Click Clack Series - Doreen Cronin

Any Character

I would really enjoy seeing correspondence, or a story, about labor negotiations between the farm animals and Farmer Brown, given how successful collective action was the first time they attempted it. Epistolary fiction, or a copy of the contract agreed-upon for the next season, or basically anything that you can think of that fits the topic would be appreciated. The more hilarious and/or ridiculous the demands and/or contract, the better.

The Tea Dragon Society - Katie O'Neill

Any Character

The Tea Dragon Society, reformed, is quite a wonderful thing, and the book is really far too short for the story and world that it builds, so if you would, please, I'd like some more of "The Further Adventures of the Tea Dragon Society." It can be some of the older members telling stories, or the younger members and their dragons making new ones or telling of their own adventures. I just want more of what's already happened, because there needs to be more.

The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman

Silas (Graveyard Book), Miss Lupescu (Graveyard Book)

Silas clearly went to a significant amount of effort to make sure that Bod had guardians and tutors while he was in the graveyard and hiding from the man Jack. Given the nature of Miss Lupescu's abilities and identity, there had to have been some interesting conversations between the two of them before Miss Lupescu agreed. I'd like to see how Silas convinced her to join the crew looking after Bod. And what favors may have been called in to do it.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - All Media Types

Any Character

What might have happened had Charlie been the recipient of the only Golden Ticket? Or if the other children hadn't been such object lessons in what not to do when confronted with everything they could have dreamed of?

What if Willy Wonka was a tempter, whose purpose in life was to present a child with whatever their heart most desired, and to test them?

What if this wasn't the only time that Wonka has tried this? What happened to the other children? (Is it like Bluebeard?)

Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis

Lucy Pevensie, Aravis Tarkheena, Susan Pevensie

There's plenty of common cause all three women have, given how Narnia treats all of them as secondary to the boys, no matter where they go. I think there are plenty of stories they could trade with each other about the things they've done that none of the boys have noticed or acknowledged helped them achieve their own goals. Or how their battle skills were put to excellent use while they were sure Aslan was watching something else and couldn't chastise them for being active women.

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Hermione Granger

The Library was always the place where Hermione felt safe and wanted. The books (generally) didn't talk about her blood status, or her intelligence making them feel stupid, or how weird and socially inept she was compared to some other, popular girl.

The books were her friends. At least until some of the other students came by, and she could make friends with them over the books. Even if they were the people who read (or even contributed to) the Quibbler.
