So let’s talk about Halloween/spooky stuff I love.  Feel free to apply to any prompt as applicable.

I love Halloween like we experienced it in the 80s.  Dressing up, having fun, candy candy candy.

Phantom hitchhikers need rides home, Halloween or not.  I love their stories.  I’m also a fan of reverse hitchhikers (the car and driver are the ghost – think of The Ride or Phantom 309).  I’m also a big fan of phantom places (oh, that old diner outside of town burned down seven years ago last week).

I like urban legend classics like the psycho killer on the college campus, or the hook on the door, or the killer in the backseat.  However, please skip the babysitter getting the call from upstairs – that one actively bothers me.

In general, for scary I want less gore/jump scare and more “standing at the bottom of the stairs with all the lights on hesitating to go upstairs”.

If you want to fuse any of these with a Clue/House on Haunted Hill/And Then There Were None type setup, go ahead.

I love a good ghost story, and ghost stories where they don’t immediately realize they have encountered a ghost.  Helpful ghosts or ghosts who need help from us are my jam, not really into poltergeist type stuff.

Spooky pranks are good too.

My general preferences are here.

For all fandoms, I am good with one 10K+ fic or 2 5k+ fics.

I am opting in to remixing if you like that option.  Feel free to play with any of the stuff I have for these couples.  Feel free to smash fandoms together as well (except SNW).

This is a sort of supercut letter, so enjoy!  One has a lot more, it's just because I've put a lot of thought into it, but I love them all!

THIS LETTER IS COMPLETE AS OF 8/30.

PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR S4 OF STRANGE NEW WORLDS.

I have listed pairings/characters under some of the songs to give a bit more of a vibe for what I am looking for, but feel free to use them if you’re familiar with the fandoms!

My theme for this final Fandom 5K is "fandoms I requested but never had fulfilled in this exchange" so at least one of them will change!

Apologies for the lateness of the letter!
