Dear RMSE 2022 Creator

anaisonfireHello, creator! So exciting to have you here.
In the first section below I’ve listed my DNWs and general likes, and in the second the specific fandom requests and what medium I’m asking for, along with a couple thoughts.
Don't feel like you have to strictly stick to my likes list - it's not exhaustive, and it's in part there to show you the general directions of where my taste runs. I love plot, I love strict relationship focus, and I love straight up smut. Go wild!
Also, how much I have to say about a fandom/character/ship isn’t indicative of how much I want it - I’d be equally happy to receive a gift for any of the requests, I just had more thoughts for some while writing (and often all I have to say about a ship is “!!!!! please :DD”)!
Additionally, if anyone feels inspired to do extra treats, I very much welcome them!
That’s all! Happy creating! 💖

I love how fucked up this world is, with their child soldiers and constant death – and the further back you go in time, the worse it is! I love the themes of village vs clan loyalty, the mixing of the personal and the political, the secrets and the murder right along the showy, cool as hell jutsus.
I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested!

I love the character arc of Shepard, how he goes over the course of the games from soldier taking everything in stride to visibly bowed down by all the responsibility on his shoulders. And still, until the end (and even past that, hah) he still stands up and does what must be done. I don't really care about origin/notoriety for Shep (or if he's custom or default), but recently I've been into the whole Butcher of Torfan thing.
Some prompts may lean in a OT3 direction, and I don’t mind if that’s where you want to take it.

Also as a sort-of exception to my mundane AUs DNW - I don’t really consider things like “Elves through history” or “Maglor in modern times” one of those, and in fact really love both tropes, so please feel free to write them if you so wish! I can never have enough :D
I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested! And go with whatever names you like, I just use the Sindarin versions here for ease.
On the clones: I like them regardless of whether they’re written as Mandalorian or not, though if yes, I’d ask that you keep the mando’a to more common-in-the-fandom words and avoid the whole sentences, since I can’t read it.

I admit I like my Empire characters light sided. Specifically, I live for that sweet, sweet twist of Cipher Nine turning coat and siding with the Republic at the end of the class story – it might be one of my favorite moments across all class stories. I know not everyone likes that, though, so absolutely feel free to go with the other endings!

As far as Rhaegar characterization, I’m most interested in a Rhaegar who did have the Seven Kingdoms’ best interests at heart, but made mistakes and is neither the Worst™, nor someone who’s done nothing wrong in his life ever. Make him as obsessed with prophecy or not as you like, so long as he’s got other things going on as well.
Handle Elia and Lyanna however you’d like - you can handwave it or just go AU and have them not be involved at all, or they’re still there (or just Elia is) and thus Rhaegar has put himself in a complicated position. If you’re going to write either of them, please don’t characterize them as existing only to be Rhaegar’s accessories (unless it’s in the co-conspirator sense :P) - I like my women to be complex characters on their own.

Ninjas! Powerful and sometimes ridiculous ninjas! :DI love how fucked up this world is, with their child soldiers and constant death – and the further back you go in time, the worse it is!

I love this world, in all its slightly-miserable apocalyptic glory. I also like mages and magic, A Lot! (In that sense, I admit I have a fondness for Mage Trevelyan, but that’s not at all necessary if you’re not into it. I love rogues and warriors too!) I tend to go for the middle/sarcastic dialogue options. A bit more specifically, I like an Inquisitor who’s good at the politics part of being the Inquisitor - maybe he’s not a genius or anything, but he’s aware of what’s going on and can, to some degree, play the game.And I like all characters so feel free to include/mention others as long as the focus is on the requested!

If I had to pick a favorite game of the trilogy it would have to be ME3, because of the character interactions and the way Shepard feels the most alive (ironically enough); but I also love ME1, where characters feel way more idealistic than they later become, and ME2 where it all seems to be crashing down but it's still bearable. I love the opening of ME2, especially the Normandy destruction scene - there's something very visceral about it, and the way silence is used works wonders.I love the character arc of Shepard, how he goes over the course of the games from soldier taking everything in stride to visibly bowed down by all the responsibility on his shoulders. And still, until the end (and even past that, hah) he still stands up and does what must be done. I don't really care about origin/notoriety for Shep (or if he's custom or default), but recently I've been into the whole Butcher of Torfan thing.

Any time period is fine, though I’m partial to the First Age, reincarnation in Valinor whenever (reembodiment; no adults as children/in child bodies please), and - in the case of those who did not go to West - way into the future after the Ring War. I love the tragedy of the Noldor. Themes of loyalty and doom are especially delicious. Compliance with canon events (i.e. traumatic death) are absolutely okay. Go all out on the angst if you wish, this is the canon for it. Or you can focus on the happy/less horrible times, too! I’ll love it either way.Also as a sort-of exception to my mundane AUs DNW - I don’t really consider things like “Elves through history” or “Maglor in modern times” one of those, and in fact really love both tropes, so please feel free to write them if you so wish!

I love everybody in the galaxy far, far away. I love the Jedi and their pseudo-Buddhist philosophy, and commitment to doing their best in less than ideal circumstances. I love the clones, who got dealt the worst hand in life but clung to their individuality until the last. I love how the tragic ending is foreshadowed to the viewer and when fic plays into that, but I also have a lot of love for fix-its. Do feel free to kill Palpatine off screen or, hell, feed him to the Zillo beast.On the clones: I like them regardless of whether they’re written as Mandalorian or not, though if yes, I’d ask that you keep the mando’a to more common-in-the-fandom words and avoid the whole sentences, since I can’t read it.

This is just SWTOR. I love this game so much. I’m particularly fond of the original class stories and the Shadow of Revan expansion, but all the expansions currently out are fair game.I admit I like my Empire characters light sided.
