Purimgifts 2023 Dear Creator letter
Dear Purimgifts creator,
I'm![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
SweetPollyOliver! Thank you so much for offering one/some of my requested fandoms! I'm really excited to see what you cook up.
This is my first time participating in Purimgifts, so I am not very familiar with the culture specific to the exchange and how important or unimportant letter writing is considered to be, so please take this simply as an "if this is useful" kind of thing. I'm very easy to please, provided you steer clear of DNWs and the archive tags I have asked to be excluded in my sign-up (i.e. Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con and Underage), and I'd be much happier to think that you made something that you had a great time making than that you got stressed worrying about what I might like or dislike.
I'm writing a letter largely because in other exchanges I have participated in people tended to prefer having some level of guidance from their recip, but nothing I say here should be considered written in stone. Feel free to create a fanwork featuring any characters or ship, I am equally happy with something shippy or gen and I don't have a preference in terms of ratings. If I've strayed too far in the direction of not giving enough ideas, I'm really sorry. Prompts don't come very easily to me and I enjoy being surprised.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; Star Trek: Voyager; Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon); Star Trek: The Original Series
Grouping these requests together for convenience. Star Trek is forever favourite. I am very fond of all the characters and most of the canon ships except for Bashir/Dax (either Dax), Seven/Chakotay and, while I like it in canon, I don't enage with a lot of Bashir/Garak fanworks because I can be fussy about how it's portrayed.
Feel free to write a crossover if that's what you're feeling! I love crossover ships and gen interactions between Star Trek characters, including (especially?) ones who haven't met in canon. I also have a lot of Star Trek rarepairs that I adore, but don't feel any pressure to write anything you don't vibe with.
Some ships I am particularly fond of are: Worf/Data; Harry Kim/B’Elanna Torres/Tom Paris; Kathryn Janeway/Tuvok; Ezri Dax/Lenara Kahn; Geordi la Forge/Reginald Barclay; Kira Nerys/Miles O’Brien/Keiko O’Brien; Miles O'Brien/Keiko O'Brien; Kimara Cretak/Kira Nerys; Deanna Troi/K’Ehleyr; Deanna Troi/Tasha Yar; Sarina Douglas/Jack; Sarina Douglas/Seven of Nine; Lore/Jack; B’Elanna Torres/Seven of Nine; B’Elanna Torres/Kira Nerys; Jake Sisko/Nog; Quark/Grilka; Quark/Natima Lang; Quark/Pel; Quark/Odo; Jadzia Dax/Pel; Benjamin Sisko/Dax; Quark/Dax; Nyota Uhura/Christine Chapel; Christine Chapel/Janice Rand; B’Elanna Torres/K’Ehleyr; James T. Kirk/Spock; Jean Luc Picard/Beverly Crusher; Benjamin Sisko/Kasidy Yates; T'Ana/Shax; Beckett Mariner/Jennifer Sh'reyan; D'Vana Tendi/Sam Rutherford
Also, just to note, I know that this section seems big compared to the others, but I would be 1000% delighted to get a gift for any of my requested fandoms! A lot of the ships I listed in this section were copied and pasted directly from my entry on the![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
trek-rarepair-swap masterpost, which took a few seconds, so it's not reflective of me wanting Star Trek gifts above any of my other requests
Yentl (1983)
I really love Yentl! I just wrote a Yentl pinch hit for Yuletide and it's got me all warm and gooey thinking about Yentl again. I tend to view the protagonist as transmasculine, but that's obviously opt-in and not necessary if you don't feel the same. A post-canon story would be lovely, either OT3 or gen or any of the pairings of the main three characters, but pre-canon or during canon would also be amazing
Gravity Falls
So, full disclosure, I am violently in love with Grunkle Stan. Somehow he is my perfect man. I also love all of the characters, however, and I don't think there's anything Gravity Falls related I wouldn't be delighted to receive. Happy or sad; pre-, during, or post-canon; it's all good!
Leverage; Leverage: Redemption
Grouping these together à la what I did with the Star Trek requests! I love both shows so so much. OT3 related fanworks are what I usually gravitate towards in this fandom, but I'm equally happy with gen or a different ship! There is nothing I actively don't want for either of these. I am a big fan of Jewish readings of Hardison if that's something you're interested in
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers; Power Rangers
The fandom of my childhood! Which I also revisited for a brief but intense few months in 2016, when I wrote a number of Bulk/Skull fics instead of studying for my exams. >.>
I love all of the rangers (and Bulk and Skull, naturally) and Tommy/Kimberly was my very first OTP. If you are familiar with the Boom! comics, I'm very happy for elements of that iteration of canon being incorporated! I also tend to read Billy as gay (and as a former friend of Skull's, which I swear I came up with independently of the comics) but any interpretation is absolutely fine! In terms of non Mighty Morphin' iterations of the franchise, I am most familiar with Time Force and Samurai, but I would be more than happy for the opportunity to dive into a new to me Power Rangers show
Succession (TV 2018)
I love these terrible people so damn much. At any given time, I am likely knee deep in the Gerri/Roman tag on ao3, but I am more than happy to receive fanworks featuring any characters and/or ships (and, as always, shippy or gen fanworks are both equally welcome).
Only Murders in the Building
My beloved intergenerational mystery solving friend group! I love this show and can't wait for season three. Mabel Mora is my traumatised bisexual daughter who I love so very much. I ship Charles/Oliver and all of Mabel's canon ships (plus Mabel/Theo Dimas), but if you feel like writing something like Bunny/Uma or podficcing a Poppy character study then I'm right there with you! I am very happy to be surprised with whatever interests you
Singin' in the Rain (1952)
This is a fandom I often request in exchanges and am always delighted to receive. As I am now realising is something of a theme with the fandoms in this letter, I love the OT3 in this movie or any of the pairings of the main three characters. I also love all the side characters and would be utterly enchanted by a Lina Lamont/Zelda Zanders ficlet or something about the lady in green (Cyd Charisse's character) from the Broadway Melody sequence, for example
The Librarian (Movies); The Librarians (TV 2014)
Between this and Leverage: Redemption, Noah Wyle is very well represented in my nominations, which is fitting because I was head over heels in love with him on ER. I love absolutely all of the characters in this franchise though and I would gobble up anything featuring any of them
Community (TV)
Love, love, love Community. I'm excited for the movie! In terms of ships, if you wanted to go shippy, I really love Jeff/Shirley and any variation on the theme of Abed/Annie/Troy, but, as always, I am wide open to other possibilities both shippy and gen
Arrested Development
I love Maeby, Lindsay and Lucille (and Lucille Austero — angsty Lucille squared femslash anyone?) and I relate most to GOB and Buster of the Bluth family (and I also love fanworks that focus on their relationship as brothers, because their respective relationships with Michael are usually more featured in canon) but I am very happy to receive a gift about any character. If you want to go sad (or tragicomic) with this one, I would totally see it, because the lack of positive growth kind of goes with the territory in this fandom, but happy is by no means off the table! If we can't save our Bluths in fanworks then where can we?
Galavant (TV)
Ah, Galavant, taken from us too soon! I am a huge fan of all the characters and I would love a fanwork featuring any of them! As this is a musical fandom, if you are a podficcer and were brave enough to include some singing in your recording I would love you for a million years, but please feel under no obligation to if you're not comfortable
Farscape
I'm in the middle of a group rewatch of Farscape at the moment and it's held up so well! Puppetry, my beloved! I love all the characters and canon ships (in terms of non-canon ships I can't think of any except D'Argo/Zhaan off the top of my head, but I am always open to new ships) so please feel free to explore whatever corner of the Uncharted Territories your heart desires!
Sense8 (TV)
I am so enchanted by the worldbuilding in Sense8 and all of the various bonds that the sensates (and their loved ones) have with each other. Surprise, surprise, I mainly read Wolfgang/Kala/Rajan in this fandom, but any kind of Sense8 story would be absolutely amazing. Also, I'm new here, but do we think Whispers counts as an evil vizier? Because my gut feeling is yes

DNWs:
- Humiliation kink (non-kinky humiliation is fine)

- Unnegotiated kink (it’s fine if the negotiation happens offscreen and isn't alluded to much or at all, just so long as what’s happening isn’t explicitly completely spontaneous for the characters)
- Choking
- Dark fic/podfic (angst is fine, melancholy or bittersweet endings are fine, but I don’t want something that is primarily intended to be disturbing)
