Dear Yuletide Author [2018]

Hello!

I'm already excited that you've been matched to me. My username on AO3 is cookiethelion, although all my fics are under the pseudonym Biscuit Lion. Here are some things that I like/dislike:

Likes:

• Fluff, cuddling, happy endings


• Crack!fics


• AUs, AU fusions and crossovers, preferably of the more fantastical kind


• Friends to lovers trope


• Interactive fiction


• I would prefer something with plot and characterisation rather than PWP

Dislikes:

• Gender swap, race swap


• Anything involving pregnancy


• Character bashing


• Extreme violence and gore


• Character death


• Nothing too angsty please

If I've requested more than one characters/groups for my individual fandoms, I don't mind if you don't write them all in the same fic. Also, you don't have to stick to the suggestions for my requests; if you have another idea in mind, please go ahead and write it! I'm looking forward to seeing what you've written.


복면가왕 | King of Mask Singer (TV)
Requested characters: Kim Kyung-ho, Sohyang, Sunwoo Jung-a

I'd love some kind of superhero/superpower/magical girl AU, since everyone's got double identities. What if there are some strange goings-on in the studio, and the show is just a front for these magical individuals to gather without raising suspicions? How much do the regular panellists who haven't been contestants on the show before know? Would Kim Sung-joo be aware of these issues as well?

Or what about an AU where everyone is literally competing to be the King or Queen of a country? If you look at the list of previous Kings and Queens, it does read a lot like a real line of succession; the majority of rulers weren't on the throne for very long, with stable reigns few and far in-between. What amuses me is that after Sohyang's departure, the show went through five Kings and Queens so fast that even Kim Sung-joo was like "this is really unusual, this has never happened before"; what if Sohyang's departure triggered a curse? What if Sunwoo Jung-a had found a way to stop the curse? If you fancy fusing the two suggested AUs together, go for it!

If you want to keep things more normal, how about a fic where Kim Kyung-ho competes in the show again for the throne, and possibly becomes the new King? I really adore him; here he is performing Sling (the performance contains flashing lights) and then his take on Amor Fati, how is it even possible that he's masculine, charasmatic, and yet so cute and adorable at the same time? If he tries to compete for the throne again, would he try his best to hide his identity, or would it be obvious again like the first time? Would he try behaving more like an idol? What songs would he sing? Since Kim Kyung-ho is now a member of FOURever along with Kim Jong-seo, Park Wan-kyu, and Kim Tae-won (they went on Happy Together to promote the group; their interview is only about 40 minutes long), what if the KoMS staff decide to promote the group even further by getting Kim Jong-seo and Park Wan-kyu on the show again, and they end up being his first challengers? How fast would Kim Kyung-ho recognise them? How much teasing would there be between them, both on- and off-stage?

If you want to write in other Kings, Queens, contestants, panellists, etc, please feel free. I watch Immortal Songs as well, and my favourite K-pop group is Twice.


Taskmaster (UK TV) RPF
Requested characters: James Acaster, Josh Widdicombe, Phil Wang

I really like series 7, so I'd love something focusing on the series 7 contestants. I love how surreal the little pre-task clips are in the seventh series. What if there is a magical element to the house, and the series 7 contestants/teams are set a really surreal task that makes use of this mysterious magical element? How would it affect the task, and how would the contestants take it? Is it a team task, or is it a solo task?

Since James "won" Phil, I'd love a fanfic about what happened after James took Phil home with him. Did James plan this all along? Is he treating Phil like a butler, or is it more of a reluctant roommate situation? If you want to write a slash fic, be my guest.

I got a really good James/Josh fanfic for another exchange, and that's just whet my appetite for more now. I'd love a fic where Josh comes back to help with a task. Are the two of them already dating at this point, or is this Alex's attempt at pushing them together? If you want to do an AU where the two of them are on the same series as each other, that's fine with me.

If you want to write in Rhod, Kerry, and Jess as well, please feel free. Same goes for the other contestants who have been on the show.


BDZ - Twice (Music Video)
Requested characters: Any

Music video

There's so much plot wrapped up in the video! For a start, how did the girls get together in the first place? How long did it take for them to work out how to rescue the Lovelies? Were they all spies and hackers prior to the Lovelies being captured, or did they have to train themselves to do it? How did they obtain the bulldozer in the first place, and whose idea was it to have the bulldozer?

What amused me about the video as well is how much of a mini-diva Chaeyoung is. She had to get Nayeon to carry her through the window, and there is a shot of her holding hands with Dahyun whilst they're in the office with the pizza. Is there a little love triangle going on there? Or is Chaeyoung just very flirty with the team in general?
