PG-13; Fear the Walking Dead x Grimm, 4400 words. Set in Season 1 x Season 5.

All Tobias cared about now was the sound of shuffling feet scraping across the gravel after him-- and the sound of an aging car's brakes somewhere up ahead. Possibly another threat; but possibly a source of help? Either way, at least whoever-it-was was alive.

Whatever John and his mom had done trying to stop the iteration where everything ended on April 21, 2011 had apparently rearranged the timeline enough for more than one competing AI to enter the picture...

I know I said I was going to put this up weeks ago, but between the yearly vacay and other exchanges I was in and family-related RL frustrations, I've been a bit low on energy. But I have time now, and I could use the nudge to get my writerly butt in gear again. So; let's give this a go!

What is the Wishlist?

The Wishlist is a multi-fandom fanfiction fest. It started very small and simple several years ago: the premise was simply to write twenty-four ficlets in response to twenty-four prompts, to be posted in December. Fandom gifts, if you will.

The

wishlist_fic community is no longer active, but I participated for several years, and it was a good source of motivation to me to keep writing, so I'm going to collect another 24 prompts this year and see how it goes. :) I can make no promises on exactly when things go up, but I can promise that they will eventually all go up!

(For reference, see my progress on the previous list, stalled for canon review, hopefully all to be finished in November; you'll find the fully completed lists linked there for 2010-2014 as well.)

Rules

I accept the first 24 prompts I am given, regardless of who you are or if I know you.
(ALL PROMPTS CLAIMED)

You give me characters/pairing, a fandom and a prompt. (Please don't skip the prompt part).

If you don't have an LJ account, you can give your DW/IJ/TtH/AO3/whatever name in an anonymous comment, but do make sure to sign it. If you do not sign with a name I will not use your prompt; I have to have some way to link you the story.

If I'm not offering the fandom you're requesting, I reserve the right to refuse the prompt.

The current offerings list is: Buffy/Angel-verse (no comics); Stargate SG-1; Firefly/Serenity; Star Trek AOS or TOS; King Arthur: Legend of the Sword; The Marvel Cinematic Universe (Movie-based only); the Fast and the Furious series; Leverage; The Last Ship; Sleepy Hollow (Seasons 1-3); the Riddick-verse; Jurassic Park/World; Pacific Rim; John Wick; and the Mummy-verse (Brendan Fraser version).

ETA: Person of Interest, Transformers movies, Star Wars!

(I do sometimes take other requests, especially for canons on my current viewing list or continuations of other short-stories/fic series on a case-by-case basis; if it doesn't fit the above fandom list, feel free to ask, but I reserve the right to ask you to find another prompt.)

If I find your prompt in any way offensive, I will disregard it, too. Fair warning.

Your prompts can be for one fandom only, or a crossover (fusions on a case-by-case basis, and only with fandoms I've written in before) and should be in line with what I usually write. (That's a loose guideline, I know, but basically don't be deliberately ornery, okay?) It can be a quote, an idea, a specific situation, but it really helps to have something to aim for. Throwing Character X/Character Y, 'whatever' at me is going to get you 'whatever'.

(HOWEVER: If your prompt is > 25 words, or if you request an idea that can't reasonably be covered in 500-3000 words? See again: whatever. I'm not a magic story-writing machine, and I have a full time job; the less review/plotting time your idea needs, the quicker I can write it!)

I answer the prompts in the order I like best and post them starting in Dec 2017. (Sometimes RL events slow me down, particularly the last few years, but I will always get there eventually).

And that's it! Prompt away! (Whichever site you respond on - I'll keep a running total and close the list when it reaches 24).

Brian had never asked for that kind of recognition, just the power to protect his family. Though possibly, that was what had gotten him into this situation in the first place.... Possibly, it was what had always gotten him into these kinds of situations, he admitted wryly.

"And on that cheery note," Sam snarked, patting Bee on the roof as he and Mikaela returned to their seats. "Unless anyone's got a different idea-- then Jordan, here we come."

The mech transformed like an old man cracking his back in an attempt to stand up straight, but when it was done, he was even bigger and bristlier than Optimus. Mikaela watched tensely as red eyes blinked open and the Seeker turned its head to take in its surroundings.

PG-13; Firefly x The Walking Dead, 2000 words. Late-season TWD, no specific spoilers.

No minds to read, not even the voiceless ghosts of Miranda; someone has made these people into things, and that thought makes River's feet itch to begin their dance.

So, the shrewd eye may have noticed that I'm still significantly behind in posting last year's Wishlist stories, and that the prompt post for the next edition hasn't yet gone up.

There are multiple reasons for this. One is that the maintainer of

wishlist_fic isn't officially running the challenge as a group event again this year. Another is that I participated in three big bangs this year, which might've proved that I actually can write and finish something of novel length in a respectable amount of time, but soaked up a lot of energy. A third is that RL bullshit has socked me in the jaw several times, and how long it takes my muse to come back from that is always a crapshoot.

Anyway ... I decided for my own sanity that I was going to delay opening the prompt post until January 1, after the

yuletide writing season ends, and start posting those stories in February 2017. Hopefully, I'll be caught up by then.

All of which is to say: yes, the prompt post is late this year. But it's still going to happen! So watch this space. When I open that post, it'll be first come, first served; the first 24 prompts will be the only ones I take all year. :)

PG-13, B:tVS x Fast & Furious 6; 1600 words. Post-series and mid-movie.

It was pretty obvious to Eliot that if a guy like Vic Hoskins was sponsoring the raptor project, he wasn't thinking 'theme park exhibit' or 'research papers.'

The Dinosaur Job

PG-13, Iron Man (MCU) x B:tVS; 2100 words. Follows Dawn, Insert Last Name Here.

Everything about Dawn Summers' appearance, even the fact of her existence, was all backwards. It was the most interesting puzzle Tony had been presented with in quite some time.
