I have the 'get gifts' setting set to 'yes', also.

1. Neko Ramen


2. Murder She Wrote


3. Hellboy (Comics)


4. Witchfinder (Comics)


5. Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense


6. City Of Heroes

Fandom: Neko Ramen (Manga)

• Character(s): Taishō (Neko Ramen)

I understand that this particular comic may not be easy to find. I'm sorry about that. But if you can find even a few strips, I think you can get the general gist!

Prompts:

• Taishō gets on a cooking show! Or his own cooking show!


• Taishō gets into a tourist magazine


• Taishō becomes popular with influencers


• Taishō actually makes some good ramen and what he does next may surprise you


• Taishō has to obey health codes

BONUS CROSSOVER IDEA: The Ace Attorney crew sure do love their ramen.

Fandom: Murder She Wrote

• Character(s): Jessica Fletcher (Murder She Wrote)

Fandom Specific DNW: Jessica as the killer or sinister in any way.

I loved Angela Lansbury and I love Murder She Wrote. I really would love some kind of casefic for this, but I'm happy with all sorts of other stories because she's such a delight. I'm happy with you including any other member of the cast! Especially Grady if you're inspired to do stuff with the fact that she raised him as her son.

Prompts:

• Jessica goes to a very unexpected place to solve a murder


• Jessica has to deal with social media to promote her new book


• Jessica gets a cat like all the mystery solvers in the cozy mysteries


• Jessica tries to learn how to drive (success and motivation is up to you)


• Jessica is involved in a museum exhibit about Cabot Cove or her own influence


• True Crime Podcast about Jessica's 80s adventures in modern times


• Jessica is asked for help by an old friend, but it might surprise you who it is


• Ghost story

BONUS CROSSOVER IDEA: I would be happy to see Jessica cross over with ANY of my fandoms on this list, especially if she's solving a crime.

Fandom: Hellboy (Comics)

• Character(s): Hellboy (Hellboy Comics)


• Trevor Bruttenholm (Hellboy Comics)

FANDOM SPECIFIC DNW: Bruttenholm being neglectful of Hellboy. I enjoy the comics most where you can see how much he loves his son. Bruttenholm/Anyone under his authority and Hellboy/Liz.

I chose any for this fandom, so focusing on Hellboy, on Bruttenholm, or both is fine with me!

Prompts:

• Ghosts


• English folklore


• What if Hellboy's revelation about him re: King Arthur came while Bruttenholm was still alive?


• Teenage Hellboy (I loved the comics set during that period) and the mishaps thereof going along on a case or vacation or even just a conference with Bruttenholm


• Presenting a paper on something supernatural (Meta stuff here would be cool)


• What was Hellboy's education like?


• Bruttenholm reading parenting books


• Horror movies for Halloween for either of them or both of them

BONUS CROSSOVER IDEA: Someone suggested in Yulechat that Eglantine from Bedknobs and Broomsticks would have a good reason to be involved with Bruttenholm's early work. I would love to see something with that.



Fandom: Witchfinder (Comics)

• Character(s): Edward Grey (Witchfinder)

I don't really have much to say here except I really do rather like Edward and my ideas here are mostly What Ifs.

Prompts:

• What if Mary Wolf had lived?


• What if Edward had gone back to see Kaler and his friend?


• What if Edward DID defeat the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra?


• What if The Captain lived?


• Ghosts


• What if the poor man had a nice cup of tea.

Fandom: Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense

• Character(s): Abe Sapien (BPRD)


• Johann Krauss (BPRD)


• Kate Corrigan (BPRD)


• Liz Sherman (BPRD)

Fandom Specific DNW: If Hellboy is present, no Hellboy/Liz. If Bruttenholm is present, no Bruttenholm/Anyone.

I chose any for this fandom so mix and match as you see fit. I would be happy with any other canonical characters joining the story and any pairings you would like to write except my DNW. If you want some guidance, I sure do like Hellboy/Abe.

There's some pretty distinct eras for the BPRD canons. Personally I prefer the stuff pre-Apocalypse but if you want to write past then, that's fine by me. I really enjoy when they get involved in folklore stuff.

Prompts:

• Ghosts


• Obscure monsters


• Bureaucracy


• Reports (Meta would be appreciated here!)


• Urban legends


• Downtime


• Superstitions


• Let them have some fun

BONUS CROSSOVER IDEA: In Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Eglantine uses magic to fight the nazis. This may have inspired the BPRD's formation to use magic to a similar purpose. This idea is blatantly stolen from someone in yulechat. Please feel free to somehow cross this over with Bedknobs and Broomsticks.


Fandom: City of Heroes (Video Game)

• Character(s): Clockwork King (City of Heroes)


• Countess Crey (City of Heroes)


• Nemesis (City of Heroes)


• Hamidon (City of Heroes)

Fandom specific DNW: Heroes as causing unspeakable harm to the villains, EXCEPT in the case of the Clockwork King where Blue Steel totally did what he did. I guess I'm just saying dual pistols shoot nerf bullets and fire blasters shoot nerf fire. Clockwork King/Penny Yin. Please make it platonic if you use CK. The whole timeline gives me a headache.

Okay, so I chose 'any' for this one too - different idea this time though. I want you to write something for City of Heroes involving one of these villain groups or more or all of them. I have no character DNWs. I have no pairing preferences or real interest except Sally/Lusca which is canon.

You do NOT have to use a canon character for POV. Please feel free to make up a hero or a villain or a citizen or a minion or whatever. OCs are welcomed.

Please feel free to set this pre-Statesman and Psyche getting offed.

Prompts:

• A plot thwarted?


• A plot succeeded?


• Recovering from a task force


• Recovering from a raid


• Planning the next big one


• Thwarting the next big one


• META - news reports, research papers, podcasts, conspiracy theories, advertisement campaigns from shell companies


• Fallout from major plots


• Life of a citizen


• Life of a minion


• Life of a PR guy in Crey


• Life of a Eco(terrorist/activist) in Paragon/Rogue Isles


• Life as a trash collector having to deal with those terrible little robots
