Dear Unconventional Fanworks Creator 2019 letter
Dear author,
Thank you so much for what you’re going to create! I love these characters and ships, and I’m so excited for the things you will do! If you would like prompts and thoughts, this letter is here-if not, please feel free to pay no mind to it. I’m more used to just prompting fic, and I believe what’s here will reflect that, but hope the thoughts will be of some use in case you decide to look to them for guidance or inspiration.

Audio Likes
I don’t usually write about audio/podfics, I'm sorry if this is a bit vague. While some of the things most featured in my music collection/Spotify are ballads, folk songs, pop music, and alternative rock, I also tend to enjoy songs across a variety of musical genres. I love musical theatre too. In-universe audio recordings, of lectures or reports or hidden records could be cool. Music and/or sound effects are fine but I don't need them to enjoy a recording.
Vid Likes
As with podfic, I've never written about vid before. Hopefully this is helpful anyway! Atmosphere, pretty images, editing that builds on parallels and/or tells a story. Or maybe, like above, video that's used in an educational context, or that's part of a report. Star Wars and Buffy both have video games, and you're welcome to use footage from those if there's any you can get.
IF Likes
I rarely write about IF, so I hope this is helpful! I've mostly played web-based and CYOA games, but I'm open to receiving something different if the program is small and easily accessible. It's been a while, so I'm afraid I'm not sure what to say other than that.

Ahsoka Tano (SWTCW)
My favorite and forever girl. I love her curiosity, her ability to follow what she feels is right even when she’s full of uncertainty and her life is in shambles, her independence in that. She’s still kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. I’d love glimpses of her pre-Anakin life-what was life as a youngling like for her? Did she want to join the war? What did she think of it? I’d also love to see her getting her lightsabers. Or what she did after leaving the Jedi, trying to survive and not being able to help using her abilities to help people, but working without the resources and support she’s used to, trying to find her place in the galaxy. How did she work on keeping a sense of who she was, after leaving everything she’d used to define herself, her life’s dream and goal?
Group: Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (SWTCW), Group: Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano (SWTCW)
I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. I’d love something sweet during any time period; what about one of the times he’s sharing his mechanical knowledge-which he got from his mother-with her? I like to think it’s his way of meditation, and that it’s how he trains her with regard to that aspect of Jedi life. Or what about after a battle, when they both need to talk or just be together? I really liked the point in her novel where she’s thinking about how he used to take care of her after battles, help her deal with the mental toll of the war. I love their banter and their pleasure in dangerous situations, so maybe a moment building on that. Or something leaning on the near-telepathic abilities the Force gives them, with regard to being able to sense each others' feelings--they might sense something and pursue the matter, or get distracted and lose control of their own feelings. Not to mention, the Force gives them more stamina, so they could last awhile. Maybe they could celebrate a victory, or just let out their mischievous/competitive side during sex/something romantic. Or they could have any of the conversations they might otherwise engage in, except during sex/something romantic. Or they could be fixing his prosthesis! How about an AU where one or both of them was never found by the Jedi: Anakin remains a slave, Ahsoka was successfully captured as a toddler and sold by the bounty hunter (I love that bit of her backstory for the what-if of how she nearly had another thing in common with Anakin), so they run into each other under those circumstances; only one of them goes through what’s described above, until they’re found by the Sith, while the other remains a Jedi. Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived-they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. I’d also love a Regency AU (set in space or somewhere more historical) akin to Sorcerer of the Crown by Zen Cho, with Anakin in this unstable position in society due to his origins and Ahsoka, also with a less than respectable background, swooping into his life with all her confidence and talent. Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.”

The transfusion of life from The Daughter could be fun to play with. Maybe Ahsoka becomes immortal. Maybe she has to outlive everyone she ever comes to know, and not just because they all got killed in the various wars going on. Or she ascends into godhood the more enlightened she becomes, with her own power and experience melded with The Daughter’s, and there comes to be a temple with her image somewhere. What if she sees her in dreams? Maybe The Daughter becomes another teacher to her alongside Anakin. Or she watches her, always connected, but Ahsoka isn’t wholly aware of it until later-maybe in Malachor, when she seems to stop participating in worldly matters and instead delve into the mystical side of the Force more deeply.
Group: Daughter | Winged Goddess & Anakin Skywalker & The Son | Fanged God & Ahsoka Tano (SWTCW), Group: Daughter | Winged Goddess/Anakin Skywalker/The Son | Fanged God/Ahsoka Tano (SWTCW)
I really loved all the Mortis stuff and I think it would be fun to play with things like balance, ritual elements (like Anakin proving he’s who those Force Avatars want on that platform, or the special weapon that could kill them), and the resurrection of Ahsoka through the lens of marriage, or marriage through the lens of those things. All of that and the erotic potential of the Force. (For more on that, see this fanvid. I don’t mean to suggest you should use anything from it, I just like the general vibe of “hey, the Force is a thing I can feel you with.” and want to share it with everyone.)

Ahsoka Tano (SWR)
My favorite and forever girl. I love her curiosity, her ability to follow what she feels is right even when she’s full of uncertainty and her life is in shambles, her independence in that. She’s still kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. I’d love to see her working as a spy, bringing the Rebellion’s intelligence network into being. It must’ve been a lonely life, and in her book we see how she has to tamp down her Force abilities to avoid notice, which alienates her even more from how she used to be. How does she hold on to her purpose, her sense of self? Show me her doing some good deeds, maybe Rebellion-related, or maybe not, maybe just because. Or show me what she did after walking back into Malachor’s Sith temple.
Group: Ahsoka Tano & Vader (SWR), Group: Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader (SWR)
I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. It seems to me that trying to kill Ahsoka was not in Vader’s plan-he’d wanted her alive before, and he had opportunities he didn’t take-so what would he do if he ever did find out she survived him? Especially if she never came out to try and find him. Does he try to keep her a secret? Keep on going in the face of her not coming back? Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived-they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. Is he exiled or hidden in some distant world, or even in the Unknown Regions, and does she go with him or does she find him? Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” I can also see a bit of a Hades/Persephone element.

One of the most intriguing get-togethers that hasn’t happened. In their own ways, they each represent Anakin’s legacy, and they have their own relationships to that and to him. Ahsoka is his path not taken, having faced her own capacity for darkness when she wanted vengeance and chose against it, and Kylo Ren believes he is continuing his work by choosing against his capacity for goodness; as they both turn away and leave him behind, they continue on their paths, one to remove herself from the galaxy at large until she is needed and the other to dominate it in an attempt to fulfill his own needs. Does Kylo Ren ever find out his grandfather had an apprentice? What if he met her on some pilgrimage to Malachor? Or, in a universe where Anakin survived and Ben Solo still became Kylo Ren, would Kylo Ren find them together, and perhaps come to a different choice? Or maybe he finds Ahsoka in a sleep-like trance in the ruins of Malachor, and waking her leads to her being able to ward off Snoke’s influence? Maybe she trains him instead of or in addition to Luke, or a repentant Ben finds her when he’s trying to put what’s left of his destruction into a new life.
Group: Rey (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy) & Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation), Group: Rey (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
The concept of these two meeting is great! Ahsoka is touched by the light side, both in her choice to live in it and in how its very essence gave her back her life. Rey awoke to her power as the dark side rose. They both try to reach a dark-side user they see more in, and succeed, only to be betrayed by him, and they both face the hard choice of letting him go and coming in to their potential themselves, without any help. What if Ahsoka walked through another portal, when she knew it was time? Or perhaps she learned how to become a Force Ghost and that is the version Rey meets on a dream quest? Or maybe Ahsoka has become ageless, in a sleep-like trance under Malachor’s ruined Temple, until Rey goes there and wakes her up?
Group: Poe Dameron (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation), Group: Poe Dameron (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy) & Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Ahsoka would be a legend by now, and I really like the idea of her having authority over Poe-or sway if she’s not an official part of the Resistance for whatever reason. What if she’s one of his heroes? Meanwhile, his being a hotshot pilot could give her a little nostalgia. She could keep an eye on him, but not really mind. Maybe she’s just come back from Malachor, and it’s the future, and she’s willing to help the Resistance once they’ve all confirmed who they are (perhaps with some help from Leia or Chewie). Or she’s one of the allies in the Outer Rim, having returned from the Unknown Regions, and he might’ve been sent to her; alternately, she saves them at the eleventh hour and they have an encounter in a brief moment of downtime.
Group: Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars) & Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Group: Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Two destined heroes, unconventional within their context and struggling to balance their duties with their personal desires, capable of deep love, and hellishly dangerous in battle. A slight tendency to brood and cut themselves off because they are the One and nobody else can do what they can do. Then, they both experience the depression of having to keep living when they thought their life was over, they were done, and it would have come as a relief to be dead. Fuse their universes, have one of them visit the other in a dream-they’re both psychic that way-or have some portal shenanigans with the Force/Hellmouth. Maybe one of them is stuck in a temple via cryogenics or a spell and the other finds them in the ruins. Or, they run into each other when Buffy’s in that trap that turns homeless Earth people into slave labor; maybe she ends up on Tatooine instead, or he and/or Shmi got taken there at some point from Tatooine, and they escape together. Then they bond! Maybe they’ve been dreaming of each other all this time without knowing, being a comfort to each other. Maybe when Buffy died, they connected on the astral plane, and then she’s pulled back to life…
Group: Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)
These two are charged with energy all by themselves, and the thought of them with each other is delicious. Both of them have this intensity of feeling, as well as the whiff of prophecy about them. They both have a desire to remake the world around them for the better, and a ruthlessness in following that drive. With interesting differences: where Dany is willing to learn to rule and to navigate mercy while in an environment that encourages violence, Anakin is raised to value mercy but struggles to adhere to it, and he isn’t raised to think he can rule-he just decides it as part of his personal fuck everything breakdown. What would it be like, if they could meet? The potential vibe reminds me of the Daario scene where he kneels and delivers the heads of her enemies. At the same time, they started out as gentler souls, and they have love in their hearts. They could share an understanding, I think. They’d be a potent mix. Also, I like the appearance of flight in their stories: Anakin is the best flyer and it’s part of how he got out of slavery, where Daenerys is the first to fly dragons in many years, which provides her with both power and a means of escape. Plus they both love doing it. And I know this is more book Daenerys, and I haven’t read the books, but the line “if I look back, I am lost” has always been very striking; it seems like something that could apply to Anakin, who, as he states in The Clone Wars film, “[doesn’t] want to talk about my past...The desert is merciless.
It takes everything from you.”
Feel free to AU either of them into the other’s universe, or have them share one, or let the mystical shenanigans fly free. They dream of each other during bad times, they might or might not know they will meet.
Again, thank you so much, and I really hope you enjoy the exchange!

I rarely write about IF, so I hope this is helpful! I've mostly played web-based and CYOA games, but I'm open to receiving something different if the program is small and easily accessible. It's been a while, so I'm afraid I'm not sure what to say other than that.

Ahsoka Tano (SWTCW)
My favorite and forever girl. I love her curiosity, her ability to follow what she feels is right even when she’s full of uncertainty and her life is in shambles, her independence in that. She’s still kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. I’d love glimpses of her pre-Anakin life-what was life as a youngling like for her? Did she want to join the war? What did she think of it? I’d also love to see her getting her lightsabers. Or what she did after leaving the Jedi, trying to survive and not being able to help using her abilities to help people, but working without the resources and support she’s used to, trying to find her place in the galaxy. How did she work on keeping a sense of who she was, after leaving everything she’d used to define herself, her life’s dream and goal?
Group: Anakin Skywalker/Ahsoka Tano (SWTCW), Group: Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano (SWTCW)
I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. I’d love something sweet during any time period; what about one of the times he’s sharing his mechanical knowledge-which he got from his mother-with her? I like to think it’s his way of meditation, and that it’s how he trains her with regard to that aspect of Jedi life. Or what about after a battle, when they both need to talk or just be together? I really liked the point in her novel where she’s thinking about how he used to take care of her after battles, help her deal with the mental toll of the war. I love their banter and their pleasure in dangerous situations, so maybe a moment building on that. Or something leaning on the near-telepathic abilities the Force gives them, with regard to being able to sense each others' feelings--they might sense something and pursue the matter, or get distracted and lose control of their own feelings. Not to mention, the Force gives them more stamina, so they could last awhile. Maybe they could celebrate a victory, or just let out their mischievous/competitive side during sex/something romantic. Or they could have any of the conversations they might otherwise engage in, except during sex/something romantic. Or they could be fixing his prosthesis! How about an AU where one or both of them was never found by the Jedi: Anakin remains a slave, Ahsoka was successfully captured as a toddler and sold by the bounty hunter (I love that bit of her backstory for the what-if of how she nearly had another thing in common with Anakin), so they run into each other under those circumstances; only one of them goes through what’s described above, until they’re found by the Sith, while the other remains a Jedi. Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived-they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. I’d also love a Regency AU (set in space or somewhere more historical) akin to Sorcerer of the Crown by Zen Cho, with Anakin in this unstable position in society due to his origins and Ahsoka, also with a less than respectable background, swooping into his life with all her confidence and talent. Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.”

The transfusion of life from The Daughter could be fun to play with. Maybe Ahsoka becomes immortal. Maybe she has to outlive everyone she ever comes to know, and not just because they all got killed in the various wars going on. Or she ascends into godhood the more enlightened she becomes, with her own power and experience melded with The Daughter’s, and there comes to be a temple with her image somewhere. What if she sees her in dreams? Maybe The Daughter becomes another teacher to her alongside Anakin. Or she watches her, always connected, but Ahsoka isn’t wholly aware of it until later-maybe in Malachor, when she seems to stop participating in worldly matters and instead delve into the mystical side of the Force more deeply.

I really loved all the Mortis stuff and I think it would be fun to play with things like balance, ritual elements (like Anakin proving he’s who those Force Avatars want on that platform, or the special weapon that could kill them), and the resurrection of Ahsoka through the lens of marriage, or marriage through the lens of those things. All of that and the erotic potential of the Force. (For more on that, see this fanvid. I don’t mean to suggest you should use anything from it, I just like the general vibe of “hey, the Force is a thing I can feel you with.” and want to share it with everyone.)

Ahsoka Tano (SWR)
My favorite and forever girl. I love her curiosity, her ability to follow what she feels is right even when she’s full of uncertainty and her life is in shambles, her independence in that. She’s still kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. I’d love to see her working as a spy, bringing the Rebellion’s intelligence network into being. It must’ve been a lonely life, and in her book we see how she has to tamp down her Force abilities to avoid notice, which alienates her even more from how she used to be. How does she hold on to her purpose, her sense of self? Show me her doing some good deeds, maybe Rebellion-related, or maybe not, maybe just because. Or show me what she did after walking back into Malachor’s Sith temple.
Group: Ahsoka Tano & Vader (SWR), Group: Ahsoka Tano/Darth Vader (SWR)
I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. It seems to me that trying to kill Ahsoka was not in Vader’s plan-he’d wanted her alive before, and he had opportunities he didn’t take-so what would he do if he ever did find out she survived him? Especially if she never came out to try and find him. Does he try to keep her a secret? Keep on going in the face of her not coming back? Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived-they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. Is he exiled or hidden in some distant world, or even in the Unknown Regions, and does she go with him or does she find him? Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” I can also see a bit of a Hades/Persephone element.

One of the most intriguing get-togethers that hasn’t happened. In their own ways, they each represent Anakin’s legacy, and they have their own relationships to that and to him. Ahsoka is his path not taken, having faced her own capacity for darkness when she wanted vengeance and chose against it, and Kylo Ren believes he is continuing his work by choosing against his capacity for goodness; as they both turn away and leave him behind, they continue on their paths, one to remove herself from the galaxy at large until she is needed and the other to dominate it in an attempt to fulfill his own needs. Does Kylo Ren ever find out his grandfather had an apprentice? What if he met her on some pilgrimage to Malachor? Or, in a universe where Anakin survived and Ben Solo still became Kylo Ren, would Kylo Ren find them together, and perhaps come to a different choice? Or maybe he finds Ahsoka in a sleep-like trance in the ruins of Malachor, and waking her leads to her being able to ward off Snoke’s influence? Maybe she trains him instead of or in addition to Luke, or a repentant Ben finds her when he’s trying to put what’s left of his destruction into a new life.
Group: Rey (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy) & Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation), Group: Rey (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
The concept of these two meeting is great! Ahsoka is touched by the light side, both in her choice to live in it and in how its very essence gave her back her life. Rey awoke to her power as the dark side rose. They both try to reach a dark-side user they see more in, and succeed, only to be betrayed by him, and they both face the hard choice of letting him go and coming in to their potential themselves, without any help. What if Ahsoka walked through another portal, when she knew it was time? Or perhaps she learned how to become a Force Ghost and that is the version Rey meets on a dream quest? Or maybe Ahsoka has become ageless, in a sleep-like trance under Malachor’s ruined Temple, until Rey goes there and wakes her up?
Group: Poe Dameron (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation), Group: Poe Dameron (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy) & Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Animation)
Ahsoka would be a legend by now, and I really like the idea of her having authority over Poe-or sway if she’s not an official part of the Resistance for whatever reason. What if she’s one of his heroes? Meanwhile, his being a hotshot pilot could give her a little nostalgia. She could keep an eye on him, but not really mind. Maybe she’s just come back from Malachor, and it’s the future, and she’s willing to help the Resistance once they’ve all confirmed who they are (perhaps with some help from Leia or Chewie). Or she’s one of the allies in the Outer Rim, having returned from the Unknown Regions, and he might’ve been sent to her; alternately, she saves them at the eleventh hour and they have an encounter in a brief moment of downtime.
Group: Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars) & Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Group: Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Two destined heroes, unconventional within their context and struggling to balance their duties with their personal desires, capable of deep love, and hellishly dangerous in battle. A slight tendency to brood and cut themselves off because they are the One and nobody else can do what they can do. Then, they both experience the depression of having to keep living when they thought their life was over, they were done, and it would have come as a relief to be dead. Fuse their universes, have one of them visit the other in a dream-they’re both psychic that way-or have some portal shenanigans with the Force/Hellmouth. Maybe one of them is stuck in a temple via cryogenics or a spell and the other finds them in the ruins. Or, they run into each other when Buffy’s in that trap that turns homeless Earth people into slave labor; maybe she ends up on Tatooine instead, or he and/or Shmi got taken there at some point from Tatooine, and they escape together. Then they bond! Maybe they’ve been dreaming of each other all this time without knowing, being a comfort to each other. Maybe when Buffy died, they connected on the astral plane, and then she’s pulled back to life…
Group: Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)
These two are charged with energy all by themselves, and the thought of them with each other is delicious. Both of them have this intensity of feeling, as well as the whiff of prophecy about them. They both have a desire to remake the world around them for the better, and a ruthlessness in following that drive. With interesting differences: where Dany is willing to learn to rule and to navigate mercy while in an environment that encourages violence, Anakin is raised to value mercy but struggles to adhere to it, and he isn’t raised to think he can rule-he just decides it as part of his personal fuck everything breakdown. What would it be like, if they could meet? The potential vibe reminds me of the Daario scene where he kneels and delivers the heads of her enemies. At the same time, they started out as gentler souls, and they have love in their hearts. They could share an understanding, I think. They’d be a potent mix. Also, I like the appearance of flight in their stories: Anakin is the best flyer and it’s part of how he got out of slavery, where Daenerys is the first to fly dragons in many years, which provides her with both power and a means of escape. Plus they both love doing it. And I know this is more book Daenerys, and I haven’t read the books, but the line “if I look back, I am lost” has always been very striking; it seems like something that could apply to Anakin, who, as he states in The Clone Wars film, “[doesn’t] want to talk about my past...The desert is merciless.
It takes everything from you.”
Feel free to AU either of them into the other’s universe, or have them share one, or let the mystical shenanigans fly free. They dream of each other during bad times, they might or might not know they will meet.
Again, thank you so much, and I really hope you enjoy the exchange!
