Tide of History mini-challenge

[thisbluespirit]

For those of us interested in historical requests, it can be hard enough just to pinpoint all the different RPF fandoms, let alone the various fictional ones, so this is a mini-challenge to help history-lovers find each other this Yuletide!

Tide of History

Link to your letters or post/expand requests here if you're into historical canons (RPF or fictional), want historical aspects of a non-historical canon (time travel, backstory, immortal lives), historical fantasy/SF/horror canons, traditional tales etc. with a period-setting, once-contemporary canons that are now historical, or if you'd love historical AUs for your fandom(s)!

Simply comment below using the handy c+p text to find like-minded requesters and treaters.

AO3 Name:
Letter link: (optional)
Fandom(s) & Character(s):
Request details: (optional, though some indication of period/setting would be good)

<b>AO3 Name:</b> <b>Letter link:</b> (optional) <b>Fandom(s) & Character(s):</b> <b>Request details:</b> (optional, though some indication of period/setting would be good)


I'm not going to be prescriptive about what is and isn't history - if your request/canon involves a recognisable period prior to the 21st C, and you think it belongs here, then it does.

You can tag it "Tide of History Challenge" when posting if you would like.

Chromatic Yuletide 2020!

[ashling]

(language used from Chromatic Yuletide 2018 and Femslash Festivus 2020)

Chromatic Yuletide is a collection post for Yuletide requests that include characters of color. Posting here doesn't obligate you to do anything, but it helps writers find your requests and treat you.

Posting requirements:
Your request centers around at least one character of color.

(I acknowledge there are some shortcomings with the "person of color" descriptor. I'm also not going to police who is or isn't a character of color; please just use your best judgment.)

What you must include:
Your AO3 name
Whatever fandoms & characters of color you're requesting

What you should probably include:
Links to your letter or copy/pasted requests
A brief description of your canon or a link to a canon promo, if you think it's unfamiliar to most people & you want to boost interest in it

If you write for one of these requests, you can tag your fic with 'Chromatic Yuletide' to help readers find your fic :)

Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational

[rabidsamfan]

So many fandoms, so little time.

If you've been enticed by tiny canons or letters with prompts that only give you itty bitty plot bunnies the Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational is back to meet all your "I don't have time or ideas enough to do 1000 words, but that is still keen" needs.

How does it work?

Write drabbles or drabble series for Yuletide Madness. Proper ones, where the text of each drabble is exactly 100 words, please. Ficlets are fun, but they aren't drabbles.

Give them to people.

Add "yumadrin" or "Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational" to the tags.

And of course, have fun!

We're up to 561 fics with the tag now, and I'm hoping we'll get past 600 at least!
