bobcatmoranHello, Yuletide Writer!
Many many thanks and good seasonal tidings towards you!
Optional Details Are Optional, of course, and if you have a great fic idea that you're just dying to write, please by all means go for it!
However, if you want some extra help, I have an overly-long letter
In general:
If you choose to go the romance route, I am ok with couples or poly relationships of all shapes and sizes — M/F, M/M, F/F, nonbinary, trans, interspecies, etc. Friends-to-lovers is always awesome. I am not so down with big power differences (e.g. teacher/student), hatesex, or noncon. However! If you don’t want to go the romance route, rest assured that I always and forever love me some genfic.
Other likes include found family, science fiction settings (space AUs for those canons that aren’t already in space are ok), canon divergence AUs (e.g. “What if Harry was sorted into Slytherin”), and characters being snarky.
For a further idea of what sort of stuff I like (and some, IMO, really good reads), you can check out my Ao3 bookmarks, or my “read this fic it is good” and “read this story it is good” tags on Tumblr — the latter is for original fiction.
As for the individual fandoms…

Being that this is a fighter game based on Les Mis, I'm not expecting anything super-serious here. I mean, if the muse has struck you in that direction, go for it by all means, but if you're going the route of pure, unadultrated crack, that is totally a good route to be on. If you want to try and explain how this world works (Where did Robojean come from? Why are they all fighting? Are these the canon characters thrust into video fighter game land or a crazy AU? What the heck is even up with Ponpon?), or try and explore the Cosette-Eponine-Marius love triangle thing in this 'verse, or even retell part of the story in this bizarro universe, I am up for all those or anything else your mind can come up with. Basically, go nuts, just no sexytimes, please. And I'm okay with any of the characters listed, either individually or together. You're under no obligation to include all of them, although you certainly can if you like. FYI, as far as canons go, if you want to incorporate things from the more "official" versions of Les Mis, I'm familiar with The Brick as well as the musical and very nearly all the filmed versions.
I think I pretty well covered it. FYI, I know this is a fandom that I've actually written for, but if your take on the game-verse is different from mine in any way, shape, or form, that's more than okay. The more takes on this crazy universe and the more fic for this, the better!
I'm gonna be a total lazy butt and link to my fandom pimping post from a couple years ago https://yuletide.livejournal.com/1166870.html?thread=17110294#t17110294, because that has links to download the game and YouTube videos of gameplay.
Kamen Rider Build
Any character
I’d love a little slice-of-life with the Nascita crew at any point in the series, whether it be early on, when it was just the Isurugis and the weirdo physicist who lived in their basement to towards the end, with the whole gang added in. Or! If you’d like to write post-series fic with Sento and Banjou getting to know the new world counterparts of their old friends, that’d be awesome, too. Basically, I love all these characters and I am a giant sucker for the Found Family trope. Gen or shipping at no more of a level than the series itself, please.
This series devoured my brain with happy munching sounds, and it’s all because of the characters and their relationships — not romantically, as I’m not much of a shipper for this series, but the way that all these people who are messed up in their own ways found companionship and a new, optimistic view on life. How they were able to become better people together than they were individually. Basically, y’know that cookout they had on the rooftop? That sort of feeling.
FYI, I have only a passing familiarity with the post-series movies, so if you want to ignore those, go right ahead.
Kamen Rider Zero-One
Any character
I’d really love something that explores the role that Humagears play in this world and how the various humans interact with them. Or, conversely, something about any/all members of the metsuboujinrai.family— a slice-of-life of whatever the heck they’re doing in Daybreak Town while not actively working towards the extinction of the human race would be a delight.
I’m very aware that this is an ongoing series, and that anything written has the possibility of getting Jossed at any second. However, I love me some alternate timelines and am absolutely willing to entertain anything that becomes non-canon between now and Christmas as such (e.g. there are some extant fics from very early on which made wrong guesses as to whether Horobi and Jin were Humagears or humans, and I still enjoy them immensely).
I’d prefer gen for this one, but if you absolutely, positively have to make it shippy, human/Humagear romantic relationships are a BIG turn-off for me in this universe.
I should add that human/Humagear platonic relationships are absolutely a thing I’d love to see, as are any instances of Humagears interacting with each other. Aside from the Metsuboujinrai gang, we really haven’t gotten much of the latter so far in the show. Heck, even something just from the POV of a Humagear character would be spiffy.
17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future - Jon Bois
Any character
Sentient space probe fic, please. I’d love a fic with any/all of Hubble, Juice, or Ten first achieving consciousness, or just space probe chit-chat (of which I am sure there are a few millennia’s worth).
I admit it. I have a thing for space probes. It’s been an ongoing thing since I was a very wee Bobcat and fell in love with Voyager 2 and cried when I found out that Pioneer 11 was leaving the solar system and would be all alone. So you can imagine the pitch and volume of the shriek I emitted when I found out who Nine was. If you wanna include football in this, that’s awesome. If you don’t, that’s awesome, too. I just wanna see a thing with the sentient space ships hanging out, whether it be Nine getting more comfortable with its new situation, Juice being kind of an ass, Hubble on a rare occasion where it’s being social, or anything else you fancy. Um. Maybe not sexytimes, as these characters are all a pretty substantial distance from each other, but if you can make it work, more power to you. And if you have no idea what I’m talking about, go here https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football and read/watch the thing on an actual computer instead of mobile if you have a couple free hours. I’ll wait. Also, if you get stuck on one of the other fandoms (it happens! I’ve written for fandoms I didn’t sign up for twice), this might be a good one to pick up as it’s relatively easy to access.
I hope this helps and that you have a bear-free Yuletide!
