Harry Potter
Helena Ravenclaw (The Grey Lady), Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff
I'd love to see something set during Helena's life that deals with her relationship with her mother, as well as the friendship between Rowena and Helga (and Rowena/Helga romance or romantic tension if that's something that interests you). Bonus points for exploring what the magical world was like in the 10th century -- that was a damn long time ago, longer than I think JKR really considered. Things should have been very different from today. (I'm not a medieval history expert, but I am a language buff, so if you include anything that touches on the languages that would have been spoken in those days, I'll be delighted.)
Jeeves - P.G. Wodehouse
Dahlia Travers
Not unlike Bertie, Dahlia always seem to be in a pickle of some kind, and I think she enjoys the chaos. I would love to see a light, Wodehouse-y story focusing on her -- what mess does she get into and how does she get out of it? Can be any era, even her school days if you like. Feel free to include any other characters and possible romantic entanglements between them, though I'd rather nothing more explicit than would actually appear in canon. I just want to see a complicated near-disaster that somehow turns out all right, preferably because Dahlia figures out how to fix it!
Topsy-Turvy
Jessie Bond, Leonora Braham, Lucy Gilbert, Fanny Ronalds, Miss Sixpence Please
Since this is a nonexistent fandom, I'd be thrilled to get any fic at all for it. But if you were hoping I'd provide ideas...
- I really like the dynamic between Jessie and Leonora. Something exploring that friendship would be good, and I'd enjoy femslash too if you're inclined.
- The real Fanny Ronalds never divorced her husband due to the stigma, but the real Jessie Bond was actually a divorcee (she left her husband after he abused her), and even remarried later in life. I don't think their characters ever interact in the movie, but it might be interesting to see what they'd talk about if they did.
- "Miss Sixpence Please" (or whatever real name you'd like to supply her with) -- I'd love to get into her head and see her take on things. Why did she come to England? Is it what she expected? I realize this prompt could be research-heavy if you're not familiar with Meiji Japan, so don't feel obligated to tackle it unless you're truly enthusiastic to do so.
- I'm a big G&S fan, so if you want to write about the production of any of the plays, rest assured that I will understand and appreciate it. :)
