...and a Partridge in a Pear Tree

[yulebegay]

There are 3623 fandoms nominated in this year's tagset, with 14007 amazing characters. Given that this is a multi-fandom exchange, it doesn't matter if you requested the minimum (3 fandoms) or the maximum (6 fandoms) in your sign-up, there is a high possibility that even 50 slots wouldn't be enough for all the fandoms you know, love, and would enjoy to read fic for. That's where ...and a Partridge in a Pear Tree 🕊 🍐 🌲 comes in!

How does it work?

• Go through the tag set.
  • It's your decision if you include only the fandoms that were narrowly cut from your requests this year or if you list anything and everything you slightly recognize from osmosis.
  • The Taglist Filter makes this easy!
• Comment to this post with the list of fandoms you would enjoy receiving a treat * for so that authors who really were hoping to write for that fandom this year can know someone out there would like to receive it!
  • Only providing fandom names will be considered an "Any" request for whatever characters are nominated in that fandom.
  • If you want to provide an author with generic likes guidance and/or DNWs that you wish to see honored, include a link to your letter/sign-up.
  • If you have specific characters you would like to read about in any given fandom and/or have prompts suggestions, you are encouraged to share that information.
  • If you're listing a fandom you previously requested, you are welcome to link to the letter you requested it in but only if it is for characters nominated in this year's tagset.
• Add participation to the app so that anyone browsing will know that you're signed up for this challenge!
• * Note: Since none of these are official requests and thus cannot be someone's main gift, anything made for this challenge must be posted into the 2021 Madness Collection. If you post it in the main collection there is a strong chance the mods will contact you and/or kick it out!

That's it. Have fun! Hopefully this challenge will result in fics that otherwise couldn't or wouldn't have been written and will see the Madness collection get some extra love this year! :)

Uhura's Song - Janet Kagan: 'Evan Wilson' aka Tail-Kinker to-Ennien
I'm intrigued by this impossibly gifted woman skipping from one identity to another in the highly advanced and organized Federation. You could write me her origin story, how she goes about 'studying up' to play the part of a galaxy-renowned expert, show me something new about her time interacting with the Sivaoans, have her sit down with Spock for that legend of the Vulcan trickster, or write a fic about a future historian trying to trace her path across the galaxy.

The Deed of Paksenarrion - Elizabeth Moon Dorrin Verrakai

Additional Details: I've opted into Crueltide, Yuleporn, Yulebuilding, Make the Yuletide Gay, and Two for One. I love ficlets and drabbles, in case you have an idea for an amuse-bouche.
