PH4: Request 1 by Vyslante
The Lost Fleet - Jack Campbell
Worldbuilding: The hardships of a century of warfare (The Lost Fleet), Worldbuilding: The beginning of the war (The Lost Fleet), Worldbuilding: Space battles (The Lost Fleet), Worldbuilding: Getting used to peace (The Lost Fleet), Fanart, Fanfiction, Fanvids

Hello, and thank you for creating!

There's a lot to like about this series, from the fact that it's a rare example of military science-fiction that's not right-authoritarian, to combat being more about positioning and movement than weaponry, to the fish-out-of-water nature of the protagonist having to grapple with a society (and military customs) that have widely diverged in a century ; but if I'm being honest, by requesting it I'm mostly hoping for a space battle of some sort.

Though whether you want to write action or worldbuilding, I find it's a fandom that lends itself well to "elsewhere/meanwhile" fics — that is to say, stories about other parts of the setting and other people than what canon covers.

I have read everything, the main series, the sequels, prequels, sidequels (and I think the best ones are the Lost Stars series, if only because it stop focusing on one single POV, and has a little more politicking).

 


DNW


- Permanent death of a requested character (unless it's characters talking about a canon event. Temporary death (whether it's magic, science, or just miscommunication) is okay as a plot point)
- Issuefic (preachiness; stories whose main point is some kind of political/social issue, current politics)
- Major, radical AUs (think high-school or coffeshop AUs, things that change the world where the story takes place)
- Unhappy endings (bittersweet ones are okay, but not bad ones)
- Omegaverse and Mpreg
- Infidelity
- Genderswap (unless specifically requested in the prompt)
- Focused descriptions of major injuries, body horror
- Monarchism apologia (I admit, that's not often a relevant thing to specify)
- If a couple does not have kids in canon, I do not like inventing some.
- I put it last because it's not as much a firm DNW as something I generally dislike, but misunderstandings

Sins of a Solar Empire (Video Game)
Worldbuilding: What is chasing the Vasari (SoaSE), Worldbuilding: The creation of the TEC (SoaSE), Worldbuilding: The Advent's Exile (SoaSE), Fanart, Fanfiction

Hello, and thank you for creating!

I've always been a fan of space-based RTS (or, well, in this case, "4X but with focus on one of the X"), but SoaSE has always had this weird place in my heart for its lore. It's full of fascinating parts, and yet so utterly vague (since most of what we have are a few extremely well done intros) that you can do pretty much anything with it. We have outlines of the factions and of their backstories, and that leaves a lot of space to be filled. The frantic beginning of the war and the Traders having to desperately defend themselves; the creation of the TEC; whatever the Advents were doing during their centuries of exile; the Vasari's exile fleet... lots and lots and things that could be the topic of a worldbuilding-heavy piece.

Or, for more action— well, this is a war game after all. You can't go wrong with writing about conflict (whether it's a single action or an entire campaign). As I mentioned earlier, I have quite the fondness for space battles. I've even written some.

Mass Effect - All Media Types
Worldbuilding: Daily Life in the Citadel (ME), Fanart, Fanfiction, Fanvids

Hello, and thank you for creating!

There's not much to be said here; I'm just a fan of "daily life" stuff, of canon events seen through the eyes of background characters, of events happening to other people while the heroes are doing their hero-ing. As a fandom-specific taste, though, I'd prefer not focusing too much on the humans. There's so many possibilities with aliens and interactions between species!
