yuletide!
Dear yuletide writer,
Thanks so much for offering one of these fandoms!
Of course, optional details are optional, and this letter even more so.
But if you'd like more details, here goes.
General likes/dislikes:
I'd love fic of any (mix of) mood(s) and length; it doesn't have to keep to the mood of canon. Slice-of-life fic, casefic, character studies, vignettes, plotty fic -- it's all cool. I do enjoy short fic or fic in which nothing much actually happens, if that helps.
For two of my requested fandoms, I'm interested mainly in gen, but pairingfic is fine too -- though I'm not interested in sex. If we matched on 明星大侦探 RPF, though, then please feel free to write me anything.......... >_>

Individual fandoms
罗小黑战记 | Luó Xiǎo Hēi Zhàn Jì | The Legend of Luo Xiaohei
Character: Luo Xiaohei
I chose Xiaohei because I'm not after Nezha-specific fic (the other characters in the tagset are Nezha and Wuxian), but the fic doesn't need to be particularly Xiaohei-focused; I love the whole cast and the world in general.
Random ideas, if it helps: What it was like to go from a lonely life in cat-form to being among fellow spirits. Missing scenes from his travels with Wuxian during the movie (or their post-movie travels!). Something from the perspective of Fengxi or Luozhu, whether pre- or during or post-movie -- what did Xiaohei's appearance and/or his later choice mean to them? (What did Fengxi's choice mean to Luozhu, and what was life like for Luozhu afterwards?) What did happen to the forest that sprung up around Fengxi -- was it removed, did it become a park, does anyone visit? What does Xiaohei mean to Wuxian?
I love how the Luo Xiaohei movie manages to be by turns gentle and humorous and poignant; its sense of wonder and adventure; the coexistence (and conflicts) of the human and spirit worlds; the sympathy with which both sides are portrayed. Fic that reflects all or any of the above elements would be amazing.
I don't have strong translation preferences for terms such as 妖精 or 领域, so feel free to go with whatever feels right/whatever the subs use.
If it matters: I've watched about half of the animated series (trying to ration it out).

明星大侦探 | Who's the Murderer (TV)
Character: He Jiong
I chose He Jiong because I am a hopeless He Jiong fan, but I love everyone on this show and ensemble fic would be delightful!! I'm also open to various He Jiong ships so please just consider this a chance to write any He Jiong-involving fic that you'd like to write~
Random ideas, if it helps:
- When the show started, it showed a side of He Jiong that viewers hadn't often seen before; did it also hold revelations for He Jiong himself? (Feel free to have those revelations include e.g. a deeper admiration for Sa Beining and a specific sort of 默契 that he hasn't felt before etc. etc.)
- Though the show's tone is lighthearted, there are moments where you can see He Jiong having genuine feelz (that teary-eyed moment in the doll mansion s2 arc gets me every time); something exploring that would be interesting. (There's also Shuangbei potential here, whether in murderer/detective dynamics or eps like the Nirvana in Fire parody)
- Something about how far the cast (or the Shuangbei dynamic specifically) and the show have come from their modest S1 days.
- One of those fics where Shuangbei/the cast end up in one of the show's episode-universes and e.g. have to figure out how to live as popstars (and/or get a chance to change how things go?).
- If you have specific ideas you would like to explore for Shuangbei or other He Jiong ships, PLEASE DO
If we actually matched on this fandom then it's likely that we've interacted before (I keep that twt account v separate from this one, but my Discord icon is the same......) and you can trust that I love all your ideas already ;_;
On the off-chance that someone else out there is interested in WTM RPF, I guess my main caveat is: I'm not a fan of overly 'soft' interpretations of He Jiong, nor characterisations that take his for-the-screen cheerfulness at face value (this clip is a good example of why).
On the even less likely chance that you're interested in He Jiong ships besides Shuangbei: I am slightly uncomfortable with serious fic that ships He Jiong with significantly younger celebs, but lighthearted fic (that doesn't get into industry power differential issues) is cool. There are certainly lots of adorable/suggestive/ship-worthy moments on the show with e.g. Bai or Jackson......
If it matters: I've watched all five seasons of Who's the Murderer, so no worries about spoilers.

Mushishi
Characters: Any
Nominated characters: Ginko, Adashino
Mushishi is the perennial fandom of my heart, and I would love almost anything for it, whether in the vein of canon or more light-hearted. The only nominated characters were Ginko and Adashino; if you offered this hoping to write pairingfic, please do -- the only thing I wouldn't like to receive is porn.
Otherwise, I chose 'Any' in my sign-up and meant it in the widest possible sense; feel free to include characters who weren't nominated, or write something that's pure worldbuilding. Casefic; episode-specific fic; character studies; a scientific treatise on mushi; cyberpunk AU; something from a mushi's point of view; 1,000 words of haiku in which mushi are used as seasonal words. Go wild.
Random ideas, if it helps: Adashino's lifelong fascination with mushi; what it means to care about a world that you can't quite access. The significance of having a place to which one returns, year after year; of visiting someone for reasons unrelated to a case. Five Times Adashino Was Not Conned By Ginko. The parts of Ginko's travelling life that aren't about mushi. (Other non-Ginko-and-Adashino ideas are in my letter.)
What sort of Mushishi fic would you like to write? Casefic? Fic in which no humans appear? A parody of those David Attenborough-narrated documentaries? The story of what happened to [protagonist of random Mushishi chapter] after the mushi was removed? An AU or crossover or fusion? (I'm always in the market for Mushishi/Natsume Yuujinchou crossovers, just saying. Or Mononoke/Mushishi crossovers. Or any Mushishi crossovers.) Please write whatever you'd enjoy, dear author. As long as it's not PWP, I'm sure I'll be thrilled to receive it.
Some other character-specific ideas, if it helps: A look at Kumado's history with Tanyuu, or his current life as a mushishi (or both), or future hijinks with Ginko and/or Tanyuu. Tanyuu writing her own story. Tanyuu as an info broker in a cyberpunk AU.
