Hey there!

So happy this exchange has rolled around again. I love longfic (and fancomics!) for the opportunity to really dive into a setting or character or ship and get comfortable in the dynamic. So excited to see what gets cooked up!

I am a serial recycler of prompts, but if none of these hit the spot, feel free to pick one from an old letter if I've requested the canon before. (Including prompts that may have been filled before; I will happily consume as many takes on the same premise for these characters/ships as get put into the world.) Hopefully, though, everything you need to create a gift for me can be found below. I would love to see each and every one of these prompts/likes/what have you in either fic or opt-in form! If anything’s confusing, or you'd like even more thoughts/ideas/prompts, I’m more than happy to answer any questions sent through the mod.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Hey there!

As ever, I'm just here, excited for both the challenge of creating for FIAB and to see what kind of work any one (or more) of these requests inspires!

For medium opt-ins, I truly mean any art medium or in-universe documentation! I picked a few out of the tagset because those were the ones that I had immediate ideas for, but do not feel like you have to limit yourself to those choices. Go as wild as you like!

Can't wait to see what you create!

Hello Crossover-er!

I'm so excited this exchange is back in action! It's such a highlight of my exchange calendar, so let's get right into it. This letter is almost entirely recycled, but I'm as (if not more) excited for these requests as I was last time around. I just love all of these canons and their characters (for real, any of them; however major or minor a player) so, so much, and getting to see any of them interact with a new world or a whole new set of characters sparks so much joy.

A couple of things that apply to all my requests:

For the most part, I'm not picky about ships or ratings. I generally like the canon romances, but I'm not at all opposed to cross-canon and non-canon couples. Absolutely any gen/platonic grouping is fair game to include.
For requests with three fandoms, I'd be thrilled with a three-way mashup of canons/characters, though I don't currently have specific prompts to help you along on that front. If you'd like one, though, feel free to ask through the mod.
If you recognize any of the other canons I’ve requested but we didn’t match on, and want to include a little easter egg/stealth crossover in your assignment, that would be an awesome bonus (but not remotely expected)!

Basically, I would love your take—however direct, tangential, literal, figurative, etc., etc.—on any of these prompts. They are, however, just meant to be jumping off points, so if they inspire something that takes off in a different direction, go with your muse! Feel free to use an art prompt for a fic (or vice versa) or mix and match between fandoms.

Thanks in advance and can't wait to see what you make!

Hey there!

Ready for the mad dash to reveals? Not sure that I am, but I always have fun with this exchange, and I hope you do too! I really love all these fandoms/characters/ships, so anything you create for them and takes even one or two likes or prompts into consideration will be a delight! However direct, tangential, literal, or figurative your take on basically anything you find in this letter, I'm sure I will enjoy it! I'm hoping that all the prompts I've left could work for a fic or a comic, but feel free to ask for comic-specific prompts if that would be helpful!

Absolutely best of luck and can't wait to see what you make!

Dear Yuletider,

Season's greetings! By "season," I, of course, mean Exchange Season. Very happy to be here and hope you are too! Also hoping to fit everything you could possibly need to write me a fic into this letter—which is not to say you need to read all or even most of it. I love these canons and characters so much and am always excited about new fic for them; a gift that incorporates some of my likes or a prompt would be the icing on the Yuletide cake.

I have requested most of these canons/characters before, so feel free to use a prompt from an old letter (including prompts that may have been filled before: I will happily consume as many takes on the same premise for these characters/ships as get put into the world). Hopefully, though, everything you need to create a gift for me can be found below. I would love to see each and every one of these prompts/likes/what have you in pretty much any combination! If anything’s confusing, or you'd like even more thoughts/ideas/prompts, I’m more than happy to answer any questions sent through the mods.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Dear Trick or Treater,

I always have such a fun time in this exchange and am so pumped to see what you have in store for me! If you're at all interested in more info than this letter (or any older ones) provides, you can find me on ao3:

elegantstupidity or tumblr:

megaphonemonday. Absolutely don't feel like you have to, though, because:

This letter is pretty long, especially for a low-minimum exchange. If you use even one or two things that you find here to make your gift, I will be thrilled. Feel free to pick and choose what you like and ignore the rest. While I'd love something for any of the prompts below (most of which hopefully are open-ended enough to go either trick or treat), I'm not married to them. Write a fic for an art prompt or draw something for a fic or take a prompt from one fandom to create for another or pick a like or two from the list and go with that idea you already had! Basically, I'm pretty easy to please and will appreciate anything you create!

Thanks in advance and see you on the other side!

Hi! Hello!

Yay Fic in a Box Time! As ever, I'm just here, excited for the challenge and to see what any one of these requests inspires!

I have requested most of these canons before, so feel free to use a prompt from an old letter (including prompts that may have been filled before: I will happily consume as many takes on the same premise for these characters/ships as get put into the world). Hopefully, though, everything you need to create a gift for me can be found below. I would love to see each and every one of these prompts/likes/what have you in either fic or comic form!

For medium opt-ins, I truly mean any art medium and any in-universe documentation! I picked a few out of the tagset because those were the ones that I had immediate ideas for, but do not feel like you have to limit yourself to those choices. Go as wild as you like!

(If this letter seems suspiciously familiar, it probably is. This is basically a duplicate of my FFFX letter + some freeform ideas. I don't foresee getting to sub in any new prompts before assignments go out, but there's a slim chance?)

Can't wait to see what you create!

Hi! Hello!

For how much of the calendar it takes up, it's always a surprise when FFFX rolls around again. A nice surprise, though! As ever, I'm just here, excited for the challenge and to see what any one of these requests inspires!

Hi! Hello! Let's get cracking, shall we?

Hopefully, this letter contains all and more than you could possibly need to create for me, but please feel free to ask for clarifications/more info! I'm generally very easy to please. Incorporating any of my prompts or likes would be a huge bonus, but pretty much anything about the characters/ships I've requested is going to be a winner in my book.

Thanks in advance and let's get through this together! See you on the other side!

Dear Yuletider,

Hi! Hello! So happy to be here and glad you're here, too! Hopefully, everything you could need to write a fic for me can be found right in this letter. If not, I'm happy to answer any questions you send through the mods.

Long, short; ship, gen; G-rated or explicit: I am very prepared to be delighted by what you create! Where I've requested more than one character, don't feel as though you need to focus equally on each; as long as they all show up, I am set.

Thanks in advance and see you on the other side!

Hi there!

Fic in a Box is always so much fun, and I'm so excited to see what you come up with!

For medium opt-ins, feel free to get as creative as you like! I've listed a few tags that seemed particularly appropriate or caught my eye, but absolutely don't feel like you have to limit yourself to those! Any absolutely means any. I'll be thrilled with something solely made up of the opt-ins or traditional fic or some mix of them. I'm pretty flexible with what I'd consider In-Universe/fitting the canon, and I'd be thrilled with documents that are text- or image-based (or both). For art, I will be over the moon with basically anything—doodles and sketches are as appreciated as fully polished masterpieces—for these characters/ships. If you'd like specific prompts for any tag, feel free to ask and I'm more than happy to come up with some.

I have probably requested these canons before, so feel free to use a prompt from an old letter, but hopefully anything you need to create a gift for me can be found right here. I would love to see each and every one of these prompts in either fic or opt-in form. If anything’s confusing, I’m more than happy to answer any questions sent through the mod.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Hello!

I can't even believe it's time for FFFX again! As much as I look forward to the challenge every year, I can't say I'm not just as excited to see what gets cooked up for me!

Hello Crossover-er!

This event is always such a highlight of the exchange calendar, and I'm so excited it's that time of year again! And unprepared; this letter is almost entirely recycled from last year, but I'm as (if not more) excited for these requests as I was last year. I just love all of these canons and their characters (for real, any of them; however major or minor a player) so, so much, and getting to see any of them interact with a new world or a whole new set of characters sparks so much joy.

A couple of things that apply to all my requests:

I'm caught up on everything that's recently/currently airing, so no need to worry about spoilers.
For the most part, I'm not very picky about ships or ratings. I generally like the canon romances, but I'm not at all opposed to cross-canon or non-canon couples, either. Absolutely any gen/platonic grouping is fair game to include.
For requests with three fandoms, I'd be thrilled with a three-way mashup of canons/characters, though I don't currently have specific prompts to help you along on that front. If you'd like one, though, feel free to ask through the mod.
If you recognize any of the other canons I’ve requested but we didn’t match on, and want to include a little easter egg/stealth crossover in your assignment, that would be an awesome bonus (but not remotely expected)!

Basically, I would love your take—however direct, tangential, literal, figurative, etc., etc.—on any of these prompts. They are, however, just meant to be jumping off points, so if they inspire something that takes off in a different direction, go with your muse! Feel free to use an art prompt for a fic (or vice versa) or mix and match between fandoms.

ETA: I totally forgot to include this in my sign up, but treats are enabled!

Thanks in advance and can't wait to see what you make!

Hello!

So excited for another round of this exchange!

I love each of these tags and am so intrigued to see what you do with them. I'm someone who likes prompts, so I've listed some ideas for each, but don't feel like you have to stick to them. I'm open to all kinds of worldbuilding or settings; feel free to go as wild (or not) as you like on those fronts! Where the genders of characters aren't specified, I’m not particularly picky about the gender configurations for ships, but I do love fics that feature woman character(s) somewhere. Last, I'm very happy to read pre-ship flirting/tension/etc. for any /-requests; anything from a hat tip in the direction of romantic/sexual feelings to passionate declarations of love or on-screen smut is great!

Thanks in advance!

Hey there! Let's get right down to it.

A lot of this letter is cobbled together from old signups. But whether there are new prompts or not, I am as enthusiastic, if not more, about these suggestions as I was when I first requested them. Even for prompts that have been filled since then; I'm always here for multiple takes on the same premise! Hopefully, these prompts work for either a fic or a comic, but if you'd like more ideas, feel free to shoot me a request through the mod.

Thanks in advance and see you on the other side!

Hello!

Every year I say it, and every year I mean it: I can't believe it's time for Yuletide again. Can't believe it, but I am super excited for it!

If you're someone who wants even more prompts/thoughts/whatever to look through, you can always check my past letters or poke around my tumblr (

megaphonemonday). All of these fandoms aren't equally represented there, but that's not not at all an indicator of my enthusiasm; I will be delighted to receive fic for any of these fandoms!

I'd also be delighted with ship or gen (or somewhere in between), long or short, and G- through E-rated fic. Also, where I've requested more than one character, don't feel as though you need to focus equally on each. Feel free to include any other canon characters and/or relationships in your fic as well.

Essentially, I'm not particularly picky. I'd absolutely love any kind of take on any of the following prompts, but pretty much any fic about these characters would be wonderful and will be greatly appreciated!
