Dear Heart Attack Writer 2020
Welcome and thank you, Heart Attack writer!
Things I love, in general: Aliens made us do it, amazing hair, angst, animal sidekicks/pets, antisocial geniuses, apocalypses, bi- or pansexuality, bittersweet endings, blood, boys in eyeliner, chaotic neutral or similar characters, chocolate, comedy, cooking, dark themes, death, dragons, drag queens, dress uniforms/suiting up, double agents, dub-con, dystopias, established pairs bringing in a mutual third, evil cliffhanger endings, femslash, fluff, found families, geekboys, geekery, geekgirls, gen, glasses (and/or glasses!kink), goddesses/gods, goth or punk AUs, happy endings, het, hijinks, hurt/comfort, illness, insanity, kitties, meta, OT3s, ploty things, random little life/death snippets, shenanigans, shiny things, slash, snark, sneaking, sparkly things, spies, spunky chicks, squee, team-as-family, tomboys, tough-on-the-outside bishies, tricks and tricksters, unhappy endings, whump… and more, I'm sure.
Things I DNW, in general: 2nd Person POV, animal cruelty, character bashing, coprophilia/watersports, COVID, explicit sex scenes, glorified gay bashing, infidelity, issuefic**, non-con, politics, pwp
** "issuefic" has a variety of meanings. My meaning: a story where the fact that something could be an issue is the focus. For example, if I ask for slash A/B, and they are in the military, a story about how they can't be out as gay because military - that's issuefic. If chara C is ace, a story about how her mother thinks that ace is a made up thing, or that gays should burn in hell - that's issuefic. They can be gay and fix the spaceship! Or they can be ace and win the spelling bee! Just, I don't want the story to be about how *whatever* is problematic or hard or dangerous in the wider sociopolitical context. I have real life for that. I hope that makes sense, and if you have any questions, please feel free to have the mods ask me for clarification.
Other things, in general: For canons where we know the characters as children, please age them to at least 15 before putting them in romantic relationships. Thank you!
The above may or may not apply to any of my current requests, which I'll detail now.
Request Fandom 1: Dragonriders of Pern – Anne McCaffrey
Menolly &/ Mirrim, Menolly
Menolly remains at the weyr? Dragonrider!Menolly AU? Or harper!Menolly Landing-era hijinx? Fire lizard hijinx? After the engines are placed, what do the Landing gang get up to? Menolly performing for an attentive dragon audience?
I'd also love something set right after Menolly's second book, when she's in the hall and finding her place. I love love love Dragonsinger, and that time period in the Harper Hall. I love Menolly's group with Sebell, Talmor, and Domick. I love the saga of getting the fire lizard eggs to hatch. I love the mentorship relationship with Menolly and Robinton, and also the kind of mentorship/sibling relationship between Menolly and Sebell. I'd love anything set in that era!
More Details: Pretty much I always ask for Harpers, because the world just needs more Harper-fic. I love music but don't know much technical about it, so feel free to handwave.
Request Fandom 2: Tricksters - Tamora Pierce
Aly Cooper &or Dove Balitang &or Kyprioth, Aly/Dove
I would love anything set after the books. Dove being queen, Aly being spymaster, Kyprioth interfering in either of those two jobs, Kyprioth making another wager with/assignment for Aly… or whatever you can think of.
More Details: I love Aly's love of life and the pleasure she gets from doing spy things. Her depth of knowledge and sneaky ways are very impressive. Her way of living with one finger stuck in everyone else's business while seeming to be nowhere near them is great as well.And her personality in general I just adore.
I love how calculating Dove is; she thinks before she speaks and she always wants to learn more about everything. The loyalty/friendship/potentially love between her and Aly is fabulous to watch as it develops. I also love the differences between her and Sarai, and how the Raka have to get used to her. As a bookworm myself, her quieter personality, and the way various people interpret it, really hit home with me.
Kyprioth as a trickster is love, but there is also this intense dark side to him. The years of pain, the insane anger, the Godly power... all the things he masks, but which pop out on occasion. He's so complex! And at the same time such a ham! I love his relationship with Aly and his elder statesman persona.
Request Fandom 3: Dead By Daylight (Video Game)
Oni & Spirit, Entity, Vigo, &/or Vigo!survivors, Worldbuilding
Oni & Spirit: I love the fact that they gave us related killers, using the same weapon! I'd love something about them meeting in the Entity's realm for the first time. What must Oni have felt, to find out what his descendant had gone through? Has his family line now ended? Or, hijinks round the killer "campfire." How do they interact with the other killers? Do they have secret family in jokes? Do they drive the others crazy?
Entity: I want more backstory/worldbuilding for this one. What are the Entity's origins? Why is it doing things this way? How does it pick people? What does it gain? What is it's relationship with those who aren't caught in it's web, like Vigo? Does it ever interact with the killers after picking them? Several are also victims, like the survivors, but some really aren't. Do they hang with it and watch movies? Does it give out performance reviews? (Entity displeased). I'm fine with crack or 'crack treated seriously' here, like hellish bureaucracy, TPS reports, and movie night.
Vigo!Verse: So several survivors, like Claudette, Jake, Dwight, have these Vigo cosmetics. But the cosmetics kind of rebrand them: Vigo's Apprentice, Pupil, and Marauder? What on earth is this canonical AU? Do they help him experiment on the killers to make their blighted versions? Do those versions have their own memories, or are they like reincarnations? What is this world that Vigo lives in, where he has access to all of these folk? This AU fascinates me with it's possibilities.
**If you're looking for other killers/survivors to have cameo, my (non-requested) favorites are Huntress, Pyramid Head, Ghostface, and Meyers, and Feng, Kate, Yui, and Ash. I have a bad visceral reaction to Plague's puke noises, so I dislike her in game. But her backstory is interesting, and if she can keep from making explicit retching noises in fic, she's welcome to play :) .
Request Fandom 4: Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys [SAFETY]
Any
God how I love this album! I'd love some world-building here. Flesh out the Killjoy universe for me a bit. I'd love a take on the Korse/Poison backstory (ship or gen (or enemies to lovers? or lovers to enemies?) ;), or how any of the gang came to be in the zones. How did the gang end up with Motorbaby? Hijinks. What about that moment, between Motorbaby and Poison when he’s rescuing her, and he makes that face? Anything with Grace/Motorbaby, really. Basically just go wild and have fun with it. :D
I've read the comics, but prefer the original boys to the new gang. And I do love and adore the world of Ask Poison and it has been largely incorporated into my headcanon, so you can play with that too if you'd like. (But by no means do I consider it necessary for you to do so).
SAFETY: I nominated this as a safety fandom, but I would still be thrilled with fic for it. Danger Days is a concept album by My Chemical Romance (lyrics). There are 2 music videos (Na Na Na and Sing) set within the world. As I mentioned above, there is also a Comic series, but you can feel free to ignore that, especially if jumping in as a safety, as the original canon was just the album/videos. Ask Poison, which I referenced above, was an "Ask"-style rp tumblr for Poison. Not canon, but fun worldbuilding.

Request Fandom 5: Offworld by Celldweller (Album) [SAFETY]
Any
I would love something exploring the machine world. What is this Salvation Code? Was it written the way the machine is interpreting it; to have a girlfriend? Or was it more like a preventative measure of ensuring robots had a keeper so they wouldn't go off the rails? What kind of world has he awakened into? Why is he alone? Is this some post-apoc Earth the humans have abandoned? Has he been sent as a forward scout somewhere like Pluto? Is he actually surrounded by people and non-awake machines but he doesn't see them as real? Build away?
Alternatively, the Earthling groupings. We don't specifically know if they're human, but I kind of assume they are. But that's up to you - maybe they aren't? Or some aren't? Are we in a world where we have met aliens and they are also on Earth? Maybe. As for the Earthling, why is it his last night on Earth? Where is he going and why? Why was he seeing a Doctor and a Sister(/nun/nurse)? Is he a standard astronaut prepping for flight and that's why he saw the doc? Or is there something more at stake? Again, build away!
And feel free to combine both character sets, like have the earthlings interacting with the machines? Is the Doctor the one who made the machines or wrote the Salvation Code? Maybe!
SAFETY: I also nominated this as a safety fandom, but again, I would be thrilled with fic for it. :D I made a promo post for it on the com. This one is a single album with no videos.
Additionally, browsing me on AO3 will lead you to my writings, if you think that would be helpful or fun. :D
I think that's everything! Thanks so much!!!
