Requests lurking in the summary that you're really glad you weren't matched to.

There are canons that I'm overflowing with plotbunnies for. And then there are a couple canons where I really, really need something to go off of for what my recip wants. The request for a canon in the latter category did not have something to go off of.

The fandom was clearly nominated by the person who wanted A/B because only A and B are in the tagset. They posted their letter pretty early.

The other two requests, both of which had unlisted letters that there was no reason they couldn't have linked, only request A and ask for A/C.

People!!! Why do you do this? Nominate C yourself or maybe skip the fandom this time if the tagset didn't work out your way? Anyone who wanted to write for the letter would have risked matching to them smh. I feel bad for people who assumed everyone in the fandom wanted A/B this year and offered it in good faith only to match to...that.

Holy shit, this person:

tornadox

Mark (Moon-Spinners - Stewart)

Mark is gay. It's my head-canon that he was on a date with a cute guy during the robbery. He hides his preferences during the adventure in Greece. Whether he is out of the closet (before and/or after canon), whether other characters know or not, is up to you.

I'd love a story of post-canon Mark back in England trying to rebuild his life. Perhaps Nicola (or any other character from the book or movie)comes for a visit; perhaps Mark is trying to reconnect with an ex-boyfriend. Can be anything from slice-of-life to a completely new adventure. AUs okay. No rating preference.

DNW: Mark as twink, prissy, or fussy stereotype.


This book is a het romance, and almost anyone offering would surely have offered Nicola and Mark (or *maybe* one of the two other nominated friend characters). Nobody could have seen this coming. Technically within the rules, but I'm hella glad I didn't include the offer after all.

The majority of the Venom requests are bad. I don't think it'll get a lot of fic for Yuletide this year and would expect it to be the MFMM of defaults like we had a couple years back. Maybe some ODAO types will use it as a chance to write a popular for Yuletide story but I don't know why they would wait for December to post instead of getting their stuff out there now.

One of the requests where I had offered any and all their prompts were for characters who weren’t nominated and they didn’t have anything for any of the nommed characters and just said do whatever you want. I would have no idea what to do with that because all the unnominated characters and prompts were not something I could have ever done. And apparently they did this with another fandom so I have pity for their author.

all i want from this is some kind of exploration of Mulan's gender identity. i don't have any hard and fast headcanons for you to ruin, i just want a fic that acknowledges that a) Mulan isn't cis and b) Shang is sooo gay for her and c) they are very very queer and happy together. can be modern au or canon compliant or whatever, i don't really care, you choose.

This one.

Spoiled for choice between a) prompt I've seen before and still don't think I could address to my satisfaction and b) prompt I could easily write because I have before, but the requester hasn't kudosed or commented on those fics so they probably aren't into my take on the characters.

Am I reading this right? Like, "DNW the implication that the main characters are just friends?" Because that is a REALLY bold thing to DNW when you've requested any for Father Ted.

Everything about this request.


Request by lmizutani
Fandom:Game Night (2018)


OK with spoilers from the movie if necessary for the story

Although I have not watched the movie, I am what one may call a "Board Game Geek".

Writer can view my board game related activities at Board Game Geek's website (https://boardgamegeek.com/user/lmizutani/). Had played Pathfinder but not Dungeons and Dragons. Can have them play Deception, Murder in Hong Kong (they can look up the game at the Board Game Geek website) or Mysterium as I am familiar with both games and believe (from the movie's IMDB page) if they do not want to do spoilers they can bounce off these games instead using the movie's characters.

The fandom where I nominated the protagonist and the villain because I ship them. No one else seems to have nominated but all the requests are just for protagonist with optional details asking for protagonist/canon love interest. Perfectly legitimate, but I'm glad I unoffered.

I read "Poor Unfortunate Souls", the alternate take on the Little Mermaid was a book that came out this year, and I've wanted to see more in that verse.

That's cool but why didn't you nominate and request that instead of Disney's Little Mermaid.
