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 last year, but I still really want everything I'm asking for.
Likes (Treats): Hurt/comfort, sickfic, humour, friendship, family relationships, romance, first time, established relationship, character studies, episode tags, AUs, fix-it fic, characters meeting in the afterlife, gay/bi characters, coming out stories, holiday fic, animal transformation, telepathy/empathy, soulmates, soulbonds, cultural differences, time travel
Likes (Tricks): Zombies, dead all along, hallucinations, ghosts, plagues, dystopias, twist endings, dark AUs/interpretations of characters, on the run from the government, reality is a lie
Dislikes: Non con, gore, character bashing, infidelity, asexual/aromantic headcanons, unrequested pairings, breakup of requested pairings, first and second POV, explicit sex
Fandoms:
Everybody - Don Broco (Music Video) (Dancing Cowboy, Captive Woman, Female Detective, Male Detective)
The video.
I have so many questions. How did the woman at the start get into that situation? Who is the Cowboy guy and why is he dancing? How does he make other people dance? Is it some kind of mind control or virus or aliens? Why do they all have giant grins? Who are the random guys in the room when the detectives arrive? How did the female detective manage to shoot the male one with her finger guns? Did he really die and come back to life, or was it just pretend?
Basically any explanation of just what the hell is going on in this video would be awesome.
Harry Potter (Dumbledore)
The whole Dumbledore/Grindelwald thing is fascinating to me, and I'd love something exploring it, either when they were young, or later during the war. I'd also really like to see an AU where they stayed together or made up later and either Dumbledore managed to lead Grindelwald back to the side of light, or he went the other way and they took over the world together. If you don't want to write Grindelwald, then I'd be interested in anything exploring his time as teacher/headmaster, especially if it involves LGBT students coming to him for advice/support.
Pairings I like: Dumbledore/Grindelwald
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
Other notes: Background pairings that don't conflict with Sam/Janet are fine.
Star Trek AOS (Spock, Spock Prime, Winona)
Spock: Spock is one of my favourite characters, and I'd really like to see a fic about him dealing with the loss of Vulcan, or anything exploring his friendship with Uhura or Kirk or Spock Prime, or any kind of h/c with him getting comforted. I'd also really love a fic about him realising he's gay and/or coming out.
Spock Prime: I'd like to see his reaction to how different the AOS characters are to the people he knew, and maybe him acting as a mentor to his younger self. Or something about his work on the new Vulcan colony could be interesting too - I could see it being a good setting for horror fic, if you wanted to go in that direction. Please no fic about his death, unless it's for a fic about him meeting up with Kirk Prime in the afterlife.
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. (I got some really great fics for this last year, but I always want more!)
Pairings I like: Kirk Prime/Spock Prime (past or present), Kirk/Spock, Spock/OMC, Winona/OFC
Fandom specific DNWs: Spock/Uhura (unless they're breaking up), references to STID, homophobia/sexism among humans/Starfleet, Vulcans having a lower body temperature than humans, Winona being a bad mother or having a bad relationship with Jim.
Star Trek TOS (Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Saavik, Sybok, 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. I'd also enjoy anything about him realising he's gay and/or coming out.
Scotty: How does he feel about being in command when both Kirk and Spock are gone? What does he do for fun (besides reading technical journals)? I'd also like to see him hanging out with some of the other crew, like McCoy, or Spock, or Uhura.
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.
Sybok: I know a lot of people like to pretend this movie never happened, but I've always found the idea of Spock having this long lost older brother who was exiled from Vulcan for, basically, being too emotional to be fascinating. I'd love an exploration of his relationship with Spock when they were young (in my mind he was one of the few people on Vulcan who was supportive of Spock, which made it worse when he left), or an AU where he doesn't die at the end of the film and they have to deal with everything that happened.
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, Scotty/Uhura, Peter/OMC
Fandom specific DNWs: Homophobia/sexism among humans/Starfleet, references to Spock having a sister, Vulcans having a lower body temperature than humans.
Thanks again!
