A lot of my prompts might look surprisingly gen for a shipfic exchange! This is because I pefer to prompt for stuff the ship-halves are doing while they're being shippy. Please mentally add "and then they kiss" to the end of each prompt if necessary. I've also noted some of the other characters I like in case you want to make the fic an ensemble one.
My favorite term is "cunt", and second favorite "vulva". Tribbing and thigh-riding are great. For F/F, D/s (un- or undernegotiated) is good, as is breathplay, and using the Force for porn. For M/M, I am boring and want something happy and consensual, and like anal and using the Force for sexual purposes. I'm not keen on oral for any gender configuration.
In addition to the requested, I have watched all of The Clone Wars and Rebels, plus Rogue One, read the new Thrawn trilogy, and played Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. For SWTOR, I've brought a Sith Inqisitor current with the present and played a Jedi Knight through to KOTFE/KOTET, plus done the class stories for the Imperial Agent, Smuggler, and soon the Sith Warrior.
Ship DNWs: Kreia, Revan/Exile
I like both LS and DS versions of both! The LS for an us against the world/trying to fix things feeling, the DS for the possibility for kinky porn and mind games.
The Revan twist was good, so if you want to do identity stuff: do it. I also liked all the ancient archaeology and digging around the Star Maps, so an extra Star Map quest, or things going really wrong on a canon Star Map quest? Excellent. Or the Rakata mind trap, or some other sort of Rakata technology! Investigating the temple on Lehon post-canon? Why did the Rakata build the Star Forge anyway? What is Revan's life like post-canon? Does she take on an apprentice?
With the Exile, I liked how the game was a bit of a mind fuck/mystery narrative, plus the colossal amounts of loyalty most of your companions displayed. Loyalty kink welcome! As above, maybe a missionfic setting? An extra Jedi Master to find? Master Vash is alive on Korriban? A mission blows up in the Exile's face? Or maybe there's a Sith tomb to poke through – an undiscovered one on Korriban? Someone else got buried on Dxun? Maybe a detour to Yavin 4? They return to Malachor to see what it looks like after the ending?
Other characters in the general ensemble I like: HK-47, T3-M4, Bao-Dur, Forn Dodonna, Yuthura Ban
General note: I'm much more into the Republic vs Empire thing than the whole Zakuul mess.
That shot from Malgus's nightmare about Acina shooting him with lightning? Very good. I also liked KOTET chapter 2, with the jungle rainstorm (with lightning) and the ancient Sith tomb. Acina is also hot. Some hands-on Empress-ing? She's the questgiver for the Dread Seeds mission, so something with her bringing someone along for the seeker droid use? Maybe a visit to a Sith Temple – ancient artefacts for the defeat of the Republic? A rival has established a base there, time to go in with her right-hand woman to eliminate them? Visiting Ziost and its Sith tombs before the Cataclysm? Visiting Ziost after the Cataclysm? Investigating Nathema's suitability to be an Imperial outpost?
For the Sith Inquisitor, well, see above about lightning. I love the snark and the sass and the love of archaeology, plus the complicated slave backstory and various opportunities for patriotism. Calling her Darth Imperius/Occlus/Nox is just fine. I'd prefer a nonhuman. As for plots, well, there are always artefacts to discover! Talos suggests excavating something of Naga Sadow's? Khem tips her off on an extra artefact of Tulak Hord? Maybe a field trip to that extragalactic source sending all the signals on Rishi? Nostalgia trip to a tomb on Korriban? A tomb on Ziost survived the cataclysm?
If you're writing Inquisitor/Zash, please don't have Zash in Khem's body.
Other characters in the general ensemble I like: Talos Drellik, Major Anri, Zash, Darth Marr
Fandom-specific DNW: shipping padawans with people who are not also padawans. (So if you want to write Anakin with Quinlan Vos/Kit Fisto/Bail Organa/etc, please wait until he's been knighted.)
Ship DNWs: Palpatine, Dooku, Jango Fett
Opt-in: Any clone trooper portrayed in The Clone Wars (the 3D animation with Ahsoka Tano)
If you pick Anakin/M: Please either have him and Padmé have broken up (mostly-)amicably offscreen, or never have gotten together.
Mace Windu is a good person, decisive, and really good with a lightsaber! Something where he gets to show off his skillz? Clone war battle, Jedi mission, Anakin takes a nap so he can decapitate Sidious in peace? Teaming up for a dangerous/complicated mission? Civilians found some highly dangerous Sith/Rakata/etc artefact that needs to be retrieved? Dooku escaped into a Sith Temple and needs to be stopped? Mace gets trapped by the Senate Budget Committee and desperately needs to be rescued?
On the other hand, Anakin is a disaster. I like him, I do, and prequels-era him is a prime target for a) fixit fic, and b) screwball comedy driven by the Force. So! The Force intervenes in Anakin's life and plays matchmaker? Weird Force bond from touching something that was safe to touch just five minutes ago? Stranded on a Sith planet together? Nonconsensual archaeology expedition-ing? (You may see my id, lol.) Something something Rakata technology? Anakin uncovers T3-M4 or T7-01 from KOTOR/SWTOR and now has two astromechs?
Other characters in the general ensemble I like: Ahsoka Tano, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon, Shaak Ti, Fives
littleblackdressex letter!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 infrastructure design stuff.
- Failure analysis/unraveling the causes of catastrophe, e.g. "why did the plane crash?" (yes, I like Mayday and Admiral Cloudberg)
- 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.

DNW
- Setting change AUs (eg: Hogwarts AU, Coffee Shop AU)
- Christianity, mentions of "sinning".
- Humiliation, especially public.
- Unrequested incest, including foster/adopted relationships.
- Stories about motherhood.
- Unrequested het between humans or humanoid creatures. (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."
