graygriffinDear Writer,
Another year, another Yuletide! Thank you so much for writing for one of my fandoms!
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 something like Beauty and the Beast or Little Red Riding Hood. Heck, I'd even love to see how you could make a 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
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
