VMHQâs Holiday Fic Grab Bag - PROMPT LIST!!
Ho, Ho, Ho! Our list of Holiday Fic Prompts was delivered by reindeer mail this morning, and weâre ready to share them with all the Veronica Mars fanfic writers, GIFmakers, artists, and⌠well, anyone who wants to create something for them.Â
Remember, post all of your offerings to the A03 collection by December 23rd. The collection will open for your reading and enjoyment (anonymously) on the morning of December 24th and then authors/creators will be revealed on January 1st!
So, without further ado, and in no particular order, THE LIST:
Logan and Veronica and a secret santa!
Logan and Veronica snowbound strangers who have to keep each other warm. Bonus points if they donât like each other much at first and then find out how they are so much more than first impressions (and then hook up).
During An Echolls Family Christmas - Logan and Veronica and accidental kissing.
College AU. Logan and Veronica - Logan meets Keith for the first time during the holidays. Thereâs nervousness, making out, and Keith trying to accept his little girl isnât so little anymore.
During S2, Logan is feeling down after watching the tapes of Lilly, and Veronica is feeling down with Wallace gone and everything sucking. They somehow meet and spend the Holidays together and things get better.
Logan and Veronica fall in love during a (crazy) Holiday party. This one can be AU.
Mac is tired of her family asking about her love life so she brings Dick to Christmas dinner as her pretend boyfriend.
LoVe and Holiday horror (As in Krampus and other Holiday horror movies, but no killer snowmen because come on). Just want to see if anyone can come up with something for this one.
Logan and Veronica meet at a Christmas party and hook up for the first time.
LoVe as an established couple (can include other pairings) and they spend the holidays with the parents. Can be AU if they are meeting the parents for the first time. Comedy if possible (as plenty of Holiday movies do - Ex. Meet the parents).
LoVeâs first Christmas together (after reuniting in the film), including the run up to the actual day.
Weevil is desperate to find a sold out doll for his daughter âthe only item on Valentinaâs Christmas listâ and he enlists Loganâs help to track down this important present.Â
Lilly gives Logan to Veronica as a Christmas present.
LoVe during S3 - they donât break up so they spend their first Holidays together!
Veronica is a waitress in a New York diner, trying to pay her way through law school. She has to work Christmas Eve - itâs just her and the cook and no customers until Logan walks in to spend a lonely, glum holiday.Â
LoVe find themselves stranded in the airport and canât make it to their holiday celebrations. They find each other instead. Romance ensues :)
In An Echolls Family Christmas, Weevil calls Veronica when the money first goes missing, and she shows up to find all the boys in their underwear. âWhen did Logan get so ripped?â
Itâs the season of countless movies about saving Xmas! So what if the Vmars characters have to do the same? Can you combine the noir of Neptune with the silly Xmas shenanigans that are required to save the holiday? Maybe it can be a fantasy story (does SC needs help?) or based in reality (or ambiguous fantasy if you like). As many characters as can be involved from canon. And preferably with LoVe either as friends, or enemies to friends, or even as a couple.
AU or alternate ending of an Echollâs Family Christmas. Logan/Veronica
Veronica, Mac and Meg baking cookies for Christmas
Veronica and Loganâs first kiss happens under the mistletoe. Someone else (Duncan, Lilly, or another person) tried to put it up to catch either Logan or Veronica, but it backfires when it gets Logan and Veronica together instead.
Snowbound Fab Four, pre-series, LoVe the Fab Four but maybe before everyone pairs off(?) can be happy and fluffy or with a dose of pining/angsty
Set during S2 âOne Angry Veronicaâ - Logan feeling down about everything, stealing the sex tapes, etc. does something sweet and possibly(?) anonymous for Weevilâs Grandma (since he currently owns their house at that point). Maybe a little bit of BrOTP w/Logan & Weevil?
S2 Christmas Break - Veronica goes to Logan for comfort after discovering the truth about Megâs pregnancy
S4 Imagined AU - Veronica never went to Stanford, but she did come back from the FBI internship with a new commitment to normalcy. Â Sheâs still dating Piz, but the semester is nearing an end and she knows itâs not what she wants. Itâs Christmas, and at Christmas you tell the truth. Eventually LoVe (maybe a little Love Actually inspired w/out the creepiness). Maybe Logan has someone else in his life at this point too(?)
Those 9 years, two Neptune survivors bump into each other unexpectedly at an airport in Aspen when their flights are delayed. Who are they? What happens? What do they talk about? (Not a LoVe pairing)
Ghost of Christmasâ past. You pick the ghost and who they visit. Also, the living donât have to know theyâre being watched, or you can have interactions between the living and the ghost.
Madisonâs perspective of how the events unfolded in Aspen (can be her POV) would love a somewhat sympathetic/compassionate approach to a character that never received much dimension from the writers.
Logan and Veronicaâs kid âHome Aloneâ during Christmas.
S3 AU, Logan, Veronica, Keith, and whoever else the writer wants (the whole gang or no one else) meet in Aspen. Can LoVe reconnect during the holidays? Or will things remain the same?
LoVe trying to find the perfect gift for each other in a mall or some big store because they forgot (donât know why, maybe they just got recently back together, perhaps this is a S3 AU :O) days (hours?) before Xmas. Thereâs waaaay too many people, madness and fighting ensues :).

Logan and Veronica sing Christmas carols⌠in front of an audience⌠for a case.
AU Veronica investigates the case of Santa Claus and Logan tags along.
Either Logan or Veronica try to make some big Christmas dinner and absolutely everything goes wrong. They end up eating pizza/KFC/or something like that on a very messy kitchen floor and making out. The writer can decide if guests arrive and find them like that.
Logan and Veronica. Itâs New Yearâs Eve and person A got dumped. Person B tries to cheer up person A, and they end up kissing as the countdown reaches 0.
Logan and Veronica just broke up. Dick throws a big Christmas party. Wallace and Mac convince Veronica to go. Logan and Veronica meet there and reconcile.

What did they think about one another when they realized theyâd both selected the same pair (esp. if the author decides Veronica gifted them and it reveals that theyâre both being nostalgic and missing her this time of year)

Remake the movie Serendipity with Logan and Veronica. It may not be a movie about Christmas but it takes place around Christmas time.
New Yearâs Eve is always a disappointment. Keith knows this. Everybody knows this. So why not use the day to start working on his resolution for a healthy year? To make a long story short, Keith conscripts some victims to help him replace his pointless crop of lawn grass with kale. Some find it amusing, fewer find it hot, and others are just done.
âI got you for secret santa and I got you this really expensive but sentimental gift that youâve always wanted, hoping youâll never find out itâs from me and Iâve been in love with you since foreverâ
âYou got me an amazing present and I didnât get you anything because I didnât know we were doing presents because you are just a close friend (and oh, this is supposed to be a declaration of love, well in that case, come to the bed, Iâve got great last minute gift idea)â
