meddiSeasons Greetings!
Thank you wonderful person for signing up to Yuletide this year and writing for me. I'm InArduisFidelis on AO3. Feel free to lurk there a bit to see the kinds of things I like reading.
This is my first proper Yuletide so I am definitely looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Below is a list of my general likes and DNWs, as well as some more specific prompts etc for fandoms. Please feel free to use a combination of my prompts and likes together. Or just use the prompts or only use the general likes, whatever works for you.
General likes:
Do no wants:
The Amelia Project (Podcast)
Characters requested: Any
Fandom specific DNWs: Permanent major character death. I'm not particularly interested in anything explicitly shipping Alvina and the interviewer but am happy with them vibing.
I'm only very new to this podcast but am already in love. I adore the premise and the style of humour, as well as the interesting cast. Given episodes are still coming out, please feel free to build off anything interesting that gets released before Yule.
Prompts:
I'm enjoying the current mystery surrounding the staff of The Amelia Project and would love to see your take on their backstories. We already have heard a bit for Joey and Salvatore but I am definitely intrigued by the others, especially The Interviewer and Alvina. I would love to see your headcannons for this.
I also adored the episodes with Percy so would enjoy something that build off those. Feel free to crossover with any fandom that I have bookmarks in on AO3 or just to make up a setting for this.
Also, feel free to create your own episode in the style of the show (that would be rather fun). This includes dragging in characters from other fandoms (anything I have bookmarks in on AO3 would be amazing).
Rusty Quill Gaming (Podcast)
Characters requested: Any
Fandom specific DNWs: I'm not overly interested in explicitly shippy fics but definitely feel free to bring in ambiguous relationships/pre-ship/background ships.
Also, regarding the canon pandemic/quarantine elements of the podcast, I don't have any issue with them.
RQG is probably my favourite fandom at the moment. I completely adore everything that the RQ does. For RQG, the characters, the crew, the world building, the dynamics between the characters, the humour ... all of it is beautiful.
Given the nature of the canon, I am alright with character death, as long as there is a happy (or at least hopeful) ending.
Prompts:
Given all the trauma that Alex keeps putting us through, a fix it fic would be wonderful (eg Grizzop survives in Ancient Rome, Sasha and Grizzop make their saving throws, episode 174 ends happy, any fix it for traumatic events that are sure to be coming up before the end of the year).
Sasha is a particular favourite of mine so maybe something introspective for her (eg her hanging out with gargoyles, a snippet of her time in Ancient Rome). I am still very salty about the fact that there was a Cloak of the Bat just hidden for her so I would also love a fic where she gets that within the present-day timeline.
Given I also adore the dynamics between all the characters, anything that also explores those would be amazing (eg quiet moments between Sasha and Grizzop, Zolf and Wilde during the 18 months etc). Really, I'm sure I'd love anything written for this fandom.
Untitled Goose Game (Video Game)
Characters requested: Goose (Untitled Goose Game)
Fandom specific DNWs: animal cruelty/death (please don't hurt the goose), bestiality, character death
I continue to love chaotic Goose so anything that has Goose getting into trouble is great.
Prompts:
Crossovers for this fandom are always fun. Feel free to include any of the fandoms that I have bookmarks in on AO3 (though please not other fandoms). Maybe Goose is running rampart in the Magnus Archives and terrorising Elias, getting into a prank off with the Weasley twins at Hogwarts, vibing with Jaskier but confusing poor Geralt ... or any other ideas you can come up with.
Alternatively, for non-crossovers, maybe exploring Goose teaching the next generation of geese how to be chaotic, or goose in the big city, or goose with a weird to-do list. Please feel free to add to this.
Young Samurai Series - Chris Bradford
Characters requested: Any
Fandom specific DNWs: -
This fandom is feeling rather lonely at the moment, with only one fic on AO3, so I would love a bit of company. Young Samurai is definitely a nostalgia fandom for me and I always enjoyed the world building and the ongoing plot threads.
Prompts:
Not the most helpful, I know, but I would basically be keen to see anything written for this fandom, so please run wild with it. Given the final book is out now, maybe something post-canon? Or exploring some character dynamics in the downtime between training back in Japan. Maybe a deeper exploration of Jack either adjusting to Japan early on or adjusting back to life in England.
I also rather enjoy darker takes on series where the fic deals with some of the implications of things that canon breezes over, so I would love to see your headcanons for that (eg Jack reacting to the darker sides of the samurai/ninja life).
