First off - thank you for writing for me! I am sure no matter what you decide to go with, I will love it! Secondly, chunks of this letter are copy/pasted from previous letters. I’m lazy and signing up for too many of these. I also have a general Likes/Do No Wants post, if you would prefer to just give that a look instead of reading my thoughts and possible prompts included in this one. The contents of this letter are merely a guideline/suggestions that you are under no pressure to really adhere to beyond my DNWs. :)

Fandoms -

The Howling -

Characters: Marsha Quist, Karen White
Optional Pairings: Marsha/Karen

Optional Prompts -

• Anything set post movie with Marsha, perhaps forming a new pack. All the sequels can be ignored, but if you want to bring any later canon into play I am okay with that too!

• AU where Karen lives and just tries to deal with being a werewolf.

• Marsha zeroes in on Karen, despite her brother’s interest in Karen, and decides to try and bring her into the fold and show her that this isn’t a curse

Blade - 

Characters: Jared Nomak, Nyssa Damaskinos, Blade/Erik Brooks, Karen Jenson, Abigail Whistler
Optional Pairings: Nomak/Abigail, Blade/Karen, Nomak/Nyssa, Abigail/Karen

Optional Prompts - 

• Karen is part of the Nightstalkers and is there during the events of Blade: Trinity and reunites with Blade

• Nomak gets more time around his sister

The Covenant - 

Characters: Sarah Wenham, Kate Tunney, Caleb Danvers, Chase Collins
Optional Pairings: Chase/Caleb/Sarah, Sarah/Kate, Caleb/Sarah, Chase/Caleb, Caleb/Sarah/Kate, Chase/Caleb/Sarah/Kate

Optional Prompts -

• Chase learns some patience and tries to woo Caleb (and maybe Sarah) to emotionally manipulate rather than emotionally blackmail

• Kate has a secret crush on Caleb

• Kate has a secret crush on Caleb - and Sarah figures it out (She also doesn’t mind sharing.)

• Kate and Sarah run far away from those witch boys and all their magic nonsense

• Masked ball

• Instead of witches, the boys are vampires - bonus points if the girls are werewolves

• There are no witches but there is an abandoned, supposedly haunted house, and that is where our cast of characters finds themselves on Halloween night

Dracula Untold -

Characters: Vlad Tepes, Mirena Tepes

Optional Pairings: Alec/Abby

Optional Prompts -

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Characters: Nancy Holbrook, Kris Fowles, Dean Russell, Freddy Krueger, Gwen Holbrook

Optional Pairings: Nancy/Kris, Kris/Dean, Dean/Nancy, Dean/Kris/Nancy

Optional Prompts - 

• Honestly, give me all the messy, clingy, co-dependent AUs where Kris and/or Dean survive and this kids bond through their shared trauma and coming out alive from their past literally coming back to haunt them

• Normally I don’t like these, but I appreciate the irony of a Nancy-centric coffee shop AU

• Gwen and Nancy after it all (and ignoring the ending as anything more than just a nightmare)

• Nancy sees the other Elm Street kids in her dreams, especially Dean and Nancy - sometimes as their kid selves and sometimes as the age they died

• Freddy being the absolute worst

• And then getting the absolute shit beat out of him, preferably with a baseball bat, preferably by Nancy (and Kris?)

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters -

Characters: Edward, Gretel, Muriel
Optional Pairings: Gretel/Edward, Muriel/Gretel

Optional Prompts - 

• Edward settling into life with Gretel and her brother

• Gretel starts learning more magic, and Edward covers for her

Characters: Ben Hanscom, Beverly Marsh

Optional Pairings: Ben/Beverly

Optional Prompts -
