Christmas fic/art request thread

Post by c_nordlander » Sun Nov 01, 2020 3:06 pm

This year is... certainly a year. So, what better way to get through the death-throes than to revive our tradition of Christmas requests? Doesn't have to be Groening fanworks, can be original or from another fandom. (Though if you want to request something from another franchise, obviously that's dependent on the creator being familiar with it.)

Post in this thread if you're volunteering to do requests. If you want to request a work, you can either do it here so a creator can pick it up, or PM a volunteering creator if you don't want to go public.


Starting this off, I'm free to do 1 story (roughly <10 pages each), fanfic or original doesn't matter. Will update this post if the slots fill up.

OK, I'll put down for two drawings! Nothing too complex, I'm still getting used to the tablet.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

This could be fun. Okay, I'll do a drawing for someone.

Over in DA land I've stopped taking requests. Originally I liked doing them. It was fun doing odd characters/situations that I just simply would have never thought of. But... Also they became a pain. The requestee keeps changing/modifying/critiquing ideas, and then comes back with more "concepts" that they insist I draw. And the sheer volume, Ohmigawd! It got pretty crazy.

I can totally relate to all of this. It's great to have an excuse to leave your comfort zone sometimes, but the people giving the requests/commissions need to show basic respect for the artist.

And thanks for coming aboard, both you and Steve!

OK, I have a request:

Since Venture Brothers ended this year, I'd like to request an epilogue fanfic, showing what happens after the show ended. It can focus on one character (it's up to the author to decide which one), or several. Doesn't have to be very long.

For completeness' sake, my fic written to Missy's request (a Leela-centric Futurama fic) has been posted here: The Fugitive of Alcazar
