It took three seconds of me looking at this comic to fall in love with the bull pursuing his porcelain dreams and I also love the shopkeeper and how on the one hand he's someone to aggressively call a bluff but also someone to, like, intensely bond with someone. And I just want more of their friendship/found family. What kinds of things do they do together? What do they talk about? What's the weirdest storekeeping experience they've bonded over? Also this is clearly a world only semi-adjacent to ours given the whole Bull as a shopkeeper thing so I'm curious what the rest of the world is like, how customers react to the bull, etc.
Bone (comic) Worldbuilding (Bone Comic), Stupid Rat Creatures
Listen I love the stupid rat creatures so much. So much. I would happily read a story where the rat creatures get to be the heroes of their own adventure instead of just the bumbling villain minions of someone else's. I also want them to have all the quiche they want. I appreciate them falling asleep when read Moby Dick and would happily hear about their tolerance for other literary canons. Feel free to also provide more world-building about rat creatures in general...
Robert Pattinson: A Dispatch From Isolation - Zach Baron (no characters nominated)
I have no clue what the person who nominated this was thinking but man, do I really want to know. If you, too, have some idea of what on earth kind of fic someone could make from this article, please, feel free to send it my way. The article is bonkers in the best kind of way. Do what you want with it. OR, if you want a prompt, the fact that I read this article back when the Robert Pattinson Batman movie (which I have not watched) was announced made me immediately imagine Robert Pattinson as a superhero doing this whole bonkers bit as part of keeping his secret identity secret. Feel free to go with that.
Edit: Apparently someone did request this! It just didn't show up in the signup summary. In that case, um, if you like the secret identity idea go with it? But there is someone else actually requesting this for their actual gift.
Magids Series - Diana Wynne Jones Maree Mallory, Rupert Venables
I love their prickly relationship and how they both have unlikable bits and yet really care for each other. I also just love them being cranky, in general. I loved how the book had them having this whole epic adventure at a con, and would love some similar weird juxtaposition of them doing important stressful Magid business in a ludicrous yet mundane location. (Ren Faire feels a little too similar... An amusement park? A town hall meeting? A school trip at a local museum/aquarium? But if instead of adventure you just want to write them being cozy at home that works too.
(note: I have read the second book so you don't need to worry about spoilers, but I read it a really long time ago and only vaguely remember it, hence my prompts being first-book-centric)
Additional Details:
It is fine to contact me with questions or to go no-questions-asked, I know that these are completely bonus treats. Indulge yourself when writing them! Just please avoid my DNWs, which are listed in my letter.
