PH #1: Request 1 by erikako_the_hutt
The Expanse Series - James S. A. Corey
Relationship: Jim Holden/The Investigator (The Expanse Series - James S. A. Corey), Fanfiction

Cibola Burn is my favorite of the Expanse novels, and Holden’s interactions with The Investigator are my favorite part of Cibola Burn. It’s just so fascinating and wonderfully weird—I just want more head trips for Holden and fun interactions with the alien construct that is not quite Joe Miller, with creative xeno porn much appreciated!

DNW: mundane/depowered Investigator, changes to characters' species, setting-change AUs, torture, gore

The Expanse (TV)
Relationship: Jim Holden/Joe Miller (The Expanse TV), Fanfiction

I love their hard-boiled detective/idealistic young man dynamic in the TV show so much! Also, they have such great chemistry when they are are forced to work together in spite of their differences. You can combine this prompt with the Holden/Investigator one above: Just how much of the protomolecule-fueled Investigator is actually Miller is pretty ambiguous in the show, and I like those blurred boundaries.

Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi (TV)
Relationship: Clone Trooper Veteran on Daiyu/Haja Estree (Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi TV), Fanfiction

I would really like something canon-compliant/pre-canon on Daiyu. Two down-and-out men finding comfort in one another in a one-night-stand, perhaps? Or maybe one of them helps out the other and it leads to feelings? What would would a 501st trooper think about a fake Jedi conman? The likely difference in personality also intrigues me.

DNW: AUs, torture, gore




PH #8: Request 1 by cupidsbow
Doctor Who (2005)
Character: Thirteenth Doctor (DW2005), Character: K9 (DW2005), Character: The Doctor's TARDIS (DW 2005), Character: Jack Harkness (Doctor Who), Worldbuilding: Sonic Screwdriver (DW2005), Worldbuilding: Academic scholarship on the Doctor (DW 2005), Worldbuilding: TARDISes (DW 2005), Relationship: The Thirteenth Doctor & The Master (DW 2005), Worldbuilding: Regeneration (DW2005), Fanart, Fanfiction, Fanvid, Interactive Fiction, Podfic

Thirteen is my fave doctor, but I've watched on and off since Tom Baker and like them all, and all the companions too, so if you want to weave in parts of that larger canvas, go ahead. It might be cool to explore some of the relationships a quasi-immortal being has with the people and things that are constants - the Master, Jack, the TARDIS, K9, the tech they make like the screwdriver. Maybe constancy is better than happiness in that situation? I love things like the TARDIS having infinite rooms, and the sonic having weird rules about what it can and cannot work on. Go wild and make up stuff to explain how that all works if that's your thing. K9 is a good dog and I'd love something with Thirteen finding him again. Jack is just a fave, and more of him having one of his bizarre adventures would be cool. If you go the academic route, it would be hilarious to see all the wrong-headed or partially right things academics conclude from the fragments of the Doctor's life they have access to.

Podficcers: I haven't written fics about the Doctors, but I have fics with Jack, so you're welcome to do them if you want.

DNW: Non-con, kink. I'd just rather the Doctor not have sex at all please, unless it's something like blowing her nose and it's aliens who think that's sex. Jack is Jack, so sex is fine as long as it isn't the whole point of the fic. You can sparingly include themes like sexism, racism and other isms if they are essential to the story and treated thoughtfully, but not otherwise please.

Venom (Marvel Movies)
Relationship: Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote (Venom), Relationship: Eddie Brock & Venom (Venom), Worldbuilding: Symbiote invasion of Earth or an Earth colony (Venom), Character: Venom Symbiote (Venom), Worldbuilding: Symbiote biology (Venom), Worldbuilding: Symbiote culture (Venom), Fanart, Fanfiction, Fanvid, Interactive Fiction, Podfic

This is the fandom of my heart. I love Eddie and Venom most of all, but symbiote biology/culture also fascinates me. I'm really interested in how relationships between symbiotes and humans might be different to relationships between symbiotes and other kinds of hosts. What about if an invasion did happen? Would the symbiotes really come off the victors, or would humans prove sneakier and more stubborn than expected? Are infected planets nuked from orbit once the galactic community finds out? Or if that kind of worldbuilding doesn't interest you, a more intimate look into how Eddie and Venom rub along would also be awesome. I like them best when they like each other, even if they are snarky or fighting. What's it like when they follow a story together? Or do laundry, or go to the park, or bump into one of Eddie's friends? What is their domestic routine? As long as the affection is clear between them, I will like your answer.

If you're podficcing go ahead and do any of my Venom stories if you want to.

DNW: Non-con. I'm not really feeling kink stories at the moment, but can any story with a sentient goo as one of the pairing really be kink-free? So instead I'll say that I don't want a story where sex is the focus, but if you include sex it can be as kinky as you like as long as it's part of the plot and not just for the sake of it. You can sparingly include themes like sexism, racism and other isms if they are essential to the story and treated thoughtfully, but not otherwise please.

Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
Relationship: James T. Kirk & Spock (ST:AOS), Worldbuilding: Replicators and transporters (ST:AOS), Worldbuilding: Pon farr (ST:AOS), Worldbuilding: Kobayashi Maru (ST:AOS), Worldbuilding: Tarsus IV (ST: AOS), Relationship: James T. Kirk/Spock (ST: AOS), Worldbuilding: Timetravel and paradoxes (ST:AOS), Character: James T. Kirk (ST: AOS), Fanart, Fanfiction, Fanvid, Interactive Fiction, Podfic

I am fascinated by Tarsus IV and the impact that has on Kirk. Anything you do on that I'll love, including how it affects things like the way Kirk approaches Koayashi Maru or the way he captains. Is he especially interested in replicator/transporter tech because of it's function in provisioning? I'm down for a story about any of the worldbuilding tags with or without a Tarsus flavour - if you have a good idea, I'm sure I'll love it. Timetravel and paradoxes are so darn cool - and there's so much scope in AOS given it's basically canon. That kind of speculative storytelling is my jam. Finally, pon farr. Yes, it's a fandom staple and done to death, but there's still ground to explore -- what if in AOS Spock doesn't go into pon farr at all? Does that make him "less Vulcan" in the eyes of the survivors and more of an outcast? Or what if he does, but is ace and so just wants someone who will fight him so he doesn't have to have sex? Or what if it's not angst-filled, but something he's been looking forward to, and an absolute relief as he can safely put away his need for total control for a while? Maybe he and Jim don't have a sexual relationship, except once every seven years, and then they are fuckbuddies. If you can think of an interesting spin on pon farr - with or without sex - I'm here for it, as long as any sex is part of the plot.

I've only written one story in this fandom, but if you're podficcing you're welcome to do it or part of it.

DNW: Non-con, kink. You can sparingly include themes like sexism, racism and other isms if they are essential to the story and treated thoughtfully, but not otherwise please.
