primeideal: Shogo Kawada from Battle Royale film (battle royale)
[personal profile] primeideal
Dear Creator,

Hello! Thank you very much for writing/mapping/documenting/plotting/whatever-ing for me! I'm also primeideal on Ao3.

I would be happy with either more typical fanworks or basically any kind of in-universe documentation for any of these fandoms and characters, so consider these prompts very much a starting point, and feel free to mix and match. If you have an idea that fits with my opt-ins, go wild!

My dear author tag has more examples of tropes and prompts that I'm into, although some of these are characters/ships that I'm prompting for the first time.

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 (in "normal" fic, fine with it in IF or similar!)
-character or religion bashing
-cliffhanger endings
-themes of cynicism or futility, or that the (canon's) main plotlines "are for nothing"
 
Animorphs

I love the glimpses of all kinds of diverse alien species, crazy timeline shenanigans, and the themes of hope even in the midst of terrible struggle. For this fandom, I'm happy with fix-its as well as "rocks fall, everyone dies," but I'm not interested in cliffhangers or "both sides are equally terrible" posturing.

Worldbuilding

Ax & Elfangor: growing up in Elfangor's shadow and resenting it? Coming to terms with Elfangor's legacy (and/or hirac delest?) post-canon? Not understanding weird human habits Elfangor picked up?

Aftran & Cassie: how would anything post-29 have been different if Aftran had stayed either in Cassie or elsewhere in the human world? How does Aftran decide who to trust in the Peace Movement with the Animorphs' secret? One of the "canon AUs" (the 41 dystopia, time travel stuff) if Aftran had been there?

Ax & Tobias: Ax's misunderstandings about human culture? Tobias visits the Andalite homeworld with Ax post-canon? Some human developments encroach on the scoop and they have to move?

Marco/Rachel: I'm intrigued by the idea that Marco's feelings for her are more serious than he lets on but he hides them because he's "the funny one" and because she and Tobias are good for each other. One-sided attraction? More from the Megamorphs 4 AU but without the weird timeline-breaking aspects? One day the banter just goes too far?

Rachel/Tobias: outsider POV on "who's that kid Rachel is dancing with, didn't he used to be in our class"? Tobias has to interact with Rachel's dad or sisters and is flustered? AU where Rachel survives but they're both struggling to pick up the pieces?

Worldbuilding: what changes (or doesn't) in the human world after the invasion is revealed? Anything expanding on alien culture and society, main characters or otherwise? More about the canon-AU worlds?

Alternate-medium ideas:
-declassified documents from the Yeerk or Andalite militaries
-language stuff! How does Galard work? What about the Hork-Bajir mishmashes?
-the terms of the Ellimist and Crayak's "games" as if they were a legal document or RPG rulebook

Battle Royale

I enjoy the broad mix of characters and the hopeful themes even in a setting where everyone is trying to kill each other. Feel free to bring in characterization from other continuities, although I'm not as interested in the manga (translation)'s themes of "this is bread and circuses and you should feel bad for spectating, womp womp." Please no sequel-movie, though.

Noriko and/or Shuya and/or Shinji and/or Shogo and/or the Resistance and/or Class 3-B (there's a lot of potential for overlap here):
-one of the main characters betrays the other(s)
-Shogo seems to lie to Noriko so she doesn't feel responsible for Kazuo's death. Is he being paternalistic or admiring her innocence? Both? Tell me more about their friendship.
-Shinji's bomb works, and he, Shuya, and Noriko meet up with his uncle and go underground
-something goes wrong before the Program even starts (maybe the administrators realized that Shogo could hack the collars?) and some/all of the class is thrust into a war
-Noriko and Shuya reach freedom and try to adapt to their new life. Do they want to use their fame to denounce the dictatorship, or just try to have some semblance of normalcy?
-before the program, Noriko is crushing on Shuya and he's just like "eh, I think Yoshi likes her." Maybe alternate point of views? Shinji's like "man, I'm glad I'm not that silly," Shogo is like "why am I stuck with these literal children..."

Shogo/Keiko: anything about their first program! Feel free to blend any of the continuities--in the book-verse, what was their relationship or lack thereof really like, and how has it changed in Shogo's memories/attempts to manipulate Shuya, Noriko, the adults, others? I'm very intrigued by the movie flashback, and in particular, the implications that Keiko might have been manipulating Shogo into killing her, so something that explores that angle would be great. But I'm interested in anything about the Kobe class/program!

Sakura/Kazuhiko: what if they had gotten separated--would they have struggled to reunite or given up? Could anything have convinced them to play? Does Kaz admire Sakura's pacifism or resent it?

Mizuho: more from her perspective, seeing the conflict as part of her fantasy? Her relationships with other students before the Program? What if she had teamed up with someone else?

Worldbuilding: other changes in this alternate history now that Japan is an isolationist dystopia? What does the rest of the world think? How did so much change and yet Bruce Springsteen was still in the right place to write "Born to Run"?

Alternate medium prompts:
IF--different students' perspectives? Different ways people could have lived or died? Different ways to get randomly screwed over?
Social media--Shogo and/or Noriko make it to the free world and wind up doing some kind of "I survived Battle Royale, ask me anything"
Documentation--history worldbuilding snippets. I'm not kidding about the Springsteen!

I love the worldbuilding of noir Los Angeles and all the hints of the larger universe these characters are in. I love replicants and the ways they struggle to assert their own personhood. I love the respect and admiration among all these weird characters, even (and especially) when they're trying to kill each other.

General fic ideas:
Rick/Rachael: How did they figure out she was different? What if she had lived--would she have tried to reunite with Rick, or go underground with Ana? Her perspective on the events of the original--why does she kill Leon? What makes her trust Rick?
Roy, Leon, Pris, & Zhora: deciding to rebel? What if some or any of them had lived and met the Nexus-8s? Do other replicants view them as heroes or idiots, or some of each?
Freysa, Sapper, & Rachael: their life in hiding? Were there philosophical disagreements, or were they all just as gung-ho about revolution as Freysa? Does not knowing she was a replicant for a while make Rachael approach things differently than the others?
Joshi/Luv: stoic fighting women gritting it out while trying to kill each other...look, I ship it. They clash on opposite sides of some other case? They cross paths and are attracted to each other before they realize each other's identities? They get turned on by violence in a slightly less deadly way? Or equally deadly whatever works.
K/Luv: comparisons and contrasts! K is the LAPD's reliable cop, Luv is Wallace's obedient sidekick, but neither of them are totally satisfied with it. Do they try to recruit each other for clandestine operations? Reluctantly save each other's life (like Luv with the drone attack)? Or find their own path away from the institutions? Like Joshi/Luv, I find the violence/conflict to be part of the allure, so feel free to go dark (but please no non-con).
K/Mariette: what motivates Mariette to join the rebellion--is she an idealist, looking for adventure, bored? Does she find any of that with K? Trying to convince K that she's more interesting than Joi? K isn't used to having someone who cares about him just for himself and is charmed?
Worldbuilding: how does the baseline test work for others, or the Voight-Kampff? What's going on in the colonies? We've seen what Los Angeles looks like both in 2019 and 2049, how are the other parts of the world faring? Tell me about Cityspeak, the creole!

Other medium ideas
-Police records of the wanted replicants. What the LAPD has concluded, what they don't know.
-Technical specs/outlines for how the Tyrell and/or Wallace Corporations create replicants. What parts of the process have changed, what is the same? How does Ana create memories?
-if you want to go meta, in-universe speculation about whether Deckard is a replicant, playing up the differences between the different cuts

Chess

Anatoly/Florence
Anatoly & Florence
Florence & Gregor
The Arbiter
Viigand

There are countless variations between productions and plotlines (life imitating art) but I see that as a feature, not a bug--feel free to borrow from any version, or smash them all together. I enjoy chess on its own without the musical context, so any allusions to the board game and/or its weird RL history would be welcomed but not required. Please no Freddie/Florence as a romantic partnership.

General fic ideas:

-Anatoly & or / Florence: their time together between acts (brief or not-so-brief, depending on the production). What if they hadn't been in love, but he still wanted to defect and she was mostly helping him for the political reasons? Do they reconnect after the fall of Communism?

-Florence & Gregor: reuniting after the Cold War (or maybe after the play, again depending on the production?)? Stuff he taught her about chess and/or life growing up? News of the outside world occasionally reaches him, he realizes (or not) Florence's connections and growing importance in the chess world?

-The Arbiter and/or Viigand: I feel like these guys are both like "I'm here for chess because chess is serious business, why is everything on fire." I'm intrigued by the Arbiter's "I don't like women, I don't take dope" line--did the KGB have a plan B or C or Z for bribing him? What does he think of Freddie's "One Night in Bangkok" opinions? How did Viigand and Anatoly meet, and how did Molokov prepare Viigand to face his former colleague/rival? Do they commiserate about "everyone else is crazy," or is the Arbiter too concerned about remaining impartial? Do they run across any of the other characters afterwards?

Alternate medium ideas:
-something making fun of all the different continuities? I feel like this could be a good basis for an interactive/choose your own adventure type of fanwork.
-frivolous or serious complaints that the Arbiter had to deal with, and his frivolous or serious responses
-paperwork related to passports, immigration, defection, etc. (Embassy Lament!)

This fandom can be pretty much whatever, so feel free to go wild! I'm not super into the animals angle, but if you wanted to do something based on the "shipwrecked space travelers" or "post-apocalyptic Iron Age civilization" tags that were also nominated, feel free. Also, I think this lends itself well to crossovers, so if you feel like writing characters from an existing fandom I've requested here or elsewhere in this kind of a setting, go for it.

General fic ideas:
-more about the expedition from the Sandia Labs story of Cindy, Jo, Linda, and Steve
-an old superstition/cult belief is proven right, people are not happy about it
-maybe radiation is actually good for an alien species, and they're seeking it out without knowing why the humans seem so paranoid?

Alternate medium ideas:
-letters from an explorer, first optimistic and then nervous about what they're finding
-texts from a religion that's grown up around the cursed grounds
-pretentious academic essays speculating about what's going on

Crossovers:
Mike (Pitch)/Rachel (Animorphs)

Opt-ins:

I feel like the Animorphs' hometown is plausibly San Diego, Mike used to be married to a sports journalist named Rachel in San Diego...if you screw with the timelines enough, it could happen. Feel free to weave in any other characters from either fandom. And having them break-up or divorce is fine too, as long as they are or were together for part of the narrative.

General fic ideas:

-They're each used to being the center of attention and it's a nice break when the spotlight is on their partner instead
-People give Mike a hard time when Ginny steals the spotlight and Rachel is just like "it's about time"
-Rachel starts dating Mike as a rebound from Tobias/to get away from the war and is surprised when real feelings develop

In-universe document ideas:
-Fan mail to either or both of them
-Social media speculation about "are they really together??"'
-if you want to have Rachel Patrick be a different character from Animorphs Rachel, a broadcast/news report the former puts on about "oh man my ex Has A Type"

Burr (Hamilton) & Rosencrantz & Guildenstern (Stoppard)

I feel like with Burr's role as "narrator," he would get on either amazingly or terribly with these guys' metafictional nature/fourth wall nonsense. All the theater shenanigans! Again, feel free to bring in any other characters from either fandom.

Opt-Ins:
Any In-Universe Documents That Fit the Canon Setting
Poetry--Sonnet
Theater--Musical
Theater--Play
Theater--Shakespearean

General fic ideas:

-Burr regrets killing Hamilton and R&G are like "well, we're all on endless loops anyway"
-groundless speculation about the other canon's romantic relationships"
-"Macbeth" is a work of fiction in the "Hamilton" universe so probably "Hamlet" is too, maybe Burr namedrops it and R&G are confused?

Alternate medium ideas:
-Rosencrantz and Guildenstern write in iambic pentameter, Burr thinks they sound very old-fashioned...
-...and/or Burr does hip-hop, the others are like "kids these days"
-"Hamilton" does a lot of cool stuff with passing papers around (Reynolds' blackmail letter, Alexander's letters to Eliza, Jefferson's resignation) so maybe something that riffs on that?

---

Again, there are so many great mediums and character dynamics that I could go on all day, so please don't feel limited by this. Thanks for creating for me!
