General Stuff
I love all these canons, and I'd really prefer you write a story you are interested in, rather than worrying too much about following prompts - so if you have an idea for the fandom/characters - go for it!
For these fandoms, I'm not keen on crossovers and AUs that change the setting.
I love stories that feature competent characters using their skills etc well, as well as stories that throw the characters into unfamiliar situations and they have to learn how to deal. I really like stories that expand on hints in canon or show other aspects of characters. I'm fascinated with AUs that change one thing/decision in canon and see what changes from that.
For all of my requests I love the worldbuilding of the series and would love a story that sheds new light on the world or adds detail.
DNWs: Horror, cannibalism, anything too dark (eg rocks fall, everyone dies; story focusing on torture) - it doesn't have to be fluff or anything, just not all dark.
The Goblin Emperor - Katherine Addison
Idra Drazhar, Maia Drazhar, Nemolis Drazhar
For this request, I don't mind if the story is about two of the three characters especially as having them all would probably need the story to be AU.
I'm fascinated by the views of Nemolis we see in the book through Idra's eyes, and think it would be very interesting to see him interacting with Maia and/or Idra.
Some prompts if you want them:
AU - Ways Maia and Nemolis could have met? Varenechibel IV died earlier and Nemolis inherited? Nemolis wasn't on the airship? Writing letters in secret?
Idra and Nemolis's discussion of politics, family and their future.
Idra growing up and finding a place for himself.
AU - Idra is older (of age) when everyone dies - how would he have handled it? Could it work with him and Maia as more equal allies, and what would the impacts of this have been?
I'd like a story in the canon setting - AUs that see if events in canon change are great, but please no AUs that totally change the setting.
I love this book for the ways in which most of the characters seem to be good people trying to do the right thing to the extent of their abilities.
Exordium - Sherwood Smith & Dave Trowbridge
Brandon nyr-Arkad, Markham vlith-L’Ranja
Markham intrigues me as a character as he is so influential on the story without appearing in person, although we see so many views of him and his relationship with Brandon through the eyes of many other characters.
Some prompts if you would like:
AU where Markham and Brandon meet again - either with Brandon running away earlier or Markham still being alive. How would it be for them to meet again? Would it be as smooth as they seemed to expect to pick everything up? How would Brandon integrate into the Rifer crew (especially when they might resent that they've been there longer and suddenly pushed further out)
Brandon and Markham's first meeting
Adventures and pranks at the academy
I'd like a story in the canon setting - AUs that see if events in canon change are great, but please no AUs that totally change the setting.
I really enjoyed this series with all the twists along the way, and on rereading I love finding more details and bits I missed and how they fit into everything. I love it for the complicated society and the way that even when people are on the same side they are not necessarily allies or prepared to work together.
The Deed of Paksenarrion - Elizabeth Moon
Gwenno Marrakai, Juris Marrakai
I love these books - and have been enjoying reading the new series as they came out. The Marrakai family in general are some of my favourite characters - I love their loyalty and care for each other - and their mischief - their gift with horses.
I love the way we see these two growing up over the books. Really any story about either or both of these characters would be wonderful. (To be clear, I am totally fine with a story about only one of my selected characters)
Some prompts if you want them:
Does Gwenno end up in knights training, and does it live up to her expectations?
What were they like growing up (mischief, alliance against the others, or rivals)?
Juris seem to be very responsible (as does Gwenno) and their interactions with younger children shows their care and protectiveness. It would be really interesting to see them interacting - either as children, or older, for example, Gwenno returning from Dorrin's service - do the two of them talk about their experiences? Is it hard for them to realise understand the ways in which the other has changed?
I'd like a story in the canon setting - AUs that see if events in canon change are great, but please no AUs that totally change the setting.
From when I first read the original trilogy I loved Aris and Juris Marrakai, and then Gwenno in the new ones. I really like the glimpses we see of life in the Marrakai family, both the way they all care about each other and the mischief.
Inda series - Sherwood Smith
Tdor Marth-Davan
Tdor is such a lovely character - so practical and with so much sense. I'd love a story that shows more of her life.
Some prompts if you want them:
A home visit as a child or first coming to live with her new family
More of her friendships and adventures during the Queen's Training
Something about her adventures after Inda died (I read about this on Sherwood Smith's website (http://www.sherwoodsmith.net/sartorias-deles/inda-banner/what-happened-after-treasons-shore/), where there is a lot of fascinating information about what happened next for so many people!)
I'd like a story in the canon setting - AUs that see if events in canon change are great, but please no AUs that totally change the setting.
Marlovan culture and interactions with the world here and so interesting, and Tdor is a wonderful character - I love competent female characters - and I'd really like to see more of her life.
