It seems like there are a fair number of phanfic writers here on IDB, and there are probably some would-be writers too, who lack only inspiration!
And I'm sure that deep down, we all have a secret longing for some specific kind of fic to exist...here's the place to possibly make that dream a reality — A thread for people to post phanfic requests! Be bold! You never know what you might inspire to be written.
Happy requesting (happy writing, if any of these requests strikes your fancy).
Edit: Also feel free to post any pre-existing fics you know of that fit a request you see.
Phanfic requests
YESSSSSS. I have a deep desire to see a really long, epic length plane crash fic in the phandom. I feel like I've found and enjoyed this fic in other fandoms, the P!ATD fandom has an amazing plane crash fic by behindthec I think, and I need one for Phan. I just can't write myself lol I'd have no hope. But maybe a bunch of YouTubers are on a plane on their way back from playlist and they crash and have to survive for months?

Hi I have two requests lol please don't judge me for them:
1)
A story where Dan has a rocky relationship with his parents/family. Not like they’re abusive or neglectful or even necessarily bad parents. But Dan doesn’t get along with them, or is bitter/resentful toward them, or something. It could be AU or not (though in my heart of hearts I’d prefer it to not be). Maybe he hangs out with the Lesters. Maybe he talks to Phil. Maybe he just mopes. Anything’s fine, really; I just want a bit of parent-related angst.
2)
2009 fic where Dan has self-esteem issues and feels like he’s whoring himself out on Dailybooth by posting nakedbooths, but also fears it's only reason anyone follows him. He and Phil talk about it on Skype. (Maybe told from Phil's point of view?)
More details under the spoiler, but if anyone actually writes this, PLEASE feel free to take liberties or change things if you so desire!
Some background info ~
yes i did research for a fic request lmao.
List of Dan’s nakedbooths + dates:
Relevant comments/captions:
I have no expectation that anyone will actually write anything for either of these, but if anyone does, thank you in advance and I love you.

i feel bad requesting something after you oqua, stop putting so much effort into everything, you make the rest of us look bad! jk obvs
ok so i have a thing for friends with benefits/open relationships/relationships that are kinda weird and don't fit a specific category, but the problem is that in the phandom most of these fics are so fucking angsty??? and they always end up w deppy figuring out their shit and being in a normal romantic relationship???
so yeah im craving a not angsty friends w benefits (etc etc) fic, maybe it could even have something to do with why they don't come out (bc they wouldn't know how to explain it to people what would the viewers say and that kind of stuff), or maybe completely au, i really don't care
btw by not angsty i don't mean that they should have a 100% healthy relationship, fucked up shit can be interesting, just that i don't want # suffering or one of them wanting a usual romantic relationship to be the central point of the fic
i feel like this is weirdly specific and i doubt anyone apart from me has an interest on this topic but i might as well throw it out there

Y'all have such specific and amazing requests and I totally sign under these, I'd love to read that as well!
Well my request is... I'd like to read some accurately sorted Hogwarts AU fic. Don't get me wrong, slytherin Dan and omg such cinnamon roll hufflepuff Phil is nice to read, but I'm really intrigued about a fic that would have "more real" Deppy in it. Other than that, happy ending, please
I didn't think of story, but it would be cool if it lined with the actual books and show The story from other people's POV.
I also sometimes have ideas for Deppy Mass Effect au, coz I'm gamer trash and they are Londoners.
Oh yeah. Please write more Deppy in videogame universes!
jesus I feel like I sound awfuly demanding... soz, not intended. I just have many ideas but don't know how to write xD

I was listening to Adele's All i ask, and in my mind i just imagine that Dan and Phil (who are just friends) decide to go separate ways after the tour, they find their own apartment, so the night when they move out, they stand in the empty lounge and say goodbye to each other.

If you’re attracted to somebody, you’ll want them to sniff you eventually - Dan

"For Good" from Wicked makes me think of Y'know, apart from the fact it's a duet between two women.
If anyone's looking for songfic inspiration.
RPF still weirds me out though... sorry!

IckleMissMayhem's evil fic writing alter ego. :twisted:
I heard the song, and thought of them immediately! Every time I hear it I think of them. Seriously, I feel like the tour could be like the last hurrah/ grand finale of ! I never wrote fan fiction until I found them either and have now written a Japhan fic, and started one for this song, never finished it though.... So I agree for your request.akui wrote:I was listening to Adele's All i ask, and in my mind i just imagine that Dan and Phil (who are just friends) decide to go separate ways after the tour, they find their own apartment, so the night when they move out, they stand in the empty lounge and say goodbye to each other.

It's a WIP, but it's worth it. Pretty fluffy, amazingly written. Dan is gryffindor i believe while Phil is hufflepuff. Idk if those are the houses you are looking for, but I love the characterization.

My problem with RPF is that I tend to project what I perceive is their current situation; and I just can't indulge/immerse in angst when I feel they are so far from that now. However I can totally buy it if the storyline was a few years back and it was a flashback.daphenaxa wrote:akui wrote:I was listening to Adele's All i ask, and in my mind i just imagine that Dan and Phil (who are just friends) decide to go separate ways after the tour, they find their own apartment, so the night when they move out, they stand in the empty lounge and say goodbye to each other.

Moar on the on-the-road fics pls,
Maybe even a one when they crash and almost die and that experience brings them together.

But who the fuck am I kidding? I'm mostly just the rotting banana peel at the bottom of the phan trash can who genuinely gets excited over the thought of them snuggling in bed. Idgaf let a bitch live

I would love to read a fic about them finding this website... a funny & lighthearted one, though, not an "oh my god they know about us" one. Does that make sense?
I'm honestly just forever laughing about what I think Dan's reaction to "middle-aged nose perverts" would be

i'd love to read a platonic!phan one in which both marry other people (who are best friends as well) on the same day/time/place and one of them (or both) make(s) a speech about all the stuff they've done together no angst etc, just a really fluffy, cute one with a lot of feels
without the internet, we never would have met

The one fic I'm craving for months now is one where they are rockstars on tour. All this tatinof stuff is making me crazy for this, please someone take me out of my misery. It can be anything of the sorts. They can be in a band, solo artists, a duo idk. I just want them living the rockstar life and making out in tiny bunks

I'd like to read some fics that focus on Dam's relationship with the Lesters, as well as some that focus on Phil's relationship with the Howells (both in the same fic would make my day).
