weakinteractionI'm so glad this exchange is back! I've tried to keep my requests a little bit more under control than last year (and I'll be honest, a lot of this letter is direct copypasta), but I'm still very excited by the whole thing.
On the details side, my AO3 name is also weakinteraction and I am requesting fic, art or vid for all of the pairings here.
General likes
I am, in general, up for any format, rating, or genre. Tropes-wise, I am particularly fond of canon-divergent AUs, people with issues relating to identity (in the sense of things like secret identities and amnesia) and telepathy. In terms of relationship dynamics, I like all sorts of things but particularly: friends-to-lovers, friends-with-benefits, enemies-to-lovers, lovers-to-enemies(-who-are-maybe-occasionally-still-lovers-against-their-better-judgement), loyalty kink, and you-and-me-against-the-universe sorts of situations. If you're going down the smutty route, I am fine with most kinks except for a few exceptions listed in the DNWs below.
In terms of things I like in Star Wars in particular, I am always here for pilots and their ships, lightsabers, galactic politics/diplomacy and weird alien planets (either in-keeping-with-the-films single biome efforts or ones that try to be more "realistic"). I tend to find that I can take or leave the intricacies of the internal bureaucracy of evil organisations (e.g. the Empire/First Order), but I am so here for the Dark Side in terms of fallen Jedi abusing the trust of their former friends and stuff like that so "X goes Dark Side" AUs (or in terms of KotOR, taking the Dark Side ending) are very welcome. If you're going down the smutty route, any and all types of Force Sex are good with me.
(If you go browsing through my other letters, you might see I often mention time travel in this section; weirdly, I'm not really that keen on it for Star Wars.)
General likes for art
I do like use of light and shade in a picture, and interesting Easter-egg-y type stuff going on in the background (if there is one). I am also up for reinterpretations into different art styles (e.g. chibi versions of the characters, or what they'd look like if they were in a retro computer game, that sort of thing).
General art prompts: An action scene that's a snapshot from an adventure, the characters in the middle of kicking ass. (Two characters back to back with their lightsabers/blasters out, for instance.) Goofy hijinks when they're off-duty. Little moments of intimacy: stolen kisses, hurt/comfort type stuff (but please not too much on the hurt front), that sort of thing. And, er, I have no problem at all with NSFW art.
General likes for fic
Overall, I am honestly very easy to please; I genuinely like pretty much all types of fic, from humorous vignettes, to angsty introspection, to twisty plotty adventure stories, and all points in between. I do like to make a positive point of the fact that fic-wise I'm always up for non-standard formats, anything from epistolatory or verse through to stories presented through documentary evidence, 1st/2nd person, present/future tense, IF, etc. etc. Again, if it works for what you want to do, I'll lap it up. (This is not to say that I don't enjoy reading third person, past tense, because I definitely do! I just don't want you to be put off doing other things if your inspiration takes you in that direction.)
General fic prompts: Being guided by the Force in a way that isn't quite what they expected. Getting to know each other better while on a mission/escaping from prison/etc. Down time in an exotic environment. Hurt/comfort. Helping each other to be strong.
General likes for vids
When it comes to vids I like interesting/surprising/amusing juxtapositions (either between one scene and the next or between what's happening and the music), and having fun with pacing (e.g. the cuts getting faster and faster towards the end before slowing down again). I am very broad-minded in my musical taste; I would much rather go with the music you think fits than have a vid shoehorned in to my favourite song if you're not feeling it. And to be honest, my "favourite song" is something which changes on about an hourly basis. That said, if you do want to know, the two places my music collection/Youtube playlist gravitates towards most strongly are British indie circa 1995-1997 (I hesitate to use the term "Britpop" but, yeah, basically Britpop) and female singer-songwriters from the last decade or so.
General vid prompts: Action (a pairing against the universe? lovers-to-enemies types doing battle?). Longing looks. Sweeping landscapes. Star Wars-y wipe transitions.
Do Not Wants
I've subdivided my prompts into various sections, some of them more obviously connected than others.
Aphra femslash
Requests: Chelli Lona Aphra/Sana Starros, Chelli Lona Aphra/Captain Tolvan
Aphra rapidly became my new Star Wars fave when I finally caught up with the Darth Vader comics. I love how spiky she is, her hidden depths, her ability to bullshit her way through pretty much any situation, and her reluctant moments of something approaching morality. With Sana, I'd be interested in exploration of either their backstory, their future or something roughly parallel to what's currently going on in canon. With Tolvan, I'd be interested in either a reluctant team up or one or other of them getting the upper hand (Tolvan blackmailing and/or capturing Aphra seems fairly obvious, but I think Aphra's work with Vader must have given her some sort of insight into how to mess around with the Imperial hierarchy).
Rey femslash
Requests: Jessika Pava/Rey, Rey/Devi, Phasma/Rey, Rey/Original Female Character(s)
I can't put my finger on why I tend towards gay!Rey but I came out of my very first viewing of TFA shipping Rey/Jess despite their never meeting, and when I read Before the Awakening I definitely wanted Rey/Devi to be a thing. Phasma/Rey has a lot of possibilities: Phasma's a Resistance spy all along, reluctant team up on a dangerous planet, Rey going undercover in the First Order, etc. If you go down the OFC route, I am up for all sorts of possibilities there (including non-humans): a dignitary from a neutral planet that the Resistance needs something from, some other awakened Jedi she and Luke found, a Resistance trooper/medic/technician/etc., or anything else you come up with.
KotOR
Juhani/Female Revan, Dustil Onasi/Mission Vao
I literally never get tired of Juhani/Revan, and in fact my last several playthroughs have all been as Female Revan so that I can get what minimal shippy content there is. There's a mirroring thing going on with them, given that Revan initially meets Juhani when the Council are trying to make a point to her about the dangers of the Dark Side. However, there's also history given the revelation that it was Revan, on the way through Taris, who inspired Juhani to become a Jedi in the first place. I'd be up for things like: helping each other stay on the Light Side, post-canon missions, Dark Side Revan turning Juhani at the Temple instead of killing her. Art-wise, them fighting with lightsabers (either each other, or back-to-back or a similar pose against various enemies) would be great.
Dustil/Mission on the other hand is one of those "never thought of that until I saw it in the tag set" but now I want it. Again, there are lots of directions this pairing could go in: anything from angsty responses to the events of canon (they're both from planets that were bombarded into dust by Malak, after all), to a Dustil who stayed Sith corrupting Mission on purpose to twist the knife further, to wacky comedy about how weird it is that Carth is now Mission's prospective father-in-law (add Revan -- either male or female -- as step-parent-in-law as well if you want).
Obsessions
Requests: Leia Organa/Xizor, Poe Dameron/Terex
I've grouped these two pairings together because they're both ones where the antagonist character has a creepy but charismatic thing going on, and seem obsessed with the other half of the pairing ... who doesn't seem un-obsessed back, if that makes sense. I'm definitely up for darker stuff here (e.g. I am more than OK with all the skeevy dubconny my-pheremones-are-sex-pollen stuff associated with Xizor) but could equally well go for them being turned by the power of love/being a double agent all along/whatever makes it work as a non-enemy thing.
I really don't have a good clasification for this one
Request: BB-8/BB-9e
I really am up for anything here, though I suppose what I mostly picture is them grappling on to each other and trying to override each other's programming. Presumably they're both very similar (qualified exception to my incest DNW here: if you want to portray this sort of thing in terms of them being related, go right ahead) but have had their own upgrades. I would definitely be up for off-the-wall portrayals of how droids experience the world (in any of fic/art/vid form).
On the details side, my AO3 name is also weakinteraction and I am requesting fic, art or vid for all of the pairings here.

Do Not Wants
- character or ship bashing
- Rey turning out to be related to anyone we already know (mostly because all the main candidates are people I don't want to turn out to be responsible for her being abandoned on Jakku)
- non-canon-divergent AUs (canon-divergent ones, on the other hand, are a big yes as mentioned above)
- children in danger/being harmed ("on screen", as it were; generic "well, yes, that planet they're about to blow up probably does have children on it" situations are fine)
- incest
- people under 16 having sex
- watersports/scat/emetophilia/bloodplay
- violent non-con (coercion/mind control/etc. are fine, especially of the science fictional variety)
I've subdivided my prompts into various sections, some of them more obviously connected than others.
