A New Way of Giving Holiday Gifts
Every year, I always set out to try to write fan fiction stories as holiday gifts for my friends and family and, every year, normally from improper organization, I never manage to completely succeed. But this year, bwinter is doing something that I thought seemed a wonderful idea; putting of a list of fandoms you can write and asking people to make requests, Yuletide-style, for stories to write. So I'm trying it out. Here are the rules, modified slightly for my own use:
1. Make at least three requests from different fandoms. Optionally, in addition give me characters and/or a setting, a plot, a situation or some other kind of prompt.
2. If there's something you absolutely want (or don't want) to see in your story, tell me.
3. I'll post all stories (some may be ficlets; we'll have to see) by New Year's day.
Fandoms I can write (taken from my offerred fandoms for yuletide, with a couple added):
The 10th Kingdom
Aeschylus
Aida (opera)
Alcina (opera)
Alice in Wonderland/Alice Through the Looking Glass (versions I can write: book, Disney movie, 1996 Hallmark movie, 1998 movie, 1966 movie, 1972 movie)
