What should I offer for Yuletide?
Flist, I am once again having trouble finding 4 fandoms to offer for Yuletide. So, I'm looking for suggestions! What should I consider offering?
My favorite thing to do for Yuletide is write humor, so I am particularly looking for humorous fandoms, or fandoms with a cracky premise, where recipients are pretty likely to be requesting something in that tone. I realize you won't know if I'm familiar with a particular fandom or not, but if you think of something, suggest it, because maybe I know it!
Basically, I'm asking: anything I might be overlooking in the tag set? Or any 5-minute fandoms out there that I should check out?
FYI, you can find the tag set here.

Two seasons, 18 episodes altogether, just 30 minutes per episode (20 minutes if you don't count commercials). Once you start watching, you can't stop. At least I couldn't. And I was very hesitant at first, as it was pitched to me as being similar to Monty Python, and I absolutely don't get Monty Python humor. But this I loved.
It's set in medieval times, and it is a musical. There is a lot of singing and dancing and overall crackyness. The music was done by Alan Menken of Disney fame which alone is a recommendation. You can also find the songs on youtube if you want to have a quick look. Very humorous lyrics (sometimes of the kind where you wonder how they got away with it, but I guess if you have your critique of American politics in a medieval setting anything is possible - isn't ABC also the channel that is doing the Simpsons? That would explain a lot), great actors, I really loved it.
It's an American (ABC) show but filmed in the UK with lots of British actors I recognized, two from "Downton Abbey" for example. Worth alone for the British accents and awesome locations. 2 minutes in I recognized a cathedral I have visited many years ago. I love such things.
Well worth checking out! Sadly it was cancelled but for a while it was my new favorite fandom. I have no idea if there is fic about it. Maybe I should check!

Looks like AO3 does indeed have Galavant fic: http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Galavant%20(TV)/works

While I have not checked out the fic. Other stuff got more important but I also seriously wonder how a story without singing and dancing would work. It's a big part of the show.

That was when I realized that all the usual clichés would be turned upside down and you go in having no idea what to expect which makes it very refreshing. And everyone's so likeable.
And the lyrics to the songs are quite unusual as well. I think it was in episode 3 where Galavant and Isabella sing a very different love duet.
Really, just start right at minute 1 at episode 1. If you don't have a catchy tune three minutes in, then you must be dead ;)
