Dear Gen Freeform Writer,

Thank you so much for offering to write a story for me! I love all these fandoms, and the tropes I've nominated, and I'm really keen to see what you do in them! I've also provided some extra prompts in case you're looking for inspiration, but I'd also love to see whatever other ideas capture your imagination.

For me, it's about the characters and their interactions. I'm not a stickler about researching canon details, as long as the spirit of the characters and the flavour of their world is there. I want to see adventures that might have been, or missing moments from between scenes, or a slice of their daily lives, or where the future might take them.

LIKES: Some of the things I enjoy in stories are: undying loyalty, personal bravery, risking self to protect others, displaying cool competence, big damn hero moments, special everyday moments, banter, hijinks, confessions exposing emotional vulnerability, conversations loaded with unspoken meaning, tough people showing a soft side, and soft people showing a tough side. Some of my favorite tropes and genres are: amnesia, angst with a happy ending, animal transformation, arranged marriage, bodyswap, cosmic horror, curtainfic, five things fic, getting together, hurt/comfort, mutual requited pining, mystery solving, road trips, sex pollen, slice of life, stranded together, and time travel.

DISLIKES: I generally prefer optimistic stories in exchanges, so I'm not keen on anything that is brutally violent or hopelessly bleak. However, I don't mind darkness during the story, as long as there is a glimmer of light at the end. Endings that are bittersweet or ambiguous are also fine.

DO NOT WANT: Noncon, underage, bleak endings, crossovers (unless requested), setting change AUs like high school, coffee shop, or omegaverse (but canon divergence AUs are fine).

STYLE: I'm fine with first, second, or third person. I'm fine with past or present tense. I'm fine with stories of any length, including stories that start in media res or consist of a scene that implies a larger plot.

POV: I'm open to stories from the point of view of a different character from the ones requested, especially if they provide an interesting perspective on the requested characters.

INTERACTIVE FICTION: I like interactive fiction and would welcome it.

AO3: I have gifts enabled and am open to treats.

I've listed more details under each individual request.

I hope this helps. Have fun writing!

Yours sincerely,

meteordust

( Fandom - Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett (TV) - fanfic )

Works are revealed for the Gen Freeform Exchange!

I was excited to sign up for this exchange because:

(1) I had a request for a shiny new fandom that would fit perfectly.
(2) The exchange allowed requesting a minimum of one fandom.

The caveat: if you request fewer than three fandoms, and you go out to pinch hit, they won't hold up reveals for you, though they will keep your pinch hit posted.

The Book of Boba Fett is a popular recent fandom, in a popular megafandom, so I figured they were pretty good odds.

I guess maybe not?

I have to acknowledge I was rolling the dice by making just one request. It's still a bit dispiriting to be the only pinch hit that never got picked up by anybody from the start to the end of the exchange. (I thought they were cool prompts! They should get to become an interesting story someday!)

Anyway! The collection is open, with 64 works in 50 fandoms.
