Likes

  • Same-sex relationships, especially F/F.
  • Narratives of reconstruction: fixing something, whether that be a country, a piece of equipment, a relationship, or a person. (Examples: Nirvana in Fire, Zuko's arc in Avatar: the Last Airbender)
  • Journeys of discovery, whether the discoverers be the characters or the reader.
  • Redemption arcs. Rehabilitative justice.
  • Narratives where something happens; plot. External conflicts. Casefic. Action/adventure.
  • Comedy of Errors -type things.
  • Crack taken seriously.
  • Untitled Goose Game crossovers of the type where the goose comes to visit the canon.
  • Alien settings: Dyson spheres, ringworlds, planets tidally locked to their red dwarf stars, artificial habitats on otherwise inhospitable planets, planets with large axial tilts, planets that are actually moons of gas giants, etc.
  • Engineering, especially of the sort that keeps civilization running – sewage, maintenance, transport etc – plus fault analysis and infrastructure design stuff.
  • Characters expressing caring for each other by feeding each other/giving each other tea.
  • Established relationships.
  • Good mentor figures/teachers who have their students' best interests at heart and succeed.
  • Class issues and other tensions between origins and current presentation (eg. alien whose species is considered monsters in disguise as a human).
  • Worldbuilding!
  • Weird physics.
  • Tea.
  • Competence porn.
  • Enthusiasm in general.
  • Xenobiology, aliens, very alien aliens.
  • Loyalty, loyalty kink, people loyal way past the point of reasonableness.
  • Loving descriptions of small details/of how systems run; insertion of Shown Their Work details.
  • Happy endings.


I like both shipfic and gen. If you're choosing between something you think the characters would do in a situation and something on my likes list, please err on the side of what you feel is right for the characters and story in general.

DNW

  • Setting change AUs (eg: Hogwarts AU, Coffee Shop AU) (exception: In Space AUs of canons not already In Space are fine)
  • Christianity, mentions of "sinning".
  • Humiliation, especially public.
  • Unrequested incest, including foster/adopted relationships.
  • Stories about motherhood.
  • Unrequested het between humans or humanoid creatures. (Dolphins are fine, spiders are fine, people having parents is fine, the fabric of society being canonical and het-enabling is fine.) (Background Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker is also fine.)
  • Requested characters being presented as/rendered utterly helpless; the "damsel in distress" trope; woobiefication.
  • Stories about mourning unwelcome changes to/realizations about the body, with "body" defined broadly, (ex: acquiring a disability, infertility, weight gain) and the associated grief/angst.
  • Stories about mourning a dead person.
  • Requested characters dying.
  • Stories where the characters have never loved or could never love anyone but each other, incl. soulmates, demisexuality, single-target sexuality, etc.
  • Jedi bashing and Jedi Council bashing. They can be acting on bad information, but I'd like them to be well-intentioned and not be on a mission to be petty and rude to Anakin Skywalker. Canon-compliant fic is 100% fine, but please nothing set in a canon-compliant Order 66.


Star Wars -specific likes/general prompts


  • The Force! I love the space wizards and their vaguely Buddhist philosophy and telekinetic powers
  • Space archaeology! "X and Y take a field trip to ancient Jedi/Sith ruins" is great, discovering ancient artefacts is great, weird BS caused by ancient relics is great
  • Relatedly: the Rakata, or rather, their legacy. Discovering ancient Rakatan devices! Trying to figure out WTF happened with them! Anything dealing with the legacy of the Infinite Empire.
  • Also relatedly: stuff exploring the deeper mysteries of the Force! I personally subscribe to the "Light Side = selfless love, Dark Side = selfish possession" interpretation of George Lucas, so stuff building on that or some sort of comparison with non-Jedi, non-Sith Force users would be cool
  • Padawan raising schmoop! Including the evil Sith version of "Good job torturing those people to death with lightning, apprentice! <3 Here, have a spaceship for your reward."


Porn preferences


My favorite term is "cunt", and second favorite "vulva". Tribbing and thigh-riding are great. Kinkwise, D/s (un- or undernegotiated) is good, as is breathplay, and using the Force for porn.

Familiarity with the Star Wars


I have watched all of The Clone Wars and Rebels, plus Rogue One, read the new Thrawn trilogy, and played Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, both the KOTOR games, SWTOR's Sith Inquisitor and Jedi Knight plotlines plus brought my Sith Inq current with Onslaught.

In addition to the requested characters, I like: (by era)
TCW: Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, Shaak Ti, Wolffe, Fives
SWTOR: Talos Drellik, Darth Marr, Darth Acina
KOTOR: Yuthura Ban, Juhani, HK-47, T3-M4, Bao-Dur

Prompts


Plo Koon & Mace Windu
I don't think we see these two interact one on one, but the possibility is intriguing! Some sort of politicking in the Senate? Clone Wars era military deployment together? Something that really does need two Council members? Bizarre happenings in the Temple basement? Or just the two of them chilling before or after a Council meeting (preparing, comparing notes, bitching about the latest budget BS they have to contend with?) and being friends?

Anakin Skywalker & Mace Windu
I liked that Clone Wars arc where they were on the training ship (that blew up) and had easy banter together. So some sort of missionfic where they cooperate – large diplomatic event between two planets that attach supreme importance to pod racing, Separatists attacking someplace and the 501st and 91st are the only ones close enough to respond, a bizarre Force Ghost starts haunting the Temple basement – would be nice! Or a smaller mishap, like them ending up in the rakghoul-infested sewers of Taris by accident and having to find their way out or something. I'm also open to Anakin Skywalker/Mace Windu, as long as it happens after Anakin's been Knighted.

Female Sith Inquisitor/Vaylin
(WRT names: referring to the Inquisitor by her Darth title – e.g. Darth Nox, or Nox – is fine. Personality preferences include Imperial loyalist, archaeology enthusiast, and pragmatic Sith.) When I saw this in the tagset, my thoughts went to Nox having a defeated Vaylin on a leash, so, uh, that. Having Vaylin kneel at Nox's feet? Some not-so-friendly electrocution? Nox using her as a personal attack hound after returning to the Empire, à la Acina with Malgus? Teaming up to murderate a returned Valkorion?

Female Exile/Visas Marr
(WRT names: Meetra Surik is a fine name for the Exile, though please don't use anything else from SWTOR or other Legends material. Personality-wise, the sole light in a gloomy world or someone who's been corrupted and is out to corrupt her followers are both nice. No psychopathic dark siders, please.) I really enjoyed Visas turning up all supremely devoted to the Exile, so, uh, more of that. The Exile corrupting Visas to the light? The Exile as a lure on an anglerfish, drawing Visas down into the depths with her? Exploring a Sith Lord's tomb together? Going off into the Unknown Regions together to face a threat? Some other sort of mission?

Female Exile/Handmaiden
(WRT names: Meetra Surik is a fine name for the Exile, though please don't use anything else from SWTOR or other Legends material. Personality-wise, the sole light in a gloomy world or someone who's been corrupted and is out to corrupt her followers are both nice. No psychopathic dark siders, please. No preference wrt the Handmaiden being called Brianna or Handmaiden.) The Handmaiden breaks her oath to Atris and learns the Force on the sheer force of personal loyalty to the Exile, so, uh, more of that? The Exile as a lure on an anglerfish, drawing the Handmaiden down into the depths with her? Exploring a Sith Lord's tomb together? Going off into the Unknown Regions together to face a threat? Some other sort of mission?

Female Revan/Bastila Shan
(Revan preferences: cunning Lord of the Sith or inexplicably the most Jedi who ever was. Please ignore all of SWTOR and other Legends material.) There's some delicious potential here for a variety of stuff, starting from the identity stuff to Bastila's issues with being a Jedi. Revan manipulating Bastila to the dark side without Bastila realizing? Bastila being supremely irked at how Revan is much better at this Jedi stuff than she is? Revan taking her revenge on Bastila for the mind wipe? (Noncon 100% OK.) Or missionfic – another Star Map they need to find, crashing on Lehon (Rakata Prime) ahead of schedule, visiting the tomb of a Sith Lord?
