Yuletide Leter 2017

[themangosity]

Dear Yuletide Writer:

Thanks for being my writer! I’m really excited to see what you come up with! I’m sure I’ll love it no matter what :D

I don’t really have any triggers or anything that I really don’t want to read about. I like stories that match the tone of the original and take place within the original universe. It’s fun to read about what the characters might do once the series is over or things that happen to them during the series that we don’t get to see.

Okay, here’s a list of all of the fandoms I requested and what I like about each of them:
 

 

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

My favorite part of Skyward Sword was Skyloft. It’s such a colorful and lively place, and it was always so much fun running around aimlessly and talking to everyone. I especially liked the Knight Academy where all of the trainees and knights live, but we never really get to see what life is like there. I’d like a story about Link’s time living there at the Knight Academy. I like all the other Academy characters too, like Pippit, the wimpy guy and the serious girl, and all of the others. So feel free to include them too! It can take place before the game or during the game during one of Link’s visits home.

By the way, I never actually finished Skyward Sword! The last time I played, I defeated this octopus cyclops monster, and then I saved. I actually think there’s a cutscene waiting for me when I eventually go back! If you write for me for this, can you not reveal anything about the end of the game? I know it’s been forever since it came out, but I’ll finish it eventually! :D

Paper Mario

I’ve always loved the original Paper Mario, but I’ve always been disappointed that none of the sequels continued that original story. I always wanted to know what happened next with all those characters! I especially loved Princess Peach’s adventures with Twink. I’d love a story that takes place after Paper Mario with those two as the main characters. Did Bowser do something evil again? Is there a new bad guy making trouble? Or maybe there’s no trouble at all and it’s just an ordinary day. I also loved Luigi in this game. He’s so carefree and funny! And Mario should probably make an appearance too since it is his game! :D I’d love a story where they all come together and have a little adventure where they visit some of the locations from the original game and meet some of those original characters. But if you want to just stick to the characters in Toad Town, that’s okay too.

Plants vs Zombies

I remember when I first read about Plants vs. Zombies before it even came out. I thought it was so crazy, and I still think it’s crazy. But I love it! I love the colorful flowers and the hilarious writing. Half the fun is reading through the almanac. It's so funny! My favorite character is Sunflower because of the Plants vs. Zombies music video (which you can find here!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N1_0SUGlDQ). I also really love Crazy Dave. He’s such a funny and…well…crazy character!

I’d love a story that has the plants getting into some silly trouble, probably because of Crazy Dave. Does Crazy Dave have some sort of harebrained scheme to defeat the zombies? Does he invent something that goes horribly wrong? Or maybe one of the plants has an idea for some sort of strategy against the zombies. The owner of “your” house could also make an appearance.

Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series

Most of my knowledge of this series comes from this one direct-to-video movie called Mighty Ducks the Movie: The First Face-Off, which is actually just a few of the episodes strung together to seem like a movie. When we were little kids, me and my brother would watch that movie over and over again. We loved it so much! I’ve seen some of the other episodes over the years but my frame of reference for “The Mighty Ducks” is that movie. I’ve also always loved the Mondo Man episode and the one where dinosaurs attack the city.

If you write for me for this, I’d be happy with anything that’s similar to the show. Is Dragaunus up to no good again? Is there a new villain causing trouble? It would also be cool if you wrote something that delved into one of the characters’ thoughts and emotions about everything that’s happened to them. My favorite characters were Wildwing, Nosedive, Tanya and Duke L'Orange, but Nosedive was my favorite of all of them! If you could feature him even just briefly, that would be great!

Here are some links to the episodes they strung together to make the movie. It actually worked really well! At first we didn’t even realize there was a show! If you watch these back to back it’s like you’ve seen the movie. Together they last about 1 hour.

That’s it for all of the fandoms I requested. Thank you so much for doing Yuletide and volunteering to write for whichever fandom we matched on! I can’t wait to read your story!
