Dear Not Prime Time Writer
Hi, thanks for writing for me! Here's some information that might help.
Likes: Friendship, family relationships, romance, humour, hurt/comfort, fluff, happy endings, episode tags/missing scenes, character exploration, characters being casually gay/bi, telepathy/empathy, fake relationship, accidental marriage, time travel, AUs that cross over with the canon universe, all of gen, slash, het, and femslash
Dislikes: Non-con, abuse, major character death (unless it's canon), character bashing, possessiveness/jealousy, infidelity, threesomes, asexual/aromantic headcanons, genderswap, pregnancy and parenthood, first and second person POV, explicit sex
Neutral: Past/present tense, the appearance of non-nominated/requested characters, OCs, background relationships (as long as they don't conflict with the ones listed below)
Fandoms:
Red Dwarf (Lister, Rimmer, Cat, Kryten)
I've loved this show since I was about nine and most of the jokes went over my head. The series 3-6 era is my favourite, but I've seen all the episodes so feel free to set it later on or include stuff from the later series if you want.
I'd mostly like to see something a bit like an episode - where they explore some strange planet/ship/swirly thing and shenanigans ensue. If you want to include a ship I tend towards Rimmer/Lister (and I imagine Cat and Kryten's reaction would be hilarious), but I'm more than fine with gen.
I couldn't include Holly, but I love both versions, so if you want to include him/her in the fic go right ahead.
Star Trek TNG (Riker, Troi, Data)
I ship Riker/Troi, so I'd love to see them being all romantic together, but I also like their friendship, and the way they tease each other and clearly care about each other even when they're not dating. I'd like to see them going on shore leave, or spending time in the holodeck, or playing poker with their friends, or just hanging out together, shippy or gen. Or something exploring their history together before they started working on the Enterprise could be cool too.
For Data, I'd be interested in something exploring his perspective on the world, and his struggle to become more human. I also like his friendships with the other characters (Geordi, Troi, Picard, etc.), and his relationship with his cat Spot. I don't ship him with anyone, so I'd prefer gen.
For this fandom, I'm fine if you don't include all three characters.
Star Trek TOS (Kirk, Spock)
I'd prefer gen friendship fic, just because it's rarer, but I'm more than fine with slash.
For gen, I like fic that reads like an episode or deals with the aftermath of one or more canon episodes. I also like hurt/comfort, especially the kind where they're stuck somewhere alone and have to keep each other alive until help comes. (For the record, since the fandom has arguments about it, I take Vulcan body temperature as higher than human.) And I absolutely love references to them sharing some kind of mental link/being able to tell when the other is in danger.
For slash, I like established relationship fic, especially stuff set during the movies when they're older. Adventures during the second/third five-year mission? Shore leave/vacation together (or with the rest of the crew)? Celebrating their anniversary? One of them taking care of the other when he's ill? Whatever you want, I'd just love to see more old married couple fic.
I'd also love pretty much any AU for these two. Canon divergence AU, Superpowers/Magic AU, Fusion AU, Modern AU, High School AU, Sports/Dance/Music AU, Supernatural creature AU.... There just aren't enough weird AUs in this fandom, if you ask me.
(Also, kind of random, but if you include Gary Mitchell please don't have him be a total asshole. It's a pet peeve.)
Star Trek TOS (Saavik)
I find Saavik fascinating, and wish there was more fic about her. I'd love to see something exploring her time at the academy, or her (platonic) relationship with Spock, or what she did after we last saw her in The Voyage Home. I also like romance, and would love a Saavik/David Marcus or Saavik/OFC femslash fic, but I'd be totally thrilled with gen too.
The Wrath of Khan novelisation is my headcanon for her background (i.e. that she's half-Romulan and Spock rescued her as a child), so while you don't have to mention it, I'd prefer a fic that doesn't contradict that. See Memory Beta here for more information.
Thanks again!
