Well, me neither. I have very few fandoms with definite pairings (which is a problem when having to nominate them in more than one fandom, btw). But this is just so much fun. Also, of course, it helps knowing the likely recipients. With a stranger, I wouldn't dare to, say, write a Fritz/Fredersdorf AU where FW steals Fredersdorf to be his Potsdam Giant/oboist and Fritz has to get him back one way or another, because FW could possibly be their DNW (even if he gets offed/defeated in the story). But with you or cahn, I'd feel safe in the assumption you'd go for such a scenario as well even though you didn't request it.
yessss I have very few fandoms as well with definite pairings, which is why RMSE is not made for me! But haha yes, the nice thing is that I know you guys know that I am less a fan of the definite pairing than I am of just seeing what all these characters do together :D

YES PLEASE
Let's see. If I sign up, would ask for
Fritz/Heinrich (of course) Fritz/Joseph (so one of you / both of you will write me plotty arranged marriage hijinks, right??) Heinrich/Kaphengst (mostly in case mildred wants to write corporate AU, but selenak, if you wanted to write a plotty story about anything (Anhalt!Sophie AU??) and have these two as a background pairing, YES PLEASE)
On the fence about: Fritz/Voltaire, mostly because THESE TWO Algarotti/Heinrich, mostly because I think this is hilarious. Especially if one wanted to combine this with Fritz/Heinrich. I would be all over that.
(As usual, pre-slash and very lightly slash would be totally fine :)) Am I missing anything?? I'm probably missing things!
Algarotti/Heinrich is nominated because it's the crack headcanon of mine that totally works in combination with other, more serious pairings as well as on its own. I mean: Algarotti/Heinrich one night stand might be a fun short story on its own, or it could work in combination with Fritz/Algarotti as a side issue of Algarotti venting his Fritz frustrations or preparing his Frexit or what not. (While Heinrich is totally game for this because a) Algarotti is a sexpot, and b) it'll annoy Big Brother. Also, depending on the timing of the one night stand, c) payback for Marwitz, or payback for the marriage enforcement.)
Fritz/Voltaire: I'm actually going to dare one of you to write an AU where Fritz is the ambitious ficathon organizer who finally managed to woo BNF Voltaire for his ficathon (and as beta to his own fanfic), and then Voltaire starters to get into it with other BNF Maupertuis and with Fritz himself because someone forwards Voltaire's secret emails about laundry washing to Fritz and things escalate from there. :)
Am I missing anything?? I'm probably missing things!
What about Fritz/Fredersdorf? I'm at least as likely to work Fritz/Mike into corporate AU as Heinrich/Kaphengst, and it'll allow Selena to write any babysitting or oboist-stealing fics that may inspire her! (Of course, if I sign up, feel free to write either or both for me.)
lol, this is probably my fault for writing two comments about requests and nominations right after the other. (it's because talking about requests reminded me that I should ask if there were any additional nominations)
Of course, but what if Fritz/Fredersdorf is the only slash pairing, like in the FW Potsdam Giant scenario, or babysitting? Or if I only get inspired for Fritz/Mike (with heavy doses of non-slashy Fritz + Heinrich) and the Kaphengst relationship doesn't fit in this installment. You need to have requested Fritz/Fredersdorf so we can gift our fics to you!
My problem is that I either have few/no pairings, or few but very definite OTPs. In Fritz fandom, I seem to be fine with a wide variety!
But with you or [personal profile] cahn, I'd feel safe in the assumption you'd go for such a scenario as well even though you didn't request it.
Yessss. Consider it prompted!
Also, both of you consider FW painting Fredersdorf prompted. cahn, you have a whole fic that's dying for this outtake, especially now that we know the chronology works.
Also, of course, it helps knowing the likely recipients.
It does, it does. I would not have written "Fritz dies at the beginning" fic for a stranger. Now, I know you'd rather have the dysfunctional brothers alive and love-hating, and it is so noted for the future, but I also know you weren't horrified by the very idea of waking up on Christmas to a dead Fritz. (It also helps that I know you know canon well enough to pick up on the sheer amount of detail I allude to without spelling out.)
