starspray: luthien heraldric symbol, white flowerse on dark background (luthien heraldry)
Hello, dear creator! I'm super excited for Innumerable Stars; it's my favorite exchange every year. If you've already got an idea please feel free to ignore any and all prompts; honestly with the worldbuilding tags at this point I'm just here to point out which worldbuilding tags I chose to go with which characters, with maybe some extra details for some requests (and hopefully to organize them in a way that's somewhat more readable than the wall of text on AO3). I tend to recycle prompts a lot, but you can look through the exchange letter tag here on my DW for other letters for past years. In general I love character studies and worldbuilding, and filling in all the gaps left in canon.

DNW: No really graphic violence (canon-typical is fine). Canon-divergence AUs are fine, but nothing that takes it out of the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or whatever, in other words. No smut, please, or incest, etc. I would also not like anything movie-verse, especially for The Hobbit. I also would not like to read fic in which Elros and/or Elrond outright hate their parents, or call Maglor "Father" (he’s absolutely a father figure but he’s not their father, if that makes sense).

Hello, dear creator! It's been a minute since I did this exchange and I'm very excited for it this year! All prompts are of course optional and if you already have an idea please feel free to ignore this letter. You can also glance through my exchange letter tag here on DW, though I do tend to recycle prompts.

DNW: No really graphic violence (canon-typical is fine). Canon-divergence AUs are fine, but nothing that takes it out of the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or whatever, in other words. Also no incest, and no smut.

Hello, dear creator! Innumerable Stars is my favorite exchange and I'm so very excited to see what you make! Any and all prompts are entirely optional, and if nothing in this letter strikes your fancy you can find other exchange letters under the tag in my DW (though I do tend to recycle prompts). I most love worldbuilding and character studies!

Leaf by Niggle

Characters: Group: Niggle & Parish, Group: Parish/Parish's Wife; Niggle, The Tree
Worldbuilding: Journeys & Mountains, The Fate of Niggle's Paintings

The worldbuilding tags--Niggle's Paintings in particular--are what I'd love to see for this canon. Also any sort of character study for the characters mentioned. Outsider POVs might be neat!

Sellic Spell

Characters: Beewolf, Original Character(s), The Queen of the Golden Hall, Grinder's Dam
Worldbuilding: Beewolf's Ancestry, Smithcraft, The Sword Forged By Giants, Ogre Magic

Again the worldbuilding tags sum it up pretty well. For the Queen of the Golden Hall I'd love her POV on events; and Grinder's Dam's origin story would also be very cool!

Roverandom

Characters: Roverandom, Group: Roverandom & Psathamos, Group: Roverandom & The Moon Rover & The Sea Rover, Group: Psathamos & The Man in the Moon & Artaxerxes, Group: Mew & Uin, Group: The Man in the Moon & The Dreaming Children on the Moon
Worldbuilding: The Moon Path, Roverandom's Further Adventures, Memories & Half-forgotten Things on the Dark Side of the Moon

Roverandom's post-canon adventures! Would love to see some, especially if the Moon Rover and the Sea Rover get to be involved. I'd also like to see what wizards get up to or talk about when they get together.
Smith of Wootton-Major

Characters: Alf Prentice, Group: Alf Prentice & Harper, Group: Smith & his Children, Smith, Tim of Townsend, Group: Smith & Tim of Townsend, Original Character(s)
Worldbuilding: Craft in Wootton-Major, Items From Faery, Journeys to Faery, Other Bearers of the Star and their Journeys to Faery, The Borders of Faery, Sentient Nature and Weather, Trees and their Powers, How Master Cooks Choose Their Apprentices

This is a canon where I'd love worldbuilding fic. I'd also dearly love to see Tim of Townsend's adventures in Faery, and whether he receives a gift like Smith's flower. Alf's relationship with various folks in Wootton-Major would also be great, particularly his own apprentice, who must be rather special himself.

Farmer Giles of Ham

Characters: Garm, Chrysophylax Dives, Group: Agatha/Farmer Giles, Group: Agatha & Garm, Bellomarius, Group: Farmer Giles & Garm
Worldbuilding: Dog-latin, Different Types of Dragons, The History of Caudimordax, The Wide World

For Farmer Giles I'd love more worldbuilding, and maybe Agatha's perspective on events. Also Garm goes off wandering all about and I'd love to know more about all of that. Or of course the history of Caudimordax and its previous adventures! Or how precisely Chrysophylax deals with the other dragons once he returns to his own lands.

Crossovers

Worldbuilding: Immortal Characters in History, Magical Forests, The Star from Faery (Smith) in Arda

Characters (1): Group: Daeron & Elrond, Group: Sam Gamgee & Daeron, Group: Bilbo Baggins & Daeron, Group: Arwen & Daeron, Group: Elanor Gardner & Daeron

The Daeron prompts are all literally just me wanting Daeron to meet these various characters. I want to know how they'd interact and what they'd talk about, especially depending upon when they meet!

Characters (2): Group: Frodo Baggins & Nienna, Group: Bilbo & Pengolodh

Frodo meeting Nienna to help work through his healing is a thing near and dear to my heart. And Bilbo, amateur loremaster, meeting Pengolodh, professional loremaster, is just delightful. I wonder whether Bilbo has any criticisms of Pengolodh's writing, or whether he would be eager to impress him? 

Characters (3): Group: Maglor & Roverandom, Group: Celebrimbor & Smith, Group: Smith & The Elven Smith of Your Choice

Again, I just want to know what would happen if these characters should meet, and also how Arda might intersect with the Faery of Smith's world, or even the mundane world of Wootton-Major.

Silmarillion

Characters: Group: Earendil & Elrond & Elros, Group: Daeron & Feanor & Rumil of Turion , Group: Daeron/Maglor, Group: Eärendil/Elwing , Elwing, Group: Elrond & Elros, Group: Elured & Elurin & Elwing, Group: Eluréd & Elurín, Group: Celebrimbor & Elwing, Group: Dior & Elwing, Group: Celebrían/Elrond, Finduilas, Group: Lúthien & Melian, Gil-galad, Beleg Cúthalion, Mablung of Doriath, Original Character(s), Group: Elrond & Maglor, Dior, Elrond
Worldbuilding: Tol Eressea, Sirion Before the Kinslaying, Doriath, Valinor During Third/Fourth Age and Beyond, Daily Life In Valinor, The War of Wrath, Choices of the Peredhil, Peredhil as Neither Elf Nor Man, Founding & Early Years of Imladris

For this the worldbuilding tags are pretty great prompts. I'm also fond of Finduilas as Gil-galad AUs, if that strikes your fancy. And I'm always eager for Peredhil family, and most especially Elured and Elurin surviving Doriath, however that might happen!

Lord of the Rings

Characters: Group: Tom Bombadil & the Dunedain, Goldberry, Group: Arwen & Frodo, Group: Aragorn & Halbarad, Aragorn, Group: Arwen & Elrond, Group: Bilbo & Elrond, Arwen, Group: Frodo & Bilbo Baggins, Group: Celebrimbor & Frodo, Frodo Baggins, Group: Rangers & Breelanders, Original Hobbit Characters, Faramir (Son of Denethor II), Farmer Maggot, Radagast, Group: Gandalf & Radagast, Gandalf, Group: Elrond & Gandalf & Galadriel, Lady of the Blue Brooch
Worldbuilding: Gandalf and/or Aragorn's Past Journeys in Moria, Aragorn's wanderings with the Dunedain and Elladan and Elrohir, Fourth Age Shire, Elrond & Vilya, Life in Rivendell, Magic of Rivendell, Elven Magic, Hobbits in Valinor, Rangers of the North, Blue Wizards' Success and Failures

Again here the worldbuilding tags sum it all up. In addition, young Farmer Maggot heading into the Old Forest would be delightful, and I'd also like to see Radagast post-canon--I like to think that his work really begins then, helping the world recover after Sauron.

Crossover:

Worldbuilding: Valinor
Worldbuilding: Meeting in the Forest
Worldbuilding: Inns & Pubs & Taverns (Crossover)
Worldbuilding: Elves &/or Ainur in History (Crossover)


This is the signup where I just want Hobbits Meeting All The People! There are so many cool narrative and thematic things to explore with all of the characters above--not to mention the various personalities that come into play. I have no real specific requests for any of them, except that in Frodo's case I love fanworks exploring his healing and recovery after he comes to Valinor.

.

Smith of Wootton Major

Characters:
Group: Nell & Alf Prentice (Smith)
Smith (Smith)
Alf Prentice (Smith)
Group: Ned Smithson & Alf Prentice (Smith)
Original Character (Smith)


Worldbuilding:
Worldbuilding: The Relationship of Faerie to Our World (Smith)
Worldbuilding: Craft in Wootton Major (Smith)
Worldbuilding: The Borders of Faery (Smith)
Worldbuilding: Past Bearers of the Star and their Journeys to Faerie (Smith)
Worldbuilding: Trees and their Powers (Smith)

For these I would dearly love gapfillers. Smith spends hears wandering about Faerie and we get so little of it in the story! I'd also love more expansion on Wootton Major and Alf's relationship with Smith's family, perhaps while he's gone.

.

Roverandom

Characters:
Group: The Moon Rover & The Sea Rover (Rover)
Group: Roverandom & The Sea Rover (Rover)
Group: Roverandom & The Moon Rover & The Sea Rover (Rover)
Group: Roverandom & The Moon Rover (Rover)
The Moon Rover (Rover)
The Sea Rover (Rover)
Roverandom (Rover)
Psamathos (Rover)

Worldbuilding:
Worldbuilding: The Sea Kingdom (Rover)
Worldbuilding: The Moon Path (Rover)
Worldbuilding: Roverandom's Further Adventures (Rover)
Worldbuilding: The Isle of Lost Dogs (Rover)
Worldbuilding: Memories and half-forgotten things on the Dark Side of the Moon (Rover)

Post-canon adventures for Roverandom and the other Rovers would be really lovely. That's all I've really got, aside from a general love of worldbuilding and maybe some backstory on the Sea and Moon Rovers--also the two of them meeting via Roverandom would be really fun, I think!

.

The Lord of the Rings

Worldbuilding:
worldbuilding: Rivendell as a place and environment
Worldbuilding: gardening (LotR books)
worldbuilding: bystander pov on canon characters
Worldbuilding: Sailing to Valinor (LotR Books)
Worldbuilding: Interracial friendships
worldbuilding: identity porn with Strider/Aragorn/Thorongil/etc
worldbuilding: flora and fauna of middle earth

Characters 1:
Fredegar Bolger (LotR books)
Elanor Gardner (LotR books)
Group: Bilbo & Merry (LotR books)
Group: Bilbo & Pippin (LotR books)
Group: Bilbo & Sam (LotR books)
Group: Bilbo & Frodo (LotR books)
Frodo Baggins (LOTR books)
Pippin Took (LOTR books)
Merry Brandybuck (LOTR books)

This batch of characters is all Hobbits All The Time. Fatty Bolger needs more love--a gapfiller of what's going on in the Shire while Frodo & Co are off on the Quest would be really lovely. For Frodo, as I said above for the Crossover prompts, I love works focusing on his recovery post-canon. Post-canon looks at Merry and Pippin would also be really nice, in the Shire or in Gondor/Rohan--same for Elanor, maybe something from her time as one of Arwen's handmaidens, or after she's grown up and living in the Tower Hills.

For the Bilbo & prompts, pre-canon bonding with the others would be really lovely, and especially in Sam's case teaching them about Elves--he's of course the one who taught Sam his letters, and at least the song about Gil-galad. Bilbo as an eccentric mentor/teacher to the younger generation is just really delightful to me and I'd love to see it explored.

Characters 2:
Group: Bilbo & Gil-galad (LotR books)
Group: Bilbo & Boromir (LotR books)
Group: Celebrimbor & Frodo (LotR books)

This batch is basically a repeat of the Crossover set above; just throw the characters together and see what comes out of it! Bilbo and Gil-galad is of course neat because Bilbo did so much translating of old tales for a Shire audience (I am thinking of the Gil-galad song Sam sings in FOTR), and of him meeting the subjects of those stories. And Frodo and Celebrimbor is especially Interesting because of the whole Ring deal. And Bilbo & Boromir in Rivendell would be so fun--I imagine Bilbo has so many questions about Gondor, and Boromir has only recently even learned what a Halfling is, and going by the Council of Elrond, he has absolutely no idea what to make of Bilbo--it's such a recipe for a fun encounter.

Characters 3:
Group: Gilraen & Aragorn (LotR books)
Gilraen (LOTR books)
Group: Gilraen & Ivorwen (LotR books)
Group: Gilraen & Elrond (LOTR books)
Group: Celebrian/Elrond
Group: Arwen & Celebrían & Elladan & Elrohir & Elrond (LotR book)

Gilraen is one of my absolute favorites and anything exploring her life in Rivendell or before it or after it, plus her relationships with the various people in both places who are also involved in raising Aragorn to varying degrees, would be so wonderful. Not to mention her relationship with Aragorn himself: they seem to be very close, and I really love that.

And for the Rivendell fam--I'd love anything from Celebrian/Elrond getting together to them raising their family and running Rivendell to reuniting in Valinor. For the latter I would like to see Elladan & Elrohir choose immortality rather than mortality, for just one less tragedy in Elrond and Celebrian's lives.

Character 4:
Malbeth the Seer

Honestly I just want to know more about them. I HC them as a woman but I'm open to anything. All we know is a couple of their prophecies! This would also be a great way to explore late Arnor and what was going on in Eriador at that time.

The Silmarillion

Characters:
Group: Dior/Nimloth & Eluréd & Elurín & Elwing (Silm)
Group: Eärendil/Elwing & Elrond & Elros (Silm)

Group: Eärendil & Maeglin (Silm)
Eärendil (Silm)
Group: Eärendil & Turgon
Group: Eärendil & Idril/Tuor (Silm)

Worldbuilding:
Worldbuilding: Valinorean preparation for the War of Wrath
Worldbuilding: Reembodied elves
Worldbuilding: Valinor after the War of Wrath and beyond
Worldbuilding: Valinor in Fourth Age
Worldbuilding: Tuor's immortality in Valinor
Worldbuilding: Choice of the Peredhil (Silm)
worldbuilding: reunions after returning from death
Worldbuilding: The Valar in Daily Life/The Valar Doing Their Jobs (Silm)

Really the worldbuilding tags sum up what I'm interested in, with the addition of Fun And Complicated Family Dynamics (sans character bashing of course, please). Elured and Elurin surviving Doriath somehow is always welcome, but also Elured and Elurin dying and then returning from Mandos would also be very fun, particularly if they don't age in there. I'm very interested in reconcilliation but also in the bumpy road it takes to get there, or even to just start down the road towards it. But I would also love (relatively) uncomplicated joyful reunions between long-sundered family members!
starspray: Frodo reading beneath a tree (Frodo Reading)
Hello, dear Creator! I can't wait to see what you make for me! For this exchange the tags themselves are such great prompts that I'm not going to say much in addition, except maybe settings that I'm interested in, or which characters I had in mind when I chose the worldbuilding tags--but please don't feel beholden to that.

DNW: No really graphic violence (canon-typical is fine). Canon-divergence AUs are fine, but nothing that takes it out of the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or whatever, in other words. No smut, please, or incest, etc. I would also not like anything movie-verse, especially for The Hobbit. I also would not like to read fic in which Elros and/or Elrond outright hate their parents, or call Maglor "Father" (he’s absolutely a father figure but he’s not their father, if that makes sense).

starspray: Tom Bombadil coming down the path with lilies (Tom Bombadil)

Hello! It’s Innumerable Stars time, and I’m so excited to see what you create for me! All of the prompts below are entirely optional, and I don’t actually have specific prompts for every requested tag, and if you have an idea already please don’t feel bound by my ideas, or by the worldbuilding tags—those are all things I am intrigued by, but the list is by no means exhaustive. You can also find letters for previous IS and other exchanges under this same tag in my Dreamwidth.

The Lord of the Rings (pt 1)

Gilraen
Gilraen & Elrond
Gilraen & Bilbo Baggins
Gilraen & Aragorn
Gilraen & Ivorwen

Really I just want to see more Gilraen, and Gilraen interacting with people. There’s so much scope here to explore her character and her relationships, at home with the Dunedain and in Rivendell, as she adjusts to new surroundings—going either way, when she comes to Rivendell or at the end of her life when she leaves it to return to her own people. And of course there’s always other guests coming and going from Rivendell and her perspective on them (or theirs on her) would be neat.

Elrond
Elrond & Frodo Baggins
Celebrian/Elrond & Their Children
Elrond & His Children
Bilbo Baggins & Elrond
Elrond & Arwen
Elrond & Elladan & Elrohir
Elrond & Original Characters

Elrond has so many different kinds of relationships with so many different kinds of people, and he sees so much throughout his life. Quiet moments where he doesn’t have to be the Master of Rivendell would be really lovely. I’d really like to see him getting to know Bilbo once Bilbo settles into his retirement, and how they get from Host and Guest to good friends who can tease each other like they do in the Hall of Fire and at the Council in FOTR, or maybe how his friendship with Bilbo impacts his relationship with Frodo, both before and after the Quest.

.

The Lord of the Rings (pt 2)

Frodo Baggins & Bilbo Baggins
Frodo Baggins
Dora Baggins & Frodo Baggins
Sam Gamgee
Pearl Took & Pervinca Took & Pimpernel Took & Pippin Took
Rose Cotton
Bilbo Baggins & Dora Baggins
Arwen & Hobbits
Bilbo Baggins

This is the hobbit request! For the Ring Bearers I am always interested in seeing them post-War of the Ring or in Valinor, as Frodo heals from his various and many traumas, and Bilbo gets a brand new appreciative audience for his poetry. Sam in Valinor, too, would be really lovely—outside of his reunion with Frodo, although I would also really like to see that. Or Sam as mayor!

I was also delighted and intrigued by the Dora Baggins tags because she gets a single mention in FOTR as being a font of good advice, and she is also Frodo’s aunt which makes her even more closely related than Bilbo, and I’d love a young Frodo paying his aunt a visit, or vice versa.

The Took siblings just sound like they get up to all kinds of shenanigans as children and that would be really delightful. Alternately, Pippin finding out what his sisters were doing while he was away would be really cool as well.

Arwen and hobbits is a delightful image, and I’d really like just about anything—hobbits coming and going from rebuilt Annuminas, or making the journey down to Minas Tirith, or maybe even an encounter with the earliest hobbits who came into Eriador finding refuge in Rivendell?

.

The Hobbit

Belladonna Took & The Old Took
Belladonna Took
Beorn & Bilbo
The Old Took
Radagast & Beornings
Radagast
Radagast & Original Wood Elf Characters

I have never seen The Old Took requested before, and I don’t think I’ve ever read any fic about him! That’s a shame, as he must have had some delightful adventures in his youth, and I’d love an exploration of his relationship with Belladonna (or any of his other children, really!). And I’m always here for the adventures of the Famous Belladonna Took!

I’d also love to know what Radagast got up to post-Hobbit events, and how he got along with all his neighbors. Beorn seems to approve of him. And what’s Rhosgobel like?

As for Bilbo and Beorn: Bilbo spends quite a while at Beorn’s house on his way home, and any little gapfiller for that time would be marvelous.

.

The Silmarillion (pt 1)

Elwing
Earendil/Elwing
Elwing & Elros
Elwing & Melian
Elwing & Elrond & Elros
Elwing & Elrond
Elrond
Elrond & Elros
Elrond & Gil-galad
Earendil
Turgon & Earendil
Earendil & Maeglin
Elured & Elurin
Daeron & Elured & Elurin
Celegorm & Elured & Elurin

This is the half-elven request bunch. I just love this whole family so much! I’d love to see Elwing in Valinor, whatever she does when Earendil’s off sailing in space, and also what they do together when he comes back down (I do not like the version where they’re parted forever!). I’d be really delighted with any way she bends the rules about going back to mortal lands so she can visit Elros, as well.

I’d really like early Second Age Elrond, as he finds his footing after the War of Wrath, both before and after Elros leaves for Numenor.

For Elured and Elurin—I always love to see them survive Doriath, however that may happen, but seeing them in Mandos or reborn in Valinor would also be neat. I have no idea what an encounter between them and Celegorm would look like, after everything, but it would be fascinating.

Earendil and Maeglin sometime after Maeglin returns from Mandos—I’d like to see some kind of reconciliation, I think. Or at least some kind of closure.

.

The Silmarillion (pt 2)

Finduilas
Gil-galad
Cirdan & Gil-galad
Lalwen
Cirdan/Lalwen
Melian/Thingol
Olwe & Thingol
Melian
Olwe & Melian
Daeron & Luthien
Celebrimbor
Daeron
Maglor

For all the Melian and Thingol prompts I’d really like post-Mandos Valinor reunions, and Melian meeting the in-laws, as it were. How weird does Olwe think it is that his brother married a Maia?

I also would very much like to see Daeron and Luthien as friends, maybe when they’re very young or before Beren shows up, but also I don’t want him to be a creep.

For Maglor I am a sucker for the Maglor-throughout-history trope and wherever and whenever you’d like to stick him would be amazing. Daeron too, come to that—there should be more Daeron-throughout-history fics.

I have requested both Finduilas and Gil-galad because I am also a sucker for the Finduilas-is-Gil-galad AU/theory and however you want to play that would be fantastic. Alternately, Finduilas in or post-Mandos would be interesting, and also Gil-galad post-Mandos would be neat because he’s the longest-reigning and most successful High King of the Noldor in Beleriand and I’d really like to see various people’s takes on that.

.

Crossover

Frodo & Maglor

I have no real specific prompts here I just want all of these characters to meet and chat and react to one another or have an adventure, or just have tea or something. Bonus points for Roverandom if Psathamos shows up.

Hello, dear Creator!

I am super excited for this exchange, and to see what you make for me! Please note that the prompts below are all optional and if you have any ideas already, or come up with something different, please go for it! Outside of my DNWs I'm very easy to please.

DNW: No really graphic violence (canon-typical is fine). Canon-divergence AUs are fine, but nothing that takes it out of the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or whatever, in other words. No smut, please, or incest, etc (not that this really applies to a gen exchange). I would also not like anything movie-verse, especially for The Hobbit.

I'm very excited, and also pretty easy to please--aside from my DNWs, everything in this letter, including the worldbuilding tags, are just prompts and I won't be disappointed at all if you run with a wholly different idea, though I do ask that you avoid non-canon unrequested ships, please, at least as the main focus (nearly all of my requests are gen and even my shippy ones aren't that shippy).

Dear Author/Artist,

Hello! It's time for Every Woman and I'm very excited! All of the prompts in this letter are just ideas and suggestions, so please feel free to ignore them if you have a better idea. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

What I Don't Want: No really graphic violence (canon-typical is fine). Canon-divergence AUs are fine, but nothing that takes it out of the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or whatever, in other words. No smut, please, or incest, or anything like that.

Hello, dear author/artist! It's Innumerable Stars time again, and I am very excited!

All the prompts below are just suggestions; if you have an idea already please feel free to run with it.

I've included worldbuilding tags as sort of extra prompts; you can ignore them if you like.

What I Don't Want: No really graphic violence (canon-typical is fine). Canon-divergence AUs are fine, but nothing that takes it out of the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or whatever, in other words. No smut, please, or incest, or anything like that. I would also not like anything movie-verse, especially for The Hobbit.

.

The Silmarillion: Emeldir, Rian, Lalwen, Melian, Elwing, Luthien Tinuviel, Nellas, Maglor, Celebrimbor, Uinen

Emeldir: I would love to know what happened to her after she got her people out of Dorthonion--did she make it all the way to Brethil? Did she stay there, or move on to Dor-Lomin?

Rian: Something happy would be wonderful--from her courtship with Huor, or her relationship with Morwen and her family. An AU where she doesn't die would also be great.

Lalwen:
I would like to see something from her youth in Valinor, or exploring her relationship with Fingolfin and/or her other siblin

Melian: Early days in Eglador, as she adjusts to living as/among the Elves would be lovely.

Elwing: 
I really love Elwing-in-Valinor stories. Where does she go, what does she do when Earendil is off being a star?

Nellas: I like to think she survived the destruction of Doriath; something exploring where she went and what she did afterward would be lovely.

Maglor: I really like Maglor in history stories--any time period, anywhere, would be wonderful.

Celebrimbor:
I'd like to see something set in Eregion pre-Annatar, with Narvi or other dwarves, or working with the Gwaith-i-Mirdain.

Uinen: I'd like to see something exploring her friendship towards mariners--the Teleri, Cirdan's people, the Numenoreans, anyone.

.

The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn, Celebrian, Finduilas of Dol Amroth, Goldberry, Malbeth the Seer, Elrond, Samwise Gamgee, Gandalf, Legolas, Celeborn

Aragorn: I would love something about one of his adventures pre-LotR--as Thorongil in Rohan and Gondor, or elsewhere.

Celebrian: What did she get up to in Valinor, after healing and before Elrond arrived? She has kin there and I'd like to see her getting to know them.

Finduilas of Dol Amroth: Something from her youth in Dol Amroth would be lovely, or her relationship with Denethor before her health began to decline.

Goldberry: Any sort of slice-of-life in the Old Forest would be lovely. I'm also a fan of Tom, if you'd like to include him.

Malbeth the Seer: I hc Malbeth as a woman, and I would be interested in anything about her life, from her origins to her time at the court in Fornost.

Elrond: Any gapfiller from his long life would be lovely--I would especially like something set in Rivendell, maybe in the early days as it grew into something more than a wartime outpost.

Samwise Gamgee: He had a long and full life in the Shire--anything from that would be lovely. Especially about his time as mayor, or any journeys he made to Minas Tirith or to Annuminas when it was rebuilt.

Gandalf: Like Aragorn, I would love anything from his travels pre-LotR, because he went everywhere.

Legolas: Elves in Ithilien! I'd like to see something about that settlement, and maybe a developing friendship with Faramir and Eowyn.

Celeborn: I'd like to know what he got up to after Galadriel sailed west.

.

Harry Potter: Lily Evans Potter, Nymphadora Tonks, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood

Lily Evans Potter: I would love to see something about her first trip to Diagon Alley, or some other first in regard to entering the wizarding world.

Nymphadora Tonks: I'd like something about her career as an auror or her training, and her relationship with Mad-Eye.

Harry Potter: Anything happy that happens post-canon. I'm also fond of the AU where he becomes the DADA teacher at Hogwarts.

Ginny Weasley: Something about her career in Quidditch would be awesome. Or her decision to leave it and write for the Daily Prophet.

Neville Longbottom:
How he ends up as the Herbology teacher at Hogwarts would be wonderful.

Luna Lovegood:
I'd love something about her traveling around looking for wacky creatures, post-canon.

.

Stand Still Stay Silent: Sigrun Eide, Mikkel Madsen, Emil Vasterstrom, Reynir Arnason, Lalli Hotakainen, Onni Hotakainen, Ensi Hotakainen, Tuuri Hotakainen

Ensi Hotakainen: I'd be happy with anything at all about her--we know so little.

Tuuri Hotakainen: Something from her training as a skald back in Finland would be cool. Or the AU where she's not dead, that would also be cool.

Everyone Else: The first adventure is coming to an end, so a gapfiller between this one and the next, while we wait for it to start, would be awesome.

Hello Dear Author!

First of all, I know I will certainly love whatever you come up with, whether you use my prompts or not. I am really not hard to please.

What I Don't Want: No really graphic violence (canon-typical is fine). Canon-divergence AUs are fine, but nothing that takes it out of the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or whatever, in other words. No smut, please, or incest, or anything.

The Hobbit: Bilbo Baggins, Belladonna Took, Gandalf

Bilbo Baggins: I would like to see something where he meets Elves in the Shire, sometime post-Erebor, maybe? Or maybe before. Whichever you think would be more fun.

Belladonna Took: I would love a story about one of her adventures. She is the Famous Belladonna Took, and I'd love to know how she became so!

Gandalf: Gandalf hanging out with hobbits is always a joy, or on one of his many journeys through Middle-earth.

.

The Lord of the Rings: Finduilas of Dol Amroth, Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, Lady of the Blue Brooch, Gilraen, Elrond, Firiel of Gondor, Arwen Undomiel, Daughter of Arwen

Tom Bombadil, Goldberry: I just really like stories about the Old Forest in general. These two interacting with each other or with anyone else who wanders in would be lovely, whether its hobbits or Dunedain or Elves or whoever! Also, a little gapfiller about Gandalf's visit at the end of RotK might be fun.

The Lady of the Blue Brooch: I definitely ship her with Goldberry, but assuming that this is prior to Goldberry's marriage to Tom. Or, any story about who this lady was and what happened to her would be lovely.

Gilraen: I would love to see a story about Gilraen and her mother Ivorwen, or about her in Rivendell, adjusting to living among Elves all the time, or later in life after Aragorn is grown up. Or returning to her people and adjusting all over again to living among the Dunedain in Eriador.

Elrond:
Reunions in Valinor would be lovely--with his parents, especially, but also his meetings with various sundry relatives, both Noldor and Sindar.

.

The Silmarillion: Rian of the House of Beor, Galadriel, Luthien Tinuviel, Emeldir, Melian, Finduilas Faelivrin

Rian: She is "a singer and maker of songs," and I would love to see something about that.

Galadriel: I would love any gapfiller about her time in Doriath--her courtship with Celeborn, her friendship with Melian, etc. Maybe part of the Beren and Luthien story from her perspective? 

Luthien: Any part of Luthien's story from her own perspective would be wonderful. I'm also interested in her as a mother and grandmother, before Dior packs up and leaves for Doriath.

Melian: She is the only Ainu to have ever become a parent, and I'd love to see something exploring that, and her relationship with Luthien.

Finduilas: I'd really like to see her perspective on the various events of Nargothrond--pre-Turin, I mean.

Emeldir: She is call the "Man-hearted," and I'd like to see a story about how she got that name. Or what happened to her after she led her people out of Dorthonion--did she stay in Brethil, or go on to Dor-lomin, or what? Did she live long enough to hear about what Beren got up to, with the Silmaril and everything?

Hello, dear Author/Artist!

Please don't feel completely bound to whatever prompts you find in this letter; whatever you come up with, I'm sure I will love!

In general, I love worldbuilding and character studies, and many of the relationships I've requested, I did so because they have the potential to be so delightfully complicated.

But What I Don't Want: No smut, incest, or really graphic violence (canon-typical is fine), or major character death, please. Canon-divergence AUs are fine, but nothing that takes it out of the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or whatever, in other words.

I've put each fandom under its own cut.

Hello, dear Author!

First off, I'm easily delighted, so if you have an idea already please feel free to ignore this letter and run with it--I'm positive I will love whatever you come up with!

To reiterate what I don't want: no graphic violence (although canon-typical is fine) or smut, no incest, and please keep any AUs within the canon world--no coffee shop AUs or anything, please. Canon divergences are fine.

I'm not a super hardcore shipper, although if I like a pairing I'll mention it below--but genfic is great!

Hello, dear author!

First off, I'm very easy to please--if you already have an idea, please feel free to run with it. I'm certain I'll be delighted with whatever you come up with, whether you use any ideas from this letter or not. (:

However, I do not want: anything higher than an M rating--no smut, please. And I've asked for treats rather than tricks, so obviously I don't want anything particularly unpleasant. No excessive violence or gore, etc. I'm also not super into outlandish AU fic. So no coffee shops or anything, please.

Ship-wise: I'll mention particular ships that I like for particular characters, but in general I like canon ships; and to be honest, I'm just as, if not more, happy with genfic.

Thanks in advance! I can't wait to see what you come up with! (:

SILMARILLION
Elwing, Luthien, Melian, Emeldir, Rian of the House of Beor, Nellas, Uinen

Elwing, Luthien: Something set in Ossiriand, after Luthien and Beren relocate. Either before Dior comes along, or something with Luthien as the World's Best Grandma. For Elwing in particular, I love Elwing/Earendil, and I'm also very interested in what she gets up to in Valinor, when he's off doing his thing in the sky.

Emeldir: What happened to her after she led her people out of Dorthonion? Did she stay in Brethil, or move on to Dor-lomin with Morwen and Rian, etc?

Rian: The fact that I requested treats sort of requires any fic about her to take place prior to the Nirnaeth. Something from her courtship with Huor, or her relationship with Morwen and/or Morwen's children? Or, it would be interesting to read a canon-divergence fic in which she doesn't die. How would that change things? Would she make it to Gondolin with Tuor?

Nellas: I am a fan of Nellas/Nienor. Or I'd like a fic exploring what happened to Nellas after the fall of Doriath, and where she ended up afterward.

Uinen: I like Arien/Uinen, mostly for aesthetic fire vs water reasons. The Ainur in general interest me most pre-Elves, when they're working to shape the world.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS
Goldberry, Elrond, Elanor Gardner, Arwen, Galadriel, Celeborn, Celebrian, Eowyn, Faramir, Lady of the Blue Brooch, Dunedain Ranger

Goldberry, Lady of the Blue Brooch: I ship it, with intense curiosity as to who the Lady was (if you write this, please set it before Goldberry marries Tom). I'm also up for Goldberry the mischievous River-daughter playfully messing with anyone who happens upon her lily pool.

Elrond, Celebrian: Celebrian in Valinor, recovering and getting to know her various relatives would be lovely. Elrond, or Elrond & Celebrian together, acting as hosts to various peoples who come to Rivendell, also.

Arwen: Queen Arwen! In the north or in Gondor; and with her daughters.

Elanor Gardner: A fic set during her time at Aragorn and Arwen's court would be absolutely delightful.

Dunedain Ranger: This character tag just begs for an interesting OC. Bonus points for a lady ranger! Maybe one who remained in the north instead of going south with the Grey Company.

Galadriel, Celeborn: These two weren't an option in The Silmarillion, but I'd be interested in a fic about their courtship in Doriath. Or something from a later age; a quiet sort of gapfiller, when Galadriel isn't looking to conquer the world, or whatever, would be nice.

Eowyn, Faramir: I'd like to see something from one or both of these two settling down into their new roles post-War of the Ring, in Ithilien. Maybe interacting with the Elves that Legolas brings from the Greenwood? Neither of them have had much (any) interaction with them before, so that could be very interesting.

STAND STILL STAY SILENT

Lalli Hotakainen, Onni Hotakainen, Sigrun Eide, Emil Vasterstrom, Tuuri Hotakainen, Mikkel Madsen, Reynir Arnason

I have very few prompts for specific characters in this fandom. I'm interested in the backstories of everyone, except Reynir because we know his already, and in particular the Hotakainen family. Anything with Sigrun being the Most Best troll slayer would be a delight, as would a fic with Emil continuing to grow in both competence and confidence. Dreamworld shenanigans would also be delightful.
