fiona15351Dear Worldbuilder,
This is my first time participating in a fic exchange and I am really looking forward to whatever you create! While I have prompts for all the worlds I have requested, I would really just love to know other people's thoughts on these universes. I hope you will find my prompts helpful to spark ideas but I am more than happy to see whatever you are inspired to write!
General Likes and DNWs
I love any form of epistolary fic and in-universe document or legend. For character-driven stories, I enjoy depictions of healthy relationships (sexual/romantic/otherwise) and found family, as well as stories about the resilience and breaking points of friendships and how broken or faded friendships can be rekindled and repaired.
DNW: I list these specifically by fandom. Thanks!
Ladyhawke (1985)
Fanfiction | In-Universe Meta
Requests: Etienne Navarre, Francesco, Captain Marquet, Cezar, Soldiers’ Relationships with Magic and the Church, Navarre’s Sword, Intelligence in Animal Form
I'm particularly interested in Navarre and Isabeau as figures in rumor and legend, as well as how common stories similar to theirs are in the world of the film. For example, has Cezar the trapper dealt with magical/sapient animals before? Is there a general recognition that all animals may not be what they seem? How does this interact with widespread Christianity?
I'm also curious about Navarre's family and personal history, especially his friendship with Francesco.
DNW: Bestiality, Explicit Sex Scenes
Scholomance - Naomi Novik
Fanart | Fanfiction | In-Universe Meta
Requests: Modern Technology and Magic, Malefecaria and Creating and Binding Mals, Artificer Track, Any Artificer(s)
I would be really interested in a work surrounding artifice projects (especially ones integrating modern technology with artifice) or specific variety of malefecaria; maybe in the format of a student homework assignment? This could also make for a really fascinating piece of interactive fiction!
DNW: Photorealistic Gore or Nudity
Sunshine - Robin McKinley
Fanart | Fanfiction | In-Universe Meta
Protective Charms, Bad Spots and Countermeasures, Magical Tattoos, Mel
I was really intrigued by the Special Other Forces vehicles' countermeasures against bad spots, when/how they were developed (during the Voodoo Wars?), and why they sometimes succeed/fail.
I'm also very interested in how protective charms become animated/semi-sentient (?)/eventually corrupted and what the implications of this might be.
Finally, I would love to see designs for/ruminations on magical tattoos. Can temporary or Henna tattoos work the same way?
No DNWs for this fandom, thanks!
Optional Extras
Open to podfic? Yes
Podfic likes: Framing devices, such as an in-universe interview, archivist or police report recording, radio news report, or audio-diary entry. For Ladyhawke specifically: a recording specifically including/emulating Phillipe's habit of directly addressing God could be fun + incorporation of period appropriate (or similar to the film's backing track ;) style music.
Open to vids? Yes
Vid likes: I would really just be thrilled to receive a video for any of the fandoms listed. No extreme gore or nsfw video content please.
Open to IF? Yes
IF likes: I love both parser-based and Choose Your Own Adventure. I enjoy IF where some amount of customization/environment exploration is possible. I really enjoy many Choice of Games as an example, but I would really be happy with anything here as well.
