FFFX Letter
Aug. 11th, 2024 08:38 pm Dear FFFX Writer,
I am so looking forward to participating in this exchange and seeing what you create!
Below are some general likes and DNWs, then my fandom-specific prompts and DNWs.
Likes:
- Character Dynamics
Fandom Specific:
Labyrinth (1986)
Fanart: 1x10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics
Tags: Jareth, Worldbuilding
How did the labyrinth come into existence? Does it predate Jareth? Did he build it? What form does the “certain death” behind the wrong door take?
Who built the robot who guards the gates of the goblin city? The walking cannons? What does their workshop look like? What about the lands outside the labyrinth? How far do they extend? What would happen if you walked away from the labyrinth rather than towards it?
Why are there thirteen hours on goblin clocks? What is the significance of the extra hour? How does the temporal offset affect things between the goblin and mundane realm?
These are just some questions to get started with! I just generally love this film and want to see your thoughts!
Fandom-Specific DNWs: Heavy focus on Jareth/Sara. Background Jareth/Sara is fine if you really want to include it.
The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
Fanart: 1x10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics | Fanfic: 1 x 10,000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5,000-Word Fic
Tags: Murderbot, Asshole Research Transport & Murderbot
I love seeing Murderbot educating/protecting/being proud/reluctantly fond of its humans. There’s a line in one of the books about how all of its humans knew better than to do X in a dangerous situation. Anything about how they built this trust in each other would be lovely!
I’m also happy with OCs exploring the relationships between various types of sentient entity in this universe.
Fandom-Specific DNWs: Any romantic or sexual attraction or relationships for Murderbot.
Persuasion - Jane Austen
Fanart: 1x10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics | Fanfic: 1 x 10,000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5,000-Word Fic
Tags: Anne Elliot/Frederick Wentworth
Other than the DNWs, go wild with this one! Setting swap could be fun! Persuasion in space?
If I’m receiving something in a visual medium, I’d love to see the boat picture that cracks Admiral Croft up. In general, the Crofts are my favorite characters, would love for them to be closely involved.
Fandom-Specific DNWs: Bigotry from POV characters (racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc). Heavy focus on contemporary issues around racism, slavery, etc. These can be present in the story, but I’d prefer they not be the focus of the plot. Tortall - Tamora Pierce
Fanart: 1x10-Page Comic OR 2 x 5-Page Comics | Fanfic: 1 x 10,000-Word Fic OR 2 x 5,000-Word Fic

Would love to see Kel interacting with the Provost’s Guard, or trying to establish a similar investigative force in some place she has authority. Could be set before or after she gains her knighthood.
How does noble authority clash with the guards’? I really like the first two Beka Cooper books, would love to see Kel taking on a Sabine-like role; accounting for the differences in their personalities, of course.
Fandom-Specific DNWs: Heavy focus on Immortals / the Immortals war. They can be present in the background, especially spidren and centaurs, but I’d prefer no dragons, kraken, darklings, etc.
Thank you so much for creating for me. If you have fun creating, then I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with the result! 💜
