yuletide | ...and a Partridge in a Pear Tree

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! :)

General Details: I went through the whole tagset with the bookmarklet and clicked all the fandoms that I would love to read a fic in! For all of these fandoms, I explicitly opt into "any nominated characters". What I would really love to read is the fandom & prompt that you were secretly hoping someone would ask for. My favorite fics are the ones where the author's enthusiasm for the character/ship/story is really evident!

I am not going to try to come up with individual prompts for every one of these fandoms, because there are a lot, but:
• I have a lot of general likes and prompts in my letter if you are looking for inspiration
• When in doubt, I especially love LGBT couples, both getting-together fic and established relationship
• Feel free to steal and adapt prompts from any of my requested fandoms, or from any past letters
• I am also open to receiving questions about any of these fandoms :) If you feel weird about contacting me directly, my friend

polkad0tting knows most of what I like and could be a go-between.
• The only thing I ask is that you check my DNWs :)

I also did not try to go through all the five-minute fandoms, but if you are looking to write for one of those, I would love to receive fic if it involves a happy LGBT couple!

Finally, I'm including the fandoms I requested in this list (Kim's Convenience, Shang-Chi, and Marvel Phase Four RPF), because although I requested specific things, for treats I am open to the entire tagset and whatever you are dying to write in the fandom. :)
