Star Trek Holidays 2024 Letter

peasinaDear creator,
Yay, it's![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
startrekholidays time! Thank you so much for checking out my letter.
As may be obvious, I love Deanna! 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 ever character. If you feel inspired to create something for me that blends the mediums I’ve requested in some way, please go for it (e.g., podvid.) I’d also love fic treats despite not requesting that medium officially.
***DNWs: crossovers (even with other Trek series), genderswaps, readerfic (readerART is fine, e.g., the viewer of the art interacting with Deanna somehow), 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)
I'm requesting podfic, art, and vids for all requests. Here are some of my likes in those mediums:

Deanna Troi & None
Art Thoughts
- Deanna in her Durango getup (from A Fistful of Datas) looking hot af. Maybe she's flicking her cigarette ash. I have a smoking kink, so I'd love to see some tendrils of smoke curling up from her mouth or whatever she's smoking, gulp. Kneeling on the floor POV looking up at Durango?? Her telling the viewer to clean her boots? Ahhh!
- Similar to above, Deanna in the Captain's Chair, kneeling POV? Haha, how did this become a viewer/Deanna prompt XD
- Deanna painting her nails, or being pampered while someone else does them at the salon (maybe the POV of the person painting them for her! Alien hands holding hers and drawing the brush down them? Ooh!)
- Deanna getting messy. She's always so put together, so let's see her with her hair down, maybe scrambling to put her uniform on in the morning, toothbrush sticking out her mouth, commbadge beeping somewhere on the floor ^^
- Art nouveau style art with Deanna looking gorgeous. Perhaps she's nude with some carefully placed plants/flowers around her. Maybe she's wearing a beautiful flowing dress. Could be a Betazoid wedding!!
- Deanna body pillow design. *goes to hide in the bushes*
- Pin-up inspired!
- Deanna with a Pokemon of your choice. Ignore my crossover DNW for this one!
- Deanna screaming, hands outstretched, blasting away something with only the power of her mind.
Podfic Thoughts
If you find a Deanna story to podfic for me, I'm happy for absolutely any other TNG characters to be included, as long as Deanna is the focus. I'd prefer only & relationships for this request, but some Deanna/Riker is fine (they're lovely.)
2️⃣ Deanna... squared! 2️⃣
The Goddess of Empathy/Deanna Troi
Art Thoughts
Podfic Thoughts
There isn't much in their tag (and it's not yet been canonised 🥲), but I'd suggest this awesome fic: A Healthy Fantasy Life by pauraque (1,6k, explicit.) If you want to go above and beyond and write and podfic something for this pairing, I'd be tickled pink.
Fanvid Thoughts
There isn't very much footage of the Goddess, though that might be a fun challenge! I love seeing them facing off, and all the lovely lighting and colours when the Goddess is on screen. Some kind of visual/audio soundscape would also be so cool. Trickling stream, wind in the leaves, the Goddess' voice echoing on the breeze. Something slow and calming would be lovely. Though I'd also be interested in something heavy and angsty, seeing as Deanna doesn't like her holodeck clone very much! Anything you come up with will be exciting for me :D
👯♀️ Deanna + Other lovely ladies 👯♀️
Katherine Pulaski & Deanna Troi
Guinan & Deanna Troi
Ro Laren & Deanna Troi
Deanna Troi & Tasha Yar
Deanna Troi & Lwaxana Troi
Art Thoughts
Art Prompts:
- Pulaski & Deanna exhausted after caring for a patient, or currently caring for someone both physically and mentally. Teamwork!
- Guinan & Deanna, back to back, the listener and the counsellor, strength, harmony, being there for each other.
- Guinan & Deanna, Deanna is injured and Guinan is holding/soothing her. Guinan shielding Deanna with her body or vice versa.
- Ro & Deanna: Deanna carrying an unconscious Ro, perhaps there's been an explosion on the Enterprise or she's saving her from some alien planet. Ro clinging to Deanna.
- Ro & Deanna: Deanna is injured and Ro is standing before her, shielding, fending off a foe with a phaser. Protectiveness. Ripped uniforms! Smoke and shadows!
- Deanna & Tasha: Tasha resting/asleep with her head on Deanna's lap. Maybe she's come to the counsellor's office for her session and this is all that came of it - but that's okay! Deanna has a safe space for her to rest.
- Deanna & Lwaxana: dancing together on Betazed, sharing some Betazoid dish (you can make it up haha), being held apart by Mr. Homn!
- Deanna & Lwaxana: Lwaxana carrying her adult daughter to safety or protecting her from another, especially if this involves her telepathy. Perhaps Lwaxana mentally shielding Deanna from telepathic interference or overwhelm (I'm not sure how this might look visually, but maybe some kind of forcefield?)
- Deanna & Lwaxana: Deanna standing up for her mother while she's upset.
There seems to be a theme here XD I love hurt/comfort and protectiveness!
Podfic Thoughts
Anything you find to podfic for these pairs would be appreciated and a wonderful surprise. For anything featuring Lwaxana, I'd prefer she not be portrayed as annoying or a nuisance all the way through the story (Deanna can definitely be frustrated with her though!) A happy ending or something light/uplifting with Lwaxana is where my heart lies. I love it when they communicate telepathically. Same thing with Pulaski actually. I'd prefer not to have a podfic gift where she's portrayed negatively - she rocks!
For Guinan, Ro, and Tasha, I like a bit of angst 👌 I love them helping each other through things (and Deanna appearing only in her counsellor role is a-okay.) I love their personalities clashing, or not. Pre-femslash is also great! Though I'd prefer a gen story, or feelings realisation type fics, to purely shippy content.
Fanvid Thoughts
I'm honestly not sure where to start with these pairs in the fanvid sense. My only preference would be that a vid focus on just one of these pairs and not all of them in one vid (i.e., no "ladies of TNG" type vids). I love it in vids where a pair gets mashed together with scenes they're not even in together in the show XD Like, oh so Guinan isn't looking at Q here, she's looking across Ten Forward at Deanna... 👀 I love vids that have me looking at scenes in a new way.

Data & Deanna Troi (TNG)
Data/Deanna Troi
Frank Hollander/Deanna Troi
Yes!!! The empath and the android, what a pair, I love them so much.
Art Thoughts
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.
***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.
***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 💚

Fanvid Thoughts
I want to see her. That is all. XD 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
2️⃣ Deanna... squared! 2️⃣
The Goddess of Empathy/Deanna Troi
How could I not love double Deanna? 💚
Art Thoughts
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.
- Smutty art! (I like clothed sex, cunnilingus (especially through uniform/clothes), 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!

Yes!!! The empath and the android, what a pair, I love them so much.
Art Thoughts
Art 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/shields 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 Thoughts
Podfic Thoughts
As with all my podfic requests, anything you find to podfic for me will be appreciated! If I might suggest a work of my own to podfic, it's Uncover by flowerdeluce (5,4k, teen). Podfic of my own works are by no means the only thing I'd like to receive!
This author doesn't have permissions on their profile, but this fic might be my most favourite in the world and was originally a gift for me, so if you don't mind asking permission... I might just die of happiness to hear this one read aloud!
Fanvid Thoughts
I would LOVE to see a Hollander/Deanna vid, ahhhhh! Durango (Deanna's Ancient West alter ego) is so hot I just awgsjdfhdhjthjltje!!!!1! Please let me see them interacting and it being dangerous, sexy, or dramatic. Interspersed with shots of Deadwood. Maybe even stealing some Wild West scenes from something else to bulk out the worldbuilding. Extending the world they share. Forcing them to interact more by scene-smushing. Ahhh, I'd be ecstatic.
As for the & pairing, Deanna and Data are my favourite characters from TNG, so I'd honestly be happy to see them interacting in any way. Go with your heart!
