Candy Hearts Letter for CorpseBrigadier on Ao3

Dear Creator,

Thanks so much for taking the time to make something for me, and kudos on your great taste in the finest of Final Fantasies. I've listed a variety of prompts below that tend to elaborate on angsty/messy/offbeat ships I'd love to see for the installments in question. However, I'm a firm proponent of optional details being optional, so if your heart is set on a concept that isn't quite in alignment with some of the prompts/ideas here, feel free to follow your muse. I'm a big fan of the unconventional, experimental, and weird in fanworks, and I am always happy to be introduced to something new or offbeat. Whatever direction you opt to take, I'm very excited about whatever you choose to create and looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

[NOTE: This letter will be functionally complete at the time it is made public, but it may be tweaked to adjust details/add requests through the end of sign-ups. It will not be altered save to correct grammar/spelling after the end of sign-ups.]

Final Fantasy VI

[Requesting FIC]

I have a deep and profound nostalgia for the final Final Fantasy before Final Fantasy VII (and all the changes it wrought), and I think it remains one of the strongest installments in the series. I love how well it combines hard-hitting character drama with the complete absurdity of RPGs in general, and I love its sweeping, poignant explorations of human relationships in equal measure to its willingness to embrace that sometimes those relationships are offset by a talking purple octopus.

Final Fantasy VIII

[Requesting FIC]

I was not as much a fan of this game when it first came out as I should have been, because I was a dweeby teenager who liked Final Fantasy and I could not yet appreciate having a Final Fantasy about dweeby teenagers who would probably like Final Fantasy. I love how goofy, experimental, dreamlike, and weird this game is, and I love how many gorgeous and fun little details are hidden throughout the game if you poke around. I love that its a psychoanalyst's wet dream of intermixed mother/witch/lover/sister figures, chock full of lunar imagery and wrapped up in all sorts of angst about memories and the irretrievable past. I love that I am always allowed to play Triple Triad no matter the degree of crisis. For the one ship I've selected, I'd be very interested in looking into all the ways the game is simultaneously very poignant and very goofy and wrapped up in people who are trying very hard to be cool while being massively vulnerable and dorky.

Final Fantasy Tactics

[Requesting FIC or ART]

This game has been my major fandom for a few years now. I love how immensely unrepentantly bleak it is, how it's full of Church-flavored horror, and how it is just filled to the brim with unhappy families. I'm entirely here for political backstabbing and endless misery 24/7 in this sad little world of grid-based warfare. I love pretty much everything within it, and I would frankly be happy to receive almost anything for this fandom. In particular, I'm interested in the dynamics between characters who occupy similar narrative niches but never have the opportunity to meet in game.
