My general preferences are here.

 

DNW: unrequested mundane AU | female characters in fridges | non-con | violent dub-con | graphic violence | gore | graphic sexual violence | cruelty/death to animals | cruelty/death to children | requested character death | unrelieved grimdark | bigotry by the good guys | first or second POV | reader fic | ABO | soulbonds | wildly OOC in a non-cracky way

 

SMUT DNW: creampies | the word “cunt” | anal | hate each other out of bed | underage | incest

 

MAYBE: no-harm dubcon (sex pollen or “fertility artifact”) | period typical attitudes | infidelity | power dynamic

 

I love treats!

 

 

 

Nantucket Trilogy - S.M. Stirling 

 

WB: Tensions between uptimers and downtimers (Nantucket Trilogy)

WB: Revenge of William Walker's Side (Nantucket Trilogy)

WB: Nantucketers are the Sea Peoples (Nantucket Trilogy)

WB: Nantucket-Babylon politics (Nantucket Trilogy)

WB: The Nantucket Library (Nantucket Trilogy)

 

Martha Cofflin (Nantucket Trilogy)

Kathryn Hollard (Nantucket Trilogy)

Althea Walker (Nantucket Trilogy)

Odikweos (Nantucket Trilogy)

Kashtiliash (Nantucket Trilogy)

 

 

All characters do not need to appear.

 

Primarily looking for the following:

 

1. As the trilogy closes, Althea Walker and Ohotolarix are riding into Central Asia. I don't think Walker's daughter stays down for long. How does she come back? Do they mount any attempts to find her?

 

2. It's always hinted that Kathryn is going to find herself more torn between her roles as Queen of Babylon and Nantucketer - show me more of that. I don't want her and Kashtiliash torn apart but I am good with some angst and a compromise. Or, what drives the stake in the alliance's heart? How does Kathryn feel about being on the wrong side

 

3. Tensions go along with alliance with Babylon failing, but this I see as more of the little things that make it difficult for the two groups to get along. Maybe look at the experiences of downtime students who come to Nantucket - everyone can't be happy and welcoming.

 

4. Do any of their historians ever realize that the Nantucketers are LITERALLY the Sea Peoples? Are there conspiracy theories? Do they find some group to be the Sea Peoples?

 

5. The Nantucket Library - tell me about acquiring new works, or planting new satellite libraries elsewhere or explaining "late fees" to other cultures.

 

So like, I just want MORE.  What happens next?  I’m never going to stop being salty about 10+ emberverse books and nothing more for this trilogy.

 

I love Kathryn/Kash and their adaptation to each other’s world.

 

Sea Peoples.  The Sea Peoples.  I can’t believe I just realized it a few years ago. 

 

I don’t want Althea to win completely, but I wouldn’t be opposed to her carving out a little queendom and causing problems, but interacting with other players.

 

Martha Cofflin helping smooth things over, providing services through the library?  I feel like she and Kathryn could have some excellent chats.  How does the library get new titles?  Translations?  Late fees in barter?

 

Interested in Odikweos playing political games.

 

One of my takes on the subject is here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/4927651

Eric | The Cavalier (Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon)

Sheila | The Thief (Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon)

Ramoud (Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon)

 

All characters do not need to appear.

 

1. I'd really love something lush that shows a royal court our adventurers come upon. Maybe Eric or Sheila are kidnapped by a princess/prince? Maybe show us Ramoud's court? Or show us a historical one of a queen from the Hall of Bones?

 

2. How do the portals that don't lead home make them feel? Maybe a portal that appears to go home but just takes them elsewhere in the Realm? You can make this one a little darker if you like but eventually save them.

 

3. There have to have been other parties that DM brought through. What happened to them? Are they still trapped in the Realm? Might they join forces?

 

4. How long are they in the Realm vs. how long are they gone in the real world? Canon suggests that no one has even noticed they're gone.

 

5. They get home but get pulled back. Why? How do they feel about it?

 

The portals that go elsewhere – I am totally down if you want to do a little time travel or they never existed/have been missing. 

 

For how long they’ve been gone - I am good for either side of the argument. 

 

I’m totally down for 1000+ words of description, scene-setting fluff.  Or a Back to the Realm story. 

 

I do love Ramoud so please include him.  He would be a great force for exposition, but I love him and Eric together.

 

I’m a huge Eric/Sheila shipper. 

 

Pretty much what it says.  If you want to channel a fairy tale or something similar (Sleeping Beauty or perhaps Princess and the Pea) go for it.   A fairy tale telling of the Hall of Bones?  A fairy tale the kids have to unravel?

 

Why do they get pulled back?

Sorceress of Castle Grayskull | Zoar the Falcon (He-Man 1983 Cartoon)

 

All characters do not need to appear.

 

1. The Sword of Power - have there been others? What is special about the sword?

 

2. Other Champions - Have there been others?

 

3. Eternian Mythology - Feel free to recast some Earth myths/fairy tales in Eternian clothes.

 

4. Earth-Eternia Contact - Tell me how that goes.

 

Pretty much what it says above.  Is there anything to indicate that Adam’s sword is different/special?  Have there been other champions?  Does Marlena being from Earth have anything to do with her children’s special fate?  Randor telling Marlena about Eternian myths/history (could even do a reverse 1001 nights).  Castle Grayskull – is it, as Revelations suggests, the well of all magic on Eternia?

 

Marlena Glenn is an astronaut from Earth who crashes on Eternia, falls for the king, and never goes home. Oh yeah, and her kids are superheroes.

 

There is an episode where Eternia and Earth make contact, but it's not the best. So give me a better one! Maybe some sort of rover/probe/space machine ends up on Eternia (yes, I would totally love a happy ending for a little space machine whose battery is running low and it's dark) and this leads to them making contact? I'd love to see Marlena at least visit home, or have vistors from home, or somehow open up communications.  This would be great for #6.  I especially like the idea of little space machines. Man-at-Arms could fix and improve it! I would also love the idea that Earth has been looking for Marlena. I'd also love a hint of the two of them sharing mechanical skills?

 

Or if you want to go a different route, what constellations do the Eternians see? What are their stories? (Maybe one could be the Tiger? or the Champion? or the Falcon? or Duncan's Hammer?) Is Sol visible from Eternia?  How do these tie into Eternian myth/history?

 

The space corridors, one of the really useful plot devices that...could have been used to send a young astronaut home? Is there one that can reach Earth? Pretty open here.  Or is there a reason the Sorceress never offers that up?

 

I am a Man-At-Arms/Sorceress shipper.

 

I have seen Revelations and Revolution but not the reboot, so if you want to play on that I am in.  Obviously the space machine would be more of a probe than a rover, but that is Opportunity focused.  I'm good with something more introspective/romantic with the constellations one, and I would enjoy seeing Marlena get a message from home or even the chance to visit.

WB: Future Pike's Doomed Timeline (ST: SNW)

La'an Noonien-Singh (SNW)

Luq (SNW) James T. Kirk (SNW)

Number One | Una Chin-Riley (SNW)

 

All characters do not need to appear.

 

1. Space Superstitions - I am totally here for whatever superstition/urban legend you want to recast IN SPACE.

 

2. Future Pike's Doomed Timeline - So what happens there, tell me about it!

 

 3. The Forest in the Domes - Tell me more

 

4. Kalar - How do things change now that everyone doesn't lose their memories every night?

 

5. Colony Welfare checks - Are they in trouble? Have they become trouble?

 

So I am a huge James/La’an shipper.  I didn’t expect to like them so much but believe me, I do.

 

I am also a serious Pike/Number One shipper so feel free to work that on in!

 

For space superstitions, I’m totally in on ghost ships, Flying Dutchman, eerie abandoned places, places that aren’t really there, vanishing hitchhikers, reverse phantom hitchhikers, Room for One More.

 

The doomed timeline – if you want to look at how Kirk’s adventures would have gone differently with Pike and crew in charge, be my guest.  In my head SNW is starting its own continuity.  Maybe let’s not kill people off though…especially Spock?  James/La’an could be a thing here as well?  Will not complain.

 

For the forest in the domes, what is it like?  Do people go on leave there?  Is forest a simplification and they have other environments, like jungles and desert as well? 

 

Kalar – Does a crew ever get a chance to go back and check on them?  It would be awesome if La’an and M’Benga were part of THAT.  Does Luq regain his rightful role as leader because it’s written in every line of him.  Or just, how does their society gradually adapt?  Might having memories be as disturbing as having none?  Sounds like a recipe for severely messed up dreams.

 

Colony Welfare Checks – TBH, I love these.  I am here for the colony needs a rescue.  I am here for the colony is shady AF.  I am here for pollen that makes everyone stupidly happy.  Maybe they even go to rescue a Klingon colony?

 

Of all the new Trek things, this is my favorite. I love La'an way more than I thought I would, especially with Kirk.

 

I'm current on Season 2, and very interested in Season 2 specific stories! Especially what happens after To Be Continued. WHAT DO YOU MEAN “TO BE CONTINUED”?

 

I am personally on the SNW doesn’t have to lead to our TOS train – I am totally okay with assuming it spins out/plays out differently. If you want to get inspired by TOS episodes, go right ahead.

 

La'an/James: AU or continuation of what we’ve seen – after all we know Carol and Kirk don’t work out…. I lean towards the AU though. Interested in seeing how his Tarsus 4 background plays in. What Happened in the Alternate Timeline before S1E10 would also be a great place for La’an and James to hook up again…

 

Pike/Una:  I ship these two so hard.  I am a lifelong shipper for these two.  Hook me up with something good – sweet and/or sexy!  I’ve been a Pike/Number One shipper since the first time I saw The Cage (in the 90s, I think) and I want to see how these two would play it.  I’m totally here for an AU after the comet episode (they’re so close why didn’t you kiss?). They need a clue brick.

 

So let’s talk about Season 2 peeps!  The Hippocratic Oath is fuzzy on the subject of kneecaps and throats!  Yay Una is back!  No, they’re still pushing the Pike/Batel thing (I am not into it, it is not my thing, why does she never eat the fabulous food?). La’an and star-crossed doomed time-travel love.  I fly the ship (on Alpha shift).  Why is Spock eating bacon?  Why is Sam Kirk suddenly missing from the cleanest science lab in history? We finally meet the real Kirk!  Kirk meets Spock (and Uhura doesn’t know this is her life for the next 50 years).  Cartoon crossover!  M’Benga gets away with murder (and can we please leave the PTSD crew ALONE?). All systems stable!  Why are we singing?  Who’s going to be Gorn chow?  WHAT DO YOU MEAN “TO BE CONTINUED”?

 

Just inject it into my veins. After sitting out several of the newer shows, I dove into this one and please just give me more more more. I think the things I REALLY want to know is, what all was happening in that alternate timeline before we got dropped into it.

 

I really love this new show, although I am wondering about continuity but NOT REALLY CARING I LOVE THIS CREW.

 

So this is obviously the one I have the most thoughts on, but don’t feel weird if we didn’t match on it.  I’ve been creating for this one quite a bit lately, so it’s just on my mind more.
