My general preferences are here.

I really love this challenge.  Please know that you can never go wrong with a crossover or mutli-verse crossover (Infinite Spocks in Infinite Timelines?  JUST SMASH EVERYONE TOGETHER AND WAVE YOUR HANDS) and a little cracky is juuuuust right.  I like serious too, but sometimes I am down for "And then, somehow, Palpatine returned" so we can get to the characters doing their thing.

Just have fun!

TREATS WELCOMED

 

My general preferences are here, but here is the modified version of my Star Wars preferences:

So, I'm a Star Wars fan who's a little sad that the Extended Universe got handwaved away - I really loved Timothy Zahn and Michael Stackpole, and my requests reflect that.  I am a Legends girl at heart, and you can’t go wrong if you write me something that belongs in either a Timothy Zahn book or Stackpole’s Rogue Squadron books.

However, I'm also a Star Wars fan who thought Rogue One totally and completely rocked it out of the park. Loved it loved it loved it!

Please don't refer to anything that happened after the godawful Vector Prime and switch to Del Rey.

I'm also not a very active Star Wars fan.

I enjoyed the sequels (although that like is dwindling more every time I see a stupid handwave plot post) but didn’t LOVE them, especially after the ridiculously evident fact that they DIDN’T HAVE A PLAN.

I love the original three.

I am NOT a fan of the prequels.  I wanted to like them, but I just couldn’t get past Phantom Menace and the stupidity of traveling around with young Obi-Wan Kenobi and falling for Anakin.   I’m not familiar with the animated SW shows, and my ignoring the sequels means I also missed all the “Jedi don’t have emotional attachments” which maybe should have gone down as a bad idea. 

I’m not currently familiar with The Mandalorian other than Baby Yoda memes.  I enjoyed Kenobi, have not watched Andor.

I did enjoy the zaniness of the Star Wars Lego Holiday special, so feel free to play off that.

My heart is with the original 3 (and Rogue One, now that it exists) and the "waved away" Extended Universe.  The more they make me feel like it requires me to do homework, the less interested I am.

I'm also not really a Luke fan. Give me Han and Wedge any day of the week. And maybe Ben Kenobi.  Or an AU where Biggs Darklighter becomes the most famous pilot from Tatooine.  And maybe find some way to make Rey a Kenobi descendant…?  I really wanted her to be a Kenobi descendant.

On all my requests, I'm TOTALLY and completely fine with the idea of the characters being in a tapcafe or cantina or bar telling stories about "that one time" - or having encounters in bars.

I like "what-if" AUs, but not "Star Wars: The Dorms".

Please feel free to mix and match my requests.  If you figure out some way to work them all in, I guarantee you I will enjoy it!

Also, after watching some of the original Thundercats, I think it is obvious: Jaga is a Jedi Master.  Feel free to run with this.

My overall DNW are extreme/explicit/sexual violence, nominated character death, cruelty to children/animals.

On to my requests!

 

 

( May The Fourth Be With You! )

 

My general preferences are here.

So I really love this challenge. It gives me a chance to step outside the sort of thing I normally write, and it gives me the opportunity to get some nice ghost encounter stories and/or a mythology fix.

General: Try not to make everything too dark - some darkness in the progress of the story is fine, but don't end it that way. Bittersweet or slightly creepy "do I want to turn on the lights before I go up" is always good.

I also LOVE crossovers. If you want to smash a few of the prompts together, I would be A-OK with that. I'd also be cool with you dragging in characters from other fandoms (Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys investigate the Ocean-Born Mary house. Go for it.)

My blanket DNW are nominated character death, cruelty/death to animals/children, extreme/graphic/sexual violence.
