darchildre: second doctor playing solitaire (bored now)

I have been feeling kinda blah for the last couple days and this morning I realized that part of it is because I don't currently have a Story. Most of the time, I have a persistent daydream story that plays in the back of my mind while I'm doing other things and that I can actively think about when I'm bored. But the inspiration for the last one has now dried up and I'm left replaying bits of the story that I've "seen" dozens of times already and I need a new one.

Most of my stories have their origins in fandom of some sort, even if I end up filing the serial numbers off and the story becomes wildly AU. I don't currently have a fannish obsession either, which is probably why I don't have a new story.

Thus - friends, do you want to rec me a fannish obsession? I don't actually need a fandom, per se, though consumable fanworks are of course definitely a plus. I'm kinda in the mood for fantastical-leaning-towards-high-fantasy, but I'm open to recs of all kinds. Bonus points for compelling villains (because of course, have you met me?).

What are you guys into that could produce fun daydream stories?

As a fandom, The Dragon Prince seems to be hitting that button for a lot of people. It's not quite a Campbellian sword and board adventure, but it's got all the possibilities of one...if the main characters weren't an elf, a mage, and a kid who can talk to animals, that is.
