I last did Yuletide in 2016, when I channeled a lot of my post-election angst into writing 2 stories, and then I basically stopped writing fiction for 3 1/2 years. That included defaulting past the no-fault date in 2017 so I've still been needing to write a New Year's Resolution story to be eligible. I finally got unblocked this summer, and I am on track to have an eligibility story posted by the time signups end --
So I have finally started perusing the tags and making a list of my likely requests:
GLOW (the 80s ladies wrestling Netflix series), which I wasn't planning on requesting until its cancellation was announced a few weeks ago, so now there are dangling plot threads I would like addressed!
Tuesday Mooney Talks To Ghosts by Kate Racculia, which is sort of a grownup Westing Game with queer people and magic. I had to add this one to the tags when I nominated it so I was worried no one would request or offer it but some not-me person already has so wheewww. (Not sure what I actually want to request because what I really want is Raven Cycle crossover where Tuesday becomes Blue Sargent's professional mentor and they compare notes about their witchy pasts, cute gay BFFs, and exasperating rich boyfriends, but I'll probably settle for "anything in this universe"
The Diviners series by Libba Bray, which I just finished, and which has a bajillion characters and a lot of historical context so I'll probably do another 'basically anything in this universe' prompt
Crooked Media RPF I got a friend to nominate Jason and Diana Kander, basically just because I find Jason's instagram very soothing and since he's a Crooked Media podcaster it made more sense to nominate him here than 'I'm really into Jason's very soothing instagram.'
Arthuriana (Arthurian Mythology) - this is the "help, my subs are unionizing" request and since Gawain, Lancelot, Kay, and Galahad are all nominated characters, I think I have enough to work with. .
The Tick (2017) -- again, lots of potential for hijinks. Arthur is sort of dating a boat. Maybe I want something from the boat's point of view.
