megkipsDear writer,
Hi! I hope that we have matched on something that you’re genuinely enthusiastic about, and that this letter provides some useful prompt ideas. My goal in writing them is that they can double for fic and for art (I am OK with both!) but please let me know if you need art prompts refined at all.
In general, I gravitate towards gen that heavily feature world building, close friendships, and mythology. I'm a big fan of giving everyone a tricky situation to navigate their way out of with a combination of smarts and force, and I like playing around with how a piece is told. If you enjoy writing epistolary fic, scrapbook stories, and similar formats, then please go absolutely wild. I love those formats.
In terms of do not wants here, I'd like to request no smut, no AUs, and no porn. Canonical level violence, sexuality, etc. is perfectly fine. Please do not include unrequested ships.
By and large, I've tried to offer both trick and treat options below, and have tried to specify my preferences where they exist. If you get stumped, but think you have something that might fit the idea of what I’m after but not match up to the request exactly, then by all means, please write it.
Lockwood and Company by Jonathan Stroud
Anthony Lockwood, Lucy Carlyle
Trick or treat! I'm perfectly fine with trick or treat for Lockwood and Company, as it fits the tone of canon best. I am most interested in seeing what happens a year or two later after events in canon have concluded, as doubtlessly the changes that London and the whole of England must go through with the Problem. If you go with this track, I invite you to include all other members of canon you see fit.
I would also be happy to just recieve case fic of Lockwood and Company's other adventures, as there are doubtlessly many more that I am not privy to.
Shipping note: I am personally not invested in fic that delves exclusively into relationships, but I have zero problem if you wish to include details about Anthony and Lucy being romantically involved, especially if it looks at how that has changed their work dynamic.
Fate/stay night
Rin, Shirou
Trick With Rin and Shirou, I am mostly interested about the time they have spent at Clock Tower. We know, from the final FSN anime episode, that there are endless shenanigans, but I would love to see something more danger-filled. Do assignments send them out dealing with the supernatural in London? What kind of stakes do they face? Is Luvia just going to drive them insane? What do they do on Bonfire Night? Tell me more, and make it spooky, please!
Penny Dreadful
Alexander Sweet | Dracula, Mina Harker
Trick or Treat: Re-watching Penny Dreadful has reminded me that the persona of Alexander Sweet is so...well lived in, I'd love to know how Dracula created it. How did he swing a job working at the Natural History Museum as a taxidermist? What other strange jobs has he worked over the centuries, and are the things he does just work, or genuine interests?
If you want to just explore Drac, feel free. But bringing Mina into the mix, I want to know more about their relationship during the events of season 1. Are there any elements from the actual novel at play? Tell me about Mina's relationship with this bloodsucker.
