Yuletide Letter #2
Yay, Yuletide Time again! I'm so happy to sign up again!
Like I said last year - I'm very open when it comes to what I like and would like to read; cracky stuff is extra awesome though, and I really love silliness bunches! Smut is fun, if you can work it in, of course. The only things I really don't like are incest, underage smut, snuff, rape plots and unequal d/s dynamics.
Fandom name: Blades of Glory (2007)
Characters Requested: Jimmy, Chazz, Katie
Prompts!! I love this goofy movie so very much but I love the characters an their interplay even more.
1: What the hell happens when Jimmy and Chazz land after the movie ends? Was it a hallucination? What even occurred?
2: Brotherly bonding! This could be a missing scene or something that happens after the movie. What does a movie night look like with these two?
3: a Katie/Chazz/Jimmy committed poly situation, and all the weirdness that would entail.
4: Katie and Jimmy getting closer, him proposing or her proposing!
5: Chazz becoming a big brother figure to Katie and Jimmy's offspring, them forming an extended close-knit family since all they have is each other (this would be an ideal way to write Christmas fic for them!) Basically every found family trope ever, please.
6: Chazz and Jimmy's training process for the next World Winter Sports Games.
7: Katie being badass and assertive as an assistant, with Chazz as her biggest advocate on the team.
8: They try another sport. Doesn't even have to be a winter sport. Just try to imaging Chazz and Jimmy synchronized swimming!
9: Katie's view on being part of Jimmy's life, and leaving her biological family behind.
10: Canon AU where Katie starts out as Chazz' coach and they take Jimmy under their wing after his adopted father all but disowns him.
Fandom name: Father Ted
Characters Requested: Ted, Dougal, Mrs. Doyle, Father Hackett
Prompts!! This ridiculous show gives me so much life and if you stay close to its spirit you're sure to please me!
1: Ted and Dougal doing anything together. Maybe they play miniature golf, or they get stuck chaperoning the island's school dance, or they have to do something to keep the parish solvent? I love their dynamic and anything where Dougal's causing a disaster and Ted's greed's causing him problems would please me!
2: Ted discovers modern social media. Imagine them trying to turn themselves into social media stars. Only maybe it happens for Mrs. Doyle instead? Or Father Jack becomes huge on Vine?
3: Mrs. Doyle centric fic! What is going on in her head? Who wouldn't like to know?
4: And what about Jack? Pickled though he often is, he has to have some kind of inner life going on!
5: Little Craggy Island eccentricities. There has to be more beyond stuff like the sheep competition going on on the island...right? Give me some unexplored festival or tradition!
6: They have to deal with some visiting celebrity. Give me parodies of celebrities and dignitaries or their real-life equivalents; just have as much fun with them as you can!
7: A simple event (a journey to a neighboring island - even GASP, Rugged Island?)- goes extremely surreal very quickly.
8: Father Jack's dead. For real this time! So Dougal and Ted try to see to his burial and it doesn't go smoothly.
9: Ted finally escapes Craggy Island - maybe he's talked into it, maybe he's forcibly transferred! Is his new parish the same disaster or is it easier there? Does anyone follow him? And does he end up returning to Craggy Island?
10: Another group vacation.
Fandom name: Mystery Science Theatre 3000
Characters Requested: Pearl, Frank, Joel, Tom
Prompts!! This is one of those fandoms where I wish I could request 'any'. I adore all of these characters but I picked my faves; here's a big bunch of ideas:
1: Pearl pre-show, struggling to raise Clay and going through her multitude of husbands; or after, trying to run Qatar.
2: How did Joel develop a knack for inventions? Did it start with a relative? Did he try to teach the bots how to invent things or did they learn how to replicate themselves all on their own?
3: Frank has to team up with Joel to complete a mission, something silly and simple or something groundbreaking.
4: Tom peruses a singing career! Things turn out as badly or as wonderfully as you imagine it might!
5: What led Frank to involve himself in Clay's quest to take the world over via cheesy movies?
6: And what the heck is second-banana heaven like? The hierarchy is kind of addressed but I'd like some more world building.
7: Pearl and Frank being BFFs, doing anything from some mild world domination to sharing an afternoon meal.
8: Joel takes Frank under his wing and tries to teach him how to be good - well, as close to good as he can get....Or Frank tries to teach Joel the wonders of mild evil!
9: Tom dealing with Joel's being human and, well, aging. That can be as bittersweet as you want it to be.
10: Ensemble fics! Everyone together trying to do absolutely anything, accomplish any goal, save or wreck anything!
Fandom name: Ninja Sex Party (Band):
Characters: Danny, Brian, Arin
(Recycling my post from last year!)
"You're probably thinking to yourself 'Ninja Sex Party you're awesome'. We Know. But Thank you Anyway." A ridiculously wonderful comedy band starring one ninja and one ex-ninja-slash-self-proclaimed-love-god who go about trying to seduce women, fight space battles and sing about their dicks, a lot. Well, Danny sings, Brian just kills people and plays the keyboard. I'm looking for fic about the characters here, versus RPS!
Prompts!!
1: Any super-outlandish adventures with them. The wackiest and yet most in-character thing you can think of!
2: Something meta-tastic. Brian and Danny do Yuletide and are either the toast of the fest or become an object of horror! Brian and Danny try to figure out fanfiction and one of them becomes fannishly passionate?
3: So we know what made Danny decide to go with dance over ninjadom - what set him on the path of trying to become the world's best lover (according to him)?
4: A day in the life of slightly-competent galaxy-and-time-roaming crimefighters, successful or not.
5: Anything based on 6969. Cracky or goofy post-or-mid-video. Maybe Brian and Danny have to do it to save the world? Heck, even go bittersweet with it or uber-serious. Maybe Dan accidentally killed the future by reintroducing sex to it! Maybe the present he comes back to is ruined by what he did in the future? Maybe he feels bad about forgetting Kristen's name? Maybe Brian left his teacup in the future?
6: Arin/Danny or Brian/Danny slash, as stabby and/or ridiculous or PWP-heavy as you want to make it.
7: Anything based on Any of the videos. There are lots to choose from!
8: What's Arin like when he's not chasing after Danny and Brian? What does the SAP DO with its extra time? Maybe there's a reason they're so pro-chastity. I'd like to see if you can make them more sympathetic!
9: Ninja Brian backstory! We don't know anything about him, at least not as much as we know about Danny. What was he like when he was younger? What's he like in his off-hours? What's he like when he's doing something super-mundane? Do some world-building!
10: Brian has a vague idea as to how Brian and Danny met once upon a time (A backstory Dan doesn't even remember writing); what's your take? How did they meet?
Fandom name: Romeo and Juliet - Shakespeare
Characters Requested: Juliet, Romeo, Mercuito
Prompts!! This is a very old favorite of mine, and I've enjoyed it ever since I was in high school. Alternate histories, wild aus, alternate pairings and anything in between is what I'm looking for.
1: Juliet escapes her marriage to Paris, asking Mercuito to help her out. The two of them either become friends or fall in love during the long trip to (general) safety.
2: a Juliet/Romeo/Mercuito triangle, inverted V toward Romeo or not. Everyone tying to get along and cross family lines.
3: Space AUs or Fairy Tale/mythological retellings of the canon.
4: AUs where Juliet is the only one to survive. Five things fics. What if one little thing had changed? What would she be like as an older woman, a mother, a nun, a spinster? And what would change if Mercutio were alive? Would he have gone on to become something or someone different? What of Romeo? Would he have become the head of the household his parents clearly wanted him to be?
5: All three characters (or just one of them) as ghosts haunting Capulets and Montagues.
6: Romeo and Mercutio (or just Romeo) meeting Juliet as a child instead of a teenager.
7: Simple everyday character studies. What DON'T we know about these three?
8: Juliet rises to become a lady warrior and assume control of the Capulet holdings.
9: Would Juliet and Romeo's love have lasted had their marriage been longer? What would bind them together twenty, thirty years after their first blush of passion?
10: Mercutio's wit and wisdom, and his impression of life in Verona.
Fandom name: The Room (2003)
Characters Requested: Denny, Mark, Peter, Johnny.
Prompts!! Oh Hai yulegoat! I hope you like writing crack, eh? Or maybe you could surprise me and give me something super serious in this universe!
1: Every single AU you can think of. I bet you could make the most far-out idea work for this group. Maybe all of them as actual football players! Or reincarnation AUS.
2: Johnny is secretly an alien who learned how to communicate with Earthlings by watching soap operas.
3: Ground Hog Day AU. Denny is stuck reliving the last day of Johnny's life until he can convince Johnny to stay alive and to forgive Mark.
4: Peter's case file on his friends.
5: Crack treated as serious. Everything is deadly serious, and doggie is our overlord.
6: Mark after Johnny's death. Does Denny comes for revenge? Does Mark ever play football again?
7: Why does Peter turn into an entirely different person? Was he replaced? Put in witness protection?
8: Football as a metaphor for the universe!
9: 5 Different pizza toppings for 5 different moments in canon.
10: Johnny tries to de-stress, but it only causes more stress for his friends!
