Dear Space Swap Creator!
Jan. 4th, 2015 04:52 pmThis is for
space_swap, which allows art and vids and stuff this year woo!
Stuff I generally like.
And as relates to this exchange: I love AIs and sentient beings whose experiences are very different from the typical human pov, including space ships, distributed intelligences, aliens, etc. I also love interspecies (or different physical setup) relationships and women taking a scientific approach to romance. Women being into science in general, really. And REVOLUTION.
You don't have to fill any of my specific prompts. If you get inspired for a fandom I know and it seems like my kind of thing, follow your muse.
Mass Effect:
Fic or Art: Pretty much anything shippy involving EDI, Tali and/or Sam would be THE BEST. I also really like F!Shep/Tali and f!Shep/Sam, and am open to f!Shep/EDI if your inspiration tends that way. Gen about these relationships would be fantastic too, especially if it explores Tali's complex and relationship with AI and/or has a lot of science. I'm less interested in Joker by himself but Joker/EDI with an emphasis on her using him as a romantic test subject is great :D I also really like Samara, Thane, Kasumi, and Gianna Parasini.
Vid:
A vid exploring the POV of the different artifical intelligences, and the relationship between machines and organic beings over the millenia. Or just EDI across the games, though I'm not sure you'd have enough material.
Imperial Radch:
Ficwise: First and foremost I'd like a story where things change, preferably for the better, for the indiviidual characters and hopefully also for the world in general. I'd love some background on Anaander Minnai, and some idea of her mental space, anything from her POV or that of Tisarwat. I really love how these books play around with ideas of self, gender, and the body, something that did that would be great, maybe Breq finding herself with multiple bodies again somehow? Ooooh or meeting another Justice of Tohren ancillary who has grown in their own different way into a slightly different person. Or an AU where Awn doesn't die. Or Tisarwat getting connected to the Anaander hivemind again and pushing back. Or Breq's body's original mind somehow showing back up and her dealing with that.
Art: Anything playing around with similar ideas: comparing Tisarwat and Anaander, something about Justice of Tohren's multiple ancillaries etc. Lots of potential for mirroring and symbolism and pretty pictures of space. In as much as any of them have a concept of gender, I generally imagine the characters leaning towards a feminine presentation, but I'm not sure how you'd draw that.
Vid: I guess a constructed version of the world/characters using other sources? Literally anything would be amazing. Filling the gaps with panaoramas of galaxies would be totally fine :D
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika:
Art or Fic: This is a space canon but we never really get to see the space. I'd love to see Homura after the end of the TV show (I haven't seen Rebellion) going into space to take on the aliens. Or just seeing the girls grow up and be amazing as adult women.
Vid: I didn't request this because I can't think of any specific prompts, but if you have an idea you think I'd like this is a really pretty canon and I'm sure I'll love it :)
Some other nominated fandoms I like but can't think of specific requests for: Homestuck, The Culture novels, Babylon 5, Firefly, Futurama, Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor, Trigun
Some very specific prompts for various fandoms I didn't request:
Ship Series - Anne McCaffrey
If it's something you feel up to tackling, I would absolutely adore a take on the Ship situation which pokes at the really ableist underpinnings in the world building and society. If you add some cool ship pov and possibly ship/human makeouts I would not be opposed >.> I haven't read any of these books in years, the only one I remember at all is the first one, so Helga or a ship OC would be best.
Crossovers:
AI/brain ships from the Radch, Ship Who Sang, Culture, Homestuck and/or Mass Effect universe meeting and comparing notes omg. And possibly fermenting rebellion.
