traykorThanks for writing for me!
A few notes to start:
I sure do love a good world build, and this year that's a focus of the picks, as these are all 5 minute fandoms.
I like romance that is present but takes a back seat to friendship, or slow burns. I adore found family, and people being good parents. I like hurt comfort, and people taking care of each other.
Happy endings only please. Do be as funny or as zany as you like. These songs are mostly already on the way to silly.
Do Not Wants:
AUs that change the setting or professions--high school AU, Coffee Shop AU types, modern set aus.
I absolutely do no want porn. Romance is fine, fade to black for the sex like you're on broadcast TV. No infidelity.
No non-canon character death, and definitely no killing either song heroine.
Please keep sexual violence to aired on TV levels too--in general think 'safe for network broadcast'.
Do not give any protagonist a problem with drugs or alcohol, or treat narcotic use for pain as bad.

Worldbuilding
Who is this lovely princess, and how did she end up marrying a louse with murderous intentions? Good on her for (literally) giving him the heave ho, but what happens now? Is this an evil queen's origin story? Are she and her handmaidens going to run the country now? I just have so many questions, but I love this clever princess so much.
Lady Isabel & the Elf Knight (Traditional Ballad):

Worldbuilding, Lady Isabel, the Parrot
Or Lady Margaret. Take your pick of their names, and take your pick of versions--"Lady Isabel & the Elf Knight" is what Child titled the set, so feel free to pick and choose from the 8 variants. Do include the parrot. I really like that sassy parrot. How did she get a snarky parrot anyway? Do also keep her alive--there's the one where he does manage to kill her, my least favorite--but you don't have to have the knight dead if you want to play around with it.
If you want to do a bigger worldbuild, both Isabel and Margaret are names used in a lot of ballads. Are they the same? different?
Do they all meet for tea every other Tuesday with the rest of the ladies from ballads and complain about the men in their lives?
Stray
The orange cat, worldbuilding
So, what happens next? Does kitty find their friends? Ever go back to the robot city? Bring the friends along?
DNWs for this canon:
Don't hurt the cat. No AUs at all for this one please, and keep it to canon violence and no sexual content.
