...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! :)

The likes and dislikes in my letter give a pretty good picture of what I like. Otherwise, I'd be happy about anything in these fandoms!

Awesome fandoms I noticed too late

• Wild Adapter (Kubota Makoto, Tokito Minoru)
Why I like it: The dark, nihilistic atmosphere with the occasional spark of hope is a big draw for me. I ship them, but really, how could one not?

• The Greenhollow Series - Emily Tesh (any)
Why I like it: The beauty and magic and romance of it, the characters with their flaws and strengths. I especially loved the first book. I'd love to read more of Henry as he is by the end, but really, anything in this fandom would be a delight.

• A Land Fit for Heroes - Richard Morgan (Egar Dragonbane, Ringil Eskiath)
Why I like it: I requested this a couple of times, and my desire for Ringil/Egar or anything about their past or future has not waned. Link to a letter with more details

I'm always happy to read interactive fiction if you're into it! Feel free to ask questions if you like.
