What should I offer for Yuletide?

[dbskyler]

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.

Oh dear! I haven't seen anything that caught my eye like last year with the Time Travelling Saxophone Haters, but if you had a particularly small/weird fandom like that, you had to explain it on the evidence post, so it might be worth checking out that as well as the fandom pimping post.

Looking at the Other Media section, I see that the Antler Guy tumblr post has made it in and that is fairly random and cracky, although I don't know whether it's your sort of thing.

I am intrigued as to what on earth Expert Judgment on Means to Deter Inadvertent Human Intrusion could possibly be, though - you should find out.

If not, you could follow up some of the adverts and music videos. Plenty of music videos are seriously cracky and one of the adverts seems to feature "Abdominal Pain" and "Woman with Abdominal Pain" as the two characters, which does make the mind boggle as to what was going on in the advert. (Presumably one of those with an anthropomorphised illness/germs/whatever). Also Tea is a category, with various types as characters. It would be beyond me as a non tea-drinker, despite all these years of DW watching, but you could maybe handle it? I don't know.

And Clue or Cluedo is back again - I think that could be pretty fab to write for, but I don't even own the game any more and the US version seems slightly different to the UK one, so I wouldn't dare.

Personally, obviously, I think you should just watch The Lady Vanishes, which is only an hour and a half and great and full of humour. This has nothing to do with me wanting fic for it! *nose grows substantially*

Good luck in finding something anyway!

ETA: Of course, there's always the option of looking through the neediest fandoms on the sign-up summary and seeing if there's something you could maybe offer or try to pick up there?

Thanks for the ideas. I don't know, nothing's really grabbing me, but then, Incompetent Time-Travelling Saxophone Haters didn't grab me at first last year, either.
