Trick Or Treat 2017
Hello! Welcome to my ToT letter. I'm sorry it's a little late, I can't seem to get my act together here lately. But I'm always excited for this fun little exchange, so I hope you are too. Below I've tried to give you some suggestions in case you're someone who enjoys prompts, but please don't feel like you have to stick with any of these. I honestly want to read whatever story you want to tell/see whatever scene you want to illustrate. I'll be equally thrilled with fic or art in whatever form you're comfortable.
I always seem to end up with tons of fluff requests for this challenge, which I don't do on purpose, yet here I am again, another year filled with cotton candy. But if you're not a cotton candy person, don't despair! I like tricks as much as treats, I'm just not very good at thinking up prompts for them. I do watch a ton of horror, though, and it's pretty tough to squick me in general, so if you'd rather go dark then this is your blanket permission. I'd prefer no break-ups between pairings I've specifically requested, but other than that, anything is fair game.
You also have blanket permission for any AU you've been dying to explore, or any crossover you want to try but are afraid no one will want it, even if I don't know the other fandom. I'm super easy, is what I'm saying. Any rating is a-okay for any of these fandoms.
Halloweentown
Characters: Any (Fic/Art)
I request this every year because it's the right season and I love these dumb movies so much. Every year I am completely unhelpful and say that I'd love to see literally any part of the universe explored, from any of the films (including the 4th because I am that weirdo) so whatever floats your boat, I am here for it.
Feel free to include any of the nominated characters or none of them. If you'd rather explore the world of Halloweentown itself, I am so down for some worldbuilding. Or if you'd like some specific prompts, click through to my letter and you'll find them there.
I love the world of Halloweentown and I always want to know more about it. (If worldbuilding isn't your thing, that's okay! I love the characters just as much as the setting itself.)
+ Do they celebrate other holidays in Halloweentown? What's that like?
+ What other creatures call Halloweentown home, and what's their day-to-day experience? It seems like the witches run the show. Is there a secret underground rebellion? Or just a club where other creatures get together and bitch about the Cromwells?
+ If you want to explore a ship, I would welcome it and be thrilled. My preferred pairings for this fandom are Marnie/Luke and Dylan/Ethan, but I'm interested in any relationships you want to explore.
+ Surely there's a dark side to Halloweentown lurking. What sort of Eldritch horrors live there?
+ One of my favorite scenes in the first movie is the ghost in the sauna at the gym. Tell me more about him. What does he get up to when he's not being harrassed by meddling baby witches? Does he have a nice cottage or does he rattle around an old abandoned haunted mansion at the edge of town? Does he go to the farmer's market? Does he recycle?
+ Once the portal between worlds is open, do some of the more human-passing Halloweentown residents visit the mortal world more often? Are they hiding in plain sight to scare humans, or do they just really like that one brand of toothpaste they can only find at CVS?
D.E.B.S.
Characters: Any (Fic/Art)
This movie. This movie! It's so dumb and campy and perfect. I love the spy girls and the romance, I love enemies-to-lovers and I firmly believe Lucy and Amy got their happily ever after with Scud as their faithful henchman/DJ.
I'd love to see a little scene from their lives together, either during their week of whirlwind romance or post-canon when they've run off together. For specific prompts, see my letter.
+ So Amy really wanted to go to art school. Does Lucy follow her there? Does she keep up the life of international crime while Amy studies landscapes?
+ Look, I love fluff and I'm not ashamed, so if you also love fluff feel free to bring ALL the fluff. Amy and Lucy's wedding! Is it a gorgeous seaside affair? Do the D.E.B.S. show up? Or do they run away for a private destination wedding?
+ Maybe Amy follows Lucy to the dark side and they become the greatest international criminal duo of all time.
+ What's a day in Scud's life like? Is he exhausted dealing with hormonal girls? How does he adjust to giving up crime? Does he follow Lucy and Amy to Spain for art school?
+ Porn! Porn is also good, if that's your thing.
Cabin In the Woods
Characters: Any (Fic/Art)
Tell me a scary story. Any character from the universe is fine with me, or make up something totally new! I got such a kick out of this canon but I always wish we'd gotten to see more of the creatures that made up the menagerie of horrors.
If you're here for fanart, please feel free to make up any new character to illustrate, or show me something mentioned in the film. There are so many cool creatures and we really never got a decent look at a lot of them.
+ My favorite part of this movie and one I didn't feel like we got to see enough of is the monster menagerie. I'd love to know any of the monsters' origin stories, or even a day in the life of a Cube monster.
+ Some of the best fanworks to come out of this fandom are the ones that explore the mundane behind-the-scenes of Management and the worker bees just trying to get the job of saving the world done. Have you always wondered what the company cafeteria is like? Do they have a holiday party? Who gets drunk every year and embarrasses themselves by broadcasting weird fantasies about the Cube creatures?
+ This is a good fandom for crossovers, if that's your thing. Toss the characters from another fandom in the universe, either as hapless witnesses or the players in the sacrifice.
Wet Hot American Summer
Characters: Ben, McKinley (Fic/Art)
I nominated the original movie because of the way AO3 has the series broken down, but please feel free to write in any part of the universe, pre-, post-, or during canon.
Look, I just really love these two. I'd love literally anything about them at any point in their lives, as long as they aren't broken up. Break-up fic is not my jam. I will put some specific prompts in my letter, but you can do pretty much anything with Ben and McKinley and I will love it.
Confession: I haven't watched the latest series yet, so if I've prompted something that's already been dealt with in canon, it's because I'm behind, not because I'm not paying attention. But please don't worry about spoilers. I don't care about being spoiled.
+ Do you like kid fic? Personally, I can take or leave it. But you know what I do love? Deciding to have kids fic. What was that decision process like for Ben and McKinley?
+ Coming home from summer camp married to your same-sex boyfriend would have been a huge deal in the 80s. Was there fallout? Is it angsty?
+ If you want to write future fic, I'd love to know what they do when same sex marriage is legalized. Do they have another wedding or go to the JP to make things legal? Do they make a huge deal out of it even though they've been married for decades and embarrass the hell out of the kids? Does anyone from camp show up?
The Good Place
Characters: Any (Fic/Art)
Just tell me more about this universe. What's the *actual* Good Place like? Or maybe a day in the life of the fake Good Place. Or a day in the Bad Place! Not for nothing, but the hipster demons seemed like they might be kind of fun to hang out with for a little while, at least.
For specific prompts please see my letter, or just ignore it and show me whatever you like best about this world.
I promised you some specific prompts in my letter, but honestly with this fandom I just want to shout TELL ME EVERYTHING. This is such a fun universe and it left off at such a pivotal point in the plot, so really the possibilities are endless. I'm equally interested in all relationships or potential relationships, so if there's a pairing you want to explore, that's cool with me.
+ Is Fake Eleanor going to hook up with Trevor? Probably, right? She'd totally hook up with a demon.
+ Is Chidi ever going to finish his dissertation? Or find a soulmate who doesn't suck?
+ Is Tahani ever going to have a truly nice day? Is it going to involve hooking up with Eleanor?
+ I'm really interested in the In-Between Place and I wish we'd seen more of it. Is there anyone else there? Was that all faked to get Eleanor and Jason out of the way? Are there more people in exile around the afterlife? What's going on with them?
