canadiandiamond | Dear Author

Dear author,

First off, thank you for writing me something, and I'm sure I'll love whatever it is you decide to write! I can't wait to see what you come up with, and hopefully you've had fun writing it as well.

I'm not all that picky when it comes to requests, as you'll no doubt see when you read my notes below. Happy endings, sad endings, major character death, angst, AUs, smut, gen, meet/cute, day in the life, all are ok with me. The only things I really don't want to see are incest, underage, rape/non-con, and dubcon, please.

With that being said, here's some more specific comments on the fandoms I've requested:

Father Ted - Ted Crilly, Dougal McGuire, Jack Hackett, Mrs. Doyle

A show that sadly ended much too soon. I really enjoyed watching it but I'd never read or wrote any fic until I saw that someone else nominated it a few years ago. I wrote a treat for it and have wanted to read/write more of it ever since.

Any fic featuring more wacky antics from the parochial house would be welcome. You can even focus on just Ted and Dougal if you'd prefer, as they're my favourite part of the series. Maybe Dougal has discovered Pokemon Go / the new Harry Potter VR game and is driving Ted (and likely the rest of Craggy Island) crazy with it, and their church is a Pokestop or w/e? Or perhaps they're trying to work on another Eurovision song entry together. Anything you'd want to write would be awesome!

The Good Place (TV) - Eleanor Shellstrop, Tahani Al-Jamil

Full confession: I'm a huge Kristen Bell fan, dating back to her Veronica Mars days. So it was really a given that I'd like this show, only I didn't expect to like it as much as I have, largely due to the rest of the cast. They're all amazing, and I want to know more about them all.

I went into Yuletide a few years ago requesting this but in a totally different light. I was assigned this show too, and ended up writing some Eleanor/Tahani fic by request. Since then I'm sold and am 100% behind this ship. Anything and everything you want to write about them would be amazing. An AU (if you've seen s2 of the show you'll know which one I mean!) would work well here, given the setting and the show itself. Use your imagination and just do whatever you want; maybe they run a coffee shop together (with a pun-tastic name of course) in one version, or become Good Place police officers of some kind - seriously, can't you see Eleanor as a bad cop? Just go crazy and have fun with it!

Also feel free to include other characters if you wish, they're all great, just as long as Eleanor and Tahani are the main focus.

Zombieland (2009) - Columbus (Zombieland), Tallahassee (Zombieland), Wichita (Zombieland), Little Rock (Zombieland)

This is a perennial nomination/request for me. The world just needs more Zombieland fic, period. It's such a great movie, the film that made me upgrade to a Blu-Ray player actually, and was the first HD film I owned. So much fun and a great cast with great chemistry.

I was excited about the sequel, and liked it well enough - no spoilers in case you haven't seen it - but it wasn't quite what I wanted. If you want to write something based off of that, however, that'd be fine too, or especially if you want to tweak or change it entirely. Feel free to either to incorporate it, alter it, or ignore it altogether!

If you don't want to use the sequel, I'd love to see where you would have had them going next, post first movie. Do they head south to Mexico, north to the pacific northwest, or amble back east? Maybe they go visit some of their respective hometowns, though that may be too painful for some. Or do they go for Canada/Alaska, where it's colder and maybe safer? Heck, they could find a boat and sail somewhere else too even. The possibilities are endless! Feel free to write an AU if you'd like as well. Anything you'd like to see happen would be great.

I ship Columbus/Wichita but you don't have to write that if you don't want to, and feel free to the other characters from the sequel if you'd like, as long as the focus is on the original group.

Thank you again for whatever you do write for me, I'm sure it'll be awesome and I can't wait to read it! :D
