Dear Trick or Treat Writer
Hi, thanks for writing for me! I hope this letter is useful. A lot of my requests are recycled from previous exchanges, but I still really want everything I'm asking for. I've listed pairings for each fandom in case you want to write shippy fic, but I also really like gen.
Likes (Treats): Hurt/comfort, sickfic, fluff, humour, friendship, family relationships, romance, first time, established relationship, character studies, episode tags, canon divergent AUs and fix-it fic, gay/bi characters, coming out stories, holiday fic, animal transformation, bed sharing, huddling for warmth, telepathy/empathy, cultural differences, time travel
Likes (Tricks): Zombies, weird aliens, dead all along, hallucinations, ghosts, plagues, dystopias, AUs, twist endings, on the run from the government, reality is a lie
Dislikes/DNWs: Non con, gore, character bashing, infidelity, poly/open relationships, asexual/aromantic/nonbinary headcanons, sexism/homophobia, death of requested characters, breakup of requested pairings, pairings that conflict with those requested, first and second POV, explicit sex
I'm asking for both Tricks and Treats for all fandoms except Discovery, which is just Treats.
Fandoms:
Black Mirror (Nanette)
I love Black Mirror, and the "USS Callister" episode is one of my favourites. I'd love anything about the adventures of Captain Nanette and her crew, and what they get up to after the end of the episode as they explore the Infinity universe. What kind of planets/creatures/ships might they encounter? Do they interact with more player characters, and if so how does that go?
I love Star Trek, especially TOS, so if you want to take any inspiration from there, feel free! Also, I like to assume going through the wormhole fixed Walton the way it did everyone else, so please don't have him burning alive forever. D:
Pairings I like: Shania/Nanette
Stargate SG-1 (Sam)
I love Sam, she's my favourite Stargate character. I love her passion for science, and how she's both really smart and totally able to kick ass when necessary. For treats, I'd love to see her interacting with the rest of SG-1, or hanging out with Janet and/or Cassandra, or bonding with her father. For tricks, maybe something goes wrong with the Stargate, or they visit a planet they shouldn't?
Pairings I like: Sam/Janet
Star Trek AOS (Winona)
I'd love something focusing on her relationship with Jim (and Sam?). Maybe her visiting him on the ship, or him coming home for a visit, or introducing her to his friends? I'd also be interested in a Winona/OFC fic with her finally moving on after George.
Pairings I like: Winona/OFC
Fandom specific DNWs: References to STID (Beyond is fine), Winona being a bad mother or having a bad relationship with Jim.
Star Trek Discovery (Pike)
I really like Pike, so pretty much anything about him would make me happy. Backstory about his childhood or career or time at the academy, exploration of his relationships with the Discovery or Enterprise crews, or maybe something where he gets to show off his piloting skills? I'd also love anything about him and Ash meeting up and/or working together post-Season 2.
Pairings I like: Pike/Ash in canon era, Pike/Leland or Pike/OMC in backstory (as long as the OMC isn't someone under his command)
Fandom specific DNWs: References to Pike's fate in TOS or his knowledge of same (unless you're writing a fix-it fic)
Star Trek TOS (Kirk, Spock, Saavik, Gillian Taylor, Peter Kirk, M'Benga)
Kirk: I'd love anything about his friendship (or more) with Spock, or his backstory (especially anything about Tarsus), or anything dealing with the aftermath of one or more canon episodes/movies. Or his interactions with other characters like McCoy or Scotty or Uhura.
Spock: As with Kirk, I'd like to see his friendships with other characters, or backstory, or the aftermath of canon episodes/movies.
Saavik: I'd really like to see something exploring her mentor/student relationship with Spock, or why she joined Starfleet and why she chose command instead of science or anything else. Or anything about her backstory, or what she did after we last saw her in The Voyage Home, or how she and David became so close between Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock.
Gillian: My favourite one-off character. I love how at first she's clearly just humouring Kirk about his whole 'save the whales with time-travel' plan, but then she finds out everything he's told her is true and just totally rolls with it. I especially love the idea of gay-or-bi Gillian reacting to a homophobia-free future, but anything about her adjusting to the 23rd century would be awesome. Especially if she ends up keeping in touch with Kirk (and Spock).
Peter: Surviving the loss of your whole family has got to be tough. I'd like to see him when he's older, entering Starfleet and trying to get out from under the shadow of his famous uncle, or bonding with Spock over what they went through. New Voyages has him as gay, so I'd also be interested in anything dealing with that, e.g. introducing Kirk to his boyfriend or asking Kirk/Spock for advice.
M'Benga: I find M'Benga really interesting. He's a minor character, but the few things we know about him raise all kinds of questions. Why did he intern on Vulcan? Could he have some kind of telepathic abilities? How did he end up working on the Enterprise? (I kind of like the idea of McCoy just throwing up his hands after "Journey to Babel" and deciding they really need a Vulcan expert around these parts.) I'd also really like to see him treating Spock for various illnesses/injuries, making use of his unique skills.
Pairings I like: Kirk/Spock, Saavik/David Marcus, Saavik/OFC, Gillian/OFC, Peter/OMC, M'Benga/OMC
Fandom specific DNWs: Vulcans having a lower body temperature than humans.
Thanks again!
