- Just more of their silly canon-esque Shenanigans would be perfect for me! Whether it's a missing scene from the podcast timeline, or something during the time they were travelling together before the show, or post-canon - any setting would be great! Just them having wild and wacky adventures :D This is one of my all time favourite podcasts so like, literally anything about these guys would be awesome!
- Post-canon holiday shenanigans on Elo - I'm sad we never got the Campaign Beach Episode, and I think that should be fixed! I vaguely remember a mention of them possibly running a resort there (I think in the final Binbon & Jubna episode? It's been a while since I listened to that) so how did that happen?
- Alternately, if you wanted to go in a different post-canon direction, I would be totally cool with that! Take the crew to your favourite Star Wars location and let loose the havoc xD I would also be super interested in the characters meeting up with other NPCs from the show again, like Talon or Rendezvous or Aava, and/or any other canon characters you think it'd be funny for these guys to meet. Maybe they finally get back to the actual Rebellion?
- Post-canon arc where they have to get D20 back from Kamino, including a lot of wrangling with the Empire and angst for Bacta over going back to his "homeworld"?
- If you'd like to include shipping, I like Zero/Blue, any combo of Tryst/Bacta/Leenik, Lyn/hot women, Tryst/the most unadvisable person you can think of xD
What Is It And Where To Find It: An actual play podcast! You can find almost every episode on Spotify, and it should also be wherever you usually listen to podcasts!
Qing Ming
- I loved their enemies-to-friends dynamic in the movie, and I'd love to see them take that final step to being lovers!
- Anything where they fix some kind of supernatural problem/defeat some kind of creature while also pining/getting together would be awesome!
- I absolutely loved that first fight between the two of them, so maybe some sexy sparring?
- Building on the above suggestion, I had this sort of vaguely identity porn-ish idea of one of them (probably Qing Ming) disguising himself to fight with the other without them knowing who it is. Eventually the other works it out, but they probably keep pretending they don't know out of amusement. Or maybe they're both pretending they don't know just for the fun of it?
What Is It And Where To Find It: This is a standalone movie, and it's on Netflix as The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity
Jack Miller
I love everything about this book, from the plot to the setting to the characters to the horror. Go as scary as you like with your fic, I will love it! I love Jack and his prickly exterior that hides a softer centre, and how determined he is to not let everybody else down and to complete their task out on the island. I love how he’s either not really aware of being in love with Gus at first, or tries to hide it in his written journals. I love how Gus is like an action hero but doesn’t seem to realise it, and he’s just so earnest and well-meaning despite sometimes putting his foot in his mouth.
Prompts:
- Any kind of Gus Lives!AU. Maybe Jack manages to save him right at the end?
- I would love some post-canon AU feels where Gus and Jack work out they’re into each other and how to go forward with their lives.
- I would absolutely love if by some circumstance Algie had to leave Gruhuken sometime after they arrived (perhaps he’s the one who gets appendicitis?) which leaves Gus and Jack on their own confronting the monster. Would love if this included any sort of huddling for warmth/Canadian shack type tropes, or saving one another from the monster, or helping each other hold onto their sanity when they think they’re going mad. And I would love if Algie came in at the eleventh hour to save them just like in canon (but no one dies please!)
Fandom Specific DNW: Isaak dying or any bad things happening to him.
What Is It And Where To Find It: A short standalone novel (about 250 pages in my copy), should be available wherever you buy books!
Guardian of The Forgotten Shrine
Guardian of The Well That Never Runs Dry
I absolutely love the little worlds that these pieces create, and I would love to know anything more about them!
For each place - how was it built? Who lived there while it was inhabited? How did it come to be abandoned? How did the Guardian come to be there - were they there before the people left, or did they move in afterward? I would love to see how either the people who originally inhabited the structure or those who come exploring afterward interact with each guardian.
The Forgotten Shrine - Feel free to dig into the story given in the video description if you like, about the man who intended to commit suicide by jumping into the ocean at the shrine. What's his story? Why did he want to die, and why did he pick such an odd location to do it? Why did the shrine guardian save him? What does he do afterward? Perhaps he goes back to try and revive the shrine as a form of thanks to the guardian? Or go completely in your own direction with this - I would be interested in knowing how this shrine came to be, where it is, and maybe something about someone re-discovering it/wanting to revive it.
The Well That Never Runs Dry - Again, feel free to use the description in the video or not. Is the creature in the well really the incarnation of a god? Does the water there really heal the sick? Perhaps someone has gone on a pilgrimage/desperate quest to get the water to help heal someone important to them? And who originally discovered the well and its properties? Were they led to it by the god/guardian? Do you have to pass some kind of test in order to get the well water?
The Castle of Silence - In the video he says he envisions the Guardian as a "servant waiting for the King's triumphal return", and I love the idea of the heir to this kingdom? bloodline? castle? coming back and discovering this terrifying monster - who isn't actually so terrifying, really, because they've been a friend of this person's family for hundreds of years. So who is this person and what are they the heir to? Why do they have to reclaim it? How do they relate to this monster that's potentially hundreds or thousands of years old now?
What Is It And Where To Find It: This is Thalasso Hobbyer's youtube channel, where you can find all three videos
Kyle Murchison Booth
I love the horror stories and creepiness of this canon, and how much Booth resents and fears being caught up in all of it. I also love how he seems pretty genre-savvy most of the time, with his general knowledge about ghosts/demons/the supernatural, even when he’s also very afraid. I loved Ratcliffe because he’s the kind of person who’s clearly made himself better and grown out of the nastier person he used to be, and also because he was so instantly down with the idea of the supernatural and instantly coming up with practical ways to solve the situation.
Prompts:
- Just any case-fic or monster-of-the-week type story, whether Ratcliffe turns up or if it’s just Booth alone like in the short stories
- Vampires. I love vampires, and Booth’s already encountered werewolves, so why not their (supposed) natural enemies? A very hot vampire gentleman flirting with and menacing Booth would be ideal.
- I do ship Booth/Ratcliffe so feel free to go there in any way you see fit! Awkward flirting/first times? Get togethers? Casefic with a romantic element? I'd love all of that.
- If you wanted to go for smut I would love that! Either fluffy/romantic between Ratcliffe/Booth or Booth/OMC, or I would also be very into non- or dub-con between Booth and an antagonistic OMC, especially if the OMC is monstrous somehow! (Non-con DNW doesn't apply for this particular request!)
Fandom Specific DNWs: Booth/any female character or OC (shipping him with a male OC is fine and encouraged though!)
What Is It And Where To Find It: A standalone book of connected short stories, should be available to buy wherever you get books!
Randolph Carter
Prompts:
- Maybe Nyarlathotep decides to keep Carter instead of sending him off into the sky at the end of Dreamquest?
- Nyarlathotep trying to gain influence/control over Carter, or claim his soul/corrupts him somehow?
- Maybe Nyarlathotep gets close to Carter in the guise of someone Carter trusts, or someone he meets and begins to trust/fall for, and only reveals his true nature much later (maybe just as they're starting to have sex, if you're willing to include smut?)
- If you're willing to go for xeno/eldritch porn with these two I will take anything honestly, especially if Nyarlathotep gloats about having Carter in his clutches/in such a vulnerable position. Would absolutely be up for non- or dub-con in this request! (Noncon DNW doesn't apply!)

I left the character field blank here - feel free to write about anyone nominated/any of the crew or characters from the show!- Just more of their silly canon-esque Shenanigans would be perfect for me!
