Turing Fest 2021: Dear Author Letter

Dear Author,

Thanks for writing for me! This is my first year participating in Turing Fest, and I’m very excited about it.

This year, I’m asking for the following fandoms/characters/groups: (All of these are fic requests).

Buffy: Buffybot; Group:  Buffybot/April, Group:  Buffybot & The Scooby gang

Crossover: Nebula(MCU)/Fennec Shand(Mandalorian)

The Good Place: Janet; Group:  Janet/Jason; Group:  Janet & Jason & Tahani & Eleanor & Chidi & Michael

The Mandalorian: Group: IG-11 & The Mandalorian; Group: IG-11 & Kuill (SW Mandalorian); Fennec Shand; Fennec Shand/Bo-Katan Kryze

MCU: Nebula; Rocket Raccoon; Group:  Nebula & Rocket Raccoon

Original Fic: Solar Powered Robo-Kitty & Organic House Cat Who Keeps Hogging All The Best Sunbeams

She-Ra: Emily; Group:  Emily & Scorpia; Group:  Emily & Entrapta; Group:  Emily & Entrapta & Scorpia

NOTE: I’m supplying the prompts for people who like them as a starting point. If the prompts aren’t working for you, or you have ideas you like better, go for it! I’d rather you write something you enjoy than to contort yourself trying to match one of my prompts.

General Likes: 

Fics written from the of robot/AI point of view that emphasize the weird--either the robots themselves being intrinsically weird, or the robots/AIs approaching mundane events/subjects in an off-center way. 

Robots/AIs developing feelings that they don’t quite understand.

Genuinely earnest characters interacting with profoundly cynical characters. 

Five Things/Times fics. 

Unconventional/unexpected friendships.

Prompts: 

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

Buffybot/April: What happens when two robots who are designed to satisfy their partners get it on with each other? PWP or awkward failure-to-engage are equally welcome. I also do not need a reason that this is happening.

DNWs for this one: Warren, in any shape or form. Torture, humiliation

Buffybot: A glimpse into an AU where Buffybot survived past Buffy’s resurrection, and is working at DoubleMeat Palace for Buffy.

DNWs for this one: Warren, in any shape or form. 

***

Crossover: Nebula(MCU)/Fennec Shand(Mandalorian)

I just really like these uber-tough women.

Prompt #1: Nebula and Fennec discover that they’re trying to kill the same target; they team up and sparks fly.

Prompt #2: Nebula and Fennec get rip-roaringly drunk at the same bar and hook up. They can be melancholically drunk, belligerently I-can-take-on-the-whole-world drunk, uncharacteristically cheerful drunk, or anything in between. 

DNWs: Fennec or Nebula dying, humiliation, ass to mouth, scat or watersports.

***

The Good Place: 

Janet

Prompt: I’d love a glimpse of Janet’s POV during the time she’s stuck being human in Australia. Is having a human body and brain just endless frustration for her, or are there any parts of being human that she liked?

Janet & Jason & Eleanor & Chidi & Tahani & Michael 

Prompt 2: Long after the series finale, all the humans (including Tahani & Michael) have passed through The Door. What does Janet think/or do next?

Janet/Jason:

Prompt #1: This quote from “Whenever You’re Ready” has stuck with me: “I don’t experience time the same way you do. I kind of live all times at once . . . To me, remembering moments with you is the same as living in them.” 

I’d love a fic that explores what it’s like for Janet to remember / experience life with Jason all at once.

Prompt#2: Jason and Janet were trying and failing to have sex in Season 1, how did they eventually figure things out?

DNWs: humiliation, ass to mouth, scat or watersports.

The Mandalorian: 

Group: IG-11 & The Mandalorian; Group: IG-11 & Kuill (SW Mandalorian); Fennec Shand; Fennec Shand/Bo-Katan Kryze

Group: IG-11 & The Mandalorian

Prompt: In an AU where IG-11 didn’t blow up, IG-11 goes with The Mandalorian and serves as another protector for Grogu.

Group: IG-11 & Kuill (SW Mandalorian)

Prompt: I was fascinated by the idea that rebuilding IG-11 was kind of like child-rearing. I’d love a little scene where Kuill needs to patiently teach IG-11, like a child.

Fennec Shand:

Prompt: A story exploring what her cybernetics do (it wasn’t clear to me in canon), and whether she needs to adjust her timing, fighting style because of it.

DNWs for these: non-canonical deaths of IG-11, The Mandalorian, or Fennec Shand.

Fennec Shand/Bo-Katan Kryze

Prompt: Fennec and Bo-Katan engage in a little tension release either before or after rescuing Grogu.

DNWs: humiliation, ass to mouth, scat or watersports.

MCU: 

Nebula, Rocket Raccon, Group:  Nebula & Rocket Raccoon

I adore these wounded, guarded characters who are learning to connect with people. I was particularly taken with them in a re-watch of Avengers: Endgame. There’s a scene towards the beginning where Nebula returns from space, and Rocket comes over and wordlessly holds her hand. And then we learn that they’ve been patrolling space together for the five years after The Snap.

Nebula: 

Prompt#1: A moment (or several of them) when Nebula was happy/grateful/or even just not-sad to be a cyborg

Prompt#2: Nebula’s POV about needing to kill the earlier version of herself in Endgame.

Rocket Raccoon:

Prompt#1: Sometime pre-canon, Rocket’s in a jam and needs to use his tech skills to escape.

Prompt#2: Rocket encounters an actual raccoon on earth, which makes him contemplate the way his cybernetic enhancements set him apart from others.

DNWs: Rocket dying

Group:  Nebula & Rocket Raccoon

Prompt #1: Rocket and Nebula see the effects of the Snap on other planets.

Prompt#2: Rocket decides to be Nebula’s wingman on a night out at a bar. What could possibly go wrong?

Prompt#3: Rocket and Nebula have some quiet moments missing all the people that they lost in the Snap.

DNWs: Unrequested deaths of Nebula or Rocket.

Original Fic: Solar Powered Robo-Kitty & Organic House Cat Who Keeps Hogging All The Best Sunbeams

I think this tag is a prompt on its own.

DNWs: Severe damage to Robo-Kitty, severe injury/death of Organic House Cat. 

She-Ra: Group: Emily & Entrapta & Scorpia, Group: Emily & Entrapta, group: Emily & Scorpia, Group: Light Hope/Mara

Emily & Entrapta

Prompt:

Emily’s POV on Entrapta’s willingness to go back for Emily in Season 1, 

Emily & Scorpia

Prompt:

Emily’s POV on Scorpia’s decision to run away to protect Emily

Emily & Entrapta & Scorpia 

Prompt#1: Emily’s thoughts about loyalty (Entrapta going back for Emily in Season 1, and Scorpia running away to protect Emily in Season 4)

Prompt#2:

Post-canon, Emily, Entrapta, and Scorpia work on rebuilding the former Fright Zone.

Group: Light Hope/Mara

Prompt: Light Hope pines for Mara (without fully understanding that’s what she’s doing).
