GMD Prompts from Yuletide 2013
For neveralarch mostly:
"Request by Gileonnen
The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
Professor Ratigan
Summary: What I want more than anything is a worldbuildy fic about the place of rats in mouse culture! Professor Ratigan is the only rat we ever get to see onscreen, and he's clearly got issues--he's self-loathing to the point where even mentioning that he's a rat causes him to cry out in dismay. He's notorious in the criminal underworld, but potentially also capable of garnering respect in mainstream mouse society (is he really a professor? how did he get his degree?). What I'd like to see is a portrait or even a snapshot of the society that made him the creature he is today.

A Study in Emerald - Neil Gaiman
John Watson (A Study in Emerald), Sherlock Holmes (A Study in Emerald)
Summary: I would love to see any canon ACD story moved into this universe, but would especially love to see "The Final Problem"/"The Empty House" done up in emerald. I don't know how that would go--in the inverted mirror of this world, would Holmes die and Moriarty fake his death? I'd rather Holmes and Watson strike a decisive blow against the Old Ones but if you want to follow the Lovecraft ethos rather than the Holmesian ethos, then embrace it--rip my damn heart out and leave me a sobbing mess on the floor, and I'll love you for it. Crossovers with different versions of Holmes are welcome--admit it, you want to write a version of The Great Mouse Detective with Cthulhu in it. You know you do. And I want to read it.
