‘allo!
Welcome, Wondrous Worldbuilding Author of Awesomeness to my exchange letter!
Follow are a restating (from my sign-up, for the benefit of any Tremendously Terrific Treaters there may be out there) of my DNWs (including fandom-specific ones) and DWWs (Definitely Would Wants a.k.a. Likes) and then… prrrompts!
And some general Goodness:
🌟 I have signed up for / am opting in for extra treats!
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
No Thank Yous or DNWs
🌟 No bashing of any character or species - especially the ones that look less like humans
🌟 Uncalled-out speciesism/racism, sexism, etc..
🌟 Uncalled-out discrimination or other hate on the basis of magickal or psychic ability.
🌟 Animal abuse or death
🌟 Calling animals ‘it’. Calling nonhumans 'it' unless they do so themselves as a specific designation.
🌟 Crack not treated seriously.
🌟 A/B/O | PWP | dubcon/noncon
🌟 Hurt without Comfort
🌟 Angst without a Happy Ending
🌟 Hopeless or Unhappy Endings (for this moment, prefer no bittersweet, tho’ that’s negotiable)
🌟 Bullying | Embarrassment | Humiliation
🌟 Horror | Gore
🌟 Uncalled-out Othering
🌟 Forcing yourself to write a story that is not you/that you’re not thrilled about writing.
💙 🌟 💙
Loves or DWWs (Definitely Would Want)

🌟 Found Families
🌟 Loyalty
🌟 Character-driven stories
🌟 Animal characters and non-humans being referred to as ‘they’ or gendered or their chosen pronouns, as appropriate
🌟 Standing Up/Speaking Out – for self, for others
🌟 Successfull calling out of things like speciesism, racism, other isms.
🌟 Slash that emphasizes emotions over sex.
🌟 Hurt WITH Comfort – heavy on the comfort is even better!
🌟 Angst WITH a happy ending!
🌟 Happy Endings period!!!!
🌟 Worldbuilding
🌟 Cross-species interactions working well and working out well
🌟 Writing me the story that calls to you!
🌟 🌟 🌟
Again, the story I will enjoy the most is the one that Calls to you the most. So, mind the basic DNWs and have at it!
Chirp, chirp!

Prrrompts!!!!
Here are prrrompts for the various Requests for this year.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (23) ↑
💚 🍀 💚
• WB: Attempts to make station more comfortable / less of a tacky eyesore (SW DS9) - Elim Garak, Keiko O’Brien, Tora Ziyal, Miles O’Brien
Possible Prrrrompt: How would these four take on the task? Each are artists in their own way – with fabric, with plants, with art, with machines and things. Would they work together, separately, or purrhaps a bit of both? What projects would they attempt? How would that work out?
Logs of projects – either official or personal – as well as fic could be most amusing.
💚 🍀 💚
• WB: Different economics systems of DS9 (Federation/Bajoran/Ferengi/Etc) (SW DS9) – Elim Garak, Tora Ziyal
Possible Prrrompt: As Cardassians, Garak and Ziyal are not part of the Federation’s ‘post-scarcity’ economic system. How does this affect them? What do they do to cope? How does it affect their artistry?
I can see some sort of paper on ‘The Effects of Non-Federation Economic Systems on Cardassian Artistry’ working wondrous-well, as well as story showing either one or both of them bumping into those sometimes hard edges between economic systems.
💚 🍀 💚
• WB: Rebuilding after the Dominion War (SW DS9) – Elim Garak, Keiko O’Brien, Miles O’Brien
Possible Prrrompt: What do they do to help rebuild? How do they help in the process? How do they hinder? Why?
Personal logs or fic would both work wondrous-well.
💚 🍀 💚
• WB: The home front during the Dominion War (SW DS9) – Elim Garak, Julian Bashir, Keiko O’Brien, Miles O’Brien
Possible Prrrompt: What it’s like for these four? Some of this we see in canon (tho’ PLEASE feel free to throw canon out the nearest airlock if you feel drawn to do so – I certainly shall not mind), but I’d love to know more.
Together? Separately? A bit of both?
Personal logs or fic would be a wondrous window on their worlds.
💚 🍀 💚
• WB: The home front during the Dominion War (SW DS9) - Original Cardassian characters
• WB: Rebuilding after the Dominion War (SW DS9
Possible Prrrompt: What it’s like for the common folk on Cardassia? The artists? The dissidents? This prrrompt is a place for Original Characters to shine!
💚 🌻 💚
Beauty and the Beast (Disney Animated Movies) (9) ↑
◦ WB: the Beast's library (Beauty and the Beast Disney) – Beast, Belle, The Enchantress, Lumiere, Original Character(s)
Possible Prrompts: How did each of them affect the Library? Is Lumiere allowed in, being a candlestick in this form, often lit? How did the Enchantress make the Library when she made the Castle? What happens to the Library after the reversion-to-normal-forms? Is there a Librarian in the Library? If so, what are they like?
💚 🍀 💚
◦ WB: the enchanted mirror (Beauty and the Beast Disney) - The Enchantress
◦ WB: the stained glass windows in the Beast's castle (Beauty and the Beast Disney)
Possible Prrrompts: What is The Enchantress’ relationship to glass when it comes to her magick? How is she able to enchant the glass? Do the windows have any special magick to them – and why?
💚 🌻 💚
Chalice - Robin McKinley (5) ↑
1. WB: City dwellers' perception of demesne life (Chalice)
2. WB: Political structure (chalice)
3. WB: Role of Talisman (Chalice)
Possible Prrrompts: Tell me more of this world. That’s it. That’s the prrrompt. Either fic or meta as it pleases you.
I can see some sort of reference material like the books Chalice uses for research in the book. I can see fic about these topics. As long as I see more of this world, I shall be a Happy Bird.
💚 🌻 💚
Original Work - Fantasy (21) ↑
• Creator of magical conlangs (OW - Fantasy)
• Linguist of magical languages (OW - Fantasy)
• WB: Magical conlangs (OW - Fantasy)
• WB: Magical Crystals (OW- Fantasy)
• WB: Magical languages (OW - Fantasy)
• WB: Divination (OW – Fantasy)
Possible Prrrompts: Tell me of magickal languages. The whos, the whats, the wherefores, and the whys. A paper on the topics of magickal languages/magick crystals/divination? A story of wrassling with magickal languages in some form? Magick crystals as data storage for magickal languages? How magickal languages are used for divination?
💚 🍀 💚
• Gardener growing flowers for magic (OW Fantasy)
• WB: Divination (OW – Fantasy)
• WB: Flowers used in magic (OW - Fantasy)
• WB: Haunted Forests (Original Work - Fantasy)
• WB: Magical Crystals (OW- Fantasy)
Possible Prrrompts: Are haunted forests a good place to find flowers for magick? Why or why not? How are flowers used in divination? Does growing flowers near magickal crystals help as far as making the flowers suitable for magick? What do you need to know to be a good gardener of flowers for magick? A treatise on any of these or a fic showing the ups and downs of growing flowers for magick would be loverly!
