Dear Trick or Treat Artist/Writer

If you check out my last Trick or Treat (or even Yuletide) letter, you'll probably notice that I've copied a lot over, including some of the structure.

General stuff first!

I love all of the fandoms and characters I'm requesting, but rampant copy/pasting from past letters (with brief editing) means some sections are waaaay longer or shorter than others. It's due partially to a) how much I had to say, but mostly to b) how much energy I had at the time it was originally written. Length of a section has nothing to do with how much I love the request. They are all fandoms of my heart, and I'm excited at the possibility of receiving any of them.

Also, this letter is super long considering the minimum word count, so again, please don't feel obligated to read it all (or at all!). If you already have an idea of what you want to do from just the AO3 requests, go for it! This is all to (I hope) make it easier on you, and I am a big believer in optional details being optional. There being fic or art for my fandoms will make me happy. Everything else is icing on delicious, delicious cake.

This year I'm requesting art and/or fic in seven fandoms: Dragon Age (Varric), Dwarf Fortress (Cat, Forgotten Beast, Necromancer, Overseer), Fallout 4 (Deacon), Naruto (Guy/Gai), Rubyquest (Red), The Scumthorpe Files (any), and Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (Kreia). Each fandom section will include subsections as follows: short summary/promotion and links (for smaller fandoms), general fandom talk, character-specific prompts (where applicable), trick prompts, treat prompts, and art prompts. Feel free to skip straight to what you feel is most relevant. :D

Fair warning: this letter will contain spoilers, so if you have it on your "to watch/to read/to play" list and want to go into it with fresh eyes, you'll want to skip that section.

A note: I've received fic and art in the past for several of my requested fandoms, which I loved! I just want more. If you matched me on one of those, I am sure I will love whatever you make me, whether it's along the lines of the gifts I've already received or something entirely new.

For ease of stalking: tuesday on AO3, everysecondtuesday on tumblr (though, uh, it has been a long time since I knew what my tumblr password is and about as long since I've posted anything there)

If you've made it this far, I'd like to thank you for participating in Trick or Treat. This is a delightful exchange, and I am excited for and about it.

My number one hope for my gift fic or art is that you have a good time with it, so let me emphasize again that I'm just happy that there will be another fanwork for one of these fandoms. This monster of a letter was mostly an excuse to enthuse about these fandoms, and I truly hope it doesn't put you off or make you worry about whether you can make any of the prompts work. Whatever you end up writing or drawing, I'm hoping it's something you enjoy about the fandom and have fun creating.

Have a happy Trick or Treat!
