minutia_rDear Fic Corner Scribbler,
Hello, there lovely person who is going to write a story in one of the fandoms I requested! Thank you so much, you are clearly awesome.
Please do not hesitate to ruin my childhood! (Actually I read most of these books for the first time as an adult; I just like kids’ books, okay.) I am also a dedicated multishipper, so if you want to include a pairing that I haven’t specifically asked for, it’ll be fine. I am not so keen on underage, though, so for the canons that have child characters I’d prefer if you aged them up if they are going to be doing anything more than holding hands and chaste kissing?
(Or you could write gen. I am totally cool with gen.)
I love crossovers, fusions, and canon-divergence AUs, but I don’t like mundane AUs of fantastical canons.
Okay, on to the prompts!
Darkangel Trilogy - Meredith Ann Pierce
Irrylath, Erin, Roshka, Sabr
There are all sorts of hints about interesting stories happening when Aeriel’s not around--I’d like to see one of those. (Which is not to say that you can’t include Aeriel; I like her a lot.) What adventures did Sabr and Irrylath have during A Gathering of Gargoyles? What happened to Roshka and Erin after Aeriel left them? How did Erin’s first encounter with the people she was born to go?
Alternatively, if you’d like to write future fic, I’d love to see how an OT4 with Aeriel, Erin, Roshka and Irrylath would work. I’d also be interested in reading about Irrylath and Sabr (and possibly the Avarclon and Talb?) rebuilding Avaric--although I’d prefer gen there, since I’m not completely sold on Irrylath/Sabr.
The Dunderheads Series - Paul Fleischman
Any Character(s)
I’d really love to see casefic for this--some other criminal or semi-criminal caper that the kids pull off. Or else, where do their unique talents take them later in life? (Any or all of the kids--I nominated the five I did because I only got five slots, but if you want to write a story focussing on grown-up Spider, for instance, that would be peachy keen with me.) I kind of ship Einstein and Hollywood, and would be interested in reading how the somewhat skewed ideas about romance she’s picked up from movies collide with his unconventional approach to problem solving and how both of those things collide with the reality of them being kids trying this out for the first time before they’re quite ready for it. (Whether “this” is grade-school romance or sex or the whole marriage-and-kids-and-building-a-life-together would depend on what stage of their lives you choose to set it.)
Or else, it was established in the second book that Hollywood is in online fandom (though not necessarily fic-writing fandom). So write me a fandom not-actually-AU--can the other kids help her in her quest to become a BNF?
The Game - Diana Wynne Jones
Sisyphus, Merope, Hayley, Troy
I’d love to see how Sisyphus, Merope, and Hayley negotiate being a family after the events of the book. Something exploring Hayley’s multiple nature as a more-or-less ordinary young girl, a thousands-of-years-old titaness, and a comet would be really cool--I’d love to see her interact with the luminaries from Dogsbody in that last capacity. Also, Troy is just cool, okay. Tell me how Troy built Troy! Or any of his adventures over the millennia.
Super-Extra-Optional Details: As I’ve mentioned, I’m interested in crossovers in general, and if you happen to be familiar with both Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus and The Game, I would be absolutely thrilled to get a crossover of those. I realize the universes would need a bit of tweaking in order to align--for one thing Kronos from Percy Jackson would have to be the same character as Hayley’s Granddad--but if you could make it work how awesome would it be to see the heroes from both series on opposite sides of a war? Imagine the build-off between Annabeth and Troy! Hayley keeping one or more of Hades’ children prisoner (turnabout being fair play and all). Or even just an interlude between Hayley and Zoe--they’re both children of Titans, one’s a comet and the other’s a constellation; I’m sure they’d find something to talk about.
Schooled - Gordon Korman
Zach Powers, Hugh Winkleman, Darryl Pennyfield
Hugh and Zach are such devious little weasels; they totally deserve each other. I will happily read anything about them. My ideal Zach/Hugh story would be one where they're secret boyfriends until a Korman-style katamari of wackiness forces them to a) come out and b) admit they actually like each other, and are not just together because it's easier than anything else. Also, Darryl is adorable and his crush on Cap is adorable; write me Darryl pining for Cap (or even getting Cap!) and I will be a happy camper. Alternatively, I’d be interested in reading about Darryl’s relationship with Zach--how did it start, and how much genuine friendship did Zach ever have for Darryl, other than Zach wanting a minion and Darryl being insecure? How does Darryl move on without Zach as his best friend after the events of the book, or do they manage to rebuild their friendship on a more equal basis? (I would not mind Darryl/Zach either, come to that.)
If for some reason you want to stalk me, I am dead easy to stalk; I'm minutia_r (or occasionally minutia-r) all over the internet: LJ/DW, AO3, tumblr, deviantart, ff.net, and probably one or two other places I don't recall off-hand.
Anyway! Once again, thank you and I hope you get something wonderful for fic corner!
