Star Trek Holidays 2023 Letter

[peasina]

Dear creator,

Happy startrekholidays! I’m so glad you’re here checking out my letter. Thank you for creating for me if you’ve been assigned to me (or are pinch hitting!), or for treating me if you’re so inclined. You're the best.

As may be obvious from my signup, I love Deanna and Data! I also love podfic, art, and fanvids, and I’m excited I’ll have something to listen to or look at over the holidays that features my favourite TNG characters. If you feel inspired to create something for me that blends the mediums I’ve requested in some way, please go for it. I’d also love fic treats despite not requesting that medium officially.

***DNWs: crossovers (even with other Trek series), genderswaps, readerfic, trans headcanons, stories/art focusing on breast/nipple play, poetry (unless it's Data's terrible poetry!), setting-change AUs (e.g., college/university AU), soulmate AUs, mundane AUs (e.g., coffee shop)

Note: I’ve previously included ‘explicit podfic’ as a DNW in exchanges. For these ships and characters, I’m comfortable with explicit podfic if you are, so feel free to gift those to me if that’s how you roll.

MEDIUM LIKES

***Podfic Likes:

• Gen to mature rated stories.
• Background music or sounds/ambience throughout – There’s something about background noise that really sharpens my focus. Example: something set on the Enterprise having ship engine ambience throughout.
• SFX & soundscapes – From having a sound indicate section/chapter breaks to reproducing sounds mentioned in the story, I’ll love it. (I also love podfics without SFX, so don’t feel like you have to include them.)
• Repods – If you find something you’d think I’d like but it’s been recorded before (even by me or as a gift for me) please don’t feel like you can’t gift it to me.
• Podfics with streaming options – My setup makes downloading tricky, so I’d appreciate being able to stream my gift if possible.
• Unconventional formats – Epistolary, mission reports, meta & essays, etc. (Note: I’m not keen on oral not!fic.)
• Image descriptions – If there’s imagery/art in the work you record, I’d love to hear a description of it. The more detailed the better.
• Whispered/ASMR style recordings.

 

***Art Likes:

• Bright colours and patterns.
• Pastel palettes.
• Purple is my favourite colour, if that helps!
• Tarot card style – using a pose/scene from an existing card or creating something new are both awesome.
• Orange/autumnal palettes, from bright popping oranges to more muted earthy tones.
• Art featuring flowers/plants, whether as a background element, incorporated into a frame, being given as a gift, worn as a flower crown, or maybe the characters are just walking in the arboretum.
• Smutty art! Full frontal? Suggestive? I want it all :-D
• Focus on a character’s hair, especially Deanna’s.
• Canon uniform/costume details.

***Fanvid Likes:

• Lyrics or text overlays.
• No dialogue over music. (I prefer either no dialogue or the music to be lowered for dialogue.)
• Slow transitions.
• Playing with or reframing narratives.
• Song choice: female vocals 💚

ART AND/OR PODFIC REQUESTS

The Goddess of Empathy/Deanna Troi

 

How could I not love double Deanna? 💚

 

Podfic suggestion:

A Healthy Fantasy Life by pauraque (1,6k, explicit)

 

Art prompts:

- Something sensual, full of flowers, draping silks, and long flowing curls.

- The Goddess floating down a stream like Millais’ Ophelia while Deanna watches from the bank.

- Kissing! 

- Hair touching/brushing/washing/worship.

- Deanna practices hair braiding on the Goddess. Maybe she's made a flower crown for her too.

- Deanna kneeling for the Goddess in the lush gardens of the holodeck. (Cunnilingus with one standing and one kneeling is a huge love of mine!)

- Smutty art! (I like clothed sex, cunnilingus, strap-ons, fingering, finger sucking. I will swoon forever if they have dark pubic hair in your art *praying emoji*)

- Deanna angrily topping the Goddess when she needs to blow off steam.

- A tarot card of them together or some kind of mirror/reversed cards of them separate.

- A lot of the scenes in Barclay’s holodeck program are inspired by art. Give me some Deanna/Goddess inspired by some art you love!

 

Data/Christopher Hobson

 

There’s something about their antagonism that captivates me, and I want more!

 

Podfic suggestions:

Either of the Data/Hobson fics by SubstandardParts would be fun (2.5k & 4.3k, explicit)

 

Art prompts:
- A Data and Hobson face off!
- Uniform grabbing (by either of them.)
- Hobson kneeling for Data, for whatever reason.
- Data carrying an injured Hobson. Perhaps they're on an away mission?
- Kissing!
- Hobson performing oral on Data while he's in the captain's chair.
- Hobson being pushed over a console by Data and made to obey.

Data/Kivas Fajo

 

Podfic suggestion:
Chipped by firecat (4k, explicit)

Art prompts:

- Kivas putting a collar on Data. (Could be an illustration of my fic here maybe!)
- Inappropriate touches.
- Data’s purple outfit, covered in Kivas’s blood. Did Data enjoy it?
- Kivas using his proximity device on Data and enjoying it a little too much.
- Data getting his own back on Kivas and... enjoying it a little too much, hehe.
- Kivas lifting Data's head by his chin while Data kneels at his feet. 
- Data being forced to perform oral on Kivas.
- Illustrate a scene from this fic by paraque?

ART REQUESTS

 

Frank Hollander/Deanna Troi

 

Prompts:

- Frank using his height to intimidate Deanna as Durango.
- Fucking in one of the cells or over the sheriff’s desk.
- Frank using his strength to overpower Deanna.
- Deanna touching Frank's lovely clothes, maybe twisting his watch chain in her fingers.
- Deanna being made to perform oral on Frank at the sheriff's desk.
- Kissing!
- Deanna kneeling, on all fours, or held to the ground with Frank's boot on her back.
- Anything that uses scenery or locations from Deadwood in the art.

 

Data/Deanna Troi

 

Prompts:

- A distressed Deanna gets cuddle or comfort from Data.
- Deanna is surprised she can sense emotion from Data and is mesmerised, touching his face. 

- Data with his head in Deanna's lap while attending counselling with her.
- Deanna giving Data a practical demonstration of things he's curious about (sex, kissing, female anatomy?) 

- Something made them do it? Sex pollen attacks the ship again? Fake relationship on a mission? Let's see them either resisting or giving into the temptation!
- Stranded on a planet, Data protects/sheilds Deanna from something (weather, creatures, locals?) with his body.
- Data carrying an injured or fainted Deanna.

- Data kneeling and performing cunnilingus on Deanna while she's standing, maybe one leg hooked over his shoulder?
- Smut! Any and all! Pegging would be super, but anything you enjoy drawing really.
PODFIC REQUESTS

Data & Deanna Troi

 

As with all my podfic requests, anything you find to podfic for me will be appreciated! The suggestions I've listed here are by no means the only thing I'd like to receive. I also love short pods, so if you're writing and podding something for me, shorter stories are very welcome.

 

Podfic suggestions:

Uncover by flowerdeluce (that’s me!) (5,4k, teen)

 

Data & Lore & Noonian Soong

 

Podfic suggestion:

Stories from Omicron Theta by peasina (👋) (1.3k, gen)

 

FANVID REQUESTS

Deanna & None

 

I want to see her. That is all.

More seriously, I love fanvids and would love to see Deanna being celebrated in one. Perhaps it's a collection of all the times she suffers so prettily, or saves the day with her empathic abilities. Maybe it's the love interests she's had or focused on a Deanna pairing/relationship you like. It could be something episode related (pick your favourite Deanna episode!) Wherever your muse takes you, please follow it! I'd be delighted with a vid that's dark, fluffy, fun, sexy, anything! What about a selection of all the amazing outfits Deanna's worn over the years?

 

I suck at understanding music genres, but I like electronic sounding stuff, dreamy instrumentals, things that sound sci-fic or magical/ethereal, songs sung by women(!), and songs about women. I've found some great music through fanvids, so if you have a song in mind that works for Deanna, I'm bound to love it.

Song suggestions, if they're helpful:
- Atmosphere by Rhea Raj

- Flawless by Studio Killers (the instrumental is good too)
- Take Me To Mars by Xenia

- Spaceship Gurl by StayLoose
- Where the Moon Hides by GARZA and EMELINE
- Stero Liza by King Plague
