Dear May the 4th Writer
Dear May the 4th writer,
Thank you so much for writing for me!
If you'd like to stalk me during the exchange, I mainly hang around tumblr besides here. On my AO3 you can see the fics I've bookmarked if that helps give you ideas or in figuring out the things I like, or you can check out my fic rec masterlist (still in progress) that may be easier to maneuver. And always feel free to ask if you have questions or want me to expand on anything!
All of this is totally optional, but I know a lot of the time it helps to have some direction to go in, so I've included some likes, dislikes, prompts, and squee for your inspiration. Include whatever you like or none if nothing I mention suits your fancy! Go wild! I'm up to date, so no need to worry about spoilers.
Likes and Dislikes
Tbh, I'm really easy. I will read pretty much anything and my likes run the gamut from "totally normal" to "rare and kind of bizarre" to "probably squicks a lot of people." So whatever you can come up with, chances are good that I'll like it! If it's something not listed under dislikes, then feel free to give it a try if you like, even if it's not one of my specific likes. Which I kind of go on about, sorry not sorry...

Requests
I'll try not to put particular emphasis on any of them as I'd love to get something for whatever you feel most comfortable writing, so how much description or squeeing I do has no bearing on how much I want any of them! The prompts are only there for inspiration, don't feel like you have to do one of them if you have something else in mind. I’ve also included optional ships for some of my requests, which you can add in secondarily if you want or ignore altogether. For all, I've requested fanfiction, but art would be awesome for treats as well. Feel free to add in other characters into the background/side pairings as you like :)
[Rogue One]Rogue One
I wasn't actually a huge fan of this movie bc I don't tend to like war movies or anything where the characters die, but I really loved the characters. They've all got such great dynamics and interesting, though vague, backstories. I especially loved Krennic, because that’s totally the kind of character I like. So much anger and righteous indignation, I can't help but love him lol
Galen Erso/Bodhi Rook
Bodhi was adorable and sweet and it would be great to see him and Galen interacting. They'd be a really cute couple, I think, though I'm sure they'd have to hide their relationship. That could also make for a lot of angst, which would be lovely as well!
Prompts
These two are such a tragic, fucked up love story. Either them being together before Galen left or getting together after Krennic forces him back would be fab. It doesn't have to be a really loving or romantic relationship, but I definitely wouldn't say no to that either. I think there's a lot that could be explored with them since they've known each other for so long and in such different circumstances.
Prompts
I don’t even know, man. I just saw a quote from the book and thought they sounded adorable. So I don’t really have anything particular in mind, but I certainly wouldn’t mind fix it fic.
Prompts
[Star Wars Sequel Trilogy]Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Most of my interest in Star Wars is in the First Order tbh. I really enjoy exploring the dynamics of the First Order and seeing all the different places in the galaxy. I’d love to see something that goes a lot further than the movie, in terms of worldbuilding and character. I really enjoyed TFA, but I hated TLJ, so feel free to ignore anything and everything from there.
Armitage Hux & Brendol Hux
I find this relationship both fascinating and really sad. Brendol was obvious a terrible person and an even worse father. I can’t imagine how much it fucked Hux up to know his father actively disliked and was disappointed by him. I imagine that’s a big part of why he’s so ambitious and ruthless, to prove to both Brendol and himself that he’s not worthless after all. I’d love to see something about Hux growing up and learning to deal with that. Something where Brendol has Hux’s accomplishments rubbed in his face would be fantastic as well lol
Prompts
Hux and Kylo are my favorite kind of antagonistic and I really enjoy the way they play off of each other. I would love to see how they met. Were they immediately at each other’s throats or did that come later? I’m always up for them meeting outside the First Order too, like hooking up at a bar or both being at some political event or whatever. I also really like Hux being the more controlling, dominant one in their relationship, though a more equal relationship is also perfectly fine. I don’t tend to mention top/bottom preferences as it doesn’t usually matter a whole lot to me, but if you do smut, please have Kylo bottoming.
Prompts
I dunno, man. It’s weirdly adorable, and somehow I’m fascinated by the idea of it lol I don’t have many particular ideas, but I would absolutely love some smut if you’re so inclined, especially with Poe fucking BB-8.
Prompts
I think the saga of Stabby the Space Roomba is hilarious and adorable, and I love how widespread it’s become. I’d love to see further adventures of Stabby, especially around the Finalizer. And a Stabby/BB-8 team up is bound to be exciting!
Prompts
I love how conflicted Kylo is as a character and it would be great to explore that, especially about his family and how he came to the Dark Side in the first place. I feel like he was one of the kids who, on the surface, had a really wonderful family that ended up fucking him up big time. I’d really love something about that, about him becoming disillusioned with the senate and the rebels, about not fitting in with Luke’s jedi teaching. I see him as someone who tries so hard to get attention and affection, and he just never got it in the way he needed it and so he lashed out.
Ships
Truthfully, I know like nothing about the Force or how it works lol But I’m really interested in seeing something about it! And I’d really love to see something about Kylo’s connection with the force. He’s such a conflicted character, connected to both sides of the Force. It would be so great to really see how he sees that connection, and how he feels about it and what he wants. Bring on all the canon and fanon!
Finn/Phasma
I can pinpoint the exact moment I started shipping this: I saw this post on twitter and immediately fell in love. I cannot get over the height difference and sexual tension lol I’d especially love to see something pre-TFA. They’d probably have to hide their relationship with him being a Stormtrooper, so that could be really interesting. Is there resentment because of that? Does anyone know? I’d definitely like something consensual, though it doesn’t necessarily have to be a happy and fluffy relationship.
Prompts
I'm fascinated with Snoke and Kylo's relationship and their goals, both personal and for the Order, esp since TLJ was such a letdown on that front. How did Snoke get Kylo to come over to the Dark Side and when? How loyal is Kylo to Snoke exactly? It being some sort of literal seduction would be great, or a student/teacher relationship that turns sexual. Or for something platonic, I’d especially like something where Snoke is a sort of parental figure for Kylo, whether from childhood or just when he’s older. My soul for Snoke being a better dad for Kylo than Han was!

Prompts
- Galen and Bodhi's secret rendezvous.
- Bodhi crushes on Galen from afar and thinks his feelings could never be returned until he goes into heat.
- Bodhi likes to hear Galen tell him how good he is.
These two are such a tragic, fucked up love story. Either them being together before Galen left or getting together after Krennic forces him back would be fab. It doesn't have to be a really loving or romantic relationship, but I definitely wouldn't say no to that either. I think there's a lot that could be explored with them since they've known each other for so long and in such different circumstances.
Prompts
- Krennic wants to pick their relationship back up when he brings Galen back, but Galen's not so sure.
- Galen and Krennic first meet on either side of a glory hole in a cantina.
- Krennic looks human, but Galen finds his genitalia are not really quite human.
I don’t even know, man. I just saw a quote from the book and thought they sounded adorable. So I don’t really have anything particular in mind, but I certainly wouldn’t mind fix it fic.
Prompts
- Somehow, K-2SO is the only one Bodhi really feels comfortable talking to.
- K-2SO gets damaged while they’re separated from the others and Bodhi has to repair him.

Prompts
- The first time Hux realized his father didn’t care about him.
- The day Hux finally outranks his father.
Hux and Kylo are my favorite kind of antagonistic and I really enjoy the way they play off of each other. I would love to see how they met.

Prompts
- Hux and Kylo's relationship falls apart once Snoke learns about it and it becomes a violent competition instead.
- Modern AU with Hux and Kylo in a 24/7 BDSM relationship.
- Leia and Snoke arrange a marriage between Kylo and Hux to stop the war.
- One of their arguments devolves into sex in a somewhat public spot on the Finalizer.
- Kylo really likes it when Hux tells him how good he is.
I dunno, man. It’s weirdly adorable, and somehow I’m fascinated by the idea of it lol I don’t have many particular ideas, but I would absolutely love some smut if you’re so inclined, especially with Poe fucking BB-8.
Prompts
- While Poe is on missions for Leia, sometimes BB-8 is the only one he’ll see or speak to for weeks.
- When Poe first got BB-8.
I think the saga of Stabby the Space Roomba is hilarious and adorable, and I love how widespread it’s become. I’d love to see further adventures of Stabby, especially around the Finalizer. And a Stabby/BB-8 team up is bound to be exciting!
Prompts
- Stabby receives its first commendation for bravery during a battle.
- The Stormtroopers adopt Stabby into their midst.
- BB-8 makes friends with Stabby, much to Poe’s horror and delight.
I love how conflicted Kylo is as a character and it would be great to explore that, especially about his family and how he came to the Dark Side in the first place.

Ships
- Kylo/Knights of Ren
- Kylo/Hux/Knights of Ren
- Kylo travels through the galaxy trying to figure himself out and ends up in the hands of some very unsavory characters.
- Kylo spends a lot of time alone while Leia is working and Han is off doing who knows what.
- In search of acceptance, Kylo ends up in a cult a la The Following.
- Kylo becomes a whore on an outer rim planet, open to be fucked by anyone coming through.
Truthfully, I know like nothing about the Force or how it works lol But I’m really interested in seeing something about it! And I’d really love to see something about Kylo’s connection with the force. He’s such a conflicted character, connected to both sides of the Force.

Prompts
- Finn has a crush on his unit commander, but he’s surprised to find his feelings returned.
- Phasma arranges for addition training for Finn, which in reality is just an excuse for them to have time together.
I'm fascinated with Snoke and Kylo's relationship and their goals, both personal and for the Order, esp since TLJ was such a letdown on that front. How did Snoke get Kylo to come over to the Dark Side and when? How loyal is Kylo to Snoke exactly?

- Snoke decides to create more Force users by breeding Kylo.
- Kylo accidentally soul bonds himself to Snoke.
- The first time Snoke spoke to Kylo.
