primeideal Dear Creator,
Hello! I am also primeideal on Ao3, and I am requesting fic and in-universe meta for all fandoms. Anything involving the requested tags/characters will be wonderful, so feel free to use as little or as much of this as is helpful. Treats are enabled on my Ao3 account.
Clue
(any characters)
How Clue-Sharing Works; Logistics of Finding the Culprit to Be Yourself
Anything to do with the absurdity of this situation! For "finding the culprit to be yourself"--Professor Plum commited the crime and forgot about it? The suspects are just unreliable narrators, or they're not willing to confess but they're too honorable to dispute something that's logically proven? "Clue-sharing"--are they honor-bound to share any evidence that could lead to a solution, or are they just happy to poke holes in someone else's ability? Why does turn order matter?
Feel free to bring in anything else from the game (secret passages? roll-and-move rules? the weirdness of getting to form a hypothesis after you've been teleported somewhere?), I just thought these tags were the most over-the-top delightful!
Farscape
(Moya, Pilot, any/no characters, OCs)
Moya communicating with the crew
To what extent are Moya's mishaps/health issues normal for Leviathans, versus a consequence of Peacekeeper captivity, versus having all these weird aliens aboard? What does she think of some of the shenanigans they get up to? How do the DRDs fit into this--are they more individuals, extensions of Moya's body, something in between? What about Pilot--what happens when they disagree? How do they come to an understanding? Or are they by now more the same person than different?
Pilot and Leviathan evolution
Pilots appear to be born on a planet where they exist independently from Leviathans. Leviathans were created (?) by the godlike species from the "Princess" trilogy. Bonding can potentially cost Pilots centuries of their lives, but at least some of them feel like it's worth it to see the stars. How does any of this work from an evolutionary perspective?
Goblin Emperor
(Habrobar; any/no characters, OCs)
Habrobar's people
He's tiny, he's gray, he's been making signet rings for five hundred years. What is his deal?! Where are his people from, or do they not have a specific homeland? What brought him to the Ethuveraz? What has his POV been about elvish politics through the centuries, or outsider POVs on him?
Hellspark
(Maggy; any/no characters, OCs)
Sentient computers
I think it's sweet, and fitting, that a story about first contact and trying to determine whether the sprookjes are sentient turns into a story about the first computer being recognized as sentient! More about Maggy learning language, how she's childlike in some ways but adult in others, forming (mis)conceptions through her books? Experiencing physicality between the ship and the spider body, since she isn't limited to being in one place? How does she mentor the upcoming generation of extrapolative computers, and how do they see her?

Again, please don't feel limited to this, anything related to these topics would be great. Thank you very much!

I have many previous dear author letters from which much of this is copied, pasted, and endlessly rewritten. I've written/blogged more heavily about several of these fandoms than others at times, but I would be equally delighted with a gift for any of them.
General Likes:
-canon-divergence AUs
-five things
-dialogue
-wit and wordplay
-nonstandard formats (documentation, epistolary, etc.)
-happy endings
-sad endings (character death, melodrama, heartbreak!)
General DNWs:
-explicit on-screen sex (fade-to-black or innuendo is fine)
-underage characters having sex
-rape/noncon
-moralizing/didactic stories (characters Learning An Important Lesson about the value of tolerance, etc.)
-non-canonical allegories of current events and/or contemporary politics
-character bashing
