Dearest author (or artist or other talented creator),

Thank you for thinking of creating for me! Whether I'm your assignment (sorry/thank you) or you're thinking of treating (oooh yay) or just browsing for ideas (best of luck!): yay. This letter is long but intended to help not hinder - if you have your own idea, please don't feel restrained by any of this past the DNWs and have fun writing whatever sparks creative joy.

Because I am very bad at consistently writing letters, I am hoping to make this a kind of forever letter, and just add new fandoms as I request them in new exchanges. As such, this is a working document and might change at any time, although I'm much more likely to add things than remove. I can't think of anything I've requested in the past that I wouldn't still be thrilled to read more of. More cakes! Anyway, there's some general stuff up top then fandoms in alphabetical order. Please pick and choose whatever works for you, or nothing at all. Write what brings you joy. If you've enjoyed writing it, I will definitely enjoy it too.

The one thing that will guarantee my delight is to explore the characters in their context. In every single one of these fandoms, it is the conflict between these characters and the world they live in that fascinates me, and sometimes the conflict between a modern author/reader and the worldview of characters in that time or place. If you want to lean into any of that then I will dance with joy.

But above all, lovely creator, have fun!

Dearest Trick or Treat author,

(September 20: this letter is still a work in progress, but there's something in each category, even if only a link to past letters! I will try and tidy this up some more in the next couple of days.)

Thank you for thinking of writing for me! Whether I'm your assignment (sorry/thank you!), you're just browsing, or you're thinking of treating: yay. This letter is long, but mostly because I've pulled together and tweaked past requests, which can otherwise be found here on Tumblr or here on Dreamwidth.

There's nothing I've requested in the past that I wouldn't be open to receiving again, and this letter is intended to help not hinder - if you have your own idea, please don't feel restrained by any of this past the DNWs and have fun writing whatever sparks creative joy!

For all my fandoms, I am open to either tricks or treats, and although I've requested specifically fic in my signup, art would be a delightful gift as well.

I sometimes feel mean about the "no out of context AU" in my DNWs but, in every single one of these fandoms, it is the conflict between these characters and the world they live in that fascinates me, and sometimes the conflict between a modern author/reader and the worldview of characters in that time or place. If you want to lean into any of that then I will dance with joy.

Of course, some of these ideas are complex, so bugger the setup. We have a 300 word minimum! Start in the middle, show a vignette, a snapshot, a snippet of any of these possibilities? Tags and summaries are our friends. Few of the prompts lean particularly into the trick/treat conceit, but most of them could be written or subverted one or both ways...

Above all, lovely author/artist, have fun!
