primeideal: Shogo Kawada from Battle Royale film (battle royale)
Dear AUthor,
 
Thank you so much for writing for me! I'm requesting fic for all prompts. I'm also primeideal on Ao3.
 
I think some of these tags are prompts in themselves, so I haven't elaborated on all of them. Please free to use as much or as little as is helpful, mix and match, etc.
 
I have some previous Dear Author letters where I've talked more about some of these fandoms and characters. Though I've written more about some than others, I'd be very happy with a gift for any of them here!
 
General likes
-canon-divergence AUs
-five things
-worldbuilding
-dialogue
-wit and wordplay
-nonstandard formats (documentation, epistolary, etc.)
-time travel
-happy endings
-sad endings (when providing some measure of closure or melodrama; I'm fine with character death)
 
General dislikes
-explicit sex
-underage sex
-rape/noncon
-issue-fic
-second person POV
-character or religion bashing
-cliffhanger endings
-themes of cynicism or futility, or that the (canon's) main plotlines "are for nothing"

Animorphs: any character (Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, Marco, Ax, Elfangor, Aftran nominated)

ALL: Travel between alternate timelines
ALL: Time loop where character makes things worse before making them better 
ALL: Time Travel 
ALL: Time Loop - looping character forced to watch loved one die repeatedly until loop is broken
ALL: Platonic Soulmate AU
ALL: Characters Aware They Are Fictional
All: Canon Setting But Universe Functions On RPG-style Mechanics Of Hit-Points‚ Leveling-Up‚ Etc. 

For the time-travel ones, feel free to use some of the canonical alternate universes/time travel mechanics, or bring in your own.
Platonic soulmates--maybe it's human tradition for the canonical best friends to have a soulmate mechanics, or maybe it's an alien thing like shorms (Ax and Tobias, Cassie and Aftran?)
Characters aware they are fictional--Marco seems like a good choice here, but it could work for anyone. (Maybe explaining how they intended to "write" the "my name is..." journals as in-character documents?
RPG-style mechanics: could this explain the precision of the two-hour morphing limit or the Yeerks' three-day feeding cycle? Is it introduced by the Ellimist and/or Crayak?

Harry Potter: Regulus & Sirius, Regulus/Hermione
All: with the right postage you can send letters anywhere anywhen
All: Time Travel Fix-It
ALL: Dimension hopping to find a timeline that isn't doomed
All: canon character death didn't happen AU 

Regulus lives! Maybe he escapes the cave and time-travels into the future? Maybe he just communicates with the future via Owl Post? Maybe he goes to Sirius first and they both take different paths?

Myst: Atrus/The Stranger, Atrus/The Stranger + Aitrus
ALL: Characters do fic exchanges 
ALL: Monastery AU
ALL: All libraries are connected
Myst: D'Ni never falls

What do fic exchanges look like in a world where books are literally portals to other worlds? Atrus as a monk doodling in the margins of a manuscript and oops, accidentally created a new age? The D'Ni library connects to Discworld/Harry Potter/some other canon's library? (Feel free to bring in anything I've written/requested.) The Stranger stumbles into D'Ni in its utopian years?

I'd prefer focus on the original game and/or the Books of Atrus and Ti'ana, but any canon you're into is cool.

Star Wars Original Trilogy: Luke & Vader, Luke & Leia & Vader

SW: Luke and Leia raised by Darth Vader 
Crossover: a multiverse-wide conference for young leaders (with Shenanigans) 
ALL: Time Travel 
ALL: Characters do fic exchanges 
ALL: Characters Are Chess Players

Luke & Leia raised by Vader--do they become Sith? Does he have a change of heart earlier in canon? What happens to the Rebellion?
 
If you're intrigued by the crossover prompt, feel free to bring in any other fandom I've requested or written on Ao3.

For time travel, I'm not really interested in the ST for this prompt, but maybe Luke and Leia get sent to the PT, or young Anakin travels to the Empire era, or someone gets caught in a loop?

Fic exchanges: I'd prefer this to be in-universe--Luke is bored on the moisture farm and/or Leia is stressed out with the duties of being a princess, they find pseudonyms a fun way to relax.

Chess players--I could see this either as in-universe dejarik nerds, or RL Vader as the obsessed dad trying to train his twin proteges who may or may not enjoy it.

Wheel of Time:


For this fandom, I have different requests for different characters, so I've split them up.

Egwene, Egwene/Aviendha:

ALL: Soulbonds - Feeling Each Other's Emotions 
ALL: Soulbond Allows Characters To Share Powers/Abilities
ALL: Soulbond Allows Characters To Share Dreams 
ALL: Prophecy subverted/denied/unfulfilled AU 
ALL: last words to soulmate written on the skin
ALL: Characters do fic exchanges 
All: Myst AU
ALL: All libraries are connected

I love Egwene, and I think she and Aviendha would be cute together (learning about ji'e'toh! Rand getting jealous when they give each other gifts!) Exploration of any of the canon-type bond modifications (like Elayne and Birgitte, or Androl and Pevara) in an f/f context would be fun.  Please nothing dub-conny.

Anything where they're less uptight about "oh I must fall in love with so-and-so, because prophecy" would be good. For gen, maybe something where Egwene isn't sure whether the Seanchan attack will occur? Or Elaida is less confident in her victory and cracks down harder on Egwene as a result?

Fic exchanges would be amusing in a White Tower context, I'd love to see all the worldbuilding that would go into their rituals. Ditto for the interconnected libraries--is there someone in another fandom who appreciates the Ninth Depository math books more than Alviarin? (Feel free to bring in any fandom I've written or requested.)

Myst AU--feel free to bring in other canon characters. Maybe Egwene's approach to "ooh, let's investigate" contrasts with Aviendha wanting to solve everything with a spear.

Galad
ALL: requested character is born as a female (genderswap) 
ALL: Always A Girl

Galad's singleminded dedication to doing the "Right Thing" at any cost is neat, and I'd be interested to see how a female version of that character would play out. Would she be the heir of Andor, and if so, go to study at the White Tower? (If you don't want to write Galad-as-heir, feel free to screw around with the timelines.) Can she channel? (Asunawa thinks Galad's use of the "flame and void" focus technique in the duel with Valda is kind of witchcrafty.) Does she join the Children of the Light/some other fanatical group? How does her relationship with Rand play out?

Mat, Mat/Aludra

ALL: Prophecy subverted/denied/unfulfilled AU 
ALL: Character plays a game with Death in exchange for their/somebody else's life 

For the prophecy subverted one, just let Mat have nice things and not feel destined to marry Tuon. Maybe he gets with Aludra, maybe he continues flirting with everyone. Please no Mat/Tylin.

Game with Death--we've already sort of seen this, but maybe there's more of a Grim Reaper type and Mat challenges them to cards or dicing? This could be the canonical encounter with Moiraine, but feel free to bring anyone else in as well.

Again, feel free to use as much or as little as helps. Thank you for writing for me!
