Well, turns out I get one more request and these gorgeous fandoms to choose from (of most wanted):

The Unusuals
Nashville (TV)
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Awake (TV)
Anne of Green Gables (1985)
Andromeda (TV)
Unusual Dragon Hoards - iguanamouth
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
Hawkeye (Comics)
Luann (Comics)
Anne of Green Gables - L. M. Montgomery
Abrahamic Religions
Divergent Series - Veronica Roth
Starwalker - Melanie Edmonds
The Secrets of Jin-Shei - Alma Alexander


It's horrible how badly I want some of these. I wanted science bros + Jane in MCU. I want fic to exist for Jin-Shei (chosen sisters!). I want Starwalker fic soooo badly. I want Jonas Blake/Philippa Gordon fic to exist. And everything else I have in mind for the various fandoms, I want a lot, so I guess that means MCU, Jin-Shei, Starwalker, and Anne are topping my last request candidate list. But which one, which one...?

[scribblemyname]

I should probably go with the one I could NEVER write, but that still only narrows it down to two: MCU or Anne of Green Gables.

I could totally write some science sibs for you ;)

(side note, because I don't know how else to inform you guys) - one of the pairings that's been nominated, you know how some of them have the fandom in the relationship, like in parentheses after the ship? well, one of the ones I chose the fandom listed is supposed to be ASOIAF but the nominator put ASOIF. Is there a way to change that? It irks me.

[scribblemyname]

You are sweet and wonderful and I may throw prompts your way.

As for ASOIAF, as the parenthetical is pretty much only used in exchanges, I went with the disambiguation acronym as best I could remember and in traditional grammar rules, the prepositions don't get capitals, so I missed that. Nevertheless, we are out of the nominations phase and into sign-ups and I would have to literally redo the entire fandom's relationships, reassociate them, and hope I didn't break any sign-ups that already have it. Therefore, I'm not willing to risk making a mess by fixing them. Sorry.

...no lies. I am indeed.

Well, that makes sense. I've never seen it differently than ASOIAF, though, but I get why it would have been that way. I'll survive, though. If it irks me too much before sign-ups are over I'll just take it off or trade it for something.

[scribblemyname]

Yeah, my mistake. Not my fandom, and an imperfect memory.

It's fine, really. :)
