Elemental Logic - Laurie J. Marks
Zanja na'Tarwein, Karis G'deon
I nominated this series because it is criminally underrated, while being among the best queer fiction in print. I can’t say enough about the delicacy and originality of the magic system. I love the complexity of our heroines, and the practical, steadfast way they work for a long-awaited peace. I love these books so much that I have been hosting a year-long fandom event for them (shaftal.tumblr.com is where to find that)
I’d like a story about Zanja and Karis helping each other with a difficult problem, which could be set any time after the end of Fire Logic. I didn’t request any other characters, but I also nominated Clement and Seth--if you have read Earth Logic and like them as much as I do, you are welcome to give them large supporting roles. I’m also happy to see Zanja and Karis’s whole family in small supporting roles. Maybe Zanja must represent the interests of some Border People to Shaftal, but their needs are very different from the Ashawala’i? Maybe Karis must resolve the situation with the Basdown cow dogs? Maybe Ocean’s successor makes herself known?

A League of Their Own (TV 2022)
Carson Shaw, Maxine "Max" Chapman, Lupe García
Such a thoughtful show about women trying to realize their ambitions in a world full of closed doors. And all these queer heartbreakers, with so much shipping possibility!
I’d like a story where Max and Lupe meet, and Carson is a catcher trying to mediate between two pitchers. There’s a ton of tension to explore in how she relates to each of them, and I’m interested in how they would see each other as well. I would be happy to see that tension turn intimate in any combination you’d enjoy writing (I ship all three pairings of these three), but deep platonic feelings are also great! If you want to write about all three of them in one relationship, I prefer that stories about poly triads emphasize the individual connections that make up the polycule, rather than reducing the triad to its macro view.

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Evelyn Wang (EEAaO)
What a movie! The immigration themes and the complex parent-child relationship are my favorite parts. For this fandom, I think the stranger and more abstract the fic, the better. Feel free to try out unusual writing styles and disjointed plots, go wild! I’m interested in seeing even more possibilities for what the relationships (of all kinds) in Evelyn’s life could be like, especially who Joy and Dierdre might be to her in other universes.
Suggested prompts: What if Evelyn and Dierdre’s divorces happen at the same time, and that is how they meet? What if Joy moves to a different country to pursue academic success? What if Evelyn worked for the IRS?

Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon)
T'Lyn (ST: LD), Beckett Mariner (ST: LD)
Somehow Lower Decks managed to be the perfect Star Trek series, consistently funny and interesting and deep.
Suggested prompt: T’Lyn is transferred to the Cerritos. How does it go? Will Mariner recognize her for the elite Bad Girl she is?

Last Night at the Telegraph Club - Malinda Lo
Lily Hu, Kathleen "Kath" Miller
I nominated this book for its beautiful depiction of first love and erotic awakening, the loneliness of being multiply marginalized, and the power of collecting images and stories that reflect your queerness back at you in some way.
I’d find a post-canon story interesting--do Lily and Kath stay in love? Will they have a chance to build a home together like Tommy and Lana? Where are they when Kath gets her pilot’s license? Where are they during the moon landing? If they remain a couple, does Kath actually grow up to be butch, and does Lily like the femme role or is it uncomfortable for her? Does Lily try out a nonconforming gender expression of her own?

The Priory of the Orange Tree - Samantha Shannon
Eadaz du Zāla uq-Nāra, Sabran Berethnet
I nominated this book for its beautiful writing and empowered women. Ead’s outlook on life is just so good!
Suggested prompts: During their time apart, what do Ead and Sabran write to each other about? Leading up to the final battle, how does Ead approach training Tané, who is presumably her first student of magic? (Does Sabran help her plan lessons?) When Ead comes home to take up the mantle of Prioress, how is she received? (Does she need Sabran to comfort her when someone doesn’t accept her authority?)
