<lj-cut text="Fashion Star Fillies!">

<b>Fandom</b>: Fashion Star Fillies
<b>Characters</b>:


<OL>
  <LI>Corrinne is "The Charming Princess."</LI><LI>Sarena is the "Talented Artist"</LI><LI>Fallon is "The generous Millionairess."</LI><LI>Janel is "The outrageous Rock Star."</LI>
</OL>


<b>What I like about this fandom</b>: Just figuring out the nature of this fandom alone is the potential! These horses... they're rockstars, artists, country singers, models, royalty! What is their purpose? How are they doing this? In essence, my request is 'SOMEONE DO SOMETHING WITH THIS' about the weirdness of the FSF concept.


<b>Prompts</b>:  

<UL>
  <LI>Are they just celebrities to other horses? Are they in an all-horse world?</LI>
  <LI>Or are they in our world, sharing the tabloids with our celebrities?</LI>
  <LI>They're bright pastel! Aliens? Experiments gone celebrity?</LI>
  <LI>And how appropriate is Country Singer for a horse anyway?</LI>
  <LI>How about 'sassy' teenage horses in leg warmers! All this and more for Fashion Star Fillies!</LI>
  <LI>Can a horse be 'on fleek'?</LI>
  <LI>Is there a feud with the Kardashians? (There's a Kardashian game for facebook nominated, if you wanna do a crossover)</LI>
  <LI>Horse reality show with horse talking trash in front of the camera</LI>
  <LI>Please explain how they can play their instruments</LI>
  <LI>What is horse art like?</LI>
  <LI>Horse product endorsements. 'What's this glue made from, anyway?' (I think they'd make glitter glue. Okay please don't kill them)</LI>
  <LI>Feel free to make horse politicians or other OCS but they have to be super super pastel and have completely 80s names.</LI>
<LI>Epistolary fic! Tabloid articles! Gossip columns!</LI>
</UL>




My childhood one was Janel, so she's an especial favourite of mine.

<lj-cut text="Fight Zine">

b>Fandom</b>: Fight! Zine
<b>Characters</b>:


<OL>
  <LI>Seul</LI>
</OL>

Okay, here's everything that exists about Seul right <a href="http://paulinaganucheau.tumblr.com/post/113933372604/this-is-my-fighter-for-jenn-woodalls-fight">here</a>. Seul was a character in a 'make your own fighting game character' zine! I thought she was pretty cool because her backstory was pretty compelling. Magical girl trapped mid-transformation, dead teammates, like what's going on here? And she's part of a bigger universe where she has a lot of opponents but that doesn't matter as much to me. If you can't get your hands on one of the zines, that's fine. I'm just interested in everything contained in the above link.


<b>Prompts</b>: 

<UL>
  <LI>History</LI>
  <LI>Final battle</LI>
  <LI>Recovery</LI>
  <LI>Universe</LI>
  <LI>Magical girl tropes</LI>
  <LI>Vengeance</LI>
  <LI>Forgiveness of herself or the killers of her friends or the circumstances</LI>
  <LI>Make up a prequel to this picture</LI>
<LI>Epistolary fic! Someone telling her tale. A warning tale written down for others about this doomed soul wandering forever.</LI>
</UL>


That's it! This one is pretty world-buildy, but I hope you were signing on for that when you agreed to write this or saw this in my letter and went 'hey, why not!' 

I ask that you stick to the gore levels of Sailor Moon at most (which got pretty dark, so that's a pretty high bar) if you go there. Thank you!</lj-cut>

<lj-cut text="The Neverending Story by Michael Ende">

<b>Fandom</b>: The Neverending Story by Michael Ende
<b>Characters</b>:


<OL>
  <LI>Any character</LI>
</OL>


<b>What I like about this fandom</b>: The stories contained within. What else did Atreyu do? Did Bastian ever revisit the world? What did Falkor do before he met Atreyu? Who are other people who saw the Childlike Empress for their one time? What about the others who got 'but that is a story for another time'? I want more stories in this wonderful glittering world. 


<b>Prompts</b>:  

<UL>
  <LI>Falkor adventures</LI>
  <LI>Atreyu adventures</LI>
  <LI>Bastian adventures</LI>
  <LI>Childlike Empress adventures</LI>
  <LI>Childlike Empress encounters</LI>
  <LI>Some of the other stories explored</LI>
  <LI>Missing scenes</LI>
  <LI>Other visitors</LI>
  <LI>Is the world always the same for the reader as if we're simply experiencing the book as we read it?</LI>
  <LI>If the book is different for each reader, what would, say, a girl create?</LI>
  <LI>What are other names of the Childlike Empress?</LI>
  <LI>How did she get those names? What adventures led to them?</LI>
  <LI>Atreyu was p. cool not gonna lie.</LI>
<LI>Epistolary fic! What is a tale for another time told by another by letter? A book report on the Neverending Story from someone who experienced it?</LI>
</UL>

I hope that gives you some inspiration! Also, I puppylove (they are so wee) ship Atreyu and Bastian. Little kids with crushes is a cute thing. So if you wanna do something with that, you know, go for it, but that's just a if you wanna thing. </lj-cut>
