Season's Treatings mini-challenge
Do you love receiving or writing end of year holiday stories? Are you prompting a snowed in Hanukkah celebration or an Australian New Year's beach party? Season's Treatings may be for you!
This mini-challenge is all about December and January holidays, traditions, and cultural celebrations big and small and all over the globe--and perhaps some fantasy worlds, who knows. If you want to prompt it, someone may want to write it.
When you comment, please include:
AO3 Name:
Letter Link (if applicable):
Holiday(s) Requested:
Fandom and character(s):
Prompts:
If you're also interested in receiving holiday art, don't forget to also put your letter over at Wrapping Paper.
When you upload, tag it as Season's Treatings so we can all find them!

Holiday(s) Requested: Since these fandoms are a mix of time periods, settings and religions, let me say that any kind of seasonal festivities are warmly and fully welcomed! I do especially love new-year style celebrations, but I'm easy.
Fandom and character(s):
The Terror (book) - John Irving, Silna/Lady Silence
Ghosts (TV) - Kitty, Mary, Alison, Lady Button
The Alienist (TV) - Marcus Isaacson, Mary Palmer
(I also requested A Knightâs Tale (Movie), Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem (Game) and The Outer Worlds (Game) but it's the above three fandoms I'm really keen on. However, I'm not fool enough to look a gift reindeer in the mouth!)
Prompts:
In general, I'd like to see the more optimistic side of holiday stories. Doesn't mean a story can't go dark, but happy or at least bittersweet endings would be fab.
- I love the tradition of Christmas ghost stories, so any kind of spooky, atmospheric seasonal setting would be brilliant, be it a ghost story itself, or characters sitting around telling each other ghost stories.
- Ghosts is ripe for seasonal storytelling! How do these characters from across the time periods celebrate?
- Characters being snowed in together is a classic! And hey, John Irving of The Terror knows all about being snowed in.
- NYE kisses. Yes.
- Mistletoe kisses. Yes.
- Are there other kiss traditions? I don't know. All the kisses!
- Variations on A Christmas Carol are also always fully warmly welcomed.
