Okay, at this point I might as well sign myself up :'D
As I already described (at far-too-great length in this comment), I am almost certainly going to be writing some Fruits Basket fanfic over the next 6 months whether I joined this challenge or not, particularly of the Yuki/Kakeru or maybe just Yuki Sohma gen variety!
Some other fandoms I might try writing for in the spirit of the challenge:
Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zuko/Aang. This one's sorta lower priority in that I have in fact already a Zuko/Aang fic posted up on my Ao3 (right here, if you're interested!), but it's still a very old ship that I used to adore - one of the first ships I ever wrote for! I've already been revisiting it this year due to the Netflix adaptation, and I really wanted to participate in Zukaang week earlier this year, but it just didn't work out. OH, and I just remembered: I really really loved Roku/Sozin as well, but I never ended up writing any at all! It's a shame that one of the most prolific authors ended up deleting their LJ, but there's still some great stuff out there!
Final Fantasy X-2, Gippal/Baralai. Gods I love this ship, and every few years or so I find myself looking it up again and remembering anew just how much! <3 I've also been revisiting this world a touch this year as I finally bought the remasters on Switch, and it's just one of that rarepairs that always makes me so happy and satisfied even despite its small amount of comment. I have a couple of fics of it up on my LJ-era archive but nothing else!
Ace Attorney, a looot of potential ships but Phoenix/Edgeworth being the most nostalgic. This has gotta be my longest-running sustaining fandom ever: no matter how much time has passed, I've always kept up with the new releases, which is certainly not the norm for me, haha!;; And yet, amazingly, even though I've shipped it since the original trilogy, I have never completed a full Phoenix/Edgeworth fic. It's kinda wild!! I came up with a full Christmas fic plan a few years back, and then half-wrote a PWP a year or two after that, but somehow it never comes together. Someday I'd like to change that! <3 (Also, I'm still playing through The Great Ace Attorney with all its great number of ship options in its own right, if that counts!)
House, House/Wilson. So this ol' show has had a bit of a renaissance on tumblr recently, and it's kinda incredible? I've been doing some archiving of my old fanworks/rec lists lately which has brought up a Lot of House/Wilson hahaha (god I read. so MUCH of that back in the day apparently, lmao) and it really is still such a fun, toxic, hilarious little ship <3 I wrote some really short stuff for it back in the day but definitely nothing on my current ao3, and maybe I should!
Star Trek, Kirk/Spock. This was a huuuge fandom for me after the reboot movie, right around the hinge point of 'old' versus 'modern' fandom for me (I got a tumblr for the sake of Star Trek stuff, but still wasn't using Ao3 much yet), and I've been dipping my toes back into the fandom due to me finally getting back into TNG. I read a Kirk/Spock a couple weeks ago and it really did remind me all over again how much I love those Space Husbands <3 I most definitely have Kirk/Spock on my ao3 haha; they were the first ship I ever posted there! But it's been a lonnnng time...
Harry Potter. The original, the one, the only, the childhood fandom to end all childhood fandoms. I... was really hesitant about getting more into it for a while, due to all the. uh. discourse. on tumblr. But unfortunately my actual beliefs still are that consuming the fanfic really isn't hurting anyone... and so over the last year or so I've been trying to not punish myself for that, hah. Remus/Sirius is the OG ship, though I've find it bizarrely different to read lately due to some very unanticipated fandom trends?! (a lot of 'fanfic of a fanfic' style characterisation shifts to the point of... unrecognisability, in many cases, hahah.) But I've also been delving a little into Percy/Oliver, which I was interested in back in the day but never found much for, and I've been really enjoying it! So I wouldn't mind writing something for it myself~
Pokemon Black and White, N/Black. Ahhhhhh another very very big old ship that gives me the warm fuzzies <333 Again, I wrote it a long time ago (over ten years ago, apparently!!), but there's so much more I could do with these two and I've be overjoyed to revisit them!
Metal Gear Solid, Snake/Otacon. This is a funny one because I read it a fair bit back in the day without actually ever playing the games?! I did end up playing them a couple years back, but it's still a fandom I find very intimidating to actually write in... The ship's also had a bit of a resurgence lately, so I really should read some and get back into the zone for it!
Axis Powers Hetalia, America/Lithuania. Oh woooooow I almost didn't think of this one until someone mentioned Hetalia below!! But GODS I love these two; my fandom archive was inspired in part by my picking up my old phone for a while and off-handedly re-reading an old US/Liet fic I remembered loving, and immediately falling back in love with these two for real. :') <3 I really don't know if I ever wrote them actually; I think Hetalia fell smack-bang into the middle of my writing slump when I just wasn't doing much of anything?! But I really should... They deserve so much <33
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, Fate/Nanoha. My OG yuri ship and one I still care so so deeply for whenever I remember them hahaha <33 I did write one PWP with them back in the day, but I'd love to get back into them! I remember reading soooo many doujins, but never found much fic I liked... Maybe I should see if I can find some!!
And I think that's about it! Like I said, I'll prooobably end up writing Fruits Basket... but I got a lotta options. :'DDD
