My fandoms:
Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem
I've requested this fandom before, so you can browse my past letters through the tag for inspiration. However, this year, I would especially like stories that center the NPCs, rather than the main character, especially minor side characters and their perspective of events. I would also be interested in anything that takes place in past summits, or in Katyia's time.
True Pretenses - Rose Lerner
This is such a tiny niche fandom that I would be happy with anything. If writing period stuff stresses you out because of research, a modern AU (or any kind of AU) would be great.
Affairs of the Court: Choice of Romance
I added this fandom on a whim and I haven't replayed the game in a while. I'm interested in the worldbuilding surrounding life and death magic, and how inherited magic interacts with the aristocratic hierarchy.
Beware of the Villainess!
I love every character, but Yona's my favorite. I love that she backs Melissa through everything but refuses to act as a shadow and always maintains her own self-interest. I've read the main story to the end, but I haven't read most of the post-ending side stories, so I'm not too worried about whether your story complies with them or not. I also like the relationship between Yuri and Melissa a lot, whether platonic or not.
Legends & Lattes - Travis Baldree
I think I actually read this book after it was recommended for last year's Purimgifts, and now I hear there's a sequel due to come out. I love this book's cozy vibes and how community-focused it is. I feel like a story showing the main characters through the eyes of a casual customer would be really satisfying.
Megillat Ester
More than anything, I want to see Ester's life as a married queen. What is her marriage with Ahasuerus like? I'm open to a wide range of positive or negative portrayals, as long as no outright sexual violence is involved, but I would be most interested to see a relationship that isn't either flawless or wholly negative.
Untitled Goose Game
Shenanigans. The goose steals the hamantaschen or swaps around people's costumes before the big village Purim party. Something light-hearted.
Fairy Tales & Related Fandoms
I love lots of fairy tales. One of my perennial favorites is The Goose Girl, and it's partly because it reminds me so much of Megillat Ester. Another story that I've recently become interested in is Donkeyskin, which I think definitely qualifies as being persecuted by an evil vizier.
