Dear SW Rares Creator
Sorry this took a while to get up (doubly so if we matched on something I haven't requested before), it's been A Week. Anyway, don't stress too much about anything I've written here, this is mostly so you can get a (non-exhaustive!) idea of stuff what I like.
General Likes:
- humour
- banter
- happy/hopeful/sweeter-side-of-bittersweet endings
- characters reacting to absurd situations with complete seriousness and sincerity
- smut! :D :D :D
- cheerfully agressive/rough sex (espec. with underlying affection)
- fighting as foreplay
- foeyay with powerstruggles
- informal/playful kink
- fail!sex that somehow still ends up enjoyable for the particpants
- sex pollen
- competence kink
- canon-divergent AUs
- playing with structure (eg, 5 things, epistory fic)
- character studies
- inappropriate use of the Force XD
DNWs: overwhelming angst, unrelenting darkness, downer endings, issuefic, identity headcanons, deathfic, rape as drama/backstory, non-canon child abuse, tropey AUs, mundane AUs, bodily fluids, "formalised" kink/BDSM, humiliation, detailed gore/torture/maimings/etc, present tense, explicit underage (implicit is more than fine)
Art-specific Likes:
- In terms of art styles I like, a non-exhaustive list of webcomics where I've really enjoyed the art includes: Lovelace & Babbage, Girl Genius, The Adventures of Superhero Girl (and Faith Erin Hicks's style in general), Tigress Queen, Oglaf (so very NFSW), Stand Still, Stay Silent, Tj & Amal (also sometimes so very NSFW), (ETA: oh and Digger, knew I was forgetting at least one).
- As far as more 'real world' art goes I really like the aesthetics of the pre-raphaelites, art nouveau, Japanese ukiyo-e (the landscapes more than the figurative), 50s pulp covers, concept art (especially stuff like Matt Rhodes BioWare stuff), DA:I tarot cards...my tastes are eclectic.
- If it's at all relevant, my favourite take on Aphra in the comics so far is Kev Walker's.
- Buff women. Yes.
Art-specific DNWs: "x-ray"-porn, over-exaggerated breasts/genitals, guro
Lana Beniko/Theron Shan
Fanart, Fanfic
Besties who bang. Or maybe frenemies who bang. Or tentative allies who bang. Or 'it's complicated' who...you get the idea.
DNW: character death, non-con, unrequested ships, explicit underage, bodily fluids
Yeah, so, if you've read my previous exchange letters, I kind of ship these two a lot. I'm super invested in their friendship, and can see a lot of ways that friendship could because something moreno, seriously, I have a list.
Which means I am down for just about anything, get together fic, established relationship, sex pollen, tropey goodness with fake dating, huddling for warmth, role reversal AUs, canon divergence AUs.
Just about the only things I wouldn't be down for is 'woe the PC is not interested so I guess you'll do', or kidfic. And a big, Vader-esque no on going with Dark Side choices for Nathema Conspiracy. Just in case it needed to be said.
Arty prompts:
- being very comfortable in each other's space in a non-sexual way, so falling asleep on each other's shoulders, using the other's lap as a pillow, or back as a writing surface
- Strippoker sabaac! (Theron had to learn what a self-satifised SIth looked like somehow)
- wardrobe swap! (accidental or otherwise)
- "I thought you passed out on the dance floor" Theron's dance moves and Lana's reactions to them
Garik "Face" Loran/Theron Shan
Fanfic
Ridiculous spyboys! Being ridiculous! And pretty! And covering their deep seated issues and trauma with smart-assery.
DNW: character death, non-con, unrequested ships, explicit underage, bodily fluids
So Face is one of my longtime Legends-only faves, and Theron is only pipped at the post for being my SWTOR fave, and I realised I had two smart-arse, often ridiculous spy-boys, who don't always do a good job of lying to themselves about their issues and it would be a lot of fun to throw them at each other and see what shenanigans ensued.
So, yes, hijinks, the more convoluted and 'it made perfect sense at the time' the better. Come up with a wacky explanation for how they meet despite the time-gap! Or don't explain it at all!
(And completely and utterly optional, but I also realised I'd be down for a Face/Theron/Lana variation about five minutes too late to nominate so if you want to throw her in the mix too, feel free. But only if you're feeling it.)
Chelli Lona Aphra/Ahsoka Tano
Fanart, Fanfic
There'sso many ways no way this could possibly go wrong!
DNW: character death, non-con, unrequested ships, explicit underage, bodily fluids
Look, this is a pair that just does it for me, as much because of the potential trainwreck as despite it. Tall, authoritative women clearly do it for Aphra, and the Vader connection is a ticking bomb. Maybe Ahsoka would even be able to get Aphra to listen to her when it came to bad ideas...but probably not.
It's not theory I really go in for wrt canon but the idea of Force-sensitive Aphra would be a hilarious thing to throw in here.
To clarify on the DNWs, I am totally cool with references to past Aphra/Sana or Aphra/Tolvan, just don't focus on it (or do anything horrible to either of them), likewise references to canon character death is fine.
Arty prompts:
- Aphra being properly appreciative of tall, buff Togruta women
- "Sign my action figure? Pls?"
- Trying to hide from Vader...behind Ahsoka.
Chelli Lona Aphra/Sabine Wren
Fanfic
It's like a trainwreck. A sexy, sexy trainwreck. With explosions.
DNW: character death, non-con, unrequested ships, explicit underage, bodily fluids
Yeah, so this one of those pairings that'd I never considered before I saw it in the tagset, but it just makes so much sense. Terrible, terrible sense. Especially when you ship Aphra/Terrible Life Choices, which I do.
Aphra likes deadly weapons, Sabine made deadly weapons! They both like explosions! Aphra could appreciate Sabine's art! They could fall out horribly over politics!
Again, wrt the DNWs, I am totally cool with references to past Aphra/Sana or Aphra/Tolvan, just don't focus on it (or do anything horrible to either of them), likewise references to canon character death is fine.
