I love epistolary fic, academic pastiche, social media pastiche, outsider POV, slice-of-life fic, primary source documents, academic debates, monks, mysticism, humor, and hopeful endings. Most of all, I'm excited to see what you're excited about!
DNW: Explicit sex scenes, anything sexual involving children, onscreen rape/noncon/sexual assault, BDSM, non-canonical pregnancy or parenthood fic, and infidelity.
Centerpoint Station absolutely fascinates me. What is it like to live in the hollow interior of a space station the size of a planet? Who were the first people to live in Centerpoint, and why did they choose to settle there?
I've been low-key obsessed with holocrons recently – the Legends version of holocrons, that have one or more personalities within them. How sentient really are holocrons? What role do they play in Jedi society – both in the Old Republic and in the rebuilt Jedi Order? What is it like to interact with the holographic echo of someone you knew in life?
I'm generally very interested in Jedi culture and Jedi philosophy, in whatever direction you'd like to explore it! I'm fascinated by the historical development of the Jedi Code and by Jedi mysticism generally. I'd also love to see more about how the Jedi Order operates in day-to-day life as a multispecies society – what does the cafeteria look like? Are there Jedi holidays? We mostly see the Jedi as warriors, but what do their other roles in galactic society look like – as diplomats, scholars, or anything else?

The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien

As far as both the archaeology and manuscript transmission requests go, what's behind them is really a fascination with (a) what survives the sinking of Beleriand, (b) how it survives, and (c) how the surviving material is interpreted and reinterpreted by future scholars (and laypeople!) to recreate the history of Beleriand. What are the gaps that still need to be filled in? Where is the guesswork right – and where is it wrong? Why were these things preserved and not others – was it chance? If it was deliberate, who decided what was to be preserved, and how did they make that decision? Are there questions of authenticity and suspected forgeries?
I'm also very interested in manuscript production in Beleriand. Where and by whom were manuscripts produced? What scripts were used, and how could the uses of particular scripts or different dating systems indicate political affiliation? How did Mannish, Elven, and Dwarven writing practices differ?

General DNWs: Excessive focus on shipping. Sexual content. Graphic violence or gore. Explicit or direct analogies to real-world current or historical events.
Fandom specific:
Service economy: So Hell and Heaven theoretically can theoretically hold all these shops/restaurants/cafes/bars/etc for celestials and other souls to patronize. I'd love to see a take on the logistics of running such a place, as well as
Flowers: So let's be real. Flowers gets a pretty raw deal in most of the official material. I'd love to see an expanded take on the Word of Flowers that respects the 'Peace' part of their philosophy and also digs into some of the nuances that would actually make them vital to the maintenance of Heaven or the War in general. What does the Word look like from the inside? What does the average Flowers Servitor see the bigger picture as?
Celestials and social media: Considering there is a whole Demon Prince of the Media and all the official In Nomine material was released prior to the explosion of Social Media, I would love to see a take on how celestials on one or both sides of the War are handling social media. Are there Heaven-specific platforms and apps? Literal Hellsites? Who is the demon of Social Media, if there is one and how is Nybbas keeping them under control, if he even is?
Knowledge: I'd love to hear more about Servitors of Knowledge, what their attunements and rites were before Raphael died, and maybe a bit about Knowledge's organization. How did Raphael organize her servitors? What kinds of assignments were typically given to each Choir? What were their celestial/corporeal/ethereal interests?
Creationer subcultures: So Eli has basically loaned out most of his children to other Archangels. What does a combination of Creation + another Word culture look like. Do Creationers in service to Trade swap tips on artistic uses of Excel spreadsheets? Have they made Rap Battles a thing in the Groves? Is there a strong sense of community between Creationers in service to the same Word, or are they more diffuse? Is there an expected level of enthusiasm Creationers are supposed to display for their temporary home, and what happens if they're not enthusiastic enough (or maybe too enthusiastic) to fit in?

General DNWs: Excessive focus on shipping. Sexual content. Graphic violence or gore. Explicit or direct analogies to real-world current or historical events.
Fandom specific DNW: No mention of FFVII/no theories connecting Spira from FFX to the world of FFVII. I know it's Word of God canon that the two worlds are the same, I don't like it.
Spira is one of my favorite Final Fantasy Worlds, and I'd love to see it go more into depth.
Al Bhed: We see a lot of Al Bhed salvaging old machina and technology, does that have influence on their art and literature? Do they repurpose scrap in to sculpture? Do they do certain kinds of crafts while they're out to sea? I'd also like to see what the typical Al Bhed perspective is on life after Sin. They've been exiled to the edges of society for so long, but after the first game, they're the ones with the skills that are in demand. What struggles are they facing? How are the Yevonite and Al Bhed cultures blending?
Yevonite Ceremonial Rituals: What is a typical Yevonite wedding like? Are there any special birth/coming of age ceremonies that take place? How are followers of Yevon educated in the teachings?
Moonflow City: There was once a city built on the water on the Moonflow. What was life in that city like compared to other places in Spira? Was it a center for entertainment, culture, or sport? How did people typically move about? Were there signs ahead of time that a collapse was about to occur? Was there a temple there, and if so, what was the Aeon inside?
Different incarnations of Sin: So, each time Sin is defeated, the Final Aeon eventually takes its place. In canon, we only observe the current incarnation of Sin. How much of that behavior is inherent to Sin, and how much is specific to Jecht's incarnation? How does the behavior of Sin change in each incarnation, and how do the Crusaders/other groups learn the peculiarities of each one? How long does it take for original person's influence to fade once Yu Yevon takes over?

Fandom specific:
Feel free to use or reject canon 'lore' as you see fit.
If going for the Special World Seeds prompt, the Don't Dig Up seed is a special favorite of mine. A story written from the PoV from a demonic-type player character saddled with all these people moving into Hell and figuring out why would be amazing.
I like the concept of getting into the natural history and geology implied by the Terraria world gen process. Where do the biomes come from? What would the corruption/crimson/hallow be like to actually experience?
I also like the idea of seeing a more inhabited Terraria world. The merchant mentions how dirt blocks sell for a fortune overseas? Is there more world in Terraria beyond what's shown on screen. If so, what's it like, and how does it relate to what we can see? Similarly, the dungeon theoretically used to be a thriving city. What would life be like in such a city when it existed?

Fandom Specific: I will make an exception to my shipping/sexual DNW content for any Mahit Dzmare/Three Seagrass content you may want to include. I'd still prefer it not to be the focus of the story, though.
I'd love to see some alternate interpretation to the arts and culture presented in canon, either from an obscure subculture of Teixcalaan or Lsel. Learning more about Lsel Art and Culture would be amazing. I was very much taken with the glimpses of the pulp-fiction comics provided in the second book.
I'm also very interested in how Lsel and Teixcalaan use various forms of mind-sharing/hive-minds as part of their technology. There are definite overlaps and contrasts in how each society accesses and uses their specific techniques, and I'd love to see this explored more. What makes the Lsel imago different from, say, the Sunlit or the shard pilots, and what does that say about each society?

General Writing Likes: Crunchy worldbuilding and concept driven fics. Focus on art, culture, and daily life. In-universe science and metaphysics to explain out-of-universe concepts. Focus on female characters or a female PoV character, if writing fiction. Unconventional formats, including journal entries, epistolary fics, to-do lists, official reports, fake product reviews, etc. are welcome.
General Art Likes: For this exchange, I'd love to see in universe documentation, like maps, labelled diagrams, scientific illustrations, fliers or advertisements. Etc.
General DNWs: Excessive focus on shipping. Sexual content. Graphic violence or gore. Explicit or direct analogies to real-world current or historical events.
I just finished this series, and I'd just love to see more worldbuilding in general. The bits with Jane (Pepper) and Owl in 'A Close and Common Orbit' were some of my favorite bits in all the books, so if you want to expand on that, or look at AI rights through that lens, I think that'd be a great starting point.

Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
WB: Rules of succession (Narnia – Lewis), Original ruler(s) of Narnia (Narnia - Lewis), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
How are the laws of succession written in a country where some big cat can just come in at any moment and say ”This one should be the king/queen.”? Is there an Aslan clause? If you want to write more of an actual story it would be interesting to hear about someone else raised to the throne by Aslan. Or not raised because of him choosing someone else. Maybe there is a mandatory waiting period before you can be crowned, just in case? Have there ever been non-human rulers? If they couldn’t be called king/queen, what were they officially? If you want to write meta you don’t have to include any characters at all, I just didn’t request ”Any or No Characters” here because I was not as interested in seeing this from a canon character’s point of view.

The disappearance of all members of the royal house at once must have left Narnia in chaos. How did they choose a new ruler? (This could be combined with the previous request, if you like.) How long did they wait for the Pevensies to return before even starting to think about it, much less do anything concrete? I’d be equally interested in a historical account of the main events of political and societal interest at this time, or a more personal narrative, maybe one of the courtiers searching in vain and refusing to give up hope (or sinking into despair).
When there were only a few humans in Narnia they married dryads and wood gods and creatures of that ilk. Were those the only acceptable options? And later on when there were more humans was it still ok to marry non-humans? Did anyone ever fall in love with a centaur, or a faun or even a talking beast (they are very much sapient after all)? And would such a relationship have been accepted or frowned upon or outright banned? Following the Telmarine conquest some dwarfs did marry humans, but was it common at any other time? And did they ever tell those humans the truth?

Realm of the Elderlings - Robin Hobb

Tell me about a craftsperson, or a politician, or an artist. Describe a day at the market, or a festival, or a trade negotiation. Did dragons actually disturb the goings on, or had the people been able to organise everything so that the city ran smoothly, no matter what they got in their heads to do? If you want to go into all the ways skill (and other magics?) were deployed, that would be great. But I’m equally interested in the mundane details of living amongst such wonders. :)
Being chosen by a dragon was a great honor and a privilege. You had to work for it. (Or did you always? Dragons are capricious creatures, one might just suddenly have taken a liking to a random human and you don’t really say no to a dragon…) Were there rituals for officially becoming an elderling? They must have had their own society, inside the general one. How welcoming was it? Did they give tips on managing your dragon, or support while undergoing changes? In the books we never really see the whole process of being shaped by a dragon from the point of view of someone who understands and actively wants what is happening. Did those people still feel frightened at times or was it pure elation? Was it customary for the dragon to consult the human, or did they just do whatever they liked?
Artwise, I’d love to see an elderling city in all its glory. Either from far away or focused on a street, a shop, a person going about their daily tasks. For the other tag, show me the dragon and their elderling bonding, or doing something together, or the changes happening. Or if you think there is some sort of a ceremony for being chosen, that could easily combine both my tags.

Temeraire - Naomi Novik
WB: Scandinavian dragons (Temeraire), WB: The effect of dragons on viking raids (Temeraire), Any or No Characters (Temeraire), Original Character(s) (Temeraire), Fanart, Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
I just suddenly got this craving for viking dragons. I mean, they are a big part of Norse lore and aesthetics, with the dragon ships and carvings on runestones and so on. They should exist, if all the other dragons are real. Lindorms are mentioned in the books, but nothing is really known about them so you are pretty much free to imagine them however you like. Or other breeds of northern dragons.
Since the British Isles and their culture are pretty similar to how it was in the real world at the time, the Norse influence on the language, customs and everything must have been there. So they did raid, or at least trade and settle down in some way. Maybe they ”tamed” dragons before the British did and that was a factor in their success?
Write me an account of the history of these raids, or part of a saga featuring dragons. Or a story of someone ”captaining” a scandinavian dragon. Maybe dragons actually didn’t fight in Scandinavia and stayed home to help with farming? They might have been very useful as transport in the Norwegian fjords, for example.
When it comes to art, a naturalist's illustration of nordic breed(s) would be great. Or a battle scene, warriors riding a dragon to battle. Maybe an artist carving the image of a dragon while looking at the real thing?

I love epistolary fic, academic pastiche, social media pastiche, outsider POV, slice-of-life fic, primary source documents, academic debates, monks, mysticism, humor, and hopeful endings. Most of all, I'm excited to see what you're excited about!
DNW: Explicit sex scenes, anything sexual involving children, onscreen rape/noncon/sexual assault, BDSM, non-canonical pregnancy or parenthood fic, and infidelity.
Centerpoint Station absolutely fascinates me. What is it like to live in the hollow interior of a space station the size of a planet? Who were the first people to live in Centerpoint, and why did they choose to settle there?
I've been low-key obsessed with holocrons recently – the Legends version of holocrons, that have one or more personalities within them. How sentient really are holocrons? What role do they play in Jedi society – both in the Old Republic and in the rebuilt Jedi Order? What is it like to interact with the holographic echo of someone you knew in life?
I'm generally very interested in Jedi culture and Jedi philosophy, in whatever direction you'd like to explore it! I'm fascinated by the historical development of the Jedi Code and by Jedi mysticism generally. I'd also love to see more about how the Jedi Order operates in day-to-day life as a multispecies society – what does the cafeteria look like? Are there Jedi holidays? We mostly see the Jedi as warriors, but what do their other roles in galactic society look like – as diplomats, scholars, or anything else?

As far as both the archaeology and manuscript transmission requests go, what's behind them is really a fascination with (a) what survives the sinking of Beleriand, (b) how it survives, and (c) how the surviving material is interpreted and reinterpreted by future scholars (and laypeople!) to recreate the history of Beleriand. What are the gaps that still need to be filled in? Where is the guesswork right – and where is it wrong? Why were these things preserved and not others – was it chance? If it was deliberate, who decided what was to be preserved, and how did they make that decision? Are there questions of authenticity and suspected forgeries?
I'm also very interested in manuscript production in Beleriand. Where and by whom were manuscripts produced? What scripts were used, and how could the uses of particular scripts or different dating systems indicate political affiliation? How did Mannish, Elven, and Dwarven writing practices differ?

Fandom specific:
Service economy: So Hell and Heaven theoretically can theoretically hold all these shops/restaurants/cafes/bars/etc for celestials and other souls to patronize. I'd love to see a take on the logistics of running such a place, as well as
Flowers: So let's be real. Flowers gets a pretty raw deal in most of the official material. I'd love to see an expanded take on the Word of Flowers that respects the 'Peace' part of their philosophy and also digs into some of the nuances that would actually make them vital to the maintenance of Heaven or the War in general. What does the Word look like from the inside? What does the average Flowers Servitor see the bigger picture as?
Celestials and social media: Considering there is a whole Demon Prince of the Media and all the official In Nomine material was released prior to the explosion of Social Media, I would love to see a take on how celestials on one or both sides of the War are handling social media. Are there Heaven-specific platforms and apps? Literal Hellsites? Who is the demon of Social Media, if there is one and how is Nybbas keeping them under control, if he even is?
Knowledge: I'd love to hear more about Servitors of Knowledge, what their attunements and rites were before Raphael died, and maybe a bit about Knowledge's organization. How did Raphael organize her servitors? What kinds of assignments were typically given to each Choir? What were their celestial/corporeal/ethereal interests?
Creationer subcultures: So Eli has basically loaned out most of his children to other Archangels. What does a combination of Creation + another Word culture look like. Do Creationers in service to Trade swap tips on artistic uses of Excel spreadsheets? Have they made Rap Battles a thing in the Groves? Is there a strong sense of community between Creationers in service to the same Word, or are they more diffuse? Is there an expected level of enthusiasm Creationers are supposed to display for their temporary home, and what happens if they're not enthusiastic enough (or maybe too enthusiastic) to fit in?

Fandom specific DNW: No mention of FFVII/no theories connecting Spira from FFX to the world of FFVII. I know it's Word of God canon that the two worlds are the same, I don't like it.
Spira is one of my favorite Final Fantasy Worlds, and I'd love to see it go more into depth.
Al Bhed: We see a lot of Al Bhed salvaging old machina and technology, does that have influence on their art and literature? Do they repurpose scrap in to sculpture? Do they do certain kinds of crafts while they're out to sea? I'd also like to see what the typical Al Bhed perspective is on life after Sin. They've been exiled to the edges of society for so long, but after the first game, they're the ones with the skills that are in demand. What struggles are they facing? How are the Yevonite and Al Bhed cultures blending?
Yevonite Ceremonial Rituals: What is a typical Yevonite wedding like? Are there any special birth/coming of age ceremonies that take place? How are followers of Yevon educated in the teachings?
Moonflow City: There was once a city built on the water on the Moonflow. What was life in that city like compared to other places in Spira? Was it a center for entertainment, culture, or sport? How did people typically move about? Were there signs ahead of time that a collapse was about to occur? Was there a temple there, and if so, what was the Aeon inside?
Different incarnations of Sin: So, each time Sin is defeated, the Final Aeon eventually takes its place. In canon, we only observe the current incarnation of Sin. How much of that behavior is inherent to Sin, and how much is specific to Jecht's incarnation? How does the behavior of Sin change in each incarnation, and how do the Crusaders/other groups learn the peculiarities of each one? How long does it take for original person's influence to fade once Yu Yevon takes over?

Fandom specific:
Feel free to use or reject canon 'lore' as you see fit.
If going for the Special World Seeds prompt, the Don't Dig Up seed is a special favorite of mine. A story written from the PoV from a demonic-type player character saddled with all these people moving into Hell and figuring out why would be amazing.
I like the concept of getting into the natural history and geology implied by the Terraria world gen process. Where do the biomes come from? What would the corruption/crimson/hallow be like to actually experience?
I also like the idea of seeing a more inhabited Terraria world. The merchant mentions how dirt blocks sell for a fortune overseas? Is there more world in Terraria beyond what's shown on screen. If so, what's it like, and how does it relate to what we can see? Similarly, the dungeon theoretically used to be a thriving city. What would life be like in such a city when it existed?

Fandom Specific: I will make an exception to my shipping/sexual DNW content for any Mahit Dzmare/Three Seagrass content you may want to include. I'd still prefer it not to be the focus of the story, though.
I'd love to see some alternate interpretation to the arts and culture presented in canon, either from an obscure subculture of Teixcalaan or Lsel. Learning more about Lsel Art and Culture would be amazing. I was very much taken with the glimpses of the pulp-fiction comics provided in the second book.
I'm also very interested in how Lsel and Teixcalaan use various forms of mind-sharing/hive-minds as part of their technology. There are definite overlaps and contrasts in how each society accesses and uses their specific techniques, and I'd love to see this explored more. What makes the Lsel imago different from, say, the Sunlit or the shard pilots, and what does that say about each society?

Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis
WB: Rules of succession (Narnia – Lewis), Original ruler(s) of Narnia (Narnia - Lewis), Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
How are the laws of succession written in a country where some big cat can just come in at any moment and say ”This one should be the king/queen.”? Is there an Aslan clause? If you want to write more of an actual story it would be interesting to hear about someone else raised to the throne by Aslan. Or not raised because of him choosing someone else. Maybe there is a mandatory waiting period before you can be crowned, just in case? Have there ever been non-human rulers? If they couldn’t be called king/queen, what were they officially? If you want to write meta you don’t have to include any characters at all, I just didn’t request ”Any or No Characters” here because I was not as interested in seeing this from a canon character’s point of view.

The disappearance of all members of the royal house at once must have left Narnia in chaos. How did they choose a new ruler? (This could be combined with the previous request, if you like.) How long did they wait for the Pevensies to return before even starting to think about it, much less do anything concrete? I’d be equally interested in a historical account of the main events of political and societal interest at this time, or a more personal narrative, maybe one of the courtiers searching in vain and refusing to give up hope (or sinking into despair).
When there were only a few humans in Narnia they married dryads and wood gods and creatures of that ilk. Were those the only acceptable options? And later on when there were more humans was it still ok to marry non-humans? Did anyone ever fall in love with a centaur, or a faun or even a talking beast (they are very much sapient after all)? And would such a relationship have been accepted or frowned upon or outright banned? Following the Telmarine conquest some dwarfs did marry humans, but was it common at any other time? And did they ever tell those humans the truth?

Tell me about a craftsperson, or a politician, or an artist. Describe a day at the market, or a festival, or a trade negotiation. Did dragons actually disturb the goings on, or had the people been able to organise everything so that the city ran smoothly, no matter what they got in their heads to do? If you want to go into all the ways skill (and other magics?) were deployed, that would be great. But I’m equally interested in the mundane details of living amongst such wonders. :)
Being chosen by a dragon was a great honor and a privilege. You had to work for it. (Or did you always? Dragons are capricious creatures, one might just suddenly have taken a liking to a random human and you don’t really say no to a dragon…) Were there rituals for officially becoming an elderling? They must have had their own society, inside the general one. How welcoming was it? Did they give tips on managing your dragon, or support while undergoing changes? In the books we never really see the whole process of being shaped by a dragon from the point of view of someone who understands and actively wants what is happening. Did those people still feel frightened at times or was it pure elation? Was it customary for the dragon to consult the human, or did they just do whatever they liked?
Artwise, I’d love to see an elderling city in all its glory. Either from far away or focused on a street, a shop, a person going about their daily tasks. For the other tag, show me the dragon and their elderling bonding, or doing something together, or the changes happening. Or if you think there is some sort of a ceremony for being chosen, that could easily combine both my tags.

Temeraire - Naomi Novik
WB: Scandinavian dragons (Temeraire), WB: The effect of dragons on viking raids (Temeraire), Any or No Characters (Temeraire), Original Character(s) (Temeraire), Fanart, Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
I just suddenly got this craving for viking dragons. I mean, they are a big part of Norse lore and aesthetics, with the dragon ships and carvings on runestones and so on. They should exist, if all the other dragons are real. Lindorms are mentioned in the books, but nothing is really known about them so you are pretty much free to imagine them however you like. Or other breeds of northern dragons.
Since the British Isles and their culture are pretty similar to how it was in the real world at the time, the Norse influence on the language, customs and everything must have been there. So they did raid, or at least trade and settle down in some way. Maybe they ”tamed” dragons before the British did and that was a factor in their success?
Write me an account of the history of these raids, or part of a saga featuring dragons. Or a story of someone ”captaining” a scandinavian dragon. Maybe dragons actually didn’t fight in Scandinavia and stayed home to help with farming? They might have been very useful as transport in the Norwegian fjords, for example.
When it comes to art, a naturalist's illustration of nordic breed(s) would be great. Or a battle scene, warriors riding a dragon to battle. Maybe an artist carving the image of a dragon while looking at the real thing?
