FICTION OF THE NINJA KIND

Dear Author:

Thank you for writing for me. I am so looking forward to reading what you come up with. I have tried to provide prompts for each fandom below, but as long as the characters/ships are included and the DNW are followed please do not feel constrained. Mixing and matching prompts or just elements from prompts are welcome.

DNW:
-Kid Fic
-Alternate Universes/Mundane AUs
-A/B/O
-Issue fic
-Character or ship bashing

Jane Yellowrock Series- Faith Hunter

I am caught up on the current books and they certainly ended on a down mood. Feel free to write all the fix it fic about the relationships indicated. If you don’t want to address any of that I like all of canon and you can set your story around whatever time frame you like. Canon divergence from the books is fine. Specific prompts are below. Other characters from canon are always welcome as supporting cast.

Jane & Alex & Eli

I enjoy their dynamic very much. I like how much Alex is growing up and contributing. I’m so happy they went and made themselves a family. So some ideal stories would include:
1. A case fic of their own that they each contribute to.
2. Family bonding surrounding their adoption ritual.
3. Post canon thoughts on what went down and how to salvage everything from it.
4. And early canon POV from Alex or Eli about Jane.

Jane/Bruiser/Leo

I’m not sure I ever bought Leo letting Jane and Bruiser’s relationship stand without more pushing. Leo is very difficult to understand sometimes. So if any of these prompts can be done from his POV I would be thrilled.

1. The scene where Leo finds out goes differently and they all end up together. We know Beast likes Leo, or at least thinks Leo is strong. Maybe she has something to do with it.
2. The time on the island is stressful. Maybe they find the time to de-stress together.
3. Any other way they get together. In the future, past, present. However you wanna imagine it happening.

Critical Role

The new campaign is bringing us interesting characters and we’re just getting into their back story. I’m still not sure how they’re all going to work out, but it is fun. Given what we do know about Fjord and Caleb feel free to take this in a darker direction. I do ask no additional player character (perma) death be included. Fake and or near death is fine. Stories that take place in the past or future welcome.

Jester & Nott

The most light hearted of my requests. I love how much fun they have together, and how dedicated to causing trouble/entertaining themselves they are.
1. Nott and Jester solve a crime/mystery. Solve can be used loosely.
2. Nott and Jester execute another fluffernutter type plan for battle.
3. Nott and Jester are unleashed at the Solstice Academy.

Fjord/Jester
1. I think the developments with the Orb(s) and Avantica have put some unexpected twists into this relationship. What is Jester thinking?
2. How Fjord and Jester met and why they decided to stay together.
3. The Mighty Nein didn’t stick together Fjord finds Jester in the future. I’d be intrigued by this idea if Fjord went in a less positive direction and had done something questionable with the Orbs.

Jester/Caleb
This is I think a stretch. So I don’t have specific prompts. I just enjoy the idea of cheerful Jester and grumpy Caleb together down the road.

The Last Kingdom

I haven’t read any of the books and I’m not very familiar with this period in history. So feel free to take historical liberties. I will not mind. I think this might be one of my favorite shows.

Hild & Uhtred

The respect they have come to have for each other is a breath of fresh air. I believe in their friendship. I love that they disagree but respect each other in so many areas of life. I don’t mind if you don’t use either of these prompts. If all you want to do is stick them on horses and have them travel together I’d love it.
1. Hild & Uhtred reunite with his children.
2. Hild & Uhtred in battle. What makes Hild fight again?

Osferth & Sihtric & Finan

I enjoy their camaraderie, loyalty, and suspicion. A healthy bit of suspicion they all have.

1. Where do they finally settle down and what does that look like for them?
2. Osferth was badly injured. I’d like to see the other two taking care of him, or getting revenge. Plotting how to keep him out of trouble.
3. The three of them getting Uhtred out of trouble..again.

EOS 10

Ryan/Akmazian

This podcast was a lot of fun. And like podcasts do, they start out fun and take a turn on you. I enjoyed the new season a lot. If you can find a way to incorporate it I would love it. If you want to go back to the original that’s also wonderful. No specific prompts for these two. I liked their unintentional flirting. How Ryan didn’t want to admit he liked Akmazian and now he misses him.

Dear Yuletide Author,

Thank you for writing for me! I’m pretty excited about a wide variety of fandoms this year. Please know that while I have more ideas for some, I truly want everything I’ve requested and I look forward to reading whatever you write. I hope this letter gives you some ideas and that you enjoy writing. Happy Yuletide!

Do Not Wants
Non-canonical character death
Rape
Excessive gore or mutilation
Bodily waste fluids
Animal abuse/death
Character Bashing
Non-Canon Based AU

General Likes and Dislikes
I enjoy character studies, and looks into character relationships. I enjoy future fic, and case fic. If there’s a minor character requested I wouldn’t mind something from their POV or an alternate POV to the main character. I have no objects to ship fic or porn. Write what makes you happy it will make me happy too. On a similar note gen is fine also. I will try to provide multiple types of prompts. I enjoy fork in the road AU’s or alternate takes on canon.

The Last Kingdom
Uhtred, Hild, Father Beocca

I really enjoy the relationships that this series has between characters. The genuine affection and exasperation between these three characters is wonderful to see. While I want the focus to be these three characters, if you need additional cast/characters in the background for plot reasons I have no objections. I understand that this might be based on a book series, but I have no knowledge of them or this historical time period other than we are seeing in the show. Attention to historical accuracy is welcome, but is not necessary.

Prompts
1. Anything set during Season 2 where the three of them were together. Can change POV character since we usually see things from Uhtred’s POV. Would love to see something from Hild about why she stays with Uthred.
2. A future journey/adventure with the three of them.
3. Uhtred’s protective tendencies toward both Hild and Father Beaocca. He protects Beaocca more, but he’s training Hild to kill. How do any/all of them feel about it?

The Bright Sessions
Adam Hayes, Caleb Michaels, Damien

I had a hard time picking characters to focus on for this request. I do love the entire cast, and how the show evolved. I’m caught up, and will be caught up once the podcast starts up again October. So dear writer, feel free to set this whenever. I would prefer that the relationships the show has developed be honored. I understand Damien is not a good person, I do not need him to become one, or to act like one. I think sometimes these three characters have an interesting dynamic and it could be fun or dark. It does not have to be fun.

Prompts
1. What happens after the end of season 3? How does it affect Adam and Caleb, and what do they do about Damien?
2. At one point, before they knew who Damien was they had some fun people watching together. Maybe they meet up again in the future and do the same?
3. Adam and Damien team up to rescue Caleb after the season 3 finale or Damien and Caleb team up to find Adam after his family sends him away? The three of them do something to help out Dr. Bright or some of the other cast.
4. Take Caleb and Damien’s obvious anger issues and run with them. Does it end well, does it end badly? I’m fine either way.
5. Damien and Adam go missing. Did Damien take Adam away because of what Caleb did? What happened? What does Caleb do.

Wolf 359
Doug Eiffel, Hera, Mr. Cutter

This started out as a really light hearted podcast that I found entertaining, and then it developed into something deeper and now I’m hooked. What I enjoy about Eiffel is that he adds some levity to every situation. I agree it can be a bit much at times, however, I find it refreshing that there is a character present who still thinks this is all ridiculous. Hera as an AI with flaws and identity issues has always been interesting. The fact that she is the station and there might be no way to get her home is also of interest to me. There will be more said about Mr. Cutter in the prompts. I am so curious as to where this show is going, and so my character selection does reflect that. If you are concerned about writing alongside ongoing canon please feel free to set your story at whatever point you’d like. I love all the characters on this show, so while my prompts are directed towards the ones I requested I have no problems with any other characters who might be necessary for plot, or just because you liked them too.

Prompts Contains Spoilers Through Episode 54
1. Eiffel returns from speaking to the Dear Listeners and Mr. Cutter is on the station-what happens next? I realize this prompt will somewhat have been answered in very short order, but feel free to take it your own direction.
2. Hera and Eiffel survive Wolf 359 and are taken home by Goddard Futuristic. It’s the two of them, and the only person they get to speak with is Mr. Cutter. How did this come to happen? Feel free to be as dark and angsty as you might like.
3. Hera is left at Wolf 359. She’s haunted by actual ghosts of characters past or just remembers.
4. Mr. Cutter has come into space. He has goals and objectives. Who thought the AI and the communications officer would be so helpful?

Jane Yellowrock
Jane Yellowrock, Bruiser (George Dumas), Leo Pellissier

What I really enjoy about this series is how practical everyone can be, and how impractical they sometimes choose to be. Jane will work for Leo, but she would rather not. Leo wants Jane to work for him, but only if she bends to his will. Bruiser is going to be in a relationship with Jane, no matter what it does to his relationship with Leo. It’s all very interesting. I am all caught up on the books, but the time setting of the story is up to you. I offer some future prompts, but if you want to alter them to be in a different time period please go right ahead. I tried to offer a variety of prompts, not just shipping ones but if you want to write threesome porn please do not let my gen prompts stop you. Similarly, I would be happy with a very plotty political fic set in this world. Whatever strikes your fancy. Supporting characters welcome.

Prompts
1. The fancy evil Euro vamps finally show up for real. Bruiser, Jane, and Leo end up in a room negotiating for survival (can be their survival specifically or the greater New Orleans vampire community).
2. Leo’s POV on pretty much any situation. He’s so old. Is his interest and objection to Jane/Bruiser simply that he wanted her first, and he also considered Bruiser his? Is Leo just possessive, or curious?
3. Jane finally gives into Leo’s attempts to get her in bed. Preferably with Bruiser.
4. Hurt/Comfort. One of them gets injured, the other go badass vengeance. Then they actually take care of the injured one.
5. Case type story involving the three of them.

I hope that one of these fandom’s and prompts inspires you! I look forward to reading when the story is revealed.

 

Dear Author,

Thank you for writing for me! I hope that you find my prompts inspiring. Please know that I am ok with both explicit and fluff. I will appreciate whatever strikes your fancy. I try to be very general in my prompts. All I ask for is that the characters are included in the story. Supporting characters or original characters are always welcome.

Do Not Wants

-Kid fic

-Alternate Universes/Mundane AU’s

-A/B/O, Beastality, or Mpreg

-Character or ship bashing

-Graphic torture

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Every time a new Star Wars movie comes out I fall in love all over again. I am happy with both canon compliant stories or alternate endings. I loved the movie, but at the same time it doesn’t leave writers with a lot of places to go-so I appreciate whatever direction you decide to go with this.

Cassian Andor/Jyn Erso

-You can stretch any of their mini-missions in the movie to give them more time together. Because they seem very close by the end is what I’m saying

-What were they thinking as the left the tower/were together on the beach

-What if they did live? What do they do next

-Jyn has met Cassian before. She hadn’t realized she’d hit his head so hard when they parted.

-Young Cassian with the rebellion had actually met young Jyn before when she was with Saw.

Galen Erso & Bodhi Rook or Bodhi Rook/Galen Erso

I can’t claim to be original with this prompt-but the idea has not left my mind. You can be shippy or non-shippy with this and as potentially dark as you want.

-How did Galen really convince Bodhi to defect from the Imperials?

-Galen and Bodhi talk about their lives before and their dreams for the future

Bodhi Rook & Jyn Erso

-They talk about her father

-Their lives in the future and their sibling like relationship

-Anything really. I like them both.

Person of Interest

I did not expect to like this show as much as I did, but there you go. The fact that these are the three characters still around is kind of perfect and also sad. I’m primarily interested in how they move on with their lives, but I understand if you’d rather focus on a happier time.

Lionel Fusco & Sameen Shaw & Bear

-Future case work together-accidental or on purpose

-Annual survival meetup

-A mini-case they worked together during the show?

Eyewitness

Leaving aside that I still can’t figure out why the killer ever killed anyone I did enjoy aspects of this show. I am all for the supporting characters making an appearance. I am fine with them not having a happy ending. They’re both young, and Lukas was pretty horrible for a lot of the show.

Philip Shea/Lukas Waldenbeck

-Immediate aftermath-Philip’s mom is dead, Lukas is still recovering and they’re going to make it work-right? Perhaps it’s not as easy and idyllic as the last scene shows.

-Future meet up. They can be together or not. Maybe they’re better as adults

-Everyone says there can’t be a second season because essentially lightning never strikes twice. What traumatizing thing happens to them next and how does it affect their relationship?

 Dear Trick or Treat Author,

I am so excited that you are writing for me! Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I'm open to a lot of things. In this case ship any of the characters if you want to unless it's in the DNW category below. I don't mind non-relationship fic either. Don't feel limited by my prompts specifically. I hope they just give you a general direction.

-Suspenseful situations

General Things I Like for Treats:

-Fluff. All the fluff.

-Slice of life/Case Fic

Star Trek AOS

Characters: James T. Kirk, Jaylah, Leonard “Bones” McCoy

Suggestions/Prompts:

-Jaylah’s attempts to find a new a new home in Starfleet

-The Enterprise Crew has clearly accepted Jaylah, what do they do to make a place for her once she’s done with Starfleet training

-Future space adventures fun or terrifying in any combination

-Somehow they’re all trapped in the park

-Another exciting dino adventure?

-Supporting Claire in the aftermath

Hello Author!

First of all, I will love anything you write. I’m excited to read about any of these prompts. Please do not feel bound to fit everything in. If one of my prompts gives you an idea for something, feel free to run with it. I know this is a relationship based exchange, and these different ships all make me happy. Please know that anything is welcome from fluff to more explicit works. Whatever your comfort zone is as long as my DNW are not included I’ll enjoy every word of it. Thank you so much for writing for me!

You can find my writing on AO3 under Ninj

Do Not Wants

-Non-Canon character death. If you need to reference a character that is already dead that’s fine. But I’d like all my requested characters to make it through the story. Canon levels of violence are acceptable for all fandoms-meaning if you do a battle scene for some reason, I understand things happen.

-As far as relationship/kinks please no A/B/O, Mpreg, noncon, or humiliation. Also, no watersports or bestiality.

-Please no kid fic.

Star Wars

-Rey/Finn/Poe

-I call them my OT3 in space. I feel lots of things about them, and their future, and their relationships to the original three. So anything that explores that would be wonderful. Some more specific prompts are below. Inclusion of any other characters canon or original are fine.

-Rey returning with Luke. Assuming Finn woke up while she was gone, what does this mean for her and Finn? What is Finn going to be doing now in the resistance? How does Poe feel about this girl he hardly knows?

-Any mission based fic. Two pilots and a former stormtrooper. What could go wrong?

-Speculation on their relationship further in the future. They’ve stopped Snoke/First Order. Do they separate for a time and find each other again?

Check Please

Eric Bittle/Kent Parson/Jack Zimmerman

Inclusion of any other canon characters is fine. I don’t know much about irl hockey players so you can include them based on your own knowledge/desire. However, RPF is not my thing so please do not include information about their relationships.

-Post graduation Bittle ends up with a job in Vegas. Can already have a relationship with Zimmerman or not. Anyway, now that he’s working their Parse and Bittle get to know each other.

-Parse and Zimmerman end up on the same team. However you want that to happen. Bitty pines over them both. Curses that they now play on the same team and he’s exposed to their amazingness all the time.

Eric Bittle/Jack Zimmerman

I don’t have any specific prompts about these two. Really anything where they finally figure out that they’re stupid for each other. At any time. Is it way in the future? Does graduation wake Jack up? Does Bitty’s graduation force him to take a chance? I don’t know, but I bet anyway it happens will be amazing.

Jurassic World

Owen Grady & The Raptor Squad

For this you could do a few things. I’d be ok with reading about their relationship pre-disaster. I’d also love to see what happens after. Arguably the only dino’s that were free were Rexy Sue and Blue. Does anyone care about the welfare of the others? does anyone go back? Does Owen go back to take Blue to the other island? Did other raptor’s survive? How about the park? Does it re-open?

Any canon characters from any of the movies are welcome. Special points if you can get Alan Grant and Owen Grady around raptor’s together. Obviously, it’s not a pairing so no relationship necessary.

Or maybe they're called diamonds? I don't know. I'm just thrilled with the gift and the treat I received. In two different fandoms! I was very blessed. I enjoyed reading them, they were exactly what I asked for and wanted, and so here, have some links below.

Hidden Legacy really took off as a fandom. By which I mean there were six stories written for Yuletide when previously, there were zero. This one was for me, but really, if you liked the book, read the tag for it is wonderful.

The Auction Job (7971 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Hidden Legacy Series - Ilona Andrews
Rating: General Audiences

Relationships: Nevada Baylor/Connor "Mad" Rogan

Summary:

"It said you had missed a call and three text messages from Rogan."

"Only three?" She raised her eyebrows. "I expected him to be more impatient when I didn't answer the first one."

Hamilton! This was really everything I ever wanted. I was fascinated by Laurens and by Hamilton. Author seemed to sense my interest, and did a wonderful job melding what could arguable be historical RPF and the actual play. They even gave me a link to the actual letters they wrote to each other. So this is wonderful too. Yesterday was Christmas, and so I haven't read the Hamilton tag.


To my dearest John Laurens, on the occasion of your engagement (2898 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Hamilton - Miranda
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Alexander Hamilton/John Laurens, John Laurens/Martha Manning
Characters: Alexander Hamilton, John Laurens, Gilbert du Motier Marquis de Lafayette, Martha Manning
Additional Tags: Unexpected Pregnancy, general sleeping around, Swearing, Epistolary, men being shitty to women, Pining
Summary:

In 1776, John Laurens (the real John Laurens) accidentally got Martha Manning pregnant and married her and then left her in London to go back and join the revolution. Here is how that would go in the Miranda universe. (Epistolary format.)

I wish they hadn't switched all the pre-coverage to NBC Sports channel because I do not get that channel. No one I knows does. So, I've only gotten to watch about two hours of coverage. I love it. I am rolling around in horse feelings and it is wonderful.

With 19 horses running in the Kentucky Derby it's hard to pick a winner. Add in the sloppy track and it's next to impossible. I used to rely on Gary Stevens to be reasonable as a former jockey, but the 50 year old is actually one of the big stories this year. After seven years in retirement he got back onto the track and now he has a mount for the Derby. I am very happy for him, but I was really worried about NBC coverage because they know nothing. So bless you Jerry Bailey for signing up to do Stevens job. At least there's someone who used to run actual races and doesn't just pay attention 5 weekends out of the year. So the word of wisdom from Jerry Bailey is Orb. He also liked Itsmyluckyday and Revolutionary.

Revolutionary is a good bet because he's both bred for sloppy and has been successful on sloppy tracks. So he's in my top five.

The hat will not be making an appearance this year. I think I'll just give a list of who my likely finishers are. I'll also name drop some favorites.

Revolutionary looks likely. It's stopped raining at Churchill judging from the video footage, but the track is not going to dry out in the next 30 minutes. He's not only good on the mud, but he's inside and has Calvin Borel as a jockey. So we'll see what happens.

I think my other top choices would be Orb or Verrazano. I think they're likely to be up there. They're in the middle of the field Verrazano more than Orb so that might be tricky, but maybe if they stay outside that would be good. One of the nice NBC announcers walked out on the track from the inside to the outside and it's good surface in maybe the 1-2 hole, but 3-6 is a deep wet mess. I would not want to be a mid pack runner in this race. Those horses are going to come out filthy. Filthy. Plus it means you have to take into account how the mid-field come from behinders are going to react to getting hit with all that mud. Dirt they're used to, but mud is interesting.

Mylute is an interesting horse. I wish Rosie Napravnik the best of luck. She won a race earlier today and it was a good ride. Plus she literally just corrected Bob Costas on air for getting facts wrong about her and Mylute. She's doing a great interview!

Zenyatta's jockey Mike Smith won the Kentucky Oaks yesterday and he's riding one of Pletcher's horses Palace Malice and so that's something to take into consideration. Pletcher has 5 horses in this Derby so we'll see how he finishes. That trainer has the worst luck in this race.

Also 40 years since Secretariat. I'd give anything to see a horse like him sweep the crown. Love him.

My internet went down on Saturday. I had to go until this morning without internet. There are no words for my pain.

It's back now. It took them two hours to resolve. Thank goodness it's fixed. It was disgraceful.

I'm alive!

Umm, irl things are still up in the air. Tis sad. Plus you know hurricane in the gulf. Actually had two conference calls at work today about it. Whee!

Because I need cheering up, and a distraction from my own head space I'm likely to do the following. I had to drop out of my TVD big bang which (still) makes me super sad because it looks like there aren't that many people who are going to finish. Some who are, I am very excited for. Anyway, I will probably do this and I encourage other flist members to do it too.
