Dear Creator,

Thank you in advance for whatever lovely thing you make for me!! I've been adding to this list over time, so I apologize for how long it is. These wants/do-not-wants most directly apply to fics and podfics, but I think a lot of them are relevant to fan art and other fan works, as well.

My tastes in Star Wars fanworks are a lot more particular than what I enjoy in Murderbot works, so I'll list my shorter Murderbot preferences first.

The Murderbot Diaries:

WANT

• Anything focused on the friendship between SecUnit and other characters, but especially Mensah, ART, Three, Ratthi, and the rest of the Preservation humans (and augmented humans)
• I love moments when SecUnit shows some affection and vulnerability, but with the strong caveat that I prefer if fanworks portray it in a way that's pretty consistent with its canon levels of emotional intimacy and physical contact. That tension is just so good!
• Hurt/comfort. I'm a sucker for SecUnit getting banged up to help those it cares about. Three getting banged up to help SecUnit and/or others is excellent, as well
• Fluff with just a dash of angst or bittersweetness
• General exploration of constructs and bots, their relationships to each other and humans, and what kinds of internal and external conflicts could arise from all of that
• Cool planets, flora, and fauna! Surveys! Harrowing adventures! Alien remnants! All that good stuff
• Shitting on the Corporation Rim (but helping average people who are stuck there)

DO NOT WANT

• Major character death, hurt no comfort, unhappy endings, whump without some serious comfort to balance it
• Weirdly for me, I'm not into shipping in this fandom. Of course, background canon ships like Arada/Overse etc. are fine, but I prefer platonic relationships among the other characters
• Anything focused on pregnancy, childbirth, child-rearing, weddings, or characters being married. There can be married characters, of course, and other kinds of partnerships, but really dwelling on the concept of marriage as an institution is something I don't enjoy
• AUs that are wildly different from canon (coffee shop, fantasy, etc.). However, this only applies to fics and podfics. Visual depictions of Au versions of various characters could be cool!

Star Wars/The Clone Wars:

WANT

• SFW and NSFW are both great

• General tropes/themes:

canon non-compliance, fix-it, hurt/comfort, friends to lovers, isolated together, getting together, mutual pining, fluff, domestic sweetness, missing scenes, hopeful/happy ending, slow burn, huddling for warmth, action, characters getting to be BAMFs, banter, unreliable narrator, found family, only one bed, Ryloth and Twi'lek culture, Force bonds, cyborgs. I'm a particular fan of bittersweetness and the clones dealing with their pasts/considering their futures. I also love flexible and/or unique ideas about sex, sexuality, family, and gender in their culture. idk, there are so many things I love in fics, so it's hard to think of them all!

• AUs:

fix-its and canon divergences of all sorts. They can diverge wildly from canon (ie: clones on both sides of the war, Jango Fett wasn't Human so neither are the clones, the Kaminoans made some clones into vampires/vampire-like beings, etc.) as long as they remain in the GFFA. I also very much prefer if the GFFA doesn't feel like the modern real world

• Characters:

Waxer, Boil, Numa, Trapper, the 212th in general, Mace Windu, Thorn, Sugi, Steela Gerrera, Rex, Keeli, Ima-Gun Di, Hardcase, Savage Opress (man, I hate his name XD), Blackout, Spark, Glitch, Nilim Bril, Eleni Syndulla, Cham Syndulla, Bail Organa

• Ships:

Waxer/Boil, Waxer/Boil/Rex, Waxer/Boil/Sugi (basically, Waxer/Boil/anyone, with the *** caveat in the DNW section below), Sugi/Steela, Keeli/Ima-Gun Di, Mace/anyone awesome enough to deserve him, Glitch/Savage, Fox/Rex, Fox & Thorn, Waxer & Boil & Numa

• Polycules are great (with the *** caveat in the DNW section below)

• If NSFW:

I enjoy a very wide variety of smut, so I can't possibly list everything, but off the top of my head... tender sex, playful sex, rough sex, Force bonds or using the Force during sex, characters picking up/maneuvering their partner(s), restraints/bondage, free use, first times (with that partner/those partners), creative genitalia, monsterfuckery/tentacles, sex pollen/fuck-or-die, desperate sex, casual sex (especially if that comes [hah] before deeper feelings between characters)

DO NOT WANT

• Reader x fics, first-person pov, second-person pov

• General tropes/themes:

O66/post-O66 (unless it goes very differently from canon and is much less of a tragedy), Imperial era, hurt no comfort, whump, major character death, making the GFFA feel like the real world, focus on marriage/weddings (partners are okay!), clones speaking Mando'a/being Mandalorian, focus on toxic masculinity, stereotypical gender roles, pregnancy/childbirth, old clones, 212th/Obi-Wan, anti-Jedi opinions, possessiveness/toxic jealousy, woobification, angry or mean medics/doctors, misunderstandings being the sole focus of the story, focus on religion/souls/ghosts (of course, this excludes Force stuff and the Jedi because Star Wars), chatfic. Angst is fine if balanced with plenty of sweetness or comfort. Also, no discussion/depiction of weight gain or focus on characters being asexual or permanently disabled (reading about experiences similar to my own is the opposite of fun for me and if you think that's fatphobic/acephobic/ableist, you need to learn some reading comprehension)

• AUs:

omegaverse, wingfic, soulmates, modern

• Characters:

Anakin, Jango Fett, Boba Fett, Ventress, Republic Commando, The Bad Batch (minus Echo). And I like Obi-Wan, but please, no works focused on him

• Ships:

Cody/Rex, Thorn/Fox (I just really love both of those ships as more like best buddies/siblings), any ships with the characters listed just above this

• *** No threesomes or polycules where all the focus is on one character and the other characters ignore each other/might as well be cardboard standees

• Waxer/Boil-specific thing:

Of course, I love when they get to have a peaceful life after the war, but I'm not a fan of them fitting into the 'husband + wife (because, let's face it, fanon makes Boil into the husband and Waxer into the wife) + kids + white picket fence' sort of thing. Messier found-family situations are much more appealing to me

• If NSFW:

mommy/daddy kink, humiliation, heavy dom/sub, cock cages, food or poop stuff, water sports, roleplay, non-con. Regarding public sex and/or voyeurism, I don't generally enjoy scenarios that are very exhibitionist or where that's the focus, but it's totally fine to include it as an element in fic/art/etc. No focus on ships involving asexual characters (see 'general tropes/themes' above)
