Chromatic Yuletide 2024
Chromatic Yuletide is a collection post for Yuletide requests that include characters of colour. Posting here doesn't obligate you to do anything, but it helps writers find your requests and treat you.
Posting requirements:
Your request centers around at least one character of colour.
(I acknowledge there are some shortcomings with the "person of colour" descriptor. I'm also not going to police who is or isn't a character of colour; please just use your best judgment.)
What you must include:
Your AO3 name
Whatever fandoms & characters of colour you're requesting
What you should probably include:
Links to your letter or copy/pasted requests
A brief description of your canon or a link to a canon promo, if you think it's unfamiliar to most people & you want to boost interest in it
If you write for one of these requests, you can tag your fic with Chromatic Yuletide so people can easily find it.

DNWs and additional prompts for each fandom are available at the letter link
Fandom: Funny Girl - Styne/Merril/Lennart/Fierstein
Character: Eddie Ryan
What is it?: The 2022 revival of the classic Barbara Streisand musical. Lots of bootlegs are up on Youtube.
What am I requesting: Eddie was originally played by a white actor, but the revival casts him as a Black man, so I would love fic that writes him as a specifically Black character.
Fandom: First Kill (TV 2022)
Characters: Apollo Burns, Calliope Burns, Talia Burns, Theo Burns
What is it?: An 8 episode supernatural teen drama on Netflix about star-crossed lesbians from a vampire family and a vampire hunting family
What I am requesting: The Burns are a Black family of vampire hunters and I want to read more about their beautiful and complicated relationships with each other and the vampire hunting organization.
Fandom: Thoroughly Modern Millie - Tesori/Scanlan/Morris
Character: Muzzy Van Hossmere
What is it?: A 2002 adaptation of a Julie Andrews film from the 60s.
What am I requesting: The way this musical handles race is pretty horrible overall, but they did choose to cast Muzzy as a Black woman, which is a change from the movie. They then proceeded to never address this or make it part of her character. Much like the Funny Girl example above, I would love for fic that writes Muzzy as a specifically Black character.
Fandom: Roaring Twenties Magic - Allie Therin
Characters: Jade Robbins, Jianwei Zhang
What is it?: M/M fantasy historical romance trilogy that is a spinoff of the Magic in Manhattan series.
What I am requesting: Jade and Zhang are a secondary couple across both series who deserve more love! She's telekinetic former spy with a taste for fancy suits who runs a speakeasy in Harlem. He can astral project and comes from a family of Chinese magical scholars. They solve magical mysteries together.
