Yultide Letter 2025
Oct. 19th, 2025 09:26 pmYuletide Letter for CorpseBrigadier on Ao3
Dear Author,
Hello, author! Let me open by offering my thanks and enthusiasm that you've opted to write for one of these microscopic fandoms that have captured my imagination this year. This exchange has long been one of my favorite ways of interfacing with fandom, and I'm very psyched to see your creation for one of these canons so full of medievalesque violence and angst. I've done my best to offer some info as to what I find compelling about each one and to throw out some prompts and ideas, but please known that if my thoughts on these works aren't quite calling to you, I'm a firm believer in optional details being optional, and I would love to see what compels you as an author about the canons/characters!
Note: I am open to treats on ao3 and should have them activated.
[NOTE: This letter will be functionally complete at the time it is made public, but it may be tweaked through the end of sign-ups.]

The Canon: This hornt-as-hell, shlocky, excessively edgy medieval film is a mess of trauma bonding, romantic mandrake harvesting, over the top violence, and grossly inaccurate portrayals of how the bubonic plague works, and it apparently inspired Berserk which then went on to inspire virtually everything else. I love it because its unrelentingly brutal and full of gloriously toxic and twisted dynamics between the three major characters. I also love it because it speaks deeply to my id and I think that more films should have Rutger Hauer groping somebody's fiancee in front of them while they are chained up in a spiked dog collar.Where to Find It (and Canon Review Resources): This film is free to view (with ads) on Tubi.

She is Conann
The Canon: I first saw this film a year or so back and was completely haunted by it. I love both of its grotesquely uncomfortable cannibalism scenes. I love the conceit of murdering your old self to bring in the reign of a new self. I love how artsy and hot and indulgent it feels. I love the surreal weirdness of the whole narrative, which never explains the time hopping nature of Conann's later incarnations and never apologizes for it.Where to Find It (and Canon Review Resources): It's available for free (with ads) on Roku.

The Wizard's Shadow
The Canon: This was my absolute favorite novel at around age twelve, and I revisited it recently to discover that twelve-year old me had great taste. There's so much to love about this canon: fraught sibling relationships, cool takes on magic, a harrowingly violent opening chapter, an enchanted snakebaby gunning for the throne. I really love all the tropes Dexter is dealing in in this novel and I love how this piece ended up as a standalone entry in her world with the promise of Crocken and Miall enjoying future adventures never explored in a sequel.Where to Find It: The book is available on OpenLibrary for loan if you have an account.
