I'm also Quillori on AO3.
All fandoms are definitely equally wanted - some of my older requests have longer prompts, because I work them over every year, adding a bit here and a bit there, but that doesn't mean I'm not equally keen on the more recent ones.
Requested fandoms (links go directly to the relevant portion of the letter):
In General
Ancient Egyptian Religion
Omar Rayyan Undersea Paintings
The Reluctant Widow - Georgette Heyer
Liáo zhâi zhì yì | Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio - Pú Sônglíng
In General
I really would prefer you to write the best story you can, and one you're happy with, rather than trying unsuccessfully to do something that doesn't suit you to fit what I asked for. I'm most interested in what you, dear writer, make of the source material.

Ancient Egyptian Religion Imhotep, Set
(Just one of the requested characters is fine for this request.) Something dealing with Imhotep's role as god of science and magic, or with his position as a god who was once a man. Or perhaps one of the less well known stories about Set? Or something about his relationship with his worshippers. Or a hymn, or a story made up from fragments, ... whatever you like.

Omar Rayyan - Undersea Paintings - Spanish Mackerel
Octopus people in an underwater kingdom... so much potential for worldbuilding (a beautiful and unsettling world almost, but not quite, like ours), or for exploring what it might mean to be half octopus.
( Read More )
The Reluctant Widow - Georgette Heyer - Francis Cheviot
More Francis Cheviot! Going to his tailor, playing cards, spying, seducing French agents … anything at all.

Liáo zhâi zhì yì | Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio - Pú Sônglíng - Worldbuilding
I'm interested to see whatever you choose to make of this. Expand on one of Pu Songling's stories or tell one of your own. You could do something with the ever present fox spirits - they're viewed in such a range of ways, from meriting death through to the ambivalence of stories such as Cut Sleeve to admirable heroines (e.g. in Lotus Fragrance). Or you could do something with the relation of dreams to reality, or the extent to which stories are a type of dream. Make your language as densely allusive or as simple as you please, your tone as light or as dramatic as you want. Gen, slash, het; light-hearted, bitingly satirical, restrained or sly or melancholy ... anything that strikes your fancy.
