Dear Star Trek Holidays Writer,

Woo-hoot!!!! It is awesome and amazing that you are offering to write for me! Truly, truly, no matter how my prrompts may seem, I will absolutely adore what you write for me if it is the story that Calls to you.

That said, here are my DNWs (Do Not Want) and some DWWs (Definitely Would Want) to start you off.

Will be back with more specific prrrompts laters. [ETA: As of 10-31-22, I finally am beginning to have words for said prrrompts!!!! Watch this space.]

And some general Goodness:
🌟 I have signed up for / am opting in for extra treats!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
 
No Thank Yous or DNWs

🌟 ST-specific – no Cardassian-bashing or 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)

🌟 Competency
🌟 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!
