Greetings, Yuletide Author! I hope this letter will provide some nice jumping-off points or ideas for treats!

DNWs:

- Incest, including adopted and step-relations

- Underage (under 18) sex - depiction or discussion

- Rape - depiction or discussion

- Explicit sex or references to off-screen sex (primarily as innuendoes -- pregnant female characters aren't a problem)

- Unrequested changes to a canon character's sexuality/gender/race/etc.

- Graphic depictions of violence. Canon-typical violence is an exception, but dismemberment squicks me.

- Harming children 12 and under severely or permanently. Being scared, upset, or temporarily injured (scrapes, bruises) are fine.

- Harm to pet animals, unless the animal is rescued and safe by the end of the story.

- Cruelty to animals, clean deaths are OK but not generally wanted either.

- Crossovers w/ RPF or unrequested fandoms

- Unrequested romantic ships. If I say a ship in a different part of my request, it's not unrequested. Background OC ships are generally OK.

- Sinking requested ships if you choose to write them platonically. (Don't have them say "I could only see you as a friend", "you're a sister/brother to me", etc.)

- Character death for requested characters. I may be okay with canon character deaths but if there are specific characters pointed out in my requests, I'd rather not read about them dying unless noted otherwise.

- Unrequested setting change AUs (e.g. human, no powers, fusions, etc.)

- AI-generated works.

Likes!!:

- Fluff/slice of life, especially for characters who don't get a lot of that in canon.

- Focus on canon friendships

- Missing scenes/little added details that weren't in canon

- Happy endings

- Hurt/Comfort, especially between friends and ships

- Physical affection (between friends and between romantic ships)

- Food-centric worldbuilding. Make me hungry for foods that don't exist (or that do!)

- Requested ships being awesome in battle together (or alternatively, how they stick up for each other in everyday situations)

- Shenanigans (prank wars, random in-character goofy situations, friendly banter, if superpowers are involved, messing around with superpowers)

- Cats. If you can include a cat and want to include a cat, please include a cat!

- Transformations and/or showing off abilities, for canons involving superhuman abilities. Mild body horror/focus on the transformation aspect is OK here but see previous DNWs about violence.

- Soap or bubblegum bubbles, especially gigantic ones. Works well when combined with shenanigans. This doesn't have to be realistic either.

- Crossovers between requested fandoms.

- Canon Divergence AUs (e.g. what-ifs)

- Treats! I am okay with treats of any kind, so long as it's not something going against my DNWs!

Specific fandoms ahead.

Bionicle (Generation 1)
Fandom-specific interests:
-Gali and Takua/Takanuva's mind link. but also anything with them as a couple, I am starved lol
-Literally anywhere you can fit in powers being affected by emotion but especially with a romantic bent
-Fun/silly uses of elemental powers
-LOVE IS CANON.
-Anything happy/fluffy, slice of life, post-canon, wherever you can fit it
-Av-Matoran culture worldbuilding
-Was Takua an oddball when he was in Karda Nui like Gavla? How did he interact with his friends before the mind wipe? Does he ever get the memories of being friends with Tanma and Gavla and the other Av-Matoran back post-canon?
-If possible, feel free to try writing something set in one of my existing AUs!

Takanuva/Gali prompts: play-fighting or training for battle together, little early attempts at flirting either in Karda Nui or on Mata Nui, AU where Takua has phantom memories of Gali while on Metru Nui, glimpsing what they might be like in the Kingdom AU (one of the canon AUs of the multiverse), post-canon exploration of Spherus Magna's seas, roleswap AU, escaping to a shared mindscape to distract from work, confessions/first kiss/etc., AU where Takanuva goes more feral in Karda Nui and Gali has to stop him (permanently or not), similarly, Gali's darker side showing (or her being taken over by Shadow Gali) and how Takanuva reacts to it, etc.

Gavla/Midak prompts: post-canon interactions, comparison/contrasts of their time as Matoran, Toa AU, discovering shared interests, Gavla opening up to someone, Midak being delighted with Gavla's Av-Matoran abilities, conflict in a more domestic/rivalry way instead of fundamentals, character studies, etc.

The Protomen Rock Opera
Fandom-specific DNWs:
-Romantic feelings between Roll and Mega Man or Proto Man
-Hopeless endings

Fandom-specific interests:
-Robot 'biology' and abilities
-Robot and human friendships or rivalries
-Comparison/contrast between Proto Man and Mega Man
-Roll being a symbol of hope, whether she's a robot or a human
-Logistics -- how did Dr. Light build both Proto Man and Mega Man without being noticed?
-Anything with Proto Man surviving or coming back after Sons of Fate, he's my favorite!
-References to the lyrics of the songs!

Roll & Mega Man prompts: Roll helping Mega Man survive the aftermath of Sons of Fate, backstory for Roll (is she human or Machine, and who made her if she is a Machine?), canon continuation (though I know we're already getting act III soon!), Mega Man being unwilling allies with Roll, Roll being a rebel against Wily but in a different way than Mega Man tried to, worldbuilding what it's like to be under Wily in general, hopeful ending/continuation where they do break free of The City, etc.

Mega Man & Proto Man prompts: Unlikely team-up moments, Proto Man finding ways to help Mega Man even on opposing sides, play-fighting, hurt/comfort situations with Proto Man's energy core disability, canon divergence AUs where Proto Man isn't on Wily's side, timeloop from Unrest in the House of Light -> Sons of Fate which only breaks if Proto Man and Mega Man both survive it (I might end up writing that myself at some point, tbh!), etc.

Dr. Light & Mega Man & Proto Man prompts: Moments when Proto Man protects his dad or brother, despite everything, looking at how Dr. Light built Proto (I love technobabble), Dr. Light acting fatherly whether Proto Man is on his side or not, Proto Man's loyalties being torn between Wily and his father/brother, fix-its, roleswaps, etc.

Roll & Mega Man & Proto Man prompts: Roll & Mega Man teaming up against Proto Man, more aggressive/intense arguments, hostage situations (who would Wily decide to capture, and would it throw a wrench in his plans if Proto Man disagreed?), explorations of how each character would react to Proto Man returning, attempts to rescue Proto Man (successful or otherwise), unwilling team-ups in interesting situations, more humor-focused attempts at infiltrating Wily's fortress, etc.

Minecraft: Story Mode
Fandom-specific DNWs:
- Female or nonbinary Jesse
- AUs which treat the characters as people playing the characters instead of the characters living within the world

Fandom-specific interests:
-Male Jesse/Petra as a battle couple
-Petra's interactions with other characters, in general
-The messed up possibilities for a continuation of Xara and Romeo's arc (or alternately, a happier ending for them both)
-How the game treats Minecraft as the setting rather than using it as a portal fantasy world (looking at you, "A Minecraft Movie")
-Admin Powers and how they're used
-the Wither Sickness aesthetic, even if it's horrible and painful and the only reason I like it is because Petra let her barriers down as a result of it.
-Life while adventuring/post season 2
-Mutual Pining for M!Jesse/Petra
-Friends to Enemies to Lovers for Romeo/Xara
-Petra and Xara's similarities
-Xara somehow still having Admin powers (giving Romeo a small taste of his own medicine?)

If you write something focused on Xara and Romeo, you don't need to include Jesse and Petra, and vice versa (you don't need to include Xara and Romeo if you're focused on Jesse and Petra) I'd be happy with a story that does include everyone though!

Romeo the Admin/Xara prompts: post-canon interactions (fluff or angst), canon divergence AUs (how would they have gotten along if Romeo didn't kill Fred?), their responsibilities as Admins, origin story of how the Admins got their powers, their first meetings, interactions while Xara was Prisoner X, Xara giving Romeo a taste of his own medicine, roleswap AUs, the confrontation between the Admins or foreshadowing leading up to it, etc.

M!Jesse/Petra prompts: meet-cute, meet-messy, Petra teaching Jesse how to fight, how they'd react to things in newer Minecraft updates (the Warden? Pillagers? Drowned? Up to you!), canon divergence AUs (feel free to check out ones I've written for inspiration!), post-canon fluff, life as traders/mercenaries on the road, Petra's work connections, canon divergence AUs, moments where the two of them don't get along well (an enemies to lovers variation?), stuff focused on the issues with friendship, pining, etc.

Ghost Rider (Comics)
Fandom-specific DNWs:
-Removing/minimizing Gabe's canon disabilities
-Removing Robbie's powers/no powers AU

Fandom-specific interests:
-Eli and Robbie's deal
-Outsider perspectives trying to make sense of Robbie and Eli's situation (Isabella/Fantasma?)
-Robbie and Gabe's family dynamics, especially with the added complications of Eli
-Robbie's street racing, and how his Ghost Rider abilities affect it
-Anything set during the Ghost Racers arc, especially continuations!
-Backstory/character-focused content for Fantasma
-Robbie serving as a flawed mentor figure for Fantasma
-Unexpected/fun team-ups between all requested characters
-Moments when Eli's serial killer knowledge comes in handy, and Robbie has to deal with that

Overall, if you focus on the story as told in the solo runs and Fantasma's introduction in the 2024 special, I'm likely to enjoy it!

Inner Gold - Lindsey Stirling feat. Royal & the Serpent
Fandom-specific interests:
-Magic and meaning behind the ink/gold coming from within the characters
-Elements of suspense/thrill in escaping the expectations set upon them
-The Inspectors and their true goals
-Day-to-day life with The Inspectors and then after being freed
-Meanings behind the rigid dancing vs. the freestyle
-Where did Lindsey Stirling's character find her violin? Was it part of the magic too?

I know this is a bit vague, but I'd be interested in expanding the worldbuilding and character interactions from what we saw throughout the music video!

Feel free to look through my journal at past prompts for more ideas!

DNWs:

- Incest, including adopted and step-relations (technical exception: Takua and Gali in the Unlucky Mata AU, because I messed up and made him seem like an adopted relative of the sextuplets)

- Underage (under 18) sex - depiction or discussion

- Rape - depiction or discussion

- Explicit sex or references to off-screen sex (primarily as innuendoes -- pregnant female characters aren't a problem)

Specific requests ahead.

Unlucky Mata+
(Bionicle - All Media Types, Keeper of the Lost Cities - Shannon Messenger)

Characters I'd love to see depicted in a fusion where Keeper characters become Bionicle:
Sophie Foster or Fitz Vacker (Toa of Psionics much?), Marella Redek (easy, Toa of Fire), Linh Song (Toa of Water), Jensi (Matoran, Plantlife), Ro as a Vortixx or Steltian would be interesting -- just experiment with it!
Alternately, if you'd rather worldbuild around a similar conflict between secret organizations in a "fractured utopia" like in Keeper of the Lost Cities, it could be interesting to build it in the Kingdom universe!

Characters I'd love to see depicted in a fusion where Bionicle characters become elves from KOTLC:
Gali, Takanuva, (any of the Toa Nuva, really), Krakua, Artakha, Helryx, Tuyet, Jaller, -- these are a lot of characters I've shown in my Unlucky Mata series, and I would love to see your take on the universe or whatever scenes you'd like to depict in art. I love elemental abilities, both in Bionicle and KOTLC, and the differences between the two universes would be fun to merge into a fusion AU!

Ghost Riding Cybertronians
(Ghost Rider (Marvel Comics), Transformers: Prime)

I love love love the idea of Gabe Reyes and Robbie Reyes interacting with Team Prime as they do in my AllSpark Ghost Rider series. Alternately, making Gabe and Robbie into spark siblings who crashed on Earth as Cybertronians is also an interesting concept to me -- two Transformers against a hostile world. If you aren't fans of the All-New Ghost Rider cast or aren't as familiar with Ghost Riders, depicting any of the Team Prime characters or Decepticons with a skeleton vibe and black and chrome details, on fire, as befitting the Ghost Rider aesthetic, I'd love to see that as well!!

Robots and More!
(Tetsuwan Atom | Astro Boy, Portal (Valve Video Games), Metroid Series)

I'd love to see any of the combinations of Samus, Atom, Uran, Chell, and GLaDOS interacting, primarily in more of a humorous or action-adventure context, or some sort of universe in which GLaDOS has two "younger" humanesque robots to help her test (Atom and Uran). Whatever you can come up with, I love to see it!

Digital Ghosts
(Ghost Rider (Marvel Comics), Tron - All Media Types)

Neon glowing vehicles, skeletal riders, the ghosts of programs and users coming back with vengeance on the mind -- whether you take it with Robbie Reyes and Gabe Reyes as programs, or if you send the Spirits of Vengeance into the Grid as a response to the ISOs and Clu's destruction, I'm excited to see what you create!!

Thank you for checking this out!! :D Hopefully it gives you some ideas!

Hello worldbuilder! I hope you have fun with my prompts I put in the tagset, but this should hopefully provide more jumping-off points and better clarification on my DNWs. Treats are, as always, welcome/encouraged.

Specific Fandoms ahead.

Bionicle (Generation 1)

Fandom-specific interests:

-Gali and Takua/Takanuva's mind link. but also anything with them as a couple, I am starved lol

-Matau and Nokama as a couple :D

-Literally anywhere you can fit in powers being affected by emotion but especially with a romantic bent

-Fun/silly uses of elemental powers

-LOVE IS CANON.

-Anything happy/fluffy, slice of life, post-canon, wherever you can fit it

- Variations/expansion on Matoran Culture. Yeah, we all know "Unity, Duty, Destiny." What about the virtues specific to different types of Matoran, and the jobs they do in accordance. What do they do for fun?

-If possible, feel free to try writing something set in one of my existing AUs!

WB: Av-Matoran Culture
We got a taste of this in the first bits and pieces of the Phantoka arc and some of the flashbacks, but nothing really covered how the Av-Matoran lived within Karda Nui and how the other Av-Matoran besides Takua got incorporated into other Matoran culture. What exactly were the Av-Matoran in Karda Nui working on? If Takua was the first Av-Matoran to become a Toa of Light, how do the Makuta know Av-Matoran have a higher chance of becoming Toa? Do Av-Matoran get along well with the other types of Matoran on Spherus Magna? Was Takua an oddball when he was in Karda Nui like Gavla? How did he interact with his friends before the mind wipe? Does he ever get the memories of being friends with Tanma and Gavla and the other Av-Matoran back post-canon?

WB: Mental and Practical Effects of having moral Light drained (Bionicle)
Seeing as Takanuva the reckless cinnamon roll became Twilight Takanuva the angsty, powerful warrior, it seems like having moral Light drained can affect the personality along with abilities of those it happens to. So if both Takanuva and Gavla were somewhat of loners before, how much did having her moral light drained cause that in Gavla? Did she ever have Av-Matoran friends in the past? How does she adjust to becoming a part of the Matoran culture on Spherus Magna? Does she ever interact with the Shadow Takanuvas pulled from other universes? I just want to know more about these characters and what exactly happens when you lose the Light that you're so intrinsically a part of. I'm fine with Takua/Gavla if it lends itself to your idea!

WB: Romantic (non-sexual) relationships between Toa (Bionicle)

For this, I primarily am just hoping to see what exactly this entails. Do Toa become stronger when they have a close bond with someone, or is it a weakness? Does it vary? How do they show affection, and how do teams with Toa who have a bond interact? I'm pretty flexible in my definition of romantic (see the fics where I've written one character bringing another food as romantic, and others where it's just, these two interact and are nice to each other, so it counts as a ship) so don't be worried about it not being Romantic Enough.
For Gali/Takanuva, I don't mind it being set immediately after Takua becomes Takanuva, or later in the Karda Nui or Ignition arcs, so long as it's got them both. Bonus if you'd like to try and worldbuild some stuff around post-canon situations since we didn't get to see much of that!
For Matau/Nokama, any setting where they fit is fine, but I especially enjoy their interactions as Turaga and during the Hordika arc.

Takanuva/Gali prompts: play-fighting or training for battle together, post-canon exploration of Spherus Magna's seas, roleswap AU, escaping to a shared mindscape to distract from work, confessions/first kiss/etc.

Matau/Nokama prompts: Hordika arc fluff, role reversal where Nokama makes advances first, silly flirting methods, quiet moments on the island while they're Turaga, team-ups, times when they did succeed in communicating well, gift-giving vs. acts of service, flying together, etc.

WB: Effects of Emotion on Elemental Powers
Throughout Bionicle it seems to be implied that Toa sometimes show their emotions through their abilities (see Tahu heating up when he's angry, Gali causing floods on accident, etc.) and yet it's never fully explored how much it affects everyday life. Does using their abilities unconsciously expend a lot of elemental energy? Do they have to restrain themselves from causing a lot of damage with accidental power use? And what exactly does Takanuva with a crush look like, if he can change colors? (Again -- I really like Takanuva/Gali so this would be another prompt that I think would fit them!) I could picture closeness with a partner of another element perhaps giving each other some strange overlaps/combinations of abilities, or at the very least learning each other's limits quite well.

WB: Celebrations in Matoran/Toa Culture
We have one Matoran holiday, Naming Day, yes -- but what about all the others? It seems as if Naming Day was brought over from Metru Nui to Mata Nui, but I'm sure there were other types of celebrations that couldn't overlap, whether because of the mass amnesia or because of technology loss. What were celebrations like on the different islands? Do the Turaga miss stuff from Metru Nui they couldn't replicate? Were some of those celebrations returned on Spherus Magna once all the Matoran reunited? This is also a perfect place to work in gift-giving traditions or food worldbuilding, since we know Matoran on Mata Nui had to eat to keep up their energy.


Minecraft: Story Mode (Video Game)

Fandom-specific likes:
- Admin Powers and how they're used (shapeshifting, telekinesis, commands, etc.)

- How the game treats Minecraft as the actual world and not like an extension of players/how the characters seem to not know it's a game they're in (looking at you, A Minecraft Movie)

- Xara/Romeo, because they're both so messed up and oddly perfect for each other. I fully understand they're more likely to kill each other than get together, but I feel like because they have such similar experiences even if from entirely different angles that they could have a far-future second chance romance.

-Worldbuilding around the pre-canon past when all three Admins were still friends

-During canon, the logistics of the Sunshine Institute and keeping Xara there

-Canon divergence where Xara remains an Admin or becomes an Admin again

-Romeo's dramatic self lol

WB: Source of Admin Powers
Look, we know nothing of this. I've seen theories they were always that way and then getting turned mortal was out of place, I've seen theories that they were human once and became Admins through potions, the debug stick, Herobrine, etc. I'd be fine exploring any angles here -- is there mythology from the Underneath about how it happened? Does Fred's Journal saying that he wanted to "make Romeo what he once was" refer to him being human, or him being kind? Give me your best shot at a history of the Admins if this is what calls to you!
I enjoy Xara/Romeo but will enjoy just about anything exploring these topics.

WB: Admin Duties/Pastimes
I've seen saddeningly few fics or art exploring what the Admins were like before they fell out with each other, besides knowing what they liked to do (Romeo - combat, Xara - engineering, Fred - farming/enchanting). Tell me about how they protected the world that eventually became the Underneath. Show me how they create new creatures or what they do for fun. What made Romeo decide to imprison Xara instead of killing her outright like he did to Fred? Was it love, or something else?

WB: Variety/Specialties in Admin Powers
Although we didn't get to see much of Xara and Fred's specific powers, we do get to see their color schemes, and all three admins seem to line up with the three dimensions of the Minecraft world -- Nether (Romeo), End (Xara), and Overworld (Fred). I could totally see that being a hint as to what their specialties in powers are -- Romeo having connections to the Nether explains how much he enjoys building with Lava, while Xara being aligned with the End gives her magic a certain flair. Did Romeo steal away some of the other Admin's powers when he defeated them? Or did they all have the same powers and just use them differently?

WB: Xara's Escape Attempts from the Sunshine Institute
Every Single Person in the Sunshine Institute, including the Warden, seems to be afraid of Xara. How did that happen? How often did she try to escape -- and did Romeo ever have to get involved to stop her? As an engineer, did she ever make it easier for others to escape, or did she only help herself? I would love to see some sort of record or report from the Warden communicating with Romeo about her escapes, I feel like that would have some funny opportunities. She seemed to know the Underneath was there, and Binta had said she wasn't seen for a long while -- how far did she get before being recaptured?

Tron - All Media Types

Fandom-specific likes:

- Sam/Quorra (Romantic, but I'd be happy to see them platonic as well) He's the son of her mentor but they didn't know each other until the end of her world, practically -- and then she has to adjust to his world.

- Tron/Yori, especially as a married couple (because, c'mon, that love scene?)

- Parallels and differences between the human and digital worlds

- Original characters and different systems than the Grid and the Encom System

- Program and User interactions

- Quorra exploring the User World

- Incorporating elements of Tron 2.0 into the rest of the canon


WB: Program and User Communication
We see Tron and Alan communicate in '82, and Flynn communicating with Clu 1 in '82 as well, but after that, we don't see a whole lot about this. How often do miscommunications happen? What program idioms confuse humans? What is it like for Tron to be in such an isolated system, with no contact to Alan-One? What is it like if he and Quorra adjust to the analog world?

WB: Post-Legacy Fallout (Tron)
Tron Lives, but what exactly happens after reintegration within the grid? Alternatively, what happens when Quorra starts living in the human world? Did Sam try to keep Quorra's identity a secret from the media, and did it work? How do Quorra and Sam see each other and the human world after the events of Tron: Legacy? Does Quorra ever find out that Jules Verne died?

WB: Program Culture Pre-Tron 1982 (Tron)
When Encom wasn't yet overtaken by the MCP and Alan and Lora were still working on Tron and Yori, what was life like for the programs? I'd love to see an origin story for how Tron and Yori met, or when Tron was first rezzed in. Also, where does their relationship go from friends to romance, and how do programs in the Encom System see marriage? What were the first changes the MCP made to their world, and how did it affect them?

Pluto (Manga)

Fandom-specific likes:

- Atom and Uran's sibling relationship

- Robot 'biology' and abilities

- Robot and human friendships or rivalries

- Parallels between Atom and Brau 1589

- Atom's backstory

- Atom having sensory issues because of his enhanced senses

- Uran's empath abilities and how they affect her

WB: Uran's Empath Abilities
Did Dr. Ochanomizu know when he was creating Uran that she'd have such intense empathy? Was it intended, or a side effect of some other reason behind making her? Does Uran ever regret having her abilities? How does Atom feel about the fact Uran knows his every mood swing? What exactly causes her abilities -- is it something based on understanding brain chemistry or electronics, or is it something supernatural? Does it work best on people she knows?

WB: Atom and Dr. Tenma's relationship post-canon (Pluto)
They didn't even speak to each other after Dr. Tenma repaired him!! Do they ever reunite for real? Does Dr. Tenma know just how terrible he was to Atom at first, and does he regret it? Does Dr. Tenma change his mind on Atom being a failed creation? Atom likely prefers contacting/working with Professor Ochanomizu, but does he ever decide to speak with Dr. Tenma again? Did Dr. Tenma get arrested for helping to create Goji? Will he ever call Atom his son?

Pirates of the Caribbean

Fandom-specific likes:
-Willabeth!!

-Pirate King Elizabeth Swann

-Will as Captain of the Flying Dutchman

-Syrena and Calypso as complicated characters but not necessarily evil

-Battle couple moments

-Action-adventure stories

-Willabeth children, especially raised on the high seas

-Calypso/Davy Jones

-sea metaphors

-underwater/otherwise mysterious and magical locations

WB: Will Turner as Captain of the Flying Dutchman
Will Turner became captain at the end of At World's End, changing his destiny and effectively cursing him to immortality and only one day on land every ten years. Davy Jones had been the captain before, but clearly had some issues with actually doing his job. Does Will do better at ferrying souls? Does he ever get news of Elizabeth -- or even better, to see and be with her? What threatens the souls on their way to the Locker or Fiddler's Green? Does Will's crew respect him? Show me how he uses the unique abilities of the captain and expand on what they are!!

WB: Duties of the Pirate King
Similarly, Elizabeth Swann became a Pirate Lord and then the Pirate King at the end of their trilogy, a pirate in her own right. I can't believe she'd ever stay on land, even to raise her and Will's children, so what is it like for her to take care of a child on the high seas? Where are her favorite ports? Does the East India Trading Company fear her? What exactly does it mean to be the Pirate King? Does she help keep the world from getting smaller, as Barbossa might say? And how often does she meet with Will on the seas, despite the ten years rule?

WB: Mermaids and the Flying Dutchman
Look, for this one I kinda just want to see how Will would react to meeting Syrena. However, I still have overall questions -- did Davy Jones respect the mermaids? Does dying to a mermaid count as dying at sea, and what kind of shape are souls in after that? I'm sure Will would've passed through mermaid waters in the Dutchman at some point, how did it go? Do the mermaids try to drown the already-in-service crew of the Dutchman, or are they not allowed to?

WB: Myths and Legends about Calypso
The story of Davy Jones and Calypso is repeated and reflected throughout the Pirates trilogy, but I'm sure there are other legends about Calypso in this universe. Did Elizabeth being mistaken for Calypso by Sao Feng create another? Did Calypso create protections for her mermaids or Davy Jones when she established the title of captain? Does Calypso care for the mermaids as daughters, or soldiers? Does she walk Fiddler's Green in a human form? Did Davy Jones' soul ever return to her? How many people recognized her as Calypso when she was bound in her bones, and did they live to tell the tale?

Thank you for reading all of this!! If you're still stumped and want to see previous prompts I've given for more ideas, check out my other dear author letters!

Hello reader! I hope you have fun with my prompts I put in the tagset, but this should hopefully provide more jumping-off points and better clarification on my DNWs. Treats are, as always, welcome/encouraged.


DNWs:


- Incest, including adopted and step-relations.

- Underage (under 18) sex - depiction or discussion.

- Rape - depiction or discussion.

- Explicit sex or references to off-screen sex.

- Unrequested changes to a canon character's sexuality/gender/race/etc.

- Graphic depictions of violence. Canon-typical violence is an exception, but dismemberment squicks me.

- Harming children 12 and under severely or permanently. Being scared, upset, or temporarily injured (scrapes, bruises) are fine.

- Harm to pet animals, unless the animal is rescued and safe by the end of the story.

- Cruelty to animals, clean deaths are OK but not generally wanted either.

- Crossovers w/ RPF or unrequested fandoms

- Unrequested ships. If I say a ship in a different part of my request, it's not unrequested. Background OC ships are generally OK.

- Sinking requested ships if you choose to write them platonic. (Don't have them say "I could only see you as a friend", etc.)

- Character death for requested characters. I may be okay with canon character deaths but if there are specific characters pointed out in my requests, I'd rather not read about them dying unless noted otherwise.

- AI-generated works.


Likes!!:

- Fluff/slice of life, especially for characters who don't get a lot of that in canon.

- Focus on canon friendships

- Missing scenes/little added details that weren't in canon

- Happy endings

- Hurt/Comfort, especially between friends and ships

- Physical affection (between friends and between romantic ships)

- Food-centric worldbuilding. Make me hungry for foods that don't exist (or that do!)

- Requested ships being awesome in battle together (or alternatively, how they stick up for each other in everyday situations)

- Shenanigans (prank wars, random in-character goofy situations, friendly banter, if superpowers are involved, messing around with superpowers)

- Cats. If you can include a cat and want to include a cat, please include a cat!

- Transformations and/or showing off abilities, for canons involving superhuman abilities. Mild body horror/focus on the transformation aspect is OK here but see previous DNWs about violence.

- Soap or bubblegum bubbles, especially gigantic ones. Works well when combined with shenanigans. This doesn't have to be realistic either.

- Crossovers between requested fandoms.

- Canon Divergence AUs (e.g. what-ifs)

- Treats! I am okay with treats of any kind, so long as it's not something going against my DNWs!


Specific Fandoms ahead.

Bionicle (Generation 1)

Fandom-specific interests:
-Gali and Takua/Takanuva's mind link. but also anything with them as a couple, I am starved lol (If you write them as a couple as the main focus, you don't need to include Tanma or Gavla if you don't want to)
-Literally anywhere you can fit in powers being affected by emotion but especially with a romantic bent
-Fun/silly uses of elemental powers
-LOVE IS CANON.
-Anything happy/fluffy, slice of life, post-canon, wherever you can fit it
-Av-Matoran culture worldbuilding (this is where I'd want the character subset of Takua, Gavla, and Tanma)
-Was Takua an oddball when he was in Karda Nui like Gavla? How did he interact with his friends before the mind wipe? Does he ever get the memories of being friends with Tanma and Gavla and the other Av-Matoran back post-canon? (No need to include Gali if you go off this prompt, but props if you do/can)
-If possible, feel free to try writing something set in one of my existing AUs!

Takanuva/Gali prompts: play-fighting or training for battle together, post-canon exploration of Spherus Magna's seas, roleswap AU, escaping to a shared mindscape to distract from work, confessions/first kiss/etc.

Takua & Gavla & Tanma prompts: friendship dynamics, learning sentience from Takua, hide and seek: color camouflage mode!, friends make the work go faster, post-canon reconciliation with Gavla, post-canon with Gavla and Tanma as Toa, etc.

Minecraft: Story Mode

Fandom-specific interests:
-Male Jesse/Petra as a battle couple
-Petra's interactions with other characters, in general
-The messed up possibilities for a continuation of Xara and Romeo's arc (or alternately, a happier ending for them both)
-How the game treats Minecraft as the setting rather than using it as a portal fantasy world (looking at you, "A Minecraft Movie")
-Admin Powers and how they're used
-the Wither Sickness aesthetic, even if it's horrible and painful and the only reason I like it is because Petra let her barriers down as a result of it.
-Life while adventuring/post season 2
-Mutual Pining for M!Jesse/Petra
-Friends to Enemies to Lovers for Romeo/Xara
-Petra and Xara's similarities
-Xara somehow still having Admin powers (giving Romeo a small taste of his own medicine?)

If you write something focused on Xara and Romeo, you don't need to include Jesse and Petra, and vice versa (you don't need to include Xara and Romeo if you're focused on Jesse and Petra) I'd be happy with a story that does include everyone though!

Prompts for Male Jesse/Petra centric fics: post-canon angst with the Stay in Beacontown ending, meet-cute or meet-messy, Petra teaching Jesse how to fight, how they'd react to things in newer Minecraft updates (the Warden? Pillagers? Drowned? Up to you!), canon divergence AUs (feel free to check out ones I've written for inspiration!), post-canon fluff, life as traders/mercenaries on the road, Petra's work connections, etc.

Prompts for Romeo/Xara centric fics: post-canon interactions (fluff or angst), roleswap AUs, interactions while Xara was Prisoner X, canon divergence AUs (how would they have gotten along if Romeo didn't kill Fred?), their responsibilities as Admins, origin story of how the Admins got their powers, etc.

Ghost Rider (comics)

Fandom-specific interests:
-Eli and Robbie's deal
-Outsider perspectives trying to make sense of Robbie and Eli's situation (Lisa?)
-Robbie and Gabe's family dynamics, especially with the added complications of Eli
-Robbie's street racing, and how his Ghost Rider abilities affect it
-Lisa trying to make up for when Gabe ran off (hopefully successful if you can keep that in character for all involved)
-Robbie and Lisa getting to know each other better - what would it take for Robbie to reveal to her that he's La Leyenda?
-Anything set during the Ghost Racers arc, especially continuations!

Pluto (Manga)

Fandom-specific interests:
-Atom and Uran's sibling relationship
-Robot 'biology' and abilities
-Robot and human friendships or rivalries
-Atom's backstory
-Atom having sensory issues because of his enhanced senses
-Uran's empath abilities and how they affect her
-Atom being protective of Uran, Dr. Tenma, and Prof. Ochanomizu (even if Dr. Tenma isn't nice to him back)
-Dr. Tenma and Professor Ochanomizu as friends

If you're doing something focused specifically around Atom's backstory, or Atom & Dr. Tenma, you don't need to include Uran or Ochanomizu. If you're focusing on Atom & Uran, the other two characters are optional as well. I'd prefer nothing that's just Dr. Tenma and Professor Ochanomizu without either of the robot siblings playing a major part.

Feel free to look at my past requests from other exchanges on my Dreamwidth for more inspiration!

Specific Fandoms ahead.

Bionicle (Generation 1):

Fandom-specific likes:

- Elemental Powers!! Let me see those cool abilities in action! And especially how they might accidentally get used in tandem with emotion.

- Variations/expansion on Matoran Culture. Yeah, we all know "Unity, Duty, Destiny." What about the virtues specific to different types of Matoran, and the jobs they do in accordance. What do they do for fun?

- Gali and Takua|Takanuva's Mental Link. Look, it's canon, and they literally never said they got rid of it, it was just suppressed when Gali went into Mangaia. I feel like there's a lot of room to explore how they interact through it and how it evolves as the characters do.

- Differences between alternate versions of characters (see, Takanuva and Shadow Takanuva are *technically* two different characters and should be explored as such)

WB: Romantic (non-sexual) relationships between Toa (Bionicle)

For this, I primarily am just hoping to see what exactly this entails. Do Toa become stronger when they have a close bond with someone, or is it a weakness? Does it vary? How do they show affection, and how do teams with Toa who have a bond interact? I'm pretty flexible in my definition of romantic (see the fics where I've written one character bringing another food as romantic, and others where it's just, these two interact and are nice to each other, so it counts as a ship) so don't be worried about it not being Romantic Enough.
Primary ship I'm hoping for would be Gali/Takanuva, and I don't mind it being set immediately after Takua becomes Takanuva, or later in the Karda Nui or Ignition arcs, so long as it's got them both. Bonus if you'd like to try and worldbuild some stuff around post-canon situations since we didn't get to see much of that!

WB: Mental and Practical Effects of having moral Light drained (Bionicle)

Seeing as Takanuva the reckless cinnamon roll became Twilight Takanuva the angsty, powerful warrior, it seems like having moral Light drained can affect the personality along with abilities of those it happens to. So if both Takanuva and Gavla were somewhat of loners before, how much did having her moral light drained cause that in Gavla? Did she ever have Av-Matoran friends in the past? How does she adjust to becoming a part of the Matoran culture on Spherus Magna? Does she ever interact with the Shadow Takanuvas pulled from other universes? I just want to know more about these characters and what exactly happens when you lose the Light that you're so intrinsically a part of.

WB: Av-Matoran Culture (Bionicle)

We got a taste of this in the first bits and pieces of the Phantoka arc and some of the flashbacks, but nothing really covered how the Av-Matoran lived within Karda Nui and how the other Av-Matoran besides Takua got incorporated into other Matoran culture. Did they all feel so out of place like he did? What exactly were the Av-Matoran in Karda Nui working on? If Takua was the first Av-Matoran to become a Toa of Light, how do the Makuta know Av-Matoran have a higher chance of becoming Toa? Do Av-Matoran get along well with the other types of Matoran on Spherus Magna?

WB: Unconventional uses of Elemental Abilities (Bionicle)

Throughout Bionicle it seems to be implied that Toa sometimes show their emotions through their abilities (see Tahu heating up when he's angry, Gali causing floods on accident, etc.) and yet it's never fully explored how much it affects everyday life. How do Toa use their abilities for mundane things? Does using their abilities unconsciously expend a lot of elemental energy? Do they have to restrain themselves from causing a lot of damage with accidental power use? And what exactly does Takanuva with a crush look like, if he can change colors? (Again -- I really like Takanuva/Gali so this would be another prompt that I think would fit them!)

H2O: Just Add Water

Fandom-specific Likes:

- "OH NAUR WE JUST GOT WET" and the resulting shenanigans of hiding their mermaid abilities

- Alternatively, what does it take for a mermaid to trust someone with their true form?

- Using mermaid abilities in sneaky ways (or not-so-sneaky ways)

- Bella being included in the group

- Mermaid/human relationships (especially Cleo/Lewis, but also Will/Bella, Emma/Ash, and Rikki/Zane)

- Lewis' technobabble about how mermaid biology works

- Wacky full moon effects, as opposed to more romantic or creepy ones


WB: Mermaid Biology while in human form (H2O)

If the mermaid crew can still use their powers in human form so easily, there have to be other things that cross over between the two. Can they hold their breath abnormally long while human, too? Are there differences in their DNA that can differentiate them? Basically, anything expanding on what mermaids are like in human form, especially if it's narrated by Lewis.

WB: Cause of Full Moon madness (H2O)

We know it happens during the full moon and that it's affected by the type of moon (blue moon, moon of fifty years, etc.) but what exactly causes mermaids to react SO much to the full moon? Is it related to the tides? Just because it's the reason behind their abilities? Is there mythology about this that leaked to the human world from past mermaids?

WB: Mermaid Pods compared to lone mermaid experiences (H2O)

What did Bella have to deal with as the only mermaid in her group (until she met Rikki and Cleo)? Do her parents know about her abilities, since she didn't have other mermaids to talk to about it? Did she ever interact with other mermaids before meeting the main trio? Is it more common for mermaids to be created in pods like the trio, or alone like Bella or Charlotte? How does Emma interact with Bella, Rikki, and Cleo once they reunite?

WB: Alternative Mermaid Abilities (H2O)

Since Bella's abilities are entirely different from Cleo, Emma, and Rikki's, what other mermaid abilities exist? Are there ways to alter a mermaid's abilities or swap them? Why did Charlotte get all three Mako Island abilities and Bella only has two abilities from the Irish Moon Pool? Feel free to create OCs for this one, I'd love to see what abilities you come up with!

Pluto (Manga)

Specific Likes:

- Atom and Uran's sibling relationship

- Robot 'biology' and abilities

- Robot and human friendships or rivalries

- Parallels between Atom and Brau 1589

- Atom's backstory

- Atom having sensory issues because of his enhanced senses

- Uran's empath abilities and how they affect her


WB: Uran's Empath Abilities

Did Dr. Ochanomizu know when he was creating Uran that she'd have such intense empathy? Was it intended, or a side effect of some other reason behind making her? Does Uran ever regret having her abilities? How does Atom feel about the fact Uran knows his every mood swing? What exactly causes her abilities -- is it something based on understanding brain chemistry or electronics, or is it something supernatural?


WB: Robot Identification Systems

When and how did robot identification systems become a normal fixture of life in PLUTO? Were they a result of the robot laws, or a natural progression from how realistic robots became? Do robots like or dislike these systems, and what is their purpose? And how do robot identification systems work, anyway (either internal ones belonging to the robots, or the external ones used to tell humans from robots)?


WB: Brau's Crime and the Media Response to it

What exactly happened 8 years ago when Brau killed a human? Who did he kill, and why? And how much did the media truly report about the situation? Did his actions cause changes in the law? How did he do it in the first place? Was the spear through him a result of his own actions or a police officer discovering the situation? Why is he so damaged but still functioning eight years later?


Minecraft: Story Mode

Likes:
- M!Jesse/Petra (romantic but also platonic) because they're an awesome battle couple but also just, like, good friends despite everything that's happened to them.

- Petra's character and backstory. She seems like the type to be a lone wolf until she really latches onto someone.

- Admin Powers and how they're used (shapeshifting, telekinesis, commands, etc.)

- How the game treats Minecraft as the actual world and not like an extension of players/how the characters seem to not know it's a game they're in

- Xara/Romeo, because they're both so messed up and oddly perfect for each other. I fully understand they're more likely to kill each other than get together, but I feel like because they have such similar experiences even if from entirely different angles that they could have a far-future second chance romance.

- the Wither Sickness aesthetic, even if it's horrible and painful and the only reason I like it is because Petra let her barriers down as a result of it.


WB: Source of Admin Powers

Look, we know nothing of this. I've seen theories they were always that way and then getting turned mortal was out of place, I've seen theories that they were human once and became Admins through potions, the debug stick, Herobrine, etc. I'd be fine exploring any angles here -- is there mythology from the Underneath about how it happened? Does Fred's Journal saying that he wanted to "make Romeo what he once was" refer to him being human, or him being kind? Give me your best shot at a history of the Admins if this is what calls to you!
I enjoy Xara/Romeo but will enjoy just about anything exploring these topics.


WB: Admin Duties/Pastimes

I've seen saddeningly few fics or art exploring what the Admins were like before they fell out with each other, besides knowing what they liked to do (Romeo - combat, Xara - engineering, Fred - farming/enchanting). Tell me about their powers and how they differ from each other, or how they protected the world that eventually became the Underneath. Show me how they create new creatures or what they do for fun. What made Romeo decide to imprison Xara instead of killing her outright like he did to Fred? Was it love, or something else?

WB: Petra's Work Connections

We know Petra met/heard of Jack because of his adventuring prowess. Well, how about explaining how she got a Wither Skeleton Skull to give to Ivor in the first place. How did she get a Nether Star for the Ocelots? Did she create and defeat a Wither, or did someone she knows do it and what did she trade them for it? Has she ever gotten Wither Sick before the Wither Storm? Who all does she trade with, and why? Does she know people who Jesse doesn't?

WB: Life as a Trader/Mercenary

After the Hit the Road option at the end of Season 2, how do things go between Petra and Jesse? Does Jesse start to learn how it works to be a trader? What are their adventures like? Does their friendship become something more? Living in a world of Minecraft has to be difficult, but the fact that trading stuff is a major part of life in Story Mode makes me want to hear more about it!


Tron - All Media Types

Likes:
- Sam/Quorra (Romantic, but I'd be happy to see them platonic as well) He's the son of her mentor but they didn't know each other until the end of her world, practically -- and then she has to adjust to his world.

- Parallels and differences between the human and digital worlds

- Original characters and different systems than the Grid and the Encom System

- Program and User interactions

- Quorra exploring the User World

- Incorporating elements of Tron 2.0 into the rest of the canon


WB: Program and User Communication

We see Tron and Alan communicate in '82, and Flynn communicating with Clu 1 in '82 as well, but after that, we don't see a whole lot about this. How often do miscommunications happen? What program idioms confuse humans? What is it like for Tron to be in such an isolated system, with no contact to Alan-One?

WB: Post-Legacy Fallout (Tron)

Tron Lives, but what exactly happens after reintegration within the grid? Alternatively, what happens when Quorra starts living in the human world? Did Sam try to keep Quorra's identity a secret from the media, and did it work? How do Quorra and Sam see each other and the human world after the events of Tron: Legacy? Does Quorra ever find out that Jules Verne died?

WB: Past instances of Programs entering the analog world (Tron)

Was Quorra the first program to ever enter the human world? If not, who was, and how did it happen? Feel free to create original characters for this, or use characters like Jet and Mercury from Tron 2.0. Can a program survive outside the digital world for long, or are they incompatible with it? What are analog-world programs like?


I hope all of this is clear enough and gives you some fun places to jump off from and write! I love you all and am excited to read my gift when it happens!
