Big Bird. Fraggle Rock (or they might be Gummy Bears). Thundercats. He-Man riding Battle Cat. Clark Griswold’s Family Truckster complete with dog tied to bumper running behind. Reference, reference, reference. A conveyor belt of references. No context. No effort made past the character models. Just “hey, you know that thing you know about? I too know about that thing you know about, and I put it in my game so that you know that I know about that thing you know about.”

And for a lot of people, that’s all you need to make them happy. I don’t get it myself. The “pop” part of “pop-culture” stands for “popular.” For a thing to be part of pop-culture, it has to be seen by a lot of people and make enough of an impact that it becomes part of the public consciousness and thus will be remembered by the collective masses and cement its place in culture for generations yet to come. Pop(ular)-Culture. Get it?

So, when you see Optimus Prime show up in a random video game, it shouldn’t really mean anything to me or you, or anyone. Transformers is very well-known and has been a major part of pop-culture for three decades now. That’s why it had multiple cartoons, a line of toys, and then long after the height of its original popularity had passed, was able to be adapted into a multi-billion dollar movie franchise. Of course people have heard of Optimus Prime. If VideoKid wanted to impress me, it should have had cameos by Armed Force fighting Saw Boss or a sign welcoming you to Eerie, Indiana (pop: 16661). Something obscure, you know.

Whenever possible, fandoms should be nominated as the largest umbrella fandom that is applicable. If you think the umbrella fandom tag will lead to confusion, please add a subfandom in parentheses after the character's name.
Along those same lines, please nominate any movies or TV shows related to Marvel Studios under Marvel Cinematic Universe. This includes, but is not limited to, Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Netflix Marvel, and Venom.
I'm not familiar with comic universes, so if people who are would help me know how best to approve those nominations, it would be appreciated.

In the sign up form you will indicate whether you want art or a fic as your gift, and which you are willing to create.

Art must be at least a complete line drawing.

Works must not include any elements listed as Do Not Wants (DNW) by your recipient.

We are taking a very loose stance on the Fluff requirement. As long as you include some fluffy aspects, you can add angst, hurt/comfort, smut, or whatever other aspects you want.

Pinch hits will be posted to the community. If you think you can't finish your work by the deadline, please default on AO3.
