Requests
In alphabetical order.
Freddy & Monstrene - Dennis Jürgensen
Freddy
I'd love a story about Freddy as a grown-up - possibly having finally convinced himself/been convinced that no, he didn't run around with a bunch of monsters as a boy - reencountering the gang. Though truth be told, I'll love you to bits for almost anything in this fandom.
This is a repeat request, because I hold out hope that some year somebody will wander by, know Danish and want to write me fanfic about a set of silly children's novels from the 80s, about an 11-year-old horror fanboy making friends with a bunch of monster straight out of the Hammer horror films and having weird adventures with them. (Which is why this request is just a copy-paste from last year.)
I loved these books as a kid. I must have read them 20 times or something. But the implications of the ending saddens me - the monsters have gone off to live in Transylvania and Freddy is an 11-year-old boy left in a mundane world that already views his Hammer horror fanboyishness as something odd, and he has nothing except a couple of tiny newspaper articles to prove that anything happened. And he's 11 - even if he doesn't end up saying the wrong thing and spending the next decade in therapy (because what's more realistic - a kid getting molested by a teacher at camp or a kid flying away to China on a burping dragon with Dracula for company and meeting the Yeti?) I imagine his childhood adventures will just - fade. And then he meets the monsters again...
If that story idea doesn't catch you, dear Yulegoat, I do really mean it when I say I'll love to bits almost anything. It's a nostalgia fandom for me, this one. I quite enjoyed Dracula and Eddie the werewolf always being snarky and Sir Arthur being sensible - basically the chosen family dynamics of the monsters. Or you could write me a crossover with Krøniker fra Kvæhl (the original version, not whatever Jürgensen changed in the new editions with the wrong, wrong, wrong cover art - sorry, that went off on a tangent) - maybe Freddy meet Arnold and Catharina during that aforementioned therapy? Or maybe a missing story set before the last of the novels, giving us the backstory of Eddie, perhaps - why is the rock'n'roll loving werewolf not running with a pack of bloodthirsty feral beasts, or Sir Arthur (a visit to a nice haunted castle on a gloomy moor?), or... basically, anything. Go for it.
The Jander Sunstar short stories - Christie Golden
Jander Sunstar, Oakbrother Endris
So, I might have read the short story Endris appears in, "The Quiet Place", when I was a teenager fresh off the Vampire Chronicles train and with a pair of slash goggles, so - I would like something shippy between the good vampire and the nice cleric? Perhaps an AU where Jander doesn't run away at the end of the story or comes back? How does Endris deal with his friend the nice elf turning out to be a bloodthirsthy undead monster? Inquiring minds wants to know.
Canon-specific DNW: Anything Jander Sunstar-related drawing on so-called canon sources not written by Christie Golden.
"Vampire of the Mists" was one of the first novels I read in English, back as a teenager hungrily devouring every fantasy book my local library had on the shelves (I'm fairly certain the first was Pratchett's "Reaper Man"), and yeah, Jander Sunstar the elf impossibly turned vampire and yet still a good, if extremely conflicted person. I enjoyed the novel and happily my library also had the three short story collections that included the pre-novel short stories. And I was a tiny teenage slash fangirl and yeah, "The Quiet Place" read to me as "this could have gone somewhere."
If you just aren't feeling anything involving dear Oakbrother Endris, well - I'd love other stories involving Jander's un-life on Faerûn, eiher fitting into the story where he ends up in Ravenloft eventually or going canon-divergent AU as you please. Maybe an encounter between him and one of the other does not quite fit the moral mold of the rulebook elves in that setting? I'm both quite fond of Elaith Craulnober and Drizzt Do'Urden (though not sure if they're actually around in the same time period as Jander - oh well). Or Jander encountering other "nice" undead creatures? Whether genuinely good-aligned or just powerful undead who decide to make friends with (or attempt to exploit) this unusual creature? Or maybe Jander finding himself stuck in the Time of Troubles? What did Lathander get up to in that time anyway?
One note: a) I pretty much stopped reading Forgotten Realms novels nearly two decades ago, so - I've probably missed out on a huge number of world-changing events, okay? Please stick to older canon?
The Judge Dee Mysteries - Robert van Gulik
Dee Jen-djieh | Di Renjie aka Judge Dee.
I'd love a story where the good Judge is confronted with something from outside his normal, sensible context. This could be something genuinely supernatural - maybe a fox spirit wants its day in court, a ghost wants revenge and won't stop bothering him until it happens, a god actually getting involved with mortals for a bit, Sun Wukong causing trouble in Judge Dee's latest district - or it could be someone from far away, from some culture not already seen in the books. We're a few centuries too early for a particularly adventurous Viking, but I know Byzantium had some sort of embassies to China in this period, or maybe someone from sub-Saharan Africa or a particularly anachronistically located Native American?
I've only recently read this series and quite enjoyed it. They certainly have their flaws - if you believe Gulik's writing about 3/4 of all women in the Tang dynasty must have spent time as prostitutes, which strikes me as unrealistic (and I'm currently reading the original Dee novel he translated and there's not a courtesan in sight, so that seems to have been Gulik's kink) - and are a product of their time of writing and the inevitable conflicts with the time period portrayed (oh, gay people are fine as long as they do their duty to family and country, but conveniently the gay weretiger dies and conveniently the possibly lesbian relationship is derailed by one of the ladies turning out to be a man in disguise (and let's not even mention the surprise predatory lesbian murderess)).
So, yeah, they definitely have their flaws, but they are also entertaining. He has his fixations, but Gulik paints an excellent world with his words and his pictures, and his characters are interesting, both the Judge himself, his family and assistants as well as many of the characters who appear in just one or two novels.
I've prompted for a story involving the Judge (+ maybe his assistants, naturally, since a magistrate can't be expected to do everything by himself?) with his very rationalist Confucianist worldview encountering something outside of it. Possibly because Gulik constantly teasing the supernatural and yet never actually delivering gets old after the first few books. Or someone from another part of the world, because I do like a good story involving culture clash. I wouldn't object to a traveller from far away temporally either, if you'd be up for some poor time traveller getting stuck in ancient China?
魔道祖师 | Módào Zǔshī (Cartoon)
Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn
I would like a story focusing on Wei Wuxian during his period as the Yiling Laozu. The donghua's version of him is so "ridiculously overpowered necromancer" compared to the other versions of the canon, and I would really like a story that leans into that. He seems to have so many powers - walking through the air (who needs a magic sword to fly?), summoning and possibly controlling not just the armies of the undead, but corvids, animating tiny zombie leafs (I liked that leaf, damnit, it was far cuter than any paperman). He also seems - far more insane than any other version of Wei Wuxian. Really, if any version was to turn into a proper dark lord, it'd be the donghua's.
For more specific prompts: I've kinda fixated a bit on the moment in episode 15, where Wei Wuxian rips Wen Zhuliu's golden core from his body. Perhaps a story where he pauses long enough to realize that "oh, wait, here is a golden core, who do I know that happens to have given his golden core away?"? Or if you're not up for as much plot, well - he's got all those nice smoke tentacles of resentful energy obeying his every whim... how do we think Lan Wangji feels about tentacle sex? Or maybe an AU where Wei Wuxian returns from the dead and hasn't mellowed, giving everybody a bad shock?
Canon-specific DNW: Wei Wuxian shipped exclusively with somebody not Lan Wangji. Three- or moresomes that include LWJ are fine, having another relationship before or alongside is fine, but either there is WWX/LWJ or there should be no shipping Wei Wuxian with anybody in the story.
The donghua was my introduction to this fandom and I still prefer certain parts of it to the book or tv show. Where the tv show went the lighter and fluffier route, the donghua is delightfully dark and it has so many undead. I mean, season two suffers a lot from apparently having had to be done in half the number of episodes, so it feels pretty squished, but, well - I like the Yiling Laozu of the donghua. Borderline insane, incredibly powerful, very loyal Wen Ning following him around (I really like Wen Ning as well in this).>/cut>
