-you've prompted for the fandom in Yuletide three or more times, not necessarily in a row
-you've never received a gift for that fandom.

Comment with:
-Your AO3 name
-The fandom
-The characters you want
-Links, where relevant, to past letters, info on the canon, etc
-A summary of your prompt.
Or copy the below into a comment, and fill it out:
Writers: please check out the comments here & the spreadsheet to find the prompt of someone's dreams.

Fandom: Dracula (TV 2013)
Character(s): Mina Murray, Lucy Westenra
Links: https://singedsun.dreamwidth.org/35308.html : https://www.nbc.com/dracula
Prompt summary: I'm looking for something with Lucy and Mina's relationship, preferably after Lucy is turned and she's declared herself to Mina. Something with a happy (and potentially bloody) ending for them.

(Anonymous) 2020-01-18 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)Fandom: Questionable Content
Characters: Shame Orb, Yelling Bird
Link: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~republic/yuletide2019.html
Summary: Yelling Bird and the Shame Orb clearly have history (see QC 1567 (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1567)). I would be bowled over by some cracky slash between them. Maybe even what happened on June 14th 1987!

Fandom: The Last Kingdom (TV)
Character(s): Aethelflaed, Aelswith, Brida, Hild
Links: https://selenak.dreamwidth.org/1369305.html#cutid4
Prompt summary: relationship between Aethelflaed and her mother Aelswith, three dimensional Aelswith, Brida and Hild interacting.

Fandom: Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly
Character(s): Benjamin January, Ayasha January, Rose Vitrac January
Links: https://slashmarks.dreamwidth.org/95986.html#cutid1
: https://slashmarks.dreamwidth.org/84483.html
: https://slashmarks.dreamwidth.org/65726.html
Prompt summary: I basically just want (canon setting, not modern AU/whatever) Ben/Ayasha fic, with bonus points if you can work in a threesome and/or Ayasha and Rose meeting in an AU.
Does Rose come to France and get involved with Benjamin and Ayasha's mysteries? Do Ben and Ayasha come back to New Orleans for some ungodly reason? Casefic set in France? Ben and Ayasha move to the Ottoman Empire so Ben can have a successful career in medicine, with bonus conversion drama? Anything would be great!

(Anonymous) 2020-01-19 10:43 am (UTC)(link)Fandom: Ruby Redfort Series - Lauren Child
Character(s): Ruby Redfort, any others you care to throw in but especially Agent Blacker and Hitch
Links: didn't write a letter when I first signed up in 2017 (shame on me!) but:

https://therogueofblood.tumblr.com/post/188619262295/dear-yuletide-writer-2019
Prompt summary: See letters for more specific prompts/concepts, but in general I'd love to see found family-esque content with Ruby and the rest of the Spectrum staff, because I love the idea of a huge secret spy organization basically adopting this literal child.
Outlander/Lord John Grey
Fandom: Outlander/Lord John Grey series
Character(s): Lord John Grey
Links: https://litalex.dreamwidth.org/5827.html
https://litalex.dreamwidth.org/4222.html
https://litalex.dreamwidth.org/2069.html
https://litalex.dreamwidth.org/541.html
Prompt summary: I'd be happy as a clam as long as you focus on Lord John. Just please don't make him dwell on Jamie. Mentioning Jamie is fine, but I don't like to think of John pining for anyone, poor boy. Or, I know, how Lord John and Hector met and fell in love?
Krampack/Nico and Dani

Fandom: كتاب ألف ليلة وليلة | Kitaab 'alf layla wa-layla | One Thousand and One Nights
Character(s): جعفر بن یحیی برمکی | Ja'far ibn Yahya al-Barmaki
Links: https://quillori.dreamwidth.org/30774.html#OON - most recent letter, much the same as all the previous ones.
Prompt summary: Famous for his power and wealth, and the favour of his Caliph, famed too for his eloquence and liberality, but led suddenly away to death in the midst of all his prosperity by that same Caliph. What sort of man was Ja'far, and did he live always with the knowledge he might fall, or was it an unthinkable betrayal?

Fandom: Poison Ivy (1992) - which is a Drew Barrymore / Sara Gilbert film, NOT a Batman thing
Characters: Ivy, Sylvie Cooper
Letter: (i've been cutting and pasting the same prompt list for years so) https://idle-flower.tumblr.com/post/665018703096741888/dear-yuletide-author-2021
I am obviously a femslash fan but it doesn't necessarily have to go there. I mostly want someone to wallow in the angst that this movie inspired for me when I was young in the 90s. Unfortunately the tag on AO3 is almost entirely filled with mistagged Batman stuff.

https://sometimesalways.livejournal.com/1535531.html
https://sometimesalways.livejournal.com/1535189.html
Prompt summary: These two and their award season chemistry made me want a real life slow burn rom com so damn bad. Give me first dates post-award season or someone realizing how much they should be boyfriends on screen and casting them in the next big lgbtq romance film and them slowly falling for one another. Whatever you want, I'll love it.
Leif & Thorn
(Anonymous) 2021-10-24 02:47 am (UTC)(link)Fandom: Leif & Thorn
Character(s): Leif of Sønheim, Thorn Estragon
Links: https://glassrain83.tumblr.com/post/665624408323391488/dear-yuletide-writer-2021
Past letters: https://glassrain83.tumblr.com/tagged/yuletide-letter
Canon source: https://leifandthorn.com/
Prompt summary: Leif/Thorn is canon, over a slow-burn arc that took about 5 years real-world time. They still have ongoing struggles around Leif’s control microchip, and Thorn’s effort to handle the unwanted power it gives him. Leif/Thorn/Kale is not canon yet, but the OT3 shipteasing is strong, so maybe in 5 more years?
Any fic about them would be lovely.
See this year's letter for specific Leif/Thorn-centric prompts. I would enjoy fic about other characters too - see the earlier letters for prompts about characters who weren't nominated this year.
