Request 1 by laughingpineapple House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski ToT: Trick, Fanfiction, Any Character
If you're sitting on any kind of idea for HoL fanfiction, go for it, I'm interested. If you're looking for prompts, I'd like to see an expansion of the Navidson Record meta aspect of the book. We've already seen Zampanò reference anything from feng shui to fashion, so I'd love to see you pick a topic, ANY topic, and make up a short article (or a micro chapter by Zampanò referencing several articles) connecting it to the Navidson Record.
Request 2 by laughingpineapple Arzach (Moebius) ToT: Treat, ToT: Trick, Fanart, Fanfiction, Any Character
For art, I'd like to see Arzach interact with his pterodactyl... grooming it, spoiling it a little, your pick. For fic, a short new adventure! Feel free to go as wild and nonsensical as you want. Again, focus on Arzach's connection with his mount would be nice.
Request 3 by laughingpineapple INLAND EMPIRE (2006) ToT: Treat, Susan Blue (Inland Empire), Nikki Grace (Inland Empire), Lost Girl (Inland Empire), Fanart, Fanfiction
Regardless of our personal reading of the connection between the three protagonists of the movie, we can mostly agree that they... succeeded... in... breaking a cycle... overcoming... some... things. Personally, I mostly see the Lost Girl being the 'reality layer', projecting her issues on a piece of fiction (Susan) and then the actress portraying those issues (Nikki), but I also see the merits in the more widespread theory that sees them as subsequent incarnations or whatever. Anyway. The thing is, they overcame whatever it is that they had to overcome (discussing the intepretations of which would exceed the purpose of this prompt), and I'd like to see them celebrate together. For art, a hug? A toast? Dancing together in the credits? For fic, anything that explores the connection between them, but on a happier note?
Request 4 by laughingpineapple Twin Peaks ToT: Treat, Albert Rosenfield, Tamara "Tammy" Preston, Harry Truman (Twin Peaks), Diane Evans (Twin Peaks), Fanart, Fanfiction
DNW: Dale/Audrey, Dale/Diane, Albert/Constance, Albert/Diane, Albert/Tammy (for a couple of these it wouldn't be a straight-up NOTP but it's so complicated that I'd rather DNW it entirely)
Treats only because the TPTR finale is still a fresh wound and I need them to be happy... I'm also waiting for The Final Dossier before finalizing my thoughts on Gordon (and on the aspects of Diane related to Coop) so I'm keeping him out of my prompts for this round.
Any cute little situation featuring one or more of the nominated characters would be great, for fic or art: Harry and his chickens? Tammy and Diane having a chat at the bar? Albert chilling? I love the whole cast, so anything featuring the nominated characters along with other non-nominated characters in their lives is also great: double Sheriffs Harry and Frank? Albert and Denise having a drink? Did Diane exchange a word with Constance? Did Tammy get Cynthia's number that day? For Harry, I ship him with Dale, Albert or both, and I'm invested in his ties to Frank and Doris (need me some positive Doris content!), Hawk, and Lucy. For Diane and her tulpa, I am mostly invested in her friendship with Albert (past and present) and her potential interactions with Tammy. For Tammy, I ship her with Cynthia (and... we sort of have word of god that she was checking out Candie but idk how that would work?) and I'm invested in her being Albert's and Denise's pupil and meeting other characters. For Albert, I ship him with Harry, Dale or both, and I am absurdly delighted by all the friendships and mentorships with the women in his life: Diane, Tammy, Denise, Constance. Also his friendship with Gordon, which is so very central to Albert, but as I said, I don't know what to think about Gordon until TFD comes out so I'm not requesting him for now.
Cute slice of life in the new timeline? My forever ship is Cabanela/Jowd/Alma, but I'm just as fervently into all the found family ties the game weaves between its cast. Any of my nominated characters interacting with Sissel is always a great idea, as is Pigeon Man mentoring Kamila in sciencey things, Cabanela and Pigeon Man being UFO conspiracy nuts, any variation on the bond between Jowd and Cabanela, and so much more...
Request 6 by laughingpineapple Myst Series ToT: Trick, Fanart, Fanfiction, Any Character
Ghost stories in the Cavern! Any of the nominated characters (or combination thereof) runs into something spooky. Any time period, and the spooky thing can reference D'ni history as heavily as you want (or not at all). I'd like to feel the Cavern as a setting, at its eeriest... For the record, I'm as invested in Atrus and Catherine as your average Myst player, and also have a big thing for the friendships/mentorships between Yeesha and Jeff, Yeesha and Marrim, Atrus and Marrim, and Anna and Catherine!
Request 7 by laughingpineapple Obduction (Video Game) ToT: Treat, ToT: Trick, Fanart, Fanfiction, Any Character
I'm still at the phase where I need all the character interaction in any possible (gen) combination, so: any character interaction, in any possible gen combination, please. Hunrath can provide plenty of opportunities for both tricks and treats: tell me a cool little thing that once happened to Farley, CW and/or Josef that is specific to that setting. Did a seed swap in something special from the past or future? What weird thing did they witness on the Sorian horizon? Feel free to bring in anyone else, human or alien, who gets mentioned in the various documents!
