Dear Trick or Treat Creator,

It’s my favorite time of year: horror and Halloween and fall weather and Trick or Treat.

I unexpectedly had to miss Trick or Treat last year, and spooky season just wasn't the same!

Do Not Wants and general likes, followed by fandom-specific details, below. If there’s a discrepancy between the DNWs/general likes and the fandom-specific details, go with the fandom-specific. Mixing and matching fandoms and prompts welcome, as is making any prompt a trick or a treat.

My absolute favorite things: werewolves, crossovers and alternate universes (the stranger and more unusual the better), and monsters and magic.

I requested fic and tricks and treats. For the freeform tags: I am interested in extra gifts for the community challenge that don’t fit my requests. You may ignore my art/fic preferences for extra gifts.

My AO3 name is escritoireazul

+ alternate universes, a non-exhaustive list: werewolves, witches and witch hunters, IN SPACE, horror movies, haunted summer camps, ghost hunters (including this state-mandated idea), portal fantasies, monsters, canon divergence, weird west/wild west (I particularly like the outlaw feel of it, untamed and wild, big spaces with nowhere to hide, big woods claustrophobic around you, danger at every turn, as long as the AU avoids the magical Indian/savage Indian/white savior bullshit that can show up in weird west and westerns in general)
+ monsters of the week, casefic, adventure stories, mysteries
+ friends and family teaming up to save the world, particularly on road trips, and becoming chosen family along the way
+ crossovers and fusions so long as my requested characters are the main characters

Community Challenge: Battle of the Bands

Details about this year's community challenge can be found here. I'm interested in Battle of the Bands for all of my requested fandoms. I'm open to creators drawing inspiration from any song, really, but below the cut are some of my favorites from the list.

( Battle of the Bands songs )

I've had zero chance to read any fic since my last rec post, but work should slow down next week, finally, and even though I'll be traveling some after that, I hope to at least get through the rest of the Trick or Treat and Shipoween collections. Not to mention the backlog of fic I have saved that my favorite authors have posted. I need a vacation that is all reading fic all the time.

For Trick or Treat and Shipoween, I wrote six stories in four new fandoms and one old fandom. It was also a werewolf-heavy writing period, which you know I loved.

trickortreatex is back this year, and I think you should join me in the fun. Info here. It's a fic exchange, has a low minimum word count, does not require horror or Halloween themed anything but I've gotten some amazing fic for horror canons, has a treat-heavy culture, and does fic and art. It's great fun!

I have no idea what I'm nominating yet. Nominations open Sep 1, so I should probably figure that out sometime soon.
