Dear Writer,

Once again, thank you for writing something for my fandoms! Have a fun Yuletide!

In general
Likes: I really like worldbuilding! I also love stories that feel like another episode or chapter of canon, although exploring the unseen side/further future is also always fun. Format-wise, I do enjoy epistolary stories a lot, especially fake research papers or similar "official documentation." I love crossovers, so feel free to throw some in if you'd like!

DNWs:
Above canon-typical levels of violence/gore
Porn/smut-focused stories
Explicit underage (below-18) sex
Noncanon minor/adult relationships (canon relationships can be brought up, but not focused on) (18-year-olds with 16/17-year-olds are generally fine for me)
Noncanonical noncon (canon events can be referred to, but not focused on)
Incest, including adoptive incest and surprise reveal incest
Pure poetry works

Kamisama no Iutoori
I'm really annoyed that it took me some time to realize there was an actual tag on AO3 for this manga. Despite everything about it, I still love a lot of the characters. I'm actually most interested in worldbuilding and alternate timelines here-I really want to see your ideas of what unseen games might have been played, or what might have happened if different characters ended up advancing during the Rock-Paper-Scissors game.

I also love a lot of the more minor characters, such as Fukumitsu, Susie, Fathma and Mert, and even super-minor characters such as the grocer's kid or the son of the glasses salesmen. I'd love to see you give them more depth! While I do prefer Ushimitsu and Akashi as a protag duo and have selected them in my request, I don't require you to write them if you'd rather do a minor-character focused story!

Crossover-wise, I'd be interested in seeing different casts go through the death games, or an exploration of the Kamisama cast meeting characters from other death games.

Series-specific DNWs:
Relationship-focused stories (by this I mean the story's primary genre shouldn't be romance, though I don't have anything against any particular ships)
Any interpretation of Tenma Yuu as a cis crossdressing male (you don't have to use or mention her at all if you'd prefer, and villainous/asshole characters can misgender her in-story but should be treated as obviously in the wrong)
Setting change AUs (basically anything that puts the characters in a world where the death game doesn't exist. If you want to do a lotus-eater mcahine type story where everything seems normal until someone realizes something is off I'm cool with it, although I'd prefer there be significant story outside the lotus-eater machine part.)

Hamster Princess
Ursula Vernon's books are always fun to read, and this is no exception! I'd love to see you tackle how Harriet handles various existing fairytales that don't have an adaptation yet. Heck, I'd even love to see how you could make a darker story like Bluebeard canon-appropriate!

I'm also somewhat interested in the idea of futurefic. I'm a big queer dork, so I'd love for an older Harriet to get paired up with a female character! Or for a longer timeskip, an older-but-still-active Harriet passing on exaggerated stories of her exploits to her children.

Crossover-wise, I'd be most interested in crossovers with some of Ursula Vernon's other work, such as Digger, Castle Hangnail, or Danny Dragonbreath! I'd also be interested in crossovers with T. Kingfisher's fairy tale adaptations.

Series-specific DNWs:
Major character death (If you want to do a futurefic that takes place far enough that the canon parents would probably be dead of old age, that's fine as long as you don't dwell too much on it)
Anything above PG-13
Harriet being paired with a male character
Unhappy/bittersweet endings
Humanized AUs
Explicit sexual content

John the Balladeer

I randomly found two of the short stories in a larger anthology, and after that went through a brief period of obsession with it. While I'm no longer as obsessed with the series, I would still really love more content. I'd love to lean into future adventures with John and Evadare, maybe even stuff with their children. I'd also love stories about various types of folk magic. I don't really have any specific ideas for crossovers, but anything with fellow musician characters is interesting to me!

Series-specific DNWs:
John and Evadare being paired with anyone other than each other
Unhappy endings
Non-supernatural AUs

The Last Kids on Earth

I've always enjoyed this book series, even as it gets more and more over-the-top. I don't have any particular preferences for this, I just want more content with the main crew. Ship-wise I prefer pairing Jack/June and Dirk/Quint with each other, but you don't have to include any ships if you don't want to! Crossover-wise, I think crossovers with other zombie series or the crew meeting monsters from other canons would be fun!

Series-specific DNWs:
Major character death of non-villains
Spoilers for book 9

Once again I'd like to thank you for writing! I know I'll love whatever you give me!

Thanks,
Gray

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents

This was one of the earlier Discworld books I read, but it's always stuck with me a lot. I'd really like to explore the post-canon nature of the book and how things change in the town with humans and rats living side-by-side, and if it's actually possible for the change to propagate. Cameos from other Discworld characters would be fun too!

Series-specific DNWs:
Major character death (If you want to write futurefic beyond the lifespans of canon characters I'm fine with that)
Relationship-focused stories (by this I mean the story's primary genre shouldn't be romance, though I don't have anything against any particular ships)

Welcome to Mountport

I just managed to watch this episode of Game Changer a few months ago, and it's an absolute delight. I've been replaying the soundtrack multiple times whenever I can because it's that catchy. Anything more in this setting would be great-I would especially love epistolary-focused fics for this. I'd also be cool with fics that take the episode as an actual musical and explore in-universe fan reactions/reviews for it.

Series-specific DNWs:
Ships between any canon characters (Sorry, I just can't really see any of the pairings romantically. OC ships are cool though! And if you're doing an in-universe reaction fic feel free to have in-universe shippers exist.)

Once again, thank you for writing! I know you'll do great!

Thanks,
Gray

World's Strangest Meet Cute

This comic was extremely adorable! I'd love to see some of the offscreen implied scene of the knight talking to the villagers, killing the mayor, and getting the truth, or slice-of-life adventures in the vein of the sequel comic! Perhaps something with the knight's first time staying overnight with the warlock, or warming up to the kids? I'm cool with OC kids as well!

Crossover-wise, it'd be cool to see characters from the artist's other comics pop up! Maybe a prequel where the knight happens upon the Crossroads of Destiny and is led to the village in the first place?

Series-specific DNW:
Major character death (the mayor doesn't count)

Nimona

I found this comic in the library one day and had my heart ripped out at the end. It's such an excellent little story even if the bittersweet ending made me cry. I'd really love to see post-canon fluff with Blackheart and Goldenloin rekindling their relationship, and Blackheart eventually finding Nimona again. Alternately, an AU based on the synopsis for the upcoming movie where Blackheart and Goldenloin are still at school together and have a younger Nimona stumble into their lives.

I don't have any particular crossover ideas for this, but that doesn't mean I'm opposed! Perhaps Nimona finds another child with strange powers and decides to bring them to Blackheart in hopes he can help?

Series-specific DNWs:
Non-magical AUs
Major character death
Unhappy endings

The She-Bear

Now this is an interesting take on the Many-Furs fairytale! Just turn into a fucking bear! I'd really love to see exploration of the prince and princess' married life, especially if the princess can still turn into a bear. Does she still do that? Is it an asset in negotiations or war? Does she let her husband ride around on her back while they run through the woods? I would also love to see a deeper exploration of her relationship with her new mother-in-law, and some hurt/comfort between those two women! Despite my DNW list, this is one case where I'd be fine with discussion of the canonical attempted incest from her father.

A crossover with other fairytales of the Many-Furs genre could be interesting. Whether a darker exploration of parental abuse, or perhaps a slightly funnier one where the other princesses complain about how they wanted to get the power to turn into bears.

Series-specific DNWs:
Any on-screen appearances from the princess' dad
Major character death

Once again, thank you for writing! I know you'll do great!

The Fairyland Series - Catherynne M. Valente
I fell in love with this series from the very first book as a young teen, and I'm so glad that I finally got to finish the main series. This is a series I'd really love worldbuilding for, exploring all the little nooks and crannies of Fairyland our Narrator didn't have time to bring us to. Of course, some plain post-canon fic about September's family adjusting to Fairyland would also be very fun. Or even some prequel fic about how September's aunt got to Fairyland and what she did there.

Crossover-wise, I feel you could throw someone from almost any canon into here and it would be interesting.

Series-specific DNWs:

Craobh-Òir agus Craobh-Airgid | Gold Tree and Silver Tree
A canonically polyamorous fairytale! I've read this so many times that if the webpage was a book it'd be worn out from all the flipping through. I don't have any particular preferences for this, honestly, I'm sure whatever you write will be lovely!

Crossover-wise, I'd be so chuffed if you wrote an AU of your own favorite polyam ship in this fairytale. Don't worry about me not getting it, I've read lots of fairytale AUs for fandoms I don't know and loved them anyways.

Series-specific DNWs:
Noncanonical character death (fairytale-type one-liner "and they lived happily until they died" endings are fine)
Unhappy endings
V-shaped polyamory (the relationship starting out at that stage and slowly developing into a triangle is fine)
No polyamory

The Best Worst Ever Series
Ah, this series. The Herdmans are such delightfully horrid kids but they make really good points sometimes. I've read the first book in this series in multiple languages by now and love it every time. One of these days I need to properly watch the movie.

For this, I'm most interested in content related to the first book, but if you'd prefer to do something more lighthearted with the second book that's fine too. While Imogene is a requested character for me, I don't mind if she's not the main focus of the story. I'd honestly be really interested in seeing the reactions of different characters other than the narrator to the Christmas pageant in the first book. I'd also be pretty interested in a futurefic where we get to see where the older Herdmans have ended up.

Crossover-wise, I'd honestly find it very very funny if you threw in some super-wholesome characters from other children's series and had them bounce off the Herdmans.

Series-specific DNWs:
Major character death
Any explicit sexual content (kids talking about sex as a concept is fine)
Unhappy endings
Spoilers for The Best Halloween Ever

Once again, thanks for writing for me! I'm sure that whatever you write will be excellent!

Thanks,
Gray
