crantzHi! I'm Rosencrantz on AO3 and thank you for reading my letter!
My DNWS are: dub/noncon and underage (sexual under 18/under 18, anything under 18/over 18)
My fandom specific DNWS are:
Pokemon: Human/Pokemon
Dinotopia: Anything that pushes Dinotopia into dystopia
My specific DNW note for Sailor Moon is:
I am aware of Usagi and Mamoru's relationship in regards to my underage DNW and to stick by this DNW, I ask only that you set anything happening in the story/meta you have written post-18 for Usagi if you go that way. You do not have to pretend canon didn't happen.
For every fandom, I have asked for fic and meta. This means I'm happy with narrative, documents, historical notes, any of the sort. If you want to blend fic and meta, I'm pleased to receive that. That's part of the reason I chose both, so you didn't have to worry about the dividing line. Though I did not ask for art and do not want that as the only fill, if you want to include illustrations that's perfectly fine with me! Any art skill is fine, because it's what the in universe character would be doing.
Likes: I enjoy adventures, academic notes (an exceptional fic I got one year was just book catalogue notes!), histories, ethnolographic style things, emotional interactions, families interacting, pets interacting, joyful things, spooky things, news reports, journal entries, letters to others.

Fandom: Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Main Video Game Series)
Prompts:
Fandom specific DNW: Human/Pokemon.
As you can see, my big interest is in ghosts for Pokemon. These are the specific ghosts I'm interested in for this prompt, but if you want to include a broader scope of ghost pokemon, as long as you feature something involving at least one of these in some form, I'll be happy. The entries for the ghost pokemon are just fascinating. I would love exploration into how these things are discovered about them in the first place!
Furthermore, ghosts even unintentionally can be fatal to trainers (like Greavard) - how do ghost specific trainers figure out how to deal with this? Who pioneered the techniques? Are there forums on this sort of thing?
Are there ghost specific pokemon scientists? I would like to suggest the last name Sakura or Cherry if you do that because of a common prompt in exchanges for a haunted cherry tree in the original fiction tags. This is not an obligation. Just a prompt.
What about the lives of the ghosts before they become pokemon? Sinstea dying alone, Greavard having never met a human. Bramblin's ghost being caught in a tumbleweed is hilarious and sad all at once.
How do we discover their traits? Houndstone is the most loyal of all dog pokemon!
There's human ghosts in the games that aren't pokemon at all. How do they fit in?

This covers more than just mutants - Inhumans? Kree? Chemical changes? Radiation? What does it all mean? How does it fit into the worldview of whoever you write this story about? What would be a sermon on the subject of powers? What about the cults that grow up around certain mutants? How does it relate to religions beyond Christanity which is the usual perspective in the comics?
How do you cope with having died and come back like so many characters have? How do you see it from an outside perspective? How do you counsel someone? How do you talk to someone who literally deals in the afterlife like Daimon Hellstrom and Ghost Rider?
Is there a metric for making sense of powers beyond 'vibes'? How do you distinguish mutants that seem to have mutated into other animals (Rahne, Catseye, Beast) to mutants with psychic style powers (Jean Grey, Empath, Destiny, Rogue with her ability to leech essence, Gambit with his ability to excite psychokinetic energy), to completely inexplicable like Colossus turning to steel, Goldballs, and that mutant from District X who sprouted living creatures based on his mental health?
What about powers that are passed on, like Captain Britain?
If your fic gets thrown out by canon in a week after posting, I promise I will actually make you a graphic badge to celebrate this.

Prompts:
I love these appendix stories! Helm Hammerhand's ghost story is so neat and I always wondered what happened to Beruthiel in the end. I'd love a story about the cats in their heyday or whether they left descendants in the world, about how Beruthiel interacted with them (not well judging from the one spy), and whether sentient cats were a thing elsewhere. I'd love a story about someone encountering the ghost of Helm and surviving (or not surviving), further ghost stories, did he have a Mearas of his own that may be involved? What did his ghost do when orcs marched on his land during the war of the ring? All sorts of things.
And I love the love Tolkien had for sentient animals! Wargs, spiders, rooks, eagles, crows, foxes, cats, Mearas, I love it all! I want to hear more about this. I want insights. From interviews with a specific animal, a ye olde biologist, or even a modern one in that world itself.

Prompts:
What's stuff that people in space do 'just in case' - do you always say 'thank you computer'? Do you always make sure that nothing is waiting for you on the holodeck once you're gone? What does a certain type of nebula mean? Are there ghost ships? Ghost stars? Ghost planets? What about how it's ALWAYS a mysterious energy being? Do Geordi and Data have any specific superstitions they follow? What's traditional on a spaceship? I know sailors are incredibly superstitious in fiction, so...
Someone pointed out something to me - Data was signed up on Starfleet. They didn't just add him after buying him at Radioshack. He was an enlisted officer and they tried to relabel him as farm equipment and I'd like to see that explored further. He's also not the only smart computer they've encountered in canon and I'd like to see this taken into account.
I chose the characters I did because Data and Geordi discussing it (especially after Data gets his emotion chip) is interesting to me as well as Geordi's interactions with Starfleet after the whole incident over what they tried to do to his best friend, things Data did to protect himself or discuss about new discoveries - but I also chose original and any if you want to create a new android, or from an outside perspective, or if you want to do the perspective of the people involved in the decision, the fallout, or other discoveries. Or whatever you want to do! These are just suggestions! I'm happy with wherever you want to take this, it's such a wide open prompt.

Prompts:
Fandom Specific DNW: Anything that pushes Dinotopia into dystopia
Basically my prompts here are just 'gimme that culture' with some guidelines to the sort of aspects of culture I'm interested in.
Since Dinotopia has come out, there's been a lot of new discoveries about dinosaurs! If you want to include any new discoveries, I'm perfectly happy with that.
The modern world prompt is one I think I need to elaborate on - Dinotopia takes place in our past, before major mapping tech and other discoveries. I was wondering what it would be like if Dinotopia was part of the modern world, the sort of discoveries it could allow modern people about our past and maybe the idea of little business compsognathuses with tiny briefcases going to their job on New York subways and stuff.
That one is tricky! I really would prefer if you don't have it devastate Dinotopia to be 'discovered', if you go with this plot. I'm an optimist and would prefer an optimistic view, no matter how much history has always screwed me over in this perspective.
Basically I don't want Jurassic Park.
I'm also really interested in how it might relate to how elephants and great apes are treated because the non-human creatures of Dinotopia with intelligence are treated as equal beings in that world. What if that bled out for the rest of the world? What would that be like?

After a bit in the manga, you just never hear about their families anymore. And Usagi grew up with parents and a brother, Mercury has her mother she worries about, Rei has her grandfather and issues with her father, Venus has her own family, etc, etc, and I was wondering how they deal with the revelations that their daughters are space princesses and what happens next after the moon kingdom comes back into power. What sort of life do they have? How do they connect with the duality of these girls? What happens to them?
It's something I wonder about a lot.
I'd also like to know what happens to Earth when things just change so drastically. From as major to world politics to as minor as some poor astronomer finding out that the giant space rock was *not* what she was thinking all this time.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a wonderful exchange!
