Dear Spacer
Hello fellow spacer! Thank you for signing up and THANK YOU for making something for me. I'm so excited that we've matched on one of these fandoms. I like ALL THE THINGS, so I have stuff in here for fic/podfic, for vids, for art - it's likely that you offered up one and I'm sorry for the extraneous stuff. Please feel free to mix and match anything, use an art prompt for a fic, etc. - my goal is for you to have fun creating whatever it is you create! If you like it, I'm sure to love it.
General prompts and preferences:
For fic/podfic, I generally love happy, feel-good things. I like AUs, character pieces, getting-together fics, five things, crossovers, movie night, chance encounters, competence and/or book smarts, pretend-couple, slice of life, found family/teamy fic, friends to lovers, stuck in a snow storm, road trips, explosions, space battles, car chases, triumphing over evil, and general shenanigans. For podfic, I've always enjoyed straightforward narrations without a lot of audio effects or voicing of characters - but am willing to be converted if you're interested in trying something new.
For vids, I tend to like action vids, recruitment vids, character vids and the occasional shippy vid. I often adore vids to songs and/or genres I'm unfamiliar with and I'm VERY open to any style you're looking to vid. I list some songs below, but don't feel constrained by them.
For art, I like minimalistic styles. I also like technical-looking motifs (like schematics as a background). I like blues and greens and purples, I don't dislike any colors.
Songs that I find potential in for nearly any fandom/character(s) in my request. Use 'as is' or use as inspiration or disregard entirely - whatever works!
Hold On by Alabama Shakes
Never Give Up by Sia
Wait a Minute by Melissa Etheridge
Heroes (We Could Be) by Alesso ft. Tove Lo
Beautiful War by Kings of Leon
Guiding Light by Mumford & Sons
And lastly, if you already have an idea for one of the fandoms/characters/pairings we've matched on, please feel free to disregard my prompts above and random notes below and go with your idea. I'd be thrilled to see what you come up with! While I didn't list any hard DNW on AO3, I'm not horribly interested in dark themes, power imbalances (ie. non-con, a/b/o, etc.) or overly explicit material.
Rogue One
Character: Jyn Erso
Relationship: Cassian Andor/Jyn Erso
Relationship: Chirrut Imwe/Baze Malbus
Relationship: Jyn Erso/Bodhi Rook/Cassian Andor
+ Everyone lives scenarios are always a good way to go. Navigating life after the destruction of the Death Star or, for Chirrut and Baze, how life was before the Empire came.
+ Any song that serves as a rallying cry.
+ Slice of life art or moments of rest after the battle.
Star Wars Original Trilogy
Relationship: Leia Organa/Han Solo
+ Missing scene of life aboard the Falcon. Post-series where they're trying to figure out how to be a couple. Official political functions don't seem to be Han's cup of tea.
+ A song lamenting how love is often so difficult.
+ Han dressed formally for some political function or Leia dressed as a smuggler.
Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Character: Amilyn Holdo
Character: Rose Tico
Character: Rey
Relationship: Amilyn Holdo/Leia Organa
Relationship: BB-8 & C-3PO & R2-D2
Relationship: Finn/Poe Dameron/Rey
+ I love all the relationship potential in the new sequels! From old friends like Amilyn and Leia to just-met ones like Poe and Rey. Since we're not entirely sure where the last movie is taking us, anything that settles in between films works well for me. A missing scene or slice of life would be great.
+ The list is so female laden that something like "Fight Like a Girl" or a song about hope.
+ A mess hall sort of scene, or lingering in a hallway - something that shows the excitement over the future outweighing the burdens of battle.
Star Wars Rebels
Character: Ahsoka Tano (Rebels)
Character: CT-7567 | Rex
Character: Hera Syndulla
Relationship: CT-7567 | Rex/Ahsoka Tano
Relationship: Hera Syndulla & C1-10P | Chopper
Relationship: Kanan Jarrus/Hera Syndulla
+ I love the found family vibe of this show so much! Ahsoka and Rex have known each other forever, how have they changed and what about them has stayed the same? Hera and Chopper as the original members of the crew, what sort of jobs did they take before they started rebelling?
+ Any songs that inspire teamwork and friendship.
+ Strolling through the marketplace on Lothal, or just hanging out on the Ghost
Andromeda
Relationship: Seamus Zelazney Harper & Beka Valentine
Relationship: Telemachus Rhade/Beka Valentine
+ I've always liked the idea that one day Beka Valentine would leave Dylan's crew and strike out on her own. With Harper as her sidekick or dragging Rhade along, either would be an entertaining read.
+ Classic rock or techno music always struck me as fitting for this show.
+ Something that evokes the images of slipstream.
The Expanse
Character: Anna Volovodov
Character: Bobbie Draper
Character: Naomi Nagata
Relationship: James Holden & Amos Burton & Naomi Nagata & Alex Kamal
+ Missing scenes from the POV of one of the ladies listed above. Downtime on the Roci, maybe with more of Alex's lasagna or someone else having mad skills in the kitchen. With all the intense stuff happening all around them every day, I crave silly moments of joy for everyone in this show. Naomi gets a pen pal, Bobbie adopts a pet, or maybe Anna adopts the entire crew.
+ Artists like Florence + the Machine or Sia
+ Everything in space is so industrial and stark looking. How would a person brighten things up? Clothing seems industrial, but hair coloring and tattoos seem common - would they paint their quarters?
Star Trek (AOS)
Character: Nyota Uhura
Character: Jaylah (AOS)
Relationship: James T. Kirk/Leonard McCoy
Relationship: James T. Kirk & Leonard "Bones" McCoy
+ I loved all the Academy fics when the first AOS movie came out - what will Jaylah's Academy experience be like? What would Kirk and Bones do in retirement, assuming they'd ever agree to retire?
+ Anything upbeat that plays up the epic nature of the movies.
+ Bold colors, anyone riding or standing astride a motorcycle (because it's a thing!)
Star Trek: Enterprise
Character: Hoshi Sato
Relationship: Charles "Trip" Tucker III/T'Pol
+ Hoshi leaves Star Fleet to pursue diplomatic career. Trip survives the events of the series finale and he and T'Pol navigate a relationship while keeping their day jobs. Time travel with these characters would also be fun.
+ Songs about not wanting to fall in love, but falling anyway.
+ Hoshi in a garden. I liked the minimalistic white space/mental space that Trip and T'Pol found through their bond, they also seemed at home in the harsh Vulcan landscape.
