Heart Attack 2021

Hello and thank you for joining the fastest leg of the Triple Crown. So excited! This is going to have a lot of repeated prompts from the other two legs, but the fandom mix is slightly different and I've tried to suggest things that seem easy to write. At least to me.

Safety fandoms note: Original Work, in which I requested mostly f/f and m/m pining, and The Amateur Cracksman (the first Raffles short story collection about Edwardian gentleman thieves, Project Gutenberg link) are my safety fandoms. In addition, if I'm lingering and you are an incredibly kind person thinking of picking up something for me, Billabong was nominated as a series and I would love something from any point in canon, but for Jim/Wally I would be equally delighted for something based purely on Jim and Wally (Project Gutenberg link). In that case, we have brave, laconic and devoted young Australians off to fight in the Great War. (Extra note: I don't remember Jim and Wally being the worst Billabong book for period-typical racism and classism, probably because it isn't set in Australia, but Mary Grant Bruce needs a blanket warning anyway.)

Please don't be put off by the length of this letter. I've tried to give enough substance in prompts to inspire a 10K fic, but if you have a completely different idea you would prefer to write, I'm excited to see what you come up with. I always say and mean that, but it goes double for Heart Attack. I'm happy to receive any tense, any POV, any format (epistolary, interactive, in-universe, whatever inspires you), any rating from G to E. If you're stuck for a quick idea, I really do love 5 (or other number) times fics, either the traditional ones that are AUs of the same scene, or "five times X kissed Y.". Or Groundhog Day. Or 10K of smut if that's easier for you. Most of all I want you to have fun with what you write.
