Dear Spacer... (2018)

measured_wordsThanks, first of all, for creating something for me! That is really the most important thing, and I will be delighted with whatever I wind up getting. I'm following my usual practice of cribbing heavily from other older letters, so hopefully it will retain some amount of coherency.
So first of all.... Generally speaking, I like stories that tell me a little bit more about the characters or the world they live in. I like stories with plot - with adventure, intrigue, and wacky hijinks. I also like stories that are more focused on character exploration – I don't need action if I have interesting introspection. I like both insider and outsider PoV stuff, and I feel like it is perfectly legit to write a story about a character that isn't from their perspective. I enjoy stories that are very emotionally intense, whether that means they are spilling over with ~feels~ or dark and unrelenting in tone – I enjoy horror, especially psychological horror, but also feel-good fluff.
I am definitely up for explicit stories for any of the requested "/" pairings! I don't have a list of specific squicks - I'm pretty open to stuff, and the delivery is really what's important. More than anything, when it comes (heh) to porn I want to be able to believe that the sex I'm reading is in character for whoever I'm reading about – not necessarily that it is something they want, but that the reactions I'm reading are true to whoever is having them, if that makes any sense. As for kinks, I like power dynamics, negotiation, all levels of consent (enthusiastic consent, ambiguous consent, dubcon, noncon), all kinds of sex (vaginal, anal, oral, intercrural, frottage, clothed, semiclothed, public, whatever!) knifeplay, breathplay, bdsm, blood, loyalty, kissing...a million other things I'm probably not thinking of. Basically, this is me.
As far as art goes, I should also note that I am interested in a variety of body shapes/sizes/colours, and I am also interested in symbolic representation and stylized art as well as more representational perspectives, as long as the requested characters or themes are in some way identifiable in the piece.
For podfic, I am someone who enjoys listening to storytelling, and I am interested in the delivery more than any kind of special effects (though those are cool as well!)
On to the specifics, then!
Star Wars (Marvel Comics)
Fanart, Fanfiction, Podfic
Requests: Relationship: Janus Kasmir/Kleeve
So, I remember reading the Kanan comics and being SO DELIGHTED at seeing these two wind up together at the end. It was just perfect, and I loved their little bit of banter and time together, and the sense of 'old married couple' I got from them at that stage. So - more of this! Show me how they came to be partners, show me how they get on together, show me what they are up to in a world that is becoming more and more dominated by the empire. :3
Star Trek Rihannsu Novels - Diane Duane
Fanart, Fanfiction, Podfic
Requests:Worldbuilding: Rihannsu (Diane Duane's Romulans), Worldbuilding: Earth-Romulan War, Character: Terise Haleakala-LoBrutto, Worldbuilding: The Declared settle ch'Rihan, Worldbuilding: Mnhei'sahe
Well, because I signed up at the last minute and didn't have my letter written, I know no one offered this, so I will not spend as much time as I might have on this section. But if anyone out there is a fellow fan who is feeling treat-ish - I would love absolutely anything you want to do in this world and with these characters. It isn't really in the request parameters explicitly, but if you want to import any of these ideas, concepts, or events into the ST:AOS world, I would be very interested in reading that as well!
Voltron: Legendary Defender
Fanart, Fanfiction, Podfic
Requests: Worldbuilding: The Blade of Marmora, Relationship: Haxus/Sendak, Relationship: Haggar/Zarkon, Relationship: Acxa & Ezor & Lotor & Narti & Zethrid, Worldbuilding: Non-Military Galra Culture, Relationship: Slav & Sven
As is probably evident, I am someone who finds the Galra interesting! I would like to know more about them - both what life is like for those who aren't directly serving the military, and for those who have a relationship to the mainstream Imperialist culture that is a little more subversive, whether that is the Blade or Lotor and his generals (who I love all dearly). With the latter, I'd love to see how they came together, what kept them together (before Narti's death), what they were generally up to, really anything! Or something that shows how well they work together. For the Blade, I'd love to know more about their history and aims, and why it has taken them so long to get to the point they were at, and to act, and what they thought they were accomplishing previously. For non-military Galra just.... what's that like? How do Galra citizens understand the world they live in? What is expected of them? What does a day in the life look like? Is Varkon, with his poster of Zarkon in his locker, the norm? What do people think of the empire? Are there other kinds of resistance? Is there anti-Zarkon graffiti in the streets
Haxus/Sendak was the first thing I shipped in this show, because they both hit my 'competent Villain' and 'loyalty/dependency between superior and trusted right hand' kinks. I like different interpretations of how that relationship plays out and how it might be accepted within the context of the imperial military (is it a taboo? is it expected? Is it romantic or something else). I like seeing them work together, and stuff about them negotiating their relationship around the expectations of their positions is always cool. I am personally in the "dommy Haxus" camp, but I am happy to read other takes as well!
Zarkon and Haggar was also something I shipped before the show gave us their backstory. I love how they are supportive and dependent and also really bring out the worst impulses in each other, as far as others are concerned. I'd really be happy with anything, but if you are looking for prompts, something about Honerva's early time on Daibazal, with Zarkon helping her get settled in, and their early courtship? or else her dealing with the return of her memories and tryign to find out what Zarkon remembers would be interesting too!
And finally, my only non-Galra related request, Sven & Slav. I loved the episode where they appeared, and how they seemed to work so well together! tell me what is different about them and their reality as compared to regular Shiro and Slav.... and also, tell me if Sven makes it to space hospital in time, and whether they continue to be able to effectively resist the domination of Altea in their own reality :3
