Username: @colls
AO3 username, if you have one: colls
DNWs: Dark themes, power imbalances (ie. non-con, omegaverse, etc.) or overly explicit material.
Mediums that are OK: fic, podfic, vids, art, graphics, icons, fanmix, interactive fic
Mediums I don't want: n/a
General stuff I like:
For fic/podfic, I generally love happy, feel-good things. I like AUs, character pieces, getting-together fics, five things, crossovers, movie night, chance encounters, competence and/or book smarts, pretend-couple, slice of life, found family/teamy fic, friends to lovers, stuck in a snow storm, road trips, explosions, space battles, car chases, triumphing over evil, and general shenanigans.
For podfic, I've always enjoyed straightforward narrations without a lot of audio effects or voicing of characters - but am willing to be converted if you're interested in trying something new.
For vids, I tend to like action vids, recruitment vids, and character vids. I often adore vids to songs and/or genres I'm unfamiliar with and I'm VERY open to any style you're looking to vid.
For art, I like minimalistic styles. I also like technical-looking motifs (like schematics as a background). I like blues and greens and purples, I don't dislike any colors.

Fandom: Star Wars
Characters and/or Pairings: any female character(s)
Prompts/additional information: it's (still) a man's world, competence, downtime, space heist!

Fandom: Dark Winds (TV)
Characters and/or Pairings: Bernadette Manuelito
Prompts/additional information: her date with Elvis, Chee visits her at her new border job, Space!AU where she's still a badass... but in space

Fandom: any (space) fandoms
Characters and/or Pairings: any
Prompts/additional information: fanmix and/or vid recs. For a fanmix, I like found family feels, road trips aka. 'going on an adventure', overcoming odds, BFF-vibe. For vids, I tend to like action vids, recruitment vids, and character vids. Focusing on a space-fandom character would be awesome, general vibes also welcome.

Vid recs

[dickinsons]

I have a few vid recs you might like! These are all from space fandoms :)

The first is this vid about Susan Ivanova's 9 to 5. It's pretty fun!

Susan Ivanova's 9 to 5 | A Babylon 5 fanvid

Then there's this absolute classic, which you might already know, but I have to rec it just in case: Space Girl! A compilation of women in space canons throughout the years:

Space Girl

A fun Janeway vid!

The Dying Song - Kathryn Janeway

And I'm leaving this one for last because it gets dark so it might not be something you want to watch. It's a character study of Deanna Troi through everything she gets put through in Trek. There are warnings in the description of the vid if you need more details, but if you've watched TNG and the movies you know she went through a lot. Still, I think the vid is wonderful, so maybe you want to give it a try.

Losing my Mind - Deanna Troi

These all sound great - thank you for sharing these. A couple of them are new to me! <333

Here's some vid recs for space fandoms!

• Aja x Steve || Secrets Fandom: 3Below, the second part of the Tales of Arcadia series. Female Character: Aja Tarron, the crown princess-in-hiding of the planet Akiridion-V. Song: "Secrets" by One Republic
• Sigyn - The Bifrost Incident - The Mechanisms - Animatic Fandom: The Bifrost Incident, an album that combines Norse mythology and the Lovecraft mythos into the tale of a space train. Female Characters: Sigyn, the rebel leader of the Midgardian Resistance, and Loki, her supposedly-executed wife. Song: "Sigyn" by The Mechanisms

Thank you for these recs! I don't know either of these sources, but the vids are incredible and I'll certainly be seeking the movie(s) and the album from 'The Mechanisms' now.

Thank you!! So cool ;)

3Below is a Netflix cartoon and the second part of the Tales of Arcadia series. It has 3 shows (ranging from 10 to 52 episodes based on how Netflix keeps decreasing show length) and a movie finale, though I would recommend skipping the finale unless you like the fandom's two biggest dislikes of the movie:

Movie Spoilers

Canon dubcon rapid possibly underage mpreg.

Canon time-travel fix-it that retcons a significant portion of the series

As for the Mechanisms, this album changes their usual formatting. If you'd like to listen to a more normal album of theirs first, my personal favorite is Once Upon a Time (In Space)

Regardless, I hope you enjoy both fandoms!

[colls]

Once Upon a Time (In Space) - this TOTALLY sounds like my jam ;)

Happy international women's Day!

[colls]

Kh'ymm is amazing.

THANK YOU! <333

[kowhai]

[colls]
