)) | Yes, I'm being weird and requesting the *other* Sleepy Hollow. :D I like the show, but it re-awoke my love for the movie, and its deliberate gothicness, and the sweetness of the Ichabod/Katrina relationship. There are all kinds of fics you could write (casefic, or an exploration of their lives post-movie, or something set during the movie), but no matter what, I'd like for the two of them to have a couple of moments of being cute and in love. | letter |
| melmillo | Shimotsuma Monogatari | Kamikaze Girls (2004) | Shirayuri Ichigo, Ryuugasaki Momoko | The friendship between the girls is basically the best thing ever, so I'd love any kind of fic with that as a central focus. All the various versions of the story leave plenty of room to play around with post-canon events in their lives, or to explore events during the story from another point of view. Gen or femslash is fine! | letter |
| melmillo | Aeon Flux (Cartoon) | Aeon Flux, Trevor Goodchild | ...I think I'm just going to have to point you to the letter on this one, because I'm not sure there's room in the form for all my babbling. | letter |
| Meltha | It's a Wonderful Life (1946) | Violet Bick, Clarence Oddbody, Henry F. Potter | Violet always sort of interested me in the movie. She seemed to have her own storyline going on that didn't really get fully explored. Maybe she needs an angel of her own? And Old Man Potter... I always wondered what was going on in that guy's head. Is he completely rotten, or is there something else there? And what ever becomes of that "missing" money? | letter |
| Meltha | The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern | Tsukiko (The Night Circus), Isobel Martin | I actually quite liked Isobel. Plus Tsukiko's a really intriguing character. I'm curious about what goes on in their brains, either during Isobel's days with the circus or afterwards. | letter |
| Meltha | In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins | Speaker (In the Air Tonight), Liar (In the Air Tonight) | I have absolutely no idea what is going on in this song, but I'd really like to find out. Apparently, so would Phil Collins, who also has no idea what it's about either. | letter |
| Meltha | Becket (1964) | Thomas Becket (Becket), King Henry II (Becket) | If it's not canon slash, it's really, really close. I'd be curious to see about anything with this pair, though I'd prefer nothing too graphic or straight out blasphemous. | letter |
| Meltha | Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) | Yukon Cornelius (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) | I'd be happy to see old Yukon playing with any or all of his old buddies. Did he ever find his silver and gold? | letter |

(Or non-sexy fun! Whatever kind of fun you like!) I am completely enchanted by this video and how playful it is; I love that the women are aggressive without violence and are confident in their sex appeal. I love that the men all play up their sexiness in different ways and seem genuinely delighted to be there, being sexy. Tell me a story about them! It could be about a full-on orgy or it could be about the Sexy Boys doing an eye makeup tutorial or anywhere in between on the sexiness scale and I promise I would adore it. | letter |
| meretricula | North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV | Margaret Hale, John Thornton | THAT WAS NOT AN ENDING. Please give me a more emotionally fulfilling one? I just want a little more of John and Margaret doing whatever you feel like writing them doing! Wedding planning! Capitalism! Social justice! Sexy sexy honeymoon! I leave the details in your capable hands. | letter |
| meretricula | Some Girls (BBC) | Viva Bennett, Saz Kaur, Holli Vavasour, Amber Dean | I adore Some Girls and would love to get a story with madcap shenanigans like the show. I love the girls' friendship and how important it is to them all, so please include that, and I'd like to see at least a bit of each of the girls, but if you want to focus on just two of them that's totally fine! If you wanted to go to a femslashy place with this, I might expire of joy. I also love friendship fic, so really, you can't go wrong! | letter |
| meretricula | Tennis RPF | Martina Navratilova (Tennis RPF), Chris Evert (Tennis RPF) | Chrissie and Martina love each other sooooooo muuuuuuch you guys it's the best!

| meretricula | The Outlaws of Sherwood - Robin McKinley | Cecil | Cecily of Norwell, Little John (The Outlaws of Sherwood) | I love Cecily so much sometimes I want to claw my face off GOD SHE'S THE BEST and her relationship with Little John is my favorite part of the book except for how there is NOT ENOUGH OF IT so that's where you come in, dear author! I would like some Cecily/Little John. Cecily and Little John on the Crusades? Cecily and Little John get married? Cecily somehow inherits Norwell and Little John has to live in a castle and deal with being a lord? Cecily and Little John try to bake bread and set the house on fire, seriously, whatever you want to write is cool so long as I get some shippy goodness in there. (If you'd rather write pre-relationship fic or are interested in queer themes, I personally found Little John's admission to a gay crisis over how attractive he found "Cecil" to be pretty intriguing... go with that where you will.) | letter |

| meroure | Les chansons d'amour | Love Songs (2008) | Anything written for this movie would be lovely! I'd love a fic that explores the characters pre or post film. For instance: How did Julie and Ismaël get together? How was Alice recruited to join them? What happens to the relationship between Erwann and Ismaël after the film ends? Do Alice and Jasmine foster a friendship or something more? Whatever happens to Gwendal? Please see my journal for a dear author letter and details on personal preferences! |

| meroure | Mairelon the Magician - Patricia Wrede | Andrew Merrill, Renee D'Auber | Whether is it romance or friendship, I'd love a storyline exploring the relationship between Andrew and Renee. Were they friends, acquaintances, etc. before Richard/Mairelon was accused? What happened when Renee visited Andrew to tell him Richard/Mairelon was in trouble? Additional characters and aspects from Wrede's 'Magician's Ward' can be brought in as well, as long as the central characters remain Renee or Andrew. Please see my journal for a dear author letter and details on personal preferences! |
letter |
| meroure | Drive Me Crazy | This was one of my favourite 90s teen films, and there's a sad lack of fic for it. I don't mind angst, so something exploring the backstory and dying friendship between a pre-teen Chase and Nicole would be welcome. Character exploration of Dee or Dave gaining confidence and growing into themselves would also be amazing. Please see my journal for a dear author letter and details on personal preferences! |

| meroure | London Museums (Anthropomorfic) | Honestly, I just want to read about anthropomorphic museums in a non-crack/comical way. They could be university students or professionals; the contents in each informing their personalities and relationships.

| merriman | Local Hero (1983) | "Mac" MacIntyre | o what if Mac was drunk when he said he could be an excellent Gordon? I've always felt bad that Mac got shuffled off back to Texas at the end. I'd love to see him return to Scotland, whether it's with the Urquharts or no. | letter |
| merriman | Invitation to the Game - Monica Hughes | Philip (Invitation to the Game), Jon (Invitation to the Game) | I adore this book but always felt like there was so much potential for more story with it. I know we never actually meet Philip or Jon, not enough to gauge their characters, but I was hoping for something about their group. How did they form up after school? How did they first encounter the Game? Did they graduate the same year as Lisse's group? If not, how long had they been playing? We see that their clothing is different, that they carry waybread with berries. What part of Prize did they explore first? Or pick up where the book leaves off, with the two groups forming a community and having so much in store for them in their new home. | letter |
| merriman | The Norman Conquests (Movies) | Norman (The Norman Conquests), Tom (The Norman Conquests), Annie (The Norman Conquests) | Another weekend, another disaster? Norman gets himself into such trouble, offering weekends with every lady he can get to. But then Tom does mention that he thinks he, Norman and Annie could have a great time together. Oh, Tom. They don't necessarily even have to go off to East Grinstead together. Why, they could go camping! | letter |
| merriman | The Box of Delights (1984) | Maria Jones (Box of Delights) | Anything about Maria. Please. She's been expelled from several schools. Headmistresses swoon when they hear her name. She's generally got at least one pistol on her at all times. She faced down Abner Brown and Sylvia Daisy Pouncer and they let her go. Maria's exploits before or after the story would be fantastic. How did she get expelled? Ignoring the cop-out ending, what does Maria go on to do later now she's seen true villains and magic at work? | letter |

| mestizaa | Dollhouse | Adelle DeWitt | Please no Dewitt/Dominic fic. There (weirdly) seems to be an abundance of that already. Maybe write about Dewitt's crisis of faith towards the mid-end of season 2? |
|
| mestizaa | Brave (2012) | Elinor (Brave), Fergus (Brave) | "I understand this must all seem unfair, even I have reservations when I faced betrothal." Elinor and Fergus at the beginning. | |

| metaphasia | Nearlyweds | Erin (Nearlyweds), Stella (Nearlyweds), Casey (Nearlyweds) | I love the interactions between the three women, and the fact that while most movies end with the characters getting married, this movie begins with it and is about making a relationship work. And while I really like the canon relationships between the women and their husbands (well, not Mark, but the others), I also would not have minded if the movie ended with the montage of the three of them living together, and if you want to write them as polyamorous lesbians instead of best friends forever, I would love that as well. | letter |
| metaphasia | Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989) | Amy Szalinski | I have always had a soft spot for people in over their heads, and Amy is one of those characters. The way that Amy takes charge, both in the events of their adventure in the backyard and in the house at the beginning of the movie, when her mom left temporarily showcase that. I also love her relationships with the other characters, the way she is capable of being both competent and responsible when necessary while also being a teenager. And of course, nothing says Yuletide more than giant 80s lasers. Any sort of wacky hijinks involving crazy Szalinski inventions would be amazing. | letter |
| metaphasia | Battleground | Lindsey Cutter, Ali Laurents | I wasn't sure who I was going to ask for in this fandom all the way up until now. I like watching all the characters in this show, even the ones I don't like as people, but I wound up deciding on Ali and Lindsay because they are two of the characters that I would have liked to see more of in the show. I think this show is one of those that makes for both great character and case based fiction. If you're looking for plot ideas, it would be awesome to see any sort of adventures from other campaigns, or what happens after they actually win and dealing with Washington. | letter |
| metaphasia | Drive Me Crazy | Nicole Maris, Chase Hammond | The relationship between these two characters is one of my favorites. They act like partners, work together, are honest with each other and their feelings, instead of the traditional romantic comedy trope of hiding things until it blows up in their faces. I'd love to see future fic about them making their relationship work after the movie, or about their relationship with their parents and friends. | letter |
| metaphoracle | Everwood | Ephram Brown, Bright Abbott | Everwood is one of my ALWAYS fandoms. It was where I fell in love with Gregory Smith (who nobody remembers) and Chris Pratt (who now everybody knows thanks to Parks and Rec). And Ephram/Bright is one of my FOREVER pairings. I'm a little bummed that Reid and Colin Hart weren't listed under the tags...I'm guessing that whoever nominated Everwood this year just forgot about them, but I never will. So, what do I want in a Bright/Ephram story? If you're uncomfortable with slash, then I am fine with a friendship story, because their friendship is adorkable and awesome. I generally expect some obliviousness on the part of Bright, snarkiness on the part of Ephram, and an incredible amount of awesome. I'm not picky about them actually being together, or if they're technically with their girlfriends (at any point of the series). But I will say--while Amy is a large part of their relationship, Amy was never really a character I liked, and so I'm biased towards stories that deal with Ephram and Amy when they were just friends. |
letter |
| metaphoracle | In the Flesh (TV) | Kieren Walker, Rick Macy | Okay, I fell so fucking hard in love with this miniseries and the homoerotic love story at its center. Like, it just amazes me that fandom did not explode with glorious gay zombie love after this aired, but I guess it just hasn't been seen by too many people. If you haven't seen it, you should. It's only 3 episodes (though it's been picked up for a second season) and it's just utterly amazing. So what do I want? I requested Kieran and Rick because they're the characters at the center of this gay love story, but because of the narrative constraints, I'm not actually demanding a slash story. Because I'm not sure that'd even be possible. I would love a character piece, even if it's just character musings, and without being too spoilery in case you haven't seen it and want to, I'd love something that deals with their pre-series relationship, whether that be slashy or just friendship or whatever. The In The Flesh world is pretty amazing, though, and if you wanted to do something more plotty or political and dealing with the other characters, that's totally cool too! |
letter |
| metaphoracle | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Thomas Raith | Dresden Files is another one of my "always request" requests, with Harry and Thomas being two of my "always request" characters. I first got into reading the Dresden Files thanks to a roommate five or six years ago, and it continues to be one of my favorite urban fantasy settings. Harry and Thomas are my favorite characters, and I will never not request them. Harry and Thomas are brothers. Period. And while it's pretty fucking obvious that Harry thinks Thomas is the hottest dude he's ever seen based on the way he (textually) objectifies the Fae, there are very few situations in which I can see them together in a sexual relationship. Fuck or die being one of them. So, hey. If you want to do that? Go for it. But I am also totally cool with character pieces or non-plotty domestic scenes with them being brothers. Because they never got to be brothers growing up, but they can be brothers now, and I love that they try to make up for lost time. |
letter |
| metaphoracle | The Losers (2010) | Jake Jensen, Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez | OMG where do I begin with The Losers? It was the film that made everyone realize that Chris Evans could act, and I love it for that. But it also has one of the most racially and ethnically diverse casts and I fucking love all of them. They're ALL sexy as fuck and amazing. I requested Cougar and Jensen and Clay because they're my favorites, but really, they're all amazing complex characters. Also, a confession: I own the comic, but I've never read it. So yeah. No pressure to include the comic if you haven't read it either. I really wouldn't mind some straight up Cougar/Jensen porn, but I understand that people of all walks of life offer for fandoms, and if that's not your thing, then I say to you: go wild! Gimme plot and action! Show me pre-movie team building or post-movie awesomeness! Give me backstory and angst or comedy and adorableness! And feel free to include Pooch or Roque or Aisha as well. |
letter |
| metonymy | Spiritwalker Trilogy - Kate Elliott | Andevai Diarisso Haranwy, Catherine Bell Barahal, Beatrice Hassi Barahal | I love this series sooooo much and would be thrilled with pretty much anything - pre-series slice-of-life for Cat and Bee, post-series happily-ever-after for all three, Andevai's perspective through Cold Fire as he hunts for Cat. Any of the worldbuilding stuff you want to include would be amazing as well, as I love the rich scope and depth of this alternate history! | letter |
| metonymy | Stardust (2007) | Yvaine (Stardust), Tristan Thorn | What happened in the 70 or so years between the coronation and Tristan and Yvaine's ascension to the heavens? Adventures? Misadventures running a kingdom? Adjusting to having a mother and a whole family? I do love the part of the original book where they just take off for long stretches of time to go be awesome, so feel free to use that for inspiration, but if you'd rather write quieter moments that's fine too - I just want to see more of these two together. | letter |
| metonymy | The Middleman (TV) | Wendy Watson, Lacey Thornfield, The Middleman, Tyler Ford | I would love to see further adventures of Wendy and The Middleman. I would love a script complete with chyrons. I would love to see Wendy and Tyler being awkward and slightly nerdy and in love. I would love to see Wendy and Lacey's art school days. (I would not at all mind Wendy and Lacey smooching, even though I do love Tyler.) Just keep to the goofy and earnest tone of the series and I will be super pleased. | letter |
| metonymy | The Hour | Bel Rowley, Lix Storm, Marnie Madden | I would love basically any character piece on any of these three, at any point in time. (I am also totally happy with appearances from the rest of the cast as appropriate.) I love Bel's determination and want to see more of where that came from. I love everything about Lix and want to know how she became this pioneer in a very conflicted place and time. I love Marnie and her weaponised femininity and want to learn about how she grew up learning to hide steel under her fluttering eyelashes and angora sweaters. LADIES. SO GREAT. | letter |
| metonymy | Orphan Black (TV) | Alison Hendrix, Cosima Niehaus, Felix Dawkins, Sarah Manning | First of all, I love basically everybody in this fandom except Vic, so feel free to throw others in. I love the world of this show and the twisty relationships all the characters have; I love how there are moments of genuine humor and warmth even though it's an incredibly dark story. I would love to see stuff on how the clones became who they are today (nature versus nurture! wheeee), Felix and Sarah as bickering siblings, Felix and Alison as bickering best friends... almost anything, really. | letter |
| Miaou Jones (miaoujones) | Ao no Exorcist | Blue Exorcist | Okumura Rin, Okumura Yukio | My general likes and dislikes are here: http://miaoujones.dreamwidth.org/48581.html Okumuracest. That's pretty much my optional detail for this one! orz (Specifics, including kinks, are listed at the post linked above.) If you don't want to go sexual with it, I'm in love with the bond between them. Yukio pushes my buttons like crazy, especially with his devotion and dedication to his brother. (Not that Rin is any less devoted, in his own way; it's just the way Yukio's manifests in the anime that *gets* to me.) Something drawing on or inspired by that would be very welcome. I'd also be super happy with a story about them as little kids. As warm and fluffy or complicated and fraught as you'd like to make it. For the moment, I'm anime-only (including the movie) in this fandom--but I have every intention of catching up with the manga, so feel free to incorporate any canon you like. Whatever you do with these two, I know I'll like it. Thank you! |
letter |
| Miaou Jones (miaoujones) | Chihayafuru | Ayase Chihaya, Mashima Taichi, Wataya Arata, Wakamiya Shinobu | My general likes and dislikes are here: http://miaoujones.dreamwidth.org/48581.html I love all four of these characters so freaking much. I don't know if I'd go so far as to call them OT4--but I certainly wouldn't say no to a foursome relationship! I also like them in pairs any way you want to split them up, as long as all four of them are still involved (that is, I'm happy with Chihaya/Taichi + Arata/Shinobu; Chihaya/Shinobu + Arata/Taichi; and even Chihaya/Arata + Shinobu/Taichi, if there's any way to make Shinobu and Taichi work as a couple...). If you're not up for all four of them, I would also be happy with Chihaya, Taichi, and Arata, who *are* my OT3 (unless you count the fact that I ship Shinobu with them against me). I like them best when all three of them are equally involved, whatever the nature of their relationship. That is, I'm not very keen on a third wheel scenario or on a love triangle (even though the love triangle is canon; I keep hoping there's a way to go threesome...). If you're not feeling shippy, I'm also really happy with the friendship between them (including Shinobu; or not including her, if you prefer). I love the competitive spirit they share and how it brings them closer even when they're going up against each other, the way they all inspire each other regardless of physical distance or how often they see each other. For whatever it's worth, Taichi is my absolute favorite. As long as he's happy, I'm happy. :D Finally, if there's a way to incorporate karuta, whether it's a match or references to one of the poems, that would be beautiful--but only if it feels organic to you. For the moment, I'm anime-only in this fandom--but I have every intention of catching up with the manga, so feel free to incorporate any canon you like. Thank you! |
letter |
| Miaou Jones (miaoujones) | Free! | Tachibana Makoto | My general likes and dislikes are here: http://miaoujones.dreamwidth.org/48581.html I only requested Makoto and I'll be completely satisfied with a story that focuses on him alone, with his goldfish, or something gen with any of his family members or the old fisherman. I really love him in his orca form, if you feel like going AU (with or without the other boys in their hybrid forms). ♥ I also ship him with nearly everyone. Of the nominated/eligible characters, here are the ones I'm most interested in seeing him with (human or hybrid forms): Haru/Makoto/Rin Makoto/Rin/Seijuuro Haru/Makoto Makoto/Rei Makoto/Rin Makoto/Seijuuro Characters are listed alphabetically rather than in top/bottom order. I have a preference for bottom!Makoto but if you don't see it that way, I'm happy for any sexy tiems. (Specific likes, sexual and otherwise, are at the link above.) If that doesn't float your boat, I'd be seriously happy with a fic that focuses on Makoto's friendship with any of the other characters (singly or in combination), since that's so much of what Free! is about. :D I'm familiar with the anime and the drama CDs, so all canon is fair game. Feel *free* to do as you like with this one. Thank you! |
letter |
| Miaou Jones (miaoujones) | K (Anime) | Suoh Mikoto, Munakata Reishi | My general likes and dislikes are here: http://miaoujones.dreamwidth.org/48581.html I came to K Project only recently and was instantly smitten with these two (and *crushed* by the final episode...). I deeply admire both of them, as men and as kings. I'm intrigued by the complications, complexities, and intricacies of their relationship, and all the lost possibilities of what might have been if they weren't both kings or if the world were otherwise. Something exploring that, maybe an alternate timeline or even an outright alternate universe, would be most welcome. Or a crazy-hot sexual encounter, possibly a night of kink, would work just as well! If you go this way, I would prefer that it not be framed as hate sex. (Specific kinks I'm into are at the link above.) I haven't read the manga yet so I am hoping for something set in or splitting off from anime-canon. If none of this strikes your fancy, please follow your conscience. I'm sure I'll like the result, if you do. Thank you! |
letter |
| Miaou Jones (miaoujones) | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | Natsume Takashi, Tanuma Kaname | My general likes and dislikes are here: http://miaoujones.dreamwidth.org/48581.html Natsume Yuujinchou is one of the most compassionate and quietly compelling anime series I've ever had the pleasure of watching; that description also fits both Natsume and Tanume. I heart these two so much, whether as "just friends" or boyfriends (or something in between and not easily defined). Something exploring their relationship, whatever the nature of it is, would be loved. Or even just the two of them spending some time together, being themselves with each other... This is another one where I'm anime-only in the fandom, so I would greatly appreciate an anime-canon timeline. An alternate reality/alternate timeline, splitting off from the anime and going into a different future, would also work. And there's always the AU option, of course. If this doesn't spark you, please feel free to follow your heart. I'm sure I'll like whatever you come up with. Thank you! |

| midnightjuly (roadmarks) | 15 Ways to Stay Alive - Daphne Gottlieb (poem) | This poem is so raw and gorgeous, and I'd love to see something that fleshes it out. Who is the narrator? Who are they giving this advice to? Who's the 'her' from number 15? I realize that I'm basically asking for original fiction here -- if you'd rather write a crossover/fusion/something of that nature, that's totally fine, just please confirm I know the other fandom first. Other ideas -- focusing on the wolves, maybe? As metaphorically or literally as you want. I'm always a sucker for a new take on the Little Red Riding Hood story, or for urban fantasy featuring werewolves, or... pretty much anything wolfy, honestly (that doesn't involve wolves/humans in porny situations, it's really not my thing). (more info -- if you want it! -- in my letter) |

| midnightjuly (roadmarks) | Fast and the Furious Series | Gisele Harabo, Han Lue | I'd love fix-it fic after Fast 6/Tokyo Drift -- Gisele and Han are both alive, somehow, and back to kick ass and avenge each other's deaths. How are they alive? I'm not exaggerating when I say that I'm willing to take any and all explanations, no matter how outlandish: both of them are secretly immortal? Awesome! Dom drives so fast he rips a hole in the time-space continuum, goes into the past, and rescues them? Excellent! Han was secretly an android all along and Tej rebuilds him? Sure! Gisele landed safely on her feet after the fall, but had to walk back along that impossibly long runway and it took her so long everyone assumed she was dead? Why the hell not! :D (more info -- if you want it! -- in my letter) |

| milleniumrex | Batgirl (Comics) | Cassandra Cain (Batgirl), Stephanie Brown (Batgirl) | Fluffy adorable Batgirlfriends, please. I miss these two so much. Femslash or gen is fine. Hurt/comfort is wonderful - especially if it involves Cass!whump. | |
| milleniumrex | Hawkeye (Comics) | Kate Bishop (Hawkeye), Lucky (Hawkeye) | The solo adventures of Kate Bishop, part-time superhero. I love her bravery, her stubbornness, and her general kick-ass attitude. Also, she has the best dog.

Any genre is fine, although I prefer a decent amount of humor worked in. | |
| milleniumrex | Ultimate Comics Spider-Man | Jessica Drew (Ultimates), Mary Jane Watson (Ultimates), Clone Gwen Stacy (Ultimateverse), May Parker (Ultimates) | First request - please throw the "Jessica has lost her memories of being Peter" under the bus as hard as you can. I'm fascinated by the idea of her having the memories and personality, if a bit different, of the dead boy that May, Gwen, and MJ loved. I would love a story about Jessica finally coming clean to May about who she is and finding a real home. Gen is perfectly fine, but if you want to have Jessica pursue a relationship with either Gwen or MJ, I would love that too. | |

We saw how hard it was for her in the movie to stop being Hit-Girl - what does she do when she has no choice? Does she find another way to be a hero? How do Dave and Marcus help her deal? I prefer Gen when it comes to Dave and Mindy - I see them more as siblings - but I prefer Mindy being the age she was in the movie, not the comic. | |

| Minerva McTabby (McTabby) | The White Queen (TV) | Anne Neville Queen of England (The White Queen) | Anne Neville. Yeah. Seriously, WTF is it with this character? I can't decide if they didn't do enough with her, or tried to do too much, but it's like things fell apart somewhere and the centre couldn't hold. This Anne was all over the place. I found myself shipping her with The Bad Queen, wishing they'd give her better clothes, hoping in vain for more Richard/Anne backstory (yes, I'm a fan of The Sunne in Splendour), staring incredulously as they sorta kinda almost blamed her for the Princes in the Tower, and eventually wondering what the point of it all could possibly be.

| minor_ramblings | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | Tybalt (Toby Daye), Quentin (Toby Daye), The Luidaeg (Toby Daye), Raj (Toby Daye) | The beauty and the flaw of first person protagonist stories is that we get all of their introspective thoughts, and little about what's up inside the heads of the others. (Outside of short stories, at least!) I'd love to read something set in first person for one of these guys. It can be angsty, it can be sweet, it can be action, adventure, amusement, a missing moment, an alternate POV or anything that catches your fancy, I'd just love to hear someone else's view on things. I'm up to date on the series, so no worries about spoilers here! |
letter |
| minor_ramblings | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Molly Carpenter, John Marcone, Mouse (Dresden Files - Butcher) | o, dat Cold Days. A whole lot of things happened, or happened as a result of the plot, and given that we're in Harry's POV, a lot of them happened off camera. I would like a missing moment sort of fic that covers one of them. | letter |
| minor_ramblings | Sharing Knife - Lois McMaster Bujold | Arkady Waterbirch, Berry Clearcreek, Sumac Redwing, Mari Redwing | I'd like a story from another viewpoint other than Dag or Fawn's. It can be pre-canon, post-canon or a missing moment along the way, but basically I'd like to see the Wide Green World from another angle. I love the series best for the politics and societal changes and the intersection of old Lakewalker magic and evolving Farmer technology more than the romance (although romance is cool too). | letter |
| minor_ramblings | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Jemma Simmons, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | We've got a cast that's half ladies, all awesome in their own ways! After IM3 managed it with Pepper and Maya, I'd really like to see this show pass the Bechdel Test. So, whether or not the show writers listen to me, give me a fic with two (or more) named women having a conversation with each other that isn't about a man. If that's hard to pull off given the ensemble nature, I don't need the strictest possible interpretation of the Test, I'd just like to see them being awesome without having to drag romance or the guys' opinions into things. (Unless there's femslash, that would be OK too) |

| MiraMira | The Magicians - Lev Grossman | Julia (The Magicians) Alice (The Magicians) | Fix-it fic would make me very, very happy here. Maybe Julia gets into Brakebills instead of Quentin, or maybe Alice decides to go off and do her own thing post-graduation. Just something that gives them a chance at something better than they get in canon. Gen, femslash, or OC love interest(s): as long as it doesn't involve Quentin as more than an ex, makes no difference to me. | letter |
| MiraMira | Batman Beyond | Dana Tan (Batman Beyond), Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond) | I know it's not the most Bechdel-friendly prompt, but I'd like a story set after Dana finds out the details of Terry's work for Mr. Wayne, and how she comes to terms (or has learned to deal) with that. (I like Max, too, so no jealous rivalries, please.) | letter |
| MiraMira | Kraken - China Mieville | Kath Collingswood | Kath running her own FSRC cell or striking out on her own professionally would be delightful, though I'll just as gladly take a story about the early days of her exploring her abilities. | letter |
| MiraMira | Cats of Grand Central - Diane Duane | Rhiow | omething light, humorous, and ideally New York-centric. Other than that, I swear I will love you just for choosing this fandom. | letter |
| MiraMira | The Long Earth Series - Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter | Sister Agnes (The Long Earth) | Again, the only guidance I have to offer beyond a squee here is funny and fun - though I admit it would be particularly fun to watch Agnes take the wind out of someone's sails somehow, whether that's Lobsang or a particularly pompous Church official. (Alternatively, given that it's Pratchett, a Good Omens or Discworld crossover would not go amiss.) | letter |
| MiraMira | Cyteen Series - C. J. Cherryh | Grant ALX-972 (Cyteen) | In a lot of ways, I think Grant is perhaps the most well-adjusted, human character in the Cyteen series. I'm curious if that thought ever crosses his mind, too. Feel free to explore his relationships with other characters (including Justin, obviously) in the process. | letter |
| Miranda | Prince of Atlantis | Akata (Prince of Atlantis), Dorothy (Prince of Atlantis) | I was sad to see Akata leave in the end, it would be nice if he could get to meet the others again when he is an adult. My ship goggles might have also made me see Akata/Dorothy, if you are inclined to go that way, please age him up. Dorothy is a scientist, Joris is a scientist suddenly part time Atlanter, more scientific prodding into what he now can and can't do, is fine as well. Or both of them dealing with Akata's stubbornness of seeing how the air breathing side lives. | letter |
| Miranda | Thundercats (2011) | Leo (Thundercats 2011), Panthera (Thundercats 2011) | My favorites in the new Thundercats series are Leo and Panthera. I like Leo's hair and Panthera looks so strong. There's such an uncommon size difference between them, I find that intriguing. It would be interesting to see how they met or how they survived the crash or what their everyday lives are like on the ship or how they got the other stones. | letter |
| Miranda | Captain Planet and the Planeteers | Captain Planet, Gaia (Captain Planet) | Captain Planet is so blue an sparkly and awesome with his powers of nature. And Gaia is such a gentle person. I was always saddened that we didn't get so see more of them and their history together. Or it could be interesting to see Gaia off the island and Captain Planet out a bit longer. She usually had to stay at her island and he only got to be around for crisises | letter |
| Miranda | Battlestar Galactica (1978) | Lt. Dillon (BSG 78), Troy (BSG 78), Jamie Hamilton (BSG 78) | I love the flying bikes, and of course outgoing and adventurous Dillon, reserved and cautious Troy, and their willing/unwilling Earth liaison Jamie. It would be interesting to maybe see the two "aliens” stumble into an alien show on Jamie's TV broadcaster and Jamie having to navigate them around without anybody getting too curious about the two too in-character "actors”. Or maybe Jamie suddenly faced with Dillon and Troy bringing a bunch of excited and curious scientist to Earth and expect her to stash them somewhere. | letter |
| Miranda | Earth: Final Conflict | Da'an, William Boone | Da'an and Boone where always so great together. Da'an who was willing to work together with humanity and teach them. Boone who despite everything that happened wanted for both species to coexist equally. It would be interesting to see whether Da'an really knows that Boone's CVI isn't working as intend? Or maybe some bonding after the kidnapping when Boone calls Da'an back from the brink of death. | letter |
| Miranda | Space Rangers (TV) | Chennault (Space Rangers), Zylyn (Space Rangers) | Zylyn was always so dark, dangerous and competent, but also peace loving. There's the implication that Commander Chenault had something to do with him being a Space Ranger and she was always so strong, fighting for what she thought right. It could be interesting to see how that Zylyn at the Space Rangers came about or them ending up on a mission together or Zylyn having to help out with the paperwork or a combat training session. | letter |
| miriad | E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) | Elliott (E.T.), Michael (E.T.), Gertie (E.T.) E.T. (E.T) | I'd really like to see Elliott as an adult and how his experience affected him, how it changed him, and if it was positive or negative. How did it change his family, for good or for bad. They were really struggling in so many ways- did any of that change after E.T. went home? What happened with the government and how awful were the aftereffects. I'd love to see what that kid looks like now, or even just what 20 years would have done for poor Elliott, Michael, and Gertie. I'd also always wondered if that connection Elliott had with E.T. ever really went away, if it possibly kept them connected, even over all those miles. And what would happen if E.T. ever came back.? I'd really just love to see everyone older but still affected, maybe still being watched by Homeland Security, and how they're getting along. Did they have to move away because of what happened? Did Elliott go a little crazy? Maybe he spent some time in an institution? Maybe E.T. gave him some knowledge and Elliott knows more about plants than he ever wanted to, and became a botanist. This could be a crossover with the X-Files for all I care, and Elliott keeps getting hounded by Fox Mulder. Or maybe Elliott is convinced to go work for the government, perhaps because he thinks it might be his only chance to see his friend again. Whatever- I would just love to see where you think Elliott (and maybe his family) ended up after all the dust settled. |

| miriad | Bottom of the River (Music Video) | Woman in White (Bottom of the River), Woman in Black (Bottom of the River) | I have been fascinated by this video since I saw it the first time. So many little details, so many elements about it that are just haunting. Who is she? Why is she there? Is it her house? What's the deal with the reflection in the mirror? Seriously, give me story on this video that makes any kind of sense at all, I will WORSHIP you. |
letter |
| miriad | Twisted Princess (Disney Fanart) | Maid Marian (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Belle (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01) | I am in LOVE with the Maid Marian portrait. I ADORE it. I would love the story behind that one. There's a part of me that's already started writing part of it, involving childhood friends and a dead Robin, but I haven't let myself get much further than that. No pressure, dead Yuletide author, but that could be fun. ;) Disney's Robin Hood is my FAVORITE Disney film EVER, so this would be SO MUCH FUN to read. So many possibilities here! I also am fascinated with the Wendy (from Peter Pan) portrait. The shadow behind her gives me all sorts of feels. He face and he paleness just... *shudders* I love it! This would be fantastic (although, apparently, she's not an option in the tags- boo!) And, of course, despite getting a story based on this last year, I would ALWAYS be up for more stories around the Beauty and the Beast image. BECAUSE IT IS AMAZING. |
letter |
| miriad | John Carter (2012) | Dejah Thoris, John Carter (Barsoom), Woola (Barsoom) | There is something about John's desperate and long quest to get back to Barsoom that I find so sad and so romantic, all at the same time. I love that John himself is a romantic, that he was so much in love with his first wife that it all but broke him and it wasn't until Barsoom and the incomparable Dejah Thoris that he will allow himself to move past the loss of his family and love again. I think that plays into his desperation to not lose Dejah Thoris and to get back to her. Anyway, what I would love is a story that touched on his work to find the medallion to get back to Barsoom, those years that he searched while trying to fit in on earth, knowing what he knows about Mars/Barsoom. A reunion scene (with resulting sexy times) would be fantastic as well. I wouldn't be opposed to flashbacks to his first family, etc. |
letter |
| miriad | What's Your Number? (2011) | Colin Shea, Ally Darling | Again, there's something about knowing what happened after the credit rolled that I really wanted. I wanted to see where Colin and Ally were a year/5 years/10 years after the movie was over. I liked that he was, at heart, a romantic, but seemed a bit burned. I loved that she was a romantic, too, but was worried that she was going to end up like her mother- in a bad relationship that would end and she'd be alone. I'd like to see them weather storms together and tough it out, because they are meant to be together, and end up together, no matter what. But I'd like to see what that looks like for them, the interesting, funny people that they were. |

| Misachan | Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn | Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn), Gilad Pellaeon (Thrawn) | Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn), Gilad Pellaeon (Thrawn) Request: I'm all about fix-its for this fandom. Time travel, discovering alternate time lines, a clone scheme that works, all I want is Pellaeon getting a second chance to save Thrawn the way he couldn't on the bridge of the Chimera. But if fix-its aren't your thing I'd also love a missing scene kind of story: a skirmish that gets out of hand, having to go to a planet on a mission that's supposed to be routine and turns out to be very not, even just a moment of informality that gets the two of them closer, even a lower decks kind of story as the junior officers take stock of their Captain and the imposing Grand Admiral. Just have both of them alive at the end of the story!:) |
letter |
| Misachan | Riyria Revelations - Michael J. Sullivan | Royce Melborn, Hadrian Blackwater | I'd love a story about one of their jobs pre-Revelations, preferably one that Does Not Go Well (and is probably Hadrian's fault in the first place. Royce is just waiting to say I told you so.) I'd like some real peril for the guys, captured by enemies, possibly one thinking the other is dead, all of that good stuff.:) | letter |
| Misachan | Human Target (TV 2010) | Christopher Chance, Guerrero (Human Target) | I'd like to see a story that shows what happened in the gap between the flashbacks "Christopher Chance” and the start of the series, how Guerrero and Chance reconnected and Guerrero finding his place on the team. If this includes an explanation of Guerrero's issues with prison, so much the better.:) No preference on whether the story is actually set in that gap or if a current case brings all of that up, both are good! | letter |
| Misachan | Gundam 0083 | Nina Purpleton, Kou Uraki, Anavel Gato | Kou and Nina find out that Gato didn't die at the end of Operation Stardust. However they find out is fine with me, whether Gato shows up at their door having escaped from Feddie custody, whether they get a tip that the Federation's had him all this time and they have to bust him out, etc, etc, as long as the decision to help him brings them under serious fire from the Earth Federation. | letter |
| Misachan | Tombstone (1993) | Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp (Tombstone) | Anything focusing on Doc and Wyatt would make me happy - an incident pre-movie where they're cut off and surrounded by enemies, or where one's hurt and the other has to keep him going until backup can get there, or the two of them meeting and the friendship forming from there (sticking to the historical record or not!) Or even a story set in modern times with the two of them reincarnate and find each other again! Virgil and Morgan are also more than welcome to appear; I'd love a story about the four of them being a family and there for each other, even if they all don't always agree - say a story where Doc gets into trouble and Virgil steps in for the rescue, because just because he doesn't like what Doc does all the time doesn't mean anyone gets to touch him. | letter |
| Miss M (missm) | Notre-Dame de Paris - Cocciante/Plamondon | Anything about any of the nominated characters (or non-nominated characters, if you want to bring them) would make me squee! (Requited Frollo/Esmeralda is pretty much the only thing I'm not keen on, otherwise I'll read both gen and shipfic, het or (femme)slash -- if there's a pairing that tickles your fancy, I'll be open to it.) | letter | |
| Miss M (missm) | Affinity - Sarah Waters | Ruth Vigers, Selina Dawes | I'd really, really love a fic about the Ruth/Selina relationship. I'm fascinated by just about everything about it, and would like to see more than what canon gives us. | letter |
| Miss M (missm) | Emily of New Moon - L. M. Montgomery | Elizabeth Murray | Aunt Elizabeth fascinates me a lot, and always have, so I'd be thrilled to get a story about her -- backstory about her childhood/youth and fic set within canon would both be great. Since family is so important to her I think it would be interesting to see that explored, but if you want to write about her relationships with other people that would also be more than welcome. Feel free to bring as many canon characters or OCs as you like! | letter |
| Miss M (missm) | Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin | Seserakh (Earthsea) | eserakh is one of those characters I'd love to see more fic about, period. But backstory about her life in Kargad would be especially welcome! If you want to set the story during or after The Other Wind, I'd like to see her relationship with Lebannen developed more, alternatively feel free to pair them with other people (or no one at all). | letter |
| MissMeggie | Friday Night Lights | Tim Riggins | I am huge Tim Riggins/Julie Taylor fan so anything involving them would make my day! I prefer character pieces more than anything too plotty something about how Tim adjusts to life as an ex con would be great if you can't do anything Tulie-centric prompts: "The wedding dress hits the floor and he should feel bad, she's seven's girl they shouldn't be here but all he can think right now is he wants to kiss away the sadness in her eyes." The house is built now all that's left is to choose the kinda life he wants to live within its walls and with who. High school reunions are boring but still he's here. he likes getting lost in the storm that is Julie Taylor. They drink beer and she teaches him about the stars. I loathe Lyla Garrity and Tim/Tyra seems destructive and cyclical please avoid that if possible. |
|
| MissMeggie | Dallas (2012) | John Ross Ewing (Dallas 2012), Pamela Barnes (Dallas 2012), Emma Brown (Dallas 2012), J. R. Ewing (Dallas 2012) | I love John Ross and I'd love to know how he became who is? How did JR make him the man he is? I love Pamela Rebecca and how driven and broken she is and I love how vulnerable she is with John Ross but I also wonder if she really still loves Christopher. I'd love to know why John Ross likes to screw around with Emma is it because she feeds his self destructive streak or will He want to fix her? Anything that character driven more than plot you can do anything you'd like with these characters and I will be happy sky's the limit just two things please no Elena she bugs me. No, incest or slash please! |
|
| MissMeggie | Continuum (TV) | Kiera Cameron, Carlos Fonnegra, Alec Sadler, Betty Robertson | I loved the sort of underlying sexual tension between Carlos and Kiera I'd love to see something that explores that, If she explores her feelings is she betraying her husband? What happens if she accepts she can't go back to her to time and she builds a life with Carlos what does that look like? What happened to in the car ride with Betty and Carlos to her him to go to Julian Randall's farm? I also love the sort of sweet shy thing between Carlos and Betty and I'd like to see a friends to lovers thing. Does Alec save his girlfriend? How is the time line changed if he does? Is she Jason's mother? In short go wild do whatever you want! |
|
| MissMeggie | Nashville (TV) | Will Lexington | I would love you forever you do something exploring how he deals with his sexuality once he's famous, or maybe even a prequel of how he met the PR guy. anything having to do with growing up gay in the south. Basically anything having to do with Will and I'll be satisfied. |

| misspamela | Alloy of Law - Brandon Sanderson | Marasi Colms (Alloy of Law), Wayne (Alloy of Law), Waxillium "Wax" Ladrian (Alloy of Law) | I loved this book so much and desperately wanted more. If you're a porn-writing person, I would be really, REALLY into Wax/Marasai/Wayne, or Wax/Wayne backstory. If not, that's cool and I would be interested in seeing a story exploring Wax's past in any way, or even exploring other parts of the world we haven't seen yet. Marasi is awesome, so I don't want her fridged or erased or dismissed. | letter |
| misspamela | Points - Melissa Scott & Lisa A. Barnett | Philip Eslingen, Nicolas Rathe | OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE GIVE ME ANYTHING. I am obsessed, completely obsessed with Nico and Phillip's relationship and I am desperate to see any intimate moment between them, porny or not. (Porny is good, though.) I've read and re-read these books so many times to catch each little nuance of each interaction between them and I'm dying for more. | letter |
| misspamela | Death By Silver - Amy Griswold and Melissa Scott | Ned Mathey, Julian Lynes | Ideally, I'd love casefic that gets into the uses and rules of magic, while building on Ned and Julian's relationship. (Okay, what I really want is a sequel to the book, lol.) But anything, gen or porn, set in this universe, would make me happy. A day in the life of Ned and Julian, an oddly enchanted potholder....anything! | letter |
| misspamela | Widdershins - Jordan L. Hawk | Percival Whyborne, Griffin Flaherty | In this case, I would be totally into porn, particularly with virginal Whyborne learning the ways of the world. Porn, porn, porn. If that's not your thing, than casefic would be great too! | letter |
| Missy | Burn Notice | Sam Axe, Michael Westen, Fiona Glenanne, Madeline Westen | My first suggestion is spoilery for the series finale, and it is in my letter below - spoiler tagged! If you haven't seen the series finale or you'd like to write something different, I'd love a little Sam/Mike/Fi or Fi/Sam. Or perhaps a slice of Sam-related gen? | letter |
| Missy | Army of Darkness (1992) | Ash Williams, Sheila (Evil Dead), Linda (Evil Dead) | ALL OF THE SHEILA BEING BADASS. All of the Ash/Sheila being awesome and couply and him regretting leaving her behind. If you don't feel like writing that, how about some kind of Ash/Linda? Pre-canon? Post-canon? I'm also always up for gen! | letter |
| Missy | The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. | Brisco County Jr, Dixie Cousins, Lord Bowler, Peter Hutter | Awesome adventures! Dixie kicking butt! Brisco and Dixie finally figuring out how to make their journeyman lifestyles fit together! Bowler getting his vineyard! Pete Hutter learning how to be a good guy! I'd particularly love some extended scenes set after the series' conclusion, where Dixie comes back from her trip and discovers that Brisco is working for the government. |
letter |
| Missy | Inside Daisy Clover (1965) | Daisy Clover | Looking for some post-movie fic! What happened to Daisy after the house explodes and she walks away from Hollywood? | letter |
| Missy | Dwayne Johnson "Got Milk?" ad | Girl Waiting for Milk, Man Who's Out of Milk, Clobbered Alien, Treed Cat | What's it like to have an awesome, badass dad who saves the world on a daily basis? Does the Girl Waiting For Milk get to go on any of his alien-deterring world-saving adventures? And does he ever get to help all of the people whom he didn't help on his way to get milk? | letter |
| Missy | Emperor's New Groove (2000) | Kuzco (Emperor's New Groove), Pacha (Emperor's New Groove), Kronk (Emperor's New Groove), Chicha (Emperor's New Groove) | I'd love to see fic about Kuzco settling into Pacha's family! And maybe how Kronk does, too? I know the TV series and Kronk's New Groove show them all being friendly, but they never explored those awkward you-tried-to-kill-me-now-you're-my-friend-this-is-weird moments. | letter |
| missymeggins | The Good Wife (TV) | Alicia Florrick, Kalinda Sharma | Anything Kalinda and Alicia oriented. It can be about their friendship and how they rebuild it and make peace with the past, or it could be about them romantically. I just love their relationship and am happy to see it explored in any way you choose! | |
| missymeggins | Sofies verden | Sophie's World - Jostein Gaarder | Sofie Amundsen | Sophie Amundsen, Hilde Møller Knag, Albert Knag | ANYTHING. This is a favourite book so I'll be thrilled with anything. Definitely interested in what happens to Sophie at the end of the book, or Hilde's knowledge of Sophie's existence. Or what would have happened if Albert had written Sophie into Hilde's life. Totally just suggestions and literally anything that takes your fancy is fine! | |
| missymeggins | The Newsroom (US TV) | MacKenzie McHale, Will McAvoy, Sloan Sabbith | THIS SHIP OKAY. I mean, anything you want to write will almost certainly fill me with joy because dear god this ship. But if you're looking for suggestions, I would love to know about the breakdown of Mac and Will's relationship, the immediate aftermath of him finding out she cheated. Or about Mac while she was cheating, her headspace and justification, what she was feeling. Or five times fic! I love a good five times fic. ANYTHING REALLY. Also bonus points for Sloan/Mac awkward friendiness. | |
| missymeggins | The Fosters (TV 2013) | Stef Foster, Lena Adams | Anything but angst. This ship is my happy couple. Feel free to write about hardship or difficulties or conflicts - realism in a relationship is great! But please no angst for angst sake or character death. I'm totally a fan of Five Times fic so if something takes your fancy in that vein, go for it! I'm pretty easy to please so whatever you feel inspired/compelled to write is totally fine by me! | |
| Miss_Prince | Dangan Ronpa | Kirigiri Kyouko, Enoshima Junko, Ikusaba Mukuro | I'd love either Kirigiri/Junko or Kirigiri/Mukuro (or a messed up Kirigiri/Mukuro/Junko situation) if you're up for shipping; if not, I'd be happy with Kirigiri gen. I wrote more extensively on why I like Kirigiri/Mukuro and Kirigiri/Junko back here: http://miss-prince.tumblr.com/post/53419007698/rarepairfest-letter ...but I'll try to hit some highlights quickly. Kirigiri and Junko are excellent foils for one another; Kirigiri's probably the only character who poses a true challenge to Junko's scheming mind, and I'd love to see them twisting around playing headgames and trying to best each other while also being attracted to each other and thrilled by the challenge they offer each other. They also have fantastic kinky sex potential. Kirigiri and Mukuro are both stoic and have both seen plenty of death. I also think their dynamic could be endearingly awkward because they both have trouble opening up to people. I'd love post-IF fic where they work together to repair the world, or any sort of divergence AU where Mukuro survives the game (I'm fond of time loops, too). And I'd enjoy pre-despair fic or despairless AU where they are semi-normal high school students awkwardly falling in love. I'd also enjoy Kirigiri/Mukuro/Junko fic of various shades. Maybe Junko realizes Mukuro likes Kirigiri and decides to try to sabotage things. Maybe she just invites herself along and Mukuro can't figure out how to say no. Maybe they've already got a twincest thing going and decide to tag-team seduce Kirigiri (with optional despair mindgames). As far as gen goes, I'd enjoy Kirigiri+Mukuro and/or Kirigiri+Naegi friendship fic, or something about Kirigiri's relationship with her father, or anything about what she does with her life post-game, or her work as a detective as an adult in a despairless AU. |
letter |
| Miss_Prince | フレッシュプリキュア! | Fresh Pretty Cure! | Momozono Love | Cure Peach, Eas | Higashi Setsuna | Cure Passion | I ship them hard, and I would adore any sort of Love/Setsuna fic, from h/c involving Setsuna's life in Labyrinth, to domestic fluff (the scene where Love makes her breakfast is so damn cute), to heartfelt confessions in the middle of epic Precure battles, to trying to make a relationship work post-series, to just about anything else you could imagine them doing together. Friendship is a-okay too if you don't want to ship them. I'd also love anything about Setsuna's work rebuilding Labyrinth or any sort of story where a new threat appears that the Precure girls have to fight! |
letter |
| Miss_Prince | Fire Emblem: Kakusei | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Lucina (Fire Emblem), Serena | Severa | I definitely ship them hard. I'd particularly love to see something in the Future Past universe, or a similar universe where the kids manage to triumph without going back in time but rather have to live in the scarred world they've inherited and try to rebuild. I'd love to see Lucina and Severa fighting side by side, or navigating court politics, or adventures with Severa as Lucina's loyal Pegasus Knight bodyguard. If you'd prefer the main canon universe, I already received a lovely fic that posited C-B-A-S supports for them, but I can never get enough of that so I'd be thrilled with another take. Something where the two of them interact with their younger selves could also be really interesting! Or maybe little!Severa/little!Lucina and adult!Severa/adult!Lucina falling in love in parallel? If you don't ship them, I'd love friendship fic of any of the above. I'd love to see Future Past!Lucina's reign as Exalt, that would be really interesting. |
letter |
| Miss_Prince | Cucumber Quest | Almond (Cucumber Quest), Peridot (Cucumber Quest) | I love their dynamic, and I would love to get shipfic for them if you're up for it. Maybe a horribly awkward attempt at a date is interrupted by a monster, much to their relief (THIS is something they know how to deal with)? Really anything where they interact would be fantastic. Maybe Almond gets kidnapped by Cordelia or her henchmen and Peridot helps her escape due to her "only I may defeat you!" feelings. Maybe a plot where they get separated from their respective groups and trapped together, or stuck together somehow? I'd rather things stay relatively chaste (hand-holding and cute kisses? Yes. Hot and heavy makeouts? Preferably not.) And of course, if you're uncomfortable shipping them, I'd happily take a fic where they're just frienemies! |

| miss_pryss | Eroica Yori Ai o Komete | From Eroica with Love | Klaus von dem Eberbach, Dorian Red Gloria | I love Dorian and Klaus. I love them together. I love them at each others' throats. I love how Dorian, despite his beauty and frivolity, is still a terrifying badass at times. I will love anything you write with these guys. AUs welcome but the cold-war seventies craziness of the canon is so great, too. Just have fun! | letter |
| miss_pryss | Lilo & Stitch (2002) | Lilo Pelekai, Stitch (Experiment 626) | I love to think about how Lilo is going to be this unstoppable force when she grows up, either as a space explorer or, like, as the world's scariest youth services librarian. And I wonder how that sweet family unit is going to evolve and develop and deepen as the years go by. Write me a future-fic! Or, if that's not your bag, anything set in this movie with the main characters would be awesome (except I think something super sad -- not sure I can handle super sad in this fandom). | letter |
| miss_pryss | Love and Rockets (Comics) | Hopey Glass, Maggie Chascarillo, Penny Century, Ray Dominguez | Where to start? Write me a story with Maggie and Hopey in it and I will be yours forever. I love Ray, too. I love Penny, too. But honestly, whatever you want to do, whichever characters you want to include -- I'm yours forever. There should be more fic about these people. | letter |
| miss_pryss | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Tobias Gregson, Marcus Bell | The character relationships are what make this show tick, and that's what I'd love to read -- a story about a few characters from Elementary having THOUGHTS and FEELINGS about each other. I super super super love Gregson wearing awesome suits, and Bell being quietly brilliant, and Joan being secretly tender, and Sherlock having moments of total irrationality. And I like very much the way the show uses New York City as its setting - so if you are comfortable including the city of New York as a character, I think that would be a lovely thing. Also, I adore Alfredo, but I ran out of characters to request. Obviously you should feel free to include whomever you want, and to leave out whomever you want. No need to use this character list as, like, a checklist. And: THANK YOU! | letter |
| mistresscurvy | Best Song Ever - One Direction (Music Video) | Marcel (Best Song Ever), Leeroy (Best Song Ever), Veronica (Best Song Ever) | Basically I would love any story about the three of them, in any combination - poly, het (either het couple), slash, purely gen - and about who they are outside of the video we see. AUs are also totally welcome! | letter |
| mistresscurvy | A Song For Arbonne - Guy Gavriel Kay | Lisseut de Vezet, Blaise of Gorhaut, Aurelian (Song for Arbonne), Remy of Orreze | I would love either a story that explores what happens after our story ends between Lisseut and Blaise, or a happy story in the past with Aurelian, Remy and/or Lisseut (could be slash/poly/het or friendship-focused). Character studies of any of them are also welcome! | letter |
| mistresscurvy | Seven Kingdoms Trilogy - Kristin Cashore | Bann (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy), Raffin (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy), Po (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy), Katsa (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy) | I would adore a story about Bann and Raffin and their secret(ish) love, either within the time of Graceling or future fic or really anything. Or a story about how Po and Katsa's relationship changes and grows over time (although I would prefer for them to remain childless). | letter |
| mistresscurvy | Persuasion - Jane Austen | Frederick Wentworth, Anne Elliot | All I want is a story continuing their love, in basically any way that's a happy ending. It can be canon, AU, whatever - I just love these two so much, and I want to read more of them. | letter |
| misura | Emperor's New Groove (2000) | Kronk (Emperor's New Groove) | Anything to do with Kronk, really, because he is made of spinach puffy awesomeness. What does he do now that he's no longer henchmanning? How did he become a henchman in the first place? And what about the chipmunks? If you're a shippy person, I love the Chicha-Pacha-Kuzco connection(s), but I don't really see Kronk hooking up with anyone. |
letter |
| misura | Defiance (TV) | Amanda Rosewater | Amanda, pre-show, pretty please. If you're feeling generous, adventurous or both, I ship Connor/Amanda (possibly including Nolan, if you're opting for a story set during the show) and thus would not at all mind seeing some of that in the fic. (Optional details are optional!) |
letter |
| misura | Dennou Believers | Cy-Believers | Takano Azumi, Kisaragi Rio | These two and their odd relationship that involves mouth-to-mouth medication. And robots. (I view it with slashy goggles, but you definitely don't need to go there. I would prefer, though, that the whole 'let's throw Azumi to the Student Council President' ploy remain unused and unreferred to, because um, erk.) | letter |
| misura | GetBackers | Akabane Kuroudo, Amano Ginji | There's just something adorable and hilarious and I-can-squeal-at-this-because-it's-manga about Akabane's hm fondness and Ginji's er abject terror? And when push comes to shove, Ginji does label Akabane as a friend, and Akabane ... came to visit him at the hospital bearing a fruits basket? Can be as slashy or gen as you feel inclined to write, and I'd be perfectly happy to see other characters show up as well. If the whole Ginji-Akabane relationship just isn't your cuppa, I'd love Ban/Ginji hijinky schemes to get rich quick, or something about theTransporter business (including Akabane and perhaps Himiko?) |
letter |
| mithen | Astro City | Martha Sullivan | I fell hard for Martha Sullivan and the Sideliners when they showed up in issue 4. I love the idea of people with superpowers who aren't cut out to be either a hero or a villain, they just want to live fairly normal lives. So I'd like to see Martha's life a bit, and maybe the lives of some of the other Sideliners (you can use Busiek's or make your own): just a slice of life, or interacting with the capes a little, whatever you like. | letter |
| mithen | Spenser Series - Robert B. Parker | Hawk (Spenser), Spenser (Spenser) | I really just want more of canon here. Maybe Hawk shows up at Spenser's place and Spenser cooks him a meal. Or they go undercover at a gay bar. Or they hang out on a stakeout (if you want a specific, the sequence in Judas Goat where they spend days sitting around a fancy hotel and ordering room service was where I fell in love with their dynamic). Canon-style gen with slashy undertones is great, maybe with the UST ramped up just a bit. Sex is also great! Although mushy-romantic between them might stretch credulity... | letter |
| mithen | Star Wars: The Old Republic | Imperial Agent | Cipher Nine, Vector Hyllus | Agent/Vector has been my favorite romance option in the game so far--I think it's the strangeness of it, the sense of alien wonder. I'd love to see an alternate ending where the Agent does indeed Join the collective, and it's a positive experience. I know in other tie-in novels the Killik are presented as evil, but the game seems to have a more nuanced take on them that I find intriguing. | letter |
| mithen | A Study in Emerald - Neil Gaiman | John Watson (A Study in Emerald), Sherlock Holmes (A Study in Emerald) | I would love to see any canon ACD story moved into this universe, but would especially love to see "The Final Problem"/"The Empty House" done up in emerald. I don't know how that would go--in the inverted mirror of this world, would Holmes die and Moriarty fake his death? I'd rather Holmes and Watson strike a decisive blow against the Old Ones but if you want to follow the Lovecraft ethos rather than the Holmesian ethos, then embrace it--rip my damn heart out and leave me a sobbing mess on the floor, and I'll love you for it. Crossovers with different versions of Holmes are welcome--admit it, you want to write a version of The Great Mouse Detective with Cthulhu in it. You know you do. And I want to read it. | letter |
| Mithrigil | Nana | Oosaki Nana, Komatsu Nana | I know I am not alone in screaming NOW KISS every time both Nanas appear on screen. I have to wonder if anyone else in-story shares my frustration. Please lay the Yazawa-isms on thick, bust up that fourth wall, and somehow get our unlucky sevens to add up to 15. If you want to go angsty, or don't want to write both of them, I am also down for fic about Nana O's issues of ambition/pride versus her desire to be loved, or something about Hachi being more than just a Team Pet to the Black Stones. |
letter |
| Mithrigil | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Jean Tannen, Locke Lamora, Father Chains | Locke is a Priest of the Nameless Thirteenth, Jean (technically) an adherent of Aza Guilla. I would love to see a string of Clerical Shenanigans. Defrocking optional. | letter |
| Mithrigil | DRAMAtical Murder | Toue (DRAMAtical Murder), Sei (DRAMAtical Murder) | Worldbuilding fic! Platinum Jail is rather aptly named. I want to see the gleaming dystopia of it all, the horrible experiments, the gradual retreat of Sei into his fragmented head and Toue's part in it. ...or you could just write the creepy, wrong, exploitative porn. I'm not stopping you. Neither is Usui, for that matter. |
letter |
| Mithrigil | Catherine Called Birdy - Karen Cushman | Catherine | Birdy, Stephen (Catherine Called Birdy) | I want the reasonably-happy ever after. I'd love to see Catherine adjusting to affianced and then married life with the Son of Shaggybeard, through diary entries if possible. If you're not down for that, I sure wouldn't mind seeing Stephen, Called Scruffy or something like that. I'm sure he's got a diary of his own. |
letter |
| Mithrigil | The Fox - Ylvis (Music Video) | Take it seriously. Go noir, go eldritch horror, hell you can take it to Soylent Green if you want to. I want the question of what the fox says to be truly maddening. | letter | |

| mjules | Ondine (2009) | Ondine | I love this movie wholeheartedly - the atmosphere, the characters, even the little weeny suspense plot. But what I love most is the implication that Ondine might REALLY be a selkie. Despite everything, despite rational explanation for her origin, everything she wishes for actually does happen. There is a kind of supernatural favor that surrounds her. (I also love the idea of chosen names, and that she chooses "Ondine" as an identity.) Basically, I just want a story about Ondine. Is she a supernatural creature? Does she just have ridiculously good luck? Is Syracuse HER good luck charm or is she his? Does Annie's belief in Ondine make her a fae? ONDINE. (I love Syracuse with the fire of a thousand suns and I love them all as a family so if you want to include him and Annie in the story you are more than welcome to do so.) |
letter |
| mjules | Spartacus Series (TV) | Spartacus (Spartacus), Sura (Spartacus) | You should know that I ship this ship like the Black Pearl. (As in I would make really sketchy deals with questionable people to raise it from the bottom of the ocean.) I love them. I love everything they are to each other. I am obsessed with thinking about their lives before the Romans screwed everything up. I love the fact that they seemed to have an honest psychic connection during the events of S1 and that it wasn't just Spartacus going mad. I love thinking about what might have happened if Sura hadn't been killed, or if they hadn't been enslaved in the first place. (I also love that we never actually learned Spartacus's name, that it was a secret Sura kept for him forever.) Also, I cannot ship Spartacus with anyone other than Sura, so I'd like to avoid the later seasons' pairings if possible. (I do absolutely love Saxa, Gannicus, Agron, Crixus, Naevia, Oenamaus, my baby tiger Nasir, etc. so if you feel like doing some ensemble cameos, that's also fine with me, but I'd prefer to focus on Sura and Spartacus.) |
letter |
| mjules | Secret of Kells (2009) | Aisling (Secret of Kells) | AISLING. Oh gosh. So the US trailers for Secret of Kells were actually really misleading, implying that the movie was going to be Aisling's story. And as much as I love everything else about the movie (Brendan! Father Aidan! PANGUR BAN!), Aisling captured my imagination the most. I thought their characterization of her as a uniquely Irish spirit was brilliant. I loved the way it took into account the Irish pagan (and early Catholic) idea that supernatural spirits were not omnipotent (an idea unique to later forms of Christianity) but rather had a different set of skills to mortals, and would sometimes make deals with mortals in order to accomplish goals that neither mortal nor spirit could accomplish alone. I love Aisling as a fae, as a spirit of the forest. I'm fascinated by her slow rebuilding of her Self after her brush with the Dark One (implied by how we see her in increasingly complicated forms over the years) , and her journey over the centuries before Brendan entered her forest. Anything you write exploring Aisling, her history, her powers, her future, her Self -- I'm going to love it, although I would strongly prefer that it remain as gen as possible. Pangur Ban is a bonus option, because I love that cat. |
letter |
| mjules | Bastion | When I say Any, I really mean Any. I love this game -- the aesthetics, the mood, the worldbuilding, the characters. I love the hints of a wider world that we get in the narration and the items available in the Bastion. I would REALLY love to explore that through whatever avenue you want. Maybe some of Rucks' stories from his younger years, maybe some of the Kid's experiences on the Wall, maybe Zulf's life as an ambassador and what he loved so much about Caelondia that he chose to try to bring peace, maybe lonely little Zia and her relationship with her father and her heritage, why she was the only one whose clear desire was to let the world end rather than turn back time because it meant she would have friends. You could also choose to explore some of the legendary figures we get hints of, the Rangers and the Triggers and the Brushers, etc. -- they're all so cool. I'm especially intrigued by the deities, particularly Hense, Micia, Roathus, and Yudrig, but all of them really, and would love to see the characters' (or the wider world's) relationship with the gods explored. Heck, I'm even in love with the monsters and the plants and Zulf's bff squirt, and the idea of what they were all like before the Calamity... honestly, whatever fascinates you about Bastion, go for it. I'd prefer it to lean gen rather than shippy, but I'd be lying if I said my shipper's heart didn't beat a little faster when Zulf and the Kid tried to save each other. (I'm also cool with tossing Zia in for an OT3, ngl.) |

| mk_tortie | The Newsroom (US TV) | Neal Sampat, Don Keefer, Sloan Sabbith, Charlie Skinner | I love the interaction between Don and Sloan (I shipped them so hard for the whole of season 2, so I was super happy with the final episode!), and I love Neal's character and what we've found out about his back-story so far. Plus, anything Sam Waterston is love, for me, so Charlie is of course one of my favourite! Anything involving these four would be amazing - something post-season 2 where we see Don and Sloan's relationship develop in the newsroom and out of it, Neal trying to make his mark and also getting sent on ridiculous 'side quests', and Charlie being Charlie. I also would love to see interactions between Charlie and Sloan - I find their relationship hard to pin down (is Charlie really so dismissive of her? Will Sloan ever stand up to being ignored?) Also, anything that shows us Neal's background in more detail and how he came to work at ACN would be wonderful - especially how he came to NYC from London. Cameos from other characters (especially Will or Mac) would be great too. See my letter for more! |
letter |
| mk_tortie | Law & Order: UK | Ronnie Brooks, Sam Casey, Wes Layton, Natalie Chandler | I would love to see fic focusing on the police side of things, exploring the different characters' backgrounds or bringing them together in a new plot. Especially, why did Natalie Chandler leave? I'd also love to see Ronnie giving Sam advice, or Wes realising that Ronnie has changed since 'the old days'. See my letter for more details! |
letter |
| mk_tortie | Ich war neunzehn | I was nineteen (1968) | Wadim Gejman, Gregor Hecker | Really, anything goes with this one - I don't think anyone has probably EVER written fic for it before, so the challenge is yours! I love Gregor's and Wadim's friendship, so if you want to go AU from the end of the movie and write their friendship from Germany/Russia through the years, I would love it. Equally, something more shippy - where as part of growing up, Gregor also explores his sexuality - either during the time in the film, before, or even after (again, if you want to go AU!) - would be great too. See my letter for more! |
letter |
| mk_tortie | The Last of Us | Ellie (The Last of Us), Joel (The Last of Us), Tommy (The Last of Us) | I'd love to see some post-game story for Ellie, with appearances from Joel and Tommy. I definitely don't think that everything would just be peaceful and happily-ever-after for her - surely she's going to have to deal with some serious stuff before she even reaches adulthood! See my letter for more! |
letter |
| mk_tortie | Law & Order | Lennie Briscoe, Jack McCoy | I am very happy to see other characters featured in the fic as well as the ones requested above, but Jack and Lennie are my favourites! I also really like Claire Kincaid, Anita van Buren, Adam Schiff, and all of Lennie's partners, so feel free to include as many as you'd like. See my letter for more! |

| MmeBahorel | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | Any characters, really. Only things I cannot abide are Laurence slash and Tharkay slash. Playing with historicals and what-ifs within the world is great, too - doesn't have to include canon characters. (as of this writing, my library system still has Blood of Tyrants on order, so while I anticipate catching up by Christmas, you may want to take that into account.) | ||
| MmeBahorel | Slings & Arrows | Any characters, any setting - during Geoffrey's tenure at the festival, before, after, anything. Not a big fan of Darren/Geoffrey and am a big fan of things involving minor characters (Jerry, Maria, etc.). | ||
| MmeBahorel | Maurice - E. M. Forster | Would love to see something of Kitty, or something that takes the Great War into account - the temporary nature of a life in the Greenwood when big forces intervene, or Clive deployed into war work and coming into contact again with gay life. | ||
| MmeBahorel | Ripper Street | Anything you feel like - something sad or intense with Drake, an exploration of Reid's marriage before the accident, Jackson being Jackson. Anything with any of the canon characters. | ||
| MmeBahorel | Being Human (UK) | Ivan (Being Human) | I am desperately seeking Ivan fic. Any time period, with or without Daisy, with or without Mitchell, I don't care. I just wanted way more of Ivan than the series gave me. | |
| MmeBahorel | The Hour | Lix Storm | Lix, with or without Randall. Her life is amazing and brilliant and sad and I'd love some exploration of that, whether it be during the Spanish Civil War, WWII, whatever got her started, her relationship with Randall, her relationships since Randall - anything. | |

| Moebius | Bomb Girls | Betty McRae, Gladys Witham | I'm a Betty/Gladys shipper. Crazy, I know! I mean, McAndrews... totally endgame, I get it. But there's something about the chemistry that Betty and Gladys have (and I'm sure that has a lot to do with the actors) that I've always wished could have been explored more in the series. | |
| Moebius | Avengers Assemble (Comics) | Jessica Drew (Avengers Assemble), Carol Danvers (Avengers Assemble) | Things I love from Avengers Assemble: the Carol/Jess friendship and the Hulk/Jess friendship. I would read the heck out of a Hulk/Spider-Woman team up book. I know he's not a suggested tag, so if you don't want to write him I get that; I'd be just as happy with a story featuring Carol and Jess. And I wouldn't mind Carol and Jess being more than friends. At all. | |
| Moebius | Orphan Black (TV) | Cosima Niehaus, Delphine Cormier, Alison Hendrix, Helena (Orphan Black) | I listed my four favorite characters, but I'd accept almost any story from this show. Alison somehow getting mixed up in Cosima and Delphine's relationship would be amazing but, really. Anything. | |
| Moebius | Worlds' Finest (Comic) | Karen Starr (Worlds' Finest), Helena Wayne (Worlds' Finest), Damian Wayne (Worlds' Finest) | Karen and Helena should be supergirlfriends. Their book is such a great set up: trapped on a strange planet, only each other for company (though I included Damian because I thought Helena's interactions with him were poignant and powerful, so if he's somehow involved yay), trying to get home. If they were a mixed gender team, they'd have totally at least slept together by now. I can imagine Karen being waaaay more casual about the thing, and Helena being super intense, because she's a Bat and that's what they do. How would they deal with the start of the relationship? Would they process? Would Karen fly away so she could avoid processing? Would Helena brood? I'd love to know! | |
| Moebius | Lost Girl | Tamsin (Lost Girl), Bo (Lost Girl), The Morrígan (Lost Girl) | I love Tamsin. She's totally up my alley: caustic, tough exterior hiding a conflicted but soft-hearted interior. I'd be happy with any Tamsin centric-story, whether solo or a team up with Bo and/or The Morrigan. I'm a Valkubus shipper but if you want to keep things platonic with Bo, totally cool. Bonus points for Norse Mythology. | |
| moemachina | Final Fantasy Tactics | Zalbaag Beoulve (FF Tactics), Dycedarg Beoulve (FF Tactics), Ramza Beoulve (FF Tactics), Alma Beoulve (FF Tactics) | The Beoulve siblings are my favorite dysfunctional family, and I love the hints and tremors of a shared childhood that continue to reverberate through their intersecting adult lives. I would love a story, either before the start of the game or during, that dealt with the bonds that yoke the Beoulve children together, despite how much they may misunderstand or misuse one another. | letter |
| moemachina | Tales of Xillia | Milla Maxwell, Jude Mathis | Milla is fierce and competent and focused; Jude is nurturing and empathetic, and I love how utterly he dedicates himself to her goals, body and soul. (And, in turn, I love how Milla tries to be conscientious and balance working with her companion but not exploiting him). Obviously, they need to make out. (Or just yearn silently and helplessly for one another.) | letter |
| moemachina | Tenkuu no Escaflowne | The Vision of Escaflowne | Kanzaki Hitomi, Van Fanel | I love Hitomi & Van. I love that Hitomi is allowed to be both girly and athletic, vulnerable and brave, and I love that Van's heroic journey is about going from "uncommunicative jerk" to "emotionally aware of others." I'd love a story about the two of them ten years after the events of the TV series -- either together or apart, growing taller and stronger and braver either way. | letter |
| moemachina | Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan | Mat Cauthon, Tuon Athaem, Kore Paendrag | I read the whole of The Wheel of Time this year, and in honor of that, a request for two of my favorite characters: trickster Mat and poker-faced Tuon. As a rule, I hated Robert Jordan's romantic sub-plots, but Mat/Tuon hit my sweet spot: Tuon is an incorruptible bad-ass, and Mat is both alarmed and aroused by her implacable ferocity. I loved them. | letter |
| moirariordan | Fingerprints Series - Melinda Metz | If your tastes are obscure enough to have been matched to me on this, then omg, we need to hug it out, first of all, and second of all, literally anything in this universe would make me happy. (See letter for details and some prompts) | letter | |
| moirariordan | That '70s Show | Jackie Burkhart, Eric Forman | I looooooove this pairing. I really, really do. I don't know why; sometimes I do this, I just latch on to some weird ship of two people who barely interact/don't like each other in the canon and I don't let go until I or someone else has died a bloody death. See letter for details and prompts, both shippy and gen :) | letter |
| moirariordan | Eli Stone (TV) | Basically I'm just really into it. I'm into everybody. It's one of those shows that I don't really find very often, where I just really, really enjoy every aspect of it. I would love a character piece, a plotty fic, a shippy fic, backstory, really anything. See letter for details/prompts! | letter | |
| moirariordan | Tin Man (2007) | Wyatt Cain, DG (Tin Man) | I requested Cain and DG specifically this time because that's my pairing (May/December romances \o/!) but I really do love all the nominated characters (all the characters, period), so if you want to include others, go for it. See letter for prompts/details! | letter |
| moirariordan | Return To Me (2000) | One thing I really loved about this film was how genuine everybody was, which is what made it such a sweet, heartfelt story. Like, nobody has an agenda, really, they're just ordinary people who love their families and want to get the best out of life. And the funniest thing about this movie to me is that Grace and Bob is the sort of relationship I dream about, but Megan and Joe is the sort that I usually end up with (minus the, er, children), so guaranteed if you write anything about either couple, I'm probably gonna cry a little. | letter | |

| Molly | Haven | Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos, Audrey Parker | I'd love to see something that builds on this season's openness and trust between Nathan and Duke (as of 10/11/13 ep anyway!), without shutting Audrey out. I like OT3, but I kind of want a focus on Nathan and Duke - so OTP with Nathan/Duke or OT3 with the focus on them would work for me. I'd also be happy with a gen story that focused on solidifying/exploring Duke and Nathan's friendship. I like snark, banter, humor, fluff, crack (Haven is great for crack!), angst, pining, friendship, found families, and above all happy endings! |
letter |
| Molly | Farseer Trilogy - Robin Hobb | FitzChivalry Farseer, The Fool (Robin Hobb) | Generally speaking I just want Fitz and the Fool together! The books kept ALMOST going there but never QUITE went there. I want to BE there, just for a little while! I'd love to see some way for them to have a happily ever after with each other, and I don't much care what would be required to make that happen. :) | letter |
| Molly | Grimm (TV) | Nick Burkhardt, Monroe (Grimm) | Oh, man, these two are ridiculously adorable with each other, and need to be together. I love Juliette and Rosalee, I do, so I would hate to see them bashed or fridged, but they could embark on a life of badassery without Nick and Monroe, right? or something? Fill in the blank with something awesome - I'm not particular. And meanwhile, back at home, Nick and Monroe could fall into awkward, unexpected domestic bliss. This is basically all I need from my Nick/Monroe story, and if you're not into slash, Nick AND Monroe in the same scenario would be fine. :) | letter |
| Molly | Aliens (1986) | Dwayne Hicks, Ellen Ripley (Aliens (1986)), Rebecca 'Newt' Jorden | I love aftermath stories for this movie, but for once I'd like to see something really lighthearted. I know their universe doesn't hold out much in the way of hope for that, but that's kind of why I want it. Ripley, Hicks and Newt off somewhere building a life as a family, with Ripley's quiet, wry sass and Hicks's warm, dry amusement and Newt's down-to-earth sweet solemnity. It can be hard, it probably would be hard, but I want the non-canonical happily ever after AU for them. | letter |

| moogle62 | Ash - Malinda Lo | Kaisa (Ash), Aisling (Ash) | What happens next?! Does Aisling dream of fairy dances under moonlight in the woods? Where do she and Kaisa live, or want to live? What do they want to do? How do they grow together and change each other and love each other? OR an AU! How do they meet and what brings them together? I just love the way they connect and any story about how they work as a couple would be great <3 | letter |

Her whole life is a chocolate shop au! I don't mind gen or any pairing you like - I'd like to see Vianne in love with a woman but if that's not what comes to you, I will be happy with what does :D I love that she knows a quiet magic, that she chooses to work with chocolate, that she knows and loves and fears the wind because of what she knows and doesn't want to know about herself. I love the way she chooses when to go and where to go and where to stay I love the way she is with her daughter and the way she dresses and the way she knows everyone's favourite chocolate. Any story you can tell me about Vianne and her life (maybe especially in Lansquenet) is a story I will love. | letter |
| moonlight69 | Cambridge Spies | Anthony Blunt, Guy Burgess, Julian Bell | I absolutely love Julian Bell and Bloomsbury. Any story regarding his relationship with Anthony, Guy's feelings toward him, how they dealt with the events of his life and death...anything. Also not opposed to Guy/Anthony as a ship, as long as there's something about Julian somewhere. ;) | letter |
| moonlight69 | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Thomas Raith | Anything with Harry and Thomas. Shippy stories, unrequited feelings, life-threatening adventures, quiet brother moments, anything. | letter |
| moonlight69 | Graceland (TV) | Mike Warren | I will put some more details on each fandom in my yuletide letter (currently locked, so if you can't see it when you go, check back, I will unlock it as soon as there's something more than a placeholder!) but honestly, I can ship Mike with so many people in this show. Briggs, Johnny, Charlie...I would be happy with any of those, or if you just want to keep it gen, that's fine too. | letter |
| moonlight69 | Cal Leandros - Rob Thurman | Niko Leandros, Caliban Leandros, Robin Goodfellow (Cal Leandros) | Brotherly stuff between Cal and Niko, madcap adventures with Robin, angsty things, fluff, anything. | letter |
| Moonsheen | Oboromurimasa | Muramasa: the Demon Blade | Jinkuro Izuna, Momohime, Kisuke, Torahime | I love all of the endings in this game -- anything post game from ending of your choice would be excellent, though I would especially love True End Jinkuro and Momohime -- particularly anything involving Momohime learning something of the truth of who he is. I'm not a fan of non-con/dub-con so anything that shows off Jinkuro's slightly more sympathetic side while still showing what a mean customer he is would be great. Barring that (since Jinkuro IS a bit of a jerk) something Torahime-centric would be excellent as well. Either pre-game (How Kisuke infiltrated her household and gained her attention and--presumably--affection) or something set just before the final act of Kisuke's chapter: ...hot springs are optional, badass princesses however are preferred. | |
| Moonsheen | The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner | What DID happen on Gen and Irene's wedding night? I think we're all dying to know. (Whether or not it was sexiness or just a surprisingly honest conversation, I've never been able to decide! So decide for me) -- alternately, anything involving Gen and Irene being EXCELLENT at politics together would also be great. Oh, or anything pertaining to an heir. Particular if it addresses our dear Queen Attolia's particularly paranoid nature and Gen's reactions to it. I basically love everything about these two, but their functionality is perhaps my favorite thing -- so any story focusing on how they rule together would be wonderful. |
||
| Moonsheen | Fire Emblem: Kakusei | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Chrom | Between the first and second half of the game, Chrom adjusts to being ruler -- comes to terms with his sister's death, and navigates post-war politics of Ylisse. I'm super fond of Chrom and female Robin (MC), so anything involving them having to manage the country TOGETHER, particularly with her tactical skills, would also be excellent. | |
| Moonsheen | Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena | Tenjou Utena Himemiya Anthy | Utena/Anthy, post-series. Anything involving Anthy finding Utena after everything is over. Points for a damaged Utena and a certain Anthy -- I really love to think the roles would be a bit reversed after everything's said and done. It's Anthy's turn to be there for Utena, and she knows it. (I also love a properly witchy, sly Anthy! The hints of her somewhat wicked sense of humor are in the series itself, and I'd love to see it borne out) I really love their relationship when its played as romance, but I understand it's tricky -- seeing it resolve in a strong friendship would also be much enjoyed. | |
| Moonsheen | Simoun | I'm fascinated Anubituf and Guragief and their history. Anything from during their time as priestesses or, alternately, post-series when they've run off together would be excellent -- how their feelings for one another have evolved over time and how they manage them in the complicated gender politics of their world. | ||
| Moonsheen | BioShock Infinite | Booker DeWitt, Elizabeth (BioShock) | I'm aware this might be difficult, but anything involving a post-game resolution in which these two get to be happy (even if it's not precisely as themselves anymore) would be the best kind of Christmas miracle. Alternately anything during the game which shows Booker's softer side towards Elizabeth. (uh, no incest however -- that is just not my cup of tea) |
|
| Moonshine_Givens | Justified | Raylan Givens, Boyd Crowder | Raylan and Boyd are very much my otp, so pretty much anything you give me i'll love. Just, please: if you're going for threesome, please make it be Ava as the third part (but I would rather have them alone); Please, please, make them romantically involved (I love subtext just as much as the next girl, but we got that enough on the show); You can offer me ANY rating i'll be happy (from the most explicit porny to hand-holding, I'm good); Plot-y or not plot-y, whatever is good. Now, if you want a list of things I would love read about our boys: *other people noticing how close they are; *Boyd interacting with Raylan's daughter; *Lots of banter from both sides. Thank you! |
letter |
| Moonshine_Givens | Justified RPF | Timothy Olyphant, Walton Goggins | I love the idea of Walt/Tim. Anything, from very porn-y to hand holding will get me happy. If you can keep it somehow closer to real life - something they said in a interview; something we know happened between them (like the time they had dinner and Walton wore Boyd's swastika); on set day-to-day life, it'll make me the happiest! Thank you! |
|
| Moonshine_Givens | Chicago Fire | Kelly Severide, Matthew Casey | omething hot with those two dealing with their obsession on each other, please. | |
| Moonshine_Givens | Cut & Run - Madeleine Urban & Abigail Roux | Ty Grady, Zane Garrett | Ty and Zane dealing with the whole office knowing they're together, please! | |
| Moontyger | 응답하라 1997 | Answer Me 1997 | Yoon Tae Woong | Yoon Tae Woong fascinates me. I really wonder what he's thinking a lot of the time. Like all his career changes: teaching, to starting his own business, back to teaching and into politics - what's up with that? Or you could explore what it was like for him to raise Yoon Jae basically on his own, or to teach his brother and friends while pretending they weren't related. For that matter, I'd love something exploring his relationship with Yoon Jae. Not in a shippy way, but the relationship between brothers in episode 15 was so touching! Or you could write the story of his romance; that scene at the end where we see he really met his wife for the first time all those years ago really made me interested in their story. | letter |
| Moontyger | Project .hack (Video Games) | First off, I'd be really interested in seeing the events of the games from the perspective of either Aura or Mia. Considering their nature and role in that, I'm sure it would be both unusual and fascinating. How aware are they, really? Do they know what they are? How does the World look to them? Or Balmung, why does he take the World so seriously? How did he first meet Orca? What does he really think of Kite? Did Orca tell him about him? A tale of his adventures in the World with Orca could be interesting, too. As for Helba, she's such a mystery and I'd love to know more. Why does she hack the World? Why did she create Net Slum? What were her goals? How did she learn the things she knows? Of course you can include Kite and BlackRose, too (if you want to). I love them both (and almost switched Balmung for BlackRose, so if you'd rather write her, feel free to do that as well). Also, as .hack//SIGN overlaps with the games, you're welcome to have characters from that make cameos if you want. (I really loved .hack//Unison.) |
letter | |
| Moontyger | Secret World | Richard Sonnac | I really love the world of these games, so I'd love just about any story set in them. Perhaps you could explore how the Bees have affected the secret societies, for example. Or what happens to these different areas after the player characters leave. Did they really nuke Solomon Island or did the survivors try to start over instead? What happened to Marianne Chen, the CDC worker who now knows too much? What do normal people make of the Filth? What is it like to work for Orochi? How do our actions in the City of the Sun God affect the Marya? So much I'd like to know! (Obviously, OCs are totally fine for any of this.) If you'd like to write about Richard specifically, I'd love to know what he thinks of his role as liaison for all these new members. How does he feel about the Bees? What about all the times when your quest turn-ins instead get back recruitment messages from other societies? Does he know about this and what does he think? For that matter, I'd love a fic exploring the relationship between the three different liaison characters. (I should admit here that my primary character is Dragon, not Templar, but I do have toons of all 3 societies.) Or you could explore what his time as a new Templar was like. What were his field missions like? Did he always know about the Secret Societies or was his recruitment a surprise? |
letter |
| Moontyger | Synners - Pat Cadigan | , wow, I love Sam so much. She's brilliant and real and imperfect and she kicks so much ass for someone her age. So what I want is a fic about what happens to Sam after the end of the book. We do see that brief glimpse of her at the end, but I want more. What does she do? Does she ever go back to the Mimosa? Does she go back to hacking? It seems such a shame if she doesn't, but it's unclear. Does she get sockets? Really, I just want more Sam. And Gina is just amazing. I'd love to see so much more of her! Does she ever use her sockets again? Or you could tell the story of how she met Visual Mark and/or the Beater and their early days together. Or just a story about Gina trying to learn how to live a life that isn't centered around trying to save someone else from themselves. It seems her entire adulthood has been taken up with that; it must be quite an adjustment. How is she handling it? |
letter | |
| Moontyger | Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey | Yfandes (Valdemar), Taver (Valdemar), Rolan (Valdemar), Gwena (Valdemar) | Yes, if we matched on Valdemar: I am looking for magical not-a-horse fic this year. My primary request is for a Companion's view of the Heralds and/or any of the events in the books. But I have a lot of other thoughts for this as well. (This is also one where you will want to check my letter. I have lots of thoughts about magical not-horses, it seems.) This request was really prompted when I noticed that Taver was the Monarch's Own Companion from at least Vanyel's time all the way to the start of Selenay's reign. Yet if you compare the Vanyel trilogy to Talia's, it's clear the the Heralds have changed a ton in that time. What does he think of the changes? Does he ever tell his Herald about them or his feelings on them? Or Yfandes - at the end, when she and Vanyel are casting their final spell, she tells Vanyel that she knew from the beginning that it would end up this way. So I wondered what counts as "the beginning". Did she know from the moment he arrived in Haven that she would Choose him? Was she watching him and waiting? She was in the right place at the right time to save him, after all. So when did she know? For that matter, just a story about how Choosing really works could be interesting. When do Companions know who they'll Choose? They always show up at the right time; how does that work? For Rolan, in particular - he went such a long way for Talia. Did he know where he was going? Also, does Rolan have Taver's memories? The Monarch's Own Companions are so unique; I have to wonder what's up with them. How much of what Taver knew does Rolan know? For that matter, you could explore the difference between Grove-born Companions and the kind born of other Companions. How much difference does it make? Why did they feel Elspeth needed a Grove-born Companion? Who made that decision? Did Gwena decide it before she manifested? Rolan? For that matter, Gwena seems to be one of the few Companions to ever have significant differences with her Herald. How did she feel about that? How did she feel about the time with the Hawkbrothers? What did she expect of Elspeth and is she disappointed? Lastly, you do not have to write about all of these Companions in a single fic! I am perfectly ok with you just choosing one to focus on. |
letter |
| Moontyger | Wild Cards - George R. R. Martin | Jack Braun | Golden Boy, Chrysalis (Wild Cards), David Harstein | The Envoy | I was re-reading Ace in the Hole this year and it got me really wondering about David Harstein. What is it really like to be someone whom everyone agrees with as long as you're in the room? It's clear from the story Jack tells in that book that at one time, he used his ability for pranks, but it's also clear he feels differently about it by the events of that book. How has it shaped his life and relationships? For that matter, what's his perspective on the events in Witness? He's barely in that story, really. We know how it affected Jack, but what about David? For Jack Braun/Golden Boy, I have this kind of alternative reading where I think he's gay. Yeah, he's been married multiple times and slept with lots of women, but I honestly never get the idea that women are people to him. Re-read Witness (it's in the first book) and see what you think, but I took from it that the only person besides himself whom Jack has ever loved was Earl. I'd love to see a fic dealing with that in this modern era, where sexual orientation is dealt with entirely differently. (Of course, this conception of his orientation is totally optional and it's completely fine if you don't use it.) Alternately, what is it like to be a man who never ages, particularly as most of his contemporaries are gone now. How does he deal with that? Does the modern world confuse him? Does he have any friends these days? A story about him forming a mentor/protege relationship with someone could be great, too. Or even just something about what he's doing in the modern era. He doesn't have to work, has few friends left we know of, so how is he spending his time? And Chrysalis. Ah, Chrysalis, they took you from us too soon. I loved the Crystal Lady and I would adore a story about her. A tale of the Crystal Palace, perhaps - events she was involved in that didn't make it in the books. Or a story of her founding and building it, or how she met Mother and gave her a home. Why did she choose the persona that she did, with her amaretto and fake accent? Was she involved with more than we know? Or the story of how she left home and made her way to NYC could be interesting, too - we only hear about it kind of thirdhand. Once again, while you certainly could put all three in a single fic, it's fine if you don't. |

| Morbane | Solitaire - Kelley Eskridge | Snow Laussen, Ren "Jackal" Segura | Okay, so the book is full of Jackal being awesome, and Snow occasionally being even more awesome; I could go on about this for days, and I do go on about it a little more in my letter. But what I'd love in a fic is Jackal And Snow When They're At Home. Pre-canon would be great, though I'd also be interested in post-canon. I just want them spending time together at a point when their lives are not turned upside down. Perhaps as an alternative, I would also love scenes that include background characters, especially Snow and Jackal's webmates at Ko, Neill, Crichton, Estar, Jane, and the "fan" crowd at Solitaire. I would love any expansion on this world and these people's place in it. |

| Morbane | Sunshine - Robin McKinley | Aimil (Sunshine), Rae "Sunshine" Seddon | I would love Sunshine & Aimil friendship fic. Sunshine is great for found family, and the sense of good, strong, sure people who are built up around our protagonist is a really lovely aspect, and Aimil is one of Sunshine's oldest friends. Please give me a story about them. I am also keen on any worldbuilding aspects you want to explore. | letter |

| Morgan Briarwood (morgan32) | Courtyards of the Others - Anne Bishop | Meg Corbyn, Tess (Courtyards of the Others), Simon Wolfgard | I've enjoyed all of AB's novels, but this one drew me in right from the opening. I adore it, even with its flaws. The world she's built, one where humans are decidedly not top of the food chain, has incredible possibilities. It took me a while to warm to Meg and I think there are depths to her character that could have been better explored, but Tess is just the kind of character who fascinates me - dangerous, isolated even among her own kind, mysterious and sexy! I very much enjoyed the relationship between Meg and Simon - the potential romance is there but it's slow-burning and subtle. But the thing that bothered me most is the way Meg manages to shrug off how dangerous the Others are. She figured out what 'special meat' meant, she had her moments of being terrified, but she can still scold and play games. I like that she's strong in that way, but it's like an itch I want scratched. So I would really love a story in which Meg sees or experiences something she can't just shrug off like that. Something that would change her relationship with them - in any direction you like! I picked out my favourite characters, but I will not be disappointed if you choose to focus on others or even if you drop those I selected. I just love the world and I truly will enjoy any story set in it. |
letter |
| Morgan Briarwood (morgan32) | Ally McBeal (TV) | Ally McBeal, John Cage (Ally McBeal), Nelle Porter | This show has been my guilty pleasure for years and years. When I'm down, when I'm too drained to cope with anything more challenging, I curl up with a hot chocolate and an Ally McBeal DVD. My favourite character by many miles is John Cage. I love the quirky little guy and his determination to be true to himself, whatever that means in the moment. Under his shy, modest and introverted persona is a tough negotiator and a very intelligent man, and I love that. The relationships of his that most fascinated me were with Ally and Nelle. A romantic relationship with Ally could never have worked - they'd have reinforced each other's eccentricities until they were both locked up! And yet they are soulmates to the core. Nelle was the better match. Like John, I could never figure out why Nelle was with him, but she was what he needed and it was heartbreaking that it ended so badly. My favourite eps are the Christmas ones - Santa suing for unfair dismissal, the parties and 'numbers' in the bar, the unicorns and baby abandoned in the manger. Heart-wrenching stories with serious undertones, that always managed to end on a happy or at least optimistic note. And yet, Christmas isn't really a happy time. So my request, if you're willing, is to see something of the day *after* Christmas for those folks. Does the optimism last? Or is that the day when reality sets in with the hangover? During canon, pre- or post- canon, I don't mind at all. |
letter |
| Morgan Briarwood (morgan32) | Grimm (TV) | Nick Burkhardt, Monroe (Grimm) | This was the show I never expected to enjoy as much as I do. Police procedurals leave me cold and mixing that with my favourite genre felt like a train wreck waiting to happen. And yet, I love it. I love that there's this huge, sweeping backstory of history and royalty and secrets. I love the endless possibilities in the Wessen - good, bad, animal, fantasy, smart, dull, dangerous, weak...endless. I enjoy fairy tales and folk tales a lot and I love how Grimm brings out the sinister twist in them that the Disney versions always smudge away. Santa Claus isn't a jolly fat guy who delivers presents - just the notion of a creature out there that can sneak into children's houses unseen is pretty scary. And in the original tales, he doesn't just reward the good kids. His companion, Black Peter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwarte_Piet), punished the naughty ones, too. How about a Grimm twist on the Christmas tale? If Zwarte Piet doesn't appeal - what about other Christmas legends? La Befana of Italy. Dickens' ghosts. Wessen reindeer! Or how about those elves - creepy or what? |
letter |
| Morgan Briarwood (morgan32) | Merry Gentry - Laurell K Hamilton | Frost (Merry Gentry), Doyle (Merry Gentry) | I both love and hate the Merry Gentry books - if you offered this fandom chances are you know what I mean. Great potential in the characters, in the backstory, in the use of genuine mythology to build the world. Awful continuity and difficult to find the plot. But character...that has real potential. While I appreciate the first-person narrative, it does mean that there's a huge sweep of history the reader doesn't get to know about. These characters are thousands of years old. They've been friends, enemies, brothers, rivals and goddess-knows what else for that long. And we get just the merest hints about what their history holds. What's the issue between Doyle and the demi-fey? Why - other than the obvious - are he and Frost so close? Why did Frost really leave the Seelie court? Why did any of them - powerful, strong men - put up with Andias for so long? Does Frost have another name, as so many of the others do? I don't hate Merry, but I think I would like to see a story without her in it. Let me see something of that huge backstory - an intimate moment or a broad sweep, I don't mind. I picked out Doyle and Frost from the nominations list but honestly, I'd love something about any of Merry's men. Or even a few of the women. |

Ideally I'd like post-book fic (just this book) or something during the book that looks at them. | letter |

| moriann | Cover Up (TV) | I'd love anything you'd write in this show! It can be casefic with Danielle and Mac or Jack on a ridiculous mission; Mac coming back from the dead; something about the fashion side of their jobs, because they do need to keep up their covers. I'm also curious about what Danielle does post-series: does she go back to fashion full-time? Does she stay with the CIA? Was this whole operation so ludicrous that it became a CIA legend, whispered about in the corridors two decades later? I'm also open to all kinds of crossovers here (see letter). |

Does she ever contact Danny again? | |
| moriann | IKEA "Gnome Invasion" Commercial | Now it's time for "Gnomes 2: Electric Boogaloo"! This time they've come prepared, and won't underestimate the enemy again.

Or will they rather use guerilla warfare tactics and subterfuge to prevail over their sworn suburban enemies? | ||
| moriann | Acer "Dynamite Cupcakes" Commercial | Tell me more about this Bakery AU on steroids! Is this a fleeting midlife crisis-fueled enterprise, or a long term plan? How do they go about hiring a cashier and the delivery people? Is their accountant on the brink of a nervous breakdown already, or is he still holding on to the last vestiges of his sanity? Or how about an outsider POV: the neighbours endlessly complaining about the noise and the safety code violations, and the cops called in by them. |

| moriann | Anthony Zimmer (2005) | Chiara Manzoni, François Taillandier | Anthony Zimmer | I'd love to get either a glimpse at Chiara's and Zimmer's past, since we only have some hints about it, or at what happened after they left at the end of the film, because Zimmer/Taillandier was such a masterful con artist that it would be a shame for all that talent to go to waste in retirement. Or how about an alternative ending, where he gets arrested, but ends up in a White Collar-type set up? | |

If none of these work for you, platonic interaction or solo focuses are all good. Details to come in my letter. I also really heartily welcome post-canon fic and AUs here! | letter |
| morphogenesis | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman, Skyler White, Marie Schrader, Hank Schrader | Marie/Hank or Jesse+Skyler (platonic or romantic) preferred! Details to come in my letter. | letter |
| morphogenesis | Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward | Phi (Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward), Sigma (Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward) | Platonic Phi and Sigma interaction (like a Really Cool Friendship) is ideal, but solo focuses on either of these characters is all good. Details to come in my letter. | letter |
| morphogenesis | Silent Hill 3 (Video Game) | Heather Mason (Silent Hill 3), Douglas Cartland (Silent Hill 3), Claudia Wolf (Silent Hill 3) | Platonic Heather and Douglas interaction preferred! But I also like Heather and Claudia antagonism and even dark creepy shipping stuff if that's in your comfort zone. As always, solo focus fic works too. Details to come in my letter. | letter |

| Mosca | National Football League RPF | Star Lotulelei (NFL), Kawann Short (NFL) | The Carolina Panthers have two rookie defensive tackles. They met at training camp and fell in love. Their personalities are both distinctive - Lotulelei is shy and sweet, while Short is loud and very bright - so I'd love a story that explores that contrast. | letter |
| Mosca | Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV) | Rosa Diaz, Amy Santiago, Ray Holt | I love the women on this show, with their contrasting personalities and their being just as goofy and inept as the men but also powerful and successful. Amy/Rosa romance would be fantastic, and I love the developing friendship between Amy and Ray. It would be cool to see them solving a serious case. | letter |
| Mosca | Defiance (TV) | Meh Yewll, Amanda Rosewater, Kenya Rosewater | Doc Yewll is my very favorite, and I will be most excited to get fic centered around her. Show me the town of Defiance from her point of view - give me her sardonic voice. There's a lot of depth to her relationships with both of the Rosewater sisters, and their sibling relationship fascinates me as well. I'd enjoy Yewll/Amanda or Yewll/Kenya, but what I want most is character-focused fic that explores the show's universe. | letter |
| Mosca | Hart of Dixie | Lavon Hayes, Wade Kinsella | Their bromance is epic. If there is excessive drinking and Southern charm, I'll be thrilled. Blow jobs optional. | letter |

What mythical creature/story do they encounter next? I love all the other characters as well--maybe they can go visit Nala?--so anything with all of them would be grand. |
letter |
| movies_michelle | Talk of the Town (1942) | Leopold Dilg, Michael Lightcap | I'd love to see something post-movie about Michael's life as a Justice, possibly arguing with his radical friend (or "roommate," since I'd love slash) about various parts of the law. I'd love some slash with Leopold and Michael, but threesome with Nora would also be nice. See my Dear Yuletide letter for more. |
letter |
| movies_michelle | The Losers (2010) | Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez, Jake Jensen | I'd love to see Cougar and Jensen together, romantically and not, working and doing what they do best. | letter |
| movies_michelle | Crusoe (TV) | Friday (Crusoe), Robinson Crusoe | I love these slashy boys and their Grand Central Station of a deserted island. Give me adventure, I'll be happy. Give me a Day in the Life on the island, I'll be happy. Give me post-series, early relationship, threesome with Susannah, all of it would make me happy. Just want the boys together, being themselves. | letter |
| movies_michelle | Ripper Street | Homer Jackson, Edmund Reid | I would adore any slash story with Jackson and Reid. I think their two damaged men, and I think Jackson is more loyal to Reid than either Reid realizes or Jackson himself would like. I love that. | letter |
| movies_michelle | Rome | Titus Pullo, Lucius Vorenus | I am a sucker for any and all post-series Pullo/Vorenus slash. I'd love to see their life--in or out of Rome--after the series. | letter |
| mrasaki | Dark Tower - Stephen King | Roland Deschain, Eddie Dean, Cuthbert Allgood, Alain Johns | Gen fic is good, I always liked the 'flashback' style that King used in his first four novels in the series. Maybe Roland telling Eddie more about his childhood. I would love to have more about Roland in his youth and his training, and his friendship with Cuthbert, Alain, Aileen, and everyone else. UST or more between Roland and Cuthbert would be great but not mandatory. | letter |

| Mrkgnao | Super Hexagon | Voice (Super Hexagon), Pointer (Super Hexagon) | I see the hero of this game as a perfect metaphor for our blind human struggle, moving ever onward, undeterred towards a goal he can never hope to reach -a voice he can never hope to touch- like Gatsby looking at that green light or perhaps a cat observing a laser pointer. What I want is for Sisyphian figure to finally be granted the rest he so evidently seeks and to unite with the voice that lies outside his hexagonal plane of being. (Pointer/Voice. Porn preferred.) | letter |
| Mrkgnao | 恋スル乙女は肉食系 | The Young Maiden in Love Is a Carnivore | ometimes girls don't know what they want and it has tragic results. Can you imagine a world in which such tragedy is righted? In which the sun shines again on the budding Spring of young love, without the dread gloom of unintentional cannibalism? If you can, it would please me if you would ignore such imaginings in writing my fanfiction, as I will be saddened if Tyra-mi and [UNNAMED BRONTOSAURUS BOY] actually get together. I would much prefer you write something blackly humorous, perhaps about an impending meteor strike. | letter | |
| Mrkgnao | Segata Sanshiro Advertising Campaign | We all know that Segata Sanshiro is one of our world's most sterling heroes and martyrs, despite his sometimes harsh methods. Write me a story that speaks to his inner nobility. Tell me perhaps of how he trained on the mountains under the gentle wing of his master until at last he beheld the form of the immaculate Sega Saturn and realized his true purpose. Or regale me with stories of how his compassionate fist brought back into line those lost souls who failed to partake of the Sega Saturn. If you want to draw a tear from my eyes, you could even write a triumphant recounting of his last tragic battle in which he bravely gave his life, such that the Sega Corporation would survive its deadly missile attack and go forward to be the prosperous company we know and cherish today. | letter | |
| Mrkgnao | Papers Please | Jorgi Costava (Papers Please) | I started playing this game the day before sign-up ended and will doubtlessly have finished it by December, so I'm well aware that in asking for it I am opening myself up to being surprised. But isn't the holiday season all about surprises? Really so long as there's lots of authoritarian misery (tempered by the shining light of eternal hopefulness that is Jorgi), go wild. Also, if the authoritarian misery embodied by Arstotzka does not inspire you, I could conceivably appreciate a lighter, happier tale - one set, perhaps, in the utopic world power known as Cobrastan. |

| mrsredboots | Snowy Series - Ruth Doan MacDougall | Charlene Fecteau O'Brian Washburn, Dudley Washburn | I should really, really love to read about how Dudley and Charl got together - Dudley is too drunk to tell Snowy any details when he rings her up. But anything set in this world would be lovely. |
|
| mrsredboots | Chalet School - Elinor M. Brent-Dyer | Anything remotely realistic! Nothing graphic, please. Pre- or post-series great, or a retelling of one of the stories from another POV. | ||
| mrsredboots | Swallows and Amazons - Arthur Ransome | Again, anything remotely realistic would be lovely. Pre-series, post-series or a retelling of one of the stories from a different POV? | ||
| mrsredboots | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Peter Wimsey, Mary Wimsey, The Dowager Duchess | Anything would be lovely - something about Lord Peter's early life, perhaps? | |
| MsCongeniality | Doctor Who: Eighth Doctor Adventures - Various Authors | Anji Kapoor | Anji after her time with the Doctor. I realize crossovers with the main set of stories are in the 'no-nos' but it couldbe interesting to see if, say, UNIT finds her. Barring that, I really pretty much would love any story starring Anji. | letter |
| MsCongeniality | Tintenwelt-Trilogie | Inkheart Trilogy - Cornelia Funke | Resa Folchart | I'm very interested in Resa's story from the time she was carried into Inkworld until she reunites with her family. Particularly her adjustment to Inkworld, her time as a scribe, and pretty much anything up until she becomes Capricorn's servant. I'm also really intrigued by Resa/Dustfinger. I want to know what happened there, because something absolutely did. It's practically printed in red and jumping off the page. Also interesting might be Resa and Roxane having an honest discussion about it once they meet, but that's less of a draw for me. | letter |
| MsCongeniality | Tiger & Bunny | Karina Lyle | Blue Rose | I'm interested in her aspirations and her attitude shift after her personal encounters with Kotetsu and his belief in her as a hero. I think her crush on him is adorkable and would love to see it addressed, but please not in a creepy, age-inappropriate way because she really is closer to his daughter's age than his. Or just have her kicking some ass on her own without the other heroes. She CAN take guys down without a 'cutie escape', she just needs to choose to do it. | letter |
| MsCongeniality | The Fionavar Tapestry - Guy Gavriel Kay | Dave Martyniuk, Kimberly Ford | How do you adjust to 'normal life' after what they've experienced. I'd like to see some of their ups and downs and perhaps how those bumps on the road brought them closer since the bit with him asking her for dinner at the end always seemed a bit tacked on to me. | letter |
| MsCongeniality | Despicable Me (Movies) | Lucy Wilde | I would love an adventure of Lucy on her own. Before or after the film, just her being awesome and quirky. | letter |
| MsCongeniality | The Sting (1973) | Johnny Hooker | Johnny Hooker, ten years later. Feel free to bring back any other character you think would help the story, but please, no slash. | letter |
| mtgat | Piano Man - Billy Joel (Song) | Paul (Piano Man), Davey (Piano Man), The Waitress (Piano Man), John (Piano Man) | Thirty years of listening to this song, and I'd never noticed that Paul, who "never had time for a wife," was chatting up Davey the sailor. So. For this fandom I would love to read any of the following: Something with Paul and Davey figuring things out. Something about the waitress, including her name, and does she ever go into politics for real? Something about all the patrons and the bartender in the future (does he become a movie star or do community theatre?) perhaps incorporating the previous ideas. If you're feeling really creative and want to stretch, re-imagine it in a space station bar and go from there. Or they're all ghosts who died in a fire at the bar and are doomed to relive the seventies forever. | letter |
| mtgat | Gargoyles (TV) | I love all the nominated characters LIKE PIE. I want all the adventures with David and Fox and Owen being scheming badasses (and possibly having all the sex with each other). I want Owen's non-angsty adventures out-thinking his banishment and dealing with Avalon. I want happy cutesy fics when Angela and her rookery sibs are babies on Avalon being raised by Mummy Katharine and two Daddies. I want Fox going off and having adventures, and dealing with her mother, or with the Pack, or constructing her own Xanatos Gambits. | letter | |
| mtgat | He-Man and the Masters of the Universe | Sorceress of Castle Grayskull | Zoar the Falcon, Queen Marlena (He-Man) | I want the fic where Queen Marlena and the Sorceress kick ass and take names. Doing so with their daughters would be a bonus ('cause I love Teela and I love Adora), but not required. Doing so with their daughters and Adam (and the rest of the gang) as they help take down the Horde once and for all would be awesome. But one adventure is just fine. | letter |
| mtgat | Prehistoric Park | Nigel Marven, Suzanne McNabb, Bob Arthur, Saba Douglas-Hamilton | I want the fic whose summary begins, "All was well until ..." with the variations along the lines of, "Bob and Suzanne accidentally go back in time with Nigel," or "the day Nigel brought back a Cro-Magnon," or "some idiot decided the surviving dinosaurs at Isla Soma needed to be rehomed." Basically, let Sod's Law reign. Crack fic and crossovers welcome. Please do keep the focus on the requested characters. | letter |
| mtgat | Batman Beyond | Rex Stewart (Batman Beyond), Mareena (Batman Beyond), Micron (Batman Beyond), Kai-ro (Batman Beyond) | As always, fic about the team dynamics of the Justice League Beyond is my catnip, and Warhawk/Aquagirl is my OTP that wasn't supposed to become canon but hey I'm not objecting. The four of them bickering and fighting bad guys? Awesomesauce. Aquagirl and Warhawk out on a date (especially if you decide to incorporate things like this from the comics)? Awesomesauce. Time-travel shenanigans where they go back to the JL/JLU period and have to avoid their parents? Awesomesauce. | letter |
| Muccamukk | Blue Beetle (Comics) | Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle), Christopher Smith (Peacemaker) (Blue Beetle) | Prompts (see letter for more): -Reconciling after the end of the series. -Training mission gone wrong. -Family picnic with giant ants. Prefer gen. |

Het, femslash, poly and gen all welcome. |
letter |
| Muccamukk | Dor | String (2006) | Meera (Dor), Zeenat (Dor) | Prompts (see letter for more): -What happens immediately after the end? -Do they go back to Zeenat's home? What does Meera do then? -Does Zeenat get her husband back, if so, where does Meera fit in? Femslash, gen and poly welcome. |
letter |
| Muccamukk | Sinbad (TV) | Sinbad (Sinbad (TV)), Gunnar (Sinbad (TV)) | Prompts (see letter for more): -Gunnar pining and Sinbad deciding that's boring and going for it. -Sword practice and their complicated relationship with violence, killing and each other. -Something set in the AU where Gunnar is a streetfighter and Sinbad is kinda dead. -Something exploring Gunnar's backstory. -Scorching hot Gunnar/Nala/Sinbad porn. Slash, gen and poly welcome. |
letter |
| Muccamukk | Spider-Girl | May Parker (Spider-Girl), Reilly Tyne (Spider-Girl) | Prompts (see letter for more): -Accidental telepathy. -Family dinner with surprise guest. -Doing a job for Kaine, and making his hair even more grey. Prefer gen. |

| muffin_song | Final Fantasy IV | Kain Highwind (Final Fantasy IV), Dark Kain Highwind (Final Fantasy IV), Cecil Harvey (Final Fantasy IV) | Kain Highwind is one of my absolute favorite Final Fantasy characters. I love the tension between his darkness/jealousy and his nobility/love for his friends. Similarly, Kain and Cecil have an interesting dynamic in that they are simultaneously best friends and rivals. Kain and Cecil never *really* reconciled after his second possession in Final Fantasy IV. Even in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, we don't get an explicit scene like this. I'd love to see a scene in which Kain and Cecil finally make peace with each other. It's up to you if want to follow the After Years storyline or not...feel free to disregard it completely if you wish! (If you *really* want to make my heart flutter, you could have Kain comforting Cecil when he's in a near catatonic state in The After Years. I always thought there were some really interesting parallels to Kain's experiences in the original game and Cecil's in The After Years...) I would prefer something non-sappy, as Kain strikes me as a guy who isn't good at talking about his emotions. Feel free to incorporate some slash, but if you do please respect Rosa! |
letter |
| muffin_song | Elisabeth - Levay/Kunze | Rudolf von Österreich-Ungarn | Rudolf Crown Prince of Austria (Elisabeth - Levay/Kunze) | I love Elisabeth. But I have to confess, having experienced suicide within my own family, I've always been uncomfortable with the way it glorifies Rudolph's suicide. (I mean, he gets sexy slash kissing with Death after he's dead ^^;). I'd like to see an alternate scenario where Rudolph doesn't choose to go with Death. It doesn't have to be as happy-ending as "then Rudolph gets married and owns a house with a white picket fence", but I'd really like to see Rudolph making the choice to live. Alternatively, I'd like to see something with Rudolph making peace with either his mother or his father in death. How you choose to go about it is your choice, Yuletide Writer, but I'd like to see Rudolph get a little bit of peace one way or another. (FYI: My familiarity with Elisabeth comes from Takarazuka) |
letter |
| muffin_song | The Ascendance Trilogy - Jennifer A. Nielsen | Sage (The Ascendance Trilogy) | I love these books, and I love Sage especially. The things he does are so outlandish, and yet he never stops being a sympathetic and compelling character. I would love to read any insights you had into his life. Maybe a quiet moment at the end of book 2? It's up to you, but any thoughts you had about Sage would make me super happy. | letter |
| muffin_song | Casablanca (1942) | Louis Renault, Rick Blaine | Repeating a request from last year, but I figure there is always room for more of these characters. I've always loved the Rick/Louis dynamic. They don't trust each other, and yet they do have a bond. So I'm requesting anything about Rick and Louis' "beautiful friendship." I think the key to writing Louis well is to balance both his casual ruthlessness and his humanity. Neither should completely overwhelm the other. It's the way these two blend together that make him such a fascinating character. (Although I will admit though I've always loved Louis's redemption at the end ^_~) Either slash or gen is fine. If you do go the slash route, I prefer for it to be understated. Casablanca was a movie made before the emergence of slash fan fiction, after all. This fic from the 2004 Yuletide is how I think Rick/Louis slash can be done really, really well: http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/9/nomde.html |

| Muir_Wolf | Sharknado (2013) | Nova Clarke | All I really want here is Nova-centric fic. It can deal with her background pre-movie, or with her dealing post-movie - really anything. All I ask is that it isn't crack. | letter |
| Muir_Wolf | InSecurity (TV) | Peter McNeil, Alex Cranston | Peter/Alex, or if you don't ship them then Peter & Alex. Mostly just keeping in tone with the show, crazy hijinks and all =) And I adore most tropes, so please feel free to trope it up! | letter |
| Muir_Wolf | Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011) | Alfred Jones (Salmon Fishing), Harriet Chetwode-Talbot, Sheikh Muhammed | I hope I'm not the only one who watched this movie and whispered OT3 underneath my breath! Alfred/Harriet/Muhammed post-movie? Or Alfred/Harried + Muhmammed most movie, if you prefer! Really anything with these three post-movie will make me happy, tbh! | letter |
| Muir_Wolf | Starlings (TV) | Loz (Starlings), Fergie (Starlings) | Loz/Fergie, or Loz & Fergie if you don't ship them! Really ANYTHING that involves these two, tbh, although I'm a fan of tropes and these two obviously work very well with ridiculous hijinks =) | letter |
| Muir_Wolf | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | JR Bourne (Teen Wolf RPF), Melissa Ponzio (Teen Wolf RPF), Linden Ashby (Teen Wolf RPF) | JR/Melissa/Linden, or just the three of them hanging around after a convention. But I'd be really really here for some actual OT3. (I prefer no cheating fic, so just an AU where they're all single is the easiest tbh). But these gorgeous dorks. Just anything with them will make me terribly happy! | letter |
| mumblemutter | Journey into Mystery | Loki (Journey into Mystery), Thori (Journey into Mystery), Ikol (Journey into Mystery), Hela (Journey into Mystery) | Ok so here's the thing, I'm pretending that 645 didn't happen, and I want kid Loki fic, it can be plotty or cute or anything that won't break my heart. Alternatively, if you're reading spoilers for the upcoming Loki-centric book, I would actually take some adult Loki interaction with his brother Thor (who isn't in the character list, whups, but you know, IN CASE YOU WANTED TO DEAR WRITER ANON). |
letter |
| mumblemutter | Rush (2013) | Niki Lauda (Rush), James Hunt (Rush) | o they had some chemistry, right? Hunt/Lauda would be A+! Any kind, really. I mean they're both assholes it's kind of hot, let's face it. Also the real Lauda/Hunt were more friends than enemies and seemed to be really into each other. Also racing is hot, as pointless as it is. Danger! Intrigue! Madness! So all of that, yes please and thank you so! | letter |
| mumblemutter | Major Crimes (TV) | Rusty Beck, Sharon Raydor | Oh my god I have so many feelings about Rusty and Sharon. Like, good parenting is entirely so hot to me (in an entirely non-sexual way, but I mean Sharon is super-hot and her great parenting is just one aspect of it). I just want some fic exploring the two of them. Just, anything will do. They can have breakfast together. There can be hugs! Or IDK Sharon gives Rusty dating advice and somehow manages to convince him he's worthy of love. Oh, Rusty, bb. I have a lot of feelings, basically. But I just really love what a good mom she is, and you know. Found families are the BEST. So basically, author Anon. ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT SHARON AND RUSTY WILL BE ACES. |
letter |
| mumblemutter | Marvel Avengers Movies RPF | Scarlett Johansson (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF), Tom hiddleston (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF), Mark Ruffalo (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF), Robert Downey Jr. (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF) | o listen, I'm sorry but you know there's this video clip which I can't find right now, in which Renner goes "I sleep with all of them, ALL OF THEM" and I really truly want this, okay. He can start with Hiddles and work his way through, I don't care, I mean if you wanna write the whole list that would also be okay, but starting with Hiddles, please. And then Hemsworth, and then Downey Jr. And then Johansson, and you can't leave out Fluffalo! And then...and you know SLJ is also an Avenger, kind of?! So yes. Thank you anon and goodnight. | letter |

| muzzleofbees | Golden Girls | Dorothy Zbornak, Rose Nylund, Blanche Devereaux, Sophia Petrillo | I just miss the girls so much, anything with the four of them together being their fabulous funny selves. | |
| muzzleofbees | Holiday (1938) | Nick Potter (Holiday), Linda Seton | A very unappreciated movie, but one of my favorites. Where do they go? What adventures do they have? Give me something marvelous. | |
| muzzleofbees | Jolene (Song) - Dolly Parton | Narrator (Jolene - Dolly Parton (Song)), Jolene (Jolene - Dolly Parton (Song)) | Who is Jolene? How does she feel about this request? I would love something that gets inside of her head--or maybe she's more interested in the narrator than the narrator's man? | |
| muzzleofbees | Lonesome Dove (US) | Woodrow F. Call, Augustus "Gus" McCrae | I would prefer the novel, rather than the television show, but the mini-series is great, too. Please feel free to incorporate any and all other characters, especially Clara Allen. It doesn't have to be slashy, but in my heart, I believe the two of them have stronger feelings for each other than they had for their women--and I think Clara knew it, too. She said as much, didn't she? | |
| muzzleofbees | Mad Men | Don Draper, Sally Draper, Peggy Olson | What's next for Don Draper? What is the firm going to do without him? What is going to do without the firm? Honestly, I would love something post S6 but there's not enough Mad Men fanfic in the world and if you choose this fandom, I will be grateful for anything that inspires you. | |
| muzzleofbees | Tombstone (1993) | Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp (Tombstone) | tory, plot, friendship, etc, that's all great, but I would love 1000 word PWP too | |
| myhappyface | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Thomas Raith, Mouse (Dresden Files - Butcher), Molly Carpenter | These are my favorites; do with them what you will. | |

| myhappyface | The Mummy Series | Evy Carnahan (The Mummy), Rick O'Connell (The Mummy), Ardeth Bay | I would like something set after The Mummy 2, where possibly Ardeth is fired for being terrible at his job and goes to live with Rick and Evy. Minimal Jonathan, please. | |

| Mynuet | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Captain Frank Irving | I'm inclined towards shipping Ichabod and Abbie and would prefer they not be shipped with other people in the present/future. I'm down with a friendship story, a slow burn, a future fic, anything which explores their interaction. Alternately, I could go for a 5 times Frank Irving was the smoothest mofo to ever live or something of that nature. |
letter |
| Mynuet | Push (2009) | Cassie Holmes, Nick Gant | Cassie/Nick is one of my enduring OTPs, and I reallyreally would only want them with each other (when Cassie is old enough that it's not creepy). This is one where I'd absolutely die of happiness if you worked in the concept of "The point of fics set in alternate universes are to show that no matter what setting or circumstance, these two people will always find each other. I will find you. Every me loves every you.” My dear Yuletide author letter goes into more detail, but I'd love anything that has these two sparking off each other while being absolutely willing to give anything to protect each other. | letter |
| Mynuet | Ugly Betty | Betty Suarez, Daniel Meade | I love Daniel and Betty and will be forever sad that they never took them to the ending that all the other versions got. Again, I'd love it if you worked from the theme of the quote "The point of fics set in alternate universes are to show that no matter what setting or circumstance, these two people will always find each other. I will find you. Every me loves every you.” I love their dynamic as friends and I love the thought of them happy together, since I think they're the only people who either would ever be completely happy with. If you can't stand the thought of shipping them, I'd be fine with gen fic as long as they're not shipped elsewhere, or with an exploration of side characters/relationships. |
letter |
| Mynuet | Rome | Titus Pullo, Lucius Vorenus | Lucius Vorenus was just *wounded.* | letter |
| myrifique | Notre-Dame de Paris - Cocciante/Plamondon RPF | Julie Zenatti (Notre-Dame de Paris - Cocciante/Plamondon RPF), Patrick Fiori (Notre-Dame de Paris - Cocciante/Plamondon RPF) | They just hit all my buttons: forbidden relationship! because he's older! and a coworker! but also, they're pretending to be in love all the time, and they're both really hot, and sometimes they have sex, okay, but that's just being method, right? No, it's not, and they know it's dirty-bad-wrong but they can't stop. I'd be up for something angsty and sexy (backstage sex!), but I'd also love to see happier moments with the rest of the cast joking around. | letter |
| myrifique | Big Bang Theory RPF | Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory RPF), Johnny Galecki (Big Bang Theory RPF) | ecretly dating your costar for years while every viewer whines about your onscreen romance and how it lacks chemistry? And then you laugh about it together until one day it's not so funny anymore, and then weeks later you're not laughing at all when you're supposed to make out with the person you're never supposed to make out with anymore? YES TO ALL OF THIS PLEASE. I also adore the rest of the cast and would be super down with some extreme silliness. Basically: angst, fluff, humor, it's all good - I just want to know more about their mysterious relationship. | letter |
| myrifique | Dexter RPF | Michael C. Hall (Dexter RPF), Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter RPF) | The day they broke up was the most horrible day of my life, celebrity news-wise, but I can't imagine how they must have been feeling when they realized that, hey, we have to work very closely together again, and, wait, what, I have to pretend I'm in love with you now? This is mean, producers. I admit this is the rare case where I'm not super interested in gen - I just really want to read about their relationship, how they fell in love working together, how it was probably really great to work alongside your favorite person on earth, how it was probably fucking terrible to work with your ex fresh out of the breakup, with the sexy photoshoots and the Debra falling in love with her brother story. | letter |
| myrifique | Parenthood RPF | Mae Whitman (Parenthood RPF) | Mae is basically the sunshine of my life, and this entire cast is so great, and I love this show so much! I love how she's the biggest fan of her costars - how she fangirls Gilmore Girls but mostly Friday Night Lights (her Riggins shirt!!!!!), I love how she's hilarious and self-deprecating, I love how talented she is, and I adore her relationships with both Lauren Graham and Matt Lauria. I'd love fic of her trying to watch everything her costars have been in, or just joking around on the set, or badgering Katims to hire more FNL actors, or behind-the-scenes from her twitter, or what the heck happened when they filmed Girl On TV. (RPF prompts are hard! Just write Mae being awesome! A cast competition to see who loves her the most!) | letter |
| myrifique | Parenthood (2010) | I love Parenthood with the fire of a thousand people who really like Parenthood. I love every single character and would read about anything in this world, but I particularly love the four ladies nominated (holy crap, someone with great taste must have nominated them) and the relationships between them and the other women & girls on the show. How about the holidays at the Bravermans? Or everyone helping out with Aida? Or flashback fic for when our four siblings were young and living together? Or Haddie's visits home? Or the first girls night out where Kristina, Sarah, Julia and Jasmine invite their now-adult daughters? Or literally anything at all? | letter | |
| myystic (neoinean) | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Team fic! A mission, a team-bonding thing, whatever. It's early days still and we don't know these characters very well yet. Let's fix that with fic. | ||
| myystic (neoinean) | Hell on Wheels (TV) | Cullen Bohannon, Elam Ferguson | Full disclosure: I watch this show for the amusingly contentious bromance between Cullen and Elam, so that's what I want from fic. Show me the boys being themselves, plot optional. | |
| myystic (neoinean) | 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) | Kat Stratford, Bianca Stratford | Future fic. Maybe college fic, or high school reunion fic, or some other random future!point fic. I want to see the girls grown up, or at least more grown up, and being awesome at whatever it is they did with themselves after high school. Canon pairings optional, because not all high school sweethearts make it and that's ok. | |
| myystic (neoinean) | Matilda (1996) | Matilda Wormwood (Matilda (1996)) | Future fic. The ending of the film is so very hopeful, and I'd like something that builds on that. Matilda in a loving, supportive family environment, with her smarts and skills? The world is hers for the taking - probably literally, if she decided she wanted it. I want to see the incredible teen/adult we all know she grew into. | |
| my_daroga | Le Fantôme de l'Opéra | Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux | Erik | Phantom of the Opera (Leroux) | Would love ANY fic that includes the Daroga. | |
| my_daroga | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | T. E. Lawrence | I'm not much help here, I'm afraid. I love how complicated and contradictory Lawrence's personality is, but it makes it hard to figure out what I *want*. | |
| my_daroga | Star Trek RPF | William Shatner (Star Trek RPF), Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek RPF) | I really strongly prefer RPF that deals with the meta aspects of character vs actor, even if it's cracky/frivolous. AUs are fun and can do that too, and feel free. But my RPF interest is in how the canons and real life intersect. | |
| my_daroga | Twin Peaks | Dale Cooper | I'll take anything, but what I've always wanted was the post-finale Bob stuff. I just want to see evil!Dale doing... Bob-things. | |
| Nadat | Coldfire Trilogy - C. S. Friedman | Damien Vryce, Gerald Tarrant (Coldfire) | The Coldfire series is about temptation and its price, and the way nothing is ever entirely black and white. These two characters are personifications of this conflict. One's given into temptation and lost so very much, one is resisting temptation but can feel it calling to him anyway. This is what I'd like to see more on, whether it's just the temptation of what more Damien could do with Gerald's aid, or if it's temptation of a more physical sort between them, something dealing with the many shades of grey between the two of them. While I do ship them, this does not have to be shippy. It can include other characters as I really like all of the characters in this series. These two fascinate me the most, but Hesseth is particularly awesome as well. I'm also open to something of any rating. |
letter |
| Nadat | Farseer Trilogy - Robin Hobb | The Fool (Robin Hobb), FitzChivalry Farseer | The Fool and his struggle for identity within himself and within FitzChivalry is what I find one of the most compelling arcs over the six Farseer/Tawny Man books. I would like a scene between the two of them, something we don't get in the books, whether it's the Fool guiding FitzChivalry, or if it's FitzChivalry trying to figure himself out and how he relates to the Fool and others around him. Theirs is a beautiful, bittersweet arc where one sacrifices his chance of happiness for a shot at fulfillment, and for the happiness of the other. It's a balancing act that never quite does balance out, but the world, at least, is saved. Bonus points here for if it's a quiet, wistful sort of story from FitzChivalry's PoV where it's clear to the reader exactly how the Fool feels, but, as usual, FitzChivalry is pretty oblivious to it. |
letter |
| Nadat | Otherland - Tad Williams | Orlando Gardiner, Salome "Sam" Fredericks | What I'd really like is something from after the series. There are so many settings out there to fix up, and it's Orlando's job to repair them. I'd like to see something go wrong while Sam's there to help, and I'd like them to take some time to work out what their friendship is now, considering. Angst is fine, bittersweet is something I have a serious weakness for. Happy is even fine, considering all the pair has been through. Bonus points for Beezle making wisecracks, extra bonus points if the solution to whatever they come across requires something from Sam's Pithlet adventures. I would not like anything smut for this pair, please. |
letter |
| Nadat | Glitch (Video Game) | Lem (Glitch), Humbaba (Glitch), Zille (Glitch), Grendaline (Glitch) | The giants woke up. They dreamed together, but what do they remember of those dreams? What happens now, when they're no longer united in dream and the past fades? Please break my heart, writer. Alternately, this could be set while Ur is still intact, but facing the coming end. As the forehorsemen roam and our butlers keep brave faces and wave at us cheerfully no matter what. I'm not feeling too picky. I just want my heart broken. |
letter |
| nahco3 | National Football League RPF | Eli Manning (NFL), Peyton Manning (NFL), Andrew Luck (NFL), Robert Griffin III (NFL) | I would love either Andrew/Robert or Eli/Peyton fic. that being said I know that rpf slash and especially rpf incest slash is not something everyone wants to write so if you'd prefer to write gen about Andrew and Robert or Eli and Peyton that's fine too! For both cases, I'd love to read something exploring the pressure that NFL quarterbacks are under, and how relationships with their fellow quarterbacks have an elements of support and tension. . there'll be more in my dear author letter as well! |
letter |
| nahco3 | Baseball RPF | Tim Lincecum, Buster Posey, Barry Zito | I'm a Bay Area native and a huge Giants fan. I would love either Tim/Buster or Tim/Barry, whichever you prefer. Or Tim-centric gen fic! AU or non AU, whatever is fine. If you want to look at Tim and Buster's relationship over time, and maybe speculate about the reasons that Buster didn't catch for Tim for a long time, and the change in their relationship leading up to Tim's no-no, and beyond: anxiety about Tim possibly leaving from Buster, maybe? more in my letter! |
letter |
| nahco3 | Basketball RPF | Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant | Russell Westrbook/Kevin Durant or DWade/LeBron would be great. rivals! teammates! friends! (ahahah this applies to both pairings.) I mean - LeBron left Cleavland essentially because Wade talked him into it at the 08 Olympics. And then LeBron took over leading Wade's team. And they get pedicures together. Basically anything with them together would thrill me. And same with Russell and Kevin, actually. I love the idea of two superstars as teammates and rivals, and a gradually developing friendship, compounded with Russell's injury last season, and their drive to win the Finals. more details in my dear author letter! |
letter |
| nahco3 | Hamlet - Shakespeare | Hamlet (Shakespeare), Horatio (Hamlet - Shakespeare) | I have shipped this SUPER HARD since like, ninth grade. Literally anything would be good: an AU of some kind (Hamlet lives! or a coffee shop AU where Hamlet is an unbearable hipster!) or fic set before the play, or Horatio mourning Hamlet's loss. more details in my dear author letter! |
letter |
| NaomiK | Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman | Elphaba Thropp (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman), Fiyero Tiggular (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman), Glinda the Good (Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman) | I saw this musical last month and there were certain bits that really grabbed me emotionally, like "No Good Deed" where Elphaba is desperately trying to protect Fiyero and believes she's failed. I also really liked the musical's take on the Flying Monkeys. I don't know exactly what I want, just a story that will give me more of what I loved about Elphaba's defiance and courage, and Glinda's manipulativeness. Or Flying Monkeys. | |
| NaomiK | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | Umegat's tongueless groom, Umegat, Lupe dy Cazaril, Betriz dy Ferrej | In "The Curse of Chalion," Umegat promises to tell Daris's story someday to Cazaril. We never find out what it is, and I want to know. Or, Umegat's own story, some of the bits he left out. Or, anything about Cazaril and Betriz (and Iselle), or Ista. |
|
| NaomiK | Young Wizards - Diane Duane | Tom Swale, Carl Romeo, Nita Callahan, Kit Rodriguez | I would love to read more about Carl and Tom -- either when they first met / first became wizards, or more recently. (Did they get married when New York legalized same-sex marriage?) I find their relationship interesting; I also find the basic piece of this world, that your powers decrease as your finesse improves, really interesting. Alternately, a story about an older Kit and Nita would be really cool. (I ship Carl and Tom but not Kit and Nita, FYI, so maybe a story where they're in college and one of them finds a significant other and has to explain about the whole wizardry thing?) |
|
| NaomiK | The Addams Family (1991) | I watched this movie a few years ago and thought about how if this movie took place in 1991, Wednesday is now grown up and probably has kids of her own. I want a story about Wednesday Addams as a mother, struggling to maintain her identity as an Addams in the present day. | ||
| Naraht | Gnarr (2010) | Jón Gnarr (Gnarr) | Gnarr's outrageous statements during the campaign reminded me of the exaggerated persona of Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report. I would love to read about *that* Jón Gnarr, the one who stood atop Perlan promising "Disneyland in the Vatnsm√Ωri area" and "tollbooths on the border with Seltjarnarnes." What does he end up doing as Mayor? What sort of utopia or dystopia does Reykjavik become? Do its citizens finally have the right to visit Smáralind without going outside the city? You could go for really funny or really dark, or both at once. (Would prefer gen in this fandom though.) | letter |
| Naraht | The Charioteer - Mary Renault | Alec Deacon | My interest in a story about Alec is intended to be a starting point rather than a final demand. I was very close to requesting "Any" for this fandom, so if you feel like trying something different I am equally willing to read a story focusing on Ralph, Andrew, Sandy, Bunny, Reg or Dave. I am open-minded when it comes to pairings (and to gen, for that matter, though Alec might feel differently). Many of the stories in the fandom seem to hew very closely to canon, so I would love to read something a little more quirky or a little more speculative. I have no objection to fic that takes a dark view of canonical characters. I have a giant list of Charioteer fic ideas linked from my letter if you need more specific inspiration. |
letter |
| Naraht | Return to Night - Mary Renault | Hilary Mansell, Julian Fleming | I would read just about anything about Hilary and Julian. What happens when people finally find out about their relationship? What is their wedding like? What happens to them during the war, and afterwards? Might Julian end up in a prisoner-of-war camp, or in a rehabilitation hospital with severe burns? Might the war offer Hilary new scope for her talents? Does she stay a country GP or go back into surgery? Might they both end up alive and well in 1945 and have to work to put their unexpectedly enduring relationship onto a peacetime footing? (See my letter for more ideas.) Just one caveat: I would prefer not to get a story where Julian leaves Hilary, whether for a man or for a woman. |
letter |
| Naraht | Literary RPF | W. H. Auden (Literary RPF) | My interest in Auden centres primarily, if not exclusively, on the Interwar and WWII period. Within those limits, I feel as if I'm summarising most of his life when I say that I would love to read about him: at the "Fascist state" of Gresham's School, in the wonderful ferment of Oxford in the 20s (yes please), obsessed by spies and lead mines and the North, as a schoolmaster, as an amateur confessor and psychoanalyst to his friends, as Christopher Isherwood's friend and lover, as Benjamin Britten's friend and would-be lover (Britten fascinates me and I was just not satisfied with Alan Bennett's The Habit of Art, for what it's worth), in Iceland with Louis MacNeice, acquainted with the Cambridge Spies, in the "February House," and so on and so on. He was such a nexus of literary and cultural life in this period. Did he know everyone or does it just seem that way? | letter |
| Nary | Flavia de Luce Series - Alan Bradley | Flavia de Luce | I love Flavia's attitude and personality, and I'm interested in seeing what she will be like when she's older. Maybe something with Flavia at university, or Flavia in the present day reflecting back on her life. I tend to see her as a lesbian, or at least as more interested in women than she is in men, so if you want to pair her up with someone (either a character from the books, an OC, or possibly even a character from some crossover fandom if you can think of one that would work) I would really prefer that someone to be female - but if you want her to remain single and devoted to her calling and her science, that's cool too. Or if the idea of an older Flavia doesn't appeal to you, then perhaps a vignette with her family would be fun. I enjoy her relationship with her sisters and her father (and Dogger of course!) and would be happy to see more of that. | letter |
| Nary | The Gamers: Hands of Fate (2013) | Myriad Buxtehude, Natalie (The Gamers) | I'd love to see something where Natalie and Myriad manage to communicate, or end up in the same world (whichever one you prefer!) and can be awesome badass ladies together. Perhaps rescuing their men from peril and death, or having adventures together? I realize with the movie ending on such a cliffhanger, this is a difficult request, so if you'd rather focus just on Myriad, or just on Natalie, that's fine too. I'd love to see some of Myriad's quests in more detail, or her relationship with Dundareel. For Natalie, maybe something about how she got interested in gaming in the first place (was it being interested in Myriad's narrative that hooked her on R9E? did she try any other games?) or some more info about her friendship with Jase, or really just ... anything about her, because much like Cass, we don't know much about her other than that she's a gamer girl and she's got attitude (and a taser). I am familiar with JourneyQuest too, if you want to cross this over with that fandom as well and have Myriad and/or Natalie wandering around there. | letter |
| Nary | Without a Clue (1988) | Reginald "Sherlock Holmes" Kincaid, John Watson (Without a Clue) | A future case. Wacky misadventures. 'Holmes' and Watson caring about each other and annoying one another at the same time. That's really all I'm asking for :) Something in the tone of the movie would be great, with perhaps some slashy tension or even sex if you feel so inclined! I am not a major expert on actual Sherlock Holmes canon (I've read some of the stories but by no means all) so references to that might go over my head, but on the other hand, that means you can shamelessly pilfer plot details if you like. | letter |
| Nary | Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells | Ember (Books of the Raksura) | I'm especially interested in Ember, the new consort. I'd like to see a story that shows how he's fitting in (or not?) at Indigo Cloud - how does he get along with Moon, given how different their backgrounds are? Do they have things they can teach each other about what being a consort is all about? What is his relationship with Pearl like? He seems happy with it, but I'm curious for more details, given the huge difference in their age and maturity levels and power. I really enjoy the setting in general, too, so if you want to take the opportunity to show me some other interesting aspects of the world, or Raksura society, that's great! | letter |
| Nary | False Colours - Georgette Heyer | Evelyn Fancot, Kit Fancot | o, the twins... I'll come right out and say up front that if you want to take this to the twincesty place, I am very much on board with that and would like to subscribe to your newsletter, but if you don't feel comfortable going that route, that's fine too! I'm interested in their relationship and how it's developed over the years, in whatever way you choose to interpret it. Maybe something about a previous time Evelyn got into some scrape or other, or the two of them having a going-away celebration before Kit leaves for the Continent? Or if you like, kidfic! What were they like as children? How did their mother cope with their inevitable mischief? | letter |
| Nary | Otzi the Iceman RPF | Ötzi (RPF) | I saw this on the list of nominated fandoms and thought it was such a great idea I couldn't pass it up! I'm curious to see whatever someone comes up with for this, so if you have an idea, please go with it! That said, if you're looking for inspiration, my immediate thought was some sort of proto-Lovecraftian horror story about the circumstances under which he died - did he sacrifice himself to save his people from some horrible fate, was he murdered for finding out something Man Was Not Meant To Know, was it a ritual to appease the mountain gods (and if so, did it work?) Or you could tell me about his society, his work, his religion, whatever! It's all fascinating! Obviously any OCs you want to make up are fine, since he's the only 'character' - and of course you can have his name be whatever you want, if you feel like it's weird to use the name 20th century people made up for him. | letter |

| navaan | The Unwritten | Lizzie Hexam, Tom Taylor, Richard Savoy | I ship them in any combination so you can't go wrong however you want to pair them up, but gen in the spirit of the canon is also more than welcome. I just can't get enough of this world. The idea of stories and reality being this closely connected just appeals to me on every level and I do like how the text comments on/puts twists on writing theories, storytelling traditions and famous works of literature, myth and fairytales. Some ideas: -What happened in the year after Leviathan was wounded? How was it for Lizzie? We've seen some of what Richard and Tom were going through, but any fic focusing on more of that or putting a shippy twist on it would be great. -The three of them dealing with how the stories have changed their lives. (Lizzie remembering stuff from before the "rewrite" or from "Lizzie Hexam's story life", Richard dealing with his new life as vampire, Tom dealing with Tommy Taylor magic or dreaming of his father's books.) -Anything that explores their friendship, their conflicts or how their relationships echo the Tommy Taylor stories. -The three of them growing closer and discovering their feelings for each other -Something set after canon when they don't have any story "powers” anymore and are dealing with life, but still remembering being "characters in a story”. |
letter |
| navaan | Secret History - Donna Tartt | Henry Winter, Richard Papen | One of my favorite scenes in the book is the one when Henry returns from Italy and finds Richard in time to "save his life”. It was an important moment in their friendship, when Henry figured out that Richard's background was more "problematic" than he'd let on. I have a soft spot for Henry/Richard, but I also like the relationships and love interests as they are presented in the book. So either is good. Ideas: -something exploring the differences between them and what makes them get along still -an AU that explores how things would've turned out if the group had managed to get away with murder -We see everything described from Richard's perspective in the novel so maybe this could be a chance to explore certain situations or scenes from Henry's perspective. -What does he think of Richard at first and how does his opinion change or not? Or maybe another character is wondering about what connects these unlikely people? |
letter |
| navaan | The Thorn Boy - Storm Constantine | Darien (The Thorn Boy), Queen Mallory | Rereading the story recently I wanted to find out how life would go on for Darien after meeting the stranger from the temple again. Will he built a new relationship or will he have trouble connecting with someone again? Will he figure out how to built a life away from court that belongs only to himself? Queen Mallory was one of the most fascinating characters in the story for me and I'd love something that gives her more "screen time". Maybe retelling parts of the story from her perspective or exploring her life at the time before Akaten is brought to court and gives her a chance to establish herself in a more powerful place. After the story how would her life with the king go on? Would she think of Darien and his role in her own rise to power? (If that's what happened, of course. Maybe she just set things into motion that would lead to her own downfall? |
letter |
| navaan | Henry IV - Shakespeare | Hal (Henry IV - Shakespeare), Henry IV of England (Henry IV) | I'm mostly looking for gen fic here, but if you want to include pairings for either Henry I'm not opposed, although I'd prefer no incest in that case. I'm looking for family fic here, so feel free to include other family members as well,. I just love the plays and I'm especially interested in the father/son dynamic. I'd like to see something about that or something that focuses on the family dynamics in general. Some ideas: -Some father and son moments set before the plays - when Hal was a child or before he started to turn into the wayward son. Some insight into why their relationship is so strained. -Something set between Part I and II exploring the arguments that went on or the father's reactions to the son's achievement in battle? Hal's siblings trying to get father and son to talk to each other. -There is this moment when Henry asks himself why Percy couldn't be his son instead of Hal, so maybe an AU where he says his line about fairies switching his son at birth and some Elizabethan style magic grants it and suddenly he wakes up in a world where Hal is the son of the Earl of Northumberland and "Hotspur" is in Hal's place at least for a time and the king is the only one who remembers. -What doesn Henry think of Hal's chosen company? |
letter |
| navaan | Demon Knights | Horsewoman (Demon Knights), Al Jabr (Demon Knights) | You don't have to write them in the same story. Focusing on either one on their own is fine. I don't ship them with anyone in particular but all kinds of pairings are welcome (het, slash, femslash) and now that I'm writing this it occurs to me that it would be interesting to see how they would/could work as romantic pairing, because they seem so different in some aspects and so alike in others. (And, yes, I love culture clash and working out these kind of differences.) I just feel like these characters were set up to be very interesting and then by the end I still wanted to see more with them and know more about them. I'd love an adventure for them that makes them use their abilities, maybe alone or with the rest of the "knights". Some ideas: -Al Jabr doing science to beat magic. -Exploring the source of Sarah's power. -Both of them coming across each other in the interim after they parted ways. |
letter |
| navaan | Locke & Key | Kinsey Locke, Jordan Gates | At this point in time the series is nearly at it's end with one issue still to go and I will seriously miss it. You can write both of them in one story or give me some character exploration for either of them. I do like them in their canon romances, but pairing them up could also be very interesting. Some ideas: -Backstory for Jordan exploring her fucked up family life. -Jordan says that she thinks that she and Kinsey could have been great friends under different circumstances. A story that gives them a chance to be just that. -Something that shows the parallels in their lives and explores how they are different/alike. -Kinsey and the relationship with her mother, before, during and after the canon events. -Future!fic -A fix it fic for Jordan |

| Nemo_the_Everbeing | Columbo | Lieutenant Columbo, Sgt. John J. Wilson | A gen request for another case shared between Columbo and Wilson, because the two we got weren't nearly enough. | letter |
| Nemo_the_Everbeing | The Last Detective (TV) | 'Dangerous' Davies, Ray Aspinall, Philip Pimlott, Darren Barrett | Gen request for an exploration of Dangerous' gradual transition from the team's pariah to the glue that holds their dysfunctional unit together. | letter |
| Nemo_the_Everbeing | George and the Red Giant (radio play) | Phil Beard, George Newbould | I'd love a look at what comes after the end, another meeting between George and Phil, and the conflicts that arise between a second chance and a life left behind. | letter |
| Nemo_the_Everbeing | Adam Adamant Lives! | Georgina Jones, Adam Llewellyn De Vere Adamant, William E. Simms | What happens with Adam, Simms, and Georgie when there aren't villains to defeat and worlds to save? Are there perils to every-day life even more hair-raising than fighting a villain du jour? A gen request for an ordinary day made extraordinary because Adam, Simms, and Georgie lived it. | letter |
| neonhummingbird | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | Lupe dy Cazaril, Betriz dy Ferrej, Ista dy Chalion, Illvin dy Arbanos | I love "what happens next" stories; adventures, days in the life, anything that lets me get a little bit more of the characters and their relationship. I will definitely be happy with just Caz and Beatriz, or Ista and Illvin; if you can bring them all together, even better. | letter |
| neonhummingbird | Haven | Nathan Wuornos, Audrey Parker | Given what Haven has been like this season, I almost hate to do this to you, but feel free to set Nathan and Audrey at any point in the show. Shippiness would be lovely, but is not required; any look at their relationship would rock. | letter |
| neonhummingbird | Wimbledon (2004) | Peter Colt, Lizzie Bradbury | ee above re: what happens after. :) The more tennis, the better -- I'd really love to see more of their lives after the movie, either on the tennis tour, or raising their kids, or whatever. | letter |
| neonhummingbird | WALL-E (2008) | EVE (WALL-E), WALL-E, Captain B. McCrea | And again, see above re: what happens after. I would like to see the end credits expanded on -- the challenges of starting over on Earth, and little WALL-E wandering around working and being happy. | letter |

| Neotoma | The Flash (Comics) | Frances Kane (Flash), Hartley Rathaway (Flash), James Jesse (Flash), Linda Park (Flash) | I'd really like Frances (Magenta) Kane's view on what was going on during Geoff John's run writing the FLash that ended with Rogues' War -- there were no issues from her perspective and she rarely even had dialogue, but she knew Wally from the time they were teenagers and was his girlfriend then, so she should have a voice. If you can't write her, something about Linda's views on Piper and Trickster during and after Countdown and how she views what happened would be nice | letter |
| Neotoma | Constantine Affliction - T. Aaron Payton | Winifred "Freddie" Banks, Pembroke 'Pimm' Halliday, Ellie Skyler | ince the book is set several years after the disease first shows up and after society has reacted to it, I want the story of what each or any of the characters were doing when the Constantine Afflication first broke out -- how did they first react? | letter |
| Neotoma | Hellspark - Janet Kagan | Maggy | Margaret Lord Lynn | A story about Maggy not just learning to be a person, but having to prove it. I'd especially like more exploration about how the fact that she's not an organic being with one physical body effects how she thinks and how she's perceived. Maybe a bit on thalience, too? | letter |

| Nerissa | Newsflesh Trilogy - Mira Grant | Shaun Mason, Georgia Mason | haun and Georgia. All the Shaun and Georgia. I love them so much. Codependent siblings get me every time, and the more messed up the wider family dynamic is, the more I love them. I ship these two hard, so anything with them adventuring together will be great. Could be past fic or future fic, glutted with zombies or without so much as a moan or shuffle, depending on your preference (I am pretty take-em-or-leave-em when it comes to zombies). The one thing I'm not interested in is seeing Georgia II obsess over any way she's not the first Georgia, or any variation on that; when people in the book kept reminding her she wasn't who she remembered being, I really wanted to slap them. I prefer seeing Shaun and Georgia be Shaun and Georgia, whichever version of Georgia she happens to be, and I loved that Shaun seemed to prefer that too. General preferences and squicks are all noted in my letter, along with fandom-specific prompts. I hope you have fun writing! |
letter |
| Nerissa | Princess Protection Program (2009) | Carter Mason, Rosalinda Fiore | Can we talk about how much more action this film should have had? Because seriously, I would have killed for just one big explosion. I know, Disney, yadda yadda, but swear to God, I watched this for the first time with a four-year-old and the only parts that held her interest were the attack on the palace and that showdown near the end. Princess dresses and pop songs, nothing doing; she was just crushed when it didn't end in gunfire. So please, explosions! Fights! Adventure! For me and my little Action Girl. Side note: while I don't actively ship Carter/Rosie, they are the ship that makes the most sense to me and I don't ship them with anybody else. If you do ship them, that's more than fine with me. I just prefer romance on the side rather than as the focus. General preferences and squicks are all noted in my letter, along with fandom-specific prompts. I hope you have fun writing! |
letter |
| Nerissa | On the Run - Gordon Korman | Aiden Falconer, Margaret "Meg" Falconer | I love how Aiden and Meg are unreservedly supportive of each other and incredibly resourceful. I have a weakness for self-rescuing, clever kids. I love them even more in Kidnapped when they struggle to adjust to being normal again, only to discover they may never get to be normal again. If you have them caught up in a bank robbery, stuck on a school bus in a blizzard or even just waiting in line at the movies and trying to remember they don't have to keep looking over their shoulders, I'll gobble it up. (Given my other fandoms I feel the need to clarify: I do not ship this. I love them as they are, not as a potential couple) General preferences and squicks are all noted in my letter, along with fandom-specific prompts. I hope you have fun writing! |
letter |
| Nerissa | Gravity Falls | Dipper Pines, Mabel Pines | I love Mabel and Dipper to pieces. Mabel's uncannily insightful and just such a joy to watch, Dipper's probably got seventeen undiagnosed neuroses just waiting to boil over, and basically, I think they are the cutest ever. I do not actively ship them together, but I can see why people do and I definitely don't ship them with anyone else. Basically I am content if you don't ship them, but if you do, feel free to include that. Just please not when they're still the ages they are in the show. Grow 'em up a little, first. General preferences and squicks are all noted in my letter, along with fandom-specific prompts. I hope you have fun writing! |

| Nerissa | Wizards of Waverly Place | Alex Russo, Justin Russo | Alex and Justin. I ship them hard. It's just too perfect a blend of a messed up family dynamic and a built-in codependence for me NOT to ship it. They bicker and snipe and all that, but every time they have to work together, they kick ass. If you don't ship them, no worries at all, I understand. I also love gen and family adventures. As long as you keep the usual show dynamic with that bedrock of support they have for each other, I will be the very happiest ever, I promise. General preferences and squicks are all noted in my letter, along with fandom-specific squee and some possible plot threads. I hope you have fun writing! |

| Nestra | Spartacus Series (TV) | Nasir (Spartacus), Agron (Spartacus) | I would love something post-series, particularly something non-tragic. I got plenty of tragic from the series. An adventure would be fine, or domesticity, or reminiscing, or whatever. Just please don't kill anyone. | letter |
| Nestra | Fast and the Furious Series | Dominic Toretto, Brian O'Conner | I love that this series just keeps on churning. I would love Dom/Brian, as long as it doesn't demonize or kill off the women or involve betrayal. Any time frame is fine -- doesn't need to be after the most current movie. If slash doesn't work, gen is also fine, especially if it contains ridiculous hijinks. | letter |
| Nestra | Justified | Raylan Givens, Tim Gutterson | Tim Gutterson needs so much love. And more screen time. Tim/Raylan would be great, especially if one of them has the other one completely off-balance and kind of confused. (Most likely Raylan.) If not, I am willing to see Tim with many other people (including crossovers!), or in a gen story being his snarky, badass, possibly PTSD'd self. | letter |
| Nestra | Whitechapel (TV) | Joseph Chandler | And here is another character who needs so much love. And some therapy. I would especially love slash, although I'm not sure with who. Maybe Kent? I'm a little dubious about Chandler/Miles, although I could possibly be convinced as long as Miles' wife isn't treated badly (she leaves him -- fine; he cheats on her -- not fine). I also love the vibe in the new series between Chandler and Miles where Miles just calmly deals with Chandler's freakouts, and more of that would be great. | letter |
| neveralarch | Männer Wie Wir | Guys and Balls (2004) | Tom (Maenner Wie Wir), Rudolf (Maenner Wie Wir), Martin (Maenner Wie Wir), Horst (Maenner Wie Wir) | Okay, so I saw this movie last year and FELL IN LOVE, oh my gosh. It is just so happy and positive and great! Also it had an adorable affectionate middle-aged leather poly trio, I feel like the people who made this movie and I should be friends. The point is, I would really really like some Rudolf/Tom/Horst (ie the adorable poly trio). Anything about them! Domesticity. Their jobs at the club. How they got together. Their weekend trip driving around on their motorcycles. Kinky sex scene. Whichever. (Though honestly I am more invested in their kinky dish washing and kinky laundry folding than their kinky sex. Just putting that out there.) Alternatively, I'm also super invested in Martin, the amazing trans* butch lesbian football star. Anything on Martin - though if you want a specific prompt, something about Martin and fitting in/getting along with the team? Or Martin coming out/not coming out to different people. Or Martin folding laundry and being awesome, I don't know. With either of these, it would be awesome if you could keep the sort of happy optimistic attitude of the movie? Not ignoring problems and prejudice, but not falling headfirst into angst either. I'm also happy to get a fic in either English or German, whichever you're more comfortable with (those are the only two languages I can read). |

| neveralarch | Matthew Swift Series - Kate Griffin | Penny Ngwenya, Kelly Shiring, Dr Seah (Matthew Swift), Nabeela Hirj | The Matthew Swift series has SO MANY awesome ladies, and it was really hard to pick only four. But if you would write me fic about Dr Seah, Penny, Nabeela, and/or Kelly, I will be so thrilled. Dr Seah's awesome life and times as a cheerful magical completely unreassuring magical doctor. Penny/Nabeela fixit fic (because Penny was sure shipping it in Minority Council). Kelly basically running the Alderman because Matthew isn't. Any and all femslash combinations. The four of them gathering to have tea and play video games. Whichever. Caveats: I love Matthew and would be super happy if he shows up in the fic, as long as the focus is on the ladies. And please no character death, Kate Griffin has scarred me as it is. I need happy death-free Matthew Swift fic. |
letter |
| neveralarch | ごくせん | Gokusen (Manga) | Sawada Shin, Yamaguchi Kumiko, Fujiyama Shizuka, Ooshima Kyoutarou | Basically I just love Kumiko and her yakuza family. They're adorable/badass, which is an awesome combination. Fic about Kumiko and Shin's future as head of the Ooedo family and yakuza lawyer/tough dude/whatever Shin becomes and also their future as people who also make out occasionally would be rad. Alternatively, fic about Kyotaro being the tough ridiculous guy he is would also be rad. (Especially if it explored the Kyotaro/Fujiyama threads that the manga pretty much dropped. I would love to see a longer Kyotaro and Fujiyama courtship that ends with Kyotaro inevitably messing it up and Fujiyama realizing that she could... probably do better.) Any fic about these characters and how they fit in with the wider Ooedo family would be rad, haha. If you go with Kumiko/Shin, though, please keep it post-manga/post-Shin's graduation - I pretty much can't read any teacher/student romance, which is why Gokusen blind-sided me with how much I love it. Similarly, Fujiyama is GREAT and I would love fic about her, but I would appreciate it if you don't dwell on her whole teenage-boy thing. |
letter |
| neveralarch | The Lion in Winter RPF | Timothy Dalton (Lion in Winter RPF), Peter O'Toole (Lion in Winter RPF), Jane Merrow (Lion in Winter RPF), Anthony Hopkins (Lion in Winter RPF) | o I don't really read RPF, but there was this Daily Mail article (sorry, but it's the only version I could find) about Peter O'Toole and I just?? Peter O'Toole??? He's ridiculous????? I'm pretty sure that he is actually a fictional character. And then I saw Lion in Winter and it was beautiful and haunting and amazing but actually the whole time I was thinking about Peter O'Toole and Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton and Jane Merrow and Katherine Hepburn getting drunk and losing bits of their fingers and laughing at each other and falling out of boats and occasionally trying to act. I would really like that fic. Like, a lot. | letter |
| neverminetohold | Le Pacte des Loups | Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) | Grégoire de Fronsac, Mani (Le Pacte des Loups) | Likes: gen and/or slash, H/C, angst, fluff, romance, bromance, happy/hopeful endings. Dislikes: explicit slash, kinks, non-con, mpreg, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, crack, non-canon AU's. Prompt: I would love a fix-it where Mani survives, and the two of them continue their journey. |
|
| neverminetohold | Tales of Xillia | Alvin (Tales of Xillia), Jude Mathis | Likes: gen and/or slash, H/C, angst, fluff, romance, bromance, happy/hopeful endings. Dislikes: explicit slash, kinks, non-con, mpreg, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, crack, non-canon AU's. Prompt: In the game, Alvin says to Elize that both Jude and Milla are very mature in the way that they don't show their hate for him, after his betrayals and backstabbing. I would love to see something where Jude forgives him, because I think that is something Alvin will be working for and needs to hear. |
|
| neverminetohold | Dishonored (Video Game) | Corvo Attano, The Outsider (Dishonored) | Likes: gen and/or slash, H/C, angst, dark, snark, horror, creepy romance, bromance, hopeful endings. Dislikes: explicit slash, kinks, non-con, mpreg, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, crack, non-canon AU's. Prompt: Theia mania. |
|
| neverminetohold | Chronicles of Riddick Series | Richard B. Riddick (Riddick Series), Vaako (Riddick Series) | Likes: gen and/or slash, H/C, romance, dark, banter/snark, bromance, hopeful endings.

|
| neverminetohold | Ocean's (Movies) | Danny Ocean, Rusty Ryan | Likes: gen and/or slash, H/C, angst, fluff, romance, bromance, humor, banter/snark, happy ending. Dislikes: explicit slash, kinks, non-con, mpreg, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, crack, non-canon AU's. Prompt: how to steal a heart (and keep it), the little things, two in harmony surpass one in perfection |
|
| neverminetohold | 3:10 to Yuma (2007) | Ben Wade, Charlie Prince | Likes: gen and/or slash, H/C, bromance, angst, violence, banter/snark, happy/hopeful endings. Dislikes: explicit slash, kinks, non-con, mpreg, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, crack, non-canon AU's. Prompt: "Charlie, I think it is time for a new outfit. What do you think?" |
|
| newredshoes | The Hollow Crown RPF | Joe Armstrong (The Hollow Crown RPF), Michelle Dockery (The Hollow Crown RPF) | Joe Armstrong. Michelle Dockery. Harry and Kate Percy. As one Tumblr user put it, their chemistry is RIDONK. I don't understand anyone who's not utterly undone by their eye contact during the "Hear the lady sing in Welsh" scene. I want more of them. I want filming, rehearsals, post-The Hollow Crown, AUs, porn, accidental time-travel into the story they're filming, anything that gives me more of that RIDONK chemistry (especially if there are FEELINGS involved). |
letter |
| newredshoes | New Order - Sixty Miles An Hour (Music Video) | There's nothing I don't want to know about the characters here. How did the scientist decide to don the bear suit? What's that like before he drives off into the wilderness? What are the hitchhiker's feelings about the encounter? What else (or who else) does the park ranger find in the preserve? What's so magical about having excellent rhythm? Is the outside world even like our own, or is everyone in this video fleeing a dystopia that has no place for them? | letter | |
| newredshoes | Miniatur Wunderland (Tourism Videos) | Please get as wild and meta as you want with this. Who builds these things? Who thinks them up? What happens in the models when no one is watching? What do the tourists experience? Why is the narrator of the video so smarmily excited? Who takes these jobs? Why do we go to see the Miniatur Wunderland? What is the end goal of a gigantic model train world? What does the Miniatur Wunderland MEAN????? | letter | |
| newredshoes | Bloom County | It might be the most obvious prompt in the world, but I want to see how Bloom County has weathered the decades since Berke Breathed set down his pen. Good God, the Nineties must have been bad enough -- what about the present? How does social media change everything? What are the insights available about politics and culture today? How are Billy and the Boingers doing? And... does anyone actually age? Straight-up pastiche or AUs or breaking-the-world/form are all welcome. As are basset hounds, basselopes and authorial intrusions. |

| nic | The Wicked Years Series - Gregory Maguire | Liir, Trism bon Cavalish | I finally read the final in the Wicked Years series last year - "Out of Oz" - and it pretty much broke my heart. More than that, there's so much yet unsaid. What happened to Liir? Did Trism return to him, as he thought he would? I would love to see a story where they reunite and still love each other. Feel free to include what happened with Rain and Ozma too, if you feel so inspired. Rain`s story broke my heart too. |
letter |
| nic | GISHWHES (Event) | I don`t know what kind of story I want here. I`ve seen hilarious crossovers with other fandoms where the characters do GISHWHES. That would be awesome, but I guess it would have to be a small fandom that we both know! Here`s my list. YULETIDE FANDOMS WHERE THE CHARACTERS COULD DO GISHWHES * Figure Skating RPF (Tessa, Scott, The Shibs!, Meryl, Charlie, Johnny Weir, Stephane, Plushy, Yuzuru, Javier, Nathalie, Fabian, Ashley, Rachael, any of the ONTD_Skating favourites.) * Boston Legal (You know Denny and Alan would OWN it.) * Make it or Break It * Press Gang (Lynda Day would win at all costs!) * Red Dwarf * Sweet Valley * Star Trek RPF (can you imagine Shatner running the team, and Nimoy wryly tolerating the antics?) * The X-Files RPF * Smash * Indiana Jones * Cooking fast and fresh with West (Or if it`s something in western public consciousness that almost everyone knows and you think you could write an amazing, funny story, go for it!) ALTERNATIVELY: - This is really an open-ended request. Surprise me. |
letter | |
| nic | Figure Skating RPF | Tessa Virtue, Scott Moir | I `ship Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir like crazy. They`re facing the end of their competitive career together. What happens after the 2014 Olympics? It`s an ending for them, which can be so sad, but their relationship will change. Can you explore this? OR (see above request) - figure skaters do GISHWHES? |
letter |
| nic | Boston Legal | Denny Crane, Alan Shore | I adore Denny and Alan and their complicated, loving relationship. It`s been a few years since we last saw them. What are they doing now? | letter |
| nicole21290 | Fleetwood Mac (Band) | Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac), Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac) | I'm fairly easy to please - angst, humo(u)r, fluff, whatever floats your boat. I do like more character and 'feeling' driven pieces than pure porn or generic plot but, again, I'll enjoy anything. | |
| nicole21290 | Nashville (TV) | Deacon Claybourne, Rayna Jaymes | ||
| nicole21290 | Lie to Me (TV) | Cal Lightman, Gillian Foster | ||
| nicole21290 | The X-Files RPF | Gillian Anderson (X-Files RPF), David Duchovny (X-Files RPF), Téa Leoni (X-Files RPF) | ||
| NicoleAnell | Breaking Bad | Open to pretty much ANY of the Breaking Bad characters listed in the tag set, you can see my Yuletide letter (once it's open/available) for more specific likes/dislikes. As the show focused so much on Walter White, especially in the final episode, I'm mostly curious about fic centered on other characters as they relate to him or in his absence. | letter | |
| NicoleAnell | Defiance (TV) | Stahma Tarr, Datak Tarr, Alak Tarr, Christie McCawley | I just want evvvverything about the Tarrs! Ambitious twisted aliens of my heart. I ship the hell out of Stahma/Datak (but just generally love Stahma a lot) and their whole power-grabby dynamic, but they also spawned this precious rebel-hipster kid with his very confused human girlfriend and I'd enjoy fic about either of them too. :) Bringing in their culture and backstory is a plus! | letter |
| NicoleAnell | Hadestown (Musical) | Persephone (Hadestown), Hades (Hadestown), Eurydice (Hadestown) | Currently OBSESSED with this album and would love some fic to delve further into it! I'd really like - if 'worldbuilding' is the right name for it, I want to know a lot more about what's going ON in this universe. Post-apolcayptic? 1920s Depression era? (I get a lot of New Orleans vibes off it myself.) I want to know how the myth and magic-ness of it fits into a concrete time/place. I am also *all about* this imagining of Persephone, and any ship or gen permutations of her, Eurydice, and/or Hades. | letter |
| NicoleAnell | Happy Endings (TV) | Alex Kerkovich, Brad Williams, Jane Kerkovich-Williams | My details are pretty simple here: BRAD/JANE ADORABLE MARRIEDS PLEASE, or fic about the Kerkovich sisters, or both! The rest of the ensemble can be involved too, but just letting you know where my heart lies. | letter |
| NicoleAnell | Luther (TV) | John Luther, Alice Morgan, Justin Ripley | John/Alice would be my twisted OTP of this show, it was inevitable. Whatever their extraordinarily different ways of seeing the world are, I love their connection and doubt they could ever get the other out of their head/life for long. *That said* I haven't read nearly enough Luther/Ripley fic either. Writing one or the other or OT3-ing them somehow would make me very happy! Of course a more gen, plotty or character-driven story would also be awesome. | letter |
| Nightlit | Tales Of Graces | Richard Windor, Asbel Lhant, Hubert Oswell, Malik Caesar | Enough is enough. Malik and Richard have decided the only way this can be fixed is with an intervention. Asbel and Hubert's fashion sense must be dealt with as soon as possible! Naturally, as the makoever is attempted, hijinx ensues. I can't see how this premise couldn't be made better with more of the party (particularly Pascal and Sophie) present, but that's just a thought. |
|
| Nightlit | Tales of the Abyss | Luke fon Fabre, Guy Cecil, Jade Curtiss | One word, SKITS. I love the cast of this game, but some of the best moments are the random events that happen between the important parts of the story. Feel free to set them whenever you want, before, during or after the main plot. They can be connected or just individual unrelated scenes. To get your creative juices flowing, I have included a few prompts (all of them post game) below, some of which include characters who are not requested. Prompt 1 - Post-game: Luke (and maybe Natalia) is visiting Guy (and maybe Jade) in Malkuth, but rather than spending time on recreation, they instead end up setting up a secret party being held in the emperor's name. Prompt 2 - Post-game: Jade clandestinely studies Luke to figure out what happened between him and Asch after Van's defeat. Luke realizes Jade is paying more attention to him than normal, but is otherwise oblivious. Prompt 3 - Post-game: Luke, Guy and Jade must escape... from Natalia's and Anise' wedding plans. |
|
| Nightlit | Super Robot Taisen J | Super Robot Wars J | Touya Shiun, Calvina Coulange | OGs rendition of SRWJ. Touya has just been handed over to the Tesla Licht institute for to avoid being handed over to the EDF forces after the Mission 1 event with the girls and one of the robots (I like Coustwell, but use whichever one you want). There he meets Calvina (who is using a different of the main robots, if it ever comes up) who is assigned as his flight instructor and caretaker. Neither is amused. Feel free to use as many other OGs characters as you want to fill out the cast and events. |
|
| Nightlit | Persona 3 | Sanada Akihiko, Kirijo Mitsuru, Persona 3 Protagonist | Mitsuru and Akihiko are an item... aren't they? A group of random people are together for some contrived reason and talking. That question comes up and they discuss it. Antics ensue. If this doesn't keep your interest, Male Protagonist/Akihiko porn/romance/etc. is also something I'd love to read. |
|
| NightsMistress | New X-Men: Academy X | Ashida Noriko (Academy X), Cessily Kincaid (Academy X), Julian Keller (Academy X), Sooraya Qadir (Academy X) | One of the themes of this book was that they were the last mutants and the effects of that mentality on them and so I'd really like a story about that. If you're only familiar with the NXM stuff, I'd really like a story set after the Limbo arc, dealing with the fallout of that and the fact that for all of this, they are still children. If, however, you're familiar with the later stuff and are interested in writing it, I'd love something with these guys set in the current events. They're not the last anymore, but they're a lost generation, and I'd love to see some exploration of that. | letter |
| NightsMistress | World Embryo (manga) | Arisugawa Rena | omething before the story begins! Rena has a lot of unfilled gaps in her history, which is fitting. But what is it like to have to rebuild yourself from scratch, when you don't remember anything about yourself at all? When did she start photographing things? What's life like trying to balance school and her real job? Or if you want to touch on her feelings for Youhei versus Riku (neither of which are nominated, and definitely don't feel obligated), by all means! |
|
| NightsMistress | Young Wizards - Diane Duane | Ronan Nolan | Ronan lived with the Winged Defender/One's Champion inside his soul for almost a year, and had expected it to last his entire life. How does he adjust to his new status? Are there any complications for him, either external or internal? And how on earth did he manage to disappear from home for two weeks and not get grounded for life? | letter |
| NightsMistress | Final Fantasy XIII-2 | Hope Estheim (FF XIII-2), Alyssa Zaidelle (FF XIII-2) | Two prompt ideas that I cannot get out of my head: 1) Living in Academia must be incredibly lonely when you're widely regarded as a heroic figure of mythological proportions, as opposed to being just another person with a terrible work ethic, who has left everything and everyone they ever loved behind. What is that like? 2) The problem with Alyssa disappearing from the timeline is how intertwined she is with Hope's life. We see that other people, who knew Alyssa less well, remember her still but their memories are fading. Does Hope remember her, and if so, how much? What does he remember, and how does he do it? |

| nimblermortal | Norse Religion & Lore | Anything, anything at all, as long as it is not Marvel I will be happy enough to cry. If you want a little more guidance, tell me why Loki chooses to go by Laufeysson - why did he choose to be the son of his mother in a culture in which fatherhood is so much more important? Please no romance-centric plots, and please no porn. |

| nimblermortal | Elemental Logic - Laurie J. Marks | I am not going to specify characters, but some things that would make me happy include Gilly and Garland in the same place, and Norina and children. (Air children, yes, but also normal children.) I love kids, but I also think you would be amazing if you could make the air children actually creepy, rather than simply saying they are so as Marks does. Please no romance-centric plots, and please no porn. |
||
| nimblermortal | Calvin & Hobbes | You know those stories where someone plays a game against Death and wagers for their life? I would like to see Death play Calvinball for a life. Bonus points if it's not Calvin. Alternatively, while I have written a story about Susan Pevensie (Narnia) and Susan Derkins being the same person, if this speaks to you I would very much like to read someone else's take. Please no romance-centric plots, and please no porn. |
||
| nimblermortal | Hainish Cycle - Ursula K. Le Guin | Shevek (Hainish Cycle) | I love The Dispossessed. I love how Shevek is ostracized for, essentially, being what his society strains to be; I love his moral quandaries (over such small things, like the dessert) and how he rises to them; I love his pride in what he does. I especially love "But he had not brought anything. His hands were empty, as they had always been." You don't have to write me something to do with the above, but it ought to give you a clue. Please no romance-centric plots, and please no porn. |

| nnozomi | Shadow of a Hero - Peter Dickinson | Letta Ozolins, Biddie (Shadow of a Hero), Steff Ozolins Van Ozolins | What's happening to them now? Did Varina achieve independence, and how is it doing? Where did Letta choose to live and work? (I would be happy to see Biddie and Letta still friends, or, if you feel like femslash, in an established relationship.) How and where did Van get his life restarted after the events of the book? Did he and Steff ever reconcile their differences? What goes on inside the quiet, self-controlled Steff? | letter |
| nnozomi | Steerswoman Series - Rosemary Kirstein | Steffie (Steerswoman), Zenna (Steerswoman) | I'd love to see Steffie learning how to be a steersman from Zenna and also working to balance his ambitions with how the people of Alemeth have always seen him. Maybe casefic of some kind for the two of them, either something happening in Alemeth or something old that emerges as they sort the archives? | letter |

| noblealice | Spiritwalker Trilogy - Kate Elliott | Catherine Bell Barahal, Andevai Diarisso Haranwy | Post-series fic.

I would also love for Vai to find the letter she wrote to him when she believed she would die - and all the angst that would cause. |

| noblealice | Under The Dome (TV) | Norrie Calvert-Hill, Joe McAlister | The early flirtation between Joe and Norrie was the cutest thing and I'd love more of them just being regular teenagers; making out, sneaking into one another's bedrooms and teasing each other. Background Phil/Dodee would also be appreciated! |
letter |
| noblealice | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Door (Neverwhere), Richard Mayhew | ROMANCE! KISSES! FRIENDS TO LOVERS! I heard the BBC's latest audio book of Neverwhere this year (starring Natalie Dormer and Richard Mayhew) and I suddenly shipped them. Feel free to include whoever else you'd like, whatever locations or adventure, but please have Richard and Door's relationship be the center of the fic. | letter |
| noblealice | Byzantium (2012) | Clara (Byzantium) | I was so intrigued by Clara's proclamation on how she would use her gift: "to punish those who prey on the weak, to curb the power of men." I'd love to see 1. her travels and exploits before returning to watch over Eleanor (when she realized immortality was lonely alone) or 2. her adventures with Darvell (the vamp who first found her and had confessed to looking for her to make up how he had failed her and in the end spared her life), how she deals with a life that no longer revolves around Eleanor |
letter |
| noblealice | Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen | Catherine Morland, Henry Tilney | Would love to read something post-book that deals with the established relationship of Cathy and Henry. Running their house together, supporting each other, learning together how to navigate married life and perhaps the possibly of children? More importantly, I'd like a look at their wedding night. (Also, I must confess that I'm partial to the 2007 ITV adaptation) | letter |
| nocowardsoul | Aksuma - Elizabeth E. Wein | Goewin (Aksuma), Lleu (Aksuma), Medraut (Aksuma) | I would like something set after The Empty Kingdom where Goewin and Medraut learn Lleu is alive (or before if you want to do an AU story). The idea of them never meeting again makes me sad. Alternatively, Medraut's POV on anything post-TWP, Medraut/Turenesh, Gowein being awesome especially in her ambassador role, or whatever you can come up with. | letter |
| nocowardsoul | Emily of New Moon - L. M. Montgomery | Elizabeth Murray | Anything about Aunt Elizabeth. I enjoy the way her relationship with Emily develops over the course of the books. Or what was she like as a child? How did Jimmy's fall affect her? That line about being guiltily relieved when her father died has always stuck with me. | letter |
| nocowardsoul | Maurice - E. M. Forster | Kitty Hall | Kitty is great, and I'm intrigued by the possibility her as queer. You could pair with Violet Tonks or an OC or some lady from history or another fandom. Or if you prefer, a gen story about what she does after the book/during the war/after the war. | letter |
| nocowardsoul | Beyond the Western Sea - Avi | Any really does mean any; there isn't a single character I wouldn't like to see explored. A look at the Kirkles at any point in time; Patrick, Maura and Bridy making lives in Lowell; what happens to Fred and/or Toggs next; Maura/Nathaniel development; Laurence, Grout, and Nathaniel out west (culture clash or what?); how Mr. Drabble got into acting; how Grout met Clemspool. Seriously, whatever takes your fancy. | letter | |
| nocturnal08 | Nashville (TV) | Rayna Jaymes | Rayna is truly breathtaking, and so strong! I identify with her songs, love her backstory, love her as a mother, love her as a musician, love her insecurities, love her honesty, love her temper, love her courage, love her intelligence. She can be very petty, but is also very generous. Scarlett and Juliette are both fabulously angsty characters, with big voices and bigger dreams! Feel free to incorporate them! | letter |
| nocturnal08 | Lie to Me (TV) | Cal Lightman | Cal Lightman is one of the modern-day Sherlock Holmes characters that just WORKS. I love the tension and love in Cal's relationships with both Gillian and with Emily. They are both essential to making him charismatic. He makes them a priority and deeply regrets endangering or hurting them. I also love him as the demanding and unpredictable teacher to Eli and Ria. I'm looking for a story that juxtaposes Cal's strengths (insightful, brilliant, brave, honest, dominant) and his weaknesses (inconsiderate, defensive, demanding, over-protective). | letter |
| nocturnal08 | The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern | I haven't read a book I LOVED as much as The Night Circus in years. Such an unusual story! Beautifully crafted and imagined! The characters were so emotionally charged and interesting. There isn't one that I wouldn't love to hear more about, so I'll leave it to you to choose. If you're passionate about a character, then I am sure I will love the story! Don't be afraid to add your own details! It will make the story more vivid and let me see the circus through your eyes! | letter | |
| nocturnal08 | Pushing Daisies | Charlotte Charles, Ned (Pushing Daisies), Olive Snook | This show is just so deliciously morbid and sexually repressed. I LOVE the theme of sex=death, so don't feel required to fix things up too much for Ned and Chuck (though if you have a great idea for how they might circumvent their predicament, please do explore it!). I love all the characters, love the parental figures, love the humor, love the technicolor morality and Ned's emotionally stunted way of loving everyone. | letter |
| nocturnal08 | Jericho (US 2006) | Jake Green | Oh, the apocalypse after my own heart! I am a total apocalypse junkie, but particularly like Jericho because of my hero Jake and his self-esteem issues. No matter how many times he saves the town, he never seems to chase down those ghosts of his! You really don't have to be gentle with him! Whumping is allowed. I prefer Jake with Heather --or having regrets about Heather--- to him with Emily. It can be as complicated as you like, though! Love Stanley and Mimi too! | letter |
| nocturnalKnight | Glitch (Video Game) | Friendly | Anything you write about Glitch is fine-an Ur origin story involving all the Giants, maybe, or even writing about Esquibeth or about the NPCs or a fun story about the Butlers. What I'd like a lot is maybe-if you know them-a story about ghost tours? The quest about following someone and finding every ghost. Maybe a story about fighting Rooks, or trying to achieve badges. What I loved best about Glitch was exploring the world. But anything's alright! | letter |
| nocturnalKnight | 告白 | Confessions (2010) | Kitahara Mizuki, Moriguchi Yuko, Watanabe Shuya | I loved this movie. The viciousness of Moriguchi, the secret desperation of both killers. What I loved the most was the heart; Mizuki Kitahara. She engaged me in the story, made me hope for her when it was obvious Shuya would eventually kill her. The smashing of all romanticized notions was painful and necessary, and made his comeuppance all the more satisfying. I'd like something about her before she died, maybe. But another direction it could go would be perhaps, to deal with the extremely ambiguous ending-did Moriguchi kill Shuya's mom? Or was she really joking? | letter |
| nocturnalKnight | The Ghosts of Ashbury High - Jaclyn Moriarty | Lydia Jaackson-Oberman, Riley (Ashbury High), Amelia (Ashbury High), Emily Thompson | Anything you write about these characters would be great. Maybe Riley, Lydia and Amelia come together in the future to write a book together, or when Riley and Amelia's first album comes out Lydia writes little vignettes for each of their songs. Maybe we get to see Emily as a grown up.Maybe you could just write a short piece of all of them just hanging out together in school, or maybe one night on the anniversary of that day when they all travelled back in time they all dress up in their old uniforms and go to the park to say some things to Tom and Maggie. Anything you write about this universe would be awesome. | letter |
| nocturnalKnight | Gangjeok-deul | Powerful Opponents | Yoo Gwang Pil, Kang Soo Ho, Cha Young Jin | Anything is alright! I'd love an ot3 fic, or a post series fic, or a h/c fic for the two leading men. I shipped Soo Ho and young Jin a lot. But any pairing is fine! | letter |
| nocturnalKnight | The Messenger | I Am the Messenger - Marcus Zusak | Ed Kennedy | Ed Kennedy! Where to start. I think I'd really like maybe something set like maybe all of Ed's messages bumping into each other and having a connection without realizing. Or you could even have him post-canon, dropping cards into people's mailboxes as if passing the torch-or you could have him as a literary success, having dumped the cab driving. I'd love the runner girl as a cameo, or even the Rose brothers. | letter |
| nocturnalKnight | Life (Manga) | Hatori Miki, Shiiba Ayumu, Sonada Yuki | AH, AYUMU. I really like Life. It's vicious and sweet all at once with balance. I mainly watched the drama series, which is similar to the manga. I would love a fic about them-Ayumu, Miki, Sonada-kun. Hell, ot3 if you are so inclined. I ship all three of them in every configuration. Put in Manami if you'd like-she's fascinating. I've read the manga so you can do whatever with that too. I'd like fixit fic with the three friends, but anything else is alright too! Maybe even an AU where the tables are turned and Manami is the sole victim. Who knows? | letter |
| Nokomis | Mercy Thompson Series - Patricia Briggs | Mercy Thompson | o basically what I would love to see here is maybe some short adventure story, but really, ANYTHING would be great. Gen or canon pairings are fine, whatever you feel comfortable with. I'd love to see something with Mercy and Bran, or something with Ben, or Warren, or Jesse, or Charles, or, well, ANYONE. | letter |
| Nokomis | Justified | Raylan Givens, Tim Gutterson, Boyd Crowder | o there's no real way you can go wrong, dear writer, if you love Justified. I'd love to see something gen, maybe with these three having to work together towards a somewhat common goal -- I love the interplay of Raylan and Boyd, and think the addition of Tim's sardonic side-eyeing would be fantastic, but really, I'll be happy with a story about anyone. Boyd and Tim would be a really interesting combination. I prefer gen/plotty stories, but if you want to go shippy, go for it. And include anyone you want! I love Ava to bits and pieces, and Dewey Crowe, and of course Dickie Bennett and Rachel, so really, just have fun with this. <3 | letter |
| Nokomis | Batgirl (Comics) | Stephanie Brown (Batgirl) | o Stephanie Brown is one of my forever-favorites, and I would love to see ANYTHING about her. I especially love: Stephanie Brown/Jason Todd, and the brother/sister dynamic of Steph and Damian, and of course Steph and Cass, and Steph/Dick (gen or shippy, I'm into them both ways). REALLY I JUST LIKE ALL THE STEPH FIC. Her relationship with Babs is a great thing to explore. My one preference is that I would like Steph and Tim to be just friends, though if you'd like to write about the potential awkwardness of THAT team up, that would be fantastic. I'm even down with the wider DCU + Steph! | letter |
| Nokomis | Vikings (TV) | Ragnar Lothbrok, Lagertha (Vikings), Athelstan (Vikings) | I OT3 these characters, and would love to see anything about them. I don't like modern AUs, but I'm okay with pretty much anything else involving them. | letter |
| Nomad (nomadicwriter) | Frasier - Fandom | I recently had a big resurgence of my teenage love for this show, and would welcome any sort of fic about it. I love the family vibe between the cast, and the way the show manages to mix in more serious elements and emotional moments without losing the sharpness of the humour or getting overly sentimental. I'd be equally happy with a pure humour story or one with a more serious side in this fandom. (That said, when the show gets into embarrassment humour it always makes me cringe, so I much prefer it when the comedy comes from verbal point-scoring or farcical silliness.) Anything focusing on the family relationships between the characters would be great. Something set pre-canon might be cool: Martin's relationship with his boys as kids, their school or college days, how Niles and Martin got on in the years when Frasier was living off in Boston. Or post-canon: what's Niles's relationship with his dad like now he has a son of his own? How are he and Daphne getting on? Did Frasier ever end up returning to Seattle? Ship-wise, I love the canon Niles/Daphne relationship, and would also welcome an AU version of how they might have got together or a missing scene of yet another occasion where they narrowly missed doing so. I adore Lilith and always thought she and Frasier were made for each other, but I also find their post-divorce feuding just as fun. Lilith interacting with the rest of the characters is always gold, too; she has a more emotional side that usually only Frasier gets to see, so seeing the others react to that would be interesting. And the episode where she slept with Niles rather cries out for a missing scene to fill in the blanks of how the hell that happened. (I'm really not after sex scenes in this fandom, though.) Really, any sort of fic about these characters and their relationships would be great. An AU twist on the events of the series might be interesting - what if Martin had moved in with Niles instead of Frasier? What if Frasier and Lilith had stayed married? What if Niles was the one who'd left Seattle to live elsewhere? - or just a missing scene with canon-style hijinks. I'd be happy with pretty much anything that captures something of the feeling of the show. |

| Nomad (nomadicwriter) | Eroica Yori Ai o Komete | From Eroica with Love | Klaus von dem Eberbach | I love this manga. I love that it's so light and frothy and fun, yet the leads still have such layered and complicated characters, and the world allows enough scope for anything from serious, dark espionage stories to fluffy ridiculousness to fit in equally well with the canon. Klaus is my favourite character, in all his repressed, bad-tempered workaholic glory. Any sort of Klaus-centric story would be fantastic: missionfic, with or without the Alphabets and Eroica's interference, just an ordinary day at the Schloss/the office, or maybe something delving into his backstory. I'd love anything about the years when child Klaus was raised by his father and butler, or his time at school and wistful affection for Sister Theresa, or maybe something about his early years at NATO. I'm always interested in how other people view him - his coworkers, the staff at the Schloss, and especially anything sort of story that delves into his relationship with his father. Klaus/Dorian is naturally welcome, but I'm not OTP-ish about it, and I'm pretty fascinated by the idea of Klaus in a relationship with anybody (or failing at same). I like Klaus/Z, both in a slash or a gen way, and also Klaus/Dorian/Z, and even have a bit of a soft spot for Klaus/G: it'd never work out, but really, it seems like a shame there isn't even any fic where they go undercover as a couple or similar. I'm also down with Klaus/OC relationships (either male or female is cool with me; while I really can't see Klaus in any functional relationship with a woman, I'd be interested in dysfunctional attempts, or how he might negotiate a marriage of convenience). I usually don't like reading fics with explicit sex scenes, but given that Klaus has obvious issues with sexuality, I'm okay with it in this fandom if it serves the story. In general, though, I'm much more interested in exploration of boundaries and the conflicts/difficulties that arise than PWP for its own sake. Alternatively, I could easily buy the idea of Klaus being asexual (though I wouldn't want fic where he spends too much time navel-gazing over it or thinks about it in such anachronistically modern terms; maybe just some sort of exploration of how his lack of interest clashes with the romantic attention he gets and his father's pressure to get married). Really, any angle you choose to take on Klaus and his intimacy issues would be fascinating to me. |
letter |
| Nomad (nomadicwriter) | Judge Dredd (Comics) | Well, if you've matched me on this pretty much non-existent fandom, you've already done a lot to make me happy! There's pretty much nothing out there for Judge Dredd, so any kind of fic at all would be really great. I love the dark humour of the comics, and the way that storylines build and continue over decades of real time. On of my favourite things about the comics is the long-running saga of Dredd's aging and his growing doubts about the Justice system, even though he's too much a part of it to really imagine any other way. I'm fascinated by the little glimpses we get of his childhood and his relationship with his clone-brother in the years before Rico went bad, and I would absolutely love anything to do with his clones and the awkward little family they've built together. I especially love his relationship with his niece, the fact that Dredd so clearly does care in his own painfully inept way, and the fact that Vienna is pretty much the only person who treats him as an actual human being separate from his role as a Judge. I adore Anderson the way she appears in the Dredd comics, as the relentlessly cheery smartass who never hesitates to talk back to Dredd in a way no one else dares to. (I'm not so much of a fan of the angst-fest her solo title became as it went on.) I'd love a story where she gets to meet or see him interacting with Vienna, or one where she has to use her powers on him and gets a glimpse of what's really going on inside his head. Some sort of time travel hijinks where she gets to go back and see Dredd and Rico as boys or maybe even meet Fargo could be fun too. This is a fandom where I have a hard time imagining anything other than gen fic, given Dredd's hard line on celibacy, but if you want to run with UST on Anderson's side or incidental relationships for the other characters, I'm cool with that. (I also love the storyline about DeMarco's crush on Dredd, so if you want to do something with Anderson or Vienna finding out about that non-relationship, or Dredd contemplating how he is and isn't different from Rico in that context, that would be great too.) Really, when it comes to this fandom I'm entirely flexible. Any sort of Dredd fic would be great! |
letter | |
| Nomad (nomadicwriter) | The Rat Patrol | Hans Dietrich, Sam Troy | I fell hard for this show because it has exactly the kind of 'respectful enemies' vibe I love. (I kind of adore how the writers barely even bothered to set up Dietrich as an adversary for an episode or two before pulling out every single plot device that they could think of to have him and the Rat Patrol call a truce, share a moment of understanding, or find some other reason to help each other out. Somebody shares my narrative kinks!) I love the mutual respect that's grown up between Dietrich and Troy even though they're both still dedicated to their duty and their men, and the fact that they've both let each other go free at times when they probably shouldn't have done it. I would love any sort of story that puts them in a situation where they have a common adversary or need to work together, or where they help each other out of human decency. Some kind of off-duty meeting on neutral ground would be fascinating too, or perhaps a future story where they encounter each other after the war. Another thing I'd love to see explored is Dietrich's character arc through the second season of the show; his obvious growing discomfort with some of the things that he's asked to do, and the way he moves towards taking more overt action to aid the Rat Patrol at times, even when it puts him at odds with his superiors. (All conveniently killed off before they could make trouble over it, but what if one were to survive for a change? Dietrich under suspicion or in trouble for his actions in helping the Rats would be something I'd love to see.) Any exploration of where that storyline might have been going if the series had continued would be great. Either gen or slash would work equally well for me in this fandom, though I'm not looking for anything particularly explicit. Given the wartime setting, character death, darker elements and tragedy are all fine with me if you've got a story you want to tell with them. |
letter |
| Nonesane | American McGee's Alice | Cheshire Cat (American McGee's Alice) | I utterly and completely love this version of the Cheshire Cat. I find his loyalty combined with his self-perservation fascinating and would love to see more of him in tricky situations. Maybe he could be the one in trouble for once with Alice having to help him out or even rescue him? Please see my Dear Yuletide Writer-letter for more info (http://nonesane.livejournal.com/41557.html). |
letter |
| Nonesane | BioShock Infinite | Robert Lutece, Rosalind Lutece | The Luteces made the game for me; it wouldn't have been half as fun or interesting if it hadn't been for them. I'd love to see more about them, pre-, during, or post-game. Fair warning: I ship them. If this is too close to incest for you (and incest squicks you) that's fine. I find their relationship wonderfully interesting no matter if there is kissing involved or not. Just letting you know that including a romantic relationship between the two of them would make me smile. Please see my Dear Yuletide Writer-letter for more information (http://nonesane.livejournal.com/41557.html). |
letter |
| Nonesane | Hainish Cycle - Ursula K. Le Guin | Genly Ai (Hainish Cycle), Therem Harth rem ir Estraven (Hainish Cycle) | I've only read one book in the series and that is "The Left Hand of Darkness". I don't mind spoilers for the other books, but I won't get references made to said other books unless they're well explained within the text. That said, I fell deeply in love with the world-building in this book and would like to know all there is to know about Winter and its different cultures. The hard to define relationship between Genly and Therem I'd also like to see more about, either pre-, during or post-book. I'm also positive to AUs and "what if" scenarios. Please see my Dear Yuletide Writer-letter (http://nonesane.livejournal.com/41557.html). |
letter |
| Nonesane | Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger | Professor Lyall, Biffy (Parasol Protectorate) | I love it when things I ship become canon and I definitely ship Lyall and Biffy (Professor Lyall is my favorite character in this series). I love their dynamic, I love that Biffy gets to be an Alpha without him being a person that throws his weight around all the time (challenging stereotypes, huzzah!) and I love that Lyall was so happy about Biffy turning out to be an Alpha (consensual D/s dynamics, even more huzzah!). So yeah, a lot of love all around. Would love to see more of them, no matter the rating of the fic. Please see my Dear Yuletide Writer-letter (http://nonesane.livejournal.com/41557.html). |
letter |
| Nonesane | Thundercats (1985) | Tygra (Thundercats) | Tygra was my first ever favorite character and ThunderCats was my first ever fandom. I would love to see something set on Thundera before it was destroyed, to learn even more about what kind of society they had and what role Tygra plaid in it. What was it like growing up as nobility on Thundera? Does nobility there mean the same thing as it does to us humans? Also, love more "realistic" takes on my childhood cartoons; actual blood and death, children that don't just pop out of the ground (what happened to Wilykit and Wilykat's parents?), etc. Please see my Dear Yuletide Writer-letter (http://nonesane.livejournal.com/41557.html). |
letter |
| Nonesane | MoonDreamers | Dream Gazer (MoonDreamers) | Dream Gazer is my favorite MoonDreamers character because of her being calm and wise but not cold or invinsible. In my headcanon she is also trans*, due to her having a very different voice in the Swedish dub I grew up with. But hey that's just my personal ideas about the character. When it comes to my childhood cartoons I'm very interested in more "realistic" takes on the world they live in (i.e. people are actually hurt when injured, exploring politics in the world, culture, children actually having parents and not just popping out of the ground, etc.) I'd love to know more about Dream Gazer, who she came to be where she is now, why only she knows the secret recipe, what the Cosmic Cube actually is, etc. Please see my Dear Yuletide Writer-letter (http://nonesane.livejournal.com/41557.html). |

| norabombay | Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey | Tarma shena Talesedrin, Kethry (Valdemar) | Tarma & Kethry & anyone else you want to add go about doing something awesome. Politics? Magic? an Adventure? Supporting casts? Go for it. I have a not so secret weakness for cracked out crossovers, or just straight up crack. Would prefer if nobody got raped. Other than that? Go forth. |
letter |
| norabombay | Threesome (UK TV) | Mitch Ennis, Alice Heston, Richie Valentine | Any combination of the three doing any thing. Pre series, series or post, Optional Baby is Optional. If Princess Lullabye Dream time could make a cameo appearance, that would be great. All I ask is that Alice, Mitch and Ritchie don't break up, and there is a happy type ending. (or a joke about happy endings, which is pretty in character too) |
letter |
| norabombay | Chess - Rice/Ulvaeus/Andersson | Florence Vassy, Frederick Trumper, Anatoly Sergievsky, The Arbiter | I spent a huge number of eight hour car rides this year going through multiple versions of Chess. Make up a back story, a future. Set it AU, set it in a feasible time point, make it always 1982 in space. Re-interpret "One Night in Bangkok" as Freddie's anthem of asexul superiority. In short: Tell me the Chess story that you have always wanted to tell using the Chess characters that you like best. So long as they are "only teasing soviets, with gentle bonhomie', it's great |
letter |
| norabombay | Let's Go to Prison (2006) | Barry (Let's go to Prison), Nelson Biederman IV | It's Barry and his BabyDuck. This is not the movie I tell people is my favorite? But it is probably in the top three. Nelson and Barry's unexpected love story. Prison politics. The Baby Duck winery. Maybe they get married? Think of the NYTimes wedding write up. I like crack, I like crossovers, and I'd love it if you tell the Prison story that you want to tell. |

You know you want to. You the hottest writer in this place. Tried to domesticate you/ But you're a Yultider/ Baby, it's in your nature/ Just let me liberate you/ Write those crack fics on paper/ MTV is not your maker/ And that's why I'm gonna take a fic/ with you the creator. Do the Dancing Bears have a labor dispute? Is Miley secretly studying to go to law school and eventually become a Supreme Court justice? Does Robin Thicke ever regret his life choices while cashing giant checks? Invent it, or anything else, and I'll be happy. |

Maybe they stay on the planet, maybe they get off the planet. Prompt#3 Kid fic. Zammis is a clone of Jeriba, and Willis keeps seing Jeriba in its personality and mannerisms. Prompt#4 Sex. Jeriba's people don't reproduce sexually, but they use sex for physical pleasure and emotional bonding. Prompt#5 Understanding Human culture. They get rescued, and are aboard a Human ship. Jeriba tries to understand and relate to Humans based on the teachings of Mickey Mouse. I like domesticity. I like exploration of alien worlds, with alien life forms. |

| noracharles | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Captain Frank Irving, Luke Morales | Prompt#1 Frank/Luke slash, combined with any of the following gen prompts. Prompt#2 Case fic. Frank and Luke investigate a crime, supernatural or mundane. Prompt#3 Pranks. Frank is new, and has to figure out how to deal with a bunch of officers upset about losing the sheriff and Andy Brooks. Luke tries to make him feel welcome in his own special way. Prompt#4 Workplace tension. Luke still loves Abbie, and it gets to him having to see her every day at work. Frank's arrival complicates matters. Prompt#5 Civilian alter egos. Frank and Luke meet outside of work in a completely different situation, and it changes how they relate to each other. I like secondary characters in fic, include as many as you like as long as the focus remains on Frank and Luke. I like a bit of political intrigue, so it might be fun to read about Sleepy Hollow being a patchwork of many smaller towns, villages or hamlets, and the Sleepy Hollow PD being many different police departments as well as the sheriff's department which have now been combined. I like spooky supernatural stuff. |
|
| noracharles | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Melinda May | Prompt#1 Maria/Melinda femslash, combined with any of the following gen prompts. Prompt#2 Mole. There is a mole infiltrating SHIELD and Maria and Melinda must catch her or him. Prompt#3 Undercover. Maria and Melinda go undercover among ordinary people. Different situations where they nearly reveal themselves as special would be fun. Prompt#4 Time travel. Maria or Melinda being thrown back in time and deciding to manipulate events for the better or to stop someone evil from changing the time line. Or a Groundhog Day scenario. Prompt#5 Mistaken identity. People keep singing "Let's Go to the Mall" at Maria. Robin Scherbatsky gets caught in a SHIELD operation. Prompt#6 You've Got Mail. Maria and Melinda become close online using pseuds, but have tension at work. I like tropey fic, like amnesia, undercover as a couple, mutually unrequited love, misunderstandings/miscommunication, Sentinel AUs, one is secretly a fairy/alien/mermaid, etc. I like action and fight scenes, strategy and plotting. |
|
| noracharles | Jonathan Creek (TV) | Jonathan Creek, Maddy Magellan | Prompt#1 Case fic. Jonathan and Maddy investigate a new case together. Prompt#2 Maddy stayed. Rewrite a Carla or Joey episode with Maddy instead. Prompt#3 Spooky. Jonathan doesn't believe in the supernatural, but something happens to make him question that. Prompt#4 Misunderstanding. Maddy and Jonathan have a comical misunderstanding or miscommunication, and it goes on for too long. Can be angsty too. I like Maddy and Jonathan to have canon levels of flirtation and UST, but I prefer not to ship them seriously. I like gothic horror. I like humor. |
|
| noracharles | MythBusters RPF | Grant Imahara (MythBusters RPF) | Prompt#1 Grant/robot. Can be crossover character robot or one of the robots he's built. Prompt#2 Grant builds mechas, Kari and/or Tory are pilots. They defend humanity. Prompt#3 Grant is the robot engineer/maintainer of the AI on a spaceship, the MythBusters have adventures in space. Prompt#4 Magical girl AU. Grant is a man, but he transforms into a magical woman and fights evil. Prompt#5 Star Trek. Grant's adventures as an actor in Star Trek. How much is geeky fun and how much is hard work? Are Kari and Tory jealous? Does he have a friendly rivalry with John Cho over who is the better Sulu? Can he stay out of the business of the special effects crew? My OTP is Grant/robot, please don't ship Grant with anyone else. |

| norah | Chronicles of Riddick RPF | Judi Dench (Riddick RPF), Vin Diesel (Riddick RPF) | EPIC TRANSATLANTIC FRIENDSHIP TIEMS. Gen only, please. The relationship between Vin Diesel and Judi Dench is legend in my mind, but it's actually sort of hard to find interviews where they (especially Judi) talk about it. So feel free to make shit up if you can't find enough canon. Rumor has it that he asked for her to get paid 4.5 mil for CoR (it didn't happen). He taught her (and Karl Urban) to play D&D (true) and now she DMs for her grandchildren (unconfirmed rumor AFAIK). Having her teach him to cross-stitch rude things or ... I don't know, anything that showcases their awesome and unlikely friendship is a-ok by me. I'm not actually all that fond of the Riddick movies, so they're mostly an excuse to get the actors in the same room fictionally. | letter |
| norah | Die Kronenklauer | The Crown Snatchers - F. K. Waechter and Bernd Eilert | Robert (Die Kronenklauer), Moritz (Die Kronenklauer), Joanna (Die Kronenklauer), Holger (Die Kronenklauer) | As of the writing of this letter, nobody has offered this fandom, but if you matched me on something else and are now panicking, this is a short, fun read. I've uploaded a scan (to my DW, under the yuletide tag) in multiple formats and it is also available used from Amazon for fairly cheap (it's out of print.) I'd love an ensemble story that shows some of the problems that they run into with the newly instituted anarchy, in canonical style. And then where do they go from there? Feel free to dork out politically if that is your thing; I love a good political allegory. Or just to tell me awesome stories about Moritz, Joanna, Robert, et.al. | |
| norah | Ночные ведьмы | The Night Witches RPF | Yevgeniya Rudneva, Polina Gelman | I actually know very little about the Night Witches beyond what's available in articles online, so go crazy. You want to make an AU where they are pilots in a space war? Be my guest. Make them real witches? Go ahead. Write lesbian romance about the two who became translators after the war? Awesome. Cross them over with Code Name Verity? I hear the sequel does that, but feel free to do it differently. LADIES IN PLANES, is my point. | |
| norah | Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams | Zaphod Beeblebrox | I want a story about Zaphod. Specifically, something that makes his background make sense. Between the hints we get in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe" I am very confused. What secret is he keeping from himself? qSo, a snapshot of him deciding to get/getting the (probably black-market, dodgy) brain surgery, or a criminal romp, or a story about the inner machinations of his presidential campaign, or how people who knew him Before reacted to him After, or... Hitchhiker's canon is vast and diverse, so please note that I hated Mostly Harmless like burning and prefer to believe that it never happened. Also, I haven't read the Eoin Colfer thing and don't consider it canon. Radio plays, TV series, 2005 movie, and infocom game are all in play, though I'd prefer it if you focused on the novels. |

| normativejean | Arrow (TV 2012) | Thea Queen (Arrow TV), Moira Queen (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV), Roy Harper (Arrow TV) | I'm a big fan of gen and friendship, character pieces, adventure, and women being awesome!

| Northern_Star | Baseball RPF | Brett Lawrie, Mark DeRosa | I know I'm totally in the minority, but what can I say? I'm a Blue Jays fan... These two guys seem to have a really great friendship - in fact, the commentators on Sportsnet mentioned it about a million times on air, and how Mark had a calming influence on Brett who's a bit of a hot head (and also crazy good and terribly handsome *whistles innocently*) Any kind of bromance fic will make me happy. If it's slashy it's fine, but it doesn't need to be. |
letter |
| Northern_Star | Olympics RPF | Alexander Ovechkin (Olympics RPF) | Yes, this is totally a backwards way of asking for hockey RPF... Sorry-not-sorry. Give me some Olympics hockey, or a fic that leads up to the Sochi games, and I'll be happy. If you throw in some manner of interaction between Ovie and other NHL'ers that are either at the games or hoping to be (or totally not going to make it and he's teasing them about it, even) then I'll be totally ecstatic. You can slash it up any way you like if you're into that, but you absolutely don't have to. |
letter |
| Northern_Star | The Muppet Show | Kermit (the Muppet Show), Miss Piggy | This is the same request I made a couple years back, but didn't get -- I'm trying my luck again, because...who knows, right? :) I would absolutely kill for some cracky (and/or cheesy) Muppets version of a chick-flick (like "When Kermit Met Piggy" for instance?) -- any romance or rom-com would totally do the trick. |
letter |
| Northern_Star | Sesame Street (TV) | Cookie Monster | You know, I'd like to see him either hosting a cooking show (because LOL!) or being invited to one, or even being in a skit of whatever kind where he's with someone from a cooking show -- I see it starting out really normal and zen(ish) and then turning to utter chaos because he can't help himself and he starts eating everything, or he just turns completely insane because it's cookies they're making... something like that. Or, or, maybe he's written a cook book, and he does a book tour? All I really want is something that'll make me laugh. :) |
letter |
| Northland | The Marrow of the World - Ruth Nichols | How about an exploration of the tangled relationship between Linda & Ygerna, or between Ygerna & her sister Morgan? Or, the haunting illustrations by Trina Schart Hyman were a huge part of why this book made such an impression on young me, so something based on one of them...? | letter | |
| Northland | The Secret Life of Dolls (Web Series) | How does Tonner Edward redeem himself? How does Clarice try to eliminate the Littlest Bella again ('cause you know she's not giving up)? Adventures at the Sparklerosa with the Littlest Edward? p.s. I was limited to nominating four characters, but I love all of the LOTR dolls as well. So feel free to add in any other dolls, if you want to. |
letter | |
| Northland | Crossroads Series - Kate Elliott | A post-series glimpse of Mai being awesome! Kirit discovering more about being a Guardian! But I love the worldbuilding of this series (multiple cultures! giant eagles!) so much that any little piece you want to explore would be wonderful. | letter | |
| Northland | The Wire | Randy Wagstaff | I *need* to know what happens to Randy, and I desperately want some kind of positive resolution for him (within the general worldview of the show -- it doesn't have to be fluffy kittens). | letter |
| Northland | Chronicles of the Kencyrath - P. C. Hodgell | Jamethiel Dream-Weaver | I like seeing Jame negotiate the society of other Kencyrath women as an outsider, whether it's her random cadets or other highborn like Lyra and Kirien. | letter |
| Not From Stars (Shadowcat) | If You See Him - Reba McEntire (song) | Woman (If You See Him), Man (If You See Him), Friend (If You See Him) | This is one of my favorite songs and I would love the story of it. How did the couple break up or why? How close were they to their friend? What does he think of what has happened between them -- or the fact that they both tell him how much they still love each other? Does he decide to do something to get them back together? | letter |
| Not From Stars (Shadowcat) | Colters' Legacy - Maya Banks | Holly Colter, Ryan Colter, Ethan Colter, Adam Colter | I love, love, love this family and this series of books. I would love a slice of life fic with Holly and her men. Or with Holly trying to get past her past nightmares and make peace with herself and everything she was going through before meeting and falling in love with the brothers. A story of Holly with all of the brothers or even one would be so awesome. I'd love a glimpse into Holly's life before Mason and then during her short term marriage with Mason. Hell, I'm horrible and would love to see the brothers get their hands on Mason for what he did to Holly and for what he caused to happen to Ryan and Holly when she was kidnapped. |
letter |
| Not From Stars (Shadowcat) | Primeval: New World | Toby Nance, Mac Rendell | Toby is definitely my favorite character in this show. I love, love Toby and all of her snarkiness that just shows how much she cares about her friends. I would love a fic about the things Toby deals with during an anomaly call or as she waits for all of her team to come back after a really intense call. I'm also a diehard Toby/Mac shipper and would love anything with them -- even their reunion when Toby gets out of the hospital or Mac is finally found and brought back to them. |
letter |
| Not From Stars (Shadowcat) | Secret Circle (TV) | Cassie Blake, Faye Chamberlain, Jake Armstrong, Nick Armstrong | I would love a fic that undoes Nick's death and pairs him up with Faye and Jake with Cassie. Or maybe there's a threesome between Faye/Jake/Cassie. I'd love to see them working together on a spell and trying to deal with the fact that Diana ran off and left them for awhile. The series ended suddenly and unsatisfactorily and there are so many things that could be added to their story post the last episode of the show. |
letter |
| Not From Stars (Shadowcat) | Black Ships - Jo Graham | Gull (Black Ships), Xandros (Black Ships), Aeneas (Black Ships) | This is one of my favorite books of all time and I would love to have a fic where the three of them do manage to work out a relationship between the three of them because they do love each other so much. Loving each other doesn't mean that they shirk their duty, though, because that wouldn't be true to who they are if they did that. They are three points of a triangle and are aware of such. | letter |
| Not From Stars (Shadowcat) | Fast and the Furious Series | Mia Toretto, Brian O'Conner, Gisele Harabo, Han Lue | I would love a fix-it fic for the last movie, Fast 6. It was obvious that Mia and Gisele were close friends and I would love to see the four friends doing something together. Let them just be the four friends together and having fun without people trying to kill them. There is so much back story or even current story where they could be explored and enjoyed. I just want a happy or hopeful ending fic that doesn't end with Gisele dead and Han, Mia and Brian in mourning. It doesn't have to be incredibly complicated, as long as the four are together. | letter |

| novelized | My Heartbeat - Garret Freymann-Weyr | James Wentworth, Link McConnell | heartbeat is one of my all-time favorite books, and i was thrilled to see it made it to yuletide this year! i absolutely love the relationship between link and james, how perfectly they worked together, how james once said that compared to link, men and women simply didn't interest him. i'd love to read both about the good times and the bad times between them. the book left a lot of room for interpretation in their relationship, and i would love for you to fill in those gaps. | letter |
| novelized | Nashville (TV) | Will Lexington | i'm a recent nashville fan, and i'll admit will lexington was the reason i started watching. i think he's absolutely fascinating, and i hope you can take the idea of a closeted country singer and run with it! i'm totally fine with this fic taking place before, during, or after current canon. i think this fic demands a certain amount of angst, but i'd love if there was some happiness involved too. he deserves happiness. whether or not he gets to remain happy in the end... that bit is totally up to you. | letter |
| novelized | Smash (TV) | Kyle Bishop | KYLE. BISHOP. how i loved you so. kyle was incredibly underrated and underutilized, and i need fic to fix that pronto. there's so much about kyle that we don't know, and i'd love for you to fill those gaps! i'd really just love to see some facets of kyle the show never gave us, and anything else is totally up to you. | letter |
| novelized | Catfish: The TV Show RPF | Nev Schulman, Max Joseph | NEV AND MAX. i don't even know what to say about these two, except that they're perfect and they belong together forever and ever. even if it's just platonic!!! their relationship kills me in all the best ways, and i need fic like i need air. | letter |
| novelized | The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky | Brad (Perks of Being a Wallflower), Patrick (Perks of Being a Wallflower) | brad and patrick have the most interesting relationship in the book, in my opinion, and what i like is that there is plenty of room for interpretation. they go on a rollercoaster throughout the story, and i'd be happy with a fic taking place on any part of that ride. there's tons of freedom here, i would just really love to read a fic where it's brad and patrick from one of their POVs, not from charlie's. so we can see what they're really like when they're alone. | letter |
| novembersmith | Free! | Nanase Haruka, Matsuoka Rin | I love all of the characters to bits, but Rin is by far and away the swimming drama llama of my heart. ANYTHING that gives me more of him will make me intensely, incredibly happy. Fic focused on one of the drama CD log incidents? Letters from Australia he never sent? Soulbonding/telepathy? Pacific Rim!AU? Vulcan!Haru obsessing over water and also his very human captain and/or fellow student (who is obsessed with living up to his dad's legacy)? Tsuritama AU with actual!fish!Haru? Go nuts, seriously! I'd love anything from AUs to trope fic to missing scenes to future fic. As far as shipping goes, I ship Haru/Rin HARD, but if that's not your cup of tea, please don't feel obligated to write shippy fic! I'd be delighted for anything that gives me more of these characters and their dynamic, friendship or otherwise. |
letter |
| novembersmith | Hockey Twitter Accounts | @LAKings, @BlueJacketsNHL | o, a high school AU of all the NHL twitter personalities would be amazing. Or they could all be actual hockey players in some random team (LOGISTICS: IGNORED). Or maybe avatars/sprites in a cyberworld like ReBoot? Or maybe they come to life in our world through some wacky magical hijiniks! But yes, basically, all that aside, I really just want a happy ending for my favorite teammance. LA and Lumbus are my twitter OTP and I just want them to be together forever. Maybe LA starts tentatively flirting with a new team, and Lumbus discovers that they... actually... really mind? More than they thought they would? But seriously, whatever works for you! I just want them to wind up together and happy and however that happens floats my boat so hard you don't even know. |
letter |
| novembersmith | On The Importance of Space Travel - Svetlana Chmakova (Comic) | MORE PLEASE. But wow, that's unhelpful, so: I'd love a prequel, about Jeannie's Mom and Dad meeting and falling in love. Or backstory for why they're separated and on Earth now. Or the story of the POOR TEACHER, whose horrified face and outstretched arms continue to engender all the sympathy from me. Or just MORE OF JEANNIE AND NATHAN, playing video games and growing up together and saving the world. Or just surviving high school. I'd love Nathan the Popular Kid with his Secret Mineralogy Geekery and Oddball Jeannie to be best friends forever. I'd love Nathan to have a crush on her for years then find out she's actually a princess and OH GOD HE ISN'T WORTHY HE'S THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE IN THE UNIVERSE OH FUCK. I'd love him to become her bodyguard/captain of the guard/staunch defender. So, uh, yeah. BASICALLY, MORE PLEASE. Please don't make Nathan out to be an irredeemable asshole, but I can't think of much (besides, like, angst and deathfic for the kids) that wouldn't send me over the moon for this fandom. |
letter | |
| novembersmith | Paleontology RPF | Edward Drinker Cope (Paleontology RPF), Othniel Charles Marsh (Paleontology RPF) | The rivalry between these two paleontologists cracks me up. It's just so over-the-top and ludicrous! I'd love maybe some seething letters penned between them, or a series of notes to a scientific journal, or even the correspondence of their colleagues, writing to say "WTF HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT COPE'S DONE NOW???" So, yes. The bone wars! Lots of backstabbing and intrigue and two dudes being TOTALLY RIDICULOUS for basically no reason, even though they started out as friends! THEY USED TO NAME FOSSILS AFTER EACH OTHER. Now they eviscerate each other in print and destroy each other's fossil sites. And to be honest, I wouldn't turn down some slash. I mean. Come on. Cope left Marsh HIS SKULL IN HIS WILL, SO THE QUESTION OF WHO WAS SMARTER COULD BE ANSWERED ONCE AND FOR ALL. That is some strong feelings, there. Brings to mind that one Kate Beaton comic about the beloved nemeses. Anyway, there's so much to play with here, please feel free to go nuts and follow where inspiration leads you! |
letter |
| novembersmith | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | William Laurence, Tenzing Tharkay | THARKAY THARKAY THARKAY. I mean, uh. Yes, I would like some more Tharkay, please. I'd love for fic set during Blood of Tyrants, but I'm honestly happy for more Tharkay from any point in the series. For one thing, what was he up to the entirety of Book 7 ? But seriously oh god the AMNESIA PLOTLINE in Book 8, what a goddamned gift to fandom. I'd love some post-rescue hurt/comfort, or Tharkay being tortured alone in the caves and what he was thinking/feeling then, or maaaaybe even some Laurence brooding over Little and Granby and wondering about his feelings toward Tharkay and if maybe they're not so platonic after all? OR ALL OF THE ABOVE. As far as romance goes: I really really REALLY prefer Tharkay/Laurence. I love how they're so well-suited temperamentally, how they respect each other, how LAURENCE RECOGNIZES HIM i perish from feelings. If this is not your cup of tea/doesn't fit your headcanon, though, strong friendshipfic is more than fine! |

| Noxnoctisanima | Dogma (1999) | Loki (Dogma), Bartleby (Dogma), Metatron (Dogma), Bethany Sloane | I would love one of two stories: 1.

| Noxnoctisanima | Trauma (TV) | Tyler Briggs (Trauma), Cameron Boone (Trauma) | omething for Tyler/Cameron, working on the discomfort Cameron felt about Tyler's sexuality being more about his discomfort with his own feelings. Or if you can't do slash, brofic. | letter |

| obedeer | Cavendish Home for Boys & Girls - Claire Legrand | Victoria Wright, Lawrence Prewitt | I loved Victoria and Lawrence's interactions. I came out of the book seriously shipping the two. I would love to see post-canon fic featuring their city adventures now that Victoria's attending uni and Lawrence's in music school. Or, if Alternate Universes are more your style—Hogwarts AU where Victoria is sorted into Ravenclaw, Lawrence into Hufflepuff; Pushing Daisies AU featuring Victoria as our Ned and Lawrence, Chuck; Teen Wolf AU where the freshly bitten Victoria discovers Lawrence is her anchor after she prevented a surprise transformation during gym class. Expanded wishes can be found in my Yuletide letter! |

| ocelotspots | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | I'd love a brotp fic for these two. Not romantic but just fighting evil and being adorable. I think they are great partners and I'd love to see that dynamic explored. I love chosen family as a concept, so them learning to trust each other would be also very cool. If you really do want to write a romancey story, I wouldn't mind like an awkward first date maybe, they go to a movie together but neither of them are sure it's a date. | letter |
| ocelotspots | The Lynburn Legacy - Sarah Rees Brennan | Jared Lynburn, Kami Glass | I'd love any fic about Jared and Kami, past, present, or future. I love the way they rely on each other. I love how complex and lovely both of these characters are. Their insecurities and their totally wonderful and adorable love for one another. | letter |
| ocelotspots | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Molly Carpenter | Harry and Molly have my favorite relationship in the Dresden Files. So complicated and delicious. I totally wouldn't say no to a fic where they finally give in and get it on, but that is by no means a requirement. Anything where they are working together and being awesome is fine by me. Anytime during the stories is fine as well, I don't have a preference for anything up to date in canon or anything. | letter |
| ocelotspots | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz | Fitz-Simmons are the most adorable part of Shield. I'd love to see some imagined back story for them. Them arguing as grad students or awkwardly finding out how well they work together. I'd prefer no romance, just them and their greatest love, science. | letter |
| Ocianne | Magic Kaitou | Hakuba Saguru | guru has made so few appearances in the canon, I'd love to see something filling in the between times. Cases? Family? He doesn't want to arrest Kid after all, so stopped chasing? Some other fandom's insanity swept him up, and "studying in England" is a cover story? I love his brilliance and liminal nature, and there's so many secrets he could be hiding behind a smug façade... Friendship or pairing with Kaito, Aoko, Akako, or any crossovers are love. | letter |
| Ocianne | Final Fantasy VI | Edgar Roni Figaro(Final Fantasy VI), Locke Cole (Final Fantasy VI) | Friendship interaction of any sort would be nifty. Maybe their first meeting? Did one recruit the other into the Returners? Did Locke know Sabin, to commiserate with Edgar about missing him? Did Edgar ever confide the woes of kingship? Did Locke ever steal Edgar away from the most boring policy meeting on the planet? Or after the game ends, does Lock ever visit Figaro to reminisce or shoot the breeze or maybe pull of the king-heist? Any additional characters that wander into the story are welcome. | letter |
| Ocianne | Bourne Legacy (2012) | Aaron Cross, Marta Shearing | Backstory fic that explores the process of Ken becoming Aaron, or maybe Aaron and Marta making new identities after the movie ends? I like gen or the Marta/Aaron pairing, nothing explicit. | letter |
| Ocianne | Tales of Vesperia | Yuri Lowell, Flynn Scifo, Raven (Tales of Vesperia), Estellise Sidos Heurassein | Post-game shenanigans, backstory, missing scenes, take your pick. I like just about anything that's introspective, vaguely plotful, or character-motivation-exploring. Flynn and Yuri have a great friendly rivalry, and I'm a sucker for the rules-based, sweet and earnest but stuck with an awful commander situation Flynn is stuck in. I'd prefer to see pretty much anything gen with the two of them as focus, but the other characters are great too. | letter |
| octopedingenue | Princess Tutu | I love metafiction with all my heart. (And so do you, for we both love Princess Tutu!) Tell me a meta-licious story about the city of Gold Crown Town, that strange not-Nördlingen: its people and architecture and secrets and buttered pastries. In Gold Crown Town, what are the differences between its maps and its territories? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map%E2%80%93territory_relation#.22The_map_is_not_the_territory.22 |

| octopedingenue | Undead is Very Hot Right Now series - Sarah Rees Brennan | Christian (Undead is Very Hot Right Now series) | The thing I love about these stories is that they are the perfect beautiful comedy-vampire-AU-fic for your favorite pop band that never existed, and the result is hilarious and adorable. So please take the most delicious, fluffy, epic crackfic tropes (that aren't MPREG), apply them liberally to 4 the One, and run with them like they're on fire. Plot suggestion: someone in the band falls in love with a mermaid-groupie, a la the Mermaid of Zennor, and everyone makes questionable life choices. BECAUSE THEY WOULD. |
letter |
| octopedingenue | John Dies at the End - David Wong | Amy Sullivan, John Cheese, David Wong | Amy is my favorite. I'd really love to see more of her and John interacting and even becoming friends. I would also be pleased by an OT3! An even more optional optional request: it'd be neat to see a bit of Replica David being Not Quite Human (superpowers!!! ...probably stupid superpowers, sorry David) and Amy & John being just fine with that. | letter |
| octopedingenue | Literary RPF | John Polidori (Literary RPF), Lord Byron (Literary RPF), Percy Shelley (Literary RPF), Mary Shelley (Literary RPF) | I need the infamous Byron-Shelley lake trip written as it was always meant to be: a loosely-based-on-a-true-story-if-you-squint-at-it, hysterically melodramatic French farce black comedy, with elaborate rounds of revenge-plotting and cock-blocking and people having the vapors. FOR GREAT LITERATURE! Basically, I want a story that celebrates the sublime of the Romantic literati going hand-in-hand with the ridiculous (perhaps with Mary Shelley as the facepalming Only Sane Woman). You can write it in the style/language of the time period, in Hark A Vagrant-style anachronistic informality, whatever you have the most fun with. |

| octopedingenue | Red 2 (2013) | Han Cho Bai, Victoria Winslow (Red 2) | I could honestly watch an entire series of films with the premise of "Han is exasperated and adorable, Victoria is magnificent and bloodthirsty, together they fight cri--snark and explode things and hurt people." That's it. That's all I need from this fic, and possibly from life. If you'd like something more in the way of plot: Perhaps Han (who's not really that bad a guy for an international assassin) is struggling with an emotional crisis of woe now that he has neither fancy plane nor revenge against Frank to look forward to, and finding new ways to kill people for money has lost its luster. So Victoria (who is exactly that bad a guy and more) tries to help by taking him under her wing and giving well-meaning, terrible personal advice, and then they make life choices that are a danger to themselves and others. With a happy ending! | letter |
| octopedingenue | Arrow (TV 2012) | Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV), Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), John Diggle (Arrow TV), Thea Queen (Arrow TV) | Go Team Arrow! I would love warm, snarky casefic, with at least one (awkward) conversation between Felicity and Thea. Ship-wise, I lean Oliver/Felicity, but I am happy with any ship or with gen fic. Plot ideas: please take some beautiful superhero-genre-plot-cliche and embrace it with enthusiasm. For example, I've always had a weakness for easily-solved sexy amnesia, a la wham bam VILLAIN GAS! Oliver forgets his entire life, or at least the last 6-7 years, and is all, "What do you mean it's 2013? And wow, I can break concrete with my abs!" while Felicity and Diggle are like "GAAAHHHH SECRETS BAD GAAAHHHH." Not that amnesia is required! I just crave tropetastic goodness. | letter |

| omphale23 | Le Roman de Silence | The Romance of Silence | Silence (Le Roman de Silence), Noreture (Le Roman de Silence), Nature (Le Roman de Silence), Eufemie (Le Roman de Silence) | I'd love anything at all set in this story. I adore the ways that later Arthurian works play with roles, and gender, and expectations, and while I don't necessarily agree with the ending, I'd love to see what happens after the poem ends. With that said, I'd equally love anything set during the poem's action, whether it be Silence's travels or childhood or quest to find Merlin. If you love this poem enough to write about it, I'm sure I'd love to read what you come up with. |
letter |
| omphale23 | Nordwand | North Face (2008) | Toni Kurz, Andi Hinterstoisser, Luise Fellner, Henry Arau | Leaving aside all the potentially dodgy rewriting of history that this movie involved, I couldn't help but be caught up in the narrative that it crafted. I'd love to see more of Toni and Andi's climbs, whether with Luise or without. And while I recognize that Henry is not meant to be a sympathetic character, I think there's more to him than the movie shows. Mostly, though, what happens next? We know that Luise lives on, that she does other amazing things, so what are they? What does she take with her, and what does she leave behind? |
letter |
| omphale23 | Annabel Scheme - Robin Sloan | Annabel Scheme, Hugin Nineteen, Fadi Azer, Jack Zapp | When people question whether fanfic can be real literature, I point to this. Because it's such a perfect construction of original text and cultural characters that it leaves me speechless. I want to crawl inside the universe that's been created here, and figure it out. And I can't think of a better way to do that than by building on it in some way. I'll leave it totally up to you what that might entail, though. I have no idea, honestly. |
letter |
| omphale23 | The Hebrew Hammer | Mordechai Jefferson Carver, Mohammed Ali Paula Abdul Rahim, Esther Bloomenbergensteinenthal, Tiny Tim (Hebrew Hammer) | I have an alarm set on my phone to remind me to nominate this for Yuletide every year, because when I forget I spend all of November sad that I didn't at least TRY to bring the further adventures of these characters into the world. I like to think that they get together (yes, even Tiny Tim) to form the world's most bad-ass, dysfunctional, AWESOME team of crimefighters EVER. Because they would, and they would be so good at it that oppression and the status quo would crumble without even knowing what had happened. All while snarking and having hot poly relationships, hopefully. |
letter |
| omphale23 | Rock of Ages (2012) | Stacee Jaxx, Drew Boley, Sherrie Christian | I have seen this movie five times. And every time, I reach the end and cannot understand how anyone doesn't see that clearly what happens next is that touring leads to Stacee, Constance, Drew, and Sherrie raising a bunch of adorably well-adjusted children who grow up on the road, watching their parents all cohabitate and fill in the gaps for each other. Conclusion: found family is the best family, and I'd love to see how these characters, with all their flaws and foibles and possibilities, manage to navigate the world together. |
letter |
| omphale23 | The Newsroom (US TV) | MacKenzie McHale, Sloan Sabbith, Maggie Jordan, Hallie Shea | It's not that I don't love WIll and Jim and Don and all the rest. It's just that, for once, Sorkin has managed to create a set of female characters who are complete in themselves, and I would really like to see them when they aren't orbiting around the men in their lives--all of whom are the definition of hot mess, and none of whom are as interesting as these women are on their own merits. Is all. I mean, I would be opposed to seeing other characters, I really wouldn't. But all of these women have their own stories, before or after or outside the ones we see on screen, and I'd really, really like to read about those. |
letter |
| oneiriad | The Almighty Johnsons | Olaf Johnson | Basically, I'd like all the Grandpa Olaf fic, because he fascinates me as a character, and I really think the show has never used him to the fullest (though I am enjoying him as an unreliable narrator in Gods Among Us). I mean, he's 90+ years old - imagine all the things he's seen and done. Where has he been, who has he met (Methos? Helen Magnus? Steve Rogers?). Tell me stories about him - how was it like to be a brand new Baldr and fighting in a war against the Nazis (and their crazy Norse myth fanboyism)? He mentions having seen a god die before - who? When and why did he start surfing and doing drugs? How did he meet Tigilau? Or you can go post-season 3 - does he end up in a happy OT3 with Ingrid and Stacy (yes please)? How does he cope with aging and mortality? | letter |
| oneiriad | Crazy Christmas Cabaret - London Toast Theatre | Do you know what would be awesome? A Viking themed Crazy Christmas Cabaret tale, that would be awesome. With Dr. van Helsingør and his mangled Danglish, and the Dame in full-scale Wagner valkyrie mode, and historically incorrect horned helmets and lurs, and bad puns and maybe an abducted English monk and everything. That would be awesome. | letter | |
| oneiriad | Freddy & Monstrene - Dennis Jürgensen | Freddy (Freddy & Monstrene) | I'd love a story about Freddy as a grown-up - possibly having finally convinced/been convinced that no, he didn't run around with a bunch of monsters as a boy - reencountering the gang. Though truth be told, I'll love you to bits for almost anything in this fandom. | letter |
| oneiriad | Lig og laurbær - Kim Marthedal | Troy Anthonsen, Adam Rasmussen | Post-canon fluff. Post-canon curtain fic. Post-canon figuring out how to work as a couple. Basically, happy not-bloody-Scandinavian-noir post-canon fic. | letter |
| oneiriad | Paintings - Otto Frello | I adore this painter's work - have for years - and I'd love to know what's going on. Is this a fantasy world, magical and mystical? Is it science fiction? Another planet? Another dimension? Our world on the other side of a singularity? A utopia? | letter | |
| oneiriad | Vikings (TV) | Rollo (Vikings) | Here's a truth: I adore Rollo. Yes, he is big and mean and nasty and grumpy, but - he is so much more. The character I see is interesting. Yes, he can be unpleasant - but he can also be kind and he is loyal, especially within a group (gods help you, though, if you're not in the group - then there's obviously no guarantees of anything, as that poor slavegirl found out, but that's not the aspect I'm interested in) - loyal to family, loyal to his warband. Loyal to his brother - and yes, I do believe he's loyal and until I see an actual knife in Ragnar's back, I will maintain that they've used that ruse before. Does he have issues - oh, tons, with his younger brother always being the one everybody looks to and who got the girl and everything. I just don't think that is enough to ultimately compromise his loyalty. Anyway, basically I just want all the Rollo fic. What does he do? I mean, yes, he's a Viking, but that was a part-time thing - Ragnar's a farmer, Floki's a shipwright - what does Rollo do? Is he a trader? A craftman? A weaponsmith, perhaps? Is he an ulfhednar? Or you could write me some (consensual) Rollo/Athelstan fic (or Rollo & Athelstan), because I'd love to see those two interacting more - maybe a story where Rollo's family loyalty is shown to extend to this odd addition to Ragnar's household? Or a tale of Rollo deciding to learn more about this new god he all but swore himself to and proceeding to freaking out poor Athelstan by taking to stalking him? Or maybe just Rollo hugging Athelstan? I don't know why, but I suspect Rollo-hugs must be awesome. | letter |
| Opaline_pen | Fushigi Yuugi | Chichiri, Tasuki, Mitsukake | Anything Chichiri/Tasuki or Chichiri/Mitsukake. Ideally slash, friendship too. Anything that takes place before or after the anime/manga. | |
| Opaline_pen | Cats - Andrew Lloyd Webber RPF | John Partridge, Jacob Brent, Michael Gruber | Maybe a love triangle between these three characters, or just some John/Jacob? | |
| Opaline_pen | Hellboy (Movies) | Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Johann Krauss | I would LOVE some Abe/Hellboy slash. If not, then a good friendship adventure story. Something where Abe is in grave danger and Hellboy saves him. | |
| Opaline_pen | Earth: Final Conflict | Da'an, Liam Kincaid | omething with Da'an and Liam. Romance or friendship, your choice. I'd love a good action story! | |
| opalmatrix | Alliance-Union - C. J. Cherryh | Di Janz, Jurgen Graff, Meg Kady, Signy Mallory | I love the camaraderie under fire of the Earth Company ships (and in the case of Norway, the Alliance), and the attempt to keep their humanity. Also, Meg and Graff are two of my favorite characters anywhere, ever. I have written several stories in this 'verse myself, so you might want to take that into account. | letter |
| opalmatrix | Cyteen Series - C. J. Cherryh | Justin Warrick (Cyteen), Grant ALX-972 (Cyteen), Catlin AC-7892 II (Cyteen), Florian AF-9979 II (Cyteen) | My favorite things here are Justin and Grant's relationship. I only know of one explicit piece about them, so more would be welcome - or something warm and cuddly and just between them - or something angsty: hurt/comfort is one of my things. Second-favorite is Florian II and Catlin II: their take on the world of born-men, their education, and their companion/lover relationship. Finally: perhaps Ari II/Catlin II/Florian II threesome? Ari is very possessive, but the three of them have come close to it a number of times. | letter |
| opalmatrix | Black Lagoon | Eda (Black Lagoon), Rebecca "Revy", Okajima "Rock" Rokuro, Bai Ji-Shin Chang | Eda is my favorite, and she doesn't seem to get a huge amount of love. I love her crazy schemes, and also secret background, which seems so at odds with her public persona in Roanapur. (And I'm interested in just what her deal with Yolanda is, and what they think of each other.) I'm also a big Rock/Revy shipper, although I think it will take a long time for them to confess what they're feeling for each other (Revy keeps trying to hint at it, but Rock is clueless). Finally, I love the rest of the Lagoon Traders, and many of the other characters (Shenhua, Sawyer, Chang), so cameos from them would be appreciated. | letter |
| opalmatrix | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | October "Toby" Daye, May Daye, Raj (Toby Daye), Quentin (Toby Daye) | I'm not at all sure where the series is going, so the request here is for missing scenes and side stories during the current canon. Toby and May's cracky domestic arrangements (or how about a shopping trip? I'm not into clothes myself, so I really appreciate Toby's point of view on this ...), for example, or a boys' night out for Quentin and Raj with some sort of unexpected adventure. Other favorite characters whom it would be nice to see in cameos are The Luidaeg, April, Tybalt, Danny MacReady, and Jazz. (I love Toby and Tybalt together, but this is presumably going to be aA Thing in canon, so I don't want too much that could be overrun by the author herself.) | letter |
| opalmatrix | Chronicles of the Kencyrath - P. C. Hodgell | Jame Knorth, Tirandys (Kencyrath), Jamethiel Dream-Weaver, Kindrie Soul Walker | Jame Jame Jame! I have loved this character for more than 30 years now. The moments in Dark of the Moon where she encounters Tirandys again are heartbreaking. How about some of their history together, in Perimal Darkling? Or some history between Jame and her mother, or Tirandys and the Dream-Weaver? I also love Jame's prickly relationship with Nightshade. Perhaps a missing scene between them at Tentir? Finally, I love Kindrie, and no one seems to appreciate him properly. The scene where Jame manages to get him back together and he briefly sees Bane and is greeted by him as "little cousin" really touched me. Does Bane ever contact him again? (Please *don't* hook Kindrie up with Torisen. It's the last thing either of them need.) | letter |
| opalmatrix | Wild Adapter | Kubota Makoto, Tokito Minoru, Kou (Wild Adapter), Kasai (Wild Adapter) | Big fan of Kubota/Tokito here (either way: flexibility is a good thing). Some cracky slice of life, first-time actual sex, hurt-comfort when Toki has flashbacks or pain from his hand, or when Kubota's past catches up with him - again. I also have a yen for an encounter or situation between Kasai and Kou, both of whom I like a lot. I can't see them ever really trusting each other, but some scenario involving a problem with the boys, where the detective and the doctor have to work together, would be wonderful. Finally, I love a number of the other secondary characters: Anna, Takizawa, Shouta, and Saori are special favorites. Cameos by them in stories about my official requests would be wonderful. (I am not nearly so fond of the various Yakuza thugs, except for Ryuunosuke, and we know what happens to him.) | letter |
| Opalsong | Slayers (Anime & Manga) | Zelgadis Greywords | Ah, the fandom of my youth. This (along with Sailor Moon) was my first fandom and Zelgadis was my first love. I'm not even sure what I really want out of this except more Slayers fic. I will note that I haven't seen Revolution. Maybe I want something about Zel's relationship with his body? Learning to love it? I'm a giant fan of him and Xellos but I also like him and Amelia providing that she's written well and has grown up a bit. Shennanigans? I have no idea. Sorry for the lack of help. Note that this is a fandom where an AU is 100% A-Okay with me (though not neccessary of course). | letter |
| Opalsong | Twisted Princess (Disney Fanart) | Fa Mulan (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Pocahontas (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Aurora (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Belle (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01) | You know how in my long-winded intro I said I don't like depressing stuff. Well, that doesn't mean I don't like dark stuff - particularly for this fandom. Especially if it is positive for the Princess - if not for anyone else :) I've given you 4 Princesses to choose from (the max allowed). I'd love to know their stories. The closer you can get to Fairy Tale/Folklore type writing, the more over the moon I'll be (I'll be up there just getting your story to begin with). I will leave it up to you to come up with the stories but I'm sure there are folk tales from all of these cultures about female spirits/killers/creatures that can also add inspiration if you need it. | letter |
| Opalsong | Fast and the Furious Series | Dominic Toretto, Brian O'Conner, Luke Hobbs, Gisele Harabo | I really see Dom as, well, a dom (in the BDSM sense). Or if he isn't then he has the potential to be one (and a good one at that). I'd really love a fic exploring that. I went into the fifth and sixth movies waiting for the dominance-off between Dom and Luke and it... never really happened? Luke tries but as my friend said during one of their face off scenes "a little sub-drop happens to everyone." I'd love a fic that explores Luke and subspace (maybe him integrating into Dom's family). One last porny/cracky idea: everyone in Dom's family (minus his sister because opposite gender incest is not my thing) is actually his sub and watching Brian integrate into that (and become top dog of the harem) would be neat (or watching anyone else integrate too). One note about this fandom: I'm not that into cars (I know right) so if you go in great detail about what they're driving or fixing etc. I'm going to be lost. | letter |
| Opalsong | Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time | Link (Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time) | Oh my childhood. I love this game. The one thing it totally glosses over is the fact that Link goes from 10 years old to 17 while he's asleep. He goes through puberty while sleeping. I'd love fic about this. The fic can be anything from him constantly tripping over things because he's suddenly taller to getting hit on and not realizing it to porn (because sex drive now, also major virgin kink if that's the way you want to go with things). I would really really love a fic where Link has body disphoria (doesn't feel like his body is his) and feels super uncomfortable in his body but powers through to save the world. I just really want fic about Link being suddenly stuck in an adult body. | letter |
| Opalsong | Queen's Blade | Leina Vance | Okay, confession time. As of writing this I have seen only partway through the second season of the Original Queen's Blade anime. I'm going to go back and watch more so I might come back and edit this after. Please don't let this stop you from writing post season 2 fic, just put a warning about it at the top and I'll make sure to have watched that far before I begin reading. I don't know anything about the non-original Queen's Blade series so please stick to that. ugh okay, now onto the fun bit. This is a fandom where I'm not sure what I even want. I want ladies being awesome mostly. Also ladies getting it on. That's pretty much it. Sorry about the lack of guidance. I'd love for the ladies not only to be strong in the beating people up sense but also just be strong people or characters. | letter |
| Opalsong | Saints Row | The Boss (Saints Row), Kinzie Kensington, Matt Miller | This Game!!!! This is not the kind of game I am normally into. Not at all. But then I tried Saint's Row 4 at a friend's house and promptly borrowed 2-4 and beat them all in the space of 2 weeks. I'd love for a fic set mid-game 4 or post-game 4. Now, I played through with my boss a blonde barbie-esque woman whose gang (family) was the highest priority with revenge as a close second. She had the first lady voice option. I completely understand if that is not your head-canon version of the Boss; however, I ask that if it isn't please don't write about her/him. I'd also love fic about Kinzie and her awesome hacking or Matt and his hilarious fanboy ways. Though, if you write a fic with Jane Austin in it/writing it, I think I would die. (from happiness and joy) | letter |

| opheliahyde | American Gods - Neil Gaiman | Bast (American Gods - Neil Gaiman), Shadow (American Gods) | Ever since I finished American Gods, I couldn't stop thinking about Shadow and Bast's relationship and how much they intrigue me and how I just want more of it. They kind of accidentally became my OTP and I have been searching for fic about them for ages, but to no avail. I'd absolutely adore anything for them from simply just the two of them interacting again to something romantic happening to just gen about them separately. If you'd like a prompt, I'd love to see a story that takes place after Shadow has traveled the world a while, yet he finds his way back to Mr. Ibis and Jaquel's funeral parlor and settles back into life there, finding himself a makeshift family and home amongst the Egyptian gods. Or exploring the ramifications of her taking his heart when he died (and why she wanted his heart, I have a lot of feelings about the symbolism of that), or how he felt about her knowing exactly what he wanted—peace. | letter |
| opheliahyde | Evil Dead (2013) | Mia (Evil Dead 2013), David (Evil Dead 2013), Eric (Evil Dead (2013)) | I adored this remake far more than I thought I would, and it was the strength of the relationship between Mia and David that really sold me. I'd love a rewrite of the ending, where David somehow lives and together, they have to rebuild their lives and deal with the trauma of what happened afterwards. Maybe a roadtrip-style fic where they travel for a while looking for a place to settle? Or, maybe, a backstory fic, about their sick mother and how David abandoned Mia and her both, something centering about those issues between them or Mia's drug addiction. I ship them a lot, so if you want to write angsty twisted codependent incest either post-film while they're recovering from the trauma, or pre-film as some kind of dark secret between them, I'd be all over it but it's totally not necessary if you're uncomfortable. I added Eric because he was a character who stood out to me and I just wanted more. I would also love fic about David and Eric. I ship them, so I'm looking for some sad backstory break up fic here—I thought there was such bitterness to their dynamic in the film and Eric's anger with David felt really personal, so I'd love to read about what happened to make him so bitter, or what their relationship was like before it fell apart. Fill in the blanks, if you will, but if that's not your cup of tea, that's totally okay, I'd be pleased with a gen version of that, or fic about Eric's relationship to Mia and how he knows these two siblings. If you're for it, I'd love an AU where Eric manages to survive the ordeal along with Mia and David and how they recover afterwards and put themselves back together—if you're really daring, I'd love a threesome there as part of that recovery, but only if you're comfortable. |
letter |
| opheliahyde | Interview With the Vampire (1994) | Louis de Pointe du Lac, Lestat de Lioncourt | This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I would love an AU of the film where when Louis finds Lestat weak and helpless, he stays and helps him recover and how their relationship grows from there. Or an AU post the movie, where Lestat turns Daniel and they stalk Louis on-and-off for a decade or two while Daniel balks. If that doesn't work, I'd really love anything between Lestat/Louis from the movie—a missing scene, a first time, a slice of life moment, something explicit about Lestat being into Louis and Louis falling in love against his better judgment or conscience. I'd really prefer something shippy here, even if it's just a kiss. Basically, please make the subtext text. For this prompt, I'd prefer you stick to movie canon only—I like the books, but I'd rather keep it in a self-contained movie verse rather than anger Anne Rice. | letter |
| opheliahyde | Graceland (TV) | Mike Warren, Paige Arkin, Johnny Tuturro | I really love the warm, happy, and familiar dynamic these three have, especially early to middle of the season when they were helping Mike adjust to being undercover and both trying to convince Mike to confide in them. The "she can't adopt you, Mike, because we've already adopted you—you're ours" line made me want ANY kind of threesome fic between them, so I'd love to read fic where they seduce him at some point together, or more fic about them helping Mike be an undercover agent, or maybe some kind of h/c threesome after Mike is wounded. It doesn't have to be an explicitly porny threesome, just OT3 vibes and dynamics or kisses would make me happy. I'd also love to read about Johnny/Mike—either some kind of first time fic, or Johnny dealing with Mike being a spy in Graceland, and how they work that out or what changes for them. Or I'd take something exploring Paige's feelings towards Mike, especially given that they kissed—did they do anything more before he left for Washington? What are the feelings there between them? Or, maybe, something exploring the time period where she was helping Mike spy against the house would be interesting and great. I'd also be happy with Johnny/Paige, since their cute almost sibling-esque dynamic makes me happy and I'd love to see something exploring that—maybe a fic where Johnny takes her up on her slightly joking offer for sex or a friends with benefits thing between them, or even just them being adorable friends. Gen about any of these three and their friendships would work for me, too. | letter |
| opheliahyde | The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) | Charlie Kelmeckis, Patrick (The Perks of Being a Wallflower 2012), Candace Kelmeckis | I would really adore Charlie/Patrick fic—maybe future-fic where Charlie keeps in touch with Patrick and Sam throughout college, with letters and emails and visits, and slowly begins to develop feelings for Patrick? Perhaps later summers they spend together while Patrick is off school, or something from the other side, exploring Patrick's feelings towards Charlie, either during the scene where he kisses him or in the future—I'd love to see Charlie reciprocating some time down the line. I'd just love a slow developing of their friendship into something romantic. I really like Sam a lot though, and I don't want to erase her—for the purposes of this fic, I'd prefer the relationship between Sam and Charlie to be interpreted as one-sided or platonic. If that doesn't appeal to you, I'd love to read about Charlie's relationship with his family. I found his family very loving and supportive, and I'd like to read more about their bond he has with all of them, especially Candace. I love the deleted scene where he goes with her to get an abortion so I'd love to read fic about that event, or anything else where they're being mutually supportive of each other. | letter |
| opheliahyde | Princess Tutu | Ahiru | Duck, Fakir (Princess Tutu), Rue (Princess Tutu), Mytho (Princess Tutu) | I love this show! I love all these characters! And I ship them all in various combinations! I'd love almost anything for here. As for prompts—I'd love to read a future-fic story with Fakir searching for ways to turn Ahiru back into a girl, and/or his life with duck!Ahiru—give me adorable domestic scenes of Fakir feeding his duck girlfriend and carrying her around and having duck!Ahiru sleep on the pillow besides him, basically, while trying to give her the ability to shift back into a girl—I'd really love it to be through his storytelling abilities. If that doesn't work for you, I'd also love Fakir/Mytho ship fic while Mytho was still heartless—I was really into how dark and creepy their dynamic was when Fakir ordered him around and refusing to let him do anything without his permission, so if you wanted to expand on that or take it further, with maybe Fakir feeling guilty and terrible about it, feel free. I also really like Fakir and Rue constantly fighting over Mytho in the series and I'd love to read backstory fic about them fighting over him even when they were young and small. If you set it during canon, I'd definitely be open to some kind of bickering threesome. I'd love anything with Rue—backstory, introspection, exploration of her motivations and feelings, anything really, but I have a soft spot for her friendship (and maybe more) with Ahiru, so anything about the two of them would be wonderful. If you could make a foursome work, you'd be my hero, but anything with these characters would be wonderful. The only thing I don't really want is Ahiru/Mytho as a stand-alone pairing—I enjoy the dynamic, but don't ship it singularly. | letter |
| OpheliaRising | Saiunkoku Monogatari | Okay, I recognize that the likelihood of this being granted is passing slim, but I figured I'd try anyway. You see, I happen to think that this is maybe one of the slashiest shows I've ever watched, and Seiran and Ryuuki practically crawl all over each other to put ideas in my head, especially at the beginning of the series. It's canon that Ryuuki is bi and that they've slept together, for pete's sake! Anyway, what I really would love is an explicit, slashy story between them, preferably including some political machinations on Ryuuki's part, and some fierce protectiveness on Seiran's part. Yes, I know it's sib-cest, but I don't really care. Those two have the kind of bond that makes me want to poke them into bed for reasons other than Ryuuki's fear of the dark. | letter | |
| OpheliaRising | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Will Stanton, Bran Davies aka Pendragon | My favorite thing about Susan Cooper is the strong sense of Wales that comes through in her writing. I also love the poetic use of language in all her books, and the delicate between-the-lines relationship that Bran and Will forge. Pretty much anything you do here will make me happy, whether it's set during the books or after. I love the Arthurian themes to her writing, so a story with a strong undercurrent of Arthurian legend would be especially nice. | |
| OpheliaRising | The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011) | Micheletto (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)) | Pretty much anything about Micheletto would float my boat. His history in Forli and how he came to know Augustino (his lover from Forli), what he does after he vanishes from Rome, what happens when he comes back to Cesare (because historically he was Cesare's right hand man, so surely he would have come back if they'd continued the show). You could do a little character study of his cheerfully sociopathic approach to information gathering, or something between him and Lucrezia since he seems fond of her. Gen to explicit, fluff (well, as fluffy as Micheletto gets. He did seem a little gentle with Lucrezia's baby) to bloody horror, all things Micheletto will be great. | |
| OpheliaRising | Juuni Kokki | Twelve Kingdoms | Taiki | Takasato Kaname, Saku Gyousou | ince the series ended before Taiki returned, it would be nice to see a post-series fic of him back in the Twelve Kingdoms. I like the idea of him as an older teen, rather more grown into himself than the young version that we see in the TV show. Maybe a slightly political story of how he and Taishou started turning the kingdom of Tai around from ruin back into a functional nation. This story can definitely go slashy if you want! | |
| OracleGlass | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Calo Sanza, Galdo Sanza | I would like a story focused on the Sanzas, because while they're wildly entertaining, I choose to believe they're not entirely a duo composed of horniness and fart jokes, but that they do have some inner life! Other characters welcome, but I'd love something that's primarily about them - a con of theirs, where they came from, a quiet moment, their relationship with the other Gentleman Bastards, how they feel about being silver at all, gold at none, and if it bothers them or if they're perfectly happy as they are. | letter |
| OracleGlass | Bourne (Movies) | Marie Helena, Kreutz (Bourne Movies), Jason Bourne | I'd like a story about Marie, either before or during her time with Jason Bourne. Fix-it fic, how she got to where she was, sex, fights, vignettes from her childhood, her looking at Jason while he sleeps - any, all, or something you've been dying to write about her. | letter |
| OracleGlass | Company - Kage Baker | I didn't select characters so you can write whomever you like or create, if you wish, an original character. I'd like a story set in the court of Lorenzo De Medici or a Renaissance pope. | letter | |
| OracleGlass | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | I'd like a story about one of the Dresden Files ladies, please. If you feel inclined, I'm a Murphy/Marcone shipper, but you don't have to write a pairing if you don't feel like it - just a story focused on any one of the women from the Dresdenverse. | letter | |

Only one request: I want a Pony! Or a Critter! FIRST! As long as fic plays by the meme rules, all is well. Crack would be weller. Sincerly, OMD. The one who's not in a velociraptor. |

| orbcitrine | Maru Desu | I Am Maru | Maru, Harry (I Am Maru), Hana (I Am Maru), mugumogu | Kitteh! As long as at some time during the story Maru winds up inside a cardboard box, I will be happy. I love genre shifts, crack, and experimentation. But at the end of the day I want a story about a box loving cat, in what ever style you want to make it. While moderate levels of pet humilation are ok, please no actual animal harm. All the cats that are alive at the start of the fic should be alive at the end. |
|
| Oroburos69 | Darken (Webcomic) | Gort (Darken), Komiyan Zaibach, Mink (Darken), Casper Lockwood | I'd like ANYTHING for this webcomic, but something about Komiyan's loyalty to Gort would be great. Evil people friendships are the very best kind, so. You know. Write me evil loyalty kink. Especially if it's hurt/comfort for that thing that happens and leaves Komiyan all injured and desperate to warn Gort. That would be FANTASTIC. Also Casper and Komiyan being bffs and getting into trouble. Also possibly getting into each other's pants. Also good. Or something about Mink and Gort's never-happened baby-making tryst, because that HAD to be weird. |
letter |
| Oroburos69 | Guilded Age | Gravedust Deserthammer, Frigg Akerfeldt, Byron Hackenslasher, Big Boss Harky | OMETHING WITH FRIGG. SOMETHING AWESOME WITH FRIGG. LIKE AN ADVENTURE TO RETRIEVE HER MACE AFTER IT'S STOLEN BY TROLLS. Byron doesn't really believe that he's free of his berserker rages. Frigg is awesome, and they talk about it while she grinds his face into the mud for being silly. Big Boss Harky fights for a better life, but that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy the hell out of the fighting. He worries that someday that enjoyment will tip over into the madness that claimed so many of his kind. Throw in any of the Savage Races characters in his army, and I'll be delighted. But seriously, anything. This is a lovely big universe screaming for fic. |
letter |
| Oroburos69 | Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede | Cimorene (Enchanted Forest), Kazul (Enchanted Forest) | Cimorene and Kazul go on an adventure. Gen fic, the only princes around are plot furniture, and if they get trapped in a fairytale or have to solve a mystery, that would be awesome. And okay, maybe I'm asking too much, but I really just want the first book. Again. with new story. | letter |
| Oroburos69 | Forgotten Realms Novels - R. A. Salvatore | Jarlaxle Baenre, Artemis Entreri | o I ship Entreri/Jarlaxle like burning just post-Servant of the Shard. I haven't read must further than that (I was pretty disappointed with the later characterization for them both), and I'd really like something involving the two of them from that time period. It doesn't have to be slash, all I ask is that they are at the very least snarky best friends. Or tentative non-trusting evil friends. Or awkward fuck buddies who like each other. As for a prompt, I'd be really tickled at Jarlaxle exploring the surface world and enjoying everything. Adventures to defeat things for money, stealing expensive shiny things to attach to his hat, taste testing everything and relying on drow poison immunities...anything, really. If he falls off a cliff in the process, gets injured and loses his healing magical items, necessitating a grumpy Entreri taking care of him, all the better! If Jarlaxle is set off-balance at Entreri's attempts at comfort or easing his pain, that would be extra great. (Seriously, go wild. It's been years since I've had fic for these guys). |

letter |
| osprey_archer | Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein | Maddie Brodatt, Julie Beaufort-Stuart | THIS BOOK OH MY HEART. I don't want a fix-it for the Event, but I would love something set before: Maddie and Julie having a lovely time together, riding around the countryside or having tea or just chatting by the fireside. And possibly making out. | letter |
| osprey_archer | Dostana (2008) | Kunal Chauhan, Sameer Acharya, Neha Melwani | I love the chemistry these three have together, either as friends or as an OT3. I'd love a story about the fun the three of them had together while Sam and Kunal were still living in Neha's apartment. The song montages show them getting up to all kinds of crazy awesome things together, and I'd love to read about that. Alternatively, I'd love a post-movie fic where they realize their latent OT3 potential. Maybe Neha can repay them for the wonderful dates they took her on (amusement park! At night!) with some amazing plan of her own? |
letter |
| osprey_archer | The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner | Costis (Queen's Thief), Attolia (Queen's Thief), Eugenides (Queen's Thief) | I adore this series endlessly: the style, sparse but evocative; the ancient/Renaissance/AU Greece setting; the characters - oh, the characters! I love Eugenides' wit and trickery, and Attolia's general imperious toughness, and Costis' sense of duty and honor; and the intertwining of personal and political loyalty in these stories. OH THE LOYALTY. Write anything about any of these characters being stupidly loyal to each other, and I will probably jump up and down shrieking with glee. |
letter |
| osprey_archer | Sword Song - Rosemary Sutcliff | Aud (Sword Song) | LADY AUD'S ADVENTURES IN ICELAND. Trolls, geysers, Icelandic ponies!

Or, alternatively: how did Muirgoed and Aud come to be friends, despite the whole former-queen-turned-slave thing? |
letter |
| out_there | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | My love for Phil Coulson knows no bounds. I would personally love a Phil Coulson/Clint Barton story, but if that isn't your thing, a story about Phil and his new team would make me ridiculously happy too. (Or Melinda May. It'd be great to learn about her backstory. Or how FitzSimmonds met. Or... you know what, I'd be pretty happy with anything in this universe.) |
letter | |

| oxoniensis | Captive Prince - S. U. Pacat | Laurent (Captive Prince), Damen (Captive Prince) | I've been trying to think what it is exactly that I love so much about these books, and there isn't any one thing I can pinpoint. I love the politics and strategising, I love that we have an unreliable narrator so we have to read between the lines to try to determine what's true. I love the slow build up of the romance and the impossibility of it (and the desperate hope that Laurent and Damen can work things out). I love the world-building. I'm utterly fascinated by Laurent in particular, the way the persona he presents to the world at large is so at odds with the way he is with people who matter. A few suggestions. A scene (either from the books, or a missing scene) from Laurent's point of view: having either a different unreliable narrator, or, if we assume he knows Damon's identity (I strongly suspect he does) a more reliable narrator, would be interesting. Or possibly they met many years ago, boys innocently straying across country lines, friends for a day. Or a future fic, either what happens next or something a year or two down the line; maybe they're both kings by now - how would that work out? Or Damon revealing his identity to Laurent — when does he do it, how does Laurent react, did Laurent know? Or Damen working out that the Regent abused Laurent as a child — how does Damon respond and how does Laurent react to his secret being revealed (my theory is that Laurent's brother protected him from the Regent, so when Damon killed him, Laurent lost not just a brother but his protector — if you want to play with this idea, that'd be wonderful). Obviously the book itself is very explicit, but go for whatever you feel comfortable with rating-wise. I've deliberately included prompts that can be written as virtually gen fic, and prompts that could potentially end up porny — I'm fine with either. If you go the porn route, though, I'll just note that one of things I most enjoy about the sex scenes in the book is the degree of emotion in them — it's never just sex for sex sake. |
letter |
| oxoniensis | The Unusuals | Jason Walsh, Casey Shraeger | I loved the quirky nature of this show — I adore slightly off-beat humour and the sort of characters that are more and more interesting as you get to dig deeper into who they are. When it comes to Casey and Jason, I'm equally happy if you write them as work partners, or develop a romance (though if you go the romantic route, please have them broken up with their partners — I don't see either of them as people who'd cheat). I'm also equally happy with a story that focuses on the two of them or an ensemble piece. Optional prompts. The Second Precinct is overrun by tribbles/zombies/rats/giant lizards/something else. Dispatch gets kidnapped and sends messages for help. A case comes up that appears supernatural, but has a perfectly normal explanation (or does it?) Secrets (whether dangerous, funny, unexpected or something else) are revealed. A day in the life of Casey or Jason. What happened after the end of season one? Gen or het, any rating. |
letter |
| oxoniensis | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Jack Robinson, Phryne Fisher | What's not to love about this show? Phryne's a smart, assertive woman who loves sex and isn't condemned for that, who cares strongly for others, wears amazing outfits, and is very multi-talented. I also like that they don't make Jack look like a fool beside her — he's an excellent detective in his own right. He's also gradually becoming less stuffy thanks to Phryne's influence. I adore their banter and flirting! I like that Jack doesn't judge Phryne when he sees her with other men. I also love the other characters too, especially Mr. Butler, Dot and Elizabeth MacMillan, so if you offered any characters and want to write an ensemble piece, that's cool. And now for some very random prompts. Casefic would be awesome, especially if Jack and Phryne have to go undercover together. A party on the beach (with or without a dead body showing up), bonus points for swimming, and extra bonus points if Jack and Phryne end up skinny-dipping. Phryne gives Jack a flying lesson. A zombie attack - who first works out how to deal with them (Phryne? Jack? Mr Butler? Jane?) Throwing the characters into a different time period/setting would be fun, whether it's ancient Egypt or a space ship (or some other time period you fancy writing)! This is definitely a fandom I'm happy to read fusions or crossovers or AUs, just as much as canon type stories. If you want to go for romance, Jack/Phryne makes me happy, and the idea of Lin Chung/Jack/Phryne intrigues me. Gen or het or threesome, any rating. |
letter |
| oxoniensis | The Gates | Dylan Radcliff, Nick Monohan | I need more Dylan in my life! His friendship with Nick in particular, whether you look at that as unlikely allies or something more. I really started to love these two characters in episode four when Dylan saved Nick's life. The dynamic between them is what really appeals — the growing but reluctant trust, the feeling that they shouldn't be friends but they can't help but like and respect each other. I'm still sad that this show was cancelled. But it does leave room for all sorts of 'what happened next stories', and plenty of room to make up backstory on Dylan. Or you could go the AU route, and transplant the two of them somewhere else altogether — another place or time or universe even! Or transplant other characters into The Gates — criminals, lawyers, vampires, werewolves, they could all cause problems for Dylan and Nick. A few optional ideas. A case-fic would be cool, the two of them working together. Or misunderstandings, Nick turning against Dylan for some reason, only to have Dylan save the day. Or maybe Dylan has to turn Nick into a vampire, forming a bond between them — what problems ensue? Gen or slash, any rating. |
letter |
| oxymora (oxymoron) | Raumpatrouille | I meant it when I didn't specify any characters! I'll be happy with any fic for this fandom. However, here's the prompt of my dreams: More of those scenes in which the government, the GSD and the Oberste Raumbehörde sit around their round table and bicker while McLane and crew save the day. Could be a completely new plot or a missing scene. It would be great if we see both the Orion crew and command, but I'm really intrigued by the (slightly disheartening) glimpses into the future of Earth politics and would like to learn more about the new administration. Bonus points for any of the following: 1. German language preferred. 2. The more bickering and banter, the better! (Goes for Orion and command.) 3. Oberst Villa making an appearance. 4. female characters being awesome. | letter | |
| oxymora (oxymoron) | Calvin & Hobbes | I've seen a lot of stories in which Calvin comes of age, but none with a younger Calvin. Inspired by my current trials and trubilations with my baby daughter, I request baby!Calvin. His first meal, first steps, first words, first tiger, first attempt at world domination... You get the drift. Babies are little monsters and Calvin must have been a terrific baby. If that's really not your thing, I understand and I have alternative suggestions in my Dear Author letter. |
letter | |
| oxymora (oxymoron) | Casablanca (1942) | Louis Renault | Anything about Renault, who is by far the most fascinating character in the movie. Whether it's his beautiful friendship with Rick (no slash, please), his backstory, or a movie scene from his perspective. | letter |
| oxymora (oxymoron) | Tricksters - Tamora Pierce | Saraiyu Balitang | omething about the life Sarai builds for herself in Carthak would be nice! See my letter for further details. | letter |

| ozsaur | Alien Nation | Susan Francisco, Emily Francisco | I think what I really want from this pairing is mother & daughter bonding. I also love anything about Tenctonese culture, so maybe Emily undergoes a rite-of-passage with her mother as a guide? Perhaps they exchange gifts, though not necessarily tangible ones. Maybe they exchange secrets or a piece of wisdom. If that doesn't appeal then some other kind of bonding: Susan helps Emily pack for college, maybe they work on a school assignment together, or Emily gets into trouble and Susan comes to the rescue - or vice versa! I would prefer gen for this pairing, but if you want to write Susan explaining sex, either human or Tenctonese, I'm down with that. Just, no incest, please. | letter |
| ozsaur | Space Rangers (TV) | JoJo Thorsen, Zylyn (Space Rangers) | It probably seems odd to ask for these two characters because they didn't get very many scenes together - and that's exactly why I want them. They are both fascinating in their own right, but together? I'm pretty sure they'd be awesome. I'd love anything with Jojo and Zylyn kicking ass. And I wouldn't mind a little exploration of the running joke that Jojo may not be entirely female. With only six episodes, Jojo's all female culture never had a chance to be explored in canon. That would be pretty amazing, especially with Zylyn along as an outside observer. I'd love to learn a little more about him as well. | letter |
| ozsaur | Onmyouji | The Yin-Yang Master (Movies) | Abe no Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa | I am fascinated by the magic in these movies. Any story that involves magic or spiritual exploration or possibly demon fighting would be fun. Seimei and Hiromasa facing down a demon together or fighting some evil adversary would be great. Or maybe a test of loyalty? For either or both. I also wouldn't object to Hiromasa trying to impress Seimei with some bit of Court gossip or poetry, so if action/adventure isn't your thing, I'd be fine with banter or Seimei teasing Hiromasa. | letter |
| ozsaur | Pet Shop of Horrors | Leon Orcot, Count D | I've read (and enjoyed!) many of the post-canon stories where Leon goes in search of D. What I'd really like is to turn this idea around and have D go in search of Leon for whatever reason. Maybe Leon disappears during an investigation, or maybe Leon gets lost while on vacation and D and his animal friends go to the rescue. Or turn canon around and have Leon run away at the end instead of D. Other things that interest me are the pets, so a new pet that Leon can see and/or talk to would be fun. I've only read the first series, so I probably wouldn't get it if you brought in characters from the second series. | letter |

| PagingPaige | Brave (2012) | Merida (Brave (2012)) | I loved Brave from the moment I watched it and I have to say, I would LOVE a crossover fic with her and Thor. I just think it would be an amazing dynamic. If that isn't your cup of tea, no worries! Anything with Merida off exploring a new land/culture/etc would be awesome! | letter |
| PagingPaige | Lost Girl | Kenzi (Lost Girl), Dyson (Lost Girl) | Ever since the body swap episode where Kenzi got stuck in Dyson's body, I have wanted these two together. Romance definitely, but the rest is up to you! | letter |

| paintingnut | Alien Life (Anthropomorfic) | Roswell crash alien, Pyramid building alien, Nazca line drawing alien, Crop circle making alien | Are they all the same aliens? If they're different aliens, are they allies or at war with each other? What is the meaning of the Nazca lines and the crop circles? Are they trying to tell us something? And why would aliens come here from light years away and crash their space ship? Were the teenage kids driving, and were they texting? Feel free to be as serious or as silly and cracky as you'd like with this, and if you want to concentrate on just one group of aliens, that's fine. Don't think you need to use them all. | letter |
| paintingnut | Galaxy Quest (1999) | Laliari (Galaxy Quest) | Laliari adjusting to life on earth. Learning that the "historical records" aren't really true? Learning to tell truth from fiction, and that fiction isn't always a bad thing? Tentacle porn? | letter |
| paintingnut | Insurance company commericals | Flo the Progressive Insurance girl (Insurance company commericals), Mayhem the Allstate guy | Flo and Mayhem. Road trip? Fighting off a hoard of zombies? Fighting dragons? Illicit love affair? Somehow with Mayhem involved, you just know that things are going to go wrong. Perhaps going wrong involves a disastrous sexual encounter? The more outrageous you go with this, the better. | letter |
| paintingnut | Airwolf | Charles Henry Moffett | Canon portrays Moffett as a sexual sadist, and hints that something had happened years earlier at White Sands. Some backstory on what might have happened would be great. Now, I know that not everyone would be comfortable writing that, and if you're not, that's fine. I'd be equally happy with a story about Moffett getting Hawke kicked off the Airwolf program, or with something about Moffett designing and building the helicopter. In fact, if by chance you offered "all" but find that Moffett squicks you, I'd be equally happy to receive a story about any of the other Airwolf characters. The only thing I would rather not get is a romantic Hawke/Caitlin story, simply because that's what most of the existing Airwolf fic is, and I'd like to see something different. |

| paintingnut | Stargate Universe | Nicholas Rush, Everett Young | I'd like something that portrays the complicated dynamic between these two. I'm open to various interpretations, including slash, if that's how you see the characters. Rush wanting to follow Destiny's mission, vs Rush wanting to get them home? Also feel free to explore the relationship between Rush and the ship itself. | letter |
| PallePumpgun | Archer (Cartoon) | Sterling Archer, Lana Kane, Pam Poovey, Algernop Kreiger | You can do anything you please. Make it light, dark, philosophical, deeply disturbed, unethical and normatively wrong, slash-fic. Anything goes! | |
| PallePumpgun | Watchmen (2009) | Nite Owl (Watchmen 2009), Silk Spectre (Watchmen 2009), Rorschach (Watchmen 2009), Ozymandias (Watchmen 2009) | Anything goes. If it's unexpected, it's excellent. Canon is certainly not mandatory. Any character is welcome, but I'm only allowed to select these four. | |
| PallePumpgun | The Simpsons | Bart Simpson, Maggie Simpson, Lisa Simpson, Homer Simpson | It's been years since I saw the Simpsons. I wonder where they are now? Can you enlighten me with a view of the Simpson's later years? You decide how much later. | |
| PallePumpgun | Django Unchained (2012) | Django Freeman, Calvin Candie, King Schultz, Billy Crash | Use whichever characters from the movie you like. Please treat the movie like dirt; make it gritty and dark and remove the immortality from the self-righteous characters. Remove the crazy Tarantino'esque excess. I really didn't like the movie; any cynical version of it will be enjoyed. Obviously this is just a request, but I hated the movie and some justice to the protagonists who were devoid of morals would be a pleasure to read. | |
| palmedfire | Flight rising (video game) | I love this game dearly - warts and all - mostly because the lore is great. I know it sucks when recipients say they want anything, but... I really kinda will be happy with almost anything. Except maybe plot-what-plot graphic dragon sex. Not really my thing. I promise I'll have more details in my letter, once I get my brain to narrowing down possibilities. |
letter | |
| palmedfire | Romeo et Juliette - Presgurvic | Benvolio Montaigu (Roméo et Juliette - Presgurvic) | I asked for Benvolio fic last year and was blessed with some very good fic. That said, I always want more. I hateship Tybalt/Benvolio, but don't feel obligated to write that. More details in the letter. Of course. |
letter |
| palmedfire | Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey | Pern was one of my first fandoms, and while I've become less enamored of the books over time, I still love the world. I'm not requesting any specific characters because really as long as there are dragons and riders and such I'll be happy. I have some slightly more specific requests/prompts in my letter. |
letter | |
| palmedfire | Nobilis - R. Sean Borgstrom | Nobilis is an amazingly beautiful game in all its incarnations with an almost overwhelming number of possibilities. I hope to narrow down some of what I'd like to see in my letter, but please, if you're matched on this, feel free to write the story that calls to you. And while I love Borgstrom's writing style, please, please don't feel like you need to try to imitate it. That might be a bit much. |
letter | |
| Pameluke | Foreigner Series - C. J. Cherryh | Algini (Foreigner), Tano (Foreigner), Jago (Foreigner), Banichi (Foreigner) | I'd really love some fic that explores the relationship of Bren's Aishid outside of it's connection to Bren. How did Algini and Tano meet? How did that partnership grow? How do they relate to Jago and Banichi? What kind of shenanigans _happened_ while they were still in training with the Guild? When did Jago decide to become a Guild member as well? How did Banichi manage to have a child when he was in the Guild? Did it happen before he joined? Their manchi is all firmly with Bren, but how do they relate to the other pair in their Aishid? I would love it if you could write something about the dynamic of the entire Aishid, but if you'd rather write only Algini & Tano or only Jago & Banichi, that's more than fine with me. Cameo's by Bren or other Foreigner characters are also very welcome if you feel so inclined. As long as it focuses on some aspect of Atevi relationships I'l be a very happy yuletider. More about me, and things I like about them in my Dear Yuletide letter, but please no death fic (unless canonical deaths), and no dub/con non/con. Thank you |
letter |
| Pameluke | Kate Daniels - Ilona Andrews | Derek Gaunt, Julie Olsen | I'd really love some Future Fic about these two. They can be together, they can be just friends, it can be pre-relationship. Just them as (Young) Adults would be awesome. It can either be a case (I love all kinds of lore, so feel free to go wild) they stubbornly want to handle on their own, someone else they want to help out (I pretty much love everyone in the bar that are the Kate Daniels novels, so all characters from canon you feel like including is totally extra cherries on top for me), one helping the other out, a date gone awry because Unicorn Lane, some random domesticity (either as friends or lovers or somewhere inbetween). Seriously, I just want more fic about these two, because their dynamic and personalities are so awesome. More about me, and things I like about them in my Dear Yuletide letter, but please no death fic (unless canonical deaths), and no dub/con non/con. Thank you |
letter |
| Pameluke | Zamonien | Zamonia - Walter Moers | Buchling(e) | Bookling(s) | Okay, so I loved the booklings, and I just think the potential for literary jokes and awesomeness is GLORIOUS. I'm pretty open on what fic about them could entail. More on the life as a bookling (can they die?, do they form relationships? has any of them ever set out in the wider world of Zamonia?), maybe just focus on one bookling's life (the joy of having to memorize a fresh work, the shame when a new work is sub-par, literary friendships...), maybe more about their life in the Labyrint, the stories they spread about themselves, encounters with Bookhunters... Anything goes really, I'm just so intrigued by them! More info in my Dear Yuletide Letter if you want it, thank you! |
letter |
| Pameluke | Downside Ghosts - Stacia Kane | Terrible (Downside Ghosts), Chess Putnam | I have an insane amount of love for Chess and Terrible, whether they are going through a rough spot or are happily in love (as much as that's possible in Downside). Basically I'd be interested in anything about these two. Domestic fluff, Dates in town, learning more about each others history, lazy days in bed... If you're more of the gen persuasion I'm definitely good with case-fic, or fic exploring how they became such close friends in between Unholy Ghosts and Unholy Magic. I love Terrible with a fierce and burning passion, so would love anything from his perspective, but I'd also love something from a third POV, maybe Edsel or Bump's view on their relationship? Anything that explores these two would send my heart a-twitter. I'm fine with Violence/Drug Addiction stuff at about the same level as Canon, but I'd rather not have death fic. More info in my Dear Yuletide letter. Thank you! |
letter |
| Pampermousse | Justified | Raylan Givens, Boyd Crowder | something canon compliant, where Boyd's criminality is not glossed over and Raylan struggles with it but they are a semi-functioning couple or on their way there | |
| Pampermousse | The Wire | Jimmy McNulty, Stringer Bell | canon compliant, a conversation between the two in a diner where they discover something about each other | |
| Pampermousse | Clueless (1995) | Cher Horowitz, Josh Lucas | Future fic - the college years | |
| Pampermousse | Sleepless In Seattle (1993) | Annie Reed, Sam Baldwin | What happens next, future fic | |
| Pamphlet | Coriolanus - Shakespeare | Tullus Aufidius, Caius Martius (Coriolanus) | I get chest pains from Act 4 Scene 5 so I would love a continuation or something similar if you're willing? "We have been down together in my sleep, / Unbuckling helms, fisting each other's throat, / And waked half dead with nothing" - THAT. Swoony romance or swoony bromance, there's not enough fic for either! I'm totally happy with gen though if you prefer, from anywhere in the play or backstory or whatever. There's so much potential to explore the characters. And I didn't put her in my requests but something with Volumnia would be great too if you'd rather not focus on just the guys. | letter |
| Pamphlet | Jonathan Creek (TV) | Maddy Magellan | I love Maddy so much I want to keysmash instead of words. Give me ALL THE MADDY FIC! Backstory, growing up and losing her mum and how she got into the job she's in, or tell me what she got up to in America, or working a case with Jonathan. If you do want to include him too: I love them when they're bickering more than when they're snogging, but oodles of ust/missed moments/awkward misunderstandings make my life with these two so please go wild with that if it's your thing. | letter |
| Pamphlet | Horrible Histories | Richard III of England (Horrible Histories) | I'm just really amused by the idea of a Horrible Histories take on digging Richard up out of the carpark, so if that appeals to you in any way then run with it! Otherwise anything at all will fill me with glee. I love how outraged he is in his song so that could be a fun one to play with, like Richard barging into a theatre and interrupting a Shakespeare performance with The Truth or something. | letter |
| Pamphlet | Stockholm Syndrome - Richard Rider | I'm pretty sure nobody's going to write this so I'll say ANY. Some kind of old criminal shenanigans with Lindsay and the guys (Lindsay/Ty on the side if you're feeling brave ;) or if you want to write Lindsay/Pip then make it as mushy or as violent as you like, I don't mind. Future fic? Missing scene? More about Pip making friends with Frances? Preferably not too much grimness and angst, but seriously: anything! | letter | |
| Pamphlet | The Faraway Tree - Enid Blyton | I don't even know what to request for this, I just saw it in the tags and felt nostalgic for 25 years ago...! I like the whole thing about how it could be ANY place up the tree, there are no limits. Crossovers would work really well (I don't need to know the fandom if there's a crossover, it'd just be interesting to see different worlds collide) if there's anything you feel like writing, or just show me more of the world from the books, either what's up the tree or what's underground or what's in the wood, or beyond the wood. Blyton gets a crapload of criticism but this series has stuck with me ever since I was tiny because its possibilities are infinite. PLEASE gen or friendship rather than romance, and especially please please no smut - I'm usually happy to read any pairings or ratings, but would rather keep it clean for this fandom. | letter | |

| paranoidangel | Wizards vs Aliens (TV) | Michael Clarke | What interests me about Michael is that he married a woman who was a wizard and had a son who was a wizard without being one himself. I'd love to know more about how he found out about it, how he coped with it, how he initially dealt with Tom's magical abilities. How he coped when his wife died too. The other interesting thing is that he lives with his mother-in-law. Did he always get on so well with Ursula? Did she always live with them? How much did they need each other when his wife died? How much does he need her to deal with Tom's magical abilities? | letter |
| paranoidangel | Sarah Jane Smith (Big Finish Audio) | Will Sullivan | Will's an interesting character, partly because of his connection to Harry, but also because of what we find out about him as the series goes on. I'd love to see some fic focusing on him or his relationship with Sarah. I ship them, but I'm equally happy with just friendship. I'd like something either exploring the relationship between Sarah and Will, whatever that may be. Or something about how he feels, given his Crimson Chapter instructions conflict with his feelings for her. Or something about how their first meeting comes about - we were told that he was told to befriend her, but how much did he want to meet her off his own bat? Did he ever think about meeting her before that time? Given his reasons for joining the Crimson Chapter in the first place, did he always feel that he was in Harry's shadow and did he feel that Sarah thought that way about him? Or alternatively, I'd also like something exploring Will and his early life. How did he feel about Harry and Harry's stories? What did he know about Sarah before he met her? | letter |
| paranoidangel | Counter-Measures (Big Finish Audio) | Rachel Jensen | I like Rachel, she's a great scientist and she's not afraid of telling people (well, Toby mostly) what she thinks of them. I like the whole trio of Gilmore, Rachel and Allison, but can't get quite so excited about Toby. I'd like a fic that focuses on Gilmore, Rachel and Allison and their relationships with each other. Or Rachel's relationship with Gilmore - their friendship and maybe something more shippy (what do they talk about at their dinners? Knowing them, probably work). Or Rachel's relationship with Allison - their 'girly' friendship or their relationship as Allison being Rachel's assistant/student/co-worker - how has their relationship changed between Allison being Rachel's student and now being her co-worker? Or just something like one of the audios - maybe one of the plots mentioned at the end of State of Emergency. Or Rachel teaming up with Kate Stewart - there would probably have to be some time travel involved, but they are quite similar people in similar situations and it would be fun to see them working together. Or, it won't be out until next month, so I don't know what's in it, but anything relating to the November 1963 Big Finish audio with Counter Measures in it. | letter |
| paranoidangel | Chalet School - Elinor M. Brent-Dyer | Jack Maynard | I'd love a fic about how/why he falls in love with Joey, especially when she's so young. Does he know straight away, does it take him a while, how much effort does he have to go to hide it from her? How well does he do at hiding it from others? If that's not your thing, then I'd also like a fic about his introduction to Austria and the San and the Chalet School. Does he like Austria at first or does it take a while to grow on him? Does he miss England? Does he enjoy working closely with Jem? Is he bemused by the close connection with the school? Is it seeing all the children under Madge's care that make him want a large family? Or alternatively, I recently read Exile and that big gap bugged me, so I'd love a fic set in that gap. Don't feel you have to use Jack either. I'd like to see something about him and Jo getting married or Madge worrying and getting out of Austria, or just the immediate aftermath of their ordeal for Jo or Jack or Miss Wilson or anyone else who was affected. |
letter |
| paranoidangel | The Ten Stupidest Things I've Heard Since Richard III's Remains Were Identified (Blog Post) | For this I'd like something ridiculous (in keeping with the blog post). Don't feel you need to worry about historical accuracy - I'll take funny over accurate any time. I'd like a story relating to one of the ten things, as if it's true. Any of the ten things could make interesting fics. The ones that stand out particularly are: 3. Tudor osteologist spy - and how did that come about, time travel? spying handed down through the generations? 5. Maybe something about the 'science' behind this and how they can prove whether people are murderers based entirely on their face. 8. Perhaps there's some sort of time travel going on here? Or some other bizarre way Richard III's ancestors found out about this. 9. Elizabeth II mystery - what is it she's hiding? If you made her The Queen of Twitter (https://twitter.com/Queen_UK) that would be even more hilarious 10. I'd be all for some bad science with a Richard III clone. (If you fancy one of the other things please feel free to go for it - I didn't want to list them all here) |

| Parhelion | Nero Wolfe - Rex Stout | Nero Wolfe, Archie Goodwin | Plotty case fics, poetical takes, how they got together or other back story, AUs or cross-overs: they're all good. I'm a slasher -- and occasionally an explicit one -- in this fandom, but you don't have to be. However I would prefer that the deep, snarky devotion between Archie and Wolfe play a central role in the fic. No Lily dissing, please? | letter |
| Parhelion | Top Ten (Comic) | Wulf (Top Ten) Jetlad | I'd love to read something about how they got from the end of "The Forty-Niners" to the original comic, especially given that last line in Forty-Niners. However anything using golden or silver age comic tropes -- alternate universes, strange crossovers with other superheros, bizarre metamorphosis, and so forth -- with a queer spin to the tale would also be a treat. | letter |
| Parhelion | 19th Century CE US RPF | Walt Whitman (19th Century CE US RPF), Abraham Lincoln (19th Century CE US RPF) | Okay, this one I'm entrusting to the hands of anyone brave enough to sign up for it. All I know is that Whitman and Lincoln were in the same city during the same years, they were both recorded as occasionally wandering about restlessly at night, (accompanied or not), they'd have things in common and matters they could talk about (even when their culture would say they shouldn't), and I'd give a good deal to be there if they met. | letter |

We got a really cute backstory and now I want to know what happens after. Maybe immediately after, or five-years-into-the-future after. Do they get together? Do they go on ridiculously cute dates? How does Giovana feel? I would adore a heartwarming story for this fandom but porn is always nice! |
letter |
| pasdexcuses | Olympics RPF | Alexander Ovechkin (Olympics RPF) | Russia's Greatest Love Machine! Or, Alexander Ovechkin is a match-making spirit of frenzy with mad skillz that awes humanity despite his truly appalling fashion sense. Seriously, I'm surprised the fashion police hasn't convicted him already. Basically, Ovie frolicking around Sochi and playing Cupid at the Winter Olympics! No, but really, Sochi 2014 is even during Valentine's Day. |

| pasdexcuses | Joan of Arcadia | Grace Polk, Luke Girardi | This is, no joke, one of my favorite TV shows ever. I know everyone's a bit iffy on season 2 but what I loved about it is the development we got on Grace's and Luke's relationship. They seem like such a mismatch but then they oddly go well together! And I just want more of that. I want to see how their not-a-relationship evolves into a real one with them telling everyone about it and shenanigans and really just Grace being awesome and rebellious and Luke being an adorable geek. What I love the most about these characters is Grace's strong will and Luke's scientific word vomit. |
letter |
| pasdexcuses | Common Law | Wes Mitchell, Travis Marks | To me, Common Law just brought the concept of bromance to a whole new level that makes the part of my brain that is not a slasher seriously question what's up with these two. I mean, the way Travis gets angry, so viscerally angry, at Wes for not communicating. I don't think you react like that for a partner or a friend from work. Obviously their link is deeper than that. Which is something the writers put out there but never really showed. Why are they so close? What things have brought them together other than work? And, finally, are they EVER going to work their ~feelings out? |
letter |
| pasdexcuses | Literary RPF | Hans Christian Andersen (Literary RPF) | I want a fic that delves into his unrequited love for both men and women. How that affected him and his writings. I'll be completely honest and tell you that what I've been really craving is one intense Hans Christian Andersen BDSM fic. Which, I'll admit is weird, considering he wrote for children. But. His life was full of unrequited love. And something about the way he refused to have sex, earlier in his life, just screams masochism to me. Which, of course you don't have to write that. I'd be happy if you chose to explore his unrequited loves and how he was able to cope! |

| patho (ghostsoldier) | Deus Ex: Human Revolution | Adam Jensen Francis Pritchard | While I love how open the game's various endings are, I really want to know more about what happens to the characters after the events of the game come to a close. If Adam returns from Panchaea, what happens to him? How do his interactions with the other characters shift as a result of what he's experienced and knows? Pritchard ended up being one of my favorite characters, and I'm desperately curious to know how his relationship with Adam changed from being the guy's eyes and ears through most of the game. Shippiness would be lovely, but definitely isn't required -- them being snarky bros would be amazing as well. One of my favorite interpretations of Adam is that of a man who's deeply uncomfortable with being a living weapon and is still struggling to navigate that territory, and I would love to see more exploration of his ambivalence regarding augmentation. | letter |
| patho (ghostsoldier) | Spec Ops: The Line | Martin Walker, John Lugo, Alphanso Adams, John Konrad | No lie, I would be happy with pretty much ANYTHING for this game. It cries out for fic -- stories that look at the events of the game from Adams' or Lugo's perspectives, backstory on Konrad and Walker and their time in Kabul, stories about what went down in Dubai before Walker's team gets there. Or the endings! Dear god, the endings! Tell me about what's going on in Walker's head during any of the endings, tell me about Walker going back the US and living with what he's done, tell me about Walker committing suicide by extraction team, tell me about Walker who shoulders Konrad's burden in every single way ("welcome to Dubai, gentlemen"). Or his hallucinations! Are they really hallucinations, or is he perhaps in Purgatory? Anything -- and I do mean anything -- would be amazing. | letter |
| patho (ghostsoldier) | Redshirts - John Scalzi | Andrew Dahl, Jasper Hester, Finn (Redshirts) | Because this book riffs on Star Trek, I would absolutely LOVE to see fic that plays with classic fanfic tropes, especially ones that show up a lot in Star Trek fic. I'm ridiculously fond of the weird shit that always happens to the away teams — sex pollen, having to huddle together for warmth, accidental marriage, alien mind control, etc. How do our dear protagonists handle that kind of thing? I kind of love Dahl/Hester for anything post-book, but cheerfully ship Dahl/Finn and Finn/Hester as well. Gen is also lovely! Referencing the Narrative certainly isn't necessary, but it would be delightful...especially if the characters acknowledge that Something Tropetastic Is Happening and either change how they act or go along with it anyway. The more meta, the better! I love that stuff. | letter |
| patho (ghostsoldier) | Newsflesh Trilogy - Mira Grant | Georgia Mason, Shaun Mason | lice-of-life domestic fic about Shaun and Georgia would be a dream come true. Tell me about their adventures after the series ends, tell me about them bickering in the kitchen and curling up together at night, tell me about Shaun accepting Georgia II for the way she is and them not angsting a whole lot over it. Tell me about them carving out space for themselves and being HAPPY. | letter |
| Pax | Slings & Arrows | I'd like fic where the cast and crew of New Burbage have to stage a play that takes them out of their comfort zone and/or causes someone to rethink their personal life. No preferences on pairing or time frame, but I would like to point out that I really enjoy Theatre of the Absurd, Oscar Wilde, and Aeschylus. | letter | |
| Pax | Ooku: The Inner Chambers | I will basically love any fic in this fandom, but something focusing on the social restructuring of Japan following the plague and how that plays out on an individual level would be wonderful. My knowledge of this period of Japanese history isn't the greatest, so a little bit of hand-holding would be appreciated, but if you write in this fandom, I will do as much clicking over to Wikipedia as necessary to follow along. | letter | |
| Pax | Le Visiteur du futur (Web Series) | Henry Castaforte (Le Visiteur du futur), Le Visiteur (Le Visiteur du futur) | I would like future hijinks between Henri and Le Visiteur, please! This can be in the future-past (pre-canon) or future-present (Seasons 1-3) or the future-future (post-Season-3), and can include as many of the other characters as you like, but I'd like to see Henri and Le Visiteur evading obstacles, thwarting wiles, and constructing ethically-conscious robots together. (Fic where they are together-together rather than just platonically bickering like an old married couple would be appreciated, but is not necessary.) | letter |
| Pax | Paleontology RPF | Othniel Charles Marsh (Paleontology RPF), Edward Drinker Cope (Paleontology RPF) | Will someone write me Cope/Marsh? WILL IT BE YOU? SAY IT WILL, DEAR YULE GOAT. I want all the backstabbing and hatred and epistolatory sniping and taxonomic corrections and barely-restrained tension. Betrayal! Intrigue! Dinosaurs! I will try for greater coherency in my Yule Goat letter, but I cannot promise success! | letter |
| Pax | Young Wizards - Diane Duane | Lone Power (Young Wizards) Machu Picchu | Winged Defender | Pick your favorite myth of conflict between good and evil and re-tell it as an intervention.

| pedanther | Moonbeam Series - Selma Wassermann & Jack Wassermann & George Rohrer | Moonbeam (Moonbeam), Scott (Moonbeam), Dr. Jim (Moonbeam) | Obscure as this series is, just about anything in this fandom would make me happy. Further adventures of Moonbeam and her friends after the point where the series left off is one obvious place to go. Or something that compares or blends the series' version of the space race with real history. (Did Moonbeam ever spill jam on Neil Armstrong? Dr Jim is an African American man holding a professional post on a US rocket base in the 1960s - surely he has stories to tell.) I would be gleeful if you did something interesting with the prose style. | letter |
| pedanther | Wreck-It Ralph (2012) | Vanellope von Schweetz, Taffyta Muttonfudge | If you'd like a specific idea: It seems to me there's more to be told about Taffyta and her cronies. They're obviously never going to try bullying Vanellope again, but after those non-apology apologies they gave I wouldn't be surprised if they started picking on somebody else. I want to believe that they learned the error of their ways, and I want to believe that they and Vanellope settled their differences and became friends, the way Ralph and the Nicelanders did, but I think that as of the end of the film they still have some way to go before they reach that point. I'd be very happy to see a story about how they get the rest of the way. Otherwise, I'd be happy with anything that captures the feel of the movie - a bit of humor, a bit of heartwarming, maybe a few arcade game in-jokes if that's your speed - especially if it further explores the worlds inhabited by the game characters and how they relate to the games as the players see them. |

| pedanther | Father Brown - G. K. Chesterton | M. Hercule Flambeau | Father Brown's friend Flambeau apparently makes a respectable living as a private detective, but since he's not the series protagonist the only time we get to hear about one of his cases is when it turns weird and he hands it over to Father Brown. I would like to see that remedied, with a story about Flambeau investigating and solving a case of his own. (Not one of the weird ones that Father Brown usually solves; it's firmly established Flambeau isn't well suited to those. A different sort of case, one that suits Flambeau's temperament and skills.) I have no objection to Father Brown showing up, just as long as he doesn't take over. If that doesn't appeal to you, perhaps a story about one of Flambeau's exploits in the days before he first met Father Brown? |

| pedanther | Puck of Pook's Hill Series - Rudyard Kipling | Una (Puck of Pook's Hill), Dan (Puck of Pook's Hill), Puck (Puck of Pook's Hill) | I'd be interested in a story exploring the mechanics of how Puck's storytelling sessions work: Are the storytellers ghosts or memories that Puck is somehow summoning up? Or is there some kind of time travel going on, so that the living people come forward to tell their story, and then return to their own time? Will Dan and Una ever get called on to tell their own stories? (And if so, to whom?) Or, perhaps Puck could call up somebody to tell Dan and Una about their life in *your* part of the world (assuming you don't actually live in the part of England the series is already mostly set in). What interesting historical event might somebody from there have been around to witness? I'll be extra-thrilled if you tell the story in the proper style - and unspeakably impressed if you also do a poem at the end. |

| Peeta (diamondunderpressure) | Grimm (TV) | Juliette Silverton, Monroe (Grimm) | Really, I just want Rosalie. I want them to be dealing with their feelings for Rosalie-- their ROMANTIC feelings for Rosalie. OT3 would be ideal. |
|
| Peeta (diamondunderpressure) | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Jennifer Mills | pernatural crossover, if you can. Preferably incorporating the episode Route 666 and the racist truck. Cassie is a friend of the Mills sisters, and the Mills sisters are hunters. Racist ghost truck ensues. |

| pendrecarc | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | Betriz dy Ferrej, Iselle dy Chalion, Ista dy Chalion | I love the women of this series, and I would be tremendously happy to get two or three of the ones I've selected, in any combination. I'm very fond of Cazaril, so he'd be a bonus. Things I'd particularly appreciate in Chalion fic: politics, caring relationships (platonic or otherwise) that still carry the tension of strong personalities and occasional disagreement, and watching the characters make and live with difficult decisions. | letter |
| pendrecarc | The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner | Attolia (Queen's Thief), Eddis (Queen's Thief) | I would love to see Eddis and Attolia clashing and cooperating at any point in the series timeline. I'm a sucker for political intrigue, diplomacy (in anyone's name!), and respectful relationships complicated by widely different priorities. Suggestions, though feel free to do what you will: Eddis and Attolia corresponding on some military or economic disagreement before the start of the series, successfully or not; each of them responding to the other's rise to power; negotiations surrounding the wedding post-Queen of Attolia; Eddis attending Attolia's wedding and vice versa; negotiations surrounding the wedding and balance of power of the three nations post-Conspiracy of Kings; a future-fic where they deal with the renewed threat of the Mede Empire. I adore the Magus and would love it if he figured somehow in the story. I also love Gen and Sophos, but I'd particularly enjoy a story where the queens are discussing something other than Gen's place in their lives, or where his primary significance to the conversation is political rather than personal. |
letter |
| pendrecarc | Mary Russell - Laurie R. King | Mary Russell | I'm craving something old-school from this series. I'd love something set pre-MREG in particular. Missing scenes of Russell at Oxford, perhaps, such as outtakes of her tutorials with Donleavy or coming back to her studies after the conclusion of BEEK? Training and early cases with Holmes? A quiet scene with Mrs. Hudson? I'm also a sucker for alternate timeline-style AUs. Of course, if you're leaning toward a story later in the timeline, do please have at it! |
letter |
| pendrecarc | The Magicians - Lev Grossman | Julia (The Magicians) | I almost didn't request this, because my gift last year was so incredibly satisfying, but there's still a lot of room for Julia-centric fic. As last year, any meeting between her and Alice would be lovely, however you can swing it. Here are some completely different ideas, though: * pre-series character exploration; what was she like before she found magic and had it taken from her? * AU, where she doesn't remember/pursue magic after the Brakebills exam * AU, where things don't go so horribly wrong for her in the backstory we get in The Magician King. What does she build and accomplish with the family she made? * Julia as Queen of Fillory; some sort of pre-Magician King quest, adventure, or quiet exploration? * anything post-Magician King |

| pene | Cotillion - Georgette Heyer | Kitty Charing, Freddy Standen | There's not much I wouldn't love with these two. Madcap escapades, maybe some sense of them as a couple who needs to work out how to love each other, perhaps something about the trials of being an adult or just a look into how they have fun. It would be cool to throw in something about their exquisite taste, or a dance and everyone watching them, or just the ridiculous numbers of courses for dinner. I find Cotillion one of Heyer's most charming books, and so amusing. I particularly like that Kitty and Freddy have a nice balance in their relationship, and each appreciates and admires the other even while they laugh fondly at how silly they both are. | letter |
| pene | Chess - Rice/Ulvaeus/Andersson | Frederick Trumper, Florence Vassy, Anatoly Sergievsky | Oh no I don't even know what I want here! Perhaps something kind of hot between Florence and one or both of the men set during the tournament? Or else something painful or bittersweet set in the future. A look at Anatoly home in Russia, maybe there's some growing contentment, and wondering if it can live up to the former highs and lows? Florence reconnecting with Freddie and dealing with the question of whether he will ever be more than he was as world champion. Florence developing her own life? |
letter |
| pene | Sprig Muslin - Georgette Heyer | Hester Theale, Gareth Ludlow | I'd love to develop the relationship between these two further, just by seeing a day in their lives or a year as they bring change to one another. They are full of kindness and I'd like to see how they really work in love. | letter |
| pene | Dalziel and Pascoe - Reginald Hill | Edgar Wield, Peter Pascoe, Shirley "Ivor" Novello | There's so much I'd love to see - a Yorkshire mystery with any or all of the characters; Wield doing anything at all, particularly when he does it well, anything that shows that Wield is fabulous and has a charming or heartrending or just real life, also love his relationship with Edwin Digweed; Novello and ambition and tenaciousness; Pascoe being brainy and grounded. I would prefer canon relationships to completely out of the way ones, though I think Novello could happily have sex with anyone. :) | letter |
| PenguinZero | Girl Friends (Manga) | Oohashi Akiko, Kumakura Mariko | I'm a big fan of Morinaga Milk, and I've always liked Girl Friends. But there's one thing that always bugs me about romance stories -- once the romance is established and set, that's very nearly the end. Girl Friends was a bit better about this than most -- showing some of the early bumps in their relationship -- but there's still a big, long future out there for Akko and Mari together. I'd like to see some of it. How do things work out with them going to different schools? Are there jealousy issues? How do they find time to spend with each other, and what sort of things do they do to keep their romance strong? Do they come out to their friends? What jobs do they eventually find, once they graduate -- there's a lot of options for a cosmetologist and a nutritionist, some prestigious, some less so. Do they have money troubles once they move in together? Do they try to get involved in Japan's gay scene -- and does it suit them at all? Do they ever consider going abroad to get married in one of the countries where gay marriage is legal? Does the political climate in Japan ever change enough that they could consider adopting kids? When they're old ladies together, what are the things they'll look back and laugh about, and what will they regret, if anything? Basically, they've got their whole lives in front of them. I'd kind of like to see whatever parts of it I can. |

| PenguinZero | Jem and the Holograms | Mary 'Stormer' Phillips, Kimber Benton | Looking back, Kimber and Stormer were the ones who got me interested in femslash before I even knew what femslash was. I just saw them quitting their bands to be with each other, and found the thought electrifying -- a change in the status quo, two really neat people playing off of each other, a dynamic that bridged the space between the 'good guys' and the 'bad guys' (which was unheard of in cartoons at the time). And then, of course, there was 'Bad Influence,' the song sung to try to break them apart, which in retrospect sounds like the Holograms saying Stormer would seduce Kimber into doing naughty things, and the Misfits saying Kimber would break Stormer's heart. (Seriously, that half of it wasn't even subtextual.) Since them, Jem's sort of faded to the back of my head as newer fandoms took its place, but I've always held a soft spot for it. I sometimes wonder things like 'what if they'd stayed together?' or 'what if they got back together post-series?' And wondering how deep you could take the subtext -- did they really get together during that time when they had left their bands? Did they just have an unresolved attraction? Did Stormer have a serious crush while Kimber was too naive to notice it? Things like that. I've seen a few stories based on premises like this over the years -- but it'd always be nice to see a fresh take on it. |
|
| PenguinZero | Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated (TV 2010) | Marcie Fleach, Velma Dinkley (Mystery Inc.) | Let's face it, the subtext between these two was pretty blatant, and probably quite intentional. But again, the question is how far did things go? My first thought is actually the post-series universe, after the rewrite. Marcie was very comfortable lounging with Velma on her bed, and of course famously called her 'my girl.' She was also quite unperturbed by Velma suddenly getting a wild idea and running off to chase it, making me feel like it had happened before. Just how close were they in this new universe? Dating, or not quite there yet? Did Marcie notice anything different about the version of Velma who remembered the old universe? How did Velma feel about being dropped into this relationship, if that's what it was? And how did Marcie react when Velma suddenly left her behind to go on a cross-country road trip? Of course, the old universe had a lot of potential, too. Marcie was crushing on Velma, but was it mutual? How did Marcie having to constantly shift allegiances play into it? They were working with each other for the summer, then Marcie joined the gang officially, but then she got tossed out when Daphne returned, and Velma did little to speak up for her. That's got to sting. (On a somewhat different note, I'm kind of intrigued by her creation of the Manticore and Dark Lilith suits -- the skills and possibly magical inspiration that helped her make it could be an interesting sub-plot.) |

| PenguinZero | Analogue: A Hate Story/Hate Plus (Visual novel series) | Mute (Analogue) | omething non-romantic for once, or at least not specifically romantic. *Mute was a tragically flawed character, and there's a lot to explore in her long life. I'm curious about her past in the early days of the Mungunghwa's journey, or even before -- what was she like before the ship degenerated into a feudal society? There's also the early democratic revolt to think about, and the death of *Star, the navigation AI, which doomed their mission. How did she react to that, and what did she think of *Star in the first place? And then there's the events of the game, and afterwards. I'll confess -- I like to think of the Harem route as my canon. Not because it gets the player multiple romantic interests, but because it manages to break the cycle of people being horrible to each other and themselves because they can't really *understand* each other and themselves. Oh Eun-a orchestrated the death of Old *Mute and the rise of the monarchy because she thought it would make her happy -- but it drove her catatonic, because she really didn't understand what she wanted, or the costs. Hyun-ae killed everyone on the ship because nobody could understand what was going on with her, and *Mute thought she was unrepentantly evil because she didn't know Hyun-ae had been silenced -- unable to communicate. Time and again, the problems of the ship come down to people not knowing how to relate to each other as people. Even in the two games, *Hyun-ae and *Mute are cut off from the Investigator by an artificial parser system that puts words in the Investigator's mouth, and so can't really shake them out of their own preconceptions. Only in the Harem route do *Hyun-ae and *Mute actually have another person to talk to -- and it changes both of them for the better. Heck, it saves *Mute's life. I almost view the Investigator as entirely superfluous there -- the real story is in the connection the two AIs make. So -- maybe a story having to do with the theme of communication? During the events of the game, or after it, or maybe even looking at how *Mute couldn't properly communicate with the people of the Mungunghwa, because of preconceptions on both sides getting in the way... |

| penitence_road | Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo | Any Nominated--Andrea Cavalcanti, Lucien Debray, Beauchamp or Baptistin. It's a weird mix of characters I asked for, so go with any one or combination of them you'd like. I liked all of them quite a bit, but they didn't get a tremendous amount of attention in the main series. Anything you want to tell me about any of them would be great, pre-series, post-series, mid-series; it's all good. | letter | |
| penitence_road | Emma - A Victorian Romance | Monica Mildrake, Hakim Atawari | Monica's Magical Journey of Self-Discovery. Literally all we see between Monica and Hakim is their first encounter, Monica's shock at her little sister getting engaged, and then suddenly Monica's gone haring off to India to ambiguously lounge around with Hakim for nearly twenty chapters. They barely exchange three sentences in canon, and barring those two tiny scenes we never see them together again. What the HELL happened there? | letter |
| penitence_road | Longshot (comic) | Longshot (Longshot), Arize (Longshot), Mojo (Longshot) | Longshot is a very annoying but very profitable bullet fired from his creator at the Spineless Ones. Longshot himself is oblivious to this fact. | letter |
| penitence_road | Monster (manga) | Dieter (Monster) | Anything about Dieter, but particularly something examining how his viewpoint is situated between that of a totally normal person and a person deeply warped by their childhood brainwashing. | letter |

| Pennae | Lost Girl | Bo (Lost Girl), Kenzi (Lost Girl) | I've always wanted to read a fic where Bo is sent to another world where she didn't exsit. Whether there are fae or not in the new world is up to you. Kenzi is my favorite character, so I'd like her to be part of the story one way or another. | |

| pentapus | Yoroiden Samurai Troopers | Ronin Warriors | Hashiba Touma | Rowen Hashiba, Sanada Ryou | Ryo Sanada | Ryo, Mia, and Rowen are my favorites, but I love them all. Gen, romance, or gen + romance with at least one of those three involved would be perfect. (Note that I don't like Sage/Rowen or Cye/Kento, but everything else is golden.) This show is my first love, and I'm flexible. I'm interested in friendship and a bit of peril or just a story about everyday things--an excuse for Ryo to stand in a snow drift with a betrayed expression, for Rowen to think too much, or for Mia to wander her house in an afghan in the middle of the night. You can run with just that, but in case you'd like more, I have provided prompts. Any of them would be great, but so would something completely different! [ONE] Mia is finishing her dissertation. It's fraught! Any pairing or none. [TWO] Mystical powers appearing in mundane life. Ghost stories, weird weather, developing abilities (voluntary or not! Convenient or not!), or something much simpler, etc, etc. [THREE] Mia's family seems to have either money or history. Either one of these interacts with the boys or their magic. [FOUR] Netherworld post-show: what's it like living in (basically) feudal Japan with demons? From the practical challenges of youja government to the quirks of the local book stall. What do they think of the boys? Or Inferno/Kikoutei? [FIVE] Any alternate universe! Such as: Feudal AU, Ninja AU, Steampunk AU, Samaria AU, Insert-your-favorite-period-or-genre AU, Ryo-the-badass-soccer-player AU, Backpackers-meet-the-supernatural AU, or just Something-is-slightly-different AU, etc... ANYTHING. :D [SIX] The history of the armor has consequences in the present. Family history! Byakuen! Warlords! Inferno! How were the bearers chosen?!? Someone with competing claims? Etc! [SEVEN] Life goes on. Teenagers don't stay teenagers. Tell me a story you learned about transitions in life. (...a hopeful story? I hope?) [EIGHT] ANYTHING. |
letter |
| pentapus | Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells | I like friendship, mortal peril, and characters who don't have it all figured out (alternatively, dorks). Here are some prompts. You can use any part of these or something else entirely. I would read a story about any character. [ONE] Tell any of the juicy stories alluded to in canon but never told — Azure and Stone. Indigo and Cloud. Stone's children, Stone's travels. Pearl and Rain. Malachite and Dusk. Malachite vs. Onyx. [TWO] Slightly different AU -one of those AU fics where everything changes but your favorite characters gets together anyway. Like Moon grows up like a real consort or Jade has plenty of consorts to choose from. [THREE] Court politics! Gender politics! World building! How are courts governed? Who's rich, who's poor? What does powerful mean in a Raksuran court? How do all the artisanal goods really get produced? INTRIGUE. OR CRAZY SCARY GIANT PREDATOR LIZARDS. BOTH CANON! [FOUR] Alternate POVs - of the Raksura by other races living in the forests. OR a scene (or missing scene) from the books from the perspective of a character other than Moon. [FIVE] The history of the court has consequences in the present. Exiled consorts! Cloud's history in Emerald Twilight! Opal Night! How does any of this effect what happens next? [SIX] Malachite. Moon. My two very favorites. Just give me something about one of them. [SEVEN] ANYTHING. |
letter | |
| pentapus | Lilo & Stitch (2002) | Lilo Pelekai, Nani Pelekai, David Kawena | [ONE] I would like to see Lilo grown up, either on Earth or involved in the United Galactic Federation or some combination of both. 21, 30, 45... Student, surfer, sandwich maker, igneous petrologist, space pilot, adventure tourism entrepreneur, whatever you imagine. Gen is good, but romance and OCs are also good. [TWO] A story about Nani. Or David. Also, don't feel like you're required to make them the "mundane" characters in the background of Lilo's antics. Unless you want to. [THREE] I would love to see a post-movie story about the Lilo and Stitch characters inspired by another classic genre/cliche - e.g. spy movie, film noir, nature/scientific documentary, treasure hunters, cooking show, space opera, police procedural, mystery, space western, regular western, VOLCANOES, etc etc etc. Bonus if you can incorporate the existence of this star wars-esque civilization that lives out there in the Lilo & Stitch universe. Could also be AU |
letter |
| pentapus | The Death of the Necromancer - Martha Wells | I would love to see something with Madeline, Reynard, Ari, or Tremaine, but would especially love if Madeline was included in someway no matter which prompt you choose. I enjoy Nicholas, but he's a little too "expects to be right, is right, and acts smug through all of it”. If he's around, I would like to see some sign (even if it's just a sentence) that he doesn't have it all figured out - though preferably not brought on by someone else who "expects to be right, is right, and acts smug through all of it”. SOME PROMPTS: [MADELINE]: I would like to see her doing her thing — whether acting or living her life of crime. I just love her set up - she's not from a wealthy background (though there is sorcery there), so she's entered the theater while supporting her "starving actress" life by being a conwoman. Very pragmatic, very gritty life on the streets -- but now she's famous! She's Kate Winslet! And she's still life-of-criming it up. That must feel surreal. Glitzy parties, articles about me, boys fawning, oh, just have to break into this safe, 'scuse me. I'm also interested in how she offsets Nicholas — or how she met him and whether she knew what he was at the time. Would also love for the story to focus on her relationship with another of the crime team. [REYNARD]: Every story needs its swashbuckling badass with a heart of gold, and what can I say, Reynard's a pretty good one. Tell me a story about his job in the crime team, or about the life of not-crime he takes on between Death of the Necromancer and Tremaine's trilogy. (Ooh, it would be neat to see Reynard's POV of the lead up to his cameo in the Ile-Rien trilogy. Resistance networks! Stealing cars!) Give me some swashbuckling and some heart of gold. Romance would be fun too! I would prefer not to see him paired with Nicholas, but anybody else, including OCs is great. [ARISILDE]: This character breaks my heart, and so does Nicholas' terrifyingly pragmatic acceptance of Arisilde's death in the later trilogy. He is powerful and kind but after an awful tragedy, he has this gradual nervous breakdown and history of mental illness. Then he is trapped in a mechanical sorcery ball from which he can't communicate, and being rescued from it just means dying... pretty much some nightmares of mine all wrapped up! Is there a way to write Ari that isn't depressing but doesn't gloss over the truth of his breakdown and illness? A challenge! I guess I'd like to see the rest of the team interacting with Ari. Or you know, we never really get to see Ari open up a can of whoopass on something or someone. I would totally read that too. Or Arisilde and Nicholas at school? Arisilde and Nicholas building the wizard spheres? [TREMAINE]: a.k.a. possibly my favorite female character of all time. Her super power is on-the-fly decision making. She's mousy, wearing tweed, isn't particularly friendly, and is wracked with doubt, but when placed in a situation beyond comprehension, she's the one who says immediately "Ok, I'm going to go steal that truck.” Would love to see a story set in her trilogy or after that ties back to the Death of the Necromancer crew. Or for her to be a supporting character in a story about one of the other crew — whether it's pregnant Madeline still involved in a heist, or Ari or Nicholas while Tremaine's a child, or Reynard getting his 007 on while Tremaine is fighting the war against the Gardier. |

| PercyByssheShelley | Werewolf (Party Game) | Villager (Werewolf), Werewolf (Werewolf) | In some versions there is a mechanic where two players, a villager and a werewolf, can be designated as lovers. If this happens, the object of the game for these players changes to killing off the other players so that they are free to be together. I really think my Christmas would be improved by star crossed lovers on a murder spree. If that doesn't sound like your bag, or you'd prefer to write gen, I'd be equally excited by a fic that used the game as the basis for a gothic horror story. |
letter |
| PercyByssheShelley | Gone Home | Kaitlin "Katie" Greenbriar, Oscar Masan, Sam Greenbriar, Lonnie Desoto | This fandom is definitely one where I'm happy for you to pick and choose rather than use all the nominated characters, considering that one of them is dead by the time the canon starts. NB: This prompt has major spoilers for the game. Sam/Lonnie: I would love a future fic for these two, especially something set around the time of the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. I'd prefer something that focused on their feelings and the impact Lonnie's decision not to go into the military had on their relationship, rather than an issue fic about the law itself. Katie: Unless I missed some clues during my playthrough, Katie was the only member of the family not to have a story of her own. So what was her story? It seems like her decision to come home from Europe was rather sudden, was there a reason for that? Oscar Masan: I found it striking that Oscar's letter to his sister was in the house. Why? Did he never send it? Did she return it unopened? Did she give it back to him? |
letter |
| PercyByssheShelley | Y: The Last Man | Ciba Weber | I'd love a fic where Ciba gathered surviving NASA and Roscosmos scientists to reestablish the space program. Or if you'd prefer to focus on her personal life, something that dealt with what it would be like to raise a child who is treated like Jesus. Or during his teenage years, wrestling with the ethical questions of when to allow (or encourage) him to start fathering children. Or if you'd prefer to write smut, I wouldn't say no to a devil's threesome in space. |
letter |
| PercyByssheShelley | Pleasantville (1998) | The end of the film shows a highway sign giving distances to other towns, and buses arriving in Pleasantville. This implies that either the fictional town appeared in the real world, or that Pleasantville's fictional world expanded. If the town appeared in the real world, I'd love to see a fic dealing with the implications of that. Was there a Roswell style cover up? If the fictional world expanded, does that mean that it's an entirely separate parallel universe, with a history that progressed differently to our own? Do other fictional towns exist in this universe? |
letter | |
| Percygranger | Pocahontas (1995) | Anything? Seriously, if none of these capture your interest (pun intended) I will take anything. John Smith being captured and manhandled after Kocoum's injury/death has always been my favorite part of the movie.... So something along those lines? I've always enjoyed the tension and suspense captivity causes. Will he get hurt/killed? What's going to happen to him? AU endings entirely welcome. I'd also like to see Kocoum (and perhaps other side characters) survive and deal with the outcome of the movie... And heck, if someone wanted to make it more realistic and chew on the lovely issues of immigration/imperialism, I would so take that. Something funny with the animal characters? |
letter | |
| Percygranger | Blood Ties | Coreen Fennel, Mike Cellusci (Blood Ties), Henry Fitzroy (Blood Ties), Vicki Nelson (Blood Ties) | o, threesome anyone? Twosomes and foursomes also welcome (bring on the minor characters). I'd really like to see what they don't show on television. When's the first time Vicky decides to take Henry home? Do Henry and Coreen have a casual fling going on? Henry and Mike grudge-sex? I'd love to see them all get together. Witty banter! Logistics of more than two bodies. Fluff snuggles. Comfy blood-drinking? God, I'd love to see Henry all knowledgeable and comfortable with any kind of arrangement. Angst-free sex is really what I'm going for. I also rather loved the Heart of Fire, Heart of Ice two-parter. (captivity, whump, grudges/reasons for it, be still my heart) Who or what else from Henry's past could come back to haunt him? Badassery in both protagonists and antagonists would be very appreciated. Oh, oh. BDSM. Henry as sub? Vicky and/or Mike so totally domming... Coreen I can see as either, really. If you have another vision of this, go for it! |
letter |
| Percygranger | Roswell (TV) | Liz Parker | My favorite episode of the series is probably Toy House. Keeping secrets (menacing Sheriff!), angst, coming out, precious childhood memories, mother/son and mother/daughter relationships? All so good. I'd like to see how it could possibly end the other way, with Max deciding to trust his parent(s). Or maybe something pre-dating Alex's death? Fluffy and sweet friendship, since we didn't get to see a lot of them all hanging out. If you want to include feelings of alienation/being an outsider, that would be magnificent. Maybe an introspective piece in Liz's viewpoint? |
letter |
| Percygranger | The Pretender | Jarod (the Pretender) | Maybe an episode, or part of one? A Pretend, Parker and Sydney (and Broots, or maybe some less savory characters) chasing Jarod as he tries to commit a good deed, perhaps learn something new, and slip away. I'd love to see it in the style of the last season: A bit darker, with Jarod knowing more, comfortable with "normal” social situations, and using his knowledge in a less innocent fashion. Jarod learning something about the darker side of humanity? Or teaching someone something, although I'd prefer that be a positive thing. Oooh, Jarod learning about sex with men or BDSM or a part of the QUILTBAG community. That would be awesome. |

| Percygranger | Okane ga Nai | Ayase Yukiya, Kanou Somuku | The Confining Room done as an AU? If that's not interesting to you, then...angst or fluff from Ayase's perspective, perhaps? The inside of the relationship, with all its dubious overtones, is very interesting to me. I'd really like to see Ayase working out how to live and be in a relationship with this person who has essentially enslaved him. Him dealing internally, talking to Someya, Kanou, or even one of the bodyguards would be interesting. |

| perdiccas | YogsQuest (Web Series) | Duncan the Gnome Wizard (YogsQuest), Sjin the Rat King (YogsQuest), Pretty Margaret the Orc (YogsQuest) | Youtube playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3XZNMGhpynMRseqItX2p310Alck5Vsj6 I figure there's two different ways you could approach this, either you could write something completely set in the world of Wook or you could do something a bit more meta that includes the dice rolling and reality tv-style confessionals, the map and Lewis as the Dungeon Master. I'd be thrilled to read either but I'm not interested in Yogscast RPF. I do like RPF in general but for Yuletide, I'm more interested in the stories of their D&D characters and I liked that even when they were dice rolling and goofing off around the map, they were doing so nominally in character. Gen only, please. Don't feel you have to include all three characters if you can't make it work - I'd be equally happy to receive a fic that just focused on one of the three (or any combination thereof). I'm not interested in world building or stories where OCs are major characters. For more ramble-y & specific prompts, check out my letter (apologies in advance for the length, I got excited!) |
letter |
| perdiccas | Nikita (TV 2010) | Alexandra "Alex" Udinov, Seymour Birkhoff (Nikita 2010) | I can't explain it, but I ship these two like crazy! I'd love anything from action-adventure style mission fic to hurt/comfort where one of them gets injured in the field and the other has to patch them up, to role reversal fic where Birkhoff has to brave the great outdoors while Alex is grounded and has to play tech support, to ridiculous spy cliches like Alex needing to seduce Birkhoff in S1 to get a pass card or some information to more dubconny cliches like bad guys made them do it to more kinky fic: medical check ups with a medical fetish slant or something where S1 Birkhoff is reluctantly running experiments on Alex on Amanda's orders. Any rating. Please no noncon or anything that focuses on Alex's PTSD and experiences prior to Division and no adultery. NC17 is more than welcome. I'm happy to read all consensual kinks except bondage (not a slam on bondage, it just makes me anxious to read, I'm sorry. My brain is weird like that sometimes.) For more specific and ramble-y prompts please check out my letter! |
letter |
| perdiccas | Under The Dome (TV) | Angie McAlister, Phil Bushey | Gen preferred. Don't feel you have to include both characters if you can't make it work. I'd prefer fic set while the Dome was over Chester's Mill rather than pre- or post-series fic. I'd enjoy something exploring the issue of survival in a town completely cut off from the outside world. I love hurt/comfort. I'd love something about Angie's new role as the owner of the diner or something about Phil and his shady connections in the gambling world. I love freak weather stories and the idea of Angie and Phil having to rely on each to survive an earthquake or sudden snowstorm (huddling for warmth???). I love adventure stories and shoot outs and people thinking on their feet to get out of tough situations. No noncon or major character death, please. No Angie/Junior unless Angie is just pretending as a means to a greater end. Nothing focused on Phil grieving for Dodee, please. See letter for more ramble-y and specific details. Sorry for the excessive rambling, I'm just excited about Yuletide! |
letter |
| perdiccas | Bates Motel (2013) | Dylan Massett, Ethan Chang, Bradley Martin | I love Dylan and pretty much anything about Dylan would make me happy whether you include Ethan or Bradley too or not. I'd prefer something where things happen - gun fights, sneaking around in the dark looking for information, going on a dangerous mission, protecting the drugs, injury based hurt/comfort - to a more introspective character study. I'd enjoy any of: action-adventure style gen about Dylan, gen about Dylan and Ethan's friendship/work relationship, gen about Dylan and Bradley's friendship/quest to find out what happened to her dad, Dylan/Ethan, Dylan/Bradley UST (pre-het? is that a term people use?) I have complicated feelings about Dylan/Bradley that I explain more in my letter in great ramble-y detail (sorry!) but the tldr version is that I enjoy the canon levels of sexual tension between them and the idea that they both want each other, but with Dylan refusing to take it further in case it makes Norman snap and hurt Bradley as a result. I'd prefer if things stayed at that level of wanting to but never actually hooking up. I'm not interested in pre-series backstory. No explicit incest, please. I enjoy the tension and creepiness of the incestuous undertones on the show but Dylan/Norma and Dylan/Norman don't do it for me, sorry. |

| PerfidiousFate | Matantei Loki Ragnarok | Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok | This is one of my favourite anime/manga fandoms since it combines two of my favourite things: mythology and shenanigans! I'd love to see fic about more mythological figures not explored in the canon or manga in the canon setting. A casefic, starring Loki and his kids, would also be awesome. Or even Ragnarok! Anything focusing on Hel and her realm, and how she rules it, would be great too. I would also really, really love any fic about Loki and his kids as a family, whether it's fluff or exploring some of the darker aspects of the way they relate. Any individual relationship between them would be good, too — how did Yamino and Hel get along? What did Fenrir think of his father pre-canon? But basically, whatever you want to write would be great! | letter | |
| PerfidiousFate | RWBY | Yang Xiao Long, Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee | In this fandom, I really love the awesome aesthetic - and also, the adorable characters. I'd be happy with any fic focusing on Team RWBY! I love Ruby and Yang's relationship, so anything exploring that would be cool. Pre-canon shenanigans? Them going on a mission? What do they fight about? Anything about Ruby and Yang's sisterly relationship would be great. Otherwise, some Team RWBY ensemble fic would be awesome! How do they learn to fight and live together? Does anyone ever find out about Blake reading Ninjas of Love? How do they go about their classes? What do they do for fun? Weiss and Ruby trying to get along would be fun too — and if that develops into Weiss/Ruby, I'd be very pleased. Anything you'd like to write would be great, though! | letter |
| PerfidiousFate | Remnants - K. A. Applegate | Honestly, for this fandom, I would enjoy anything you choose to write! Feel free to write about characters who weren't nominated, or just worldbuild. I'd love to see Violet and 2Face's relationship explored, how they viewed each other and the ever-shifting balance between admiration and hate. Tamara coping after the Baby was destroyed, in the three-month timeskip, would be great too. Anything about Billy Weir —him and Mother, him and the Baby, him and Jobs or Mo'Steel, him growing up before the Rock, him in the Shadow Zone — would be interesting. Or tell me about their society post-regreening: what happened to D-Caf and everyone else, did they manage to rebuild, did their children remember them? Or, I'd love n AU where The Rock didn't hit — how would each of the Remnants' lives have turned out? | letter | |
| PerfidiousFate | 8-Bit Theater | For this fandom, I'd be happy with anything you wrote! An adventure with the Light Warriors in the tone of the canon would be cool; so would a darkfic exploring any of the deeply disturbing things that happen in the comic, whether it's Black Mage's psyche or any of the pain or suffering the Light Warriors have wrought. A fic set post-canon would be interesting: how does Thief fare with being a king? Does Black Mage ever rid himself of Fighter? I'd also love an AU, like a steampunk fic, or what if they were in a different video game genre? Anything you'd like to write would be awesome. (Secretly, I also ship Thief/Red Mage, so if you want to write about them, that'd be great too!) | letter | |
| PerfidiousFate | The Seventh Tower - Garth Nix | I love the world built in this book series, so any fic exploring that would be great. Beyond that, I would really like to see what happens post-canon; how does Tal do with his new responsibilities? Does he struggle with balancing his family and his duties? I'd love to see the nitty-gritty of him dealing with politics and the ingrained mindsets of the population. How do he and Milla reform their world, and do they retain their friendship? Maybe they go on adventures through the castle. How does Sushin deal the aftermath of what he'd done in the books? And really, what is up with Ebbitt? How does he deal with the Crones? I would love to see fic exploring any of this. Any fic you would like to write about these books would be awesome, though! | letter | |

| peroxidepest17 | 드림하이 | Dream High | Song Sam-dong, Hyun Shi-hyuk, Go Hye-mi | I am fascinated with the ten year gap that happens in the last episode and want a look at how the characters (Jason and Pilsook included if possible!) get to those points in their lives and careers. Particularly I'm interested in Hye-mi and Sam-dong's relationship and whether or not they managed to keep it intact, as well as their friendship with Shi-hyuk. I just OT3 them all pretty hard and would love to see a look into their professional careers and how they relate to one another over that ten year period. | |
| peroxidepest17 | My Boss My Hero (TV) | Sakaki Makio, Sakurakoji Jun, Sakaki Mikio, Manabe Kazuya | This is basically my every-year nomination/request fandom, because it was the first J-drama I ever watched and fell completely in love with. In particular I love the story of the Makio and Mikio as brothers, and how they relate to each other not just as unlikely rivals but as close family as well. I particularly love over-protective big brother stories, and would love to see Makio looking out for Mikio in that gruff, idiotic way he must have when they were kids, particularly after their mother died. I also would love to see the reverse of that in adulthood, where Mikio uses his brains to help protect his big brother all while under the guise of pretending not to care or pretending not to do anything. I think the two of them would be an amazing team, and I would love to see them come to that realization as different sides of the same coin. (Also their dad is pretty great, so basically any Sakaki family bonding is all I could ever want in this fandom now.) | |
| peroxidepest17 | Friends and Family (2001) | Stephen Torcelli, Danny Russo, Victor Patrizzi | I saw this movie over the summer and fell in love with it, particularly given how rich it is in backstory that is briefly explained but never really told in detail. As such I would love a pre-movie look at Danny and Stephen in the rangers, and how they met, how they fell in love, and how they risked their careers by violating DADT to do it. Also, I would love to see how they meet the Don and what his reaction to them is upon hiring them and finding out they're gay as well. | |
| peroxidepest17 | Tiger & Dragon | Nakatani Ginjiro, Yamazaki Kotora, Yanaka Ryuji | What I would love to see from Tiger and Dragon is a post-series look at Ginjiro and how he goes from reluctant yakuza heir to downright competent business-savy leader. Watching him learn his father's trade and then apply his own intelligence to modernize and sympathize the gang would be great, and I would also love to see him continue to look to Kotora for guidance, even after Kotara is out of the life. Also I would love to see Ginjiro snipe with Ryuji about his shitty fashion sense. | |

| perryvic | The Chronicles of St Mary's - Jodi Taylor | Madeleine 'Max' Maxwell, Leon Farrell, Tim Peterson, The Boss (St. Mary's) | This is a really amazing e-book and I'm really hoping there are people out there who have read it aside from me. The characters are brilliant, the pace rompy. I will take anything in the universe at all. missing bits, snippets, speculations, character studies - whatever you've got! | letter |
| perryvic | Uncharted | Nathan Drake, Harry Flynn, Charlie Cutter, Chloe Frazer | Uncharted...the first PS3 game to suck me in and make me believe I was part of the action. I love the characters in Uncharted, their banter and their glimpses of history. I desperately wanted Harry Flynn to redeem himself at the end of Uncharted 2 because his and Nate's interaction there bespoke a great familiarity and he did save his life more than once. I also liked the back story of Nate and Sully in Uncharted 3 and Chloe is cool in general! In fact I like all characters really so it could be a missing scene or something from a fictional past or a fixit future...I'd love it all! | letter |
| perryvic | Belgariad/Malloreon Series - David & Leigh Eddings | Silk (Belgariad/Malloreon), Polgara (Belgariad/Malloreon), Eriond (Belgariad/Malloreon), Zakath (Belgariad/Malloreon) | Anything! Gen or whatever! I love this series so missing scenes or insights into peoples thoughts or what comes next is amazing! I really like Garion (But he not on the drop down) and Silk. Silk was described as a complicated character but they didn''t delve into how and why, Frankly, anything with any of the characters would make me very happy | letter |
| perryvic | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Samuel Vimes, Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax, The Summoning Dark, Death (Discworld) | I am a die hard discworld fan! I love all the characters - I was going to list my favourites and then the list went on and on and on. If I had to narrow it down, Vimes/the guards and the Witches are probably edging out there ahead but really...who am I kidding? All of them, any of them. It would be very intriguing to see what Granny Weatherwax would make of Vimes and the Summoning Dark for a start. | letter |
| Persephones_Keeper | The Godfather (1972 1974 1990) | Connie Corleone Rizzi Michael Corleone | To me, Connie's journey during The Godfather trilogy is just as interesting and important as Michael's, we just don't see as much of her. I would love to see a story focusing on Connie and her relationship with her brother. Am especially intrigued by her progression from abused wife to Michael's consigliere. | letter |
| Persephones_Keeper | The Aeneid - Virgil | Dido of Carthage | Oh, Dido what a waste of an awesome queen! Basically, I would love to see a story about her that avoids her horrible fate. It can be something as simple as her escape from her brother or maybe an AU where she lives and goes on to found a kingdom with Aeneas for Carthaginians and Trojans alike. | letter |
| Persephones_Keeper | Greek Mythology | Clytemnestra (Greek Mythology) | Clytemnestra is one of my favorite women of Greek Mythology. I've always been upset about her fate, because if Agamemenon and Clytemnestra's positions had been reversed, their children would have felt no need for vengeance. I've always imagined an AU in which Clytemnestra spares Cassandra, Orestes never shows up, and Clytemnestra continues a happy reign with Aegisthus, with Cassandra as her royal advisor or even lover. Of course, the possibilities for Clytemnestra fic are endless. There's also her childhood growing up as the mortal sibling of two demigods (I would prefer that Helen and Clytemeestra not have an adversarial relationship.) Even a canon complaint chronicle of the events of The Orestia from Clytemnestra's view is welcome, as long as she is portrayed as morally ambiguous and not a straight-out villain. | letter |
| Persephones_Keeper | The Hour | Lix Storm, Randall Brown | The 2nd season of the Hour was full of many wonderful moments, but it's the story of ex-lovers Lix Storm and Randall Brown, plus their tragic backstory that really stole my heart. I would love to see a fic about them working through years of pain and guilt and finally reuniting and having fantastic make-up sex after the events of S2. | letter |
| Persephones_Keeper | Vikings (TV) | Siggy (Vikings), Lagertha (Vikings) | Queens! That's basically what I want. As of the finale, Lagertha and Siggy have bought lost their daughters and Ragnar has left Lagertha for another woman. I would love a fic where Lagertha and Siggy bond and become lovers (or just friends if you're not into femslash), and rule the Earldom together. In fact, with Lagertha's battle prowess, I can totally see her raising an army and carving out a kingdom for her and Siggy to rule. Umm, please no Rollo. I realize other people are fans of the character, but I personally can't stand him. Also, please don't bash Athelstan, I imagine Lagertha will have some harsh feelings about the woman, but I don't want her to be straight out villainized. |
letter |
| Persephones_Keeper | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Jennifer Mills, Abbie Mills | Demon-hunting sisters! I can't begin to describe how much I love Abbie and Jenny Mills and would be thrilled to see an exploration of their relationship; past, present, or future. There's so much potential for a story about these two, their contentious past, a slow rebuilding of their relationship, a quest together, an AU in which the sisters are actually the two witnesses. I'm also interested in knowing why Moloch chose them. I find it hard to believe he would reveal himself to them by accident. I didn't request Ichabod, but I love him to pieces and would be fine I'd you like to include him. I'm also cool with Ichabod/Abbie or Ichabod/Jenny, as long as the sisters remain the focal point of the story. I would prefer that there be no incest, I just can't see Abbie and Jenny in this context. |

| Person | Bastion | The Kid (Bastion), Rucks (Bastion), Zulf (Bastion), Zia (Bastion) | MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE GAME IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED IT AND WANT TO! I love this game, and these characters, and this world. Anything with them is fine with me! I'm a bit OT4ish about them, or rather I don't ship Zulf and Rucks together but ship them both with Zia and The Kid with Rucks and Zulf generally at peace with sharing them as long as no one tries to make the two of them do more than tolerate each others company. I'm fascinated by their lives in either ending, whether they're exploring the ruined world and looking for a new place to settle or reliving their lives with a constant feeling of deja vu. I like thinking that they, or at Zia and The Kid, have the sense that there are people out there that they're SUPPOSED to be with, a place that they belong, but they never know where until they find each other. Or, if you want to spin things off in a different direction, I always theorized that the reason Ruck's solution didn't work was because they lost the Sundown Path core so the Bastion never reached full power, so how will things go if The Kid's deja vu gets strong enough for him to realize he needs to book it to the core before the Gasbag gets it and they successfully restore the world with their memories intact? |
letter |
| Person | Drag-On Dragoon | Drakengard | MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST ENDING OF THE GAME IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED IT AND WANT TO! I'd love to see something worldbuildingish expanding on one (or more!) of the weapon stories in the games. So many of them (well, apart from the ones that are just variations of 'This weapon has killed a bunch of people') give us the tiniest glimpses of stories that seem like there's so much more there to hear about; that one with the little girl who teamed up with a dragon to get revenge on the people who killed her family could be a game all on its own! Alternately, if you offered Caim or Angelus and aren't interested in the weapons, I'd be very interested in something set between the two games fleshing out what happened there. Was there an actual good reason that the seal needed to be strengthened that Caim wouldn't listen to in his fury, or did Verdelet just think Angelus could bear more than the previous goddesses did and Caim's wrath was justifiable because she didn't need to suffer that much? |
letter | |
| Person | The Fairyland Series - Catherynne M. Valente | September Morning Bell, Halloween (The Fairyland Series), Shadow Maud (The Fairyland Series) | MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE SECOND BOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT AND WANT TO! Okay, I'll admit that I'm basically hoping for someone to write the ending to the second book that I thought was coming. With the references to Shadow Maud being so much like September that she could stand as her shadow too, and September's increasingly starting to recognize that Halloween deserved life as her own person too I really thought the book was going to end with Maud choosing to become September's shadow while Halloween gets to live on beneath Fairyland (after learning a very important lesson about not stealing people's shadows and magic, of course). But if that doesn't work for you, further adventures of any of the girls would be fun. How strange must it be to wander around aware that your shadow is her own person who might not agree with things your doing? How often does Halloween get persnickety because she wants a chance to stretch her legs? How does Maud adjust to knowing that her son still exists (and that the human Maud still has no idea)? I'm not a fan of September/Saturday, so I would prefer no nods to it please. (I am mildly intrigued by the idea of Halloween/Saturday though, as a twist on the mother of his daughter through features they have in common.) |
letter |
| Person | Nier Gestalt | Nier | Gretel (Nier), Lost Temple Shades (Nier Gestalt), Mother Goose (Nier) | MAJOR SPOILERS FOR NEW GAME + MODE OF THE GAME IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED IT YET AND WANT TO! Obviously, I really want some boss fic, with the things we learn about them once we understand what they're saying! We got to see so little of Gretel's developing relationship with the relapsed shades in the temple, just quick scenes of her looking down on them, than barely starting to accept them, and then they are her dearest friends forever who she relies on! There must be an awful lot of missing story there. Honestly, I would love some fix-it fic where Nier doesn't beat them all, even though I do like him and the party. They don't even need to defeat Nier and the party, maybe Gretel recognizes him as he's coming and herds everyone out of there rather then face him again. Alternately, what on earth is going through Mother Goose's mind, fighting with the babies still attached to her? Does she just feel that if they don't stop Nier and the party there that there's no hope for them anyway so there's no time to carry them somewhere safe? Or does she trust her own strength to keep them safe within her? Or, if you just want to do something cute with all three characters I requested, maybe Mother Goose could bring the babies through the gate to the temple every so often as a reminder to Gretel and the others of what they're protecting by staying there. (I'm using female pronouns for Gretel and Mother Goose because of their names, but you don't need to stick with that if you don't want to.) |
letter |
| Person | The Simpsons | Lisa Simpson, Nelson Muntz | Hey, there aren't major spoilers for once! :-) This is a pretty hugely nostalgia-riffic request for me. Lisa's Date With Density aired when I was at JUST the right age for it to hit me in my preteeny feels and leave me with a soft-spot for them that never went away. I always love when nods to it come up again. So I'd really enjoy something set in the future with them trying it again (which doesn't need to work out any better than the first time if you don't want it too, though I'd rather they break up amicably). Maybe even trying it again more than once over the years, slowly growing into a pair of people who's personalities mesh well together without her wanting to change him, or him finding her too goody-goody. If you don't want to write pairing fic for the two of them I'd be perfectly fine with friendship, but please don't have her end up with Milhouse. |
letter |
| Person | Psychonauts | Razputin Aquato, Sasha Nein | I'd love some mission fic. You don't even need to go deeply into what the mission itself is, I'd just be really interested in seeing how the brain-diving we do in-game translates to using it against villains who're actively against them instead of people who are generally okay with them. Future summers at camp would be fun too! I always see Raz as continuing to go even when he's way too old for it, because he's still too young to be a real Psychonaut and they're the only ones who treat him like he is anyway. Maybe he starts acting as a counselor himself? I will freely admit that I ship these two once Raz is several years older; honestly, if they mentioned his age earlier it probably would have kept me from starting but I spent most of my first playthrough thinking from his personality that Raz (and several of the more mature campers) was teenaged and was just so short as a stylistic thing the separate the campers from the counselors more clearly and by the time 'I'm 10' came up I was pretty firmly into them. But if the idea squicks you out don't feel at all like you need to work it in to make me happy. |

| pesha | American Horror Story | Tate Langdon | Tate still fascinates me. He's a psychopath presented in a positive light only because he's showcased through the eyes of the beholder for the most part and the beholder was someone who loved him. His mother loved him for being her "beautiful boy" and Violet loved him because he was the first person who seemed to understand her. We're even presented that Nora loved him because he tried to give her a child to replace the one that was lost and because Tate is the only one who loves the monster that her husband made her son into after he was lost. I would like anything with Tate set during any time frame. | letter |
| pesha | Drive (2011) | Driver (Drive 2011) | Everything about this film was The Driver for me. If I could have only one request this year, it would be for this film. It encapsulates the feeling of an older, darker style that I really enjoy. I love gritty films. I love gritty fiction. I love gritty characters. The Driver comes across as a dual-persona almost because he is Everyman and No Man at the same time. He is every ordinary guy, living every ordinary life, and he is no one that anyone would admit knowing at the same time. His life is outside the lines of ordinary lives. He is outside ordinary lives. I would love anything featuring another glimpse at who he is/was, where he's going, where he came from, what he wants, what matters to him, anything. I love him. If you want to feature Irene with him, I'm fine with that. If you would prefer to emphasize his work life, that's good too and you can go wild with either the work he does as a legal stunt driver or as a less-than-legal associate of less-than-legal people. | letter |
| pesha | The Following | Really. Any. I hate the things that Emma Hill does on the show, but as a character she is very compelling. I love Ryan Hardy in ways that are obscenely offensive to my wife. I think the way that Jacob Wells and Paul Torres loved one another was real and that they were both more real when they were living a fake life as fake people together than they ever were when they were living their own "real lives." I believe that Mike Weston is the Everyman in this story. He's the quintessential Good Guy and is the only one that I really trust at this point. I have nothing but respect for Claire Matthews since she is the kind of female character who rarely comes along in television as she is anything but a victim in the story. I would love anything you wanted to write for The Following. I could go on forever. This entire world fascinates me. Feel free to explore away! | letter | |
| pesha | Bates Motel (2013) | Norman Bates, Norma Bates | Anyone who knows the story knows where we're heading with the show. It isn't, at heart, a Happy-Ever-After kind of story. I do believe that Norma is the kind of woman who believes -in her own, dark and vaguely wrong way- in Happy-Ever-Afters which means I think that she's willing to do anything to make sure her son gets his happy ending for his story. Given Norma's own revelations about her past, I think it wouldn't be wrong to say that she has inappropriate thoughts about her son. She definitely has an inappropriate reaction to his relationships with other people. I'd like to see a little more of their inappropriate relationship myself. I am a fan of incest in fiction so I wouldn't mind it to be a physical relationship, but it doesn't have to be. We see Norman sleeping with her in the same bed, talking with her about things that most teenagers don't discuss with their mothers willingly, and spending more time with her than any teenage boy I know would ever volunteer to spend with their mother. You can pick any time frame during the show that you like to go with for it or you can go before the show or after. Please don't write sex with Norman under the age he is on the show since he's just 17 in the series and any younger than that starts to make me feel like a dirty old woman. | letter |
| pesha | Colters' Legacy - Maya Banks | Ryan Colter, Ethan Colter, Adam Colter | I would like fiction set before the introduction of Holly for this one. I would, specifically, like a story about when the brothers decided that they wanted to live the lifestyle that they chose. They were raised with three fathers who were all brothers, but what made these guys decide this was the life that they wanted? When did that conversation take place? Who was the first to bring it up? Did they have a discussion about the kind of woman they all wanted? Was there a discussion on "do's and don't's" for when the time came for them to meet their wife? Did anyone say they had a hard-and-fast rule for no-touching each other? Do we think that they have an issue with touching each other? I'm pretty okay with anything in that line of thinking. I am also open to incest/slash between the brothers though I do like the idea that they entered into that with the thought in mind that they would one day be incorporating a woman into their relationship with one another as an equal partner. | letter |
| pesha | Hemlock Grove | Roman Godfrey, Peter Rumancek | They have a lot of banter that I greatly enjoy. I love the intimacy of their relationship. There was something very compelling for me in the way that they showed Peter allowing Roman to observe his change. I loved that they didn't glorify the werewolf transformation. I thought Roman's reaction to it was brilliant. They come from very different worlds and I can appreciate how they barely fit together, yet they do fit all the same. I love that they were both in love with Letha in their own way. The way they get along just does it for me. I'd like anything with Roman and Peter in it. They can be talking, fighting, fucking, I'm good with anything with these two boys. I would be okay with any time frame for it as well either during the series or post-season-one's finale. | letter |
| Petra | Libro de los ejemplos del conde Lucanor y de Patronio | Tales of Count Lucanor - Don Juan Manuel | Lucanor Patronio | I have shipped el Conde Lucanor and Patronio since I was forced to read a modern Spanish translation of some of the fables well over a decade ago. I would love to see the story where poor old Lucanor asks Patronio to explain to him about the funny feelings boys get in their tummies sometimes around other boys, and Patronio can reassure him. Possibly with a hands-on demonstration. And then it all gets summed up with a tidy rhyme at the end, and they live happily ever after. On the other hand, I haven't managed to write that story for a decade and a piece, and I know how scary it is to get "This story is the story of my heart and you MUST WRITE IT" as a Yuletide request. So! I am open to any number of other things as well, really and for true. If my first suggestion resonates with you, I have other thoughts about it -- http://petra.dreamwidth.org/656796.html -- and more power to you whichever language you write it in (although I was entirely kidding about the Steve/Tony aspect, and honestly they're more suited to any number of other allegories or great love stories--Arthur/Merlin comes to mind). But Don't Panic. If you're thinking, "Whoa, I want to write a nice coffeeshop AU where Patronio is a barista who gives really good advice to Lucanor every time he comes in, and Lucanor helps him name the new drink blends," that would be cool, too. Or Conde Lucanor in SPAAAAACE. Count Vorlucanor, oh baby. Captain Lucanor and his trusted Science Officer Patronio? Go to it. Or if you want to write Lucanor trying to work his smartphone and getting a nice allegorical instruction, why not? Or if you simply want Patronio to tell a story that is clearly ripped from the headlines or the pages of some other book, TV script, or movie, go for it. I have a vast and well-documented list of fandoms I love, and as long as I know the story you have him relate, I'll love the one you write from the beginning to the moraleja. What would our favorite count make of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Farscape? Sesame Street's Count? Sarah Palin? Doctor Who? Who knows, but I'm sure you'll have fun figuring it out. All the tropes lie at your feet, and I look forward to the fruits of your labor. (If you're reading this because you got assigned to me in one of my other fandoms and now you're thinking better of having offered that one, this is a series of 14th century Spanish fables available in English here -- http://www.elfinspell.com/CountLucanorContents.html -- and individually they are all quite short.) |

| Petra | Michael: Tuesdays & Thursdays | Claire Webb, Sammy Dunbar | I adore Michael and David's co-dependent relationship. If you are m/m slashily inclined, I would be cheerfully appalled, much as I feel about canon, if they went from being in a too-close-for-professional-detachment semi-friendship to a too-close-for-any-detachment sexual relationship, and surely Michael has plenty of issues to work out in that regard that require some desensitization therapy. Or there's Carlos and his fascinating construction of masculinity that could use a little homoerotic confusion. If you are f/f slashily inclined, Sammy and Jasmina already have immense boundary issues--it seems to be going around--and I could see that as well. Het-wise, Sammy breaks my heart in ways I don't really want as a present, but more of Claire would be lovely. Absolutely any of the above groups of people as gen interactions without the sexual component would also be fun, whether it's something like David dragging Michael into a funeral home to attend a service for someone he's never met as an exposure, or Claire looking for someone to talk to about her new beau and running into Sammy. (If you're reading this because you got assigned to me in one of my other fandoms and now you're thinking better of having offered that one, this is a 12 episode Canadian dramedy about an anxious man and his anxious psychiatrist with sparkling dialogue and "You're no Oliver Sacks" jokes.) |
letter |
| Petra | Scott & Bailey | Rachel Bailey, Gill Murray, Janet Scott | I would love some gen or f/f (or f/f/f) in this fandom. If you want to write gen about Rachel and Janet fighting crime in classic procedural fashion along with anyone else in the station, that would be beautiful. Or, Rachel owes Janet some support when things in her life get more complicated and I would like that, too, as a sort of h/c-leaning friendship. I have a huge fondness for Gill, and if she's instrumental in the crime-fighting so much the better. If you'd rather write f/f romance, I would love some Gill/Rachel, as mentor-and-argumentative-student as they ever are. Rachel's power and mommy issues may or may not map onto Gill in a way that works for you, so if you want to write them more as respectful colleagues with a gen tone, go for it. I don't really get a strong f/f vibe from Rachel and Janet, but if you do, I'm sure you'll sell me on it. Also, Gill and Julie's relationship would be great. On the other hand, Gill and Janet's relationship is fascinating, and if you wanted to dig into it, that would be lovely. As for het options, I'm afraid none of the men presented in canon particularly work for me with any of their respective women, and if they all traded around things would just get worse. (If you're reading this because you got assigned to me in one of my other fandoms and now you're thinking better of having offered that one, this is a 3 short season British police procedural that's heavy on truly excellent women and their interactions, light on gore.) |

| Petra | Promethean Age Series - Elizabeth Bear | Christopher Marlowe (Promethean Age), William Shakespeare (Promethean Age) | Characters I specifically requested notwithstanding, the stories I most wish I had world enough and time to write in this fandom are Kit/Will/Annie, and if you were moved to try your hand at them, that would be lovely I would also clasp any sort of Kit/Will to my bosom with great force and tell everyone I know precisely how wonderful it was, whether they were having a quiet chat, a quick shag, or another wild adventure. I would also flail my hands joyously for Kit/Lucifer because Lucifer makes me diabolically happy, as he ought. Lucifer in conjunction with all sorts of other people would also be amazing. Morgan/just about anyone would also qualify as truly, deeply lovely. The books set later on don't make me need stories in the same way as the earlier ones, though I could go for a spot of Kit/Matthew. Yes, there's something of a pattern here. As for things I really don't want, I don't care about Elaine and her coterie enough to want to read about them, and Richard Baines is much more frightening than Lucifer any day in ways that I don't care to be frightened. I can take all sorts of things in this fandom from het to slash to gen, but full on nonconsensual sex will not please me in this fandom--or in the others, really. | letter |
| PFL (msmoat) | I Spy (1965) | Alexander Scott, Kelly Robinson | Kelly and Scotty--a wonderful partnership, true "us against the world" (including The Department) stuff. I would love a story focusing on their relationship. Slash makes me happy, but more for the emotional closeness than the sex per se, so warm gen is fine as well. I've wondered how their relationship changed from the antagonism we see in the flashback to their academy days, to the tight unit we see on the show. I also love Mom, so a trip to Scotty's home--or perhaps Mom travels??--would be great fun. I will try to enlarge on these ideas in my Dear Yuletide Writer post! Things I don't care for: present tense, BDSM, mpreg, non-con between partners, major character death. |
letter |
| PFL (msmoat) | Strike Back | Damien Scott, Michael Stonebridge | This is a new fandom for me! I would love any examination of Scott and Stonebridge's relationship. I have only had access to seasons 1 and 2 (US), so please no spoilers for season 3. Slash makes me happy, but more for the emotional closeness than the sex per se, so warm gen is fine as well. The important part is their bond. I am intrigued with Scott's respect for Stonebridge's wife, and how they might have dealt with her death. I'd love to see more about how their relationship developed into complete trust--it didn't start out that way, although mutual respect grew quickly. I will try to enlarge on these ideas in my Dear Yuletide Writer post! Things I don't care for: present tense, BDSM, mpreg, non-con between partners, major character death (even on this show...) |
letter |
| PFL (msmoat) | Lewis (TV) | James Hathaway, Robert Lewis (Lewis) | Oh, gosh, how I love the relationship between Lewis and Hathaway! Any examination of that, and what it means, would be brilliant. I am happy with slash, but I am probably not as prone to slash in "Lewis" as I am in my other fandoms. Still, under the right circumstances, I could certainly see it. I'm intrigued by the different types of loneliness that Lewis and Hathaway demonstrate and experience, and what really brings them together. Given what happened in the last aired episode, I would be interested to see them get back together somehow. But I would also be happy with anything set during the series. I will try to enlarge on these ideas in my Dear Yuletide Writer post! Things I don't care for: present tense, BDSM, mpreg, non-con between partners, major character death. |
letter |
| PFL (msmoat) | The Equalizer | Robert McCall, Mickey Kostmayer | There was a time when I was completely obsessed with this show--long before I discovered fandom. In particular, I love the relationship between Micky and Robert. Yet, I have read very little fan fiction that explores that relationship. I'd be happy with anything that did, but something post "Splinters" would be fantastic (or post any Mickey-centric episode). Something exploring Robert's conflicting loyalties could be interesting. (I like how he left the Company without Mickey, yet after "China Rain" Mickey slowly becomes more involved with Robert's new calling. How does Control feel about that? Slash always makes me happy, although more so for the emotional closeness than sex per se, so warm gen is fine for me. It's mutual dependence and loyalty between them that thrills me. I will try to enlarge on these ideas in my Dear Yuletide Writer post. Things I don't care for: present tense, BDSM, mpreg, non-con between partners, major character death. |
letter |
| Phantom | Major Crimes (TV) | Sharon Raydor, Rusty Beck | (More details on all my prompts can be found in my letter.) Their relationship makes the whole show for me, and I would love to see them continue growing into Family. |
letter |
| Phantom | Kushiel's Legacy - Jacqueline Carey | Moirin (Kushiel's Legacy), Jehanne de la Courcel no Cereus | They were so lovely together. What might've happened if Jehanne had lived? If Moirin had never left Terre D'Ange? | |
| Phantom | Chaos Walking - Patrick Ness | Todd Hewitt, Viola Eade | ome ideas: What becomes of them after Todd wakes up? Or they trade stories about their lives. | |
| Phantom | Cold Case | Rose Collins, Billie Ducette | PLEASE FIX IT. I don't care how you do it, I just want them to have a chance at happiness. | |
| Phantom | Provost's Dog - Tamora Pierce | Clara Goodwin | Clary is my faaavorite and I adore her relationships with her husband and her partners. Give me a story of her adventures with Mattes and Beka, or tell me how she met Tom, and I'll be happy. | |
| Phantom | Old Kingdom - Garth Nix | Sabriel (Old Kingdom) | I love this book. I'll love anything you write me about this book, be it Sabriel and Touchstone, Sabriel and Mogget, Sabriel learning about her parents, Sabriel with her children or getting to know her sister, or anything else you can think of. | |
| Philipa_Moss | Mad Men | Pete Campbell, Bob Benson, Peggy Olson, Joan Holloway | The year is 1972. The firm is Campbell Olson Holloway Benson (COHB). (Or, if that's not inspiring you, anything with any combination of those characters would absolutely rock my socks.) | letter |
| Philipa_Moss | As Good as It Gets (1997) | Melvin Udall, Simon Bishop, Carol Connelly, Frank Sachs | Melvin and Simon as roommates after the show ends. How's *that* gonna work? | letter |
| Philipa_Moss | The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon | burbia killed me. I want some huge set piece a la lightening atop the Empire State Building or canoodling in the remains of the World's Fair or preparing to fly across Antarctica. Bonus points for the occasional Chabon-esque footnote. Also, I love Sammy and Joe equally. No, really. | letter | |
| Philipa_Moss | Arrested Development | George Oscar 'Gob' Bluth, Tony Wonder, Michael Bluth, Steve Holt | Anything with "fuck” or other choice words bleeped out, with doves, with Ron Howard narration, with Tobias malapropisms, with Michael's deadpan, with Maeby, with GOB being strangely endearing, with Steve Holt (but no Steve Holt disappointment, which is probably the only thing I can't handle). For reference, although I love, love, love the ensemble unreservedly, watching the fourth season I decided that Michael, GOB, Lucille, Maeby, George Michael, and Buster could sustain their own episodes, whereas Lindsey, Tobias, and George Sr./Oscar couldn't. | letter |
| Philomytha | The Guns of Navarone Series - Alistair MacLean | Andrea Stavros, Keith Mallory | I've requested the books, but if you want to go off the film canon or some mixture of the two, feel free to do that. I love the stories for epic adventures and heroics, and the bonds of loyalty and friendship between the characters - and the things that test those bonds. And most of all I love how Andrea and Keith work together and how competent and effective a team they are. If you want to write slash, feel free, but I'm more than happy with gen too. | letter |
| Philomytha | Das Leben der Anderen | The Lives of Others (2006) | This is pretty much my favourite film in the whole world, and anything you write that has some flavour of the film will be amazing. Tell me more about the characters' pasts, about their futures, their thoughts, their lives. Tell me about Wiesler joining the Stasi or some earlier steps on his journey from before he is assigned to Dreyman, about his reaction to the fall of the Berlin Wall and adapting to life afterwards. Tell me about Dreyman as a writer, as a propagandist and as a friend, about how he fell in love with Christa, about coping with her death. Tell me more about Christa, about her politics and her journey and her life (and if you fancy an AU where she survives being hit by the truck and everything falls out differently, that would be very cool indeed). | letter | |
| Philomytha | Scott & Bailey | Gill Murray, Janet Scott, Rachel Bailey | I love these characters and their relationships so much. I love Rachel and Janet bantering with each other and how well their strengths and weaknesses fit together. I love Janet and Gill's long-standing friendship and how it fits together with Gill being Janet's boss, and I love the glimpses of Janet as Gill's sergeant. I love Gill mentoring and teaching and being frustrated by Rachel and Rachel fearing and respecting and caring about Gill. I'm not that interested in any of the men in any of their lives, so you could quite easily leave them all out and I wouldn't notice - and if you wanted to write femslash with any combination of these three that would be cool too. If you wanted to continue that final scene of the last episode where they're all sitting on a bed drinking together, that would be great. I'd also love casefic, or the three of them in the pub, or anything that showcases their relationships. | letter |
| Philomytha | Call the Midwife | I'm fascinated by midwifery and love the period-appropriate medicine and the timeless nature of the problems they're facing, and if you wanted to write some kind of midwifery casefic I would love that very much (though I would appreciate it if you didn't kill off any mothers or babies). If that doesn't appeal, I also love the characters and their relationships with each other. I love Jenny being a bit of a fish out of water in the East End, and how Chummy is less so despite coming from such a different background. I love quiet Cynthia trying to get it right, and Trixie being flashy and competent (and I could be persuaded to ship those two, if you were tempted in that direction). I also love the women of the East End and how they relate to the midwives, and how the midwives interact with the nuns, and if you wanted to explore any religious angles that would be fascinating too. | letter | |
| philote_auctor | Terra Nova (TV) | Josh Shannon | Tell me more of Josh's life in Terra Nova. I love family interaction, particularly the father-son relationship between Josh and Jim or big brother stuff with Maddy and Zoe. No incest or slash, please. See my letter for more detail. :) http://philote-auctor.dreamwidth.org/545.html | letter |
| philote_auctor | Distress Call 911 series - D.L. Carey | Ben Varga, Gordon McKittrick | Anything focused on Ben and Gordon and their friendship will make my Yuletide! Hurt/comfort would be lovely; gen preferred. Please see my letter for more detail. :) http://philote-auctor.dreamwidth.org/545.html | letter |
| philote_auctor | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Grant Ward, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Melinda May | Give me team dynamics! I want to see them getting to know each other, learning to work together, taking care of each other. Gen preferred. Please see my letter for more detail. :) http://philote-auctor.dreamwidth.org/545.html | letter |
| philote_auctor | Falling Skies | Jimmy Boland, Dan Weaver | I'd love an exploration of the father-son-like bond between Jimmy and Weaver. No slash, please. See my letter for more detail. :) http://philote-auctor.dreamwidth.org/545.html | letter |
| philote_auctor | So Weird | Fiona "Fi" Phillips, Jack Phillips, Carey Bell | I'd love an episode-like story with a supernatural element of the week and Fiona running headfirst into trouble with the guys along for the ride and trying to bail her out. But mostly I just love these characters, and I'd love to read their interactions. Gen preferred, no incest please. See my letter for more detail. :) http://philote-auctor.dreamwidth.org/545.html | letter |
| Phoebe_Artemis | Codex Alera - Jim Butcher | I love the character interactions in this story. I also love all the characters. Missing moments would be great—stuff like what happened when Max found out about Tavi's heritage, or when Tavi was reunited with his uncle (and Kitai with her father and aunt). I also like seeing things from after the end of the series, everything from how the rebuilding and restructure of Alera and its interactions with other nations is working out to when (and if!) Desiderius gets furycraft. Worldbuilding is good, but so are character studies, romance, fluff, and really anything else. I ship the canon pairings, but if you want to experiment a bit I'm game. | ||
| Phoebe_Artemis | The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher | Thomas Raith | My one real request here is no Harry/Marcone. Aside from that, I've got things I like but you should feel free to experiment. Particular favorites are Harry's relationships with his family, both by blood and found, particularly Thomas, Ebenezar, and Molly, worldbuilding in general and especially outside of the faerie courts and White Council, and exploration of minor or side characters. Case fic is good, but so are character studies or explanation of backstory. Really anything goes. I really and truly appreciate gen in this fandom, but if you want to add romance that's cool too. | |
| Phoebe_Artemis | The Sting (1973) | Henry Gondorff, Johnny Hooker | I ship Henry/Johnny, but I also like gen, so whatever you're comfortable with on that score is good. I really like the relationship between them and their interplay, though, so I would love a fic with both. I especially would love to read about what happens after, where they go and what they do, and how long they avoid the law for. | |
| Phoebe_Artemis | Mairelon the Magician - Patricia Wrede | Richard Merrill, Kim Merrill | I ship Richard/Kim something fierce, so I would love a story featuring the two of them, even if the romance is understated or implied, or even still UST. Adventures as proto-secret agents are good. I also love stories about Kim adjusting to--or at least dealing with--life in Town. And worldbuilding-ish details about how magic works, and especially cultural differences involving magic, are awesome. | |
| PhoenixFalls | End of Watch (2012) | My letter goes into quite a bit of detail about my general tastes and my thoughts on each fandom, but if you just want a brief sketch of what I like/dislike: please no infidelity, rape/non-con, non-canonical character death, AUs, or crossovers/fusions; I would welcome either a fic dealing with the aftermath of the movie or a fix-it fic for it; I ship the four nominated characters in all directions -- canon relationships, Brian/Mike, Gabby/Janet, Brian/Mike/Gabby/Janet, Brian/Janet becoming Brian/Janet/Gabby post-movie -- and welcome any sort of ship-fic from romance to curtain fic to PWP; I would also love a completely gen action plot or casefic. If none of that appeals, you could also write about some non-nominated characters: Davis/Orozco femslash or Sook character study would be love. The most important thing to me is that you portray the depth of love (platonic or romantic) these characters have for each other, the way they've built a community together. | letter | |
| PhoenixFalls | Kushiel's Legacy - Jacqueline Carey | Thelesis de Mornay | My letter goes into quite a bit of detail about my general tastes and my thoughts on each fandom, but if you just want a brief sketch of what I like/dislike: please no infidelity, rape/non-con, non-canonical character death, AUs, or crossovers/fusions; I would love to receive any sort of Thelesis-focused fic -- what it was like to grow up plain in a beauty-worshipping society, the story of her exile, her POV on the Bitterest Winter, a sweet romance or PWP with any in-universe character(s) or OC(s) you like, possibly even what her life would be like if she were asexual and/or aromantic in a society whose only religious tenet is "love as thou wilt" with a strong focus on physical acts of love. If none of that appeals, I would also welcome Kaneka-focused fic, exploring her relationship with her brother and/or her grandmother, or her reclaiming of her body after Darsanga either through her tryst with Wali or sometime in the future; I would also love to read either back story or future fic about Snow Tiger or Amrita, or really any minor character from the book (besides Favrielle or the Shahrizai). | letter |
| PhoenixFalls | Necromancer Chronicles - Amanda Downum | Isyllt Iskaldur, Khelséa Shar | My letter goes into quite a bit of detail about my general tastes and my thoughts on each fandom, but if you just want a brief sketch of what I like/dislike: please no infidelity, rape/non-con, non-canonical character death, AUs, or crossovers/fusions; I would really love any sort of ship fic for Isyllt/Khelsea -- PWP, first time, romance, pining with or without a happy ending, established relationship fluff, friends-with-benefits -- or a gen casefic or first meetings fic for them. | letter |
| PhoenixFalls | Nobody's Son - Sean Stewart | My letter goes into quite a bit of detail about my general tastes and my thoughts on each fandom, but if you just want a brief sketch of what I like/dislike: please no infidelity, rape/non-con, non-canonical character death, AUs, or crossovers/fusions; I would love a fic that was either really relationship-focused or world-building focused. For world-building, anything about life now that magic has returned, with the nominated characters or OCs; for relationships, more on the canon relationships (Gail/Mark established fic, Lissa/Valerian romance or first time or deciding they're better as friends), Mark & Valerian friendship or slash, Lissa & Gail friendship or slash, Mark & Lissa deepening thorny friendship, Mark/Gail/Lissa/Valerian anything from happy PWP to established polyamorous curtainfic. If none of that appeals, I would also love the story of Mark's father -- what happened to him, and does he ever reappear? | letter | |
| PhoenixFalls | Undercovers | Samantha Bloom | My letter goes into quite a bit of detail about my general tastes and my thoughts on each fandom, but if you just want a brief sketch of what I like/dislike: please no infidelity, rape/non-con, non-canonical character death, AUs, or crossovers/fusions; I would love any sort of fic focusing on Samantha's relationship with Steven or Samantha's relationship with Lizzie. For Samantha/Steven I'd welcome happy PWP, catering shenanigans, spy shenanigans, pure and simple fluff; for Samantha & Lizzie I'd welcome an exploration either of how they've dealt with Lizzie's alcoholism or anything surrounding Samantha keeping so much of her life a secret. I would not say not to Samantha/Lizzie pre-canon! Feel free to use Carlton Shaw liberally in the background, but I don't like Bill Hoyt much. | letter |
| PhoenixFalls | The Wolverine (2013) | Yashida Mariko (The Wolverine), Yukio (The Wolverine) | My letter goes into quite a bit of detail about my general tastes and my thoughts on each fandom, but if you just want a brief sketch of what I like/dislike: please no infidelity, rape/non-con, non-canonical character death, AUs, or crossovers/fusions; I would love anything from Mariko & Yukio's childhood together -- gen friendship, pre-slash, adolescent experimentation, full-out femslash where they're being torn apart by family/societal expectations (with or without happy ending) -- or a future fic about them coming back together after being apart. I would also welcome seeing their relationships with Shingen explored, but ask that any other characters play a minimal role in the fic. | letter |
| PhynixCaskey | Disney Princesses | o this one here is just what I want to see. The wonderful world of Disney is a busy place as we all know, but what happens when the girls have there sleep over at the end of a long year of work at the parks, photo shoots, publicity events, and interviews? It is time for the princess to sit back and take a day to them selves, no princes allowed! Girls ONLY! Use as many or as few of the princess' as you want! alternate: Zombie hunting princess! My fave princess: Mulan, Megara, Merida, Jasmine, & Pocahontas |
letter | |
| PhynixCaskey | My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle | Okay, this is one that I would love to see the ponies in the real world again, how would the change to the ponies effect them. I really have no other suggestion for this, it is one of my favorite shows as a kid, I am a true 80's child. |
letter | |
| PhynixCaskey | The Last Unicorn - Peter S. Beagle | I would love to see what happens when these characters are in the real world. Maybe the re birth of them see a unicorn carousel and remember days of long past. Other suggestions I would like to see: -What if Haggard won? What would have happened to the Unicorns! More so Amalthea. -Where did Molly and Schmendrick go? -Did Lir and Amalthea ever have sex while in the castle? Is he truly a prince, or maybe he was as ugly a person as his adoptive father. -who would play what if they were a band? what kind of music would the play. -ZOMBIES ARE COOL! I have very little that I wont love when it comes to this realm, just NO CLOWNS! Your also welcome to use ANY character! I love them all! |
letter | |
| PhynixCaskey | Hell's Kitchen (TV) RPF | Okay first off, JP = LOVE! That poor man is not at all appreciated as much as he should be. Bonus points for creating a strong female character with an angst back story, to fall in love with JP! (extra points if she is Honey coloured eyed, and Brunette) I love the idea of JP falling in love with a contestant. Or maybe in love with a server. I want to see what happens when the cameras turn off? Does life stay quiet in the dorms so they do lessons, what goes on? I am good with any characters being used, your welcome to cross over anime, and movies to this so you can get teams together for the contestants. Please use any of the characters from the fandoms I requested, or your welcome to use characters from other fandoms I like. (I have a lot, I will list them in my Letter) |

| PhynixCaskey | Forgotten Realms Novels - R. A. Salvatore | Drizzt is amazing, him and Catti are my OTP! As for what I want to see, honestly I don't know! I know I would love to see just a random moment in time where it is just them. I am just not sure. Maybe a bunch of bards were spotted in icewind dale and they went to town on date? Maybe she ended up pregnant and they are dealing with the results of that. Oh so many possibilities, I know I want to see them together happy not worried about the fact she will die before he will. I have read all of the current novels, but would rather see something not apart of the time lines of the last 6 or so books. I loved there time out to sea. Maybe the truth is drizzt was SICK from the motion, and she spent the time caring for him. So many possibilities. Please I have one request do not have her younger than the age of consent from there realms. |
letter | |
| PhynixCaskey | My Little Pony (Cartoon 1984) | gain grew up with this. I am not sure what I am looking for but I know I would love to see almost anything from this. I am a huge AU fan so again this would be fun. What if the ponies are carousel horses in todays world that come alive at night. I would love to see that convo.... So much you can do with this all. HAVE FUN! |

| pickapart | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | Lesley May | General notes: - I love delving into characters a lot and exploring what drives them to make the decisions they've made either in canon or in an AU or crossover. And yes, while that does get occasionally introspective, I prefer reading things that has a driving plot underneath it so there's an even further opportunity for character development. - I like things that make me cry (AHAHA this isn't going to end well) or make me feel mushy. I'm not really big on romance as the main focus of the plot. If it naturally happens, then it's more of a bonus rather than the be all and end all of the story. - I love reading about people being competent and badass in their jobs. Just. Daaamn. Couple this with some sort of bad cop/good cop or rookie/mentor dynamic and I AM SOLD. - Things that generally do not fly with me are non-con, mpreg, too much focus on romance (undercurrents are better yo), infidelity, and domestic violence. For this request: - Post-Broken Homes speculative fan fiction about why Lesley did the thing she did. - Was it just because of her face predicament? Is she going undercover? Did she tell Nightingale? I have to admit that I'm a big fan of the undercover scenario because I adore her as a character and would love to get her point of view really fleshed out. - My absolute dislike would be a Peter POV where he again discounts all her choices as due to what he perceived as her vanity. :| That smarted, man. THANK YOU LET ME GIVE YOU ALL MY LOVE. |

| pickapart | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Jennifer Mills | General notes: - I love delving into characters a lot and exploring what drives them to make the decisions they've made either in canon or in an AU or crossover. And yes, while that does get occasionally introspective, I prefer reading things that has a driving plot underneath it so there's an even further opportunity for character development. - I like things that make me cry (AHAHA this isn't going to end well) or make me feel mushy. I'm not really big on romance as the main focus of the plot. If it naturally happens, then it's more of a bonus rather than the be all and end all of the story. - I love reading about people being competent and badass in their jobs. Just. Daaamn. Couple this with some sort of bad cop/good cop or rookie/mentor dynamic and I AM SOLD. - Things that generally do not fly with me are non-con, mpreg, too much focus on romance (undercurrents are better yo), infidelity, and domestic violence. For this request: - From episode 4 (The Lesser Key of Solomon), Abbie offered to team up Jenny after six months, if she wanted. FAST FORWARD SIX MONTHS -- Jenny's moving in with Abbie. - Ichabod feels awkward and wonders if he should pull away from Abbie now that Jenny is there. - Some sort of expansion on how the dynamic of Abbie and Jenny will be. - Abbie asking Ichabod to stay and cancel the apocalypse with them. - FEELINGS. THANK YOU LET ME GIVE YOU ALL MY LOVE. |

| pickapart | The Hollow Crown (2012) | Prince Hal (The Hollow Crown (2012)) | General notes: - I love delving into characters a lot and exploring what drives them to make the decisions they've made either in canon or in an AU or crossover.

Couple this with some sort of bad cop/good cop or rookie/mentor dynamic and I AM SOLD. - Things that generally do not fly with me are non-con, mpreg, too much focus on romance (undercurrents are better yo), infidelity, and domestic violence. For this request: - Exploration about the relationship between Henry IV and Hal. Maybe something during his younger years and what set him off in that freewheeling phase he had before he himself became king. - Maybe some sort of expansion about how Falstaff became a surrogate father (a bad one, at that) as well as some sort of unwitting jester. - This could tie in to the courtship with Catherine of Valois somehow? It could be a deconstruction of his development of his personality and how it affected his relationship with women. THANK YOU LET ME GIVE YOU ALL MY LOVE. |

| pie_is_good | Eleanor & Park - Rainbow Rowell | Eleanor Douglas, Park Sheridan | I really want to see what happens to these two. The book leaves off with Eleanor leaving; where are they in 5 years? Did they lose touch? Do they end up going to college together? Any kind of future in this world would be the best. | letter |
| pie_is_good | Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate | Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill | Anything about Ax would be great. Maybe post-books Ax, or something about homesickness/etc during the books somewhere, maybe something with Tobias? I don't know, I just love these characters and world a ton, but Ax is my fav. :) | letter |
| pie_is_good | Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) | Rudolph (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) | I love whoever put this in the suggestions, never would have thought of it! I would LOVE to see Clarice/Rudolph, maybe of them raising their own little reindeer. They would be so cute!! | letter |
| pie_is_good | Rocky Horror Picture Show | I don't even care. I just want to see fic; it'll be crazy. I cosplay Magenta sometimes, but beyond that, I don't have much attachment to particular characters or anything. Maybe what happens to Brad & Janet? I can't imagine they can be very normal after that... | letter | |

| pinstripedoc | Red vs. Blue | Leonard L. Church | Artificial Intelligence Program Alpha, Lavernius Tucker, Michael J. Caboose | Gen fic with the Blue Team! | letter |
| pinstripedoc | Being Human (UK) | o, I would love a Christmas-time fic, but I'm not picky about which household is celebrating! Nothing really shippy (but if you pick the first group, I definitely won't say no to some cute George/Nina fluff (with added Hanukkah fun). | letter | |
| pinstripedoc | Grimm (TV) | I'll be honest, I can't decide with this one. I wouldn't mind some cute Nick/Juliette fluff (set during either season 1 or 2 at any time), some fun times with Nick and Monroe, Monroe/Rosalee fluff, or some kickass action with Nick, Hank, Monroe and Rosalee. | letter | |
| pinstripedoc | Borderlands | Three completely different options here: 1) Action fic! Give me a battle with the BL2 Vault Hunters (I do prefer Axton, Maya and Gaige of the group) and whatever group of poor bastards are stirring up trouble for whatever reason. 2) Handsome Jack stuff, be it a day in the office, early days in Hyperion, or whatever you want to play with for him. Bonus points for including Claptrap in some way in any fic! 3) Mordecai/Lilith stuff, especially if it's post-BL2. Doesn't matter if it's fluff, them drinking each other under the table, or smut (or anything in between). | letter | |

| Piper | Batman Beyond | Maxine Gibson (Batman Beyond), Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond), Dana Tan (Batman Beyond) | o, I'm pretty big on well written women of color. Max is one of my favorite characters in the Batverse, and I love Max/Terry gen or het! I also love (and this is by no means a requirement) Max/Bruce friendship/working together. But I also enjoy kooky timetravel adventures that might result in Max ending up meeting a younger Bruce (gen or het there is cool!) I don't mind Terry/Dana, but generally prefer it not to be the focus. Dana/Max friendship is <3 though!! |
|
| Piper | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Jennifer Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | Abbie/Ichabod!!!! I'll take Gen or Het, but would prefer the latter. I'd also go for some deep exploration of Abbie and Jennifers relationship as sisters. Oh God, and if they haven't done it by the time you start writing I would LOVE an Ichabod 21st century makeover fic. That coat he's running around in cannot smell great. |
|
| Piper | Arrow (TV 2012) | Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV), Thea Queen (Arrow TV), Roy Harper (Arrow TV), Oliver Queen (Arrow TV) | o I find the Lances to be particularly boring, so you don't even have to worry about them at all if you want. I love Felicity though, and would be happy with anything featuring her. Felicity and Thea don't ever get to interact much, so if you could think of a reason for them to speak I'd be cool with that. If this helps you at all: I see Felicity as the Oracle of the Arrow universe! And if the show hasn't gotten too deep into Roy's transformation into a hero yet, I'd be interested in seeing you go there as well. |
|
| Piper | Birds of Prey (Comic) | Barbara Gordon (Birds of Prey), Dinah Laurel Lance (Birds of Prey), Pamela Isley (Birds of Prey), Jim Gordon (Birds of Prey) | All the cookies to the person who can write me a fic where my two favorite redheads (Babs and Pam) interact for any reason whatsoever. (Note: I loathe the New 52 and would prefer to just pretend that it doesn't exist.) |
|
| Piscaria | Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin | Byron Pike, Jeff Schafer, Claudia Kishi, Ashley Wyeth | My OTPs for this fandom are Claudia/Ashley and Jeff/Byron, but I'd be equally happy with friendship fic or with gen focused on any of these characters. If you choose to go the shippy route with Byron and Jeff, please age them up to high school! Bonus points for including crazy outfit descriptions, emergency BSC meetings, Pike triplet shenanigans, teen drama, or gratuitous late eighties/early nineties references. |
letter |
| Piscaria | Kafka on the Shore - Haruki Murakami | Oshima (Kafka on the Shore), Tamura Kafka | The relationship between Kafka and Oshima was one of my favorite things in the novel, so I would love any story exploring that. A future fic where Kafka returns to the library after high school would be great, although that's certainly not the only route you could take with this story. Mostly I just want to see the two of them interacting again. Kafka/Oshima slash would make my day, but I would be equally happy with friendship fic. | letter |
| Piscaria | Star Trek: Dwellers in the Crucible - Margaret Wander Bonnano | T'shael (Dwellers in the Crucible), Cleante alFaisal | I love the relationship between Cleante and T'Shael, and any story exploring that, whether femmeslash or friendship fic, would make my day! It would be great to see T'Shael exploring Earth with Cleante. The Vulcan culture is pretty much my favorite thing about Star Trek, though, so I'm also up for more of them hanging out in T'LingShar. | letter |
| Piscaria | White Christmas (1954) | Bob Wallace, Phil Davis | The Wallace/Davis slash potential seems so obvious to me! I'd love to see why Phil was so desperate to get Bob safely married. I would also be happy with friendship fic if the Wallace/Davis slash doesn't call to you. A crazy misadventure set after the movie would be great. | letter |
| Pitseleh | Dragon Age - Various Authors | Duncan (Dragon Age: The Calling), Fiona (Dragon Age) | I'd really like some more in-depth scenes with how Fiona's grown as a person over the years. We only get brief glimpses of her and I'm fascinated by her. I'd also (or alternatively) like to see how Duncan went from the snarky, silly kid he was in The Calling to the serious, duty-bound Warden we encounter in Origins. | letter |
| Pitseleh | Doctrine of Labyrinths - Sarah Monette | Gideon Thraxios | I'd really love some backstory for Gideon. We get so little of his origins in canon! Go wild and tell me what you think his background is. | letter |
| Pitseleh | Sandinista! (album) | ndinista! is a big album with lots of songs. I'd love it if you could take the various characters from various songs and have them interact in a larger framework. | letter | |
| Pitseleh | The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin | Ong Tot Oppong (Left Hand of Darkness) | I'd really like a story about the explorers who surveyed Gethen before Genly landed there. I listed Ong Tot Oppong because they're one of the people specifically named as being an early explorer on Gethen, but you can make up whatever character fits the prompt. I'd just like a character discovering Gethen and its people, and all that entails. | letter |

| plantagenet | Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare | Lysander (Midsummer Night's Dream), Demetrius (Midsummer Night's Dream) | I'm really into prequel-style things at the moment, what social situations have commanded the relationships in the play. I'm a big fan of the young lovers as a group (*ahem* Helena; alas she is not nominated) but really any focus on any of the lovers is gonna go great by me :) | letter |

| plinys | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz | omething with Fitzsimmons would be the best thing ever. Ideally something that takes place prior to when the TV show happens, but honestly I would be down for anything with these two dorks! | letter |
| plinys | Elementary (TV) | Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary) | ||
| plinys | Social Network (2010) RPF | Jesse Eisenberg (Social Network RPF), Andrew Garfield (Social Network RPF) | A hanukkah fic would probably be the greatest thing ever, just saying. | letter |
| plinys | Vikings (TV) | Athelstan (Vikings), Bjorn (Vikings), Gyda (Vikings) | Also Thyri, but apparently I can't tag her ): AUs are loved for this. With either Athelstan/older!Bjorn or Gyda/Thyri. | letter |
| plusminus | Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin | Claudia Kishi | Future fic, please! Five, ten, twenty, thirty years down the road, whatever, it's all good. Many more details in my Dear Yuletide Writer letter. | letter |
| plusminus | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | Would prefer plotty get-together fic, but would also love gen. Many more details in my Dear Yuletide Writer letter. | letter |
| plusminus | Free! | Matsuoka Rin, Ryuugazaki Rei | They sort of have a fighty-rivalry thing, don't they? I love that Rin has all the memories, but Rei's the one on the team now, and how they're both jealous of that. I would love something exploring that! Many more details in my Dear Yuletide Writer letter. | letter |
| plusminus | Encyclopedia Brown - Donald J. Sobol | Encyclopedia Brown, Sally Kimball | I want grown-up, where are they now? fic. There's something about those kid series that bring out my need for an epilogue. Many more details in my Dear Yuletide Writer letter. | letter |
| plusminus | Revenge (TV) | Emily Thorne Nolan Ross | I'd love anything with these two, though I'd prefer a canon setting after Emily's done with her revenge against the Graysons. Pairing and gen both fine. Many more details in my Dear Yuletide Writer letter. | letter |
| pocketbookangel | Raffles - E. W. Hornung | A. J. Raffles, Bunny Manders | Raffles and Bunny friendship, Raffles and Bunny slash, is there really a difference between the two? Raffles/Bunny is my forever OTP. | letter |
| pocketbookangel | Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles - Kim Newman | Irene Adler (Hound of the D'Ubervilles) | omething about this version of Irene Adler having adventures would be great. I love the idea of her scamming her way across Europe, then returning to New York and being a respectable member of society. An Irene with zero Sherlock Holmes angst. | letter |
| pocketbookangel | Shiki (Anime & Manga) | Mutou Tooru, Yuuki Natsuno | Two things I love about Shiki: 1. Crazy outfits. 2. The characters. I love how Tatsumi has zero angst about being a vampire. I love how Tohru goes from super genki to whiny crybaby and how it suggests that was his real self all along. I love the relationship between Tohru and Natsuno and the one between Tohru and Ritsuko. Why does Muroi join the vampires instead of the humans? Well, Sunako told him she loved his writing. Did Ozaki ever tell him that? He probably never even read Muroi's books. Two things I don't love about Shiki - the extreme violence, and depending on how you read the (anime) ending, the possibility of an underage pairing. AUs where Tohru and Natsuno run away together or Megumi makes it to the big city, Tatsumi's past, Tatsumi and Chizuru shopping together, Muroi giving Ozaki a copy of his book with a message inside but Ozaki never opens it... I love Shiki best when it's balanced between suspense and WTF, but when it comes to fic, any genre is fine. |
letter |
| pocketbookangel | Love and Rockets (Comics) | Penny Century | omething about Penny Century would be great. She can be selfless and selfish at the same time and she is almost always a lot of fun. One of my favourite stories is "Penny Century, You're Fired", a one page story in Locas 1: Maggie the Mechanic. I've really only read the comics in Locas 1-5, but I don't care about spoilers, so it's fine if you use material outside those collections. | letter |
| pocketbookangel | Inspector George Gently | John Bacchus | gt Bacchus is my favourite character even though (because?) he is a mess. He wants to be a tough detective, but he just can't get there. What would I like to read? Case fic, maybe, but that can be such a pain to write. Maybe something about a time Bacchus stepped up to do the right thing and managed not to make a mess of it. Or scenes from the police station Christmas party. I've only seen series 1-4 and haven't read the books, but I don't care about spoilers, so if you want to incorporate stuff from the later series, that is fine. |
letter |
| pocketbookangel | Galileo (TV Japan) | Yukawa Manabu, Utsumi Kaoru | When it comes to the TV series, I love Utsumi more than Kishitani. Yukawa/Utsumi, I ship it. Plotty gen or Yukawa and Utsumi eating semi-romantic fried chicken together on Christmas. |

| polkadot | Sleeping Beauty (1959) | Flora (Sleeping Beauty), Fauna (Sleeping Beauty), Merryweather (Sleeping Beauty) | I love these three. They're awesome. In this fandom I'm mostly interested in their adventures raising Briar Rose. How did three fairies adjust to raising a baby without being able to use their magic? How did they get along? What were their relationships like? I'm kind of looking for something along the lines of "Flora and Merryweather are squabbling again over who should make breakfast, so Fauna takes Briar Rose into a nook to read a book and rock her to sleep. Later Flora will come to squawk indignantly at her about Merryweather's intractableness, and Fauna will know Flora isn't really mad but just wants a sympathetic ear, so she'll say 'Yes, dear,' and carefully pull Flora's head down to kiss her without waking up the sleeping baby.” Either gen or femslash would be wonderful. (If you do femslash I don't mind how you ship them.) Mostly I want them being their awesome selves together! :) And Briar Rose doesn't have to be a baby, she can be a kid who wanders off/asks difficult questions/is being taught by Merryweather to sing songs of dubious artistic merit/etc. |
letter |
| polkadot | Tricksters - Tamora Pierce | Dovasary Balitang, Saraiyu Balitang | I would love to see what Dove and Sarai were thinking and planning and dreaming during the books. Particularly in Trickster's Queen. I love Dove for her intelligence and astuteness and level head, and I love Sarai for her spirit and her determination to find her own happiness. I particularly love them together, but if you can't make that work, focusing primarily on one of them is okay too. What does Dove think of Aly? What do Dove and Sarai discuss when nobody's around to hear them? What are Sarai's feelings as the boat sails away, with Zaimid there to hold her but no guarantee she'll ever see her family and homeland again? What is Sarai's reaction when word reaches her and Zaimid that Dove is Queen? If you want to write shippy fic, that's fine too! I'd prefer the focus to stay on either or both of the sisters, but I like romance, it's great. If you want to ship Dove, though — with Aly or Aly and Nawat, probably? — please have it be set after she comes of age. Sarai I ship with Zaimid, and I'd love to see the missing scenes of their courtship. :) Oh, and please don't ship the sisters together. |
letter |
| polkadot | 19th Century CE RPF | Gladstone (19th Century CE RPF), Benjamin Disraeli (19th Century CE RPF), Mary Anne Disraeli (19th Century CE RPF), Queen Victoria (19th Century CE RPF) | Yes, this is the request where I ask for Dizzystone slash, with Mary Anne and Queen Victoria being awesome and snarky. :D Now which direction this request goes is very much up to you, dear writer. Are you in the mood for slow-build simmering denied-attraction that eventually bursts tight collars and is triumphantly succumbed to at last? Go for it! (With arch comments being provided by Mary Anne and amusement by Queen Victoria.) Are you more inclined to silly zaniness with Dizzy admiring Gladstone's arse and Mary Anne prodding him into making a move and Queen Victoria sighing that she can't see what her Dizzy sees in a dude like that? More power to you! Are you a gen writer who is going not Dizzystone nooooo? Then write something about Mary Anne and Queen Victoria bonding over metaphorical popcorn at the continual battles between Dizzy and Gladstone! [And in case that last option sounds OOC to you, have this anecdote from Wikipedia: "Even Queen Victoria herself was said to be amused when Mary Anne commented, in response to a remark about some lady's pale complexion, 'I wish you could see my Dizzy in his bath!'”] Basically, dear writer, if you have offered to write these four characters, you can write anything you please, and it will make me happy. :) Well, that's not entirely true, I suppose — I know Gladstone canonically whipped himself over his sexual urges, and was creepy to prostitutes in the name of "saving them”, and things like that, and I'd rather darker aspects like that weren't in the fic. But anything fluffy and/or silly and/or faintly ridiculous in the grand tradition of Dizzystone, I will adore it! |
letter |
| polkadot | Necromancer Chronicles - Amanda Downum | Savedra Severos, Ashlin Idaran Alexios | I just finished reading The Bone Palace, and I love it so much. So many wonderful, wonderful characters! I'm completely smitten with Savedra and Ashlin both. If you write me a story about either or both of them, I will adore you. You may already have an idea about what you'd love to write, and if you do, go for it! But if not, some ideas: anything with Savedra and her mother, with all the complicated love of that relationship. Ashlin's life before she was betrothed, or her adjustment to married life. Savedra and Ashlin's first meeting - do they confound everyone around them by not acting like they "should"? Savedra and Nikos's first meeting. Ashlin's POV on basically anything - I burn to know what she was thinking during basically every one of her scenes! How did Ashlin first realise she was falling in love with Savedra? Finally, happy Ashlin/Savedra after Nikos accepts them and they no longer have to feel guilty about being together would be absolutely lovely. (If you ship Ashlin/Savedra/Nikos, I'd enjoy reading that too, as long as the POV character is either of the women.) I only requested Savedra and Ashlin, but if you offered Khelsea and/or Isyllt and want to write them, I'd be cool with that. Khelsea is quite simply awesome. I'd love to see what events looked like from her POV, and I adored the snippets we got about her relationship with her girlfriend. Khelsea-focused fic, with or without worldbuilding of what it means to be a Vigil and work with the kind of people Khelsea has to work with, would be amazing. As for Isyllt, I'd rather not read fic about her and Kirilos or her and Ciaran, but if you're interested in writing Isyllt & Savedra, I love their scenes in canon. (And Isyllt & Khelsea - I don't ship them, being fully convinced of Khelsea/Khelsea's girlfriend, but I love love love their friendship.) |
letter |
| pollitt | Kraken - China Mieville | Dane Parnell, Billy Harrow, Wati (Kraken) | I'm absolutely in love with the relationship Mieville created between Dane and Billy and I would love to see more moments between them--how they went from not knowing nor trusting one another to trusting one another wholly as they faced (together) the possible coming end of everything. I would prefer slash but pre-slash or gen would be great as well. I added Wati because I love him as the lookout and guide on their quest. Even though he doesn't have an animate and consistent corporeal form, I love the big brother presence. |
letter |
| pollitt | Book of Lost Things - John Connolly | Roland (Book of Lost Things), Raphael (Book of Lost Things) | There is literally a whole world of story to tell of Roland and Raphael and what happened before Raphael took off on his quest to save the woman in the tower, before he went missing and Roland took up his own quest to find Raphael's fate. Secret meetings keeping away form Roland's father's watchful eye, sparring practice that offers and opportunity to be together, clandestine kisses and fumblings in dark corners of the castle... it's a love story whose ending we already know. But I want to know how it began. |
letter |
| pollitt | Seven Kingdoms Trilogy - Kristin Cashore | Raffin (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy), Bann (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy) | After what felt like forever promising a dear friend that I'd read this series, I finally did (seeing the author speak probably helped really tip me over the edge) and I am so glad that I did. I love the world the Kristin Cashore has created, and there was a stupid* amount of squee from me when it was revealed in Bitterblue that indeed Raffin and Bann really are boyfriends. I would love a story that focuses on their relationship, how they negotiate the fact that Raffin is the crown prince and, at least at the end of Bitterblue, he'll be expected to find a wife (I do love that Bitterblue offers to him that in Fire's land a man can pick a husband), and their head-over-heelsness for one another as well as how they work together on the Council and in making medicine/concoctions. I am a sap and vastly prefer my couples not to have to marry someone else because of rules and such, so if there's a way that, if you choose to have Raffin ascend to the throne, if he can keep Bann as his one and only, I'd probably roll around in glee. If you feel more comfortable focusing on them as a part of the larger group (Giddon, Po, Katsa, Bitterblue all are great characters as well), that's good with me as well. (*and I don't mean that as a bad thing) |
letter |
| pollitt | Redshirts - John Scalzi | Andrew Dahl, Jimmy Hanson | I almost want to call this my Lorne and Parrish memorial pairing... If I were watching the adventures of the Intrepid, I have a good feeling I'd be shipping Dahl and Hanson (I'm a sucker for the best friend thing. And Andy liking Jimmy because he's Jimmy not because he's the scion of the rich family..., etc.) So maybe Dahl and Hanson would be Danson? Hahl? on the show with their small, but passionate fanbase, because Jimmy and Andy really do have feelings for one another. I'm interested in their pre-Intrepid days, but I'd love to have a story set after the events in Redshirts, how what they discovered (and are still are discovering, oh many worlds...) impact their lives. Andy giving Jimmy more of a story because Jimmy's part of his life, etc. Or just have them make out (or more) for 1000 words. I'd be good with that, too. |
letter |
| pollitt | Sirens (UK) | Ashley Greenwick, Stuart Bayldon | I don't really have a reason for this one other than -- they're kind of one another's person and I'd love them realizing that as they discover how their bits of broken fit together into a whole. | letter |
| pollyrepeat | Breaking Bad | Mike Ehrmantraut, Gustavo Fring | I would happily read anything for these two (either solo or together, having long-suffering adventures in professionalism). Gen is preferred, but follow your heart. | letter |
| pollyrepeat | Justified | Tim Gutterson, Rachel Brooks, Art Mullen | TEAAAM. Ensemble adventures would make me so, so happy. Bonus points for rolling their eyes at Raylan and his tendency to be a terrible coworker. Any sort of backstory would also be appreciated. Again, gen is preferred, but follow your heart. | |
| pollyrepeat | Andromeda | Beka Valentine, Seamus Harper | Prequel fic for these two would send me over the moon with happiness. I see them more as siblings, but (you are probably tired of hearing this) feeeeeel free to follow your heart on this one as well. Salvage shennanigans! Escapes from post-apocalypse Earth! I love world-building for this universe, mostly because I feel the show did not take full advantage of its very cool setting (I loved the pilot, for example). Oh man, remember the data ports? The nanobots? SO COOL. | |
| pollyrepeat | Jurassic Park (Movies) | Ellie Sattler, Billy Brennan, Alan Grant | Alan Grant is kind of my favourite. I love his enthusiasim for dinosaurs, and his mild disdain and grumpiness for nearly everything else. Ellie, in comparison, has so much enthusiasm for so many things and every time she cracks a wry joke I get hearts in my eyes. Her practical clothes! Her love of plants! Her willingness to brave large numbers of terrifying dinosaurs because a) she CAN and b) it's the right thing to do. I will admit that I am very shallow and find Billy very pretty but I also enjoy his weird and beautiful relationship with Alan and all the potentially hilarious dinners out post-movie with Ellie and her family and Alan. BASICALLY:I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS as long as you have them hanging out in some way I will be happy. Please don't just stick Ellie in a supporting role where her job is to give Alan and Billy her blessing/advice. <3 PS:if you would like to mention/include Lex and Tim (OPTIONAL DETAILS ARE OPTIONAL; THE CHARACTERS WEREN'T EVEN NOMINATED; FEEL FREE TO IGNORE THIS AS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE) I would be ecstatic. |

|
| PorcupineGirl | Beauty and the Beast (1991) | Belle (Beauty and the Beast (1991)), Prince Adam (Beauty and the Beast 1991) | I'd love to see the adventures in the great wide somewhere that Belle gets to have after fixing the enchanted castle. | |
| PorcupineGirl | Dirty Dancing (1987) | Frances "Baby" Houseman, Johnny Castle | ||

| PR Zed (przed) | Der Himmel über Berlin | Wings of Desire (1987) | Cassiel (Der Himmel über Berlin), Damiel (Der Himmel über Berlin), Nick Cave (Der Himmel über Berlin) | I love the push and pull between Cassiel and Damiel, the way Damiel is willing to throw himself into mortal life, while Cassiel feels intensely, but can't quite make the leap. Maybe a vignette set after Damiel crosses over, with Cassiel following his friend. Maybe a story set when they're both still angels, possibly during WW II. Slash not necessary, but not unwelcome. And a guest appearance by Nick Cave would be awesome. | letter |
| PR Zed (przed) | Take That | Mark Owen, Jason Orange, Howard Donald, Robbie Williams | I love whumped but strong Mark, strong but vulnerable Howard, razor sharp Jason, and unexpectedly sweet Robbie. My pairings of choice are Mark/Robbie and Howard/Jason, though I'm also fond of Jason/Mark/Howard. I'm awfully fond of hurt/comfort (whumped Markie, or whumped anyone, really), and AUs (steam punk, musketeers, and SF AUs in the Kidz spaceship would all be awesome, or come up with your own crazy setting to put the boys in.) If you want to stick with canon, I probably prefer the post-reunion band, prefer TT4 slightly over TT5, but enjoy seeing the '90s version too. I adore wilderness years fic. In the end, I just want to see the emotional connection between the boys. | letter |
| PR Zed (przed) | Point Break (1991) | Johnny Utah, Bodhi (Point Break) | Point Break is one of those films that hits my competency kink. I love Johnny learning surfing and getting good at it, and Bodhi being a master. I love the thought of the two of them working opposite sides of the law, and both being good at what they do. I'd love to see a missing scene from the film, maybe Johnny and Bodhi night surfing by themselves. Or a scene after Bodhi makes his escape in California, but before Australia. Maybe Johnny caught up to him once before, and let him go, for a while. Slash would be good, gen would be fine, I just want to see that sparky connection and rivalry between them. | letter |
| PR Zed (przed) | London Falling - Paul Cornell | Kevin Sefton, Joe (London Falling), Lisa Ross | I love this grittiness of this book, and how Quill and his team use police procedures against supernatural forces. I love how each member of the team uses his or her strengths to develop their own ways of dealing with the new world they've been thrown into. I especially love Kevin, and how he navigates race, sexual identity and class throughout the book. I'd love to see more with him and Joe, and how their relationship develops. Maybe a story from Joe's point of view. I'd love to see more of Kevin's interaction with Costain, and how they learn to respect each other. I'd love to see more of how Lisa deals with the fallout of learning about how her father really died. And it would be interesting to see a bit of how the team works together going forward, maybe dealing with some of the more mundane bits of patrolling the supernatural beat. | letter |
| PR Zed (przed) | Strike Back | Damien Scott Michael Stonebridge | A series that hits my competency kink. I love the professionalism that Scott, Stonebridge and the whole team bring to their assignments. I love the connection between Scott and Stonebridge, and the way they react when one of them is injured. I'd love some hurt/comfort, especially if it's Scott looking after Stonebridge. (I love the way the big lunkhead reacts when Stonebridge is in danger.) I'm okay with gen, but would also love to see slash. Maybe have them confined somewhere waiting, with Scott having no one but Stonebridge to expend his sexual energy on. I also love the women of Section 20, especially Richmond, and would love to see her involved in any story. | letter |

| pressdbtwnpages | Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate | Tobias (Animorphs), Rachel (Animorphs) | I would love a story about Tobias and Rachel as a couple. If you can find a way to fix-it the end of the series, that would be AMAZING, but any Tobias/Rachel would be lovely. If that pairing isn't really your thing, any sort of gen Animorphs hangs would be fun to read! (There will be more information in my Yuletide Letter!) |
letter |
| pressdbtwnpages | Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - Seth Grahame-Smith | Abraham Lincoln, Henry Sturges | I would be super into Abe/Henry as a relationship, at any point in the story. If that's not your thing, maybe a story about Lincoln's training or an adventure the two of them shared? Or all of the above? (There will be more information in my Yuletide Letter!) |
letter |
| pressdbtwnpages | Baseball RPF | Buster Posey, Hunter Pence | I would really enjoy a Posey/Pence story. Hunter's been talking a lot lately about loving Buster, so maybe something to do with that? (There will be more information in my Yuletide Letter!) |
letter |
| pressdbtwnpages | Catherine Called Birdy - Karen Cushman | Catherine | Birdy, Stephen (Catherine Called Birdy) | I am so excited that someone nominated this book for Yuletide! I would love a post-story fic about Birdy's life and who she becomes/how her marriage works. If that's not your thing, any Birdy character study or missing scene would be awesome. (There will be more information in my Yuletide Letter!) |
letter |
| pressdbtwnpages | The Montmaray Journals - Michelle Cooper | Simon Chester, Toby FitzOsborne | I would love a story about Simon and Toby as a couple (with or without Julia). If that isn't your thing, maybe something gen about Simon, Toby, Veronica, Sophie, and Henry growing up on Montmaray? (There will be more information in my Yuletide Letter!) |
letter |
| pressdbtwnpages | Ripper Street | Edmund Reid, Homer Jackson | I would love some sort of story showing Jackson/Reid in an actual relationship. If that isn't your cup of tea, maybe some kind of crossover with other Londoners of the time like Sherlock Holmes and/or Dr. Watson? (There will be more information in my Yuletide Letter!) |
letter |
| prettymanly | Foreigner Series - C. J. Cherryh | Bren Cameron | Expand on any of the background events that happen outside of Bren's POV in the main storyline. Or maybe world building and playing around with topics that Bren doesn't have access to, such as puberty and sexuality. SEXUAL COMEDY OF ERRORS and general mistranslation/biology problems. | letter |
| prettymanly | JoJo no Kimyouna Bouken | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure | Kujo Jotaro, Dio Brando | Casefic, ridiculous bombastic villian vs hero one upmanship, UST, confusing stand sex, MANY RAINBOW TINTED GLITTERING PUNCHES TO THE FACE ORAORAORAORAORAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA. Also maybe stand-slash and things exploding because of it. | letter |
| prettymanly | Tour of the Merrimack - R. M. Meluch | Augustus (Merrimack), John Farragut, José Maria de Cordillera, Caesar Numa Pompeii | Alternate universe explorations of August and Farragut's dynamic and events of the novel. Fix-it fic that incorporates new canon from The Ninth Circle (if you've read that far) or explores other possibilities given that canon leaves a lot of things open-ended. | letter |
| prettymanly | Ravenor Series - Dan Abnett | Gideon Ravenor, Kara Swole, Carl Thonius, Harlon Nayl | Case fic, Nayl and Thonius's relationship or lack thereof and/or crew fun times before it all goes to pot. Maybe a group orgy. Or group bff dynamics. Or Thonius being awesome. Or fix-it fic. All the fix-it fics. | letter |
| prettymanly | Gaunt's Ghosts - Dan Abnett | Ibram Gaunt, Elim Rawne | Gaunt and Rawne slash. Fight, or fuck fics (or fight and fuck), or things in general getting fucked (up). Friendship and trust building fics are good too. Or mission, adventure, or mundane fics featuring one or both, and the rest of the Tanith can come along. An Abnett prompted IKEA ending with Ravenor and Eisenhorn story would be triple bonus hilarious. | letter |
| prettymanly | Horus Heresy - Various Authors | Tarik Torgaddon, Garviel Loken | omething that explores the relationship between Garviel Loken and Tarik Torgaddon (which I'm convinced is an asexual romance, oh those astartes). Fix-it fic. Or something about Tarik and Loken's friendship. Also fix-it fic. Or something that explores how they became friends or why Tarik is obsessed with Loken's starchass, or Tarik somehow surviving when Loken had thought him dead - and he resurfaces. | letter |
| primeideal | Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate | Anything in this fandom. I adore Andalites and would love to read some Elfangor/Loren from the Earth years, or Tobias and Ax being shorms, but I'd also be up to see gen with the main six, Rachel/Tobias shipfic, maybe some Rachel/Marco banter, Tom shipping Jake/Cassie, or OC worldbuilding fic exploring some of the other fronts in the galactic war (the Iskoort and the free Hork-Bajir were sort of abandoned plot threads). More optional details at letter! | letter | |
| primeideal | Battle Royale (2000) | Kawada Shogo | omething with pre-movie Shogo would be great, maybe exploring his relationship with Keiko and how that progressed before or during the first program, showing his dark side during that Program, or how he hacked into the collar system before the second program. Anything about his friendship with Shuya and Noriko, during the movie itself, would be great too. If you'd prefer to bring in some novel or movie characterization, I wouldn't mind, but there's no need. More optional details at letter! | letter |
| primeideal | Princess Bride (1987) | As Inigo Montoya was the only character nominated, I'll focus on him, but including other characters would be fine by me. With Inigo, his post-movie adventures in piracy would be hilarious, whether that includes rhymes with Fezzik or more swashbuckling encounters with OCs. Does he deal more mercifully to victims than the previous Dread Pirates Roberts, and if so, how does his legend get around? Does he reunite with Westley and Buttercup later? Something introspective about his having to get over the need for revenge could also be insightful. More optional details at letter! | letter | |
| primeideal | Will Grayson Will Grayson - John Green & David Levithan | Anything goes, maybe post-book but don't hold yourself to that. Given the themes of the book, the importance of friendships and non-romantic relationships was something I'd really enjoyed, so I'd be interested in seeing more friendship stuff with Uppercase Will and Tiny (before or after the book). Or, at some other point, Tiny and Jane (setting up the Gay-Straight Alliance?) Uppercase and lowercase Will going on to be closer friends? Making fun of musical theater plots? Not that I'd mind Uppercase Will/Jane, either! More optional details at letter! | letter | |
| primeideal | The Sandlot (1993) | cotty and/or Benny in the intervening years from the main story to the epilogue scene? As I love baseball, any funny anecdotes from their parallel journeys with the game would be very welcome, but if you'd prefer just to write about their friendship over the years, that's fine too. If you're interested in them as kids, I'm guessing Benny in particular would, I assume, have to make his way into a more organized baseball team, leaving behind the chaos of the sandlot; how does he bring himself to make that changes, and/or how do Scotty (or the others?) support him? Or maybe, how does Scotty's relationship with his mom and stepfather evolve after the main plotline? More optional details at letter! | letter | |
| primeideal | Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan | Tam al'Thor, Thom Merrilin, Moiraine Damodred, Loial (Wheel of Time) | I've requested Tam, Thom, Moiraine, and Loial, so thanks for volunteering to write all of them, but for this fandom I'd happy to see just one, two, or three rather than all four of the requested characters--please don't feel like you have to force them in. For all four of them, I'd be interested in something post-series; where do they go from the events of the last battle onward? Thom and Loial have their different stories to write, anything about those (similarities? differences? meta-level commentary) would be fascinating, as would Thom/Moiraine or Loial/Erith. With Tam or Moiraine, I'd love to see Rand eventually revealing himself to them, maybe a while down the line once the tension of the Dragon's Peace has calmed down. More optional details at letter! | letter |
| prodigy | American Elsewhere - Robert Jackson Bennett | Mr. Parson (American Elsewhere), Mrs. Benjamin (American Elsewhere) | I dig this fucked-up family. I'd like something with the siblings formerly known as Mr. Parson and Mrs. Benjamin-- whether before, during, or after their 'Mr. Parson' and 'Mrs. Benjamin' identities, in either or both worlds. I also really like their brother First, so if you want to include him (or the Cupbearer or the Wildling, or Mother, for that matter) feel free. No real preference on gen or messed-up surreal transdimensional monster incest, so do what you wish. | |
| prodigy | The Folly of the World - Jesse Bullington | Sander Himbrecht, Jolanda (The Folly of the World) | Medieval Dutch-ish found family of my heart! I love Sander and Jolanda's unlikely hilarious familial bond and I'd basically just love to read about them on adventures and grousing and getting into trouble and whatever the hell. Referencing Sander's terrible taste in men is cool; undead and/or hallucinatory Jan is cool too, as is Sander and Jan's messed-up relationship, although I'd still prefer a focus on Sander and Jolanda. I'd take either post-book or during their Graf Tieselen stage. | |
| prodigy | A Little Night Music - Sondheim/Wheeler | Charlotte Malcolm, Carl-Magnus Malcolm | Wow, so worst marriage ever or worst marriage ever? I would love to read fic about the best worst marriage ever. Black comedy preferred, since it's a good way to swallow the Malcolms' horrible relationship, although I'd also take depressing seriousfic about it if you prefer. Any timeline is fine, as long as it focuses on the terrible two and their terrible matrimony. | |
| prodigy | BioShock Infinite | Robert Lutece, Rosalind Lutece | o I would basically love some bitter, dysfunctional Lutecest - I love the hints of their relationship fracturing, of Robert threatening to leave Rosalind unless they put things right, and more than anything I love the subtle *differences* between them: Rosalind's more dominant personality and ruthlessness, Robert's guilt and passive aggression. So fic about the trajectory of their relationship from that standpoint would be great. If you're not into the pairing I'd also take gen about their relationship from that viewpoint. | |
| professor | JourneyQuest | Wren (JourneyQuest), Rilk (JourneyQuest), Starling (JourneyQuest), Karn (JourneyQuest) | tarling/Karn backstory | letter |
| professor | Hopeless Savages | Arsenal Hopeless-Savage, Twitch Hopeless-Savage | I don't *dislike* Zero and Ginger, but I'd prefer they not be the main characters, as the canon has focused on them a lot. I'd love to hear more about Arsenal and Twitch and Rat. | letter |
| professor | The Gamers (Movies) | The Shadow | The Gamers (Movies), Joanna | The Gamers (Movies), Natalie | The Gamers (Movies), Leo | The Gamers (Movies) | Gen fic that focuses on the female characters in the movies. Or romance between Daphne/Sir Osric. Or backstory for The Shadow | letter |
| professor | The Gamers: Hands of Fate (2013) | Myriad Buxtehude, Dundareel | Myriad's quest | letter |
| prosodiical | The Cluefinders (Video Games) , | Santiago Rivera, Owen Lam, Leslie Clark Joni Savage | Anything with these four. How did they meet up? What do they get up to in the future? | letter |
| prosodiical | Emelan - Tamora Pierce | Briar Moss, Trisana Chandler, Sandrilene fa Toren, Daja Kisubo | I love these four - their friendship, the way they band together under crisis so well, and I would love anything with them being awesome friends or hanging out together. | letter |
| prosodiical | Final Fantasy XIII-2 | Serah Farron (FF XIII-2), Noel Kreiss | erah and Noel have such a great friends-vibe in this game, and I'd love to see more of it! Maybe expand on some of the paradox endings or them just hanging about and taking a break for once. | letter |
| prosodiical | Thursday Next - Jasper Fforde | Thursday Next | Thursday is an absolute favourite character of mine - I love how competent she is, and how she's grown over the series to take things (mostly) in stride. I would love Thursday literary adventures (visiting Uncle Mycroft in ACD or eradicating grammasites or vyruses in whatever book you like!) or more of her and her family and all the associated weirdness that comes with that. | letter |

| psiten | Lewis Barnavelt Series - John Bellairs | I am utterly in love with the unapologetic drama and B-movie feel of this series. Please feel free to go over the top! | ||
| psiten | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | October "Toby" Daye, The Luidaeg (Toby Daye), May Daye, Tybalt (Toby Daye) | Other characters are free to come along for the ride - and if some of the above aren't in the story, that's fine, too! All of them have very interesting relationships to each other. I'd love to see that explored in one of the rare quiet moments of their life. | |
| psiten | Black Jack (Anime & Manga) | Black Jack | I can't imagine anything written for this fandom that I *wouldn't* like. It has such a compelling mix of thoughtfulness, drama, and humor. A manga-like story would be interesting, or a look at what Black Jack does when he's not saving lives, or really anything the spirit moves you to write. | |
| psiten | Howl Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Howl Pendragon (Howl's Moving Castle), Sophie Hatter (Howl's Moving Castle) | This is one of my go-to feel-good series. I love the adventure and sass. This doesn't have to be romantic (although I don't mind), and please don't hesitate to include other characters. I'm open to stories at any point during or after canon. | |
| psiten | Don Quijote de la Mancha | Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes | I wrote my college senior thesis on the interaction of story and reality within Don Quijote, and how this relates to the communication of ideas from one human mind to another. Most of my work focused on Sancho's perspective as the meeting point between two worlds, but I would be happy to see anything you can do with this setting! Go nuts! | ||
| psiten | The Prince of Egypt (1998) | When I watch this movie (every year at Passover, and some other times too ^_^), it always makes me think about the personal anguish Moses felt in bringing destruction to a place and to people he loved with all his heart in order to save his people by blood from a life he felt -- again, with all his heart -- could not be borne. The clarity and emotional impact of that struggle is what I think sets this apart from other versions of the Exodus story. I would be interested in reading any story you're inspired to write for this fandom, for any characters or any point in canon! I only ship Moses romantically with Tzipporah, but I'm happy to read about Moses and Rameses interacting as brothers! |
||
| psychomachia | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Malcolm Merlyn (Arrow TV) | I often think of what might have been with the two. What if Malcolm had been willing to alter his plans at the end? What if Oliver was easier to manipulate? What if both of them had been on the island? Really, something expanding their relationship would be great - I love AUs because the canon doesn't give me enough of their interaction. Anything from gen to slash is fine. | letter |
| psychomachia | The Gates | Dylan Radcliff, Nick Monohan, Claire Radcliff | Honestly, the best part of this sadly cancelled show was their dynamic - especially once they teamed up together. Really, I hoped the second season would open with the three of them sharing a house, but alas, 'twas not meant to be. Still, anything involving them would be great - fun gen adventures up to sexy threesomes. | letter |
| psychomachia | 悪魔城ドラキュラ 暁月の円舞曲 と 蒼月の十字架 | Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow & Dawn of Sorrow | Kurusu Souma | Soma Cruz (Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow & Dawn of Sorrow), Dracula (Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow & Dawn of Sorrow), Arikado Genya | Genya Arikado (Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow & Dawn of Sorrow) | The three of them are a dysfunctional mess and I love it. Dracula and Arikado's complicated familial relationship, Soma's existence as an incarnation of Dracula, and Arikado's mentorship of Soma - they all interest me. So something exploring their trinity would be great - anything from gen to explicit is fine. | letter |
| psychomachia | Welcome to the Punch (2013) | Jacob Sternwood, Max Lewinsky | omething set after the movie would be awesome - I would love Jacob and Max on the run, snarking at each other and kicking ass. Because I refuse to believe that Sternwood would just let him rot in prison. Anything from gen to slash is fine. | letter |

| pts | Crimson Skies | I love the world of Crimson Skies. I LOVE THE WORLD OF CRIMSON SKIES. I love the alt-history, the crazy aircraft, the high-flying adventures, the whole thing. The characters from the games are nice, but feel free to use them or not as strikes your fancy. I just want something set in the Americas of Crimson Skies. Feel free to be just as geeky as the games themselves are about the aircraft; I love nerdy technical detail and characters that care about nerdy technical detail. | letter | |
| pts | Spaceteam | paceteam is a crazy Android/iOS game. What I'd like is fic that takes the absurdity of the game and considers what the lived experience of the crew of such a craft would be like. It seems like it would be hilarious and harrowing. | letter | |
| pts | Hyouka & Kotenbu Series | Chitanda Eru, Oreki Houtarou | I want what I never got from the anime. I want Chitanda and Oreki to kiss. I want them to make out awkwardly and earnestly. I want them to rock each other's worlds. I love their stupid adorable faces and I want to smush them together. | letter |
| pts | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Zamira Drakasha | This character is one of the great triumphs of the Bastard books, and I would love to know more about her. Past, future, anything. She's so great, and I want to know where she came from, and where she's going. | letter |
| puella_nerdii | Sengoku Basara | Uesugi Kenshin (Sengoku Basara), Takeda Shingen (Sengoku Basara) | What were these two up to during their heyday? I'd love to see how their rivalry began and developed -- where was their first battle, and what happened during it? They clearly grew closer over the intervening years; how did that closeness develop? I'm also fine with seeing them spend time together off the battlefield, enjoying moments of peace. | letter |
| puella_nerdii | Fate/Zero | Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri | I'd love to see almost anything that digs more into Sola-Ui's psyche and motivations. What was it like to grow up in a magus family and not be named the heir, even though she's far more talented than her brother? What were her goals before she got engaged to Kayneth, and did they change after? How did she prepare for the Grail War, and what would she have wished for? Explorations of magus society and gender politics are more than welcome. Feel free to draw on the light novels if you're familiar with them. | letter |
| puella_nerdii | Awoken - Serra Elinsen | Andromeda "Andi" Slate, Riley Bay | ome of Riley's family has met Andi already, but I'd love to see what happens when he takes her to meet some of his other relatives (since they didn't stick around for too long after the end of Awoken). I'm interested to see what some other famous figures in the mythos are up to in this setting, and what they think of Riley's rather unconventional relationship. Alternately, considering what the source material's parodying (and what the working title of Awoken was for a while), how about a Fifty Shades of Green-style AU? Or any other AU in the style of Twilight fandom's greatest hits, really. Play it as straight or as tongue-in-cheek as you like, but the opportunity seems too good to pass up. |
letter |
| puella_nerdii | Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger | I love all the characters who got nominated this year, and I'd be happy with a story about any of them! The length of the characters' lives means that there's plenty of stories to tell, too. A few prompt ideas: - Biffy and Lyall! Biffy (with Lord Maccon's help) learning how to be a good Alpha for a pack that needs a certain amount of urban sophistication; Lyall adjusting to life in Scotland and the state of the Kingair pack; what happens when they see each other again. - Genevieve and Countess Nadasdy: more of their shared history with Angelique, or what happens during Genevieve's service as one of Countess Nadasdy's drones. - More of Lord Akeldama's parenting adventures with Prudence. Just imagine what she'll be like as a teenager! - Ivy and Tunstell adjusting to their new position in society, and to Ivy's new status as a hive queen. What sort of fashions do they set for London's vampires? How do Ivy and Countess Nadasdy get along? Do they both have to give up acting? How does one balance the needs of one's hive with the needs of one's young children? - Alexia and Lord Maccon finally retiring to Egypt, though something tells me that their retirement won't be entirely peaceful... - Any of the supernatural characters in the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. How do they adapt to modern times, and how do modern times adapt to them? - Or heck, any of the supernatural characters in the centuries before the nineteenth. Particularly Lord Akeldama, if he's as old as he seems to be -- just how much has he seen? |

| Puimoo | 相方 | Aikata (manga) | Saiki Jun, Jin Kyotaro | Jin and Jun working together on a case! I can see them having a lot of fun working together, dealing with all the curve balls that come out, as well as getting into disastrous situations. | letter |
| Puimoo | 青春攻略本 | Seishun Kouryakuhon | Uemura Naotaka, Souta Nogami | Nogami is my favourite, but I enjoy his relationship with Uemura muchly. I know Uemura has a girlfriend, but I would enjoy either gen or yaoi for for Nogami and Uemura. Further adventures, Nogami's violent past coming back to haunt him again, get together fic. Or, Ryuuji/Nogami fic if you want to go with someone with a canon crush on Nogami. A fluffy or dark take on their relationship would be equally interesting. | |
| Puimoo | Toukaidou Hisame | Rokuhara Shion, Yakumo (Toukaidou Hisame) | Exploration of Yakumo and Shion's relationship, either through a case/scene their working, their past, things FROM their pasts impacting on their lives now, other people ... go wild. It's a relationship that is never going to be normal because Yakumo and Shion are both screwed up. What is their relationship like at its best? At its absolute worst? | letter |
| Puimoo | World Embryo (manga) | Kazama Tougo | Anything Tougo centric would be awesome, as he is my favourite character. Either fic just about him, or exploring his relationships with either Joe or his brother would be equally loved. Some ideas to use from inspiration (but don't feel you have to go with any of these): 1) If Tougo isn't careful with his weapon, it can cause him serious pain and agony. Maybe a situation where this happens, and other characters helping him through it. 2)Bonding between Tougo and Joe (gen or otherwise). Maybe over the fact Tougo has lost the big brother influence in his life, or some shared experience, or training/fighting together. 3)Tougo's brother was potentially engaged in some shady things, given his connections. Does Tougo ever get dragged into it? Gen or yaoi. | letter |
| Pun | Arcadia - Stoppard | Septimus Hodge, Thomasina Coverly | I would like something romantic and also banter-y between Thomasina and Septimus, please. Definitely would not object to an alternate ending! | letter |
| Pun | The Rifter - Ginn Hale | I'm pretty sure that if you love this series enough to offer it for Yuletide, you cannot fail to make me happy with whatever you write. I love John and Ravishan in all their incarnations, but I find all of the secondary characters delightful too. More details in Dear Yuletide letter. |

| Pun | Shelter (2007) | Zach (Shelter), Shaun (Shelter) | More details in Dear Yuletide letter. | letter |
| Pun | Tennis RPF | Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer | More details in Dear Yuletide letter. | letter |
| pwincess | Keen Eddie | Eddie Arlette, Fiona Bickerton | Anything about Eddie and Fiona snarking and secretly being awkwardly in love with each other. Feel free to include some of the following elements from the show: UST, insults, pranks of opportunity, domesticity/normal cohabitation stuff, quiet pining. | letter |
| pwincess | Bottle Shock RPF | Chris Pine (Bottle Shock RPF), Alan Rickman (Bottle Shock RPF) | It's my lifelong dream to read fic about Chris Pine hanging out in Alan Rickman's trailer and asking him to sort Chris into a Hogwarts House. My fantasy is that this is a recurring theme in Alan Rickman's life. | letter |
| pwincess | Revenge (TV) | Nolan Ross | I'm a reasonable person, so I occasionally find Revenge a little silly, but Nolan is the most consistent character on the show, and he's the greatest thing on television. I love his devotion to Emily, and would enjoy reading about that as gen or in a romantic context. Nolan/anyone, really, is one of my main interests in the show, so follow your heart. | letter |
| pwincess | Valentine (2008) | Write me a story about the sweet matchmaking team and their love for love! | letter | |
| pyroblaze18 (kultiras) | Troubleshooters Inc. - Suzanne Brockmann | Jules Cassidy, Robin Chadwick Cassidy | I love Jules and Robin so much, and any story about them would make me happy. Feel free to include Sam and Alyssa, or even Robin's sister Jane, because I love them too. In the short story "Beginnings and Ends,” Jules and Robin are planning to start a family and move to L.A. so that Robin can remain an actor while also getting to be a dad. A story about their new life there could be so interesting. But anything where Jules and Robin are together and happy will be perfect to me. | letter |
| pyroblaze18 (kultiras) | Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) | William Brandt, Ethan Hunt (Ghost Protocol), Jane Carter (Mission: Impossible), Benji Dunn (Ghost Protocol) | Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol is by far my favorite of the M:I films. It has everything I love in an action film: badass yet quirky main characters, a strong female character who can get the job done, a team that can be self-sufficient when necessary, and action scenes galore. I would love to see anything with the team working well together on another job, or even in an AU. I don't have any pairings in mind really—I love gen team!fics, but I do also read stories with Will/any of the others, usually Ethan/Will. | letter |
| pyroblaze18 (kultiras) | Ten Inch Hero | Boaz Priestly | The ending of the film—where Priestly ditches the hair dye, the piercings, and switches to a very clean-cut wardrobe as Boaz—never quite made sense to me. I never saw Priestly as an alter ego or as an identity he was hiding behind; I saw Priestly as who he was. I'd love to see a story set after the film about Priestly really figuring out his identity, possibly striking a balance between Boaz and Priestly. Feel free to include any of the other characters too; I love them all. I don't mind if the story remains Priestly/Tish, or if they break up as long as there's no character bashing. | letter |
| pyroblaze18 (kultiras) | The Unusuals | Jason Walsh Casey Shraeger Allison Beaumont | I love all of the characters on the show but Jason is my favorite character, and I love his relationships with Casey and Allison. I would love anything about these characters (really, any of the characters.) It can be gen, het (Jason/Allison or Jason/Casey as long as there's no character bashing, even Jason/Allison/Casey if you feel like it), really anything works for me. I just love the interactions and relationships. ...And dispatch. I love the random messages from dispatch. | letter |
| pyroblaze18 (kultiras) | Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn | Mara Jade (Thrawn) | Mara Jade has been my favorite Star Wars character from the moment I first read Heir to the Empire. I love everything about her, from her loyalty, to her willingness to survive even when the odds are against her. I would love to read anything about her, with any of the nominated characters (or none of them.) Want to write about Grand Admiral Thrawn and Mara Jade bonding over their loyalty to the emperor at a time when neither really seemed to be typical choices for their roles? Sounds awesome. Mara and Talon Karrde in her first years with his crew? I am intrigued. Anything about her would make me happy. | letter |
| pyroblaze18 (kultiras) | A-Babies Vs. X-Babies | Bucky Bear | I love the idea of Bucky Bear. He's the perfect blend of Captain America's best friend and a much loved children's toy. I would love to read anything set in the Baby Marvel universe, but anything with Bucky Bear would be even more fun. Maybe Bucky Bear is just one instance of a common Marvel character appearing in a different form—who else could be a toy? Are you familiar with Jim Henson's Secret Life of Toys or even Toy Story? Maybe Bucky Bear and others come to life as soon as the kids leave. Maybe Bucky Bear and Plushie Pizza Dog have adventures of their own. I would be thrilled to read about Bucky Bear, the A-Babies, or even the SHIELD-Babies, in any way that interests you—I just really want to read more in this fandom. Anything would be incredible! | letter |
| Qem | Hunter X Hunter | Ging Freecs, Killua Zoldyck | I've watched all of the original anime, and original ova's, and I am current to the current hiatus on the manga. I haven't finished watching the reboot (I think I'm a little past the first season) though I think it isn't too different? Please take this as an either/and/or, request - you don't need to write both characters, although writing them together, is fine as well. :) The only issue I have with shipping in this fandom, is I don't like underage explicit fic. I would rather it stay gen / chaste, unless they are adults (although I agree Gon/Killua is cute as well). 1. Ging is a character I didn't really care about in the original anime, but with some of the recent manga arcs I'm finding him completely fascinating. I've tried to keep this more general, but it might contain spoilers. I find it really fascinating with how everyone reacts to him in the election arc and how he's shown to be a complete troll. I find his relationship with Pariston Hill fascinating, writing more about that dynamic of trying to out predict the other would be awesome, and I want to see Ging's dream of exploring the world tree. (As I've said with a friend, it's a perfect crossover over opportunity, if you are so inclined XD.) I also find it fascinating seeing him briefly explain how he got into becoming a hunter and comparing and contrasting him with Gon. They have some similarities, but I think even in their similarities - it emphasises how different they both can be and exploring that in a character study, or plot fic with their contrasting reactions would be fascinating. 2. Killua is my absolute favourite character in hunter x hunter. I love his cheekiness combined with sense of responsibility. I love how much he supports Gon and their really valuable friendship. His relationship with his family is also really fascinating with how much they dote on him ( and he struggles sometimes to be free of their grasp). I also think that his relationship with Ging could be quite interesting as they both play an important role in Gon's life. I also really enjoyed seeing Killua with Biske-chan, with their training. There were some interesting things Biske-chan observed and building off that would be quite fun. I also love his relationship with Alluka shown in the latest arc of the manga - backstories or future fic with the two of them would be quite awesome as well. |

| Qem | Oresama Sensei | Oresama Teacher | Kurosaki Mafuyu | Assume I am current with English scanlations. I ship Mafuyu with basically everyone but her teacher (and if you don't believe me, here have a massively flailing post on shipping here: http://qem-chibati.dreamwidth.org/10477.html), and I've softened my stance since then on Saeki-sensei, as rereading the viz translation in random order helped him come more into a better more enjoyable context for me, so please feel free to go wherever you want with the shipping or gen, gen is great too. :) So Mafuyu/GIRLS, Natsuo/Okegawa, Mafuyu/Shibuya, Natsuo/Hayasaka, Usa-chan-man/Hayasaka, Mafuyu/THE PURE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP - any dynamic if it has a Mafuyu, I AM SO THERE. I would love to see something that focuses on her secret identities, especially Natsuo, whether it's a more serious questioning of her own identity, or madcap adventures, or just her hanging out as a guy with the guys, or Usa-chan-man to the rescue! Anything about her secret identities would be great. :) AU/fusions's with secret identities are totally ok as well! XD Perhaps that magical girl costume was a foreshadowing to something more?! Friendship is another trope I really enjoy in Oresama sensei — I adore how she and Hayasaka have been bonding with ninja in the more recent chapters. Mafuyu's friends are really valuable to her, be they from her old school or current one, and watching how she can alternate between acting like an oblivious guy, an absolute klutz and being quite insightful is just wonderful, and if you wanted to have the fic feature a friendship turn to something more, that sounds very fun indeed. XD |

| Qem | Genshiken | |o/ I will legit be totally happy with anything you produce for this fandom, but here are some prompts to get you going — so please if we matched on Genshiken — look at what works best for you. Susanna Hopkins SUE! OMG SUE! Sue is a priceless opportunity for squeezing in a ton of crazy anime references. She's also super talented (except for maybe speaking Japanese — but she's learning). Backstory of what her life is like in the US (I suspect that it may of been rather lonely apart from Angela and Ohno), having her as an undercover US spy [where does she go when she's not part of the club/ what her life is like in Japan apart from genshiken (alternatively it must be so frustrating being a foreigner and there's a lot of struggles we probably don't see), seeing how did she get into anime?!?! friendship fic, GAINING A WAIFU, comedic MADCAP ADVENTURES, just oh Sue being Sue. XD Basically,I would be all over everything from angsty character study/backstory to crazy protecting the world through anime puns. Yajima Mirei Oh her poor maiden heart. <3 I'd love it if she got a chance to indulge in it some more. XD I ship her with Rika and Hato, if you wanted to go down a shipping route, or maybe previous to genshiken she seems to have been used to being the confident one (abet resigned to being low on the popularity totem) something- helping her to find her way again? I think Yajima is a total sweetheart — she seems like she'd be a really good friend even if she's reserved at first / doesn't always get other's oddities. One of my head canons about Yajima Merei being uncomfortable with Hato as a guy, is because she finds him more attractive as a girl.... Rika Yoshitake/Yajima Merei or Yajima Merei/Ohno where they deal with Merie's confidence issues and help her to feel attractive and wanted (through cosplay as a bonus! :D), would be oh amazing. I think it would also be really cool to see Yajima with an OC male character, or the highschool character from her past, overcoming some of her previous issues would also be good. Kasukabe Saki I ship Saki with Madarame, Kousaka and or Ohno! Gen is fine too. ÔÅä Saki was my favourite in the original series; I loved her enough to even cosplay her at a convention. I love the powerful way she wields a broomstick, her moments of insight, forcing her to cosplay, (in fact, I adore the image of Ohno's gleeful grin as she backs Saki into a corner on the cosplay.) I love the way that she alternates between a tougher persona (gotta keep the geeks in check) and moments of vulnerability. If you can find a way to fit that in a fic, I will be very happy. Hato Kenjirou Hato Kenjirō HATO! I LOVE HATO! I love their duality of personalities, their soft words combined with lethal grip. I love Hato's humour, and the way Hato gravitates towards Madarame, and their developing relationship with Yajima. I like Hato being one of the girls, and I enjoy seeing the rare opportunities to watch Hato bond as one the boys. Some of the latest manga chapters have me craving more, with his relationship with Madarame. Can they be friends? Can it be something more? HATO JUST PULLS ON ALL MY HEART STRINGS. I only really ship him with Madarame and sometimes with Yajima, but gen fic is awesome and I'm not opposed to shipping them with anyone else if that's what works best for your fic ideas. small note: I... I have a lot of difficulty in reading Hato's gender identity other than complicated, so write it whatever way works for you. Madarame Harunobu Madrame is the character I was not expecting to like in the first series, but I love how much he has grown over time - he actually turned out to be a really decent person. I ship him with Hato, Saki, Kousaka and the Sasahara's (either one, ba boom ching. :D) XD I also enjoy watching Susanna being friends with him. XD He's just so awkward, and funny. Seeing how much he's grown from the original episode, or him finally having some moments of happiness would be great. Or maybe having him be the otaku amongst otaku? |

| Qem | Aitsu no Daihonmei | His Most Favorite | Yoshida Yoshio | I have read volumes 1-5! Gen or BL is great with me. (the uh, het options would be hilarious to my inner S but are probably a little difficult to pull off. XD) I'm sorry Yoshida, I just like to watch you suffer. XD I love how Yoshida is just a really amazing human being and how he has the compassion to accept others. I love how much Satou loves him, even if he insists on teasing to show his love. If you wanted to have Satou being sappy and making up for being mean to Yoshida, that would be /adorable/. On another note, misunderstandings featuring Toranosuke or Nishida would be awesome too. If you want to play with other pairings that fine with me, but Satou might disagree. :3 (Ahahaha, and actually, watching Satou suffer as Yoshida's being happy with other people is also highly enjoyable to me! :D) And having Yoshida being a hero is always A++, AU or canon. |

| Qem | Hataraku Maou-Sama! | The Devil Is a Part-Timer! | "Do you get off on having two guys live together?" Yes. Yes I do. Actually, gen or het is fine, too! I really enjoyed completing this 12 episode anime series, and wistfully wish for a sequel. Crazy antics from the series, fast food being one step away from hell, back stories on their relationships and how the maou became like he is would be awesome. I'm pretty interested in any aspect, from hero training, demonic subduction or what their landlady is up to in Hawaii. Some prompty ideas! 1. Ashiya Shirou | Alciel Ashiya is so loyal and while he may seem frivoulous, he occasionally has deep thoughts and handles himself well (like explaining his relationship to the Maou to a stranger). Maybe something showing his more competent side? 2. Maou Sadao | Satan Jacob How did he end up becoming the maou?! Let your inner conspiracy theorist go wild! Or alternatively maybe something with him working his way up the corporate ladder? Does he ever try to make amends for his previous life as an evil over lord? He's said once that he didn't really understand humans back then, maybe something about his misunderstanding? Insight into his current understanding would be quite interesting. 3. Urushihara Hanzou | Lucifer Does he ever become something more than a neet? XD 4. Yusa Emi | Emilia Justina Emilia is my hero!! Adorable backstory from when she was very young, the tough training she must of gone through, long campaigns, perhaps some preseries hints she might have received about how the church isn't quite right. Or even some post series long distance relationships she might have with her previous friends. |

| Qem | Otomen | Masamune Asuka | I have read up to volume 11! I love how this series plays with the gender roles, and even though Masamune Asuka is undoubtedly strong - he also has a fondness for shoujo manga, cooking, sewing, the colour pink - and although I myself am only incredibly fond of one of those things (shoujo manga *g*), his enthusiasm I find infectious in the series. His love interest character Ryo, never feels criticised in the text for not having those interests, only that she's a great person and perfect the way she is. I love the relationship with Asuka and Ryo, with how they easily bend gender roles and yet are perfect together. I also really like the relationship Asuka shares with Juta (and the way Juta admires and tries so hard to help Asuka move his relationship forward for Juta's deadlines Asuka's happiness. Oh and Tonomine being TsunTsunDereDere with Asuka is hilarious. Friendships, pairing, or even sneaking in a threesome with any of the above would be joy! Some optional ideas to consider: Rifts on shoujo tropes, more adventures in confounding expectations, or serious questioning of gender-roles; and how it is ok to subvert societies expectations are all elements I'd love to see explored. Having them (Auska and anyone) just being happy together, would be great as well. :) Another idea is having Asuka and Ryo, playing plucky detectives and investigating Tachibana occasionally mysterious ways would be a hilarious reversal of Juta following them. Another idea that I think would be really cool to see is if they could play match maker on him. Backstory on Asuka's relationship with either/both of his parents would also be very cool. |

| antumvelvet | Lost Girl | Dyson (Lost Girl) Lauren (Lost Girl) Tamsin (Lost Girl) | We've been given snippets of these characters' pasts before they met Bo, but I'd love further exploration of their previous adventures. They don't have to interact - in fact, I'd be happy with a bit of history filled in for any one of them. Of course, some speculation as to just what happened after the Season 3 finale would be delightful, too. |
letter |
| antumvelvet | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Jennifer Mills Abbie Mills | I love how these three characters interact. I love how they worked together when they came under attack. I'd love to see them work together again - on a case, or to solve some of the less tangible mysteries of the coming apocalypse, or just to figure out how to maintain some semblance of a life with demons and monsters popping up every fifteen minutes or so. | letter |
| antumvelvet | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | Amandine (Toby Daye) | I'd love to see some speculation on Amandine's history. Who was she, before she broke under the weight of her daughter's disappearance? We've seen bits and pieces, enough to know she was and is formidable, but what did it really mean to be the Last of the First? | letter |
| antumvelvet | Dishonored (Video Game) | Emily Kaldwin | I'd like to see the empress Emily grows into, and how her experiences during and after the two coups shapes her rule. | letter |
| antumvelvet | Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (TV) | Alice (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland), Cyrus (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland) | I'd love to see some of Alice and Cyrus's adventures before they were separated. How much trouble do a genie and a hero get into? | letter |
| antumvelvet | Invaders (Marvel) | Jacqueline Falsworth-Crichton (Invaders), Jim Hammond (Invaders) | I'd love to see these two on an adventure together, or in a quiet moment, or catching up after one of their (many) periods of separation. | letter |
| arterturn | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | I would love to see just about anything involving Hansel and Gretel. Pre-movie or post-movie, adventure fic or character-driven fic or slice of life, anything! I ship these two like burning, so if you wanted to write a fic where they're more than just siblings, I would be ecstatic. But I also love just their brother and sister dynamics, how it's so obvious how much they care about each other, so if incest isn't your thing, don't sweat it! I didn't choose any other characters, but if you opt for a post-movie fic, I'm fine with Ben and Edward being included if you'd rather do a team fic. |
letter |
| arterturn | Zombieland (2009) | Tallahassee, Little Rock, Columbus, Wichita | This movie pulled me in for the zombies and kept me with the found family aspect. I ADORE found family situations, and I especially love found families where the characters wouldn't necessarily be people you'd see getting along. Because of that, I'd prefer post-movie fic to pre-movie (although if you have your heart set on backstory, go with it!) I'd love to see these four finding a place to settle down and what that would involve, or finding another group of survivors and how that would go, or just continuing their roadtrip. I'd prefer genfic for this, but I'm fine with pairing up any of the adult characters if that's what strikes you! I don't have any strong feelings one way or the other about Columbus and Wichita's romantic relationship, so feel free to include it or have it fizzle out, whatever you want. If it does fizzle, I'd prefer they split amicably, though. |
letter |
| arterturn | Quantum Leap | Sam Beckett, Al Calavicci | What I would really like is some Quantum Leap fic set in the present day, either with Sam leaping into someone in 2013 or an update on how the project is going in 2013, with Sam leaping into whatever time and place you want. Something big (leaping into a politician, actor/actress, etc.) or something small (leaping into an everyday guy/lady) or something in between, I'm not picky! I love the bond between Sam and Al, Sam's earnestness and Al's snark, and the way they find time to be friends despite the insane situation they're in. I'm not a huge fan of Sam/Al romantically, but if that's your thing, go for it! I will love whatever you write, because I miss this show and would just love to see two of my favorite characters in action again somehow. | letter |
| arterturn | The Heat (2013) | Shannon Mullins, Sarah Ashburn | I loved these two women together SO MUCH. I've always been a sucker for buddy-cop movies, and a sucker for Sandra Bullock movies, so basically I knew I was going to love this movie even before I saw it. It didn't disappoint! I love that Mullins mellows Ashburn out and Ashburn focuses Mullins. They just complement each other so well, and I think the movie did a great job of cementing their relationship so that it's not hard to imagine these two being lifelong friends. I would love love love to see some casefic for these two where they partner up and take down another bad guy, or even some kind of non-police related adventure. Roadtrip? Zombie apocalypse AU? Whatever strikes your fancy! If you don't want to do casefic or adventure fic, I'd also love something about them just being bros, going out drinking or painting a room or dealing with Mullins' family. I'm also cool with pairing these two up romantically, if that's the route you want to go! |
letter |
| Quasar | Hysteria (2011) | Mortimer Granville (Hysteria), Edmund St. John-Smythe (Hysteria) | I would really love something hot and steamy between Mortimer and Edmund. Maybe when they're younger foster-brothers just learning about sex. Or maybe during the movie when they're figuring out other uses for the Jolly Molly or ways of soothing poor Mortimer's hand. Not after the movie, since I'm not into infidelity. But if some of the ladies want to get involved also, that's great! If you don't want to get too explicit, some delicate talking around the edges of the issue after the style of the movie would also be fun. | |
| Quasar | The Death of the Necromancer - Martha Wells | Sebastion Ronsarde | My first choice would be some slashy backstory on Dr. Halle and Inspector Ronsarde - how did they meet, what was their first case, how/when did they realize they were in love, what have they had to do to keep their love from causing a scandal? But Dr. Halle didn't make it into the nominations list so that request has to be optional. I'd also be very happy to see anything with Nicholas, his friendships with Arisilde or Renard, his adoption, his love life (men or women), his awkward dealings with Ronsarde after the book or near misses with Ronsarde before the book, anything like that. I'm a big fan of plotty backstories and sidestories, and I also adore angsty emotional revelations driven by hurt/comfort. | |
| Quasar | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Jean Tannen, Locke Lamora | Okay, so I haven't actually read the third book yet. But we know Locke's long-lost love who we haven't met is featured in it. I'd like a story (with maybe a little bit of caper in the plot or background - or a lot of caper, even!) where Locke finally realizes he gets along much better with Jean than with Sabetha, so maybe he should make that commitment real and explicit (and maybe physical?). In the unlikely event that the third book actually includes such a scene, feel free to elaborate on it! Changing canon to make it better is okay by me, or maybe you can find a way to squeeze these things in between canon events. Don't worry about spoilers, because I WILL have read the third book by Christmas. | |
| Quasar | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | I do love Bujold's characters, especially from the first two books. But I'd really like a wider exploration of how the five gods work in the world, or sometimes fail to work. So my dearest wish would be a story centered around an original character or a very minor book character, with appearances (short cameo up to significant supporting role) by one or more of Bujold's heroes. Maybe a convention-breaker saint, like a woman touched by the Son or a man blessed by the Mother? Or maybe a character following a saint around, being very confused, trying to smooth things over? The Honorable Paginine struggling to judge a case despite the Father's help? Or hey, whatever happened to that Roknari slave who used to be a tanner - was he some kind of saint who will later bump into Cazaril and have his hands and feet kissed by the Chancellor of Chalion? Gen/het/slash or the eroticism of holy ecstasy, all acceptable. Go to town! | ||
| nbookwench | I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous - Frank Turner (Song) | I'd love to know more about the characters who are sketched, briefly but vividly, in this song. Does Justin ever make it big? How did the revolution of English boys with banjos go? What are the dragons that Jay slays? Why is Tre the safest girl the narrator knows? (And--I love FT but feel free to twit the unconscious misogyny that sometimes slips into his songs!) Maybe a scene of all of them being in the entourage of a more famous friend? Or just generally bumming around London and making music? |
||
| nbookwench | Green Sky Trilogy - Zilpha Keatley Snyder | I'm interested in all of the major characters and basically just love this universe. A few ideas to get you going: Post-series Pomma/Teera or gen friendship as they deal with the fallout of book 3. Something about the pre-history of this world and how they came to the planet--and maybe how that mutated from history into legend. One of the few things I _don't_ love is that when the POV shifts away from Raamo, he starts to seem more like a Christ-figure and less like the earnest but very real young teenager he is in book 1; so maybe a missing scene from book 2 or book 3 from his point of view. Do'l Falla is a great character-gifted, flawed, ultimately trying to set things right. I'd love to see her as a younger woman or maybe interacting with one of the younger characters. I couldn't fit them in to the character set but I also love Genaa and Neric and their relationship; backstory/pre-series fic from their points of view, alternate POVs or missing scenes, or post-series fic (especially post-series fic) would all be great. Shippy or gen is fine. |
||
| nbookwench | And Both Were Young - Madeleine L'Engle | Philippa Hunter, Paul Laurens, Erna Weber, Collette Perceval | Ever since I read in _Listening for Madeleine_ (an oral/interview based biography of L'Engle) that Flip Hunter's love interest was a girl in the first draft of this book and an early editor convinced her to change it, I have been craving f/f slash in this universe. What if Paul Laurens--the handsome, troubled, war-orphan love interest--was _Paulette_? What changes? What What stays the same? If that doesn't appeal, I'd love femslash with the girls at the school (Erna/Flip or Erna/Jackie) or gen friendship fic. I like all of Flip's girlfriends but I suggested Erna because the book only lightly touches on the implications of Erna being German at an international school almost immediately post-WWII and I think more about that would be interesting. Or, alternatively, some gen mentor & student interaction between Flip and Madame Perceval. An unrequited crush on Flip's part is fine (it's practically canon!) but I'd really rather not read a teacher/student relationship. Or...L'Engleverse fans know that Flip becomes a successful artist because one of her paintings plays a role in A Severed Wasp. What happens between boarding school and then? Gen, het, slash or all of the above. |
|
| nbookwench | Tennis RPF | Martina Navratilova (Tennis RPF), Chris Evert (Tennis RPF) | Tennis might have been my first fandom--the era I'm interested is the early 80s to early 90s, when I was a kid watching Wimbledon & the US Open with my mom. I always cheered for Martina and Mom always cheered for Chrissy but I loved them both. I'd love f/f slash with those two, or gen friendship fic if you're uncomfortable slashing the living. I'll have links in my journal but here are some possibilities: Late 70s/early 80s when Martina was a new defector and still trying to fulfill her potential. Martina introduced Chris to one of her exes, Andy Mills. What if that had gone a little differently? Martina wrote in her autobiography that Chris was her rock on her first emotional return trip to Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). Fic with a real sense of place and end of the cold war historical moment would be great. Martina/Wimbledon. 'Nuff said--especially anything set around her last final against Conchita Martinez. Feel free to use major figures from the women's (or men's) tour of that era--Tracy Austin, Hana Mandlikova, Billie Jean King, Steffi Graf etc... Funnily enough, this is one of the few fandoms where I'd also enjoy a really radical AU, as long as it preserved their characters--Martina & Chrissy as space pirates or Cold War astronauts/cosmonauts would be amazing, f'r instance! |
|
| nbookwench | The Inquisitor's Apprentice Series - Chris Moriarty | I would be so thrilled with anything in this series! It has great historical atmosphere, character depth, and does diversity right--I'd love to see a fic that builds on those excellent qualities! Ideas: Sasha, Sasha's dybbuk, and their dark, complex relationship. What happens as the dybbuk becomes more and more a separate individual? Lily Astral--I'd love to see more of the series from her point of view! Rosie DiMaggio--I love that she's beautiful, obsessed with inventions and science and absolutely unapologetic about being herself. Anything more about Rosie would be great! And if Rosie were to meet and have adventures with Lily, or with Bekah Kessler, that would be amazing. I love the entire Kessler family and more scenes of them being awesome and having each others' backs would be awesome. Maxmilian Wolf--I'd love more Inspector Wolf backstory! Or future fic, or missing scenes from his POV... |

| nbookwench | Psy-Changeling - Nalini Singh | I'm more into the worldbuilding in this series than I am invested in most of the romance; basically anything that explores some aspect of that will make me happy. A few things I'm curious about: what is it like to be an ocean-based changeling? a non-predatory changeling? how have the Forgotten's abilities changed? I love the series but I'm not a super fan of the whole alpha-male/bonding aspects and I like that Singh herself has started complicated it a bit (Riaz & Adria subverting mating bonds, Indigo mating with less-dominant Drew) and I'd love to see that taken further. A vulnerable male (River Shannon comes to mind) and a lone female changeling? The lack of LGBTQ pairings is also noted--feel free to change that. Some existing characters/pairings I like: Max Shannon/Sophia Russo--I'd actually love to know how their lives have been going post-Bonds of Justice? Sienna Lauren Snow--I'd love fic of her hanging out with different members of the pack, basically growing into her role as a kickass leader. I like Hawke but I'd love to see something that focuses mainly on Sienna's evolution. Alice Eldredge--What happens when she wakes up? (Should I mention that Alice/Amara is my femslash crack pairing?) Nikita Duncan & Anthony Kyriakus--middle-aged psy love? Or just building an empire"? Sasha Duncan Hunter--I love her journey throughout the series. Her evolving control of her gifts, her relationship with Lucas, and especially her evolving relationship with Nikita as Sasha becomes a mother herself. Cade/Tally--I love their roles as mentors to the abused Forgotten kids. And most of all--what happens when Silence falls? |

| noffruits | Fate/EXTRA | Rider (Fate/Extra) (Francis Drake), Assassin (Fate/Extra) (Li Shuwen) | I actually don't want both of them in this fic. I want fic about one of them, or the other. Just Assassin, or just Rider, because, you see, I want fic about them during their mortal lives. Something about Rider on the high seas, or talking with Queen Elizabeth (francis/elizabeth femslash is A-OK<3), how she got the scar on her face, or in her old age looking at some piece of treasure and nostalgically remembering where and how she got it. Alternatively, something about the life of Li Shuwen. He lived in an interesting time for Chinese history: the late 1800s and early 1900s. |
letter |
| noffruits | Free! | Matsuoka Gou | Gou likes muscles. I want fic about Gou being confused over, or hot for, or confused over AND hot for muscle girls. Presumably ones sees at a gym or pool or at the beach or something. Any other character's inclusion for thoughts/reactions would be amusing as well. :3 |
letter |
| noffruits | Maria-sama ga Miteru | Fukuzawa Yumi, Hasekura Rei, Shimazu Yoshino | I find the subtext and relationship between Yoshino and Yumi to be super cute. They're just so adorable together, and have this certain bond. Yoshino has an easier time being her energetic self with Yumi (Rei worries about Yoshino so much, coddling her, but Yumi doesn't), and Yoshino is so actively on Yumi's side (while her soeurs are refined but sometimes distant Sachiko and tsundere Touko). The three of them have a lot of potential for an interesting dynamic. Yoshino can be a little catty and so energetic, and Rei, while not exactly possessive, is very protective of Yoshino. While Yumi would never qualify as a danger to Yoshino in Rei's mind, she could have some complicated feelings about Yoshino and Yumi under the surface. Any story where the intersection of the three of them, essentially with Yoshino in the middle, as the crux of the MariMite style drama would be delight for me. I'd be especially amused if Yoshino was semi-using Yumi to get back at Rei over something. >.> |
letter |
| noffruits | Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha | Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha | Takamachi Nanoha, Fate Testarossa | Fate T. Harlaown, Subaru Nakajima, Ginga Nakajima | I actually have two prompt ideas which don't require all four characters. 1) Nanoha & Fate's wedding. Anything from it. Little snippets, the whole thing, whatever. I can imagine Nanoha being one of those overbearing brides trying to make everything perfect, and Fate's mother being all emotional, and Hayate trying to manage things. Could be before or after Strikers. Flower girls Vita and Vivio. And Bridezilla Nanoha. I would love to see Bridezilla Nanoha~ :D Her special day must be perfect. 2) ... I'm a big fan of Ginga/Subaru, so anything to do with that would be pretty awesome, but I know this is a squick for some people. It doesn't even have to be romantic or sexual, but if it is something about the taboo of crossing the line it could be interesting. Also, I adore Nove. |

| n_ypolita | The Praise Singer - Mary Renault | I haven't picked any characters so anything goes :) The Praise Singer has lovely reflections on the nature of composing poetry, lyric or dramatic, and on the nature of remembering, and with the character nominations that I originally made, there would be scope to explore how the different characters position themselves there. Or something else that you find inspiring about the book. | letter | |

| rsuperteens (thatrainbow) | Hawkeye (Comics) | Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) Bobbi Morse (Hawkeye) | Bobbi mentoring Kate. Kate and Bobbi flirting. Kate and Bobbi deciding to jump Clint. Kate and Bobbi not doing anything remotely romantic/sexual and just being friends. I DON'T CARE I JUST WANT BOBBI AND KATE INTERACTING. | |
| rsuperteens (thatrainbow) | The Brothers Bloom (2008) | I would love something with Penelope and Bang Bang hanging out. Or possibly something shippy! I'm flexible. Painting toenails and building bombs and stuff. Just. Girls. Spending time together. Please. | ||
| rsuperteens (thatrainbow) | Fearless Defenders (Comics) | Annabelle Riggs (Fearless Defenders), Brunnhilde | Valkyrie (Fearless Defenders) | Give me Annabelle processing/dealing with suddenly having the woman she was falling for SHARING HER BODY. Or Val doing the same thing. | |
| rsuperteens (thatrainbow) | Orphan Black (TV) | Alison Hendrix, Sarah Manning, Kira Manning, Cosima Niehaus | Kira sometimes has to spend time with her new aunts. They all look like her mum but they are very different. ...iunno, i like the mental image. give it a run! | |
| rsuperteens (thatrainbow) | Young Allies (Marvel) | Rikki Barnes (Young Allies), Anya Sofia Corazon (Young Allies) | eriously just give me adorable supergirlfriends. please. Or, you know, heartbreaking supergirlfriends. Post-Onslaught Unleashed is the saddest time. | |
| hmael | The Art of Fielding - Chad Harbach | Guert Affenlight, Owen Dunne | Oh gosh, Guert and Owen. I absolutely love their relationship, and I'd love a fic that portrays some aspect of that relationship's development. You can set it in an AU where the ending of the book...does not happen the way it did, or it can be during the time of the book. Fluff is always good, and sex is optional (but I will not complain if it's in there! If you're uncomfortable writing it, then snuggling is fine too). You are welcome to include other characters like Pella, Henry, Mike, Contango (!! :D), and any other member of the Westish baseball team. There are minor characters that I'm very fond of (like Sophie Skrimshander and Adam Starblind--but not together because that's weird) so if you can include them, bonus points for you! But don't feel pressured. | letter |
| hmael | Moby Dick - Herman Melville | Starbuck (Moby Dick - Herman Melville), Ishmael (Moby Dick - Herman Melville), Queequeg (Moby Dick - Herman Melville), Captain Ahab | Ishmael/Queequeg and/or Ahab/Starbuck please!! Sex is not necessary (actually I don't ship Ahab/Starbuck sexually--their love is more emotional for me). I'd just love general emotions about the Pequod as they continue their journey deeper into the sea, father from the comforts of home with a mentally unstable captain. Feel free to bring in any other characters from the book! Also if you'd like to do an AU where Queequeg actually survives I would not complain. Or if you want to write about the magical adventures of Ishmael post-Pequod that's fine too. | letter |
| hmael | Rappaccini's Daughter - Nathaniel Hawthorne | Giovanni Guasconti, Beatrice Rappaccini | Whoever nominated this brilliant and beautiful story, you're my hero. I would love to read some fic about what would have happened if Giovanni didn't get all angry at the end and he and Beatrice actually ended up together. What would have happened if the kissed? If they had sex? Would Giovanni become poisonous too and they'd be an awesome poisonous superhero couple? Envision a cool future for them! | |
| hmael | Literary RPF | Nathaniel Hawthorne (Literary RPF), Herman Melville (Literary RPF), Sophia Peabody Hawthorne (Literary RPF) | Ugh, these three. Nathaniel and Sophia were so in love, Melville loved Melville so much, Hawthorne probably loved Melville but not as much/not in the same way as Sophia...you can pair them any way you'd like--have fun with the love triangle! Or you could just focus on Hawthorne/Melville or Nathaniel/Sophia. Or you could do a threesome--go to town! Bonus points if you bring in the Hawthorne children! Fluff is good, but I think there's a lot of potential here for emotional devleopment--you can indirectly address notions of sexuality and sexual identity before our modern-day terminology existed, if that's your thing. Sex is optional--if you want to write it, go ahead, but I tend to not think of Hawthorne/Melville as sexual just because I don't think it reached that point historically. Also if you want to do a modern-day setting I am totally into that! | letter |
| hmael | Hamlet - Shakespeare | Horatio (Hamlet - Shakespeare), Hamlet (Shakespeare) | Hamlet and Horatio! Clearly Hamlet actually loves Horatio because Horatio is the only person Hamlet is nice to in the entire play. Write anything you'd like! Fluff is good (though these two seem kind of intense for fluff), AU's where Hamlet survives are very cool (what would happen if you set Hamlet in the modern day? Denmark still has a monarchy!) Sex is always good, but not necessary. You can mention other characters, but I'd prefer it if you didn't put Ophelia between Hamlet and Horatio. Ophelia is awesome (I feel very bad for her) and she can absolutely be in the story, especially if you release her from the terrible influence of the men in her life. But for this ship, I'm not really into the threesome thing. | letter |
| Quettaser | Dostana (2008) | Sameer Acharya, Kunal Chauhan, Neha Melwani | Clearly there needs to be all of the post-canon fic in the world for this movie. There's a couple of different directions you could go with a story and all of them would make me happy. You could go for slash and find out what happened with Sameer and Kunal after that kiss or maybe a missing scene or two from the film. You could go a threesome direction and include Neha, because Neha's the best. Or you could keep things platonic and have the guys learning how to be better friends and better people, with Neha's help of course. This is a fandom ripe for shenanigans, so whatever what direction you take, have fun with it! | letter |
| Quettaser | The Ghost Bride - Yangsze Choo | Li Lan, Er Lang | I desperately need adventures, so many adventures. I'd love something set post-canon, with Li Lan telling Er Lang her decision or their adventures in his minor government official capacity. There must be another case that they both get tangled up in and work together to solve. Clearly, I adore their dynamic, with Li Lan not taking any of Er Lang's nonsense and Er Lang really enjoying that. If you didn't want to write post-canon, you could always tell me more about Er Lang and his dragon family or his government work. | letter |
| Quettaser | Old Kingdom - Garth Nix | Sabriel (Old Kingdom), Touchstone (Old Kingdom) | I'm desperate for more stories that take place during the restoration of the Kingdom, between the first two books. I just want to read all about Sabriel and Touchstone being awesome and clearing out parts of Belisaere, training charter mage recruits, or rebuilding the Charter. Give me all of the adventures where these two have to be smart and strong and great. Any romance would be a cherry on the top of the sundae, but definitely isn't required to make me happy. Include the kids too, if you want. | letter |
| Quettaser | Alloy of Law - Brandon Sanderson | Marasi Colms (Alloy of Law), Wayne (Alloy of Law), Waxillium "Wax" Ladrian (Alloy of Law) | How do I even start? There's so much that I want for this fandom that I can't even begin to form sentences. This novella only exists to make me want stories. Tell me about Wax and Wayne being partners pre-canon. Tell me about Marasi joining their mission post-canon, since something big is definitely hinted at in the epilogue, or maybe she becomes a successful lawyer/judge and kicks ass all over Elendel. Tell me about how they all bone, because obviously that's going to happen. I'm just so charmed by how all three of them are charmed by each other and their competence. A threesome isn't necessary to make me happy, but I would love all three characters included even in a non-romantic capacity, unless you decide to set your story pre-canon, in which case, woohoo, bring on the gunslinging! | letter |
| Quettaser | Last Rune Series - Mark Anthony | Travis Wilder, Beltan of Calavan | The thing I love the most about this book series is how it is next level bonkers. Cult of gay knights? Sure. Wild west time travel? Okay. Fairies that somehow result in characters having a threesome baby? SIGN ME UP. Obviously Travis and Beltan's epic romance has a place close to my heart. If you decide to write them together, I care less about the porn than them figuring out their relationship in predictably awkward ways (but hey, who doesn't like porn?). If you don't want to write them together, you could focus on Travis trying to become less oblivious or him helping Grace become comfortable with feelings! Or write a story about Beltan learning how to navigate normal Earth things like ATMs and the DMV. | letter |

| Quillori | Bele Doette (Traditional Chanson) | I'd love more about the abbey Doette founds, with its feast false lovers are unable to enter, and the gathering together of those who have suffered for love - I imagine it along the lines of some of the mysterious palaces that litter Arthurian legend. Perhaps a sort of romance or chanson d'aventure where the protaganist ends up at the abbey? Or something going into more detail about the abbey itself (what are its rules? what does it look like?). | letter | |
| Quillori | Chinese Mythology | Cháng'é (Chinese Mythology) | I'd really like something dealing with Chang E's rise to the moon, or on her life there: the loss of mortality, immortality gazing down on a beautiful but transient world, the loneliness of the cold, white moon. | letter |
| Quillori | Liáo zhâi zhì yì | Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio - Pú Sônglíng | I'm interested to see whatever you choose to make of this. Retell one of Pu Songling's stories or tell one of your own. Play around with language and allusions or concentrate on plot or on character. You could do something with the ever present fox spirits - they're viewed in such a range of ways, from meriting death through to the ambivalance of Cut Sleeve to Lotus Fragrance's role as admirable heroine. Or you could do something with the relation of dreams to reality, or the extent to which stories are a type of dream. You could look at Shican and Huang's relationship in Cut Sleeve - there's a lot of emotional ground at the end of that story the remains unexamined. Make your language as densely allusive or as simple as you please, your tone as light or as dramatic as you want. Gen, slash, het; light-hearted, bitingly satirical, restrained or sly or melancholy ... anything that strikes your fancy. | letter | |
| Quillori | Northwest Smith - C. L. Moore | Yarol the Venusian | I would love anything at all about Yarol, whether something plotty, or a more introspective character piece, or backstory. As well, or even alternatively, I'd love anything that shares my fascination with exploring the world C.L. Moore created. (Lengthy burbling about both Yarol and the wider world of the stories in my letter.) | letter |
| Quillori | Sumerian Mythology | Dumuzi (Sumerian Mythology) | There are so many types of stories you can write about Dumuzi, from horror to drama to eroticism to philosophical reflection, and I would be happy with any of them! You could write about Dumuzi's relationship with his sister Ngeštin-ana, or with Inana (so much ground there - their courtship, the period when everything is going well for him, the end when Inana lets him be taken in her place - what does she really feel about him, and he about her?), then there is his dream, and the terrible way it comes to pass, or his views on kingship or on the relationship between gods and men. Alternatively - and I know this is a long shot, but I thought I'd mention it - if you felt like using some of the forms of surviving literature, I would really love it - something all dialogue, a debate, a lament, a šir-gida ... (obviously the rules, such as they may have been, for the various forms are now a matter of conjecture and interpretation, but I would be very happy to see your conjecture and interpretation), but whether you want to go with a long, plot-driven story, or a character piece, or an atmospheric vignette, or whether I can persuade you to write me a lament or a šir-gida, I'm sure I shall be delighted. | letter |
| Quillori | Walls of Emerald - Li Shang-Yin | I love the imagery of this poem: densely, richly allusive, obscure and yet somehow coherent despite the uncertainty of the meaning; what I want is something inspired by that imagery, and by the mood the poem conjures up. If you want plot suggestions, you could take any of the stories to which there's a recognizable allusion in the poem, or any interpretation of the poem you prefer (I'm not particularly asking for Li Shang-yin RPF here, although of course if that's what you'd like to write, go ahead); you could set your story then, or now, or in the world of myth and folk tale (or in any other setting that particularly appeals to you); if you think you can do a thousand words held together only by image and allusion, with no plot, that too would be excellent: basically, anything at all structured around the imagery would be amazing. | letter | |

| radialarch | Orphan Black (TV) | Cosima Niehaus, Sarah Manning, Delphine Cormier | I love Orphan Black for exploring the nature vs. nurture question, and for having so many characters who have varied (conflicting!) motivations while still being sympathetic. I have a particular fondness for the Cosima/Delphine pairing (smart women doing science together!) and the Sarah-Felix sibling relationship, so seeing those dynamics in the fic would be a plus. In general plot would be preferred over porn, and some science-y bits would be great! If you'd like more details, I've provided a DYW letter. Thanks! | letter |
| radialarch | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Keladry of Mindelan, Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak | Things I love about Kel: her stubbornness and loyalty and courage; her penchant for gathering strays; and overall just being very excellent at what she does. I also love the entire Tortall universe, because — Immortals! Magic! Basically I'd just like to see Kel setting out to do something and then accomplishing it spectacularly. If you'd like more details, I've provided a DYW letter. Thanks! | letter |
| radialarch | Social Network (2010) RPF | Jesse Eisenberg (Social Network RPF), Andrew Garfield (Social Network RPF) | o apparently shy-nervous-awkward/confident-warm-nice is an irresistible pairing for me. I'd love any type of fic about Jesse & Andrew's relationship, whether it's total fluff or pining; or, if you're feeling more grounded in reality, I'd also be interested to see how Emma Stone's relationship with Andrew affects the Jesse-Andrew dynamic. Seriously, though, pretty much anything goes! If you'd like more details, I've provided a DYW letter. Thanks! | letter |

I love the atmosphere of ASiE, and am really drawn to the idea of rebellion against the Old Ones. In general, because H/W is very dear to my heart, it'd be great to see how those two interact in this universe. If you'd like more details, I've provided a DYW letter. Thanks! | letter |

| radondoran | Lucky Starr - Isaac Asimov | John Bigman Jones | I'd like to see a story with Bigman as the hero--whether he's dramatically saving the day, or just doing something he's good at. Show me Bigman teaching Lucky something for a change, like he does in David Starr, Space Ranger. Or show me a way in which Bigman is important to his and Lucky's partnership. Or, if you like, it'd also be interesting to find out more about life in Wingrad City and on the Martian farms before Lucky came into the picture. Anything focusing on Bigman would be great. | letter |
| radondoran | Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) | Hermey (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer), Yukon Cornelius (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) | I ship it, and I'd like to see some Hermey/Yukon slashfic. But I also like the characters and their interactions in canon, and I'd enjoy just seeing more of them together. They apparently spent months traveling together looking for Rudolph--what kind of adventures did they have? It'd be way cool to see something focusing in on dentistry and/or prospecting, if that interests you. A lighthearted fic would be fun in this fandom--or an incongruously earnest one could be neat too. Anything with Hermey and Yukon Cornelius would be great. | letter |
| radondoran | Gravity Falls | Stan Pines | I'd love to find out more about Grunkle Stan. I'm curious about the Pines family relationships: Stan's dynamics with his brother and nephew, Mabel and Dipper's grandfather and father. What made Stan the choice of relative to ship the kids off to? It'd also be really cool to see something about Stan's backstory: a story about one of his many wacky/illegal adventures, or something about when and why he ended up living in Gravity Falls. Or, what about the Mystery Shack? It'd be fun to read more about the mundane business aspects of how Stan operates his little tourist trap, and/or how his shysterism interplays with the truly paranormal. Anything about Grunkle Stan would be great. | letter |
| radondoran | Robot Series - Isaac Asimov | Susan Calvin, Peter Bogert | Remember that bit in "Little Lost Robot" where Susan Calvin and Peter Bogert have an intimate conversation in Bogert's room in the wee hours of the morning, and then the narrator goes out of his way to point out that they have totally dismissed each other as romantic possibilities? I always fixate on those lines, because to me they suggest that over the years Calvin and Bogert might have at least given some passing thought to possibly considering thinking of each other romantically. So I'd be interested in a fic that explores that. But really I'd love anything that explores Calvin and Bogert's working relationship, their conflicts, the grudging respect they must sometimes have for each other. I'd love to read a fic where their disparate approaches to robotics clash--or, on the other hand, what about a fic where they save the day with their combined powers of psychology and mathematics? Anything with Calvin and Bogert would be great. | letter |
| raedbard | West Wing RPF | Rob Lowe (West Wing RPF), Richard Schiff (West Wing RPF), Bradley Whitford (West Wing RPF) | Oh, these boys. I'd like a story about the three of them and their relationship, with maybe a surprise or two. Lock them in a room together; send them on a road trip (my absolute favourite way to force revelations about the relationships of RPF characters!); send two of them to watch the third in a play, only none of them know the other two are there; tell me about them when they're young men; go bizarre and AU — put them in a different show! make Schiff the director! cheat Rob out of his teen idol background! but keep Brad more or less as he is. :) I ship all three of them in any combination, or just as friends and colleagues and people who have other lives we know nothing of. | letter |
| raedbard | Dark Tower - Stephen King | The Crimson King (Dark Tower - Stephen King), Stephen King (Dark Tower - Stephen King) | This is essentially a world-building, or world-expanding, request, through the person of the Crimson King. I want to know more about Mid-World and how it works, or doesn't. I'd like stories about how the cities we know nothing about fell, how End World changed as the Crimson King moved through it, and about ol' Red Daddy himself. I love baddies, and I'd love some kind of origin story for the King. Alternatively, I'd love another metafictive glimpse into the Stephen King of the novel. Times when he felt threatened by the Crimson King, times he no longer consciously remembers when Gan stepped in to save him. And I would fucking adore any attempt to work in King's other novels, particularly IT, Insomnia, and, weirdly enough, Pet Sematary. Obviously these two characters interact hugely in the universe of the novels, but never onscreen, as it were, so if you had an idea that put them up against each other directly, that would pretty much make my life. | letter |
| raedbard | The Cabin in the Woods (2011) | The Director (Cabin in the Woods) | I want more of the Director. I have ever since the end credits of the movie rolled. Sigourney Weaver = epic. I have my own headcanons (that she was a final girl who kicked the shit out of a werewolf and now buries her PTSD under staggering efficiency and ruthlessness) but you may have other ideas. I just find the character fascinating. I also can't help cross-pollinating my thoughts on her with how I feel about Weaver's character in the Alien franchise (also a final girl, after all, well, sort of) — so if you have ideas on how to run with that a little, I would be thrilled. My fascination in wider movie terms is with the 'upper' world of the movie, how the weekends work, who made the rules in the first place, how everyone got their jobs, the kind of meetings they must go to. For instance, does the Director go to international meetings with all the other heads of facilities? What are they like? I'd love to know. | letter |
| raedbard | Video Blogging & Youtube RPF | John Green (Video Blogging), Hank Green (Video Blogging) | I essentially just want the Amazing Adventures of Hank and John Green. An epic saga, a road trip, a zombie apocalypse, a real life version of Minecraft where they wake up on an island with nothing but a pair of video cameras and their fists and have to survive against the odds, doing Question Tuesdays with the zombies, I don't know, just ADVENTURES. | letter |
| raedbard | Alien (1979) | Ellen Ripley (Alien) | Moar Ripley. How the hell did she end up on the Nostromo in the first place, did she have loftier ambitions that were never realised, or was Nostromo just a gig for the time being? How does she feel about the rest of the crew? (I find Ash, Parker and Kane particularly interesting but you may have other preferences.) Does she dream in hypersleep and what life might she dream of if she does? What about her daughter, back on Earth? What is the world she came from like? (Stories of the evil of Weyland-Yutani are catnip.) Presumably she's been on other missions before, so what were they like? Or go totally AU — different ship, different crew, ... different alien? (Some of these questions are answered on the wiki but since I only discovered that about an hour ago, I won't mind if you disregard it.) I'd just like to know more about her. Obviously this nomination is for the first movie, but any of the others are also favourites and stories involving them and their plots would be wonderful. (I like second movie the least, and I really love the third, but I'm weird, I know.) | letter |
| aisintorte | Hawkeye (Comics) | Lucky (Hawkeye), Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) | Kate and Lucky! I love Kate. I love Lucky! I would love anything with them together. Kate and Lucky take a road trip and wacky hijinks ensue or Kate and Lucky go to the dog park and get attacked by ninjas. Or Kate goes out on the town and brings Lucky as her wingman. Please feel free to include anyone else from the Hawkeye 'verse that you need to make the story work. Note: please nothing where Lucky is hurt or really in much danger. I frequently check "Does the Dog Die" as soon as an animal is put in peril in a show or movie. I had to read the end of the first issue because I had to know before I could finish it. |
letter |
| aisintorte | Parks and Recreation | Leslie Knope, April Ludgate, Ron Swanson, Andy Dwyer | I love this show for its silly goofy wackiness. I love the ensemble and and the town and its silly traditions. I requested my four favorite characters, but I love everyone, so feel free to include anyone from the 'verse that you need to make the story work. I picked these four because I think they have some of the best interpersonal interactions on the show. In terms of a specific request, I would love a fic just set in the shows the them dealing with day to day life in Pawnee. Pawnee and its quirks just really make the show and the people who inhabit it's universe. If you could include something about the murals, that would be great. I *love* the murals. I also love the festivals and traditions and wacky TV personalities. Also, I could read an entire fic that is Ron Swanson giving advice to people on the phone. Cause he is awesome. Or April being awesome and caring but pretending not to or Leslie planning and buying the perfect things for everyone, or Andy, being, Andy. Or something with April/Leslie v. Ron/Andy or Leslie/Andy v. Ron/Leslie. It's always fun when they pair off and go run around town. It doesn't even have to be a competition. |
letter |
| aisintorte | Gavin & Stacey | Stacey Shipman, Gavin Shipman | I would love a fic about the first time Gavin and Stacey met on the phone and how their relationship went from being people who talked at work to being the couple who met in the pilot. Something that fills in their background. Or Gavin and Stacey each telling their friends and family about this person they met on the phone and trying to explain how they just know it's right. Or if you want to write something from during the show, how about a story set between when they got married and when they moved to Wales. I loved them living in Pam and Mick's house and just dealing with being married and still living at home. Or something after the show - either during the pregnancy or after the baby is born - dealing with each other, their families, and a new baby! I love everyone in the G&S world - Pam & Mitch, Dawn & Pete, Nessa, Smithy, the Essex Boys, Dave, Baby Neil, Brynn, Gwen, etc. so feel free to use anyone you need if it works with where your muse takes you. Please nothing rated higher than R. |
letter |
| aisintorte | The Americans (TV 2013) | Philip Jennings, Elizabeth Jennings | Anything Phillip and Elizabeth - Gen or shippy. The dynamic of the arranged marriage and how it evolved over the years from awkwardness to a true partnership to love. I would love something from their early relationship, just when they got to America, before Gregory as they were getting used to a new country, a new relationship, and a new life. I think no matter how prepared they were for America, the reality of it was probably still rather jarring for them. From having the air conditioning in the motel room, to other "comforts" or firsts for them - something that explores them exploring their new normal. Things that make them think Americans are "soft" or "complacent." It could be some funny, silly, moment where something happens that neither of them have ever experienced before or something more serious. Or something around the time the kids are born or when they find out they are pregnant for the first time. Please do not include Gregory - I love the idea of Elizabeth and him, but I would like something that really explores Phillip and Elizabeth. If you would like to write something later from their lives, anything with the kids, or Claudia - a moment from an event with the kids at school or a meeting with Claudia would be lovely. Please nothing violent or explicitly sexual. |
letter |
| aisintorte | Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 | James Van Der Beek (Apartment 23), Chloe (Apartment 23) | I loved this show so much. I love how James Van Der Beek acted on the show - he and Chloe totally made the show for me. I loved his stint on Dancing with the Stars and a fic that would explore him thinking about doing a different reality show would be great. Or something from the time Chloe and James dated or some ridiculous product James decided to hawk or James having to help clean up some mess from one of Chloe's one night stands. Really, anything with the two of them just hanging out or being their crazy selves would be fantastic. I love everyone else in the show's universe, so feel free to include whoever you need to make the story work. Please nothing rated higher than R. |
letter |
| randomizer | The Good Wife (TV) | Alicia Florrick, Kalinda Sharma | I feel a bit like an idiot requesting this one this year, even though Alicia and Kalinda are still hands down my favorite shipper pairing. The two of them haven't had a scene together in a year and a half, so it's pretty obvious that the powers that be are moving in a different direction. Still, I persevere. Show them to me! Show me why Alicia should care about Kalinda, and why Kalinda didn't waste two and a half years pining after Alicia. I want it all! | letter |
| randomizer | The Americans (TV 2013) | Elizabeth Jennings Philip Jennings | I would love to read a fic exploring Elizabeth and Philip's marriage and complex relationship. Do they love each other? Can they love each other? How has their relationship changed over time? Discuss! | letter |
| randomizer | The Killing | Sarah Linden, Stephen Holder | I just love Linden and Holder—they've turned The Killing into one of my very favorite shows on television right now, and they're the reason why I'm bitter that it's been cancelled. I don't see them as a romantic pair at all, and I'm not really interested in reading that in a fic. Rather, I think they're both very complicated, broken people who really get each other on a visceral level: they're friends, they're partners, and they help each other navigate the world in ways that nobody else can. I want to see more of that. | letter |
| randomizer | Bridge to Terabithia - Katherine Paterson | Jesse Oliver Aarons, Leslie Burke | Talk about middle school angst! This book is just about the saddest thing that I've ever read, and it's something that I come back to again and again as an adult. What I love about it most is just how complex and real Jesse and Leslie seemed. I'd like to read a fic about what happens to Jesse when he grows up after losing Leslie. Does he go to college? Does he make a go of it as an artist? Or does he stay pretty much trapped in his circumstances? I'm more interested in a flash forward fic than in anything else, but optional details are optional: if you can give me a fic showing why their friendship was special and transformative, that would be completely wonderful. | letter |
| randomling | Seraphina - Rachel Hartman | Seraphina Dombegh, Princess Glisselda, Lucian Kiggs | I'd love to see more interaction between any combination of these characters, maybe with a bit of worldbuilding on the side. It's such fascinating world! | letter |
| randomling | The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (1994) | Anthony "Tick" Belrose, Adam Whitely | I would like to see what happens to these characters in the future - maybe immediately after the end of the movie, maybe in ten or twenty years' time. (What are Tick and Adam doing now? That would be cool to read about.) | letter |
| randomling | Eureka | Jack Carter, Zoe Carter | I'm sucker for father-daughter stuff in this universe. I would really love to see some family interaction as Zoe gets older. Preferably with some canon-typical insanity on the side! | letter |
| randomling | Haven | Audrey Parker, Nathan Wuornos, Duke Crocker | I love these three so much! I love the OT3, or really any ship combination that these three could produce. Friendship action is also awesome, if shipping is not your cup of tea. Would be awesome to see a Troubles-related case happening at the same time! | letter |
| randomling | Orphan Black (TV) | Sarah Manning, Felix Dawkins | I'd love some awesome brother/sister fic going on here (no incest, please). | letter |
| randomling | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Jennifer Mills | I would love to see more of the complicated relationship between Abbie and Jenny. I'm really open to just about anything that fits within that scope - future fic, past fic, a missing scene or episode tag from the current show. | letter |
| random_chick | Under The Dome (TV) | Junior Rennie, Angie McAlister | I would LOVE to see something with them, say, five years down the road. How have they developed during what nobody ever thought would last that long? | letter |
| random_chick | Secret Circle - L. J. Smith | Deborah Armstrong, Cassie Blake, Scarlett Palmer | I'd love to see something with Cassie and Deborah in a relationship. If you're not comfortable writing femslash, then something with them just bonding in general would be awesome too. Or you could write me something with Scarlett. What was her life like pre-canon? Develop her more past the villain we've seen. Or even an AU where she comes to town to PROTECT Cassie instead of to kill her. If you can't do any of that, then just general Coven stuffs with the characters nominated -- or any of the others, 'cause I love all the characters in the fandom -- is awesome, too. |
letter |
| random_chick | Parasite Eve | Aya Brea, Eve (Parasite Eve) | What is Aya's life like over a decade after Parasite Eve II? Is she married? Does she have children? Is she still working in the same job? If that doesn't strike your fancy, then something with Eve's life this far after the game. What's her life like? She'd be out of college and on her own by now, so show me that. |
letter |
| random_chick | Jurassic Park (Movies) | Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler | What happened between the first movie and the third to end in the two of them no longer together? Or else an AU where they're still together. |
letter |
| random_chick | Colters' Legacy - Maya Banks | Ryan Colter | Ryan's my favorite brother, so I'd like anything at all about him. Especially his past. Whether exploring the big events or just the little moments, it's all good. | letter |
| random_chick | Lost Girl | Tamsin (Lost Girl), Dyson (Lost Girl) | Give me Tamsin backstory. Give me Dyson backstory. Give me Tamsin/Dyson fic. Or give me something I haven't even thought of! | letter |
| aspberryHeaven | Malory Towers - Enid Blyton | Wilhelmina "Bill" Robinson, Clarissa Carter | I can't get enough of this pairing. I love something post-canon with them running their riding stables, perhaps dealing with the problems and dangers of being a lesbian couple. If you'd prefer to write something set at school, I'd really enjoy something from "In the Fifth" when Bill is all occupied with the pantomime. Established couple, first time and BFF gen (maybe solving a horse related mystery?) all very welcome! | |
| aspberryHeaven | Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward | Clover (Virtue's Last Reward), Alice (Virtue's Last Reward) | I ship Clover/Alice like burning. But I'm also interested in them as characters. Really, absolutely anything you could give me about these two, f/f or gen, would be great. It's also a fandom I'm very interested in world building about--but please bear in mind that I played this first and haven't finished 999 yet. | |
| aspberryHeaven | Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion | Hero of Kvatch Amusei | Amusei is so adorable and useless. I'd love a story about him, interacting in his hapless or irrepressible way with the Hero of Kvatch. If humour isn't your thing, something dark about the oppression of Argonians would also be great. I play as female, but I'm equally happy with a male Hero. Romance is okay (although definitely not necessary) but please, whether m/f or f/f, no actual sex scenes! | |
| aspberryHeaven | Carmilla - J. Sheridan Le Fanu | Carmilla (Carmilla), Laura (Carmilla) | I love this novel so much, while simultaneously being disturbed by the lesbianism=evil thing going on. Something that plays with the mixture of longing, love and death in the book, in which Laura loves Carmilla but is simultaneously repelled because hey, this vampire is trying to kill her, would make me so happy. Resolve or or not resolve any any way you choose. | |
| aspberryHeaven | The Faraway Tree - Enid Blyton | This is the magic book of my childhood. I used to daydream about visiting the lands on top of the tree. Anything you could write that captures some of that feeling of wonder, good adventure or bad, would be marvellous. | ||
| raspberryhunter | The Tillerman Cycle - Cynthia Voigt | I would love to read about what Jeff was thinking during the events of Seventeen Against the Dealer, or something about Maybeth, or something about what James does later in college and/or career (always been curious about that), or something about what Mina does in college and/or career (ditto)... or anything, really, about any and all of the characters. (Since I think Dicey gets her fair share of POV time in the books, I do have a preference for non-Dicey POV (I don't mind her showing up as a character), but it would be just fine if that's what you want to write! I also have a preference for non-Homecoming fic, but again, whatever you'd like!) | letter | |
| raspberryhunter | The People - Zenna Henderson | I adore Zenna Henderson's People stories and always have, and just want more! The thing I love most about it, I think, is the effervescent joy, the childlike wonder, that permeates each page. But also... the moving depictions of familial and mentoring relationships; the utter sense of belonging: to a people, to a community, to a family (and which also plays into the teacher-child relationships she depicts); the drive to make things whole; the lovely understated way she's constantly drawing from Biblical imagery and quotations and tropes for the themes and images of the stories. I would really be happy with anything, but if you want specific potential prompts, I put a couple in my letter. | letter | |
| raspberryhunter | The Instrumentality of Mankind - Cordwainer Smith | I love so much about these stories and would just love to get ANYTHING in this fandom. I absolutely adore the far-flung, totally-imaginative, across-the-stars-and-time, so-over-the-top-it-comes-back-around mythology that gathers up humans and underpeople and robots and I-don't-even-know-what in its nets; I love the way these stories evoke this amazing sense of a destiny for all of us that reaches across space and time; I love the way he examines questions of happiness and free will and equality; I love the way his prose is almost more poetry than it is prose. Anything that can speak to some of that, even the tiniest part of it, would be SO AWESOME. If you want specific prompts, there are some in my letter. | letter | |
| raspberryhunter | Mabinogion (Myth) | Arianrhod | I have always found Arianrhod incredibly fascinating and wondered what was going on with her. Did Gwydion know that she was not going to pass Math's test? Why didn't she protest or say anything about it, instead waiting until Math's test? (Surely, given the power and the implacability we see from her, she could have at least manufactured an excuse for not wanting to be subject to the test?) Why did she hate Lleu Llaw Gyffes so much, instead of Gwydion or Math? (It makes me sad that she hated him, even if it's understandable, and I would totally be up with a fic that gave her a more nuanced view towards him, or had a way of understanding the events of the Fourth Branch that didn't require her to utterly hate him.) What happened to Dylan, and did Arianrhod and he ever meet again? What happened to Arianrhod in the end? I just want her to have power and agency and understandable motivations. Political webs between her and Gwydion and Math and Lleu (and Goewin? and Cigfa? And...?) would be awesome as well. | letter |
| ravelqueen | Codex Alera - Jim Butcher | I would love either something set after the books (maybe with a focus on how Tavi is doing as a First Lord) or something in between "Captain's Fury" and "Princeps Fury" set in the First Aleran's camp or something set while Tavi is attending the Academy (my favourite characters are Tavi and Kitai fyi, but I do also love outsider pov on anything happening so let your mind be free!) |

| aven (singlecrow) | True Meaning of Smekday - Adam Rex | Gratuity "Tip" Tucci, J.Lo the Boov | Oh, gosh, anything you like in this universe would be so awesome. I'd love to know what happened to Tip and J.Lo after the book - I mean, it seems they were friends almost a hundred years afterwards! Did J.Lo go to college with Tip? Was he in the front row of her wedding, making loud sobbing noises? Did he ever do something cool himself? Become a proper chief maintenance engineer? Basically: anything. I'd love to see whatever you did with them. | letter |
| aven (singlecrow) | MASH (TV) | Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce (Mash TV), Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan (Mash TV) | I've made this request before, but here goes again. These two have my favourite friendship in fiction, they really do. I adore how, canonically, their shared experiences change them from being the worst of enemies to, never the best of friends but to friends with this unique, snippy, loving, sometimes sexual friendship. I would love anything about this: all the times they were there for each other (especially given Margaret's disastrous love life), all the times they were entirely unsentimental but just what the other needed. | letter |
| aven (singlecrow) | Parks and Recreation | Leslie Knope, Ann Perkins, April Ludgate, Ben Wyatt | Ladies of Parks and Recreation! ...and Ben. | letter |
| aven (singlecrow) | Amstel Lager "The Chef" commercial | The Older Chef (Amstel Lager), The Dishwasher (Amstel Lager) | Oh, wow, if you have drawn this as your assignment - wow, I love you already. I'm not sure what I can add here, except - anything? Anything about these two characters and the journey they make. | letter |
| raybobbie | Revenge (TV) | Emily Thorne, Aiden Mathis (Revenge), Nolan Ross | I would love anything set post Emily getting her revenge. Favorite pairings are Emily/Aiden, Emily/Nolan, and Emily/Aiden/Nolan. | letter |
| raybobbie | Beauty and the Beast (TV 2012) | Catherine Chandler (Beauty and the Beast (TV 2012)), Vincent Keller | I love Catherine/Vincent and would love to see how things would be if Vincent didn't have to hide. If they could have a public relationship and how Catherine manages that. Would love to see Vincent going back to being a doctor. Also, Catherine intergrating him into her life, introducing him (and JT) to her sister, visting each other at work. I also would love anything about his more beastly nature when it comes to a relationship, if he finds himself being more possessive, animal like behaviors, how they explore this side of him together. |
letter |
| raybobbie | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Slade Wilson (Arrow TV), Shado (Arrow TV) | Would love anything post the island that sees one or both of them coming back into Oliver's life in Starling City. Ships wise I love Oliver/Slade and Oliver/Slade/Shado but would not be against Oliver/Shado as well. It would be great to see them interacting with Team Arrow and meeting Oliver's friends and family, if they help him with his vigilante missions and/or start building a life of their own. |
letter |
| raybobbie | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | John Connor (Sarah Connor Chronicles), Derek Reese | Anything focused on the relationship between John and Derek. From Derek figuring out that John is Kyle's son to how he feels about that and even what would have happened if he hadn't died/John hadn't gone into the future. Even John in the future and how he adjusts and Derek and Kyle figuring out who he is to them. I would love to see any family bonding. I am also open to John/Derek incest if an author wants to write that, either a future where it doesn't matter that much or where its still taboo but there is a connection between them they can't ignore. I wouldn't mind John/Derek/Cameron either, all of them fighting/working/surviving together. |

| reapingfolk | Elementary (TV) | Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Joan Watson (Elementary) | High School Au, please! It would be Sherlock/Watson or Sherlock&Watson, epic friendship fic. | |
| reapingfolk | Beauty and the Beast (1991) | Belle (Beauty and the Beast (1991)), Prince Adam (Beauty and the Beast 1991) | It would be nice to get a role-reversal fic, where Belle is somewhere cursed as the beast and Prince Adam gets caught in the castle. | |
| reapingfolk | Brave (2012) | Elinor (Brave), Fergus (Brave) | It would be cool to see the courtship of a young Fergus and Elinor. | |
| cca | Snipes (Video Game) | Grim, dark, humourous, philosophical; be it horror, SciFi, crack or whatever else you can think of, I'm excited to see your ideas! Who are the Snipes? Where do they come from, what do they want? Do they have a plan or a leader? Or maybe there was a leader once, and now they're just carrying on without any purpose behind their actions? ~*~ What is the maze? Is there a world outside of it or not, are there legends of what's oudside, or can you just go outside? Is the maze maybe what remains after some apocalypse-like incident? ~*~ Who's the player character? Human, alien, robot, something else? If they're a robot, do they know what they are, or do they think themselves human? What's their goal? Just survival, or are they set on revenge, or do they work for the greater good, or are they trying to find their way outside? ~*~ The player character could be the only one/last one of their kind (single player), or there could be more like them (multi-player). In the latter case, are they working against each other, or alongside each other? Or maybe some Tron-like thing where the maze represents the inside of a computer in some way? Maybe the developers face some problems with their network and have to go inside the computer to solve them? The Snipes could be the bugs or something. ~*~ Or something along the lines of Wreck-It Ralph, were the Snipes and the player character(s) are aware that they're inside a computer game? Maybe they've got lives outside the game (but still inside the computer)? What are they up to? World dominition? (Fits with the "The SNIPES have triumphed!!!" message you get when you lose a game...) |
letter | |
| cca | Rubyquest | What's actually behind the cure/curse? Something Cthulu-like? The artefacts seem to point to something supernatural. Did the researchers know in advance and did they build the facility on purpose on that spot, or did they find out later on? ~*~ Red's POV about how he found out about the cure and its side-effects? ~*~ Something about the whole people-keep-dying-and-getting-revived-and-so-things-repeat-themselves thing that's going on? Maybe something from an earlier version of Ruby's and Tom's escape that went similar, or completely different from what we've seen? Or Bella's POV, since she's the only one not affected? ~*~ Given the group photo, maybe something from the happy early days with foreshadowing of what's to come? ~*~ Something about Red's final suicide, how he came up with it etc? Since he commited suicide at least once before, he too must have suffered from memory loss and re-learned everything. Did he leave notes for himself? ~*~ Why exactly was subject #6 moved to Lab B? ~*~ It seems people only get revived when they're placed in the lockers; who keeps placing people in lockers? Ace? Why? ~*~ Ruby seems to have agreed to take part in the research programme, but all we ever get for proof is a contract. Is it legit or was she forced somehow? How much did Ruby (or any of the other patients, really, or even the staff) know about what she was letting herself into? ~*~ Something that involves "the players," meta discussion, ...? | letter | |
| cca | Neues aus Büttenwarder | Kurt Brakelmann, Arthur "Adsche" Tönnsen | hippy fic, friendship fic, some silly Büttenwarder antics, all is fine with me! I love Brakelmann's chicken and how they turn up in every shot at Brakelmann's place, so maybe Brakelmann's latest plan to make money involves the chicken? Weird ideas to make them lay more eggs, or training them to take part in an animal show? ~*~ Maybe one of them being a bit worried about the other? Nothing dramatic, maybe a simple cold, or a fight that went a bit out of hand—just something that shows that they do care for each other, even if their first concern is usually money and their rivalry. (I really love how in "Auf gro√üer Fahrt" Adsche is concerned about Brakelmann and in the end helping him out with his boat.) ~*~ Something about Adsche's and Brakelmann's childhood? Maybe their friendship started when they were both ignored or nettled by other children? Or have they always been friends? ~*~ Some big childhood adventure like camping or building a tree-house? ~*~ Teenaged Brakelmann and Adsche getting physical? Either a strictly platonic thing that happens between boys like a brawl, play-wrestling, tickle-fights, snowball fights etc, or something that unexpectantly develops into more from there? ~*~ Something to do with the Christmas episode ("Weihnachten")? I just love how Adsche und Brakelmann so naturally fall into the role of a couple; and what about Adsche being so attached to his pretend pregnancy? There must be a (friend-)shippy plot in there somewhere, especially given the last scene... ~*~ Awkward experimenting as teenagers? If tied in with the present, either something they never again talked about (which might or might not suddenly come up again in the present) or something AU-ish in which they've been in some sort of relationship ever since? ~*~ Onkel Krischan, bless his confused soul, as (accidental) matchmaker/enabler? Maybe he is mistaking something he's seen on TV for the truth and now is convinced that Adsche and Brakelmann are a couple? Please no (m)preg, death of canon characters, non-con involving canon characters, or overly kinky sex. |

| cca | Tatort | Karl-Friedrich Boerne, Frank Thiel | hippy fic, friendship fic, casefic or action, all is fine with me! I love the laundry scene with Thiel and Boerne in "Fakten, Fakten, Fakten", it's the mix between unexpected bonding, their working out a solution to a case together in an unusual situation, and the Klemm being amused when she learns about it and acknowledging they're a good team. Maybe something else along these lines? ~*~ I know I didn't request Herbert, but ever since I watched "Spargelzeit" I've been curious how he and Boerne got on with each other when they ate asparagus together. If possible, they're even more different than Thiel and Boerne. The only thing they do have in common, other than their love for asparagus, is Thiel, and I wonder if Herbert maybe told Boerne a lot about Thiel that Thiel wouldn't easily reveal himself (embarrassing childhood stories?) or if Boerne even pried a bit himself, curious as he is. And for a shippy direction, maybe Herbert realises that there's more between his son and Boerne than friendship, whether they already are in an established relationship or haven't realised their feelings themselves yet? ~*~ With all the slashyness, I'm surprised the show never went for a "Mistaken for being in a relationship" quip yet, but I'd love to get that from a complete outsider, and Thiel's and Boerne's reaction to it (and maybe the rest of the team's reaction as well); be it with ensuing shippy plot or staying completely platonic. ~*~ A moment where they're happy and relaxed together, maybe even drunk and silly? Cooking together maybe? Romantic or platonic, wherever you want to take this. ~*~ A heated quarrel that suddenly turns into something sexual? ~*~ I'll never ever get tired of the "Undercover as a couple" trope, and this show seems like the perfect fandom for it... ~*~ In "Summ, Summ, Summ," I half expected Thiel and Boerne to end up in the honeymoon suite together, and I'd still love to see that happen! Please no (m)preg, death of canon characters, non-con involving canon characters, or overly kinky sex. |

| cessiveJean | Gravity Falls | Dipper Pines, Mabel Pines | I just want Dipper and Mabel galloping around being themselves. Mabel may freely reference how adorable they are, and I will agree with her. Past fic, future fic, casefic, whatever, I will read it with glee. I love their dynamic. I love how at the end of every episode, he's for her and she's for him and although there's plenty of needling and bickering in between, when push comes to shove, they've always got each other's back. Whatever you want to explore with these two would be welcome, so if you already have something in mind, please run with it! If you're looking for any ideas, I hope the ones at my journal are helpful. |
letter |
| cessiveJean | Sarah Jane Adventures | Sarah Jane Smith (SJA), Luke Smith, Sky Smith | I've got a mad love for found families, and Sarah Jane's is one of my favourite. Both her "actual" found kids, and also the others she takes in over the course of the series. I love the mama bear trope, I think she's a really unique take on it, and I want to see your take on her too. | letter |
| cessiveJean | Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers | Peter Wimsey, Mary Wimsey, The Dowager Duchess | I love Peter Wimsey and I got a brilliant gift for this fandom a couple years ago, so I thought I'd be greedy and try again. I have such a weakness for clever period pieces, and Sayers does the thing to a turn. We can always use more Peter Wimsey fic. | letter |
| cessiveJean | Vesper Holly Adventures - Lloyd Alexander | Vesper Holly, Brinton "Brinnie" Garrett, Benjamin Rittenhouse Holly | What's not to love about Vesper? She's so over the top, so very much larger than life in every respect. She is a force of nature, and I think she'd have been a shocking addition to any century, so the mid-nineteenth is as good as any. | letter |
| cessiveJean | Archer's Goon - Diana Wynne Jones | Howard Sykes (Archer's Goon), Awful Sykes | What a fun pair of families! I have the softest spot for Howard and Awful, so I requested them in particular, but any of the cast you were hoping to include would be a welcome addition as well. But mostly I love how Awful--well--is and how Howard, in spite of everything, manages to get on with her anyway, in a sort of weird and charmingly horrible fashion. If you want to include their parents and/or any of Howard's other family, so much the better. | letter |
| cessiveJean | On the Run - Gordon Korman | Emmanuel Harris, Margaret "Meg" Falconer, Frank Lindenauer, Aiden Falconer | I only just discovered these books. They are a bit ridiculous, but they are the kind of ridiculous I enjoy. I love the family element most, how Aiden and Meg are ready to do whatever it takes to reunite theirs, but I also appreciated Agent Harris's progressive guilt over the idea that perhaps he made a mistake in their parents' case. The kids' mistrust of him was understandable, but he was wonderfully sympathetic all the same. I've requested all four nominated characters for this series but feel free to mix and match as you feel appropriate; I'd love to see nearly anything you do with these characters, short of outright shipfic. | letter |
| recrudescence | Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate | Tobias (Animorphs), Marco (Animorphs), Jake Berenson, Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill | I would love a look at how the relationships build between these guys. Marco and Jake have known each other forever; how do they manage to make their friendship weather such intense changes? What's a typical day like for everyone when they aren't fighting brain-stealing slugs? Do they hang out at Ax's scoop and roast marshmallows? By all means, bring in Rachel and Cassie if you're so inclined! | letter |
| recrudescence | Bomb Girls | Betty McRae, Kate Andrews, Vera Burr, Gladys Witham | I want a happy ending for Betty and Kate. That's it, that's the prompt. Feel free to handwave the finale all you like, or have Gladys pull some strings to keep Betty out of prison, or just give me all the ladies having hijinks and being there for each other. | letter |
| recrudescence | Ghostwriter | Rob Baker, Alejandro Fernández, Lenni Frazier, Gabriella Fernández | This was my favorite show as a kid, hands down. In hindsight, I think I had a crush on Tina, but I also liked Rob a lot since he was kind of broody and wrote poetry. So, let's get some love for the boy who believes in Superpens! | letter |
| recrudescence | Spartacus Series (TV) | Nasir (Spartacus), Agron (Spartacus), Seppia (Spartacus), Saxa (Spartacus) | o many possibilities here. What if Seppia actually succeeded at killing Glaber? What was Saxa's life like before she was enslaved? How do Agron and Nasir fare at starting a goat farm? How does Nasir feel about what Chadara did? | letter |
| recrudescence | Maurice - E. M. Forster | Maurice Hall, Alec Scudder, Kitty Hall, Clive Durham | I adore the epilogue and the hints it gives about Maurice and Alec's future. I would love to see some kind of reconciliation with Kitty--or even how they reconcile with one another seeing as they come from such different backgrounds. | letter |
| recrudescence | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf RPF), Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf RPF), Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf RPF), Linden Ashby (Teen Wolf RPF) | Just give me anything involving the wacky adventurous life of Posey and Dylan living together. Or Hoechlin's secret stash of Dylan-inspired sonnets (because dude has the most enormous crush and doesn't seem to realize how obvious it is). Or give me an AU where they all run a pet store. Anything happy and sweet is golden, basically. | letter |
| redbrickrose | She-Ra: Princess Of Power | She-Ra | Princess Adora | I like all of the other characters so feel free to include any other characters you want, but Adora is the only requirement. Honestly, any fic focused on her is going to make me happy. I'm particularly interested in anything that deals with her secret identity and the ramifications of having to keep that secret (bonus points if it's revealed to someone or dealing with the fallout of the reveal). I would prefer that a pairing not be the central focus, but it doesn't have to be gen (though it's fine if it is!). I would love Adora femslash, but I'm open to pretty much any pairing (either involving Adora or in the background) except for incest. | letter |
| redbrickrose | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman | Include whoever else you want, but I just want a fic in which something good happens to Jesse. Really anything. Maybe his mom hugs him or someone else in his family hugs him. That would be nice. Maybe he eventually salvages his relationship with his brother somehow? Maybe Badger and Skinny Pete are supportive friends? Or maybe he even has some kind of moment of understanding/closure with Skyler or Marie or Walter Jr. (or Saul, when he runs into him in Omaha ten years later)? ANYTHING. I just want some moment of peace or grace for Jesse. | letter |
| redbrickrose | House of Cards (US TV) | Zoe Barnes (House of Cards), Janine Skorsky, Claire Underwood, Francis Underwood | This doesn't need to include all of these characters if you don't want it too - happy for it to focus on Claire and Francis and their relationship (which I find fascinating - more co-conspirators than lovers, but how did it happen?) OR Zoe and Janine and the development of their tentative truce (femslash and/or threesome with Lucas welcome, but not necessary). | letter |
| redbrickrose | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary) Marcus Bell | Again, not necessary to include all four characters! Any combination is good, though I prefer Joan and Sherlock's relationship to stay platonic. Here are some potential things that would be interesting to me: 1) Sherlock/Irene - ALWAYS. Either her coming back or an AU where he agrees to leave with her. I like them as worthy adversaries with real and complicated feelings for each other. 2) Sherlock/Bell - how does it happen? 3) Joan/Bell - how does it happen? 4) Joan & Sherlock gen - super interested in the idea of her being bisexual and bringing home a girlfriend and Sherlock being all "I did not deduce this!" but really any slice of life that highlights their friendship would be great. |
letter |
| redbrunja | The Dark Knight Legacy (Web Series) | John Blake (The Dark Knight Legacy), Stephanie Brown (The Dark Knight Legacy) | I cannot express how much I want to know how Stephanie Brown became known as a good cop in Gotham's corrupt police force. Why did John trust her rep? And/or, please give me Stephanie reluctantly (and maybe then not so reluctantly?) working with Blake. Also, I wouldn't say no to makeouts. |
letter |
| redbrunja | Batgirl (Comics) | Stephanie Brown (Batgirl), Nick Gage (Batgirl), Damian Wayne (Batgirl) | Yes, this is a Stephanie Brown-centric Yuletide request. First of all, my true otp for Stephanie is Stephanie Brown/fighting crime and getting respect. Here are some other dynamics that I am interested in reading about: -Stephanie and Nick romantically hooking up, especially in the context of Stephanie being in an adult, consensual relationship after her history of sexual abuse and sexual torture. One of the reasons that I really enjoy Nick and Stephanie's dynamic is that, like being Batgirl, romantically speaking Nick is a fresh start for Stephanie. Steph's Batgirl run is full of Steph succeeding and being treated with respect and I love it. -Stephanie/Damian. Either platonically, or (in the future) romantically. -Also, this is totally cheating, but if you want to write something where Jason Todd and Stephanie interact (romantically! platonically! either is great!) I would be over the moon. |
letter |
| redbrunja | Rose Under Fire - Elizabeth Wein | Jamie Beaufort-Stuart (Rose Under Fire), Maddie Brodatt (Rose Under Fire) | I desperately want to see more of Jamie and Maddie's romance. One of the things I loved about Rose Under Fire is that we got to see how much Jamie respects Maddie, that he didn't soften what he was seeing in France for her benefit. Also, I want Maddie flying after the war. As both she and Jamie are pilots, and Jamie owns a castle, I think they can swing a plane and an airstrip in the scottish highlands. | letter |
| redbrunja | Lizzie Bennet Diaries | Lizzie Bennet, William Darcy (LBD), Gigi Darcy, Caroline Lee | I just cannot read too many fics about Lizzie and Darcy smushing their faces together. Also, I kinda ship Gigi and Caroline. Or, if you're not interested in that, I'd love to see Gigi and Caroline being friends. Maybe a fic where Gigi really gets that Caroline loved Darcy and wants Caroline to be happy, so she's decides to be Caroline's wing-woman? |
letter |
| redbrunja | Kate Daniels - Ilona Andrews | Julie Olsen, Derek Gaunt | These two kids need to kiss. Or use their complementarily skills to solve some dangerous problem together. Or do both. | |
| redcandle17 | Animorphs - Katherine A. Applegate | Cassie (Animorphs), Rachel (Animorphs) | I'd really prefer gen fic with background canon pairings. No Cassie/Rachel romance/sex please. | letter |
| redcandle17 | Sweet Valley High - Francine Pascal | Jessica Wakefield, Elizabeth Wakefield | What are their lives like at age 30? No twincest please. | letter |
| redcandle17 | Beauty and the Beast (1991) | Gaston (Beauty and the Beast 1991) | Anything really. Be as serious or humorous as you'd like. | letter |
| redcandle17 | Keeping Up Appearances | Hyacinth Bucket, Richard Bucket | Take me back to the beginning. How, instead of running far away when they met, did Richard end up marrying Hyacinth? | letter |
| ddwarfer | Wild Adapter | Kubota Makoto, Tokito Minoru | Would love if there's some sort of thing in which Tokito rescues Kubota. Any characters from the universe are welcome but I only ship Kubotoki. | letter |
| ddwarfer | Red Dwarf | Kryten (Red Dwarf), Arnold Rimmer, Dave Lister, The Cat (Red Dwarf) | I'd love just about anything that fits in this world. Though, I'd prefer it to be gen. No romantic relationships. | letter |
| ddwarfer | Captain Marvel (Marvel) | Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) | Anything, really, anything in which Carol kicks ass and takes names. I'd really enjoy if there was a cast primarily of women. I didn't add any other characters in specific, because I wasn't attached to having anyone else in particular. I'd love just women in the story, if possible. | letter |
| ddwarfer | Lewis (TV) | James Hathaway, Robert Lewis (Lewis) | I would love, love any sort of domestic tale in which they go on holiday with each other. Alternately, an AU in which Robbie meets James during a case and falls in love. | letter |
| redhandsredribbons | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May | Preferably don't pair her with a white dude please. No need for pairings at all for me, actually, unless the inclination really strikes you. Otherwise I don't care. I just love her and want more fic exploration of her. | |
| redhandsredribbons | American Horror Story | Oliver Thredson, Lana Winters | Yeah, I know, I did the thing. So basically anything goes, it's inherently disturbing/triggering so you don't have to avoid that, just try to be at least semi-realistic and not too romanticizing. Also please don't suddenly make her straight. Random ideas that spring to mind: AU where he's not a serial killer and in fact actually gay and that explains his actions in the asylum instead would be interesting. AU where he's demonically possessed would be interesting. AU where Lana gets demonically possessed and goes head-to-head with Bloody Face is also interesting. Or just usual universe, exploration of backstory, or Stockholm Syndrome, or Lana's trauma healing attempts afterwards, or whatever. |
|
| redhandsredribbons | Dead Poets Society (1989) | Neil Perry, Todd Anderson | Neil/Todd angsty awkward first times please. Repression and defensiveness and surreptitious groping and passionate first time in love feels very encouraged. Please feel free to ignore the, ahem, end-of-movie tragedy if you'd like. You can just set everything before then, or AU it, or rationalize a way Neil survives, or whatever you'd like. | |
| redhandsredribbons | Carnivale | Sofie Bojakshiya, Libby Dreifuss | Femslash strongly encouraged, of any rating. Feel free to make it a bit creepy or angsty in reference to the various plot points, such as Sofie's eventual fate, if you'd like. I do want them to be genuinely in love, though. | |
| redhandsredribbons | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary) | Joan NOT completely surrounded by only white people would be nice/preferable. Like some kind of exploration that she's actually a woman of color and this impacts her life, and some interactions with other people of color that aren't all about white people. Along the lines of white people, though-- I would not say no to Joanlock. I ship it. Preference to romantic or queerplatonic asexual BDSM between them. (i.e. They're BFF, love each other passionately in their own unique way, aren't sexually attracted to each other per se, but Sherlock is Joan's sub forever and ever.) Any rating is fine. Kinks are fine. Canon universe is fine, or fantasy, sci-fi, or horror AUs are fine. tl;dr - Joan's a WoC please don't isolate her from other PoC. But I do like Joanlock. |

| redsnake05 | The Quiet Gentleman - Georgette Heyer | Drusilla Morville | Give me Drusilla and I will be happy. She's an experienced dancer, a mistress of the domestic arts (I love love love sewing, embroidery and crafts, so if this is something you love too, please feel free to include it), and a woman in a million. Tell me anything and I'll be happy. As for pairings, I love Drusilla and Gervase. Perhaps show me her settling into being married, being the Countess of Stanyon Castle and negotiating all the minefields ahead of her. The other pairing I would love is Drusilla/Marianne. I'd really love fic where Drusilla corrects and guides her, like, town life goes to Marianne's head somewhat, and Drusilla provides assistance. If you wanted to write a D/s relationship, either sexual or not, where Drusilla sorts out Marianne, I would love that. Please see my letter for extra optional details. |
letter |
| redsnake05 | Don't Starve (Video Game) | Wickerbottom (Don't Starve) | We know that Wickerbottom self-publishes. What does she write? The Totally Spurious Unauthorised Biography of Maxwell? A Treatise on Self-Sufficiency? Did she write before her abduction, and, if so, what? I'd love to read snippets from one or more of her works in progress. I'm also curious about what sort of librarian she was, and what sort of person. Tell me anything you like about her and her life. I don't have a pairing option for this one, but feel free to include other characters from the Don't Starve universe as you see fit, or OCs as you prefer. |
letter |
| redsnake05 | The Epic of Gilgamesh | Shamhat (Epic of Gilgamesh) | I want to read about Shamhat. For gen, please feel free to tell me about her life, her calling as a sacred prostitute (if she considers it such), and so on. How did she end up going forth to find Enkidu, and how did she feel during and after the whole story. I like the readings of the Epic where Shamhat has also slept with Gilgamesh, and would not be adverse to sex being part of Shamhat's story with either Enkidu or Gilgamesh or both, but would rather not receive a PWP. I would also love Shamhat/Inanna. Please, no non-con or dub-con with this one; I don't want to see Shamhat as a slave (though she cannot be equal to the goddess, there might be feminine spaces in which Inanna can show a different face, or it can be more about sensuality than sex wherever they meet). I would also love Shamhat/Ishtar/Male, if you wanted to write that, and would be fine with the male character being submissive or subservient to Inanna and Shamhat, but, please, no torture or anything too dark Please see my letter for extra optional details. |
letter |
| redsnake05 | Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage | Ada Lovelace | I really just want to know more about Lovelace. I am open to more adventures, slices of life, her feelings about dresses, whatever, with Babbage or not. I'd love to know more about their friendship and how they worked together (or not; their fights must have been legendary too). I have a bit of a soft spot for Lovelace/Brunel, in a UST-y, snarky, bantering kind of a way. If you wanted to involve him, that would be excellent, either as a friend or as a romantic or sexual partner for Lovelace. For this one, feel free to include other people of the era; perhaps a woman novelist or poet of your choosing? I have no problems with having to read up about someone after (or while) reading your story. |

| refutavel | Chihayafuru | Wataya Arata, Ayase Chihaya | Karuta kids who make my heart flutter. They're one my favorite OTPs these days, and how couldn't they be? Even though I see them from a romantic point of view, I would also be REALLY happy with a non-'shippy story. I just really like their bond, and how essential they are to each other! I keep up with the manga, so no problem if you choose to work with recent canon material in mind. | letter |
| refutavel | Bee and PuppyCat | Bee (Bee and PuppyCat) | I'm only requesting Bee because I'm guessing this could make matching easier, BUT I OBVIOUSLY LOVE PUPPYCAT! AND DECKARD! So yeah, use them if you want!!! I know I should give a vague idea about what I'd want from a fic, but I'm not sure! A story mixing cuteness and weirdness would be GREAT! Magical girl tropes, Deckard/Bee, Bee finding about Puppycat's past (I'm not exactly a zoophilia girl, but I like Space-Outlaw-in-human-form/Bee!)! Shippy, friendshippy, very plotty or just about a boring afternoon! | letter |
| refutavel | Bad Machinery | Shauna Wickle, Mildred Haversham, Charlotte Grote | Everything about this comic makes me happy, but if we're picking characters, my heart truly belongs to the girl trio. I'd love a fic about them having a sleepover and just talking about stuff! Silly stuff, serious stuff, STUFF! I'd love a fic set in a future in which they've parted ways (!!!!) but then a case reunites them! Ultimately I just want to see them hanging out, I guess. Knowing the other's idiosyncrasies, enjoying each other's presence and maybe getting frustrated sometimes (BUT IT'S OKAY, THAT'S FRIENDSHIP!!!) and and all that. No preference if you (beautiful, highly hypothetical you that wants to write the first fic for this fandom. I JUST ENJOY DAYDREAMING, OKAY?) choose to have one of them as the focus! | letter |
| refutavel | Prinsessen i kisten | The Princess in the Coffin | Princess (Prinsessen i kisten), Christian (Prinsessen i kisten) | I'm curious about their Happily Ever After; I mean, even with the usual weirdness in the fairy tales world, meeting your spouse while you look like "a terrible ghost, covered with quills like a porcupine" and he's obviously totally scared of you is still peculiar, and it would be interesting to see the princess and Christian's daily lives and their feelings for each other! Also: the princess spent fourteen years in reclusive life and THEN became a monster thanks to her not so intelligent father, so yeah, talk about rough teenage years?? I'd love to know more about her—is she bitter? Does she remember killing all those guards? And so on. I'm usually an enthusiast of happy stories, but a darker tone would fit this story! And of course, if you want to write Fun Shenanigans Feat. Ex-Zombie And Her Husband, that's also wonderfully okay. | letter |

| kall | Avengers Arena | Nico Minoru (Avengers Arena), Nara (Avengers Arena), Cullen Bloodstone (Avengers Arena), Anachronism (Avengers Arena) | 1. Nico survived Murderworld, but that didn't mean the events didn't change her. Adjusting back to life with the rest of the Runaways has been difficult for her. Her powers are stronger than what they had been before and Chase is the only one of their friends who knows what it was like for them. Nico struggles to be the person she once was, but she's not sure if she wants to be that person anymore. 2. Villain of your choice resurrects Nara, turning her into a brainwashed minion. Gradually Nara's memories begin to return to her and she begins to fight for her freedom. 3. Cullen's and Aiden's relationship is in a mess after Avengers Arena. Aiden is still mourning Nara's death and blames Cullen for it. Cullen meanwhile despite almost being killed by him is still in love with Aiden. He wants to make things right between them, he just doesn't know how and Aiden isn't helping things. |

| kall | Guardians of the Galaxy (Comics) | Peter Quill (GotG), Mantis (GotG) | 1. Peter is believed to have died. Mantis however is the only one who knows the truth (thanks to her precognition abilities). The problem is everyone thinks she's in denial about Quill's death. Based with only a limited knowledge with what happened to Peter and how she saves him, Mantis sets out on her own to save Quill. 2. When Mantis is attacked by an unknown virus, Peter vows to stop at nothing to save her. He's on his own though because the Guardians are needed elsewhere and time is running out. 3. Peter's love life has burned out. Even the sexy aliens don't interest him the way they use too. Sure they're hot but he gets bored with them quickly. Eventually he realizes that Mantis is the only one who holds his interest. Mantis however is not interested in jeopardizing their friendship. |

| kall | X-23 (Comic) | Laura Kinney (X-23), Remy LeBeau (X-23) | 1. Gambit is kidnapped and brainwashed and it's up to Laura to rescue him. Freeing him from captivity was the easy part but Laura finds it difficult dealing with a Gambit who no longer remembers her. Remy was always there for her when she needed him the most and Laura struggles with being unable to rely on him, while she finds a way to restore his memory. 2. For some reason Gambit's going away for a bit (X-Men mission, Thieves Guild stuff) and needs Laura to look after his kittens. The kittens don't really behave and mischief follows (maybe one of them goes missing). In the end the kittens decide that Laura's good for cuddling against. 3. It's Christmas time, but Laura doesn't understand the desire to celebrate. Fortunately Gambit's there to make sure she gets the Christmas she deserves. 4. Remy takes Laura to Mardi Gras. It is not the best idea he's ever had. |

They can go wherever and whenever they want. X-Factor is gone. So there's no reason to return there. So where to do they go? It's really up to you, author, what you want them to do. They could decide to stay in Mojoworld or go back to Earth. 2. Rictor and Shatterstar took their sweet time returning to X-Factor after helping Rahne find her kid. Like really took their time. What happened during that period? Did they run into another enemy that Shatterstar insisted on fighting? Did they decided to simply spend some needed time alone together? 3. PWP. Shower sex is always good. Or maybe after a tough mission or something the guys can barely keep their hands off each other and as soon as they're back in their room one of them ends up shoving the other against the wall and they just start getting it on right there. I don't care who tops or bottoms. |

| kall | X-Force (Comics) | Elizabeth Braddock (X-Force), Lady Fantomex (X-Force) | 1. Psylocke has moved on with her life, she doesn't miss Cluster one bit. At least that's what she tells herself. When Cluster returns Psylocke doesn't know what to think. She wants to follow her heart, but she knows that could just lead to more heartache. Cluster meanwhile tries to do everything in her power to win Psylocke over. 2. Psylocke and Cluster decide they need a vacation from all the chaos surrounding their life. They decided to go away somewhere romantic (author's choice) but of course they can't get away without their past catching up to them. Maybe a villain decides to track them down, maybe Cluster just can't resist stealing something, maybe Fantomex is also vacationing at the same location. It's up to you to decides what happens. 3. Similar to Prompt #2 but nothing bad happens. It's just a cute, romantic and/or smutty vacation for Psylocke and Cluster. It doesn't even have to be a vacation, they could just be chilling at home or on a date. |

| kall | X-Treme X-Men | Hercules (X-treme X-men), James Howlett (X-Treme X-men) | 1. Hercules is dead but that's not going to stop Howlett. He's going to find a way to rescue his man and nothing will stop him. I would like a happy ending where Herc and Howlett are reunited with Hercules alive once more. 2. Due to circumstances beyond their control, Hercules and Howlett end up back in their own universe. Zeus isn't pleased to see them back and fucks with either Hercules or Howlett's mind to make them forget the other. The one who does remember then stops at nothing to make things right and in the end love conquers all. (It's also okay to not use Zeus and instead use another villain). 3. PWP. Something hot and dirty. Clothes being ripped off and with Hercules and Howlett not being able to get enough of each other. |

| lia | Stoker (2013) | Charlie Stoker, Richard Stoker | As a film, Stoker was weird and fascinating to me. I was drawn in by a lot of the subtext that's left to the viewer to guess at and interpret. To me, the backstory and ongoing relationship between much older brother Richard and younger brother Charlie had a lot of unspoken nuance to it -- I felt like there was a possible interpretation there where Richard had been sexually abusive to Charlie, and Charlie had murdered their youngest brother only after Richard had turned his attention away from Charlie and towards him instead. I'm not asking for on-screened underage sexual abuse here, but I would love any further scenes with Charlie or Charlie and Richard any time after Charlie's hospitalization that explored that kind of possibility with some kind of darker narrative to the backstory between Charlie and Richard which is so formative to the events leading up to the film. Basically pre-canon Charlie and Richard background, please. If this is not your cup of tea, any kind of pre-canon scene with Richard and Charlie, or maybe Charlie and Richard exchanging letters while he's hospitalized, is totally great and I know I'll love it. Please see my Dear Yulewriter letter for any specifics about my tastes in things. |

| lia | 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) | HAL 9000, David Bowman | I will adore pretty much any HAL/Dave. I'll be honest and admit I'd love smut here, but if you can't envision that or aren't sure what to do with it, it doesn't have to be sexual. Dubcon or noncon are very welcome. Please see my Dear Yulewriter letter for any specifics about my tastes in things. |

| lia | Ladies of Grace Adieu - Susanna Clarke | Tom Brightwind, David Montefiore | I can't be the only person who was pretty sure David was Tom Brightwind's human boyfriend. As Tom Brightwind is one of the most hilarious characters in the JSMN universe, I would love to see any kind of a pairingfic adventure with Tom and David getting into some manner of Tom-related trouble, particularly if Tom is bent on convincing David to have sex with him somewhere they shouldn't. Please see my Dear Yulewriter letter for any specifics about my tastes in things. |
letter |
| lia | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke | The Raven King, William of Lanchester | There's a scene during the war where Strange uses magic to raise the dead, and Clarke includes a footnoted tale of a time when the Raven King used magic to raise Henry Barbatus from the dead for interrogation, something which William disapproved of, leading to a huge falling out between the two of them (lasting for years) over the whole matter. I would love that story. (John Uskglass/William of Lanchester as a pairing is always welcome, but optional.) Please see my Dear Yulewriter letter for any specifics about my tastes in things. |

| renquise | Angelmaker - Nick Harkaway | Edie Banister, Frankie Fosseyeur | Oh my goodness, I would love pretty much anything with these two. Domestic fic set in the happier times of their relationship and the slightly unusual aspects of what constitutes domesticity when the couple concerned are a secret agent and a genius inventor? An AU that plays with the events of the novel and explores what would have happened if Frankie was still around? Shameless smut in unlikely locations such as submarines or locomotives? An AU where the two of them get to be badass old ladies together? Seriously, anything would be wonderful--the wackier and pulpier (and potentially heartbreaking), the better! | letter |
| renquise | Yoko Tsuno (Comics) | Yoko Tsuno, Khany (Yoko Tsuno) | I love the friendship between these two, but I would especially love anything that explores a romantic relationship between Yoko and Khany--especially anything that explores its difficulties as a long-distance, inter-species relationship, and the ways that they manage to stay in contact and negotiate their differences. I would also LOVE any sort of space adventures with these two or any adventures on Vinea, especially if it leads to smooching somewhere along the way! Anything about the two of them raising Rosée and Poky, too, would be lovely. | letter |
| renquise | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Zamira Drakasha | Oh my god, give me Zamira's early adventures with Ezri, and the trial-and-error process of becoming a successful pirate captain. Or tell me the trials and tribulations of raising kids on a ship, and the role that the crew has played in building the makeshift family that Zamira has shaped around herself. Or tell me pretty much anything with Zamira being ridiculously awesome, and I will be happy as a clam. Gen would be lovely! | letter |
| renquise | 恋スル乙女は肉食系 | The Young Maiden in Love Is a Carnivore | Tyra-mi, Spino-ko | RIDICULOUS SCHOOLGIRL DINOSAUR ROMANCE IS ALL I DESIRE IN LIFE. Throw all the yuri anime tropes and interesting palaeontological facts at this, for serious. Spino-ko working up to a confession under the late cretaceous equivalent of cherry blossoms ! Longing and covert admiration of very sharp teeth and scales (or possibly feathers)! School trips and onsens for giant reptiles! IT'S ALL GOOD. | letter |
| renquise | A Dark Room (Doublespeak Games) | Wanderer (A Dark Room), Builder (A Dark Room) | Oh man, I would love any sort of worldbuilding for this game, especially given the wider context of the universe given later in the game. In connection to that, I would love anything that expands on the relationship between the wanderer and the builder, and the way that they band together to build a safe place for themselves and others. I'd especially love to know what happens between the two of them towards the end of the game, when the wanderer starts ranging out further and eventually starts getting ready to leave. (If you'd like to take a romantic bent to their relationship, too, I would be more than happy! I imagine that a fairly intense connection must have developed between the two over the course of building up the village.) | letter |
| renquise | Shimotsuma Monogatari | Kamikaze Girls (2004) | Shirayuri Ichigo, Ryuugasaki Momoko | Either gen or femslash is absolutely fine with me! Future-fic for the two of them would also be absolutely fantastic, especially if it involves the two of them accidentally moving in together and terrible adventures in domesticity. If you want to expand on what happens in the movie itself or directly after the movie, that's equally amazing, though! On the romantic side of things, anything about the two of them being hilariously terrible at being girlfriends (while being unintentionally heart-felt and genuinely caring for each other, as much as they would like to deny it), and any attempt at doing typical couple-ey things inevitably going a bit off-kilter would be great—can you imagine the two of them going to Tokyo Disneyland or going out for trifle at a fancy little cafe? Amazing. And if it goes hand-in-hand with badass gang adventures, all the better. | letter |
| resolute | Hawkeye (Comics) | Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) | narky, fun, gen or light romance. PLEASE do not write Clint and Kate romantically or sexually involved with each other. "The dog won't die and they won't fuck," Matt said. Let's keep it that way. Hijinks are good! Complicated is good! Weary know-it-alls who are in over their heads are GREAT! |

| resolute | Arthurian Mythology | Lancelot du Lac (Arthurian Mythology) | AUs are WELCOME. Time-displaced creative re-tellings WELCOME. Crossovers WELCOME. What I love most about Lance is the moments of decision. He made some bad ones, but so did everyone else. How did those bad decisions come to be? Why did they make sense for him? |

Sex is absolutely optional. There's not much gore in this fandom - hell, go for it if you want. Really, I'll take anything. |
letter |
| vMarsh | Motorcity | You can also take a peep at last year's request. I see the Duke isn't nominated this year, in part because I totally forgot about the fandom (whoops) but I still hold a little black flame for him. Alternately, world-building...hey, is there religion there other than the Gaians? What else exists beyond the major groups we've seen? There's such a rich world here that never got explored. |

I prefer the Egyptian form versus the always monstrous ones. Isn't that form a bit dangerous - or fitting - in a post 9/11 world? Or in the past - when I was a kid, I loved Ancient Egypt, and although I abandoned it for other ancient realms when I was in graduate school, I ... Well, hey, he gets around, right? |

| rexluscus | Il buono il brutto il cattivo | The Good The Bad and The Ugly (1966) | Tuco Ramirez, "Blondie" | The Man with No Name | I love the weird affection (affectionate hatred?) between Tuco and Blondie. They are so passionate about each other, even if that passion is hatred - you will never convince me that there isn't something erotic about Tuco sitting down to smoke Blondie's still-lit cigar after chasing him for days... I long for some Blondie/Tuco slash. If porn, I'd love for them to fight and struggle for control, with Tuco letting his sadism off the leash and Blondie getting his cool persona peeled back a bit. But I'm more interested in their hilarious love-hate dynamic where they betray each other every ten seconds but can't seem to stay away from each other. Some ideas: - Tuco chases Blondie after the movie ends, thinking he wants revenge. When he catches him, he discovers he wants something else. - Years later, Tuco runs across Blondie in trouble and has to decide what to do. It's tempting to just leave him there but... - Tuco sets himself up somewhere as a respectable member of society. Then Blondie shows up on the run from the law. - Tuco and Blondie somehow both become immortal and spend the next hundred years chasing and/or fighting each other. - Forced proximity. However you want: handcuffed together, trapped in a shack during a snow storm, whatever. |
letter |
| rexluscus | Pet Shop of Horrors | Leon Orcot, Count D | My favorite thing about PSOH is still Leon - Leon and his bizarre, confusing, life-upending, sexual-orientation-questioning love for Count D. I love stories where he searches for D post-series, not really knowing what's driving him, not understanding his own feelings...or stories where he struggles to make sense of this person he loves but doesn't understand. I also love stories where D is hurt or in trouble and needs Leon's help for once. Mainly I just love to see Leon and D trying really hard (and maybe failing) to figure each other out despite the vast gulf between them. Some ideas: - D is dying of a mysterious illness and Leon is desperate to save him. The solution ends up costing him something huge and he has to go to dark, uncomfortable places to get it. - There are other deities/spirits besides the Ds and naturally there's politics. Leon gets caught in the middle, and D doesn't make it easy for him. - The real authorities - cops, feds, government spooks who *aren't* in love with D - get their hands on D, and Leon has to rescue him. - Fuck or die. I think I'd prefer D to be the one in danger of dying, but it could also be Leon, or both of them. |
letter |
| rexluscus | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | Stephen Maturin, Jack Aubrey | Apart from the incredible romance between Jack and Stephen, which I adore, I love the texture of life in these books and my favorite parts are Stephen's semi-mystical experiences in foreign countries, when he seems to lose himself and be absorbed by the place, like his wanderings through Bombay in _HMS Surprise_ and his trip to the temple in Kumai in _The Thirteen Gun Salute_. I also love the passages in which Jack does battle with nature (or with other men) as his ship falls apart around him, or just generally when he communes with his ship. Some ideas: - Jack and Stephen alone together somewhere exotic. Maybe Stephen is on one of his mystical walkabouts, but this time Jack is along, feeling out of his element. How does the dynamic change with Jack there? - Sophie and/or Diana join Jack and Stephen for an actual adventure. (I love Jack and Stephen together but I'm also very fond of the women they do, in fact, also love.) - Hurt/comfort with Stephen having to perform some traumatizing medical procedure on Jack, or better yet, Jack has to do the same for Stephen while Stephen walks him through it (shades of _HMS Surprise_). - Ghost ship. (Take that however you want.) - Jack and Stephen spend some time as mermaids. (Mermen?) Crackfic-played-straight would be ideal for this one. |
letter |
| rexluscus | Slings & Arrows | Geoffrey Tennant, Ellen Fanshaw, Oliver Welles | My favorite aspect of this show is the complicated muddle that is Oliver/Geoffrey/Ellen. Of course, I love the theater slice-of-life stuff and all the Shakespeare nerdery...I have a special love for Anna and Maria and Nahum who are all just trying to do their jobs while surrounded by narcissists...and Darren Nichols may be the greatest character ever created. But my real investment is in Oliver, Geoffrey and Ellen. Some ideas: - An AU in which Geoffrey *doesn't* run off never to return until after Oliver's dead. What exactly does Oliver feel for Geoffrey, or for Geoffrey and Ellen together? Why *does* he sleep with Ellen? Why does Ellen sleep with him? What is going *on* between these three strange, highly emotional people? - Fix-It AU in which Oliver is alive for the new production of _Hamlet_ (and Geoffrey is forced to return for some other reason). The three of them have to untangle their mess and work things out. - Geoffrey, Oliver and Ellen all magically soul-bond, which gives them the ability to hear each other's thoughts. It is fucking terrible. |
letter |
| rexluscus | Paradise Lost - John Milton | Satan (Paradise Lost) | This is a weird one because although I love this poem passionately, I have no idea what fanfic for it would look like! Naturally I'm fascinated by Satan and would love anything that shines more light into his dark corners. Some ideas: - Satan's creation and his early life in Heaven. He says "We know no time when we were not as now; / Know none before us, self-begot, self-raised / By our own quickening power..." which is odd because it seems like he's forgotten his own creation. There's also the did-it-happen-or-didn't-it quality of Sin's birth. So, Satan's memory of Heaven is weird and full of holes. I'd love something that explores/explains that. - Romantic drama in Heaven before Satan's fall. Angels have sex, right? "Easier than air with air, if Spirits embrace, / Total they mix, union of pure with pure / Desiring, nor restrained conveyance need / As flesh to mix with flesh, or soul with soul." Satan/anyone. (Beelzebub? Belial? Abdiel? The Son???) - The scene in Pandemonium after Satan returns to Hell from Paradise (and after the whole snake thing). The fallen angels' bodies are growing more monstrous, the bloom is off the rose when it comes to Satan's triumphant leader status...what do he and his cronies say to each other? What do they do with their time now?? - Modern AU. Come on, this could be amazing. - AU in which Satan...actually reconciles with the Father. Yeah, I dunno, it sound ridiculous but I want it. |
letter |
| rexluscus | 16th Century CE RPF | Christopher Marlowe (16th Century CE RPF) | Christopher Marlowe is my favorite. As much as I love Shakespeare and am intrigued by the utter blank that is his extant biography, Marlowe is...I mean he's a goddamn gay atheist spy! He couldn't be cooler if he had super-powers, for God's sake! (Hey, there's an idea...) So I'd love anything that develops Marlowe's character. Team him up with Shakespeare or anyone else you like - I just want to know more about him. Some ideas: - Marlowe Gets Into Trouble around London. Sexual trouble? Literary trouble? Secret crown business-related trouble? - As per above, Marlowe actually sells his soul to the Devil in exchange for magical powers. And uses them to act like a giant dick, I assume. - Spanish-Armada-Wins AU? I've never read that book by Harry Turtledove but I'm intrigued by the idea. (Does Marlowe join the resistance or does he collaborate?) - Sex pollen. Yes, that's right. Alchemists are involved. |

Ship me some Piper/Sarda, show me a character moment for Merete, get the whole gang back together for a new adventure, or so much more...many more ideas in my letter! | letter | |
| ka_Sivao | Sundown: Whispers of Ragnarok - Sassafrass | This is such an amazing interpretation of Norse myth, and deserves some fic of its very own. I ship Hella/Baldur, I love trickster figures, and I can't wait to find out more about the Seeress in the songs that are still in progress--more ideas in my letter! | letter | |
| ka_Sivao | Dark Life Series - Kat Falls | This book needs so much more love! Tell me more about the Seablite gang, tell me more about Gemma, maybe show me a cool sea creature or two...more ideas in my letter! | letter | |
| hea | The Losers (2010) | Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez, Jake Jensen | A couple of ideas. Mostly I just want more Cougar/Jensen, if any of these strike your fancy then great, if not I'd still love to hear the Cougar/Jensen story you have to tell. Ex-pornstar Jensen. Jensen had to put himself through college (or whatever reason necessitates money) so he worked high end, pay for subscription website. Now Jensen tracks, and eliminates any outside posting of his video, and tracks the ISPs of anyone who watches it on the main sight. It's just habit at this point. It's also habit to know the computer passwords, usernames and ISPs of his team. Jensen finds out that his team has all seen his vid and is waiting for the other shoe to drop. And of any of them, Jensen only really cares what Cougar thinks... Fake/Pretend boyfriends where Jensen's sister thinks Jensen and Cougar are dating and they have to keep up the charade but then realize it's not really a charade to either of them cue feelings and sexy funtimes etc. Stripper Jensen has past skills as a stripper and uses them to get intel, everyone is 0.0 Cougar is also interested... Then for whateve reason Jensen has to go undercover in a strip club and the guys show up for laughs but Cougar doesn't wind up laughing (Awkwardist lap dance ever, and they're really going to have to talk about this). |
letter |
| hea | No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | Nezumi (No. 6), Shion (No. 6) Inukashi | I would love a story focusing on Nezumi and Shion both on their relationship because I think they're lovely together, but also on their relation to the world of No.6 I'd love some exploring of Nezumi's feelings on the West Block and what it was like living there before the fall of the wall to after when he returns. Nezumi's view of the kind of every-man-for-himself mentality and fear of military reprisal from No. 6 would be interesting to contrast to Shion's, and how those experience shape how they both help in the rebuilding of their society. Shion doesn't have to go into the government, I know a lot of fics do that but I'd be interested to see him actually working in person with humanitarian aid and rebuilding. What does the aftermath of the series look like, how do they rebuild, what is the integration of the West Block with the more privileged people of No.6 who are left with a society in (possible) upheaval look like. So I'd like a story with focus on the wider world, but through the lens Shion & Nezumi and if Nezumi comes back to No.6/West Block somewhere in all this and their relationship also starts rebuilding that'd be neat too! Conversely, if you don't want to write Nezumi/Shion I'd love a character study on Inukashi. My personal head-cannon is Inukashi as female, presenting as "I look how I look and don't bother with assigning myself gender because does it really matter?" and also because it's probably makes life a bit easier to be mistaken for a boy in the West Block. I'd love to hear about her growing up, what it was like living in the West Block, how she became the dog lender, and anything else you want to tell about her story. Please don't ship her with any of the characters of the show, but if you want to make up an OC I'm fine with that. |
letter |
| hea | Rent-a-Cat / Rentaneko | Yoshikawa (Rent-a-cat), Sayoko (Rent-a-cat) | I'd love a fic about Sayoko and Yoshikawa, either about them becoming friends, or starting a romance. I'd particularly like a romance, but it's fine if that's not your thing. Some possibilities could be a fic where Yoshikawa decides to take Sayoko with her on that trip to Hawaii. Or a fic where when Yoshikawa comes back from her trip, much more relaxed and enjoying life, she decides she wants to be Sayoko's friend and they start hanging out, preferably with the cats, and in such a way that it perhaps scandalizes Sayoko's annoying neighbor. I'd love a fic that explores further all the crazy ways Sayoko makes money and perhaps what Yoshikawa thinks of the stock trading, marketing jingle writing, psychic, cat-purveyor/renter, she's become friends/romantic with. I really like the quirky sweet feel of this movie so any way you can incorporate that in a fic would be awesome, I'd be happy to see other characters too though I'd prefer the main focus to be mostly on Sayoko and Yoshikawa. |
letter |
| hea | Little Mix (Band) | Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, Tulisa Contostavlos | I'd love any shippy fic about these awesome ladies! I particularly love Jesy (I'm primarily Jesy/Jade or Jesy/Leigh-Anne but really Jesy/everyone is fine because she's just that awesome). Anything with any of them being awesome, fun, competent, flirty, and just generally enjoying themselves would be great. | letter |
| hea | Loveless | Agatsuma Soubi, Aoyagi Ritsuka | I love the messed up power dynamics in Loveless, that Ritsuka is inherently at a disadvantage with the age difference but is "in control" of Soubi while Soubi still is, intentionally or not, manipulative but also obedient to Ritsuka's control. The way they build a relationship out of their individual traumas and various broken pieces is fascinating to me. I think there are many wonderfully creepy and beautiful stories to be told through their growing relationship and connection. The imagery of Loveless already, butterflies, bandages, fallen leaves and bindings creates for an already intricate setting and background. I love the kinkier aspects of the story, and a story getting deeper into the power play aspects of their relationship, particularly with Ritsuka as the assertive party would be interesting, this doesn't have to be sexual kink, or even fall under the pain/piercing/binding pieces already covered in the comics but looking at control, obedience, power exchange, and care taking would be interesting. Actually if, giving due credence to the darker tones of the series it could be a hurt-comfort fic of how the Soubi and Ritsuka take care of and care for each other, that'd be neat. | letter |
| rhllors | Macbeth - Shakespeare | Lady Macbeth, Macbeth | I'd love to see some pre-play relationship, with interplay between the very obviously domme Lady and the war hero, masculine yet subservient husband. If that's not your cup of tea, something set near the end? Out, damn spot reaction, maybe? | letter |

I'm basically happy with anything, but lesbians/bisexual ladies are always welcome, haha. Lady bonding! Team fic! Case fic with lady bonding and ladies saving the day? I included Maria because I'd love some Melinda/Maria (Romantic or Friendship, either way) because if Coulson gets sexy ladies from their past, so does May! |

| rhllors | Being Human (UK) | Daisy (Being Human), Ivan (Being Human), Hal Yorke Nick Cutler | Ivan and Daisy are all my time favourite Being Human characters, and I've always head-canon'd it that they used to run with Hal back when he was Lord Hal, in a wonderful menage-a-trois (if it doesn't float your boat, it can be platonic, don't sweat it). Not only does this kickass pairing interest me, but also how Hal works. The aftermath of Lord Hal leaving without any thought for the people he leaves behind (see: Cutler, Lady Catherine, etc.). I'd also be very happy with a Hal reacts to their deaths fic, oh the angst. |

Maybe a snapshot of them ten years into the future, or an au about them meeting in different circumstances, or maybe a 500 days of summer au? But I'd be perfectly happy with them just hanging out in the loft together. Or spending their first Christmas together in their own place. That would be cute. I'm definitely not into 100% fluff, though! | letter |

| riverlight | What Maisie Knew (2012) | Lincoln (What Maisie Knew (2012)), Margo (What Maisie Knew (2012)), Maisie (What Maisie Knew (2012)) | I'll put full details in my Dear Author letter, but basically things I would love to see include a happy Lincoln/Margo story (how did they get together, anyway? what is their relationship like going forward?) and happy "chosen family" stories (how do Margo and Lincoln and Maisie construct a family? What does it look like?) | letter |
| riverlight | Mel - Liz Berry | Mel Calder, Mitch (Mel) | I'll put additional details in my Dear Author letter, but I'd love to see a story from this beloved book from my childhood! Anything goes, really: want to write about Mel and Mitch's wedding? Go for it! What does their life together look like? How does Mel's relationship with her mum develop? What happens with Lucinda? | letter |
| riverlight | The Glass Lake - Maeve Binchy | Kit McMahon (The Glass Lake - Maeve Binchy), Stevie Sullivan (The Glass Lake - Maeve Binchy) | This is one of my all-time favorite novels, and I request it every year! There's so much I love about it: the mother-daughter relationship between Lena and Kit, the romance between Kit and Stevie, Kit becoming her own woman, the changes in Ireland in the '50s... I'd love to see a story going into any of these issues! More details in my Dear Author letter. :) | letter |
| riverlight | Wise Child Series - Monica Furlong | Wise Child (Wise Child), Finbar (Wise Child), Juniper (Wise Child) | More details in my Dear Author letter—but oh, how I love this book! Such wonderful characters, and I love the deep sense of spirituality. What comes next after the books? What happens to Wise Child as she grows up? | letter |
| ivestra | Dead Zone | Johnny Smith, Walt Bannerman | I'm actually an OT3er in this fandom, though it doesn't have to be at all sexual (don't let me stop you though!) However you slice it, their relationship is deliciously complex. I'd prefer my Walt alive, if you can manage it (themes of grief hit a little too close to home), and please, *please*, no Sarah bashing. | letter |
| ivestra | Revolution (TV) | Miles Matheson, Bass Monroe | I'd love some exploration of things going differently than they did on the show when Bass finally had Miles in front of him (if Miles hadn't escaped and then been nearly pulverized by a surprise helicopter), but anything focusing on the twistyness between them would be great (slashy interpretations or not, the pair fascinates me). | letter |
| ivestra | Haven | Audrey Parker, Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos, Dwight Hendrickson | I can't say I'm big into the canon mythology of this show, but I love watching the effects of the (often ludicrous) plot on the lead characters faces and relationships -- and I love the leads in any combination you'd care to play with them in. Again here, I'd prefer to stay away from major character death. Also, there can never be enough Hendrickson. | letter |
| ivestra | Eureka | Allison Blake, Jack Carter, Nathan Stark, Zoe Carter | Ah, the family Carter, how I've missed you in my home. The whole extended family, I mean, which includes everyone Jack's "adopted,” including some misfit AIs. I don't actually *dislike* anyone from his show, but I don't really want something Fargo or Vincent-centric, either. If you give me Jack and Nathan, I will squee all over you for, like, a really long time. | letter |
| ivestra | Sports Night | Dan Rydell, Casey McCall, Natalie Hurley, Jeremy Goodwin | On reading the name "Sports Night” in the fandoms list, I was overcome with what felt much like homesickness. There is no bad here unless the characters aren't themselves. Oh, how I have missed the snark. | letter |
| ivestra | The Americans (TV 2013) | Elizabeth Jennings, Philip Jennings, Paige Jennings, Henry Jennings | Honestly, I'm not sure what I want here, except that I want more. The show gives me a glimpse of so many relationships, all darkly mesmerizing--Philip and Elizabeth's relationship and their relationships with their kids and their superiors are all wide open to interpretation or new material.. The show has a stunning potential for back story and the what-if possibilities are almost dizzying. Other than parent-child grief, I can take a lot of darkness in a story from this fandom, but I'd also love a quiet moment or something finally going right for them. | letter |
| rivkat | Anna to the Infinite Power - Mildred Ames | Rowan Hart, Anna Hart | omeday I hope to get the Anna/Rowan story of my dreams, but I completely understand if that's not how you roll. I'll be happy with anything that has Anna struggling to become herself, or achieving herself. Angst and schmoop both welcomed. | letter |
| rivkat | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Jennifer Mills | Anything taking Ichabod's time displacement seriously (for show values of seriously, ok) and having him react to things that are very different now would be awesome. I like Abbie/Ichabod but have no objections to gen or to any other relationships, though I'd like Abbie & Jennifer more as sisters with a troubled but strong connection. | letter |
| rivkat | Alphas | Rachel Pirzad, Cameron Hicks, Gary Bell, Nina Theroux | Any relationships are cool, even with characters I didn't list. I would love to see someone else taking on Dr. Rosen's mantle of morally compromised negotiator with the government, and how the others react. | letter |
| rivkat | Covert Affairs | Annie Walker (Covert Affairs), Auggie Anderson, Eyal Lavine | I understand this one might not be shared: I really want to see Annie/Auggie where Annie has decided to continue using her sexuality to do her job, and Auggie accepts that she is willing to have sex with her targets without conventional patriarchical jealousy (he doesn't need to be thrilled by it, but I'd rather have him treat it like he treats her being in danger--unpleasant but inherent in the job description--if he's not turned on by it). If that's not your cup of tea, no big deal! A lighthearted caper, or a chance for both of them to show off their respective talents, would also be great. And I'm totally happy with Eyal too, with either or both of them (yum), as long as Annie isn't denigrated to get Auggie and Eyal together. | letter |

| J_Anderson | Incarceron Series - Catherine Fisher | Claudia Arlexa, Jared Sapiens, Keiro (Incarceron), Attia (Incarceron) | Jared and Claudia are my OTP. I would absolutely adore a fic with that pairing - whether it's an overtly romantic story set after the end of SAPPHIQUE, or a quieter exploration of their mutual trust and devotion during the events of the Incarceron series (or beforehand). I'm not gonna lie, kissing would be awesome, but I would be delighted with anything that focuses on the two of them. Failing that, I like Attia a lot and think that if anybody has the capacity to turn Keiro into an actual human being it would be her. Something sparky with the two of them butting heads and then coming to some kind of terms, whether it's a friendship or a romance, would be fun. |
letter |
| J_Anderson | Dance Academy | Abigail Armstrong, Ethan Karamakov | (INCOMING SPOILERS for anyone who has not watched S3 of Dance Academy yet - sorry about that.) I am super sad that Tim Pocock couldn't be part of DA Season 3, because I feel almost certain that the whole Wes/Abigail storyline would have been totally Ethan/Abigail otherwise. And Ethan/Abigail are my Dance Academy OTP. So I would love to see an AU S3 fic, or a fic set in Barcelona during the S2 - S3 gap in Barcelona, or a fic set after the events of S3, where Ethan and Abigail get together. But I would also be totally cool with a character study-type fic where they're apart and working on separate projects, and there's no particular romantic angle at all. Basically, I just love the both of them. Especially Abigail. BTW, there is nobody in the whole cast of Dance Academy that I hate (though Ben Tickle gets on my last nerve sometimes and Grace's behaviour is frequently appalling, I still see them as fully rounded human beings because THE SHOW IS THAT GOOD), so feel free to throw in any other characters you like. Especially Kat because Kat <3. |
letter |
| J_Anderson | Monster Blood Tattoo Series - D. M. Cornish | Miss Europe (Monster Blood Tattoo), Sebastipole (Monster Blood Tattoo) | Please tell me I am not the only person who adores both Europe and Sebastipole and thinks they would make a fabulous pair? They never met in canon that I can recall, though IIRC Sebastipole was aware of Europe's reputation as both a monster-killer and an attractive, powerful woman (doesn't he tell Rossamünd about her at some point? I really need to re-read the books). But the two of them working together is definitely something I'd love to see in a fic, whether the story goes all the way to romance or merely hints at the beginning of a brilliant alliance. Bonus points for fighting action and anything else that indulges my competence kink! | letter |
| J_Anderson | Kat Series - Stephanie Burgis | Kat Stephenson, Alexander Ravenscroft | The Kat series was so delightful, I hated to see it end. Especially just as Kat appeared to have finally met her destined match in the embittered, misguided but redeemable Alexander. Where did they go from there, magically and romantically, after the final book? A story set anywhere in the subsequent years, involving both of them in some kind of magical escapade that brings them closer together (despite the inevitable bickering and exasperation with each other's faults), would be great fun. Something sweet but not saccharine, light-hearted but not silly - basically in a tone similar to the original series, so I can pretend it's a bit of canon I just happened to miss along the way. | letter |
| J_Anderson | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | I don't know if I ship them or not, I just know I want to see Sherlock and Joan being the bestest of best friends forever. Solving cases, negotiating domestic conflicts, finding out stuff about each other that they've never told anybody else, giving each other much-needed reality checks, and suchlike. (Not that the fic has to have ALL of those things at the same time, of course. I'm just giving examples.) If it turns out to be romantic or quasi-romantic that's great; if it doesn't and the focus is on their amazing friendship, that's great too. As Schmendrick said to the magic, do what you will. Bonus points for including Alfredo Llamosa. Or Clyde. |
letter |
| J_Anderson | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills | I tried to tell myself that I don't actually ship Ichabbie, but it's no use. I totally do. Except that I can only feel good about shipping them if Katrina is actually dead, because adultery. So I am good with either a story that's about the same speed as the show right now where Ichabbie is concerned (i.e. basically genfic with lashings of sassy banter and UST), or a story set some time in the future where it's clear that Katrina is lost to Crane forever. *wipes tear* Ichabod Meets the 21st Century (And It's Hilarious) is one of my favorite things about this show, so bonus points for that. In all honesty I am really not fond of demons and ghosts and gore, and I can only handwave the dreadful theology and eschatology by telling myself that it takes place in some alternate universe where the Bible is different, so I would prefer a story about Ichabod and Abbie going on a search for some Very Important Mystical-Historical Artifact or solving a mystery with a relatively low grossness / occult factor that is basically just an excuse for Sass n' Bonding. Or even just hanging out doing nothing in particular except making great faces at each other, because obviously I do not watch this show for the plot. |
letter |
| oadstergal | Rush (2013) | Niki Lauda (Rush), James Hunt (Rush) | I am a big fan of racing of the two and four-wheel flavors, so seeing this movie, and how careful they were (with just one or two exceptions) to get the _details_ right - god, it was lovely. I would love to see some good exploration of the characters, their interactions, their relationships, their different approaches to racing and to life. Slash is lovely, any rating. If you don't know racing, you don't have to try to jam any of it in there. The dynamic of the characters is love. |
letter |
| oadstergal | District 9 (2009) | Wikus van der Merwe, Christopher Johnson, Christopher Johnson's Son | Again, it's the character study I love. How very flawed Wikus is, how he has some redemption in him nonetheless. I love his troubled relationship with Christopher; I love how Chrisopher's son is a lovely foil to Christopher's cynicism. I'll take anything from gen character interaction to outright slash to, even, reproduction - whatever stimulates you. I also love Wikus's relationship with his wife, so anything with that would be fantastic, too. Pre-movie events, post-movie events, way-post-movie-events, interludes, whatever works. |
letter |
| oadstergal | War of the Worlds (TV) | Harrison Blackwood (War of the Worlds), Paul Ironhorse (War of the Worlds) | This is a great fandom to get really dark in, so I'd love to see something really dark. Mind-control, hard decisions, people getting hurt, anything like that. I have a particular fetish for Ironhorse getting hurt in the line of protecting Blackwood. | letter |
| oadstergal | Cycling RPF | Jens Voigt (Cycling RPF), Andy Schleck (Cycling RPF) | I would love to see a little Andy/Jens. H/C after Andy's accident would be good, but any slashy interaction between them would be great, from light to very heavy. My only reservation when it comes to this fandom - I can't see Jens being deceptive or cheat-y at all, so all the respect for his wife whatever this turns out to be. I have no problems with brocest, either. Not in this fandom, at least! |

| roberval | Radio Free Roscoe | I tend to prefer the canon pairings as they are at the end of the series, but Travis I can ship with anyone, and you can probably sell me on any pairing if you care about it enough to put effort into making me believe it (fic that's entirely established Robbie/Lily with nothing that shows how they got there is probably not going to work for me, for example, but if you show me how it happens in a way that feels true to their characters, I'll probably buy in). Or you can keep it gen, that's cool too. I'm going to throw a bunch of ideas in my letter, which you are of course free to use or reject at will. | letter | |
| roberval | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Locke Lamora, Nazca Barsavi | I'd love to see anything set between when they met as kids and when we read about them as adults in The Lies of Locke Lamora. I'd rather their relationship not be romantic, but I don't mind it featuring nonsexual kink, or even some awkward sexual exploration if you really want to go there. I read Nazca (and Locke, to a lesser extent) as queer, but you're welcome to ignore that, I'd just rather you not refute it when writing for me. Something that plays with Locke's being (or becoming, given the timeline) a priest and/or his being Nazca's pezon would be cool. | letter |
| roberval | 16th Century CE RPF | Christopher Marlowe (16th Century CE RPF), Sir Walter Raleigh (16th Century CE RPF) | I'd love to see something to do with The Passionate Shepherd to His Love and The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd. Why Marlowe and Raleigh each decided to write the poem they did, how each first encountered and reacted to the other's poem, what the poems say about their relationship, stuff like that. I see this as being slash, ideally. If you'd rather not write slash or that doesn't work for you for some other reason, I'd also be thrilled to get fic about the circumstances of Marlowe's death (using the theory of your choice), spy fic, an AU (steampunk? modern? space opera? werewolf? Potterverse?), and/or straight-up crackfic. I'd be happy with gen or slash for any of those. I do like Marlowe/Shakespeare as well, so if you want to include that in anything you write for this, feel free. |
letter |
| roberval | History Boys - Bennett | James Lockwood (History Boys - Bennett), Anthony Timms (History Boys - Bennett) | Gen or slash, and my first impulse is to ask for Lockwood-centric fic, though I'm sure you could sell me on Timms-centric fic if that interests you more. I'd love to see the two of them hanging out, maybe watching a Now, Voyager, maybe picking and practicing an ending, maybe something to do with poetry (learning it, reciting it, and/or how much they do or do not understand it). Lockwood/Timms is welcome, but so are Lockwood/Crowther and Lockwood/Akthar and Lockwood/Posner (if you go with L/P, I see that more as a one-sided, Lockwood-maybe-has-a-bit-of-a-crush thing while they're at school, and maybe it becomes something else post-canon). If you're going to include other boys as supporting characters, I have a preference for Crowther and Akthar for this. You're welcome to incorporate things from the movie/screenplay/radioplay, but I'd really appreciate it if all the characters who survive the play also survive the fic (and, if you include Posner, that his future looks more like it does in the play than like it does in the movie). | letter |
| roberval | The Hour | Bel Rowley, Freddie Lyon, Marnie Madden | This is really more of an either/or, in that I can't decide whether I want Bel + Freddie or Bel + Marnie more, so I'm leaving it up to you, because I trust you, because you apparently like both Marnie and Freddie enough to offer them. If you want to write casefic about all three of them or have Marnie entertaining/taking care of Bel and Freddie or the two of them entertaining/taking care of Marnie, or anything else that includes all three, that would be awesome, but I'd be equally happy to receive Bel/Freddie or Bel & Freddie fic that looks at their relationship pre-series one, or Bel & Marnie or Bel/Marnie fic, or a character study of any one of them (as long as Bel is heavily featured--I like her a lot). | letter |
| roberval | Young Wizards - Diane Duane | Dairine Callahan, Carmela Rodriguez, Kit Rodriguez | I ship future Carmela/Dairine, so femslash about them as adults would be great, but so would gen about them, maybe commiserating over being related to Kit and Nita, or teaming up to fight the Lone Power/seriously annoy their siblings/do something totally awesome. I'm not really interested in Dairine/Roshaun right now, but I would be interested in reading about teenage or adult Dairine dealing with an inconvenient and unrequited crush on Kit that she eventually gets over, if that strikes your fancy. Kit and Dairine bonding over being the kinds of kids that a lot of people would consider "gifted", and Kit and Carmela teasing each other, clashing, and/or supporting each other are also relevant to my interests. You have my permission to limit the involvement of any one of these three in order to focus on the relationship between the other two if you want. I have no problem with Dairine/Roshaun and Kit/Nita as background pairings, and if Ronan's going to be included I'd rather see him as either not in a relationship or as part of Kit/Nita/Ronan. |
letter |
| rocknlobster | Foreigner Series - C. J. Cherryh | Bren Cameron, Jago (Foreigner), Banichi (Foreigner) | I would really love to see some of the moments we often don't get in the series - i.e. when Bren gets to go to his seaside estate, or on vacation somewhere, and actually gets some downtime. It would be nice for Tano and Algini to be in there too, if it works out! Above I referenced the seaside estate which is later in the series, but really I'm happy with any place within the series, or even before the first book when he's first getting to know them. Another possibility would be them going about doing routine type things, an opportunity for world-building or character-building. Really I'm up for anything as long as it involves these guys! | letter |
| rocknlobster | Rai-Kirah - Carol Berg | Seyonne (Rai-Kirah), Aleksander (Rai-Kirah) | The relationship between these two characters is one of my favorites of all the books I've read. Any fic that explores, describes, or otherwise engages these two characters will make me happy. Other characters being present is super a-ok also. I do ask that they not be written romantically, unless you can really make it work with canon. (OT3 with Lydia springs to mind.) But really the things I most love to read about these characters is how they help each other see the world differently. | letter |
| rocknlobster | Lost Girl | Kenzi (Lost Girl), Bo (Lost Girl) | I would love love love to see Bo and Kenzi solving some random case relatively early on in the show, before their lives start getting super complicated. Day-in-the-life type stuff, can you tell I like it? | letter |
| rocknlobster | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Richard Mayhew, Door (Neverwhere), Marquis de Carabas (Neverwhere) | I don't have anything specific in mind, but a few possibilities are: something during the existing canon plot, or perhaps something taking place after the existing plot in which they are all interacting again. Maybe de Carabas needs a favor from them this time and has called in the debt, either on a small scale or a grand scale. Who knows? There's a lot of potential and I leave it up to you to decide what makes the most sense. | letter |
| rocknlobster | Riddick (2013) | Richard B. Riddick (Riddick 2013), Boss Johns (Riddick 2013) | This is a fairly specific request if at all possible: a story/narrative/plot/framing device/AU/whatever including Riddick and Boss Johns in which there is no [triggering stuff further described in my letter]. There was so much potential for the conflict between these two and its various avenues of resolution, and I would love to see someone explore this, even if it's just a snippet and doesn't resolve over-arching plot stuff. | letter |
| odo | North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV | Margaret Hale, John Thornton | I would most like to read something set post-canon, dealing with the friends and family of the couple and how they react to their marriage — and of course lots of shippy stuff, since the two are incapable of not being adorable together, in my opinion. ... | letter |
| odo | Raumpatrouille | This one has been on my list of wishes for years, so I would read just about anything. ... | letter | |

| rosaxx50 | Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin | Tenar (Earthsea) | Any back story, character examination, AU - anything. I'm especially interested in early Tenar, before she became a wife, or even before she met Ged. | letter |
| rosaxx50 | Psy-Changeling - Nalini Singh | Nikita Duncan, Sahara Kyriakus, Kaleb Krychek | This is an either/or prompt. Anything about Nikita's life would thrill me. I'm especially interested in her relationships with Sasha, Anthony, and the Psy-Council in general, but you could give me a missing moment/backstory and I would love it. And absolutely anything to do with Kaleb and Sahara, past, present, future, is my jam. | letter |
| rosaxx50 | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Jane Drew | Post-series fic dealing with Jane in any capacity is golden. I would be very interested in a scenario where she remembers, with the option of forgetting again, or anything to do with her relationship with the Lady and/or the Greenwitch. | letter |
| rosaxx50 | Lucifer (Comic) | Lucifer Morningstar Mazikeen | ||
| rosaxx50 | Young Wizards - Diane Duane | Anything! Seriously, any of the below would make me smile delightedly: Nita's developing powers, Dairine and Roshaun's weird friendship, origin fic about any of the characters, An Annotated History of [insert your choice of planet here], pages from the Wizarding Manual, the lives of the Quicklives, the life of the trees in Nita's back yard (for reasons), Carl and Tom, cats, any of the Powers. | letter | |
| ose Argent (roseargent) | 悪魔城ドラキュラ Castlevania | Castlevania: Lament of Innocence | Joachim Armster (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence), Walter Bernhard (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence) | Both slash and gen are quite welcome. Any time period is good, but something pre-game would be a huge bonus for me, especially something exploring the origins of Walter and Joachim's relationship (romantic or otherwise) and how it went so wrong. I'd love to see Joachim first becoming a vampire, or more about Joachim's long imprisonment and its effect on his mind. Also interesting would be a look at Walter's reasons for punishing Joachim the way he did instead of just destroying him, and his feelings re: his wayward creation. It might also be cool to see something set after the Dark Palace of Waterfalls level, with Walter reflecting on their history and his feelings after what's happened. | letter |
| ose Argent (roseargent) | Parasite Eve | Aya Brea, Eve (Parasite Eve) | I'm really only interested in the first game (well, and the novel, but I don't expect anyone to have read that), and would very much prefer that stuff from the second game or The 3rd Birthday not feature in the story. But when it comes to the characters as presented in the first game, I'll take almost anything about the relationship between Aya and Eve; femmeslash and gen are both quite welcome. Including information from the EX-Game "Chrysler Building" ending would make me incredibly happy but it's such a slog, gameplay-wise, that I totally understand if that's a no go. A canon-what-if AU that allows for a different ending for them would be cool, but so would a piece about them bonding in little stolen moments throughout the chaos, or a piece leaning more towards a romantic or sexual charge to their adversarial relationship. Or something else I haven't thought of! Themes or ideas I'm particularly interested in include the mitochondrial link (also family/blood), how Aya feels about Maya being present in some ways within Eve and what happened/happens to Melissa's consciousness. | letter |
| ose Argent (roseargent) | Final Fantasy Unlimited | Kaze | Kuroki Kaze, Makenshi | Shiroi Kumo | I would love slash for these two, but gen focusing on their friendship would also be lovely. One thing about their relationship that I'm especially drawn to is how, despite Kaze spending almost the entirety of the series amnesiac and trying to kill him, Makenshi never turns on his friend and just keeps hoping that Kaze will return to who he once was. I also really love how they work together so seamlessly with little or no preparation (both the first time and at the end of the anime). I'd be happy with something set at just about any point in the timeline, from pre-series to a post-series AU (I say AU because I'm not terribly fond of what I do know of the untranslated sequels, so if you do happen to be familiar with them I would prefer that you leave them out of the story). I do like what I know about the prequel, though. Makenshi's feelings about Kaze forgetting their past are something I'd love to see explored more, but most of all I'd just like to see more of their relationship and see them get a little more "screen time" together. Especially optional optional detail: if you feel comfortable including Madoushi, I'm also interested in how he would react to knowing how much Makenshi cares for Kaze. | letter |
| ose Argent (roseargent) | Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru | Renjou Hotsuma, Usui Shuusei | Please forgive in advance any incoherence in this request, and please don't take it to mean I want this fandom more or less than any of the others--it's just the newest of my fandoms, and I have had less time to put my thoughts about it in order. I love pretty much all the characters of Uraboku, but Shuusei and Hotsuma are my absolute favourites; I would love slash, but if you don't 'ship them then friendship/partnership gen is perfectly fine too. I'd prefer the story be set in their current lifetimes, and their past lives used only as background information, but other than that I'd be happy with something set at any point in the timeline. I love their early relationship (codependant and insular even while they fail to communicate their feelings to each other), and I love their later relationship (more playful and open but still deeply dedicated). I'm also interested in the way they have to balance their deep connection as Zweilt partners with their loyalty to and love for Yuki, especially now that Yuki is more accessible and closer to them than s/he has been in previous lives. If you choose to write something set later in the manga timeline, I'm particularly interested in the differences between the two times Shuusei has been alone and in peril, both in Shuusei's reactions and Hotsuma's. In the end, though, I would be happy with anything that explores the relationship between Shuusei and Hotsuma. | letter |

I want to see an AU version of this. Space cat? Noir cat? French revolution cat? Or just whatever strikes your fancy. I mean, it's a talking cat that wears boots. There's a lot to go on here. |
letter |
| osencrantz | Gender/Sexbent Disney - Ripushko | I actually don't care which princess you go with. Heck, use one that's not even chosen. I'm trans myself, so I'm a big fan of the gender OR sexbent trope, so the stories with that change is of Interest to me. Especially if the princes are different too. | letter | |
| osencrantz | Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense | Hellboy, Abe Sapien | My ideal time period for this is pre-apocalypse and pre-what the hell have you done with Abe. | letter |
| osencrantz | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Pteppicymon XXVIII | He's my favourite Discworld character, and I'd like to see what happened to him next. I don't care it's gen, het, slash, etc, as long as he's alive and happy at the end. More details in my letter. | letter |
| rosethornli | Adekan | Yoshiwara Shiro, Yamada Kojiro, Yoshiwara Anri | I would super LOVE to see more back story for these characters, especially Kojiro. There have been hints but nothing really determined for him. He is also a riot when he's drunk, so any misadventures there would be much appreciated. I am a grade-A multi-shipper, so any or all of the possible combinations would be lovely, graphic or otherwise <3. I have a soft spot for fluff, so anyone being taken care of domestically/after a fight/etc. is wonderful. I would also appreciate the inclusion of the manga's running gags, ie Shiro running around without his underwear, and so on. Thank you so much, my wonderful Yuletide author! |
|
| rosethornli | Cowboy Bebop | Ed (Cowboy Bebop) | I want to hear about Ed's adventures. I love Ed a lot. So spontaneous and crazy! What else happened on Earth with our resident genius? What other systems were broken into? What else was turned into a toy? Were criminals ever thwarted because Ed wanted to play? I would love a crossover, too, just about anything with Ed running wild, saving the day and/or causing general mayhem. Thanks very much, my wonderful Yuletide author! |
|
| rosethornli | Fate/Zero | What I would love to see is a fic based off of Welcome to Fuyuki (http://welcome-to-fuyuki.tumblr.com/). It's an AU drawn from the imagining of Welcome to Night Vale (http://commonplacebooks.com/welcome-to-night-vale/) where Fuyuki City is the realm of the odd and the unusually is taken as normal. How do people live their lives in Fuyuki? If that's not quite your cup of tea, I would also love a happy ending for anyone. I love Irisveil, Lancer, Sakura, Waver and Rider. Anyone or everyone happy, whole and alive. Thank you very much, my dear wonderful Yultide author! |

| rosethornli | Doctrine of Labyrinths - Sarah Monette | A) I would so love to know what is going on back at the Mirador while Felix and Mildmay are off in Corambis. How is the city holding up? How are politics progressing for Stephen and Mehitabel? What about the lower city, and Cardenio? B) Backstory for any of the minor characters. I would love to know more about what happened to them to make them who they are in detail. Vey Coruscant, Kolhkis, Gideon. How did Mildmay and Cardenio meet? Was Kolhkis a kept thief in her own youth? Why did Mildmay and Felix's mom join a cult? C) Historical drama! One of the things I loved most about the books was how detailed Mildmay's stories were about the past. It was like he was there. Melusine has such a rich, dramatic history, I would love to hear more about it. Thanks very much, my wonderful Yultide Author! |

| rose_griffes | Ultraviolet (TV) | Angela March | I'd really like some fic that includes Angie March. Her careful control interests me; I'd love to know more about what's going on in her mind, or seeing her through someone else's eyes, especially while interacting with the team and/or her daughter. Future fic would be great, as would anything filling in those spaces we didn't get to see. (I'm not a fan of Angie/Pearse as a romantic pair, though I do like them as colleagues and a sort of pseudo-family.) | letter |
| rose_griffes | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | Ista dy Chalion | I'd love to see more of Ista after "Paladin of Souls." I'm interested in her ongoing role as Paladin for the Bastard, in her friendship with Liss, and in her relationship with Illvin. (I'm not averse to babies. It fits the perverse humor and 'out of season' theme of a deity like the Bastard.) Also, Foix and Liss--I'm curious about them as a couple, especially acknowledging his ongoing state of dealing with a demon. | letter |
| rose_griffes | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | James Ellison | One small benefit about shows cancelled too soon is all the space left open for fanfiction. I really want to know what happens next! But honestly, with this show, you could pick almost any character and any moment to embellish, and I would be riveted. I'd really like to have more with James Ellison in particular. | letter |
| rose_griffes | Jericho (US 2006) | Robert Hawkins | My first time watching this series was this year, and I really want to know more about the Hawkins family. All of them have stories that canon didn't take the time to tell, and I'd love to know more about them: past, present, future... any of it. | letter |

| nye | Out of Sight (1998) | Karen Sisco, Jack Foley | Karen and Jack take a time out together. (Including anything that brings to mind, from logistics to effects on Karen's career to it being a secret someone else discovers and the ramifications thereof. The story itself doesn't need to detail the Time Out -- it could be about Karen dealing with being blackmailed over them, for example. Or the story could be nothing but a PWP detailing of the Time Out indeed. I just want the theme to be Karen and Jack's ongoing affair.) | letter |
| nye | Princess and the Frog (2009) | Tiana (Princess and the Frog), Prince Naveen | I admit, the end of the movie leaves me a bit worried about Tiana and Naveen, considering all the history they're about to live through (The Great Depression, WWII, the Civil Rights Movement, and that's just in the US). I'd love to know something happy about their future (bittersweet counts). Charlotte is always welcome, but I decided not to request and therefore require her. | letter |
| nye | Tam Lin (Traditional Ballad) | Janet (Tam Lin Traditional Ballad), Tam Lin (Tam Lin Traditional Ballad) | I'd love to see Janet and Tam Lin getting to know each other in the first few years of their marriage. I'd also love to know about Tam Lin's backstory, how he fell into the Faeries' hands and when (is he from Janet's time, or long long before? From Scotland or from far far away?) and/or see his knowledge of Faery come in useful (perhaps hostilities erupt between Faery and the mortal realm, or between elements of Faery with the mortals caught in the middle). Obviously, this is a selection of ideas, not a list of required elements; if you fit even two of these into a story, let alone ALL of them, I would be astonished as well as delighted. And hey, if none of these appeal (or even if), I would not mind an expansion of the bit in the tale when Janet and Tam Lin have sex. |
letter |
| nye | Coriolanus - Shakespeare | Tullus Aufidius, Caius Martius (Coriolanus) | My introduction to _Coriolanus_ was Ralph Fiennes' 2011 movie, but I went and read the play afterwards, and the slashiness is in the text. SO if you like, please write Aufidius/Coriolanus. And/or, please write anything about Virgilia: being chosen to be Martius' wife (and by whom), living in her husband's mother's shadow, raising her son before, during, and after her husband's tragedy, anything else you might want to write about her. She fascinated me, and Jessica Chastain hinted gloriously at her inner life. Please tell me more if you like. | letter |
| nye | The King Must Die Series - Mary Renault | Theseus (King Must Die Series) | If you write this one for me I will send you one of my drawings of bull-dancers: the world of the Bull-Court and of Minoan Crete has fascinated me for decades. I would love anything about the Bull-Court and its leapers: same-sex love there (Pylia/Thebe? Amazons courting one of the other Athenian girls? Any of the Athenian boys? Amyntor/Theseus?), learning leaping, the Corinthian's backstory, the viewpoint of one of the Minoans on the bright, beautiful, short-lived dancers, anything at all. | letter |
| nye | The Mask of Apollo - Mary Renault | I desperately want Nikeratos to get one lovely kiss from Dion, for all he did for him. But that's not the only story I'd like: I dream of Axiothea and Thettalos scandalizing each other and bonding; of boy-seeming Axiothea impressing Dion; of Dion, Niko, and Thettalos dining together; Axiothea or Thettalos when they're older, remembering their parts in these events; other female philosophers; daily life for Niko with his irrepressability; even crossovers of Niko and compatible fandoms (in the same vein as Penknife's story "The Third Man", a crossover with the Highlander series). These are all things I'd love, and I'd love any one of these. | letter | |
| rueandrosemary | Life (TV) | Dani Reese, Charlie Crews, Jane Seever | I'd love to see something with Dani and Charlie — shipfic or friendship/partners fic. I would love to see something set after the finale — maybe Seever got promoted and was in charge of everyone, or Dani gets partnered up with Seever for a case or two. Or a fic set during S2 where Charlie talks about Dani to Seever or vice versa. Or the three of them working together! I also love all the other characters, so add anybody else you like. | letter |
| rueandrosemary | The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett | Colin Craven, Mary Lennox | I'd love to see a story about Mary and Colin traveling. Maybe they go with Colin's father to the continent, or maybe they travel to India, or someplace in the Caribbean. Seeing them explore places very different than the one they're used to would be fun, and it would be interesting to see what it brought out in them! Either shipfic or friendship fic is fine — feel free to include Dickon too if you can work him in. No WWI stories, please. | letter |
| rueandrosemary | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Susan Sto Helit, Death (Discworld), Lobsang Ludd, Angua von Uberwald | Tell me a story about Susan and Lobsang, and how they deal with their odd families. Or tell me about Death trying to understand what his role in all this is supposed to be — maybe he gets the idea he's supposed to chaperone the two of them. I'd also love to see all four characters I've requested meeting up at Biers or something, and discussing the difficulty of being oddities, even in a very odd world. Feel free to use all four characters or leave some out if you can't include them all. If you want to do shipfic, I prefer Susan/Lobsang or Susan/Angua. | letter |
| rueandrosemary | The Mummy Series | Ardeth Bay, Evy Carnahan (The Mummy), Rick O'Connell (The Mummy) | I'd love to see something that explores the relationship between these three, whether it's with Rick/Evy as a couple and Ardeth as their epic adventures buddy, or as an OT3. I find the whole 'destiny' thing they've got going on in the second movie very interesting, and would love to see that explored — Rick and Ardeth being Madgi, and Evy the constant enemy of Imhotep. I love the ancient Egypt flashback scenes, so something set during that period, with Evy as Nefertiti and Rick and Ardeth as members of her father's guards would be awesome, or something set during the canon period that explores how the three of them are meant to know each other and work together. | letter |
| nespoor | Oban Star-Racers | I would like 1)interactions 2)that are full of the character's emotions 3)with a dash of worldbuilding. One thing I love about the canon is how fraught every discussion is. Intreactions are never gratuitous and always touch more than one level: if Don makes a gesture oward Molly, it's good because he's starting to trust her, but it's bad because he's failing Eva. If Molly calls Jordan partner, he'll wish she also called him something more. Also the worldbuilding and scenery porn is gorgeous and I love the sense of places. Team Earth shenanigans? Molly/Jordan/Aikka rom-com? The scars left in the relationship between Molly and her father? Mentoring between Rick and Molly, the fraught relationship between Don and Rick? The weight of duty, the different ways words such as loyalty and honor are interpreted, and the strain resulting from it? Don and Molly absolutely get in touch with Rick when they come back down - how does that happen? During the series = great. After the series, when things are back to the new normal and people are getting used to them again = also great. |
letter | |
| nespoor | The Girl That's Never Been (song) | How do they get by? I ship Alice and Cheshire and I want to know what happens after the song. Or what Cheshire was up to before. Did he look for her? How literally are we to take his answer anyway? Is there another story for them to jump into - or climb out of? And yes, their relationship. I want that. That questioning, down-the-rabbit-hole, speaking-in-riddles-only-they-can-understand, halfway-out-of-this-world relationship. Like a threat that is also a comfort. Like they only remember they're alive because the other is like the prick of a memory against their skin. Don't hesitate to play with meta and narratives, I eat that sort of things right up. However, keep in mind that my knowledge of Lewis Carroll's works is tragically lacking. |
letter | |
| nespoor | Malaussene Saga - Daniel Pennac | Anything about Jeremy. His relationship with Therese (which I ADORE!) or a nice scene with Julie or a family friend! Five things Jeremy wrote, from the first essay in elementary school that made the teacher afraid of how he was being raised to his diary entries to his second novel! The one time Jeremy thought he was starring in a YA mystery book! Jeremy's crush on a cute boy or nice girl in his class! Outsider PoV on Jeremy - at school or elsewhere! jeremy looking for mentorship! Jeremy being confrontational! I love the kid to PIECES. |
letter | |
| nespoor | Batgirl (Comics) | Brenda Miller (Batgirl) | Preferably non52 future-fic (she was out of Bludhaven when it was destroyed, okay?). Interactions with members of the Batfam or other outsiders who have interactions with the Batfam would be awesome, either in or out of masks. Did she move to Gotham or elsewhere? I imagine the Bats are keeping an eye on her, she was a friend of Cass'. Does Cass come back? Does she become Cass' Alfred way in the future when Cass inherited the mantle of the Bat? | letter |
| nespoor | Baten Kaitos | Xelha (Baten Kaitos) | My raging idealist who is the most accomplished liar in the party. Tell me more about her doubts, about her thoughts during the game - what she hid from the party, what she knew about Kalas and hid as well, what she hid from Kalas - or tell me about the future she builds. Mid-game angstiness is also a good possibility. If you favor interactions with another character, please do! I'd love to read a conversation between Lyude and Xelha about countries and duties and ieadls, for instance. Or to Melodia, about the weight of loneliness. I'm not looking for something that's all introspective, but something about Xelha's contradictions (i.e.: her fantastic propensity for LIES) would be great. I ship Kalas/Xelha a lot. |
letter |
| nespoor | Fire Emblem: Soen no Kiseki/Akatsuki no Megami | Fire Emblem Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn | Micaiah (Fire Emblem) | Give me the future she builds, after the war she's carved out. Give me how her people sees her, and her friends, and the other monarchs. Give me her remorses, the nightmares that haunt her. Give me the proud face she shows others. Give me her relationship with her sister, with those she almost destroyed and who almost destroyed her, with the herons. Give me Sothe, or Pelleas, or Sanaki, Tibarn, Elincia, Soren, Jill, Ike, Naesala. Give me Micaiah from the outside and Micaiah from the inside. Or, you know, Part III angst. That's always good. I love reading about Micaiah's ethics, and the twisting thereof. (I ship Micaiah/Sothe and Micaiah/Sothe/Pelleas and I would ship her with Tibarn or Naesala or Reyson or Leanne because bird tribes, but for politics and sex and friendship and not love.) |
letter |
| russian_blue | Gabriel Knight | Gabriel Knight - Character, Grace Nakimura | I would love some (upbeat) closure for this relationship, following on the developments in Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned. Does Gabriel go after Grace, when she leaves? Does he let her go, and then they run into each other later on when they're going after the same problem? They've been growing up as people (Gabriel especially) and growing closer throughout the series; I'm dying to see that arc completed. More details in the letter! | letter |
| russian_blue | Elfquest | Anything that expands the world, either geographically or historically. A story about a tribe of your own invention, or a historical tale about one of the canonical tribes, or backstory for any of the nominated characters -- all of those are great! Details are, of course, in the letter. | letter | |
| russian_blue | Songs for a New World - Brown | King of the World | What is this guy's story, anyway? The song drops fascinating hints, but doesn't really tell us anything concrete. Who is he, what did he do (or do wrong), and how did he wind up in that jail cell? And what about his family? More thoughts on this topic in the letter . . . . | letter |
| russian_blue | Sengoku Avengers - Genesischant | ANYTHING with these characters. Seriously. Stick them into a historical event, or retell a Japanese folktale with them, or just have them run around the Sengoku era (or any other period of Japanese history you happen to like) doing cool superpowered stuff. Details in my letter are combined with those for Jidaigeki X-Men, since my requests for the two canons are basically identical. | letter | |
| russian_blue | Jidaigeki X-Men - Genesischant | Historical Japanese superheroes FTW! There is no fic for these apart from the backstories the artist created, so really, anything you can think to do with them, I will happily read, so long as it makes use of the shiny new context. Details in my letter are combined with those for Sengoku Avengers, since my requests for the two canons are basically identical. | letter | |
| russian_blue | The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones | Christopher Chant | How exactly did Christopher break in and steal his life out of Gabriel's safe, prior to Conrad's Fate? Alternatively, what would happen if all three nine-lived enchanters (Christopher, Gabriel, and Cat) had to work together to deal with some problem? Alternatively alternatively (and a long shot) -- what if Christopher met Jamie Hamilton, from The Homeward Bounders? You know where to find the details . . . . | letter |

| ryfkah | 7 Seeds | Iwashimizu Natsu, Nijiko (7 Seeds), Shishigaki Ran | My favorite things about 7 Seeds are the female friendships, and the team-building, and all the small human frustrations of the apocalypse, and how everyone grows into themselves as a person. I would love ensemble-fic for Team Summer B or Team Mashup Autumn-Summer A, or character development fic for any of these characters. . . or fic about Ran and Nijiko being rivals with let's say unconventional morals who learn to respect each other and/or make out. ANY OF THAT STUFF. | letter |
| ryfkah | 20世紀少年 | 20th Century Boys (Manga) | Koizumi Kyoko, Endo Kanna, Ichihara Setsuko | I crave Twentieth Century Teen Girl Squad fic! What about that time that they utilized Kanna's +10 charisma and Kyoko's obsessive knowledge of Japanese post-apocalyptic bandom to organize a music concert together to save the world? Alternately, I would love anything about Lawyer Setsuko's efforts to take down the Friend regime via EXTENSIVE LEGAL LOBBYING. | letter |
| ryfkah | The Summer Prince - Alaya Dawn Johnson | June Costa, Bebel (The Summer Prince) | I would love to see more of June and Bebel's relationship, especially postcanon! Whether that stays as friendship-rivalry or something more is up to you; I ship it, but you don't have to. I'm also really interested in how June balances her new role with her self-identity as an artist, so if you're not into Bebel I would love to see more anything more about June's adjustment, and how Palmares Tres is adjusting, too. | letter |
| ryfkah | 불의 여신 정이 | Goddess of Fire | Shim Hwa-ryeung, Son Haeng-soo | I am SO FASCINATED by Haeng-soo, Pottery Mafia Boss. Like, this is a woman who negotiates with the movers and shakers of the realm and runs a huge shady empire based on pottery! Please tell me more about the underground pottery mafia, and about Hwa-ryeung's years under Haeng-soo's tutelage, growing into becoming the Next Top Pottery Mafia Queen. | letter |
| ryfkah | The Provenance Game - Freya Marske | Bronwyn Flax | I love Bronwyn and I'd love to see any more of her archival adventures or her relationship with her family, but I also just super love this world and this LIBRARY MAGIC. What do other super dangerous archival missions look like? | letter |
| chi | Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Detective Diary (Manga) | Ikari Shinji (The Shinji Ikari Detective Diary), Nagisa Kaworu (The Shinji Ikari Detective Diary) | I really want a happy ending for Shinji. Kaworu is so sweet and a jerk and awesome. I know this is only going to be two volumes, so please please please I'd love beyond words gen mysteries with Kaworu pushing Shinji around (lovingly) and Shinji being kind of useless except where he's actually pretty smart when he lets himself be. I do ship it (duh), and I don't mind at all snuggly love or sex or sleep overs, but what I love most about this is the way the AU allows for Shinji and Kaworu to have magic adventures without the entire world melting. |
letter |
| chi | Dragon Prince Trilogy - Melanie Rawn | Sioned of River Run, Ianthe of Princemarch | I love everything this series chooses to be. It's fun and cheesy and fantasy, which the best thing in the world. I've always thought that Ianthe had a serious hate-crush on Sioned and part of the reason she was so vicious and fucked up was that whole "you must marry a guy and expand the empire or your useless" thing when maybe she didn't want to do that. Ianthe's always been one of my favorite characters because she's brilliant and ruthless and clearly takes joy in clever plans that go well. Of course, being the villain in a cheesy fantasy, she got no depth whatsoever, aside from that whole sexually liberated, taking male consorts thing (which is AWESOME, okay.) Sioned is also awesome and brilliant and kick ass. Her hesitance in the first book while she decided what she really wanted to do was pretty great, as was the fact that she promptly made friends with Tobin and pretty much every character not designated "villain". It seems like up through Ianthe's death, they're playing a game of brinkmanship. (Which isn't to say I don't like Sioned and Rohan together. They're bookTP and totally awesome.) As for prompts, I normally prefer plotty fic to introspection. I feel like the whole sunrunner thing lends itself well to espionage, so political thriller, or murder mysteries or something would be great. If you want to do plot-what-plot involving these two-- either sex or just the sort of dancing around/pigtail pulling that would be great. Threesomes with Rohan-- also acceptable! Hell, if you want to do an AU where they end up together instead of Sioned marrying Rohan-- or alternately, an AU end to the trilogy, where Ianthe never died in the fire. Or something where she knew about her powers all along. Or Sioned, I don't know, realizing she kind of did think Ianthe was attractive. NOTE: I have only read the first book in the second trilogy. :( Please don't reference stuff from after that, if you end up writing futurefic. |
letter |
| chi | Kurosagi Shitai Takuhaibin | Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service | This series cries out for gen fic. Maybe a mystery where they don't use their powers? Or a huanted house that's not a haunted house. Scary stories are my bag, baby. If you like that sort of thing, go for it. Feel free to try and scare me. If you like to write non-scary stories, crime-fighting adventures are nice, but a totally fluffy "here's how they hang out in their free time and keeping failing to hold onto jobs" fic is also great. ALTERNATIVELY, I ship everyone/everyone-- SERIOUSLY. So, if you'd rather write shippy fic, I'd be happy. I know the series doesn't like to do that kind of fanservice, but sexytiems or awkward first dates (or Numata and/or Karatsu and/or Yata getting really drunk and sloppy makeouts) also appeals. I guess my only thing is that I'm not big on really really angsty fic. Some angst is okay, but happy endings, plz. Certainly no main character death, even if it is a series about dead bodies. If you've read the spinoff series, feel free to reference Yaichi's past-- I'm slowly making my way through it (gah, my Japanese is terrible), and don't mind spoilers. |
letter | |
| chi | Magic Kaitou | Kuroba Kaito | Kaitou Kid, Hakuba Saguru | I've been trying to decide who to request because I love everyone, and Kaito's relationship with Aoko is adorable and Akako is scary and awesome and and bad ass, and I love the girls. But I really do ship Hakuba and Kaito kind of a lot. And my thief/detective bias is strong with this one. So, I'd love a gen story of crime fighting and Kaito stealing, and if there is Black Organization shenanigans and Kaito pulling the wool over Hakuba's eyes, that would be a bonus. If you'd rather write about Kaito trying (and maybe failing) to confess to Hakuba that he's Magic Kaitou, that's be great. Or Hakuba trying to learn magic tricks. Or Akako being her sneaky self and trying to enchant Kaito and Hakuba having to save him. Or Kaito and Hakuba getting kidnapped and the girls saving them! Basically, banter and snark is my life's blood, and mysteries and adventures are my favorite things. |
letter |
| chi | MaMa Beat - LC9 (Music Video) | o, why DO they have a crazy fight club with powers? Are they rival gangs, or dumb boys with anger and emotion riding them? Did they suddenly wake up with crazy powers and athleticism, or are we talking performance-enhancing-crazy-powers drugs? Tell me more of this backstory, tell me more about this world. This video is a gigantic nostalgia trip into all those other feelings I have about dumb teenagers being amazing, violent, and utterly unafraid of their own power and immortality. That, and the crazy powers. What is Dynamite? A drug? A random occurrence or accident? Is this the first time they've done this? Don't be afraid to be goofy and over the top-- remember, they end the video laughing, so the one specific detail I'd really love to keep is that they're all friends. |
letter | |
| chi | Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist | William Twining, Mycroft Swallow | Yes, let's request the non-magical beings for once. I really love Swallow and his (general) obliviousness to the weird demon/angel fight going on. I feel like William sees Mycroft as both a friend and a rival-- they do favors for each other, cover for each other, joke around. They're both Prefects and trying to become head boy. So I'd love to see Mycroft being worried about William's distraction (due to Dantalion et al), and trying to find out what's going on. Or William supporting him after the whole Eligos/party/father dissolving into dust thing. Or if you want to sideline the supernatural stuff, Mycroft and William's first time-- I'm all over boarding school boys making out. It can be either before or after Dantalion shows up, but really I'm of the opinion that William is not as into Dantalion as Dantalion is into him. And if you like Dantalion/William, I'd love for there to be some "Mycroft clearly loves William for himself, but it's not sure if Dantalion sees William or Solomon". I'm also all for functional threesomes. |

| r_lee | Cowboy Bebop | I love, love, love this canon. I will take a piece about any of the nominated characters, so consider this as me just throwing out ideas: Gren and Julia and their time in Blue Crow. Vicious and Spike as young upcoming Syndicate hit-men. Faye and Ed having a sisterly moment. Faye and Jet post-canon: did they stay together or drift apart? Spike and Julia, in those moments canon doesn't show us during their reunion. Spike and Julia or Spike and Julia/Vicious before Vicious went to Titan or just after his return. A look at Annie and Spike and their friendship. Annie's relationship with Mao and the Syndicate. Spike and Jet, becoming bros. Gren and Faye and everything those two episodes leave unspoken. The possibilities are endless, and you might have even better ideas than any of these, or you might want to combine some of them. Tell me about the characters, give me glimpses into their hearts, I will love it. More details in my letter. |

| r_lee | Twin Peaks | Laura Palmer | Everyone thinks they know Laura Palmer but nobody really does. She's the catalyst for everything that happens during the series, but even her best friends only knew little bits and pieces of what she was like. I would appreciate it if you could round out the picture for me: show me a fully-balanced picture of who exactly Laura was, what drove her to do the things she did. I know if I were in her shoes I'd be crazy, so... was she? If not, how did she withstand the pressure? This is one request where you can go as dark as you need to go, considering the source material. (Even more details and suggestions in my letter.) |
letter |
| r_lee | Baccano! | I'm good with any of the nominated characters! Here are some suggestions to get you going: a story about Nice and Jacuzzi as children, either before or after the accident. A future scenario (as far in the future as you want to go) with Isaac and Miria. A nice quiet moment with Ennis and Firo, maybe when she realizes she's losing some of her homonculus rigidity. A look at the life of Claire and Chane post-canon. Any of them post-canon. Again, more details in the Dear Yuletide Writer letter. |

| r_lee | John Dies at the End - David Wong | John Cheese | What's John's story? Feel free to include as many characters as you like from the book. (See my letter for my fic likes/dislikes and more.) |
letter |
| r_lee | All American Tooles (Short Film) | I confess I watched this because of Michael Trucco, and think his Todd Toole is one of the best ridiculous characters ever created. From the t-shirts to the retainer to squelching how angry he is with fatherhood to hiding his smoking, there's either a whole lot more to him or a whole lot less. What do you think? How did he and Cindy come to be married? What on earth made them decide to become parents, and how can they afford all that state-of-the-art stuff? Alternately, you can tell me what happens next. Or you could give me a look into Feita corporation, and where Dr. Vermillion really fits into the picture. Now things get even crazier. The ending of the film reminded me so much of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind that I have this theory: when Mary from Eternal Sunshine busted Lacuna, Patrick went off to work at Feita with their monitoring system... if you write me that, I will have the biggest smile on my face come Christmas morning. More details in my letter. |

| r_lee | Lost in Translation (2003) | Bob Harris, Charlotte (Lost in Translation (2003)) | I would love a fic centered on Bob and Charlotte, although I would be delighted if the fic included any of the other characters from the film. When Bob tells Charlotte at the bar that he's going to make a break for it and asks if she's in or out, she says she's in. What would it be like if they had made their big getaway? Would they have stayed in Japan? Left the country? Gone to Charlie Brown's place and holed up? What would the repercussions have been with John? With Lydia? Would she still have gone for the burgundy carpet? If they're not making their getaway -- if that idea does nothing for you -- then I sure wouldn't say no to a character study about either or both of them. They seem like such an unlikely pair. What is it about Bob that attracts Charlotte? What is it about her that makes him feel alive again? More thoughts on Lost in Translation in my letter (you saw that one coming). |

| SadieFlood | Jurassic Park (Movies) | Alan Grant, Billy Brennan | I really love these characters and their friendship (and, uh, I ship it) and would love anything you wanted to write about them. Caveat: I'm not crazy about mush, porn, or stories where Alan is all, "Woe, I am old." I didn't put her on the character list, but it's cool if you want to include Ellie. Or anyone else from the film series! |
letter |
| SadieFlood | Longmire (TV) | Walt Longmire, Victoria "Vic" Moretti | I ship it. Like, a lot. You don't have to ship it; I'm cool with friendship if that's all you see. I don't have any knowledge of the books. Go crazy! I will love anything. | letter |
| SadieFlood | New Year's Eve (2011) | Ingrid (New Year's Eve (2011)), Paul (New Year's Eve (2011)) | I love this movie so much. Every second of it. Critics be damned! One of the things I love about it is that all of the pairings in the movie are totally off-the-wall, and the pair I love the most is the most bizarre. Yeah, I ship it. You don't have to. I would be 100% thrilled with anything! | letter |
| SadieFlood | White House Down (2013) | John Cale, Carol Finnerty | I would love a post-movie fic about these two. How do they work together after the events of the movie? Where is Carol going to spend Thanksgiving now? Does Emily idolize Carol, given her White House obsession? (Again, I will love anything. Gifts are awesome!) |
letter |
| Sage (sageness) | 16th Century CE RPF | William Shakespeare (16th Century CE RPF), Christopher Marlowe (16th Century CE RPF), Anne Shakespeare (16th Century CE RPF) | Things I would love to see: Kit Marley successfully faking his own death. Kit having a glorious romp through Europe while his enemies believe him dead. Kit having a wonderfully torrid affair with Will. Kit having a wonderfully torrid affair with Will and Annie. Love and creativity and passionate words and travels through fascinating settings. An empowered, smart, happy, loving Anne. DNW: jealousy, misogyny, deathfic, heavy angst. |
letter |
| Sage (sageness) | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Angua von Uberwald, Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax, Samuel Vimes | Choosing characters for Discworld is REALLY hard. I picked these 3 in order to increase the odds of matching with someone willing to write Watch or Witches characters. I'm good with All Watch or All Witches, or with some overlap, if that strikes your fancy. I love Sam Vimes, Angua, Littlebottom & Detritus. I also love Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Tiffany Aching, and the Feegles. I'm much less invested in the other books in the verse (sorcerers, death) compared with these. I don't have any specific prompts here. Humor is good, as would be a story where the heroes solve a case/resolve a problem. There'll be more in my letter after I poke at it a little. |
letter |
| Sage (sageness) | The Muppet Show | I would love anything, be it Kermit backpacking across Europe or the Muppet Show becoming the Statler and Waldorf show. Or if you want to bring in a crossover as their special guests? Avengers, maybe? Steve trying to defend Miss Piggy's virtue from Tony? Steve and Tony being sent out on a USO tour with the Muppets? *g* Really, I'm good with anything. :) | letter | |
| Sage (sageness) | Princess Bride (1987) | I would love a role-inversion story, where Westley was the pampered prince and Buttercup was the maid of all work who then went off to become the Dread Pirate Roberts. I want a genuinely badass Buttercup who saves Westley's life a lot, and then has to decide whether Westley's worth sticking around for -- because she's seen enough of the world by now that she knows she has options. | letter | |
| Sage (sageness) | Promethean Age Series - Elizabeth Bear | Lucifer (Promethean Age), Anne Shakespeare (Promethian Age Series), William Shakespeare (Promethean Age) Christopher Marlowe (Promethean Age) | I love these characters. I would be delighted with any combination of Kit/Will/Annie. I'm good with any combination of Kit/Will/Lucifer, and also Kit/Will and/or Kit/Lucifer. (Please no Annie/Lucifer unless there's a strong plot reason for going there that also somehow doesn't involve her eternal damnation.) I'm as happy to see them in 16th-17th Century England (or the Continent) as in Faerie. Something involving a quest on behalf of a queen might be fun. Pick and choose any of these characters, really, but I believe in polyamory here. DNW: deceit, misogyny, jealousy, non/dub-con. Dear Yuletide writer, I do have some triggers/squicks, so please follow the link to my Dear Writer letter. Thank you! I hope you have a lovely Yuletide! :) |

| SalemDae_45 | Being Human (UK) | Hal Yorke, Tom McNair, Alex Millar | et Post-Series 6. Less than three days, the world is about to end. A comet is heading towards earth and there is not enough time to stop it. I would like a story where we get to see how Tom, Hal, and Alex reacts to the news and how they spend the last remaining days on earth. Optional: a little Hal/Tom or Alex/Hal shippy moments. Would like to see Tom, Hal, and Alex watching the comet heading towards them. |
|
| SalemDae_45 | Deception (TV) | Vivian Bowers, Julian Bowers, Joanna Locasto | 1) "Joanna loves Julian, but she loves Vivian more." 2) Joanna meets Vivian on last time (perhaps a year before Vivian's death). They argue, renew their friendship and explores a more intimate relationship. They spend the night together and Vivian begs Joanna to stay with her. Joanna refuses and leaves. A year later...the show starts. Optional: You can combine 1 and 2 or you don't have to follow the prompts. As long as it's a bittersweet Joanna/Vivian love story. |
|
| SalemDae_45 | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Luke Morales, Jennifer Mills | 1) Threesome fic. Ichabod/Abbie/Luke. Go wild with this idea. 2) A happy Abbie and Jennifer fic. On the show we've seen Jennifer and Abbie tragic past, but I want a story where we get to see happily times between them. It can't all be sad and gloom. Optional: Amaze me! |
|
| SalemDae_45 | Velvet Goldmine | Curt Wild, Brian Slade, Arthur Stuart, Mandy Slade | 1) Mandy Slade tells Arthur about the time she, Curt Wild, and Brian had a threesome. That's when she notice some clues that there is something more between Wild and Slade. 2) Somehow Curt and Arthur spend the night with each other at the end of the movie. Curt tells his side of the story, including his relationship with Brian. 3) Brian and Curt see each other one last time before Brian reinvents himself. It doesn't end well. Optional: Combination of all of them. Anything goes. |
|
| SalemDae_45 | Do No Harm | Ian Price, Jason Cole | Instead of Jason having a split personality disorder, Jason Cole and Ian Price are twin brothers. Jason is the "good twin" and Ian is the "bad twin." I would like a story that explores the relationship between Jason and Ian. How it evolves from plain old sibling rivalry into a dominant/submission, obsessive incestuous relationship. Like each brother can not escape from the other hold. Optional: If you do not like incest, then you can write about how their relationship change from sibling rivalry to a controlling, obsessive relationship (e.g. Jason love for his brother outweighs the risks of ruining his career. Ian hatred for his brother makes him want to control Jason's life). A twisted ending with moral ambiguity on both brothers (whose really the good twin and whose really the bad twin). Leave everything else to the author. |
|
| alifiable | American Girls: Samantha - Various Authors | Samantha Parkington, Eddie Ryland | I'd love to see a story where Samantha grows up, and the kind of woman she turns out to be. In particular, I'd love to see her being a full-blown activist during the Progressive Era, and still being best friends with Nellie and Jenny even though her wealthier friends think she's peculiar and gauche for keeping those friendships. Maybe she takes up suffragism, maybe she takes up work reform, whatever you think fits! I've included Eddie Ryland because I think there's the possibility of an antagonistic, push/pull romantic relationship between Samantha and Eddie once they've both grown up, a la Beatrice/Benedick. If that idea inspires, then I'd love to see the story of their relationship developing as adults. But if not, I do want to say that any story about Samantha being a decent, kind, and principled young woman would be wonderful. |
letter |
| alifiable | This Is Where It Starts (Commercial) | Ben Watkins, Meng Ling | This commercial has so much untapped potential! I would love whatever stories this ad inspires you to write; slash would be wonderful, but honestly I would also love gen as long as the story focuses on Ling and Watkins' rivalry and relationship to each other. Sports archrivals are one of my favorite tropes. Even though two people may be incredibly fierce competitors, in the end your rival may be the person who can best understand who you are and what drives you, what pressures and obstacles you deal with. | letter |
| alifiable | Mansfield Park - Jane Austen | Fanny Price, Susan Price, Henry Crawford | o I have to admit, I was never the biggest fan of Fanny ending up with Edmund. I'm intrigued by the idea of Fanny and Henry finding happiness together, although Henry would obviously have to grow up and reform his character quite a bit before the two of them could really be happy as a couple. I'd love an AU about Henry growing up and how his courtship of Fanny influences him and his character for the better. And I think that converse is true as well, I think that Henry has the potential to bring Fanny more into society and help her bloom there. If you find that writing Fanny/Henry isn't to your taste, I'm also interested in how Susan Price turns out; her nature is obviously different from Fanny, with her 'fearless disposition and happier nerves', and I'm wondering what she makes of growing up at Mansfield Park. Anything exploring Susan's future after the end of the book would be wonderful - how does she find love? Does she find Mansfield Park too small for her? Where does she go afterwards? |
letter |
| alifiable | The Heat (2013) | Shannon Mullins, Sarah Ashburn | I loved, loved, loved this movie; I pretty much laughed like a loon from beginning to end. I'd love to see the further adventures of Ashburn and Mullins in Boston. How does Ashburn adjust to living in Boston? How does Mullins' reconciliation with her family go? What do Ashburn and Mullins do when they hang out for fun? Does Ashburn go on to expand her found family? Who are they, and how does she do it (entirely unintentionally, of course)? If you have the inclination to write case fic, that would be wonderful and I would eat it up with a spoon, but anything about these two awesome women being awesome together would be amazing. | letter |

There's so much unresolved sexual tension smouldering underneath the mutual antipathy and hatred! Will elaborate further in my letter with lots of gushing and some plot bunnies. | letter |
| Sandrine Shaw (Sandrine) | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Crystal Reed (Teen Wolf RPF), Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf RPF) | Crystal and Tyler are all kinds of adorable and sweet together and would probably make the cutest couple ever, so... any fic about them (more or less accidentally) falling in love? Picspam, gushing and further flailing in the letter. | letter |

| Sandrine Shaw (Sandrine) | Trust Me (TV) | Simon Cochran, Mason McGuire | I'd love to see some Mason/Simon slash! Maybe after the series final - things are bound to get interesting between them now that Simon is the boss and Mason is working under him (pun fully intended ;p). More details in the letter. | letter |

I'd love to see a story about Rachel and Monica's friendship - high school to college to how close they became in the first season and bonding with Phoebe. And Chandler's my favorite, so I'd love to see him. I'm hardcore Monica/Chandler lobsters but I would not mind Rachel/Monica or Monica/Phoebe fun times. |

I just adored this show and am so sad it was cancelled! |

| ansets | X-Men (movies) RPF | Patrick Stewart (X-Men (Movies) RPF), Ian McKellen (X-Men (Movies) RPF) | I have been charmed by their friendship for YEARS, but recently, they just seem to have stepped up the adorable to 11. I would be up for just about ANYTHING - unrequited pining, being platonic lifemates, unexpected poly relationships, AUs where they are space pirates, fic from when they were young, unabashed curtain fic - seriously, anything that strikes your fancy, I will be charmed by, simply because they are both in it. \0/ | letter |
| ansets | Pearl Harbor (2001) | Danny Walker, Rafe McCawley, Evelyn Johnson | I would very much like to see an AU where Danny doesn't die, because I ship the three of them as an OT3 LIKE BURNING, and there is something really compelling about the idea of how they would work their relationship out, given all of the complications from the movie. But if that's not a direction that you're inclined to go, I also ship all three of the twosomes involved, I'd just like to request no unrequited pining from whoever isn't involved in the romantic relationship. I'd also be terribly pleased to see something that focuses on Evelyn, because I think that she is GREAT and I want great things for her. \0/ | letter |
| ansets | Marvel Avengers Movies RPF | Robert Downey Jr. (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF), Susan Downey (Marvel Avengers Movies RPF) | My canon for this request is basically non-existent (Susan seems to be a bit more spotlight shy than her husband, NOT THAT THAT WOULD TAKE MUCH) and for that, I must apologize. But I find myself entirely fascinated by the bits of their relationship that we can see, especially in light of Robert's epic bromances with his male costars. Do they have an open relationship? Are they really just BFFs with benefits? Do they just love picking people up together? Whatever the case is, they seem to be really quite happy with each other and their status quo, so as long as they are happy and together, I will be 100% pleased by this fic! | letter |
| ansets | Sound of Music (1965) | Maria von Trapp, Georg von Trapp | A group of friends and I were watching this recently, and I think that all of us were entertained and delighted at just how damned kinky this movie is when viewed through a fannish lens. (The uniforms! The whistle! The way that Maria and Georg pretty much exclusively refer to each other by their titles!) So my request is really just to play with Maria and Georg's relationship as one with a consensual power imbalance that they both are surprised by how into it they are. But if kink is not your thing, I would ALSO be deeply delighted by anything focused on Maria's transition from one vocation (that of the religious life) into another (that of being a wife and a mother) because I LOVE Maria and her heart and her bravery, and pretty much anything involving her is going to be made of win. | letter |
| ansets | Dirty Dancing (1987) | Frances "Baby" Houseman, Johnny Castle, Penny Johnson | The thing that always strikes me the most about this film is how much I want to know what happens to everyone in the future. Also that Penny and Baby and Johnny should totally hook up, because that would be AMAZING. So if you were inclined to try to write threesome future fic, that would be EPICALLY amazing. But if you're not threesomely inclined, I'd really love to see something about Penny, because I love her a LOT and I want good things to happen to her. | letter |
| ansets | The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern | Penelope Aislin "Poppet" Murray, Bailey Alden Clarke, Winston Aidan "Widget" Murray | These are three characters that just seem to be weird about each other. However you interpret that weirdness is entirely up to you (Threesomes or flirting or any combination of the twosomes or abnormally close BFFs!) And I'm also totally in LOVE with the setting, so what I think I'm most interested in is seeing how their relationship(s) and the future of the circus play out. But god, anything set in this beautiful universe would make me giddy, because MAGIC AND DREAMS AND THE POWER OF STORYTELLING. *___________* | letter |

I'd also love a story that is Emmett- or Bay-centric with the other playing a supporting role. | letter |

What did she think the first time she looked at herself in the mirror dressed as a boy? What was it like to enter the locker room? What does gender mean for her in this situation. That being said, Jake/Hamilton was my first ship, so if you offered Hamilton too, I will always be happy with any story about the two of them. | letter |

| arken | Dallas (2012) | Ann Ewing | I adore Ann and would love to know more about her relationship with any of the nominated characters. Pairing-wise, I really like Ann/Bobby and Sue Ellen/Ann and am a firm believer in resolving shipping conflicts like that with OT3s, so Ann/Bobby/Sue Ellen would be awesome. | letter |
| arken | MASH (TV) | Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan (Mash TV) | I haven't seen a lot of Margaret-cenric fic from the early seasons, so I would love something from that era or even something pre-series. Margaret is my favorite character and M*A*S*H is my favorite show, though, so I'm game for any story you want to tell whether it's gen or shippy. | letter |
| arken | Real News RPF | Rachel Maddow (News RPF), Keith Olbermann (News RPF) | I'd really love to see them as friends again, whether that means fixing what's currently broken, ignoring that it's broken, or writing something that takes place before it all went to hell. | letter |
| Sarren | The Champions (TV) | Craig Stirling, Sharron MacReady, Richard Barrett | "Telepathic pain” is how they describe it, when one gets hurt and the others feel it. I love that when Richard kisses a girl, Craig smiles. I love that their partnership is professional, but that they care about each other. I love the fact that the three of them are so intertwined, psychically. What I'd really love is a fic that showcases that relationship. It could a fic where they realise that they will always be the most important people in each other lives and live happily ever after together, either in a sexy threesome, or in a platonic co-dependant way. Or a mission fic with lots of hurt/comfort and depending on each other and "smarm”. Or if you personally don't see their relationship that way, I'd love a fic where Tremayne Finds Out. Tremayne didn't get to the head of an organisation like Nemesis by being an idiot. He has to know there's something special about the three of them. The way one or two of them regularly burst into his office claiming to know that the other/s is in danger, the freaky way they get seemingly impossible things done. |
letter |
| Sarren | Echte Kerle!!! | Regular Guys (1996) | Christoph Schwenk, Edgar (Echte Kerle) | I would love to see Chris realise that he CAN be gay for Edgar. Maybe having him ineptly attempt to woo Edgar might be fun? Or if you have another idea you'd like to run with, that's awesome too. I generally prefer character driven rather than PWPs - I like hot porn as much as the next slasher but I like a believable exploration of how the characters get there so it certainly doesn't have to be detailed. But because Chris has had to completely reassess his identity and ability to have sex with a man, I wouldn't mind some insight into what he's feeling when he does take the leap. If you don't want to write them getting together that's cool, but it'd be awesome if Chris and Edgar's friendship could be a main focus. Whatever you choose to write will be awesome as long as you have fun writing it. | letter |
| Sarren | Saturday Night Live | Stefon (Saturday Night Live), Seth Meyers (Saturday Night Live) | OMG OMG OMG - a great event in slash fandom - a slash pairing actually becoming canon! These two are just completely adorable together. I am all about the happy! and the cute here! Some suggestions - I'd like to read about Stefon's life as a married man. How he spends his days now he is married. - How Stefon inducts Seth into his 'five-timers club' - Stefon introduces Seth to his folks. I'd just like to clarify that the Seth Meyers who married Stefon is a fictional persona, therefore please don't include any RL characters outside of the Weekend Update universe (eg Seth's RL wife/then girlfriend). |

| Sarren | Power of Three - Diana Wynne Jones | Gair (Power of Three) | I just specified Gair because I figured it was a bit tricky with 7 kids and only four of them specified, I didn't want you to feel locked into writing those specific four. Although I would definitely be happy to have Gair a central part of the story like in the book, any combination of some or all of the kids will make me very happy. I'd love a fic where the kids have grown up and fulfilled their potential and are allies/friends, but basically any fic revolving around the friendship of the kids would be awesome. For an ENTIRELY OPTIONAL prompt for if you like a lot of detail: I like the idea of Gerald becoming Gair's trusted advisor, maybe even living among the People, at least some of the time. I was thinking gen fic for this, but if you decide to write them as grown ups, and are inspired to write a pairing and you feel you can achieve this while keeping the tone of the book, that's fine. |

| Sarren | Hogan's Heroes | Robert Hogan, Wilhelm Klink | Colonel Klink FTW!!!! I like to believe he's sekritly reasonably competent - after all, he was a pilot in WWI. I am all about a Hogan and Klink relationship. Slash would make me happy, but so would the type of deep friendship forged by shared hardship that you know will last a lifetime. Some completely optional ideas to play around with or mix and match... - Klink's known all along and has been sekritly protecting them. - A mission goes wrong and Klink has to protect/rescue them. - What happens at the end? Do they stick it out to protect Klink and Schultz etc when the camp is liberated or are they ordered to escape en masse before then? How do they spin it so Klink isn't blamed? If you'd really rather not write Klink, and I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, I absolutely have a heap of other ideas - if you want to write Hogan/Newkirk or Hogan/Kinch, I could be on board with that, or a gen getting-into-trouble fic, or what happens at the end of the war etc, all would be good, though I do really, really like fics to be relationship driven - either friendship or slash (no het, please!) |
letter |
| Sarren | MASH (TV) | Charles Emerson Winchester III, Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce (Mash TV) | Winchester was my favourite character. I loved the growth his character went through. I personally slash Hawkeye/Winchester but I realise that this is one of those weird pairings that makes most people look at me sideways, so please don't feel in the least obliged to. If you do want to give it a go and would like a (completely optional!!!) prompt - maybe Hawkeye finds out that Winchester is gay (repressed much?) and finds it mildly amusing and maybe occasionally sly alludes to it, so that Winchester knows he knows and gets all strung out about it, but Hawkeye doesn't really care and doesn't realise that he's pushing too hard... BUT, I would also completely love a fic where Hawkeye and Winchester are forced depend on each other in a way that creates a bond, or find out something about each other that makes them realise they have something in common and makes them friends, or maybe they meet after the war and become BFFs then. |
letter |
| asha_b | King Arthur (2004) | Lancelot (King Arthur (2004)), Arthur Castus (King Arthur (2004)) | I'm a big shipper of these two and would love any kind of hurt/comfort etc. Not a fan of MPreg. Thank you so much! | |
| asha_b | Walking Dead (Comics) | Rick Grimes (Walking Dead Comic), Carl Grimes (Walking Dead Comic), Andrea (Walking Dead Comic), Michonne (Walking Dead Comic) | Not really a fan of any kind of relationship between Rick and Michonne, and no incest. I have read up through issue 100. | |
| asha_b | Revolution (TV) | Miles Matheson, Bass Monroe | ALL THE TEARS FOR MILOE. *laughs* any pre-lights out stuff would be awesome, but I also love flashbacks. | |
| asha_b | Arthurian Mythology | Lancelot du Lac (Arthurian Mythology), Guinevere (Arthurian Mythology) | Angst is my favorite. | |
| Sashenka | Olympics RPF | Alexander Ovechkin (Olympics RPF), Maria Kirilenko (Olympics RPF) | I'm a Tennis RPF girl, so I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who LOVES Maria. :D And they're so adorable together! I would love an Olympics story about the two of them - hijinks around Sochi sound perfect, and I'd really enjoy something that had Maria really into the Olympics experience as a spectator instead of a participant, lol. Or maybe they hack each other's Twitter accounts? Or fluffy romance curtainfic (porn is awesome but g-rated is cool too). Or Maria trying to teach Ovi tennis/Ovi trying to teach Maria hockey! Ovi being Maria's towel-boy at practice (this happens IRL, hahahaha)! And/or anything domestic with them hanging around their hotel room and watching various Olympic sports on TV and giving each other backrubs and basically anything. :D If you're coming at this from Hockey RPF, that's totally fine, teach me to love hockey! (Like Ovi must have taught Maria.) I'd prefer to have other hockey players play a secondary role, though, if that - I really want Ovi & Maria to be the main characters. |
letter |
| Sashenka | The Sims (Video Games) | I would love a story that focused on the Sims 3 world. (Any city.) I just love the Sims stuff like growing cheese & steaks so you can get Omni plants, hanging out in the graveyard so you can catch Deathfish, Woo-Hoo-ing, tinkering with things to upgrade them, the world-weary sighs when the toddlers don't learn to talk fast enough, the way that everyone always dances around guitars, how you can become a ridiculously wealthy author pretty fast all things considered, the way a fire can start and your Brave sim puts it out and then the fire department gets pissed at you for calling them out for no reason, ETC. Just sims-y goodness makes me happy. :D I'd love a story that focused in on a family. A Sims-based plot would be awesome, but any plot is fine as long as there's tons of Sims-y stuff going on all the time. :D I especially love the Politics, Crime, and Cooking professions, as well as self-employed author-ing, but I love them all. I don't have special inbuilt fondness for any of the in-game characters in particular, so use any of them you please, or feel free to create your own characters! If all things are equal to you, I'd love a focus on women, particularly queer women - as a girl who likes girls all my Sims families always have two moms. |
letter | |
| Sashenka | Damar Series - Robin McKinley | Harry Crewe | I love her to death. Simply love her. I would adore any story you write as long as it's not dark (like, don't kill everyone or torture her or something). Anything pre-book or post-book would be wonderful, or a missing scene from the book itself. Pre-book, how about Harry and her mother (I love her mother, from the little we get to see of her)? Or an extended look at Harry on the ship journey over, reading all those novels the nice lady lent her? During the book/post-book: Harry thinking about her Damarian ancestress. Harry having adventures with her kids - teaching her little girl how to swordfight, giving her little boy a piggyback ride. Harry and Senay, either during the book or afterwards - I love their friendship. Harry and Jack - what about a fuller version of that scene where he becomes a Queen's Rider? Harry and Richard - I'd love them having a quiet breakfast together ten years on and talking about how their lives have changed. Or Harry and Corlath doing just about anything, wherever and whenever. (Corlath is not nominated this year so don't feel you have to include him, but if you felt like writing Harry/Corlath porn I would definitely not say you nay. In fact I would love you forever.) Anything you write about Harry will be hella awesome, author. :) |
letter |
| Sashenka | Tennis RPF | Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic | These two are simply hilarious. Either ship fic or bro-hijinks-fic would make me very happy indeed. I love tennis, obviously, so tennis stuff is great. Maybe they play dubs again and do an actually good job this time! (Or they do a bad job and snipe at each other in their particular version of affection.) Or them hanging out outside of tennis. Or tropey stuff - aliens made them do it, pretend-relationship (that seems like something they might do to play a prank on somebody, haha), woke up being able to read each other's minds, etc. (No a/b/o though, please, or hardcore kinks like sounding/watersports/etc.) If you do romance, "boys who have feelings but aren't aware of them/avoid talking about them/take far too long to realize are mutually returned" is kind of my favourite thing. :D Also porn is always awesome. :D Particularly if it is very Andy & Novakish. :D Please don't bash Andy's girlfriend and/or Novak's fiancee - I'm totally fine if you pretend they never existed, or that they broke up with the boys a while ago, but please don't bash them or have Andy & Novak cheating on them. |
letter |
| Satchelfoot | Slings & Arrows | Richard Smith-Jones Geoffrey Tennant Ellen Fanshaw Maria (Slings & Arrows) | I'm interested in the future of New Burbage and whether Geoffrey ended up having to come back and save the company again. I'm generally not all that interested in shipping or graphic sex, but I'll ultimately welcome anything you want to add to the fandom. Frank and Cyril, even though they're not included in the tag set, are always welcome. | letter |
| Satchelfoot | Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse | Rupert Psmith, Mike Jackson, Rupert Baxter, Eve Halliday | Put Psmith on the case again! Leave It to Psmith is just about the funniest book I've ever read, so I'd love to see him getting back into some kind of mischief. If you have an idea that brings him into contact with other Wodehouse characters, so much the better. | letter |
| Satchelfoot | Howl Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Howl Pendragon (Howl's Moving Castle), Sophie Hatter (Howl's Moving Castle), Peter (Howl Series) Martha Hatter | I've always been curious about the immediate aftermath of Howl's Moving Castle. I've never read either of the sequels, so sticking to the story lines and characters of the first book would probably make the most sense, but feel free to add in later characters if that works best for you. | letter |
| Satchelfoot | Planetary - Warren Ellis | Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner, Ambrose Chase, Axel Brass | I love this series and all the characters in it, so any story revolving around the Planterary organization would be fantastic. I'd especially like an early story of the team getting up to some intergalactic (or interuniversal) mischief. | letter |
| atellites (brella) | Morning Glories | Hunter (Morning Glories), Ike (Morning Glories), Casey Blevins, Jade Ellsworth | A lot happened during Woodrun, and now they're all expected to just go back to classes like nothing happened. How do they deal with this? Who can't deal with it? Does Hunter become some kind of awesome secret courier for the AV Club without telling the other Glories? Do Ike and Jade continue to kiss their way out of trouble? Do Hunter and Jade become pals in the past the way they were in the future? Exactly how much does Casey not remember? Or is it completely unexciting? Do they just fall back into the routine and form a study group and feel deeply guilty about their submissiveness? Or do they not feel guilty at all, because they've been Stockholmed into tranquility? | letter |
| atellites (brella) | Super 8 (2011) | The summer's only barely started when they all watch the alien take off to the skies and leave Lillian behind. So how do the rest of these sweltering days and slow, easy nights come to pass? Do the kids all take a trip to the Cleveland International Film festival at Charles's behest? Does the government swoop in to clean up Lillian and also swear everyone to secrecy? Do some of the kids have to stay at each other's houses for a few weeks while their own houses get rebuilt? Or, alternatively: How did Joe and Charles become friends, and how did they both come to fall for Alice Dainard? | letter | |
| atellites (brella) | Gravity Falls | Dipper and Mabel quickly learn that the rest of their summer in Gravity Falls will not be as calm as they had presumed after moving back to the Shack. OR: Every summer, they come back to Gravity Falls. | letter | |
| atellites (brella) | Parks and Recreation | Ann Perkins | The chronicles of Ann Perkins's pregnancy woes — and, maybe, a few perks to balance them out. Does everyone in the Parks department try to get in on the "give Ann child-rearing advice" party? Are all of their suggestions completely whacko? Does Leslie resolve to be the kid's fairy godmother? Does Ben let it go when Ann has to puke in his limited edition Star Trek wastebasket? I'd just love to see the office gathering around the situation as Ann gets closer and closer to her delivery date. | letter |
| ath | 19th Century CE French Painters RPF | Antoine-Jean Gros (19th Century CE French Painters RPF) | Anything relating to Gros's relationship with Napoleon or his feelings on Romanticism would be wonderful | letter |
| ath | Robot Series - Isaac Asimov | R. Daneel Olivaw, Elijah Baley | While I enjoy the detective stories of the original setting and would love to read more, what is most interesting to me is how the Three Laws affect Baley's perception of Daneel's autonomy/feelings. | letter |
| ath | Arthurian Mythology | Lancelot du Lac (Arthurian Mythology), Gawain (Arthurian Mythology) | My favorite version of the Arthurian cycle is Sir Thomas Malory's 'Le Morte Darthur,' and I'm particularly interested in the feud between Lancelot and Gawain after Lancelot kills Gareth and Gaheris. | letter |
| ath | 19th Century CE France RPF | Alexandre Dumas père (19th Century CE France RPF) | Wild parties, decadence, traveling, and gastronomy | letter |
| Sathanas | Legacy of Kain | Turel (Legacy of Kain) | I'm particularly fascinated by Turel's experiences as a vampire lieutenant and a devolved, possessed deity but backstory on his human life would be excellent too! I love everything about this series so any point in the timeline is fair game and any other characters you'd like to include are totally welcome. As an aside, I've recently developed Serious Interest in Raziel/Turel in all their states of being, so that route is fully open as well! Extra-optional prompts: ambition; the smokestacks; a weapon that no one else can wield. | letter |
| Sathanas | Metal Gear | Vamp (Metal Gear) | o many horrible things have happened to Vamp that it should be heartbreaking, except he's so overtly and gleefully awful that you have to feel like he deserved it all in advance. I think that's great and would completely adore a story in which he continues to be awful. Meanwhile nanomachines may or may not be eating through his brain. Extra-optional prompts: a meaningful gesture; priorities; bad methods, good times. | letter |
| Sathanas | Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time | Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time) | Ganondorf's past, and Gerudo culture in general, have always been so compelling to me. It would be amazing to learn more about the details of his years spent in Koume and Kotake's care, the events that shaped his obsession with the Triforce, or his perspective on the world outside the limits of the desert. Extra-optional prompts: small luxuries, the black horse, there are many kinds of power. | letter |
| Sathanas | He-Man and the Masters of the Universe | Sorceress of Castle Grayskull | Zoar the Falcon | I'd really love to learn more about the Sorceress' perspective on all of the other mystical forces and powers at work on Eternia. She's nearly all-powerful herself and I'm curious to know how that affects her sense of purpose as the guardian of Grayskull. Does she see the world as a puzzle to be solved, a game between players who must be manipulated and influenced, a system that functions without her and can only be watched? Basically I'd adore having insight into her thoughts as she does some scrying on various corners of her strange world. Femslash would be LOVED but is by no means required; my preference leans toward Sorceress/She-Ra in the event that you're interested in this option. Extra-optional prompts: encyclopedic knowledge; the oldest secret she knows; as Zoar, she is free to be a little selfish. | letter |
| Savageseraph | Haven | Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos | I'm a sucker for a good Stephen King story, and Haven has a lot of what I love most about King stories: interesting characters, tense stories, delightful creepiness. The thing that drew me most strongly to the series (which has had some real clunkers mixed in with near perfect episodes) were the main characters: Audrey, Nathan, and Duke. While I disliked the episode where the men were prematurely aged and died in terms of the supernatural elements making sense, I did like the interplay between the three characters in it. I also liked the tension of coming together/to understandings and then being pulled apart that happened in Season Two. This season, I'm loving the way the Nathan/Audrey/Duke triangle is developing, and the way the tension has ratcheted up in the Nathan/Duke (and the Nathan/Audrey). I also like the dynamic Dwight and Duke have going on this season, so something exploring that more would also be cool. Again, a threesome or individual pairings in any combination would be welcome, and I'm totally good with non-con or dub-con. Looking back into Nathan and Duke' relationship and why it went sour might be interesting. Also something that shows the push and pull that has been going on this season would also be nice. Finding out more about the Troubles and seeing how they impact people touched by them also fascinates me. |
letter |
| Savageseraph | Grimm (TV) | Monroe (Grimm), Nick Burkhardt | In Grimm fandom, I'm all about Nick/Monroe, though I'd also like Nick/Sean Renard, but alas, Renard is not in the YT character list. If you want to include him or have some sort of threesome with them, that would be great. I like the tension between the Wesen and human worlds/perspectives and how Nick's position as a Grimm pulls against his job as a cop. I also adore the tensions in Monroe between his "cultured” life and his blutbod nature. | letter |
| Savageseraph | The Mummy Series | Ardeth Bay, Imhotep (The Mummy Series), Anck Su Namun (The Mummy Series), Evy Carnahan (The Mummy) | In this fandom, I'd LOVE, LOVE, LOVE dark, hot kinky non-con or dub-con all the way. No woobie-fying Imhotep's pain at love lost. No, I'd like something deliciously dark and scorching hot. Feel free to wallow in temptation and forbidden desire all the way on this one. I'm fine if you want to set things in the present of the stories or perhaps come up with a story of how Ardeth also had dealings with Imhotep in the past. | letter |
| Savageseraph | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Slade Wilson (Arrow TV), Malcolm Merlyn (Arrow TV) | This was a show I didn't watch until it came out on DVD, but I got hooked. Not only is the landscape of the show (both male and female) exceptionally pretty, but there are all sorts of deliciously dark relationships. For my Yuletide fic, I'd love to see some Oliver/Slade from the island days, the teacher/apprentice dynamic might yield some tasty results. And well, if you'd prefer to write Starling City fic, I'd be all over some twisted Oliver/Malcolm from when Merlynn has Oliver captive. I'd like a fic that's gritty and dark, like the show itself. If your tastes run that way, I'd not object to a threesome, maybe with flashbacks to the island while the main action is happening in Starling City. | letter |
| Savageseraph | Interview With the Vampire (1994) | Lestat de Lioncourt, Louis de Pointe du Lac | I'm all about the Louis/Lestat in this fandom, and I like their relationship tortured and fucked up, drawn to each other but struggling against it. The master/fledgling relationship has some delicious power dynamic issues going on, and since both of them are experts at manipulating people, mind games aplenty would also be nice. I see an edge of dubcon with them, and I certainly wouldn't object to an appearance from Armand. | letter |
| Savageseraph | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary) | The twist the show put on Moriarty on the show was totally delicious, and I'm intrigued by the dynamic between Holmes and Moriarty. It's too much a mindfuck, and then delightfully kinky suggestions of what their sexual relationship entailed have a lot of possibility. Of course, one of my favorite scenes of the first season is the one where Moriarty and Watson face each other down at the restaurant, and I adore that it's Watson who engineers the trap to snare Moriarty. So I'm good with a fic featuring all three, or something that is either Holmes/Moriarty or Moriarty/Watson. | letter |
| catterscroll | 3 Idiots (2009) | Rancchoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad, Raju Rastogi | I ship the characters, but I do also enjoy their friendship of opposites. Tell me about their clashes and how they support each other. All that emotional stuff dealing with the events in the climax of the movie. Further thoughts in my letter linked below if you have the time or interest! |
letter |
| catterscroll | Austin Powers (Movies) | Dr Evil, Scott Evil, Frau Farbissina | I want them to be a dysfunctional family that figures it out. But mostly I want the good Dr. Evil to try and get Scott to no longer be evil with the help of his newly re-found family. Further thoughts in my letter linked below if you have the time or interest! |
letter |
| catterscroll | British Comedy RPF | Russell Howard (British Comedy RPF), Jon Richardson (British Comedy RPF) | Their friendship got broke once upon a time, but before that they were odd bedfellows. Tell me about that! Or tell me about after. I think they're each other foils in a lot of ways so their sheer avoidance of each other and failure at it when mad at each other could be hilarity. Hatesex where they actually fuck when they've stopped liking each other! Or heartwarming reconciliations! Give me any or all of it Further thoughts in my letter linked below if you have the time or interest! |
letter |
| catterscroll | MythBusters RPF | Kari Byron (Mythbusters), Grant Imahara (MythBusters RPF), Tory Belleci (Mythbusters) | I ship these three together, but if poly isn't your speed it's all good. I'm not so into pairings between only two of the three but gen would be great. I think there's lot of thing on the show that could be built off of. Particularly, their pranking of each other! Also I'd really like to see some not quite out-of-character moments, but more like unexpected depths from them! Further thoughts in my letter linked below if you have the time or interest! |

| chwarmerei1 | The Good Wife RPF | Archie Panjabi (Good Wife RPF) | I love Archie to pieces and would be happy with anything about her. Whether it's why everyone adores her and is a little bit in love with her. Or why Julianna Margulies is apparently the only one who hates her and it's because of UST. Let yourself go. Just about anything would please me, very little could offend. |
|
| chwarmerei1 | The Good Wife (TV) | Kalinda Sharma | Kalinda is my favourite TV character of all time. I ship her with Alicia, but I'm happy to read anyone's take on her alone or with anyone. I mean anyone - even Grace. So let yourself go, and persuade me! | |
| chwarmerei1 | Marlows - Antonia Forest | Miranda West | I adore this book series and its take on adolescent female relationships from almost obsessive attachment to enmity. I think Miranda was my favourite character because of her status as outsider AND her 'thing' for Janice alongside her solid bond with Nicola. Tell me anything you think about Miranda. And if you want to take it somewhere, go for it! |
|

| cintilla10 | Anya's Ghost - Vera Brosgol | This graphic novel stole my heart with its beautifully haunting art and smart, sassy characters. I would love backstory, particularly about Anya and Siobhan, and especially about their early friendship. I'm also dying for futurefic -- perhaps where Anya, Siobhan, and Dima become a ghost-hunting team together! Or a wonderful AU where they stumble upon a dragon or a mermaid or an ancient curse! I ship Anya and Siobhan like anything, but am also perfectly happy with gen. | letter | |
| cintilla10 | Victor Victoria (1982) | Victoria Grant, Carole "Toddy" Todd | I adore the relationship between these two characters! Anything that explores their charming, witty friendship would delight me -- I don't particularly ship them, but if you want to convince me, I will follow you down that tunnel. I would especially love to see a continuation of the movie wherein Victoria continues cross-dressing and explores what that might mean for her (yay, queer themes!). I'd also be interested in Toddy's backstory - or else a silly animal transformation AU. Anything would make me happy! | letter |
| cintilla10 | Seraphina - Rachel Hartman | Seraphina Dombegh | The world-building in this book blew me away. I want to know EVERYTHING. I definitely want to know more about the dragons, so anything related to Seraphina figuring out her relationship with her own body/identity, or interacting with other dragons, would be fascinating. I'd also love to know more about what happens next for her in the city! I'm also especially interested in her relationship with music, and would be happy to read more about that. I ship Seraphina with Lucian and/or Glisselda, and am also open to other pairings/moresomes (and gen of course!). | letter |
| cintilla10 | Singin' in the Rain (1952) | Cosmo Brown, Don Lockwood, Kathy Selden | Oh these three! OT3 of my heart. I love the banter, the charm, the wit, the adorableness. If you don't want to write OT3, I'd prefer happy BFF gen to pairings. But I'd love to read anything from an adorably domestic getting together fic to a ridiculous superpowers AU. If they're singing along, it's a bonus! Slice of life with banter and dancing is also delightful. | letter |

| corpiod | Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (video game) | I love all of these characters and I'm so starved for fic of any kind for this game that I'll take anything, honestly. I'd love a story about Nines' past—what was it like to be a boy in the Great Depression, how he became a vampire, what happened to his sire, how he came to lead the anarchs. Or a story about Heather Poe; maybe an AU where she never dies and stays with the playable character, or a story about what happens to her after she's released from the mind control--Is she still addicted to blood, does she ever remember what happened to her? Or simply a missing scene centering on her. I'd also love a story about Mercurio's past, about the incident in NYC that made him leave town, or how he ended up being Lacroix's ghoul, given he seems so level headed. For Isaac, I'm very interested in his relationship with Ash and I'd love to see something about how the relationship developed, or angst after Ash turns, or Isaac finding Ash after the events of the game and taking care of him. I ship them, but it's totally not necessary to write that, I just like the tragedy of their relationship. Or if that's not workable, anything about Isaac being the Baron of Hollywood and how he influences movies or how he influenced classic Hollywood be great. But please feel free to explore the entire universe! I love all the characters, even the small minor ones like Romero or Knox or anyone else, and the world building and vampire politics are fascinating. Anything set in this story universe's would be wonderful! |
letter | |
| corpiod | Bakjwi | Thirst (2009) | I'd love a fix it fic or continuation of the story, where Tae-ju somehow convinces Sang-hyun not to kill themselves or manages to stop him, and instead the two of them have to live with each other and their issues. I'd love a fic where they split up and go their separate ways, only to continuously meet up again over the years, or a fic where they're stuck together and constantly fight and make up and can't seem to leave each other for long. Angst is encouraged, I like them best when they're twisted as hell, just as long as they still love each other--even when they're being monsters and disagreeing with one another at the same time. I'd also be happy with Tae-ju saving herself in some form while Sang-hyun dies; a story with her solo exploring the world and relishing her freedom would be lovely. Alternatively, I was intrigued by Evelyn and would like to know more about her. I'd love a fic exploring her as an immigrant in Korea, where she doesn't speak the language and has mostly her husband for guidance. Maybe some kind of bonding between her and Tae-ju, perhaps pre-movie, given they both seem to be trapped in lackluster marriages. I ship them, so if you wanted to write some kind of experimental comfort sex or kissing, or something twisted between them once Tae-ju is a vampire, I'd be all for it. Maybe even an alternate ending, when Evelyn is turned by Tae-ju and what happens after. |
letter | |
| corpiod | Byzantium (2012) | Anything would be amazing! Perhaps some backstory about all the years Eleanor and Clara spent together, or the time immediately right after Eleanor was turned--how did she adjust, given her religious and moral upbringing, how did they become close, or Elenor dealing with her rape and the effect on her. Or a slice of life story about their day to day living, especially in different time periods or locations. I was also really fond of both their respective love interests, so stuff post-movie with them would be lovely! I'd love to read about Eleanor being out on her own for the first time and figuring out how to teach new vampire Frank the ropes while also enjoying her freedom. Or Clara and Darvell together; I'd like to see how he tries to earn her pardon and forgiveness, or something exploring their dynamic and history together. |
letter | |
| corpiod | Graceland (TV) | Mike Warren, Paul Briggs, Johnny Tuturro, Charlie DeMarco | I love everyone in the Graceland house! My fondest desire is for a poly relationship between these four (and maybe an orgy, because this fandom lacks poly porn, but that's entirely up to you if you want to include it). It doesn't have to be a full blown foursome or orgy of everyone in the house, I'd love it if everyone was sleeping with everyone in an open relationship, to be honest. But if that's not workable, there's plenty of more I'd love to read. I've love fic post S1, where Briggs has to apologize to his people there and try to rebuild the family that was broken up when he left. I'd love to read about putting the house back together and what it takes to mend the relationships. Or fic set while Briggs is still missing and everyone is upset, both with Briggs and Mike for lying. I'd love to read about individual people in the house dealing with Mike being sent there to spy on them--gimme Charlie's reaction and how she comes to trust Mike again, or Johnny being upset over it and how they rebuild their relationship, or more on Dale's distrust of him or Paige growing closer to him. I also ship pretty much all permutations of the nominated characters, so anything you'd want to write with these ships would make me happy. Angsty Mike/Paul fic? Warm happy Johnny/Mike fic, or something angstier after he finds out about Mike? Paul/Charlie angst post the finale or backstory for them? or Johnny/Paul/Charlie, or Charlie/Mike? I'm here for it all. I'd love friendshippy gen between any of them, or gen fic about any of these individual characters as well! Feel free to throw in Paige and Dale in the story or in ships if you like. |

| corpiod | American Horror Story: Coven | Zoe Benson (American Horror Story: Coven), Kyle Spencer (American Horror Story: Coven) | I am really fond of the chemistry Evan Peters and Taissa Farmiga have together since the first season, so I was doomed to ship this from the start. It's a bit odd to prompt for a fandom that only has one episode, but bare with me; what I'd love is Zoe/Kyle fic after he becomes a Frankenstein boy--either something sweet and kinda of charming, with him learning to talk, or them trying to get to know each other before he learns how to talk. Maybe something exploring the consequences of bringing him back to life--does he remember who he was before, does he have to find his way back to himself because of what was done to him, or is he someone new entirely because of Zoe and Madison remaking him, or something in between? Or something exploring Zoe's feelings on bringing him back to life in a twisted way and having this kind of control over him. Please feel free to go as creepy as you want with this; I am really into the dark horror aspects of this show and I'd love to see something creepily romantic here. My biggest wish would be creepy, fucked up psudo-necro sex between them--given he's dead, I'm sure he's immune to her vagina dentata--but I can understand how that's a tall order and it's totally not necessary. You're free to ignore canon after episode one, and just go straight up AU from there on if you want. |

| corpiod | Beautiful Creatures (2013) | Lena Duchannes (Beautiful Creatures (2013)), Ethan Wate (Beautiful Creatures (2013)), Ridley Duchannes (Beautiful Creatures (2013)) | I loved this movie--the world building, the magic, the Ravenwood family, the small town vibes, how female dominated it was, the romance between Lena and Ethan and how it subverted a lot of supernatural teen romance tropes. I'd adore fic about them and what happens post the movie--does Ethan come back? How do they reconnect? Do they go to NYC together? Or a missing scene of them from the movie, maybe bonding, maybe them bickering and having a minor argument or dealing with some issues between them, maybe Lena showing off her magic and Ethan being into that, maybe something smutty with them (I loved the car sex scene basically; I'd like more of that, if you want). Alternatively, I thought Ridley got a really raw deal, and I'd love to see more about her issues with her family, what happens to her right after she's claimed by the dark, the resentment she has for Lena, and how she wants to drag her down with her. I ship them a lot, so if you want to write something shippy--either before Ridley's claimed or something darker after she is, I'd welcome it happily. Of course, it doesn't have to be shippy, I'd be just as pleased as fic about their issues as cousins and family from a gen level--basically, I want to know about how close they were and then the fall out. I'm not familiar with the book yet, so I'd appreciate it if you worked soley with the film's canon. |
letter |
| ScratchyWilson | The Bone Key - Sarah Monette | ny characters, I'd love something in the vein of canon, backstory, gapfiller, casefic, anything that explores more of the characters and their world. | letter | |
| ScratchyWilson | The Young Blood Chronicles (Music Video Series) | ny characters, I just have so many questions I want answered with fic. | letter | |
| ScratchyWilson | Ripper Street | Homer Jackson, Bennet Drake | Romance or bromance, but I'd like fic that centers around their relationship and how they relate to each other, differences but also points of commonality. | letter |
| ScratchyWilson | Luther (TV) | Erin Gray | I'd love a character study or something set post-S3 that deals with the "what now?” of Erin's life and career. | letter |
| creamlet | 30 Rock | Liz Lemon | 30 ROCK IS OVER AND THERE WAS NO SERIES WRAP ON WESLEY SNIPES. PLEASE. WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO WESLEY SNIPES. Capturing even a fraction of Michael Sheen's beautiful crazy eyes when playing this character is more than enough. If Wesley Snipes isn't your jam: anything from the post-season-7 universe of the show would be amazing, especially what living life in Cheesy Sitcom Town means for Liz. |
letter |
| creamlet | The Camomile Lawn - Mary Wesley | Polly Cuthbertson, Paul and David Floyer | I want more of their life together? So much of their relationship happened on the periphery, and I'm still floored that they were able to make it work, going by the end of the book. | letter |
| creamlet | Scandal (TV) | Olivia Pope, Mellie Grant | What I love most about this show is how twisted every single character is in their own way, and how they're self-destructive and (un)believably selfish. So. Lots of that. Including Fitz, please. | letter |
| creamlet | Rules of Civility - Amor Towles | Evelyn "Eve" Ross | What my heart most desires is Eve/Olivia de Havilland from "Eve in Hollywood", BUT. I would LOVE another look into Katey and Wallace's relationship, or even an exploration of what Tinker did with the rest of his life? | letter |
| cribblemyname | Awake (TV) | o this show ran too short! One little season that left me with a zillion questions and so many possibilities. I would adore Emma with Hannah/Michael fic and finding out how things go after keeping the baby. You can AU it and get him out of prison or even just do Emma + Hannah. I'd love to see that. One scene I've been hankering after for forever is when Captain Tricia Harper stole all the brownies when she met Michael, but let him have one when he caught her. But seriously, anything you write me in this 'verse will be HUGELY appreciated. | letter | |
| cribblemyname | Divergent Series - Veronica Roth | I cannot wait for Allegiant to come out, but since it's not out yet, we have fanfic to make up the difference. Right now, I'm particularly fascinated by the Amar + Four relationship, as developed in the two shorts, "Free Four" and "The Transfer," and also thoroughly in love with Natalie Prior. More about Tris' mom would make me extraordinarily happy: her Dauntless background or her falling in love with Andrew or her finding out about the video at the end of Insurgent. Then there's the Jeanine Matthews and Andrew Prior dynamic. They used to best friends. Seriously? I would adore seeing them younger or even their personal interactions as Jeanine starts painting Abnegation as terrible. I mean, this is her best friend's kid she's torturing. And of course, knowing Andrew's mom recorded the video, that was a bombshell I'd also love to see more about. I love and prefer the canonical relationships: friendships, siblings, family. | letter | |
| cribblemyname | Onyx Court — Marie Brennan | o the only book of this series I own and have read is With Fate Conspire, though I did read the free short story available on Beneath Ceaseless Skies. Particularly, I love the character of Dead Rick, so I'd love anything with him in it, I'm very interested in that intriguing period where Valentin Aspell was dreaming for a century, and then Benjamin Hodge's childhood and selection as prince OR his picking up life again after the book would be extremely fascinating. Again, I'm pretty good with anything at this point, seeing as I don't think there's any fic in this universe at all. | letter | |
| cribblemyname | The People - Zenna Henderson | Dita (The People) | Ingathering is one of my five favorite books of all time. Within that, my favorite story is far, far and away "Captivity." I missed nominating this one, so understand if you don't want to go here, but I would love to find out what happened to Francher. Did he go back for Twyla? Who was he with his mom? But especially Twyla. Barring that, I'd love to know more about Dita and her ancestral stone wall and finding out what she could do or her parents' and family's reaction and so forth. | letter |
| cribblemyname | Roswell (TV) | I'm one of those who loved this series through "Viva Las Vegas." I've liked RoswellianMisha's work that accepts the end of the series as canon, but otherwise try to pretend it doesn't exist. Big on canonical pairings, but I'm particularly interested in Tess/Kyle or Tess + Kyle as sibling relationship. I'd love to see a fix-it where she doesn't kill Alex (which I always thought was an accident, then coverup), or really anything that gives some serious nonbashing Tess character development. She's an underdog: she was raised desperately wanting the Pod Squad as the only family she would ever have, and then they didn't want her and her alien ideas, so she tried to either offer them their alien legacy and simultaneously started learning to embrace her humanity. I want more of that without the atrocity of that murder in there. Please no dupes. | letter | |
| Scribe | Sarantine Mosaic - Guy Gavriel Kay | Scortius (Sarantine Mosaic), Astorgus | I would love a fic about the mentor-heir relationship between these two. Or something about life in the Blues compound! More details in my letter. | letter |
| Scribe | Women's Soccer RPF | Heather O'Reilly | Oh my god I love HAO so much you could do anything with her and I would be thrilled. I would love to see her as the focus of a fic about the strength of the USWNT team bond. Or femslash with another player, or fic about her rooming with Syd and Dave this past year, or crack AUs...anything! More details in my letter. | letter |
| Scribe | Cracked: After Hours (web series) | Daniel O'Brien (Cracked: After Hours), Soren Bowie (Cracked: After Hours), Katie Willert (Cracked: After Hours), Michael Swaim (Cracked: After Hours) | After Hours! I would really love a fic where the gang has to deal with some trope come to life. Maybe weathering the zombie apocalypse in the diner, for example? Or fic where they have a discussion/argument about fandom or queer things or something like that. I ship Daniel/Soren, but would also be thrilled with gen! More details in my letter. | letter |
| Scribe | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Pepe (Discworld) | I love everything about Pepe as a character. He blurs all the lines so well- gender, species, sexuality, identity, everything. Further exploration of anything about Pepe would be amazing! More details in my letter. | letter |

| SegaBarrett | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman, Brock Cantillo, Walter White, Lydia Rodarte-Quayle | Jesse and Brock, father/son bonding post Felina. Other options at the letter :) | letter |
| SegaBarrett | The Godfather (1972 1974 1990) | Santino "Sonny" Corleone, Connie Corleone Rizzi, Carlo Rizzi | onny and Connie's relationship, Carlo being a jerk and Sonny kicking his ass in various ways. | letter |
| SegaBarrett | Wiseguy | Frank McPike, Vinnie Terranova, Roger Lococco | I need me some McPike. Slash or gen I don't care! :) | letter |
| SegaBarrett | Hell on Wheels (TV) | Cullen Bohannon, Elam Ferguson | Cullen/Elam slash! It needs to be out there in the world :) | letter |
| imaisin | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills | I'd like Ichabod and Abbie - I ship them, so romance and/or smut is awesome, but I'm also happy with friendship fic. As long as they're being snarky and awesome together, it's all good. | letter |
| imaisin | Haven | Audrey Parker, Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos | I love the Audrey/Nathan/Duke OT3. If that's not your thing, I also love seeing the three of them as friends, or something Audrey/Duke. I'd really like to see them doing something non-Troubles related. | letter |
| imaisin | Ready Player One - Ernest Cline | Art3mis | Samantha Cook, Aech | Helen Harris | I'd love to see a fic about what either Art3mis or Aech is up to during the majority of the book, while Wade is doing his own thing. | letter |
| imaisin | Star Wars: The Old Republic | Female Imperial Agent ( Star Wars: The Old Republic), Vector Hyllus | Anything that involves the Agent dealing with the events of her storyline would be awesome. Or, since I do love the Agent/Vector romance, something that gives the Agent and Vector a chance for a break from the madness. | letter |
| kaiseifuku | 宇宙兄弟 | Space Brothers (Anime) | Nanba Mutta | I recently started watching this series and can't believe there's no fic for it! I've requested only Mutta because I'd really love to read something with him as the central character. Slash, brofic, gen, hilariousness with Apo, nerdiness about space, general dorkery... bring it on. See my DYW for a truly embarassing amount of further rambling. | letter |
| kaiseifuku | Genshiken | Hato Kenjirou | I absolutely /adore/ Hato. I don't think there has been a character as Relevant To My Interests in a very long time and there are so many avenues fic could explore! I've come to the conclusion that I'm a multishipper when it comes to Hato, but I'm particularly interested in seeing her with Yajima or Madarame. While I really would love shippy fic, I'd also be pleased as punch with genfic. Really. I just want ALL THE HATO! I have about a billion ideas in my letter, so please take a look! | letter |
| kaiseifuku | Tiger & Bunny | Nathan Seymour | Fire Emblem, Kaburagi T. Kotetsu | Wild Tiger, Ivan Karelin | Origami Cyclone | Tiger & Bunny is one of those series that I think will never get old for me. I love the world as much as the characters, but I have admit to being strongly biased toward Nathan because he's just so freakin' awesome. That having been said, I also have a soft spot for both Kotetsu and Ivan. Fic of almost any kind about any of these characters would make me absolutely thrilled. As with other my other requests, much more info/prompts can be found in my letter! | letter |
| kaiseifuku | No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | Nezumi (No. 6), Shion (No. 6) | Oh, No. 6. Why do you melt my stony heart so? *wibble* No. 6 is one of very few series that I don't multiship. For me, it's Nezumi/Shion all the way. I love how very different the two of them are and how through the course of their time together they change each for the better. I love how Nezumi brings out Shion's steely edge and how Shion shows Nezumi that there's more to human relationships than just survival. While I do see their relationship as having both a romantical and sexual element, it's not necessary for you to include it in your fic if you're not so inclined. I honestly would adore any canon-based fic with the two of them! A billion bonus points if you include Eve. (*_*) |
letter |
| kalaista | Are You Alice? | Alice? (Are You Alice?), Mad Hatter (Are You Alice?) | They are my dysfunctional yet weirdly functional OTP for the series, so I'd love to get a shippy fic about them. If you don't ship them, gen fic is definitely welcome too. I like their argumentative domestic bliss and scenes like that would work well in fic, I think! Doing something ordinary, possibly with a Wonderland-ish twist? Delicious cakes everywhere? They annoy each other so much and that's always fun to read about. Well, the whole manga is a treat to read so you could also force them out of Hatter's house and make them do something. Attend some kind of a party or maybe get lost in the forest? Meet other characters, old or new? Adventures or angsting, it's all fine with me. The manga isn't all light and fun, so you could also write about the darker aspects of their characters and the whole Wonderland. What if Alice finally has to shoot someone for real, or the Hatter proves once and for all why he's Alice's bodyguard? |
letter |
| kalaista | Gangsta. (Manga) | Nicolas Brown, Worick Arcangelo | I loved the chapters that explored their shared past, so more of that would be great! Surviving wasn't easy and they chose different paths to get money, but they still stayed with each other. What was it like, living like that? Sad and difficult and violent of course, but I figure they also had fun and times when life was good. And how did they manage to settle down and get such a nice place to themselves? What do they do when they're not working? Lazing on the couch and getting drunk? Washing dishes and knitting mittens? ...It's a bit difficult to think of any prompts when all my brain is screaming is, "I want anything and everything". I ship them like burning and they're one of the few ships where I don't mind that they sleep with other characters too. I mean, Worick is a gigolo, I assume that that kind of fidelity isn't what matters to them. They trust on each other in other ways and that loyalty pushes my buttons so hard. I do ship them as an OT3 with Alex too and while OT3 not the fic I'd like to read right now, you can definitely include her in the fic. The guys seem to be pretty used to living together but how do they learn to navigate a life that now includes her? |
letter |
| kalaista | Haikyuu!! | Takeda Ittetsu, Ukai Keishin | I'd really love to get a ship fic for these two because there's so little of that. However, if that's not your cup of tea, gen is always a good option. Do they meet outside the school hours to discuss strategy and their hopeless(ly adorable and stupid) students? Does Takeda guilt trip Ukai to stop smoking (you should set an example to the kids! etc.)? Do they get drunk just for the hell of it? Chapter 80 shows that Takeda is a merry drunk who apparently has a better head for alcohol than Ukai does, and I just love that. I only requested Takeda and Ukai, but you can add other characters to your fic too, even outside the nominations. I like that Ukai has actual friends he spends time with. I imagine they're the kind of friends who'd give him horrible yet useful advice on how to catch Takeda who, in their opinion, is obviously too good for him. We know less about Takeda so you can use your imagination there. Surely he has friends, family and a home too? |
letter |
| kalaista | Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours | Around the World in Eighty Days - Jules Verne | Aouda (Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) | A post-canon fic would be lovely! Aouda lived in India and I imagine that London must have been bit of a shock for her. The climate alone is very different and while she was raised in the "English way", I doubt she was prepared for everything. Do the Englishmen and -women welcome her or does she struggle to get acceptance? Mr. Fogg was kind of a Darcy-like in that he was rich and single (also, seriously weird), and there must have a been a lot of forced smiles from young women and their parents when he returned with Aouda. Not all of them though, and Aouda making friends would be nice to see too. Writing OCs for this fic is perfectly welcome. Or you could focus on Aouda and Mr. Fogg's domestic life. Getting used to living with each other was probably difficult at first. Aouda was used to one thing and the canon couldn't have underlined Fogg's never changing habits more. I like the idea that Aouda was married before and Fogg wasn't, so in this she's more experienced than he is. Or you could write about Aouda and Passepartout's friendship, I liked that very much in canon. Maybe he helps her to adjust to her new life? |
letter |
| Selah Ex Animo (Selah) | Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld | I would love a fic about Deryn and Lilit and their (either canon or AU) relationship to one another. Friendship fic, missing moments from Behemoth, post-canon adventures, AU in which they fall madly in love and spend the next sixty years of their lives in a beatific Boston marriage. Basically, all things Deryn and Lilit goes. I would also love fic about my OT3 of OT3s, Alek, Deryn, and Lilit. (It's how I reconcile my feverish passion for both Deryn/Alek and Deryn/Lilit). Both gen and romance are loved! Perhaps one, two, or all three of them are polyamorous and experiment with threesomes/ménage à trois; perhaps they go on adventures for the Zoological Society, or have a night on the town. Then there's Jaspert - my favorite character after Deryn, Alek, and Lilit. Ideas include Jaspert aboard the Minotaur — Jaspert having to write home to explain that his little sister was carried off in a storm on a Huxley — Jaspert meeting Alek — Jaspert in the two years after Artemis Sharp's death, navigating the minefield growing between his sister and their mother and aunts — Jaspert and Deryn shenanigans (turning their ma's hair white before its time! terrorizing Alek with pub-hopping and making him regret becoming a Darwinist!) Lastly, how about historical figures in the Leviathan universe? I have a particular hankering to see Bessie Coleman's daredevil airshows re-imagined in this universe (and WOW, IF DERYN AND BESSIE WERE TO MEET *waggles eyebrows*), but I would adore seeing renditions of any famous early 20th-century figures. |
letter | |
| Selah Ex Animo (Selah) | The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini | I would love some Nasuada-centric fic. What was life like for her before the Cycle? Was she carefree, or did political intrigue already burden her? Was she aware of Arya? What kind of relationship might they have developed if she was? (I have a headcanon that Nasuada and Arya did know one another, and that their acquaintance was one of mentor and mentee, that continues into Nasuada's adulthood. Something to consider?) And what was Nasuada like after the canon? What measures does she go to to rebuild Alagaesia? Is she ever in danger of becoming another Galbatorix? What does the burden of ruling do to her? I always imagine that fic exploring this subject would wander into darkfic territory; this is, by all means, fine with me. Welcome, even. I would love to see the relationship between Eragon and Nasuada — as friends and even, possibly, as lovers — developed. (I like to imagine that there could be an attraction between them not quite based on love, a fixation that draws them to one another despite their canon love interests). I'm not entirely sure where I stand on Murtagh/Nasuada; I loved the pairing up until the Stockholm Syndrome treatment it received in the final book. But I will definitely read it if you care to write it - the only thing here is that fluff may prove a hard sell. Murtagh/Nasuada/Eragon OT3 intrigues me, as well. I would also be interested in seeing an exploration of the relationships between Murtagh and Thorn (could Murtagh, broken as he was, help Thorn through the unnatural growth spurt Galbatorix forced on him?) and Murtagh and Selena (especially AU where she saves him from Morzan). |
letter | |
| Selah Ex Animo (Selah) | Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker | I would love to see the cataclysm that led to the creation of the Great Sea. Though, really, anything WW works, <3 | letter | |
| Selah Ex Animo (Selah) | Fingersmith - Sarah Waters | Maud Lilly, Susan Trinder | Oh! for some plotty post-canon fic. What is it like for Sue and Maud, living in isolation (though, do they remain isolated?) and off of Maud's income as a writer? I haven't read the book in a while, so most of this is based on the movie, but the thing that struck me most about this story was how alike Maud and her mother were. Both of them were capable of such double-dealing, and yet their machinations were so tightly bound up - utterly inseparable - from their love (for Sue!) Does Maud still struggle with, and ever come to terms, with her own corruption, of being the product of both her uncle and mother's degeneracy? And how does Sue come to terms with this new, previously unsuspected Maud she now lives with? ... Also. Smut and elements of curtain fic would not go amiss here. Just sayin'. |
letter |
| Selden | Arthurian Mythology | Gawain (Arthurian Mythology), Morgan le Fay (Arthurian Mythology) | This is a bit of a cheat, because what I really want is fic for a story - Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - that doesn't seem to be in the fandoms list this year (I know, I should have nominated it myself earlier...). Since I'm cheating here, if you'd rather go elsewhere, Arthurian-wise, I'd still be delighted with any fic riffing on Gawain-ish elements: making and breaking promises, living up to perfection, the place and power of women, language games and gorgeousness. But if there's all this and some Green Knight too - a modernisation; a continuation; a take on some of the best damn symbol-infused and informed nature writing outside of Pasternak - I'll be delighted beyond all measure. | |
| Selden | Twin Peaks | Dale Cooper, Audrey Horne, Laura Palmer ,Albert Rosenfield | Not gonna lie: I want to go through the looking glass into season three, I watched the non-Lynch episodes of season two with rubbernecked horror, and I totally ship Agent Cooper and Audrey Horne. But hey, if you want to do a Mulholland Drive crossover, or a write up of the case of Agent Cooper and the Japanese coffee commercials, or an exegesis of filter coffee, cherry pie, and missing white woman syndrome, any or all of those would be peachy keen by me. I do enjoy the show's fetishisation of various icons of Americana, so I'm really not exaggerating when I say I'd be happy with a fic that was just, say, an appropriately Lynchian day in the life of the diner, or perhaps a present-day Twin Peaks high-schooler's project on the cause celebre that rocked her hometown way back in the early nineties. In short, I love the setting as much as the characters, and I'm not looking for explanations or resolution (I think that Fire Walk With Me, much I do like it, almost explained too much) so much as I am expansion and exploration. |
|
| Selden | Literary RPF | Walt Whitman (Literary RPF) | This is a thing that I hardly know enough about to request - my kung fu is not strong when it comes to the biography of either Whitman or Dickens - but I feel pretty strongly that it really, really, needs to exist. So, yuletide, help me out here. The thing itself is pretty simple: just a meeting between Charles Dickens and Walt Whitman. I'm imagining Dickens, mid-night walk in New York, bumping into a guy who looks like a stevedore and talks like a prophet. From there, who knows? Do they get into a shouting match over 'Boz's Opinions of Us'? Do they even realise who the other is? Do they meet at a bar and is half the conversation a drunken temperance lecture from Whitman? Is this Dicken's 1840s trip or his 1860s trip? Fair writer, it is up to you! Since this is the internet, I should probably note that I'm not looking for porn first and foremost, though hell, if you think you could pull it off without having to practically immerse Dickens in a vat of smelling salts, more power to you. |
|
| Selden | Voyná i mir | War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy | Yeah, there's no pretty way to say this. I just want to see Natalya, Pyotr, et al PILOTING GIANT MECHA. I don't care if the focus is worldbuilding (the close of the age of enlightenment ... WITH GIANT MECHA), military geekery (Austerlitz ... WITH GIANT MECHA), angsty pilot drama (will Natalya and Maria ever learn to love each other ... IN THEIR GIANT MECHA), or some kind of meditation on how getting gundams all up in your War and Peace totally prefigures Cold War arms racing or Karel ƒåapek's robots or performs some kind of super-reverse-triple-axel commentary on the Russo-Japanese war. I just ... I just want War and Peace and GIANT MECHA. Incidentally, though I used 'love' up there in the canonical platonic sense, I don't mind if you want to switch the pairings about or play fast and loose with who lives and dies. I'd enjoy seeing some women piloting GIANT MECHA, but since this would arguably involve much more thorough-going character-remodelling and world tweaking than simply introducing THE GIANT MECHA TOLSTOY NEVER KNEW HE WANTED, it's an optional extra rather than a dealbreaker. |

| Selena | Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band (Album) - The Beatles | Billy Shears, She (is leaving home) (Sgt Pepper), Sgt Pepper (Sgt Pepper), Lovely Rita the Meter Maid | Anything and everything you can think of. If you want to write the story of just one of these characters from the songs, that's fine; if you want to write about all of them (and Lucy, and the man who missed the grade in "Day in the Life", etc.), I'd love that, too. If you want to make RPF connections to what was going on in 1967 in Swinging London, I'm cool with that as well. Basically: have fun! | letter |
| Selena | 18th & 19th Century CE RPF | Emma Hamilton (18th & 19th Century CE RPF), Sir William Hamilton, Mary Cadogan, Horatio Nelson (18th & 19th Century CE RPF) | I'm mainly interested in the relationship between Emma and Sir William, anything from the time she was nephew Charles' mistress to the time he died, and despite her passionate affair with Nelson there's no doubt she was grief stricken. Also in the relationship between Emma and her mother. Nelson is optional. | letter |
| Selena | Breaking Bad | Marie Schrader, Skyler White, Hank Schrader, Walter White Jr. | My dream would be Marie character exploration. Her relationship with her sister, with Hank, with her nephew; the stories she makes up when she's unhappy (as in early s4 when Hank is still recovering). How does she cope with losing Hank? Does she take a job? Anything Marie would be lovely. | letter |
| Selena | Bates Motel (2013) | Norma Bates, Emma Decody, Dylan Massett, Norman Bates | I would love something focusing on Norma and Emma; their interaction is pretty much the only thing approaching to friendship Norma experiences. And yes, partly that's because she doesn't see Emma with her low life expectancy as someone who'll take Norman away, but I also got the impression she genuinely comes to like Emma, who, in turn, is the only one who doesn't treat Norma as crazy or a sex object. Alternatively, anything exploring Norma, her past, her mixture of brokenness and stubborn will to see that silver lining on the horizon anyway. I find the relationship with her older son fascinating, but would prefer something that's more layered than woobie!Dylan. |
letter |
| Selena | 14th Century CE RPF | Katherine Swynford (14th Century CE RPF), John of Gaunt (14th Century CE RPF), Philippa Chaucer (14th Century CE RPF) | Katherine Swynford: what was it like to be John's mistress for decades, navigate Lancaster family dysfunctionality and the awareness that in the eyes of the church (very possibly in her own eyes as well, given she was a child of her time), she was living in a state of sin and risking hell for staying with John? What was her relationship with her sister like? (Also with her brother-in-law, of course.) Was she ambitious for her own children or was she glad they were barred from succession, seeing what it did to the legitimate part of the family? Anything Katherine would be great. | letter |
| Selena | The Welsh Princes Trilogy - Sharon Kay Penman | Davydd ap Gruffydd | Davydd ap Gruffydd is probably my favourite character in the last two books, so anything focused on him would be great. You don't have to whitewash him; it's his ambiguity that contributes to the fascination. I'm curious about one thing Sharon Penman barely touched upon, those years Davydd spent as a child hostage at the English court - how much did they influence him? But if you can't work with that, don't worry - like I said, anything Davydd would be welcome. | letter |
| Selenay | Captain Marvel (Marvel) | Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), Jessica Drew (Captain Marvel) | While I'd love some femslash here, I'm equally happy with friendship fic. I've just loved their friendship in the CM books and the feeling that this is the one long relationship that they both need in their lives. The events of Enemy Within have, obviously, been both heart-breaking and fascinating so an exploration of how it affects their friendship would be great. Or a pre-Enemy Within fic with all the banter and teasing and dinosaur punching you want. Alternatively, this is a fandom where I'm always up for an AU. More detailed prompts and general fic preferences are in my Yuletide letter. | letter |
| Selenay | Fearless Defenders (Comics) | Brunnhilde | Valkyrie (Fearless Defenders), Annabelle Riggs (Fearless Defenders) | I'd genuinely prefer femslash for this pairing because the canon is so fantastic for it, but if you're not a slasher then gen friendship would be A-OK. Annabelle is such a great character and she plays off Valkyrie so well. Initially she's just the feisty and brilliant archaeologist who doesn't do the fighting (and kisses Val, which I completely understand) but she's grown so much. The shared bodies thing is bringing up so many fascinating dynamics and I'd love a fic about how that's affecting Annabelle and Val's relationship. Alternatively, something written for the beautiful Indiana Jones-esque cover solicit that's been going around would be amazing. More detailed prompts (and a link to that cover solicit) and general fic preferences are in my Yuletide letter. | letter |
| Selenay | Young Avengers | America Chavez (Young Avengers), Kate Bishop (Young Avengers) | I'm quietly hoping for femslash for this pairing, but I'd be very happy with gen friendship if that's not your thing. A fun adventure fic or a quiet fic about the times they didn't end up in a horrible dimension during their dimension-hopping would both be great. I love AUs so if you've got a rivals-to-lovers sports AU lurking in your mind, lay it on me. Kate and America are my favourite characters from the new YA run and I just want more about them. More detailed prompts and general fic preferences are in my Yuletide letter. | letter |
| Selenay | Parasol Protectorate - Gail Carriger | Professor Lyall, Biffy (Parasol Protectorate) | Really, my biggest want here is more Lyall and Biffy. We got some lovely writing for them on the page, but I really wanted to see more about their relationship and how it grew and where it went after the books ended. I'm just greedy about these two. More detailed prompts and general fic preferences are in my Yuletide letter. | letter |
| Selenay | Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) | William Brandt, Benji Dunn (Ghost Protocol) | I'm definitely a slasher for these two, but I'm also just in love with their bantery teasing friendship so don't feel like you *have* to go there for me. I fell for them during the planning session in the plane because they're so different and work together so well. Post-IM4 fic would be great, anything that has a bit of action and some fun banter between them. Or if you're a slasher and love tropes as much as I do, go wild on them. More detailed prompts and general fic preferences are in my Yuletide letter. | letter |
| Selenay | Call the Midwife | Cynthia Miller, Trixie Franklin | The friendship between Cynthia and Trixie is one of the highlights of the series for me. It shouldn't work because they're such different people and yet it does. Anything exploring that - how they met and became friends, how their friendship developed - would be lovely. As would a casefic highlighting how their differences compliment each other. If you're a femslasher, I'd also love a shippy fic about them but really, I just want any kind of fic because there isn't any. More detailed prompts and general fic preferences are in my Yuletide letter. | letter |

| Senji | Cyteen Series - C. J. Cherryh | Sam Whitely (Cyteen) | Whilst he's a minor character I think we see quite a bit of his personality and skills. He's in many ways another outsider in Ari's coterie, and in the Reseune Lab environment. What I'd like is something that either puts a spotlight on Sam, or that uses Sam to be a spotlight on the rest of the books. Sam has a canonical pairing, but there's lots of room for before, after, as-well, affairs, or many other kinds of things, if you want. |
letter |
| Senji | Alliance-Union - C. J. Cherryh | Signy Mallory | Anything with Signy Mallory in. We get some nice insights into her in Merchanter's Luck and Downbelow Station, and the odd comment here or there elsewhere, but I feel she's a main character who's only given a minor character's worth of screentime. I don't care how and what you do, but remedy this injustice. | letter |
| Senji | Requite Duology - Ankaret Wells | Tzenni Boccamera, Ligeia Boccamera | I think there are broadly two ways to go with this request -- before and after. After is fairly simple, the text leaves it in no uncertain terms that Ligeia is unhappy with Tzenni's choices, and that she's unlikely to let things lie. Before is slightly more subtle; The Maker's Mask starts in-media-res and only quite oblique references are made to the sisters' relationships growing up. | letter |
| Senji | The Reaches Trilogy - David Drake | Stephen Gregg (The Reaches), Sarah Blythe (The Reaches) | What I'd like to see in fic here is something that explores further how Stephen and Sarah's experiences affect their relationship; whether on a personal, sexual, or business basis (although I think given they're people those three things aren't entirely disentanglable, although for the people they *are* they may be more disentanglable than usual). | letter |
| Senji | Honor Harrington Series - David Weber | Aubrey Wanderman, Ginger Lewis, Shannon Foraker | Aubrey and Ginger provide an interesting view into what it's like to be crew on one of Honor's ships; but they're more than that, they become very likable and rounded characters of their own. Mission of Honor leaves their fate unclear, and given where the geopolitics goes I can well imagine they might end up having /something/ to do with Shannon Foraker afterwards, I can certainly see them getting on famously. Alternatively wind the clock backwards; and/or drop Shannon altogether, I'm happy with that. |
letter |
| Senri | Subarashiki Kono Sekai | The World Ends With You | Kiryu "Joshua" Yoshiya, Bito "Rhyme" Raimu | OK OK OK. TWEWY is a great fandom of my heart, and Joshua one of the most maladjusted, persnickety douchebags I'm fondest of. When it comes to TWEWY fic in general, I like emotions layered and mixed into each other, not black-and-white, sad-and-happy, diametrically opposed. TWEWY's world is one of joy and beauty and also difficulty and that's also what's arresting about the series to me. That's what I like to see in the fanfiction too! A world full of lovely and worthwhile things, where emotions are complicated. When it comes to fanfiction about Joshua and Rhyme, I actually prefer it gen-flavored than schmoopy or overly fluffy. I would love to see an unconventional friendship/affection between these two, but not so much the trappings of your standard romance. I also love magical realism and the way it couples beauty and surreality! TWEWY is a very magically realistic setting, to me, or at least it fosters that: the surreal, the strange, the bizarre and outlandish permeates the everyday and makes it new, strange, *magical.* I would love to see the magic of Shibuya through Rhyme's patient and level-headed point of view, as well as some interactions with the prickly guy behind the curtain. When it comes to twewy fic, though, I will be so happy to curl up beside you for a thoughtful exploration of this world and the characters, though! Whether you choose to present your fic through a plotted piece, a series of vignettes, or one longer, relaxed scene, I'm sure I'll adore it. I apologize if this request is disjointed, but thank you so much, author! |
letter |
| Senri | Gorillaz | Noodle (Gorillaz), Murdoc Niccals, Stuart "2D" Pot | What I really want is family fic with the whole stupid band in there. Russell isn't on the characters list, but if you can work him in there, I will love you forever - if you can't, I understand! Otherwise: family fic. Yes. As loving, complicated, kind of gross, dysfunctional, grouchy, bitter, caring, careful, and exhausting as real families can be. An outing gone wrong, Gorillaz-style? A day at the studio? A series of shorter scenes? Surprise me, do whatever you like! I much prefer genfic or pairings only in the background for this set of characters, as a side note. Otherwise, please just play with them and have fun! :D |
|
| Senri | Le città invisibili | Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino | The city of Isaura was always my favorite, with its feeling of being beautiful, fearsome and mysterious. What I would love to see would actually be some writing about life in the day-to-day there, permeated by running water, an edge of inscrutable magic, and the strange movements of the gods. Moving through several different characters would be lovely/just fine! Thank you, dear author, and sorry if these details are too vague. |
||
| Senri | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman, Jane Margolis | "Magic realism or magical realism is a genre where magic elements are a natural part in an otherwise mundane, realistic environment." -- can you tell I love this genre yet? My favorite type of magical realism is rather subtle, like a whisper or a current in the air, not so much unicorns and angels descending from on high blowing trumpets and streaming bands of heavenly fire. What better place for the magical and the mundane to collide than in the world of Breaking Bad and the arid land of New Mexico, where it's already sort of happened? What I would love to see forever is a kind of ghost story. Jesse and Jane meet again, even with the girl herself deceased - Jane permeates Jesse's arc through the series so much, it's not that much a stretch that her actual spirit would still be drifting around to occasionally appear as an apparition, right? I would love to see something ambiguous and strange, something as weird, abstract, foreboding and perhaps beautiful as the teaser sequences that started each episode. Ambiguity is fine, and even more lovely than certainty, in fact. Spoilers for all seasons are just fine. I realize this is sort of a strange and genrebending request. Thank you, dear author, if you choose to tackle it! |

| Sententiae | Psyren | Yumeji Haruhiko | I babble (endlessly) in my letter, but to sum it up: if you are able to write me ANYTHING about Haruhiko, you will own my soul forever. I am really not expecting to get matched on this fandom as no-one ever offers it, but if you HAVE then anything at all Haruhiko would be amazing. I love his relationships with both Kagetora and Lan, and would adore anything that explores those relationships with them. ANYTHING Haruhiko. AUs (black cat!Haruhiko?) Pairing fic. Gen. Case fic with Kagetora. Fluff. Angst. Haruhiko being a dork. Haruhiko being awesome. I may be just a touch obsessed. | letter |
| Sententiae | Area no Kishi | The Knight in the Area | Shima Ryosuke, Toono Mikiya | hima is my character of choice. I enjoy his humour, skill, and determination. I also really like the interplay he has with Toono. Either as friends or as a romantic couple, they're cute and fun. At the same time, you always believe that they are completely and utterly serious about soccer. Anything that explores how their relationship develops/the darker side of being involved with sport would be neat. Again, more babbling at my journal. | letter |
| Sententiae | Giant Killing | Osamu Ishihama, Kazumi Kiyokawa | I'd love anything Kazumi (especially) and Osamu specific. We've seen the way Kazumi can be quietly supportive and there for Osamu, it would be great to see a situation where Osamu came to Kazumi's aid. Maybe they didn't like each other when they first met, but ended up having to have each other backs when they were the newbies on the team and were finding it difficult to get used to living in Tokyo. Maybe a game goes wrong, or there is an injury. While I love them together (platonic or otherwise), I would still be equally happy with a fic that just focussed on Kazumi, or even Kazumi's relationships with other team members. | letter |
| Sententiae | Switch (Manga) | Takei Mitsuki, Shiba Toshiki | Aw, Takei and Shiba. So much love. Like all my requests, I babble way too long about these two on my letter. Quick summary: While Takei is my favourite, I really do adore them as a pair (romantic and otherwise). Hurt/comfort fic, case-fic, AUs, explorations of how they deal with Shiba's betrayal and Takei's resulting transfer, alternative story-lines where things went differently/they met under different circumstances - you really can't go wrong! | letter |
| Serenade | Seafort Saga - David Feintuch | Nicholas Seafort, Alexi Tamarov | Nick has intense relationships with pretty much everyone he meets, and Alexi is no exception. I'm fascinated by the period right after Alexi's accident in Prisoner's Hope: his subsequent amnesia and slow recovery, Nick's awkward attempts to help, Alexi's loss and alienation. Probably because I love amnesia and hurt/comfort, whether slashy or gen. I'm also curious about Alexi's experiences during the time of Midshipman's Hope, when his close colleague suddenly becomes the untouchable Captain. But whatever you can come up with that shows Nick and Alexi sharing a moment together will be appreciated - I love these characters and want to see more of them. I'd rather any story didn't focus on hazing and bullying, especially regarding Philip Tyre, although I'm fine with references to it. And I realise that the source material itself is pretty grim, but for Yuletide I'm hoping for something that's a bit more hopeful. | letter |
| Serenade | Falcon - Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson | Falcon, Agidy Yelov | I've always been fascinated by Yelov and the complicated relationship Falcon has with him - once chief and subordinate, now renegade and enforcer. I'd love to see any story where they interact, whether they're working together, or hunting each other, or having a doomed torrid affair. I also like the interactions between Falcon and the other Special Agents, so I'd be interested in anything from dramatic joint missions to the office Christmas party. I'm not that fussed about continuity, given it's a gamebook series, and I like alternate universes too. I'm fine with gen, het, or slash, of any rating. (Incidentally, in my head, I think of Falcon as male, but gender ambiguity is also cool!) | letter |
| Serenade | Chronicles of Amber - Roger Zelazny | Morganthe (Chronicles of Amber) | The thing about Amber is that we get so many tantalising tidbits of history and legend that we never get to explore. Morganthe is one of these. All we know about her are half a dozen lines: her heritage, seduction, pregnancy, abandonment, childbirth, and suicide. A tragic figure in someone else's story. But I want to know her story, or at least one of them. Something that brings her to life as a person, that tells me a little bit more about her than I already know. For me, Yuletide is about hopeful stories, so I would rather not focus on her despair and death. I'm fine with ominous foreshadowing or bittersweet sorrow, just not crushing doom. Some ideas: What does it mean to be a Rebman, living in a mirror image city? What is her relationship like with her aunt Llewella? Does she know Vialle, also a lady of the court, and are they friends? What does she make of the reversed Pattern that lies in the palace? Has she ever visited Amber or anywhere else? Or maybe something different happens in a canon divergence AU. Feel free to go wild with exploring the world, bring in whatever other characters you like, or invent characters of your own. | letter |
| Serenade | Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson | Jim Hawkins (Treasure Island), Long John Silver (Treasure Island - Stevenson) | When I was a kid, Jim Hawkins was the best hero ever. He saved the day so many times, with a combination of luck, wits and courage: overhearing the plot in the apple barrel, recapturing the Hispaniola from Israel Hands, facing threat of death in the fort of the pirates, pulling off one daring escapade after another. I'd love to see something set after the book, and get to witness the person Jim grows into. What would his unique experiences inspire him to do? Is he exploring the world? Or running the inn? If he has settled down somewhere, is he using his skills to do cool stuff, or is he dreaming of adventure? And Silver, that smiling, smooth, charming nemesis. He was supposed to have settled down with his wife, living off his share of the treasure, but can he really keep out of trouble? I'd love to see Jim meet him on equal terms at last. (Also, slashy hijinks are welcome if Jim is an adult, but I'd prefer nothing explicit for this fandom.) Or if you have an idea set during the book, I'd love to see a missing scene that gives us more of the adventures and characters, or even a peaceful moment of conversation. | letter |
| renissima (killalla) | Gate 7 | Takamoto Chikahito, Hana (Gate 7), Date Masamune (Gate 7) | I like Chikahito as a classic CLAMP reluctant hero - he reminds me a lot of Watanuki, who is also one of my favorites. I'd be happy to see a story with him mostly reacting to his confusing crazy world, especially in the form of the Date and his crush on Hana. I'd especially enjoy seeing an adventure where Date's historical past comes into play, making it evident why he's more formidable than he seems. I think that Gate 7 and Chikahito are especially suited to comedy at this stage in the canon, but I'd also be happy with stories involving friendship and light romance (of the teenage crush variety.) | letter |
| renissima (killalla) | The East (2013) | Sarah Moss, Izzy (The East) | I personally saw a lot more subtext and spark between Sarah and Izzy than between Sarah and Benjy, so I'd like to see a story that explores that. Anything from gen to friendship to romance or antagonistic hate sex would be good here, I think. | letter |
| renissima (killalla) | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), George Washington | Okay, so that has to be a reason why Ichabod is so special to General Washington - maybe he's the 18th Century Bond style superspy to Washington's M, maybe they are related, maybe in a relationship of some kind. You can slash it or not, either is cool with me. Basically, I'd like to see a story from the Secret History of the American Revolution. | letter |
| renissima (killalla) | Laundry - Charles Stross | James Angleton, Bob Howard | I love Angleton. What can I say - I have a thing for snarky, domineering, slightly scary, just this side of villain mentor types. I'd like to see a story focused on him, with a romance if you could possibly imagine one. Please note that it doesn't have to be with Bob, (although I wouldn't mind if you paired them) - I think it would be shocking enough for Bob to imagine Angleton having any kind of personal life whatsoever! Some other non-romance ideas might be Bob discovering a story from Angleton's past, or catching a glimpse of him on vacation, or if you like crossovers, maybe meeting with smiliar spymaster types from spy, superhero or even fantasy fiction. (I've written a Laundry crossover myself in the past.) |
letter |
| renissima (killalla) | Hachimitsu to Clover | Honey and Clover | Hanamoto Shuuji, Hanamoto Hagumi | I realize that the relationship between Shuji and Hagu is often portrayed as parental, and it's suggested that she chooses him in the end because of her art, but I like them as an actual couple. I would love to see a story in which they develop and demonstrate a more romantic and even passionate relationship - so it's clear that Hagu chooses Shu for himself in the end. Being who they are, it might still be a bit awkward or comedic, of course! Maybe there's some tension once Hagu recovers, or if Mortia shows up again? I really do like all the characters in this series, so I'm happy for any of the others to appear. If you're uncomfortable writing sex or romance, please focus on their special bond - maybe a nostalgic tale from their childhood in Nagano? |
letter |
| renityabrin | Sigil (Comics) | JeMerik Meer, Samandahl Rey | Basically, I'd like to see JeMerik/Sam slash. I do love Roiya and her relationship with both men so a threesome is fine but I'd like the focus to be on Sam/JeMerik. Please do not include Zanni. For some ideas, if you wanted to explore the Negation War with Roiya, JeMerik and Sam, that would be really interesting. Or you could explore JeMerik training Sam. If you want them to be snarky, that's awesome. I'd just like if they actually love each other. | letter |
| renityabrin | King's Quest (Video Games) | Alexander of Daventry, Edgar (King's Quest) | I'd like an Alexander/Edgar slash story. I'd just really like a sweet romance between Alexander and Edgar with a happy ending. Edgar and Alexander friendship is fine. I'd love something dealing with Alexander's magic and Edgar's newly discovered faerie heritage. Or maybe something about how both of them were raised by evil magical people. Or it could be a KQ-style adventure. Or you can do whatever you think works best :) | letter |
| renityabrin | The Golden Hour (British TV) | Alec Track | I'd really like an Alec/Paul or Alec/Paul/Kurt (helicopter pilot) slash story. Please don't include Jane's relationship with either man. I'd prefer that there isn't a ton of hostility between Paul and Alec, but if it does get angsty, I'd like a happy ending. Another idea would be a crossover story with Thranduil (LOTR) or Ned (Pushing Daisies) with Alec but only if that idea appeals to you. If it does appeal to you, I'd really like good!Thranduil or really nice Ned. | letter |
| renityabrin | Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey | Sebell | I'd love a slash story with Sebell. I would REALLY like if it was Oldive but others I'd be happy to see are F'lar, F'nor, N'ton, Domick, Talmor, Alemi, Elgion, Jaxom, or T'gellan. Friendship fic is fine. Please do not include Sebell/Menolly or Sebell paired with Robinton or Piemur. For some ideas, there could be an outbreak of disease at the Harper Hall or Oldive and Sebell could be traveling alone or one of them gets injured and the other tends to him or you could do an AU where Sebell is a dragonrider. I'm pretty open. I just like romantic stories with happy endings. | letter |
| renityabrin | Arthurian Mythology | Mordred (Arthurian Mythology) | I'd love a story about Mordred being the good guy. I'd love a story exploring the idea that originally Mordred might not have been a traitor and actually fought besides Arthur when they died, and then how did his legend evolve into what it did. I would like a Mordred/Arthur or Mordred/Arthur/Gawain or Mordred/Gawain story, keeping the familial relationships intact if possible. I prefer these slash couples were more on the romantic, loving side than angsty or hateful. I like the older Welsh stories rather than the later courtly traditions with Tristan, Lancelot, etc. I like Gawain as the hero/good guy rather than the darker Gawains from some traditions. I like noble or warrior!Arthur when he's being a good leader. If it's possible to find a happy ending, I'd love that. There are additional ideas in my DYW letter. | letter |
| ren_ccd | The World's End (2013) | Sam Chamberlain, Steven Prince | I loved this movie to a ridiculous degree. What I'd love to see is these two interacting more, I thought they had such a sweet potential romance going on. I'd love to see their interactions back in school or post-movie, just the pair of them being awesome and re-learning each other. I loved how Sam was totally (for the most part) in control and smart and practical and I'd love to see more of that. And Steven was sweet and charming and so earnest, so I'd love to see more of that. Maybe see them creating their house at the end, anything! Just the two of them working together and interacting. Feel free to bring in the other lads! | letter |
| ren_ccd | The Moon-Spinners (1964) | Nikky Ferris, Mark Camford | Yep. The Disney film. I know it's cheesy, but it was highly formative for me. I have loved this movie since I was a little girl and I adored Nikki and all her enthusiasm. I'd love to see more of Nikki and Mark interacting. It could be during the film, post-film, anything! Anything that captures Nikki's curiosity and spirit. I'd just love to see these two on more adventures. Whether it's set during the film or post, in Crete or back home in London. What happens next? Anything! |
letter |
| ren_ccd | Tremors (1990) | Rhonda LeBeck, Valentine McKee | I loved this film growing up. I would so love to see what happens post the first film, prior to the tv series and other films, which I've never actually seen. I'd especially like to see what happens with Rhonda and Val. Those two were quite possibly one of my very first OTPs. Did they get on the cover of People magazine or National Geographic? Were there more 'graboids' lurking somewhere else? Or was there a missing moment after Val saves her from the graboid and helps her clean up those scratches? I would be delighted with anything with these two, with Earl chuckling happily in the background. Feel free to throw in some of the other characters if you'd like to! |
letter |
| ren_ccd | Lady Julia Grey Mysteries - Deanna Raybourn | Julia Grey Brisbane, Nicholas Brisbane | I believe I would simply love to see more of these two at rest. What is a simple day together like, without any family or mysteries to solve. Or what was their wedding night like? Or the days leading up to their wedding? What was their honeymoon like? I just want more of these two alone with each other, sparring and flirting and being with one another. I adored how these two just simmered with attraction and how no one else could quite unsettle them like they could each other. I'd just love to see more of them surprising each other. |
letter |
| rvantofclio | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | I'd be especially interested in seeing the characters in the aftermath of Paladin of Souls--how do Iselle and Ista relate to each other now? How do Ista and Illvin fit in with the roya and royina and their court? But I'd also be happy with something featuring one of the couples developing their relationship (I love the canon couples in this series), or friendship-fic with Iselle and Betriz or Caz and Palli. There are no characters I dislike in this set. |
letter | |
| rvantofclio | Damar Series - Robin McKinley | Harry Crewe, Gonturan (Damar) | I'm curious what that special connection to Gonturan is like for Harry, maybe in her life after the main events of the novel. Or: does the sword have its own perspective on events? | letter |
| rvantofclio | The Outlaws of Sherwood - Robin McKinley | Cecil | Cecily of Norwell | How does she build relationships with other characters while maintaining her deception? Or, what are the consequences of that deception for her later relationship with John, or others? | letter |
| rvantofclio | The Innkeeper's Song - Peter S. Beagle | Lal (Innkeeper's Song) | I'm pretty open here; I find her a very compelling character, and I'd be interested in seeing any kind of relationship with the other characters explored. | letter |
| rvantofclio | Foreigner Series - C. J. Cherryh | I'm listing any character here, but I'd be particularly interested in a perspective other than Bren's, and especially one of the women's. He has such a harsh view of Barb for most of the series; what's her perspective on events? What's Jago's view on anything? But I'd be curious what any of the bodyguards think of him and their roles, at any point in the series. | letter | |
| r_dontos | Seaward - Susan Cooper | Calliope (Seaward), Westerly (Seaward) | "Where there is no change, there is neither promise nor disappointment-only content. And the wisdom of not wanting more than it is possible to have." Westerly said slowly, "I don't know that I want to be wise. Or contented. At any rate not yet." "Nor do I," Cally said. "Maybe not ever." I'd love to see something on how this little exchange impacts on their future. |
letter |
| r_dontos | King of Shadows - Susan Cooper | I was having a moment during nominations, so I only added Nat (and didn't specify which one either - I was thinking 20thC Nat, but Elizabethan Nat would also be great to read about, come to think of it), but please feel free to write about anyone you want! Subesequent timeslip adventures would be great, or just the continued impact of time switching on the characters and their lives in their original centuries. | letter | |
| r_dontos | Romanitas - Sophia McDougall | I saw this on the nominations list and just had to request it - basically you can write me absolutely anything and I will be a fountain of squee just to see something in the fandom. I have read the whole trilogy so feel free to use elements from the other two books in your story (or not!) I'd be happy to see fic featuring any of the nominated characters or worldbuilding or...anything! | letter | |
| r_dontos | Sunshine - Robin McKinley | Constantine (Sunshine) | omething from Con's POV would be great, if you can. Not too fussy about shipping or rating. Not fussy at all, in fact. | letter |
| Settiai | Gargoyles (TV) | David Xanatos, Janine "Fox" Xanatos, Owen Burnett | OT3! Seriously, I would love absolutely anything involving these three, whether it be a threesome, a completely gen caper, or anything in between. The three of them have such a complex set of relationships with each other, with a complicated and rather interconnected history, and I'd love to see that explored. |
letter |
| Settiai | Gummi Bears (TV) | Gusto Gummi, Sunni Gummi | Gusto and Sunni were my favorite characters when I was a kid, and I'd love a story that focuses on the two of them. Gen or het would both be lovely. I adored Sunni's not-so-subtle crush on Gusto when I was younger, and I'd love to see it explored (in whatever way you'd like) with her being older than she was in the series. | letter |
| Settiai | Holly Tree - Dar Williams (Song) | Oh, this song. I absolutely adore the interpretation that it's set during the time of witch hunts, and I'd love something exploring the stories told in the lyrics. What happened? Was it merely jealous men using witchcraft as an excuse to steal land from widowed women? Could there actually have been magic involved? Did everyone die -- the midwife, the pregnant woman, the doctor, and the baby -- or did any/all of them somehow escape that fate? What about the farmer's wife? Was her life different than that of the woman who lived on the land before her, or did she end up suffering the same fate in the end? Inquiring minds want to know. | letter | |
| Settiai | Peacemakers (2003) | Jared Stone, Katie Owen, Larimer Finch | Gen, het, slash, or threesome are all fine with me. All that I ask is that you please don't completely ignore Katie; even if you go the slash route, I really want her to be present as a friend/colleague. I'd absolutely love some type of case fic, where they're trying to solve a crime or find a rational explanation for a seemingly impossible to explain mystery, but please don't feel like you have to be tied to that idea. | letter |
| Settiai | Hand of Isis - Jo Graham | Asetnefer (Hand of Isis) | First of all, if you don't think you can write a fic about Asetnefer, I have no problem with you ignoring the requested character. I'd be just as happy with something about the Charmian/Dion/Emrys relationship, or a story about the sisters, or a fic focusing on one of the surviving (or, if you prefer, one of the reincarnated) characters after the end of the main plot, or a look at one of the many "what if?" situations where everything could have gone differently if just one choice had been changed. What I'd really love, though, is something that focuses on Asetnefer. It could before the main story begins, focusing on how she went from being freeborn to becoming a slave, how she rose from a mere slave to someone who was in a position of power in the women's quarters, her relationships with Pharaoh and Phoebe, etc., and/or during the novel, showing the story's events from a different POV. I find her character extremely interesting, but once Bubastis happens we don't really hear much about her afterward. What is her story? |
letter |
| Settiai | Treasure Planet (2002) | I'd love basically anything for this fandom, involving any of the nominated characters. Something about the Silver/Jim relationship, whether it be slash or more of a father/son relationship (or both, I'm good with both), set sometime in the future once Jim is a little older and has had a chance to grow into his own person. Or something about the Amelia/Doppler relationship. She's a cat alien/captain, he's a dog alien/scientist, and they have adorable kittens and puppies together! Or maybe genfic, or not-so-genfic, where any/all of them end up having another adventure, this time with added space kraken! (Because why not?) Basically, the sky is the limit. Or, well, no. Maybe the sky isn't even the limit, considering we're talking about a canon that's basically Treasure Island in space. The sky is just the beginning? |

| SevenCorvus | Men in Black (Movies) | Agent Jay, Agent Kay | I loved Men in Black 3, I enjoy the energy and chemistry these two characters have, and all that we learned about them from the movie. I feel like the movie ended at a really interesting point, and would love to see that continued. A post movie fic is definitely preferred, maybe dealing with discussing what happened, unresolved issues, or tying up loose ends. Slash preferred, but friendship is great too. Bonus for Griffin making an appearance (who doesn't love Griffin?). | letter |
| SevenCorvus | MythBusters RPF | Adam Savage (Mythbusters), Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters) | I adore Mythbusters, and Adam and Jamie are the best. They love what they do, and it shows. I love the fact that even when they disagree or get frustrated and upset, they still respect each others opinions. Again, slash is preferred, but friendship is great too. Anything episode related would be awesome, such as one of the times one of them surprised the other with something. | letter |
| SevenCorvus | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Quentin Lance (Arrow TV) | I'm afraid that Oliver hits me right in my angst/hurt/comfort feels. He's a great character, with all sorts of unresolved issues I'd love to see explored. As for Quentin, it's Paul Blackthorne, need I say more. ;) Despite the pair's animosity, I think Oliver has a great deal of respect for Quentin, and wants him to think well of him. I'd love an angsty, hurt/comfort fic, with a happy ending. Can be slash, vigilante/law enforcement partners, father figure, or all of the above. Bonuses for references to Oliver's scars, PTSD, or Oliver bending Quentin over a car (it was a very inspiring scene). Dresden!Quentin would be fun, if a bunny should take you that way. | letter |
| SevenCorvus | Bourne Legacy (2012) | Aaron Cross, Eric Byer | I thought the movie was amazing, and that the characters deserved further exploration. Byer seems to think he's doing the right thing, yet he also seemed to have a past with Cross that I'd love to know more about. While Aaron was desperate for a place to belong, but still clearly had a conscience. I don't know quite how a relationship between them would work, but slash would be awesome. Please no dub or non-con, and happy ending is a big bonus. Can take place before, during, or after the movie. | letter |
| SevenCorvus | Emelan - Tamora Pierce | Trisana Chandler, Niklaren Goldeye | Trisana is one of my favorite literary characters. I love her intelligence, her temper, her power, and her compassion. Niko is clearly her mentor in the books, yet we know little about him or their relationship. I'd love to see their dynamic explored. I may have a slight occasional thing for mentor/romantic relationships, so that would be awesome, but platonic or even Ace is also welcome. I'd love to see Tris instigating the relationship, but am curious how Niko would go about courting, so either way is great. | letter |
| SevenCorvus | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Keladry of Mindelan, Wyldon of Cavall | imilar to the above, Kel is another one of my favorite literary characters. Her and Wyldon also have a mentor relationship, one clearly based on a great deal of respect on both sides. Again, het is awesome, but anything exploring their dynamic post-Lady Knight is great. | letter |

| venfoxes | Peaky Blinders (TV) | Tommy Shelby, Grace Burgess | I love these two characters. I find them fascinating as individuals, but I really, really love them together. I'd be happy with anything you choose to write, but I'd particularly love to see a fic that explores (either one or both or nether if you fancy takes you elsewhere): 1. Their backgrounds. I love the hints of Grace's experiences in Ireland and Tommy's in France and how it has really broken them... and how that, in its own way, makes them perfect for one another. 2. Tommy finding out about Grace's status as an undercover security agent. The finale has not aired yet, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they are going to probably end the season with this reveal. Don't feel like you have to use what happens on the show if you decide to go down the path with this one. I'd loooooveeeee a fic exploring this, particularly because we know how well Tommy deals with betrayal (aka NOT WELL), and how it would conflict with the fact that he has very strong feelings for her. I really don't see any type of fluff for these two characters (and frankly, I love angst, so please feel free to angst this up to 11). That being said, my only request - especially if you write the fic where Tommy finds out that Grace is an undercover agent - is that he not hurt or kill her. |
letter |
| venfoxes | Orphan Black (TV) | Paul Dierden, Sarah Manning | I'd love some background on the characters built into the story. Especially Paul's experience in the military because I LOVE LOVE LOVED that storyline and they never really pursued it. However, this is a fandom where I'd really like some stuff set in the present as well. I'd love more exploration into the mindfuck that is Paul sleeping with his dead girlfriend's clone, which the show kind of glossed over. AND, the mindfuck that is sleeping with a guy who you don't know while pretending to be your dead clone! What is it about Sarah that is so different than Beth and why do Sarah and Paul connect the way they do? I'd also love love love stuff set after the end of season 1 with Paul possibly helping Sarah get away in the elevator (and perhaps later helping her find Kira). |
letter |
| venfoxes | American Horror Story | Tate Langdon, Violet Harmon | I really liked how dark Tate was. I really didn't find him to be an overly sympathetic character, despite how the show desperately tried to make him seem misunderstood. He's clearly a total sociopath, and that's fine. I prefer to see him written that way. I mostly like his interaction with Violet. I think she did bring out the better parts of him, but I also think that there was a benefit to the show not really delving into his thoughts. If the fic is written from his POV, I think it's gotta be dark, even if it's him thinking about Violet. (But not TOO disturbing - clearly he was much softer with her than anyone else.) I do see Tate genuinely being in love with Violet and being very protective/possessive of her, but I see this being more of an angsty fic, rather than fluff. You could write more about how their storyline transpired on the show (they totally went the cheap route by basically having him take her virginity off-screen and barely mentioning it) with stuff that we didn't see and more insight into what the characters were thinking, but I'd be just as interested in a fic that explores what happens after the season and if Tate lives up to his promise of waiting for Violet to change her mind about him. (Because really... they have all the time in the world.) |
letter |
| venfoxes | Byzantium (2012) | Eleanor (Byzantium), Clara (Byzantium) | I have a HUGE HUGE love for stories that deal with people who are immortal and how time loses often loses its meaning when there's an infinite amount of it. Also, how insular it becomes when you have to keep it a secret and are constantly on the run from people hunting you. Basically, I'd really love an exploration of the relationships that Eleanor and Clara have had with others over the years, particularly Eleanor, who also has to deal with the fact that she perpetually looks like a teenager on top of everything else. I like the idea of them attempting to find intimacy outside of their warped co-dependent relationship with one another. I really loved Clara/Darvell and their dynamic over the years. Feel free to AU that relationship a bit if you'd like so we don't see it just develop in the present day. I'm not horribly attached to the canon that exists in the movie, so if you want to change it up a bit, go for it! I also REALLY didn't like Frank or Eleanor's relationship with him (although I do LOVE the idea of her finding someone and attempting to turn them), so feel free to cut him out entirely if you want. (Please no Eleanor/Clara. Really, really not into that pairing in this fandom.) |
letter |
| venfoxes | Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) | Ricki Tarr | Basically, I really really really really really want some closure on the Irina storyline. That scene where Ricki is discussing how much Irina's disappearance has affected him and how he has to get her back was BONKERS. I'd love a story that explores that inner conflict that comes up after her disappearance and what he does after. A huge kink of mine is spies who develop real feelings for their marks, SO FEEL FREE TO TRAVEL DOWN THAT CRAZY PATH. I also wouldn't mind a bit more into Ricki's history. Something tells me this isn't the first time they've sent him in to seduce a woman into giving up secrets. MORE OF THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. Basically Tom Hardy being a slutty spy? How can you go wrong with that? (AKA YOU CAN'T.) (PLEASE don't kill Irina off. I'd love for you to find some way for her not to die. That being said, if your story takes you to a place where she really does have to die, I won't be upset. I'd just prefer her to be alive.) |
letter |
| venofspade | Demon Knights | Al Jabr (Demon Knights), Horsewoman (Demon Knights), Ystin (Demon Knights) | I've requested Al Jabr, Horsewoman and Ystin, because they are totally my favourite characters, but I dearly love everyone in this canon, so if you want to write your fic about anyone else, go for it! (I've written one letter on these folks already, but I'll try to provide new prompts for them here.) Also, this is an OR request rather than an AND request, so if you can't fit the three of them in the fic, don't sweat it. General prompts: What were doing pre-canon/during the timeskip/post-canon? What about the AU where they're the Justice League? Or the one where they're characters in a D&D campaign? (They all meet in an inn! And I'd love to see hos different from the characters the players are and how alike.) I've more specific prompts in my letter and they don't fit in this here box. |
letter |
| venofspade | Fantômette - Georges Chaulet | Fantômette | Françoise Dupont | I've been hungering for some more Fantômette since forever! These books were some of my favourites as a child and my thing for superheroes, especially street-level ones, probably comes from there. I sort of ship Fantômette/Le Masque d'Argent in that kind of fucked-up hero/villain dynamic, if you feel up to that. But if you don't or you prefer gen or if Françoise/Ficelle/Boulotte is your OT3? That is also awesome. Mostly, I want the further adventures of Fantômette: rescuing people, being a badass, helping the police! Going to space, exploring the ocean floor, having timetravel adventures! Stopping jewel thieves, travelling to parallel universe, starting a rock band! Learning to tapdance, running around on rooftops, stealing submarines! Kicking asses that need to be kicked, making cr√™pes, discovering the Higgs-Boson! Basically, go wild and I will love it wholeheartedly. I just want more Fantômette in my life. Which isn't to say Françoise isn't awesome in her own right, so if you want to write about Françoise being amazing as Françoise and not Fantômette, please do. And hey, if Fantômette teams-up with Ficelle and Boulotte to fight crime? That would be brilliant. |
letter |
| venofspade | Locke & Key | Kinsey Locke | I've been requesting Locke & Key fairly regularly this year, so if none of the prompts here inspire you, feel free to either check my tag or write whatever you want. Kinsey: She's kind of the absolute best. I love everything about her, from her protecting Bode from Sam Lesser to her refusing Dodge's ultimatum to her relationship with Tyler to everything. I love it that, even though it was her idea to take out her tears and fears, she takes them back becaus eit's the right thng to do and not having them makes "I love you" mean less. I would love canon-set fic or post canon fic or canon-divergent fic or really anything. I want fic where Kinsey survives the series and goes to college. I want fic where Dodge's plan suceeds and they all have to live with it (Dodge would get so bored). I want friendship fic with Jackie, Jordan, Zack/Dodge, Jamal, Scot, Tyler, Bode and/or Mandy or really anyone. I ship Kinsey pretty much with anyone she isn't related to, so if that's your jam, I'll bring the bread. I want fic where Kinsey changes the face of fashion by making life-jackets the in thing. I want fic where Kinsey and Jackie make it to the Olympics running team. I want fic where Joe Ridgeway doesn't die and Kinsey is Ophelia in Hamlet, the winter Shakespeare. I want fic, period. (And if Kinsey doesn't inspire you, I'll take fic of anyone! And I'll print it out and stick star stickers on it anyway.) |
letter |
| venofspade | Lucifer (Comic) | Elaine Belloc | My favourite things about Lucifer is the sheer scope of the story, the cover art and the characters. My favourite bits of Lucifer are the quiet, world-buildy one-shots between arcs. My favourite favourite bit is issue #58, The Yahweh Dance. I love Elaine's character arc and how she goes from a scared little girl trying to do the right thing to the most powerful being in all of Creation. Her drive to the right thing is what I like best about her. She will do these things that ask so much of her because they are the right things. I want all the Elaine fic, all of it. Pre-canon fic with Elaine, Mona and the grandmothers! Post-canon fic where Lucifer realises he left his promise to Loki unfulfilled and Elaine has to deal with his mess. Canon-set fic with Elaine and Mona as the sisters of mercy, are there any legends past around being closed doors where they don't the Maker to hear? Canon-set fic when Elaine and Mona where paper lanterns-esque. Canon-set fic dealing with Elaine and Mazikeen's roadtrip through Lucifer's Creation. Fic where Elaine bounds with Duma. Fic where Elaine visits Jill. Elaine and Death strike up a friendship after the finale. If you want to write fic dealing with the aftermath of the finale, feel free to use any/all characters from canon! What does it mean for Mazikeen to be the Morningstar? What's the balance of power like in Hell now? Do Duma, Lys and Mazikeen have a triumvirate? Does Mazikeen ever come back at the bar on a day where Beatrice is there? (I ship, if you were wondering, but I also ship Mazikeen/Lucifer and Mazikeen/Jill and all the Mazikeen ships, basically.) I'd love to know more about Duma too! His relationship with Lucifer is kind of fascinating: Lucifer has no problem accepting help from him at the duel, even though it's like pulling teeth for him to ask help from anyone else. Duma's silence is so very interesting to me, so any fic dealing with that would be great. |
letter |
| venofspade | Tara Duncan - Sophie Audoin-Mamikonian | Caliban Dal Salan | First off, I have to say I'm only about hafway through L'Impératrice Maléfique, but I'm fine with spoilers. So, Cal? Is my favourite character in these books, but again, I love everyone. I really love his sneakiness and the way his reaction to things seems to be both 'this is awesome' and 'this is ridiculous' and the fact that he managed to escape being possessed by the Ghosts tells me everything I need to know about him and how smart he is. I like how small/short he is because heroic short people are pretty rare. Plus, I find him hilarious. Cal doing Patented Thief on his own and being a badass would be awesome, as would teamfic. I'm fascinated by the little glimpses we get of Cal being a Patented Thief and want more. I also really love his friendship with the spider, so if you wrote them having adventures, it'd be awesome. Cal's freindship with the Castle is also amazing, so, you know, feel free to write that too. (The OTT-ness of the canon is part of why I love it, fyi, so go nuts.) And if you want to do worldbuilding and take Cal on the Thief Marathon of the century where he visits the most impenetrable vaults of Otherworld, that'd be so rad I'd get radiation poisonning. If you want to write some of the other cast members, I'm fascinated my Magister's back-story or what the Empress' daily life is like. I'd love to see a family reunion for Tara and everyone she's related to ever because it wil be hilariously glorious. I'm wondering how Moineau's parents handle the fact that their daughter and heir of having adventures all over the world. On the whole, I feel like the canon is a bit all-Tara-all-the-time (fair's fair, it's her name on the cover), so I would love a chance for the others to shine. |
letter |
| venofspade | Ultimate Comics Spider-Man | Clone Gwen Stacy (Ultimateverse) | GWEN STACY! I am so incredibly happy to be able to request her this year. Because if you've been following this thing at all, you know it wasn't a given, also lol Clone Gwen Stacy wow. She's one of my favourite Marvel characters and definitely my favourite Ultimate Comics character. I love the way she stands for what is right even against Captain America and how kind she is. I love that her first thought is always 'how can I help?' and that she isn't afraind to take matters into her own hands, but that she knows enough to not get in the way. I want to know about Gwen's life with May in Paris or in New York. (If you're wondering how accurate I want Paris to be, don't worry! I may be a Parisian, but I've long since decided, that, for reasons named Matt Fraction Journey into Mystery/Thor 617, Marvel!Paris is an AU of ours. So you're good to go, so long as you remember with one is Rive Gauche (south bank) and which one is Rive Droite (north bank).) I want MJ and Gwen fighting crime! Either in canon as non-powered vigilante or as an AU where one of them got spider-powers or is a mutant or IN SPAAACE. Also, Katie Bishop can come too (and Cassie Lang). I would any and all manners of Gwen standing up for what's right with or without superpowers, with or without back-up. (Also, I sort of ship MJ/Gwen and Gwen/Katie, despite the fact that these two haven't met.) I want to know what Gwen's been up to in the gap year of Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man. I want to know if Gwen ever figured out it was Miles and Ganke at Peter's funeral. I want to know how Gwen feels knowing she shouted at Captain America, is she proud or does she not care? I want to know if Gwen takes first aid and/or self-defense classes or tapdancing lessons or something. I want to know all about Gwen's reaction to the events of Spider-men. Did she ever figure out Peter was lying to her about there being a her in his universe? Did she comfort MJ after Peter left in the Furymobile? Is she actually writing a book on May Parker's awesome choices in parenting? Does she take an interest in cloning and genetics due to her "situation" and become the world's leading geneticist? Does she ever save the day? Does she get involved more than she is in Miles' superhero life? What are her feelings on Jessica Drew? What are her feelings for Jessica Drew? Is Gwen secretly in fandom and writing MJ yuletide fic? Does she regret never getting to know Miles' mom? Does she go to college and is roommates with a superhero? Will I ever stop asking rhetorical questions? I want to read everything about Gwen, please and thank you. |

| ShadedTopaz | Highlander: The Raven | Amanda Darieux (Highlander: The Raven) | Before The Raven, Amanda was a badass. I would lover to see her pull the wool over everyone's eyes and run into the sunset laughing, as if the series was just one big joke. Who wants to live forever? It can be a flashback, or a flash forward, a response to the death of Macleod or anything else, but I would love to see the return of the cheeky love to hate love interest from original series episodes like Queen of Spades. | letter |
| ShadedTopaz | Dungeon Keeper (Video Games) | An idea might be to explore the intricacies of the interesting relationship between minions like the mistress and the keeper, especially in early days, or, explain the process that a keeper uses to rise to power from the point of view of the underlings beneath. | letter | |
| ShadedTopaz | Fate/Zero | I love Saber. I love everything about her. I don't mind what story you write, whether it be a love story (it would be interesting to see the Lancelot/Gwenyvere story in this alternate universe), or a conquest, or a modern day interaction between herself and any of the characters. Please. Whatever you do, try to maintain that poise that Saber maintains all the way throughout Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night. |
letter | |
| ShadedTopaz | RWBY | This beautiful series has such potential, but needs a writer's aid. Use any of the characters as a jumping off point, but I love the mystery of Blake, and the Weiss from the trailer. I would love it if you could bring back a little bit of that atmosphere that the characters had before they had voices. | letter | |
| Shadowblight | Maria-sama ga Miteru | Satou Sei, Takeshima Tsutako | tandard disclaimer: I will buy just about any ship you try to sell me if you write it well (and I am rather a fan of femslash), but gen is perfectly fine as well. I am sorry if these optional details sound like summaries; just remember they're really optional! :D Sei is an ad executive. Tsutako is a photographer for an up-and-coming magazine. Their paths cross in the most benign of ways, but their penchants for mischief makes their common project a wild ride for everyone involved - especially each other. Bonus points for including Lillian references/memories. |

| Shadowblight | Strike Witches | Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke, Sakamoto Mio, Gertrud Barkhorn, Charlotte E.

I am sorry if these optional details sound like summaries; just remember they're really optional! :D Post-Season 2. Minna is thrown off-guard by Mio's request: a drink at the local bar before the send-off. I imagined this as a more serious piece, but I suppose you could just proceed to make fun of Mio's alcohol tolerance... ;) Alternatively, I love Minna and Trude's relationship - very crisp appearing on the outside, but I feel like there's something behind that. Maybe a little vingette into their far past, or even in the near future. Lastly, I've been somewhat converted by fanart to enjoy Trude/Shirley. IDEK. Anyhow, I do just in general find their interactions sort of interesting. Maybe just a piece where Shirley can finally get Trude to admit she's being a blockhead? ^^ |
letter |
| Shadowblight | Rinne no Lagrange | Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne | Muginami (Rinne no Lagrange), Lan | Fin E Ld Si Laffinty, Kyouno Madoka | tandard disclaimer: I will buy just about any ship you try to sell me if you write it well (and I am rather a fan of femslash - and in the case of this fandom, multi), but gen is perfectly fine as well. I am sorry if these optional details sound like summaries; just remember they're really optional! :D Post-Season 2. Road trip, IN SPACE. I really love these girls and the way they interact. I would love to see them on a trip to someplace to relax. As someone wise once said: the journey is more important than the destination, but I'll leave the choice to you in the end on the way to write this! |
letter |
| Shadowblight | Ikki Tousen | Battle Vixens | Sonsaku Hakufu, Ryuubi Gentoku, Ryomou Shimei, Kanu Unchou | tandard disclaimer: I will buy just about any ship you try to sell me if you write it well (and I am rather a fan of femslash), but gen is perfectly fine as well. I am sorry if these optional details sound like summaries; just remember they're really optional! :D Post Season 2 or 3, probably. Ryomou's known for pulling out all the stops when it comes to the wire, so what happens when that wire involves the true destiny she had 1800 years ago -- being the outright downfall of the God of War, Kan'u Unchou? I feel like these two have, throughout the series, rather respected each other for their resolve to their respective lords, but I guess I'd really love to see something dealing more with it than the touch upon it during Season 1. (In case it's not clear, yes, I'm perfectly fine with the romanticized versions, including Dynasty Warrior style bents. In fact, I'm more familiar with these. xD) Alternatively, I really like Sonsaku's bumbling, over-eager nature, but with a resolve of steel. It's sort of refreshing from your typical heroine ditz with no backbone or wanting to solve things with peace instead of fists. Something highlighting these features, especially with any of the other characters already linked would be awesome. :) |

| Sharksdontsleep | Aliens (1986) | Jenette Vasquez | Vasquez is pretty much my forever girl, and her and Gorman's deaths are like, my id in terms of romantic self-sacrifice and the comfort of human contact in horrible situations. I'd prefer anything about Vasquez and Gorman - their backstory, their conflicts, if they were ever anything to one another before dying together. Obviously, it's a violent movie, but it's war-violent, not necessarily about body-horror the way the first movie was, so I'd prefer that. Please don't kill off Ripley or Newt. No underage, please. | letter |
| Sharksdontsleep | Baseball RPF | José Fernández, Bryce Harper, Jayson Werth, Gio Gonzalez | I love gen baseball fiction, shippy baseball fiction, AU baseball fiction, whatever. I would ask that there not be fic about the Giants, Braves, or Cardinals - sorry, not my teams. I'm fine with (encourage!!!) Nats fic, Marlins fic, stuff about losing as much as about winning. I definitely like the mentor-mentee relationships in baseball, so anything exploring that would be great. I'm also quite fond of looking at Jose Fernandez and Gio Gonzalez smile. | letter |
| Sharksdontsleep | Orange is the New Black | Dayanara "Daya" Diaz | I picked Daya as my character, but would be fine with anything that's not Piper/Larry/Alex focused. I love the backstories the show fills in, and would be happy with backstory for a character we haven't seen yet. I'd love for the tone of the fic to match the tone of the show - screamingly funny and tragic in turn. I can understand having violence/some of the stuff I said I was less cool with on-screen for this, though would prefer it not to be made to seem romantic. 'Day in the Life' fic for any of the less explored characters would be great. | letter |
| Sharksdontsleep | Orphan Black (TV) | Alison Hendrix, Cosima Niehaus, Delphine Cormier, Art Bell | I filled in characters, but again, would be cool with a lot of stuff, so long as it matches the tone of the show. I don't know if I'd go for Cosima/Delphine schmoop, but I love their relationship nonetheless. I'd also love to see Art's perspective on all this - his discovering clone club. Or Alison trying to keep everything together and being her batshit wonderful self. I don't find Helena a particularly compelling character, but other than that, it's pretty much all good. | letter |
| Shayheyred | Returner (2002) | Mizoguchi (Returner), Miyamoto (Returner) | Anything about the relationship of our anti-hero Miyamoto and the creepy cool gangster Mizoguchi would be welcome, especially if it's about their history and ESPECIALLY especially if it's slash. Long leather coat fetishes are perfectly welcome, as is any rating up through Explicit. | letter |
| Shayheyred | As You Like It - Shakespeare | Jaques de Boys (As You Like It) | In AYLI we learn all about the de Boys boys....except for Jaques de Boys, who arrives on the last page just to make an announcement. Not to be confused with Jaques the Duke's man, Jaques de Boys gets no storyline at all, and I think that's a shame. Where has he been? At school with Hamlet and Horatio? Fighting against Henry V? Sailing the seas with Antonio and Sebastian? Does he have a tragic love somewhere, perhaps Juliet? Use your imagination and tell me the story of Jaques de Boys, and how he relates -- or doesn't -- to his brothers and/or other characters of literature. All ratings welcome, plus slash, gen, het, angst, iambic pentameter or modern jargon -- anything except fluff. | letter |
| Shayheyred | Coriolanus - Shakespeare | Caius Martius (Coriolanus), Tullus Aufidius | Ever since I saw Patrick Stewart in his prime play Aufidius at the RSC at I've hungered for a story about about the relationship between Aufidius and captive Coriolanus. There's something about the relationship between these enemies that SCREAMS "slash and UNKNOWN BACKSTORY!" to me. Wouldn't mind some sexy prisoner-and-captor content, and clearly all ratings are welcome. The inclusion of historical details would be particularly welcome. | letter |
| Shayheyred | MasterChef (TV) RPF | Joe Bastianich | Joe Bastianich goes to Hell. Seriously; I would love to see what the King of the Fishy-Eyed Stare has to endure when he meets the King of Hell...or anyone else he meets there. All cultural references welcome, all ratings welcome. Obviously I'm looking for comedy here, but pain and humiliation of body and spirit are absolutely delightful to consider. Use your imagination! |
letter |
| Sheeana | Blue Beetle (Comics) | Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle) | Jaime as Blue Beetle makes me so happy. I love the theme of "legacy" in this series. One thing I find really interesting is the Scarab, and how Jaime seems to have influenced its personality and free will. I love his relationship with his family and friends, how supportive they are. I also love the unorthodox mentor-student thing he has going on with Peacemaker, and the hero-villain-reluctant-allies thing he has with La Dama, too. If you want to include any pairings, I love Jaime/Traci. Some prompts: 1) Jaime's wacky adventures stranded on the opposite side of the galaxy. 2) Jaime when he grows up. What's he like when he's an adult? Is he on a team? How do he and the Scarab handle things when Jaime's finally figured out how all his powers work? 3) It's take-your-little-sister-to-work day for superheroes! I'd love anything about Jaime and Milagro doing something together. See my letter for general likes/dislikes and more details! |
letter |
| Sheeana | Batgirl (Comics) | Stephanie Brown (Batgirl), Damian Wayne (Batgirl) | I thought the issues where these two worked together were so cute. I loved how they bickered, how they begrudgingly learned to coexist, and how Steph decided to try to teach Damian how to be a kid. Damian's smug, arrogant little self is infuriatingly adorable, and I love how flippant he can be about causing harm to property or people in the name of the mission. I'm really hoping for friendship fic of some sort here, and I don't have any pairings I like specifically for this series. Some prompts: 1) Anything where they have to team up again and fight bad guys, either just the two of them or alongside other members of the Bat-family/other heroes. 2) Steph takes Damian on more kid outings. 3) Something goes seriously wrong in Gotham and affects everyone's minds, and Steph and Damian are the only two heroes left unaffected. They have to save the day together. See my letter for general likes/dislikes and more details! |
letter |
| Sheeana | Runaways (Comics) | Gertrude Yorkes (Runaways) | I really love how the Runaways are different from a lot of other young hero teams, how they completely reject authority figures and rely solely on each other. I miss Gert a lot, especially her sarcasm and her cynicism. I also think having a telepathic dinosaur is pretty much the coolest superpower anyone could ever have. I love Gert/Chase, but I'd be equally happy with gen fic! I especially like Gert's friendship with Nico. Some prompts: 1) Gert comes back and reunites with Chase and Old Lace and the rest of the team. 2) Girls' night out (or girls' night in). I'd love something about Gert and her relationship with and any/all of the other Runaways girls — either domestic family stuff, or superhero shenanigans. 3) Gert lives, but Chase dies instead. How does that affect her? Does it change how things play out? See my letter for general likes/dislikes and more details! |
letter |
| Sheeana | Young Avengers | Tommy Shepherd (Young Avengers), David Alleyne (Young Avengers) | Young Avengers was my first comic fandom, and I still love it. I really enjoyed these two together in issue 6. I think they could have made a good team if Tommy hadn't disappeared. One thing that struck me was how lonely Tommy might have been in the absence of the rest of the former team, considering how quickly he latched onto David as his friend (though I guess Tommy does everything quickly). I ship Tommy/David, so if you want to write pairing fic, that would be awesome — but gen where they're just friends would be great too. Some prompts: 1) Tommy and David team up on a more permanent basis and fight crime. 2) Tommy introduces David to the family. The whole Maximoff family. (Either as his new boyfriend or as his new BFF.) 3) Something that puts the two of them in extremely adverse circumstances where they only have each other to rely on (ex. stranded in another dimension, or caught in the middle of a huge disaster). See my letter for general likes/dislikes and more details! |
letter |
| Sheeana | Avengers Academy | Brandon Sharpe (Avengers Academy) | It was interesting to watch all the characters change throughout this series, especially Brandon. I like how he's not what he seems at first - not just an arrogant jerk, even if he totally is an arrogant jerk a lot of the time. I thought his struggle with whether or not he was willing to risk his life for others was interesting, and so was seeing him deal with his past. I don't have any specific Brandon ships, but if you want to give him a boyfriend — either a canonical Marvel character or an OC — please do! I did enjoy his date with Jonathan, so if you want to expand on that, that would be cool. Some prompts: 1) Something set after the end of Avengers Academy, when he's a bit older. 2) Brandon hanging out with either Maddy or Julie. I love his friendship with both of them. 3) What would he be like if he did become a villain, like the teachers were afraid they all would? This could include any of the other students as well. See my letter for general likes/dislikes and more details! |
letter |
| hell | Lazarus (Comics) | Forever Carlyle | Basically I think the world needs more Forever Carlyle in it. Feel free to have her interacting with any of the other characters; I almost requested Joacquim as well, but I wanted to leave things more open for whoever's writing. There are so many places you could go, and they're all awesome! I love the world-building in the book, too. I'll post more prompts in my letter, but feel free to just go where Forever takes you. | letter |
| hell | Neo Ned (2005) | Rachael (Neo Ned), Ned (Neo Ned) | There's a lot that I really loved about this movie, but I didn't love the ending. I'd prefer not to read anything canon-compliant set after Rachael kills the guy. Back-story is fine, something set while they're living together, or more about either or both of their pasts before they meet. I'd also love a story that changed up the ending--either happier or darker, actually, because the whole "Ned is happy going to prison" thing really didn't work for me at all. I listed both characters, but it's okay if you just want to focus on one. |
letter |
| hell | FF (Comic) | Wu (FF), Tong (FF), Bentley-23 (FF), Vil (FF) | I just basically love these characters and want to see more of them interacting. Vil and Wu are such a mystery! What's really in Bentley-23's heart? And, Tong, man, who doesn't love Tong? Once again, I listed all four characters, but it's totally cool if you just want to focus on one of them. I'd love to get a story from any one of their POVs. |
letter |
| hell | Saga (Comics) | Hazel (Saga), Marko (Saga), Alana (Saga) | ga! I love the family of Marko, Alana, and Hazel. Pretty much anything is good here--backstory, stuff that's related to the latest chapters of the book, future-fic--but I think I'd like future-fic the best. Feel free to bring in other characters, especially Lying Cat, but I'd prefer something happier, not something dark and depressing. And again, it's okay if you want to focus on just one of the characters. |
letter |
| hell | Major Crimes (TV) | Sharon Raydor, Rusty Beck | haron and Rusty are my OTP for Major Crimes, in a total family-home and non-sexual sense. I just love the two of them together, Rusty damaged and healing, Sharon prickly and keeping her deep emotional attachment mostly under wraps. | letter |
| hewhoguards | Sesame Street (TV) | Cookie Monster | Please watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shbgRyColvE . Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx1nohLV2yE It turns out that while I was off growing up Sesame Street got all snarky (and AWESOME). I love this Cookie Monster. Please give me stories of what else he does to convince people to give him cookies. Crossovers for this prompt are welcome (but please keep it PG13 friendly? Do not want EG Cookie Monster whoring himself out for cookies. For that matter, do not really want Cookie Monster romance either. Gen is good here. Nice funny gen). |
letter |
| hewhoguards | Chalet School - Elinor M. Brent-Dyer | Juliet Carrick, Kay O'Hara, Donal O'Hara | In The Chalet School and Jo Juliet comes back from university all miserable. When quizzed she finally explains that she made best friends while away with Kay, who also introduced her to her brother Donal. However, when Kay finds out about Juliet's parents (shock! Horror!) she wants nothing more to do with her and makes sure Donal does either. Although Juliet finally marries Donal, frankly it's losing Kay she sounds REALLY upset about. I would be fine with Juliet/Kay for this prompt (although no explicit sex scenes please. What it was like before Kay found out, the argument when she did, and how on earth their relationship goes when Juliet marries Donal - all these would make good stories. Perfectly fine with unhappy endings if the story goes that way. |
letter |
| hewhoguards | The Chronicles of St Mary's - Jodi Taylor | Leon Farrell | The Chief is that rare thing, a love interest with personality who I don't want to smack. I would love to have his backstory fleshed out a bit; how did they put the plan for him going back together, and what was it like for him on arrival? | letter |
| hewhoguards | The Chronicles of Chrestomanci - Diana Wynne Jones | Mordecai Roberts | Tacroy | Tacroy! My favourite under-used character! The world NEEDS more Mordecai gen. I have searched AO3 and found disappointingly little. However, the part of Tacroy's history which intrigues me most is the part where he comes from another world as a child as a spy (and they still have a hold on him). It gets mentioned briefly so Christopher can rescue him and then NEVER AGAIN and damn if I don't want more about that. (Angst please? Angst would be so welcome here) |
letter |
| hewhoguards | Dark Ground - Gillian Cross | Zak (Dark Ground) | How did Zak get shrunk? We KNOW there's a specific trauma for everyone who gets shrunk, but the story never goes near what his was and I want to knooow. How did he get to have the role he has? How do we get to where we are at the start of the series? Again, angst is welcome here. | letter |
| hewhoguards | Exiles - Melanie Rawn | There are so MANY stories I'd like in this woefully unfinished series. Cailet growing up in the Waste as a kid! Val and his daughter! Val and Alin! Anything at all about Collan (oh, Collan) especially the backstory we never got of who he is. Also Sarra/Collan are one of my favourite couples in anything ever. | letter | |
| ShfiftyFive | Lizzie Bennet Diaries | William Darcy (LBD), Lydia Bennet (LBD), Mary Bennet (LBD) | ||
| ShfiftyFive | New Girl | Nick Miller Jessica Day (New Girl) Winston Bishop Schmidt (New Girl) | ||

| hieldmaidenofmithrilhall | White Christmas (1954) | Phil Davis, Judy Haynes | Phil and Judy in rehearsal, or scheming to set up Bob and Betty. The moment when Phil and Judy realize they want the engagement to be real | |
| hieldmaidenofmithrilhall | Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) | Dorcas (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)), Benjamin Pontipee, Adam Pontipee, Milly Pontipee | ||
| hieldmaidenofmithrilhall | Sense and Sensibility (1995) | Lucy Steele (S&S 1995) | Lucy/Edward or Lucy/Robert or just Lucy being amazingly bitchy, please. She is the best. | |
| hieldmaidenofmithrilhall | Emma - Jane Austen | Frank Churchill, Jane Fairfax | I LOVE Frank and Jane. I love how much he loves her and how he can't shut up about her, even to the point of being TOTALLY obvious in his affection for her. Please write a stolen scene between the two of them at one of the parties, or a moment when they're married and reflecting on how ridiculous their engagement was. Or how uptight Jane is instructing her daughters to never do the same crazy things she did. | |
| hieldmaidenofmithrilhall | Singin' in the Rain (1952) | Cosmo Brown, Don Lockwood, Kathy Selden | I love the friendship between these three. I'm happy if Kathy and Don are dating, but I don't need all the mushy stuff here, because it's the dynamic friendship that makes this movie pop. Maybe they're all scheming or relaxing on set one day. | |
| hinealightonme | Westing Game - Ellen Raskin | Josie-Jo Ford | This was one of my favorite books as a kid, and Judge Ford was one of my favorite characters. I'd love to see a story of her when she's younger, maybe showing the bizarre friendship she had with Sam Westing and how she became so cynical about him. Or maybe a story set after the book, featuring her and Turtle? They get along rather well during the final mock-trial scene, and they're often on the same page. | letter |
| hinealightonme | Tricksters - Tamora Pierce | Ochobu Dodeka, Ulasim Dodeka, Junai Dodeka | I would love a story that delved into this family. We gets hints of drama between Ulasim and Ochobu, but it largely goes unexplored - and we rarely see Junai interact with either her father or her grandmother. How did they balance family matters and their crucial roll in the rebellion? Could be a dramatic story or a more slice-of-life piece that gives them some time to just be people and not soldiers. All three don't need to be equally featured, if you'd rather - I'd love to see Ochobu giving Kyprioth a piece of her mind, or coming to terms with Lady Nuritin during Trickster's Queen; or maybe a story about Junai hanging out with the other bodyguards/lady's maids. | letter |
| hinealightonme | Redshirts - John Scalzi | Finn (Redshirts), Maia Duvall, Jasper Hester | I would love to read about Finn and Maia being partners-in-crime, with Hester exasperatedly getting dragged alone. Could be a missing scene, alternate universe, blatant fix-it fic set up, etc. - however you explain them all still being crew together is no concern of mine. An adventure or humor piece would be most appreciated here! | letter |
| hinealightonme | Savvy Series - Ingrid Law | Dinah Kale, Jenny Beaumont | These two capture my imagination SO MUCH from relatively little page-time. What kind of savvy is "being perfect"? What does that mean, really, for Jenny? For her older sister, who I'm sure just loved having a little sister who gets everything right? And as for Dinah, she seems fairly cavalier about using her savvy to bend people to her will. How did their savvies shape their lives and their relationship with each other? Something in the style of the books, maybe a coming of age, bittersweet kind of thing, would be excellent. | letter |
| hinealightonme | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Keladry of Mindelan, Wyldon of Cavall | Gen, please (or if you want to toss in some background romance with any of the canon ships, that's fine, but no Kel/Wyldon shipping). I think these two had one of the most interesting relationships in the series, with Wyldon learning to respect Kel and Kel looking up to him for his good qualities while still disagreeing with his politics. Any story that shows some interaction they might have post-series would be great, or maybe a missing scene from Squire or Lady Knight where these two get to chat. I also love Owen (how silly he is with Kel and how he must get under Wyldon's skin), so feel free to throw him in. I also love Ilane, how matter of fact she is and that time she chewed Wyldon out, so feel free to include her too! Actually I love everyone in this series, so include whoever you like. | letter |
| hinobi93 | Oryx and Crake - Margaret Atwood | Snowman (Oryx and Crake) | ome kind of extra scene from Snowman's past would be great, perhaps expanding on something from the book. Any Jimmy/Crake would be awesome, perhaps looking at how their friendship originally spilled over boundaries or something, perhaps one-sided if that's how you see it. | |
| hinobi93 | A Dead Man in Deptford - Anthony Burgess | Christopher Marlowe (A Dead Man in Deptford), Thomas Walsingham (A Dead Man in Deptford) | I just really want fic for Burgess' characterisation of Marlowe, particularly if it also involves his interactions with other characters. Something from Kit's point of view might be interesting considering the narrator of the book is meant to be making assumptions/making it up, or something from Tom Walsingham's point of view. On that note, anything about their complicated relationship would be brilliant. Not into just smut, but quite happy with it within a storyline/as a necessary part of the scene. Don't feel you have to try and emulate Burgess' style at all, but at the same time, it's great if you do. Essentially, any fic based on this book would be totally awesome. Totally crazy/crack-y things also fine (I mean, Burgess wrote the 'Kit's dad walking in on them' scene after all). |
|
| hinobi93 | Edward II - Marlowe | Edward II of England (Marlowe), Piers Gaveston (Marlowe) | I need more of Edward and Gaveston and their interactions before they die. Canon or AU is fine (I love crazy play AUs), and I'm not too worried about complete historical accuracy because, let's be real, Marlowe wasn't either. Some assorted prompts, if any are useful, but feel free to disregard all: Pre-play - what were they like, what was it like when Gaveston was originally banished, how did their first meeting go, etc. Gaveston's take on the play's events (before he dies, obviously), what he thinks of Edward's actions Views on their actions from another third party - perhaps somehow someone doesn't see them as badly as everyone else does |
|
| hinobi93 | Swords of Albion - Mark Chadbourn | Here are some assorted prompts, although really anyone writing for this series will get my gratitude regardless: Anything about Will's sense of his own act, how he's the image of England's greatest spy but also a flawed man Pretty much any ship would be great from this series, obvious or not, but particularly some Will/Nathaniel, Carpenter/Launceston, or Will/Kit Marlowe Any of the characters getting into hijinks in London, either something lighthearted and fun or more like one of their usual missions (or someone like Grace ending up doing more of a spy thing than they do or something) Any kind of AU also great (modern spies?) |
||
| hinobi93 | The Hollow Crown (2012) | Prince Hal (The Hollow Crown (2012)), Edward "Ned" Poins (The Hollow Crown (2012)) | Well, I always need more Hal/Poins fic in my life, so if you're up for writing that, then that'd be utterly brilliant, set in canon or any kind of AU. Or their friendship, how their dynamic works etc. Some prompt ideas, if you'd like them: Poins' POV of any events (the ending? yes, his POV of the ending); some kind of canon divergence fic; Doll's POV opinion of people in the play; seeing as this is Hollow Crown specific, you could always try justify why *that* scene was set in some kind of sauna Alternatively, some kind of ensemble of the Boar's Head tavern lot? Maybe what a typical night is like, if there is a typical night for them. |
|
| hoemaster | Titanic (1997) RPF | Leonardo DiCaprio (Titanic RPF), Kate Winslet (Titanic RPF) | I ship them A Lot. Their friendship is so great and wonderful but I'm dying to see them in a romantic relationship. (lots more detail in the letter) | letter |
| hoemaster | Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein | Maddie Brodatt, Julie Beaufort-Stuart | omething happy? So pre-book unless you want to write some fix-it fic. I love their relationship as friendship or romance (and I do ship it real hard). | letter |
| hoemaster | 21 Jump Street (2012) | Greg Jenko, Zack (21 Jump Street) | Love Jenko's adventures with the science nerds! would love to see more of those. And I kind of wound up shipping him and Zack - feel free to set it sometime in the future if you go that route. | letter |
| hoemaster | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | October "Toby" Daye, Quentin (Toby Daye) | I love the platonic relationship between these two, would love to see fall out from the end of Chimes at Midnight! I ship Toby/Tybalt and Quentin/Raj if you want to include that, and I adore The Luidaeg and their relationship with her. | letter |
| hoemaster | Miracle (2004) | Jack O'Callahan, Rob McClanahan | The chemistry between these two (and the face punching) is one of my favorite things about the movie. I'd love to see hate sex become not so hate-y sex, or just stuff about them and the whole team. | letter |
| hopfront | Elementary (TV) | Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary), Joan Watson (Elementary) | I love the set up of Moriarty and Joan as opposites, good vs evil, and all that jazz. I especially loved that Moriarty so severely underestimated Joan. There are many things that Elementary does well and surprisingly with its female characters, but I'd most love to see this good/evil dynamic taken further - and in a way that doesn't involve or rotate around Sherlock. Femslash or gen welcome, I would love to see them influence each other/believable ways to muddy Joan's hands and soften Moriarty's edges. | letter |
| hopfront | Creature Court Trilogy - Tansy Rayner Roberts | Velody (Creature Court), Delphine (Creature Court) | The women in this series are kick-arse and layered and some of them really have each others backs, and it's amazing. I love the friendship between Velody, Delphine and Rhian, and the way they all go after their dreams together at the beginning, and how they're the most important thing to each other. It would be great to see some more of how Velody and Delphine continue being kick-arse, layered and devoted to each other towards/after the end of the series. Femslash or gen is fine but either way please no variations of Velody/Ash/Garnet, and please feel free to bring other women from the series into the mix if you so choose. | letter |
| hopfront | Nina's Heavenly Delights (2006) | Nina Shah, Lisa Mackinlay | I love the inherent sweetness of this film and this pairing, the struggle Nina goes through and overcomes, and especially the love of cooking! I'd love something that continues that, perhaps: future fic with realistic fluffy domesticity (ie happy endings but not necessarily perfect, problem free lives together), backstory on their previous relationships with other women, and/or an exploration of the joys of cooking, or something else! One particular request though: please avoid the father/grief aspect of the storyline, as I could find it triggery. | letter |
| hopfront | Orphan Black (TV) | Alison Hendrix, Beth Childs, Cosima Niehaus | The way all the cloned women in this show relate to each other always either is or has the potential to be endlessly fascinating, so there's lots of ways you could play this. However, I often mourn that we don't get very much exploration of the relationship between the original three clones. Happy to see either femslash or gen, if you're comfortable really exploring the clone issue as being separate to or more complex than the incestuous overtones. One particular request though: please avoid Beth's suicide/mental illness, as I could find it triggery. | letter |
| horoko | Tales of the Crystals | Scribe (Tales of the Crystals), Protector (Tales of the Crystals), Leader (Tales of the Crystals), Healer (Tales of the Crystals) | This is my out there, random request. I played this game as a child and loved it for its girly fantasy genericness, and the game itself is pretty much "here are characters, setting, and a scenario - go make up a story!" What I've envisioned is roughly what would happen if someone took this game to a movie exec and said "fantasy films are popular right now, let's make one about this!" Do whatever you like - gritty reboot, cutesy fantasy story, whatever. The only thing I'd ask is that if you go along the lines of something satirical, please have fun at its genericness, or say, the ageism of the wise Oriana being young but the evil Morphia being an old woman pretending to be young, but please don't make fun of its girliness. Because being girly is okay! Also, I nominated the player characters, with the idea that the author could design them however they wanted. So I'd just say... I really like stories about ladies, preferably at least 50% ladies, and leave it at that. | letter |
| horoko | The Americans (TV 2013) | Elizabeth Jennings, Philip Jennings, Sandra Beeman, Claudia (The Americans) | I really am happy with any Americans fic - there is nothing in particular that I wouldn't like to see in my fic. These are the pretty basic prompts in my mind: - I don't have a scenario for it, but a circumstance that results in Philip and Elizabeth having an all-out brawl. This is purely an action sort of thing, just something that involves them getting into a physical, spy fight. - Anything Claudia backstory fic! Anything, though WW II especially? - I really love Philip/Elizabeth, but if you were into writing some disaffected wives Elizabeth/Sandra... - I didn't choose him here (there are many characters I'd choose, okay!), but if you'd be into writing Elizabeth/Gregory, that'd be cool, too. |
letter |
| horoko | Gyeongseong Scandal | Capital Scandal | Cha Song Joo, Na Yeo Kyeong, So Yeong Rang, Choi Hak Hee | Again, there's nothing I wouldn't want to see, other than that I do prefer stories about ladies. These are what I'd especially like to see: - I'd like to see Choi Hak Hee (Na Yeo Kyeong's mother) fic on her perspective as the widow of a revolutionary whose daughter is involved in revolutionary activities as well. - Anything about Cha Song Joo would make me happy, especially Song Joo-Yeo Kyeong friendship/makeovers/weapons training or etc. |
letter |
| horoko | Brick (2005) | Brendan Frye, Kara (Brick), The Brain (Brick), Laura Dannon | I mostly just want all the high school noir. The only thing I wouldn't be particularly interested in is something like Brendan/Brain slashfic - it's cool! It just doesn't interest me. As for prompts: - I'd like something like prequel fic, particularly Brendan-Kara (any kind of relationship, though I'm partial to flirtatious but platonic), when Brendan was a freshman once. - Brick/Veronica Mars crossover, sticking to Brick's style. And if it appeals to you, I'd be into Brendan/VeryJaded!Veronica. |
letter |
| horoko | Grim Fandango | Lola (Grim Fandango), Manny Calavera, Eva (Grim Fandango), Meche Colomar | There are so many possibilities for Grim Fandango fic given the huge time gaps, and I have nothing I wouldn't want to see, but here's what I'm partial to: - Some amount of the game from Eva's perspective. She's recruited to spy for an underground revolutionary organization, trains carrier pigeons for their secret communications, and becomes the leader's No. 2! I want to hear more about it! - There are so many possibilities for Manny, but my preference would be something from between Years 1 and 2, as Rubacava is my favorite. - Meche gap fic, maybe Year 2 to 3 when she's trapped on Domino's coral mine thing, or working with Manny between Years 3 and 4. |
letter |
| horoko | The Great Gatsby (2013) | Nick Carraway (2013 film), Jay Gatsby (2013 film), Daisy Buchanan (2013 film) | I only have one prompt for this, so I'm really, really sorry if it doesn't interest you, but: I want retrofuture AU fic where Gatsby is a humanlike android. And that's it. If you're into this, you can do any worldbuilding/sci-finess you want with this retro-flapper-future, and my main idea is essentially transposing Gatsby's narrative as unable to reach Daisy as essentially a machine who falls in love with a human woman. And maybe that flashing green light triggers something in his android mind, and he's programmed to pick up the mannerisms of people around him (e.g., old sport). So he can question his own identity (and maybe his love for Daisy)? I would also actually really love it if it were from Daisy's perspective rather than Gatsby's, but. If you like this idea, really, do what you want. Anyway, I'm sorry. |
letter |
| Shoshanna Gold (shoshannagold) | Marketplace Series - Laura Antoniou | Imala Anderson, Chris Parker (Marketplace) | I love the Marketplace universe, and Chris just came to life for me in "The Slave,” when he trained Robin. I didn't really like Robin, his trainee in that book, honestly, it was more about the way he handled her. It seemed like such a huge contrast to his role in the first book. I admit, I'm not as familiar with Imala, but the reason that I requested this fandom is because I trust that anybody who offered to write it would feel the same way I do about the whole universe as I do: in other words, be massive fans of hot, explicit bdsm erotica. That's what I would like, please. Preferably with Chris, but I'll take him as a Master or a slave. That being said, anything with smut will do, be it m/m, m/f, or f/f. I have a few bulletproof kinks, and will go into greater detail in the letter on my lj. | letter |
| Shoshanna Gold (shoshannagold) | Savages Series - Don Winslow | Ben Leonard, Chon McAlister, Ophelia "O" Sage | Ben/Chon/O, please. I've read the books, I've seen the movie, and I requested the movie because I am a sap for a happy ending, which the movie offers as a possibility. I don't mean the 'they all sailed off into the sunset' kind of ending, because I don't think that that's really in the cards for these kids. I do want to see O coping with being raped, both by leaning on her men, and on her own. At the same time, I'd also love to see Ben and Chon together. They had a great friendship as a base, but potentially losing O made them so much closer, and in my happy world, that means that they hooked up. I'd love to see the two of them turning to each other when she'd gone, how that happens, and then how it goes on when they've got her back, and are all putting themselves back together. In that vein, what does it look like as the three of them find their way past their injuries, and losing their life in So Cal, and coming together in a new place. | letter |
| Shoshanna Gold (shoshannagold) | The Good Wife (TV) | Alicia Florrick, Will Gardner, Cary Agos, Grace Florrick | Oh, this show! It just keeps getting better! There are so many things I'd love to see here. I never really bought Alicia giving up her relationship with Will for the sake of her family. I don't know things are going to shake out now that Peter is governor and they are purportedly together again but I feel like Alicia is playing a long game here by starting her own firm — easier to be with someone when they aren't your boss, no. There's always been great tension between Will and Carey, and my secret slash goggles see them having an illicit, off and on, May-December thing that goes on for years, so I'd love to see that story, too. Grace is turning into such an interesting character, with the conflict of her faith and the sudden public attention as the teen daughter of a politician that she seems to find flattering, not to mention her attraction to, well, bad boys, for lack of a better term. So a story about her would be fantastic. | letter |
| Shoshanna Gold (shoshannagold) | The Killing | Sarah Linden, Stephen Holder | What's next for these Holder and Linden? I'd love a long, plotty case fic with lots of Holder going off on the kinds of monologues that were kind a lacking in Season three. I'd also love a story about how they finally get together, or even just start sleeping together. Maybe it turns into more, maybe it doesn't. | letter |
| Shoshanna Gold (shoshannagold) | House of Cards (US TV) | Francis Underwood, Zoe Barnes (House of Cards), Doug Stamper, Christina Gallagher | This show is great because it of how it how multi-dimensional the characters are, and I'd love to see more of that. Claire and Frank have a unique marriage — and now there's the possibility of a baby. How's that going to play out? Or other if you want to go in another direction, in the episode at the Citadel, it was clear that Frank and his old roommate were sleeping together, and maybe were even more than that. He clearly couldn't have risen the way he has if he was openly gay, but maybe he and Stamper have something going on. Stamper is wonderfully complex, and I'd love to know more about him. Zoe's another character who would be fascinating to explore — can things really work out with Lucas? I also really liked Christina: there's nothing better than a smart, astute woman in politics, and yet she just couldn't let go of Peter, no matter how much he messed up. So what's next for her? This show is all smut and politics, two of my favourite things, and I'd greatly enjoy a story that weaves the two together. | letter |
| Shoshanna Gold (shoshannagold) | All the President's Men (1976) | Bob Woodward (All the President's Men), Carl Bernstein (All the President's Men) | I've seen this movie so many more times than I can remember, and, well, I'd love to see them hook up. All that time together, all those late nights, the sheer thrill of uncovering the hugest political scandal of the decade (to that point)? All that is totally the recipe for either really hot sex or maybe an enduring loving partnership — I'm easy. I love post-movie stories, too, so what happens next for them, together or separately. Or flash forward a decade or two. Are they still working together? Are they living together? Do they rendezvous once a year for a secret weekend? Or maybe they uncover something else — I'd love to see a story that has them uncovering something as world-shaking as Watergate,again. It can be a real thing, it can be something made up — the sky's the limit! This is on that thin line between RPF and FPF, so ignore the real Bernstein and Woodward, if you like, or bring in whatever details of their lives that you like - whatever you're most comfortable with. | letter |
| hrala | Norse Religion & Lore | Loki (Norse Mythology) | I'd love to see some sort of futuristic AU story (no not Avengers) where magic and technology are mixed. A setting like Shadowrun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun) would be amazing. It could be that Loki is getting used to the world or that Loki has set himself up as a major player. Or maybe you could weave the old mythology into that world somehow? Any other characters from the mythology are welcome, but I'd rather not have any romance. Or if that's not your cup of tea, you can run with the original mythology because optional details are optional. | letter |
| hrala | Ai no Kusabi | Iason Mink, Riki (Ai no Kusabi) | I'd love to see an omegaverse AU where purebred pets are almost always omegas and rarely betas, but mongrels can be anything. So alpha Iason and with alpha Riki as his pet with a happier ending (so please no Guy or torture/death), and lots and lots of ducbon where Riki struggles with what he is and what he wants! Alternatively something set in the canon world with no Guy or death and a happy ending would be very welcome. | letter |
| hrala | A-Team (2010) | Templeton "Faceman" Peck, H. M. "Howling Mad" Murdock | I love the question of whether Murdock is really crazy or not, whether it's PTSD or schizophrenia. I also love supernatural explanations for it (random crossover idea: maybe Murdock is a decedent of Loki?). I love Face being Murdock's best friend and/or lover if you're comfortable going that route. Often it's Face taking care of Murdock, but I'd like to see Murdock taking care of face for whatever reason. Maybe a mission went wrong and Face and Murdock were separated, and Murdock has to take care of an injured Face. Or maybe for once Murdock is the one with the plan that saves everyone. | letter |
| hrala | Ao no Exorcist | Blue Exorcist | Okumura Rin, Okumura Yukio, Mephisto Pheles | I'm open to gen or ships with any of the characters above. I love Rin/Yukio angst be it as brothers or lovers or both. Will Rin and his friends be able to get strong enough to defeat Satan? Will Rin realize that he can't do it on his own? Will Yukio self-hate lead him to give into a demon and share his fathers fate? I love Mephisto's scheming. Him being Loki (from Norse mythology) could be fun. I think having a relationship with him would be hard because of how much he holds back. Is it worth the possible heartbreak to trust him? Could Rin believe that he's ever anything more to a weapon to Mephisto? Was his father truly being altruistic or what there more to it? | letter |
| hrala | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Grant Ward, Leo Fitz | omething featuring Grant/Leo would be great. They're both great at what they're do, but they're both completely hardheaded and have trouble seeing things from a different perspective, but I think they're learning. I love their sniping, and can see it leading to some great angry sex (bonus points if it's Leo who takes the lead). Though if sex isn't your thing, feel free to just write them trying to work together. | letter |
| hrift | Justified | Tim Gutterson | Tim Gutterson is a dry, sarcastic BAMF and I want to know more about him. What's he like when he's at home? Does he have a significant other who knows how terrible Raylan is as a coworker? What was his life like growing up? If you want to include other characters, I'd love to see him interact with anyone on the show. |
letter |
| hrift | Husbands (Web Series) | Brady Kelly, Cheeks (Husbands) | Pretending to be in a relationship is my kryptonite, and this show is a variation of it that just makes me gleeful. I'd love anything that's funny and adorable like the show. You could layer a cliche upon a cliche! This is a fandom where I think screwball romantic comedy is totally appropriate. If you want to include other characters, please do! |
letter |
| hrift | Mystery Science Theater 3000 | Cambot | Tell me about the secret life of Cambot! Does Cambot have hobbies? A sense of humor? What does Cambot think of Joe Don Baker's oeuvre? Is Cambot a sweetheart or a creeper? It's a question for the ages. If you want to include other characters, please do! |
letter |
| hrift | The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman | Ginny Hempstock | I'd love to know more about the Hempstock family. They're so INTERESTING, especially Ginny! Perhaps a day in the life, or what it's like for Ginny to have an ocean for a daughter now, or why the men leave and the women stay. If you want to include other characters, please do! |
letter |
| hrift | The Hour | Marnie Madden | When I started watching the show, I initially was unsure of Marnie, but by the end I was cheering, "Fuck yeah, Marnie!" I'd like to know more about her journey from what appeared to be a very constrained childhood to where she is at the end of the series. If you want to include other characters, please do! And a big absolutely-yes-please to her interacting with other women on the show. |

| iddals | Twin Peaks | Audrey Horne, Dale Cooper | Cooper/Audrey is my OTP so I'd love any fic for them that focuses on their relationship, whether sexual or not (though I'd prefer not to see a sexual relationship between them during the canon timeline - any time post S2 is fine, though). If that's not working for you, I'd also love gen fic about Audrey Horne and anything that explores her backstory or remedies her rather depressing end in canon and gives her the chance to really find her own footing and gain independence and happiness outside of Twin Peaks. | |
| iddals | Stoker (2013) , | Charlie Stoker, India Stoker, Evelyn Stoker Richard Stoker | I'd like pretty much anything about these characters, though not all of them have to be included, of course. I'd really like India/Charlie fic (whether sexual or not - pretty much anything exploring their dynamic would be fantastic) or India gen, maybe focusing on her life after the film? Also, I loved Evelyn and wish there had been more of her in the movie so something centered around Evelyn and her life after the movie or her backstory/relationship with Richard and how she came to be part of the Stoker family would be fantastic. | |
| iddals | Les Revenants | The Returned (TV) | Camille Séguret, Léna Séguret, Laure (Les Revenants), Julie Meyer | Either Julie/Laure fic or gen exploring the Camille-Lena relationship would be great. Also, pretty much anything involving Lena would make me super happy - she's my favorite character on the show and some sort of exploration of her character and life would be fantastic. (I'd prefer not to see her shipped with Serge though - of course it happened in canon and dealing with it within those bounds is fine but I'd rather it not be the focus.) | |
| iddals | Slings & Arrows | Geoffrey Tennant, Ellen Fanshaw | eriously anything Ellen/Geoffrey - those two are forever my OTP and I will love you if you give them to me in all their messed up glory. Something post-series with them as a married couple would be great or pre-breakup but honestly, I'm not particular. | |

| ilentcs | Disney Princesses | Megara (Disney Princess) | Megara is a girl with a past, and it would be neat to know more about it. But I am equally intrigued by her future - how does she fit in with Herc's newfound family? How's life without Hades dogging her heels? | |
| ilentcs | Parks and Recreation | Donna Meagle | I'd love to know more about Donna. We're always finding her in unexpected places, living it up. What's it like to be Donna outside of the office? What's it like to be Donna in the office? What's waiting for her in Seattle? I honestly would enjoy anything that explored her life, even if it were more surprising outsider perspective. | |
| ilentcs | Keeping Up Appearances | I feel like I'd appreciate anything in this universe - the mishaps that befell a younger Hyacinth, the social victories that drive her forward. Does she ever move away? Does she ever move away and the neighborhood suddenly realize they miss her? What else makes Elizabeth jumpy? | ||
| ilksieve | House of Mirth - Edith Wharton | Lily Bart, Lawrence Seldon | Could I ask for fix-it fic here? What if Lily's overdose hadn't been fatal, or Selden/someone reached her in time to help? I'd love to see a story where Lily builds herself back up, even in a modest way, after having found her self-respect at the end of the book. A character study on Selden or some romance would be great, too, although I would love it if Lily had agency and Selden acknowledges his biases and carelessness where Lily is concerned. I love that these characters are imperfect, and am happy for you to keep them that way and not to make it easy on them. Dialogue and those lovely Gilded Age details are icing on the cake. Thank you so much for writing this year!!! | letter |
| ilksieve | Brief Encounter (1945) | Laura Jesson, Alec Harvey | You know how at the end of the movie, Alec says that it will be a long time before they see each other again, perhaps years? I'd love a story that happens 10-20 years after the movie, and Alec and Laura meet again for the first time. The kids are grown, perhaps Alec moves back to England. The automatic soulmate recognition is still there (perhaps there's a sense of relief or of finally seeing the one again), and some of that lip-quivering restraint. Ultimately, I love the buried emotion of the story and the respect that the characters have for each other, so anything you write along these lines will be lovely. Whether you want to make the story sweet or bittersweet is entirely up to you! | letter |
| ilksieve | Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Video Games) | The Prince (Prince of Persia), Farah (Prince of Persia) | I love the storytelling, world building, and character building of this series. (For these reasons, Sands of Time and Two Thrones are among my favorite games ever-- and why I also like to pretend Warrior Within never happened.) The details of all these aspects were incredibly rich, so if you want to build on any of them, I'd be delighted! Plot-wise, I've love to see an exploration of what came next: It would be wonderful to see the Prince finally facing and shouldering the responsibilities to his people and his position, and the rebuilding of Babylon. I have a little weakness for hearts of gold, so it'd be awesome to see that side of him realized. :) The Prince's sarcastic commentary was definitely a highlight in the game, so that would be more than welcome, too. I also love Farah as a strong character, especially the TT version of her, and romance makes me happy. But write whatever pleases you! Thank you!! | letter |
| ilksieve | Roman Holiday (1953) | Joe Bradley, Princess Ann | I adore the banter and charm of the movie, and some sort of continuation of the story would be great! I desperately want Princess Ann and Joe to be together. Or to maintain some sort of relationship, even if they don't see each other all the time. It would be great to see Princess Ann grow into her role, and having a rich private life as she gets more secure and confident in her public persona. Any romance and future happiness would be lovely. | letter |
| Silverfox | Forgotten Realms - Songs and Swords - Elaine Cunningham | Elaith Craulnober (Songs and Swords), Danilo Thann (Songs and Swords) | I just love to see these two interact, but that doesn't mean you have to limit it to just these two. | letter |
| Silverfox | Napoleonic Wars RPF | Michel Ney (Napoleonic Wars RPF), John Colborne (Napoleonic Wars RPF), Duke of Wellington (Napoleonic Wars RPF) | I admit it's a very odd combination of characters, so feel free to leave one or even two out, if you have to. | letter |
| Silverfox | Regency Buck - Georgette Heyer | Beau Brummell (Regency Buck) | I just loved how Heyer portrayed Brummell and wish we'd seen more of him. Alas, it never happened and she is dead now, so it never will. So I turn to you with my wish instead. | letter |
| Silverfox | Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs | Jesse Blue | Just one request: No more of his stupid infatuation with April. - Unless it's him or her looking back on how wrong his behaviour to her was and how much it was not an expression of real love. | letter |
| ilveronthetree | Green Knowe Series - Lucy M. Boston | Toseland "Tolly" Oldknow | I love the atmosphere of these books and the way that the history is tied so vividly to the house and the people who live in it. Any sort of story Tolly would be wonderful but here are a few ideas that you could go with - What happens to Tolly after the books? Are there any other children that he meets from the past or from the future? What happened during the holidays that we didn't see? Is there a missing moment from the books that you'd like to explore? | letter |
| ilveronthetree | New Amsterdam | John Amsterdam, Eva Marquez | I watched this show earlier in the year and all the loose ends left by the cancellation made me desperate for fic. Does John ever find his one true love and regain mortality, or was that just constructed to give him hope? What happens next? I loved the chemistry between John and Eva, so if you'd like to explore that as a working partnership, friendship or even a relationship, I'd be happy. You could write a casefile, oa story set in the the next episode, a flashback into Eva or John's past or an alternate series finale as if there were several more seasons. | letter |
| ilveronthetree | The Proposal (2009) | Margaret Tate, Andrew Paxton | I have a massive soft spot for this movie and it is guaranteed to make me laugh. I'd love anything about these two. You could tell me about what happened next after the movie. I bet their sex life is hilarious and sexy and I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more about that. What was it like for Andrew working for Margaret and did ever he have any secret feelings or attraction before the events of the movie? Write an alternate universe where they have different jobs, or where Andrew is the one with visa problems. | letter |
| ilveronthetree | Batgirl (Comics) | Stephanie Brown (Batgirl), Nell Little (Batgirl), Nick Gage (Batgirl) | tephanie Brown's run as Batgirl is the comic of my heart and it would be delightful to spend more time with the characters. I love Steph's determination and optimism and the fact that she will never back down. Steph's relationship with her supporting cast is one of the strongest parts of the comic, e.g. Nick, Cass, Barbara, Damian, her mother, Nell and Kara, so a story featuring any of these would be great. I did have two ideas in mind when I came up with the request but feel free to totally ignore them. Steph's relationship with Detective Nick Gage. I wouldn't mind some Steph/Nick — how would it even work? Or maybe what happens when the detective in Nick starts wondering about the identity of the overly familiar girl in Barbara's office? What happens after the end of the series? Tell me about Nell and her adventures as she goes from being Batgirl's number one fan to being Batgirl herself and working with Steph as Nightwing. Does she work out Steph's secret identity by herself? Does she intend to be Batgirl or does she end up in a situation where she has to emulate her heroine? |
letter |
| ilveronthetree | Manhunter (Comics) | Kate Spencer (Manhunter) | Kate Spencer is awesome! There needs to be more fic about her. When I first read Manhunter, I'd never come across a superhero like Kate before. She was a flawed and fascinating mature woman with an established career as federal prosecutor, who chose to fight crime in the most extreme way. I knew I was going to like her the moment she couldn't find a lighter and was desperate enough to light her cigarette at the stove burner. Any story about Kate would be great. Maybe a team up with someone like the Birds of Prey or Blue Beetle, developing a better relationship with her son, Ramsay, working on a case, a missing moment from the comics, going on a date, or even her post-series adventures as the Gotham D.A. | letter |
| ilverr | Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas | Aries Shion | I love all four characters that I nominated this year (Shion, Dohko, Hakurei, and Yuzuriha), and I'd be over the moon to see fic about any of them. Shion/Dohko is one of my very very few OTPs. ~ More details and suggestions in my Dear Yulegoat letter. | letter |
| ilverr | Orphan Black (TV) | Felix Dawkins, Alison Hendrix | I love Felix: artist, confidant, sassy sidekick. I especially loved his interactions with Alison: her pearl-clutching report of how she'd cleaned his apartment was one of my favorite bits of the entire series. ~ More details and suggestions in my Dear Yulegoat letter. | letter |
| ilverr | Bob's Burgers (Cartoon) | Louise Belcher | Louise is my favorite character on Bob's Burgers, and I doubt I'll ever get enough of her mischievous scheming. I'd especially love to see genfic with her either pitting her wits against (or teaming up with, or even just hanging out with) a character such as Krieger from Archer, Bender from Futurama, or anyone from Bad Horse's Evil League of Evil. ~ More details and suggestions in my Dear Yulegoat letter. | letter |
| ilverr | Basara (Anime & Manga) | Ageha (Basara) | Ageha is my favorite manga character of all time. Although pretty much any Ageha fic set in the canon would make me burble happily, post-series fix-it fic would make me veryhappy, while post-series fix-it fic that also managed to give Ageha some sort of happiness with Shirasu would quite probably make me so ecstatic that I'd transcend the earthly plane altogether. ~ More details and suggestions in my Dear Yulegoat letter. | letter |
| ilverspotted | Murdoch Mysteries | Julia Ogden, George Crabtree, Emily Grace, Henry Higgins (Murdoch Mysteries) | I'd love a story that focuses on one of the show's supporting characters - particularly Dr. Ogden or Constable Crabtree. Something that delves more into their thoughts and emotions in the episodes we see, or follows up on things that get mentioned in the show, such as Dr. Ogden's efforts to promote reproductive health, or Crabtree's many Aunts. A character piece or case-fic are equally welcome. All canon pairings are great, as well as Crabtree/Higgins. But please nothing with James Gillies and his evil-mastermind plot. |
letter |
| ilverspotted | Marek vs. Wyshynski (Podcast) | J. J. Marek, Gregory Robert Wyshynski | I'd love a story about when Jeff finally gets Greg up to Stouffville for a summer BBQ, and they banter and Jeff makes Greg eat vegan BBQ things and their kids run around making a racket and their ladies drink beer in the background. Less specifically, anything where they banter and enjoy being coworker-friends would be great! Gen only please, I am not interested in them being in a romantic or sexual relationship, or in anything explicit about their wife or girlfriend. |
letter |
| ilverspotted | Little Mix (Band) | Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards | Anything goes here - I'm just really interested in the relationships between these girls and their individual personalities. X-Factor era or post-X-Factor, femslash (preferred, any pairing) or gen, even an AU would be great! | letter |
| ilverspotted | Pop Music RPF | Kesha Sebert (Pop Music RPF) | I find Kesha really intriguing, the contrast between her over-the-top video performances and her cynicism and awareness in interviews. Anything that explores her awesome complexity as a character would be great. Feel free to bring in other musicians or celebrities, or to go full AU (Kesha the space pirate? The cult leader?). Femslash, het or gen are all good. | letter |
| Sineala | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | William Laurence, Temeraire | I really love the Laurence & Temeraire dynamic in the series, and I would love to read anything at all about their relationship. Pairing/romantic fic is actually very very very welcome, but gen friendship is great too! I would be excited to see more about various dragon cultures or what other human cultures look like with dragons in them. (See letter for more.) | letter |
| Sineala | Frontier Wolf - Rosemary Sutcliff | Alexios Flavius Aquila, Hilarion (Frontier Wolf) | Anything with Alexios and Hilarion will make me happy; slash preferred, but gen is also very welcome. Perhaps a missing scene from canon? Perhaps post-book adventures in Belgica? Perhaps they could go meet Alexios' family, while on the way to Belgica? Perhaps some backstory of one or both of them? Perhaps an AU? Or they could just sit around and dice and drink while Hilarion drapes himself on all the flat surfaces and snarks at Alexios. I just want a story about the two of them, doing anything! Of course, you can bring in any other characters as necessary. (See letter for more.) | letter |
| Sineala | The Lost Prince - Frances Hodgson Burnett | Marco Loristan, The Rat (Lost Prince) | Marco and The Rat are an adorable pair, and clearly they are destined to do great things together in Samavia. Feel free to tell me about some of them! (Perhaps something slashy for their future -- they clearly love each other -- but gen is good too.) Or, perhaps, a missing scene from the novel! Sometime on their quest across Europe, maybe? (See letter for more.) | letter |
| Sineala | Star Trek: Rihannsu - Diane Duane | Ael i-Mhiessan t'Rllaillieu | Any story at all involving Ael would make my year. Perhaps something set pre-canon, with the Bloodwing crew? Perhaps her relationship with Tafv, and how she feels about the events of My Enemy My Ally? Or life for Ael post-canon, after The Empty Chair? Maybe interaction with other characters, like Arrhae? Or her camaraderie with the Bloodwing crew? Or even what her life was like between the first two books? I have always wondered about that span of time there. Feel free to bring in any other characters you want, or invent some. Or just tell me her thoughts on mnhei'sahe; I love the Rihannsu and their language and all their culture and would welcome any additional worldbuilding. (See letter for more.) | letter |
| Sineala | Ancient History RPF | Hannibal Barca (Roman & Phoenician History RPF), Scipio Africanus (Greek & Roman History RPF) | I would be very interested in reading some enemyslash about the Second Punic War. What really went on at their meeting, hmm? Gen would be excellent as well; they're the greatest generals of their age, come on, what do they really think of each other? Or you can just write anything about the war, really. How about that Battle of Zama? (See letter for more.) | letter |
| inesofinsanity | Max Overacts | Klaus Besser, Max Fogherty, Eleanore Brophy, Andromeda Fogherty | Anything! Tell a story about Max and Klaus's adventures in busking, or as the investigative team Pagett and Crossley, or something about Andi and her band, or how Andi got her job at the radio, or put Eleanore in charge of teaching Max how to play soccer. Really any fun story in this fandom would be great. | letter |
| inesofinsanity | What Would the Robin Do Then? - Jean Little | Rosa (What Would The Robin Do Then?), Natalie (What Would The Robin Do Then?), Marco (What Would The Robin Do Then?), Edward (What Would The Robin Do Then?) | What happens next? Do Edward and Rosa go to the same school? Does Edward ever see Natalie again? Does Rosa invite Edward back for dinner? Does Rosa meet Edward's dad or Edward meet Mr Lopez? Does the woman from the church group come back? Did Mario and Rosa fit in alright at school? What does Edward do when he grows up? You don't have to answer any particular question, just tell me something that happens after the story. | letter |
| inesofinsanity | The Mask of Zorro (1998) | Elena de la Vega (The Mask of Zorro) | Post-movie Elena and Alejandro (or just Elena) being bad-ass. Maybe saving Zorro from something, maybe helping Zorro with a mystery, maybe someone suspects Alejandro is Zorro so Elena dons the mask briefly, maybe he uses his Zorro persona to cause a distraction while she does espionage/rescuing/sabotage/badass-ness. | letter |
| inesofinsanity | Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989) | Amy Szalinski | Amy being quietly brilliant. Maybe she fixes one of her dad's experiments before it blows up the house, maybe she subtle-y rules theatre camp, maybe she's the one her brothers turn to when things go crazy for them, maybe she does double degrees in english lit and particle physics while serving as a VP on her student union, maybe she goes back to the backyard and rescues some ants from the sprinkler. Something to show her untapped potential being used. | letter |
| inesofinsanity | World War Z - Max Brooks | A side view of the narrator, what do some of the people talking to him or escorting him around think of his project/mission or what they've heard. What do they see/think when they travel with him/meet him? Alternately, Jessika Hendricks, the young woman in northern Manitoba, what happened in between travelling north and working to 'clean up' frozen zombies? Alternately, what happened to New Zealand? |

| ingingtomysoul | Disney Princesses | I snuck this one in here on a whim, because what I am dying to see is a Disney Princesses - or even just Disney - Magical Girl AU. Something where they're like Precure, Sailor Senshi, or even just superheroes - what would that look like? What are their team dynamics? What would their powers be and how would their respective villains look? I'd love some really rich, detailed worldbuilding around that idea. I'd be happy with any or all of the Disney ladies involved in this. I'm not especially invested in either femmeslash or canon ships, but I can't think of anything that would offend me, so go nuts if you have a particular inter-princess dynamic you'd like to see. | letter | |
| ingingtomysoul | Arrested Development | Tony Wonder, George Oscar 'Gob' Bluth | It's been a Blunder kind of summer. GOB and Tony's weird romance in s4 grabbed me and didn't let go, and I've been writing for them ever since, but I'd love all the takes on them from all the people ever. A bulletproof love of mine is writing your take on their Cinco de Cuatro night together - did they figure things out immediately? When did they make the decision to continue? What were their feelings afterwards, and why has Tony forgotten? Smuttiness would be lovely for that, but not required by any means. But there's a lot of unexplored territory if you're looking for something that doesn't have five or six fics in a similar vein already. I'd love all the domesticity, all the stories about these two people who are so Same and sometimes so very opposite learning to be in a relationship and be unselfish towards someone else, even if it's just one other person. I'm also interested in seeing how Tony fits into the Bluth family. He's a very good liar and something of a con man, so it seems like he'd fit right in, but does that clash with GOB being something of the black sheep? The other storyline that caught me this season was Buster's. I'd love all the fic about him just as a character, especially if it examines his role as a physically and emotionally disabled man, with most people either seeing him as something to be frightened of or something to use. I always loved him with Lucille 2 when they were first dating, with her serving as as a sort of physical and emotional bridge to growing up and away from his mother, yet L2 was always very aware of their dynamic and unwilling to be used. With the dark turn it took this season, did she believe she was genuinely helping him by lying to him? What are his feelings about her now, and about her disappearance? How does he respond to prison? |

| ingingtomysoul | Let's Go to Prison (2006) | Barry (Let's go to Prison), Nelson Biederman IV | peaking of prison. It's been a Will Arnett kind of summer too, I guess. It's criminal there isn't really fic for these two (no pun), a canon interracial queer pairing who seem to have settled into an awesome rhythm at the end of the film, Nelson settling Barry's anger and Barry serving as Nelson's new conscience. I'd love anything with them, but especially a fill-in-the-blank of those two weeks John was in solitary. He rejoins the rest of the prison, and Nelson and Barry seem to be happily together, but we've only watched them step away from the creepy noncon territory and agree to be friendly. What gets Nelson genuinely falling for Barry, and how does their relationship evolve them into the characters we see at the end of the film? |
letter |
| ingingtomysoul | Queen's Blade | Annelotte Kreutz, Luna Luna | I'd be shocked if I got a fill for this fandom, because most people seem to view it as softcore hentai if they think anything about it at all, but there are some incredible characters and relationships that I'd love to see built on in fic. Annelotte and Luna Luna from Queen's Blade Rebellion especially caught my interest, with how Luna Luna seems to be fascinated by Annelotte and becoming a better person through falling for her. I want a story exploring their relationship and officially getting them together. Sexytimes would be fantastic. I also really enjoy the relationship between Leina and Elina in the original Queen's Blade, be that sisterly or incest, and I'd love anything that explores their relationship and how their growing apart is emphasized/symbolized by Elina's unrequited romantic feelings. Bonus if Elina gets her woman, even if only for one night. |
letter |
| ingingtomysoul | ドキドキ！プリキュア | Dokidoki! PreCure | Aida Mana | Cure Heart, Regina (DokiDoki! Precure) | Regina and Mana's relationship stole my heart more than I ever expected. I want all the fluff and relationship-building with them - Regina's innocent sociopathy warming and changing under Mana's influence, Mana encouraging her growing friendship with the Cures, Mana and Regina's adorable sleepover before she's stolen away again. Fluffy first kisses and cuddling and hand-holding and love confessions. On a darker note, would love to see something plotty where Mana has to go through something epic and plotty to finally get Regina back, possibly where it's not even as simple as a rescue. What happens when the girl who wants to help everyone comes against someone who has been abused into thinking she doesn't want help at all? I'm also quite fond of Rikka, what a solid presence and down-to-earth support she is for Mana and how Mana doesn't even bat an eye at the "married" jokes. I could alternately ship or friendship-ship them, but I'd love a deeper exploration of their dynamic, how Rikka copes with Mana giving her love to so many people, and how Rikka will always be her steady partner and best friend in spite of it all. |

| inngrace | 飛虎 | Tiger Cubs (tv) | Chong Chuk-yuen, Chin Hon-to | I really love this cop show for the exciting action plot, loads of hurt/comfort potential and highly competent loyal characters. Anything would be great! I'm totally okay with gen and slash. If you want a prompt, though, it would be awesome if you could write how they become friends, the action/adventure/mission they go on, hurt/comfort or just them hanging out. If there's romance, which's not necessary, I really like seeing them shipped together. Please no mention of canon romances. I like ensemble fic too and please feel free to include other characters. These are just some suggestions, though; if none of those appeal to you, then just write anything about them and I'll be thrilled. | letter |
| inngrace | Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade | Lena Luthor (Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures), Kara Zor-El (Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures) | Anything would be great! I'm totally okay with gen and femslash. If you want a prompt, though, it would be awesome if you could write more adventure they go together, a girl's night out or a story that Lena's inventions saving the day (Because Science!'s awesome). If there's romance, which's not necessary, I really like to see them to be a couple in an aged-up fic. No sex please. Please don't ship them with other characters. These are just some suggestions, though; if none of those appeal to you, then just write anything about them and I'll be thrilled. | letter |
| inngrace | Adekan | Yoshiwara Shiro, Yamada Kojiro | I really love the canon for the grotesque, erotic and bizarre cases they solve with a lot of sexy, awful and anything goes action. I also love how slashy the characters are. If you want a prompt, though, it would be awesome if you could write a case fic, hurt/comfort, action/adventure, a story that tests and strengthens their bond or just them hanging out. If there's romance, which's not necessary, I really like seeing them shipped together. Please don't ship them with other characters. These are just some suggestions, though; if none of those appeal to you, then just write anything about them and I'll be thrilled. | letter |
| inngrace | Hunter: the Reckoning | I really love its brilliant take on the trope "monster hunters with a higher calling." The grey and grey morality, the clash of views and the different types of horror that can be explored - they're all awesome. Anything would be great! I'm totally okay with gen, het, femslash and slash. I don't mind death fics. If you want a prompt, though, it would be awesome if you could write how they struggle to continue to be hunters, what kind of price they need to pay, what kind of horror/adventure they encounter and have to overcome, or a story that they interact (maybe over the Internet). These are just some suggestions, though; if none of those appeal to you, then just write anything in the universe and I'll be thrilled. | letter | |
| inngrace | Sengoku Basara | Ishida Mitsunari (Sengoku Basara), Otani Yoshitsugu (Sengoku Basara) | I really like their relationship dynamic as they act as each other's morality pet and deeply care about each other. Anything would be great! I'm totally okay with gen and slash. If you want a prompt, though, it would be awesome if you could write how they becomes friends, how their bond's tested and strengthened, a character study of them during the game events, or a fix-it fic to the canon ending . If there's romance, which's not necessary, I would like them shipped together. Please don't ship them with other people. These are just some suggestions, though; if none of those appeal to you, then just write anything about them and I'll be thrilled. | letter |
| inngrace | Shin Sangokumusou | Dynasty Warriors | Cáo Pī, Zhào Yún (Shin Sangokumusou) | When I see the opening movie of Dynasty Warriors 5, I'm really fascinated with an exploration of the dynamic between Cao Pi and Zhao Yun because they're so different: Zhao Yun is generally depicted as a great hero while Cao Pi is a smart, competent but cold-hearted ruler, but they're shown as equal here. If you want a prompt, though, it would be awesome if you could write a story that after the fight, Cao Pi gets intrigued by Zhao Yun enough to try to recruit or destroy him, a story that explores what it means to admire your enemy, or a story that they're forced to work together and have to deal with the consequence. If there's romance, which's not necessary, I would like to see some foe yay between them. I can see there can be (perhaps one-sided) obsession and heavy angst, but I can understand if it's not your take of things. I don't mind unhappy ending. These are just some suggestions, though; if none of those appeal to you, then just write anything about them and I'll be thrilled. | letter |
| Sinope | Captain Marvel (Marvel) | I adore basically every detail of this series, so any direction would make me happy, but I'm particularly in love with the emphasis on Women Being Awesome (and yet well-rounded humans). So while I don't object to het romance or cameos from male Marvel heroes, I'd love for this fill to be primarily about the ladies. | letter | |
| Sinope | Love Actually (2003) | My favorite thing in the universe is Juliet/Mark/Peter triad fic, so anything that shows them getting together or living together would make me giddy. I also love the deleted scene (on the DVD) featuring the school principal and her sick-but-snarky lover. But if you're not inspired in those directions, I do enjoy all the different storylines, and one of the things I particularly appreciate is all the little ways that the characters and relationships intersect and interweave. So show me more unexpected connections, if you like! | letter | |
| Sinope | Easy A (2010) | I really don't have a prompt here (check my Yuletide letter, and hopefully I'll have more details by then); I just love this movie and would love more glimpses into its world. Maybe some slightly-older!Olive/Mr. Griffith? | letter | |
| Sinope | Hawkeye (Comics) | Aw, optional details. Things that involve Kate are awesome. Ditto for Pizza Dog. Relationships (in any direction) are welcome, but one of the things that I love about Hawkeye is how incredibly bad Clint is at relationships, so don't make things too unrealistically fluffy. :-) Other Marvel cameos totally welcome, but I'd like to keep to the Hawkeye theme of "what happens when Clint's not being an Avenger," if possible. Have fun! |
letter | |
| Sinope | Jolene (Song) - Dolly Parton | You would absolutely make my Yuletide if you wrote something that played with gender/sexuality themes in this song. There's a gorgeous slowed-down version that sounds like a tenor man is the narrator, which would do interesting things to the dynamic; alternately, if a woman is the narrator, is she perhaps recounting Jolene's beauty because she's been longing for it herself? Something that captures the wistful sadness of the original song would be lovely. | letter | |

| kazka | Truth or Die (2012) | Justin Hautbois, Felix Hautbois, Gemma (Truth Or Die) Luke (Truth Or Die) | This movie is one of my favorite horror films despite its tropey-ness; it draws from some pretty cool traditions in both typically-American cabin-in-the-woods slasher horror and European gothic. I'd maybe be interested in fic about screwed-up Hautbois family tension; something with Luke's ambivalent relationship to his friends-turned-hostages and or to Justin/Felix/his drug dealer friend; something where Gemma's escape attempt is more successful or introspective fic about what she's realizing has gone down here. The aftermath of that first party and what it did to all their relationships, or an alternate ending to the nightmarish weekend where Gemma lives, or where Justin "triumphs", where Felix did indeed die, etc. Gothic horror AUs! Family curses! Het/slash/femslash/gen and incest all fine, but please, no Justin/Gemma. | letter |
| kazka | Thomas of Woodstock (Play) | Richard II of England (Thomas of Woodstock), Anne of Bohemia Queen of England (Thomas of Woodstock), Greene (Thomas Of Woodstock), Tresilian (Thomas Of Woodstock) | I love the tenderness and humor in this play. Something exploring Anne of Bohemia's virtues, please, both as hers alone and as they counteract and counterweigh Richard's youthful folly. Or the whole weird gang of misbehaving bros in Richard's orbit -- what really makes Richard so susceptible to flattery? Does his position as a former child-king leave him especially vulnerable to it? Or something about how Richard handles grief, both for virtuous Anne and vicious Greene. Any pairings or gen. | letter |
| kazka | Paradise Lost - John Milton | Sin (Paradise Lost), Satan (Paradise Lost), Eve (Paradise Lost), Belial (Paradise Lost) | I'm really interested in Eve's ambiguous relationships to Adam/creation/God and to herself. Something about the nature of Eve's happiness, and how she is when she's considered by herself, maybe? I also really enjoy where the narrative follows along with those that have been cast out of Heaven, in particular the oration scenes and the fallen angels' attempts to amuse themselves in Hell with philosophy and screwing around; does Belial seek recognition or does he gain pleasure just from talking and talking and never doing much? The aftermath of Satan's first defeat, Satan/Belial talky hatesex, or an account of how Death was conceived and Sin's time among the angels prior to the rebellion. Any pairings or gen. | letter |
| kazka | The King Of Shreds And Patches (Interactive Fiction) | David Moore, Lucy Henry, Robert Fletcher, John Croft | I enjoy the game's depiction of poets/playwrights/printers/magicians and its take on friendships and conspiracies. Who is John Croft? What was he trying to do before his death and what was his downward spiral like? (Perhaps you can write abut his collaboration with Shakespeare, maybe, the work they seek to recreate together, or his past relationship with Marlowe.) Maybe write: something focusing on Lucy's suffering the influence of the King In Yellow manuscript; the story of how the play changed hands and the effect it had on the creative types it's crossed paths with; an account for Moore's losing his mind before things got as bad as we see when he's in Bedlam and what his relationships with his fellow playwrights might have been like; Robert and Lucy coming clean to one another about what they've respectively been up to. Any pairings or gen. | letter |
| kazka | Demon Knights | Al Jabr (Demon Knights), Exoristos (Demon Knights), Ystin (Demon Knights) | I love this comic's adventurous atmosphere but also the inner lives of its characters and how different they are from one another/how they cooperate and how they clash. An exploration of Al-Jabr as medieval science hero, especially in light of the awesome scientific and academic discoveries going on in the medieval Muslim world; Sir Ystin's adventures through history and something dealing with his knightly calling and chasing after Camelot after Camelot, kingdoms doomed to fall and him perhaps doomed to fail; Exoristos' status as exile and whether she'd ever be okay or at home in the non-Amazonian world. I'm also interested in every single member of the 'team' (inasmuch as they are a team!) separately, so include as many or as few characters as you like. Any pairings or gen. | letter |
| Skeiler | Once and Future King series - T. H. White | Please no slash and no Lancelot/Guinevere -- I love stories that are warm and fuzzy and focus on the good times in Camelot rather than all the tragedies. I REALIZE THIS MAY BE ASKING A LOT, but if you write me a sweet scene about some random Round Table knight achieving a quest I will be pleased as punch. | ||
| Skeiler | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke | John Childermass, The Raven King, Vinculus, Catherine of Winchester | Please no slash or anything explicitly sexytimes. I like short scenes that focus on witty dialogue and descriptions! Particularly I like fluffy pieces or intense character exploration, so don't feel it has to be sweet and happy -- I'm also happy with things that are grim, but my favourite thing about JS&MN is the overall tone Clarke captures of a bit of whimsy and a bit of pedantry and a bit of absurdity. My favourite characters are the Raven King/John Uskglass, John Childermass, and Vinculus -- but please don't feel like you have to write about any of them! I just want a short piece centered on JS&MN, so show me your wit and voice and I will be very happy! :D | |
| Skeiler | The Balumnia Trilogy - James P. Blaylock | Theophile Escargot, Artemis Wurzle | I would love a story about one of Theophile Escargot's extradorinary adventures in his submarine, or maybe a story about a young Artemis Wurzle. :D If you have no idea what this is but are intrigued, may I please recommend these delightful and in every way excellent books to you? Here is a brief overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elfin_Ship but in essence, they are a series of whimsical fantasy/sci-fi books that chronicle the adventures of Jonathan Bing, Master Cheeser, and his friends. They've got absolutely adorable characters and a beautifully snarky and effervescent tone and I cannot more strongly recommend any book on earth. They are all available in a variety of eBook formats and possibly from a local library. The books have been out of print for almost 30 years, but you can usually find a cheap copy on alibris.com | |
| Skeiler | 14th Century CE RPF | John of Gaunt (14th Century CE RPF), Oton de Graunson ( Century CE RPF), Geoffrey Chaucer (14th Century CE RPF) | I may be the only person on the entire internet who knows enough about Oton de Graunson (here is a brief wiki page about him, in French: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Othon_III_de_Grandson and a google search for Oton de Graunson will bring up a variety of articles and resources) to ship him with Geoffrey Chaucer, but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to receive a story about their life and romance in the entourage of their patron, John of Gaunt. The situation, in summary: Oton de Graunson was a Savoyard knight errant/poet who is mentioned in the Registers of John of Gaunt alongside the poet Chaucer as receiving a pension from Gaunt twice per year. Therefore: twu wuv. Please nothing explicit -- I'd prefer something fluffy. Alternatively, I'd love any sort of story about John of Gaunt. Any sort. Anything at all. | |
| Skew | Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams | Ford Prefect | I love backstory fic, and canon suggests Ford has plenty of it. Tell me the tales of his chequered past as a Guide researcher - the highs, the lows, the strange food he's consumed, the terrible places he's stayed and the deals he's made when the money's run out, not to mention how all of that compared to the reports he eventually ended up sending back. Or, alternatively, his experience of integrating into Earth culture (not that he ever did it especially well) and why, of all the people he could have met, that the only friend he appeared to make there was someone as quiet and utterly unremarkable as Arthur Dent. | letter |
| Skew | The Ten Stupidest Things I've Heard Since Richard III's Remains Were Identified (Blog Post) | I hadn't even heard of this blog post until I saw this turn up in the tag sets, but as soon as I saw it, I knew it had to go in. For reference, I'm pretty sure it's this: http://www.susanhigginbotham.com/blog/posts/the-ten-stupidest-things-ive-heard-since-richard-iiis-remains-were-identified/ Choose any of them! Choose all of them! There's all kinds of hilarious starting points for stories in there, from time-travelling Tudor spies, to Daily Mail journalists using necromancy to bother Richard's ancestors for a quote, to the concept of using cloning technology to create a kind of Jurassic Park full of historical monarchs. |
letter | |
| Skew | Judge Dredd (Comics) | One of my favourite things about the comics is Megacity One itself, in all its vast scale and overwhelming weirdness. What's the Christmas season like there? Do people go on homicidal killing sprees from hearing Jingle Bells played on a loop for three months solid? Does Black Friday lead to the residents of Eric Morecambe Block going to war with the residents of Ernie Wise Block over the last remaining supplies of this year's must-have toy? Are there black market mince pie smugglers, Dark Santas from parallel universes, festive deals on half-price assisted suicides for those for whom the pressure's all too much? Or if you're not into festive fic, I always enjoy stories exploring a sci-fi setting from a different perspective, something which the comics often do very well. What's it like being an ordinary citizen, or even an ordinary Judge? What's 'ordinary' in Mega-City One anyway? As per the above, I'm fine with original characters, though any canon characters you'd like to use as viewpoints/centre the story around are fine by me - Dredd, Anderson, Hershey; heck, even Walter the Wobot. |
letter | |
| Skew | The Flash (Comics) | Barry Allen (Flash) | I adore Barry, so I'd be easily pleased by anything with him in a starring role - any version of continuity, any genre, any style, whether it's fighting baddies with the JLA, a romantic evening with Iris (with or without interruptions from supervillains) or even a slice of life focussing on how the fastest man alive gets through a regular, boring, non-superheroic day. Any support characters you choose to throw in are up to you, though I adore Jay Garrick and most of the Rogues (esp. Captains Cold and Boomerang). Likewise, whether it's gen or shippy is up to you, and I do think Iris is pretty fantastic - but while it might possibly be pushing things a bit, I won't deny that Barry/Hal slash would make my day. |

| kieswideopen | The Collector (Canada TV) | Maya Kandinski, Morgan Pym | I'd love to see a story that explores Morgan and Maya's relationship after Maya finds out the truth about what Morgan does. Something that answers some of the questions left unanswered at the end of the show would be lovely, or something addressing the UST, or just a client of the week case where Maya knowing the truth enables her to help Morgan in some way. Gen/canon UST or full-out ship would both be awesome. | letter |
| kieswideopen | The Listener (TV) | Toby Logan | I'd love a story that explores the implications of Toby's telepathy. What it was like growing up as a telepath, or what effect it has on his relationships with McCluskey or Klein, or maybe a story about how Toby helps someone outside of his "consulting" job. Or if you want to go back and address some of the dropped plotlines from season one, that would be fantastic too. Or maybe look at what's ahead for Toby and Tia. | letter |
| kieswideopen | Murdoch Mysteries | William Murdoch, James Pendrick | Pendrick once told Murdoch that they ought to be friends because they have so much in common. I'd love a story where Murdoch and Pendrick are finally on the same side, and Murdoch doesn't end up suspecting Pendrick of some terrible crime. Maybe one of them decides it's time to promote closer ties. Maybe they're forced to work together in some difficult situation. Maybe Pendrick steps in and helps Murdoch in a difficult situation. Or just jump ahead and show what their friendship/relationship might look like after it's established. Gen and slash are both welcome. | letter |
| kieswideopen | Being Human (US/Canada) | Aidan Waite | I love all of the characters on Being Human, but Aidan is my most enduring favourite. I'll take a story from pretty well any point in his life: his pre-vampire days, playing vampire politics with Bishop, Aidan on the job, the early days of his friendship with Josh, or working together with Nora or Sally. I'd also love a story where Aidan and Kat get to be happy together for a while. Gen and canon pairings are both equally welcome. (Also, I'm not expecting this at all, but if you happen to watch Sleepy Hollow and feel inspired in this direction, I would totally go for a crossover between the two shows. Two soldiers from the American Revolution now living in the present? There's potential there!) |

| SlashMyDreams | 18th Century CE RPF | Stanisław August Poniatowski (18th Century CE RPF), Catherine The Great (18th Century CE RPF) | I would adore fic about the Polish partitions, or in general the diplomatic interactions between Catherine and Stanisław, who sadly loved her for longer than she did him. Alternately I would love something about the struggle to bring about political reforms within the Commonwealth, or interactions with the Czartoryskis. My personal preference is for the Polish versions of names rather than the English latinisations, for both of the Historical RPFs. |
letter |
| SlashMyDreams | Cinderella (1997) | Queen Constantina (Cinderella 1997), King Maximilian (Cinderella 1997) | I really liked the inclusion of the royal couple, and the dynamic shown between them, and especially the fact that it is Constantina who is the Queen, rather than merely the consort. I would love fic about them being awesome, whether before, during, or after canon. I would also be interested in a Stepmother/Constantina/Maximilian OT3, as she's the one in the crowd to react to the inclusion of Maisie in Constantina's names, and while I don't think that was intended as anything other than her just adding an extra name like to Christopher's, maybe they'd previously used in as a codename? It would also add to Lionel's dislike of her. Alternately you could make it Stepmother/Constantina, but I would prefer not Stepmother/Maximilian. Alternately, something about the trials and tribulations of Lionel would be interesting, or an exploration of the genetics in this verse. |

| SlashMyDreams | 16th Century CE RPF | Mary I of England (16th Century CE RPF), Zygmunt II August (16th Century CE RPF) | After Elisabeth of Austria's death, Mary was considered as a potential wife for Zygmunt II August, who was far more religiously tolerant than she (his father Zygmunt I, in reply to the Pope's complaints about the number of heretics in his kingdom, had announced himself king of the goats as well as the sheep), which I think could make for an interesting fic. Also Mary interacting with Bona Sforza (whose grandmother, incidentally, had been betrothed to Mary's great-grandfather Edward), whose political involvement may have reminded her of her mother. The countries' main connection was trade, but perhaps Henry might want an ally against Charles V? Zygmunt's sister Izabela was married to Jan Zápolya, who a few years earlier had fought against Ferdinand for control of Hungary. My personal preference is for the Polish versions of names rather than the English latinisations, for both of the Historical RPFs. |

| lavetohiscat | Rope (1948) | Christ I love this film. Look at all the homosexual subtext! Look at its German philosophy and American hubris! Underneath the aesthete's surface lies pure evil! Etc! I'd love to see Brandon and Phillip at school perhaps. How did their relationship form? How did Brandon persuade Phillip the murder was a good idea? What other crimes did they commit together? If none of those excite, anything involving a seemingly innocent dinner party would fill me with Yuletide cheer. | letter | |
| lavetohiscat | Secret History - Donna Tartt | Francis Abernathy | I'm really interested in Francis's home life and his strained relationships with the other Greek scholars. I'd enjoy unrequited as well as requited love for this fandom. Alternatively, something about Julien's past or a gen romp featuring the main characters would be most cool. I adore all the stuff about the Classics in the book, as well as the way Richard is basically one big pretension and everyone knows it. | letter |
| lavetohiscat | Wolfblood (TV) | Rhydian Morris | I'd be delighted with anything in this world as I love the complex wildness/civilisation theme of the show and the groovy celtic theme music. I'm particularly interested in Maddy's parents' past, and the relationship between Daniel Smith and Rhydian... and whether it could be anything more. ;-) I'd also especially love anything focusing on the 3 Ks, or the 3 Ks as prominent side characters. | letter |
| lavetohiscat | Yes Minister | Humphrey Appleby | Coffeeshop AU anyone? No, seriously, that would be hilarious. Anything at all along the lines of a classic YM episode would be fabulous, especially featuring Humphrey being gratuitously obfuscating. I also find the idea of Hacker/Humpy very entertaining, and think there is potential for an awesome Yes Prime Minister/Harry Potter X-over. | letter |
| leepfighter | Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant | Delilah Dirk, Erdemoglu Selim | I read the series and went, "gosh, I want more." So, this, more of it? Mostly I am interested in things like origin stories, or travelogues. Or if you don't feel like origin stories, a tale of court intrigues, or epic problem solving with both of them in it that contrasted their viewpoints together. | letter |
| leepfighter | Justified | Loretta McCready, Ava Crowder, Rachel Brooks | Basically, I don't want all of them together in one story, necessarily, unless it's an organic story, but I want a lot of really awesome Justified ladies, because the ladies of Justified are awesome, even if they have baggage, or criminal pasts. Tell me of their sorrows, highs and lows, or maybe just an everyday week of business, such as it is. I don't mind the male characters showing up, but I do really want a female-centric story and POV. Bonus points for including female characters not nominated. |
letter |
| leepfighter | Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor | Mobile Police Patlabor | Izumi Noa | I would love a Noa-centric story. Maybe one where she learns a little bit more temperance, perhaps, or bulls through with the strength of her optimism, but not as she planned. I like the rest of the unit a lot, but Noa's on here because I want it focused on her. A story where she's seen from each of their perspectives would also be one I invite. | letter |
| leepfighter | Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold | Ista dy Chalion, Illvin dy Arbanos | I love Ista a whole lot, and while I understand while the story of Ista and Illvin ended where it did, I would sure have read a whole other book on it. While I am not asking for a book, I would surely love a Ista & Illvin-centric story of the court of Ista and their unique brand of problem-solving. Alternately, I would basically like a really romantic evening, or comedy of errors romantic evening because, let's face it? Ship it. |
letter |
| leepfighter | MaMa Beat - LC9 (Music Video) | Rasa (LC9), J-Hyo (LC9,) E. Den (LC9), King (LC9) | o, why DO they have a crazy fight club with powers? Are they rival gangs, or dumb boys with anger and emotion riding them? Did they suddenly wake up with crazy powers and athleticism, or are we talking performance-enhancing-crazy-powers drugs? Tell me more of this backstory, tell me more about this world. |
letter |
| leepfighter | Xenoblade Chronicles | Melia Antiqua, Fiora (Xenoblade Chronicles) | I would love to see a fic that encapsulates their relationship development. -- either as something romantic, or as a friendship. Surely, the girl who was a goddess and the girl who will be a princess have a fair bit in common, if not just their quest. | letter |

| lipshod | Almost Human | Dorian (Almost Human), John Kennex | At the time of sign-ups I've only seen the first episode but I LOVE it. I love the personalities of the two lead characters and the slash potential, I love the buddy cop dynamic, and I love the set-up and the other characters we've been introduced to. I would most enjoy reading a Dorian/Kennex story, be it gen, awkward romance, or something off-the-wall. | letter |
| lipshod | Revolution (TV) | Charlie Matheson, Bass Monroe | Monroe and Charlie are great together this season! I don't know how long their storylines are going to overlap, but I love a good antagonistic allies dynamic regardless. | letter |
| lipshod | Under The Dome (TV) | Joe McAlister, Angie McAlister, Dale "Barbie" Barbara | My kingdom for a Barbie/Joe/Angie threesome fic! However, if you are horrified right now, I would also enjoy reading about these three in a platonic setting! Maybe Barbie could become the McAlisters' guardian or they could all just be bros. | letter |
| lipshod | X Factor (US) RPF | Simon Cowell (X-Factor US), Demi Lovato (X-Factor US) | THE CHEMISTRY IS OFF THE CHARTS! Ideally I want either straight-up porn or really really palpable UST. If you don't ship them or that squicks you, maybe tap into their mentor/mentee relationship, how has he shaped her music career since they met? Does he advise her professionally and/or personally? Any behind the scenes peek into their relationship and the dynamics between them that interest you. | letter |

| lr2moons | Basara (Anime & Manga) | Asagi (Basara), Sarasa (Basara), Ageha (Basara) | Machiavellian Asagi is the best! I ship him with Sarasa, Ageha, or both together. :3 Ageha has much AU potential. Please see my letter for more. | letter |
| lr2moons | Claymore | Isley (Claymore) | Isley is my favorite, and he has much unexplored depths of which canon has only given us hints. Backstory would be delightful, or a wonderful AU if he hadn't died. T.T Raki and Priscilla are welcome to be in your fic, too! Do please see my letter for more details. | letter |
| lr2moons | Finding Nemo (2003) | Marlin (Finding Nemo), Nemo (Finding Nemo), Gill (Finding Nemo) | I'd enjoy a missing scene from Marlin's journey, or a Gill prequel about how he was captured and/or injured his fin, or even Gill and Marlin meeting. Perhaps Nemo goes on journey of his own, maybe to find Gill again? Details in my letter, of course! | letter |
| lr2moons | Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) | Griet (Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)), Johannes Vermeer (Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)) | However you chose to serve it up, it's Griet/Johannes interaction I'm hoping for. :3 Mixing colors, Griet learning to paint, her staying with the family even as a maid, romance, gen, anything in between, and lots of lots of UST! XD See letter for more, of course. | letter |
| lr2moons | Sarai-ya Goyou | House of Five Leaves | Yaichi, Akitsu Masanosukem Yagi Heizaemon | omething to do with Masa's fascination with Yaichi, or you could embarrass Masa in a compromising situation with someone, or Yagi enjoying verbal tennis with Yaichi and teasing Masa, or even a modern AU of some sort! See my letter for still more suggestions and info. | letter |
| lr2moons | Undead is Very Hot Right Now series - Sarah Rees Brennan | Josh (Undead is Very Hot Right Now series), Faye Fanshawe Christian (Undead is Very Hot Right Now series), Bradley (Undead is Very Hot Right Now series) | Why is Josh so afraid of Christian? How does Christian deal with those ridiculous vampire tropes? I adore the oh-so-rare moments when Christian feels like he's part of the band...his "nest"! ^///^ I'd love to see more of Faye's snarky management of the band. Is Bradley as air-headed as he seems? And what about that threesome from the end of the first story?! Or even quality time with Josh! Lots more in the letter! :D | letter |
| SlytherinGurrl | Artemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer | Artemis Fowl II, Holly Short | A cute holiday story, maybe? I'd love it if you could stay away from an Artemis/Holly relationship and a Artemis/Minerva relationship. | letter |
| SlytherinGurrl | Tron (Movies) | ome Sam/Quorra after they arrive at Earth would be fantastic! Fluff + Angst=LOVE PLEASE NO ORIGINAL TRON STORIES!! |
letter | |
| SlytherinGurrl | The Proposal (2009) | Uhm, a cute epilogue to this movie would be great. Other than that, you can really do whatever you want. But Andrew/Margaret is greatly appreciated. | letter | |
| SlytherinGurrl | Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene | Ned/Nancy please and a modern AU would be LOVED!!! | letter | |
| mallearthcat (vamplover82) | The Lost Room (TV) | Joe Miller, Wally Jabrowski | Alright, first up is Lost Room. I totally adore like, everything about...all of it. It's just got such a fascinating universe, with so many unexplained things I'd love to know more about. So, anything about the powers of any of the unknown objects or something about what different combinations of objects can do would be awesome. Or something about the event that created the objects, maybe, or what would happen if all the objects were brought back together in the room. I know I'm asking for specific characters, and that's mostly because I enjoyed Joe and Wally's dynamic throughout the series and would love to see them dealing with more object-related incidents. Maybe something about how Wally reacts to finding out Joe is the new Occupant or how either of them fit into the fabric of the different groups surrounding the objects. I guess I'm saying you could pick pretty much anything and run with it, and I would be thrilled to read it. |
letter |
| mallearthcat (vamplover82) | Eureka | Douglas Fargo, Zane Donovan | o, Eureka. Fargo and Zane. It's pretty much a travesty that they really started getting along/working together well just as the show was ending, but you take what you can get. One of the things I loved best was Zane working so hard to help Fargo get Holly back, even going so far as to keep it a secret from everyone else. Or when when they got shot into space in a capsule and had to work together to get themselves back home. I guess I just really love that they really started to respect each other as people and for their scientific talents. I'd love to see something that reflects that, where they have to work together to save the day or something. Or, I mean, I like Holly, but I really think it'd be interesting to see something where they can't get her out and Fargo turns to Zane, who really steps up and is there for him. Eh, once again, maybe a bit on the specific side, but it's just an idea. I'd be pretty happy with anything, here. |
letter |
| mallearthcat (vamplover82) | Call Me Maybe (Music Video) | Tavish Crowe, Holden Nowell | o, catchy pop song with a video that ended differently than I expected the first time I saw it. I think that's probably what grabbed me about it, the awesome surprise of Holden having been interested in Tavish the whole time he was being chased. I mean, I think probably what I'd most like to see here is people's reactions. How does Tavish feel about it and what does he do? What about Carly? I guess it would just be interesting to see the fallout of something that seemed to be a total surprise to everyone but Holden. | letter |
| mallearthcat (vamplover82) | Gunless (2010) | Sean Lafferty, Ben Cutler | Oh man, this movie. It's just so...funny, but in a really understated way, which made me appreciate it all the more. And I think probably the most interesting part for me was the exchange between Ben and Sean near the end where they talk about the fact that they've been chasing one another for the last ten years. So I guess what I'm thinking is maybe something during those times, when one of them caught up with the other. Or maybe why Sean would have been chasing Ben at all since he was the criminal. Or even something post-movie, maybe how they'd meet again. I also wouldn't mind something that gets inside either or both of their heads while the events of the movie are taking place, because as much as some of it is pretty obvious, I feel like there are more nuanced things going on with the whole situation and why/how they ended up there that could be really interesting to look at. |
letter |
| mallearthcat (vamplover82) | Haven | Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos | And last, but certainly not least, Haven. I've been loving this season so much thus far, and would love to see something involving, well, most any of the events. I loved Nathan and Duke's reunion, how happy Nathan was to find out that Duke wasn't dead, and how they've banded together to try to get Audrey back. Oh, actually, you know, I'd love to see something involving the Christmas episode from a couple years back; they just got along so well in that, and it was so...I don't know that upbeat is really the word, but it was pretty feel-good, overall. Also, if something comes up in current episodes that sparks an idea, feel free to go with it; I keep up to speed with canon, so you won't be spoiling me for anything. | letter |
| maller | Baldur's Gate | Imoen (Baldur's Gate), Jan Jansen, Minsc (Baldur's Gate) | I love the eccentricity and humor of the Forgotten Realms gnomes so much. And Jan, with his ridiculous stories and odd penchant for turnips, was always one of my favorite characters. Then, of course, there is ever so much of Minsc to love. And Imoen, loyal and friendly, and so lighthearted until Irenicus happened. I just really love everything about the Baldur's Gate series, but most especially the depth of the NPCs. Character interaction is what I'm hoping for out of a fic. Everybody interacting, with or without Charname, is what gave life and immersion to the games, so that's what I'd love to see in a fic. Banter or storytelling, anything really. notes from letter: In general, I like all kinds of stories. I'm partial to angst in the stuff I read and bookmark, but I also love humor, and straight-up fluff or domesticity is always a delight. I'll take shipping or no shipping, I'm not picky. It's character-driven stories that have the most emotional impact for me and that give me a lasting interest in whichever film or fic. I just love seeing people tell good stories about the characters I love. I'm not interested in: harm to animals. It is a massive trigger for me, and I beg you not to include any. There isn't much other than that that I want to mention specifically. I find it difficult to immerse myself in first-person and second-person POV narration, fwiw, but if that's how you like to write, go for it. :) |

| maller | The Incredible Hulk (TV) | David Bruce Banner (The Incredible Hulk TV) | I started watching this on Hulu earlier this year. I was expecting something corny and overall awful, and boy was I surprised! You can see in recent posts on my LJ that I've been blogging about each episode as I watch it, and that I'm not very far yet, but I'm enjoying every minute I get a chance to watch more, and I was thrilled and amazed that the show is actually pretty great! I got invested in Dr. Banner after watching The Avengers last summer, and I find the 70s TV show's version of him to be really wonderful. He's dealing with a really crummy hand, but he's still kind and sympathetic to the plights of others, and it doesn't hurt that Bill Bixby is adorable. You can include any other characters you like, original characters, anything, but I admit I'm kind of hoping for some light to moderate angst here. Poor David. notes from letter: In general, I like all kinds of stories. I'm partial to angst in the stuff I read and bookmark, but I also love humor, and straight-up fluff or domesticity is always a delight. I'll take shipping or no shipping, I'm not picky.

| maller | Fraggle Rock | When we live in a world that's so often just plain awful, Fraggle Rock is something that can always make me smile. Anything with those happy little guys is bound to be a pleasure to read. My favorite aspects of Fraggle Rock were always the episodes where we saw how interconnected everything was. How every group - Fraggle Rock, the Gorgs, Doc, the Doozers - all depend on each other in some way. But I'll also love plain silliness or games or anything else you want to write. notes from letter: In general, I like all kinds of stories. I'm partial to angst in the stuff I read and bookmark, but I also love humor, and straight-up fluff or domesticity is always a delight. I'll take shipping or no shipping, I'm not picky.

| maller | Feminist Hulk (Twitter) | Funny and always incisive, and erudite even in all caps an small words. I'm looking forward to anything that strikes your fancy! notes from letter: In general, I like all kinds of stories.

| martlike | Scandal (TV) | Mellie Grant, Jake Ballard, Harrison Wright, Huck (Scandal) | I love all the characters I chose, but also Cyrus and Olivia from the nominated list are great too. Please no/minimal Olitz or angsty longing between Olivia and Fitz - I just find their relationship a little tedious, but any other pairing, het or slash, is a-okay and gen would be fine with me as well. If it is a pairing, I'm not really interested in BDSM or kink. In general, I'm pro-comedy, pro-plot, and pro-anything with spycraft or people's deep dark secrets (obviously I guess since, Scandal). | letter |
| martlike | Hart of Dixie | Wade Kinsella, Zoe Hart, Lavon Hayes, Annabeth Nass | Het or slash are both okay with me, as well as gen or friendship stories. If it is a pairing, I'm not really interested in BDSM or kink. In general, I'm pro-comedy, pro-plot, pro-quirk, and I love a good Bluebell town celebration. This doesn't strike me as an angst-friendly fandom, but I could be surprised if that's your thing. | letter |
| martlike | Greek Mythology | Persephone (Greek Mythology), Odysseus (Greek Mythology), Cassandra (Greek Mythology) - Character, Hector (Greek Mythology) | Other nominated characters I would be fine reading about: Hera, Zeus, Andromache. Pairings (het or slash) or gen are both fine. If it is a pairing, I'm not really interested in BDSM or kink. In general, I'm pro-comedy, pro-plot. I'm really obsessed with women in Greek mythology, so that's something I always love to see explored. Modern takes on the characters are welcome, too. | letter |
| martlike | Happy Endings (TV) | Penny Hartz, Brad Williams, Jane Kerkovich-Williams, Alex Kerkovich | I'd be pretty sad to see Brad/Jane broken up, but otherwise any pairing or no pairing is fine. | letter |
| martlike | Secret Circle - L. J. Smith | Cassie Blake, Nick Armstrong, Faye Chamberlain, Adam Conant | Look, 14 year old me came to terms with Cassie/Adam and I'm sure that would still be fun to read, but Cassie/Nick is my forever OTP, screw whatever destiny has to say. Um. But, you know, other pairings or no pairings are also fine. | letter |
| martlike | Deadwood | Al Swearengen, Trixie (Deadwood), Doc Cochran, Jane Cannary | Really any nominated character would be fine. All pairings (het or slash) or gen are fine and also all varieties of friendship stories, especially those between Al and the other characters. | letter |
| Smercy | The Americans (TV 2013) | Nina (The Americans), Claudia (The Americans), Elizabeth Jennings | LADY SPIES! This show is all about hard decisions and it doesn't shy away about what that means for women and I love it and all of these women are METAL AS FUCK. I love them. I will have more details in my dear santa letter at my olde fashioned lj. (I am seriously almost about to run out of time with this signup, I'm sorry!) |
letter |
| Smercy | The Immortals - Tamora Pierce | Veralidaine Sarrasri (Immortals), Numair Salmalín (Immortals) | Nostalgia! I just reread this series on a long plane flight and oh man when I was a baby I shipped Daine/Numair SO HARD and those books hold up SO WELL. And so anything that has the two of them being together and happy would be enough to have me super jazzed. more at the letter. |
letter |
| Smercy | Orphan Black (TV) | CLONES! I am really interested in the idea of their bodies being property and anything they make with their bodies is derivative property and that is so creepy and awful. I also like the adventures of clone club. Or Felix could host a clone club sleepover with cookies and excessive amounts of alcohol. There's so much here that would make me happy, I loved the series so much that I just want more of it. there will be a letter where I will have more stuff. |
letter | |
| Smercy | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary) | I know that Ms. Hudson isn't on here, or Clyde, but I love them too! I have kind of been really desperately wanting a story where Ms Hudson, Clyde, and Joan Watson team up to foil crime (Moriarty.) Or something serious. Or everybody gets snuggles. I will have more to say at the dear santa letter. |
letter |
| milebackwards | Haven | Audrey Parker, Nathan Wuornos, Duke Crocker | The team being awesome and saving Haven from the Trouble of the week! Or really just anything with the three of them being a good team and/or good friends. I'm keeping up with Season 4 so no worries about spoilers if you want to write about anything from recent episodes. | letter |
| milebackwards | Mulan (1998) | Fa Mulan (Mulan), Li Shang | Mulan and Shang post movie. Maybe Grandma trying to encourage romance in ways that make Mulan facepalm. | letter |
| milebackwards | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Slade Wilson (Arrow TV) | More of Slade teaching Oliver to fight and survive on the island. Or Slade showing up in Starling City and helping Team Arrow. | letter |
| milebackwards | Miss Marple - Agatha Christie | Jane Marple | Miss Marple solving crime! Schooling the police on a high profile murder case or just helping her neighbors with little things like who's been stealing their newspaper off the stoop or why their daffodils won't bloom. | letter |
| mileodon | Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare | Puck (Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare) | Magic, fairyland, mysterious goings-on -- I'm leaving this wide open. I like Puck. I like magic. Otherwise go crazy! AU is welcome, slash or gen either is great. Myths? Paranormal stuff in England? Puck being responsible for cryptids? If you like shipping, maybe Puck being taken care of by Oberon? (Kingly healing hands, magic, hurt/comfort) Or maybe crossover with the Tempest - Puck and Ariel? I bet they'd get up to amazing things. Heck, Oberon/Puck/Ariel, if you want. |
letter |
| mileodon | Norse Religion & Lore | Loki (Norse Mythology) | Loki is my favorite Trickster god. Would love to see friendship with Odin, Loki being awesome, Loki as a god, helping people. Shapeshifting. Crossovers with other gods welcome (eg Coyote, Raven, others too- Celtic, Egyptian, Aztec, Mayan, Japanese or Chinese? Maybe some of the JudeoChristian angels? Gabriel or Raphael? No Anansi, please.) Would prefer no shipping of Loki with anyone, just awesome friendships. On the other hand, if you want to write him just telling funny stories and stunts like tying his balls to a goat, that's cool too! XD | letter |
| mileodon | Black Jack (Anime & Manga) | Black Jack, Pinoko (Black Jack) | I love the little created-family these two made with each other (with Pinoko as Black Jack's child, not his pseudo-wife, even though she attempts that in canon). Family fic? Hurt/comfort? Ridiculous things that can always be fixed by surgery? Would love to see hugs and caring, maybe adventure if you want? | letter |
| mileodon | Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic | Sinbad (Magi), Masrur (Magi), Sharrkan (Magi) | inbad and his generals are all amazing. Sinbad/Masrur, Sinbad/Masrur/Sharrkan, Masrur/Sharrkan/Yamuraiha (/Sinbad) are all totally fine, but so is gen. Would love stories where they bond, where they're close to each other (non-sexual intimacy more than fucking). Maybe hurt/comfort or adventure or fighting? What does it feel like, being a household vessel? Can they feel Sinbad's power? Can be set whenever, Sindria is awesome, just please no shotacon. | letter |
| Snacky | Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein | Maddie Brodatt, Julie Beaufort-Stuart | I would love more of Maddie and Julie, any way you want to write them. Best friends, in love, fix-it fic where THAT ENDING did not happen, whatever you choose. | letter |
| Snacky | Rose Under Fire - Elizabeth Wein | Jamie Beaufort-Stuart (Rose Under Fire), Rose Justice, Róża Czajkowska, Maddie Brodatt (Rose Under Fire) | Tell me about Rose and Roza after the end of the story - where do they go? How do they move on, from what happened, and still stay a part of each other? Alternately, tell me about Jamie and Maddie, how they fell in love. Or you could have all four of them in a post-book story - maybe celebrating a holiday? | letter |
| Snacky | The Stand - Stephen King | Fran Goldsmith, Stu Redman, Tom Cullen, Lucy Swann | I just want more of these characters, after the end of the book. Tell me about Fran and Stu making their way to Maine and the people they meet there, or along the way. Or did they ever return to Boulder and meet up with Tom or Lucy again? Or what happened to Lucy after Fran and Stu left. Or maybe Tom's life in Boulder - does he still dream of Nick? | letter |
| Snacky | Saturday Night Live | Stefon (Saturday Night Live), Seth Meyers (Saturday Night Live) | Oh, I am going to miss Stefon on SNL so much. I would just love a funny story about these two, maybe how they first got together? Or what Stefon and Seth do on a night in. | letter |
| Snacky | The Montmaray Journals - Michelle Cooper | Sophie FitzOsborne, Veronica FitzOsborne, Toby FitzOsborne, Simon Chester | Oh my gosh, I would love anything here. I love all the characters, even ones not nominated, so feel free to include Henry or Aunt Charlotte or Barnes. More adventures of Sophie and Veronica during the War! Sophie spying! Futurefic with them all (and their children) on Montmaray! Anything! | letter |
| Snacky | Lumatere Chronicles - Melina Marchetta | Isaboe (Lumatere Chronicles), Finnikin of the Rock, Lirah (Lumatere Chronicles), Gargarin (Lumatere Chronicles) | I would like to see more of this world - perhaps Lumatere when Finnikin and Isaboe were young. Or a story about Isaboe, how she survived and became Evanjalin, and how she knew she needed Finnikin to reclaim Lumatere. Alternately, I would love a story about Lirah growing up, or her life in Charyn while imprisoned, or her relationship with Gargarin. | letter |
| narkydame | Red vs. Blue | Leonard L. Church | Artificial Intelligence Program Alph, Michael J. Caboose, Dexter Grif, Sarge (Red vs. Blue) | Most of what I love about these guys are the everyday, mundanely ridiculous interactions, with all the stuck-together irritation and rivalry (and underlying loyalty). So an early-season snark fest would be really enjoyable -- but I'd also like a more dramatic later-season epic! So, you know, write what you like. I like all of the characters, really, but I like the dynamics between these four best. | letter |
| narkydame | Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword | Pipit (Skyward Sword), Link (Skyward Sword), Karane (Skyward Sword), Groose (Skyward Sword) | I would love a story set pre-game, while these characters are still at the Knight Academy -- I'd rather not read pure fluff and randomness, but I'd enjoy something about friendship and rivalries -- growing up on island in the sky, with all the restrictions and freedoms that entails. | letter |
| narkydame | Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells | Moon (Books of the Raksura), Chime (Books of the Raksura), River (Books of the Raksura), Drift (Books of the Raksura) | River's combative relationship to Moon sort of fascinates me -- I feel like it might eventually evolve into something with more respect (though probably not friendship) but that it'll take quite some time and possibly some capitol D Drama to get through both of their prickly, defensive shells. I'd rather like to see the start of that journey. | letter |
| narkydame | Fortress Series - C. J. Cherryh | Crissand of Meiden | I'd really like a story from Crissand's point of view -- an outside perspective of Tristan, his relationship to Cefwyn, his dealings in Amefel in particular. How does he come across to someone who didn't know him when he was new and untried? Not necessarily just a scene from the books rewritten with new POV, though that would also be fun to read so do what you like! | letter |
| Snickerer | Magic Kaitou | Kuroba Kaito | Kaitou Kid | Gen preferred. Something fun, please, something where the Kaitou Kid (and/or Kaito Kuroba looking out through his monocle) manages to make things work out in the end for everyone we're rooting for. Drama is fine, humor welcomed, interpersonal interaction with whatever other characters get tossed in thoroughly encouraged. Bonus points if you manage to work in some manner of misdirection, mind games (nonmalevolent and for a good cause!), questions of identity, and/or conversations operating on more than one level, in the finest traditions of Kid. Could involve a heist (or not), could involve Kid turning up where he is not supposed to be, could involve Kid up against someone else who may (or may not) have supernatural abilities. Dire Consequences may be threatened, as long as someone is sneaky enough to make sure they do not come to pass; Severe Irritation, on the other hand, may be inflicted on any and all parties. | |
| Snickerer | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | The Summoning Dark | Gen, please. The Summoning Dark is a fascinating character-and-plot-device, and I'd like to see something exploring that a bit, whether Thud! or Snuff version (or something of both), especially its nature/relationship with vengeance/justice and how it's neither purely malevolent nor precisely trustable. Could be from its POV, Vimes' POV, or that of another character entirely; could be character introspection or a story where it participates somehow in the action. Asking for a happy ending to a story with this character may be a slight oxymoron, but would still prefer an ultimate outcome that is not composed entirely of crushing despair, darkness, and broken psyches. (The Summoning Dark is not required to approve of the lack of such.) | |
| Snickerer | Girl Genius | Castle Heterodyne, Agatha Heterodyne | o, apparently I am a complete and total sucker for Castle Heterodyne, arguably one of the most adorable gleefully deranged homicidal sentient self-remodeling structures in fiction. (If you WANT to bring in spacetime portals and drag GLaDOS into the matter, feel free to have at it.) Would like something fun with character interaction in that doesn't end up irreversibly and exclusively in tears; explosions along the way are not only par for the course but encouraged, along with any other Sparks, Heterodyne inventions, assorted minions, and other characters you care to toss in (Jaegers very much encouraged, Gil and/or Tarvek being the Champion Snark Tag Team would be most excellent indeed, and the look on Klaus' face would likely be entertaining.) Agatha, Gil, and Tarvek being at least nominally pointed in the same direction of alliance preferred, however they claim to sort out the details. Preferably primarily gen, set after Agatha's at least gotten to the Castle, better yet if she's already gone and gotten it working, far future also fine. |
|
| Snickerer | Namesake (Webcomic) | Fred (Namesake), Warrick Chopper | Does not require interaction between the two, as this would be logistically difficult; will be fine whether you pick either and write about them interacting with any other characters of your choice, or put them in separate scenes, or if you do decide to write an eventual meeting between them for the heck of it, or however you prefer. Would like something with character dynamics, interactions, and/or motivations, gen is absolutely fine, can be plot/incident-centered or more introspective as preferred. Interested with Fred in the transition from being just another card soldier to something more, how he feels about the matter and about getting to work with a Writer, and the logistics of being a card soldier in the first place and what that means to him, what he's gaining and/or losing. With Warrick...how he feels about pretty much anything, at this point, given the complexities of the situation and the variability of his own reactions/emotional control. Agha, Selva, and/or other relevant parties are welcome to poke him with a stick, metaphorically or otherwise, to help clarify. |
|
| Snickerer | Tron (Movies) | Tron (Tron) | Would prefer gen. Interested in Tron's side of things, whether during-movie or the immediate aftermath (Flynn took off out of the arcade once he was out of the system; what was it like for the programs still in there, in all the system time that passed before any eventual return? Or what was it like when he eventually did re-establish contact? What would Tron's opinion of the internet be?) Can be descriptive, action, character introspection, or just a look at Tron being Tron. What-ifs, crossovers, etc are fair game if you like, as is anything from humor to drama to angst. | |
| Snickfic | Journey into Mystery | Sif (Journey into Mystery) | IF. Sif in pretty much any capacity you like. On Earth, somewhere else in the nine realms, slaying dragons or eating pizza or hanging out with Jane Foster or Beta Ray Bill. More details in my letter. |
letter |
| Snickfic | FF (Comic) | Jennifer Walters (FF), Darla Deering, Scott Lang (FF), Tong (FF) | omething fun and warmly human, in the spirit of the comic, involving one or more of these characters. More details in my letter. |
letter |
| Snickfic | Saga (Comics) | lice of life, interpreted however you like, involving any of the nominated characters. Life aboard the wooden rocket ship on the way to Heist's planet, or Gwendolyn and The Will attempting to play some variation of poker (although Lying Cat makes bluffing difficult), or The Will and The Stalk on a pre-canon mission, or anything! More details in my letter. |
letter | |
| Snickfic | X-Force (Comics) | Fantomex (X-Force), Spiral (X-Force), Lady Fantomex (X-Force), Elizabeth Braddock (X-Force) | Betsy+Spiral or Betsy+Storm or Betsy/any Fantomex (or Betsy/all the Fantomexes) or exploration of Fantomex's personal identity (before or after the split into three people). Or Betsy+Ororo or +Bishop or +Deadpool! I am EASILY PLEASED. More details at my letter. |
letter |
| Snow | Guilty Gear | Ky Kiske | I love Ky, I love his earnest seriousness and his complete refusal to give up on things. Write me a story that has Ky in it (it doesn't even have to be about him, although I'd love something about how some other character thinks of Ky) and I'll be pleased. I really love all the guilty gear characters. | letter |
| Snow | Tam Lin (Traditional Ballad) | Tam Lin (Tam Lin Traditional Ballad), Janet (Tam Lin Traditional Ballad) | I would adore something that focuses on Tam Lin's transition back to a mortal life with Janet, or the getting to know him process from her perspective. | letter |
| Snow | Bel Dame Apocrypha - Kameron Hurley | I'm happy with anything set in this fandom, from Nyx being Nyx and violent and destructive to anything studying the adaptation of religion for the characters to whom it's important to Ahmed and Rhys getting in an argument. Or you can give me general worldbuilding, and I'll be happy. |
letter | |
| Snow | Dumbing of Age | Joyce Brown | I love Joyce's learning moments in the comic along with how adorable she is. I'm really open to anything here, from femmeslash to her getting in an argument where she's firmly in the wrong to her understanding a little more. One idea might be a focus on something coming up in class that she doesn't agree with. |
letter |
| Snow | Hadestown (Musical) | I love the atmospheric mood of this the most, and if you can capture that with any of the characters, I'd love it a lot. I love the fact that it's a retelling with different aspects that are focused on, in true myth form. Persephone and Hades are my favorites, but I love them all. |

| ocktopuss | Young Avengers | David Alleyne (Young Avengers), Tommy Shepherd (Young Avengers) | I'd love something about the effects of time dilation on Tommy's relationships - specifically with regards to his fast friendship with David, and the way it impacts their friendship and interaction now and in the future. David is a really fascinating guy, and has a lot of knowledge, but I think of him as very slow in the sense of being deliberate and unhurried in his decision-making. It isn't that David can't react to things quickly so much as that his ideal pace is slower than average, while Tommy is all high speed. Contrasting those two approaches and experiences of reality sounds like it has a lot of potential to me, so I'd love to read any sort of story - gen adventure, or come-out-of-your-shell-David friendship experiences, or shippy development fic. | |
| ocktopuss | Graceland (TV) | Jeremiah Bello, Paul Briggs, Mike Warren | I'd love an exploration of the Odin+Bello relationship, and the way Bello and Briggs are using one another against Mike (or as they use one another to move towards Mike, to get a better grip on him). I'd love something about Bello's feelings of power over Mike (this knowledge of Briggs, and also the joy of knowing that Mike doesn't know) or power as related to Briggs and his secret. Something involving Bello continuing to work with Briggs or Odin from prison, or Paul's concern regarding Bello's level of knowledge (belief or disbelief that it could come back to bite him), or Mike struggling to discover these things while wrestling with his guilt over his feelings about both of them. I love this trio and their dynamic, so I'll love anything you come up with. Feel free to make this as dark or hopeful as you like. I'll happily read ship fic involving all three of them, too, if that's something you're interested in writing. |
|
| ocktopuss | Young Justice (1998-2003) | Anita Fite (Young Justice Comics), Li'L Lobo (Young Justice Comics) | I really love these two as a team and their dynamic - Anita's confidence and drive for excellence, coupled with Lobo's over-the-top bad boy attitude really made them fun to watch as their friendship developed. I love their attempted dates. I'd really enjoy a sort of teen adventure story, with or without romance, where the two of them attempt to get some bonding time (maybe they are going to a museum to investigate a particularly shiny space rock with many uses, or going to see a lecturer on Vodou in the hopes of acquiring advice regarding Anita's magical work, or they're going to an expo for tattoos and death metal, whatever) and end up getting into trouble -- or trouble finds them. I love heist stories and chase scenes, but I also love quiet conversations and moments of mutual discovery (or self-discovery). | |
| ocktopuss | Hemlock Grove | Clementine Chasseur | Clementine is such an interesting character. I'd love to learn more about her drive and her demons, her experiences with the Order and her recruitment, and her brother. I love her sometimes-contradictory attitude, her confidence and passion contrasted with her self-loathing and fear, her desires and her wish to be free of them, and her sense of self as corrupt. I'd love something about her time with Destiny - especially if there's an exploration of what Destiny represents to her, and what Destiny knows or doesn't know about that. I love the idea of Clementine at the center of a chilling, slow-paced investigative drama, or as the hottest ember in a quick and fiery encounter with non-human creatures of your choice. She's just awesome, and I want more! | |

| omnolentblue | Princess Princess (webcomic) | Amira (Princess Princess), Sadie (Princess Princess) | I adored Princess Princess, and a story featuring Amira and/or Sadie, either gen or femslash, would make me full of glee. I enjoy them as characters, both as individuals and as a couple, and I'd love to read more about them. I must admit that I lean towards the warm and fuzzy end of the spectrum with Princess Princess, but there's also a lot of space for a more serious approach. Both Amira and Sadie have their own issues, and they both have vocations that take a lot of strength and can cause a lot of headaches. |
letter |
| omnolentblue | Arkham Horror (Board Game) | Mandy Thompson | Lovecraftian mythos + awesome researcher = win! I'd be delighted by anything featuring Mandy, whether it's gen or het or femslash, whether the world ends or the Ancient Ones continue to slumber, whether she's on her own or working with a partner or partners. I love the idea of Mandy knowing things (although, in Arkham, that knowledge could just as easily destroy her, if not the world, as aid her) and figuring out how to survive the awakening of the Ancient Ones (or, at least, how to attempt to survive). |
letter |
| omnolentblue | Paintings - Colette Calascione | I knew I'd be requesting Calascione paintings the first time Dream of the Hungry Ghost crossed my RSS feed. I went exploring to find other Calascione paintings, and I found myself incredibly intrigued by her universe and wondering what the story (stories) behind these characters. I've left the request open to "any character," and, seriously, I would be thrilled to see anything in this world (these worlds). I'm going to talk a bit about all the different characters I nominated, why they caught my eye, but I in *no way* expect something that covers everyone! Seriously, any character means any character, and I'd be ecstatic to get anything. I'm using gender-neutral pronouns throughout this letter. Please tell the story with the characters and world-building that speaks to you and the story you're telling! In Dream of the Hungry Ghost, I dearly want to know what the story leading to this embrace is. Why do they have wings? What's the key? Is this a kiss of hello or farewell or a domestic, everyday encounter? Why does one character have leather-y wings and the other have feather-y wings? Or does zhe have wings - are they part of hir dress and assumed plumage? I don't know - I have all the questions! It's so interesting! Travelling Hermit originally caught my eye because of the steadiness and directness of hir gaze in combination with the owl-ish (? maybe - it's what I think of, anyway) wings on hir head. And then I started looking more closely, and there's the sphinx-ish animal on the table and the flower with the eye and and and. And who is the hermit? Is it the person in the dress? The animal on the table? Someone (something) else entirely? What is zhe thinking, as zhe gazes out so steadily? Does zhe wander and travel, or is zhe the guide of the one who does? How do all the living beings in this portrait fit together? What do they do every day or every night? Do extraordinary things happen three times before breakfast? Seriously, anything around any of these characters or world-building within these portraits would be delightful and happiness-inducing. |

| omnolentblue | Libraries (Anthropomorfic) | LIBRARIES! ALL THE LOVE OF LIBRARIES! Ahem. Although, really, my response is still LIBRARIES (ANTHROPOMORFIC) Y/Y/Y!!!! I grew up in libraries, I volunteered in the school library as a wee lass, I spent many hours studying and reading and screwing off on-line in libraries, I sought out the comfy chairs and electrical jacks in truly ridiculous numbers of libraries, I work in libraries -- all the library fic, it would be awesome and amazing. Do Reference Desk and Catalogue have an epic romance? How did Catalogue Record feel when zhe woke up digital? What does MARC think when zhe dresses in RDA (or does RDA borrow AACR2's MARC corset?)? How did Library feel when Internet slid into hir? Does Conservation Lab yearn to act recklessly? Is Reading Nook flirting with Digital Lab? Or what about the library as a place, an awesome space where knowledge is shared and preserved? Libraries contain so much and host so many people and are used in so many ways, there's a wealth of potential within their walls (or, in more recent digital initiatives, presented by their pages). Chained books and e-books, book clubs and anime nights, tiny children playing and srs bzns scholars studying -- libraries can be places of so much awesome, and there's so much one could say there. Is there Another Library at a slightly different angle to our own? Does a library grow organically with her community like a plant, reflecting its fortunes and people with rooms appearing and vanishing? Does a library slumber, dreaming of his past or having visions of her future? Something else entirely that I'm not imagining right now, for libraries are marvelous and contain multitudes? It would all be awesome and amazing. |

| Sonni89 | Ben and Kate (TV) | Mostly, what I'm looking for in terms of this request is any kind of interaction between the core five characters in any way, shape, or form. I love BJ/Ben and Kate/Tommy as ships, I love all the characters individually, I love any and all of them interacting with Maddie, I LOVE EVERYTHING. Just give me anything about them and I will be so, so happy! More specific stuff can be found in my DYW letter! | letter | |
| Sonni89 | 40 Days of Dating | Jessica Walsh, Timothy Goodman | There are so many open questions after the 40th blog entry, such as: How did their relationship/friendship continue after the 40 days? Does Tim apologize for his behavior towards the end How do they react to certain blog posts once they saw them? How do they react to their story being made into a movie? Or if you want to venture even further than that, fic of them at the movie premiere? Anything post-40 days will be amazing here, for more specifics and reasons for my prompt, see my DYW letter! | letter |
| Sonni89 | Elementary (TV) | Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Joan Watson (Elementary) | But basically, for this request, any romcom tropes you can put them in (whether they end up making out or not) would be amazing- only one hotel bed on a case? Yes please. Undercover marrieds? Yes please. Hurt/comfort? Yes please. Anything you can think of, really. I'm really happy for it to stay in gen territory if you prefer that, since I know not everyone ships them, I just want them to be put into romcom-y situations if at all possible- nothing has to come of it! :) For more details, see my letter! | letter |
| Sonni89 | Riordan College Series - Jaycee DeLorenzo | Ivy Rossini, Ian Hollister | Mostly, what I want from this request is fic for these two set after the book ended, with loads of banter and preferably little to no drama because the end of the book was a bit too much for me in terms of that. I loved their initial relationship and their freakouts about whether or not they are more than just friends, and all their scenes in the pool bar were fantastic, so anything along those lines will be amazing. For more details, see my DYW letter! | letter |
| Sonni89 | That '70s Show | Donna Pinciotti, Eric Forman, Steven Hyde, Jackie Burkhart | I would love a 2013!AU for them and see how they'd fare in today's world. I would love for them to go on a double date. I would love fic for them all set three or five years down the road, and as for almost all the prompts, feel free to give me ALL of the romcom tropes you can fit if that's your thing. In terms of group prompts if that's more your thing — road trips are awesome and I've loved the episodes when they went away, but I'll also love fic of them just hanging out in the basement, and I'll also love character studies for any and all of them. For more, see my DYW letter! | letter |

| ophia_sol | Three Hearings on the Existence of Snakes in the Human Bloodstream - James Alan Gardner | I just love the world Gardner's built in this story! SO MUCH LOVE. Anything about this paradigm would be amazing. Some possible ideas (which you by no means have to use, this is just me throwing thoughts out there): a fourth hearing set in the future, in-universe fanfic of the Bible-analogue of the religion, fic about branches of the religion other than the two main ones discussed in the story, or about other religions in this world, something about the lady-centred nature of the religion, etc. Feel free to use OCs or any or none of the characters from the original story. Gen, het, and slash are all fine. Please no explicit sex or awkward misunderstandings-leading-to-possible-embarrassment. | letter | |
| ophia_sol | Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe | Xury (Robinson Crusoe) | I was fighting mad when I read that scene where Crusoe happily hands fellow-escapee Xury over to be a slave and thinks it's okay just because Xury isn't white and Christian. So. Anything at all about Xury that fixes this, or draws attention to the problematic nature of what's going on, would be amazing! Maybe Xury runs away and does something awesome, maybe Xury sticks out the ten years and converts or doesn't convert or pretends to convert, maybe all sorts of things! Gen, slash, and het are all fine. Please no explicit sex or awkward misunderstandings-leading-to-possible-embarrassment. | letter |
| ophia_sol | The Star of Kazan - Eva Ibbotson | Ellie (The Star of Kazan), Sigrid (The Star of Kazan) | I love this book's commitment to chosen-family feels. And Ellie and Sigrid are explicitly best friends and care about each other a super lot, and they raise Annika together, and basically THEY ARE FAMILYYYYYYYY TO EACH OTHER and I don't even care whether their love for each other is platonic, romantic, sexual, whatever, THEY LOVE EACH OTHER THE END. So I would love to read something about the two of them! Maybe about them in their younger days when first getting to know each other? Or in their old age? Or when they were raising Annika? Or whatever! Just - the two of them caring about each other is all I want and need in life from Star of Kazan fic. | letter |
| ophia_sol | Cinderella (1997) | Queen Constantina (Cinderella 1997), King Maximilian (Cinderella 1997) | Um so I love everything about this movie, even though it's impressively cheesetastic. But my favourite part is the King and Queen. They so clearly love each other! A lot! And are very well-meaning but not perfect! And are basically SUPER ADORABLE WITH EACH OTHER IN EVERY SCENE THEY ARE IN. So really, write ANYTHING YOU LIKE about them being themselves, canon or AU, backstory or futurefic or anything at all, that would be great. BECAUSE THEY ARE GREAT. | letter |

| ophieisgod | More Than This - Patrick Ness | Seth Wearing, Tomasz (More Than This), Regine (More Than This), Gudmund (More Than This) | A perspective other than Seth's could be really interesting here - something about Tomasz or Regine's lives before him, or Gudmund's POV on their relationship. Alternatively, take us past the end of the novel and show us a lot of life and a found family. | letter |
| ophieisgod | Last Tango in Halifax (TV) | Caroline (Last Tango in Halifax), Gillian (Last Tango in Halifax), Kate (Last Tango in Halifax), William (Last Tango in Halifax) | A story about Caroline's relationship with any combination of the other listed characters would be fantastic.

| oundingsea | Silo Saga - Hugh Howey | The most intriguing thing about this universe, in my view, is the worldbuilding - how humanity got to this place, and how we survive. Any point in time from the plotting and construction to the dark days of silo collapses to the post-series changed world would be fascinating. If you'd like more specific prompts, for Lukas I'm interested in the inner life of IT, for Donald I'm intrigued by how an architecture student ended up in Congress, and for Juliette and Charlotte I'm excited to see them interact post-series (femslash if you like, but it's by no means necessary). Any characters whatsoever, including characters I didn't put on the list and original characters, are more than welcome! Additional notes: I'm not a huge fan of Solo/Jimmy nor of Bernard, so I'd prefer you avoid them if possible. |
letter | |
| oundingsea | Continuum (TV) | This fandom hits on one of my favorite tropes of 'person displaced in time'. Alec Sadler, especially future!Alec, intrigues me; the twisty way he's attempting to redirect the stream of time is fascinating. I also like Matthew Kellog's pragmatism, Lucas Ingram's tech chops, and Kiera in that I ship her with Alec, as he grows up and as she can't get home. (Kiera/anyone else is fine too; I just see a spark between her and Alec that there doesn't seem to be much fic for.) So if you want to focus on any character, even OCs or one not on the list, the thing I like the most is the foreknowledge of and attempts to change the future, and the disconnectedness inherent in being out of one's time. Additional notes: I definitely see the shades of grey in this fandom, so you don't need to go with "Kiera and the protectors are always right". |

| oundingsea | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Sabetha Belacoros | I am not even done with the third book yet (reading it on a trip this weekend) but I already know I am going to want more Sabetha! Fill-in-the-blanks, flashbacks, or futurefic would be great. I ship Locke/Jean but that's no obstacle to having Sabetha in the picture, particularly if you wanted to write them as an OT3, or even Sabetha/Jean that's all about Locke. I love the capers in the books and would gleefully read one, but there's no need if you'd rather write introspection than action. Love the characters themselves as well as their sordid world. | letter |
| oundingsea | Literary Trysts It Gives Me Great Joy To Think About RPF | Walt Whitman (Literary Trysts), Oscar Wilde (Literary Trysts) | o glad someone nominated this. And yes, I want Oscar Wilde/Walt Whitman so, so much. Bonus points for tying in poetry and prose they penned. Drenching your fic in period detail would fill me with great joy. And you don't need to dwell in the moment of the tryst; wistful memory years later would be equally as delectable. Time and distance must have muted it, but I'd imagine they would carry it with them. | letter |
| oupytwist | Parks and Recreation | Leslie Knope | I adore Leslie and want her to be happy. I am not even remotely kidding when I say that anything about that will make me a happy woman: Leslie as President! Leslie in space! Leslie becomes a superhero! Leslie becomes a guest judge on a cookery contest! I love Leslie best when she's all hard work and friendship and love of waffles, and what I really want is a celebration of that in whatever form you like. | letter |
| oupytwist | Legally Blonde (2001) | Elle Woods | I adore Elle, and my favourite thing about her is that she defeats all her enemies with the Power of Girliness. She takes manicures and shoes and her female friends seriously, and she's shown as being completely right to do so. So I would love to hear more about that. Elle's adventures of hilarious and adorable female empowerment, however you want to write about them, please! Maybe a look at Elle as President, or running for Senator, or getting the ERA passed? | letter |
| oupytwist | Seven Seas of Rhye (Song) | This song sounds like it's from some sort of epic sci-fi or fantasy saga, and what I would really love is a story about that. WTF is this person (alien? god?) doing exactly? Are they on our planet, a different planet, or what? What is the relationship they're talking about? It's obviously epic and queer as all get out, but beyond that I haven't got a clue, to be honest. I'd love to hear your ideas! | letter | |
| oupytwist | Rose Under Fire - Elizabeth Wein | Anna Engel (Rose Under Fire) | I want to know about Anna. We got more about her in Rose Under Fire than we had before, but that just left me asking more questions. She clearly did terrible things; she's also not Evil in any simplistic way. I want to know more about that. What was Anna's early life like? What was the point when she realised how bad things were? How exactly did it go for her, between Code Name Verity and Rose Under Fire? Or if you don't want to go there - which, wow, I cannot possibly blame you - I'd love to know what happens to her next. | letter |
| oupytwist | Making History - Stephen Fry | Michael "Puppy" Young, Steve Burns (Making History) | I adore basically everything about this novel - a combination of AU history, science fiction, and a queertastic love story is my kind of thing! Basically, I would love some more of that, please. I thought it would be nice to see what this new world they woke up in is actually like - after all, what DO you do when you've changed the world, done some E, and danced the night away? and just what else does the lack of Oily Moily portend? - but if you have other perspectives on this story you'd like to explore, please do! I'd love to know what Jane makes of the whole thing, or what happened the next universe over, or what Steve's life was like before the events of the novel, or whatever takes your fancy. | letter |
| Sout | Doom (2005) | Samantha Grimm, John Grimm, Eric "Goat" Fantom, Gregory "Duke" Schofield | This movie hit some magical sweet spot of implied worldbuilding, asskicking and explosions, and interesting character sketches/interactions, and it all made me want more. Explore practically any of those aspects in relation to my listed characters and I'll be happy. I'd also really like Sam and John to live and be reasonably okay, as at the end of the movie, regardless of who else lived or died. (More specific ideas are available at my letter.) | letter |
| Sout | Soon I Will be Invincible - Austin Grossman | Elphin (Soon I Will Be Invincible), Fatale (Soon I Will Be Invincible) | I'd really enjoy a case story or teamfic with a focus on these two, and if it was Elphin/Fatale, that would be great. For individual options, I'd like basically anything about Elphin - the book from her POV, backstory exploration, or what's going to happen now that she's fulfilled her quest. Possibly alongside meta on the fantasy genre in the same way that the book commented on the comics genre. For Fatale I just kinda want happy endings. Not exactly, since her circumstances don't allow for easy fixes, but something where she continues to settle into her new life and works on her issues. (There's a little more detail at my letter.) | letter |
| Sout | The Last Hero - G. K. Chesterton | The Lady Bride (Last Hero), The Last Hero (Last Hero Poem) | I'd enjoy this as a straightforward romp through epic battle and journeys, or something of a subversion that goes into the abduction of the bride and maybe a bit meta about what makes a "hero", anyway. It would also be great to see the story from the Lady Bride's side and what it took her to remain "imperial in duresse", or perhaps something about why this is a story of the last hero, and what else faded out of the world. (There is some more detail at my letter.) | letter |
| Sout | Howl Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Flower-in-the-Night | Being a diplomat post-series, or an AU where the Ingary crowd never comes into her life - though I don't mind at all if Abdullah does. Then again, perhaps the future that was seen for her never comes true, and then what does she do? I'd like if there were fairytale magic in the story that gets its tropes gently subverted, in the manner of the rest of the series. (There is slightly more detail at my letter.) | letter |
| paceelevator | Confessions of Dorian Gray | Dorian Gray (Confessions of Dorian Gray) | I'm /really/ not picky with this, I just want Dorian doing something somewhere with someone, either part of the official canon or otherwise. (More details on specific likes/dislikes in my Dear Yuletide Author letter.) | letter |
| paceelevator | Privates (TV) | Private White-Bowne, Private Davies | Details in Dear Yuletide Author letter. | letter |
| paceelevator | Vicious (2013) | Freddie Thornhill, Stuart Bixby, Violet Crosby | Details in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. | letter |
| paceelevator | Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse | Rupert Psmith, Mike Jackson | Details in my Dear Yuletide Author letter. | letter |
| Spatz | Banlieue 13 (Movies) | I'm partial to Leito/Damian, but literally anything in this fandom will make me happy, except for incest. Further details in my Yuletide letter! | letter | |
| Spatz | Lockout (2012) | Snow (Lockout), Emilie Warnock | omething post-movie dealing with Snow's epic trust issues and equally epic sense of loyalty, please. Bonus points for banter! Or if you wanted to tell me a story about how Snow is secretly submissive and fucked up about it, and Emilie figures it out and dominates the hell out of him, I would DIE HAPPY. | letter |
| Spatz | The Wolverine (2013) | Yukio (The Wolverine), Yashida Mariko (The Wolverine) | I would love backstory for these two, or anything about their relationship as foster sisters before, during, or after the movie. Again, no incest please, it's my one hardline squick. (further details -> see letter) | letter |
| Spatz | Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells | Selis (Books of the Raksura) | Anything about Selis! Her life after she leaves the Cordans, outsider POV on Moon/how she figured out he was a shifter, backstory about fleeing the Fell, futurefic where she shows up at Indigo Cloud as a trader -- anything! | letter |
| Spatz | Fast and the Furious Series | Han Lue, Gisele Harabo | Fix-it, please? I refuse to believe either of them are dead. If that's really not something you feel you can do, I would also enjoy a story about them being hilarious and gorgeously competent and respecting each other really hard (that's not a euphemism-- well, maybe....*g*). | letter |
| Spatz | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | Tenzing Tharkay | I already had a weakness for highly competent, inscrutable characters with a gift for sarcasm, and then Blood of Tyrants happened and gave me even MORE feels about Tharkay. Anything about him would be great, though I admit a certain partiality to Laurence and Tharkay's relationship (as a friendship or romance). | letter |
| peakmefair | 14th Century CE RPF | Anne of Bohemia (14th Century CE RPF), Geoffrey Chaucer (14th Century CE RPF) | Anything involving Chaucer writing for Anne and Richard II reading it. Have fun! | letter |
| peakmefair | Coriolanus - Shakespeare | Caius Martius (Coriolanus), Tullus Aufidius | Anything. Anything at all. Give me an AU, modern, fantasy, play-based, historically based, whatever you like. | letter |
| peakmefair | Les Trois Mousquetaires | The Three Musketeers - Alexandre Dumas | Athos (Dumas), Aramis (Dumas), Porthos (Dumas) | Early years. Or late years. Anything involving the Three Inseparables, and have some D'Artagnan POV if you like, as well! Any Athos/Aramis loved forever. | letter |
| peakmefair | Richard II - Shakespeare | Duke of Aumerle (Richard II), Richard II of England (Richard II), Henry IV of England (Richard II) | Oh gosh, give me anything, here, and I'll love it. If you write me an AU where everyone LIVES like unto Doctor Who I will love you always. | letter |
| peakmefair | The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011) | Micheletto (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)), Lucrezia Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)), Cesare Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)) | Anything you like, dear writer. Anything you like. And enjoy! | letter |
| Specialcookies | Sherlock (TV) RPF | Amanda Abbington, Benedict Cumberbach (Sherlock RPF), Martin Freeman | either a threeway with amanda being the top or martin/benedict centered with martin being the top. if it's martin/benedict, must refer to the conflict amanda creates, and must never, ever, make martin fall out of love with her. preferably includes amanda/benedict friendship, even if it's not a threeway. | |
| Specialcookies | Third Star (2010) | James Kimberly Griffith, Miles (Third Star) | preferably miles/james as a ship, but it's not a must. please don't change the ending of the movie, or write an AU where james isn't sick/doesn't die/any other thing. you can write an AU, it'll just have to include the cancer, and the fact the miles helps him commit suicide. | |
| Specialcookies | Vikings RPF | George Blagden, Travis Fimmel | ||
| Specialcookies | Hemlock Grove | Peter Rumancek, Roman Godfrey | the more angsty, the better. no alternate ending to season one. and no ignoring roman's rape (like the show, i know. whatever). either peter coming back or roman going to find him will be excellent. | |
| Specialcookies | The Hour | Lix Storm, Randall Brown, Bel Rowley, Freddie Lyon | preferably a pre-series fic for randall and lix, or an AU (college au wink wink), lix/randall and freddie/bel, no mixing and matching. | |
| pecialrhino | Captive Prince - S. U. Pacat | Laurent (Captive Prince) | "Because it was impossible, he allowed himself to imagine, just once, what it would be like to face Laurent as a man...if there had been no animosity between their countries, Laurent journeying to Akielos as part of an embassy, Damen's attention superficially caught by the blond hair. They'd attend banquets and sports together, and Laurent...he had seen Laurent with those he cultivated, charming and edged without being lethal; and he was honest enough with himself to admit that if he had encountered Laurent in that mode, all golden lashes and needling remarks, he might well have found himself in some danger." What if this is what had happened? What if Auguste had never died and Laurent had remained the innocent bookworm he had been ("'I told [Auguste] he could get heirs and I would read books.'")? Other things I would love to see: a moment between Laurent and Auguste before the events of the novel, of the fluffy or slice-of-life-y variety (if it's primarily about Auguste's final battle I will cry all over my keyboard and maybe short circuit my laptop so, uh, please use Marlas sparingly); a view of Damen from another character's POV (he's supposed to be tall and imposing and also, it's hinted, super hot, but doesn't seem to notice his effect on people. he also calmly takes care of problems in a way that laurent, at least, is very impressed by. has lazar been hitting on him the whole time without him noticing? is half the company really initimidated by him? do he and laurent look like the perfect matched pair? does he have a weird accent??); Nicaise and Laurent interacting (especially with banter or with Damen awkwardly sitting on the sidelines or maybe an AU where Laurent buys out Nicaise's contract); Damen and Laurent years later, happily co-kings of their united kingdoms (wildly implausible, but it would be hilarious to hear them banter over something mundane, like Laurent manipulating Damen into taking a vacation or having a spring wedding, lol. I just want to see them happy and taking a break, for once.) |
letter |
| pecialrhino | Mairelon the Magician - Patricia Wrede | Kim Merrill, Richard Merrill | Mairelon always appears to be so distracted and unaffected by everything, but in the second novel we get the sudden insight that he'd been in love with Kim for who knows how long. The book only gives little tidbits of Mairelon's regard because Kim is so ignorant of it herself, but the tiiiiiny glimpses we get of the romance make me want to see more of it like burning. Any snippet from Richard's POV and his thoughts on Kim at any point in the book series would be amazing — what did he think of her when they met? At what point did he fall in love with her? How did his conversation with the guy asking for her hand in marriage go? Something from Hunch's or Lady Wendell's point of view has the potential to be hilarious, seeing as they both know Mairelon better than anyone and are typically very frank. I happen to really enjoy when two characters are practically already dating but just don't realize it yet, so any side characters that can facepalm on the side would be lovely. Other things that would be great: Jealousy! Mairelon being distracted by Kim when he's supposed to be teaching her magic! Hurt/comfort! A honeymoon trip to the Continent that turns into a crimesolving adventure! A canon-divergent AU where Mairelon and Kim find out they love one another while investigating a mystery/crime in some shamelessly trope-y way (pretend to be betrothed! Sharing a bed! Truth spell!)! Them being affectionate in a bar and being mistaken for gay men! Kim and Mairelon meeting pre-series! Feel free to write something as plotty or not plotty as you wish, because the book series has intense plottiness covered but casefic is always lovely. Also banter and Kim being exasperated is always awesome as well. ♥ |

| pecialrhino | Skip Beat! | Mogami Kyoko | More of Kyoko's father-daughter relationship with Kuu, please! I watched The Secret Garden waaaay too many times as a kid, and thus have a thing for pseudo-familial relationships where one or both characters are too gruff to hug it out (see: Hanna, The Fall). Does Kuu come visit again? Does she go to the states to see him? An AU where Kyoko somehow gets adopted by him (whether past, future or presentfic)? Does Ren ever tell Kuu why Kyoko's acting of Kuon was spot on? I'd also like to hear more about Kyoko's mother — what exactly was her mother's deal? Is Kyoko secretly not her kid? What happened to her father? What would happen if her mother became gravely ill or died? Would Sho go to her mother's funeral? Would Kyoko be left something surprising in her will? What would have happened to Kyoko had Sho's family not taken her in? Anything from the inside of Reino's head would be interesting — I have a feeling it's hilarious in there, and I'm pretty sure the whole visual kei attitude is a marketing gimmick (especially because he never wanted to be in a band in the first place). It's also heavily implied that his psychic powers aren't actually sinister — he offers to exorcise Kuon's rock for Kyoko at one point — does his family own a shrine? Did he join the band because his mom was nagging at him to get a job? Does he witness any of the scenes from the manga, unseen? It would be hilarious if he saw Bo and Ren speaking, knowing with his ability to sense auras that Ren has no idea he's talking to Kyoko and Kyoko has no idea she's talking to Kuon. And, of course, I would love some Kyoko/Ren, whether it's about Kuon and Kyoko as children, or them doing something couple-y and Kyoko thinking nothing of it, or shippy futurefic. |

| pecialrhino | The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov | Pontus Pilate (The Master and Margarita) | Anything in the melancholic tone of the book would make me ridiculously happy. I don't care if it's plotty or mundane or a character picking their nose, I just really love the atmosphere and characters Bulgakov created (although Pontius Pilate, Margarita and Homeless are my favourite). We got to see the true nature of Woland's retinue in the moonlight at the end of the book — who were Behemoth and Koroviev and Azazello before they ended up helping Woland? How did they end up part of his retinue? Do they ever run into people that resemble those from their former life? How was Pontius Pilate's life before being posted in Jerusalem? After Yeshua's death? What was he like as a kid? When did he get his dog? What about a Golden Compass AU where Pontius Pilate is the polar bear and his dog is Lyra (feel free to ignore the majority of the plot of the book and focus more on how Pontius Pilate is a grouch because of his migranes missing armor and Banga just wants to help him and cheer him up)? What's Homeless up to? Had he and Margarita met before the events of the novel? Does he go to Limbo after he dies and become friends with Margarita or Pontius Pilate? Feel free to try and make this AU. I'm not sure how you would do it, but you can def make it cracky if you don't want to write something melancholy. :) |

| pecialrhino | Oresama Sensei | Oresama Teacher | Kurosaki Mafuyu | hips that I like (whether gen or romantic): Takaomi/Mafuyu, Mafuyu/Kengawa, Mafuyu/girls, Yui/Hayasaka, Sakurada/Aoi This comic is hilariously meta, so feel free to throw in any trope (pretend to be dating! Marriage of convenience! School play! H/c! Sickfic! Magically deaged/turned into a kittenfic! Anything else you can think of!) and have one of the characters step back and be like, how is this actually happening. ಠ_ಠ Futurefic for any of these pairings would be awesome (because I doubt the manga-ka will get Mafuyu and Takaomi together until she's of age) but presentfic shenanigans, gen or otherwise would be great too. Whenever Mafuyu asks about Hayasaka's family or his name or Hayasaka accidentally says something weird about actually getting to speak to his parents over break, he quickly changes the subject. Why is that? Are his parents famous? Is he a foreigner? Is he a PRINCE?? Is someone going to come whisk him away? Does Yui sekritly know? I really like all of Mafuyu's friends from her old school (+Sakurada). What shenanigans do they get up to on a daily basis? It's sort of implied that Mafuyu changes people when she's around. How has she affected the people in her ex-gang? What does an outsider's POV of one of Mafuyu's visit look like? What does Takaomi's POV look like? Scenes from his perspective don't usually have many thought bubbles. Also, what favor did Takaomi ask of the rich woman he helped out in volume 5? Given all of the times characters in the manga make fun of shoujo manga and dramas, I think it'd be pretty funny if someone grew up to be a writer for manga or tv. What do you see the characters doing when they're older? Do weird combinations of people end up going to the same college? Does Mafuyu get a modelling job as Natsuo??? |
letter |
| pecialrhino | 연애조작단; 시라노 | Dating Agency: Cyrano (TV) | Gong Min-young, Do Arang | Ah Rang/Min Young of any sort (het or pre-het gen) would make me really happy! Are they basically dating without noticing it and Moo Jin or someone else has to point it out? Is one of their targets a wedding planner and Min Young and Ah Rang have to pretend to be engaged? Does Ah Rang go off to college or overseas and then comes back and sweeps Min Young off her feet? Is there a power outage and they camp out in Ah Rang's tent? All of Ah Rang's peers are dazzled by him — is he charmed that Min Young treats him as an equal? Does he actually find this frustrating? Does Moo Jin step in and give him dating advice? Do he and Hye Ri try to set Min Young and Ah Rang up? Feel free to go crazy with romcom tropes/aus with them, because they would be such a functional, adorable couple. ♥ If you don't want to make it shippy, some snippet of them hanging out or someone else meditating on their relationship would be cute too. Orrr you could do some snippet of Moo Jin's friendship with either Ah Rang or Min Young or an ot3 (please ignore rather than bash Moo Jin's girlfriend) or a friendship!ot3. Randomly, I'd also be down for a Master/Moo Jin/Hye Ri as a side pairing. Because Master's pretty cool and needs to cheer up. |

| phinxvictorian | Amazing Grace (2006) | William Pitt the Younger, William Wilberforce | omething a little slashy between the two men would be nice, but PG rather than R. | letter |
| phinxvictorian | King Arthur (2004) | Lancelot (King Arthur (2004)), Arthur Castus (King Arthur (2004)) | I love the idea that it was Arthur and Lancelot, with Guenevere getting in the way, so I'd love a story to do with that dynamic. PG to R, please. | letter |
| phinxvictorian | The Lion in Winter (1968) | Philip II of France (Lion in Winter) | I'd love to see a story about Philip just cutting a swathe through all four of the Plantagenet men, and the different relationships he has with each one, whether intimate or challenging, etc. R is fine. | letter |
| phinxvictorian | Local Hero (1983) | Danny Oldsen | I'd love to see whether Danny ever catches up with Marina and what happens if he does. Is she a selkie? R is fine. | letter |
| phinxvictorian | The Last Enemy (TV) | Stephen Ezard, Yasim Anwar | I want to see if he ever manages to find her again. Can he break free from the government control? If he can, is she even still alive? Or does she come and find him somehow? R or NC-17 is fine for this one. | letter |
| phinxvictorian | Push (2009) | Cassie Holmes, Nick Gant | Maybe something about them getting together when she's a bit older, post-film. R-NC-17 is fine, not too violent (the film itself sort of pushes my violence limits, I'll admit!). | letter |
| picy_diamond | AMNESIA (Visual Novel) | Heroine (AMNESIA), Ukyo (AMNESIA), Orion (AMNESIA) | I'd love to see something with the Heroine and Ukyo - with memories, without memories, in the world of Joker, or in any of the other worlds, Later or Crowd sweetness or darker Bad End - anything would make me happy. The 'traveling through space/time/dimensions to save the one you love' troupe makes me go all mushy and fangirly inside. Love it to death. As such, I was endlessly fascinated by Ukyo's relationship with the Heroine in every world he encountered. Any expansion on that, or on his darker half would also be interesting. Add Orion as needed. | letter |
| picy_diamond | Crimson Empire ~Circumstances to Serve a Noble~ (Visual Novel) | Sheila Rozann, Rambures Dannunzio, Michael Faust | I'm utterly in love with how awesome Sheila is — former slave, assassin, demon-touched, maid, oath-sworn to a future King. She's a fascinating character all around and I'd love to see more of her. An inopportune visit from Michael? Old battle scars? An encounter of class prejudices in the palace? And just how does one go about telling someone that you've sold your soul to a demon? This fandom is so tiny and in need of love, I want it all. | letter |
| picy_diamond | Diabolik Lovers (Visual Novel) | Komori Yui, Sakamaki Kanato, Sakamaki Shuu | I would really, really love something dark and delicious and Yui centric. Post game speculations? Awkward feeding situations? How does a good, religious girl deal with unrelenting corruption of her soul? Go ahead and pull out all the stops on this one. Give it to me bloody, creepy, and dark. I'd sorta like to keep Yui alive if at all possible, but, when it comes to sadistic vampires, sometime death is a lesser evil. So feel free to have fun and make things as twisted as possible. | letter |
| picy_diamond | Inu x Boku Secret Service | The Dog and Me Secret Service (Anime) | Shirakiin Ririchiyo, Miketsukami Soushi, Shoukiin Kagerou | I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the characters for this series. It managed to be sweet and cute and slice of life with a side of demons; then, turn around and be heart-wrenching at the same time. I'd love to see more with Ririchiyo and Miketsukami. The over-the-top mistress and dog dynamic was just so fun to watch, and I was endlessly amused at how Miketsukami sparkled his way into having Ririchiyo do exactly what he wanted. Really, fluff, angst, character introspective, gen, random antics in Ayakashi-kan, when it comes to this fandom I want it all! I also would be extremely interested in reading more about the events post prologue/anime, thus the inclusion of Kagerou as a character, but no worries if you haven't got that far. | letter |
| piderfire | The Continuing Time Series - Daniel Keys Moran | Trent Castanaveras (Continuing Time), Mohammed Vance (Continuing Time), Denice Castanaveras (Continuing Time), Camber Tremodian (Continuing Time) | I'd love a missing scene - the further adventures of Trent - something either in the timeline or beyond the published works. However, a missing scene involving any of these characters would be fabulous. Note - I put all the characters on here because I wanted to give you some leeway to play with. You do not have to use all of the characters - just one is fine! |
letter |
| piderfire | The Sparrow - Mary Doria Russell | D.W. Yarbrough, Emilio Sandoz, Sofia Mendes, Anne Edwards | Any exploration of the life Emilio did not choose. Or, a missing scene would be great! Note - I put all the characters on here because I wanted to give you some leeway to play with. You do not have to use all of the characters - just one is fine! |
letter |
| piderfire | Patternist Series - Octavia E. Butler | Doro (Patternist Series), Anyanwu (Patternist Series) | omething creepy! Anywhere in their timeline. Inventing OCs who Doro and/or Anyanwu use would be awesome. Note - I put all the characters on here because I wanted to give you some leeway to play with. You do not have to use all of the characters - just one is fine! |
letter |
| piderfire | E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) | Michael (E.T.), Gertie (E.T.), E.T. (E.T), Elliott (E.T.) | At the end of E.T., E.T. invites Elliott to come with him. I would love a story where Elliott goes. And maybe comes back some years later and finds his adult siblings. Note - I put all the characters on here because I wanted to give you some leeway to play with. You do not have to use all of the characters - just one is fine! |
letter |
| Spirouline | 19th Century CE France RPF | George Sand (19th Century CE France RPF) | I'd really love to see something with Sand/Chopin, Fluff would be really appreciated: Suit-shopping together? Sand trying to woo Chopin? Sand _trying_ to have a nice day with Chopin during their stay in Mallorca? Domestic quarreling? If you'd rather write something bleak, I'd be game for that too. Also I'd totally love it to see her in charge of the relationship. Alternatively, I'd like to see something where young Sand terrorizes the countryside where she grew up, going out on adventures? Chasing boys and girls? Discovering how to write? Please don't write her exclusively romancing girls. |
letter |
| Spirouline | Versailles no Bara | Rose of Versailles | Oscar François de Jarjayes, André Grandier, Marie Antoinette (Rose of Versailles) | I love Oscar so much. I love that she's herself, I love that she's the one who seems to be wearing the pants, I love that she and André seem to be equal. I totally ship Oscar/André. I'd like to see them hanging out, having adventures, or just plain annoying the heck out of each other. Or just being friends? What if they survived the revolution? Can André cook? Would Oscar, on a whim, decide to try doing 'servant's' work? I'm also really curious about the whole "murder suicide” thing André was planning in a chapter(I think it was between 30-40 but I'm not completely sure). What was he thinking, really? What are his feelings after-wards? Does he deal with it in any way? Did Oscar ever find out?(And no, you don't have to write in Marie Antoinette if you don't want to.) Oscar and Marie-Antoinette are probably my platonic otp for this series, so if I could get some interaction between them(Or a fic about the two of them!), that'd be rad. Oscar explaining the whole "So my dad hosted a ball so I could get married..” thing? Younger Marie-Antoinette and Oscar discussing the various trials and turbulations of growing up in their various vocations? |
letter |
| Spirouline | Literary RPF | Lord Byron (Literary RPF), Percy Shelley (Literary RPF), Mary Shelley (Literary RPF) | Reading the somewhat snarky anthology of Romanticism for my university studies has given me the impression that the Shelleys and Byron were a tad, shall we say, hilarious. As in, ”Percy went to Ireland, where he wanted to start a Revolution”. And then, writing 'atheist' after his name in ”At least four hotel registers”, to the outrage of tourists. And I think we all know the story of Byron and his bear. So! Perhaps a yarn of Percy and Byron's magnificent shenanigans? Important things, like trying to create revolutions in all the wrong places? Less important things, like evading Byron's stalker ex-girlfriend? Also, I do totally ship Byron/Percy Shelley and would be super stoked if you decided to write them as lovers(whether it be fluff or porn), or just being rad bros. Also, if you don't want to focus on them specifically, or if you'd rather write about Mary, that's super awesome too! Mary Shelley steadily being disillusioned by her new husband? Mary really trying to be all deep and brooding and emo while her husband and sister are trying to host Woodstock 1820? Mary being the only sane person in the entire household, having to put up with her husbands shenanigans? Dark humor would be appreciated, though if you want to tread lightly, I'd be just as happy with that. Domestic fluff with her and Percy working on Frankenstein? Mary and Shelley out on a gothic adventure with abandoned castles? I'd love to read any of it! Just one must: Please have Percy be alive and kicking, and be part of the story. |
letter |
| Spirouline | Black Jack (Anime & Manga) | Black Jack, Pinoko (Black Jack), Makube Rokurou, Kisaragi Kei | Black Jack BJ/Rokuro-I like this pairing, either it be platonic or romantic. I'd really like to see them during BJ's high school days, were they both delinquents? I'm also a little intrigued about Rokuro's side of things, and how he saw the relationship. Some slice-of-life-y stuff would be nice, or just some insane pulpy adventure where the two of them are pitted against each other, complete with guns and car chases. BJ/Kei Kisaragi Kei is soo cool and cute I like her wearing her suit, I really do, and I'd like to see her re-united with BJ and whatever fallout or rekindling might occur, or just the two catching up over coffee. Casefic where she's got to work together with BJ? Or just a slice-of-life thing where she's away on a boat being an awesome doctor. Pinoco I love the platonic, familial relationship between BJ and Pinoco, and how he's really not a very good parent, but at the very least tries. And how Pinoco has an attitude and has to deal with things herself most of the time. I'd really like to see something focusing on the familial relationship, perhaps from Pinoco's perspective? Or just focusing on Pinoco's daily life. Please don't make it romantic, though one-sided from Pinco is OK. |

OR joseph doesn't die, but comes close. jack drops everything to be with him (for good). |

| poilers | JoJo no Kimyouna Bouken | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure | Jolyne Kujo | Anything with Jolyne in it! Relationship with her parents, hanging out with F.F. and Hermes, fighting new Stand users that are the real cause behind all the weird stuff that happens in Florida, Christmas in prison, Jolyne meeting other Jojos-- four year old Jolyne in Morioh, Jolyne being sprung from jail by Giorno's mob connections, ANYTHING WITH JOLYNE. | letter |
| poilers | Guilty Gear | Millia Rage | Millia fic! Either during her time with the Assassins (maybe she gets sent on assignment to kill someone else in the cast, or ends up running into them while on some job?) or during the main series (or even fic coming up with what happened between AC+ and Xrd!). | letter |
| poilers | Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker | I'd take anything for WW! Great Sea backstory fic, pirate adventures with Link and Tetra (and Aryll??), growing up on Outset Island and hearing stories of the hero of time, exploring your favorite side quest island, Ganondorf adjusting to the new oceanified Hyrule, Link and Aryll and their grandma, the big immortal characters and their take on legacies and reincarnation, anything. I only ask to not get fic of Ganondorf shipped with any of the kids (though shipping him with adults/OCs is alright!) | letter | |
| poilers | Batgirl (Comics) | Stephanie Brown (Batgirl), Cassandra Cain (Batgirl) | teph and Cass, either shipped or gen! The "surprise, Steph isn't dead!" reunion we didn't get to see, visiting each other in Hong Kong/Gotham/Bludhaven, what Batgirl means to both of them, future fic exploring the possible fights given at the end of the last Batgirl issue (with Cass involved!), Batfamiliy shenanigans where everyone's one big happy family, teaching Cass how to do everyday life, anything! | letter |
| poke | Yoroiden Samurai Troopers | Ronin Warriors | Sanada Ryou | Ryo Sanada, Date Seiji | Sage Date, Hashiba Touma | Rowen Hashiba, Xiu Lei Huang | Kento Rei Fang | What are mini-prompts please forgive my fail! I love all the characters, so if there's someone here who didn't get nominated, but you want to use them? Go for it! Xiu is my favorite, the one I think grows up to be more or less the boss - but all of the boys are awesome. Slice-of-life, crazy au, it is all good. Have fun! :) | letter |
| poke | Digger (Comic) | Digger-of-Unnecessarily-Convoluted-Tunnels, Shadowchild, Ed (Digger), Sweetgrass Voice | Anything you care to write, as long as it's true to the feel of the comics. What's Shadowchild doing these days? How did Sweetgrass Voice get started, and/or what is it like having those memories/that understanding, for Shadowchild? What does Digger even tell her family, when she gets home? Note that I really believe Digger will not miss adventuring, only the people she met -and that's something I like about her. Further adventures in this case would be a do-not-want. |
letter |
| poke | Breath of Fire IV | Fou-Lu, Ursula (Breath of Fire IV), Scias (Breath of Fire IV), Ryuu (Breath of Fire IV) | o what is it like rebuilding an empire when the Emperor is dead and everything is in ruins? Does the gang keep in touch with each other after it all, and how? Or crazy aus! Or how Scias ended up being a bounty hunter, or what he's even thinking when he gets caught up in this mess. Have fun! | letter |

Rebuilding the world from ruins, how everyone gets along, do they meet up again afterwards - does anyone go looking for the ghost train again? Does anyone who suggests that get crazy looks?! Or maybe during/pre-series - what was it like for Celes, training with Kefka of all people. Did anyone early on appreciate the depths of the man's derangement? Last and as always - have fun! |
letter |
| pringgreen | Angel Sanctuary | Kurai (Angel Sanctuary), Mad Hatter | Belial (Angel Sanctuary), Sevothtarte (Angel Sanctuary) | The character list is more an OR instead of an AND, so any focus on any of the above characters is fine. This is also one of the fandoms I frequently request because the world is so big and there are so many characters to cover! I'd love to know more about Kurai's royal life, or the time when she and the Mad Hatter are thrown together. I also love pretty much everything about the Mad Hatter/Belial. And I wonder about Sevothtarte/Laila (sp?) and what they might have been thinking throughout the series, or when she decided to become Sevothtarte. | |
| pringgreen | Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena | Kagee Shoujo | Shadow Play Girls, Arisugawa Juri | The character list is more an OR than an AND. I've always loved Juri in the series, especially how bitter she is about love and miracles and whatnot to Utena and how she ends up believing in them anyway. Her duel when she destroys her own rose is one of my favorites. What happens to her after the series? Does she ever get over Shiori? Or: the shadow play girls! They are the best!!! What in the world is their story? Do they do stuff after the series? How did they end up as shadow play girls anyway? Do the characters ever learn about them? | |
| pringgreen | Bái Fà Mó Nǚ Zhuàn | Bride with White Hair (1993) | Lian Nichang | I got awesome fic for this before, but the ending of the movie is so sad and tragic that I keep wanting more good endings for the two main characters. More Lian Nichang backstory is also always good, or what happens to her after the movie (I generally pretend the second movie is fanon or doesn't exist). Also, uh, as you can probably tell, something that reunites the star-crossed lovers with a lot of angst and regrets and etc. | |
| pringgreen | 7 Seeds | I would love to know more about the world! I'm curious about 7 Seeds programs from other countries, or other shelters like the one Mark was at, or all the background politicking that I'm sure was going on when Japan was putting together its teams. I am totally fine with original characters, though I tend to prefer ones that are diverse in some way (i.e. kind of sick of all the young, white, cis, het, non-disabled men out there). I would also love to know more about any of the character's background from before they woke up in the post-apocalyptic world, particularly Chisa, Fujiko, Matsuri, Ran, Natsu, the psychic cousins, etc. I'm also good with any character you like! Or tell me more about Ayu or Koruri or Nijiko and how they're adjusting to the new world. | letter | |
| pring_gloom | Animamundi Dark Alchemist | Georik Zaberisk, Francis Dashwood | I ship Georik/Dashwood like the burning fires of Hell. Given how Dashwood's end goes, you may need some sort of magic/Hell-dwelling/AUing/timeline shenanigans to make this ship work. I've sort of assumed that you're okay with shipping if you've signed up for this given the nature of the game, but if you'd prefer to keep Dashwood's love for his Master sadly unrequited like in canon, that's fine too! |
letter |
| pring_gloom | Hotel Dusk | Kyle Hyde, Brian Bradley | I'm a sucker for cop partners. I'd like something about their relationship (as partners, friends or more). One thing I'm keen on is some pre-game gritty 70s cop stuff from back when they were partners, before or during the Nile investigation. If not, I'd be happy with some fic about Kyle angsting over Bradley, during or post- game. I'm very fond of Rachel if you want to include her as, again, friends or something more. I've played Last Window, so feel free to mention anything you like from that. |
letter |
| pring_gloom | Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse | Rupert Psmith, Mike Jackson | I love all the Wodehouse books I've read, but I particularly enjoy Psmith. Maybe it's because I particularly enjoy stories about boarding school hijinks and I have a soft spot for charming troublemakers, but Mike and Psmith immediately became some of my favourite characters ever. I ship them, but I also love their deep and everlasting friendship that endured despite (or because of) their difference. I've read all the Psmith books so I don't mind where along the timeline you write the fic. | letter |
| pring_gloom | Tiger & Bunny | Keith Goodman | Sky High | ky High is just too adorkable and earnest and a total ditz. If you're willing to write ship fic, I'd ship him with anyone; my first preference would be slash, but I'm fine with het too. Because our lesser heroes get less screen time, there's plenty we haven't seen of Keith. Like what he gets up to in his off-time, if he ever hangs out with the other heroes, why he's such a workaholic who patrols by himself at night, or even how he got into the Hero business. | letter |
| prl1199 | Justice League & Justice League Unlimited (Cartoons) | Wally West (Justice League Cartoon) | I *love* animated DCU Wally West. He's cheerful, sweet, relentlessly upbeat, and at the end of the day, being a hero and all it stands for really means something to him. I'd love to see a story that focuses on Wally outside of the costume: slice of life, character study, or something more dramatic that starts in costume and spills over into Wally's civilian life, anything works! Feel free to invent a back story for Wally or draw from elsewhere in DCU and to include other members of the JL at your pleasure. If you decide to throw in some romance, I tend to prefer slash, but if there's a het pairing you'd prefer to write, feel free. :) | |
| prl1199 | Cut & Run - Madeleine Urban & Abigail Roux | Ty Grady | I love both boys from this series, but I have a special place in my heart for Ty (he's such a badass mama's boy). I'd like to see something featuring Ty that gives a bit of insight into the man he is. Story can take place before or during the series, and it's entirely up to you if you want to include Zane. Extra points for action and mortal danger! | |
| prl1199 | Special Unit 2 | Nick O'Malley | It's been YEARS since I thought about this show, but when I saw it as a possibility for Yuletide, I got sort of giddy. If you do indeed end up writing this prompt, give me anything! Especially if it includes Nick, and you should feel more than free to throw him into something slashy (and if slash isn't your thing, then no worries at all...write what you want!). | |
| prl1199 | 3:10 to Yuma (2007) | Dan Evans, Ben Wade | I like these two as a romantic pairing, but if that's not your cup of tea, friendship/mutual admiration works just as well. :) I'd love to see them interacting with each other before, during or after the movie (which could very obviously require a bit of a rewrite of the ending, but no matter...I'm game if you are). Again, bonus points for action! THANK YOU, YULETIDE SANTA!!! |
|
| procket | Matthew Swift Series - Kate Griffin | Penny Ngwenya, Dr Seah (Matthew Swift), Oda (Matthew Swift), Nabeela Hirj | Write what you love! If the Adventures of Penny Ngwenya, Urban Sorceress, strike your fancy, that would be cool. Or if you love your city, I'm sure a younger Swift visited it. | letter |
| procket | Mortal City - Dar Williams (Song) | I love the progression from isolation to a sense of connection with everyone in the city. I love the word-poem. I love the idea this could spawn a character study, and/or a cuddly vignette, and/or super-futuristic Delaneyesque 25th Century city with genderqueer characters, and/or magical realism. | letter | |
| procket | 100 Books That Should Be Written (Tumblr) | If we matched on another fandom which has left you scratching your head, this is a great fallback option. I love that this is basically a series of transformative works in graphic format. What a great chance to write 1,000 words about the title that strikes your fancy, or how the book came to be, or what inspired the graphic artist(s) in that universe to make that cover (bonus: alternate history and/or alternate future history), the impact of one (or more) of these 100 (fictional) books on an OC's life (bonus: crossovers), whatever floats your boat. | letter | |
| procket | Stargate Universe | Vanessa James, Tamara Johansen, Lisa Park | Please see Dear Writer letter at http://sprocket.dreamwidth.org/5767.html. | letter |
| procket | Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey | Stefen (Valdemar) | I would love post-Vanyel Stephen and the political machinations he likely gets into to fulfill that thing at the end of "Magic's Price". If that doesn't strike your fancy, (a) OPTIONAL DETAILS ARE OPTIONAL, (b) I love all things Tarma and Kethry, (c) I also love all things Savil, including knocking sense into her mopey favorite nephew's head; (d) more blather in my letter at http://sprocket.dreamwidth.org/5767.html. | letter |
| puffyduds | Canadian Actor RPF | Callum Keith Rennie, Hugh Dillon, Paul Gross, Martha Burns | Would love some smoking hot porn with any to all of these folk--especially Callum and Hugh. Would prefer open relationships to cheating. If you are not in porn mode that is totally cool--would also love banter and snark and namecalling with obvious buried affection. | |
| puffyduds | Slings & Arrows | Geoffrey Tennant, Ellen Fanshaw, Darren Nichols, Anna Conroy | Any of these people just talking at each other and riffing on Shakespeare would be amazing. Porn of any sort is also great. (I would be amazed and fascinated if anyone could pull off Darren/Anna.) But really I just want to hear them all talk some more. | |
| puffyduds | Northern Exposure | Chris Stevens, Maggie O'Connell | Would love a sweet, happy-ending postseries Chris/Maggie. Would be interesting if they in some way had to deal with Maggie's difficult family or Chris's somewhat checkered past. Chris's professed love of managerial clothes on women makes me ponder a light dom/sub scenario with Maggie topping, if you're up for that, but just a happy romance is cool! | |
| puffyduds | Twin Peaks | Audrey Horne, Laura Palmer | Would love a sizzling pre-series Laura/Audrey. And I think the source material suggests that it should be as twisted and fraught as possible. :) | |
| pyglass | American Girls: Samantha - Various Authors | Samantha Parkington, Eddie Ryland, Gardner Edwards, Cornelia Edwards | I really want to read about Samantha and her relationships with her family and friends! Especially something about Samantha as she grows up and explores the world and what's available to her. I would love to read about a potential romance between Samantha and Eddie if they ran into each other sometime in the future. I would also really enjoy something that explored Gardner and Cornelia's relationship. | letter |
| pyglass | Gallagher Girls Series - Ally Carter | Abby Cameron, Edward Townsend | The dynamic between these two was one of my favorite dynamics in the series, and they were definitely my favorite romantic ship. I would love to see that explored more, from their past to how they became a couple to how they deal with the revelations we got in United We Spy. | letter |
| pyglass | Kenzie-Gennaro Series - Dennis Lehane | Patrick Kenzie, Angela Gennaro | I really love Patrick and Angie together and would love to see more of that, whether it's them working on a case or something that focuses on their friendship and eventual romance. | letter |
| pyglass | Psy-Changeling - Nalini Singh | Sascha Duncan, Nikita Duncan, Lucas Hunter, Anthony Kyriakus | This is a request where you should not feel obligated to include all of the characters. It's essentially a request for the Duncan women and the men in their lives, but it could focus on the relationship between Sascha and Nikita, or be more focused on Lucas/Sascha or Nikita(/Anthony). I'm particularly interested in the mother-daughter bond and family ties in the PsyNet, but I would also love a story that focused on Sascha and Lucas's romance and Naya, or a story that focuses on Nikita and her relationship with Anthony (I ship them romantically, but their dynamic in general and how in sync they can be at times on the Council is really fascinating to me). | letter |
| SQ (proteinscollide) | Now You See Me (2013) | Henley Reeves, J. Daniel Atlas, Jack Wilder, Merritt McKinney | I would love a story about the dynamics and relationships between our Four Horsemen. I'm really curious about that year between their calling and the first show in Vegas. I'd love it if you show me how you think they went from being four solo acts who were kind of antagonistic to growing to trust each other enough to become the tight team that holds steady and doesn't blink as they pull of the most audacious of plans, times three. | letter |
| SQ (proteinscollide) | St Trinian's (2007 2009) | Miss Dickinson (St Trinian's), Chelsea Parker (St Trinian's), Annabelle Fritton Kelly Jones | I love the master/padawan dynamic between Kelly and Annabelle, but what really struck me the last time I rewatched the first film was that scene during the middle of the Schools Challenge where Miss Dickinson berates Chelsea when she's having a meltdown and turns it all around by telling her she *is* smart and it's sexy. *fans self* I mean, it's Lena Heady and she's all stern and passionate and...guh. So, maybe you could tell me more about Miss Dickinson, and if she and Chelsea stay in touch after they leave the school, and if so, how Miss Dickinson might continue to shape a girl like Chelsea? | letter |
| SQ (proteinscollide) | Night at the Museum (2006 2009) | Octavius (Night at the Museum), Jedediah (Night at the Museum) | I'd love something with Octavius and Jedediah at the centre, since I love the way their relationship has developed through the two movies. I mean, Octavius charges in on the scary White House squirrel to save Jedediah from death by hourglass. If that's not love, I don't know what is. :) But I also like the other museum exhibits and the mischief they get up to as well! Basically, I'm not fussy - I love museums, I love the universe, and I'd like a little more of a glimpse of it than the movies have allowed. | letter |
| SQ (proteinscollide) | Greek | Casey Cartwright, Cappie (Greek), Evan Chambers | I love this show so much with all these characters I came to love, who were all so capable of being so lovely, and equally guilty of pigheaded stupidity and mistakes. I really miss the universe, I want more stories about any of them — Casey and the ZBZ girls, Cappie and the KTs, Evan and Calvin and Dale. So if you can tell me what happened after graduation, how they stayed in touch and stayed friends and never forgot those golden years of college even as they grew up, that would be wonderful. I talked a fair bit about the show during its run in the Greek tag at my LJ if you want some story ideas (http://proteinscollide.livejournal.com/tag/greek) | letter |
| ageira | Star Wars: X-wing Series - Aaron Allston & Michael Stackpole | Derek "Hobbie" Klivian (X-wing series), Tycho Celchu (X-wing series), Wedge Antilles (X-wing series) | lash between Wedge and Tycho is preferable, if not then gen please with awesome team interactions! | letter |
| ageira | Spartacus Series (TV) | Agron (Spartacus), Nasir (Spartacus) | Goat farm? It's been overdone, but anything after series with happy ending would be awesome. | letter |
| ageira | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | Temeraire, William Laurence, Tenzing Tharkay | Metamorphosis AU. Due to some reason/magic/hormonal (up to the author) Temeraire is able to turn into a human. There's nothing more logical than to turn to Lawrence for help on this. | letter |
| ageira | The Empire Trilogy - Raymond E. Feist & Janny Wurts | Mara (The Empire Trilogy), Arakasi | I've always wanted a Papawaio/Keyoke story, so I would love a take on them and how Mara and Arakasi view them? | letter |
| ageira | Nightrunner Series - Lynn Flewelling | Seregil í Korit, Alec í Amasa, Klia a Idrilain | Post books happy ever after or AU of Klia becoming Queen and asking for their help (3some is okay in this) (Yes I know that their relationship is canon, but hey you can never have enough sex in this! :D) Um, am not usually a fan of 3somes, but some fandoms and characters just call it for it! |

| arduchess | Vampire Game | Duzell (Vampire Game), Yuujel of Zi Alda | I would love to see some competition, either magical or relationship-wise (sexual), between these two for the affections of Ishtar, Darres, or Illsaide, or just in general. | letter |
| arduchess | Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman | Science Ninja Team Gatchaman | Washio Ken | I love hurt/comfort stories and anything with one of the team being hurt or dead and the other have to comfort each other would be fantastic. Ken can be in any sexual relationship except with Jinpei (who I still see as "kid", although if you wish Jinpei could be "teenager" with a slightly older Ken and the two could have brotherly talks). Ken/Jun, Ken/Joe, Ken/Jun/Joe would all be great. Ken/Ryuu would be interesting since I haven't seen much of that pairing. As for plot, anything before, after or during a mission would be great. | letter |
| arduchess | Solar System (Anthropomorfic) | Uranus (Astronomy), Neptune (Astronomy) | I would like to see a relationship fic with Uranus and Neptune, and it can be from any planet's or sun's perspective. Please maintain their "planet"-ness, meaning I don't want to see them as "people" on a date (wearing clothes, drinking wine, that sort of thing). Please keep their orbits and moons and the whole other-worldliness of a being a planet. | letter |
| arduchess | Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time | Link (Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time) | For plot, if you could tie something magical into the story that would be perfect! Maybe a new song for the Ocarina or a new combination of spells and weapons together to make a new spell. Honestly, though, anything would be fine. For genre, I prefer angst and serious romantic dramas over comedy, my fav cliche being hurt/comfort. For relationships, I like Link with Zelda, Sheik, or Dark Link. | letter |
| ardust_swallow | So You Think You Can Dance RPF | Witney Carson, Lindsay Arnold | They were so cute and bubbly and talented and I loved every second that we saw the two of them interacting. I don't think it would take much to make them go from friends to a couple. Something set while they're competing against each other would be nice, or now that they're off the show and have their own careers, or something with Witney being an all-star... | letter |
| ardust_swallow | Cold Case | Billie Ducette, Rose Collins | 1930s bootlegging lesbians! Feel free to write an AU where the escape goes differently, or something before it all went downhill. I don't want something that focuses on Rose's grief. | letter |
| ardust_swallow | The Fosters (TV 2013) | Stef Foster, Lena Adams | These two are two of the most stable and kind-hearted parents I have seen on television. They love their children, and would do anything for them. For this though, I'd prefer less about the children, and more something focused on them as a couple, either set in the past or in the present, or even something in the future when they've grown old and gray together. | letter |
| ardust_swallow | Greek | Casey Cartwright, Ashleigh Howard | I really feel like their friendship would be easily translated to a relationship, with just a few steps inward. I'd be interested to read how they navigate being LGBT and in a sorority, or something set after they get out of college and are in the real world. | letter |
| ardust_swallow | New Girl | Cece Parekh, Jessica Day (New Girl) | I love their friendship, which is a recurring theme in this letter. They can turn to each other for just about anything, and I would love to see an instance where that turning to each other becomes something more intimate. | letter |
| ardust_swallow | Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin | Mary Anne Spier | I have a deep desire to read some Mary Anne femslash. In rough order of preference, I'd love to see her with Dawn, Kristy, Vanessa or Mallory. But if none of those strike your fancy, then any of the sitters or older clients. I just really want to see something set in the future, when they're all grown up. | letter |

| arlady | Europa Report (2013) | Dr. Samantha Unger, Rosa Dasque, Dr. Katya Petrovna | I really, really, really loved this movie when it came out, and I really loved the female characters and how real and how awesome they were. Anything featuring any of these three, separately or together, pre- or post- or in-movie, would be awesome. I'm particularly interested in the story of what happens to Samantha Unger after the Europa report is released, but please go wherever your own spirit of discovery takes you. Post tenebras, lux. | letter |
| arlady | Gate 7 | Tachibana (Gate 7), Date Masamune (Gate 7), Takamoto Chikahito, Hana (Gate 7) | Oh, this fandom. Basically I want fic about the moment when Chikahito realizes he's completely in love with Hana, regardless of hir gender. Or about Chikahito learning to adjust to Kyoto (the real Kyoto, not the one in his head), or the epic kink that is Date's relationship with his oni, whatever is cool. Or about Tachibana getting it on with basically everyone, apparently. I love this manga so much, between the prettiness and the fact that it's set in Kyoto and the fact that it's about revived warlords from the late middle ages dueling it out for the strongest power in the world!...or something. I have to admit that I would totally not mind a PWP fic in this fandom, because as far as I can tell the kink practically leaps off the page, with just about every character, though I do find the emotional heart of the story so far to be Chikahito and Hana's connection, and I'd love to see something exploring their relationship. Um. Am I being helpful at all? Anything at all would be awesome, that's all I'm saying. |
letter |
| arlady | Ooku: The Inner Chambers | I'm interested in anything you would want to write, dear author, but the straightwashing of actual history in the manga, and the fact that only heterosexual relationships are depicted unambiguously in the actual story, is starting to annoy me. I'd really like a story about actually lesbian lady officials of the shogunate, or Edo townspeople, or at any level of society, really--kabuki actors or whatever are great too! | letter | |
| arlady | Space Vehicles | Voyager 1 (Space Vehicles), Voyager 2 (Space Vehicles) | I put the Voyager crafts in the character lists because I am embarrassingly attached to them, and the thought of both of them going bravely into the dark alone gives me a lot of feels, so I'd love a story about either or both of them, either their present or their future, real or imagined. But I'd also love a story about any of the characters in this fandom. The robots we've sent out to explore for us are pretty great. | letter |

| arseverywhere | The Rosie Project - Graeme Simsion | This book made me laugh more than I have in a long time, the humour and the matter of factness of it was so perfect, not least because I was made to read the book because my sister saw so much of me in Don. The standardised meal plan does have an awful lot to recommend it! I'd love to see more in this universe, what do Rosie and Don get up to next? How does he deal with the chaos of raising children? Tell me more about a failed experiment in the vein of the infamous ice cream tasting project, what are the ideal qualities in a jacket or for that matter a pair of shoes? |

| arseverywhere | White House Down (2013) | James Sawyer, John Cale | I saw this movie the day nominations closed and am so so glad that I made it back from the cinema in time to get a nomination in. What I'd really love to see here is post-movie fic, be it the next morning and how everyone's coping, the next week and how the rebuilding is starting, the next month and the lasting repercussions or 10 years down the line and how Cale and Sawyer's lives evolved. Slash more than welcome here. | letter |
| arseverywhere | Olympus Has Fallen (2013) | There is a theme going on with these requests in the sense that what I'm really interested in is the fallout and the rebuilding. I've picked any here because I'd be thrilled with anything. I'd love to see something with Ruth and Lynn being badasses, how Connor is affected, do Banning and Asher reconcile permanently? What are the wider geopolitical implications? Slash more than welcome here. | letter | |
| aypainted | The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) | Jason Glanton, A. J. Cross | I really love their relationship - it was like the one thing that wasn't messed up for them, until it was. I'd love to see some fallout from the events at the end of the movie, just them dealing with it all. Maybe one of them's getting clean? Maybe they see each other a few years down the track, or A.J. tracks Jason down? Whatever you want to write, I'd be good with. Romantic or gen is fine! |
letter |
| aypainted | Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater | Ronan Lynch, Joseph Kavinsky | Ronan is hands down my favourite character. Kavinsky is crazy in a way that was really good for me. I'd love something that explores their relationship, the why of it all - what's Kavinsky's deal? I mean, I wouldn't say no to some porn featuring the two of them, but I'd want it to focus on how messed up & heavy their relationship all is. see letter for more spoiler-y talk! |
letter |
| aypainted | Emelan - Tamora Pierce | Evumeimei Dingzai | Evvy! I would honestly be okay with anything starring her. Her childhood! Scenes from her travels with Briar & Rosethorne! How she copes with the events in Battle Magic! Her life after Melting Stones! Anything! |
letter |
| aypainted | Old Kingdom - Garth Nix | Lirael (Old Kingdom) | Lirael is my absolute favourite. I'd love future fic for her: what now? What's Lirael going to do (apart from be awesome)? How's she fitting in with her new-found family? How's she coping without Dog? Really, anything would be wonderful. |
letter |
| Steelneko | Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai | Anjou Naruko, Honma Meiko, Yadomi Jinta | Naruko was my favourite character in the show, and I'd love some exploration of her friendship with Menma and/or nice things happening to her. Adorable childhood adventures with the both of them? Something post-series about how she's changed? How everyone would be different if Menma hadn't died? Silly Nokémon fun? I've listed Jinta as a character, but you can choose whether you want to include him or not. Please don't write anything too tragic for this fandom; I don't want to be sad on Christmas. For more details, please see my letter. |
letter |
| Steelneko | Brave (2012) | Merida (Brave (2012)) | I'd love a story that focuses on Merida. How has her relationship with her mother changed after the movie? What are clan politics like now that no one has to get betrothed? What other magical things does she run into? How would she react to meeting her sparkly makeover doppelganger? For more details, please see my letter. |
letter |
| Steelneko | Code Name: Sailor V | Aino Minako | Sailor V, Artemis (Sailor V) | Magical girl adventures! I'd love to see Minako getting up to something fun, either in-costume as Sailor V or out of costume as herself. I would prefer a story that sticks more to Sailor V canon/enemies/supporting cast/situations than Sailor Moon ones. For more details, please see my letter. |
letter |
| Steelneko | Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | Sakura Kyouko | I love Kyoko as a character, and it'd be great to get a story about her life before we meet her in PMMM. What was she like as a regular kid, a new magical girl, or somewhere after her family tragedy but before she appears in the show? Please don't write anything too tragic for this fandom; I don't want to be sad on Christmas. For more details, please see my letter. |
letter |
| Steelneko | The Thrilling Adventure Hour | Sadie Doyle, Frank Doyle | I'd love to see Frank & Sadie dealing with the supernatural together. What new mysterious thing do they have to deal with this week? What happens if they ever run out of liquor? Feel free to make them as shippy as you'd like. Crossovers with other TAH segments are welcome. For more details, please see my letter. |
letter |
| llar_dust | The World's End (2013) | Gary King | As soon as I left the theatre I wanted to know what happened to Blank! Gary. Old Gary stole his friends and his life! I'd like to see Blank! Gary find the contentment that always eluded human! Gary. Bonus if it's with human! Andy. Extra bonus if human!Gary manages to find some peace as well. Only listing one character cuz I don't want to constrain you too much. Yay!! | |
| llar_dust | Boston Legal | Alan Shore, Denny Crane | I'd love some post-series married fic, with Alan and Denny living beautiful amazing real lives and loving each other forever. <3. Fluff, angst, humor, gen, slash-it's all good as long as it's them. | |
| llar_dust | Lil Bub | Dude | Mike Bridavsky, Bub (Lil Bub) | I can't imagine not loving anything you write for this! BUB hangin out with her dude and her friendz. It might be fun to go visit BUB UB BUB. (Try not to kill BUB though, that would be too sad for yuletide.) | |
| llar_dust | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Jennifer Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | isterly bonding road trip? saving people, hunting things? | |
| Steph | Lizzie Bennet Diaries | Lizzie Bennet, William Darcy (LBD) | I want something with lots of sexual tension between the two of them! Or maybe a cute story about after they get together. Or you could show us one of the scenes between them that Lizzie described on her vlog, like when Darcy and Gigi took her out exploring. | letter |
| Steph | Queer as Folk (UK) | Stuart Alan Jones, Vince Tyler | tuart/Vince or gen, please. I love stories where Stuart reveals his fondness, affection and protectiveness for Vince, but in his typical, rude, bastard Stuart way. Could be pre-, during or post-canon. If nothing else, I just want to see Stuart and Vince interacting again. Because it's QAFUK, Stuart/OMC and Vince/OMC (or Cameron) are fine, as long as the focus is on Stuart and Vince being bffs and/or made for each other. |
letter |
| Steph | Sports Night | Dan Rydell, Casey McCall, Natalie Hurley, Jeremy Goodwin | Lots of SN banter, maybe a sports story of the week to revolve the plot around. I love soccer as much as Dan hates it, so if you could include soccer in there somehow, that would be amazing! Dan/Casey slash or gen is great. I always love seeing Natalie be the HBIC that we all know she is. In fact, if you just wanted to write me awesome Natalie-centric gen (or Natalie/Jeremy), that would also be amazing! | letter |
| Steph | You Belong With Me - University of Rochester Yellowjackets (Music Video) | Glasses Guy (You Belong With Me), Jock Guy (You Belong With Me) | Adorable teenage boys being awkward and having crushes and feelings and the horribleness of the high school hierarchy. If you want to expand on the video, that would be awesome. Add some plot maybe, explain what's going on. Please don't make girlfriend evil though. | letter |
| Steph | World War Z (2013) | Segen (World War Z), Gerry Lane | Anything about her life before the movie, her family, about how she helps rebuild society afterwards. Maybe we could get a look into the process of coming back from a zombie apocalypse and how that would work. Does she get some kind of reward for her work with Gerry? Does she become famous? Could be gen, femmeslash, het, I don't care - though please don't put her with Gerry. I don't like adultery. | letter |
| pquietly | Go Goa Gone | Luna (Go Goa Gone), Luv (Go Goa Gone), Hardik (Go Goa Gone), Bunny (Go Goa Gone) | My prompt is anything to do with the four of these guys. As general ideas (and feel free to take or leave these), I'd be happy to read a follow on to the storyline from where it ended (with Boris), a fic where Luv, Hardik and Bunny meet and get a flat together, a fic which focuses on Luna being badass (I LOVE HER SO; this would be so good for me!), AUs in which they meet themselves from the future (like Terminator or Loopers trying to alter the past. Luna as female looper, ugh, I love it), monologues, end of the world gangbang sex, just hilarious diary excerpts by Bunny, letters home to their families... I would love any and all of this! Or even stuff outside of this! | letter |
| pquietly | Jab We Met (2007) | Anshuman (Jab We Met), Geet's cousin #1, Geet's cousin #2 | My prompt is pretty much anything to do with Anshuman. I'd be happy to read a character study/ monologue, alternate universe fic (what if Anshuman was the one that tried to elope), what happens after he returns home fic, crack!fic (I would LOVE a fic in which Anshuman hooks up with the two cousins that forcibly bathe him and drag him out to the fields with them. It would just be so adorable and ridiculous if he eventually ended up in Bhatinda as part of Geet's family in a way they never quite expected. The patriarch looking between the three of them and thinking "I know what's between this lot." Also, sexy threesomes in ganne ke kheth? DOWN WITH THIS, OH YES.) In short, I'd love anything that lets Anshuman be the center of his own story. | letter |
| pquietly | Father Ted | Ted Crilly, Mrs. Doyle, Dougal McGuire, Pat Mustard | I would really prefer that if you write me a fic in this fandom, it not involve Dougal and Ted hooking up. Dougal is just such a child mentally that I don't know that I could handle it given the fact that Ted is clearly set in place as a father figure. But I leave this to your discretion; it's just a personal preference. I'd love any fic that focuses on a day in the life of Mrs Doyle! MRS DOYLE, I LOVE YOU SO! Or perhaps a fic about the return of Pat Mustard! Or a fic in which there are shenanigans with Ted and Dougal! Dougal's inner monologues - a fic with Dougal receiving the gift of a Hello Kitty-esque diary and taking to writing down things that Ted says, or his own thoughts! Pat Mustard's POV from Speed 3. You name it, I'm here for it! | letter |
| pquietly | The Passion of New Eve - Angela Carter | Tristessa (The Passion of New Eve), Evelyn | Eve (The Passion of New Eve) | My ideal fic is probably a story that centres on Tristessa and on her exploration of self, her notoriety, her eventual capture and isolation, her meeting of Eve/Evelyn. It wouldn't be an easy fic to write by any standards but oh, the possibilities of it! Beyond that, I'd love a fic that engages with their sex scene more, that explores their dynamic in the books. I'd LOVE an AU where they meet in an academic department (Gender Studies? Film? Your choice!) or any AU of your choice. I'd even love a fic that deals with how Eve eventually has to explain h/er time with Tristessa to their child. Again, this is an incredibly hard fandom to write for and I'd happily accept anything you'd give me and likely worship you as a god for it. | letter |

| ockingsandseams | Candle Cove | Deliciously creepy horror about either the television show Candle Cove (ie the children who watched it, the people who made it, the things it does to the audience, the rumours of a mysterious 'lost episode' which was never aired) or the world of Candle Cove (with no reference to the children's TV angle). No explicit gore please, but the rising dread from horrible implications is my favourite part of the canon. Original characters welcome! | letter | |
| ockingsandseams | Corruption of Champions | Urta (Corruption of Champions) | I would be equally happy with fic about Amily, The Gargoyle, Ro'Gar, Whitney, Essrayle, The Champion and/or Marble if you would rather write about one of those, but I also really like Urta's story - how she starts off so dominant in her role as guard but so insecure about her body and then becomes much more secure in herself and starts to show off. Any sort of weird, canon-typical porn is great; I really love the scope for all the different sorts of adventures you can have in the Demon Realm so I'm also open to fic which expands on any of the conflicts between different groups in canon, anything about quests and how the game uses kinkiness to explore important character beats. | letter |
| ockingsandseams | Defendor (2009) | I'd love post-canon fic about Ellen and/or Kat dealing with Arthur's death, particularly about Ellen's relationship with her child and how Kat finally makes herself into Arthur's Lois Lane/John Burne, or more details on Kat and Arthur's 'I love you' at the end. Fic which explored more about how Arthur became Defendor would be great, I'd love to read about Kat building a new life for herself, and I've always thought that the wasp at the end while Kat is writing means that she is continuing Defendor's legacy in some way - not necessarily as a vigilante, but by keeping some of the things she connected with Arthur/Defendor around her. I found Ellen's mix of respect and general weirded-outness to be hilarious and wonderful, and would love to know what she had told her daughter about Defendor or how she reacted to the news of Arthur's death. More details about Kat/Arthur's relationship would be fantastic, how they move from not trusting one another at all to becoming so close, and I'd love something about how Arthur keeps trying to play these superhero tropes straight in a world which just does not want to let him get away with it. I think it'd be fascinating to see how Arthur's life would have been different if he had latched on to a genre other than superhero comics if you wanted to write an AU, but I wouldn't want an AU where Arthur actually has powers of some sort. |
letter | |
| ockingsandseams | Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated (TV 2010) | Angel Dynamite | Cassidy Williams | For this fandom, I would be just as delighted to get fic about Velma and/or Marcie. Anything which dealt with Cassidy's different codenames and lies and how she reinvents herself. I'd like to know more about what Cassidy did after leaving Crystal Cove, how she became a freaking ninja spy, and I love how she positions herself as a mentor to the gang. Anything which went into more detail about her relationship with Mr E, Velma (since they both keep Cassidy's secret from the others) and Fred (who hides out at her studio when he feels upset) would be great, especially with that sense of divided loyalties all her relationships have, and anything about those moments of conflict would be great. Fic about her mentoring members of the gang in some way (after all, Velma and Marcie had to learn their spy tricks from somewhere) would also be really cool if you're more interested in the friendly/benevolent mentor side as well - I love that about Cassidy, how she seems to be so many things at once, and even though I never doubt that she really does want what's best for the Mystery Inc gang she's still prepared to do some fairly creepy things (bugging Velma!) to protect them. |
letter |
| ockingsandseams | Snark Busters series | I'd love to see more wacky adventures exploring the effects of the mirror worlds for any combination of characters - will they ever be able to meet one another in the other world? Does anyone ever catch the Snark? How do their families and loved ones react? - but I would equally love reading about the club itself. Are there are any ceremonies or meetings? Do they experiment with these other worlds, and if so, how? What sorts of adventures will they go on to have with the backing of the rest of the club behind them, and how had they come to their attention in the first place? I'd also really love to see any combination of these characters, or Original Characters if that's what floats your boat, talking to one another about their adventures over tea - I'm a sucker for the sorts of stories where something completely normal is used to talk matter-of-factly about the strangest things. | letter | |
| Stonestrewn | The Transformers (IDW Generation One) | Whirl (IDW Generation One), Rung (IDW Generation One) | I love these two so much, and I really want to see more of their relationship which has been mentioned rather than showed in the comic and I'm craving fic about how Whirl came to consider Rung a friend and how their dynamic works. The respect Rung shows towards his patients and the fact that there is a lot of space to explore mental illness in an insightful and empathetic way through him and his patients is something that i'm really invested in. I'm partial to Wirl POV however, just because we so rarely get to see it, although I won't have any objections to something seen through Rung's eyes. I do ship this incredibly hard, so romantic elements are just as fine as something putely platonic. | letter |
| Stonestrewn | Amnesia: The Dark Descent | Alexander of Brennenburg | o a friend of mine has this headcanon that Brennenburg Castle is actually an extension of Alexander's being, the building is his body just as much as his human form, and I think this idea is absolutely wonderful and have adopted it. It would explain the strange, sprawling layout of the place and the way the place rumbles and moans and very much feels like you're travelling through a leaving creature through the game. I would absolutely love to see a fic exploring this theme and playing around with how Alexander would experience the world through it. I realize that this is a very specific idea and will be honestly be thrilled over just about anything exploring Alexander's character and how he percieves this dimension in whatever form he takes. | letter |
| Stonestrewn | Portal (Video Game) | GLaDOS | I'd love some character study here, some GLaDOS/testing, some looking into what it's been like to be her over all these year. Some future fic would be amazing, too. How does her perceptions change after Chell? | letter |
| Stonestrewn | Emma - A Victorian Romance | Adele (Emma - A Victorian Romance), Maria (Emma - A Victorian Romance) | I am incredibly fond of both Adele and Maria and I just want to see more of their relationship, especially getting a glimpse of where the two of them go in the future. Do they drift apart and out of each other's lives? Do they move away but keep in touch through letters? Do they stay employed together? Do they move in together? Are they lovers? Friends? Not-quite-either? I'd love to find out, though just seeing more of their lives off-panel over the course of the manga would be terrific also. | letter |
| oriesfortravellers | Deception (TV) | Edward Bowers | I imagine Edward as being smart, not easy to back into a corner, complicated, with a moral compass but some moral failings too, and with an off sense of humor, since that's the way I see him on the show. Slash with Ben or an OMC is cool too, and so is gen fic about his relationship with his brother Julian. Fic about Joanna and Vivian's friendship (or femslash) is just as great. So is imagining how Season 2 might go, or anything that deals with the show's unanswered questions. Joanna and Edward teaming up to take down his father or some other baddie is great too. |
letter |
| oriesfortravellers | Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk - Ben Fountain | Billy Lynn, David Dime | Friendship fic or slash would both be great - I really like how Dime sees something in Billy and Billy just adores Dime. One of them being a moral compass for the other might be interesting, or maybe just a fic about dealing with things after the events of the book, or if slash, how they got together - these are just options, since I'd be very happy with anything about their relationship. Or maybe what it's like when the group all sees the movie made about them. | letter |
| oriesfortravellers | The Unit | Mack Gerhardt | Would love gen friendship fic or slash with Mack/or&Jonas or Mack/or&Charles or Mack/or&Gael or Jonas/or&Charles. Equally cool would be one of the Unit's perspectives on the others' wives or relationships. | letter |
| oriesfortravellers | Liberació | Liberation - Lluïsa Cunillé | Woman 1, Woman 2 | I'd really like anything that imagines these women's backstories. Also, any AU in a different setting would be great too. | letter |
| orm_queen | Top of the Lake | I have a LOT of thoughts on this canon. Please see letter if you want badly-articulated details. If not, know that I would love any of the nominated characters, but prefer not to see too much of Matt if possible. |
letter | |
| orm_queen | Poetry RPF | Sappho (fl. 600 BC) (Poetry RPF) | ome incoherent flailing available at my journal if you're interested! Otherwise, know that anything Sappho will make me thrilled. |
letter |
| orm_queen | Jolene (Song) - Dolly Parton | o many options for what to do with this song. I'm partial to anything queer, but I will also take anything that deals with the Jolene fixation going on. More thoughts available at my DYW letter. |
letter | |
| orm_queen | Sesame Street (TV) | 1970s-1990s Sesame Street is great, but I'd prefer to stick to old school muppets (like the ones nominated.) More muppet love at my DYW letter. |
letter | |
| orm_queen | Some Like It Hot (1959) | I love Sugar Kane and I love everything genderbending. Daphne/Osgood is absolutely adored. Anything Jerry | Daphne is adored, come to think of it. Please visit my DYW letter for additional bits of love. |
letter | |
| orm_queen | Dead Poets Society (1989) | Charlie Dalton | OH THIS MOVIE. Basically you could write me any Charlie fic in the world and I would be happy. I'm happy shipping Charlie with any of the nominated characters, but my OTP is Charlie/his own ego. If you want to hear my TMI, please visit my DYW letter. |
letter |
| raightforwardly | Gone Home | Kaitlin "Katie" Greenbriar, Sam Greenbriar | One of the things I liked about the game was how, despite the fact we never actually see Katie and Sam interact, it was very clear that they were very close to one another. I'd like to see more of their relationship, whether it's Katie finding Sam in the future, or something from before Katie went abroad. More details are in the letter, but I will say one more thing here: please, please, PLEASE have Katie accepting of Sam's sexuality. The game gave me the impression that Sam thought Katie knew and understood, and I like that version of events best. |
letter |
| raightforwardly | My dear don't be afraid of me - Hellobaby | God of Fire (My dear don't be afraid of me), Queen of Ice (My dear don't be afraid of me) | Link to the artwork (plus more details) are in my letter, since I doubt this is what we matched on. Essentially, I'd like to see their romance. If you want to address the possible imbalances in their relationship (i.e Fire/Ice, God/Queen), feel free, but I would like the Queen of Ice to have her own autonomy, and for there to be genuine love and affection between them. If you can avoid giving them names, that would be lovely, but don't get too stressed if that's not possible. |
letter |
| raightforwardly | Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai | Anjou Naruko, Matsuyuki Atsumu | Anaru was my absolute favorite character in this anime, so almost anything about her would make me happy, as long as it's not Jinta/Anaru. I shipped her pretty hard with Yukiatsu, which is why I also requested him. However, I would be all over their friendship if that appeals to you more. I also kind of found myself intrigued by the idea of Poppo/Anaru, so if you'd prefer to write that, be my guest. More details in my letter. Note: I didn't like Jinta, so please try to avoid having him play too large of a role in the story. |
letter |
| raightforwardly | The Immortals - Tamora Pierce | Veralidaine Sarrasri (Immortals) | Daine is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time, so nearly anything about her would make me happy. There will be more details in my letter, but essentially I love how she grows throughout the series, particularly in regard to her prejudices. I realize the following characters weren't nominated, so you definitely don't need to include them, but if you want more inspiration, I'd love to see more of her relationship with Rikash. I ship them very hard, but I'd be equally delighted with friendship. I also ship Kaddar/Daine, if that's more to your liking. Friendship fic with Maura would also be delightful. I haven't read past the Immortals in the Tortall timeline, so please don't include anything past them. Again, more details are included in my letter. |
letter |
| StringedVictory | Girl Genius | Gilgamesh Wulfenbach, Agatha Heterodyne, Tarvek Sturmvoraus | Agatha/Gil/Tarvek! Smut is great; so is nonsmut. Body-swapping would be especially great. Feel free to include other characters in the story (though not in the ship) too. | |
| StringedVictory | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Death (Discworld), Susan Sto Helit | omething exploring the very odd but very sweet familial bond between Death and his granddaughter. Can be at any point in Susan's life. | |
| StringedVictory | Majo no Takkyuubin | Kiki's Delivery Service | Kiki (Majo no Takkyuubin), Osono (Majo no Takyuubin) | What does Kiki's life look like after her apprenticeship is over? She might stay in touch with Osono and her family. | |
| StringedVictory | The Immortals - Tamora Pierce | Numair Salmalín (Immortals), Veralidaine Sarrasri (Immortals) | Daine/Numair. Smut; non-smut; family scenes; it's all good. | |
| StringedVictory | Dogma (1999) | Metatron (Dogma), Serendipity (Dogma) | Immortals (especially Metatron and Serendipity) interacting with mortals, at any point in history. | |
| rippedhalo | Macdonald Hall - Gordon Korman | Boots O'Neal, Bruno Walton | Bruno and Boots forever! I love them when they are boyfriends, and I love them when they are platonic life partners, and I love them I love them I love them. | letter |
| rippedhalo | Terminator (Movies) | Kyle Reese (Terminator (Movies)), Marcus Wright | I would like something hopeful. Fix-it fic for Terminator Salvation, or set earlier during the movie's timeline, or whatever you want, really, just... hopeful. If you want to make them friends, or give them a protective sibling-type relationship, or a romantic one, it's all good with me. | letter |
| rippedhalo | Practical Magic (1998) | Owens women! I would love something witchy and magical and impish and fun. Tell me about their hair! | letter | |
| rippedhalo | Drake & Josh | Drake Parker (Drake & Josh), Josh Nichols | Drake and Josh forever! Future fic would be lovely, but in-series is also great. Something light and fun/crazy in the spirit of Drake and Josh would be amazing (but a touch of angst is also fine). Again, romantic pairing or best brothas are both awesome. | letter |

| _aurafina | Death By Silver - Amy Griswold and Melissa Scott | Miss Frost (Death By Silver), Ned Mathey, Julian Lynes | Anything about these characters would be awesome - gen, slash, casefic, cosy at home fic. There's more details in my Dear Author letter. | letter |
| _aurafina | Dance Academy | Kat Karamakov, Grace Whitney, Lucinda Raine, Ollie Lloyd | I wanted to nominate more characters for this request - I'm truly happy with anything from this fandom, even the characters I didn't mention in my letter. (My letter was getting very long!) | letter |
| _aurafina | Zodiac Cycle - Julie Dillon | Sagittarius (Painting), Pisces (Painting), Libra (Painting), Leo (Painting) | Obviously I can't nominate all twelve characters, but I'd like to! Anything about these amazing works of art - world building, character stories, cross-overs between months - would be amazing. More details at my letter. | letter |
| _aurafina | Blood Ties | Mike Cellusci (Blood Ties), Henry Fitzroy (Blood Ties), Vicki Nelson (Blood Ties), Coreen Fennel | Yay, Canadian vampires! I'm mostly all about Mike and Henry and Vicki, but I do love Coreen and goth lifestyle, so if she's your personal favourite, then I'd love to read about her too. More details in my letter. | letter |
| _aurafina | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Jemma Simmons | Gosh, I didn't know I could nominate Maria Hill! I didn't put her in my letter, but I do adore her and can ship her with all the women in this series. That doesn't mean I don't like the guys - they only give me four places, damn! - so please feel free to include them. I don't get much of a het vibe from this show, so if femslash or slash isn't your thing, then I'm happy with fun gen adventures on the flying bus. |
letter |
| _aurafina | The Faraway Tree - Enid Blyton | Silky (Faraway Tree), Saucepan Man (Faraway Tree), Moon-Face, Mister Watzisname | Moonface and Silky and Watzisname! I forgot how freaky these characters are! I know something really scary was going on behind the scenes in these books. There's something Lovecraftian about it. If you've always thought as much, I would love to see future fic that explains it all. Alternatively, straight-up kids fantasy in brightly coloured dream worlds is equally welcomed. |

| Subarukun | Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu | Legend of the Galactic Heroes | Reinhard von Lohengramm, Yang Wenli | gen, slash or het, I do enjoy the canon pairings, but I also ship this character in different non-canon pairings like Siegfried/Reinhard and Schenkopp/Yang and probably most combinations other people have already thought up. I haven't seen it done yet, but if you want to go in a shippy direction with Reinhard and yang, that would be very interesting. I regret that these characters didn't meet directly more often and for longer than that one talk. So anything that gives them a deeper insight into each other's characters or something that gives them some reason to interact, meet or even fight side by side for once would be greatly appreciated. |
letter |
| Subarukun | Ludwig II - You Higuri | Richard Hornig (Ludwig II), Ludwig II of Bavaria (Ludwig II) | Well, the character choice is pretty obvious, I think, as they are the main canon m/m pairing. So of course shippy fic and bedroom scenes and sex are more than welcome. But I'd also be interested in some more "day to day" stories, focusing on their lives and how their relationship developed over the years, maybe some little moments we didn't get to see in the manga. If you want to weave in some historical facts, I'd love that, too. | letter |
| Subarukun | Arslan Senki | Heroic Legend of Arslan | I love the epicness of the world and strategy involved in freeing Pars. I also love the complicated back stories of all the characters I've nominated all of these characters and I'm okay with fic about any of them on their own or together. Fic set before the events of the anime adaption/novels would be very interesting. Also character studies. Gen, slash or het is all fine. I ship Arslan/Daryoon, Farangis/Gieve, but you can disregard this. |
letter | |
| Subarukun | Tokyo Babylon | Sumeragi Subaru, Sakurazuka Seishirou | Again the character choice says it all. I'm up for a manga style adventure with Subaru on a case and Seishirou being the friendly vet friend, who only steps in when something makes him show his darker side. Or an exploration of the twisted relationship they have. Feel free to go a bit darker here. | letter |
| Subarukun | Kaze no tairiku | Weathering Continent | Tieh (Kaze no Tairiku) | Gen, slash or het. Whatever strikes your fancy. This character has so much magic and I'd like to see him use it or deal with the consequences of being set apart by his magic/upbringing. | letter |
| Subarukun | Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna | Narumi Ayumu | lash, het or gen is fine. Fic based on anime or manga version is fine. I ship him with Hiyono and/or Eyes. I really always loved the case solving so very much, so things that have him solving riddles would be great. Also I'd love any time of "aftermath" stories set after the end of the anime or after all the revelations at the end of the manga. For the manga exploration if his relationship with Hiyono after everything has come to light would be great. |
letter |
| ito | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman, Hank Schrader | Fic about Hank and Jesse together. | letter |
| ito | MythBusters RPF | Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters) | I would love to read something about a young(er) Jamie. | letter |
| ito | The Tomorrow People (2013) | Jedikiah Price (Tomorrow People 2013), John Young | ome backstory on the relationship between Jed and John. | letter |
| ito | The Goodies (TV) | Tim Brooke-Taylor (Goodies), Graeme Garden (Goodies) | Tim/Graeme slash would melt my brain (in a good way) but I'm also up for any Goodies silliness you want to throw my way. | letter |
| junctive | 몬스타 | Monstar (TV) | Kim Na Na (Monstar), Jung Sun Woo | ♥ THESE TWO! ♥ Friendship or het (though I prefer the latter), dark or light, any rating, either POV: anything is welcome. Since she comes from a gangster family and he's apparently quite wealthy, it would be great to explore their class issues/conflicts (especially since I imagine she saw him as kind of an "escape” from her life). Other ideas: "ten years later,” being assigned to each other as study buddies/project partners (the jjak theme), her interest in fashion, and/or the use of her final date coupons. Other characters from the series welcome. | letter |
| junctive | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Marcus Bell | I have a major soft spot for Bell/Watson. Feel free to go gen or het, PG- or X-rated, getting-together or established-relationship, casefic or character study, according to your tastes. I especially want to know more about Bell — why is he a cop? What is his family/background/history like? What does he think of his job? How does he balance his personal life with his job (or does he)? Maybe they have to work on a case together without Sherlock because he's indisposed, maybe Sherlock senses their mutual attraction and tries to set them up, maybe one of them gets injured and the other takes care of them and they get to know each other better. I'd like to see more of Watson's family, too, if possible. | letter |
| junctive | The Unusuals | Allison Beaumont, Henry Cole | I'd like to see Cole stop running from his past, maybe with help from Allison. I really like their dynamic together and how fond of each other they are, how they take care of each other. But while I think refusing to face up to his past is a mistake, I admire his religious commitment and the changes he's made to himself and don't want to see those disappear. Any backstory about Navan and/or Frank would be welcome as well. | letter |
| junctive | Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (TV) | Cyrus (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland), Alice (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland) | I'd like to see some of Cyrus's and Alice's adventures and the development of their relationship. Feel free to play with the worldbuilding, other fairy tales, etc as per your interests - I love twisted fairytales and fairytale reinterpretations (obviously!). If you want to go darker, you might look at their relationship through the lens of Alice's memories during her stay in the asylum. I'd love some adventuring and exploration, and/or some fleshing out of their characters and personalities. | letter |
| junctive | Little Mosque on the Prairie | Sarah Hamoudi, Yasir Hamoudi | I'd like to see Sarah and Yasir get back together somehow. Maybe Yasir decides to come back to Mercy for a silly made-up reason, maybe he finds excuses to delay (meaning keep working on) a job that keeps him in touch with Sarah, maybe they start seeing each other but sneak around so as not to get Rayyan's hopes up or because it's more exciting that way. Alternatively (or additionally), I'd also like to know more about their backstory — how did they meet? How did Sarah decide to convert and what was it like? I love stories about people traveling together, too, and it sounds like they did some of that. Feel free to include any other resident of Mercy, especially if they're meddling. | letter |

Ships: Tom/the Perfectionist, Mr. Breakfast/Terry Cloth There are a lot of things I would love to see in this fandom- expansion of any of the minor characters would be amazing or a slice-of-life story about Tom and the Perfectionist while they were dating or anything about Mr. Breakfast and Terry Cloth.

I requested Duke because he is my fave but I would love anything that also included the other characters, especially Nathan and Audrey. Casefic is always good (all the tropes!), as is friendship or found family fic or roadtrip fic. Anything about Duke would be great as well, including pre-series fic or Duke and Dwight being forced to work together, and anything focusing on Nathan and Duke's relationship would always be wonderful (whether gen, Nathan/Duke or OT3).

Ships: Max/Isaac, Isabel/Suzy, Suzy/Collin, Suzy/Dimitri, Violet/Lisa. If you want to write shippy fic I would prefer the characters be aged up. If not, gen would be amazing. I love all the characters to bits and pieces so I'd love fic about anyone or an ensemble piece. School field trips, Club Day, the faculty office at lunch, I would love to read it all.

I'd love a lot things, but especially gen teamfic. Anything set on one of the universes they visit would be amazing, or anything set in/around their galactic adventures in the Instagram panel would be wonderful. Fic about the Vol 1 team vs the Vol 2 team, whether it's traditions that carry over or the new members trying to find their place. Anything about Kate and her relationships with Noh-Varr, Tommy, Eli or Clint. America backstory. Anything about what's up with Eli. The possibilities are endless. Please see my letter for more prompts: http://faithgrowsold.livejournal.com/97336.html |

| ch_heights | Ulysses Dies at Dawn (Album) | Ulysses (Ulysses Dies at Dawn), Ashes O'Reilly | Hades | I'd love absolutely anything set in the world of this album, and I do particularly like Ulysses. Something about them and Penelope, perhaps, in happier times? Alternatively or additionally, a story about what the Mechanisms were up to would be fab - more about O'Reilly's stint as Hades, or the Tin Soldier's adventures as a nymph, or anything else that takes your fancy. |
letter |
| ch_heights | As You Like It - Shakespeare | Rosalind | Ganymede (As You Like It), Celia | Aliena (As You Like It), Orlando de Boys (As You Like It) | I love these ridiculous kids v. much - Rosalind & Celia's bffery, Rosalind & Orlando's queer courtship, the whole thing. Bless their faces. A story about any one of them would be lovely! Something about Rosalind and Celia growing up together, or all of them after the events of the play. I would also love anything about Rosalind falling under the trans/genderqueer umbrella - how did they feel about being Ganymede, were they sad to give him up, etc. Sexy genderplay adventures with Orlando are great, talking to Celia about it is great, as is a more general character study. |
letter |
| ch_heights | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | Joooooaaannnn! Sherloooock! I LOVE THEM. Gen for this one, please, though if you want to ship either of them with any other character from the show that's totally fine. I'd love anything about the two of them hanging out - casefic, a rainy Sunday, one of them agreeing to do something the other one loves and the shenanigans that ensue. Or an AU maybe! HOLMES AND WATSON IN SPAAAACE. Or, idk, Joan's a majestic unicorn and Sherlock's a grumpy centaur. LET YOUR IMAGINATION ROAM FREE is what I'm saying. Clyde gets bonus points. :D |
letter |
| ch_heights | Brave (2012) | Merida (Brave (2012)), Elinor (Brave) | All the mother-daughter feelings! Any fic about Merida and/or Elinor would delight me. Some totally optional prompts: + Merida taking a renewed interest in learning how to be a leader now she and Elinor understand each other better. + The two of them having more adventures and Merida teaching Elinor more things. + Merida deciding on her own terms whether or not she thinks she wants to get married - Merida as ace, straight, queer, anything you like, all good. + Backstory of Elinor as a young queen, maybe through stories she tells Merida. |
letter |
| itablyskippy | Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei | Itoshiki Nozomu | A strange and inexplicable day-in-the-life canon-style fic, maybe, or something addressing the practical realities of teaching in the SZS world — lesson plans and security checks in a bizarre universe where whole cities uproot themselves daily for the sake of demonstrating Nozomu's latest teaching whimsy! Mood/theme/tone dissonance is my favourite thing about this canon, so anything that clashes everyday life and work with the horrifying melodramatic lifestyle of Nozomu will completely win my heart. | letter |
| itablyskippy | Tsuritama | Haru (Tsuritama) | There really is nothing Haru-centric whatsoever that I wouldn't be overjoyed by, whether it's pre-canon and set in outer space, or at any point during canon in the long wonderful Summer Of Fishing, or post-canon on his return to Earth. Haru adventuring around Enoshima looking for interesting red things? Haru planning the terribly sad events of episode nine? Haru literally just holding forth on Earth foods he enjoys? I am in a desert and Haru fic is my oasis, there is no way not to make my Yuletide when it comes to him! As for shipping, I am all about Yuki/Haru, but if you're not, that's no prob — I'd just ask you don't pair either of them with anyone else. |
letter |
| itablyskippy | Bob's Burgers (Cartoon) | Louise Belcher, Gene Belcher, Tina Belcher | I'd be interested to see the three of them aged up, whatever you think they'd be doing in the future, however near or far into the future you fancy! Tina's erotic Sesame Street human!zombie!AU unexpectedly makes her into the next E.L. James? Gene hits the big time before even leaving school, his musical about the joys of pre-chewed chewing gum a Broadway smash hit? Louise drops out to freelance as a 'contractor', of ambiguous and probably terrifying services? Anything! Go wild! The show sure does! I'm also really interested in how unconcerned Gene is by his own gender expression and identity, and if that's something you're into as well then I'd love to see it explored further, whether just in passing or as the focus of a fic. |
letter |
| itablyskippy | Mukuro Naru Hoshi Tama Taru Ko | Shadow Star | Tamai Shiina, Kaizuka Hiroko | I've been absolutely fascinated by Hiroko ever since I first read Narutaru — her terrible life, her terrible death, how much of herself she keeps below the surface and how few people actually venture below that surface — but so much of her story happens out of sight, while we follow Shiina's POV. I'd just love to know more about Hiroko! What's life like for her, day to day? Her soon-to-be-banned relationship with Shiina, Shiina's new friendship with Akira, and always, always Honda Aki and co. lurking on the near horizon? How would Shiina feel about visiting Hiroko's house — if she's even allowed to — with Hiroko so controlled and afraid, and so unaware of Shiina's newfound power? What's the story of her friendship with Shiina — what was it like when they were younger, in the days before worm juice and revenge? Anything about this girl, at any point in her life, canon or pre-canon, I'd love to read it. If you're stoked to write it, I'm also down with shipfic between these two. Hiroko desperately crushing on Shiina, light of her miserable life? Sweet and affectionate pre-teen romance, rudely interrupted by mass murder and shadow dragons? Feel free to take any fic as black and hopeless as you like! The despair level of this canon is intense, and I'm ready for more. |
letter |
| meria | Juuni Kokki | Twelve Kingdoms | Nakajima Youko, Keiki (Juuni Kokki) | I'd just love to see anything about the evolution of their relationship post the rebellion, but honestly, I love the characters enough that anything about these two would be fine! | |
| meria | Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi | Spirited Away | Ogino Chihiro, Nigihayami Kohakunushi | Haku | I will be honest, I would super love a story where they meet again post-film? | |
| meria | Psy-Changeling - Nalini Singh | Kaleb Krychek, Sahara Kyriakus | o, the fic of my heart would involve something about how these two and the changeling packs work out the new status quo betwixt them all during/post Heart of Obsidian, but honestly? Anything about these two would be lovely. | |
| meria | Chronicles of Elantra - Michelle Sagara | Nightshade (Elantra), Kaylin Neya | Does not have to be romantic! (though I will be honest: I don't really see the Kaylin/Severn ship?) But I would dearly like to just see any kind of interaction between them; there's so much left unsaid between these two! | |
| meria | Demon's Lexicon - Sarah Rees Brennan | Alan Ryves, Cynthia "Sin" Davies | Alan and Sin are my favorite characters, but I love everyone in these books, so if your heart takes you elsewhere, follow it? I just want to read something happy about these poor mistreated characters. ^_^ | |
| meria | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | October "Toby" Daye, Raj (Toby Daye), Tybalt (Toby Daye) | ...I just enjoy seeing the kitties dealing with Toby. I am a simple creature of simple needs. | |

| SummerRed | End of the Trail Series - Jane Elliot | Will Connors, Molly Connors, John Anderson | Threesome with a happy ending and no infidelity. Some prompts to give you ideas; feel free to use any, or none: -John never leaves after the prologue. -John does leave, but Molly doesn't die and is still there when he comes back -Future!fic set in the time of Devil in Dead Horse, in which all three of the adults are still alive. Could be established (some variation on the previous two) or first time (John was gone, but comes back several years later than in End of the Trail). |
|
| SummerRed | Dear Frankie (2004) | Lizzie Morrison, The Stranger (Dear Frankie) | Post movie story with a happy ending. Some prompts to give you ideas; feel free to use any, or none: -The stranger never leaves. Not sure how this would work, considering his job, but it's a chance to be creative! -The stranger comes back for Marie's wedding (don't forget, she's his sister) and he and Lizzie meet again. -Lizzie writes to the stranger. They begin a correspondence. -Frankie writes to the stranger and asks him to come back. (Because he wants his mom to be happy, aw:) |
|
| SummerRed | Charlotte Gray (2001) | Julien Levade, Charlotte Gray | Post movie story with a happy ending. Some prompts to give you ideas; feel free to use any, or none: -Charlotte stays at the farm after the last scene of the movie; she's there to make it work. -Charlotte is just at the farm for a visit at the end of the movie. After she goes back to England, Julien realizes that he can't do without her, and goes to England to find her (which he couldn't do before, because he didn't know her name). -Skip the last scene of the movie entirely and have Julien go to England on a quest to find Charlotte after the end of the war, despite not knowing her name. |
|
| SummerRed | Dogfight (1991) | Rose Fenny, Eddie Birdlace | Post movie story with a happy ending (or, you know, as happy as possible with this movie). Some prompts to give you ideas; feel free to use any, or none: -Eddie stays at Rose's place after the movie until he gets his feet under him; romance blossoms. -Same as above, but with a more hurt/comfort bent, as he clearly has PTSD. -Same as above, but with even *more* of a hurt/comfort bent, because not only does he have PTSD, but he also has a non-canonical injury (preferably not something permanent; I'd rather see Rose nurse Eddie back to full health). -Forget the last few minutes of the movie -- Eddie actually wrote to Rose and they corresponded while he was deployed. |
|
| mmersnow | GetBackers | Fuyuki Shido, Amano Ginji, Midou Ban | I'd really love something about Shido's feelings (platonic or otherwise) about Ginji, especially with regards to Ban's role in Ginji's life and the partnership they've developed. These could be couched in an action-adventure - a heist where they work as a team, or as rivals with the same goal, or antagonists - or introspection, or told through a device (a minute of heaven or hell, etc), or completely ignored in favor of uncomplicated gen hijinks with explosions! I just request Shido be involved in or connected to the plot - I think he's a really interesting character and like how his relationships with both Ginji and Ban change (or don't change, in some ways) over time. | |
| mmersnow | Xenogears | Billy Lee Black, Bart Fatima | Friendship bonding adventures! Piracy! Plunder and booty! Er, potentially awkward do-we-like-each-other encounters! First experiences of any kind, from epic life- and perspective-changing events to small moments of shared intimacy (platonic, romantic, or whatever you feel like) are awesome. You could take these two anywhere from gen action to fluffy comedy to angsty kink, and I will be delighted. |
|
| mmersnow | Mushishi | Mushi (Mushishi), Nui (Mushishi) | I'd love something exploring either an existent canonical mushi or an original or folklore-inspired mushi - perhaps through an encounter with (or by) Nui? This could be while Yoki is with her or before that. Maybe Ginko has come across a mushi, or the record of one which was made by Nui? I very much enjoy stories involving artifacts, on-screen research, or unexpected discoveries. | |
| mmersnow | Dangan Ronpa | Maizono Sayaka | I love Maizono! I like her ability to recover quickly and develop a plan (however crappy) and her drive. Sayaka seems a capable manipulator, but also vulnerable to her own conscience even as she tries to remove herself from actions she's forced into. I'd love something about her willingness to push her own boundaries, either in the context of her music industry job or the accessability/attainability required of idols, or in the context of Despair School. I have only read Dangan Ronpa, and haven't yet had any exposure to DR2, so if you could avoid spoilers that'd be great. I ship Maizono primarily with Leon, but will get aboard any yuri ship involving her for a nice cruise vacation. And hey, if you want to write kinky porn, I'll happily take mine with a side of "I have to do this for my dreams!" dub-con, or public use. |

| ndaydriver | The Americans (TV 2013) | Elizabeth Jennings, Philip Jennings | I would love an exploration of Elizabeth and Philip's relationship, post-Season 1, as they deal with Philip's fake marriage to Martha, as well as how they both handle their real feelings for each other, (re: loving each other, that's how I interpreted where the story was going). I'm a sucker for couples who are "us against the world", and the whole Russian spy aspect just adds a whole other layer to that. Don't mind some angst, but would prefer a more happy ending, and no non-con or hard-core BDSM, please. |
letter |
| ndaydriver | Alice (2009) | Alice Hamilton, Hatter (Alice) | I would love fluff of any variety, with Alice and Hatter having some kind of adventure, whether in our world or Wonderland. Would prefer more of a happy ending, and no non-con or hard-core BDSM, please. |
letter |
| ndaydriver | Lewis (TV) | James Hathaway, Robert Lewis (Lewis) | I would love a Hathaway/Lewis AU where Hathaway is pining for Lewis and doesn't believe that they will ever truly be together, (but of course, he's wrong). Don't mind some angst, but prefer more of a happy ending. No non-con or hard-core BDSM, please. | letter |
| ndaydriver | North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV | John Thornton, Margaret Hale | I would love to see a post-series story that shows how Margaret helps John get the factory up and running again, etc. Would love to also see more of Margaret and Higgins' friendship. Don't mind some angst, but prefer more of a happy ending. No non-con or hard-core BDSM, please. |
letter |
| ndaydriver | Holiday (1938) | Johnny Case, Linda Seton | I would love to see what happened on the cruise that Johnny and Linda took at the end of the movie and all of the shenanigans they could get up to. Would prefer more of a happy ending. No non-con or hard-core BDSM, please. | letter |
| ndaydriver | Cinderella (Fairy Tale) | Cinderella (Fairy Tales), Prince (Cinderella - Fairy Tale) | I would love an AU of the traditional Cinderella story. Maybe Cinderella doesn't get away at midnight and the Prince confronts her or Cinderella ends up falling in love with another member of the Palace, etc. I'm fine with a little angst, but prefer more of a happy ending. No non-con or hard-core BDSM, please. | letter |
| ngjae | Rizzle Kicks (band) | Jordan "Rizzle" Stephens (Rizzle Kicks), Harley "Sylvester" Alexander-Sule (Rizzle Kicks) | I'd like fic about them going to high school together in Brighton and trying out their different styles and coming together creatively, or an alternate universe fic where Harley goes onto become an actor after Brit School and Jordan becomes a solo artist and they meet up again after becoming popular. | letter |
| ngjae | 학교 | School (2013) | Lee Kangjoo, Song Hakyung | I would really love a story about what happens to them after high school- if they separate for college, if they stick together, etc. I ship them romantically, but friendship fic is fine too! | letter |
| ngjae | City Hunter (TV) | Kim Na-na (City Hunter (TV)), Lee Yoon-Sung (City Hunter (TV)) | I love the two of them together. Anything with them working together as a team would be great! I would love a silly AU where they're a superhero duo or private detectives together. Or, canon fic that expands on the end of the last episode. I love the other characters in the series so feel free to include them as well. Youngjoo is my favorite. |
letter |
| ngjae | 아름다운 그대에게 | To the Beautiful You | Cha Eungyeol | Eungyeol is such a great, optimistic character and I really fell in love with him over the course of this mostly wacky drama. His struggle over his feelings toward Jaehee really resonated with me. I would love to read a fic where he's more than incidentally queer. OCs are fine and if you want to include other TTBY characters as well that would be great! | letter |
| ngjae | Pitch Perfect RPF | Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect RPF), Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect RPF) | Brittany and Anna have such a delightful friendship. I would read pretty much anything involving them and wacky adventures, with Anna getting them in trouble. Any kind of ridiculous trope like woke-up-married or fake dating would be icing on the cake. | letter |
| nmachine | Spirou et Fantasio | Basically, I'd like to see Spirou/Fantasio slash fic. Maybe one where they have an adventure and get worried about each other, but anything goes. I'll be happy with gen fic too, though, or anything with Marsupilami. | letter | |
| nmachine | Rush (2013) | Niki Lauda (Rush), James Hunt (Rush) | Niki/James slash would be great, but I'm also fine with gen fic that focuses on their obsessive relationship with each other. Story idea: Niki and James run into each other in an unexpected place where they don't know anyone and no one knows them. | letter |
| nmachine | The Maze Runner Series - James Dashner | Newt (Maze Runner) | I like the idea of Newt/Alby and Newt/Thomas slash, but I'm okay with gen fic as well. Possible story ideas: The time in the Maze before Thomas came from Newt's point of view OR The relationship between Newt and Alby OR What happened in Death Cure from Newt's point of view (feel free to make me hurt) |
letter |
| nmachine | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | Iskierka (Temeraire), Temeraire | The love story of Temeraire and Iskierka. Basically I'd like to see a story about the relationship between Temeraire and Iskierka and how it has developed through the years. | letter |
| nsetmog | Hollyoaks | John Paul McQueen, Craig Dean | John Paul and Craig get a happy ending together after going off to Dublin, please! | letter |
| nsetmog | Get Real (1998) | Steven Carter (Get Real), John Dixon (Get Real) | John realising he's got a lot of growing up and coming out to do, and working really hard to win Steven back, would be great.

| nsetmog | Sadler's Wells - Lorna Hill | Veronica Weston, Sebastian Scott | Veronica and Sebastian are one of my favourite couples in anything, ever. You don't get to see much of them getting together in the books, so seeing more of that would be nice, or scenes of them together after they are married -- their friendship was so lovely, and them being in love was so perfect, so more of that would be wonderful. | letter |

| nsmasher | Lucifer (Comic) | Mazikeen | I'd like to see something with Mazikeen as the new Morningstar following Lucifer's departure, whatever that entails, but really anything with Mazikeen post-series would be gr8. Maybe she ends up communicating with Elaine again, or with Rachel, or just goes and conquers planes of existence with the Lilim, the world just needs more Mazikeen. Actually something not post-canon would be fine too considering how weak I am to Lucifer/Mazikeen. Follow your heart. |

| nsmasher | Ex Machina | Anything told from Suzanne's point of view would be rad! Really, just, anything. Her relationship with Michael (what exactly happened in his apartment after his whole "no we're totally dating you're not a beard thing" hmm??), how her work as a journalist intersected with the rest of the cast and the storyline, what it felt like being under the cube's power, even fix-it fic that deposits her back in this dimension. All is welcome. I would also be very open to some Michael/Rick where everyone is unhappy and angry, I'm also gonna put that out there. |

| nsmasher | Girl Genius | Agatha Heterodyne, Tarvek Sturmvoraus, Gilgamesh Wulfenbach | omething involving the three of them working/fighting together. I am open to anything from pure ot3 smut to super political empirebuilding. Feel free to make it an AU, who knows what's even happening in the comic right now. | |
| nsmasher | The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon | As fantastic as the entirety of the book is, The Golden Age section really made me happiest, so anything set in that part of the book, and preferably won't make me cry like the actual end of The Golden Age did, is ideal. I am also a gigantic comics nerd, as you may have guessed, so anything set in the world of The Escapist, especially as it overlaps with Sam and Joe's reality, would be super cool! | ||
| nsmasher | Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann | I love every single aspect of this show and can place no part above another, so the particulars of plot and content aren't as important to me as the tone. I'm looking for something ridiculous, maybe a little bittersweet, but in the end stupidly uplifting. Or maybe just normal amounts of uplifting, but at least one "fuck yeah!!!!" moment would be appreciated. | ||
| nsmasher | Young Avengers | America Chavez (Young Avengers) | America Chavez!!!! America Chavez. Her and Loki duking it out, her travels around the multiverse kicking ass and taking names, her crazy empirebuilding moms??, HER AND CAP TEAMING UP HAWKGUY STYLE there are just so many cool things to be done with America Chavez, I don't even know how you're gonna choose just one. | |

| rprise | I Believe in a Thing Called Love (Music Video) | Justin Hawkins, The Fuzzy Purple One, Tentacle Monster | Thank you very much for writing for me. I've tried to detail a few things I love about the fandom, and give you some prompts if that would help inspire you to write, but if you already have a different idea that is totally fine. I would be happy with any new fic for this video, and I like surprises. You do not need to include all three characters. Available on the internet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRYNYb30nxU I love old-fashioned cheesy science fiction, and all the kink and sleaze that was often slipped in the genre. This music video encapsulates everything that is good and right: Awesome sexually charged fight scenes! With guitar solos! Awesome costumes consisting of sequined jumpsuits open to the navel or only body paint and glued on horns! Awesome alien creatures as crew on the ship! Awesome alien creatures as enemies! A limited set still managing to hint at an epic scope. Fascinating world-building details with many unanswered details rife for speculation. Justin Hawkins I find this character incredibly sexy. He's both feminine and masculine, very pretty, has a beautiful feminine voice, wields his guitar weapon in a very phallic way. His diadem reminds me of the sort of weapon a Magical Girl would have in anime. He's sensuous and alluring, and also tough and violent, not hesitating to lob boulders at the giant space crab. I would be interested in porn or smarm about him and The Fuzzy Purple One. I'd also like porn and/or horror and/or action-adventure about him and the Tentacle Monster. And I would like general would-building or action-adventure in space. The Fuzzy Purple One Also a sexy character, and someone I'd like to know a lot more about. Are they Justin's lover? His body servant? His slave? A crew member or passenger? Are they a professional, a scientist, an explorer, an engineer, a musician/warrior? Are they the chef, and how does that work without a mouth? I would like to read porn or sensual gen focusing on fur/fuzziness/softness. I would also like character exploration or world-building about this one and their people. Action-adventure would also be fun. For this character, please write them as sapient, that is, a self-aware intelligent person, not an animal. Tentacle Monster Porn about them and Justin or The Fuzzy Purple One would be good. A fight scene would also be good. I'd like general world-building and character exploration too. My fondness for Tentacle Monsters comes from reading old science fiction about deep sea exploration with giant squids and octopuses, and from reading fanfic with both sensual and sometimes even aphrodisiac tentacles. I'm not very familiar with hentai tropes, but please feel free to write those if you are inspired to. Overall likes for this fandom References to old cheesy science fiction Porn, level of consent does not matter Action-adventure World-building Sensuality and smarm Do Not Want for this fandom RPF Incest between Justin and his brother |

| rprise | Maru Desu | I Am Maru | Maru, Harry (I Am Maru), Hana (I Am Maru), mugumogu | Thank you very much for writing for me. I've tried to detail a few things I love about the fandom, and give you some prompts if that would help inspire you to write, but if you already have a different idea that is totally fine. I would be happy with any new fic about Maru and his room mates, and I like surprises. You do not need to include all the characters. Available on the internet http://sisinmaru.blog17.fc2.com/ I love cats. I love mugumogu's dry, understated style, the story lines she constructs, and the humor. I love how even though Maru and Hana are mostly indoor cats, they have a home full of things to explore and do. Maru I'm very interested in Maru's hunting for insects, and how he responds to visitors. I like his exploration of furniture. I like how incredibly sneaky and stealthy he is, always so great at planning and executing surprise attacks. I like his fetish for boxes. I like how he loves his particular favorite toys, food and brushings. I would like to know more about his relationships with mugumogu and Hana. Harry I love the angsty storyline of Harry's unrequited feelings for Maru, and would like to know any new developments there, and how he feels about Hana. mugumogu I'd also like to know more about mugumogu, all the times she's moved house, all the boxes and toys she acquires, how much she cleans. Hana I feel like we do not know Hana well at all, yet. I'd like to know how she experiences her new home, Maru and mugumogu. I'd like more about Maru taunting her by sitting in high places and eating her food, and how she turns the tables on him.

| rprise | Heather Feather - ASMR Roleplays (Webseries) | Mystical Feather, Apothecary Plume | Thank you very much for writing for me. I've tried to detail a few things I love about the fandom, and give you some prompts if that would help inspire you to write, but if you already have a different idea that is totally fine. I would be happy with any fic for Heather Feather's roleplays, and I like surprises. You do not need to include both characters. Available on the internet Apothecary Plume stars in The Apothecary Plume: A Binaural (3D) ASMR Role Play For Your Relaxation, duration: 1 hour 16 minutes. This episode can stand alone. Mystical Feather stars in Relaxing Soft Spoken Potion Brewing Role Play (ASMR), duration: 48 minutes Love Potion Role Play for Relaxation (ASMR), duration: 1 hour 25 minutes Yer A Wizard Role Play for Relaxation (ASMR), duration: 1 hour 6 minutes 3D Binaural & Stereo Magic Shop for Crystals Role Play for Relaxation (ASMR), duration: 1 hour 39 minutes Warning, ASMR videos are sleep and relaxation aids. Reviewing the canon without falling asleep or into a state of meditation may be difficult. What I love about Heather Feather's role plays and would love in a Yuletide fic is the pop culture references and the humor. Heather Feather always gives her role plays an edge, so that if you can't fall asleep there is enough going on to tease your mind and distract you from your thoughts. She hints at this whole magical universe existing parallel to our mundane world, and draws on canon from books, TV shows, computer games, comic books even songs to give it depth, make you laugh, and to add a thrill of horror. Often if you catch the sly allusions, you will understand what is going on in the role play in a different light. Both Apothecary Plume and Mystical Feather are strong-willed and slightly domineering women. Mystical Feather may be all sweetness on the surface, but she will do what she thinks is right with your consent or without it. Apothecary Plume is amusingly crabby and docent-like. It's a particular pleasure to experience female characters outside of the usual molds for fantasy fandoms. They both appeal powerfully to my competency kink, with their controlled, deliberate hand movements, take charge attitude and encyclopedic knowledge of their professional areas. I'd like a plot involving magic. I'd be interested to know more about their businesses, and about what magical challenges they might be called on to fix because of their expertise. It would also be fun to see them plopped into plots or situations from other fandoms and see how they handle that. Overall likes for this fandom Pop culture references Crossover characters from and fusions with other fantasy universes alluded to in canon Competency kink World-building Humor Horror Gen or f/f Do Not Want for this fandom Sleep inducement Involving "you", "reader" or "Surprise" as a character/someone outside the text to whom the dialog is directed |

| rprise | Mumintroll | Moomins Series - Tove Jansson | Mårran | The Groke, Hattifnattar | Hattifattners, Den Som Bor Under Diskbänken | The Dweller Under the Sink, Hemul | The Hemulin | Thank you very much for writing for me. I've tried to detail a few things I love about the fandom, and give you some prompts if that would help inspire you to write, but if you already have a different idea that is totally fine. I would be happy with any new fic for any these books, and I like surprises. You do not need to include all the characters. I love how in the Mumintroll series there is all the warmth and love and safety of family and cozy homes, and the sublime drama of untamed nature. There is the innocence and fun of childhood, and the awareness of loss and grief and the preciousness of life of adulthood. I think Tove Jansson was very wise about humanity and philosophy, but please do not feel you need to write a clever allegory of anything, or assign any deep meaning in your fic. Den Som Bor Under Diskbänken Shocking, that there exist people who share our world, maybe even our intimate sphere, but look different from us, have different concerns and priorities, and are challenging to communicate with. And they feel entitled to all the privileges that should be ours! And yet what appealing eyebrows they may have. I would like to know more about this person, their life and ambitions, their family and friends, what they do during summer, and how they saved the world and fought mighty centipedes. Mårran She is fascinating, tragic, and terrifying. She craves warmth and light, but destroys all she touches, sucks the life and energy out of it. She is like the incarnation of winter or deepest space, and gives you that feeling of crystalline beauty and awe. She is also a lonely, toxic person. I'd like to know more about the lore and myth surrounding her. How do the dwellers of winter tell tales of her, avoid her or fight her? Did anyone ever trick her or vanquish her to save their family or home? Did she ever experience happiness? Hemul A Hemul may be slightly neurotic and bad at social interaction, but when they engage in their special interests they are a joy to behold. They get super enthusiastic about their hobbies, and will put an effort into having fun. I'd like anything about a Hemul engaged in any sort of fandom, be that sports, music, stamp collecting or crafts. You can use a canon or OC Hemul. You can poke a bit of fun at them or give them challenges to overcome, but please be kind to them and give them a happy ending. Hattifnattar I think Hattifnattar are probably really kinky. They're into electricity play and orgies. Maybe they form telepathic bonds? How does it feel for them to call down lightning? How would it feel to pick one up, would it burn you or shock you, or give you and pleasant tingly buzz? Do they ever come close to people's houses? How do they feel about electrical installations and light pollution? Are they related at all to mushrooms or jellyfish?

| h | Seven Kingdoms Trilogy - Kristin Cashore | Bitterblue (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy), Katsa (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy) | I would love to know more about their friendship! Either between 'Graceling' and 'Bitterblue', or after 'Bitterblue' ends. I love these characters and this series in general, though, so I'm bound to like almost anything involving either of them. If you want to bring in other characters from the series as well, that would be grand, but please no more Leck than absolutely necessary. | letter |
| h | Scandal (TV) | Olivia Pope, Huck (Scandal) | I would love to know more about their friendship! At any point in its development, really. Past, present or future! Maybe my favourite thing in the show is Huck's intense but silent devotion to Liv, and the way he chooses to show that (e.g. standing guard over her when she needed a moment in S1, my god), and the way she reciprocates that devotion in 'Spies Like Us', so anything that includes a moment of that would be precious to me. | letter |
| h | Eleanor & Park - Rainbow Rowell | Eleanor Douglas | What does Eleanor grow up to be and to do? I just want to know everything post-canon about her life! I don't mind if that means her finding Park again, or just thinking of him fondly as a first love but nothing more. I'd be happy to know more about Park post-novel too, but it's really only Eleanor I'm invested in here. I want to know what she does with her life now--I don't really have any idea about what that might be! But I'd like her to be happy. | letter |
| h | Body (movie concept) | The Kindergarten Teacher (Body), The Bodyguard (Body) | Anything for this thing will delight me! I loved all the fic for it last year, and would love to see an alternate version of the plot, a deleted scene, a continuation, an AU, etc. I know people dread an 'anything!', but I'm not sure what else I can say for this one? Something that uses this movie concept and a few of my likes would be just grand. |
letter |
| h | Back Home - Michelle Magorian | Virginia "Rusty" Dickinson | I received an absolutely lovely fic for this fandom last year, so another one to keep it company would be wonderful! Anything character-centric and post-canon about Rusty would please me. I wrote Rusty-centric fic (of a sort) for yuletide myself last year, so you could read that if you wanted to get an idea of what I like about her, and where I see her life going long-term? Something generally happy, in the tone of the book, and with a strong sense of setting will make my day. | letter |

| SweeneyAgonistes | Swordspoint Series - Ellen Kushner | Alec Campion, Richard St Vier | Alec and Richard in Riverside. If a time period would help, in the last days before Richard goes to Highcombe, or maybe when Alec buys the building and starts consolidating power. I'm particularly interested in place -- Riverside matters, you know? Because it's where they feel safe. Or as safe as they can. How does that change, once Alec becomes the duke? Are there more points where Alec can start keeping Richard safe, instead of vice versa? Where are the tensions, and how does Riverside react? Bonus points: swordfights!! |
letter |
| SweeneyAgonistes | Breaking Bad | Gustavo Fring, Mike Ehrmantraut | I want a New Mexico story. Gus and Mike don't even have to be the centerpiece or POV characters -- I want a New Mexico story. I want to know about the geography, the landscape, the region. So worldbuilding, I guess? It's what I've always loved best about Breaking Bad -- how rooted in its setting it is. I'd love to see a story that reflects that. (Something to note: for a story that literally crosses borders, we don't really see the Border Patrol.) Bonus points: on-point use of music, green chile, Gus backstory. |
letter |
| SweeneyAgonistes | The Hour | Freddie Lyon, Bel Rowley | I haven't watched series two and don't plan to (because I know how it ends and I don't like cliffhangers), so what I'd like to see is something pre-canon focusing on their friendship/UST. (Or RST, if that's how you want to take it.) How do Freddie and Bel get close (close enough that she knows his father)? Why does she put up with his horseshit? Why does he get to know her well enough that a yellow lamp seems appropriate? Missing scenes good, character study better, plot unnecessary but always appreciated. Bonus points: Lix (Lix!!!), the Bill Haley record collection, Freddie paying attention to rock and roll, jazz, and the nascent African American civil rights movement across the Atlantic. |
letter |
| SweeneyAgonistes | Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell | It is probably bad to say that I don't know what I want, I just want Cloud Atlas fic. I love all the narratives -- Sloosha's Crossin' and the Ghastly Ordeal less than the others, if you want something to rule out -- and have a special soft spot for Adam Ewing's conversion narrative in particular. They all kind of have conversion narratives, don't they? Conversion, epiphany, enlightenment -- we see those in every story. Those and the spots of crossover are my favorites; I'm sorry that's so vague. Bonus points: use of Frobisher's sextet, and the absolute Yuletide story of my heart forever and ever amen unto the end of the world would be a Cloud Atlas/Pacific Rim crossover, and now that I've said this, I feel the need to underscore that optional details are in fact optional. |

| weetcarolanne | Whip It (2009) | Bliss Cavendar, Iron Maven, Eva Destruction, Jackie Daniels (Whip It) | I'm especially wanting Iron Maven-centric femmeslash this year - you could pair her with any (or all if you're brave enough) of the other characters nominated! My only absolutes are that I want a lesbian and proud of it Maven, lots of roller derby skating and no unhappy endings, otherwise go where you will with the story. Will it be a fluffy romance, a triumph over adverse situations, a rivalry turned to love or a bonding between team-mates becoming something more? More details can be found at my Dear Yuletide Writer letter, to be found at my LJ under the tag "yuletide" after Monday 14th October. | letter |
| weetcarolanne | Poltergeist (1982) | Carol Anne Freeling, Tangina Barrons, Reverend Henry Kane, Diane Freeling | I'd love a story either from Carol Anne's point of view or one that pretty much centers on her, such as what is the power she has that draws supernatural entities to her... I don't want Carol Anne to die, or be maimed or be sexually abused, otherwise any plot is OK. I would prefer Carol Anne to be still a child in the story, not a teen or an adult many years after the timeline of the movies. More details can be found at my Dear Yuletide Writer letter, to be found at my LJ under the tag "yuletide" after Monday 14th October. | letter |
| weetcarolanne | Cthulhu Mythos - H. P. Lovecraft | Cthulhu | I'd adore some Cthulhu slash - Cthulhu/Gustaf Johansen would be good, or perhaps Cthulhu and another human male, whether from Lovecraft or an OC (a cultist, perhaps)! Can be sweet and PG-rated or go wild with the sex and tentacles! Funny parody or serious story, graphic or merely hinted at... you choose! :) More details can be found at my Dear Yuletide Writer letter, to be found at my LJ under the tag "yuletide" after Monday 14th October. | letter |

Does he hide them, act on any of them or do something else? And what if the Pope manages to find out anything? Is there religious guilt or does Cesare get full of "entitlement" feelings and pride, deciding he can do anything he wants?

| weetcarolanne | The Little Mermaid (1989) | Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Ursula | Vanessa (The Little Mermaid) | Go where you will with this one, either Ariel/Ursula femmeslash (tentacles most welcome!) or just Ariel in the sea being a mermaid and super cute, lots of mermaid tails and pretty fish and sparkly things and just general cutesiness - you pick which way, dear author! Anything from G-rated to explicit NC-17 is fine. I just love this story!!!

| wmbo | Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin | Janine Kishi | Prompts, both specific and vague, depending on your comfort level! I adore 'outsider pov', and think it could be amazing with Janine on the club/her sister/etc (but still a story about Janine, not just a retelling of what's going on in the book!) I would love to see her hook up/bond with Charlie Thomas, either opposites attract, or desperation during yet another contrived 'all the BSC members go on vacation together and don't understand that vacation means NOT BABYSITTING' so Janine and Charlie are thrown together ALL THE TIME. And I am always warm and welcoming and fuzzy to future!fic or modernization!fic (of any of the cast, really, if you are suddenly going oh god, why did I request Janine?!) - send them off to college or first jobs or ten years into the future or strand them on a deserted island. Or go wild and crazy - write that fic in which Morbidda Destiny really IS the name of Mrs. Porter and Karen was right all along, because Magic is REAL but oops, Karen isn't magical, but David Michael IS and he's the one who gets the letter into whatever the US version of Hogwarts is and Karen is just BITTER. |
letter |
| wmbo | Swallows and Amazons - Arthur Ransome | Susan Walker (Swallows and Amazons) | Things I would love to see: Susan-at-school ... what is she like? Is she a golden god at the school? Kind of a weirdo outcast who only lives for the summers? What kinds of adventures does she get up to or rescue people from? Does she get lake!sick? I can see so many possibilities from her personality, and I would love to see all or any of them. (Actually, I would love this fic for Susan or Peggy or Nancy, because oh man, you just know there's some serious contrast going on.) Writing letters back and forth with Peggy (often dictated by Nancy, but you know you can't get her to put pen to paper) Shipwrecked-on-a-deserted island fic, with or without her siblings or the other kids (in her teens would be amazing, but also as an adult, I want her stepping up and being super awesome) Or man, I would love to see ship!fic (pun intended) between Susan and Tom Dudgeon, because they have such different backgrounds and yet share the same love of sailing and the same super!competence and I don't know, it would make me super happy to see. C'mon, Dorothea, work up some introductions. Weird and crazy AUs absolutely welcome, if you suddenly want to know what would have happened if the Walkers were the ones that had stumbled into Narnia or fell into a portal into an alternate universe or traveled in time. I love ALL THE WALKERS AND BLACKETTS and Ds, so again, if for some reason you are going blank on writing Susan, I am totally flexible in my Swallows and Amazon love. |
letter |
| wmbo | Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV) | Ray Holt | Time to roll the dice and hope we're not Jossed between now and December! I love Captain Ray Holt, he is just so dry and god, all of the canon facts (his husband! the trip to bermuda! the treasured photographs being destroyed - he is such a sentimentalist with a deadpan face! - the fact that nobody can read him, ugh, it just makes me so happy) I would love to see ANY of those events (or future ones!) that he briefly mentioned fleshed out. I want to see what his life outside the station is like. Does he have 3 cats? Do he and his husband have kids? I love comedy, obviously, but a serious exploration would be beautiful. (Thoughtful? Hurt/comfort? Angst-with-a-happy-ending? All gorgeous) If you are now regretting offering Ray Holt and/or Any, it's ok! I would be absolutely excited to receive something funny and charming and canonish about the station as a whole. Or go AU, give them superpowers and have them fighting crime a totally different way! Or in-an-AU where the Captain isn't married (cheating IS one of my few fic turnoffs) have Holt/Peralta forced to go undercover as a couple to catch a criminal or on a road trip together. Or something sweet and angsty with Boyle/Holt, that would also be deeelightful. (Boyle needs SO MANY HUGS) |
letter |
| wmbo | The Good Wife (TV) | Cary Agos | Normally, I am not into requesting ship!fic but oh man, would I not love one with Cary and either Childs, Will, or Peter? Yes, yes I would. (and I know I said in my Brooklyn Nine Nine optionals cheating is a squick, so Alicia/Peter would definitely need to be over for that pairing to work, but all things considered from canon, handwaving it over is fine) Angsty, slightly sweet, sometimes snarky, it would all be so good. In universe!canon or in an AU of pretty much any kind, because it's really about characterization for me with Cary, rather than him being a lawyer. (He's driven, he's smart, he's got his daddy!issues, he's loyal and thus surprised by betrayal and yet he still lets himself trust again) Or! Cary/Zach would be amazing as well, if a totally different dynamic, because god, the issues that would cause with Zach's parents? So.much.scope. Alternatively, if you are not into writing m/m would be SUPER HAPPY to receive Florrick and Agos, Attorneys at Law fic! NOTHING made me squeak harder in joy than the season finale when they decided to go ahead and I would love, love, love to see that play out in fic. L O V E. Triumph of the underdogs! Debates on if they have to split an assistant again! Possible guest appearances by some of our favorite alternate counsel, judges, or clients :) Even shippy, as long as it's a long, slow build (it's a thing). |

| Syksy | Agnes Cecilia - Maria Gripe | Hedvig Björkman | I asked for Hedvig because we really don't get to know her that well. She's practical and levelheaded but also artistic and headstrong. To me as an adult reader she reads as propably gay, so I'd be thrilled with a fic exploring that. If that doesn't sound like fun to you, there are lots of other possible stories too. How did she feel when Cecilia died? How did she and Agnes get on, over the years? Were they ever really close, or were they always too different for that? | letter |

Cleopatra keeps on talking about how she prefers men to women, does she speak from experience? And how do they all meet again? Because they ARE immortal, it will happen one day, and won't that be interesting and painfull? | letter | |
| Syksy | Mythago Wood Sequence - Robert Holdstock | Original characters, original locations, everything goes here. Maybe there is a mythago jungle somewhere in South-America? The people at the manor house, how do they live with the wood? In Mythago Wood they are described as uninterested but in The Hollowing Richard thinks that the new generation knows something. Did something happen, maybe to the father? How about all the supporting players, the scientists with their quests, how did they do? I haven't read Avilion yet (I've been saving it, since it will be the last new Holdstock ever) so please no spoilers for that. |

| Syksy | My Little Pony (Cartoon 1984) | Lofty (My Little Pony) | ince I'm interested in any and all aspects of this world you are totally free to write about someone else, if you want to. There are so many things we don't know, like what sort of mythology do ponies have? What happens when they grow up, fall in love, get married? (I have this theory in which they have this all lesbian utopic society, but that's just one idea.) | letter |
| llogismos | Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) | Jim Prideaux | There isn't enough Jim in TTSS fanfic. Give me more of him! I'm fascinated with him as a character. He seems to be a man who operates with a great deal of integrity; his moral compass doesn't allow for much in the way of shades of gray, and if there's something wrong and he can do something about it, then it's his responsibility to remedy the situation. I'd be especially partial to post-movie fic exploring the various repercussions of his actions at the end of the movie, or even how he came to the decision to do what he did. Feel free to involve any of the other canon characters, or just give me a character study, pre-, during, or post-movie. It's all good ;) (And completely, utterly optionally, I do 'ship Jim/Peter, if that happens to be your thing.) |
letter |
| llogismos | The Prestige (2006) | Robert Angier | I love what the movie did with Angier, particularly the dark turn with respect to what he went through to match Borden's "Transported Man" trick. (Getting his hands dirty indeed.) So...tell me what it was like for him? Did it ever get any easier? Did it get harder but then suddenly horrifyingly easier? If so, why? What happened? Feel free (but not obligated, naturally) to go AU such that he doesn't meet his end at the hands of Borden and instead lives his life into old age, having adopted Borden's daughter as his own. What were the consequences of his experiences with The Box, later in his life? Nightmares? Flashbacks? Deep, soul-crushing regret and guilt over what (or perhaps more accurately who) could have been? |
letter |
| llogismos | Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams | Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Fenchurch (HHGttG) | I am somewhat predictable in that Arthur & Ford is my BroTP, and Arthur/Fenchurch my OTP. But...I'm curious to see how all three of them would fit together. How would Fenchurch react to Ford, and Ford's rather important role in Arthur's life? How would it affect her relationship with Arthur? We get a bit of Ford's reaction in So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, but I'd like to see more, either missing scenes from that book's storyline, or contrive your own reason for the three of them to be together. (A threesome really isn't what I'm after here, but you might be able to sell it to me.) If the above doesn't appeal to you, I'd also be very happy with a fic focusing on the Arthur/Fenchurch relationship, or on Arthur and Ford's relationship. I'm probably in the minority here, but I really enjoy the angstier bits of H2G2. I like the beginning of So Long... when Arthur's desperately trying to reconnect with Fenchurch, I like the bit on prehistoric Earth when Arthur and Ford "break up" and go their separate ways (What happened to cause that?), etc. Any kind of exploration of either of those relationships would be a real joy to read. |

| llogismos | History Boys (2006) | Donald Scripps (History Boys 2006), David Posner (History Boys 2006) | cripps and Posner are definitely my two favorite characters in the film. I would love anything dealing with their friendship pre-, during, or post-movie. In terms of more specific ideas...some of the thoughts I've had follow, but feel free to follow your own heart of course. What is Scripps' religious life like following the movie? How does Hector's (unjust?) death affect his faith? I can definitely see Scripps going through a crisis of faith, and perhaps a complete loss of belief in God, and since religion forms such a large part of how he asserts himself and relates to the world (in the form of how he presents his identity to his peers), it would seem a great deal of identity renegotiation would be necessary following such a crisis. How does this affect his friendship with Posner? Does Posner help him through it, or is Posner (equally plausibly, IMO) a bit horrified to find his friend tossing aside what had seemed to be an integral part of his identity? I also hate (HATE HATE) the epilogue we get for Posner at the end of the film. To me, the combination of the 'not happy' and his admission of struggling not to touch his students imply his remaining closeted and perhaps somewhat repressed. So...fix it for me! Show me Posner (and Scripps, as a friend, or, if you're so inclined, Scripps as a lover) coming to terms with his homosexuality and finding some form of happiness, no matter how fleeting...epilogue compliance very much not required. If you want to combine these two prompts, go right ahead. ;) |

| llogismos | Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip K. Dick | Rick Deckard (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Iran Deckard (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) | Chapter One of DADoES is one of my favorite literary intros of all time! It's a glorious, glorious introduction to Rick Deckard as a character, very much through the lens of his relationship and interaction with his wife, Iran. But there's this tiny detail that is put out there at the very beginning and never explained, so please, dear Writer, explain it for me: WHY DO THEY SLEEP IN SEPARATE BEDS? Maybe it's something about this futuristic world and the reduced fertility of the general population (i.e., reduced sex drive), maybe it's something particular to Rick and Iran (best friends and soulmates but not lovers...if so, WHY? HOW?), maybe Rick has an enlarged prostate and has to get up to pee twelve times a night, IDK. All in all: 'splain me this thing, dear dear YW, and I will cherish you to the end of my days. Anything Rick/Iran would be interesting to me really. (Canonical) het or gen friendship, whatever. Tell me more about them as a couple. I feel like Iran as Rick's wife is crucial at the beginning and at the end of the book, but other than that there's not much of her, and I want more. (In fact, if you left him out of it and gave me a character study of her, I don't think I'd be disappointed. Not at all.) |
letter |
| Syme | Arthurian Mythology | Mordred (Arthurian Mythology), Galahad (Arthurian Mythology) | I've always thought that, in versions in which they both appear, there are a lot of parallels between Mordred and Galahad-- each their father's only child, but born due to a "trick" which led to a screwed-up father/son relationship. I would love to see them interact, and see how their personalities and experiences play off each other. | letter |
| Syme | Moby Dick - Herman Melville | Ishmael (Moby Dick - Herman Melville) | I find Ishmael fascinating as a narrator, particularly the way in which he fades into the background only to emerge in critical moments. I'm particularly intrigued by the chapters about what Ishmael got up to after the events of Moby-Dick, especially the chapter where he explores the whale's skeleton. He seems to have had a pretty interesting life, but it remains unclear how much his personality was affected by what happened on the Pequod, partially because his personality remains unclear in general. I would like to learn more about him. | letter |
| Syme | Colleen - Joanna Newsom (song) | "Colleen" | love the song's ability to tell a full story while remaining extremely vague as to what's actually going on. I would love a story that explores the world of the song (focusing on the narrator), but without giving up that essential mysteriousness. | letter |
| Syme | The Tempest - Shakespeare | Ariel (The Tempest), Caliban (The Tempest) | Caliban and Ariel are the only two characters who are "native" to the island. Before the play began, they were alone together on the island for however many years, while Ariel was trapped in the tree. When the play ends, they're left alone together on the island again. Yet, they never speak to each other, and they never really interact. What's going on there?? | letter |
| Syme | Adrian Mole Series - Sue Townsend | Adrian Mole | I love these books very much, and I am always so excited when there's a new one! I love how they began as pure satire, then eventually gain some depth of character. Adrian continues to be unbelievably pretentious and self-deluded, but I just love him. He has a kind heart, under all his self-pitying complaining, and there's little he wouldn't do for his friends and family. This yuletide, I want something to go right for Adrian. | letter |
| Syme | The Fool's Tale - Nicole Galland | Gwirion, Isabel Mortimer | This is one of the few fictional romances that I really love, and the reason is that it's so specific-- you can really see why these two particular characters care for each other. I also like the book's take on the role of the fool, which I had previously romanticized a great deal. I would be happy with anything with Gwirion and Isabel-- a missing scene, a fix-it fic, or even an AU set in another time period/country. Nicole Galland said somewhere that she came up with the characters first and the setting second, so I would be interested to see how they would be different/the same in another setting. I don't find Noble very interesting on his own, but I know that any story about Gwirion and Isabel would need to include Noble as well (whether he's physically present or not), so definitely don't feel you have to avoid him. | letter |
| TadpoleGlee | Elenium/Tamuli Series - David & Leigh Eddings | Would love gen, but equally happy with ship!fic. My ships are. Sparhawk/Kalten, Sparhawk/Kurik, Sparhawk/Ehlana and Tynian/Ulath. Love reading about the interactions between the characters. Would like to see something from before or after canon. | letter | |
| TadpoleGlee | Dredd (2012) | Joseph Dredd, Cassandra Anderson | Prompt Ideas: Cassandra's reaction to finding out that Dredd passed her. Dredd hunting out more rogue Judges. Another crime scene where they have to work together. Gen, please, or unrequited crush on Cassandra's part. Dredd/Work OTP. Don't mind dark!fic, or deathfic. Not adverse to slight fluff either. | letter |
| TadpoleGlee | BioShock Infinite | Elizabeth (BioShock), Booker DeWitt, Zachary Comstock, Daisy Fitzroy | No incest please. Prompt thoughts: Quiet bonding time between Elizabeth and Booker. How did Bookers mindset change when he became Comstock. How did Daisy found the Vox Populi? How did an alternate Elizabeth come to join the Vox? | letter |
| TadpoleGlee | Saints Row | Johnny Gat, The Boss (Saints Row) | Don't mind male or female Boss, or one that switches between. Quite happy for porn. I ship the Boss with Everyone as a way of keeping control/helping the Saints run right. Bulletproof identity play kink, would like to see something involving Image as Designed. If you prefer to write gen, then a mission/heist/internal thoughts are welcome as well. | letter |
| Taelle | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Phryne Fisher, Dorothy "Dot" Williams | I want a look into Dot's future. Maybe some adventures of her own, maybe her plans besided being Phryne's companion. I also wouldn't mind some Phryne/Dot. | |
| Taelle | Takarazuka Revue RPF | What I want is the cross between Takarazuka and the fantastic. Siennes of today travelling to the Takarazuka of the past, siennes of past suddenly appearing in the present, siennes encountering various supernatural elements, remembering their past lives being the characters they play onstage... that kind of thing. | ||
| Taelle | Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu | Legend of the Galactic Heroes | Yang Wenli | I want a story about Yang as a historian. Future fix-it, total AU, doesn't matter. | |
| Taelle | Shirley - Charlotte Bronte | Shirley Keeldar, Caroline Helstone | I would really like a Shirley/Caroline romance. With some kind of happy ending. | |
| TaffySinclair | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Grant Ward | I am a sucker for competence. I ship it a little, but I'd love anything that features these two--or just Melinda, if you'd prefer. | letter |
| TaffySinclair | The Following | Emma Hill | Oh, this is the current fandom of my heart. I am still devastated about poor Debra Parker, but I also love Emma and there is a serious dearth of fic about her. I'm not that interested in her relationship with Jacob, but feel free to include any other characters! | letter |
| TaffySinclair | Red 2 (2013) | Victoria Winslow (Red 2), Han Cho Bai | Competent people, being competent (killers) together! What happens next? (I ship it a little, but that's not mandatory.) | letter |
| TaffySinclair | Haven | Jordan McKee | I adore Jordan and would love a story from her perspective. | letter |
| ahanrien | The Heat (2013) | Shannon Mullins, Sarah Ashburn | I would love to see one of the usual fanfiction tropes for cop/detectives shows applied to them, something really trope-y, like woke-up married or sudden animal transformation. Gen/friendship and f/f are both fine. Can be fun and light or serious, I'll love both. You can see my Dear Yuletide Author letter for additional information, which I'll add next week, if you want/need those. :) | letter |
| ahanrien | Gravity (2013) | Ryan Stone | I'd absolutely love a post-movie scene, right after what we saw and the movie stops - how Ryan is being treated, her first thoughts when she is walking again, how she tells people what happens, do they even ask, is she in shock? Outsider!POV would work here as well, I think, but I'll love absolutely anything about her. If you need additional information, I'll fill out my Dear Yuletide Author letter next week. :) | letter |
| ahanrien | The Three Investigators | Die drei ??? - Various Authors | Bob Andrews, Jupiter Jones | Justus Jonas, Pete Crenshaw | Peter Shaw | I'd love to know more about the boys outside their detective work, beyond what we are shown. Not so much girlfriends/near family stuff, but how they went to school, where they work, how they deal with buying groceries or cars, how neighbours view them and how their detective work is tied into that and who they are away from it. Outside!POV could work well here as well, I guess, it also doesn't have to include all three of them actively. If you need more information, see the Dear Yuletide Author letter, which I'll fill out next week. :) | letter |
| ahanrien | Monsters University (2013) | Mike Wazowski, James P. "Sulley" Sullivan | If you are up for it, I'd really love to see either Mike or Sully as trans* in however way you want to spin it; is there a support group at university? Which part of the Monsters Uni world makes being trans* easier, which part makes it harder? Is it even an issue, with all the different monsters around? Alternatively, if that is not for you, maybe one of the scenes from the credits written out where they are working their way up, and Mike or Sully in doubt, if they are ever going to make it, with how much work they have to do. If you need more details, see my Dear Author Letter, which I'll fill out later next week. :) |

| aichara | Rockman X | Mega Man X | Gate (Rockman X), Alia (Rockman X) | Please see Dear Yuletide Letter for ideas and ramblings and such; I'll just note here that I have no problem with other characters popping up in the story. I'm also not interested in porn, kinks or issuefic (see letter for details). A few ideas: Alia and Gate from their days as researchers and coworkers; or, Alia (successfully?) working to save Gate's life after the Nightmare Incident ... Romantic ties between them is fine -- |

I'm also not interested in porn, kinks or issuefic (see letter for details). A few ideas: Further exploration of Blues' wanderings before he became Break Man; tangling with Stardroids or others in the various future-glimpses from the Rock of Ages story ... |
letter |
| aichara | Robotech Novels - Jack McKinney | Zor Prime (Robotech Novels - Jack McKinney) | Please see Dear Yuletide Letter for ideas and ramblings and such; I'll just note here that I have no problem with other characters popping up in the story. I'm also not interested in porn, kinks or issuefic (see letter for details). A few ideas: Zor somehow survives the destruction of the mothership -- does he wander? Somehow keep himself together and hook up with a resistance group when the Invid arrive? Or, what was his point of view on being tossed in with the Fifteenth? |
letter |
| aichara | Tomorrow's Sphinx - Clare Bell | Tutankhamen (Tomorrow's Sphinx), Asu-Kheknemt | Please see Dear Yuletide Letter for ideas and ramblings and such; I'll just note here that I have no problem with other characters popping up in the story. I'm also not interested in porn, kinks or issuefic (see letter for details). A few ideas: Hunting trips! The dual-souled bond between them developing, and antics they could have caused with it! Late night research at the House of the Swift ... |
letter |
| akadainmate | Whitechapel (TV) | Joseph Chandler, Ray Miles | Hurt/Comfort, gen or slash, I would love a post-episode or extra-scene type fic. | letter |
| akadainmate | Onmyouji | The Yin-Yang Master (Movies) | Abe no Seimei Minamoto no Hiromasa | Gen or slash, hurt/comfort preferred, very interested in anything emphasising Seimei's magic and Hiromasa's fascination, as well as fear, of it | letter |
| akadainmate | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | Stephen Maturin, Jack Aubrey | Hurt/Comfort, gen or slash, I would love to see a survival story, or something with them being old men together. | |
| akadainmate | Gintama | Sakata Gintoki, Katsura Kotarou | Hurt/comfort, if you can make it work, slash if at all possible but will take friendship. Something set in the Joui era war, with the two of them fighting together, would be adored, but will take anything! | |
| akadainmate | Plunkett and Macleane (1999) | Will Plunkett, James Macleane | Hurt/comfort, gen or slash, for these two I will take anything you're willing to write! | |
| ake_liberties | X-Men (movies) RPF | Ian McKellen (X-Men (Movies) RPF), Patrick Stewart (X-Men (Movies) RPF) | Ideally: gen hijinks! Just any gen hijinks of them running around Coney Island, running around London, running around THE WORLD, IN SPACE!, IN MIDDLE-EARTH! Just best bros forever and ever. I would love something based on the delightfulness that Patrick Stewart has been tweeting all over the place lately, but you could also make it about the wedding weekend, or something set while they were filming the X-Men movies, or even earlier in their careers. If you want to go in a shippy direction, that works for me too, but please no intentional bashing of any other people with whom they might be romantically connected. |
letter |
| ake_liberties | After Earth (2013) | Senshi Raige, Kitai Raige | I'd love more exploration of Senshi as a character, something set in the time of the flashbacks. I want to get a feel of her place in the family and how their lives were while she was still around. If you want to go an incesty or pre-incesty route, I would LOVE that - would prefer Kitai aged up a bit in that situation, though. |
letter |
| ake_liberties | BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show RPF | Showbot (Breakfast Show RPF) | Breakfast team hijinks! Any breakfast team hijinks that involve the team on-air, off-air, at karaoke, on the road for one of their tours, at a festival with Noel Gallagher, #EducatingGrimmy, playing football against Rizzle Kicks, anything fun and bantery. I really love Showbot, and I'd love something where she features or appears, which is why I requested her, but if you don't think you can do her justice or work her in, then feel free to dispense with her. |
letter |
| ake_liberties | Folgers "Home for the Holidays" Commercial | Brother (Folgers commercial), Sister (Folgers commercial) | This is an incest request. Brother/sister reunion sexytimes. If you can't do that, please follow your own heart and write what you'd most enjoy writing! |

| amarind (rogue) | The Pirates' Mixed-Up Voyage - Margaret Mahy | I would seriously love anything you could write for this fandom. Any of the nominated characters (Doom and destiny! Rumblebumpkin!), a story of any of the Thousand Islands, a fish encyclopedia, or all the gingerbread you can stomach. If you want a starting point, try Island Eight Hundred and Eighty-Eight! | letter | |
| amarind (rogue) | Munchkin Cthulhu (Board Game) | The Cultist (Munchkin Cthulhu) | Please feel free to infuse your request with as much eldritch horror or complete ridiculousness as possible. I love everything about Munchkin, and Cthulhu is by far my favorite variety. Go as broad or as narrow as you like in examining Innsmouth. No actual Lovecraft required, just a llove of Lloyd Lloiger. (Yuk!) | letter |
| amarind (rogue) | Nashville (TV) | Rayna Jaymes | Rayna. Rayna being awesome. Yeah. That's pretty much it. I would gladly read either happy or dysfunctional 'ship fic (het or femslash, I'm good either way) or gen fic about Rayna being her amazing wonderful self. Other favorite characters are Juliette, Scarlett and Will but I am going to be thrilled with anything! :) | letter |
| amarind (rogue) | Sky High (2005) | Layla Williams, Warren Peace, Will Stronghold | Layla is my favorite character, but Warren is a photo-finish second and I also dearly love Will. So a focus on any of the main characters would be fine! I'm happy with all sorts of fic for this fandom, but I would love something that balanced the silliness of the world with its earnest, occasionally After-School-Special feel. | letter |
| Tam_Cranver | Rush (2013) | Marlene Lauda (Rush), Niki Lauda (Rush), James Hunt (Rush), Suzy Miller (Rush) | I'd really like something about Marlene, and her life either at or away from the racetrack. Whether this means her take on events in the movie, or what she's doing during those big time skips, or what she does in an alternate universe, I'd just like more Marlene. | letter |
| Tam_Cranver | Ladyhawke (1985) | Philippe Gaston, Etienne Navarre, Isabeau d'Anjou | I've always been very curious about what Philippe's post-movie life might have been like. After helping break the curse, where does he go from there? | |
| Tam_Cranver | The Fosters (TV 2013) | Lena Adams, Stef Foster | I would love some pre-show Lena/Stef, whether that's about how they first got together, or what it was like making it work with Brandon after Stef got divorced, or the early days when they took in Jesus and Mariana. Or alternately, a present-day story about them being an adorable family would be awesome, too. | |
| Tam_Cranver | Ever After (1998) | Danielle de Barbarac, Jacqueline de Ghent, Marguerite de Ghent, Rodmilla de Ghent | Danielle and Henry are an awesome couple, but I would love to read something that's about her relationships with the other important people in her life, whether that's a pre-movie story about her life with her stepmother, stepsisters, and the servants on the estate, or a story about her friendship with Gustave, or a post-movie story about her developing friendship with Jacqueline, or maybe even a story about how she got the King and Queen to accept her as a daughter-in-law. | |
| Tangerine | Final Fantasy XI | General Rughadjeen (FFXI), General Gadalar (FFXI) | Rughadjeen is, like, the NPC love of my life. I would like anything with him. If you can manage it, Galadar/Rughadjeen slash would be awesomecakes, but if you can't, some background on Rughadjeen would be appreciated. Or a day-in-a-life sort of thing. I would, however, appreciate some blatant Rudhadjeen nudity. | letter |
| Tangerine | Cargo (Short Film) | Rosie (Cargo) | o this short film destroyed me. Like, I cried for ten minutes after it, because ROSIE. I want to know she's okay -- whether it's when she's still little, or when she's grown up in such a terrible world. I also want to know if her daddy left her with anything by which to remember him and her mommy. (SOB). | letter |
| Tangerine | The Survivors' Club - Mary Balogh | Vincent Hunt, Martin Fisk | If you can manage it, I would love some Vincent/Martin H/C. Or non-H/C. That's cool, too. But if not, friendship fic, please. If possible, from Martin's POV. He's been Vincent's BFF for years, and supported him through some pretty terrifying stuff, and I want to know what it was like for him (especially knowing he's a completely separate support system from the Survivors' Club for Vincent). | letter |
| Tangerine | X-Factor (Comics) | Shatterstar (X-Factor Comics), Julio Richter (X-Factor Comics) | I go crazy for trope fic with these guys. Or anything with these guys. I'm still annoyed we never really got even a hint of the sexy reunion of these guys. I just wanted a hint! So I would totally settle for more than a hint now. Or, like, anything, really. I just heart these guys something fierce. | letter |
| Tangerine | Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman | Hank Lawson (Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman), Jake Slicker | Hank is my dude. I love him. Slash would be great, but Hank being Hank would be fine, too. I always wondered if it bothered him that the other people who actually seemed to like him were his grandmother (that ep was the first time I cried watching TV) and Myra (and that was so complicated). | letter |
| TanyaReed | Jolene (Song) - Dolly Parton | Narrator (Jolene - Dolly Parton (Song)) | This has been one of my favorite songs for a long time, and I always thought that it would make a great story. I'd like to have a story about the narrator and possibly her confrontation with Jolene. (Though if you can think of something else about the song that inspires you, I'll take that as well. This is why I only chose The Narrator for character, so you would have the flexibility to interpret the song as you saw fit. As long as it deals with her and how she handles the situation, I'll leave the rest up to you. | letter |
| TanyaReed | Remington Steele (TV) | Remington Steele, Laura Holt | I like dramatic stories with these two. Something that deals with their feelings. It doesn't even have to be their feelings about each other. I like these two both as friends and as a romantic pairing. Maybe you could deal with a traumatic event in one of the character's pasts and how the other helps them deal with the memory. | letter |
| TanyaReed | Earth 2 | Devon Adair, John Danziger | I'm dying for a Devon/John story from near the beginning that deals with both their conflict and their developing feelings for each other. | letter |
| TanyaReed | The Nanny | Niles (The Nanny), C.C. Babcock | I am really in love with this pairing right now. I just love them to pieces. I've always been a sucker for characters who thought they didn't like each other and then ended up in love...and Niles and CC do this better than most. I've got to tell you, pretty much any kind of story featuring the two of them would be welcomed. Stories I like most are ones where they get together or ones where they are already together, and how happy it has made them. Saying that, I'm going to like whatever you write, if it features these two. I know I will. Any rating is also welcome, though I have a strong aversion to rape, fetishes, and pretty much anything you have to warn for. My tastes are very vanilla. | letter |
| anyart | Slow Starter (Manga) | Ino (Slow Starter), Kiyomiya (Slow Starter) | I am so desperate for anything about these two being sweet on each other and navigating their relationship, whether just beginning or moving slow into something more intimate. Really aything will do, I love these two so much. PWP is fine as well! | letter |
| anyart | Eyeshield 21 | Patrick "Panther" Spencer, Kobayakawa Sena | If going for a romantic route: cute dates or visits to each other's respective homes, exploring non-football related hobbies. Platonic route: supportive rivalries, cheering each other on, maybe Sena visiting Pather's grandma! |
letter |
| anyart | Gentleman Bastard Sequence - Scott Lynch | Stephen Reynart, Sofia Salvara, Lorenzo Salvara, Calo Sanza | In the aftermath of the events in Lies of Locke Lamora, perhaps the Salvaras inherit Reynart along with their newly acquired titles as the Spider, and Reynart has to show them the ropes! Or a consensual PWP threesome would be just as fine as well! (The Salvaras charmingly ganging up on an equally charming Reynart is a thing I would heartily endorse!) OR IF WRITING ABOUT THE SANZA TWINS: Anything about a supportive and loving sibling relationship will make me so happy. If the Yuletide writer has already read Republic of Thieves, I would forever love a story about their loyalty test into the Gentleman Bastards. No incest please! |

| anyart | Ao no Exorcist | Blue Exorcist | Suguro "Bon" Ryuuji, Okumura Rin | Get together fic and/or something that highlights their friendship and rivalry and respect for each other. Of course, I wouldn't be opposed to established relationship fic either. :) | letter |
| Tassos | Lewis (TV) | James Hathaway, Robert Lewis (Lewis) | No slash between Hathaway and Lewis please. I love Hathaway and Lewis's friendship. I'd love something post-series with Hathaway trying to figure out what to do with his life. | letter |
| Tassos | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV) | I'd like a story with either Oliver, Diggle, and Felicity OR Oliver, Shado, and Slade. A just Oliver story would be fine too, as would one with Oliver and Thea, or Oliver and Tommy. I'd love a story exploring how Oliver has changed, either on the island or when he's back, and how it affects his relationships on a more personal level than what we get to see. | letter |
| Tassos | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Abbie Mills Jennifer Mills | Gen please. I love these characters so any interaction between them, Abbie and Jenny figuring out where they stand with each other (Sisters!), Ichabod growing into his friendships with them and what challenges there might be. Ichabod confronting the modern world in his understated way would also be awesome. | letter |
| Tassos | Copper | Kevin Corcoran | Preferred optional characters: Annie Reilly and/or Matthew Freeman and/or Robert Morehouse. Something post series, perhaps. Does Corky meet Annie again when she's older? What happens when Corky, Matthew and Robert's lives start up again in New York? I love their friendships. Bonus points for time travel crossovers. | letter |

| Teaotter | Imaro - Charles Saunders | Tanisha (Imaro) | I adore Tanisha. I love her ferocity and her stubbornness. I love her gentleness. And I love the fact that she can more than keep up, even in what is very much a man's world. | letter |
| Teaotter | Nicole Shea series - Chris Claremont | Judith Canfield, Nicole Shea, Hanako Murai | First off, if you'd rather write *one* of these women rather than all of them? Go ahead. These are people who've been through a lot, together and separately, and I'd just love to see more of them. Backstory? Futurefic? | letter |
| Teaotter | The Quantum Thief - Hannu Rajaniemi | Isidore Beautrelet (The Quantum Thief), The Gentleman (The Quantum Thief) | I lost my heart in The Oubliette, and I utterly adore these two. That said, if you'd rather write anything else set there, even if it doesn't have them in it -- by all means, do so! I'm fascinated by the way the living and the non-living interact, gogols, AIs, gevulot, the Quiet, the interpenetration of what we think of as people and machines (though the lines aren't quite so clear there, are they?) | letter |
| Teaotter | no-one has to die. (Video Game) | I love time loops, and the concept of alternate universes, and the idea of what these characters must have gone through on their way from one to the next. | letter | |
| TeaRoses | Inspector Sejer Mysteries - Karin Fossum | Konrad Sejer, Jacob Skarre | These books are great, and I find myself liking Sejer and his life as much as the mysteries he tries to solve. I've always liked the dynamic between Sejer and Skarre. I find it rather slashy -- they seem very attached to one another and I believe Skarre in one book says something about how they don't need to get married because they have each other. But if you'd rather write a fic about them being friends and colleagues than a slash fic, I'd like that just as much. [More in letter...] |
letter |
| TeaRoses | Black Jack (Anime & Manga) | Black Jack | The world needs more Black Jack fic and anything you want to write about him would be very awesome. I'm not even sure what kind of possibilities to mention here because he's done everything I can think of in canon: exploring the world, healing the sick, failing to heal the sick, epidemics, tragedies, self-surgery... anything you can think of is a possibility and I'd read it all gladly. Something not even directly connected with medicine is also good: adventures, domesticity, humor, whatever works for you. [More in letter...] |
letter |
| TeaRoses | Silent Hill 3 (Video Game) | Heather Mason (Silent Hill 3), Douglas Cartland (Silent Hill 3) | Really anything about those two would be great -- how did they deal with what they went through? Did they have further adventures and fight more monsters or did they stay home because like hell were they going to go through that again? Did they ever open up to each other, beyond what we saw in canon? [More in letter...] |
letter |
| TeaRoses | Die Ärzte | Farin Urlaub, Bela B | I chose Farin and Bela because I do like Farin/Bela slash and I didn't want a romantic OT3 with Rod even though I love Rod. However! I would be equally happy with a gen fic. Maybe one featuring wacky hijinks? An AU, even a silly AU, would be really fun too, as long they are still recognizable as themselves. That's just a possibility that occurs to me though, if you'd prefer a more serious, closer-to-real-life approach I'll love that too. [More in letter...] |
letter |
| TeaRoses | Pumpkin Scissors | Alice L. Malvin, Randel Oland | I love these two so much it isn't even funny. Randel's gentleness and fear of his own strength, Alice's steel will... they're an amazing combination. I've pretty much shipped them since the opening credits, though a fic where they're friends/comrades-in-arms is equally welcome of course -- they have a great dynamic either way. [More in letter...] |
letter |
| TeaRoses | ゆめゆめ煌々堂 | Yume Kira Dream Shoppe (Manga) | Rin (Yume Kira Dream Shoppe) | I love all the characters but the mysterious Rin is my favorite. Here are some possibilities: So, where did Rin come from and how did she become Rin? Was she a human living on Earth? A fantasy creature of some kind? Or... what does Rin think of her life? Is she happy taking care of all those who come to her? Does she have any wishes of her own? [More in letter...] |

| hofthegale | Watchmen (2009) | Rorschach (Watchmen 2009), Silk Spectre (Watchmen 2009), Ozymandias (Watchmen 2009), Nite Owl (Watchmen 2009) | I really like the character of Rorschach, so anything from his POV (third person please) would warm my heart. You can write slash, gen... anything, I don't care, just write me a story with Rorschach being Rorschach and creeping around. Cross-overs welcome! | letter |
| hofthegale | The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner | I really like this entire mythos, so whatever characters you choose to star are fine by me. Some favorite genres of mine are angst and hurt/comfort. Write slash, gen, het, anything you want... | letter | |
| hofthegale | Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro | Tommy D. (Never Let Me Go), Kathy H. (Never Let Me Go), Ruth (Never Let Me Go), Madame (Never Let Me Go) | Femslash, gen, het, angst, and hurt/comfort are things I love. Write any of them and make my day! Some ideas... I would love a missing scene from childhood, or what happens after the event of the novel. |
letter |
| hofthegale | The Miseducation of Cameron Post - Emily M. Danforth | Cameron Post, Irene Klausen, Coley Taylor | o this is one book that ends with a huge gaping rift where closure should be. Write me some closure for Cam, please! | letter |
| inte | Lymond Chronicles - Dorothy Dunnett | I need a bit more time to flesh out these sporadic ideas (and they will be on my journal when the time comes) But in terms of prompts, I love the women in Lymond possibly more than the men and that is a whole lot of love going on. I am open to basically anything save extreme violence toward any of the women in the series. I would love to see a younger Lymond and Christian or even childhood stories of Lymond and Richard - that progression of how they became what they are now would be lovely. | letter | |
| inte | Christian Bible (New Testament) | John the Apostle, Simon Peter, Jesus Christ (Christian Bible) | I was a religious studies major in college and I will never not be fascinated by Christian texts, canonical or apocryphal. I think this is probably going to be a running theme but I would love to read something about the missing years. | letter |
| inte | Christian Bible (Old Testament) | ALL OF THE WOMEN ARE SO INTERESTING. I had to write that in all caps because honestly, who gets the short end of the stick more than these amazing woman? Who? | letter | |
| inte | Archer (Cartoon) | Sterling Archer, Lana Kane, Pam Poovey, Cheryl Tunt | Ugh I adore Pam Poovey with an intensity that I do not think can be matched. Also Lana. Also Cheryl. I would honestly be happy with absolutely any of the characters but I wanted to highlight these ladies because they are so great and of course them getting to one-up Archer in any way, shape or form is an ideal situation. Like with all of my requests, the only thing I cannot stomach is extreme gratuitous violence against any of these badass ladies but humor, nonsensical slice of life things would be grand! | letter |
| Temaris | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Jennifer Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), August Corbin | I would very much like some backstory, Jenny & the Sheriff, Abbie & Jenny, Ichabod and Katrina, Ichabod changing loyalties (please don't get bogged down in the historical unless you already know the era!). I'm not a slasher in this fandom (the Headless Horseman isn't really doing it for me ;) ), so if you fancy a little Ichabod/Katrina, or Katrina reaching into Abbie's dreams, or even OT3, dream,scape or real, I wouldn't say no :g: I really like the way the show has been so very careful with Ichabod's knowledge of the world being tied to his life in the 18th C, and would love some snarky culture shock :) | letter |
| Temaris | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf RPF), Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf RPF) | RPF or RPS, happy endings hobrien would be like catnip and candy. Perhaps after Dylan comes back to the TW set after doing Mazerunner, looking considerably fitter and more grownup :) | letter |
| Temaris | Magids Series - Diana Wynne Jones | Roddy Hyde, Nick Mallory, Maxwell Hyde, Romanov (Magids Series) | Would really like to see some more set in Blest, with the old magic that Roddy acquired, and the British mythology. Not hugely interested in the Magid side of things, per se, but I would love to know how the Lady is going to work with a magid, if Nick and Roddy do end up together (or even more so if they don't...) | letter |
| Temaris | Elementary (TV) | Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Joan Watson (Elementary), Alfredo Llamosa | If you have it in your heart to do a story about breaking into cars, misunderstandings, near arrests and Joan side eyeing the pair of them, with crooks and cleverness and deduction, I would be very grateful. | letter |
| mplemarker | Kinky Boots (2005) | Simon | Lola | Not all the characters were listed here, so use this prompt as you will. In both the film and the Broadway show (albeit a little more on the Broadway version) it really felt like something was left on the table, some affirmation of Charlie and Lola's real friendship. Or mutual interest, depending on how you swing with them. I would really love a post-script, post-catwalk story that investigates what their lives working together (living together?) in Northampton at Price & Sons (do they change it to Price & Co?) is like. Do they fall for each other? Are they just really close? Just, more. More of them. | letter |
| mplemarker | The Losers (2010) | Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez, Jake Jensen | I love them, as friends or as boyfriends. Maybe on a mission, or on a vacation that goes wrong? I just want to read about their interactions with each other, in a domestic situation or a tense situation, whatever you're keen to write. | letter |
| mplemarker | The Good Wife (TV) | Alicia Florrick | For me, a Good Wife story begins and ends with Alicia; but you have wide latitude for where you want to go with it, from me. Alicia/Kalinda? So right there with you. Relationship start, established relationship, friendship? Yes yes and yes. Alicia + Cary, figuring out who they are to each other as colleagues and friends, actually getting on the same page, arguing and disagreeing but figuring out how to come to the table with each other --- totally. Anything with Alicia will make me happy, seriously. |
letter |
| mplemarker | Vikings (TV) | Ragnar Lothbrok, Lagertha (Vikings), Athelstan (Vikings) | Threesome highly preferred. It can be domestic, or racy hot porn, or anything in between. I would just love to read more about the balance between them all. | letter |
| mporarily_lost_at_sea | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | William Laurence, John Granby, Langford James, Jane Roland | omething cute and funny. It would be cool if the line "If you're referring to the incident with the dragon (or the cow), I was barely involved" was used at some point in the story. | |
| mporarily_lost_at_sea | Hornblower (TV) | Horatio Hornblower (Hornblower TV), Edward Pellew (TV) | omething cute and fluffy with daddy!Pellew:) | |

| hankyouturtle | 紅色HERO | Crimson Hero | Noda Kanako, Shima Ryo, Shima Fumi | What does Noda do after school? I'd love a story about her future — whether she continues with volleyball, returns to high jump, or does something else completely with her life. | letter |
| hankyouturtle | Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper | Jane Drew, Bran Davies aka Pendragon, Simon Drew | I'd love something about these three set after the series — sweet or everyday or fantastical. What do they do with their lives, and how do their relationships change as they grow? | letter |
| hankyouturtle | IT Crowd | I'd love a fic that manages to carry on the creative mix of realism and silliness of the TV show — the every day boredom of working in a tedious, unappreciated job with the increasingly bizarre situations the characters find themselves in. I especially love it when everyone is too absorbed in their own problems to notice that something really big is happening — make of that what you will! | letter | |
| hankyouturtle | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Merric of Hollyrose, Nealan of Queenscove, Roald II of Conté | I'd love fic that focuses on one — or all — of these characters in a way that explores their backstories and characters more. Neal and Roald I'd especially love to see pre-Kel — did they spend time together at the palace as children, and how does their relationship stand before Kel enters the scene? | letter |
| hankyouturtle | Sadler's Wells - Lorna Hill | Caroline Scott, Angelo Ibanez | Caroline and Angelo's developing relationship after No Castanets — how does Caroline cope in a foreign country, and how does her family cope with her chosen career? | letter |

| hatbroadcast | Pacific Rim (2013) RPF | Charlie Day (Pacific Rim RPF), Burn Gorman (Pacific Rim RPF) | Man, I literally do not care where you go with this. I'd prefer slash, if you can swing it, and preferably a feel-good type of story. But LBR not a single piece of fanfic exists for this ship and you will make my year if you write some. :)! | |
| hatbroadcast | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Marcus Bell | I'm totally ok with you focusing on any one of these characters, though I do have a preference for Joan/Sherlock or Joan/Irene. Or even Joan/Sherlock/Irene, go wild! | |

| hatbroadcast | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Leo Fitz | Any sort of team-oriented adventure would be great! | |
| The Blue Escapist (theblueescapist) | Alexander Senki | Reign: The Conqueror | Alexander (Alexander Senki), Philotas (Alexander Senki) | I love character-centric pieces, and my favourite characters are Alexander and Philotas, so anything about their relationship, gen or slash, would make me really happy. | |
| The Blue Escapist (theblueescapist) | Chaos Rings (Video Games) | Escher (Chaos Rings), Musiea (Chaos Rings) | I'd love something in their original scenario, showing how they deal with each other, either if they get thrown back in time or if they defeat the Qualia. Both gen or explicit welcome! | |
| The Blue Escapist (theblueescapist) | Wish (Manga) | Kouryuu (Wish), Kohaku (Wish) | Can Kouryuu get Kohaku and keep him without destroying him? I'd love either a speculative piece about Kouryuu wondering what he'd do with Kohaku if he had him, or an actual plotty -or even humorous- piece showing how Kouryuu could go about getting Kohaku. Both gen or explicit welcome, but please no non-con, this is fluffy Wish after all. Alternatively, I love character-centric pieces, so anything exploring Kouryuu's personality would be awesome. |
|
| The Blue Escapist (theblueescapist) | WALL-E (2008) | M-O (WALL-E), WALL-E, EVE (WALL-E) | I'd love a M-O centric character piece, preferably one where he keeps having to clean up after WALL-E and setting up romantic rendez-vous with EVE for his friend. Basically, M-O being his usual awesome self! :) | |
| hebluejay | The Outlaws of Sherwood - Robin McKinley | I would love something about Will and Cecily. In the book, Will misunderstands her really badly, when he thinks she's going to give in to their father and leaves; how did that come to be, when they seem to have been so close? And how did they sort this out? And did Marion have to hit anyone first? Alternately, anything that goes on "behind the scenes" during the book. Little John settling in; Marion complaining about Robin to Much; what happens in Palestine after the book; the reaction in town to Robin getting outlawed and to everything that follows; or really whatever you want that fits with the general spirit of canon. I'm not sure if this needs saying in this fandom, but I might as well: I'm an adult, a little sex or violence won't freak me out, but there's a point where I'd appreciate a fade-to-black. I would by far prefer that you err on the G-rated side of things, if you're not sure. That's not to say that I don't read explicit fics, I do, but gratuitous sex that contributes nothing to the characterization bores me very quickly. |
letter | |
| hebluejay | Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells | I'd really, really love a story about Shade. My favorite parts of the books are Moon and Shade's interactions. (I'm running out of time, so see further details in my livejournal) |

| hecarlysutra | Thunderheart (1992) | Ray Levoi | I would love a story about Ray and Crow Horse and their hijinks (and eternal love), but failing that, I would love just something about Ray's backstory, his undercover work, his family, his life before going out to the rez. | letter |
| hecarlysutra | Rabiosa - Shakira (Music Video) | Blonde (Rabiosa), Brunette (Rabiosa) | I am so intrigued by this video. Who are these women? Are they the same woman? Do they know each other? Are they twins that have taken very different paths in life? | letter |
| hecarlysutra | Top Gun (1986) | Tom "Iceman" Kazansky | I ship Iceman with pretty much everyone on the planet, but I'd really like something meaty and darkish about his past. Or future. I'd like an introspective character piece, which I realize is asking a lot from this fandom, but it's Yuletide so my hopes are up. | letter |
| hecarlysutra | Spartan (2004) | Bobby Scott, Laura Newton | I would love a story about how Laura Newton regards Scott after her rescue. Does she try to find out who he is? Does she try to find him? Vindicate him? I'm not necessarily looking for 'shipping, here, just the (non-romantic/sexual) relationship between these two characters. | letter |
| hedevilchicken | Monkey Island | Guybrush Threepwood | What I'd really like is basically just Guybrush being his usual odd but slightly awesome self, which may or may not involve monkeys or saving the Caribbean from LeChuck (again). See my letter for more details on what I like in this fandom! | letter |
| hedevilchicken | Batgirl (Comics) | Stephanie Brown (Batgirl), Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) | I loved this series mostly for Steph and Babs - the two of them kicking ass in Gotham while the other bats are away would be fantastic. If you prefer something less case-based, I'd enjoy something where Steph and Babs interact as Steph and Babs rather than as Batgirl and Oracle (whether that's saving the day as civilians, Steph taking Babs' class in college, babysitting Damian or something else entirely is up to you!). | letter |
| hedevilchicken | Priest (2011) | Priest (Priest), Priestess (Priest) | What I'd really, really like is for these two to eventually end up together, sometime post-film, but without excessive fluff ensuing. Failing that, worldbuilding and what-comes-next is awesome: tell me about their society, about what happens after the movie ends or about the lives of the priests pre-film. | letter |
| hedevilchicken | Dollhouse | Echo (Dollhouse), Alpha (Dollhouse) | Basically, anything that involves both Echo and Alpha would be great. Whether that's pre-, mid- or post-series is up to you, as is whether that's a team-up, some kind of slightly twisted relationship or as enemies. I do have a soft spot for Echo/Alpha but that's definitely not a requirement! | letter |
| hedevilchicken | Jurassic Park (Movies) | Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler | Alan and Ellie pre-movies (or post-movies, if it's more bittersweet than angsty) would be great here! If you prefer not to go too shippy, tell me something about how they lived before Jurassic Park, or about how they coped after it. | letter |
| hedevilchicken | Olympus Has Fallen (2013) | Mike Banning, Benjamin Asher | I would, quite unashamedly, like Banning/Asher slash for this one; angst is fine, but a reciprocated physical attraction would be very much the preference. If you prefer not to write slash, Mike-centric fic about his life before working with President Asher (or what happens after Asher's saved) would be very much appreciated. | letter |
| TheDivineGoat | Glitch (Video Game) | Ghost of Gwendolyn, Forehorseman, Esquibeth of Inari, Phantom Glitch | I miss Glitch so, so much. I love everything about this game and would be so happy for any stories in this world. Feel free to include any other characters and go wherever you want. Pre-game close, post-game close I don't mind, just give me some hope in there. | letter |
| TheDivineGoat | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Jennifer Mills, Captain Frank Irving | Like most of fandom I have fallen hard for this show. I ideally like gen, but I'd be happy with Poly fic that includes Katrina. I love Abbie and Jenny being Sisters, Ichabod being a rare non-dickish hero, Captain Irving being enigmatic and of indeterminate morality. (But in my heart of hearts I'm hoping he's on the side of Angels. He's just so competent!). I just love of the absurdity of the show with a Headless Hessian toting a machine gun, where the Boston Tea Party was caused by a British guy working for the revolutionary forces to create a distraction, so he could retrieve a mystical object under the orders of George Washington. | letter |
| TheDivineGoat | The Middleman (TV) | Wendy Watson, Lacey Thornfield, The Middleman, Ida (The Middleman) | ||
| TheDivineGoat | Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor | L Stewart, CK Bryce, BY Bryce, The Spider (Bryce Manor) | I'm fairly confident you won't be familiar with this fandom, but do have a look at it because there is so much room to play here. Spider is an iPhone/iPod/iPad game by Tiger Aspect where no one really knows what the plot is except the developers, and they have stated clearly that they're not going to tell us one way or the other. The best we can do it piece together the clues and make our own stories. All we know is it was terribly sad. The walkthrough here - http://www.gamezebo.com/games/spider-secret-bryce-manor/walkthrough should give you everything you need to know. I love how detached the Spider is from the human drama, does she understand any of it? Maybe it's all meaningless to her, or maybe she understands all too well. Maybe she's seen it all before, or she saw something that we missed. Did BY go with CK on his collecting trips? Did they understand what was happening between their sons? How did L Stewart know the Bryces? Why did she marry R? (Did she marry R?) Did she love N? Who was she apart from another bone of contention between the brothers? Where was she by the time the spider started filling the house with cobwebs? I'm not wedded to any particular interpretation of the clues, so feel free to run wild. |

| TheDoodyPoo | Pushing Daisies | Charlotte Charles, Olive Snook, Lily Charles, Vivian Charles | o yes. I just miss this show so any good fic will make me happy. I ship chuck and olive so if you write anything that keeps that going I will love you forever. Really any lesbian fic will warm my heart. | |
| TheDoodyPoo | BioShock Infinite | Rosalind Lutece, Elizabeth (BioShock), Daisy Fitzroy | Just no booker/Elizabeth fic. I really wanted more interaction with Elizabeth and lutece or Elizabeth and fitzroy in the game, so any situation that combines these characters would be really awesome. | |
| TheDoodyPoo | Tomb Raider (Video Game 2013) | Lara Croft, sam nishimura | o I would love love love some Lara and Sam fic. I think they're love was so intense. I mean lara went through hell and back to save Sam and the game didn't even give us a frakkin kiss. So yes. If you feel like writing about this undying love I will hold in a position of honor in my heart for many moons. | |
| TheDoodyPoo | Orange is the New Black | Sophia Burset, Poussey Washington, Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson, Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren | Taystee and Poussey please!! They are just so cute together and I need their love to blossom. You can make that happen if you choose to be so kind. | |
| TheDoodyPoo | Grease (1978) | Danny Zuko, Kenickie | This is a favor for my partner. They would very much love to read some Danny/Kenickie fic. They are pretty serious about loving grease and that would make their whole life. | |
| heepiccek | Bloodlines Series - Richelle Mead | Adrian Ivashkov, Sydney Sage | I would love to see some sort of missing moments between these two, romantic or platonic, either in the current timeline of the books or in the future. Don't feel you have to include The Fiery Heart if you haven't read it yet! | letter |
| heepiccek | Heist Society Series - Ally Carter | Katarina Bishop, W.W. Hale the Fifth | I will be happy with absolutely anything that features these two as a couple (fluffy relationship fic is the best!) but: an AU for them would be amazing to see - mafia, college, Pacific Rim, I don't really mind, they're a ship that translates well for me. | letter |
| heepiccek | Happy Endings (TV) | Jane Kerkovich-Williams | I'm after a look at Jane pre- or post-show. If that means a Brad/Jane fic, awesome, if that's a look at Jane's relationship with any of the gang, also awesome, if it's Jane on her own: still awesome. | letter |
| heepiccek | Haven | Duke Crocker, Jennifer Mason (Haven) | I know Jennifer is new, but I am so on board with her and Duke as a couple. Duke helping her settle into Haven? Sold! Solo fic of either Duke or Jennifer is also totally fine with me. | letter |
| TheFierceBeast | Being Human (UK) | John Mitchell, George Sands, Hal Yorke | Hi, Thank you so much for considering writing for me! (Please bear with me too, this is my first Yuletide!) So in terms of what I really don't want - rape, non-con, het, character death, anything overly angsty or depressing (although dark is great so long as there's some form of resolution), character death. What I like - banter, dialogue, humour, UST, breaking UST, minute world-building details, domesticity. Prompts - I've always wanted to read Mitchell and Hal meeting at some point (obviously before Mitchell's vampire death!) so history fic (especially power struggle, standoffs and/or slash!) will be welcome, but anything with Mitchell and Hal or Mitchell and George involved would be just dandy x |
|
| TheFierceBeast | Green Wing | Sue White | Hi, Thank you so much for considering writing for me! (Please bear with me too, this is my first Yuletide!) So in terms of what I really don't want - rape, non-con, anything overly sexual but if you want to write some Sue White flirting with/tormenting Mac then that is fine by me, character death, anything overly angsty or depressing (although dark is great so long as there's some form of resolution), character death. What I like - banter, dialogue, humour Prompts - anything involving Sue White is just skippy! Any other characters welcome. |
|
| TheFierceBeast | Lucifer Box - Mark Gatiss | Lucifer Box, Christopher Miracle, Venus (Lucifer Box) | Hi, Thank you so much for considering writing for me! (Please bear with me too, this is my first Yuletide!) So in terms of what I really don't want - rape, non-con, het, anything overly angsty or depressing (although dark is great so long as there's some form of resolution), character death. What I like - banter, dialogue, UST, breaking UST, flowery prose, longing, romance, derring-do, swashbuckling. Prompts - Anything really, so long as it involves Lucifer being debonair and dashing around the time of The Vesuvius Club. I'd be interested in seeing Christopher developed as a character, or more Lucifer/Venus interaction, but apart from that - drama, gen, slash, cross-dressing - I'm ready for anything! x |
|
| TheFierceBeast | Stockholm Syndrome - Richard Rider | Lindsay Brown | Hi, Thank you so much for considering writing for me! (Please bear with me too, this is my first Yuletide!) So in terms of what I really don't want - rape, non-con, het, character death, anything overly angsty or depressing (although dark is great so long as there's some form of resolution), character death. What I like - banter, dialogue, humour, UST, breaking UST, minute world-building details, domesticity. Prompts - I'm a sucker for dangerous!Lindsay and scholar!Lindsay and basically anything to do with Lindsay keeping his seething sexy criminal self hidden under a veneer of respectability in public. I'd like to see the tiniest cracks appearing in the veneer, I'm talking veiled threat (of violence and/or a jolly good seeing-to!) between dusty bookshelves in a historic library kind of thing... do with that what you will, if you choose to! |
|
| TheFierceBeast | The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde | Dorian Gray (Picture of Dorian Gray), Basil Hallward | Hi, Thank you so much for considering writing for me! (Please bear with me too, this is my first Yuletide!) So in terms of what I really don't want - rape, non-con, het, anything overly angsty or depressing (although dark is great so long as there's some form of resolution), character death. What I like - banter, dialogue, UST, breaking UST, flowery prose, longing, romance. Prompts - I'm not gonna lie, all I really want is to read any and all permutations of Basil worshipping Dorian from afar for a very long time and then finally getting to be with him (romantically and/or sexually). Even if we know how this would ultimately end, please could someone write me something left hanging on a happy-ever-after, or at least with Basil being happy-for-now and unaware of the dark undertones of what is occurring because he's so absolutely blinded by adoration. Angst is fine, a good helping of UST and romance is finer! x |

| hefourthvine | Baseball RPF | Yasiel Puig, José Fernández | Oh god I just want to smoosh these guys together. Please smoosh them together. I love how neatly they've subverted the Rookie of the Year rivalry narrative, I love how adorable they are separately and together, and I love how much they mean to their communities. I'd love to see them paired up, whether in the present or the future; I'd also love to read something about what they mean to the Cuban-American community, or about how they interact away from the diamond, the media, and the fans. I'm a sucker for tropes and happy endings, and these guys seem perfect for both of those. However, I'm mostly interested in them as baseball players, so while AUs are great, I'd prefer it to be the kind where they still play. |
|
| hefourthvine | Basketball RPF | Larry Bird (Basketball RPF), Earvin "Magic" Johnson | Magic Johnson and Larry Bird soulbonded at the NCAA Championship in 1979. That is CANON. So what I want to know is - where did it go from there? What happened? How does that work, when you're playing against each other, when at least one of you is clearly fighting the bond, when you're such incredibly different human beings? There are lots of interesting possibilities here - Larry fighting the bond, the way it affected them and their game, how it drove them to play. Or there's Magic's HIV diagnosis and how they dealt with that. Or there's the question of dealing with marriage (to other people) and being soulbonded. Or you could talk about how they finally accepted the soulbond and what it's like now, being comfortable with it and each other, years after the fighting and the struggle finally ended. Just, anything. (And in case you're panicking: it doesn't have to be about a literal soulbond. They have SOME kind of bond, that much is clear; if you don't see it as a soulbond, go with whatever you do see it as.) I'm good with gen (just because you have a soulbond doesn't mean you have to have sex), slash, and poly. Just please do not erase their wives, particularly the amazing Cookie Johnson, or do straight-up infidelity. There's always gen, or setting the sex before the marriage, or spousal knowledge and consent (my favorite!), or spousal involvement. Or something else you come up with! LET THE MAGIC (hee!) OF BIRD AND JOHNSON GUIDE YOU, basically. |

| hefourthvine | Flotsam - David Wiesner | OH MY GOD WORLD-BUILDING PLEASE WORLD-BUILDING. Tell me more about this gorgeous, wonderful world. Beyond that, write about whatever you want - the kids who have had the camera in the past or who will have it in the future, or the kid who has it in the book. Write about the undersea world the camera documents - what are those octopuses up to? Who built the clockwork fish? Who lives on the back of the turtle? Where did those aliens come from, and what are the seahorses doing? Basically there's no page where you can't find questions I'd love to see answered. Or you could write about who made the camera and how this all got started. I genuinely don't care; I just want to see this world expanded, because I'm utterly entranced by it. | ||
| hefourthvine | Want You Bad - The Offspring (Song) | Narrator's Girlfriend (Want You Bad), Narrator (Want You Bad) | Okay, so I think we can agree no one signed up for this song expecting to write gen (although if you did, wow, just write whatever you had in mind, because you are clearly extremely creative and I want to read your vision). Basically, what I see here is a dude who needs to learn an important lesson about the difference between the surface and the interior. He's conflating how his girlfriend dresses with how kinky she is, and he thinks that how she acts out in the world is a reflection of how she will be in the bedroom. Which is obviously bullshit, and I want him to learn that. Or, to put it more succinctly: I want him to learn that she can dominate the fuck out of him and give him all the kink he yearns for while still looking and living exactly how she wants to, highlights and niceness and all. And if he'd rather she looked to the world the way she looks to him? Well, he's going to want a lot of things he doesn't get to have. But he's going to be happy with what she gives him. |

| hegirlwiththemouseyhair | Velvet Goldmine | Arthur Stuart, Curt Wild, Mandy Slade, Brian Slade | I particularly ship Curt/Arthur; that is my absolute OTP and I think those two could really balance each other out well and help each other - or have a terribly angsty time. Either works for this ship, and post movie or some AU where Arthur is younger works for me too. However, even if you don't write this ship I'd still be thrilled to just see new fic for this movie. | |

| helittlestbird | Slings & Arrows | Geoffrey Tennant, Anna Conroy | My favorite part of this show is the Shakespeare in Action - when Geoffrey gets excited about talking about the text; when the actors feel the words coming to life; when that swirly music starts up. I'd love to see a story where that happens. And I'd love to see something nice happening to Anna, because I like her :) Please see my Dear Yuletide letter for more. | letter |
| helittlestbird | The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern | My favorite characters are Poppet and Widget, but really, I'd just love anything set in the Circus. Please see my Dear Yuletide letter for more. | letter | |
| helittlestbird | Bunheads | Boo Jordan, Sasha Torres, Melanie Segal, Ginny Thompson | Boo is my favorite, but what I really love is the friendship among the four girls. Please see my Dear Yuletide letter for more. | letter |
| helittlestbird | Corner Gas | A while back, I had a wacky idea for a Corner Gas/Cthulhu crossover. I tried to write it myself with no success, but I'd love it if you could! More details in my Dear Yuletide letter | letter | |
| helittlestbird | Lizzie Bennet Diaries | Gigi Darcy, Jane Bennet (LBD) | They're just so NICE! Both of them! I'd love to see what would happen if they talked. How would they solve problems? Would there be anything in the world that could make them break their niceness? (More details in my Dear Yuletide letter :) | letter |
| Themistoklis | Page 23 (2011) | More info in my letter, but briefly: I love this canon because the world is so eerie and strange. I would love to see a story about either Blank Book Woman or the New Worker we meet at the end. Their backgrounds, what lead to them being in/joining the catalog, what living in the catalog does to their minds and memories, etc. Whatever aspect interests you the most. |
letter | |
| Themistoklis | The Light Princess - George MacDonald | More info in my letter, but briefly: Gravity lost is bad enough, but for it to be emotional as well was an interesting twist, and why I enjoy the story so much. I'd be happy with a story either about the Princess or Makemnoit. What was Makemnoit's childhood like to make her so mean? What lead her to magic? I'm also interested in the Princess's emotions. What was it like as a child: did she know that she was different? How did she feel about her childhood when she was "cured"? Alternatively, what kinds of things did she do as an adult after being cured? Did she learn sorcery like her aunt? |
letter | |
| Themistoklis | Twilight Zone | More info in my letter, but briefly: "Eye of the Beholder" is one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes. For Dr. Bernardi, I wonder what lead him into surgery and whether he has contact with patients afterwards. For the others, I'm really interested in what the childhoods of people who aren't "normal” tend to be like. I'd also be interested in an AU, if you want, where Janet's operation is successful, because I'm curious about how "ugly" people are reintegrated into society and whether a stigma follows them. Life in the exile village would also be really interesting if you would like to explore there. |
letter | |
| Themistoklis | The Tempest - Shakespeare | Miranda (The Tempest), Ariel (The Tempest) | More info in my letter, but briefly: I know this is an unusual combination of characters to request, but I've had to work with the play a few times now and always wish that it connected these two more (or at all). If you want to stick closer to the canon, I'd be curious to see a story where Ariel is commanded to do something for Miranda. If you don't mind venturing a bit more into AU territory, I'd love a story where they had some kind of relationship on the island. Basically, anything where they know each other — either with Prospero being aware of their knowledge or not — would make me happy. |
letter |
| henewradical | Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis | Colin Templer | I'd love to read more about Colin's transformation into this grown-up actual Knight In Shining Armor and how much it changed him in those years between "Blackout" and "All Clear". I didn't request any other characters, but I would love to see him interact with anyone. Post-"All Clear" fic would be lovely as well! | letter |
| henewradical | Heist Society Series - Ally Carter | W.W. Hale the Fifth, Katarina Bishop | I just want Kat and Hale being awesome and adorable, preferably while heist-ing, but I'm really open to wherever you want to take it. | letter |
| henewradical | The Dalemark Quartet - Diana Wynne Jones | Moril Clennesson | I'm so interested about what happened to Moril after Crown. I have so many questions! How does he evolve with all the changes in Dalemark? What does he do in the Uprising? What is his relationship with Mitt and the others? Answer any of those questions and I will be so happy! | letter |
| henewradical | Justified | Loretta McCready, Raylan Givens | I'm very concerned about what Loretta's future holds so I would absolutely love to see a story about her growing up. It would be great to see something about her adapting to life outside of Harlan, but I'd also be interested to see her get pulled back in to that world as well. I was really open with the characters here; I included Raylan because they're so a part of each other's stories, but please include whoever you would like. | letter |
| hepsychicclam | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf RPF), Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf RPF) | Hobrien. HOBRIEN. I cannot even with these two. I love how they are obviously such good friends, and how Hoechlin just adores Dylan. The SDCC interviews just killed me this year. I really just want anything with these two - texting, goofing off, traveling, on-set, sexy times...anything. I do prefer them to be together in some way shape or form, and it can be set at any time. *draws hearts around them* | letter |
| hepsychicclam | Boardwalk Empire | Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano | I love these two characters SO MUCH. I just want anything with them, but I want show fic, not historical RPF. While I find their real live fascinating, I don't care about that. I want something set within the confines of the tv show. | |
| hepsychicclam | Seihou Bukyou Outlaw Star | Outlaw Star | Gene Starwind, Tasogare no Suzuka | Twilight Suzuka, Melfina | THIS IS MY FAVORITE ANIME EVER. I've been requesting it every year, so maybe this year, lol. And if you've never watched it, author, YOU SHOULD IT'S GREAT. I love Gene so much, and I'd love to see something with him and Twilight Suzuka b/c I love their antagonistic-yet-we're-allies relationship. Or Gene and Melfina, because they are so sweet. | |
| hepsychicclam | Arrow (TV 2012) | Oliver Queen (Arrow TV), Felicity Smoak (Arrow TV), Thea Queen (Arrow TV), Roy Harper (Arrow TV) | THESE TWO. JUST. I don't like Laurel, I think she's boring, but Oliver/Felicity??? I love the team dynamic with Oliver/Felicity/Diggle, and I just think that is when Arrow is at its best. They are the heart of the show for me. I also love Thea/Roy and would love to see something with them. |
|
| herumjournals | Angels in America - Kushner | Prior Walter, Louis Ironson | I would love anything about the beginning of Prior and Louis's relationship, or something about how they navigate their friendship after it's over. | letter |
| herumjournals | Arrested Development | George Oscar 'Gob' Bluth, Tony Wonder | Pretty much anything about Gob and Tony being gay together and/or pretending to be gay would be awesome. | letter |
| herumjournals | Saturday Night Live | Stefon (Saturday Night Live), Seth Meyers (Saturday Night Live) | tefon + Seth forever! Pretty much anything that goes along with these two...like maybe Seth goes to a club with Stefon...or they go on their honeymoon...or they're just hanging out being funny together. | letter |
| herumjournals | Golden Age of Hollywood RPF | Cary Grant (Golden Age of Hollywood RPF), Randolph Scott (Golden Age of Hollywood RPF) | Would love some slashiness with Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, like from this article: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/dailymusto/2010/09/cary_grant_and.php Feel free to bring Jimmy Stewart and Katharine Hepburn into it too in some context, even though I didn't include them here. I loooove The Philadelphia Story. Even Cary/Jimmy would work for me :-) |

| herumjournals | Raised by Wolves Series - W. A. Hoffman | William Marsdale, Striker (Raised by Wolves Series - W. A. Hoffman), Pete (Raised by Wolves Series - W. A. Hoffman), Gaston (Raised by Wolves Series - W. A. Hoffman) | Basically anything from earlier in this series when everyone was gay and pirate-y (as opposed to taking place near the end when they have like 12 children and live on a commune). Something from Pete/Striker's early relationship (pre-series), or any scenes between Gaston/Will or with the 4 of them would be awesome! | letter |
| herumjournals | Literary Trysts It Gives Me Great Joy To Think About RPF | Walt Whitman (Literary Trysts), Oscar Wilde (Literary Trysts) | Basically just anything inspired by this article would bring joy to my slashy heart - http://the-toast.net/2013/09/17/oscar-wilde-and-walt-whitman-did-it/ | letter |
| TheSecondBatgirl | The Cat Ate My Gymsuit - Paula Danziger | I would love something that takes place after the book. Maybe a high school reunion? Or the characters going off to college? I said any character, and I meant it. If you want to write about Marcy's relationship with her family, that's great! What sort of job does Ms. Finney have after? Do Joel and Marcy ever reunite? How is the next school year? I love introspection if you just want to do something from the book from an alternate pov, or missing scenes. (I've read There's a Bat in Bunk Five, but if you haven't, that's totally fine! Feel free to completely ignore it.) |
letter | |
| TheSecondBatgirl | Magic Shop - Bruce Coville | I absolutely love this series, and would be happy with pretty much anything. Who is Mr. Elives and how did he get involved with the Magic Shop? A story from his pov as another child comes into the shop would be great. What about Hyacinth Priest? How did she meet Mr. Elives? Does Jennifer or Jeremy ever have another magic adventure? Feel free to include any of the other children, like Charlie or Juliet, but totally not necessary. | letter | |
| TheSecondBatgirl | DragonCon 2012 badge art | http://tinypic.com/r/2ens0ns/5 What is going on in this picture? Why is the girl being chased by a dragon and rider? Is she little red riding hood? I would love to know anything about this. |
letter | |
| TheSecondBatgirl | My Teacher Is an Alien - Bruce Coville | Broxholm (My Teacher Is an Alien), Hoo-Lan, Kreeblim (My Teacher Is an Alien) | I would love to know more about the teachers. How did they find life on Earth when they first got there? How has their opinions changed over time? Or, just them debating their teaching styles, and why they made the decisions they did. Or just a bit about life on the New Jersey would be fabulous. | letter |
| TheSecondBatgirl | The Cabin in the Woods (2011) | The Director (Cabin in the Woods), Hadley (Cabin in the Woods), Sitterson (Cabin in the Woods) | What is a normal day like working for the facility? Is the Director really one of the final girls? How do they choose the sacrifices? What do they do for the rest of the year. Or, maybe just the celebration after a successful ritual. Or a conference call with one of the other branches (does everyone get together to complain about Japan?) What do their families know about their jobs? How do people get recruited. Anything you'd like to tell me about these characters or the facility would be wonderful. | letter |
| TheSecondBatgirl | Pleasantville (1998) | George Parker, Betty Parker, TV Repairman (Pleasantville), Bill Johnson | I chose all four of the nominated characters, but don't worry, you don't have to write them all! I'd love something about the TV repairman. What was his goal for Pleasantville? Why did he really bring Jen and David there in the first place? How did he even get this version of Pleasantville to exist, and what did he do with the 'real' Bud and Mary Sue while Jen and David took their places? If you don't want to write that, I'd love something exploring George, Betty, and Mr. Johnson's relationship post movie. Polyfic is totally encouraged, but not necessary. Or, if none of the characters are quite up your alley, I'd love something about the changes Pleasantville experienced, and maybe how it continues to evolve over time. Really, I will be happy with anything in this fandom. |

| hesexbots | Les liaisons dangereuses | Dangerous Liaisons - Choderlos de Laclos | Vicomte de Valmont | Valmont is best, and any fic with his excellent shenanigans will make me very happy! Please also feel free to also include any other characters, especially if he is fucking them. | letter |
| hesexbots | Plunkett and Macleane (1999) | James Macleane, Will Plunkett | Lord Rochester being sassy. And swinging _every_ way. Sex and threesomes a-ok also. | letter |

| heswearingkind | Big Eden (2000) | Oh my gosh, I love this movie so much I can't even describe it. I can't imagine what someone could write in this fandom that I wouldn't love—wait, no, I totally can: I really would prefer no explicit sex for this fandom, but otherwise, man, anything. | letter | |
| heswearingkind | Goon (2011) | I didn't request particular characters for this fandom because I love everyone in this bar, for real, they are all the greatest. | letter | |
| heswearingkind | My Mad Fat Diary | This is kind of my wild card entry in that I don't have a lot of thoughts about what I might like to see/read for it. I just loved this world so much that I wanted more from it. Whatever you'd want to write, I'd want to read, I pretty much guarantee it :) | letter | |
| heswearingkind | RocknRolla (2008) | Handsome Bob, One Two, Mumbles (RocknRolla) | This is the only fandom that I requested specific characters for, but I'm fine with you writing fic that includes only some of the requested characters, rather than all of them. I just requested characters because the parts of this movie that most interested me were pretty heavily focused on the Wild Bunch, and so I'd rather not get fic focused on, say, Archy or Johnny Quid (though I'm totally fine with them being peripheral or non-POV characters). | letter |
| TheTARDISontheCorner | MythBusters RPF | Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters), Adam Savage (Mythbusters), Kari Byron (Mythbusters), Grant Imahara (MythBusters RPF) | The only reason I didn't request Tori (or Buster) was that I didn't have enough slots. AU, Crossover, crack fic it's all good. I love them as one big dysfunctional (but happy!) family. With explosions. |
letter |
| TheTARDISontheCorner | Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) | Snow White (Snow White and the Huntsman), The Huntsman (Snow White and the Huntsman), William (Snow White and the Huntsman) Anna (Snow White and the Huntsman) | I'd really love the story of Snow after her coronation. How she navigates her desires and needs against the needs of the Kingdom. I'd love to see Snow connecting with women, both her peers and older women who can advise her. | letter |
| TheTARDISontheCorner | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), August Corbin, Katrina Crane | Witnesses of the Apocalypse and the ghosts that haunt them. | letter |

| hetidebreaks | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | o I ship Abbie/Ichabod big time, so chances are if they are being cute together I WILL be happy with whatever you write me (as friends or a pairing). As for a prompt idea? So I see so many fics involving Ichabod vs. modern technology, and I always thought it'd be funny if you turned the tables a little. I love the snowed in trope, so maybe lock them in the same place somewhere with no electricity for a while and write about them trying not to go stir crazy. Or having to keep each other warm. You know. Whatever. >_> | letter |
| hetidebreaks | Haven | Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos, Audrey Parker, Jennifer Mason (Haven) | o much is up in the air right now, but I would really love fic focused on Duke. I'm not picky, either, tbh. Bro bonding between him and Nathan? Sure! Him being adorable with Jennifer? WHY NOT. Him getting in trouble with Audreyy? GO FOR IT. (That can be shippy or not shippy on both Audrey and Jennifer, ftr, I love the pairings as much as I love the friendships). Also I secretly may have always wanted more fic involving Duke and Nathan as kids soooooo that can be an idea too. :D |
letter |
| hetidebreaks | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman, Skyler White, Brock Cantillo | I REALLY WANT JESSE FIC OKAY, I JUST REALLY WANT IT. ahem. And an actual prompt, if you'd like an idea: Write me an epilogue. Walt tied up so many loose ends before he died, but he also left a lot of emotionally broken people. What happens after they find out he's dead? Where are the characters five, ten years from now? I won't lie, focusing a lot on Jesse in this fic (or even devoting the future fic to his future) would make me very happy, but there's so much potential in what was left in Walt's wake that I would be happy with glimpses of any character in the show. |
letter |
| hetidebreaks | BioShock Infinite | Elizabeth (BioShock), Booker DeWitt | I just want Elizabeth fic. Elizabeth fic and Booker stuff and just. Yes. I had a fairly angsty prompt that involves a POV fic that follows the timeline that eventually leads to future ruin and her being super old. You get snippits of what she went through during that sequence, but a full fic would be super interesting. Also if angst isn't your cup of tea, maybe snippits of the life Booker and Elizabeth after the end of the game, where she gets to properly grow up. | letter |

| he_alchemist | The Magicians - Lev Grossman | Penny (The Magicians) | Penny is consistently portrayed in the books as somewhat mysterious and 'other'. I would love to read something from his point of view, especially about what happens between the last time we see him in The Magicians and the first time we see him in The Magician King. (Just realised it's unclear whether the nomination is for the unfinished trilogy or just the first book in it. If you haven't read The Magician King, or want to ignore it for some other reason, then I'm absolutely fine with an AU that takes him in a different direction from the canonical one.) | letter |
| he_alchemist | Edward II - Marlowe | Lightborn (Marlowe) | As a relatively minor character, Lightborn is a bit of a blank slate, so feel free to be creative. Here are some ideas, which you should feel even freer than usual to ignore: - Did he really live in Naples and learn lots of odd ways to kill? - In what way is his BRILLIANT IDEA for how to kill Edward 'braver' than flower-poisoning, windpipe-needling and all the other options he gives? Is it the thematic appropriateness that appeals to him, or does he have his own streak of sexual sadism, or is he really so skilful that he can manage a fatal arse-pokering without causing any external injuries? (If so, has he been practising?) - What if he's met Edward before? - What if he survives being stabbed at the end? - What if he's really Isabella in disguise? - How did he get to be so fucked up? |

| he_alchemist | Henry VI - Shakespeare | Richard III of England (Shakespeare Henry VI) | Anything! But see my my Yuletide letter for things I particularly love in general — most of them work pretty well with the young Richard we get in the H6 plays. I'm particularly (but not exclusively) interested in takes on messed-up York family dynamics and on Richard's messed-up relationship with his own body. | letter |
| he_alchemist | The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011) | Micheletto (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)), Lucrezia Borgia (The Borgias: The Original Crime Family (2011)) | At the time of writing I've not quite finished watching the third series, but from what I've seen so far, I love the dynamic between Lucrezia and Micheletto. I love the contrast between Lucrezia's frivolous side (although of course there's much more to her than that), and the fact that Micheletto has not a frivolous bone in his body. I would love to see more of them together: whether that's sex, friendship, more a kind of teacher/pupil relationship, hurt/comfort or (be still my beating heart) some combination of those things. I ship Micheletto/Cesare too, and would not be averse to some kind of threesome, or just Lucrezia and Micheletto bonding over their love for Cesare. | letter |
| he_alchemist | Moby Dick - Herman Melville | Captain Ahab | o, my favourite sentence in the book is probably this one: "Yet, when by this collision forced to turn towards home, and for long months of days and weeks, Ahab and anguish lay stretched together in one hammock, rounding in mid winter that dreary, howling Patagonian Cape; then it was, that his torn body and gashed soul bled into one another; and so interfusing, made him mad." Any fiction about that time, and/or that expanded on some of the imagery there would make me squee to high heaven. I'm also fascinated by the relationship between Ahab and Starbuck, and would love to see something in the hurt/comfort vein: Starbuck trying to alleviate poor Ahab's many mental/physical/spiritual agonies. I'm picturing gen-with-some-physical-intimacy, but slash and more straightforwardly genny gen are both great too. But basically, I'm just a bit obsessed with Ahab right at the moment and will joyously read anything and everything about him. |
letter |
| he_antichris | Marlows - Antonia Forest | Nicola Marlow | Nicola Marlow is one of my all-time favourite characters, so anything involving her would make me incredibly happy. I slightly prefer the school books to the holiday books, so a school fic would be lovely - perhaps the term after Run Away Home, or what happens if Craven ever does decide to get to the bottom of Nicola being left off the junior netball team. That said, if a holiday story is what strikes your fancy, I'd love that too, especially if it deals with the fallout after Run Away Home. (I've read and enjoyed Spring Term, but I don't consider it canon. Feel free to include events from that or not, whichever works for you.) | letter |
| he_antichris | Tir Tanagiri - Jo Walton | I'd love to see a story focusing on worldbuilding - I love the magic system, with gods that are numinous and real, and invocations that actually work. What happens to the gods when the White God starts taking over? Alternatively, what was life like before the period of the books, when more people knew the old hymns? I also love that the books hold up a dark mirror to our own legends. Walton gives us Arthur and the Táin Bó Cúailnge; another thing I'd love to see is a snippet from a saga of the Jarns. Or details of daily life - what Sulien's childhood was like, maybe, or life in the alae, or what things are like at home for the Jarns or the Malmish. | letter | |
| he_antichris | Old Kingdom - Garth Nix | Sabriel (Old Kingdom) | The interplay between Ancelstierre and the Old Kingdom fascinates me, so I'd love to see something that explores that. Sabriel's life in Ancelstierre really intrigues me - we get so little of it in the book, but Wyverley College seems a fully rounded setting, full of interesting characters. I'd love to see some of Sabriel's friendship with Sulyn and Ellimere, or see more of the classes, or find out what school was like for Sabriel before she became the confident prefect we see in canon. Or perhaps a state visit to Ancelstierre between Sabriel and Lirael - the visit in Abhorsen doesn't seem to have been their first. Or even something about the early days of the two kingdoms (Sabriel is obviously optional here), when the Wall was first built. | letter |
| he_antichris | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Keladry of Mindelan | I have a deep and dreadful longing for crack in this fandom, and would absolutely adore one of those fics where someone from our world (or similar - OCs and crossovers both welcome) gets sucked into Tortall and has to find their feet. Or something set in a modernised Tortall (Kel is obviously optional here) would be totally fun, especially with the modern characters reading/finding stuff out about/looking back at the canon era. Or if you don't want to go the cracktastic direction (for which I don't blame you), Kel femslash would be brilliant, or anything with Kel being awesome and proving the doubters wrong. I'd love to see what she gets up to after Lady Knight, for example. | letter |
| he_antichris | Emberverse - S. M. Stirling | Worldbuilding! I'd love to get to know Corvallis or the Dominions a bit better, for instance, or if you're burning to write a story about how your own area survives the Change, I would be all over that. Or else maybe something set in the early years of the quasi-Viking community in Maine, or a story that fills in some of the gap between Dies the Fire and The Protector's War. Or anything that grabs you, really. Preferably in the early years after the Change, but I wouldn't say no to, for instance, Matti taking over the reins of government from her mother. I'm a lot more interested in the day-to-day details of survival (especially farming and learning how to build new technology within the constraints of the setup) than I am in the war stuff, but I do enjoy politics, if that's what appeals to you about the series. | letter | |
| The_Grynne | Fast and the Furious Series | Han Lue, Gisele Harabo | Han/Gisele is my FATF OTP, but I would also love fic about Neela, from Tokyo Drift, preferably without Sean. | |
| The_Grynne | Dance Academy | Abigail Armstrong, Ollie Lloyd | Abigail and Ollie after the series finale, dancing for the Australian Ballet. Or possibly some years later, and no longer in the same company, but still in touch as good friends. I always think of a line (don't remember which episode in early S3) where Abigail and Ollie acknowledge that Sammy loved them both, and possibly was attracted to the same thing in both - their projection of confidence, their passion, their talent, their outward bitchiness/inward insecurities. So some mention of Sammy as the person who made their close friendship possible would be great. |
|
| The_Grynne | Luther (TV) | Alice Morgan, John Luther | Alice and John after the end of the series. Bonus points for appearance by Mark North. | |

| he_magnificent_sheep | Princess Tutu | Ahiru | Duck, Fakir (Princess Tutu), Rue (Princess Tutu), Mytho (Princess Tutu) | To my kind Fic Author, I don't have my own website or journal really, so I'll put my Dear Yuletide Author here. Pretty much anything in this fandom would be awesome. I'd love any interaction between the four main characters and the minor characters around them. (I've got a soft spot for Neko Sensei and Arikuimi.) I'd prefer nothing explicit, but shipping is just fine between any of the characters. Inclusion of a fairytale of your own choosing is a huge bonus. As you can see I use the Japanese names of the characters, but that's only because I saw the anime in Japanese. If you want to use the English dub names, that's cool. Write anything that sounds fun! Cheers, Your Eager Recipient. |
|
| he_magnificent_sheep | Loveless | Agatsuma Soubi | To my kind Fic Author, I don't have my own website or journal really, so I'll put my Dear Yuletide Author here. All I want, really, is something about Soubi. He can be doing anything - sitting in his apartment and thinking, having a ton of sex, hanging out with Ritsuka, et cetera. I'd just like to hear what's going on in his head and learn more about him as a person. I'd be happy with something really thoughtful and introspective, but I'd also be happy with something more actionish. If you want to do something with his backstory while working under Seimei or learning from Ritsu, that'd be awesome too. As for anything explicit, I just ask that you maybe refrain from any bodily excretion-play like watersports. Other than that, go wild and give me Soubi! Cheers, Your Eager Recipient. |
|
| he_magnificent_sheep | Seven Kingdoms Trilogy - Kristin Cashore | Po (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy) | To my kind Fic Author, I don't have my own website or journal really, so I'll put my Dear Yuletide Author here. As you can see, I'm interested in Po. I don't mind who he's with - I love seeing him interact with Katsa, Bitterblue, Giddon, or any of his immediate family members. If possible, I'd really like to read about Po's Grace and his disability - anything that involves him dealing with his blindness would be fantastic. I'd also be interested in some Lienid worldbuilding, what his country is like and the traditions of his people. I'm cool with explicit things as well, though I'd prefer nothing too kinky. A fic with him can be introspective or more action-oriented. Whatever you most want to write for him! Cheers, Your Eager Recipient. |
|
| he_magnificent_sheep | Once and Future King series - T. H. White | Wart | King Arthur | To my kind Fic Author, I don't have my own website or journal really, so I'll put my Dear Yuletide Author here. My main wish is for something to do with Wart/Arthur and those around him. I love reading about him as a young child learning from Merlin or interacting with Kay, but I also love hearing about his life as an adult with Guenever and his court. In the story we don't hear too much about his life between his coronation and his old age, so anything in that vague span would be awesome. I ship Arthur/Lancelot as well as Arthur/Guenever, and explicit scenes for either of these ships would be just fine (though perhaps nothing bodily excretion-oriented like watersports). Anything with Arthur and Mordred would also be loved. This can be thoughtful and introspective or action-packed; I'm happy either way. Just have fun and tell me about Arthur! Cheers, Your Eager Recipient. |
|
| he_rck | The Witch Family - Eleanor Estes | This was a childhood favorite, and I was really happy when I could introduce my daughter to it. I tend to prefer assuming that the witches are real to assuming that it's all stories the girls are telling, but I can see how the latter interpretation works with the book. I'm not a fan of the sequel, The Curious Adventures of Jimmy McGee, because it didn't feel like it really was a sequel (I wanted more about the witches). How do Clarissa and Amy feel about the witches as they grow up? What does Malachi think as he guards Old Witch? Just how reformed is Old Witch? What adventures does the Little Witch Girl have? Do the Little Witch Girl and the baby witch really not age? | letter | |
| he_rck | Alcatraz Smedry series - Brandon Sanderson | The cliffhanger at the end of book four really nags at me, especially knowing that it might be years (or never) before Sanderson writes book five. I'm really open to anything here. The cliffhanger is kind of big to address in a short fic, but I wouldn't be against some other form of future fic. For backstory, you could tell me how Shasta and Attica met and why they married. You could give me five times Grandpa (Leavenworth) Smedry was late. I'd enjoy reading about how Bastille came to choose being a knight of Crystallia. I'm sure there are fascinating potential stories I'm not thinking of. | letter | |
| he_rck | Planet Ladder | Planet Ladder is the fandom I keep requesting every year. There's so little fic for it, that I'm desperate for anything. Bambi is a favorite of mine. I'm very interested in her relationship with Kaguya. Gold seems ripe for exploration-- How does he perceive events? Is he autonomous enough to have opinions or thoughts? Waseda also seems like a good possibility for a story. What does it mean to him to no longer be physically human? As to Kaguya, does she ever go back to Japan? What happened to her family there? She ends up with Seeu, how did that work? One of the things I loved when reading Planet Ladder was how there seemed to be more story behind everything, more than what we were actually given. I'd love to see some of those details. I'm interested in backstory or missing scenes here, but I wouldn't say no to future fic or just about anything else. | letter | |
| he_rck | Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman (TV) | Please, if you need to use Fetchers, make some up. RPF squicks me, and it's worse when the real people in question are kids. I only nominated fictional characters from this fandom because that's who I want a story about. What's Blossom thinking about? What were Ruff and Scruff like as puppies? How much of what Chet does is deliberate? I'd be happy to see any of the fictional characters I didn't nominate, too-- Grandma Ruffman, Glen, Uncle McRuffmantosh, any of the others. Depending on the story I get, I may share it with my ten year old (this is her all time favorite TV show. She watches episodes over and over), so please bear that in mind when writing. | letter | |
| Thia (Jennaria) | Inu x Boku Secret Service | The Dog and Me Secret Service (Anime) | Shirakiin Ririchiyo, Miketsukami Soushi | The anime gives us happily ever after - but what would happily ever after really look like with these two? What plans (if any) does Ririchiyo have for life after high school, and how does Soshi fit into them? Smut a plus, other side characters also a plus. | letter |
| Thia (Jennaria) | Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl | Kurusu Tomari, Osaragi Hazumu, Kamiizumi Yasuna | A happy AU wherein they really do go for the threesome option? A happy post-canon piece where Yasuna sorts out how to deal with the girl she loves finding happily ever after with someone else (and Tomari and Hazumu sort out how to work 'happily ever after')? So long as it's happy, I'm good. Smut a plus but not required, inclusion of the other kid characters also a plus but not required. | letter |
| Thia (Jennaria) | Sword Art Online | Asuna! How did she meet Lisbeth, and become friends with her? Was Kirito amazing in bed that first time, or was it a comedy of errors that at least wound up with orgasms all 'round? Had she ever watched her brother play MMOs? I love Kirito and the other characters, but I heart Asuna the most. | letter | |
| Thia (Jennaria) | Kamen Rider Kabuto | Kagami Arata, Tendou Souji | lash these two. During canon, post canon. Is Tendou capable of saying anything directly to Kagami? ...without having hinted at it, or ducked around it, or assumed-that-Kagami-would-figure-it-out? (Probably not. But we can hope!) | letter |

| hinlizzy2 | Parks and Recreation | Donna Meagle, Ron Swanson, April Ludgate, Ann Perkins | The four above are my absolute favourites, but I do love absoutely everybody on this show so appearances and even large supporting roles by any of the others would be great. I feel like Donna's really underused in the series and would love to see something focussed on her awesomeness - a day in the life or five times or anything else Donnaesque that takes your fancy. I would also love to see her getting into Rent-A-Swag with Tom. Like pretty much everyone I know, I love Ron! I'm especially fascinated about just why a man like him would go to work in the public sector; how did he make that choice and why? Hww did he end up marrying each Tammy? Anything set pre-series that goes into some of these choices would be great. In-series, I adore his fatherly relationship with April and have a fondness for Ron/Ann, so anything exploring those would also rock. I also really enjoy the evolving dynamic between April and Ann. Femslash is totally welcome with these two, but not required. Friendship-fic or moving-towards-a-friendship fic will be loved and cherished. Something post-series with the two of them as friends would be lovely. |
|
| hinlizzy2 | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz | Fitzsimmons! I have totally fallen for the science twins and all their adorkableness! Absolutely anything with them would be great. Shipfic, friendship fic, casefic, it's all grand. Pre-series fic of how they met and how their bond developed would be great, or how they have to bend to accomodate other significant people in each other's lives in the future. Or possibly just the two of them saving the world with the power of science! Humour, snarkiness and technobabble all hopefully requested! | |
| hinlizzy2 | Cracked: After Hours (web series) | Soren Bowie (Cracked: After Hours), Michael Swaim (Cracked: After Hours), Katie Willert (Cracked: After Hours), Daniel O'Brien (Cracked: After Hours) | I love this series so SO much. I'd love to read something in which they dissect Yuletide the same way they do their other pop culture obsessions, or perhaps something set with them actually at work and how they wile away the days waiting to get to the diner. I also ship Soren/Katie and Michael/Dan so anything with their particular brands of tension would be great! But I'll honestly be happy with anything set in their world and full of geeky zingers and bickering! | |
| hinlizzy2 | MASH (TV) | "Trapper" John McIntyre (Mash TV) | I loved Trapper a ridiculous amount, and his run on the series is still my absolute favourite. The revelation that Margaret had a crush on him instead of Hawkeye at the beginning made me do a happy dance of joy and I'd love to see shipfic with the two of them. Slashing him with Hawkeye or Sidney is also really delightful, or else explore the relationship with his wife at home (I always had the sense that he thought she was probably cheating on him too, and was generally okay with that). Post-series fic is welcome, particularly something that explores how he felt about not being able to say goodbye to Hawkeye and why he didn't leave a note. | |
| hirdbird | The Sherwood Ring - Elizabeth Marie Pope | Peaceable Drummond Sherwood | Any or all other nominated characters welcome as long as Peaceable is one of them - some more thoughts available in my yuletide letter if you want them, but I'm happy for any kind of fic in this 'verse as long as it's light-hearted and stays in the G-to-mild-M range. Gen, canon pairings, femslash or m/m pairing if you want to go there...up to you, kind author! | letter |
| hirdbird | Casson Family - Hilary McKay | Indigo Casson | I would love something Indigo-centric, your choice of any other characters welcome. I do ship Indigo/Tom like mad (but wouldn't want the rating to go higher than teen if you go that route) but it's definitely not the only sort of fic that would make me happy. All Cassons make me happy. | letter |
| hirdbird | Sherlock (TV) RPF | I've been longing for some explicit Cumberbatch/Freeman/Abbington porn with banter - detailed scenario in my Yuletide letter on dreamwidth if you wish. Cumberbatch/Freeman with Amanda's approval would also make me happy if that's more your thing. If you don't want to write porn, though, that's fine too - my next favorite scenario would be some sort of funny bickering or prank-pulling behind the scenes on the Sherlock S3 set, but I'm open to anything except angst and infidelity, really. |
letter | |
| hirdbird | Broadchurch | Alec Hardy, Ellie Miller | I'd love some fairly explicit h/c with Alec whump (physical) and possibly Ellie offering awkward comfort - set during the series timeline or post-series. If you don't care for h/c, anything centered on Alec and Ellie interacting somehow would be terrific, either gen or het. I'd also be happy with mild smut (especially first-time fic) but preferably not NC-17 PWP, and with a hopeful if not happy ending. | letter |

| hisisthemorning | Baby-Sitters Club - Ann M. Martin | Stacey McGill, Claudia Kishi | Any of the following would be awesome: - post-series, what happens to their friendship? Do they stay friends, drift apart, catch up again later on? - high-school reunion fic - meeting up as adults and having a fumbling romance (that possibly goes wrong/they end up hurting each other by mistake - or cheating on current partners as adults with each other) - letters written to each other as they get older (over the years until they're old ladies, maybe!) - anything else dealing with their relationship to each other, and/or the other BSC members (I prefer to read about the 'classic' BSC members, not the ones who only appear in the later books) See my letter for more details! |
letter |
| hisisthemorning | Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild | Theo Dane, Winifred Bagnall | Anything with Theo's back story - or Theo relating her back story to Winifred - or generally the relationship between Theo and Winifred would be great. See my letter for more details! :) |
letter |
| hisisthemorning | A Little Princess - Frances Hodgson Burnett | Ram Dass, Sara Crewe, Becky (A Little Princess) | Anything involving Sara, or Ram Dass, telling stories, especially about India, would be great. If you wanted to, it would be amazing if you could work in some kind of traditional Indian folk tale, or something that evokes 'magical India', like Sara's memories and stories in the book! See my letter for more details! :) |
letter |
| hisisthemorning | Black Books | Bernard Black, Manny Bianco, Fran Katzenjammer | Anything at all that matches the wacky humour of the show would be incredible. Maybe what happened to them in Canada? (I live in Canada so that would make my day!) Or if you're feeling brave, a whole new episode worth of craziness? My absolute favourite episode is the piano one, so anything to do with that would be awesome too. See my letter for more details! :) |
letter |
| Thistlerose | Wonder Woman (Comics) | Diana (Wonder Woman (Comics)) | Diana's been something of an idol for me since I was a child. I love her as a feminist icon, as a fish out of water, as a superheroine, and as a mythological figure. I'm a fan of Greek myths and legends, and I like the way they're sometimes integrated into Diana's story. (Though I'm not a huge fan of the new 52. It started out really well, but I didn't like the reveal about the Amazons.) I'm sure I'll be thrilled with whatever you decide to do with my Diana, whether it's an epic adventuring featuring mythological characters and creatures, or navigating the Patriarchs' World, or interacting with her Amazon sisters, or whatever. The only thing I'm not really wild about is romance, and that's only because I never really bought her various canon romances (Steve Trevor, Tom Tresser, Superman). | letter |
| Thistlerose | Much Ado About Nothing (2012) | Benedick (Much Ado About Nothing 2012), Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing 2012) | I'm a big fan of banter, and of bickering couples who secretly love each other passionately. Pretty much anything you do with these two would make me happy (except for the squicks/dislikes listed in my Dear Yuletide Author letter). What happens to them after the end of the movie? Or what's their backstory? We know they had a drunken hookup, but is there more to it than that? I'm also a huge Shakespeare fan in general, but please don't feel obligated to try to capture his style! I'd rather my story be true to the spirit of the characters and the play, than to the language. | letter |
| Thistlerose | The Innkeeper's Song - Peter S. Beagle | Lukassa (Innkeeper's Song), Lal (Innkeeper's Song) | I'm curious about Lukassa's fate. What happens to her? Does she ever make peace with herself? And what role (if any) does Lal play? I'd like to think they meet up again, sometime in the future - since it was Lal who resurrected Lukassa. Other than that... I love the world Peter Beagle's created with this book, and its subsequent sequels. If you're unfamiliar with "Giant Bones" and some of the other stories set in this world, it's okay. If you have read them, please feel free to use whatever you like. | letter |
| Thistlerose | The White Queen (TV) | Richard III of England (The White Queen) | Oh, Richard. I'm a Ricardian, but I don't buy the saintly portrayals we sometimes see. I like him in The White Queen because, even though he's innocent of the princes' murders, he's still fully capable of being a jerk. Though I think, for Yuletide, I'd like to see Richard in happier times. Richard/Anne is my OTP (I don't believe he was really in love with Elizabeth) and I would love to see them at their home in the north. Or as children, since they grew up knowing each other. Alternately, I'd love to see Richard interacting with his older brothers. Or give me a scene from Richard's POV, that was from a different character's POV on the show. For this fandom, I'd be okay with AU too. (The kind that answers the question "How would changing one thing alter canon?" NOT the kind where they're all 21st century baristas or whatever.) | letter |
| Thistlerose | Lymond Chronicles - Dorothy Dunnett | Francis Crawford | Francis Crawford is the Prince of Angst, but for Yuletide I'd like to see him happy! Or maybe bittersweet is the best I can hope for with Francis. *g* I was thinking maybe post-series, and his evolving relationship with Philippa (whom I love madly), or Richard, or Kuzum, or his mother. Or maybe a story from his childhood. I'm intrigued by his sister Eloise. We know so little about her, except I gather that Francis loved her a great deal. Didn't Richard say she had the best mind of the three of them, or something like that? | |
| Thistlerose | The Welsh Princes Trilogy - Sharon Kay Penman | I'm afraid I don't know what I want from this series. I love the epic sweep of the story, and the individual characters - especially Joanna, the first Llewelyn, Elen, Bran, Nell, Simon, Ellen, and Davydd. I would not mind a story about *any* of them. Please see my Dear Yuletide Author letter for my general likes and dislikes. | letter | |
| Thleeny | Newsies!: the Musical - Fierstein/Menken | Jack Kelly, David Jacobs | ome hardcore smut would be appreciated (esp. with Jack as a top!) If not, maybe something sweet/cute? I'd love to see them as a couple back in 1899. | |
| Thleeny | Artemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer | Artemis Fowl II, Domovoi Butler | Give me something (non-shippy) between the two. An incident in Artemis' early life; Butler teaching his young ward something; Artemis and Butler bonding when Artemis is older. Anything at all! | |
| Thleeny | Hamlet - Shakespeare | Hamlet (Shakespeare), Horatio (Hamlet - Shakespeare) | Anything good (friend-times, smut, anything so long as it's positive/happy) between the two! | |
| Thleeny | It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia | Charlie Kelly | Just give me something happy (not involving the Waitress) for Charlie. Slash optional. | |
| housanth | Horus Heresy - Various Authors | I know I've left the character list blank - that's genuinely because I'd be happy for stories about any of the available matches. My dear author letter has details on the things I'd be interested in for each of them specifically. :D | letter | |
| housanth | Final Fantasy XIII-2 | Noel Kreiss, Serah Farron (FF XIII-2) | I'd love something set in one of the alternate endings, please see my letter for details. But honestly, go nuts. :] | letter |
| housanth | Legacy of Kain | Again, I'd love fic for any of the nominated characters. | letter | |
| housanth | The Culture - Iain M. Banks | dROU Xenophobe, GSV Lasting Damage, Demeisen | GOU Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints, GCU Grey Area | Meatfucker | I am indeed all about the Minds. | letter |
| hreadofgrace | A Thread of Grace - Mary Doria Russell | Claudette Blum, Walter Schramm, Renzo Leoni | o, there is a moment, right towards the end of the book, where it like Renzo and Claudette might end up together. I'm really interested in that as a possibility. This doesn't have to be a romantic pairing necessarily (and even if it is, I can't quite imagine that it would be a happy ending, considering their respective traumas!), but I would love to see what a future for them looks like, a year or several down the road. Bonus points if you can find a way to work in Schramm who is a really fascinating character to me! | letter |
| hreadofgrace | Dublin Murder Squad Series - Tana French | Rob Ryan | Damn it, what happened in the woods!!??!!!???? I would absolutely love to see someone to take their best shot in coming up with an explanation. This doesn't have to wrap everything up in a neat little bow, but I would love to hear your take on what happened. You can even insert some supernatural elements if you need to, or not! | letter |
| hreadofgrace | A Place of Greater Safety - Hilary Mantel | Camille Desmoulins (A Place of Greater Safety), Maximilien Robespierre, Georges Jacques Danton (A Place of Greater Safety), Lucille Desmoulins (A Place of Greater Safety) | I'm throwing in the same request I made last year, since I just like this world so much! I'd love something hot and dark between the three main guys, especially with a focus on Camille. While in general I'm not super into non-con, this is one place where I could imagine it working well with the characters in certain situations...but I'll leave it up to your discretion. | letter |
| hreadofgrace | The Sparrow - Mary Doria Russell | Emilio Sandoz, D.W. Yarbrough, Anne Edwards, Sofia Mendes | Darn it, I love this book. I love Emilio. I'm really interested in his relationship with Anne and D.W. Yarbrough as mentors/surrogate parents. I also love his complicated relationship with Sofia. I'd love to see a piece that explores any of these relationships. Or something completely different. I'm open, I just like spending time in this universe. (One other idea I've thought about is the possibility of a piece from the perspective of the family he leaves behind in Italy in Children of God, but again, its just an idea.) | letter |
| hroughadoor | Scandal (TV) | I'm Olivia/Fitz agnostic -- if you hate it, feel free to ignore it, if you love it, it won't ruin the story for me. I love this show for the entirety of its ensemble, so really, any characters/all characters are appreciated! Write about whoever is your favorite and I'm sure it will be great. Otherwise, I'd love to see some kind of interaction between folks we've never (or rarely) seen on screen together, like some ridiculous case of the week that requires, for ex: Melly and Harrison or Quinn and James to interact. Also, you can't go wrong with campaign flashbacks. | ||
| hroughadoor | Oryx and Crake - Margaret Atwood | Snowman (Oryx and Crake) | Would love Snowman/Jimmy and Crake when they were in high school. Prefer slash (I always thought poor Jimmy was confused and subtexty as hell) but equally happy with gen if slash isn't your bag. | |
| hroughadoor | Orphan Black (TV) | Alison Hendrix, Felix Dawkins | ALISON + FELIX = BFF 4EVAH. Something set during the back half of S1 when their friendship got really epic would be great, but basically anything with those two characters would also be fantastic. | |
| hroughadoor | Fast and the Furious Series | Dominic Toretto, Brian O'Conner | I prefer Dom and Brian as friends/loving antagonists (versus as a slash pairing). I love heist planning. The fifth movie was my favorite. Hopefully that's helpful? | |
| Thursday_Next | You Are the Quarry (Album) | One of the things I love about Morrissey's songs is the stories they tell, or hint at, the characters who are narrating all of these songs, and I'd like to know more about one or more of the stories and characters in this album. I don't mind if you pick just one song and write a story about it, or a series of vignettes based around different songs (featuring the same characters, different characters, related characters) or even try to fit aspects of all the songs in there. Please pick whichever song or songs inspire you most. | letter | |
| Thursday_Next | A Day In the Life of a Poolshark (Music Video) | Michael Harris (A Day In the Life of a Poolshark), Daniel Anderson (A Day In the Life of a Poolshark) | One of the comments on the video on youtube says: "the first rule of brokeback fightclub” and that comment is basically my prompt for this. Why are they fighting? Do they settle all their differences this way? Do they take care of each other's wounds afterwards? Do they decide to just get a room at the end and have sex? These are the questions I want answers to! Or, if you like, are the events of the video connected to the events at the end of the Retina and the Sky video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzMm_nrU9Ec)? Are they alien shapeshifters? Clones? | letter |
| Thursday_Next | Obernewtyn Chronicles - Isobelle Carmody | Elspeth Gordie | I'd like something set around the time of the second and third books, something about how the guilds were set up, or after Elspeth comes back in The Farseekers. I like action and adventure, maybe a misfit rescue, some hurt/comfort or just a quiet moment at Obernewtyn, with Elspeth beginning to see it as her home. When Elspeth is at the Druid camp she wears a green dress and has "the curious wish that Rushton might see me so transformed” so I'd like to see that happen, Elspeth all dressed up for some kind of occasion. I also like the sense of pining and being oblivious to the pining going on between Elspeth and Rushton at that point in the series so something that explores that a bit more would be great. But if you don't want to include that, anything with Elspeth being brave and awesome would be great. |
letter |
| Thursday_Next | Shades of Grey - Jasper Fforde | Jane Grey (Shades of Grey), Eddie Russett | I like Eddie and Jane and I'd love fic about them, what happens next, a missing scene of interaction from the novel or especially a 'what if' where Jane doesn't turn out green and they get married. A scene of slightly loopy domesticity, making breakfast while planning their next move against National Colour perhaps, or something in which they go to Emerald City (Wizard of Oz references a bonus). Alternatively, if you're also familiar with Fforde's Thursday Next novels, a crossover would be cool. Is there some kind of link with Jane Eyre with the names Edward and Jane? Does Shades of Grey accidentally get mixed up with Fifty Shades of Grey and Thursday has to sort out the mistake? |
letter |
| Thursday_Next | Parks and Recreation | Leslie Knope, Ann Perkins, Ben Wyatt, Ron Swanson | (I've only seen seasons 1-3 so if you could avoid major spoilers/references to characters from later seasons I would be grateful!) I love all of the oddball characters, so anything about any or all of Leslie, Ann, Ben, April, Andy, Ron or Tom would make me smile. Just the characters, being themselves. Ensemble gen fic would be great. Shipping wise I like Leslie/Ben or Leslie/Ann, and I think April and Andy are cute together, but pairings are completely optional, and if they are included I'd prefer nothing explicit. Something seasonal would be really fun, an overly competitive office Secret Santa, Leslie organising a disastrous holiday event, April and Andy hosting a New Year party. Or something where the Parks department have to work together in competition against one of the other departments or anything where Leslie demands the department do something they don't really want to do — e.g. paintballing, fancy dress, a parade, poetry reading, anything! I also love the episode where they go camping and I think there's loads more potential in that whole scenario. |

| Tibby | Amazing Grace (2006) | William Pitt the Younger, William Wilberforce | These two and their friendship fill me with so much glee. I would adore any fic about their great love for each other, whether you choose to make that platonic, romantic or an ambiguous situation somewhere between. Barbara Spooner is definitely welcome too. If you'd like to draw from the lives of the characters' real counterparts, that would be just ace, but I also understand if you're not comfortable with that. For instance, I actually read today that Wilberforce disliked the traditional English way of spending a Sunday. I don't know, that just makes me curious about what he'd rather spend his Sunday doing... |
letter |
| Tibby | Peter's Friends (1992) | Peter Morton, Maggie Chester, Roger Charleston, Mary Charleston | I would love something with any mix of these characters, preferably dialogue-heavy rather than plotty. Or, if too much talk isn't your thing, I'd just like to see anything Peter-centric, whether it's as part of a pairing or just being introspective. You can write a thousand words of Peter and Maggie snuggling and I will be overjoyed. Maggie and Peter really are my favourites (mostly just as friends, but if you find a workable way to pair them up I will be all over it). I have a soft spot for Peter/Roger too, just so long as Mary and Roger's relationship isn't ignored. You can even go for Maggie/Mary! Actually that would be something I'd love to read... It would be nice if it was set at Christmas, but I really don't mind whether that's pre or post-film. |
letter |
| Tibby | Cambridge Spies | Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, Julian Bell | Any combination of Guy and Anthony and Julian Bell would be loved. It would be nice if the focus was on Guy and Anthony though - I have an especial soft spot for Guy. I lap up historical detail, so if you like that sort of thing too, feel free to draw on people and situations from the real lives of the Cambridge Five. This is a fandom where I don't mind fic that's properly sad. Anything from melancholy to sob-inducing is fine. But if you want to go a bit lighter I also like all things everyday and domestic. Well, you know, as domestic as espionage gets... Also welcome: Forster quotations, dubious uses for Guy's copy of Middlemarch, and socks in bed. |
letter |
| Tibby | Parade's End - Ford Madox Ford | Colonel Levin (Ford Madox Ford), Captain McKechnie (Ford Madox Ford), Sergeant-Major Cowley (Ford Madox Ford) | I admit, I had one thing in mind when I nominated these characters - I just want more soldiers trying to mother Tietjens. I want McKechnie to make him cocoa and Levin to fret over his well-being. And Tietjens to carry on in his own little bubble of despair. There's lots you could do with these characters though. I'd really enjoy an exploration of their lives outside the army, in particular how their experiences effect them once the war is over. Or you could look at the few days covered in 'No More Parades' from McKechnie's perspective. |

Better details in the letter. |
letter |
| ielan | Exiles - Melanie Rawn | Cailet Ambrai | o sad that we'll never see the end of this series! Cailet is my favourite character - powerful woman, but emotionally fragile. I'd love to see your take on her post-Mageborn Traitor! | letter |

If writing as canon age, please no sexual content; that's a huge squick. | |
| Tino | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Keladry of Mindelan, Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau | Queer stuff please; we all know that Keladry and Alanna shared life explorations together. Maybe Alanna coming out as an adult would be one of those ;) | |

Anything you write me where Nick and Cody are the most important people in each others' lives will be wonderful. |

| TLvop | A Tale of Time City - Diana Wynne Jones | Optional details are totally optional, however: I do have some triggers due to suckage, so please avoid those! Details (like with general things I like, too!) in the DYA above :). Most of my issues can be avoided by keeping fics at or below PG13. -- Note: This is a really short book! And also great. So if you want to give it a go because the prompt we were matched on doesn't catch your imagination, go for it :D. -- I would love to read worldbuilding about Time City! How do the tours work? How does the government operate? Is there a mail system? Are there different denomination stamps for what time period you're sending them to? Speaking of, how does monetary exchange work? Who invented the food machines? ARE THERE LINGUISTS. Or whatever you'd like :). (What about judicial issues -- how are they settled cross-timestream with the stable parts of history?) If you want a character prompt: Elio and his museum (ooh, or about robots in general in Time City HOW DO THEY WORK), or what happens when the protagonists decide to GO ON VACATION. (Hijinks, I presume!) Or what the parents actually do with their lives, from their perspectives, because I suspect they're a lot more interesting than we're led to believe. Basically: ANYTHING. :D :D :D. |
letter | |
| TLvop | Archer's Goon - Diana Wynne Jones | Awful Sykes | Optional details are totally optional, however: I do have some triggers due to suckage, so please avoid those! Details (like with general things I like, too!) in the DYA above :). Most of my issues can be avoided by keeping fics at or below PG13. -- Oh goodness, basically I love everything about Awful? I'd love to see her as an adult, TAKING ON THE WORLD through investigative journalism or blogging or maybe deciding to be Sherlock Holmes. Or Awful, not yet an adult but a few years on being. Um. Awful. BUT IN AN AMAZING WAY. I just I love her insecurity and anger and curiosity and blunt honesty and strong grasp on reality, and how she makes mistakes and it upsets her but she has a genuine love of the people she loves it just sort of turns out as cranky stomping. Basically, anything with Awful where she runs around being herself and generally awesome and we get to see how she matures! |
letter |
| TLvop | The Dalemark Quartet - Diana Wynne Jones | Libby Beer | Optional details are totally optional, however: I do have some triggers due to suckage, so please avoid those! Details (like with general things I like, too!) in the DYA above :). Most of my issues can be avoided by keeping fics at or below PG13. -- To be honest, I am really just fascinated to see what someone would do with this character. I love world-building, and I love character studies, so anything from pseudo-myth to hyper-realistic life-and-times-of-a-goddess/wax-figurine = good with me. I know this is really short, but I've never actually thought about this, and am mostly awestruck by the idea. (Person who nominated Libby Beer: A+ idea.) If you offered "all" and were really not expecting to get Libby Beer and are going "aaaaah," Dagner's life would also be fascinating to read about! Poor emo rockstar politician ♥ |
letter |
| TLvop | Eight Days of Luke - Diana Wynne Jones | Astrid Price | Optional details are totally optional, however: I do have some triggers due to suckage, so please avoid those! Details (like with general things I like, too!) in the DYA above :). Most of my issues can be avoided by keeping fics at or below PG13. -- Note: This is a very short book! What was Astrid like as a kid? How did she get to be who she is today? Did she ever encounter the supernatural as a kid/teenager? OR about Astrid today, and her life, and how she is the badassest (as little or as much supernatural as you'd like; Astrid whose life seems totally normal except her ward being besties with Loki is just as interesting as Astrid-who-suddenly-is-working-with-a-lot-of-demigods). Take "badass" for whatever qualities you like, but I appreciate DEFENDING YOUR BOUNDARIES and SORTING PAPERWORK as much as KICKING EVIL IN THE FACE. Or both...??? I think Astrid/Thor are super adorable, but I do not need it in the fic! It's just cute, and runs contrary to my gen-ish impulses. But gen is always great :D. |
letter |
| TLvop | 飛鷹 | Silver Hawk (2004) | Lisa Hayashi | Optional details are totally optional, however: I do have some triggers due to suckage, so please avoid those! Details (like with general things I like, too!) in the DYA above :). Most of my issues can be avoided by keeping fics at or below PG13. -- Note: if you matched me on something else and don't enjoy the prompt, this is a movie about a sci-fi future with an Asian lady batman with minimal angst and massive amounts of glee. Tell me about Lisa! If you want to world-build in this universe while doing so, I WILL NOT SAY NO, but I also would love case fic and/or her at the grocery store idk just amazing. Or friends with Lulu! I do not ship them (I am a gennish soul), but I am not anti-shipping them! Just if they are dating, being settled into their relationship, unless you think the courting part will be awesome to write in which case: GO FOR IT. |
letter |
| Toft | The Heat (2013) | Shannon Mullins, Sarah Ashburn | I LOVED this movie. Two awkward souls find love with each other! I would really love femmeslash for these two, however you choose to do it (although my personal headcanon is that Shannon sets out to seduce Sarah and goes about it in the most awkward, inappropriate way possible but it all works out in the end). I'd also really love friendship fic about them cheering each other up when the other has a bad day, buying curtains together, getting each other presents, having a night in (or out), talking about feelings or avoiding talking about feelings, and generally looking after each other in their wildly divergent and often annoying/awful/incompetent but loving ways. | letter |
| Toft | Anne of Green Gables - L. M. Montgomery | Anne Shirley, Diana Barry | Okay, I'm embarrassed that I'm requesting this having only read the first book, but that's the situation. I just love Anne and Diana so much. I love Anne because she's SO OVERDRAMATIC AND PASSIONATE - the bit where she fantasizes about nursing Diana through smallpox and then Diana weeping onto her grave, my god! I would love a story about Anne and Diana's beautiful love - friendship or romance - that incorporates Anne's rich and hilariously over the top fantasy life and tendency to get into mishaps. Bonus points if it includes sexual awakenings or experimentation, not necessarily with each other. No spoilers for later books, please. OH AND IF YOU WANTED TO WRITE A CROSSOVER WITH HARRY POTTER, MERCEDES LACKEY'S VALDEMAR SERIES, PROTECTOR OF THE SMALL, OR JUST A FANTASY AU WHERE THEY'RE AT SCHOOL TOGETHER AND DO MAGIC I WOULD BE 100% OKAY WITH THAT. Just think how much Anne would love it if she got a Companion or a letter from Hogwarts. The whole of the Arrows trilogy is basically right out of Anne's id. But she's got to get those puffed sleeves or she'll just DIE of humiliation. I <3 Anne a lot. |
letter |
| Toft | Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce | Keladry of Mindelan, Wyldon of Cavall | I really love this series because I love Kel's determination, the way she gets what she wants through sheer hard work, and that she can face people down with her strength and force when she has to. I really like the last two books where she's doing knight work and having an awkward sexual awakening; I'd love a story set in those years or later in her life, being a brilliant military commander and a hardcore tough lady knight, but also a gentle, loving, awkward person. I'm particularly interested in how other people see her in those years, and how she changes those around her through the books. I always found Lord Wyldon a really fascinating character, and I'd love a story about their friendship through the years, or even a slow-build romance. I also love Lalasa when she's older and a successful shop-owner and has so much more self-confidence, and is starting to give back to the world what Kel gave her. I'd love to read Lalasa/Kel, or Lalasa/Tianine, and her friendship with Kel over the years. I'd also really love a story about Kel as a queer woman, and how she manages her lovelife as a knight. Tilting action scenes a plus (not a euphemism). | letter |
| Toft | 12th Century CE RPF | Bernard of Clairveaux (12th Century CE RPF), Heloise (12th Century CE RPF), Gerald of Wales (12th Century CE RPF) | I love Bernard because he's a magnificent bastard. He was so profoundly sensitive and his mystical readings of the Song of Songs are so beautiful, but he was also so ruthless and awful to his fellow man. Ok, so, what I really want is fic where Bernard gets taken down a peg or two. Preferably this will involve sexual humiliation by a sodomizing robot from the future (I have requested this almost every year I've done yuletide), but I'd also love Bernard/Abelard hatefic, Bernard/Heloise hatefic, a story where Bernard because unexpectedly enamored of that weirdo Gerald of Wales, or sweet, gentle Peter the Venerable, and it BREAKS HIS HEART as he burns up with desire and rage at his own weakness. Um. But in all seriousness, one of the reasons I love the idea of him meeting a sodomizing robot from the future is that I love the idea of his narrow worldview being challenged by something totally outside his experience that gives him feelings he doesn't understand and can't control - so, aliens, mermaids, tenderness, robots, gay feelings, respect for a woman, anything like that really. | letter |

Lee coming out (either to the world or to his family or just to the Darkest Night guys) would be particularly great, as would Tony meeting Lee's family.

| oucanpie | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Grant Ward, Maria Hill (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | I would love to see more of Maria, either from a work side of things or a personal side of things. Her dealing with all the weird and unusual requests from the team or having to bail them out or joining them in the field or anything! I also have become weirdly invested in Ward (yeah, I know). I actually kind of like assholes and would happily just read him being a dumb dick while the others slap him down or stick him with truth serums. I also ship the two of them together if you wanted to go there. Even though it is a really random pairing with no canonical support. I like the idea of how their similarities might line up or how sparks might fly if they argued. However, no pressure to take a romance angle. I would totally read them as friends, frenemies, or even arch enemies. More details of this and everything else in letter! | letter |
| oucanpie | Kick-Ass (2010) | Chris D'Amico, Mindy Macready | I'd just like to see more interaction between these two because they're real opposites in every way and there's such potential for hilarity there.

Hit Girl popping up to spoil Chris' every dastardly plan? | letter |

Katheryn is a tae kwon do black belt, Travis pranks everyone on set, George records video of himself making music and puts it on YouTube. They're all completely nuts and adorable and flirtatious and the chemistry is all there so I would kill to read how they stumbled into one big glorious relationship. | letter |
| oucanpie | Hunger Games (2012) RPF | Liam Hemsworth (Hunger Games RPF), Josh Hutcherson (Hunger Games RPF), Jennifer Lawrence (Hunger Games RPF) | I love that neither Jen nor Josh are what you would expect to find in Hollywood leading roles, that they're outspoken and refreshingly savvy and open-minded and I just love the idea of them and Liam building this atypical relationship that's totally not what they expected but which works for them. Be it one night of passion or dorky messing around or a more serious thing, the three of them together would blow my little mind. | letter |

| ownshend | Deadly Premonition | Red Seeds Profile | Thomas MacLaine, George Woodman, Francis York Morgan (Deadly Premonition), Emily Wyatt | Thomas is my very favorite character, and I'd love to see something about him. Please check my Dear Author letter for details!! | letter |
| ownshend | Silent Hill 3 (Video Game) | Heather Mason (Silent Hill 3) | Please see Dear Author letter for further details! | letter |
| ownshend | Marble Hornets | Jay (Marble Hornets), Timothy "Tim" W. | Masky | I really love Tim, and his struggle with his issues. I'd love a fic about him and Jay working together, or Tim having to take care of Jay while Jay's "out of it". If you want to include any other characters, that's fine too! It also might be interesting to see a fic set during the filming of the actual Marble Hornets movie! | letter |
| ownshend | DRAMAtical Murder | Seragaki Aoba | Please feel free to write Aoba with either Noiz, Clear, or Koujaku! I don't mind any of these choices. I really liked the world building in DMMD, so anything that talks a little about that and Aoba's ability would be interesting to me! But please feel free to also fit some romance or sex into that, too. |
letter |
| ptigger | Tower Prep | C.J. Ward, Suki Sato | The girls just didn't get enough time to shine in the series. I'd like something either with solving mysteries, or do they have a third roommate? Or how C.J.'s abilities drive Suki crazy (or vice versa). Pranks are also good. Bechel Test Pass is a bonus, but not required. ;) | letter |
| ptigger | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | Honestly? I'd love anything you want to do that isn't incest fic. Brother & sister bonding. Trials and tribulations growing up without parents. How they learned about & how to treat Hansel's "sugar sickness". Gretal's independence in the face of a rather midieval world. Witch Hunts. Before the movie, after the movie (if you're anxious to put in Ben and Edward I will not object in the slightest, nor will I mind if they're absent). Unrepetant fluff and (non-sexual) cuddling is OK. Seriously, Hansel and Gretal was a favorite fairy tale growing up (siblings and Gretal got to put the witch in the oven) which is why I love this movie. Please no violence worse than the canon (and I handled the unrated cut NP). Did I mention please no incest? :) | letter |
| ptigger | This Means War (2012) | Tuck Hansen, Franklin "FDR" Foster, Lauren Scott | This movie... I don't own it on DVD, but I should, as I seem to record it everytime I find it on a preview weekend. And yet the ending just... is too easy. I mean what FDR & Tuck did was flat out horrible, and they should have a terrible time trusting each other. I wouldn't have blamed Lauren if after the whole bridge thing she'd told them both to take a hike. So here's the thing: I don't care how the ships come out as long as no one gets character bashed in favor of your favorite, but please write about them working out their trust issues. I'd prefer if they're all at least friends when all is said and done, but don't feel you need to make it easy on them. (Just please no graphic violence I would prefer fade to black on any make-up sex, even fictional characters deserve their privacy). Feel free to throw in any of the main characters' friends or family members as you see fit, I like all the good guys (though Trish is kind of a bad friend at times). If you don't feel like dealing with that level of angst, then I'm sure that FDR & Tuck get into prank wars all the time. Lauren can either get dragged in or referee. |

| ptigger | Continuum (TV) | Alec Sadler, Carlos Fonnegra, Kiera Cameron | I'd really like to see more of the these three teaming up: so few episodes between when Carlos found out about who Kiera really was and when everything went to hell. I'd really like to see something where the three of them interact as a team more. Either case fic or something fluffly like a night out on the town. (Random thought: Dave and Busters + Pac Man Battle Royale-- which is multiplayer pac man where you all play at once and win" by eating the other players' pac men.) Other forms of team building that won't force Kiera into conniptions (I'm also not too sure what Carlos would think of video games TBH) would also be cool. |
letter |
| ptigger | Sarah Jane Adventures | Luke Smith, Sky Smith | ibling bonding please! Or you know, Sky visiting Luke at Oxford and helping him fight/help out a random wandering alien^TM. Can involve the words "Mom is going to kill me for letting you do that." Or not. (If you've read the SJA companion DWM special, please ignore that canon about Sky. Though if you want that random guest star they were going to try to get to show up for the next season to show up, don't let me stop you. :) K. Thx. :) Alternately, shenangans involving the crew at Bannerman Road that centers around Luke and Sky (either fluffy or adventure-y) would be cool if you want to do something like that. I love all the characters and would be happy to see anyone else you want to include as long as the story centers on Luke and Sky. |
letter |
| ptigger | The Tomorrow People (1973) | Andrew Forbes | I'd love something that's fluffy. Either a ridiculous adventure, or one of the older TPs (you have tons of choices) teaching Andrew something, whether it's Liz helping him with his homework, Mike & Hsui Tai taking him clubbing (whether he's legally old enough at the time is up to you), John teaching him to fly or build things (or maybe Andrew gets drafted to help with one of John's inventions), or Andrew gets Trig Orientation from someone who's all ready left before he joins the show. (He could be completely indimidated by meeting the famous/infamous Stephen. Or they could swap kilt stories.) Alternately, having him in school, coping with kids his own age when all of his very close friends are older and the troubles that must come with it. (Or, the complications of being a TP when you still have to go to school.) |

| railingviolets | Phantom of the Opera - Lloyd Webber | Christine Daae (Phantom of the Opera-Lloyd Webber), Erik (Phantom of the Opera-Lloyd Webber) | I'm interested in surprises and your own spin. Loads of excellent writers participate in Yuletide every year and often their vision is more important than the actual logistics of the fanfic. From experience, I prefer more Erik and Christine centered stories. Don't be afraid to push the limits! | |
| railingviolets | The Book Thief - Marcus Zusak | From experience, I love the thought of Max and Liesel together during the war when they are both feeling so adrift. Total artistic freedom here, though! Feel free to push the limits. | ||
| railingviolets | Dublin Murder Squad Series - Tana French | Cassie Maddox, Rob Ryan, Frank Mackey | I fell so far in love with this series of books it makes my head spin. Often, I feel as though I know these characters personally, especially Cassie and Frank. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Rob and Cassie from Cassie's perspective in The Likeness. It was my favorite of hers and the one I felt carried the most 'staying power' with it. Feel free to push the limits and challenge my opinions! | |
| railingviolets | Persuasion - Jane Austen | Frederick Wentworth, Anne Elliot | In my experience, love stories are much more moving and eloquent. Feel free to push the limits and take it in any direction you please! | |
| Traincat | Young Avengers | Tommy Shepherd (Young Avengers) | Tommy is basically my favorite, I love him so much, I don't want to just babble endlessly about Tommy here but actually that's pretty much what I ended up doing. I love how he wants to be a hero so badly. I love how he doesn't have feelings and doesn't hold hands, except for the part where he absolutely does. I love his relationships with the other YA members. I love his new friendship with David! I would love to see him getting to know the Maximoff side of his family some more, or a story set during the time he was living with the Kaplans. I would also love an exploration on his relationship with Billy (magic twins!), but I'd prefer the focus stay on Tommy, since Billy gets plenty of the limelight in canon. I would also also love something about Tommy's issues (and then he gets hugs?? please let him get hugs). I'm rambling on here but really I just love Tommy so I'd love any fic about him. AU where he's a supervillain who secretly wants to be a hero! Coffeeshop AU starring the world's fastest barista! We learned on volume 2 that he has the phone numbers for Eli's family, so they've obviously been in touch -- give me the story there? Or I always wanted to see Tommy and Cassie teaming up and being ~friends~. Or fic where he and David fight crime (or makeout or just go for more noodles). BASICALLY? ANYTHING WITH TOMMY. For the record I'm totally happy to get gen, but if you feel like shipfic, that's awesome and I ship: - Eli/Tommy - David/Tommy - Eli/Kate/Tommy, as an OT3. I'm not too fond of it as a triangle, or just Kate/Tommy. |
letter |
| Traincat | Ultimate Comics Spider-Man | Clone Gwen Stacy (Ultimateverse) | I love Ultimate Gwen Stacy. I love her attitude and her huge Hot Topic wardrobe. I loved her sibling-esque relationship with Peter in volume one. I love that she's still living with May Parker. I love that she and Miles are getting to know each other. Does Gwen ever get to superhero? Does she want to? She's down as "clone Gwen Stacy" now -- how does she feel about what happened to her? I just want her to be bffsies with Mary Jane, and I'd love to know her thoughts about Ultimate Jessica Drew. AUs are always welcome -- Gwen in a rock band! Gwen, secret agent! Gwen, intrepid girl reporter! As far as shipping goes, I'm not crazy about her romantic relationship with Peter. I much preferred their dynamic in the first volume. I am more than okay Gwen/MJ! Or if you want to pair Gwen up with somebody else, that's cool too! Gen is also totally welcome. I'd love something about Gwen and May in Paris, or what they're doing now that they're back in New York. |
letter |
| Traincat | Blue Beetle (Comics) | Bianca Reyes (Blue Beetle), Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle) | Bianca is basically the best comic book mom ever, fact. I'd love to see her getting to be the hero for the day and getting to rescue Jaime! I love how much Jaime loves and respects his mom. I love how family is such a big part of Blue Beetle! I feel bad because this request isn't as rambly as the others, but I assure you, I'm just as happy to get BB as my other fandoms! It's one of my favorite series of all time and anything with Jaime and his awesome mom (or Bianca and her awesome son) would be welcome! If you feel like it, I'd also love Bianca teaming up with either husband, Peacemaker or La Dama to rescue the kids! | letter |
| Traincat | Orphan Black (TV) | Alison Hendrix, Felix Dawkins | What I really really want is Alison and Felix on a roadtrip, with guest appearances by Alison's playlist, but if you don't want to write that, basically anything with them is great! Felix and Alison gave me feelings where I didn't expect them. I love how their relationship developed. Does he ever get to babysit her kids again? Do they at some point go through each other's wardrobes and make a lot of disparaging faces? Does he have to make another appearance as her acting coach? For something more dramatic and in the tone of the series, Alison is in a precarious place at the end of the first season (and Felix has an apartment full of clones). Give me what happens next? On the other hand, I am more than up for Felix and Alison just getting drunk together, or a fic where Felix compares and contrasts Alison and Sarah. He's basically running the Dawkins Home For Misplaced Clones at this point, how does he feel about all these women who look exactly like his sister but act completely different (except when they act the same)? Or Alison - her feelings towards Felix grow much, much warmer throughout the series, and she clearly views him as a confidante. I love the scene where she's hiding in the bathroom and refuses to talk to anyone but him, and his little smirk when he swans past her friends. Basically you can write me whatever for Orphan Black as long as it features these two and I will be so happy. I would really prefer gen for this request, please. |
letter |
| Traincat | Gravity Falls | Mabel Pines, Stan Pines | tan and Mabel warm my heart. Give me awesome wacky adventures! Give me Stan caring a lot and not being able to express it! Give me Mabel caring a lot and expressing it through things like SPIN ART and MATCHING GLITTER SWEATERS. Give me casefic where Mabel and Stan have to save the day! Give me Mabel, Girl Detective, with her trusty sidekick, Stanford! Give me Stan in legal trouble and Mabel Pines, attorney at law! Give me Mabel with boy problems and Stan being awkward! Give me Mabel having a ~hot~ (age appropriate) date and Stan hiding in the bushes to make sure there's no funny business! Give me Stan having a ~hot~ date and Mabel being EVEN WORSE and trying to make sure everything goes PERFECTLY. Anything with Mabel and Stan, dear Yuletide writer. Gravity Falls is my shiny happy series and these two make me very very happy. | letter |
| Traykor | Midsomer Murders | Tom Barnaby, Joyce Barnaby | Yay grumpy gruff detectives. Pre-retirement please. Stand alone is awesome, crossovers with other modern day set detective shows also awesome, especially L&O UK. See journal for a list of ones I've seen. (Don't take this to mean I won't be equally happy with stand alone) No infidelity please. Huge issue for me. |
letter |
| Traykor | Law & Order: UK | Ronnie Brooks, Sam Casey | I like Ronnie for much the same reason I like Tom Barnaby. Gruff and veteran. Like with Midsomer, stand alone would be awesome, casefic crossovers with other detective shows also awesome. See journal for a list of ones I've seen. (Don't take this to mean I won't be equally happy with stand alone) | letter |
| Traykor | Were the World Mine (2008) | Frankie (Were the World Mine), Max (Were the World Mine) | As much as I love Timothy/Jonathan, all the fic is about them! I really liked Frankie as a character, and she put up with a lot with her boyfriend being under a spell and all. So anything focused on Frankie. | letter |
| Traykor | xkcd 1190 (Time) | Main female (xkcd), Main male (xkcd) | I was one of the people who obsessively reloaded the scripted sites every few hours.

| reewishes | Continuum (TV) | Kiera Cameron, Alec Sadler | I love Kiera, and she definitely is the hero of this story. But I'm really fascinated by Alex - what is his plan? What will change his mind? What kind of game is he playing? And who else is coming back to 2012 that is going to change all of this? I'm desperate for a happy ending here, but right now it doesn't look likely. No public journal/website for a Dear YT letter, sorry! |
|
| reewishes | Grimm (TV) | Monroe (Grimm) | Monroe! I liked a lot about this show from the start -- Nick, Juliet, Portland -- all great. But when we got to see more of Monroe, his history, his quirks, his dark side - wow! I'd love to see something starring my favorite Blutbad. And while I can't say anything bad about any of the women in this show AT ALL, I have a soft spot in my heart for slash, if you want to make it work - Nick/Monroe, Nick/Renard, Monroe/Renard) No public journal/website for a Dear YT letter, sorry! |
|
| reewishes | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | I would love to see a fabulous romp in this world. And hey, if you are so inclined to go incest or explicit (or orgy!) on this, please feel free. I just love the competence, the fun, and the devotion between these two. No public journal/website for a Dear YT letter, sorry! |
||
| reewishes | Orphan Black (TV) | I would love to see more backstory here, of any of the clones, or Mrs. S., or Felix (though he is kind of an open book :). If you're so inclined, I would also love to see crossovers with the clones and other contemporary shows (Scandal, Continuum, Grimm, Revenge, X-Files... even Highlander!)

| Trialia | Lost Odyssey | Seth Balmore, Ming Numara | eth/Ming romance in any sense is all I request for this one, whether modern or long-ago. Please keep Jansen mostly offscreen, if you can, but I don't want bashing of his relationship with Ming. I don't mind if you feel you must have him featured, but no bashing please. | letter |
| Trialia | Young Wizards - Diane Duane | Carmela Rodriguez, Dairine Callahan | My request for this is just Carmela and Dairine being awesome, please. I'd prefer them to be in a relationship with each other, but if you're not interested in writing femmeslash I'd still love to just see them being their usual awesome, but together, and the focus on the two of them, at whatever age. I like most of the other characters so I don't mind who you write them around 'n about. | letter |
| Trialia | Emelan - Tamora Pierce | Dedicate Rosethorn, Dedicate Lark | Rosethorn/Lark are my favourite canonical pairing in most of my fictional fandoms. Their relationship is beautiful, even just the little glimpses we get of it, and I'd love to see more. Romance, fluff, banter, hurt/comfort, smut, anything you like. Even discussing attraction with Daja after she's discovered her own inclinations would make me happy. The only characters I don't care for are Crane and Tris, really. I haven't had the chance to read Battle Magic yet - you're welcome to include stuff from that, but please warn me if you do! | letter |
| Trialia | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Adora Belle Dearheart, Moist von Lipwig | "I won't ask you to give up... but you know I wish you would." Is there anything Moist could do to persuade Adora Belle to give up smoking? Maybe it's started to make her or one of their planned children visibly unwell (though obviously they wouldn't know about cancer or many other lung problems in the Discworld setting)? Either way, I'd like to see something on this subject if that's OK with you - and if you like to make it some kind of bet, or something with smut, that'd be nice too! | letter |
| Trialia | Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch | Thomas Nightingale, Varvara Sidorovna Tamonina, Peter Grant (Rivers of London) | Nightingale/Varvara, please! Not necessarily romantic or sexual - I always thought Nightingale was asexual or gay - but I'd love to see more of their interactions after her interview (being very careful with spoilers for Broken Homes here as I know it's not out in the US yet). Peter's POV of whatever happens might be cool, too, but he's not a necessity. | letter |

| TrisB | Luther (TV) | John Luther, Justin Ripley, Erin Gray | [SPOILERS FOR SERIES 3] Alas, poor Ripley, whose bisexual angst torn between his two loves Erin and John never came to fruition! And poor me who wanted nothing more in the universe. I'd love a story about these three, either set between series 2 and 3 or in an all-out S3 AU. OT3 or not, all I want is the sexy psychological thriller that S3 could have been instead of the womenandripleygettinghorrifyinglymurderedfest that it was. I am not at all opposed to Alice, Jenny, and/or Mark being involved - and I do like Alice/Luther of course - but it's your call. | letter |
| TrisB | Teen Beach Movie | Lela (Teen Beach Movie), McKenzie (Teen Beach Movie) | Wow, so these two were pretty gay, right? Like... unusually gay. Right?? With the feminism, and swaggering around in skimpy chiffon teddies, and the confessions about always wanting to ... "surf." Some high gay times. I imagine an AU of the movie where Lela falls for the wrong girl instead of the wrong boy, and how it gets resolved and Mack gets back to the future, and everything is applied in classic Disney Channel Learning And Growing From Our Experiences tradition from there, is so much gay gravy. | letter |
| TrisB | The X-Files RPF | Gillian Anderson (X-Files RPF), David Duchovny (X-Files RPF) | 10/13/13 - a watershed moment in real life celebrity weirdness. These two have been on a whirlwind tour of mixed signals, internet trolling, and touching in public. WHAT IS GOING ON? Personally I feel like after years of fraught tension, they've just given up and succumbed to the marriage the world has been waiting for these past twenty years. Take us behind the curtain, please. The truth... is probably not in this fic prompt, but who cares??? | letter |
| TrisB | Seven Kingdoms Trilogy - Kristin Cashore | Bitterblue (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy) | Bitterblue was my favorite book I read this year, and I want more. I would love to learn more about Ashen, how she held onto her strength and fought Leck's fog, who she was, how she taught her daughter to keep her mind together. How Bitterblue carried on without her in the years between Graceling and her own book. I'd also love to see what happens post-canon - if she and Saf manage to make it work as people who sometimes hook up and can probably never go further, if they have to transition to just friends and what that's like, and who and what else little Sparks has to discover. I adore Teddy and I'd love to see his and Saf's lesbian sisters as characters in their own right, in addition to pretty much anyone else in Bitterblue's growing unconventional family of Po and Hava and Katsa and Raffin and Bann and Mags and OCs if they're called for. There is so much progress burgeoning at the end of the book, I'd just love to see whereever you can take it! | letter |
| TrisB | Fingersmith - Sarah Waters | Maud Lilly, Susan Trinder | Hold onto your butt, I'm about to ask for a totally optional crossover! I would love to see the world of Fingersmith collide with that of The Crimson Petal and the White, about which I'll give more info in my letter. While I cannot in good conscience recommend the novel, the BBC miniseries starring Romola Garai is fantastic and I think if you like Fingersmith, this would be right up your alley - and the two would be wonderfully compatible. There's a ton of ways to combine the two - maybe Sugar publishes something at last at the same press as Maud (maybe Maud and Sue have their own press and publish her?) - maybe they're all part of the same erotica/misandrist/lesbian underground - maybe Agnes is there and doing better (and shacking up with Sugar and of course Sophie?) - maybe Emmeline Fox has found herself a most unexpected career - maybe Sue and Sugar know each other from childhood - or maybe more of a spiritual fusion than overt crossover? These are starting points but please go where the ideas take you. If you'd rather not dabble with another canon, that is A-OKAY. I just reread Fingersmith and there's so much to explore. Besides the obvious and eminently desirable Further Sexy Adventures of Maud and Sue - and what they do with their money and Briar and each other's truths - I'm also intrigued by the throughline of "madness" that runs from Susan's mother to Maud's childhood to Sue's experience, and what that means for them. Also: their relationships and lack thereof with their loved and hated mothers and surrogates. And queerness! I know he's not nominated but I was particularly struck this reread by Gentleman, who is fascinating without being sympathetic, and seductive to both girls not on his own behalf but on each other's - and perhaps on the behalf of queerness itself? There's a lot of ways you could go, is what I'm saying. |

| TrisB | Dance Academy | Abigail Armstrong, Ollie Lloyd | [SPOILERS FOR SERIES 2 AND 3] The moment Abigail and Ollie realized they were both Sammy's type because they were similar, I was done for. I love the friendship between these two and spent approximately 30% of S3 yelling about it on twitter. More broadly, Abigail's evolution from ruthless competitor to still-pretty-ruthless searcher, prickly friend, and novice haver-of-feelings has locked her up as my forever girl. I'm so delighted they will be at the company together, that Ollie has a new love interest, and that even though they've achieved what they thought they wanted the whole world is open to them - and these are two people who both have learned the hard way that winning isn't everything. What comes next, which ways will they go, and what will it mean for them as friends? If you would like to bring other peeps in, read on: I am very interested Abigail's relationships with Kat and Tara and how after Sammy's death all the rancor just stopped mattering because they had to take care of each other. Kat in particular I love - I would never say no to Abigail/Kat, either as femslash or simply dealing with the fraught reality of their history and future together. I don't think Tara's exact path was made explicit but I imagine she is at least taking classes at the company if not performing, so that continuing relationship would be interesting. I don't care much about Wes, although I do like him better than Ethan. I have no real interest in Ben and am so-so on Christian but I did like Abigail's night out with Christian. If you want to introduce Grace that's cool but PLEASE can we deal with her unaddressed mental illness? Which would in fact be interesting in terms of Abigail and her own growth. |

| ristesses | Caprica (TV) | Tamara Adama, Zoe Graystone | I adored their storyline in New Cap City, especially how they took it over. Anything set during that timeframe would be great! Maybe about them learning to work together and manipulate V-World, becoming friends (possibly more?), or an action-adventure yarn in keeping with that noir atmosphere. I'd also love to see character studies of both of them; exploring avatar Zoe's mind could be really interesting, for example, or Tamara while she's initially taking over the city. That sort of thing. More detail in my letter! | letter |
| ristesses | Carmilla - J. Sheridan Le Fanu | Carmilla (Carmilla), Laura (Carmilla) | My wishes for this fandom are embarrassingly simple: something in the vein of the book, but with the subtext decidedly becoming text. Porn is fantastic, if you feel like writing it. You can set it sometime during the story proper, maybe write a continuation or an AU (Carmilla doesn't die and comes after Laura! Laura becomes a vampire and they run off together!), or maybe something about Carmilla's previous incarnations. Hot lesbian vampires is what I'm looking for, basically. More detail in my letter! | letter |
| ristesses | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Melinda May, Skye (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) | I really, really love both of these women, and I hope they get a lot more background. In that vein: flesh them out for me! Give me backstory, give me motivations, explain to me why they joined SHIELD and what their lives have been like. I'd love to see either or both of them in action, using their individual skills to do awesome things. Wacky SHIELD hijinks, Skye working for the Rising Tide, Melinda during whatever incident that made her take a desk job - whatever. Just more of them, please. More detail in my letter! | letter |
| ristesses | Ulysses Dies at Dawn (Album) | Ashes O'Reilly | Hades | I waver between two main ideas for this: either the story of how Ashes O'Reilly became Hades and took control of the Acheron, or her fucking around with people - the Olympians, other petitioners, the minds trapped in the Acheron...anyone, anything. More specifically? Her description on the Mechanisms' site is very mysterious; maybe elaborate on her personality some. Does she have any agenda with regards to the Acheron, or is she in it for the thrill? Backstory is great, worldbuilding is excellent - you could do some amazing things with the sci-fi elements here. And feel free to add any other elements of Greek mythology you like! Play around with it, have fun. More detail in my letter! | letter |
| Trobadora | Ring of Swords - Eleanor Arnason | Ettin Gwarha, Sanders Nicholas | I love the culture clash between humans and hwarhath, and I'm particularly fascinated with Nick's experience. His history with the hwarhath in general, and Gwarha in particular, could fill an entire archive full of fic. Nicky is particularly dear to me because characters like him - those whose main traits are adaptability and lack of pridefulness - are so rare. Nicky the liar twists himself around circumstances and always, always tries to find the right angle, and is able to give in to circumstances without being diminished by it. And Gwarha, almost despite himself, loves the twistier traits in Nicky. I'd love any story that gives me these two at any point during their timeline, from Gwarha telling Nick the torture is over, to where they are at the beginning of the book, and beyond. How did they get there? Where do they go from there? Anything, really. Just something about those two, please. :) | letter |
| Trobadora | Starfire Series - Various Authors | Zhaarnak'diaano | Zhaarnak'telmasa, Raymond Prescott | I love space battles and military SF, but I'm most captivated by the enemies-turned-allies relationship between Terrans and Orions, and the relationship between Zhaarnak and Prescott in particular, from early uneasy cooperation to the vilkshatha brothers whose closeness is palpable on the page. I loved them both equally from the start, Zhaarnak the prideful bigot who overcomes his bigotry, and Prescott who decides to accept Zhaarnak's command because it's the most practical thing to do. Anything about those two would be wonderful - a missing scene from any point in their relationship (early on, what's it like for Prescott to serve under Zhaarnak? later, how did their first meeting after Operation Pesthouse go?), futurefic (how do they manage to stay in touch, once they're no longer working closely together?), or even a complete AU; gen or slash - seriously, anything. :) (The books are available for free in two omnibus editions: The Stars at War I and The Stars at War II.) |

| Trobadora | Nantucket trilogy - S.M. Stirling | Kashtiliash (Nantucket Trilogy) | I'm very interested in the uptimer/downtimer culture clash in the Nantucket trilogy, and especially in the "downtimers" who are adapting to it and whose culture is changing around them. Kashtiliash is situated right at the heart of it. I would love to see something focused on Kashtiliash dealing with this situation - the process of adapting, his constant awareness of the imbalance of power between his people and the Nantukhtar, his resentment and determination not to let them take too much control from him ... I would love to see something focused on him dealing with these circumstances in some way, through action or just in his own mind. Whether it be gen or het, whether something set during the books or futurefic (possibly a future in which Babylon's relationship with Nantucket becomes soured?), or even an AU - any story about Kashtiliash would be great! | letter |
| Trobadora | 1632 Series - Various Authors | John Chandler Simpson | In 1632 Simpson is simply a villain, but I love his development in the sequel, 1633, which makes him fascinating to me. He went all-out with a strict end-justifies-the-means strategy ... which not only failed, but proved unnecessary. Now he's living with the consequences, a theme I love. (He's also an introverted control freak, which is a character type I have always loved.) I also love competence, and unexpected competence even more so, so Admiral Simpson can be a joy to watch. *g* David Weber's short story In the Navy exemplifies most of what I love about him. I'd love anything that makes him shine, without diminishing his faults - maybe something with Eddie? with his wife, who's cut from the same cloth as he? or the reconciliation with their son? Just Simpson being Simpson, please. :) | letter |
| Trojie | Kraken - China Mieville | Billy Harrow, Dane Parnell | Any characters you like can make appearances! I just picked Billy and Dane because I reeeeeaaaaaalllly want 'on-the-run' fic that focuses on them (gen or slash). If you could possibly work in the Angel of Memory, I would die of happy. | letter |
| Trojie | Birds of Prey (Comic) | Barbara Gordon (Birds of Prey), Dinah Drake Lance (Birds of Prey), Helena Bertinelli (Birds of Prey), Charlie Gage-Radcliffe (Birds of Prey) | Babs/Dinah owns my heart, Helena and Charlie both melt it. Any combo of ladies kicking arse and possibly snuggling would be amazing. | letter |
| Trojie | Dogma (1999) | Bartleby (Dogma), Loki (Dogma), Serendipity (Dogma), Bethany Sloane | Bartleby/Loki is the pairing of my heart, Serendipity is the POV character I love the best, Bethany intrigues me. Go nuts, author - I think what I'd like best is to just know more about what it's like to be non-human and stuck on Earth, and how they coped, and what Bethany thinks of all the sudden crazy in her life! | letter |
| Trojie | Sucker Punch (2011) | Rocket (Sucker Punch), Blondie (Sucker Punch), Amber (Sucker Punch), Sweet Pea (Sucker Punch) | *chinhands* tell me all about these girls before the movie, or during it. I'd adore something from the POV of one of them, particularly Blondie or Amber. What I love about this movie is the survival-and-fighting foxholes thing the girls have going on. | letter |
| rollprincess | The Tomorrow People (2013) | Stephen Jameson (Tomorrow People 2013) | Basically, anything where Stephen is allowed to explore his abilities without angst or Jed bothering him. I just want him to be able to play with his powers for fun rather than in his own defense. | |
| rollprincess | Now You See Me (2013) | Dylan Rhodes | I just want to be able to see Dylan doing magic. Maybe a story about how he ended up in the Eye? | |
| rollprincess | Galaxy Quest (1999) | I'd really like to see Guy getting to enjoy his first time at a con as a real cast member rather than an extra. | ||
| rollprincess | Elementary (TV) | Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Joan Watson (Elementary) | Joan does end up writing a book about Sherlock which ends up becoming wildly popular. The results are both helpful and ... well, not so helpful. | |
| roubleforhire | Natsume Yuujinchou | Natsume's Book of Friends | Misuzu (Natsume Yuujinchou) | Misuzu has always been really intriguing to me. I like that he's so quick to recognize Takashi as a separate and different person from Reiko, and the ways that he needles Madara about his "bodyguard" position. I'd love to read something about Misuzu's mythology (however you envision it!) - an origin story or a tale of his adventures, or a memory he has of Reiko or of Madara, or an encounter between he and Takashi, either in Madara's absence or in spite of his presence and efforts? I'd also love a story involving Misuzu and Madara drinking and swapping embarrassing stories, or Misuzu and Hinoe discussing the merits and downfalls of the various Natsumes they have known, or Misuzu tormenting a non-Natsume human member of the cast (interfering in the Nishimura's love-life, or with Kitamoto's extracurriculars -- or! Interacting with Taki, or recollecting her grandfather, for example?) |
|
| roubleforhire | Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist | William Twining, Dantalion Huber, Kevin Cecil | ometimes it seems like Dantalion doesn't see William so much as he sees a potential connection to Solomon. Kevin hesitates acting on orders because he fears the loss of specifically William's personality. I'd love something involving their trio of tension (William so strongly connected by love - familial, platonic, or otherwise, up to you! - to Kevin, while Dantalion pursues him) as they work out Dantalion becoming connected not only to Solomon but to William himself. I like the idea of Kevin and William's mutual loyalty forcing Dantalion to acknowledge how separate from Solomon William is, and maybe considering how Solomon's situation regarding the position he's placed in by Heaven could somehow result in or contribute to William's individual nature. My favorite thing about Dantalion is how thoroughly he commits to his actions, including being carried away by rage/wrath and other emotions. My favorite thing about Kevin is his tender but determined attitude. My favorite thing about William is his pragmatism, and his willingness to do unpleasant things in order to achieve his desired outcome. |
|
| roubleforhire | Hemlock Grove | Letha Godfrey, Roman Godfrey, Peter Rumancek | Ah, my voyeuristic, unhealthily co-dependent OT3. I love all possible pairs within this trio, even with Roman and Letha's histories (remembered and otherwise), and would really appreciate anything about their dynamic and their mutual tension. An adventure in the woods? Somebody spying on the hammock down in the woods? Roman and Peter post-canon, with Letha in their cold hearts (or with them in another, spectral way?), or Roman and Letha pre-canon figuring out their feelings, or Peter and Letha during canon and both electrically aware of Roman's eyes/judgement/feelings on them? Write me anything from a tone-inappropriate domestic let's-all-be-a-family fixit AU to a gen and platonic suburban mall adventure to the story of two maladjusted boys being haunted (or helped) by the vengeful ghost of the woman they both love, and I'll be happy. |
|
| roubleforhire | Ookiku Furikabutte | Big Windup! | Izumi Kousuke, Mihashi Ren | Anything about these two! I love their sort of brotherly friendship, and the joke that Izumi is the mature and responsible member of his classmate-group despite being the youngest. I love how protective he is of Mihashi, and how frustrated he gets with Abe - both vocally and in his head. Tajima has a great read on what Mihashi is thinking or trying to communicate, but it seems to me that Izumi has the strongest sense of what Mihashi needs from his teammates and friends on and off the field. I'd love some platonic slice-of-life bonding, especially if it involves Izumi's respect for and appreciation of Mihashi's fields of specialized knowledge. I'd love to see Mihashi open up to him more. If you ship it, I will also be delighted to read pre-slash or first-time fic, and though I don't generally like established-relationship stories, I could get behind this if it's tied in with Izumi being frustrated with the way Abe is handling Mihashi. I'd also love to read future-fic or an alternate universe, if you just have to write Mihashi as the well-meaning but timid Ace Reporter who has stumbled across a Big Scoop! just in time for it to put him in danger and bring Police Detective Izumi rushing to his aide. |
|
| Truth | Bottom of the River (Music Video) | Woman in White (Bottom of the River), Woman in Black (Bottom of the River) | I'm mostly interested in the protagonist/antagonist and the setting of this particular song/video. What the heck happened here? Or what happened after? See letter for more details. |
letter |
| Truth | Ghost Ship (2002) | Maureen Epps | I adore this movie. I love the entire cast. I'd like to see something centered on Maureen, pre-, post-, AU - whatever. See letter for more details. |
letter |
| Truth | Frankenfish (2004) | Sam Rivers (Frankenfish), Mary Callahan (Frankenfish), Gloria Crankton, Eliza (Frankenfish) | I loved the characters in this movie. I loved their bravery and that they weren't cookie-cutter, 'please be eaten by the monster soon because you're annoying me' characters. I'd love to see more of them, or an AU, or a different ending, or even what happened after (which would mean you could only really use Sam and Eliza, and I'm okay with that). See letter for more details. |
letter |
| Truth | Charles Band's Puppetmaster (Movies) | Pinhead (Puppetmaster), Leechwoman (Puppetmaster), Jester (Puppetmaster), Blade (Puppetmaster) | I love these movies. With a screaming, unreasonable, illogical passion. Mostly because I love the puppets. See letter for more details. |
letter |
| kara | Monsters University (2013) | I would love some history of Dean Hardscrabble, before Mike and Sully. Pre-University, during her scare career, as a professor, wahtever you like. | letter | |
| kara | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | Normality is over-rated, but it can't be a crisis every day. Either a normal day or a small crisis, or a small crisis that gets big or something in between. That or a cross-over with the Cait Sidhe and the Aeslin mice. But I'm always happy to see stuff inthis fandom. |

| kara | Where the Wild Things Are - Maurice Sendak | The Wild Things, after Max goes home to his still hot supper. | ||
| kara | Young Wizards - Diane Duane | Nita Callahan, Kit Rodriguez | What holliday does the Lone Power come after next, after his defeat at Halloween? | |
| ock | 2 Broke Girls | Max Black, Caroline Channing, Han Lee | I genuinely love the concept of the show - two girls who have had a series of rough breaks, trying to build a new life for themselves! female friendships (and femslashability) front and centre! stories about a found family full of fuck-ups who get it wrong and keep trying because they're so important to one another that they have to get it right - but I think the execution is a little patchy in places. So, I'm going to be really cheeky and prompt a canon-divergent AU straight off the bat: In 'And The Temporary Distraction', what would have happened if Caroline kept the job? You could take this to the angsty place, with Max fearing that Caroline was going to leave her as easily as she'd left the cupcake business, or to the shenanigans place, like if Caroline proposed that they get a domestic partnership so Max could be covered by her health care in case of emergency, or anything in between. I would also be interested in seeing these three hanging out after work, as Max keeps promising she'll smoke weed with Han and he always looks so excited. I love whenever he manages to give Max a taste of her own snark, and I think she looks so pleased to have him verbally spar with her that any more mutual snarkiness would be great. I love the moments when they come together as people who care about one another, even if they suck at showing it - like when Han lets the girls use his diner, or Max decides that she's going to try and make sure Han gets a little action, or Caroline selling off her rings, so any of that sort of affection would be great (and while I love the banter, I like it best when people snark right back at Max). So any degree of caring for one another, or h/c would be great - maybe Max's mom comes back into her life? maybe Han gets ill or injured while at work? maybe the publicity surrounding Caroline's father works against their business? When it comes to shipping, I Max/Caroline and Han/Max. I know (and understand, trust me) why Max/Caroline is the fandom favourite but I've also shipped Han/Max for a while - he's so pleased at the thought of spending time with Max outside of work, and he tries so hard to engage with her on her terms - and frankly, his actions during the spanking episode didn't help. So, if you wanted a more smutty prompt, Max being persuaded to spank either of them would be awesome. For Max/Han specifically, so too would anything about genderplay with the way they both call imply the other is a member of the opposite sex, and for Max/Caroline, anything about the way they call one another Daddy (and Max has called Caroline 'Mommy', and talks about her ambition to one day be Caroline's step-mom) would be hot as well - whether that involves ageplay, or more genderplay, or just a frank discussion about acceptable sorts of dirty talk. Actually, that does remind me - someone on TV Tropes theorised that, since we don't know which one of them is older (and Max has apparently never seen her birth certificate since she says she doesn't know her birthday beyond the "two week window" her mom narrowed it down to), Caroline's missing mother might be Max's mom. I found the idea interesting (I'm not sure it's going to work with the timeline, but interesting!) so if that gives you any plot bunnies, run with it? (Incest is not a problem for me, if you are wondering). On the note of problem moms, Han's relationship with his is really interesting - he clearly cares a lot about her and talks to her on the phone a lot, but it seems like he hasn't entirely escaped the parental issues parade either since he mentions being left at home during a family holiday to practice piano. So yes, I'd also go for any kind of 'children of crappy parents working through their issues and making a little found family of their own where they are slightly less bad than their parents example taught them to be'. |
|
| ock | Nextwave (Comic) | Monica Rambeau (Nextwave) | MONICA BEATING UP MONSTERS ~TO SAVE AMERICA~ AND POSSIBLY THE WORLD That's it, that's my prompt. OK, Monica is my favourite everything. I really love how she's so exasperated with everyone else on the team, how she wants them to just be focused and beat the crap out of that thing but dammit they are also *her team* and that means something. Like she would be the first one questioned by the police if any of them went mysteriously missing, and also, they don't annoy her all the time. I also love her relationship to the Avengers, how she's still waiting for Captain America to ring her, so anything to do with that would be cool. Maybe he actually does ring, post-canon, if only to express great displeasure with how much of America she punched while being patriotic? Anything about Monica trying to get shit done in a world which did not want to let that happen - whether it's Anger getting in her way, the rest of her team, or some monsters - is going to make me the happiest Yuletider around. I like the whole team, and the way they interact with one another, so I would also be absolutely delighted with any team shenanigans, or with Monica spending time with any combination of the rest of the team. Maybe it's a mission where they have to work together to fight against some evil monster. Maybe it's a Gift of the Magi style thing where they brave the shops on Christmas Eve and come up with some spectactularly awful presents. I love adventure fic but I'm also such a sucker for anything about close friends and found families, so I can't think of anything I wouldn't like with a team fic. If you want to write something shippy, then I'd love to see her top the shit out of Steve Rogers. (Not literally, scat is not my thing.) I can picture her fantasizing about riding him until he admits that she was the best leader the Avengers ever had, but I can also picture her swooning a little inside if he ever did suggest that he appreciated her. |
|
| ock | Paris Qui Dort (1925) | Criminal/detective slash or pre-slash or wacky hijinks with time-freezing technology aww yiss I ship the two of them with one another because I have a thing about exceptional circumstances forcing people to see something new in one another and also the power dynamics between the police officer or detective figure who devotes themselves to tracking down a particular criminal are really interesting to me. So, maybe anything about how their experiences with the ray taught them a newfound respect for one another? More scenes during the frozen time period of the two of them discussing how easily the detective started breaking the law now that nobody is around to tell them otherwise, or anything later about how their relationship started back up again as though they had never stopped? (I know I mentioned 'shenanigans' but I think the story as a whole has a lovely melancholy feel to it amongst the moments of comedy, and that would suit the tone well). As for shenanigans, what sorts of exhibitionist sex can you get up to when the whole city is frozen? Or (and which I like just as much!), where would each of them want to go, now that they can go anywhere, and what would they do? I know we saw elements of what the group would do, but I'm curious about these two in particular - you could frame it as a sort of wooing thing, where breaking in to the Bastille became a sort of date, or not, if you prefer. I'm open to gen between them as well, especially since the concept is so cool - the two of them outside of time in a city where they can do anything, breaking in to places and stealing shit and doing whatever they want together. As long as the detective didn't spend the whole time angsting about how the criminal was a horrible person or whatever (because the detective clearly does not care! Look how quickly he joins in with all the burglary and forced entry stuff!) then I'm sure I will think it is wonderful :) |
||
| ock | Guns For Hire (Movie Concept) | Lucy Liu's Character, Gina Torres's Character | In which they are lesbians and fabulous noir cliches. I would love casefic, or anything about Lucy Liu's detective meeting Gina Torres' femme fatale for the first time (like maybe Liu's detective goes to hit up a contact at a jazz club - or other suitable location - and just happens to catch the eye of Gina Torres, who's performing that night), or a car chase scene. I would also love sexual tension, unresolved or otherwise, and the sort of flirtation/seduction noir does best. On the note of time periods, I know a lot of noir happens to be set in the 40s but not all of it is! If you are worried about whether or not I care about historical accuracy, the answer is "I am impressed by it, but basically all about the lesbianism here so don't worry about it if you don't want to" and set it whenever you want. Some of my favourite pieces of noir are actually set slightly in the future, and I'd really love to see the noir setting combined with more fantastic concepts like a Cosmic Horror film noir story, for example. That said, 40s and 50s settings are more than fine by me if that's what inspires you. I'm fine with sex in the story but again, noir + lesbians is the whole appeal here for me so if you want to go the pwp route I'd prefer it if you kept the film noir tone. No non-con please! |

Lena/Julian happy times? Julian seeing Lena/Alex kissing? Julian considering the cure in his heartbreak? Julian moving on (Hana? Dude, how perfect and yet—another girl who can never love him back?!)? I'll take anything as long as it's ALL JULIAN ALL THE TIME. | letter |

Do the children try to set Ed and Taylor up? THE WORLD MUST KNOW. | letter |
| vconnoisseur | Gallagher Girls Series - Ally Carter | Preston Winters, Macey McHenry, Cameron Morgan | I loved United We Spy, but I feel like Preston got the short stick. He didn't really help them at all, his dad died, and his obsession with Macey had strangely been replaced by his reliance on Cammie? I would love a book either dealing with his experiences in United We Spy or a post-canon look at what his world is like. Bonus points for Macey/Preston and explaining his fixation on Cammie in the final book. | letter |
| vconnoisseur | Seven Kingdoms Trilogy - Kristin Cashore | Bitterblue (Seven Kingdoms Trilogy) | I would love to see post-Bitterblue Bitterblue. Her transformation over the book was amazing and I'd love to see her further grow into her role as a ruler and a kickass woman (but in a completely different way from Katsa's kickassness). Bitterblue/Saf is fine, but my OTP is Bitterblue/Gideon—I love how Gideon's interactions with Bitterblue show how much he's grown since Graceling and how fantastic a fit he could be for Bitterblue (and how awful he fit with Katsa). Bonus points for Katsa/Po cuteness and general Bitterblue angst/awesomeness. |

| Twilight2000 | Quantum Leap | Sam Beckett, Al Calavicci | What a wonderful surprise. I loved this series - I loved Al and the "waiting room" and all those little historical incidents you didn't see coming! I love "Team fic" and anywhen Sam ends up should be a blast! | |
| Twilight2000 | Star Trek: Rihannsu - Diane Duane | Arrhae i-Khellian t'Llhweiir | It's been years since I read this, but it was far and away my favorite of all the Trek novels I read. Period. Any adventure with these characters would be grand. It would be interesting to see how Spock interacts with her, should he run into her - it would be a trip to see more of how she deals with McCoy and the Ensign. I can't wait to go adventuring with Arrhae again! | |

| Tyleet | Revenge (TV) | Emily Thorne, Nolan Ross, Amanda Clarke | Emily/Nolan would be rad as hell, but I also love Emily/Amanda, Amanda/(Emily)/Jack, Nolan/(Emily)/Jack, and Nolan/(Emily)/Amanda (There may be kind of a pattern here.) I'd also be into Emily + Nolan, or Nolan + Jack or Amanda. | letter |
| Tyleet | Elfquest | Rayek (Elfquest), Kahvi (Elfquest), Cutter (Elfquest), Venka (Elfquest) | OH MAN, anything would be awesome, but especially Cutter/Leetah/Rayek, or Kahvi/Tyldak, or Kahvi + Venka, or Rayek + Venka, or Cutter + Venka with the absent specters of Rayek, Leetah, and Kahvi in the background. I have kind of a thing for messed up, untraditional families, and it doesn't get better than Rayek choking out "Thank you for raising my daughter" while Cutter tries to kill him. BUT HONESTLY, I JUST LOVE ALL THESE CHARACTERS, SO ANYTHING YOU WANT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL. |

Ax and Tobias after the end of everything? Tobias rescuing Ax from the thing with the mouth after the actual end of everything? The AU where Elfangor lives? Tobias/Rachel or Tobias + Ax, and Elfangor + Tobias + Ax, please, no incest. | letter |

| zy | Fallout: New Vegas | Tabitha (Fallout: New Vegas), Rhonda (Fallout: New Vegas) | o if you repair Rhonda-the-Mister-Handy robot and resolve the conflict with Tabitha-the-insane-supermutant who is in love with Rhonda, you get an ending slide that says: "Tabitha and Rhonda went east, through Caesar's land. Occasionally tales of their exploits found their way back west, though few believed them. Eventually the stories concerning the duo were collected and published, and proved to be quite popular with children." I want a tale of their exploits! |
letter |
| zy | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman | The ending left it just open enough to imagine Jesse getting away. Sure, maybe he runs right into the cops on their way to the compound, but... BUT. *Maybe* he doesn't. Maybe he's actually free. I am totally NOT ASHAMED of wanting to see Jesse get a happy(ish) ending. Sure he's probably suffering from some pretty heavy PTSD (though I think going all Princess Leia on Todd might've been worth a few therapy sessions...), but he's alive. I want to see him find some peace. |

| zy | Dishonored (Video Game) | Piero Joplin, Anton Sokolov | These two end up reconciling and working together to create the advanced arc-pylon--and in a low chaos ending, they create the cure for the rat plague.

She's like Sarah Connor and Indiana Jones put together. I'm super intrigued by her relationship with Sheriff Corbin--she traveled widely and collected artifacts for him? All while he kept his relationship with her secret from Abbie? What's that all about? I'd dig a story about her pre-series, off finding some artifact. Or something about Corbin, and his relationship with both sisters. Or more delightfully awkward Ichabod trying to get the sisters to get along so they can fight the apocalypse. |

| llman | Boy Meets World | Shawn Hunter | Gen. For example something exploring his relationship with Cory's dad throughout the years. Or his relationship with George Feeny or Jonathan Turner. |
|
| llman | Luther (TV) | Mark North, John Luther | These two just about personify what I love about a pairing: lots of angst, tension, snark and love! Nothing sappy or sentimental for the two, both because I'm not fan of sap or sentimentality because they're both such, well, blokes. And while I am an absolute sucker for a happy (or at least hopeful) ending, I do like my angst. | |
| llman | The Wire | Stringer Bell, Jimmy McNulty | A slow build of their relationship, or a nice established relationship. Or both. Some conflict/tension between these two seems pretty much inevitable at some point, and I'd just love to see the sparks fly between them - banter, snark and love that's what I'm getting from these two: nothing sappy/sentimental, that's for sure. Oh, and I really am a sucker for realistic but happy endings even for a potentially complicated pairing. | |
| llman | Sons of Anarchy | Tig Trager, Chibs Telford | Tig Trager has to be my absolute favourite TV character, and I have nothing but love for how he's portrayed by Kim Coates. Tig's chemistry with Chibs is something I'd love to see explored in a realistic way. I'm never a fan of anything sappy/sentimental but with these two it's definitely not an option: raw and real is how I like 'em, and angst is more than welcome as long as it serves a purpose (but surely that goes without saying) but I would like to end on (at the *very* least) a hopeful note. Thank you! |

| nbidden_truth | Sungkyunkwan Scandal | Moon Jae Shin, Gu Yong Ha | I have so many conflicting feelings about this drama, but my two favorite things are Jae Shin and Yong Ha. Anything with those two interacting would make me happy. Either scenes from their past or potential scenes that might happen afterwards. Whether Yong Ha has always had feelings for Jae Shin. Dealing with "potential" attraction or just even their friendship. Both of them being happy farmers in the outskirts of Hanyang/Seoul would be lovely. Gen or slash would all be great. | letter |
| nbidden_truth | Hawkeye (Comics) | Lucky (Hawkeye), Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) | Kate Bishop is one of my favorite characters in all of Marvel!verse so really any fic involving her will make me happy. I would love to see gen fic with her working on a solo mission much like the Hawkeye annual or just a slice of life fic. And having Lucky involved would be fun. I've read the earlier YA run and am reading the current YA run so any crossover with characters from either series would be great as well. Pairings are great too if that's something of interest. | letter |
| nbidden_truth | Young Avengers | America Chavez (Young Avengers), Kid Loki (Young Avengers), David Alleyne (Young Avengers), Teddy Altman (Young Avengers) | Anything with America would be lovely, especially exploring her past and what motivated her to join the YA. Or having America deal with Kid Loki or America and Leah bonding over dealing with Kid Loki would all be great. With David anything that explores his past, his sexuality, his attraction for Teddy. I'm a little behind but, I would be happy to read about Teddy's feelings after that kiss and his relationship with Billy. While I'm very much Billy/Teddy, I would love to see the potential love triangle and the angst of first love be explored more. Again with all these characters, gen or any pairings would be great either way. |

| ndauntra | Chronicles of the Kencyrath - P. C. Hodgell | Canon: 6 books, available in ebook for a total of $28 if you do clever omnibus edition things http://www.baenebooks.com/c-70-chronicles-of-the-kencyrath-by-p-c-hodgell.aspx Notes: - Yes, I requested 'Any'. I don't have prompts for all of the nominated characters, but I'd be happy to read about any of them! If you already have an idea in mind, feel free to ignore the prompts: - Tirandys in Perimal Darkling, dealing with where honor's paradox has brought him. Tirandys training up Jame. - Jamethiel Dream-Weaver POV on bearing a daughter to be her own successor, and the son who wasn't part of Gerridon's plan - Brenwyr as Tyr-Ridan AU - Kinky Bane/Jame porn: Play with consent and the idea that Bane is the aggressor, but he's blood-bound to Jame. Depending on where in the timeline you write, Bane could be either alive or dead. I am okay with either. |

| ndauntra | Enchantment Emporium - Tanya Huff | Charlotte Gale | Canon: 1 book, available in ebook for $6 http://www.amazon.com/The-Enchantment-Emporium-ebook/dp/B0028256FC/ (There is also a sequel if you enjoy the first book, but I believe the nom was for the first book, not the series.) Notes: - Feel free to fic in setting-appropriate languages if desired. Compliance with Bill 101 for fic set in Quebec is amusing, but not required. (Chiac fic set in Moncton would be amazing.) - My favorite pies are key lime, pecan, and lemon meringue. I'm just sayin' If you already have an idea in mind, feel free to ignore the prompts: - Canadian content: Take Charlie somewhere else in Canada and give me the local flavour! Winterlude in Ottawa, Haida Gwaii totem poles, etc. - The incest is canonical: Warm fuzzy Allie/Charlie. Or awkward but sincere Allie/Charlie/Graham. - Gale reproduction meets modern medical technology: Turkey basters, IVF, the Human Genome Project, etc. What if the number of Gale boys born were no longer a limiting factor? |

Available in ebook for a total of $25 http://e23.sjgames.com/search.html?gsys=In%20Nomine Notes: - Don't feel constrained to the nominated characters. If you want to write about Staciel or Soldekai or Israfel, go right ahead! - Original Characters: Go nuts! Tell me about your character. Seriously, the main point of tabletop RPG is to provide a setting for OCs. - Celporn: Celform xeno, plucking scenes, Elohim talking philosophy, etc. It's all Forces anyway. - I am a sucker for a good redemption story. (Or fledging, for that matter.) - This fandom is an exception to "no kidfic" for celestials only If you already have an idea in mind, feel free to ignore the prompts: - Trade cutting in on The Game's turf with Game Theory. (And "James Bond" is totally a reference to the financial instrument.) - Aftermath of the Purity Crusade - Nybbas eaten by his Word - AU versions of Superiors: Mercurian Laurence, Malakite Marc, redeemed Nybbas, never-fallen Malphas, whatever. Go nuts. |

(Don't worry about the novel; all I want is stuff from the novellas.) http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/32390 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/30639 Notes - Issuefic is fine, given the canon. If you take this option, please stick to canon-appropriate issues and jargon; make it a period piece, as if you were writing in the 1960s. - Don't feel constrained to the nominated characters. If you want to write about Kenny Ballalou or Rex Donaldson, go right ahead! If you already have an idea in mind, feel free to ignore the prompts: - Isobel Cunningham and Abe Baker: the Columbia years. (Either shippy or not.) - Isobel Cunningham POV for the end of the first novella - Abe Baker and the Communist Party: Just how did Anton get to know him? - Bey-ag-Akhamouk and Guemama foil relationship: both Tuareg, but with very different backgrounds. Do they envy each other? - Bey-ag-Akhamouk's adoptive family: How do they react to Bey's role in a revolutionary movement? How does Bey respond to their reaction? - Worldbuilding: Tell me about El Hassan's North Africa. |

If you'd rather write about Suzanne Montignet or Michele Altaloma or Ralf the Wise and Powerful or someone else, go right ahead. - Although Trent and Denice are sometimes lovers, I see their connection as going deeper than romance. They're family, they're both tremendously isolated by their talents and their drive to make the world a better place, and they have this huge shared background that no one else alive can ever understand. - I love the attention to background detail in this setting If you already have an idea in mind, feel free to ignore the prompts: - Carl once said "I am a man, who is not sane." Denice has a lot in common with him, both genetically and in terms of environmental stress. How precarious is her sanity? - Trent backstory for how he and Jimmy and Jodi Jodi got together - Trent: Show me Trent through the eyes of the various women in his life, from Jany to Melissa du Bois to Mahliya Kutura. - "Killing is wrong": Trent as Denice's conscience. Denice as scary as fuck without one. |

| ndauntra | The Guardian Project | Canon: One video, pdf comic, and bio each per character. Mostly available online for free. (Mostly because the wayback machine might have missed something, but don't worry about it.) http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=66928 http://web.archive.org/web/20130402052012/http://www.guardianproject30.com/ Notes - Bring the crack! - Don't feel limited to the nominated characters. If you want to write about the Blackhawk or the Canadien, go right ahead! - Or make up your own characters based on past and future teams. The Jets, junior and senior? The North Star, tangled in trademark infringement lawsuits with Marvel comics? - Forget the Deven Dark metaplot - Since this canon is largely visual, fanart is totally appreciated! If you already have an idea in mind, feel free to ignore the prompts: - Stan Lee got lazy fix-it: Pick a character, and tell me how you would have designed them differently! - Mythologize NHL wank: Did the Thrasher take a bullet for the Coyote? Are there villains based on the lockout or the Shanabanhammer? - The Coyote can summon coyotes, but, where do they come from? Does the Coyote have to pick them up again after each combat to resupply? Are they being hoovered up from the wilderness? What's your idea? - Cryptozoology support group: It's not easy being the Devil. When he gets tired of small children screaming at the sight of his face, sometimes a guy just wants to hang out with a jackalope or a sasquatch. - Horrible puns: What if the Oiler were a misunderstood mathematician who wanted to be "The Euler" - but the reporter wrote it down as "Oiler", and he was too shy to correct it? - Crossover with Bon Cop, Bad Cop: Hockey-themed superheroes. Hockey-themed criminal. Go nuts. |

| ndomielregina | Once and Future King series - T. H. White | Wart | King Arthur, Guenever (Once and Future King), Lancelot du Lac (Once and Future King) | I'd really love to see them work things out. They're all canonically in love with each other already. But both Arthur and Lancelot feel too constrained by duty and honor and service to God to ever even consider the possibility of making their love for each other known, and Guenever has them both already. So I keep wishing there was some way they could work out, because I can't shake the belief that if they had, the entire tragedy that ends Arthur's reign would have been averted. They're just a few scant inches from it already, held back by so little. I'd love a story where they figure out how to be happy. | letter |
| ndomielregina | 花の騎士 | Hana no Kishi | Tennou Ibara, Ohtori Sei, Kurono Ran | I would adore an OT3 fic, because those three really are perfect together. Otherwise, I'd love Ran/Sei, as long as Ibara stays their close friend, or just friendship fic involving all three of them, as long as Ran and Sei's relationship continues to be as gloriously full of loyalty kink as it is in canon. I'm happy with futurefic set during or after the time when they're working to dismantle the Ohtori or something set during canon. Since we know the duels continue after the last one we see, I'm up for some swordplay too. | letter |
| ndomielregina | Hyakujitsu no Bara | Maiden Rose | Ashley (Hyakujitsu no Bara), Katsuragi (Hyakujitsu no Bara) | Did Katsuragi sacrifice Ashley deliberately in pursuit of his own ambition? Or did he just lack the position and the clout Taki has and had to watch helplessly? Why did Katsuragi leave the army? Did he just enter civil service because the Home Office was a route to greater power, or did he want that power because he couldn't save Ashley? Or is he spying for the Western Alliance in revenge, as a couple panels hint he might be? And was Ashley a victim in all this or am I right in seeing a pedophilic undercurrent in some of the panels where he and Katsuragi are depicted together? | letter |
| ndomielregina | Goblin Market - Christina Rossetti | PWP with Lizzie and Laura sounds great. So does fic about how what happened with the goblins affects their future relationship. According to the poem, both sisters grow up to have children of their own, and I wonder how everything worked out after the one good day we see in detail. I'm also curious about what exactly happened to Jeanie. And worldbuilding or backstory about why the goblins are selling this enchanted fruit would be really amazing. There's a lot that happens without very much space to tell it, so any elaboration or expansion will be loved and appreciated. | letter | |
| ndomielregina | X-Treme X-Men | I do ship Hercules/Howlett, and I'm intrigued by Dazzler/Cyclops. I wish the latter had had more time to develop some, but I was interested by where they seem to be going. I would love backstory fic for any of the nominated characters other than Dazzler. I would also love fix-it where Kurt doesn't die. Or I would love fic where the surviving team goes to Tartarus with Howlett to get both their dead teammates back. I know Howlett is going regardless, but I'd really like it to be a team thing rather than something he does on his own. Although Howlett fighting his way past Chiron and Cerberus and through the shades to convince Hades to return his lover would definitely be an adventure worth reading. If you happen to have read both, I'd kill for a crossover with Exiles, especially since the Age of Apocalypse Sabertooth was a major player in that title and also died during X-Termination, or a fic where the team visits one of the worlds the Exiles once helped. Maybe the multiverse hopping the team has been doing has been destabilizing things and getting the Exiles attention? | letter | |
| ndomielregina | Bi no Isu | Nirasawa Shuu, Kabu Nariaki | I have been reading Kobi no Kyoujin, and if you want to write something extrapolating on future events there, I'd be completely on board. I'd also love fic set in the four years between the end of Bi no Isu and the beginning of Kobi no Kyoujin, so something post-canon if you've only read the first series. Basically, I'd just like to see these two use violence as a way of showing that they care, and completely fail at interacting with each other emotionally. I was also really fascinated by the way they just kind of unthinkingly fall into what very much reads as a D/s dynamic in the last couple chapters of Bi no Isu, so if you wanted to explore that, it would be wonderful. And I would more than happily take a PWP, too (especially one with a bit of focus on Nirasawa's scars and Kabu's tattoo, yum!) | letter |

| niquepov | Lewis (TV) | James Hathaway, Robert Lewis (Lewis) | I adore Hathaway, so any fic that is James-centric is good with me. I ship Robbie/James, but if you ship James/someone else - come on and convert me! =) I adore h/c, angst, plot, getting-together, undercover-as-a-couple-leads-to-getting-together, domestic fics, don't mind dark or graphic content, even character death if it fuels the story, but I prefer at least hopeful ending (HEA/HFN not required). Intrigued by BDSM or D/s fics (sub!Hathaway preferred if Lewis/Hathaway). I'm not much for AUs (although alternate timelines following specific episodes ok), infidelity, genderbending/crossdressing (xdressing ok for undercover!fic, if nec), watersports/scat, or chan (the one exception being references to Hathaway's past, if that's your head canon for him). Any rating is a-ok, from gen case!fic right on up to XXXSMUT. ;) Would love to see a fic where: James opens up to Robbie about a past trauma (your choice) after being triggered by a case/victim/witness (this could be gen or Lewis/Hathaway) and Robbie figuring out how to help him deal/comfort him; (post Fearful Symmetry) James' uncharacteristic reaction to the case leads to Robbie discovering his secret bondage kink; James may be younger, taller, and fitter, but Robbie is definitely the one in charge; Robbie invites James to spend the holidays with him/his family, and Mark/Lyn/both? mistakenly assume they are partners in more than work (with perhaps Robbie/James not realising the misunderstanding right away?); (post Falling Darkness) James and Robbie need to help Laura deal with the aftermath of nearly being buried alive (gen/friendship or even Hathaway/Hobson/Lewis) ... these are all only suggestions, though - if you have a flash of inspiration for a fic, I am sure that I will love it. |

| niquepov | Kinky Boots (2005) | Simon | Lola | I adore h/c, angst, plot, getting-together, pretending-to-be-a-couple-leads-to-getting-together, domestic fics, don't mind dark or graphic content if it fuels the story, but I prefer at least hopeful ending (HEA/HFN not required). Intrigued by BDSM or D/s fics. I'm not much for AUs (although alternate timelines following specific episodes ok), infidelity, or watersports/scat. Any rating is a-ok, from gen!fic right on up to XXXSMUT. ;) Would love to see fic where: Lola has fallen hard for Charlie, but keeps her silence when she sees him with Lauren; Lola/Charlie/Lauren fic (think the dancing/celebration scene); How Lola copes with moving to Northhampton and leaving the club behind; How Charlie (and Lauren?) help Lola settle in and find her place; How Lola shows Charlie (and Lauren?) their proper place(s)... at her feet. ;) |

| niquepov | Beauty and the Beast (TV 1987) | Vincent (Beauty and the Beast (TV 1987)), Catherine Chandler (Beauty and the Beast (TV 1987)) | I loved Vincent and Catherine's romance. Any story that explores that is <3. Include some Rilke or Shakespeare and I'll love you forever. I adore h/c, angst, plot, getting-together, protector!Vincent, domestic fics, don't mind dark or graphic content, even character death if it fuels the story, but I prefer at least hopeful ending (HEA/HFN not required). I'm not much for AUs (although alternate timelines following specific episodes ok), infidelity, genderbending, watersports/scat, or rape/non-con (unless used as the "hurt" in H/C fic). Any rating is a-ok. | letter |
| niquepov | Love Actually (2003) | Rufus (Love Actually) | Would love to see how Rufus made sure Natalie's Christmas card made it into the random sample for David to read. Or what role he played in getting Jamie and Aurelia together on Christmas Eve. Or, really, showing us his "unseen" scenes in any of the other love stories. (I saw an interview where the director said that Rufus was originally a sort of Clarence/angel figure and had a small part to play in all of the stories...) |

| nquietspirit | MythBusters RPF | Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters), Adam Savage (Mythbusters) | Jamie and Adam have one of the most fascinating partnerships on TV, in my opinion, and I'd love a fic that explores it, platonically or not. Behind-the-scenes-on-tour!fic would be AWESOME (I'm going to their December 6th show, so don't fear spoiling it for me), or something inspired by all the photos Adam posts of Jamie on Twitter. (SO MANY PHOTOS.) Or, y'know, whatever. For more ideas on my likes and dislikes, clicky the link below, which actually goes to my list of fic kinks and triggers. |

| nquietspirit | Font Conference (CollegeHumor Video) | Helvética (Font Conference), Comic Sans (Font Conference), Wingdings (Font Conference), Times New Roman (Font Conference) | Typographical humor is the best, innit? That's really all I'm looking for here. It's up to you whether you want to consider the sequel video to be canon. Personally, I like to think of Helvetica as the deity of the fonts. (Yes, I'm one of those people.) If you want to get fancy with coding, you might even be able to change the font of their dialogue. I think that's possible, right? Oh, and if you want to ship something, I'm personally fond of Times New Roman's stuffiness contrasted with Wingding's mayhem.

| nquietspirit | American Pickers RPF | Frank Fritz, Mike Wolfe, Danielle Colby Cushman | My precious OT3 of junk! Yeah, I'd die for some Mike/Frank/Dani (that I didn't write myself). I love Mike's compulsive need to give people things and how he's a dreamer with a shrewd business sense. I love how Frank's a cuddler and a cat person and thinks Gene Simmons is hotter than Kim Kardashian. I love how Dani packs boots and books when she goes on the road and how she's always reminding Frank to take his vitamins. You could maybe write how they got together (my personal headcanon is Dani dated Robbie first after meeting Mike at that garage sale, but feel free to throw it out the window), or domestic fluff, or Five Times Mike and Frank Brought Home a Gift for Dani, or Dani actually going through with installing a heart-shaped three-person hot tub in the shop and surprising the boys with it. If you're not feeling the OT3 even after reading the posts in my tag, maybe go with some lil!Mike and lil!Frank meeting for the first time in the 8th grade, and how they became friends? Or... something? I don't have any more platonic suggestions, but I promise that doesn't mean I'll hate your fic. My brain just keeps sticking threesomes into all my prompts.

| nquietspirit | New York City (Anthropomorfic) | The Chrystler Building (NYC) | As of signups ending, I've lived in NYC for one year and five days. This request is my way of getting someone else to write the love letter to the city that I can't find the words for. The Chrysler Building is my favorite of all buildings, both for its design and its history. I'd love for the fic to reference that history in some way. Beyond that, go wild! Maybe the Chrysler's viewpoint as the city ages? Its love/hate relationship with the Empire State Building? The Flatiron Building as a witty sidekick? The bridges of the city as siblings? (The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is a symbol of my neighborhood, by the way, so bonus points for working it in somehow.) You could even mention the Twin Towers or One World Trade if you feel it could be done in a respectful way.

letter |
| nquietspirit | Real News RPF | Anderson Cooper (News RPF) | Real News RPF is my "home" fandom, and Anderson Cooper is that one special famous person of my heart. I ship him with basically every male person under the sun, so you really can't go wrong here. But if you're looking for specific ideas, I'd kill for more Anderson/Sanjay Gupta, or, on the platonic side of things, Anderson & Isha Sesay or Anderson & Rachel Maddow. Of course, you can always fall back on my bulletproof ship, Anderson/Keith Olbermann. Or some combination of these relationships, or none at all. Most of my own fics feature Anderson. If you want to remix one, I'd be delighted. For more ideas on my likes and dislikes, clicky the link below, which actually goes to my list of fic kinks and triggers. |

| nsettled | Nightside Series - Simon R. Green | John Taylor (Nightside), Razor Eddie, Dead Boy (Nightside Series) | What I'd really love is something John/Eddie (though the logistics of that are rather twisty) especially if it touches on the hints of a past between them from the first few books. Porn is nice, plot is great, emotions are fantastic. | |
| nsettled | The Unwilling Warlord - Lawrence Watt Evans | Vond (Unwilling Warlord), Sterren (Unwilling Warlord) | Please please please something Sterren/Vond! While I would LOVE something slashy, I would also be just as pleased with something just diving a little more into either's thoughts through the book, especially Sterren's reaction when Vond disappears, or after the book ends. | |
| nsettled | Pagan Chronicles - Catherine Jinks | Pagan Kidrouk, Jordan Roucy de Bram | omething slashy between Pagan and Jordan would be fascinating, from either the dirty/bad/wrong/noncon angle or more of a 'change of mind' type angle. | |
| nsettled | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Richard Mayhew, Marquis de Carabas (Neverwhere) | Would like to see something featuring these two in any way, shape, or form! | |
| nsettled | Body of Lies (2008) | Hani Salaam, Roger Ferris, Ed Hoffman, Aisha (Body of Lies) | Honestly I just want something in this fandom that wasn't written by me or my two friends. >.> Any pairing, any rating, any subject at all, whatever grabbed you about the movie. | |
| Untherius | Emberverse - S. M. Stirling | Mary Havel, Astrid Larsson, Eric Larsson, Mike Havel | One of the really interesting things about the Emberverse is that there's so much happening in the periphery that we barely see. So what's happening further south during the first Change Decade? We know most of California is one big wasteland. But mundanely, we also know there are many out-of-the-way places that could easily weather that horrific first year: the NorCal coast; the Klamaths; the Shasta country; the upper Pit River; the Modoc Plateau; the northern Sierra Nevada. And by extension the Rogue Valley of southern Oregon. The Dunedain Rangers aren't just armed escorts, of course--they're the eyes and ears on what's happening elsewhere. So there's this ten-year gap between AMaC and SL. There must be some more stories to be told about that time. I'd like to see more of the Larsson-Havels. What sorts of things happen to and with Mary and Ritva along their road from cute eight-year-olds to formidable Valkyric warrior-maidens? Is it more of the same for Astrid and Eric, or do they continue having growing pains associated with Mike's death and the near-collapse of the Protectorate? |
|
| Untherius | Jurassic Park (Movies) | Clever Girl - Character | We all know the movie from the humans' point of view. Are things different from the velociraptors' perspective? Surely they're driven by more than just the instinctual drive to hunt, kill, and eat. Does that Clever Girl know some things the humans don't? Are she and her fellows even smarter than the humans think they are, even to the point of being self-aware? What's her real motivation? | |
| Untherius | Twisted Princess (Disney Fanart) | Aurora (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Pocahontas (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Rapunzel (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Maid Marian (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01) | These are the stories the Brothers Grimm didn't dare tell! How does Aurora become the Girl With No Eyes? All the Colors of the Wind have come down to just one: the Color of Blood. And Pocahontas is driven to paint with it! How did Rapunzel's wide-eyed innocence give way to brooding angst? If she's died inside, does she still have a dream? What drove Maid Marian from her noble estate to the situation shown in the drawing? |
|
| Untherius | Disney Princesses | Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Rapunzel (Disney Princess), Belle (Disney Princess), Merida (Disney Princess) | What if the Disney Princesses went Steampunk? What effect would that flavor lend to their stories? And since Leia Organa-Solo is also technically a Disney Princess, feel free to include her, too...and extra points for Steampunk-esque Star Wars tech! | |
| Untherius | Urusei Yatsura | Moroboshi Ataru, Ten (Urusei Yatsura) | Urusei Yatsura was one of the first anime shows I saw when I lived in Japan as a child. It remains one of my personal iconic anime oevres. When I left, though, I lost track of the characters and their story, leaving me with a few unresolved questions. Do Ataru and Ramu ever marry? If so, does he ever get over his skirt-chasing propensity, or does he become a devoted husband with eyes only for her (I like to think he does because...seriously!)? What's their relationship like? What are their children like? Or can they even have children, seeing as how she's an alien? If not, is that a source of tension? Do they live on Earth, or on Ramu's homeworld? Do Ataru and Ten ever resolve their differences? How does that affect their relationship as Ten grows up? |
|
| Untherius | The Three Investigators | Die drei ??? - Various Authors | From the very first book, the mysteries encountered and solved by the Three Investigators invariably turn out to be so much smoke and mirrors. They sleuth out the truth, collect the evidence, then turn it over to the grown-ups, who then do all the heavy lifting. But what happens when Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw, and Bob Andrews encounter something real, something beyond their ken (and their Barbie, and all their other action figures)? And this time, maybe they're entirely on their own in the face of the Zombie Apocalypse! Do they turn their secret hide-out into a mobile tactical unit? Do any of their families survive, or is it just them? Whom do they meet along the way? This scenario could be epic in scope and this piece of it, told by you, just one chapter. | ||
| nveiled | Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu | Legend of the Galactic Heroes | Yang Wenli, Walter von Schenkopp | Anything with these two -- in-canon preferably, or canon-based AUs. They're my OTP for LOGH, but if you don't think you can slash them I am perfectly happy with flirty gen. A more detailed Dear Author letter will be linked to from the sidebar of my Tumblr once the sign-ups are done. |

| UrbanAmazon | Ninja Assassin (2009) | Mika Coretti, Raizo (Ninja Assassin), Ryan Maslow | I enjoyed this movie far more than I thought I would. I'd like to explore the idea of what happened after the attack on the compound and Raizo finding his new freedom. Whether it's a look at him checking up on Mika throughout her life and wherever her career takes her (careful and fleeting like paying for her coffee at a bistro, or sending her a blank postcard), or maybe crossing her path (or even Ryan's) when he needs help, that would be awesome. Romance or platonic, no big preference, and I'm okay with the canon-typical violence of this particular movie. Further details can be found at my tumblr account listed here: thisnewdevilry.tumblr.com |
letter |
| UrbanAmazon | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | Non-shippy, please. I love their partnership, their banter, their trial and error and experimenting in living in the same space. If you feel up for a case-of-the-week challenge, I will read it gleefully, but I'd also be very excited for a more benign (comparatively) slice of life, like 'The War of Good Tea vs Starbucks', or 'That Time Watson Caught Holmes Studying Societal Microcosms via MMORPGs', or 'The Winter Watson Shared her Room With Bees.' Further details can be found at my tumblr account listed here: thisnewdevilry.tumblr.com |
letter |
| UrbanAmazon | Tremors (1990) | Burt Gummer, Heather Gummer | Okay, this is my one slightly crazy request. I love this movie. A lot. I love its humour, its competent characters, its teamwork, its script, and its monsters. Burt and Heather tickle me to bits. I'd love to see a glimpse of what they did immediately after the first movie. Build a better bunker? Go on a cryptozoology hunting tour? Disturb the hell out of a marriage counselor when they had their issues? I'd love to see some zany fun and madness, whether it follows the canon of the other three movies and TV show or not. Heck, Burt and Heather, Vampire Hunters sounds awesome. Further details can be found at my tumblr account listed here: thisnewdevilry.tumblr.com |
letter |
| UrbanAmazon | Warcraft III | Vol'jin (Warcraft III), Thrall (Warcraft III) | With every new development of Warcraft lore, the friendship of these two has been my favorite part and looks like it will continue to be. I would dearly enjoy any kind of exploration into Vol'jin's head or perspective on any point in the saga, whether it's the first meeting between these two chieftains, or the most recent trials they've faced head-on. Even something little, like differences between troll and orc culture or mentality. If I had to pick a favorite between the two, Vol'jin is just so phenomenally badass and unwavering. I don't slash these two — I see them more as battlefield comrades more than anything. I'm also not opposed to original characters if they help with getting a new perspective in, or any horror or gore. Further details can be found at my tumblr account listed here: thisnewdevilry.tumblr.com |

| Vae | Chronicles of the Cheysuli - Jennifer Roberson | Alix daughter of Lindir, Duncan of the Cheysuli | I'd really love to see something about what Alix and Duncan did while Carillon and Finn were off gathering their army, how the clan moved, how they established their keep. Otherwise anything that looked at how Alix and Duncan found a way to work with their cultural differences - maybe not everything was about Alix learning the Cheysuli ways. Or how did they clash over raising Donal? | letter |
| Vae | Lucifer Box - Mark Gatiss | Lucifer Box, Charlie Jackpot | Absolutely anything with these two would be wonderful! AU where Charlie survived (perhaps he did and Lucifer didn't know?) or how they worked together before the war, or how Charlie adjusted to being back in England after living in Italy... | letter |

Did they get down off the roof without being arrested? What happened to Max's PTSD? Did Jude manage to stay on good terms with immigration? What happened to Lucy's idealism? AUs are always wonderful - how would these three have met in another time? |

Shakespeare doesn't give us much of Puck with Titania, so how do they think of each other? Does Puck aggravate quarrels between them? (Threesomes, whether V or triad, are always welcome.) | letter |

| Valancy | Tanz der Vampire - Steinman/Kunze | Alfred (Tanz der Vampire), Graf von Krolock | Alfred is my favourite character, and though his encounters with Krolock are brief in the musical, they fascinate me. I at least get the feeling that Krolock is trying to appeal to the emotional side of Alfred that Alfred is exploring, but also to the hidden dark side Alfred doesn't feel comfortable exploring though it somehow attracts him, too. And Alfred, though afraid of Krolock and the vampires, can also grow to understand them a bit... I'd like to see a more extended meeting between Alfred and Krolock than we get in the musical, exploring a bit more what these two characters want and what they can talk about with each other. It could be some alternate version of the events of the musical where they have more interaction, it could be after Alfred has been turned into a vampire and tries to understand what has happened and what the undead life is like, or it could happen in some alternate universe where Alfred doesn't change into a vampire at the end of the musical... Or whatever you come up with! Just please don't portray Alfred as stupid and let him be a three-dimensional character. It can be gen or slash or whatever. I do request that there'd be no Alfred/Herbert, though, as that's not my kind of pairing, though their canon type interaction is fine. Please no non-con or graphic violence (vampire bites are OK if the story goes that way). | letter |
| Valancy | Elisabeth - Levay/Kunze | Elisabeth von Österreich-Ungarn | Elisabeth of Bavaria (Elisabeth - Levay/Kunze), Rudolf von Österreich-Ungarn | Rudolf Crown Prince of Austria (Elisabeth - Levay/Kunze), Franz Joseph I (Elisabeth - Levay/Kunze) | One of the things that fascinate me both about the musical and about the historical people are the family dynamics between these three, and I would love to see a story involving that. The way Rudolf rebels against his father and looks for his mother who distances herself from both, the difficult relationship between Franz-Joseph and Elisabeth and their inability to see what is going on with Rudolf... It's all so sad, so human and happens all too often, and I'd love to see a story exploring their relationships to each other more. I feel sympathy towards them all and I hope the story will show some, too. Feel free to either base it fully on the musical or also use the history if you're interested in that. You can use other things about the musical as you like, including Death, but I'd prefer it to be centred on these three characters, and it's fine if it doesn't involve Death at all. | letter |
| Valancy | Disney Princesses | Rapunzel (Disney Princess), Belle (Disney Princess) | Belle and Rapunzel are my two favourite princesses, and I'd love to read a story that shows the two of them meeting and doing something together. Maybe one of them runs into the story of the other, or it can happen before or after their canonical stories take place. It can be a friendship story, another fairytale adventure, a coming-of-age story for them both, it can also be femmeslash if you like. I just hope Belle and Rapunzel are going to like each other and somehow each get something from the other. Their respective princes can either be included or not be included, whichever works for you, but please don't bash them. | letter |
| Valancy | Anne of Green Gables - L. M. Montgomery | Dora Keith | Though I love these books, I always felt Dora got treated a bit unfairly both by the narrator and by other characters, seeing her as nothing but so perfectly good that she's boring, and having no real personality. It feels unfair because people always are three-dimensional and more than just surface, and it feels like Dora isn't given a chance to be such. I would love to see a story that shows a bit more to Dora: shows that a good girl can actually still be an interesting person, and that she has her own emotions, thoughts, her own pains and fears and sorrows. You can do whatever you want with this, but here are some things you might explore, if you're looking for a starting point: How is she able to be so perfectly behaved when nobody has brought her up to be so — is that really an innate characteristic or some kind of a psychological reaction to the conditions she grew up in? How does she feel about being constantly in the shadow of Davy who, let's be honest, can treat her quite harshly? Does she wish that Anne and Marilla paid her more attention and could see behind her outer shell and see that she's also a person? Do they at some point fail to see what she really needs because the more colourful Davy takes up their attention? Does she every once in a while do something that's not so perfectly behaved? Does Dora end up saving the day on some surprising occasion? Just please give me a Dora who is a allowed to be a person and three-dimensional, and who isn't considered boring just because she's a good girl and less attention-demanding than her brother. |

| valderys | Sarah Jane Adventures | Luke Smith, Clyde Langer | My love for this show is epic and undimmed. My forever ship is Luke/Clyde who I think are clueless but lost without each other. I would love something with these two and their friendship/relationship. I do love the girls and Sarah Jane, so by all means include them but it's Luke and Clyde I love. Particularly Luke - and this is a little off the wall but Tommy Knight is now in Waterloo Road and I watch Kevin and see Luke. If you wanted to write me a crossover fic with this show I would love you forever! | letter |
| valderys | 15th Century CE RPF | Richard Duke of Gloucester (15th Century CE RPF) | I've never asked for an historical RPF for Yuletide before, but considering Richard III's body has been found, it seems an appropriate thing to request. I am a bit of a Ricardian and would be grateful if my author could be sympathetic to him. Any period of his life would be wonderful - pre or post kingship, with Anne Neville, anything at all. Personally, I don't believe he murdered his nephews but if you can write it and make it convincing I'll even take that... | letter |
| valderys | The Ten Stupidest Things I've Heard Since Richard III's Remains Were Identified (Blog Post) | Richard III (Ten Stupidest Things), Henry VII of England (Ten Stupidest Things), Elizabeth II of England (Ten Stupidest Things), Tudor Osteologist Spy | Ok, this is my off the wall request, which is a little unfair, but I too have been reading some REALLY STUPID comments about Richard and all the fuss surrounding him. Now I am a bit of a Richardian so I'd be happy if Richard was treated sympathetically but please make this fic as crazy as you want otherwise - mad stalkings, insane osteologist spies, Richard clones, whatever you want, go to town - please, I'm begging you :) | letter |
| valderys | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) | Umm. I missed the nominations or Phil Coulson would be available in the character list - which he is not. Which I find a touch unbelievable. Anyway, moving on - I'm leaving the character field blank because I wanted a fic that had Phil front and centre, but I realise these optional details are optional, which means I may not get that - but still, world-building fic would be good - team fic would be good. Something with Lola in it would be great :) Maybe even fic where Lola and the Bus talk about the silly humans they have to cope with? (maybe Tony's souped them up, I don't know) Hey, knock yourself out - anything with snark, sass and Phil Coulson would be fantastic. By the way, if your tastes lean that way, I am a slash fan and an extra bonus Clint Barton popping into this fic would not be at all unwelcome! | letter | |

| valmora | Judge Dee Mysteries - Robert van Gulik | Miss Violet Liang, Dee Jen-djieh | Di Renjie | I'm pretty un-picky here, but if you wanted to write a fic following something about Miss Liang (pre- or post-marriage), and/or her being Mongolian rather than Han Chinese, I would be especially delighted. I'd be delighted with anything, really, though. | |
| valmora | West Bank Story (2005) | Fatima (West Bank Story), David (West Bank Story), Ariel (West Bank Story), Ahmed (West Bank Story) | Anything taking place after the story - rebuilding efforts, Fatima and David being together, Ariel and Ahmed having to learn to work together? Any and/or all of these things would be delightful. I'm okay with social commentary (clearly) but I'd rather the fic not take sides, and nothing particularly dark, please. (If you want to ship Ariel and Ahmed I would be 900% down with that, but it's not necessary.) |
|
| valmora | Almost an Angel (1990) | Terry Dean, Steve Garner, Rose Garner | Terry/Steve is all I ask for. (If you want to write fix-it or happy-end fic I'm cool, but it's not necessary.) Also, Rose having some agency would be cool too. | |
| vampireisthenewblack | Stargate Universe | Eli Wallace, Matthew Scott | Eli and Matt get stuck on a planet somehow (the gate breaks or Destiny goes out of range or something) for an extended period of time and have to work together to survive. And slash would be awesome, but if that's not your bag then bickering and epic bromance is totally cool :) I'd probably love you forever if there was some kind of horny alien sex plant action. |
letter |
| vampireisthenewblack | Being Human (UK) | Hal Yorke, Nick Cutler | I'd love a flashback/past fic with these two paired. I prefer things to fit into canon, so no wild AU's if possible. I don't give a hoot as to dynamics, so do what you like :) I LOVE blood drinking/biting/etc. If slash isn't your bag, action packed fights or angsty drama is great, too! |
letter |
| vampireisthenewblack | Blood Ties | Henry Fitzroy (Blood Ties), Mike Cellusci (Blood Ties) | lash would be lovely, but whatever really, anything is good even if it's just Henry messing with Mike's head. Also, blood is awesome. If slash isn't your thing, gen is good. Maybe a short casefic? Something for them to bond over. | letter |
| vampireisthenewblack | Revolution (TV) | Miles Matheson, Bass Monroe | These boys were besties back in the day, but was that all? Yeah, I'd love there to be a little bit more to their backstory. If slash isn't your thing, gen is cool. I like angst and bloody fight scenes, anything dramatic. | letter |
| VampirePaladin | Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland | Lionela Heinze (Atelier Rorona) | Lionela is such a wooby! I'd love anything about her life before or after the games. I'd love to see her interacting with characters from any game in the Arland series. I'd also love to have her magic explored more. If you want to write a ship I'd love her shipped with Rorona, Sterk or Esty, but I am open to any ship with her from any of the three games. | letter |
| VampirePaladin | Ame-Comi Girls | Kara Jor-El (Ame-Comi Girls) | I want to know all about Power Girl's life before the events of the comics. What name did the Kents give her? What was her childhood and teenage years like? What are some of her early adventures? I'd also totally love fic after they have created their version of the Justice League. I'd love to see more of her relationship with Supergirl or Batgirl. If you are stumped for ideas for Power Girl I would gladly take fic about Supergirl or Batgirl instead (if Yuletide allowed for OR matching I would have selected all three). I wasn't too happy with her relationship with Jimmy Olsen though, so I would prefer not to have that. However, I wouldn't mind either Kara shipped with Barbara and I am not adverse to other het or femslash relationships. I'd also love a crossover with a magical girl series like Precure, Tokyo Mew Mew, Madoka Magica, etc. I also love crossover ships. |
letter |
| VampirePaladin | Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk (video game) | Ayesha Altugle, Linca | I love the interactions between these two. I'd love to see either friendship or romance between them explored. I can totally see Marion encouraging a relationship between the two of them. I want to know more about both of their lives and interests. While I plan to get the sequel as soon as it is available in North America, I am avoiding spoilers until then. | letter |
| VampirePaladin | Hyperdimension Neptunia | I am familiar with all three games and the anime. I will gladly take something based on any of them or your own verse taking elements from all of them. I also love OCs in this fandom based on consoles and makers. I just ask that you keep console and makers female to fit with the rest of them. I love all the nominated characters and will gladly take fic on any of them. I do ship Nepgear/Vert and Plutia/Ultradimension Blanc if you are interested in writing ship fic. For Capcom, Cave, MarvelousAQL, Tekken and MAGES. I would gladly take any combo of them, them shipped with other makers or them shipped with maker OCs. I'd love something in line with the humor of the series, but I'd also love something darker and more serious. I'd also like to see more references to gaming outside of Japan. |

| VampirePaladin | Star Ocean: The Last Hope | Reimi Saionji, Sarah Jerand | o I love these two ladies and I just want to see something with them together. I like them as friendship or shipped together. Reimi is just so badass standing there with a bow and no magic and I love Sarah the ditzy girl with wings that can't fly. If you decide to write them shipped together then you can include any other background ships you want. I'd love canon divergence or an AU. |
letter |
| VampirePaladin | The Legend of Dragoon | Miranda (Legend of Dragoon), Albert (Legend of Dragoon) | Once again, I totally would love to see these two shipped together, but you don't have to. I want to know more about their responsibilities and the future of their countries. I would love to see an AU where Miranda was sent to help Basil in the war. I don't really care for Princess Emille or the instant true love between her and Albert. It would also be cool to see an AU where Lavitz never died and Shana never lost her Dragoon Spirit. You can deal with that however you want in ship fic or if you are writing gen then I would prefer if she just wasn't mentioned. |

| vassilissa | Call the Midwife | I would like them to still be 1950s midwives and nuns in East London, but apart from that go wild. If you were waiting for a chance to write that 1950s zombie apocalypse fic, or give Chummy her very own psychic wolf companion, or show Cynthia and Jenny solving a locked room murder mystery, or Trixie delivering an alien baby, feel very free. Or whatever other story you want to tell about them. For this fandom, I would like gen or f/f or poly please, no m/f or m/m please except as background. Ensemble fic would be really good for this one. | letter | |
| vassilissa | Imaro - Charles Saunders | Katisa (Imaro), Tanisha (Imaro) | I would love to see something about Tanisha or Katisa having awesome sword and sorcery adventures on their own without men. Imaro is such a cool book, but so painfully sexist, and I would really love to see a more fully realised version of one or both of these characters. Big points for passing the Bechdel test. I'd rather this one stay in its original setting, not an AU or a crossover. | letter |
| vassilissa | A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth | Savita Kapoor | I'm particularly interested in her life after the book. Does she become a lawyer? Does Pran die young or not? Do they have more children? (Bonus plot bunny: what if Savita succeeds Mahesh Kapoor as the politician in the family? Maan pretty much can't, any more, and Pran's temperamentally unsuited to it but would make a great political spouse.) Or if you'd rather write about the events of the book itself, how about Pran and Savita's early marriage? They are Lata's (and the book's) outstanding example of a successful arranged marriage, and I think, while they were well suited to begin with, their success is largely down to both of them being highly considerate and decent people who were willing to work with each other. And that's one of my favourite romance tropes, a couple learning to live with each other and love each other after getting married. Or there's how Savita copes with the ups and downs of her family by marriage over the course of the book, although please keep the focus on Savita herself and her own development, rather than Savita as a support for Pran or Maan or Mahesh. One more thing: please don't divorce Savita and Pran. | letter |
| vassilissa | Akata Witch - Nnedi Okorafor | What I like best about this book is how in some ways it's such a traditional 'magic school' children's novel, and in some ways so totally different. The first thing I thought when I finished this book was "it's a stand-alone? Damn, I want a whole series just like that!" So yeah, obviously I'm not asking you for a whole series, but a continuing adventure of Sunny and her friends would be wonderful. I'm mostly hoping for gen fic in the style and setting of the original, but if you want to throw some appropriately YA romance in, that would be fine too (any gender combination is fine) although I'd prefer it not to be the focus of the story. No adult/minor sex, please. | letter | |
| veleda_k | Cain Saga and Godchild | Cain C. Hargreaves | Cain is my very favorite, and I'll love anything with him in it. I ship Cain/Riff like burning, and I love his relationship with Neil and Merryweather especially, but anything is good. | letter |
| veleda_k | Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena | Himemiya Anthy, Tenjou Utena | Anthy/Utena is my OTP, but I'll love anything that captures their beautiful, complex relationship | letter |
| veleda_k | Orphan Black (TV) | Felix Dawkins | Felix is my very favorite. I especially love his relationships with Sarah, Mrs. S, and Alison. I'd prefer no PWP, but that doesn't mean no sex or romance. | letter |
| veleda_k | Baccano! | Claire Stanfield, Chane Laforet | I love these two and their strange romance. Really anything you do with them is wonderful. | letter |
| veleda_k | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Irene Adler | Moriarty (Elementary), Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | Ooh, there's so much potential with these three. I'd love a case-fic or something similar, but anything is great. One request: please keep Sherlock and Joan platonic. | letter |
| VelvetMouse | Master Li and Number Ten Ox - Barry Hughart | Li Kao, Number Ten Ox | Further adventures of Li Kao and Number Ten Ox! No Master Li/Ox slash please - keep them in the mentor/student, grandfather/son relationship that they have in the books. One idea that popped into my head (feel free to use or ignore!) was to begin a story with: "Usually, when Master Li solved a case, it stayed solved. But not this time." | letter |
| VelvetMouse | Cats of Grand Central - Diane Duane | Rhiow | I'd love some exploration of the consequences of the team's trip Downside at the end of Book of Night with Moon, particularly with regard to the fact that Rhiow became the Queen for a little while. Surely that must have further-reaching consequences than we see in the book - an effect on Rhiow's magic, her personality, her view of the universe? I only listed Rhiow in the characters, as I'd really like a story to focus on her, but I love all the other characters too, so feel free to include them if it fits! | letter |
| VelvetMouse | Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey | Talia (Valdemar), Rolan (Valdemar) | It is fairly conclusively proven in various books in this series that Companions (particularly Grove-born) can MindSpeak with whomever they damn well please, regardless of that person's Talent (or lack thereof). So I put forth this question, dear author: How would the Arrows books change if Rolan actually MindSpoke in words to Talia? Don't feel you have to rewrite the whole Arrows series (although I certainly wouldn't say no!), just an exploration of how a particular event/scene might turn out differently (or not). Barring this track, I'd be totally happy with anything sort of missing scenes that explored Talia's time as a student at the Collegium, or right after her internship. I love all the students and teachers around there at that time, so feel free to bring in whomever else suits the story. | letter |
| VelvetMouse | Law & Order | Jack McCoy, Claire Kincaid | Jack/Claire. Anything from slice of life genfic to PWP. If you've got an idea/scene/scenario, run with it. If you're looking for a little inspiration, try some of these: What are they like outside the office, how does their relationship actually work? Where do they go on dates, what do they do for fun? First kiss/first time. Does Adam Schiff really not know that they're together? (I find that hard to believe. He's pretty aware of what's going on with his EDA...) Does anyone else find out/come close to finding out? The only thing I would ask is that you stay away from Claire-death-fic. But other than that, have a blast writing these two however you want. | letter |
| Venturous | The Bridge (TV 2013) | Sonya Cross (The Bridge US), Marco Ruiz (The Bridge US), Adriana Perez | Marco and Sonya work a case that could crack the serial femicide plaguing Juarez. Sonya and Adriana work closely together, leading to more intimacy than Sonya was prepared to handle. bonus for bi-Sonya wrangling her feelings and her spectrum personality Remember these are but suggestions. Follow your Muse! |
letter |
| Venturous | Breaking Bad RPF | Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad RPF), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad RPF), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad RPF) | Cranston and Paul's mutual infatuation creates problems on the set, and an exasperated Gilligan must step in. pretty soon he realizes he is way over his head.... or... after the cast moves on to other projects, Aaron continues to be deeply affected by the role of Jesse. He cant quite shake the trauma (or the strong feelings he had for his co-star). He reaches out to Bryan for help. remember these are but suggestions. Follow your Muse! |
letter |
| Venturous | Luther (TV) | John Luther, Alice Morgan, Mary Day, Justin Ripley | After that rooftop scene - Alice/Mary. Luther is bereft, but (hot and) bothered. Alice assures him she still loves him, and he knows it's better this way, but he hates Mary corrupted by Alice. Turns out he really doesnt know her that well, does he? ;-) He saves Ripley, but in the process creates more trouble for himself. Luther/Ripley or not, as you wish. Cameos from Mark, Shenk, Jenny, Erin all appreciated. these are just suggestions: follow your muse! |
letter |
| Venturous | Breaking Bad | Jesse Pinkman, Walter White | several ideas: ghost!Walter, ala Dexter's father, both guides and torments Jesse as he rebuilds his life. appalachin mtns, Cold Mountain x-over Jesse post-finale, coping with the past. vivid memories of Walter, good and horrid. He finds a new home, a place for healing. Alaska Northern Exposure x-over? Marie's doorstep? Jesse ten years on, eventually connects with Brock and Kaylee, (Brock/Kaylee if you like) who have found each other by 'coincidence.' What do they need to know. Stir in Holly and Walt, Jr. in the Next-gen mix as needed. variation on the above: Jesse is in prison. Holly Lambert, age 15, writes to him to learn about her dad. remember these are but suggestions. Follow your Muse! |
letter |
| Venturous | Top of the Lake | GJ (Top of the Lake) | Healing stories from Paradise - recovery, grief, birth and rebirth, healing into death, mystical happenings under the stars... Robin and her mother do the best they can; remember these are but suggestions. Follow your Muse! |

| VerboseWordsmith | Batgirl (Comics) | Stephanie Brown (Batgirl), Wendy Kuttler (Batgirl), Barbara Gordon (Batgirl), Cassandra Cain (Batgirl) | I adore Steph and she's the character I most want fic about but I would be really happy with fic centered on Cass, Babs or Wendy as long as Steph shows up. I love the relationships among team Batgirl and I'd really like to see more with that. Legacy/legacy heroes are some of my favorite things in comics and something I always like to see explored. I'd prefer plot over character study, but I'm pretty easy about how I define plot. I love fandom tropes and AUs almost as much as I love Steph so you really could write a Bat-lady centric cliche au of your choice and I'll love it as much as I would a canon-compliant casefic or futurefic where the reboot didn't happen. | letter |
| VerboseWordsmith | Young Avengers | America Chavez (Young Avengers), Teddy Altman (Young Avengers), Eli Bradley (Young Avengers), Kate Bishop (Young Avengers) | I love Kate's everything so a Kate-pov adventure would be fantastic from any point in her hero career. I also love Teddy's everything and would like anything from how he met Billy to complicated identity stuff to Teddy's pov/commentary on recent adventures. I also love America's everything and I like Eli a lot. My kingdom for fic about America and Eli meeting, especially if you can do something with the idea of legacy and how they'd be linked to Captain America in the media. And of course, team adventures would very much be welcome. I'm not picky about which incarnation of the team you write about and I love AUs, so feel free to change things up. | letter |
| VerboseWordsmith | Young Justice (1998-2003) | Cissie King-Jones (Young Justice Comics), Kon-El (Young Justice Comics), Cassie Sandsmark (Young Justice Comics), Bart Allen (Young Justice Comics) | per early days YJ is kind of my favorite thing ever, so I'd love team fic set around then. Bart and Kon's friendship is a thing of joy so them just being ridiculous kids together would be awesome. I love Cassie and Cissie's friendship (and generally how great YJ-era Cassie was) so I'd love to see fic about that or it highlighted in team adventures (which could be anything from failing to cook dinner to saving the world). I'd really love to see some follow up on Cissie after retirement because Cissie's story arc is really interesting and so much could have been done with it. | letter |
| VerboseWordsmith | Arrow (TV 2012) | Thea Queen (Arrow TV), Oliver Queen (Arrow TV) | I'm still early in season 1 with plans to catch up with season 2 in the next couple of weeks and I'm broadly familiar with the comics Arrowfam. Which means: go wild with AUs and speculation and crossing over canon and don't worry about spoilers. I love Thea to pieces and would really love to see more fic about her. Pre-canon is great, Thea and Ollie's relationship or Thea and her messed up family would be great, I will love you forever if you write something about Thea becoming a hero. | letter |
| VerboseWordsmith | Hawkeye (Comics) | Kate Bishop (Hawkeye), Lucky (Hawkeye) | I'm a little behind on Hawkeye but you can't go wrong with the continuing adventures of Pizza Dog. Or Kate. Kate's my favorite Marvel lady and I love a lot of things about her. And right now especially, I'm loving that she's in two books and would really love to see more fic where she juggles her [mis]adventures with Clint and being on a team and figuring out how to do this hero thing now. | letter |

| VerySleepy | Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams | My preference is for something that matches the voice, humor and banter of the original. Who is in it doesn't really matter much -- heck, I would even be happy with a guide entry to something weird (or a guide entry that shows how weird something completely banal actually is). Really anything will do if it feels Douglas Adams enough. The entire original is crack of course, so you can't go wrong with going cracktastic, but as I said, whatever feels good to you. Make it Adamsy and I'll love it. Not deeply interested in pairings of any sort, but if you are, I suppose Arthur and Fenchurch are cute together. I also generally prefer pretending the last book never happened. |
||
| VerySleepy | Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse | Reginald Jeeves, Bertram Wooster | What I find compelling about the original is how good natured it is. I'd like something that matches that sort of pleasant, brightly lit tone and voice of the eternal prewar weekend party. That's the most important thing I'm looking for. I picked both Bertie and Jeeves because it wouldn't be a Jeeves and Wooster story without both of them being present, but in the original it might or might not be Bertie getting himself into some sort of minor problem -- Bertie can just be the narrative voice if you prefer. As always in the original, the best sort of driver would be a minor problem that seems like the end of the world to all concerned, and, if so, Jeeves must, of course, come to the rescue. Beyond that, whatever sparks your imagination is wonderful. Heck, be as crackulicious ("Bertie's cruise ship is attacked by Captain Jack Sparrow in a giant mecha, Jeeves straightens everything out") or as mundane ("Bertie's friend "Gloppy" Thistle-Welles promised his wife he'd be home on Thursday to entertain her mother but he wants to be at the races instead, Jeeves fixes everything") as you like. If you at all can, though, give it the warm socks and tea feeling of Wodehouse -- that's what I'm after. My preference is that romance, if present (I'm not opposed or looking for it either) be as subtle as in the original -- I suspect anything else would break the Wodehouse mood -- but it might be amusing if Bertie spends the whole story trying (as usual) to avoid entanglements with some woman he's been set up with only to have it turn out that he actually likes her. |
|
| VerySleepy | Alice In Wonderland - Lewis Carroll | Alice (Alice in Wonderland) | Nothing constrained Lewis Carroll's imagination and I'm not going to constrain yours, though it would be nice if the story was set in the world of Wonderland or Through The Looking Glass, rather than being anything from the "normal" world. If you enjoy writing it, I'll enjoy reading it. | |
| VerySleepy | American Gods - Neil Gaiman | Run with your imagination. I'd very strongly prefer something close to original flavor if possible, but beyond that the universe in question is wide open and I don't see why you shouldn't have fun. Significant preference for Baldur "Shadow" Moon to be the POV but if that doesn't float your boat feel free to ignore me. Please have fun writing it. | ||
| VerySleepy | Girl Genius | The whole series is wildly imaginative, so I don't want to constrain you too much. To the extent that I have an opinion on what I'd enjoy, my favorite bits in the original are where things go lunatic over things like chase scenes etc. I'm mad for mad scientists doing mad science, in other words. If it inspires you, I suspect I would really enjoy something that feels like the original but is as over the top as possible -- think the "Perfect Cup of Coffee" scene but feel free to turn the dial to eleven. Not very interested in romance, but if you want to add it, keep it light and vaguely to canon. Most of all, go crazy and enjoy yourself as much as possible. |
||
| VerySleepy | Real Genius (1985) | Jordan Cochran, Mitch Taylor | I love these two characters (and think their interactions are super-cute). Thank you for writing in this universe, I can't wait to see what you come up with. | |
| ViaLethe | Black Ships - Jo Graham | Gull (Black Ships), Aeneas (Black Ships) | First of all, I do ship Gull/Aeneas, so anything shippy about them would make me happy (with or without Xandros; a OT3 is good too)! I'd love to see something that touches on how Gull managed the balance between adviser and oracle to her Prince and being a friend to Neas; they're such different roles, and hard to separate at times in canon. Was there a time she couldn't separate them, and gave advice she knew was wrong as a result? I'd also be interested in a story that takes place after Xandros's death and deals with how things changed between Gull and Aeneas then, or just the different sort of issues they faced running a small kingdom versus those they had on the journey there. Please see my letter for further details! |
letter |
| ViaLethe | The Almighty Johnsons | Anders Johnson, Gaia (The Almighty Johnsons) | I'd love to see anything shippy between them — what if Gaia had stayed in NZ after becoming Idunn, rather than going to London? What exactly was going on in that nightmare AU of Axl's where Anders and Gaia appeared to be married and Axl was...a tree? Or tell me a story of what happened after the S3 finale. Maybe Gaia came back to NZ (where there would actually be people who remembered her) and met up with Anders again — how would that go? Was it really all just Bragi and Idunn or would there be something left there? A story about Gaia's time in London would also be cool. I'd love to know what she was getting up to there and if Anders ever tried to communicate with her in any way during that time. I'd also love to know how she felt if/when she ever found out that Axl basically killed Anders because of what happened between them. Or maybe Anders hallucinated that Gaia was with him again while he was recovering from that massive blood loss... I do love all the other characters (except Colin), especially Ty, Dawn, and Michele, so feel free to bring any of them in as well! Please see my letter for further details! |
letter |
| ViaLethe | Nine Coaches Waiting - Mary Stewart | Linda Martin, Raoul de Valmy | I'd love to see what happened to Linda and Raoul after the story's over. Did they ever come back to Valmy, or did they avoid it entirely? A slice of their life with Philippe down at Raoul's place in Provence would be lovely, or a story about some adventure they had while traveling, or a missing scene from the book — I'd love to see that first date of theirs written out in greater detail. Wedding night fic wouldn't go amiss either, if you wanted to go a smutty route! Please see my letter for further details! |
letter |
| ViaLethe | Mortal City - Dar Williams (Song) | The Girl (Mortal City), The Guy (Mortal City) | Tell me about the second date they had, or the friendship they developed afterward. It would be interesting to see him take her on a tour of the city, pointing out all his favorite spots, or just sitting and doing some people watching, making up stories for everyone they see walking past. Or maybe they travel to other cities and find differences and similarities between them all. Something that brings the brother in would be cool too — maybe they each give him their version of events, or we see their developing relationship through his eyes. Please see my letter for further details! |
letter |
| ViaLethe | Greek Mythology | Aeneas (Greek Mythology), Cassandra (Greek Mythology) - Character | I'd love to see shipfic for them, but feel free to take a platonic or even psuedo brother-sister take on these prompts if you'd prefer! I'd love pre-war fic, where he's the only one who tries to understand her, or befriends her even though he doesn't believe her at all. Post-war fic where her ghost appears to him and advises him through his adventures and travels works too, or a major AU where the Trojans win the war and everyone lives! If you do write shipfic, a doomed, one-sided, pining thing is okay with me, as is a more requited pairing where they're just trying to enjoy whatever time they have. I'd prefer no adultery on Aeneas's part, though. Please see my letter for more details! |
letter |
| vibishan | The Brothers Bloom (2008) | Bang Bang (Brothers Bloom), Stephen Bloom | I ship Stephen/Bang Bang really hard, and I would love love love a story about the two of them - how did Bang Bang first fall in with the brothers? Why did Stephen decide to make an exception for her regarding the 'never working with people twice' rule? Why did she stick with them? How desperately intrigued was Stephen by her, and how did he come to know her despite how little she spoke? What ridiculous (or surprisingly simple) gestures did he win her over with? Or did she let *him* know when they were an item? Do they ever make it official at all, or do they just get on so well it doesn't matter? What lies has he told her? What happened that time she blew up a bunch of his stuff? What elaborate rituals and running dares and wordless understandings do they have? How many roles have they played, and how many countries have they kissed in? How many odd sports has she beaten him soundly at? I love this movie and these wry, funny, crazy characters to bits and I want to see a love story for them, explicitly romantic or just - them, doing what they do. | |
| vibishan | Y: The Last Man | Ciba Weber | I love Ciba. I really, really want to see more about her navigating her complicated role as the non-Russian mother of the Czar, or a reflection on how a woman in her position raises her son - what does she teach him? What does she tell him about his father (fathers)? Ciba/Natalya welcome but gen is fine too. She must have been an amazing woman, and we got to see her so briefly. Anything about her life that canon didn't give us would be awesome. | |
| vibishan | Kushiel's Legacy - Jacqueline Carey | Lucius Tadius | Lucius is my absolute favorite. Can I get something post-Kushiel's Scion for him, please? Preferably something where he gets a cute boyfriend who actually returns his feelings and/or a comfortable polyish arrangement with Helena? I just want him to rebuild his city and be happy. Could be bittersweet bonding/recovery stuff with Helena as long as it's hopeful (and doesn't erase his Kinsey 4/5ishness). Horrible/Hilarious interjections by Gallus totally acceptable, because I don't believe that old rascal would stay down for long. Do you? XD | |
| vibishan | Special Unit 2 | Nick O'Malley, Kate Benson | o this show was terrible, but I loved it. I always imagined the show was dystopian - not because of the people-eating monsters, but because of all the torture and blackmail and gleeful genocide the Special Unit cops got up to without any restraint or supervision. The show was so directly from the killing-the-Other-is-awesome Id, even when the monsters were sentient, even when they *weren't* lethal, like the gnome informant they abused so much, because only *humans* get rights. I'd love to see anything set in this universe through that lens - the corruption of power and designating who counts as a person and believing it's for the greater good. It could focus on Nick and Kate - the show itself is sort of Nick teaching Kate to feel more this way - or the Chief, or just the history of the Unit. (I listed Nick and Kate instead of 'Any' because I didn't really like Jonathan much, so no Jonathan-centric please. I'd *love* partner fic with this premise, just don't feel constrained by it!) It could even be from the perspective of some monsters. A cameo of the tentacle monster in HQ would be awesome - what's up with that? But as long as I get insidious relish and terrible dedicated cops with vengeance issues and no need to respect civil rights getting down with their bad selves, I'll be delighted. | |
| Vicky Ocean (VickyOcean) | Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen | Elinor Dashwood, Colonel Brandon | Every time I read or watch S&S, I just can't help but think that Elinor Dashwood and Colonel Brandon are so much better suited to each other than Marianne and Colonel Brandon and Elinor and Edward Ferrars. Ideally, I'd love an AU where Elinor and Brandon get together, but it would make me very happy for a bit of a sequel to S&S where they get together. | letter |
| Vicky Ocean (VickyOcean) | Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn | Talon Karrde (Thrawn) | Talon Karrde is probably my favorite Star Wars EU character and there's so little fic featuring him. I'd love just about anything with him being his awesome intelligent sardonic self. It can be set before, during, or after the Thrawn triology. I've always been curious about his earlier years and how he took over Car'das's group. But, you know, I'd be really happy just to see him and the crew of the Wild Karrde having an adventure or misadventure. | letter |
| Vicky Ocean (VickyOcean) | Red 2 (2013) | Victoria Winslow (Red 2), Ivan Simanov (Red 2) | I can't tell you how much I loved Ivan and Victoria in the first Red movie. I was so disappointed that there wasn't much of Ivan in the second movie. Anything with the two of them would make me happy whether it's just quiet time or they're out being master spies or a combination of both. | letter |
| Vicky Ocean (VickyOcean) | Mad Men | Joan Holloway, Roger Sterling | Roger and Joan are my favorite characters, both separately and together. I always want more of them. I'd be content with fic that focused on one of them separately or them as a pairing. They have so much history that is rarely explored in the show. Even after all this time and all that's happened there still seems to be a spark between them. I'd love to see something of their past history or their possible future since their both free. | letter |
| victoria_p (musesfool) | Captain Marvel (Marvel) | Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), Jessica Drew (Captain Marvel) | I would really love a story dealing with the fallout of Carol's sacrifice and memory loss and how that impacts her relationships (with Jess, with Steve, with Monica, with anyone/everyone). If that seems like too much, Carol/Flying is my true Carol OTP, so doing something with that would also be great — if you want to bring in any of the ladies here (Monica, Wendy, Banshee Squadron, Helen Cobb, etc.) that's great. | letter |
| victoria_p (musesfool) | Doom (2005) | Samantha Grimm, John Grimm | Mostly what I want is John/Samantha bad wrong hetcest, but it could be gen if that squicks you. Tell me what happens after the movie! Are they on the run together? How does that work? | letter |
| victoria_p (musesfool) | The Heat (2013) | Shannon Mullins, Sarah Ashburn | Lady buddy cop gen fic! That is what I loved about the movie and what I want from this request. It doesn't need to be a casefile — it can just be them doing their jobs and dealing with everything that comes with that in their own inimitable way. Also their friendship/partnership, considering how different they are but how they have the same goals; how does their hybrid partnership work out on more routine cases? | letter |
| victoria_p (musesfool) | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Jennifer Mills | I'm really enjoying this show so far so anything with that same kind of knowingly wacky vibe would be great. I enjoy Abbie and Ichabod's partnership, and her guiding him in the ways of the 21st century while he guides her in the ways of the supernatural, and I also ship it, so any kind of more than friends text or subtext would be fine by me. I also am interested in Jenny and Abbie's relationship as sisters, so something examining that would also be of great interest to me. | letter |
| victoria_p (musesfool) | Ultimate Comics Spider-Man | Clone Gwen Stacy (Ultimateverse), Miles Morales (Ultimates), May Parker (Ultimates), Mary Jane Watson (Ultimates) | Please don't feel constrained to fit everybody in if your story doesn't need them, but I do love Miles getting to know Aunt May and Gwen and MJ (and feel free to include Ganke, even though I wasn't able to request him) and would like to see more of his interaction with them. | letter |
| victoria_p (musesfool) | Young Allies (Marvel) | Rikki Barnes (Young Allies), Anya Sofia Corazon (Young Allies) | Crimefighting girlfriends ahoy! Please ignore any canon that suggests Rikki is dead, and please let her and Anya be heroing it up together either as slightly awkward besties with a ton of UST or actualfax girlfriends who fight crime! Feel free to include Natasha or Steve or Peter or Bucky, Jess, or Carol if you feel they need mentoring! | letter |
| villainessy | Elementary (TV) | Joan Watson (Elementary), Marcus Bell, Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV) | herlock or Detective Bell (or both of them! why not!) are kidnapped and it's up to Joan and Ms Hudson (possibly with help of other characters) to save them. I'll be honestly happy with any story centered around these characters, so don't feel obligated to abide to this prompt. Preferred rating: up to T (I don't mind smut, but I don't want it to be the focus of the story.) | letter |
| villainessy | Veep | Sue Wilson, Amy Brookheimer, Selina Meyer, Gary Walsh | En route to the ballot-box during next election, Selina gets stuck in an elevator with her bag-man. Chaos ensures. Amy and Sue are left to deal with it. (Feel free to twist the prompt or abandon it, but I would really like if there were hints of Selina/Gary in the story and no Selina/Andrew. Any femslash combination is very welcomed too:).) | letter |

| villainessy | Orphan Black (TV) | Helena (Orphan Black), Sarah Manning, Kira Manning | Helena's one of my favorite characters and I'm still really upset about her ending, so I would like to request a fix_it!fic. Helena's backstory or anything about her relationship with Sarah and Kira would be nice too. | letter |
| villainous | The Fox - Ylvis (Music Video) | The Mouse (The Fox), The Cat (The Fox), Vegard Ylvisåker (The Fox), Bård Ylvisåker (The Fox) | What is going on at this party? Did they all get together to figure out what the fox says? Or did it just come up in conversation while they were talking about the other animal noises? Are any of the guests seeing each other? Is it just a random assortment of people? I included four nominated characters, but if you'd prefer to just focus on one or two, or if you want to include all the characters in the video, that's okay! Whatever you can come up with for this is something I'll love. Go serious, go silly, go porny, go cracky, it's all fine by me! |
letter |
| villainous | Cursed (2005) | Jimmy (Cursed), Bo (Cursed) | I would love to see some post-movie fic about how these two deal with what happened. If they deal with it by boning, all the better! Feel free to stick to canon or go a little AU with this - what if Jimmy still has some werewolf traits? Or what if he's still a werewolf? What if he and Bo become werewolf hunters? What if now that they know about werewolves, they discover more supernatural beings? I didn't include Ellie in my characters, but I certainly wouldn't mind if you wanted to include her in any fic you write! |
letter |
| villainous | Push (2009) | Cassie Holmes, Nick Gant | I love the worldbuilding in this movie, and I adore the relationship between Nick and Cassie. I see it as more of a brother/sister kind of relationship, but if you ship them and would prefer to write them as a romantic pairing, go ahead! I'd prefer that Cassie is over eighteen if they're together, though. Pretty much any kind of fic set in this universe is going to make me happy. I love adventures/misadventures, but I also love character-driven fics or introspection. If you feel like throwing any other characters from the movie in, I wouldn't object, but I wasn't a big fan of Kira so I would prefer that she not be featured too heavily. |
letter |
| villainous | This Is the End (2013) | Jay Baruchel (This Is the End), Craig Robinson (This Is the End) | This was not a movie I went into expecting to want fic. But then this happened: Jay: We could build a life here together, Craig. I'd be really good to you. And suddenly I shipped it and wanted all the fic about them trying to make it on their own in that house they were ransacking. Or maybe they set out to find a different place to live? I'd love it if they didn't just abandon their friends, though. Maybe they could have parted amicably? Or maybe they just stayed friendly neighbors in the midst of an apocalypse. Also, I didn't add in any other characters, but if you want to include anyone else, feel free! If shipping them isn't your thing, I'd love just some buddy-type fic where they're trying to survive, or maybe just a glimpse at a conversation they may have had in a deleted scene in the movie, or them hanging out in Heaven, anything goes! |
letter |
| Vintar | Baman Piderman (Web Series) | Pumkin (Baman Piderman), Squib (Baman Piderman) | THE CUTEST SHIP IN THE WORLD. This is the pairing equivalent of rainbow sprinkles on kitten-shaped cupcakes. I don't even know how this would work in fic form considering that one of them communicates in hisses and the other is a pumpkin, but I'd love to see it anyway! Maybe something where they go on a date, or work on a project together? The rest of the crew are welcome to come along too. | letter |
| Vintar | A Shrine to Saint Ann - J. August | Rob (A Shrine to Saint Ann), Béata kel Kakiaretë | Oh man, this book! What excellent magic, what excellent characters. I LOVED Beata's practicality and curiosity, and Rob's somewhat terse thoughts about being dead. I ended up shipping it hardcore, especially near the end of the book. I'd love to see anything with them interacting— a missing scene? Beata storytelling about her travels? Something set after the events of the story, perhaps where Beata takes Rob on a journey and they have an excellent roadtrip adventure? Anything! | letter |
| Vintar | S.T.A.L.K.E.R. | trelok was the only character nominated this year, but I'd be thrilled to read about anyone in the series, or OCs, or just straight-up worldbuilding! Shadow of Chernobyl is my favourite game out of the three, if that makes a difference. My favourite thing about the series is the atmosphere— that lonely, lovely sense of space, where people can go from plucking guitars and eating beans to fighting for their lives against terrible monsters in a moment. A fic about life in the Zone would be great. Anything from faction politics to loner survival to Zone exploration, I'll love it. Also, I'm happy to get bleak fic for this request. The Zone is a mean place, and the amount of times I've stared at that Game Over screen while my character's body ragdolls in an anomaly, I swear to god. My only Do Not want for this request is anything that's really anti-Freedom, because they're my crew. My odd, optimistic, 420-blaze-it crew. |

| Vintar | It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia | Charlie Kelly | Charlie is my tiny gross favourite, and I'd adore something about him and his weird, alarming life. Maybe having an adventure, or coming up with some sort of plan? Something cute/dysfunctional with the Waitress? A total fandom-ish AU (It's Always Sunny in Space! In the Zombie Apocalypse! In a Noir Film!)? If you want to involve any other characters, go for it! I'm particularly fond of Mac and Charlie's friendship, but I love them all. | letter |
| Vintar | Super Dangan Ronpa 2 | Sonia Nevermind, Tanaka Gundam (Super Dangan Ronpa 2) | As soon as Sonia complimented his hamsters and he blushed into his scarf I was sunk, oh no. I love Gundam's bombastic BS, and Sonia's kindness and oddball enthusiasm. Anything for this pairing will absolutely delight me! Something with them bonding during the game would be really cute, or if you're all caught up with the endgame spoilers, something darker or hurt/comforty (or both!) about the endgame revelations would make my day. | letter |
| Vintar | Deadly Premonition | Red Seeds Profile | Francis Zach Morgan, Francis York Morgan (Deadly Premonition) | I got hella weepy at the end of the game, and friend, I will straight-up tell you that anything about Zach set after the events of the game will make me cry hideously. This is not a bad thing, it's just a thing. Be forewarned. Zach with the space in his head where York used to be. Zach with his sliced-up face. Zach who has different taste in punk bands. Zach who was there all along. Oh man! If you write a story about Zach visiting Greenvale years after the game to reminisce, you will have to paddle a dinghy out into AO3 to retrieve my comment, as I will have flooded the servers with my tears. If you rather that I didn't weep all over you (understandable), I'd be thrilled to read something about York and Zach and their adventures in the bureau. York and his blithe bizarreness was the highlight of the game for me, so anything involving his unreal train of thought would be excellent. Solving a case? Discussing movies and music in the lunchroom? Getting raised eyebrows from co-workers? |

| ViolentFlowers | Scott Pilgrim (Comics) | Kim Pine, Knives Chau, Envy Adams | Femslash I would love Kim and Julie Powers personally(even though she's not listed as an option), but Kim/Knives and Kim/Envy and Knives/Envy sound awesome too. I like first time fics or awkward hot make outs that surprise even the characters or banter filled committed relationship. I'm totally down with porn. I could see Kim ending up having to deal with Julie after Stephen and her split up, not that Kim wants to help Julie, possibly Kim can't get rid of her. Or I think it'd be interesting to explore what Envy does after Scott defeats Todd. Please no rape or character death. |
|
| ViolentFlowers | Gravity Falls | Mabel Pines, Wendy Corduroy | Femslash Please age Mabel up a little. Doesn't need to be explicit. Awkward experimentation, sudden realization, or just straight up base attraction. I have a lot of feels for these two characters. I keep thinking what if Mabel and Dipper return to Gravity Falls older. How would the people there have changed? Please no rape or character death. |
|
| ViolentFlowers | Daria (Cartoon) | Jane Lane, Daria Morgendorffer, Quinn Morgendorffer | Femslash Jane/Daria or Jane/Quinn Deadpan delivery. Porn would be awesome. I really liked the friendships on this show with Daria and Jane but I think Quin and Jane would be amazing on the level of total snark. Please no rape, incest, or character death. |
|
| ViolentFlowers | Wreck-It Ralph (2012) | Vanellope von Schweetz, Taffyta Muttonfudge | Femslash Please age them up. Doesn't need to be explicit. I like sassy pairings. I don't mind the Wreck it Ralph setting but the thought of a real world Race Car!AU would be cool. Or a celebrity!AU where Vanellope is the princess of a Disney channel show and Taffyta is a world famous race car driver. Please no rape or character death. |
|
| violeteyes | Blue Monday - Chynna Clugston | Bleu Finnegan, Clover Connelly, Alan Walsh, Victor Gomez | The strength of this series is that, even while teenage shenanigans propel our heroines and heroes into strange territories, they do try to make the best of it, even if it results in plot and counterplot. Let's keep it light. | |
| violeteyes | Top Ten (Comic) | Joe Pi, Irma Geddon, Wanda "Synaesthesia" Jackson, Kemlo Caesar | They fight crime. That's it, that's all, that's all there is. |
|
| violeteyes | Ready Player One - Ernest Cline | Parzival | Wade Owen Watts, Ogden Morrow, Art3mis | Samantha Cook, Aech | Helen Harris | The OASIS is a big place, with room for plenty of unexplored realms and adventures to be had. Even if the requested characters aren't the mains (there are a lot of gunters and other savvy players out there), I'm on board with digging deeper into what's out there. Set it before, during or after the book, I don't particularly mind. Give it a go. | |
| violeteyes | Questionable Content | Yeah, the running theme is to find a thing and to have fun with it, and that carries over here. There's a big cast to play around with, I don't want to limit your creativity by suggesting you focus on just four or what have you. | ||
| violeteyes | Phonogram | Here, however, I do love the core cast, and want to get stuck in with them a bit more. It is a fairly large cast, though, and only four characters ended up getting nominated, so consider this carte blanche to wander where you like with them. | ||
| violeteyes | Love and Rockets (Comics) | Hopey Glass, Maggie Chascarillo | Hopey and Maggie stories inevitably make me smile. Unfortunately, I've not read beyond book six of the (supposedly) never-going-out-of-print editions Fantagraphics put together in the 90s, so if there's grand plot revelations to be had beyond there (the period where Maggie agrees to move in with Vicki Glori and Hopey is going through a volume of Izzy's diary that got stuck in with their stuff) I'd appreciate not getting spoiled. If that's too much of a problem, these things happen. | |
| Violsva | Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms - Mercedes Lackey | What I'm interested in for this is not the characters but the setting and worldbuilding. I want to know more about stories and the Tradition and especially what Traditional paths exist for queer people and what happens to people who fall into/fight them. The link is to my Yuletide letter from last year, most of which still applies. |
letter | |
| Violsva | The Lady's Not For Burning - Christopher Fry | Absolutely anything, about anyone. The style of the play would be wonderful, and the same sort of pessimistically hopeful mood. The link is to my Yuletide letter from last year, most of which still applies. |
letter | |
| Violsva | Disney's Paperman (Video Short) | I want to know about the papers! Why are office forms capable of this, and what's going on in the office that allows it? Or the girl - what was she thinking about him, and would she have tried to find him? What was her day like? The link is to my Yuletide letter from last year, most of which still applies. |
letter | |
| Violsva | The Great Mouse Detective (1986) | Basil of Baker Street, David Dawson | Mice! Solving crimes! I am all for slash, but don't think you have to put it in. I'm here for the mysteries. More sketchy ideas: Basil picking up ideas from one of the cases in the Holmes canon would be neat. I like the hidden world aspect, the ways they make use of human infrastructure while avoiding notice, and emphasis on that would be great. The link is to my Yuletide letter from last year, most of which still applies. |
letter |
| Violsva | Miss Marple - Agatha Christie | Jane Marple | I like mysteries, either major or domestic, and I like Miss Marple's take on the world. I also like how much respect she gets from Sir Henry and how he clearly thinks she's amazing, but he's not a requirement. I like twist endings and tiny clues and Miss Marple being all knowing at people. The link is to my Yuletide letter from last year, most of which still applies. |
letter |
| virginie | Nathan Barley (TV) | Dan Ashcroft, Jones (Nathan Barley) | I love this fandom and world. Would love a Dan/Jones story that had some grittiness to it, but if that's not your thing I would love to read the story you want to write. | |
| virginie | IT Crowd | Jen Barber, Maurice Moss, Roy Trenneman, Douglas Reynholm | I love all the characters (Denholm and Richmond too). I am fond of Moss/Roy but really also love the humour and the feel of this show (with or without pairings). Please write the story you want to, and I'll appreciate it. | |
| virginie | Maurice - E. M. Forster | Maurice Hall, Alec Scudder, Clive Durham | I am really fond of all the pairings in this world, the past Clive/Maurice, the Maurice/Alec, and the realistic and complicated Clive/Anne. Again, I would appreciate most a story you are into writing. | |
| virginie | Veep | Dan Egan, Jonah Ryan, Selina Meyer, Amy Brookheimer | I'd love a story set in this world. I would particularly love a Dan/Jonah story - essentially because of that great episode in the first series when Dan pretended to be Jonah's friend and they go to see some thrash metal. But I love all the characters in the series (not just those listed) and would be keen to read a story with any other pairings or no pairings. Please write what you want to write. | |
| vissy | The Faraway Tree - Enid Blyton | Saucepan Man (Faraway Tree), Mister Watzisname, Silky (Faraway Tree), Moon-Face | This was probably my favourite Blyton series and I still read it happily today, even if every tree I climb proves a disappointment. I can't help but wonder about how events seem to the ostensibly grown up inhabitants of the Tree, and what their lives are like when the children aren't about. My head canon tells me that Mister Watzisname and Saucepan Man (played by Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart) are in a joyful but sometimes torrid LTR, and that Silky and Moon-Face are the naughtiest of friends with benefits. I love to imagine them all going about their usual domestic activities like baking and sewing or visiting various Lands above or choofing around on the train, all the while leading lives of an emotional scope imperceptible to Jo, Bessie and Fanny until they themselves are much older. | letter |
| vissy | Flight of the Navigator (1986) | Jeff Freeman, David Freeman | This is a childhood favourite that still gives me joy. (Seriously, I'm humming the synthesised 80s theme music even as I type.) David's adventure with Max is an escapist dream. But it's always been the time skip that really blows my brain. The moment when David sits down on the stairs and cries for his mom and dad slays me. I want to know more about what his family went through while he was gone, how Jeff coped. What went through their minds when David was returned unchanged? How did it feel to have the brother relationship reversed? I also wonder how things would have gone had Max not returned David to 1978. Would the family be held in confinement, with ever more invasive experimentation on David, or would they go on the lam? Would the relationship between David and Jeff become an over-protective, claustrophobic snarl of mixed-up feels? I LIKE TO THINK SO. | letter |
| vissy | Near Dark (1987) | Homer (Near Dark), Sarah Colton | Homer's my favourite. He's a freak and he knows it, and the less sympathy we're supposed to have for him, the more I feel. He's a murderous, bratty little shit, but his disturbingly wrong yet weirdly charming courtship of Sarah hits my woobie buttons like whoa; the more he takes it to Pepé Le Pew levels, the bigger my hearteyes grow. The contrast between them is so intriguing: he thinks he's a grown-up trapped in a child's body, while she's a kid with a maturity far beyond her years. That last despairing "Sarah!" as Homer's burning up on the road is a kick to the stomach, and even though I'm rooting for Sarah I can't help but wonder what if. What if Sarah didn't get away from the clan? Or what if Homer did? Pre-pubescence be damned, I ship it. | letter |
| vissy | Gravity (2013) | Ryan Stone | '(K)ind of a huge destruction porn movie' (yay!) according to io9, but Gravity also has an intimate simplicity that's just as appealing to me. I could feel Ryan's nausea, frustration, terror, sadness and exaltation like it was my own. She's not fearless or infallible, but just so capable and gutsy in such a mad situation. I'd love to know what happens in the aftermath, once she's on her own two feet again. Does she meet Shariff's family? Does she ever speak with Aningaaq again? And while Cuarón apparently resisted the suggestion to cut to Houston in the blind (a choice I totally agree with), that doesn't stop me wondering about the earthside POV, especially since they tease us with Ed Harris as Capcom. | letter |
| vissy | Tintin (Comics) | Tintin (Tintin), Tchang Tchong-Jen | Chang Chong-Chen | Tintin in Tibet is id-central for me. Plane crash! Abominable snowman! Hurt/comfort magical soulbond! I mean, everyone loves Tintin, but only Chang has the actual trufax, mountain-moving soulbond with him. The generally unruffled Tintin displays a depth of feeling in this book previously unheard of; I honestly don't remember him ever crying over anyone except Chang. And what's it like for Chang, trapped in the frozen desolation with an overprotective yeti and little hope of rescue? Does he remember the good times with Tintin? What's it like for them both once they're safe? ARE THERE TENDER EMBRACES? And seriously, what about the poor, heartbroken snowman? I would read the hell out of the yeti's POV. |
letter |
| vissy | 美しき獣たち。| Utsukushiki Kemonotachi | Toudou Kazuki, Saijou Chiharu | I adore Fujisaki Kou's Beast series, and I sob bitter tears because Countless Time didn't finish Utsukushiki Kemonotachi or Toriko ni Natta... Kemono and none of the other groups seem keen to pick up more recent instalments. SO BITTER. My beginner Japanese is not up to nutting out the unscanlated work, so don't fret if you're in the same boat. And if you do know what's going on, feel free to spoil me. All the Beast pair-ups please me immensely, but it's Chiharu and Kazuki who get me truly starry-eyed. The stone-faced lug in his teensy weensy undies, getting manfully frantic over his bratty young charge, hits my id hard. Chiharu's scarily possessive, single-minded devotion to Kazuki is the epitome of delicious yaoi wrongness to me. Whether you write about office shenanigans or Kazuki's boyhood or Yuuhi & Shouta or Kaoru's machinations or underwear shopping, I will be happy. | letter |
| vlieger | Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) | Gretel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters), Hansel (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) | i'm all about the sibling dynamic here! see dya letter for more! | letter |
| vlieger | The Runaways (2010) RPF | Kristen Stewart (The Runaways RPF), Dakota Fanning (The Runaways RPF) | i love kristen and her dorky awkwardness, and i'm fascinated by dakota and how she juggles her career and education and being this sweet girl with also going hard for what she wants. i'd love to read about how these things cropped up in their relationship, with bonus sexytimes, obvsly. | letter |
| vlieger | Mulan (1998) | Li Shang, Fa Mulan (Mulan), Mushu | basically i want an adorkable shang/mulan story with lots of bonus mushu and grandmother! | letter |
| vlieger | Warrior (2011) | Frank Campana, Brendan Conlon, Tommy Conlon | either a story (preferably post-movie) about brendan and tommy's relationship, OR something centered on frank, with lots of backstory + his friendship (relationship if you want to go there) with brendan. | letter |
| voksen | Musical Theater RPF | Earl Carpenter | Earl Carpenter is adorable and I love his deadpan humor and slightly shy seriousness. Anything that touches on that will be brilliant; I ship (and friendship) him with basically the entire West End and half of Toronto, particularly with Ramin Karimloo and John Owen-Jones, so please feel free to bring in anyone else you like! But I'd equally love gen with him alone, anything from realistic theater related stuff to the story behind his weird bikes to settingswap AUs like Earl Carpenter In Space or what have you. | letter |
| voksen | Jurassic Park (Movies) | Robert Muldoon, Clever Girl - Character | I really love the relationship between these two -- it's just so intense, and I'd love to see anything more of it, whether something set in early canon dealing with them learning to hate and respect each other, or a fix-it post canon au where neither of them die (and maybe have to work together to survive the island or deal with the t-rex or get off the island?) I'm really into interspecies communication and the enemies to friends to lovers trope, so needless to say I do ship it! But if you're not into xeno, I'm totally okay with gen, though I prefer a humanly-intelligent Clever Girl there, too. |
letter |
| voksen | Arm Joe | Robojean, Cosette (Arm Joe) | The possibilities of Arm Joe's world are amazing and I'd love to know anything more about it - how did the characters of Les Mis end up in a streetfighting tournament? How did they develop their special moves, and is that a normal thing in their world? I'd also love to know more about Cosette and Valjean's relationship and how they deal with their world, what Robojean's story is, or how Robojean and Cosette might interact or feel about each other. (is there a Robosette? if not, does he wish there was? did Valjean build Robojean, or?) |
letter |
| voksen | Les Misérables (radio play 1937) | Père Fauchelevent (radio play), Jean Valjean (radio play), Cosette Fauchelevent (radio play) | I love all of the subsets of relationships here - Valjean/Fauchelevent (or Valjean & Fauchelevent) and the way they knowingly save each others' lives and unknowingly give each other a chance to emotionally and spiritually grow to be more capable of love and peace in the safe space of the convent, Valjean and Cosette and the father/daughter bond that in this version carries more honesty and openness than in any other, Fauchelevent and Cosette and the way he likes her for Madeleine's sake in a way that's almost never gone into. Anything that explores the relationships between this little accidental family would be great, whether you ship valjean/fauchelevent or not. I'd also love to see any kind of adventure either inside the convent with the nuns (particularly the reverend mother) or, given that Welles never killed fauchelevent (yay) outside the convent in Rue Plumet. |
letter |
| voleuse | Scandal (TV) | Olivia Pope, Cyrus Beene, Mellie Grant | I am disinterested in love triangles/complications as a focus, but I would *really* love some not-completely-hostile and not-conspiracy-related work interactions, whether in the past or the present day. (More details will be posted on my DW/LJ soon.) |
letter |
| voleuse | Fast and the Furious Series | Han Lue, Mia Toretto, Gisele Harabo, Letty Ortiz | I love this series so, so much, and I love Han most of all. That said, I'd like something that shows interactions between any/all of these characters, and how they function as friends and collaborators when Dom isn't around. (More details will be posted on my DW/LJ soon.) |
letter |
| voleuse | Newsflesh Trilogy - Mira Grant | Buffy Meissonier, Magdalene Grace Garcia, Mahir Gowda, Shaun Mason | The ins and outs of online journalism, or workplace romance after the end of the world. (More details will be posted on my DW/LJ soon.) |
letter |
| voleuse | Arrested Development | Maeby Funke, Lindsay Bluth Funke, Ann Veal, Lucille Bluth | I enjoyed the fourth season, but I was most interested in the stories about these individual women, and how they intersected. (Maeby's episode was my favorite, but I thought Lucille had the most poignant moments.) What do they want? Do they ever get it? (More details will be posted on my DW/LJ soon.) |
letter |
| volta_arovet | 大神伝～小さき太陽～ | Ōkamiden (Video Games) | Kurow (Ōkamiden) | I'm really interested in Kurow's creation and backstory--how did Waka make him, what was his early life with Waka (and possibly Ammy?) like before Waka put the block on his memories and sent him to Nippon as a sacrifice, what were his early adventures before he teamed up with Chibiterasu. I thought his interactions with Chibiterasu were adorable, too, so if you'd like to team them up again, that would also be a lot of fun. | |
| volta_arovet | Nimona (Webcomic) | Ballister Blackheart, Nimona (Nimona) | I love the relationship between Blackheart and Nimona! They are just so adorable and I would love something cute and fluffy like a movie night or Ballister teaching Nimona some Science or them practicing their joint fighting moves (they had to have practiced him jumping on top of her as a triceratops, right?). A little darkness or unease is fine, but these two warm my heart, so nothing too depressing, please. | |
| volta_arovet | Uta no Prince-sama | Shinomiya Natsuki, Shinomiya Satsuki, Kurusu Shou | henanigans! Poor put-upon Shou and adorable Natsuki flipping the heck out into Satsuki! This was one dynamic I loved in the show and I really wanted more of the Natsuki/Satsuki flip, so anything involving that would be wonderful. I love Shou, but please, make his life pain. I'd appreciate it if you keep things relatively light-hearted and silly like the show (I understand the game is a big more serious). I enjoy Shou/Natsuki as a couple, but if you want to go platonic with them, that is also perfectly fine with me. (Shining Saotome is awesome and can come too) | |
| volta_arovet | Subarashiki Kono Sekai | The World Ends With You | Kiryu "Joshua" Yoshiya, Bito "Rhyme" Raimu | I requested Joshua and Rhyme, which is an unusual pair, but I'd really be interested in seeing how they interact. We don't know much about Rhyme--what was her price, and what's her life like now that she's lost it (or has Joshua given it back?), what kind of person will she grow up into? I like Rhyme's no-nonsense attitude, and think she would do well head-to-head with Joshua if it came down to it. I also like how cagey and flighty Joshua is, especially whenever Emotions and Friendships make things complicated. I don't necessarily see these two as a romantic pair, but that's also an option, if it interests you. | |

| vtn | Lizzie Borden Diaries (concept) | Lizzie Borden (Lizzie Borden Diaries) | o someone on Metafilter misread "Lizzie Bennet Diaries” as "Lizzie Borden Diaries”, and then this comment happened. It made me realize that Austen pastiche with axe murdering was something that was missing from my life. So really, anywhere you want to go with that would be wonderful, just expanding upon the idea presented there. And yes, I know the real Lizzie Borden was found innocent and there was a lot of weirdness and sexism surrounding her life story, but I'd rather focus on the folkloric version of the story, and you can go as gothic (or as goth) with that as you like. Although social commentary was Austen's forte, so that wouldn't go amiss either. | letter |
| vtn | Chihayafuru | Wakamiya Shinobu | Basically: I love Shinobu Wakamiya. I love that she's intimidating and a little creepy, I love her arrogance and her lack of fashion sense. I love that she goes crazy over anything cute. I love that she's so incredibly skilled at karuta. I love that she loves the cards and they love her. I love that she's lonely and needs a friend but believes she's better off alone. So anything focused on Shinobu would be really, really lovely, whether it's more backstory about her and her family, backstory about her path to becoming queen, or a story about her future as she enters her teenage years and eventually adulthood. I'd also be interested in seeing her become friends with Chihaya or Arata and having to deal with her complicated feelings about getting close to people. I ship her mainly with Chihaya, Arata, or Hisashi (Suo), but any other character you'd like to pair her with would also be great. Sell me on your favorite Shinobu pairing! I want all the porn. (Yes, you can age the characters up if you like.) |
letter |
| vtn | Clockwork Angels (Album) | Narrator (Clockwork Angels) | The futuristic steampunk imagery from this album is so amazing, and I'd love to see how someone might spin a story around it. I want to hear about the protagonist of the album and their journey into the city, to finding self-reliance and freedom, and what the clockwork angels actually are and what their role is. Who is the Anarchist - hero or villain or antihero? What does the city look like and who are the people that dwell there? Is the Watchmaker a real entity or just a figurehead? Are the Seven Cities of Gold real or just a legend? I would prefer if you didn't bring in canon from the novelization. I haven't read it yet--though I'm planning to--and I want to read your own interpretation of the lyrics instead. You don't even need to include the narrative bits printed with the lyrics, but you can if you like! Also, the narrator is referred to as a "young man” in the lyrics but if you want to make them a different gender, feel free. |
letter |
| vtn | Mukuro Naru Hoshi Tama Taru Ko | Shadow Star | Tamai Shiina, Sakura Akira | I really love Shiina and Akira's friendship in the early chapters of Narutaru. Akira's little crush on Shiina is really sweet, and I think a friends-to-lovers thing with them would be great. But if you don't want to write ship fic, I'd also be interested in some more backstory for Akira and how she met Ensof, what Shiina is like through her eyes, etc. Or the AU option: what if Shiina and Akira had picked different sides? Or...what if the two of them met in a world without shadow dragons? How would things be the same or different? How would their friendship play out in a different kind of world? This is the one fandom where I'd be interested in receiving a crossover/fusion AU. I'd love to see Shiina and Akira as Chosen Children in Digimon, as Pokémon trainers, as a pair of Jaeger pilots in Pacific Rim, or as magical girls contracted with Kyuubey in Puella Magi Madoka Magica - or whatever other AU or fusion captures your heart! |
letter |
| vtn | Rush (Band) | Rush have so much history as a band and as friends. They've created so many amazing things and been through all of life's ups and downs together. Something set in the early days of Rush could be really fun, whether you want to write about Geddy and Alex being childhood friends or Neil joining the band and making it into something bigger than it had ever been before, or life on tour, or the creative process behind any of the albums or songs. In terms of slash: I ship all of them, everything, any pairing including the three of them as an OT3. I'd probably prefer a 'no wives/girlfriends AU' type situation for this one, as I feel the guys have always been pretty private about their families, and furthermore I'm not really interested in reading an infidelity/jealousy plotline or a story where their existing relationships get broken up. I'd prefer something happy and fun -- or at least with a happy ending -- because that's the way the band makes me feel. One other thing that I would really enjoy for this fandom is putting the members of Rush into the universe of one of their songs. Such as, what if they were the ones who discovered music in the world of 2112? Or what if they traveled aboard the Rocinante through the black hole Cygnus X-1 and into the land beyond? Who would initially take the side of Apollo and who would take the side of Dionysus, and how would they work together to resolve the conflict? |

| vulpesvortex | Haven | Nathan Wuornos, Audrey Parker, Duke Crocker | I OT3-ship these three like burning, so any OT3 relationship or friendship fic would be awesome! Porn, fluff, schmoop, casefic, it's all good. | letter |
| vulpesvortex | Havemercy Series - Jaida Jones & Danielle Bennett | Laure (Havemercy), Adamo (Havemercy), Kalim (Havemercy), Malahide (Havemercy) | I love all the Havemercy characters to bits, but I especially ship Laure/Adamo and Kalim/Malahide. There's next to no fic for either ship so any fic of any rating is sure to make my day! I really love first time/beginning of a relationship fic, and I'd really love an Adamo/Laure fic that mapped the beginning of their relationship (or the continuance of their friendship) post-Steelhands (maybe with some ribbing from Roy, haha). For Kalim/Malahide, I'm really interested in what consequences the developments in Steelhands might have for Malahide re: Volstov and the Esar. I'm also really interesting in how Malahide relates to her body/gender identity, so any exploration of that (with or without Kalim) would make me a happy panda. But again, any fic for these characters is very much appreciated. | letter |
| vulpesvortex | Terminator (Movies) | Kyle Reese (Terminator (Movies)), Marcus Wright | Terminator Salvation, Kyle/Marcus. These two break my heart. I've always got this image in my head of Kyle keeping Marcus' coat after Marcus dies and Marcus coming back from the dead and finding him wearing that coat and realizing how much Kyle cares for him. Basically reunion fic and clothes-swapping totally float my boat. Sprinkle on some happy holy-fuck-you're-alive porn with Kyle stilI in the coat would probably be my perfect fic. (Marcus lifting Kyle etc. also ticks my boxes). Also really love Hollycomb's fic The Events At Elgin Avenue? I would just really love some shippy fic for them of any kind. |
letter |
| vulpesvortex | Push (2009) | Nick Gant, Cassie Holmes | Nick/Cassie. Preferably post-movie fic of them on the run, depending on each other, Nick torturing himself over his developing feelings... Or something about Cassie growing up on the run, hopping around the world with Nick, becoming competent and a bit ruthless, learning to make hard choices, maybe something introspective, maybe something about exploring her sexuality (I'd love to see bisexual!cassie)? |
letter |
| vulpesvortex | Endeavour (TV) | Jim Strange, Max DeBryn, Endeavour Morse | trange and DeBryn are my favourite characters after Morse, so I'd really like some fic about them, character study or whatever. Something from their POV. As for shippy fic I'd love some Strange/Morse, requited or unrequited, I'm not picky! |
letter |
| vulpesvortex | Rebel Without a Cause (1955) | Jim Stark, John "Plato" Crawford, Judy (Rebel Without A Cause) | OT3, relationship or friendship. I love the part of the movie when they're all in the mansion together, feeling at home somewhere for the first time, etc. Character studies also very welcome. Background fic, childhood, etc. | letter |
| Vyola | Now You See Me (2013) | Henley Reeves, Jack Wilder, Dylan Rhodes, Merritt McKinney | Really, what can I say except MAGICAL JUSTICE! Tell me about the Four Horsemen coming together as a team, with Dylan pulling the strings behind the scenes. Or how they learned their craft, putting on small shows or pulling petty cons while he surveilled them and he put his plans in motion. What do they do after they join the Eye? Their faces are all over the news and Dylan has a whole life as "Dylan Hunt, FBI" — now what? Is there a next big target? Is there a hierarchy behind the Eye sending them out on missions? This is definitely a fandom in which I'd accept real magic or concrete explanations or a mixture of both. MAGICAL JUSTICE! |

| Vyola | Face Off (TV) RPF | Ve Neill (Face Off), Neville Page (Face Off), McKenzie Westmore (Face Off), Glenn Hetrick (Face Off) | A few weeks ago, when Glenn said something like, "That was uninspired and inadequate," I got hit by the thought -- hey, what if they were critiquing porn? And then I suddenly realized the huge opportunities for crack and/or meta that the format and the personalities offered. Hopefully you'll look at it and go, "Ooooo! I could do ________________ with that!" A fictional season, a team battling actual monsters or aliens (and getting graded on it), the judges dropping into other universes and critiquing the creatures — go for it. :D Also, I have an inexplicable crush on Glenn. There's something about his steampunk dandy werewolf aesthetic that gets me. (Until I realize that he's the real-life version of Barf from Spaceballs. Then I faceplam. Oh, dear.) |

| Vyola | S.W.A.T. (2003) | Chris Sanchez, Jim Street | I really like teamwork and families of choice. There's a lot to work with here, from the team dealing with T.J.'s betrayal to Street handling Gamble being not just an asshole but an actual criminal. There's Chris balancing work that she really loves with being a good mother and still feeling like a woman (I love the idea of her and Jim being bros or even friends with benefits, assuming he doesn't get back with Boxer's sister). I enjoyed how the movie showed the team's camaraderie as they trained and the balance between the tense and the ridiculous when they used the battering ram/grapple "Polish Penetrator" to take down the guy's whole house. Competent, snarky, bent-but-not-broken people having each other's backs in life-and-death situations are like catnip to me. Also, I am in no way a weapons or tactics expert so don't feel like I'm looking for nuts-and-bolts realistic facts. A thin veneer of "that sounds pretty plausible" is fine! |

| Vyola | Sears Appliances Commercials | Task Force: Chicago male cop, Task Force: Chicago female cop, Shannon (Sears Appliances), Eddie (Sears Appliances) | The perfect Five Minute Fandom! Task Force: Chicago [Youtube] | Connecting Flights [Youtube] Let's assume that the airport in Connecting Flights is O'Hare. That keeps things nice and tidy. Are shiny appliances randomly appearing in your way a new thing that the good people of Chicago are dealing with? Is it just the price you pay for living in the Windy City? Is the Task Force motto "Protect, Serve, and Watch Where You're Going"? Is one of our adorable bloggers actually couriering the stolen diamonds? Is one of them an undercover Task Force member? Both of them? Are they the artistic, carefree younger siblings of the hard-ass, tough talking cops? Who's the black sheep of the family? But most importantly -- how do you live when a refrigerator could be lurking anywhere, handing traumatic brain injuries out like candy at Halloween? |

| Vyola | Killers Kill; Dead Men Die - Annie Leibovitz | Aristocrat (Killers Kill), Heiress (Killers Kill), Skirt (Killers Kill), Maiden Aunt (Killers Kill) | Not so much a Five Minute Fandom as a Thirty Minute Fandom. :D Killers Kill; Dead Men Die - Annie Leibovitz [Vanity Fair photo shoot] Oh, so hard to narrow down who I'm interested in! (All of them, so feel free to pull in anyone you need for your story.) The Aristocrat | Tilda Lydeker (Helen Mirren) The Maiden Aunt | Alma Lydeker (Judi Dench) The Heiress | Laura Lydeker (Kirsten Dunst) The Skirt | Rebecca Lydeker (Naomi Watts) I've listed the actresses' names for convenience. :D I'd love to know what kinds of secrets the Lydeker women are hiding. We've got two generations of sisters so there's plenty of opportunity for history to repeat itself. There's the truth of Alma's birth, the many lovers of Tilda, Laura's (real or fake?) amnesia, Rebecca's amateur sleuthing... jealousies, rivalries, secrets, and lies. No one can love — or hate — you more than your sister. And what of the elusive Lydekers in the middle (Rebecca and Laura's parents, their father apparently being Tilda's brother and Alma's half-brother)? What secrets to they hide in those lemon groves? I love noir and it's all about style. Live fast, drink hard, keep a lady-like gun in your evening bag, and protect the family honor at all costs. Don't worry about the tissue-thin plot offered up in the captions on the photo shoot. Go wherever the spirit of Chandler and Hammett leads you (down these dark streets a (wo)man must go....) and don't be a sucker for a pretty face |

| v_greyson (greyson) | Goon (2011) | Xavier LaFlamme, Doug Glatt, Eva (Goon), Ross Rhea | Okay, Xavier LaFlamme/Doug Glatt/Eva OT3 for life. But also I feel like Doug Glatt and Ross Rhea had some awesome sexual tension. I love hockey and I love this movie, so basically anything will make me very happy. :D |
letter |
| v_greyson (greyson) | Iskryne Series - Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette | Psychic soulbonded wolves are my #1 favorite trope of all time. Anything as long as there are wolves and they are psychically soul bonded. | letter | |
| v_greyson (greyson) | The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett | Colin Craven, Dickon Sowerby, Mary Lennox | Dickon is one of my favorite characters ever. And, if you are sensing a theme, Dickon/Colin/Mary = original OT3 of my heart. | letter |
| v_greyson (greyson) | Wonderfalls | Jaye Tyler, Mahandra McGinty, Aaron Tyler | Jaye is so great. Also, Mahandra is a badass. Mahandra & Jaye friendship or Mahandra/Jaye makeouts would be amazing. And Mahandra/Aaron is super adorable. Or Aaron being a stunning yet somewhat awkward fail boat. | letter |
| v_greyson (greyson) | Teen Wolf (TV) RPF | Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf RPF), Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf RPF), Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf RPF) | Tylers! They are great brofriends. And no one is a Dylan fan like Hoechlin. Anything with friendship or slashiness or hanging out would be awesome. | letter |
| V_V_lala | Brideshead Revisited (2008) | Charles Ryder, Sebastian Flyte | I would really like to see an exploration of what would have happened if Charles had not let Sebastian walk away from him so easily (after seeing him kiss Julia). I suppose I am asking for a fix-it fic AU type fic but it doesn't have to be. For something that could be played more along the lines of gen, if you're more comfortable with that, I would love to see just interactions between these two — a missing scene from their summer at Brideshead, school days before things got bad, etc. Hurt/comfort is a favorite genre for me with this paring and cuteness is certainly an enthusiastic yes! | letter |
| V_V_lala | Imperium: Augustus (2003) | Gaius Octavius (Imperium: Augustus (2003)) | I would enjoy reading about the escapades of the young Octavius and his friends Agrippa and Maecenas. Their banter was very fun and I think it showed that behind all the jabs they were very closely tied to each other. I see all sorts of possibilities for various love triangles and couplings and of course this is like Rome and so such relationships would be...well obviously complicated (and maybe not at the same time). For a strictly gen prompt: Octavius's relationship with his sister? How did that work out after he basically sold her? I feel like they were very close as children and I would appreciate the rift between them that this betrayal caused, but then also seeing it mend. |
letter |
| V_V_lala | Dark Tower - Stephen King | Cuthbert Allgood, Roland Deschain | I would love a Bert/Roland slash fic. Hurt/comfort will earn bonus points. Maybe Roland's thoughts after Jericho Hill. I want him to actually go through the process of accepting the death of his best friend (boyfriend/lover?) not just sort of shrug it off as he seems to shrug off a lot of things during the books. Also, Cuthbert always strikes me as someone who uses his humor and his lighthearted attitude to cover up deep wells of uncertainty in himself and/or hurt from...something. I'll leave that up to you to explore. Not to say that he's faking, I'm sure that his jokes are genuine and he really does have a quirky personality but I also think there is more to him than that. Feel free to include Alain in large doses. I'm not a fan of threesomes but love triangles are great! I am not Susan's biggest fan, just in case, but I do understand that she played a large part in Roland's life/story. | letter |
| V_V_lala | Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) | The Huntsman (Snow White and the Huntsman), William (Snow White and the Huntsman) | I would especially love to see slash here. I am not very picky about what sort of plot you go with, whether it's a slow development of their relationship post-canon or just a sweet h/c focused snap-shot type piece. If you really can't see yourself writing slash, I wouldn't be opposed to a more gen-driven option with them becoming friends and forming a respect for one another despite their very different backgrounds. Banter would be fun with these two, a clash of personalities. I doubt there wouldn't be tension but winning each other over is only so much more interesting because of it. The only thing, even if you decide to write gen, is I don't want them to be using each other as a replacement for Snow White or bonding exclusively over her. | letter |

| wandersfound | Vintner's Luck - Elizabeth Knox | Xas (Vintner's Luck) | What did Xas do after 1863? What is he doing today? Who does he meet and do they remind him of people he once knew? What does he think about? What does he try not to think about? Does he still miss Heaven? Does he still miss Sobran Jodeau? On that note, I do love Xas/Sobran of course but gen/het/other slash is all fine. And feel free to include details/characters from The Angel's Cut as well if you've read that. | letter |
| wandersfound | Pop Music RPF | Shakira (Pop Music RPF) | hakira is my number one girl. I am slightly (read: very) obsessed with her and her voice and her music and her philanthropy and her dancing and her baby and her silliness and literally everything about her. I would read anything involving her—if you want to write about recording her new album or next season of The Voice or if you're into football and you want to include her BF or other WAGs or other popstars (of the ones nominated I also love Demi Lovato, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Victoria Beckham), or if you just want to write an ode to her beautiful hair. | letter |
| wandersfound | Galahad - Josh Ritter (Song) | Every year I nominate a different Josh Ritter-related canon, and this year it's "Galahad." I love the story, the way it plays off classic mythology in a rather cynical, humorous way, and what I'm really curious about is the time surrounding the song, particularly on the part of the Angel. What does he do while he's waiting for Galahad to arrive; what does he do when he leaves? Does he have some greater plan in mind, or is he only off to find Queen Guinevere and the stable boys? | letter | |
| wandersfound | Dark Tower - Stephen King | Roland Deschain, Cuthbert Allgood | I'm really interested in Roland's younger days, and in his companions, especially Cuthbert. Apart from that, go where you want — flashbacks during Roland's next attempt at the Tower, fic set back during that time, an AU set in France or on a boat or in the 1950s (there are other worlds than these, after all). Gen, slash (Roland/Cuthbert), and het are all great by me! | letter |
| warriorpoet | Bates Motel (2013) | Norman Bates, Norma Bates | I ship it in a so-wrong-it's-right way and if you do too, that's awesome. If not, it's totally understandable and I'd love to read something that explores the screwed-up sweetness and toxicity of their relationship that keeps them strictly as mother and son. | letter |
| warriorpoet | Breaking Bad | Skyler White, Marie Schrader | I would love some pre-series backstory on the Lambert sisters, or maybe something that goes in to what their lives were like circa Granite State. | letter |
| warriorpoet | Breaking Bad RPF | No characters listed here because I really would love anything you can come up with for any and all of the nominated character-people. Crack fic about Vince Gilligan being a complete evil genius and torturing his cast with each script? Things to do in Albuquerque when you've been working in Albuquerque for six years and have nothing left to do? The perils of characters bleeding into everyday life? Five times someone tricked Aaron Paul into thinking he was being killed off? Something about the ending of it all? | letter | |
| warriorpoet | The Larry Sanders Show | Paula (The Larry Sanders Show) | I love Paula and would love to read any fic about her, but I don't have any specific ideas in mind. So a couple of vague ideas: A day-in-the-life? Five things Paula learned from Artie? What happened to her after she left the show? The Paula/Stevie Grant relationship? Paula relents and goes on a date with Larry, if only for morbid curiosity? | letter |
| warriorpoet | New York City (Anthropomorfic) | The Chrystler Building (NYC), The Empire State Building (NYC) | I don't even know what fic for this would look like, just that I'd love to read it. Are these two buildings old rivals since the Empire State beat the Chrysler for the tallest building in the world way back when? Does the Empire State send the Chrysler secret messages through the lights on its spire? Are they both so sad and melancholy that everyone sees them as high points on the skyline, but they're always kept apart? A year in the life of the New York City skyline? | letter |
| warriorpoet | The Sopranos | Carmela Soprano, Meadow Soprano, Anthony "AJ" Soprano Jr | I would love to read a post-series fic about what happens with Carmela and the kids if you interpret the finale in a Tony died at Holsten's way. Either an ensemble, or focusing on any one of the three requested characters. The immediate aftermath in the diner, something further down the track, plotty or a contemplative character study. Whichever you prefer. | letter |
| Wasuremono | Dangan Ronpa | Yamada Hifumi | NOTE: No SDR2 / DR0 spoilers, please! I follow DR stuff through orenronen's translations on Something Awful, so while I've completed the DR LP, I haven't finished SRD2 or DR0 and don't expect the SDR2 LP to be finished by Yuletide. Please don't use spoilers from anything DR-related that isn't the original game! I find Hifumi Yamada to be an underappreciated character, and I'd really like to read a story that treats him in a sympathetic light. My view of him is that he was socially isolated, lonely, and particularly vulnerable to emotional manipulation, which Celes seized on to cause the events of Chapter 3; while tempers were running high throughout that chapter, I lean towards the belief that things wouldn't have erupted into murder without Celes's machinations, so I view Yamada as a figure more worthy of pity than of scorn. I'd like to see fic that either treats him as a tragic figure or doesn't focus on the events of Chapter 3 at all, whether that means an AU set during the canon timeline or something set pre-canon. Fic set during their pre-disaster year at Hope's Peak could be interesting, especially since the in-game evidence suggests that Yamada had healthy social relationships with his peers; it'd be nice to see that, and contrasting it with his absolute desperation for companionship post-mindwipe could be very moving. If you're freaking out right now because you offered "any" and don't want to write Yamada fic omigod, fear not! I'd enjoy fic featuring most of the DR cast; I'd rather not read Celes fic, and I'm probably least interested in Naegi and Kirigiri out of the remainder, but otherwise, go nuts. The thing I love about DR is how flavorful the characters are while still being realistic, and I'd love to read fic that digs into their lives and psyches in greater depth. (Just to pull from the first things that come to mind: how does Fukawa manage to hold it together in daily life without revealing the presence of Genocider Syo? Hagakure may be a flake, but being able to accurately predict the future 20% of the time is still pretty amazing; is that kind of power a burden to him, and what does he do with it besides making money? What does Togami actually want to do with his life besides move corpses and be a jerk?) Probably the only things I'm not interested in reading are excessively generic slice-of-life and PWP/shipping-without-plot; the cast of DR is delightfully weird and complex, and I'd like to see that come through in your fic. |

| Wasuremono | Watership Down - Richard Adams | I'd prefer gen only in this fandom, please, or relatively chaste romantic material if you want to include it. (I kind of doubt anyone is burning to write hot rabbit smut for Yuletide, but, uh, if you were, I'm sorry? Shine on, you crazy diamond.) Anyway, as for the actual request: I'd really love to read some WD worldbuilding fic, particularly fics delving deeper into animal psychology and civilization. One of the things I like best about the book is that the sapient animals are still distinctly inhuman in their thoughts, feelings, and societies, and that different species of animals are so cognitively distinct from one another that even basic communication can be difficult at times. Fic that builds on that concept would be wonderful. Here are some ideas that come to mind: * I ended up not requesting Kehaar because he's not crucial to my Yuletide experience or anything, but fic from Kehaar's perspective would be pretty cool. The book suggests that he's very psychologically distinct from the rabbits (his references to concepts they can't understand), so I'd be interested to read more about his inner life, either during his time with the rabbits or his other travels. What is gull society like, anyway? * The segment of the book dealing with Cowslip's warren is harrowing and heartbreaking, and I'd love to hear more about them. What is daily life like for a rabbit when hunger is a non-issue but the snare is always out there? Do their artistic traditions help soothe their minds? Other variant rabbit cultures are welcome, too -- rabbit communities seem to be shaped by their needs, so I imagine there are a lot of possibilities there. * The existence of a cross-species pidgin language suggests there's more frequent contact between species than we see in the book proper. How does that work? Is it an emergency measure, or is there meaningful cross-cultural contact? (It occurs to me that some or all of these prompts might be addressed in Tales from Watership Down, which I own but have not read. I apologize if I'm duplicating anything from the canon, but feel free to try your own interpretations!) |

| Wasuremono | Mother 3 | Duster (Mother 3), Kumatora (Mother 3) | I've asked for these two for several Yuletides running, and I'm not gonna lie: Duster/Kumatora is kind of the M3 pairing of my heart, and I'd love to see a fic about their relationship. (If you don't ship them, a friendship fic would also be great!) While they were raised in different storybook "roles," their upbringings have a lot in common, and I think they develop a real mutual respect despite their disparate personalities. Whether you choose to read their interactions as platonic or not, I think they have a lot to offer each other. (A small note: I know the fandom is somewhat divided on the question of Duster's age. I lean towards the assumption that he's in his early twenties at the beginning of the game, while Kumatora is in her late teens, so there isn't that much of an age gap, especially after the three-year timeskip. I'd rather not read them having a huge age difference, especially since I view them as a relationship of equals.) If fic about both of them isn't your thing, I'd be happy with a fic about either one of them, maybe addressing backstory or set in the post-game. What does it mean to have been raised as a "princess" in an empty castle, or a "thief" in a town that barely recognizes the concept of private property, and what happens when the fractured-storybook world you were raised to play a part in ends? There's a ton to explore with these characters, and I'd love to read it. That said, if neither of them moves you, M3 is a real fandom of my heart, and any story you want to tell I'll probably want to read. The only thing I'm not interested in is Lucas- or Claus-centric fic, just because it already makes up the bulk of the fandom, but there are so many other characters and sidestories to choose from. I love the Magypsies, for example, and Fassad, and Alec and Wess... I could go on, but you get the picture. Write M3 and I'll love it. |

| Wasuremono | Juuichinin Iru | They Were Eleven | They Were Eleven sketches out an amazingly diverse universe, and I'd love some worldbuilding fic about it! The few sketches of planetary life we get from the cast could easily launch whole fics on their own, and a big chunk of the intriguing ensemble cast never gets their time in the spotlight, so I'd love to hear their stories. There's character backstory, the broader backstory of the Terran colonies and their interactions with alien races (what's up with the guys whose religion keeps them from basic communication, anyway?), post-canon fic about the University lives of our cast... there's just a ton of material to work with, and you should feel free to let your imagination run wild. Feel free to use any of our titular Eleven -- TWE has a great ensemble cast, and I'd be happy to learn more about any of them. That said, I recognize that Frol and Tada were the only two characters nominated, so don't fret if you hoped to write fic about them -- that's great too! I think the end of the story leaves them both with directions for further exploration. In Tada's case, there's still a lot he needs to understand about his past: why the Elder sealed it away, for one thing, and what exactly he was trying to accomplish with the traumatic reveal. What's really going on there? When it comes to Frol, I'd love to see a more nuanced consideration of gender-identity issues. The only part of the manga that left a bad taste in my mouth was the implication that Frol would become a woman just to be with Tada, and I'd like to see Frol have the chance to make a more nuanced decision about gender, especially in the more egalitarian society of the University. I'm fine with Frol choosing either gender (or choosing to develop naturally), but I'd like to see it as a free decision not made under pressure from external factors. I'm cool with Frol/Tada, whether that turns out to be het, slash (Frol goes male but Tada still has feelings for him/decides to try and make it work?), or something in between. |

| Wasuremono | Top Ten (Comic) | Irma Geddon, Joe Pi | Irma and Joe are my favorite mismatched-buddy-cop duo ever, and I'd be very happy to see them in a new adventure close to the tone of the canon. Casefic is great, whether it's a challenging/unusual case or more "routine" police work; no police work in Neopolis is really routine, after all, so feel free to go nuts. I've made some jokes about this being the Yuletide where I just write "THEY FIGHT CRIME IN SPACE" for all my requests, but this is the fandom where I'm actually doing it. Irma and Joe can fight crime! In space! Go nuts! If casefic isn't your bag, I could also go for some slice-of-(weird)-life. What was Joe's life like before his transfer, and how is he adjusting to it? Does being married to a precognitive ever give Irma problems besides Ron's unemployment, and what is it like for the Wornows parenting metahuman kids? I'm a big fan of slice-of-life fic combined with high weirdness, and Top Ten is a fandom that allows for that in spades. |

| water_bby | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Phryne Fisher, Dorothy "Dot" Williams | I really like the mentor/mentee aspect of relationship between Phryne and Dot, but I'll be happy with any story that involves the two of them, with or without anybody else. | letter |
| water_bby | Ripper Street | Susan Hart, Emily Reid | Emily and Susan fascinate me, especially the ways they don't fit expectations. I'd love to see anything with them -- a compare/contrast story, a tea party (with or without their respective husbands), helping with a case, femmeslash.... | |
| water_bby | Veritas: The Quest | Vincent Siminou, Solomon Zond | The first episode I saw, I thought, "Vincent is totally step-parenting Nikko!" And I've never really looked back. However, I'm open to any exploration of the relationship between Solomon and Vincent, either gen or slash, pre- or post- or during show. | |
| water_bby | Much Ado About Nothing - Shakespeare | Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing), Benedick (Much Ado) | Where to start? I love these two -- the banter, the UST, the hints of a history. So, I'll be happy with anything from their wedding to a zombie apocalypse AU. | |
| water_bby | Much Ado About Nothing (2012) | Benedick (Much Ado About Nothing 2012), Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing 2012) | I really like this version of Beatrice and Benedick. How did they end up in bed together at the beginning? What happens after the end of the movie? Do they settle down or go globetrotting? | |
| Wayfarers | A Clockwork Orange (1971) | Alex DeLarge Pete (A Clockwork Orange), Georgie (A Clockwork Orange), Dim (A Clockwork Orange) | Anything further exploring the dynamic between these characters would be welcome. Something that happened before the film? An unseen moment that took place during? How these four met up? If you've got a fic in mind already that you'd love to write, go for it, otherwise, the Dear Yuletide Author letter has some more specific prompts. | letter |
| Wayfarers | Kick-Ass (2010) | Dave Lizewski, Chris D'Amico | I'm fine with your fic taking place any time; I've seen both films so don't worry about spoilers. I'm really interested in anything exploring the dynamic between these two. I loved all their interactions in both movies and I think there's a lot of potential to explore their relationship further. If you have an idea of your own already, go for it! If you'd like me to toss a few ideas out, my Dear Yuletide Author letter has prompts. | letter |
| Wayfarers | Dangan Ronpa | Oowada Mondo, Ishimaru Kiyotaka | Any interaction between these two either during the game or before it would be great. I'm perfectly fine with both gen and shippy fic for these two! If you have your own idea already, awesome, but if you want some inspiration I've put some general likes about the canon as well as some prompts in my Dear Yuletide Author letter! | letter |
| Wayfarers | Breaking Bad | Gustavo Fring | First: The world needs more Gus fic so thank you for offering to write this fic! I have a few ideas listed in my Dear Yuletide Author letter if you want a prompt, but if you've already thought of something you want to write, go for it! I'm really up for anything involving Gus, so feel free to write something focused on Gus alone or something with Gus and any other character from Breaking Bad. | letter |
| Wayfarers | Bates Motel (2013) | Norma Bates | I'm not picking here, I'd absolutely adore anything involving Norma, whether alone or interacting with other characters. Write me the Norma fic of your dreams. If you want some ideas, I do have prompts along with a bit of rambling about why I love this fandom in my Dear Yuletide Author letter! | letter |
| weasleytook | All Our Yesterdays - Cristin Terrill | Marina "Em" Marchetti, Finn Abbott | Even though I am only requesting Finn and Em, I would be totally cool if you included Nate and/or James. I just didn't request them so there wouldn't be too much pressure on you to include all 4, but I loooooooove them so feel free to throw them in if it fits the story. As for stories, well, there are so many things! What about one of the 14 other times Finn and Em went back in time to stop the Doctor? None of them are shown in the book and only mentioned in passing, so it would be cool to see them written about. How about what happens immediately after the end of the book? How will this timeline's version of Finn and Em go on? How will they be different from the Finn and Em we've come to know over the course of the book? If you want to stray from canon and explore what could have happened if things had been different, then go for it. Gen is absolutely fine if you just want to write about Em and Finn's various adventures. But in case you want to know my shipping preferences, Em/Finn are my ultimate OTP, but I also like Marina/James and Marina/Nate. (And for those who haven't read the book and might be taking a peek at this letter, there is a good reason why I sometimes call her Em and sometimes Marina, and also go read this book!) There are literally ZERO fics for this book as of this writing, so I'd be excited for anything you'd want to write. Honestly, a thousand words of Finn organizing his book shelves would be amazing. (More info available at the link.) |

| weasleytook | Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) | Taylor Gentry, Leslie Vernon, Doug (Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon), Doc Halloran | I would love love love love to see what happens after the movie, especially since it seems the filmmakers have been unable to get funding to produce the sequel. Does Leslie go after Taylor again? (Of course he would, right?) Would Taylor ever be able to look past what he does and care for him in a romantic way? (Jamie was Eugene's Survivor Girl that he ended up in a relationship with, so maybe Taylor could be that to Leslie.) Is Doc Halloran capable of defeating Leslie once and for all or will Leslie destroy his Ahab? And what about Doug? Maybe Doug and Taylor hook up just so she's no longer the "virgin" that a Survivor Girl is supposed to be? There are so many possibilities! Obviously, I ship Taylor/Leslie, and would also be okay with Taylor/Doug and would be more than okay with no shipping at all if that's what you want to write. I just want more of these characters, in whatever way you want to give it to me. (More info available at the link.) |
letter |
| weasleytook | Eli Stone (TV) | Eli Stone, Maggie Dekker | I don't really have any specific prompts for this one (sorry, sorry!), I just need closure. There have already been some lovely fics written but would it hurt to have one more? Absolutely not. Obviously I loved Eli/Maggie as a ship, but it's cool if you don't want them to end up together. I just will always want to know more about these two characters, regardless of where they end up. So go with whatever you think happened after the credits rolled on the last episode. Did Eli live a long and healthy life or did he die young? (It's okay to kill him off if you feel like it serves the story.) How does Maggie fit in to any of this? What if his visions disappeared forever? Or what if they became even more alarming? Feel free to throw in any other character from the series if you want, as I pretty much loved them all. (I do not ship Eli/Grace though, just a head's up.) (More info available at the link.) |

| weasleytook | Evil Dead (2013) | Mia (Evil Dead 2013), Ash Williams (Evil Dead (2013)) | Now, I realize I may be shooting myself in the foot (or in the spirit of the movies - sawing my own hand off) with my character requests, but I figured "go big or go home". I am absolutely going to give anyone who might write this an out, and that out is: you do not have to write Ash if you really don't want to or if you have not seen the original series of movies and don't feel like you can get a grasp on his character. That is absolutely okay by me. I would be thrilled with anything Mia-centric, whether it's stories from before the movie starts or whether you pick up from the ending of the movie. How would Mia handle what she's been through? (Especially in light of her struggles with addiction.) She starts off the movie as someone you might see as weak, but by the end she proves how strong she really is and that she's capable of overcoming the worst possible circumstances. Basically, she's a badass. So ANYTHING revolving around Mia would light up my life. If you do want to be bold and include Ash, then feel free to have fun with it. (For some reason, I have this scenario of Mia ending up in some support group for PTSD or addiction or whatever and Ash is there too, being his smarmy self, but that's just one scenario!) How would Ash and Mia compare experiences? Maybe they end up having to fight a new kind of evil together! Just roll with whatever crazy thing you can think of and I'll be stoked! Also of note, I do have non-con in my dislikes, and I stick to that, however I acknowledge that there is canonical rape in this movie and references to that are fine, just no detailed explorations of it, please. :) (More info at the link.) |

| weasleytook | National Treasure Series | Riley Poole, Benjamin Franklin Gates, Abigail Chase | It's almost stupid how much I love these movies. I love any kind of movie/book/game/etc. that follows this whole "here's a clue, let's follow it to somewhere interesting and find another clue!" plot, and the National Treasure series is one of the best at it. They are just so monumentally fun and I never get sick of watching them. Not ever. It's really the adventure aspect of it that I love the most, so ANY fic that puts these three on a grand adventure will make me starry-eyed. I am constantly yelling about the lack of a third movie in this series, because I just need more of it. (WHAT IS PAGE 47 FFS?!?) So if you want to come up with an idea for what Page 47 is or have Ben, Riley and Abigail following some other treasure hunt, then run with it. Preferences wise, Riley and Abigail are my FAVORITES so if they get to shine, then I will be thrilled. Shipping wise, I am fine with references to canon Ben/Abigail but I don't really care about them enough to ask for a fic centered on their relationship. I prefer the delightfully non-canon Riley/Abigail ship. (And would accept a Riley/Abigail/Ben OT3 situation and really don't want Riley/Ben. That's not an anti-slash stance, just an anti-Riley/Ben stance.) (More info at the link.) |

| weasleytook | No Ordinary Family | Katie Andrews, J. J. Powell | There is a simple reason I HAD to watch this show when it started. Because superpowers. Because I love origin stories and watching people adjust to brand new powers. But then a strange thing happened and an odd and unexpected non-canon relationship took hold in in my heart. And that was JJ and Katie. Three years ago at Yuletide, I was matched to someone on this fandom with these characters (and bless them, because it was someone who shipped them too). I was thrilled to write fic for it and for them in particular. It was the first ever fic written for that pairing. Good times. Then the show got canceled in the spring and everyone essentially forgot it existed. My fic remains the one and ONLY fic ever written for this ship. In a way, that's sort of a cool thing to have as a fanfic writer. But, ultimately, I cannot re-read my own fic every year for the rest of my life to sustain my feelings about these two. So I'm throwing this out there in the hopes that someone will pick it up, and that someone still remembers the show! (And will likely continue to request it until I actually get matched on it!) I absolutely understand if you want to write gen for them, since it is kind of an out there ship, and will enjoy whatever you write no matter what it is. So if you want to write about them being friends, or co-brainiac geniuses or whatever - that's great. But if you want to write them romantically (with JJ aged up to a legal age OF COURSE), then that's equally great! The show ended with all sorts of cliffhangers (Katie had a super baby? What? George has super powers now? What?), so those are some things to deal with. I'd like Katie's creeper babydaddy out of the picture if at all possible. I'm sitting here trying to come up with any specific prompts but all I can think is: OMG ANYTHING REALLY OKAY ANYTHING. Because this really is a rare fandom and I don't foresee a lot of people writing for it through the rest of my life time so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanything. Feel free to include any of the Powells or George if you like! (More info at the link.) |

| wei | 宫 | Gong | Palace (TV) | Thank you for offering to write fic for this show! I was ridiculously addicted to this show when I first watched it and would be thrilled to find someone else out there who is familiar with it. I've listed some prompts below, but feel free to write what you feel like, about any of the characters (even the ones not nominated). I'd prefer if the story doesn't go above T in rating. Qingchuan and the 8th prince are adorable together. I'd love to see more about their early married life that the show time skips over - during the last days of the Kangxi Emperor's reign or during the early days of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign. Whether cute fluffy scenes of them teasing each other, or more serious political maneuverings - I love it all. Ningxiang is possibly the cutest thing ever, and I wish the show had given us more of Qingchuan and her being best friends. Alternatively, what was it like for her and the 13th prince while imprisoned? Concubine Liang returned to the modern world after spending a lifetime away - what was the transition like for her? Did she ever look for Qingchuan's mother (and did they become friends, maybe? An AU where she brings Qingchuan's mother out of the state Qingchuan's disappearance left her?) Just as an aside, as much as I like the show, I'm not a huge fan of the way things ended (like, the last 10 minutes of the show) or of the sequel. If you want to keep things as they are canonically, that's perfectly fine, but feel free to AU things slightly if it makes things easier for you or if you have any ideas. For the ending, I wish that instead of Qingchuan just leaving the 8th prince for the modern world (without ever asking him if he wanted to come with her or explaining what was going on with both her and his mom), she'd either scheme/find a way to bring him with her or leave him enough clues that he'd put it all together and follow her intentionally. And I wish that instead of only a couple months (seemingly) that went by in the modern world, it had actually been the 15 or so years and they had to deal with the lost time. For the sequel, I wish there had been more continuity of characters (besides the 4th prince/Yongzheng Emperor) - I wanted Suyan finding happiness, Ningxiang and 13th prince being released and inadvertently making trouble for the Emperor (they're his allies, but they're kind of impulsive), the Emperor pining over Qingchuan - anything about our characters after the series. (So if you write any of this, I'd adore it too!) |
||
| wei | The Squire's Tales - Gerald Morris | Terence (Squire's Tales), Gawain (Squire's Tales) | Thank you for offering to write in The Squire's Tales! I love this book series so much, to the point where I tend to view all Arthurian legends (or stories based on them) through this lens (ex. Gawain's courtesy as a key attribute vs the more brutish characterization in other retellings). I'm sure I'll enjoy anything you choose to write in this series. If you would like an idea, I'd love an adventure story including Gawain and Terence. Although I love the series as a whole, I was always sad that after the first two books, most of the books centered around other characters besides those two. An adventure, whether based on an Arthurian legend or one of your own devising, would be lovely to see. Feel free to add Eileen and other past characters along as you see fit. Alternatively, Terence grows up a lot between The Squire's Quest and the end of the series, but we don't see the process of that as much since he wasn't the POV character in the later books. How does he transition from a youngster who is fumbling through life and doesn't seem to have anything under control into the wise, in control, slightly eerie character some of the others see him as? Or is this less of a change in himself, and more a change in how others see him? Or, how does his relationship with Eileen evolve and change over the years? How does she deal with who he is and his frequent absences from Camelot? Gen or pairing focused stories would be loved. However, I'd prefer it if you stayed with the canonical pairings in the series if you go with romance. Terence/Eileen has a special place in my heart. I'd prefer if the story doesn't go above T in rating and feel free to include any other canonical or original characters as you feel fit. |
|
| wei | Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede | Morwen (Enchanted Forest), Telemain (Enchanted Forest) | Thank you so much for offering to write this series. As I adore the books, I am sure that whatever you are inspired to write will be lovely, so if you have an idea, go for it. I'd prefer if the story doesn't go above T in rating and feel free to include any other canonical or original characters as you feel fit. However, if you would like a prompt, I'd love it if you could explore Morwen and Telemain's relationship. They are such different characters (super practical/sensible + head-in-the-clouds academic) and I wonder how they adjusted to being married, especially given how long both of them had lived independently. Or, how did they decide to get married (it kind of came out of the blue)? A fic demonstrating their different styles to managing magical mishaps (all too common in the Enchanted Forest!) and how they styles mesh (or don't!) would also be lovely. Alternatively, if you don't want to write about them in a romantic relationship, how did they become friends? Or what was a funny event in their friendship? |
|
| wei | 인현황후의 남자 | Inhyeonhwanghu-ui Namja | Queen In Hyun's Man | Choi Hee Jin, Kim Boong Do | Thank you for offering to write fic for this show! The show was the perfect combination of action and romance, suspense and comedy - all while being so smart, and I'm sure that anything you write will be wonderful. I'd prefer if the story doesn't go above a T in rating and, for this fandom, that the story lean more towards happy fic rather than angsty fic. The two characters are super cute together, and I'd love to see more of them interacting with each other - cute, domestic post series fic for them would be lovely. I'd also love to see more of Boong Do coping with the modern world in his brilliant way with Hee Jin's "helpful" explanations. What does Boong Do end up doing for a living in the modern world? Alternatively, although I loved this show, the deus ex machina at the end allowing Boong Do to travel back was a little unsatisfying. I'd love to see a fic addressing it (or an AU with a different solution?). |

| weird_fin | Terra Nova (TV) | Maddy Shannon, Malcolm Wallace | Relationship or friendship. Working together or just different scenes with them in it, and potentially other characters in those scenes. Or whatever you feel comfortable writing or dreaming up. | letter |
| weird_fin | Nikita (TV 2010) | Michael (Nikita 2010), Alexandra "Alex" Udinov | Nothing past mid season 3 please. But relationship or friendship, like earlier seasons with mentor angle but anything with these two is great. Learning to live outside of division is great too. Feel free to include any other characters Birkhoff is a hoot in awkward situations. | letter |
| weird_fin | Emily Owens M.D. | Emily Owens, micah barnes | Pre-relationship, relationship, or friendship. I like first time stories, would be interesting to see how they got together. Or day to day fun and adorable them at work. Feel free to include any other characters. | letter |
| weird_fin | Haven | Audrey Parker, Nathan Wuornos | No spoilers past season 1. Anything plot wise. Them contemplating the happenings, or taking care of each other as partners when one is sick, or something romantic or platonic friendship is great. | letter |
| wendelah1 | The X-Files RPF | Gillian Anderson (X-Files RPF), David Duchovny (X-Files RPF) | I ship them. I'm not interested in PWP or stories that involve infidelity. I think they had--have--a complicated relationship, including love, mutual respect, sexual attraction and possibly, though not necessarily, sex. | letter |
| wendelah1 | Nashville (TV) | Rayna Jaymes, Tandy Hampton, Juliette Barnes, Maddie Conrad | I'm interested in Rayna's relationship with her sister Tandy. They lost their mom when they were young. How did that affect their relationship? Was Rayna always close to her sister? Rayna, for reasons not entirely clear to me, put the results of a paternity test in her closet where her daughter Maddie could stumble onto it. I don't understand why she did that, why she kept the truth from Deacon, and why she lied to her daughter. It's a big mess, and in my opinion, was a huge mistake. Maybe you can help sort it out. Juliette Barnes is my favorite character. She's talented, ambitious, strong and vulnerable. She's capable of genuine kindness and toxic manipulation. Anything about her would be wonderful. I know the series has put her into an adversarial relationship with Rayna, but I think they have more in common than either of them are willing to admit. Her story line is what kept me tuning in week after week. |
letter |
| wendelah1 | thirtysomething | Melissa Steadman, Susannah Hart, Russell Weller, Peter Montefiore | Russell Weller and Peter Montfiore were on again, off again lovers. The series was cancelled before we found out the outcome of a huge cliffhanger. How did it work out for their characters? I'd prefer a happy ending, but not necessarily with each other. I loved Melissa Steadman. Pre-series, post-series. Just don't have her keep moping about Gary. Grief is fine. We all grieved. I just want to see her settled and happy. Susannah Hart. A baby, marriage, moving to New York, then bam! Widowed. There's got to be a story there. |
letter |
| wendelah1 | The Americans (TV 2013) | Paige Jennings, Sandra Beeman, Matthew Beeman, Nina (The Americans) | Paige Jennings is smart and sensitive. What's it like for her, having her parents separated, and now both absent? Sandra Beeman and Matthew Beeman both are having a hard time adjusting to Stan's return home from deep cover. Has he changed? Have they? What was it like then, versus now? Anything about this dysfunctional family would be pleasing to me. I'd love to know more about Nina. Her backstory. How she keeps it together. Anything really. |
letter |
| wendymr | Lewis (TV) | James Hathaway, Robert Lewis (Lewis) | What I love most about this series is the relationship (friendship, subtext or more) between the two lead protagonists. Separated by a generation, by completely different philosophies and beliefs, and (at least on the surface) by educational backgrounds, and with an authority relationship between them, they still manage to relate to each other with a level of mutual caring - and snarkiness - that's a joy to watch. So I'd love something that reflects that. More in my Dear Author letter, and all my Lewis fanfic is on my LJ and on AO3 under this screenname if that's helpful also. Thank you for writing for me! |
letter |
| wendymr | Inspector Morse (TV) | Inspector Morse (Morse - TV), Robert Lewis (Lewis) | As in my Dear Author letter, what I love most about this series is the friendship (in this case, no subtext or slash) between the two protagonists. Morse is bad-tempered, supercilious, ungrateful and, while he is well aware of the social graces, chooses not to use them. Robbie Lewis, his much-put-upon sergeant, is irritated by him a lot of the time, bloody furious with him occasionally - and yet loves him and looks out for him regardless. I'd love something that reflects this, and even better if it focuses on that period near the end of Morse's life, when it really hits Robbie how much he does care about his boss. That final farewell scene in the morgue is heartwrenching, as is Robbie's reaction when he's told by phone that Morse is dead. Thank you for writing for me! |
letter |
| wendymr | Inspector Lynley Mysteries (TV) | Barbara Havers, Thomas Lynley | Unlikely friendship is, for me, what makes this series. They're from opposite ends of the social spectrum; she has a chip on her shoulder the size of Antarctica, and he has no idea how to relate to someone who didn't go to public school or university. Yet they end up supporting each other against the odds, acknowledging each other as friends, and with hints towards the end of the series that perhaps what they feel for each other is more than friendship. Friendship, subtext or romance, I don't mind at all - but I would love something which reflects the growth of their relationship, and especially how Barbara's view of Lynley changed from seeing him as an over-educated toff playing at being a copper to seeing him as her best mate whose back she'd have regardless of the cost. Thank you for writing for me! |
letter |
| wendymr | Endeavour (TV) | Endeavour Morse, Fred Thursday | Friendship is the theme of my request here. Young Morse is prickly and socially awkward, but very clever. He's a fish out of water, and most people he works with resent his intelligence and his disinclination for the kind of social interaction they prefer. He's not interested in making friends, taking part in office gossip or gawping at pin-ups. Most people think he looks down his nose at them. But Thursday recognises the intelligence and the awkwardness, and takes Morse under his wing. (So, to a degree, does Jim Strange, and I'd love to see Strange included, but I didn't list him as essential because I don't want you to feel obliged). What I would love is something that reflects the relationship: what exactly does Thursday see in Morse and why does he want to mentor him? Would rather not have Jakes, and no Morse/anyone, please; I don't care for doomed relationships, and so I don't ship Morse with anyone. Thank you for writing for me! |

| were_duck | The Summer Prince - Alaya Dawn Johnson | Website/Journal/Dear Yuletide Author http://were-duck.dreamwidth.org/271984.html | ||
| were_duck | Metropolis Suites - Janelle Monáe | I'd love a piece touching on the details we get from the Electric Lady in particular, and the underground mythology that's starting to build up around Cindi, maybe how she reacts to the DJ Crash Crash station etc? This is just a suggestion--I'll be thrilled by anything you create! | letter | |
| were_duck | Aliens (1986) | Pre-canon, during canon or AU ending fics about either (or both, if you'd like) Ripley or Vasquez would be AWESOME. | letter | |

| were_duck | Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell | Simon Snow (Fangirl), Cath Avery, Tyrannus Basilton "Baz" Pitch (Fangirl) | ||
| WhatBecomesOfYou | The Fosters (TV 2013) | Brandon Foster, Callie Jacob | I love these two. The girl who just wants to be loved and the boy who just wants to love her. Separately, together, separate but wanting to be together, whichever way you decide to take these two, I'll love it. From following up on their first kiss to following them down the road to their future, or anywhere in between, I just love these two, okay? Any rating's fine, and I've seen the entire season. |
letter |
| WhatBecomesOfYou | Devious Maids (TV) | Valentina Diaz, Remi Delatour | I love them despite the fact that they're on a cheesy cable soap opera, maybe because even though they tow the line of being a cliche, I don't feel like they ever quite step over the line. Plus, they're just really cute together. Something set at any point in the series - before rehab, when they're just friends, or while he's in rehab (how does he decide that Valentina is the one that he wants?), or after they become a couple, or after the season finale - whatever variation works for you, works for me. Any rating is fine, and I've seen the entire season. |
letter |
| WhatBecomesOfYou | Lie to Me (TV) | Cal Lightman, Gillian Foster | I would love, love, love to read anything you can write for these two. I may or may not still be a little bitter that Fox canceled the show - then again, that's par for the course with Fox. I love their little symbiotic relationship and all the history they have together and how Emily just adores Gillian, and apparently, I have a lot more Cal/Gillian feelings than I realized I still had. If you don't want to write them together as a couple, then some sort of awesome little friendship piece (maybe including Emily?) would be fantastic. I just love these characters and want to see them in fic again. Any rating is fine, and I've seen the entire series. |
letter |
| WhatBecomesOfYou | Under The Dome (TV) | Dale "Barbie" Barbara, Julia Shumway | This show wasn't always living up to the expectations I had of it from the start, but I really did enjoy it when it was said and done. A lot of my enjoyment came from these two and their little romance that started up. I love the dynamic they have with each other, the give and take and the loyalty that led to what we saw in the finale. I prefer them together, but even apart, they still have a very important dynamic to the show. Any rating is fine, and I've seen the entire season. |
letter |
| WhatBecomesOfYou | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Abbie Mills, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)) | The time-traveler and the strong-willed lieutenant, teaming up to save the world. With those little shared glances that sizzle and pop. And chemistry. And - okay, I ship it. Treat history as the show treats history, and I'll be happy, though. How does a relationship form between the two? Any rating is fine, and I'm currently up to date with the series, and should remain so through Yuletide. |
letter |
| WhatBecomesOfYou | America's Next Top Model RPF | Chris Hernandez (America's Next Top Model RPF), Nina Burns (America's Next Top Model RPF), Jourdan Miller (America's Next Top Model RPF) | My three favorites from the season. It's not the first time I've shipped something on America's Next Top Model, but it's the first time I'm requesting RPF for Yuletide. I really like Chris/Nina, Jourdan/Nina and the three of them together as an OT3. Chris, the guy with self-esteem issues, Nina, the quirky, happy girl, and Jourdan, the beauty with a tough past. What's life like in the Top Model house when you're in a relationship with one (or two) of your fellow cast members? Any rating is fine, and I'm up-to-date with the season, and should remain so through Yuletide. |
letter |
| whatimages | The Young Blood Chronicles (Music Video Series) | Pete (Young Blood Chronicles), Patrick (Young Blood Chronicles) | I would love anything that plays with some of the jesus imagery in this series, or something that questions what rock and roll really is and why it might be worth saving (or not). More details at my DA letter! | letter |
| whatimages | The Matrix (Movies) | Trinity (The Matrix) | Trinity is one of my very favourite characters of all time, so I would love anything about her. More details in my DA letter. | letter |
| whatimages | PlanetES | Claire Rondo | Claire is my favourite character by far in Planetes, and I would love anything about her life--past, future, relationships, anything. See DA letter for more details! | letter |
| whatimages | Princess Tutu | Rue (Princess Tutu) | I love Rue and her journey, and I would love to read anything about her! See DA letter for more details. | letter |
| whatsubtext | Tam Lin - Pamela Dean | Robin Armin, Thomas Lane | Dear Yuletide author: Pamela Dean's Tam Lin was an old comfort read of mine years ago and I've just been reminded of it by Yuletide signups. I always wondered what happened with the boys in those alluded-to early history scenes that the protagonist never saw and wasn't experienced enough to catch references to-- it was clear that the Shakespeareans had deep and intimate history, and that they were just as sexual as the fae they spent so much time with. Robin was always my favorite; anything with his dangerously understated and subtle sexiness (unprepossessing in jeans, but great legs in tights, etc) and snarkery would be great. What was this like for Thomas, being drawn into that world? Canon tells us Thomas had his first time with Christine and didn't know what he was doing, but that only covered missionary m/f sex. Did his history in the fae court involve anything else? I'd enjoy that too, whether explicit or fraught. If you're not in the mood for any of this, the Shakespearean boys interacting with Thomas in pranks or madcap fairy horse rides or the otherworldly court we only get hints of would be great too, from Thomas's or any of their perspectives. Is there a real friendship between Thomas and Robin? Is there sympathy, or relief that there's another body between him and the tiend, or jealousy at a new favorite in court... or all of the above? Go nuts. |
letter |
| whatsubtext | Wines (Anthropomorfic) | nooty fights over terroir. Trader Joe's wines having a magnificent spitefest at a party where they outperform pricier things, or various parts of the wine section at a store having insecurities. Arguments over age and wood. Those dirty blended wines, so lewd and licentious, and did you see that Pinot Grigio sitting next to the hard liquor earlier? What HAS it picked up from such... contact? Naughty allusions. Scientific babble. Hopes and dreams. Go nuts. You offered this, I have faith in you. I'm pretty sure you can't do wrong here. | letter | |
| whatsubtext | Pizza (Anthropomorfic) | Wank about real buffalo mozzarella versus cheap common cheeses, or the horror of fresh mushrooms encountering canned mushrooms, or BBQ sauce bases being blissfully unaware that the traditional tomato sauce hates them and the olive oil and garlic pizza is insecure. I want pizzas being dicks to each other, pizzas being bros, pizzas giving fashion advice, wistful shy pizza hopes and dreams, the secret aspirations of BBQ chicken pizza to have some fresh basil, ingredients hoping they'll get put on a high-class pizza only to have those dreams DASHED (or fulfilled), pepperoni-slice cousins reunited for the first time after cutting side by side again in the oven, luxuriating in the hot, oily bakings and confessing pleasure or love before they arrive fragrant and unsuspecting (or fully informed) at the table. Go nuts. You offered this, I have faith in you. I'm pretty sure you can't do wrong here. | letter | |
| whatsubtext | Burning Bright - Melissa Scott | Illario Ransome, Chauvelin (Burning Bright) | The relationship between these men and their hsaia background is fascinating; there's such rich history. What were they like in bed, when they were still lovers? They're old friends but also uneasy allies-- was Ransom ever more trusting with Chauvelin, or has he always been both difficult and scarred by what his Chrestil-Brisch patron did to him? What hsaia customs does Ransome miss or still want to share with Chauvelin sometimes? I'd enjoy this being an exploration of two very clever men who both care deeply and have been taught not to trust too much or show too much emotion, for two very different reasons-- Ransome's experience of betrayal and Chauvelin's adherence to a rigidly constrained society. If you want to go sideways and only use one of them and look at a hsaia relationship, please do-- after all, if the hsaia consider adopted humans to be just as much hsaia as those born into the right species, why wouldn't they seek sex and/or romance with one? I've always liked Chauvelin's relationship with his female steward and his patron, too-- if you'd rather write about either or both of those relationships, with or without sex, I'd be delighted too. Whatever you do, roll in the richness of Scott's worldbuilding and enjoy yourself as best suits your comfort zone! | letter |
| whetherwoman | Much Ado About Nothing (2012) | Anything/worldbuilding! I'd love to see exploration of the smaller characters like Dogberry's ridiculous crew or Don John's entourage. Or anything with Beatrice, who is my favorite Shakespearean character ever. Or whatever you really want to write. Character study? Murder mystery? Snarky lovers? I will be super happy to read it. | ||
| whetherwoman | Heard on the Subway: Talking About Your Gay Son (blog post) | Oh my gooooooood I'm so glad someone who wasn't me nominated this because <3 <3 <3 <3 <3. Oh my god aaaaaaanything. John/Patrick Jr! Lucinda's thoughts on her family! Mary Ann's thoughts on her family! Mary Ann and Charlie talking! More Charlie and Pat, lots more Charlie and Pat! Future fic! Past fic! Space zombie pirate AU! Anything anything anything. (As a side note this is a tiny canon fandom, one blog post, so if you matched one of my other requests but get stumped, this is the one to google.) | ||
| whetherwoman | Robot Series - Isaac Asimov | Susan Calvin | USAN CALVIN. Anything anything anything. I just completely adore Susan Calvin. Casefic would of course be completely awesome--I can't write plot to save my life, so I SERIOUSLY admire writers who do. Character study would be awesome too. Or go wild and wacky--Susan Calvin in our 2007 rather than Asimov's alternate robotic future 2007? Susan Calvin doing your job? Susan Calvin and werewolves? Oh my god, Susan Calvin and her daemon? (asdflk that would be so awesome.) Space zombie pirates? That wouldn't even have to be an AU, would it. | |
| whetherwoman | Social Network (2010) RPF | Jesse Eisenberg (Social Network RPF), Andrew Garfield (Social Network RPF) | Friendship or slash, either would be lovely! (If your inclinations run this way, I would be super in favor of porn.) What I love reading most about this pairing is them genuinely liking each other, and both of them being just a touch surprised by that. I like fic that acknowledges and celebrates the benefits and downsides of neurodiversity without being pitying or needing miraculous "cures". As with my other requests I am totally into off-the-wall AUs as well. (Regency pirate AU? Has anyone done that yet?) | |
| whisperbird | Tiger & Bunny | I would really really enjoy a piece about Jake and Kriem's life in the 5 years they were living together. Anything cute or funny would be very much appreciated; please err on the side of no angst. I'm not going to be too picky about what I get, but anything domestic will also win you points. | ||
| whisperbird | Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann | Simon (Gurren Lagann) | I would absolutely love a Viral/Simon piece (shipping or not) perhaps taking place after the events of the show or maybe even an AU or some sort? In any case, anything featuring them as the main character is fine by me. | |
| whisperbird | Cowboy Bebop | Spike Spiegel, Vicious (Cowboy Bebop), Julia (Cowboy Bebop) | What I'm really looking for is a Spike/Vicious/Julia-centric story. Maybe something taking place before the events of the show? I can dig gen or shipping (either Julia with Spike or Vicious or Spike/Vicious or an OT3). I'm not picky about my genre, but nothing too sad please. |
|
| whisperbird | Vinland Saga (Manga) | Thorfinn | I would love a gen piece about Thorfinn and Canute when they were younger. Any interaction. I wouldn't say no to slash, but I'd prefer a gen piece. | |
| whisperingblue | Catfish: The TV Show RPF | Max Joseph, Nev Schulman | I love these two and their bromance, their banter, and just how fun they are. I'd like buddy fic for this one, as I don't slash them, but if you feel like going the shippy route? That's fine with me. Mainly I want on the road hijinks while they're filming Catfish, little slice of life stuff while they're at the hotels just waiting around, things like that. | |
| whisperingblue | Zombieland (2009) | Tallahassee, Little Rock, Columbus, Wichita | I'd like something post-movie set maybe a few years down the road. Have they managed to stay together? Have they added any new folks? Have Columbus and Wichita finally managed to hook up? Have they found a place to settle down to make some sort of lives for themselves, or you know, at the very least some sort of life during the zombie apocalypse. | |
| whisperingblue | Love Actually (2003) | Natalie (Love Actually), David (Love Actually) | I adore Natalie and David. I think their onscreen chemistry is fantastic and I love how Natalie doesn't give a damn that David is the prime minister. I think she's absolutely adorable so anything you'd like to write for me with these two is fine by me. | |
| whisperingblue | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), Katrina Crane | Perhaps something set pre-series, like when they met would be awesome. Ichabod does say that Katrina hated him when they first met, so I think that it would be a lot of fun to see their banter and how things turned from that to love. | |
| whisperingblue | Twisted Princess (Disney Fanart) | Maid Marian (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Snow White (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01) | I'm good with either one of these ladies to be honest with you. I don't really want a crossover, so either or is fine with me. I love the way that Marian has been portrayed in this, but what I really want to know what got her to that point? Did something happen to Robin? With Snow the tone of the overall picture is just so creepy and Hellish that I just love it. I'm good with anything that you want to write for me with this, just please keep the overall creepy vibe/feeling to the piece. |

| whiterabbit1613 | Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse | Rupert Psmith, Mike Jackson | Psmith/Mike slashiness of any rating would be worshipped but is not required. | |
| whiterabbit1613 | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | T. E. Lawrence | Lawrence paired with any of the other non-British characters is always wonderful. If dear author is uncomfortable with that, then I'm very happy with anything dealing with Lawrence feeling more at home in the desert than at home -- that feeling of not being sure where he belongs. | |
| whiterabbit1613 | Aubrey-Maturin Series - Patrick O'Brian | Stephen Maturin, Jack Aubrey | Any shenanigans/adventures aboard ship or in exotic ports of call would be wonderful -- "shenanigans" of all ratings. | |
| whiterabbit1613 | The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon | Josef Kavalier, Sam Clay, Tracy Bacon | Anything revolving around these wonderful characters, especially the Sam/Tracy pairing. | |
| whiterabbit1613 | Black Books | Anything from this fandom is excellent. Bernard being snarky, etc. | ||
| Who Shot AR (akerwis) | Dragon Age (Comics) | Maevaris Tilani, Thorold (Dragon Age (Comics)) | The hint we got of Mae/Thorold in the comics was adorable, and I want to see more. How did they meet? What attracted them to each other? Did they go on any exciting adventures before Thorold's death? What stories could she tell us about those times? Note: I would prefer not to receive fic that focuses solely on Mae's gender identity and others' reactions to it. Additional details in my letter. |
letter |
| Who Shot AR (akerwis) | Gypsies Tramps and Thieves (Song) | Narrator's Daughter (Gypsies Tramps and Thieves) | What happens to the narrator's daughter after the song ends? Does she live out the same cycle as her mother, or are things different for her? (I'll be honest, I'm kind of hoping for the latter!) Additional details in my letter. |
letter |
| Who Shot AR (akerwis) | Jirel of Joiry - C. L. Moore | Jirel of Joiry | What would it be like if Jirel had to work with another woman to save the day? Or just to get through the day? I'd love to see what happens when Jirel has to deal with female allies as well as male ones. Otherwise, I'd love an exploration of her backstory and the world of Joiry. Additional details in my letter. |
letter |
| Who Shot AR (akerwis) | Flygirl - Sherri L. Smith | Lily Lowenstein, Ida Mae Jones | I am craving post-book fic! The book's ending was satisfying, but there are so many things I still want to know, and I want Ida Mae and Lily to be right at the center of it all. I'd be especially interested in Lily's reaction to the Holocaust or Ida telling Lily about passing as white to join the WASP. If those are too heavy for you, I'd also love cuteness with Lily's new family (I need to know what they name the baby!). Ida and Lily's friendship becomes so important by the end of the story that I'd be happy to read anything about them. Additional details in my letter. |
letter |
| Who Shot AR (akerwis) | The Ramsay Scallop - Frances Temple | Elenor of Ramsay, Thomas of Thornham | As with Flygirl, this book makes me yearn for more post-story details! When they return to England, how does their trip change how they see Ramsay? How soon are they married? How adorable are their children? What scrapes do they (okay, Elenor) manage to get into even when they're right where they came from? If you aren't in the mood for sweet and fluffy, I'd also love Thomas telling Elenor a little more about life as a crusader, as it clearly affected him. Additional details in my letter. |
letter |
| Who Shot AR (akerwis) | Beauty and the Beast (1991) | Belle (Beauty and the Beast (1991)), Prince Adam (Beauty and the Beast 1991) | After they're married, surely they have the means to travel. And I bet the Beast/Prince Adam would be willing to take Belle pretty much anywhere in the world if it means she'd be happy. So where do they go? And what do they do? If you're not in the mood for roadtrips, how about some fluffy domesticity? I will read pretty much anything about marriage and babies and housekeeping. My letter includes some fanart inspiration ideas, but anything from "what do we name the baby" to "wait, how the fuck do I run a household?" would be wonderful. Additional details in my letter. |
letter |
| whoistorule | Twelfth Night - Shakespeare | Olivia (Twelfth Night), Sebastian (Twelfth Night), Viola | Cesario (Twelfth Night) | ome sort of modern AU would be great! Maybe noir where Viola is the tired PI and Olivia is the widow, or maybe mobster AU or spy AU. And I'm down with Olivia/Sebastian and/or Olivia/Sebastian/Viola and/or Olivia/Viola. (I added the Viola | Cesario thing because it lists her in the fandom list but for some reason it didn't come up on the dropdown menu?) | |
| whoistorule | The Tudors | Anne Boleyn (The Tudors), Henry VIII of England (The Tudors), Thomas Cromwell (The Tudors) | I'm interested in a modern political AU where Anne Boleyn is First Lady and Henry VIII is President and Thomas Cromwell is Chief of Staff or something of that sort. Really just a reimagining of Anne as a modern political player is my dream. And I'm into Anne/Thomas fucking behind Henry's back, but any sort of Anne-centric modern AU would be wonderful. | |
| whoistorule | The Hour | Bel Rowley, Lix Storm | Does not have to just include Bel and Lix by any means! I love everyone on this show. But I just want fic of Bel and Lix doing stuff together. It doesn't have to be romantic/sexual (though I'm always in favor) but I'd love for them to run away together somewhere. Maybe they go on a business trip, or maybe they go to America looking for Freddie in the interim between series 1 and 2, or any number of things, I just want interaction between them because I love them so much. | |
| whoistorule | Uglies Series - Scott Westerfeld | Shay (Uglies), Tally Youngblood | I would love shay/tally I love them so much any stage of their relationship/friendship anything really anything. Maybe during specials or between specials and extras? I'm good with tally/zane as well! Just no tally/david please, I really can't stand tally/david. | |
| who_la_hoop | Cinderella (Fairy Tale) | Prince (Cinderella - Fairy Tale), Cinderella (Fairy Tales) | I unashamedly love the delicious romance of this story, and all its wish fulfilment goodness. I am a sucker for love at first sight between two characters who seem opposites in terms of fortune and circumstance. I love the idea of a universally desired man falling in love so hard with someone ordinary, and being determined to track that person down and win them forever, no matter how difficult the search seems. I love that Cinderella is unrecognisable when dressed up for the ball — SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR SHENANIGANS. Disguises, and mistaken identities, and characters not being who they seem = win. I am really open about what I want here, as long as it has a happy ending, so if you have your pet story you'd like to write, please go for it! Don't feel you have to stick like glue to the original fairy tale plot either - it's the themes I love, not so much the set-up. I would adore a slash take on the story, though I do also love het and femslash so I absolutely would not be disappointed with either of those. Any rating is fine - I enjoy higher ratings, and I enjoy lower ratings too. Let the story lead the way :) You can keep it light and fluffy, or go darker and kinkier, either would be delicious, as long as it has a reasonably happy ending! Maybe the prince is a pop star who falls for a member of the audience at a gig, or a movie star who sees someone behind the barriers at a premier! Or does Cinderella blag themselves in to meet their favourite star by pretending to be a journalist? How would the prince track them down afterwards? Twitter hashtags? Facebook campaigns! Clues in interviews! So much potential for fake girlfriends, and awful rumours in the press, and publicity assistants obstructing the course of true love for the sake of profit :D Or twists on the tale = love! What if it was the prince in disguise, falling for a waitress!Cinderella or a librarian!Cinderella, but reluctant to reveal his identity because of bad experiences with past lovers only wanting him for his fame/money/position? Or what if Cinderella falls for someone she thinks is the Prince's personal assistant, but is actually him, trying to put off fortune hunters? Or what if, at the 'ball', the person who is the prince is actually a hired actor because the real prince is socially awkard/actually a girl/homely looking, and yet Cinderella falls for the real prince anyway? Or what about a comic take or twist on a Harlequin-style category romance: maybe the prince is a CEO and Cinderella is his secretary, and — in the manner of Lois Lane/Clark Kent — the CEO can't tell the difference between the sexy mysterious nighttime Cinders and his glasses-wearing, prim personal assistant or cleaner or dog-walker :D Or maybe there are dating agency or online dating shenanigans! The prince thinks he's corresponding with a suitable potential wife but actually he's corresponding with Cinderella! Cinderella works at a dating agency for the super wealthy, and is mistaken by the prince for one of the eligible people on their client list! Or maybe gender confusion leads to boys in dresses who look like girls, and girls in sharp suits who pass as boys. Maybe there are similar looking siblings! Evil twins! Sexy misunderstandings! Or if you wanted to cross over the story with other fairy tales, or introduce supernatural beasts, or make the prince actually a fairy lord, or a god, or an angel, I'd be 100% on board with that. Go ahead, have fun :D |

| who_la_hoop | Fallen London | Echo Bazaar | I am a hardcore Fallen London player - I've been playing it daily for over two years now, and I love pretty much everything about it, so basically I am exceptionally easy to please! Basically, I would like a fun adventure, preferably one that's fairly upbeat, as I don't really want to be sad for Yuletide. Feel free to tell me anything about FL that you would like - I have chosen 'any' for characters, and I really mean that, I just can't prompt for every single character who's been offered or I'll be here all week :D - but if you would like some ideas... - Adventures in the tomb colonies! I want to know what daily life is like there, what fun a scandalous character can have (it strikes me that if someone scandalous is exiled there temporarily... then there must be a number of delicious scandalous people to have fun with :D), and what mischief can be done. Maybe a diary? Or letters? Or just shenanigans! - Romance! Porn! How far will Sinning Jenny go? What do the masters have under their robes? What is it like to shag the curate and his sister? Or the once-dashing smuggler? Will the devils compete to gain someone's, er, affection? Will a very delicious friend host a very polite orgy at their salon? :DDD - Zee adventures! Maybe a crossover with Sunless Sea? Sure, we don't know much about it yet, but what we do know is so intriguing! So many new destinations to zail to! And maybe His Amused Lordship will join you! Or a character will stow away? Lettice the Mercy might be fun! Or a gaggle of urchins. Or the Captivating Princess! Or your aunt - because she seems like the sort of woman who would. - I kind of love Knife & Candle. And I would kind of love a story about a player trying to get to the top of the league but being really really bad at it, and yet determined to continue. I bet s/he dies an awful lot. And in lots of inventive ways :DD - Tell me about aristocratic rivalries! Poisonings at parties; cutting people dead at the shroom-hopping races; hat wars!; stealing a rival's lover; sabotaging a salon; sending sorrow-spiders in the post; poison pen letters; and so on! This is my character but I don't particularly want you to use her. I mean, you can if you like! But I play as me, pretty much, so she's not really a RP character. I have played most of the content, including fate-locked; I have one of everything that is for sale at the bazaar; I am at the content cap for Seeking Mr Eaten's Name; my ambition is light fingers; I am still more than a little amused by my pet luxuriantly coiffed sorrow spider, and I have two Overgoats and am waiting with bated breath for them to shag :DDD And I also wanted to say: please don't feel bound to write in second person viewpoint. I mean, if you want to, sure! But I am just as happy to read a story in first or third person, from the viewpoint of a delicious friend - mine, yours, whoever's - or from a canon character. Really, whatever inspires you! |

| who_la_hoop | Jeeves - P. G. Wodehouse | Reginald Jeeves, Bertram Wooster | I have always been a big Wodehouse fan, but it wasn't until last Yuletide when I matched on this as my assignment that I started reading in the fandom. And eee - such fun! It would make me very happy to get a Jeeves/Wooster story of my own this Yuletide! I am totally up for friendship fic if that's what you want to write. I love love love Jeeves saving Bertie from his Terrible Doom, and I love even more when Bertie saves - or attempts to save! - Jeeves from his. I love Bertie's elaborate, ridiculous schemes, and when they go wrong! And I love that Jeeves can wind Bertie around his little finger, and that Bertie basically doesn't mind one bit :D I love Jeeves scheming with his friends at the Junior Ganymede! And I love Jeeves saving Bertie from his aunts. Equally, I would love a story where Jeeves and Bertie turn that friendship into something more. I prefer Jeeves/Wooster stories that are reasonably light-hearted in tone and don't get too bogged down with the issues of period homophobia - one of the things I like best about the books is the tone, so I am not too keen on heavy angst here. I love Bertie trying to win Jeeves' heart in his own inimitable way; and I equally love Bertie being oblivious and Jeeves being quietly infatuated. Maybe Bertie decides to attract Jeeves' attention by hanging out in his undies around the flat, only to be constantly interrupted by aunts and cousins and women with intentions! Maybe Bertie accidentally becomes engaged (again). Maybe Bertie is forced to dress up as a woman and pretend to be Jeeves' girlfriend at a party (or vice versa). Maybe Bertie and Jeeves take a foreign holiday and get mugged and stranded and have to rely on their wits to get home. Maybe Bertie volunteers to help a friend's art class and ends up as a reluctant life model :D Or maybe he decides to get a job, and ends up a poet, or a spy, or a zookeeper, or in debt to a gangster! Or maybe you have your own idea, and that would be lovely too! Hurrah! Feel free to make the rating as high or as low as you like - I know sex scenes in this fandom can be tricky, so whatever you're comfortable with. Bertie bravely attempting dirty talk, with Jeeves being shocked, would be quite lovely and hilarious :D A quietly passionate Jeeves is love, as is a shy Bertie! Or whatever dynamic you like, really :) |

| who_la_hoop | Loveless | Agatsuma Soubi, Aoyagi Ritsuka | I am not sure I can adequately express how much I love Loveless without resorting a keyboard smash and an awful lot of exclamation marks. To me, Loveless is just layers upon layers of fabulousness. What I love most is the characters: how they unfold in front of us, how our expectations are confounded, how a villain becomes more sympathetic (I never thought I'd feel sympathy for Nisei of all people...) I love how Ritsuka is simultaneously so innocent and yet so grown-up before his time. I love his insights. I love his clumsy attempts to comfort Soubi, and his determination to take care of him. His faith in Seimei makes me want to weep. And if I love Ritsuka, I adore Soubi. He makes my heart break into a million pieces. I hate that he has been so neglected, and that he had to give everything of himself first to Ritsu and then Seimei, neither of whom deserved him. Everything in his life is horrible — apart from Ritsuka, but his interactions with Ritsuka never make him comfortable, because Ritsuka forces him to be human, to make decisions, to care, when all Soubi has wanted so far is to shrink into himself and become a thing, rather than a human, to be ordered about. And just when he manages to express his deepest fears to Ritsuka — that Ritsuka will abandon him, like everyone else in his life has so far — he is forced to abandon Ritsuka by Seimei. *cries forever* There are so many themes that interest me in Loveless: the difference between words and action, both in everyday life and in spell battles; how the physical 'performance' of love differs from real love; what the relationship between fighter and sacrifice really means; how mental pain can be worse than physical pain, and how your fears can harm you more than violence. I would love to see your take on what happens next. How does Ritsuka get Soubi back from Seimei? What happens if — when — Ritsuka's 'real' fighter shows up — what does Ritsuka do and how does Soubi cope? What if Seimei commands Soubi to fight against Ritsuka? (Or to fight against Ritsuka and the real Loveless fighter? Would he? Could he?). Or what about feeling out some of the unanswered questions so far: why hasn't Ritsuka's name shown up on him yet? What if it's not really Loveless at all? (Could he be a blank sacrifice?) What if it's Beloved? Do Ritsuka's lost memories hold the key? Or I would adore to see some vignettes focusing on Ritsuka and Soubi — maybe a 'five times' type story, or snippets of their life together, or something set in a nebulous 'after it's all over' time. I love slow-burn, gradual, getting together fics. I love them giving each other presents, and Ritsuka teaching Soubi to be more normal, and Soubi taking care of Ritsuka, and I love Ritsuka's schoolfriends and the normality they bring to his life. I love Kio too, and I am growing to the love the odd Zero boys, who seem to care for Ritsuka and Soubi without quite knowing why. I love awkward romantic declarations, and first time fics. Please be sensitive about the issues involved if you do decide to take their relationship further. The only way I can see Soubi happy is with Ritsuka. But I find their relationship in canon deeply problematic — as it is undoubtedly meant to be. I think Soubi is so desperate to force a bond between them, and to prove something that just can't be proved — that he genuinely loves Ritsuka — that he acts in inappropriate ways. And Ritsuka is old enough to have a crush but too young to know how to process it, or to want to act on it. So please let Ritsuka guide the pace, and if anything much more than kissing is happening between them, I would vastly prefer it if he was at least 15/16, thank you ♥ |

| wickedtrue | Red 2 (2013) | Han Cho Bai | I am a giant history nerd! I would LOVE any 1990s spy craft piece based in S. Korea. Maybe about how Han Cho Bai was burned by Frank? Or any other background style piece that you might want to do! Any inclusion of N. Korea would be great as well! (Well, not great, since that was a horrible time period for N. Korea) Or, if that is not up your alley, how about more about Han Cho Bai's team that we meet briefly in the movie? Or, even more main cast team adventures! Maybe a new mission or more sides of the mission we see in the movie. I do so enjoy this movie! |
letter |
| wickedtrue | Shine On Me - Chris Dane Owens (Music Video) | It is my YULETIDE DREAM to one day have fic for this video! What is happening in this video? No, seriously, tell me. I can see there is meant to be some sort of story, but I can't figure out what that story might be. Who is the red headed, attractive lady? Is she a princess? Random lady from the forest? Is she a mage or just happens to do mage things sometimes? Is Chris Dane Owens' character a prince? Or a rogue? Or a pirate? Is he a prince rogue pirate? What are the pirates doing? Are those dudes that sometimes follow Chris Danes Owens around even pirates? Those three ladies in black, are they good guys, bad guys, ambiguous guys? They're dragons, aren't they? Who is the masked man and why is he Victor Von Doom-ing in the ice castle? Who the hell are the blonde sky ladies? Or is it one lady? I CAN'T TELL. Why did that ship explode? Why are characters dropping that random box into Mount Doom? Is the red head now queen? Was Chris Dane Owens queen? And why do we keep color matching all the costumes to the scenery??? No, seriously, what the hell is going on? Give me a coherent story, yuletide writer! Or a silly story. Really, can there be plot? :D? Tell me all about these characters! It does not have to star Chris Dane Owens' character, either. All of the characters really interest me. |

| wickedtrue | Doctor Lollipop | Nurse Crackers, Dr. Lollipop, Dr. Woodsman, Dr. Coco | I LOVE THIS THING. MORE OF THE SAME? Is that possible?! I cackled the whole way through my first viewing of the video, then made all my friends watch it while cackling even more. BISHIE UNICORN PARODY!! Maybe our forest friends have another case they need to solve through the power of working together (and chainsaws, v. important)? Has there been some sort of (funny yet serious) epidemic in the forest that must be solved? Are there more dinosaurs? There are more dinosaurs, aren't there? |
letter |
| wickedtrue | Bee and PuppyCat | PuppyCat, Bee (Bee and PuppyCat) | I loved this! I love Natasha's work; I also grew up on Sailor Moon as a fundamental influence on my creative life. I really love that Bee is a bit of an idiot and has not gotten a hang on this whole "adult" thing. It's so nice to have a not perfect protagonist! Goodness knows how she is able to afford an apartment on her own with her temp history (oooh, can you explain that to me?!). I would love fic about Puppycat. Either trying to regain his human form or maybe what he is doing temping as a uniformed magical soldier in another dimension. Is he a good person or a monster? Is it Bee's destiny to be a super girl or was this all just happenstance? Tell me all you want to tell me! Or even another zany adventure! |
letter |
| WickedWonder | Star Trek RPF | Martina Sirtis (Star Trek RPF), Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek RPF) | Marina (ahem) and Jonathan are friends, who just happen to play exes that evolve to being married, over the course of time. Any peek into their friendship, whether early, late, or in between, would float my boat hardcore. I love all the TNG actors in a creepy way, so feel free to have anyone else make appearances! Way too much info at my YT letter. | letter |
| WickedWonder | Archie Comics | Jughead Jones, Reggie Mantle | What do these two do when the redhead's not around? Could be 'shippy, could be an awesome gen adventure, the sky's the limit! I love these two together. I have no problems with anyone else in this fandom either, so go crazy! More info in my YT letter. | letter |
| WickedWonder | Questionable Content | Marten Reed, Claire Augustus | hip fic. Oh my lord, ship fic. If you are making a face at me now, I totally deserve it. I just heart Claire, and Marten, and them together... yes. If you are now flipping me off, I will totally love with hearts a non-shippy story focused on them. I love everyone in this fandom, so feel free to include whoever else you'd life. Even Pintsize. Especially Pintsize. (I received a Pintsize story once- I still laugh when I think about it. I love the little guy.) More details and squealing at my YT letter. | letter |
| WickedWonder | Soldier's Girl (2003) | Barry Winchell, Calpurnia "Callie" Addams | For this dark and angsty movie, I am requesting total fluffy, hearts and rainbows, fix-it fic. I'd be embarrassed if I ever knew shame. I don't though, so I would love a story with all the feels. Maybe an extended interlude where they are just happy, or a total AU where Barry goes AWoL and watches Callie in the contest- you can even put Nasty in there. More details at my YT letter. | letter |

| Wildgoosery | Mushishi | Ginko (Mushishi) | Closure for Ginko's arc would be amazing. But just spending more time with him would be lovely, too. | |
| Wildgoosery | The Heat (2013) | Sarah Ashburn, Shannon Mullins | I love that Ashburn is terrible at basically everything outside her job! I love Mullins trying to navigate this fact and making sincere-if-frustrated attempts to be helpful! You could write about them solving a case, you could write about them shopping for groceries...heck, write about their attempts to return the accidentally kidnapped cat! I'M NOT PICKY! I just want them to be friendssssss <3 ALTERNATIVELY: I would love fic for this crossover. It's a dream of mine. A beautiful dream. http://narrativepriorities.tumblr.com/post/57538948747/proposed-crossover-pacific-heat-in-which-officer |

| Wildgoosery | Treasure Planet (2002) | Amelia (Treasure Planet) | he's the best, full stop. I would like a story in which she's ridiculously badass or ruthlessly clever or eloquently sarcastic or all of those things! Go to tooooooooown, just give me BAMF Space Cat Captain. | |
| Winoniel | The Administration - Manna Francis | Keir Warrick, Val Toreth, Frederick Girardin | Prefer: plotty story with crime-solving (think the Selwyn or Kemp cases); character development; slash; I really want the gritty dystopian New London of the book, with the darkness lightened by Toreth's incomprehensible relationship (the one he is not supposed to be capable of) with Warrick. Would really like witty dialogue between Warrick, Girardin, and Toreth (OK, slightly more threatening than witty on Toreth's part)! Would adore some revenge or 'out-of-control' sex. Plot is important: the relationship without the other details of the story isn't as emotionally satisfying to me. I'm not a fan of fluff, but since it's Yuletide, would prefer a happy ending (which could just be a reference at the end to the enduring nature of Toreth/Warrick's relationship--nothing out of character) |
letter |
| Winoniel | Demon's Lexicon - Sarah Rees Brennan | Nicholas "Nick" Ryves | Hnikarr, Alan Ryves, James "Jamie" Crawford | Prefer: plotty story with some danger to be overcome (whether personal or that of the hidden magical world); character development; slash. I'd love to see the developing relationship between Nick and Jamie. It could be platonic or sexual, but really want it to reflect some sort of conflict: Jamie's nature as a magician; Nick's inability to relate totally on a human plane vs. Jamie's need for connection; Nick's destiny or doom as a demon. Alternatively, an angsty love/jealousy/desperate need between the brothers would also be fantastic. Alan wants so much to let Nick have a life freed of his obligations as a demon, but Alan still wants to be important to his younger brother. Plot is important: the relationship without the other details of the story isn't as emotionally satisfying to me. I'm not a fan of fluff, but since it's Yuletide, would prefer a happy ending (at least a resolution of the angst) |
letter |
| Winoniel | Shadow of the Templar - M. Chandler | Nate Waxman, Johnny Pilgrim | Prefer: plotty story with crime-solving (think "White Collar"); character development; slash; I would love something along the lines of White Collar, in which Jeremy and Simon are working on a case, but I'd like a major component to deal with Johnny and Nate developing a relationship (doesn't need to be sexual, although--yummmmmm!). I'd really like to see Johnny's Texas-shoot-first-ask-questions-later physicality negotiate Nate's geekiness, perhaps with help from the rest of the crew. Plot is important: the relationship without the other details of the story isn't as emotionally satisfying to me. |

| Winoniel | Lighthouse Duet - Carol Berg | Osriel Valen (Lighthouse Duet) | Prefer: plotty story with some danger/conflict to be overcome (whether personal, civil war, or that of the Danae world) or a mystery to be solved; character development; slash. Would love the scene in which the Prince tells Valen that he (Osriel) will get his money's worth from his new 'servant.' Though not wanting to commit you to it, if you choose to feature Kol or Julian as a part of your story, that would be a plus! Plot is important: the relationship without the other details of the story isn't as emotionally satisfying to me. |
letter |
| Winoniel | Elementary (TV) | Tobias Gregson, Sherlock Holmes (Elementary TV), Marcus Bell | Prefer: plotty story with crime-solving (think the Long Fuse or Leviathan cases); character development; slash; Would love to see Sherlock with any of the other men, particularly in a sort of battle for detective/relationship dominance, don't care who comes out 'on top'! A good mystery to be solved would be a definite plus! However, the relationship without the other details of the story isn't as emotionally satisfying to me. I'm not a fan of fluff, but since it's Yuletide, would prefer a happy ending (perhaps, a la the series, with a twist or surprise?). |
letter |
| Winoniel | Bottle Shock (2008) | Steven Spurrier, Bo Barrett, Gustavo Brambila | Prefer: Plotty story in which the problems, conflicts, and pressures of wineries are highlighted; character development; slash Would love to see either Bo and Gustavo reconcile their conflicts with a physical component. Alternatively, Steven's enthusiasm for what they're trying to do in their vineyards could spill over to a more personal attraction to either (or both--yummmmmmmm....) An angsty take on the story could be his reevaluation of what he's all about, particularly in light of what the two young men share, or something like that. However, the relationship without plot isn't as emotionally satisfying to me. And of course, a happy ending would be a plus. |

| winterhill | Lawrence of Arabia (1962) | Ali ibn el Kharish, T. E. Lawrence | I would be very happy with Lawrence/Ali ship or friendship fic, or a fic that focussed mainly on either one of them (e.g. what happened to them after the movie ended). I don't mind if it's bittersweet for this canon. Equally, if you'd like to write the weird and wonderful LOA au that you've been dying to write, please do. If you want to do something cracktastic and go in spaaaaace, or dragons, or coffeeshop, go for it (I would prefer no high school AUs, if this is the way you go). | letter |
| winterhill | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | Volatilus (Temeraire) | I really love cheerful little Volly, and I'd like to see something happy or comforting about him. Whether it's about his time with James and how they met, the mail run, his relationship with other dragons, his hero-worship of Temeraire, h/c when he's sick, whatever you can think of, if it's about Volly and has a happy or hopeful ending, I'll be happy. I love how the other dragons don't belittle him, and how James loves him and cares for him even though he's not some brilliant, powerful dragon like Temeraire. | letter |
| winterhill | Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries | Dorothy "Dot" Williams, Hugh Collins | I've requested Dot and Hugh because I've really enjoyed the back-story that we've learned this season about both of them, and the way that both are stepping out of Phryne and Jack's shadows and becoming more and more their own people. I'd love to see one or both of them take charge — maybe Dot has to rescue Hugh, or both of them have to get Phryne and Jack out of a sticky situation. Maybe they solve a mystery entirely on their own? | letter |
| winterhill | Psycho (1960) | This one I can see being dark; character deaths and weirdness won't worry me in this canon. I said "0/any characters” because I really am happy with "any” for this canon. I would prefer no incest for this canon. Some ideas: - Christmas dinner with "mother” - Something about all the taxidermied birds — whether it's stuffing a nice little wren for Christmas, a symbol of Norman or Marion's inability to fly away, or just what the birds have seen in their time in the Bates Motel - Something about Lila during or after the events of the film. Maybe she becomes a detective herself after her experiences? - Mother's point of view of the events of the film - This is one where I think a daemon AU could be interesting if they're your thing — does Norman's daemon change when he becomes Mother? Would Marion's daemon give her away when talking to the cop? Has Norman worked out how to preserve daemons, and so the birds in the study are really the dead daemons of the people he's killed before? |

| wisdomeagle | The Cat Ate My Gymsuit - Paula Danziger | Barbara Finney | I read this book to pieces as a child. I'd love anything about the compromises Ms Finney makes and the ones she's unable to make (for example. Ms Finney is a lesbian or bisexual woman, but chooses to closet about that so that she can continue to teach and share feminist and progressive values with her students -- but any direction you want to take that would be fine). Or anything showing Ms Finney interacting with Marcie (including, but definitely 100% not required, femslash). |

| wisdomeagle | Discworld - Terry Pratchett | Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax | Things I'd love: a witches adventure, with any set of three (or an awkward attempt at a coven of a different size). A headological piece about Granny Weatherwax at any era in her life. Granny acting on her own to do what's Right. Granny acting on her own and not doing what's Right. Granny/Nanny femslash. Granny/Tiffany femslash. Granny trying to wrangle witches who insist on femslashing when they should be focusing on their responsibility. Something darkly humorous. Something straight-up completely ridiculous. Etc. | letter |

These things happen in the book so its fine if your story holds to the canon vibe but please not beyond it. Please no hard kink (scat, bdsm, etc) |

If Cassandra falls into Ma's clutches before the movie (if she replaced the tech guy); Love to see more of Cassandra using her powers Gen, Femslash, Het is all good. Please no graphic noncon/rape; extreme focus on body fluids except for blood |

Alternate Universe where Demon-Jennifer somehow survives and Needy tries to hunt her down Alternate Universe where Needy is slowly being possessed and Jennifer is haunting her |
letter |
| wishfulclicking | The Bridge (TV 2013) | Marco Ruiz (The Bridge US), Sonya Cross (The Bridge US), Hank Wade Fausto Galvan | o many of the relationships are my favorite things in this show. What was it like for Marco growing up with his father and Fausto's father working together? Was he involved and then left? What drove him to decide to work for the law? How do things shift now that he's made that deal with Fausto? How did Sonya's and Hank's first meeting go? What drove him to watch out for her? How does Sonya and Marco progress from where things left off? (A story focusing on them working a case would be great) What happens if Marco goes through with his plans, does Sonya find out? What would he owe Fausto? I am not averse to AUs for this fandom but more of the canon divergent kind, like if Marco had stayed within the cartel and him and Sonya crossed paths, now what? How does this affect his family life? Please no graphic focus on noncon/rape: I know it happens in the show but it is not shown so please stay within the tone of the canon. |

| wtb (winzler) | Cadfael Chronicles - Ellis Peters | Brother Cadfael, Sister Magdalen (Cadfael) | From the letter: Frankly, I don't mind if you decide to write about Olivier instead, or Hugh or Aline, or whoever else was in the tag set; I love them all. But when I reread the books I was taken all over again at what a magnificent surprise Avice of Thornbury turned out to be, and I damn near squeed when I realised she'd become a recurring character. So yeah, I'm a fan of Sister Magdalen and the no-nonsense attitude she shares with Cadfael. I'd love a whiff of a case in your fic but knowing full well how demanding that is in a 1K story (or whatever else you have time for), it's really no requirement. Mostly, really, I'd like to see them exchange views and quips over some clerical or secular matter; maybe even over the lives they had before they joined the order - but honestly take this merely as ideas if you need any. If you have a story you'd like to write, write it. I'd love to see what it is! |

| wtb (winzler) | I pirati della Malesia | The Pirates of Malaysia - Emilio Salgari | Sandokan (I pirati della Malesia), Darma (I pirati della Malesia), Surama (I pirati della Malesia), Yanez de Gomera | From the letter: If we matched on this, damn! You'll be the first person I met through the internet who's read these books. Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing to give our pirates righting wrongs a brand new story. I think there's much to enjoy in Salgari's books, especially considering the time they were written, and what I'd love to read the most is something that focuses on the ladies. Both Darma and Surama held their magnificent own in awful circumstances, grew to be formidable characters in no way secondary to the leading dudes, and I'd love to see their adaptable, rein-taking side explored with the two of them placed front and center. I'm a gen fan but in all honesty, if you want to ditch the guys and go f/f I won't complain at all. |

| wtb (winzler) | Matthew Swift Series - Kate Griffin | Dr Seah (Matthew Swift), Kelly Shiring, Penny Ngwenya, Matthew Swift | From the letter: Another one where I listed several characters but would frankly be OK with anyone, especially if you want to move Matthew and the angels to the side and focus on the women who have to put up with him/them on a nearly daily basis. A session of airing their woes and sharing hilarious or gruesome anecdotes over drinks in a pub would be my deepest wish, but I don't want to hold you back if you have other ideas. I love the banter in these books, I love London (especially the Bloomsbury, City, and Hackney parts, all my old haunts too) and I love the innovative manifestations of the literally urban magic that permeates this world. Anything you can come up with is deeply appreciated. |
letter |
| wtb (winzler) | Despicable Me (Movies) | Edith (Despicable Me), Dr. Nefario | From the letter: Here's one where I do want a specific thing, though (as with all of the above) please don't let that choke you if you'd rather write something else for these films. The reason I listed Dr Nefario and Edith in particular is that I felt she got an unfairly small amount of screen time, especially considering how relevant her scenes were compared to, for example, the falling-for-a-boy subplot that Margo got. Edith is all about the weapons and the fights that make for a good villain, and when you put that together with Nefario's frustrations over Gru's attempts to be good, I can see an amazing partnership forming. I'd be happiest if Gru and Lucy too went back to the path of evil but even so, any story where Edith gets to save the day would make my year. Throw in as many minions as you like! |

| xannish | No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | Nezumi (No. 6), Shion (No. 6) | I've seen the anime and am also familiar with the novels which I believe the manga follows more closely, so whichever variation of the story you want is fine, they're all pretty close. I basically just want more of their relationship which we don't see on screen, though I'm not picky about when it's set. I think they have such a fascinating dynamic, each feeling a deep sense of connection to the other but feeling that the other is a total mystery in many ways. Their relationship is one of discovery and having to face uncomfortable truths about themselves. But that said, I totally admit I am mostly looking for some porn. They're both pretty frustrated with each other a lot of the time (especially Nezumi frustrated with Shion being useless and clueless and yet so fucking observant and insightful, what the fuck) and they're both also pretty violent people, though Nezumi is a lot more overt in his violence. SO if you want to do something kinky or rough, that would make me really happy. There's just a lot to play with here. First time with Nezumi teaching Shion the ropes of sex? Sure! G-rated character relationship fic? Okay! Nezumi being Dominatrix!Eve? Yes please! The one of my kinks (see the letter) that I'm not really into for this is noncon. Not that there would be a lot of resistance on either side. | letter |
| xannish | Xenogears | Bart Fatima, Sigurd Harcourt | I am a terrible person and I totally ship this. Sigurd practically raised Bart for most of his life, and there's both love and distance there. I'm not sure that Bart would even think that it becoming a physical relationship would be all that awkward because come on, it's just Sigurd, right? If you go the sex route, I'm okay with Bart being young in this, but I really don't want it to be forced. A little violence or D/s is okay, but I see anything like that being more of Sigurd keeping Bart in line than wanting to hurt or control him. If you're not into the pseudo-incestuous kind of thing, really just anything with their relationship. If I was going to pick a time frame, I'd say pre-game or early in the game. | letter |
| xannish | Tales of Xillia | Gaius (Tales of Xillia), Wingul | Okay. This one, even the game sort of ships. I would love something taking place pre-game with one or both of these guys. How did Wingul go from hating Gaius to respecting him enough to be his second in command? They were both very young (think teenagers) when they met, even though they were both on the battlefield... what was it like? Alternately (or additionally) I'm always up for some kinky slashfic, and I ship these guys so hard, especially with their power imbalance and Wingul's love/hate thing for Gaius. | letter |
| xannish | Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time | Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time), Link (Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time) | Oh, this. Dirty pleasure if I ever had one. I am endlessly fascinated by the three primary characters in this franchise, and how they are, through reincarnation or whatever, doomed to play out variations of the same story over and over forever. And even if that endless cycle is one of being enemies, that's still a pretty deep connection. Ganondorf has a really deep hatred for Link, partially because he's aghast that this kid can actually hurt him or stop any of his plans, and I think that if Link fell into Ganon's hands, it wouldn't be a pretty sight. Things I am totally into for this: non-con or dub-con, young Link, bdsm, torture, monster sex (either monster-end-boss-Ganon or his minions), pretty much as dark a fic as you want it to get. I am so into it you hvae no idea. | letter |

| xenoglossy | Analogue: A Hate Story/Hate Plus (Visual novel series) | I love these games and I love many of the characters and I would particularly enjoy fic where people get to be happy for once, although really that's probably only possible with *Mute, *Hyun-ae, and the PC. For those three I'd love to see some post-canon fic—after either of the main two routes or the improbable harem ending, whatever you prefer. Maybe dealing with either/both of the AIs adjusting to life in a society that's very different from what they're used to, the fallout from the Mugunghwa mission, either/both of the AIs helping the PC with a new investigation, anything like that. If you wanted to include PC/*Mute/*Hyun-ae or any subset thereof, I would enjoy it, but it's also fine if you would rather keep the AI shenanigans platonic. As for the other characters, mostly I just want glimpses of the parts of their lives that we don't get to see in the handfuls of letter and diary entries scattered across the span of several years. More about Hana and So-jin's relationship during the good times? Court goings-on from Ryu Jae-hwa's perspective and/or her friendship with Hyun-ae? Heo Seo-yeong's early career and how she got to know Old *Mute? And... Oh Eun-a was probably a pretty weird character to request, because she's not exactly likeable. She's certainly not a person I'd ever want to meet, but she's a mass of contradictions that I'm sort of fascinated by and the game never gave me quite as much explanation as I wanted for what made her tick. I mean, she legitimately seems to believe that women would be happier as heterosexually married housewives, and yet she was a university president in a long-term relationship with another woman before she got involved with Chief Councillor Ryu. What happened there? (The fact that she gets a whole paragraph of the letter to herself in no way indicates that I care more about her than the other characters, by the way--just that I feel the most need to justify why I included her at all.) My playthroughs have mostly been with a female PC and that's what I generally prefer if you're going to write a story involving the PC. |

| xenoglossy | Bubblegum Crisis | Sylia Stingray, Priss Asagiri, Sylvie (Bubblegum Crisis), Anri (Bubblegum Crisis) | I got into Bubblegum Crisis just a few months ago, so it's a party I'm about 25 years late to. It's so cheesy in some ways, and yet so compelling. My experience of watching it was something like "Haha, in this episode there are ambiguously lesbian vampire sexbots! And they're banned because of a totally accidental glitch that means they can easily synchronize with superweapons to blow shit up! That's ridiculous! ... and I'm very emotionally invested in them! ... So yes, they're one-off (two-off?) characters that exist mostly to be killed off to fuel Priss's womanpain, but I was quite interested in Sylvie and Anri (and even the rest of their friends who all die in the first few minutes of Episode 5). They seemed like they could be the protagonists of a story of their own--I mean, I feel like there's a whole story there that we only saw tiny bits of, about their captivity and their decision that they were going to get free at any cost and then trying to adjust to life on the outside. So I'm interested in their backstory, or scenes with the two of them set during episode 5, and I'd also love to see what might have happened had one or both of them survived. Would they have ended up helping out the Knight Sabers, or gone off to live as quiet a life as they could somewhere, or what? As far as the Knight Sabers go, Priss and Sylia were definitely the ones that interested me the most. One's a cool, reserved heiress who creates a mercenary/vigilante team to carry out her vendetta against the megacorp that killed her father (and also she may or may not be a robot)! One's a tough-on-the-outside-squishy-on-the-inside scrappy orphan turned biker chick/rock star by night and railgun-toting slayer of rogue androids by... also night! They fight crime! I'd enjoy canon-flavored mission fic for them, or something more character-driven focusing on one or both of them, or... whatever you're interested in writing, really. (I confess I ship Sylvie/Anri and Priss/... all the other nominated characters, but you don't have to do anything with that unless you want to.) |

| xenoglossy | 永遠のフィレーナ | Eien no Filena | Eternal Filena (Video Game) | Filena (Eien no Filena), Lila (Eien no Filena) | Eien no Filena is kind of a weird game, and I wouldn't say it's terribly good, either as a game or in terms of writing, but I totally love it anyway. (I discovered it just slightly too late for Yuletide 2012 and I have been waiting all year to request it, and probably annoying my friends by refusing to shut up about it in the meantime.) It's got your standard "lost heir discovers destiny, goes on quest to reclaim throne" fantasy plot going, but the lost heir is a woman and so are most of the other party members, and one of said party members declares herself the lost heir's wife, and neither of them ever gets anything resembling a male love interest and they're shown at the end side-by-side in the throne room, apparently ruling the kingdom together. Which is a thing that I appreciate very much. So, uh, as you may have guessed, I ship Filena/Lila pretty hard, although the fic doesn't necessarily need to have a romantic focus. I'd love post-canon fic about them trying to rebuild the kingdom and dealing with the challenges that come with that, or them going off on another adventure, or more domestic post-canon fic if you prefer, or a missing scene or scenes during the course of the game that shows something of the development of their relationship, or... anything, really. I know that's not helpful, but I'd pretty much just be thrilled for fic for this game to exist at all. |

| xenoglossy | The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern | Hinata (The Night Circus), Tsukiko (The Night Circus) | Tsukiko was my favorite character in The Night Circus, and the book drops all kinds of interesting hints about her backstory that never get fleshed out. Which is reasonable, because she's not the main character, but it piqued my curiosity. Hinata is basically just a name (and whatever can be inferred from knowing she was willing to sacrifice herself for Tsukiko), but I'd really love some exploration of who she might have been, as well. I'd love any story about their relationship and the competition they were involved in, or stuff about either or both of their childhoods with Prospero and A.H., or anything like that. Or, if you'd rather, I'd also be interested to see an episode (or episodes) from Tsukiko's life between the end of her competition and the start of Celia and Marco's. It seems like she had some adventures in the meantime—travelling around the world, becoming a contortionist, wooing princesses, all that sort of thing. In the interest of full disclosure, I did make a similar request for Femslashex, but (a) no one offered The Night Circus for Femslashex except for me, so it's unlikely to get written, and (b) even if someone did write it for me for another exchange, I would still want more, because there's so much potential here and there's almost no existing fic that I've found. |

| xenoglossy | Steins;Gate | I have both played the game and seen the anime, so I'm fine with whatever continuity you want to work off of in that regard. I have not, however, read any of the many and various spinoff manga, so I'd prefer nothing that relies on knowledge of those. There is pretty much not a single character in Steins;Gate that I don't love (well, maybe not Dr. Nakabachi, but other than that...). They're a bunch of dorks, and I love their weird quirks and their issues and the way that they form these oddball friendships despite themselves. ... and this part of the letter sounds so wacky and then most of my prompts are at least moderately depressing, whoops. But that's kind of how Steins;Gate rolls. I'd be happy just with post-canon Future Gadget Lab shenanigans! But I'm also interested in exploring what might happen when one or all of the non-Okabe characters start regaining memories from the other timelines and how they'd deal with that knowledge. Or if you want to take a look at what might have happened with one of the ultimately non-canon timelines if they'd continued, that might be interesting too. If you go that route, I'm particularly interested in either of the dystopian futures that Suzuha comes from--though I seem to recall that there's a manga covering at least one of them, so that throws a bit of a wrench in that one. |

| xiuxi | Baldur's Gate | Korgan (Baldur's Gate) | I'm thinking gen here, but if you manage to find something or someone to ship Korgan with go ahead. Does Korgan want anything else except material gains? What does his internal monologue sound like? What does he dream about? What does he really think of his party? |
letter |
| xiuxi | Chihayafuru | Komano Tsutomu | Gen preferred, but if you want to explore relationships it's ok. I would like to see Tsutomu step into the limelight and do something great. Maybe he could make class A finally? Or he could win some other important match or do something that would make himself proud. |
letter |
| xiuxi | Fate/Zero | Kotomine Kirei, Gilgamesh (Fate/stay night) | I am interested in reading about any incarnation of their relationship, be it explicit porn or fighting or bantering or plain hanging out. I would love to see them talking about and reacting to mundane things (Does Gil even do mundane things?). I would also love to hear them discuss the nature of evil or the nature of good. Or they could just have sex. |
letter |
| xiuxi | Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | Kyubey | What does a cuddly little shit who doesn't have any emotions do all day? What does he eat for breakfast? Does he watch television? Does he read the newspapers? Has he picked up any particular hobbies during his time on earth? What does he think when he watches the humans, the magical girls and the witches? Does he reflect on things at all? | letter |
| xiuxi | Zeta Gundam | Amuro Ray, Char Aznable | Explicit slash very welcome. All interactions they can have together are otherwise most appreciated. Let them do a mission together or argue over dinner. Have Char laugh at someone and let Amuro angst. Maybe they can debate the usefulness of various mechs or discuss Zabi political history. |

| abamena | October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire | Quentin (Toby Daye), Raj (Toby Daye) | I would love to see some Raj/Quentin dealing with experimentation. Whether it's just kissing or something more, I leave up to you. They're awfully close for being Cait Sidhe and Daoine Sidhe respectively and I'd just like to read something with them being stupid horny teenagers. I'm not crazy about angst, so if you could keep things light, that'd be awesome! No first- or second-person POV please! |
|
| abamena | Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater | Ronan Lynch, Adam Parrish | This is all pretty spoilery for The Dream Thieves, so I hope you've read it already, author! Ronan's Cabeswater's Greywaren, and Adam is pretty intimately linked to Cabeswater. The Greywaren's job is to protect Cabeswater, and since Adam is its eyes and ears, that should include him. Even though Ronan;s already protective of Adam (in his own way), maybe being the Greywaren only makes him moreso. And, of course, the way he feels about Adam would play into that. Basically, all that to say, I'd love to see some Ronan/Adam. It just seems like there's a lot going on under the surface there, maybe a little dark, maybe a little twisted, and probably chock full of angst. But there's got to be some good there, too, right? I'd just love something about their relationship outside of Gansey's influence and involving their respective ties to Cabeswater. No death-fic, dub-con, or non-con, please! Also, no first- or second-person POV. :) |
|
| abamena | Lucky Number Slevin (2006) | Mr. Goodkat, Slevin Kelevra | There's a whole lot of years left unanswered for between the day Goodkat saved Slevin and the day Slevin and Goodkat put the Kansas City Shuffle into play. I'd love some good old fashioned genfic exploring a day in the life of Slevin as he goes from a boy with a watch to a man on a mission. Training. His first kill. Algebra class in Topeka. I'm game for anything. Fill in the blanks! Just no slash, and no first- or second-person POV please! | |
| abamena | The Losers (2010) | Jake Jensen, Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez | Honestly, I'll take just about anything involving these two. How/why did they connect with each other so much more than the other Losers? How is Cougar able to stand Jensen when he so easily gets on everyone else's nerves? But I think the thing I might want to see the most is something about the non-verbal communication between them. However, like I said, I am so down for practically anything else. Except maybe death!fic. Got enough of that in the comics! And no first- or second-person POV please! |
|
| abamena | The Covenant (2006) | Reid Garwin, Tyler Simms | Reid's hands, especially in those fingerless gloves are porn, okay? I would love pretty much any kind of Reid/Tyler revolving around Reid's hands and those gloves. I only ask for no angst, death-fic, dub-con, or non-con, please! Also no first- or second-person POV please! |
|
| abamena | 드림하이 | Dream High | Song Sam-dong, Go Hye-mi | I just really, really need Samdong and Hyemi to be together. That's all. The ending of the show was great, but my shipper heart cries out for more! So I'll take what I can get, so long as they're happy and together. Future fic is fine! I'd rather not too much angst, if you can manage it. No first- or second-person POV please! | |
| Yahtzee | Maisie Dobbs series - Jacqueline Winspear | Maisie Dobbs, Simon Lynch, Richard Stratton, Andrew Dene | As much as I love Maisie's independence, I get awfully curious about all the unspoken details of her love life. I'd be interested in a vignette from her courtship with Simon, some UST for her and Stratton, or especially a look at her romance with Andrew Dene, who seems to have understood her better/been more like her than any of her other beaus, and for precisely this reason recognized her unwillingness to commit sooner than anyone else. I like James Compton, too, so you can write about him as well, if you'd like. Compare and contrast them all - really, honestly, anything about Maisie's love life will be awesome. | letter |
| Yahtzee | Atonement (2007) | Robbie Turner, Cecilia Tallis | I say we only have the information about Robbie and Cecilia's untimely deaths from Bryony, and the one thing we can be canonically certain of is that Bryony is a big fat liar. Can you offer a suggestion about how they might have gone on, after the war, even facing all their many problems? That would be my dream. If not, just giving them a while at that cottage would be good for me. Please as little Bryony as possible. | letter |
| Yahtzee | Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman | Richard Mayhew, Door (Neverwhere) | I'd love any look into the courtship of Richard and Door! Kind of fell in love with these two when I listened to the audio play, so if you wanted to use James McAvoy and Natalie Dormer for visuals, no complaints here. :) | letter |
| Yahtzee | Orphan Black (TV) | Paul Dierden, Sarah Manning, Beth Childs | I'd be really fascinated to get Paul's view of Sarah versus Beth, or -- even better -- Beth's view of Paul versus Sarah's. I really feel like Beth is the silent third party in their relationship all along. Guest starring moments by Felix, Cosima, Allison and the rest very welcome. :D | letter |
| Yahtzee | The Americans (TV 2013) | Elizabeth Jennings, Philip Jennings, Claudia (The Americans), Gregory Thomas | Would be fascinating to see how Claudia and/or Gregory view Elizabeth and Philip's relationship. | letter |

| asaman | The Last Samurai - Helen Dewitt | Ludo (The Last Samurai), Sybilla (The Last Samurai) | My desires in terms of Last Samurai fic are simple: I just want to know what happens to Ludo and/or Sybilla, after the book. Especially Ludo. Who does he end up being, when he grows up? What does he do with his brilliant mind? Hell, what name does he choose to go by? I'd really just love to see something about an older Ludo interacting with the world and the interesting people in it, a sort of extension of the kind of adventures he got up to in the book. I'd also love to know more about Sybilla, whose character arc I thought ended up getting somewhat short shrift. How does her life change as Ludo grows up? Does she enter the world again, academic or otherwise? How does she continue to deal with her depression? |
letter |
| asaman | Lumatere Chronicles - Melina Marchetta | Lirah (Lumatere Chronicles), Gargarin (Lumatere Chronicles), Arjuro (Lumatere Chronicles), Froi (Lumatere Chronicles) | I finished Quintana of Charyn and thought, "So it's time for Lirah of Serker, right?" Sadly, Melina Marchetta does not seem to have any such plans. But that's what Yuletide is for! Not that you need to write a novel. I'd just love anything more about Lirah: her relationship with Gargarin, her relationship with Froi, how she continues to live with and love the tentative family she has managed to cobble together, or how she and Arjuro lay her lost people to rest. I'd love future fic set after Quintana of Charyn or missing scene fic set during Froi of the Exiles or Quintana of Charyn, or even something set pre-Lumatere Chronicles about the growth of her relationship with Gargarin or Lirah's life in Serker. I will be interested in basically any story you can tell about Lirah! I'd just prefer nothing too graphic or violent, though I know that's a large part of Lirah's history. | letter |
| asaman | A Bag of Hammers (2011) | Ben (A Bag of Hammers), Alan (A Bag of Hammers), Kelsey (A Bag of Hammers) | I watched this movie on a whim, but ended up intensely invested in the relationship between Ben and Alan (whether romantic or platonic), and really rooted for them to live out the kidfic of my dreams by adopting Kelsey. I'd love to see more of what happens between when they get Kelsey back and when they send him off to college. I'd particularly love something that focuses on how Ben and Alan's relationship changes (or doesn't change) now that they are raising a kid together. And how exactly did two unrelated guys get custody of a child? That seems ripe for marriage of convenience trope fic. Marriage of convenience or not, I'm actually fine with gen or slash. One of my favorite things about the movie was how you could more or less read Ben and Alan as being either really close friends or an actual couple and have both make total sense in the context of the movie. |
letter |
| asaman | Life (TV) | Dani Reese, Charlie Crews | o I am all about the perfection that is the Dani/Charlie partnership, and want to read basically anything that expands upon that. Gen or het, I don't even care, I just think they are PERFECT together. I love the ways in which they are good for/to each other: how Charlie meticulously respects Dani's boundaries, how Dani offers Charlie the loyalty and trust he lost after being convicted, how they always have each other's backs. I would love to see how/if their partnership changes after the finale. Gen casefic, missing scene, pretending to be married, post-ep for the finale, hurt/comfort...ANYTHING. Anything with Dani and Charlie being Dani and Charlie with each other will make me happy. Again, gen or het are both fine. |
letter |
| ats | Plan B (2009) | Bruno (Plan B), Pablo (Plan B) | i would love a story about what comes after the film's end for their relationship! how do they tell their friends? how does being together as a couple change their dynamic? please also feel free to write their first time together, based on the last scene. (more in my letter.) | letter |
| ats | Dawson's Creek | Pacey Witter, Joey Potter | post-series, please! something about their marvelous lives together and the amazing adventures they go on would be awesome. not a fan of kidfic. (more in my letter.) | letter |
| ats | Misfits | Kelly Bailey, Seth (Misfits) | i just love these two together, so anything about them really. i love how smitten he is, and how she doesn't let him pull any shit. if you want to write about their adventures after they leave london, that would be great, too! (more in my letter.) | letter |
| ats | The Originals (TV) | Elijah Mikaelson, Klaus Mikaelson, Rebekah Mikaelson | basically, historical fic about pseudo-incestuous (or flat-out incestuous) immortal siblings, centering on elijah, is my dream. put them in medieval england or revolutionary france or fin-de-siècle vienna--whatever strikes your fancy! (more in my letter.) | letter |

Even if she knows it's a recipe for disaster. Bear preys that this will be the exception. |
|
| Yellowtaffeta | 화이트 크리스마스 | White Christmas (2011) | Lee Jae Kyu | our prompt should you choose to accept it... I just want to hear how everyone deals with feeling responsible for Chihoon's "death". Especially Jaekyu, Gangmo and Youngjae. A side of how Jaekyu feels guilty for deceiving Muyeol would be cool too bet really, what ever you want is cool. Just, the more Jae Kyu the better :) |
|
| Yellowtaffeta | Kekkaishi | Yukimura Tokine, Sumimura Yoshimori | our prompt should you choose to accept it... Tokine is so sick of candy castles. Just call it cake already Yoshimori. Being sweet is fine but he better give her something real to sink her teeth into soon or Tokine's going to die from the cavities. But she must admit Yoshimori sure is cute when he's being sweet. |
|
| Yellowtaffeta | King of Thorn | Marco Owen, Kasumi Ishiki, Shizuku Ishiki | our prompt should you choose to accept it... Kasumi deals with the perks and prejudices of being a medusa.

| llow_ferrari | Strictly Come Dancing RPF | Robin Windsor (Strictly Come Dancing), Pasha Kovalev (Strictly Come Dancing), James Jordan (Strictly Come Dancing) | Hi, writer! I don't know you yet, but I love you already :) These are the only male tag options for this fandom and I would rejoice if you could write any story featuring any of these or, indeed, any of the male pros. I am really, really not fussy about pairings or ratings, except I don't like non-con, death or violence. Anything else is basically fair game. And I knoowwwww Kevin (Clifton) is not in the tags, but if you could write me Robin/Kevin, I would probably name my firstborn after you. Or at least a pet, since idk if the firstborn will actually ever happen. BUT I WILL NAME *SOMETHING* AFTER YOU. This is absolutely not a requirement though and you are free to write about any and all of the male pros in any combination you choose! I'm really sorry I can't give you more ideas, story-wise, but I will automatically love you for writing me something in this fandom anyway, so don't stress yourself out too much :) Thank you so much in advance! |
letter |
| llow_ferrari | Thursday Next - Jasper Fforde | Thursday Next | Hi, writer! I don't know you yet, but I love you already :) I'll read anything in this fandom, really, but I'd kill for some 'missing years' fic, aka what Thursday's been up to in the long period of her life that we as readers haven't read about. But anything, really. All ships, anything is fair game. No non-canon deaths please, no non-con and no violence. But I will probably send you cookies if you include either Millon or Spike in your fic in any way. Really, *any* way. Either of them just snarking away on the sidelines would be enough for me tbh. But mostly I would love to read about Thursday and her adventures in and out the bookworld in the missing years and also present day. Because middle-aged Thursday is the biggest badass and I love her. Feel free to add any and all canon characters in whatever way you choose, but please make it mainly about Thursday. I'm sure I will love anything you can come up with :) Thank you so much in advance! |
letter |
| llow_ferrari | Grimm (TV) | Nick Burkhardt, Monroe (Grimm) | Hi, writer! I don't know you yet, but I love you already :) I would love anything Nick/Monroe, as fluffy or as sexy as you want. I love their relationship so much and I would love some exploration of how their unusual friendship could maybe lead to more. I am not fussy about ratings really, at all, I just don't like non-canon death, non-con or violence. Anything else is fine. Oh, and no Juliet, please. She can appear in the fic, that's totally fine, but no threesomes or anything. Keep her out of the ship, basically. I love her on the show, but I'm requesting her to not be in this fic romantically, please. Bonus points for a snarky bff that's either Hank or Wu. That's pretty much all the ideas I have at this point, I know it's not much, storywise, but I hope you can think of something. I'm 100% sure I'll love anything you'll write. GO WILD :D Thank you so much in advance! |
letter |
| llow_ferrari | The Newsroom (US TV) | Jim Harper, Neal Sampat, Don Keefer | Hi, writer! I don't know you yet, but I love you already :) I would loooooooove anything and everything Jim/Neal. I am basically not fussed by any ratings or genres, but I do not like non-canon death, non-con or violence. Anything else is fair game! I love these two individually and together, so whether you want to write a ship-y thing or a friendship thing is really up to you, but maaaan, I would really like a ship-y thing. I love how dorky these two both are and how much they genuinely love politics and the news and they have so much more in common than everyone else on this show. I included Don in the tags because I love Don a lot and if he inspires you to write something, anything, either gen or ship-y with any of the other two (omg, or threesome? totally up for that!), that'd be great. I'm sorry that I can't give you more, story-wise, I really am, but I can't think of anything right now. Just go wild. Let your imagination run free. I am 100% sure I will love whatever you write me, because I love these characters so much. Thank you so much in advance! |
letter |
| llow_ferrari | Shelter (2007) | Shaun (Shelter), Zach (Shelter), Gabe (Shelter) | Hi, writer! I don't know you yet, but I love you already :) I would absolutely love everything you could write me for Zach/Shaun, but I would reeaaallllyyyy go wild for a future fic. Like, I would probably send you cookies if you wrote me future fic. Fluffy or sexy (or both!) future fic in which no one dies. No death, non-con or violence. Everything else is pretty much fair game. Massive bonus points for the inclusion of Gabe, which is why I put him in the tags. It's not a must that he pops up, but the supportive brother/bff is such a good character to have in your fic, so I'd be so happy if he showed up in any way, shape or form. I'm really sorry that I can't give you much more, story-wise, but I really would just love something cute and happy-making. I'm 100% sure you'll think of something and it will be great! Thank you so much in advance! |

| Yeomanrand | Sleepy Hollow (TV) | Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow (TV)), August Corbin, Reverend Alfred Knapp | Although I'm normally interested in the women of a given fandom, in this one it's about the men. Show me Ichabod's thoughts on any of the strange things he's encountered since waking up. Slice-of-life for him would probably be quite different than slice-of-life for a modern man, after all. (Not crack, though, please). What's Corbin's story? How did he get mixed up in the Biblical goings-on in Sleepy Hollow? And what about the good Reverend? He, too, appears to have come forward from the past to the future, if Ichabod's memory is in fact photographic. How did he get here? How long has he watched events in Sleepy Hollow, how long has he watched over Death and Ichabod to be sure they continued to rest in peace? |

| Yeomanrand | Twisted Princess (Disney Fanart) | Fa Mulan (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Aurora (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01), Maid Marian (Twisted Disney Princesses - Jeftoon01) | Go as dark as you'd like with any of these. Any at all. Combine them together, use them to twist the fairy-tale (and Disney!) tropes on their heads. | letter |
| Yeomanrand | Werewolf (Party Game) | Villager (Werewolf), Werewolf (Werewolf) | Turn this one on it's head; what if the Wolves are the innocents and the Villagers are trying to kill them for no reason? Or what if a Wolf and a Villager befriend each other? | letter |
| Yeomanrand | Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game) | (As is a recurring theme, here) Take the tropes and turn this one on its head -- a meeting in an Inn? Just a meeting! That dragon accused of eating the villagers? Not what you'd think. Love female leads in a sword and sorcery setting -- warriors, rogues, mages, or clerics! | letter | |
| Yeomanrand | Indiana Jones Series | Marion Ravenwood | how me Marion during her single-mother years! | letter |
| hlee (etothey) | Seafort Saga - David Feintuch | Nicholas Seafort, Edgar Tolliver | Please see Dear Yuletide Author post, but mainly: happy angsty slash! If you feel like hot military action instead/with, that works too! | letter |
| hlee (etothey) | Hataraku Maou-Sama! | The Devil Is a Part-Timer! | Ashiya Shirou | Alciel, Maou Sadao | Satan Jacob | ee Dear Yuletide Author for details, but mainly: either adorable domestic fluffy Satan/Alciel or, alternately, flashback war stories. (I'm personally convinced that Alciel headed logistics.) | letter |
| hlee (etothey) | Zetsuen no Tempest | Blast of Tempest | Fuwa Aika, Fuwa Mahiro, Takigawa Yoshino | ee Dear Yuletide Author for details, but basically: I love this trio, I especially love Aika, but if you want to focus more on the edgy friendship between Mahiro and Yoshino, I consider it completely legit to have Aika appear solely in flashbacks since, you know, dead. | letter |
| hlee (etothey) | Justice League & Justice League Unlimited (Cartoons) | Shayera Hol (Justice League Cartoon) | ee Dear Yuletide Author for details, but: I kind of crave a fast-paced alternate universe adventure for Shayera, whether or not it deals with her betrayal. | letter |
| iankutku | Free! | Matsuoka Gou, Matsuoka Rin | Legal, free source: http://www.crunchyroll.com/free-iwatobi-swim-club I shamelessly ship them, I admit it. I'd love some shippy fic. During the island training camp, maybe? If you aren't down with writing incest, I'd also enjoy seeing more from Gou's perspective, especially concerning how much she was meddling for Rin's sake as far as contacting him about the Iwatobi clubs activities and such.. |
|
| iankutku | Fallout: New Vegas | Craig Boone | There are definitely a few things I'd enjoy seeing. Stoic sniper guy, being stoic, scoping out Cottonwood Cove from the Sniper's Nest? Any kind of backstory, such as Bitter Springs, or other time spent serving the NCR? There isn't a lot of canon information about Carla, so something about his relationship with her and how they ended up in Novac? Basically anything is great, but no Couriers, please. | |
| iankutku | Pacific Rim (2013) RPF | Bugsy (Pacific Rim RPF), Rinko Kikuchi (Pacific Rim RPF) | http://imagetochigau.tumblr.com/post/57682252181/rinko-bugsy-cuteness-overload-7th-aug-2013 Okay, I nominated a stuffed bear because I have a sad, desperate need for fic wherein Rinko Kikuchi goes on a magical Alice in Wonderland-esque adventure with a suddenly sentient teddy bear. Who can dance. The end. |
|
| iankutku | Monster Hunter (Video Games) | All game opening cinematics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NQo38KqgfQ I love Monster Hunter. Absolutely love. I adore the entire universe they've created. Any kind of worldbuilding would be amazing. Even the day to day life of people living in a world where the risk of a giant t-rex that shoots lasers is basically constant is awesome! A story about hunters going out on a hunt could be very cool-- especially if it's any of the more unusual hunts, like Jhen Moran. I also really love the felines! Cute cat antics, ala the Airu Mura game/anime shorts would also be fine by me. |

| Yosituna | Fire and Hemlock - Diana Wynne Jones | Polly Whittacker, Thomas Lynn | I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH. Really any fic exploring Polly's and Tom's relationship, at any stage (friendly or romantic), would be fantastic and entirely welcome. Whether the early "monster-slaying days" or them as adults at the end, I would welcome anything about this pair. | |
| Yosituna | Runaways (Comics) | Chase Stein (Runaways), Victor Mancha (Runaways) | I love all the Runaways to death, but have a certain soft spot for everyone's favorite delinquent Chase. I also have a fondness for the dynamic between him and Victor, so I'd like to see a fic dealing with the two of them interacting (friendly or romantic, if you are thinking more along slash lines). They can be arguing, or bro-ing out, or making out - it's all good with me! | |
| Yosituna | Patternist Series - Octavia E. Butler | Doro (Patternist Series), Anyanwu (Patternist Series) | I find the relationship between Anyanwu and Doro in Wild Seed endlessly fascinating. So I'd really love to see something that explores the dynamic between the two and their constantly shifting balance of/struggle for power (whether it is pairing fic or not is up to you, I would be happy with either pairing or gen). Bonus points if the fic also explores the implications and possibilities of their powers even more the book did. (Note that I actually have only read Wild Seed and part of the book after it, so while I definitely have no problems with references to the later books in the series, I'd like for most of the fic to be set in/deal within the period of WS.) | |
| Yosituna | Last Rune Series - Mark Anthony | Beltan of Calavan, Travis Wilder | Okay, so of the many things I love about this series, I especially love Beltan and the Beltan/Travis pairing. So I'd love something focusing either on Beltan or on that pair, either earlier as friends or later as a couple. Schmoopy is fine, porny is fine, and really just about anything fitting these characters would work for me. Some ideas, in case you need something to spark a fic: - More on the rough time in between Beltan getting seemingly rejected by Travis in The Keep of Fire and their reconciliation. - Fic about Travis and Beltan's early days on Earth in between The Gates of Winter and The Last Stone. Beltan learning how to drive a taxi! The two beginning to work out a sort of long-term romantic relationship with each other! Schmoopy stuff with Travis making chicken soup for a sick Beltan, or vice versa! The possibilities are endless! Why am I using so many exclamation points! - This is totally badwrong, but the whole thing with Beltan and Dakarreth the necromancer was kind of hot in a disturbing way. So doing something with that, especially given that Dakarreth canonically had some form of mind control/mental suggestion on li'l Beltan, could be interesting. (Dakarreth seems like the sort to make the whole brainwashed sleep-killing thing porny too. Also, by li'l Beltan I mean his younger self, not his wang...though a case could be made.) General things that hold true for all of my requests: I like gen, het, slash, and femslash, but am probably a little more fond of slash and then gen. I don't have many squicks, except maybe deathfic or ultra-violence/guro fic in fandoms where they don't really belong. (In fandoms where it does belong, however, like American Horror Story or Digital Devil Saga, I am totally down with it.) |
|
| oujik33 | Royal Tenenbaums (2001) | Chas Tenenbaum, Eli Cash, Richie Tenenbaum | Maybe it's just because Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson play them and they're in so many things together but for some reason I can't get the idea of Chas/Eli out of my mind. They're two sad lonely men who could maybe be a little less lonely together -- whether it's romance, friendship, or something more confusing and desperate. Richie's feelings on their new-found closeness a plus. (Please no Chas/Richie, but I'm fine with background Richie/Margot). | letter |
| oujik33 | Running Wilde | Steve Wilde, Emmy Kadubic, Fa'ad Shaoulian | OT3 anyone? Fa'ad certainly seems attracted to both Steve and Emmy at various points in the series. Maybe they find themselves okay with that. | letter |
| oujik33 | Arrested Development | George Michael Bluth, Paul "P-Hound" Huan | Best friends and college roommates, they have some great scenes in the series (the "peace pizza" is my favorite). I'd love to see more about them -- their initial meeting, or general college hijinks, or something about what Fakeblock did to their friendship. ...and heck, I wouldn't say no to slash about them either. | letter |
| oujik33 | 30 Rock | Devon Banks, J.D. Lutz | Remember that time Devon got engaged to Kathy Geiss and she ended up in charge of NBC as a figurehead while he was really running everything and then he kind of couldn't handle it and had a breakdown and apparently had a lot of random anonymous sex in the park? ....well it was at the end of season 2/beginning of season 3. Lutz is canonically bisexual and a total pushover and I just love the idea of a slightly desperate Devon coming on to him and totally having his way with him. (If you wanted to involve Jonathan in some way I wouldn't mind that either.) | letter |
| oujik33 | Wild ARMs | Rudy Roughknight, Cecilia Adlehyde, Jack Van Burace | ...OT3 again, anyone? Seriously, why can I find no fic of these three? Porn with Rudy in the middle would be my favorite thing ever; something more focused on the emotional side, the three of them realizing how deep their connections to each other really go, would also be awesome. (Please, just don't involve Hanpan in any sex scenes!) | letter |
| oujik33 | Let's Go to Prison (2006) | Barry (Let's go to Prison), Nelson Biederman IV | This movie was way more adorable than I ever would have imagined. I love these guys. Post-movie domestic fluff at the vineyard would be amazing, or anything about how they first fell in love -- the movie gives us hints but leaves most of the details up to the imagination. | letter |

| nitsa | Temeraire - Naomi Novik | Tenzing Tharkay, William Laurence | I would particularly love to see a story set during "Blood of Tyrants", which induced total I-will-go-down-with-this-ship feelings for which I was rather unprepared. Torture! Memory loss! All that journey time to Peking and then Russia, during which all manner of things could have happened! Fill in some of those missing lines for me. If slash isn't your thing, manly bonding and h/c and introspection also very acceptable :) | letter |
| nitsa | Inspector George Gently | George Gently, John Bacchus | Anything about their relationship, how it works and doesn't work, would be awesome - set at any point during the series, or after that terrible cliffhanger if you'd like. I'm on board with slash, though in this case you'd have to do a bit of work to sell me on it. | letter |
| nitsa | Welcome to the Punch (2013) | Max Lewinsky, Jacob Sternwood | I have...mixed feelings about this film, but nemeses-working-together is a totally bulletproof kink of mine. Like the other people requesting this, I'd particularly love to see something postcanon that sees them achieve an equilibrium they can both live with. Even if it takes some sort of sci-fi apocalypse to get there. | letter |
| nitsa | Wolf Hall Series - Hilary Mantel | Jane Seymour (Wolf Hall), Thomas Cromwell (Wolf Hall) | I particularly love Mantel's Jane Seymour, and would love to see more of her, whether interacting with Cromwell or not (he seems to get over whatever he feels for her very quickly in between books - what happened there? is he as over it as he seems?). I'm really open to all possibilities for this fandom, though. Period details would be particularly lovely. | letter |
| nitsa | A Place of Greater Safety - Hilary Mantel | I'd love to see anything, as long as it features some combination of the central characters being snarky and tragic and having Mantel-esque conversations. Camille/Lucile/Danton in any permutation, or Camille and Robespierre, or poor Gabrielle? Some sort of historical or now-with-magic! AU could also be really interesting. | letter | |

| Zaganthi (Caffiends) | Wild Wild West (TV) | Artemus Gordon, James West | I really crave somewhat historically accurate portrayals of their day to day lives in the midst of wacky steam-punk wonderment. I don't need high plot and adventure, just some of those interesting moments that would've occurred in period for them. Slash is great, but so's gen. There's never enough fic for this fandom. | letter |
| Zaganthi (Caffiends) | Lucifer (Comic) | Lucifer Morningstar, Mazikeen, Duma Angel of Silence | I loved the portrayal of Lucifer in Sandman -- but I also love Lucien, Cain and Abel, Duma, Duma's less silent complaining buddy, Mazikeen, etc etc. Lucifer interacting with any of them. I'm easy and just love the world and those characters. Lucifer's machinations are gorgeous and heavy myth is always a win for me. | letter |
| Zaganthi (Caffiends) | Boardwalk Empire | Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky | The New York Gang: A.R., Meyer, Lucky -- Alternate universe, slash, gen, mixed mess, whatever, your dream of what you wish had happened with them, go wild. I love these three characters, and there's so much potential for stories about their interactions and their relationships. Tell me a story that hasn't been told. | letter |
| Zaganthi (Caffiends) | A Study in Emerald - Neil Gaiman | Sebastian Moran (A Study in Emerald), James Moriarty (A Study in Emerald) | The mix of horror, unthinking, incomprehensible horror, mixed in with reality is exciting to me. What other tasks do Moriarty and Moran undertake for the queen? (And what do their personal lives look like as Moriarty continues to align himself with the forces that drive their world?) | letter |
| Zana | The Well-Wishers - Edward Eager | Lydia Green | I would love to see Lydia Green as she grows up. Any sort of futurefic, magic or nonmagic or something in between like the books are. Maybe Lydia trying to make her own brand of magic in this world, now that she's not a kid anymore with the shortcut of a wishing well. I have always shipped her with Dicky, but it's not an easy match: they're both stubborn and abrasive and from very different social classes. Probably she would go to college and he wouldn't, and probably she would travel and be an artist and he would be stuck trying to support his family. They would have a lot of stuff to work out if they were to get together; I'd love to see that played out. |
letter |
| Zana | The Boxcar Children - Gertrude Chandler Warner | Jessie Alden, John Carter (Boxcar Children) | This is another heroine-grows-up request. A lot of Jessie's identity is being mother to her brothers and sister, and I think it would be interesting to see how that changes as they reach adulthood. She has a schoolgirl crush on John Carter, and I'd love a story that explores whether that's something that's just a child's fantasy and how/whether it could work when she's grown up. |
letter |
| Zana | The Black Arrow - Robert Louis Stevenson | Alicia Risingham | I read this book recently -- girls dressing up as boys, it is a thing that I like -- and felt that there really needed to be a Dick Shelton/Joanna Sedley/Alicia Risingham threesome. Alicia flirts with both of them and so clearly loves them, and she got kind of a bum deal getting married off to someone she didn't even know. So my ideal story would be a threesome. A one-shot before her marriage or an ongoing arrangement; also Alicia paired with just Joanna would make me happy. But if threesomes aren't your style or you can't bear to break up Stevenson's OTP, anything that gives Alicia more of a happy ending would be great. Maybe her new husband is awesome! Maybe Richard III liked her cheek and rewarded her for it! The possibilities are endless. | letter |
| Zana | Hustle | Ash Morgan | I would love any sort of story about Ash. If you want to write relationship, I think he pairs well with Stacie -- though she'd have to initiate it because Ash is too professional to do more than look from the sidelines -- and then of course he wouldn't think she'd be interested; Ash is getting old and Stacie has her thing with Mickey, whatever it is, and really he's always believed that Stacie was out of all of their leagues... There would be more than a little insecurity for him to get through! I could also see him paired with Albert or Mickey. I'm not fond of Danny, and the Kennedys are iffy to me, so I'm going to ask you not to pair him with them. (Unless, of course, it is the story of your heart. I'm flexible.) And the this-is-a-little-out-there suggestion: when I watched Law & Corruption (season 3, episode 6), there was the scene where Ghost and Ash met, and they immediately hit it off because there was this professional respect; they're both experts and again, that quiet competence, and I realized that this is what slash goggles are when I started shipping them in my head. So, I'd love to see that play out, or get Ash's thoughts on the way things went down in the episode, or what happened afterwards. |

| zarabithia | Duran Duran | John Taylor (Duran Duran) | o I've been shipping John Taylor with everyone since I first watched the original Duran Duran Behind the Music, but I recently watched the updated Behind the Music and read his book, and wow, I ship everything even harder. I'm especially intrigued with his relationships with Nick (and the repairing that he says they had to do of their friendship in the book) and the fact that he has apparently spent many nights in the LeBon home. The original Behind the Music forever gave me the impression that there is some dislike but grudging respect of Warren on John's behalf, so I'd be up for that ship too. If you don't want to write ship fic, general 80s debauchery or dealing with the lack of 80s debauchery on the reunion tour would be fine. | letter |
| zarabithia | Sweet Valley High - Francine Pascal | Jeffrey French, Aaron Dallas | To be honest, I ship it. I ignore everything that happened after "In Love Again" in the Sweet Valley High books, except for the fact that they made Steven and Aaron gay, which I thought was awesome. But my first OTP was Aaron/Jeffrey. Maybe Aaron discovers his sexuality while he is in therapy for his anger issues, or maybe they end up going to college to play soccer together and go from roomates to more. If you want to write gen, that's cool! I also like Liz/Jeffrey or Olivia/Jeffrey. | letter |
| zarabithia | Food Allergies (Anthropomorfic) | Gluten Soy, Nightshade Vegetables, Dairy | This is my crack request! But oh, this year I have basically discovered that I am allergic to all of these things, and this requires me to be as fanatical about my food choices as I am about fandom, so it totally counts as a fandom to me! Gluten is obviously a supervillain in my mind, though tomatoes and other nightshades may be on the fence between good and evil. In fact, the others may be trying to draw Nightshades into their web. Alternately, Gluten is the Textbook Nice Guy and the others are trying to avoid him but those OT3s that they used to have with Gluten and his other Nice Guy Friend, Sandwich, are really great. Basically, as long as Gluten is the primary antagonist, I will probably chuckle gleefully and slightly bitterly over my rice crackers and fake cheese. | letter |
| zarabithia | She-Ra: Princess Of Power | She-Ra | Princess Adora, He-Man | Prince Adam (She-Ra), Catra (She-Ra) | hips I sail: Adam/Adora, Adora/Catra, Adam/Catra. Ships I don't sail: Adora/SeaHawk, Adam/Teela, Adora/Glimmer. Basically, Adora is my One, True Character and I would love to see her fleshed out more. For gen options, maybe have her adjusting to palace and princess life, either during vacations or after the war has been one on Etheria. For shippy options, I would be okay with either deviant twincest or conflicted enemy relationships between either Adam or Adora and Catra (or between Adam/Adora and Adora/Catra, if you want to write that.) I am really okay with gen or shippy fic in all my prompts, but especially this one. |
letter |
| zarabithia | Push (2009) | Cassie Holmes, Nick Gant | o, I ship it. It hits all of my "you and me against the world" bullet proof kinks. I also just really adore the fact that Nick has a clear amount of respect for her. If you want to write shippy fic, that's awesome! Feel free to age her up to wherever you feel is appropriate, but I personally don't think that two people who are breaking every other law on the planet are going to feel obligated to make sure she is 18, which isn't even the law of consent in every country they are going to be in. If you don't want to write ship fic, that's fine! I would love an expansion of this world and want it means to have powers there. Crossovers are always good. Future fic is always good. (I'm cool if you don't want to ship them, but please don't ship them with anyone else.) | letter |
| zarabithia | Captain America and the Falcon (2004 Comic) | Sam Wilson (Cap and Falcon) | AM. SAM SAM SAM. The degree that I love Sam Wilson should really only be reserved for people who actually exist, but alas. He is pretty much the greatest, and the friendship that he and Cap share is my favorite friendship in all of comics. I do not care if you set your Sam Wilson fic in this comic or in another point in his timeline. Set it during this comic's timeline, during the time that he is babysitting his best friend's other best friend, or at some point in the future, where they all learn that Tony Stark and the Illuminati casually mind-raped Steve Rogers in New Avengers 3. Social Worker Sam is my favorite, so any references to that are also loved. Ships I sail: Sam/Sharon, Sam/Steve, Sam/Bucky, Sam/Sharon/Steve/Bucky, Sam/Leila. | letter |

| Zdenka | The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore (2011) | I know it's not helpful to say "anything," but -- anything exploring the world of this movie in the tone of the original would make me happy. (Please see letter for more details.) | letter | |
| Zdenka | Die Zauberflöte | The Magic Flute - Mozart/Schikaneder | Pamina, Sarastro, Königin der Nacht | Queen of the Night | I love this opera very, very much and there are many aspects of it that I would happily read more about. This year I think I would like something focusing on Pamina. What do the events of the opera look like from her point of view -- the kidnapping by Sarastro, the trials -- or what was her life like growing up? What does the struggle between the Queen and Sarastro look like to her? (Please see letter for more details.) | letter |
| Zebra | Captain Future (Deutsche Anime-Fernsehserie) | Joan Landor, Captain Future, | Lets start with the "oldest” of my requests. It is my oldest in such that of the five requested it's the one I saw first. Captain Future will always be dear to my heart because I opened my eyes to the fact that drawn animation could be something different from one-shot episodes series intended for children I had seen till then. It was the first time I saw rather realistically drawn people in multi-episode story arches. Add to that feeding my long standing fascination with space and science, albeit somewhat shaky in that. My two favorite characters are the two I'm requesting: Captain Future and Joan. I liked his mixture of scientist, adventurer and hero. I liked how he always came up with new doohickeys and found creative ways out, like the time he used telepathy to get Yiek to chew through glass. And while he quite often got Joan turned into a damsel in distress with his "You don't get to come with us” policy, she managed to hold her own, as you'd expect of a secret agent. She was a good shot and pilot, and the one time she broke down and gave the villains what they want, wasn't when she was tortured but when they threatened death on the Captain. So for some optional story ideas, for which the other Captain Future characters are certainly welcome to join as fitting. The German version excludes so many of their scenes together and the big introduction to his backstory, so there's already a wide playing field there. How does Joan find out his name? Does he tell her? Does she do some secret agent snooping of her own? Is his backstory still the same, or did he start out differently? Or maybe something about the asteroid the Captain promised Joan as a retirement plan — including that really "realistic” when his duty is done as a time frame. Or another adventure where they have to save each other from another one who seeks to exploit scientific discovery. Or simply a quiet afternoon on Earth or the Moonbase. Or a not so quiet night and adventures of a more sexual kind? If that strikes, I prefer the gentler, consensual varieties, although you can tie them up if you want, I'm sure there's a helpful rope snake or one the Captain's experiments not quite going as planned around. Do want: Happy End Do like: friendship, romance or more, cultures clashing, light bondage Don't want: excessive violence, non-consensual sex, extreme kinks I have gotten a story for this fandom in a previous exchange, which I happily re-read from time to time, I still want more fic. |

| Zebra | Space Pirate Captain Harlock (Anime 1978) | Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Miime (Space Pirate Captain Harlock - 1978), | Here's my "youngest” fandom. Of course I knew about Harlock peripherally, I even own the Nibelung OVA, but I only watched the original series, hurray for the newly released American DVD set, after seeing the trailers for the new movie. It's kinda sad that I didn't watch it sooner, because it was certainly right up my alley. A story arcching for the complete run without any fillers in between, characters I liked to see, and once again space and an awesome space ship. For this fandom I requested Miime and Harlock. Miime, last of her kind, mouthless and still somehow able to talk and imbibe alcohol. In the beginning she appeared so frail and passive, playing her harp and only appearing in the background, But then her staring episodes came where she managed to save Harlock all on her own and managed to win against the Mazone invading her beleaguered homeworld. And Harlock lets, obviously knowing the strenghtes and weaknesses of his crew well and trusting in them to come out on top. I liked the quiet strength in him, his unrelenting will to follow what he saw as his path. So for some optional story ideas... When he saved her from Jura, was it trust at first sight or took it a bit longer to arrive at that giving my life to you stage? In the end they are off together to shores unknown, him in his usual spot and her for the first time we saw at the helm. Was it really her first time? What adventures are they facing? When they come back will Harlock Home be finished or will the Prime Minister need reminding not to mess with Harlock's ex-crew? Is harping and drinking all they do in Harlock's cabin? We certainly see her there a lot more often than in the small cabin that may or may not be hers, and his size-changing bed often enough is big enough to fit both of them. So do Jurans do it differently from humans?

| Zebra | Man from Atlantis | Elizabeth Merrill, Mark Harris, | The first time I was told about this series, I didn't even know its name. A school mate of mine tried to sell it to me as a sequel to a movie I had just seen. Turned out it was a series in its own right, no connection to my movie and fortunately the prophesied death not happening either. It took many years till I got to see the series again after the first time, many things certainly weren't like had remembered — turns out Elizabeth wasn't actually in the last episode, I'd have sworn she was all being nervous for Mark. But I certainly remember pivotal things, like Schubert being obsessed with Mark and Elizabeth saving Mark in that desert. The first four episodes are my favorites, although I do have both of Warner's DVD sets to complete the series. I requested Mark, because I like fish out of the water, and I liked him in the water, too. The second character I'm requesting is Elizabeth, she's the reason I like the first four movie/episodes better. She got to be more of a scientist and be part of the action, instead of being mostly around as a disbelieving foil to Mark's knowledge about the weird stuff going on underwater. The land is vast and the sea even vaster, I'm sure so are the possible the stories which could surface for this fandom. Mark and Elizabeth going on another quest for the Man from Atlantis' origins? Something more about the time at the army before the foundation and how Mark learns to fit in on land? Elizabeth having to save Mark once again? Or something more sizzling, and I'm not talking about black smokers here. Although and adventure involving black smokers would be interesting, too.

| Zebra | Tokkei Winspector | Special Rescue Police Winspector | Kagawa Ryouma | Fire, | Winspector was another eye-opener, my first real life action suit up series. I think it's also the only one that make directly from Japan and not via the USA like Power Rangers. Many good childhood memories. After seeing the series again last year, I still like Fire working till he's more than less fried by his suit, Junko being all awesome hunting down criminals without a suit and the two robots enthusiastically partaking in humanity in between fighting evil scientists, evil aliens and other evil things. It was rather refreshing and eye-opening to see the robots as, well, just normal "humans”. They were somehow accepted and cheered on by the humans, especially the children. And Winspector never giving up and continuing to fight for the good in the people and the responsible use of science for the good of humanity. And so sparkly while still-being so down to Earth and real-life, for a given value of real-life, one that surprisingly includes giant birds and alien creatures. Anyway, before seeing the series again I mostly remembered it for Fire fryage. So, maybe Fire will get to save the day again, needing some saving of himself afterwards. Or maybe Junko gets to try on the suit. Would that even work? There's also that ending suspiciously looking like a happy day off for the team. What did Junko get up to while the others rode bicycles and broke Flipper machines? She's there on the beach, with the flowers finally blooming.

| Zebra | Drag-On Dragoon | Drakengard | Caim (Drag-On Dragoon), Red Dragon | Angel(us), | I liked Square Enix. I like Dragons. I got Drakengard and didn't regret it at all. The story is refreshingly out of there, the music fittingly mad and the main characters were, erm, likeable doesn't exactly capture it. Given my favorite characters, the first game is my favorite, it simply had more screen time for them and had more endings in which they survived, at least till they left the screen, and I certainly consider any end they survived in reasonable shape as a happy ending. Who cares about the world getting saved when Caim and Red Dragon aren't there to enjoy it. I liked how we basically saw Caim's thoughts only through his actions and Red Drago reacting to his "voice”. And Red Dragon, she was just so, erm, sweet doesn't really fit here either. They are so great together, starting out as reluctant allies and then slowly getting to know each other and growing closer together. The pat on her snout is one of my favorite scenes. So some totally optional possibilities for inspiration: Maybe there's a little episode on how they got closer, he hated dragons and she didn't like humans at the beginning after all and in the end — the first anyway — there's talk about love. Maybe some commiserating and healing after Inuart's attack. Maybe they managed to dodge in the fifth ending. Experimentation gone awry or not gone awry (yes, I was thinking of the naughty kind. *nudge, nudge, wink, wink*) Or maybe just a fluffy Happy End for these two — Happy End for the rest of the world not required. And just because I prefer them to be more more than less whole at the end, doesn't mean I didn't like Drakengard for it's dark and somewhat out of it atmosphere. So everything needn't necessarily be smiles and sunshine. Do want: Happy End Do like: friendship, romance or more, cultures clashing, light bondage Don't want: excessive violence, non-consensual sex, extreme kinks I have gotten a story for this fandom in a previous exchange, which I happily re-read from time to time, I still want more fic. |

| zeen | Design for Living (1933) | Tom Chambers, Gilda Farrell, George Curtis, | I've never seen a movie that was clearly going to end it a threesome. Tom loves George, George loves Tom, and they both love Gilda, and she loves them -- and that cab ride they all take together looks to be a very short one. What happens afterward? Do they make their polyamorous triad work? (YES. I HOPE.) Do they go back to France? What happens to them during WWII? I WANT TO KNOW. I understand that the movie is very different from the play from which it was based. Please feel free to reference the play in any way you want -- I have not yet read the play, but I'm sure I'll have done so by Christmas. |

| zeen | Hadestown (Musical) | Eurydice (Hadestown), Orpheus (Hadestown), Persephone (Hadestown), | Oh, I love this album, so much. I love Eurydice's fragility and her strength, I love Orpheus as this kind of hazy, hard-to-pin down character, who was in some ways more of a shade than Eurydice herself. I really love Hadestown, you guys. (Especially 'Flowers' and 'Doubt Comes In' if anyone wants to know!) And Persephone! Okay, I think Persephone here is decidedly ... ambivalent about her relationship with Hades. If anything, the album made me ship her and Eurydice, like, really hard. Maybe with Orpheus too. This whole album, to me, has a Great Depression-vibe to it, which I love, and would love for you to run with. If you don't want to stick to Hadestown, than what about Orpheus once he leaves? What happens to him? (I mean, before the Maenads and his stubborn refusal to play Freebird.) How does his life-stealing sadness effect those around him? How do other figures in Greek mythology mapped on to Depression-era America look like? |

| zeen | The Charioteer - Mary Renault | Laurie Odell, Bunny (The Charioteer), Ralph Lanyon, Alec Deacon, | Bunny. Where did he come from? What happens to him? Did he go on to invent reality TV and thus bring about the triumph of bad taste into the latter half of the 20th century? ... But in all seriousness, I understand that Bunny is not a sympathetic character -- as Renault describes him, he's a bit of monster, with no redeeming values whatsoever. But even cheerful monsters with no redeemable values whatsoever should have their say. And some some sympathy and insight would go a long way, I think. Maybe Bunny and Laurie encounter each other long after the war ends, and things go as pear-shaped as you would imagine. If you're not in the mood to handle the problem of Bunny, how about Alec? Alec is such a great character -- so able and clear-eyed about other people's problems, and strangely blind to his own! I want to know what happens to him later on in the war. Or maybe a story about his relationship with Ralph. Why didn't they work out? Of course, if you want to write about the further adventures of Ralph and Laurie, I'm all for that as well. What happens to them later in the war -- or afterwards? I'd prefer they still be together, though of course with all the problems they have at the end of the book (Ralph's alcoholism, Laurie's feelings of being almost ... trapped in their relationship?) Don't be afraid to go dark. And one last thing -- (A strange out-of the way prompt that you are under no obligation to try out --) Bridstow Hospital is a centre for secret Cthuloid experiments. Ralph ends up with tentacles in replacement for his missing fingers. Angst occurs. Laurie naively assumes tentacles are just part of the package, as it were. |

| zeen | Isabella and the Pot of Basil - William Holman Hunt | Isabella (Isabella and the Pot of Basil), Lorenzo (Isabella and the Pot of Basil), Isabella's Brothers (Isabella and the Pot of Basil), The Pot of Basil (Isabella and the Pot of Basil), | I think this is a work that you can be very creative with. What does the pot of basil think of Isabella's devotions? And how her salty tears are the only watering it probably gets? That can't be healthy. How about one of her brothers -- does he get suspicious? Does he think the pesto tastes funny? What is Isabella's revenge? (And I would like her to get revenge rather than dying forlorn.) Go as serious or as silly (as any story that makes great use of a severed head *can* be silly) as you want. |

| zeen | Highwayman - The Highwaymen (Song) | The Highwayman (Highwayman), The Sailor (Highwayman), The Dam-Builder (Highwayman), The Starship Captain (Highwayman), | I love this song so much, I would be delighted to get anything for this. Especially about the Highwayman and how much of his personality/memories survive his various reincarnations. Or, alternatively, you can write about how the Dam-builder's last moments went. That part is so very chilling! |
letter |
| zeen | Hamlet - Shakespeare | Hamlet (Shakespeare), Gertrude (Hamlet - Shakespeare), Ophelia (Hamlet - Shakespeare), Horatio (Hamlet - Shakespeare), | I think I would love to see Hamlet and Gertrude's relationship taken apart, however you want to handle that! If you're not feeling Hamlet and Gertrude, then perhaps some Hamlet/Horatio will do the trick? Maybe something of their university days, or what happened to Horatio after the play. Or maybe digging into Ophelia. What are her feelings, her motivations? Does she become another ghost at Elisnore, or can she avoid her fate somehow? I am very open to AU settings for Hamlet. In space, in the twenties, GENDERSWAPPED HAMLET!! Or you know, wherever your heart takes you. To thine own self be true! |

| zeldadestry | The Prestige (2006) | Alfred Borden, | I am very fond of the Borden boys and have always been curious to see them in a contemporary setting! Or perhaps a genderswap of one or both? Or maybe an exploration of how they resolve/navigate (or don't!) the differences and the similarities between them? Thank you, dear author! |
|
| zeldadestry | L.A. Confidential (1997) | Ed Exley, Bud White, | Unexpected tenderness!!! Thank you, dear author! |

| zeldadestry | Nikita (TV 2010) | Nikita (Nikita 2010), Alexandra "Alex" Udinov, | I LURVE these grrrls! And I am very happy when they LURVE (platonic or romantic works for me!) each other. AUs so very welcome, as long as the badassery remains! Thank you, dear author! |

| zephyrprince | Boy Meets World | Shawn Hunter, Cory Matthews, Eric Matthews, | It would make my Christmas and Hanukkah so magical to receive a Boy Meets World slash story. It would, in fact, be very likely to transport my little gay boy heart all the way back to the '90s when I was under the age of ten and thought about these pairings constantly as I watched the show. My real weakness is buddy slash and would love Shawn/Cory but I also have a thing about brothers and would adore Cory/Eric friendship or more. All ratings are acceptable. Tropes that really touch my heart are shame and overcoming it, longing and unrequited love, pre-slash, and loving friendship. | |
| zephyrprince | The Good Wife (TV) | Cary Agos, | My Good Wife crush is Cary Agos. Almost anything focusing on him will make me a very happy camper. I especially like the idea of reading him as gay. Maybe Cary/Will slash or Cary/Peter slash or just Cary-focused fic that makes him queer but doesn't specify an object of affection. I also have this cRaZy idea about making Cary Agos a grown up version of Logan Huntzberger, Matt Czuchry's character from Gilmore Girls. | |
| zephyrprince | Gallifrey (Big Finish Audio) | Romana II, Leela (Doctor Who), | This whole series is so clearly anchored in Romana/Leela femmeslash that it's almost not even subtext but rather just plain text. Bring this out for me! I love a butch/femme pairing and I love when it can be woven into an interesting larger gen-ish story. | |
| zephyrprince | Modern Family (TV) | Mitchell Pritchett, Phil Dunphy, | This show is, oddly enough perhaps, all about pr0n for me. Write me a dirty, dirty story that's either Mitch/Cam or Mitch/Phil. I am super attracted to all three of them. Truly. | |
| zephyrprince | Archer (Cartoon) | Sterling Archer, | Much like with Modern Family but perhaps a little less shockingly, this show is also all about porno for me. Write me a dirty, dirty story - either straight or gay - focused on Sterling. | |
| zephyrprince | The Tomorrow People (1992) | Lisa disappears with no explanation given. Fill this plot hole for me! Ready, set, go! :D | ||

| zlot | Villette - Charlotte Brontë | Lucy Snowe, Ginevra Fanshawe, | Would love some bickery Victorian femslash more than anything on the planet, but would also appreciate some bickery friendship, perhaps from Ginevra's POV. | letter |
| zlot | Kill Your Darlings (2013) | David Kammerer (Kill Your Darlings), Lucien Carr (Kill Your Darlings), William Burroughs (Kill Your Darlings), | I would love something that explores the inner workings of David Kammerer and/or his relationships with Lucien Carr or William Burroughs. Would especially love pre-canon here that fleshes out the bare skeleton the film offers us. | letter |
| zlot | Rod Allbright Alien Adventures - Bruce Coville | Grakker, Flinge "Snout" Iblik, | I'm obsessed with the story Grakker begins to tell in Search for Snout about how he and Snout went from enemies to friends (and, as is barely even subtext as far as I'm concerned, eventual spouses). My dream fic is something that fleshes out and finishes this story, maybe Snout's version? But I'd love anything with these two. They are my utter, utter faves. | letter |
| zlot | Literary RPF | W. H. Auden (Literary RPF), Stephen Spender (Literary RPF), | I'm in love with Stephen Spender and would freak out over anything that explores the inner workings of this six-foot-tall infant and his friendship with Wystan Auden. No but really. You would make a person's life. My life. | letter |
| zlot | Friday's Child - Georgette Heyer | Gilbert Ringwood, Ferdinand Fakenham, Hero Wantage, Anthony "Sherry" Sheringham, | I would love something that focuses on the Gil/Ferdy relationship, maybe with Hero playing matchmaker post-canon in her inimitable way. Alternatively, I would love something that explores Hero's ongoing relationships with her male platonic friends Gil, Ferdy and (optionally, since he's not a nominated character) George post-canon. | letter |
| Zoi no miko (zoi_no_miko) | Flatliners (1990) | Nelson Wright, David Labraccio, | The interactions between these two characters totally made this movie, in my humble opinion. Best friends, friendly competition, maybe more? I love how they both seem to be the only ones who can effect the others stubborn nature. Slash preferred, gen is ok, but please don't pair either up with Rachel. Exploring how they first met or relations pre-movie would be fun, or angsting about relationships post-movie, or even just some fun bromance fic or school friends/rivals fic. Smut and/or PWP welcome, please no het. | letter |
| Zoi no miko (zoi_no_miko) | Acer "Dynamite Cupcakes" Commercial | Kiefer Sutherland (Dynamite Cupcakes), Greg (Dynamite Cupcakes), | Zomg. I never realized how much I wanted this until I saw it nominated. I'd LOVE this to be shippy, but if that's not your thing I'm completely okay with Kiefer being badass as poor Greg chases after him trying to keep things orderly. What a great dynamic in a tiny commercial! | letter |
| Zoi no miko (zoi_no_miko) | Dark City (1998) | John Murdoch, Daniel Schreber, | Hello Yuletide~ it is, once again, That Girl who Always Requests Kiefer Sutherland. I LOVE re-discovering this fandom and these characters through the eyes of a new writer. Please feel free to screw around with canon at will if it suits the creative process, AU is great too, as long as these two characters are in tact, good and in some kind of positive relationship with each other (romance, new-discovered friendship, established friendship, partners-in-crime, straight up hot porn... anything!) <3 Any other characters and pairings from the movie are welcome but not required, but please - no focus on either of these characters in relationships with people other than each other. I'm not a fan of John/Anna-Emma as a couple. |

| Zoi no miko (zoi_no_miko) | Mirrors (2008) | Ben Carson, Larry Byrne, | Can be primarily Ben focused as long as Larry's in there somewhere, I know he's a bit minor. Slash preferred, gen ok too. Minimal to no involvement with Amy Carson if possible. Elaborating on Ben and Larry's background together hinted at in the deleted scenes could be fun, or meeting up if Ben manages to get back to the real world. Smut is love, but no het please. As long as the fic involves Something Good happening in Ben's life that isn't his wife, I will be ecstatic. If that Something Good is Larry, that's even better. XD Back story would be fun - how did he end up shooting the undercover cop? How close were him and Larry? Was there any hurt/comfort when his wife kicked him out? When did they take the picture together that's in Larry's office? Ben is also the only exception to my "no kids" rule, 'cause his kids are so fucking cute. <3 So Ben and Uncle Larry and the kids domestic fluff is totally ok if that's your thing. So yes. Doesn't have to be slash. But I'd love something with them before/during/after the movie. |

| zopyrus | Eurydice or The Devil Henpecked - Henry Fielding | I love the Orpheus myth, which in most retellings is a beautiful, tragic love story! The Devil Henpecked, of course, is also beautiful but...not remotely tragic, haha. There are a ton of places you can go with this story. I'd be interested in an elaboration on the Eurydice/Proserpine relationship (interpreted as friendship or as romance—either is great). I'd also be interested in an exploration of how this hybridized Hell/Hades actually operates! Crossover opportunities seem basically limitless—whether the crossover be with classical mythology, 18th-century opera history, Devil folklore, &c... Finally, Eurydice's backstory! Was she, like her husband, a singer, or does she have a different background? (And how did her husband, as an 18th-century tenor, reach Orpheus levels of fame?!) I picked "Any" rather than requesting both characters, because although I would love to read about their friendship, I wanted to leave you free to go in a worldbuilding/backstory direction with either of them. |

| zopyrus | Demetrio - Pietro Metastasio | What it is: a totally great 18th-century libretto about a queen, Cleonice, who is forced to choose between her heart's desire and what is best for her country. (Her lover's adoptive family subplot is pretty great, too.) Usually in Metastasio's operas, the dithering hero who can't decide between duty and love is a man. I love that it's reversed in this one! I would love any story about Cleonice—backstory, future adventures, or the AU where she tells her advisors to stuff it and refuses to choose any husband. I would also love any story about Alceste, whom I really liked. He and his adoptive father, Fenicio, have this refreshingly genuine, loving relationship (when does that ever happen in historical stuff?)—but at the same time, the way Fenicio treats his biological son is terrible. Backstory about Fenicio and Alceste's childhood, or the fallout of Alceste's revealed identity, after the story is over, would be equally great. Speaking of family history, where are all the other ladies of the court? Do any of the main characters have living mothers, or aunts, or sisters? Finally, if you are a world-building type person and would like to try and figure out when all this nonsense is supposed to be set (Ancient Syria?!), I would be intrigued to see a more "historically accurate” setting of this story. That's only if you think it would be fun, though—I think the story works just fine in Generic Arcadian Fantasyland, too! |

| zopyrus | Nannerl la soeur de Mozart | Mozart's Sister (2010) | Nannerl Mozart, | I would love to read a story that explored Nannerl's relationship with either of her parents, or with the French princess. Or perhaps with an OFC or historical lady? Missing scenes would be beautiful, as would future fic. I don't believe Nannerl's life was really over when she gave up composing, and I'd love to see her in middle age, or as an old woman. A sillier prompt: the alternate ending where Nannerl changes her mind again and magically becomes as famous as her brother!—although I do love the movie's explicit acknowledgement that, because she was refused proper training, forced to learn theory in bits and scraps, sometimes while literally IN DISGUISE, she would never have the skill she might have had. I would also read the fix-it where Nannerl breaks the French princess out of that nunnery and they ride off into the sunset in a rickety carriage, because although I loved the emotional realism of this movie, I also loved the times when it veered into absurd YA fiction territory. The only thing I don't want (in this fandom, anyway): unmitigated angst. The case could be made for it, but I want Nannerl to be happy, even if her story is bittersweet. |

| zopyrus | Greek Mythology | Electra (Greek Mythology), | I would love to read any kind of story that incorporates the fall-out, for Electra, of Clytemnestra's murder--especially if it brings a bit more nuance to their mutual hatred. (In the original stories, their enmity always rings a bit false--like the men writing the plays just assumed Clytemnestra would be a bad mother because she was a bad wife.) I would also love to read about Electra's relationships with any of her siblings--Orestes, Chrysothemis, or Iphigenia. (If you want to run with, uh, Laodice or Iphianassa, that's cool, too!) This is a fandom where I would totally be down with dark-fic, although since there's precedent in some sources for a happier ending, I'd be happy with that as well. In terms of sources, my two favorite Electra plays are Euripides' Orestes (you know, the bizarre, creepy AU where they kill Helen), and Sophocles' Electra. The Orestes/Electra/Pylades relationship in Orestes is so heartbreaking codependent. Orestes and Electra are so devoted to one another, and Pylades tries so hard to protect them both--but just ends up enabling them. Sophocles' Electra is of course quite different! I am fascinated by her relationship with Chrysothemis. They obviously care for one another but can't stop talking past each other, because they've processed their family tragedy in totally different ways. They perform their gender roles very differently as we ll. Electra has so many stereotypically masculine traits, and she strikes me as the kind of woman who would never have fit in—even if she'd had a more normal life. Final, possibly silly prompt: the AU of Iphigenia in Tauris where Orestes and Pylades bring Electra along with them on their heist! (If the Orestes-Iphigenia reunion was touching, how much more so would be a meeting between Iphigenia and Electra?!) |
