Hi! I wanna try to write more each day, even if it's just small blurbs or pairing I might not typically write or think about (: I still reserve the right to say no, of course, but to make it easier, I wanted to compile a list of what I won't write/am willing to write. My ao3 -> darthkote
Below are the guidelines to help you craft a prompt that aligns with my writing preferences.
Minors DNI.
Content I Am Willing to Write
Stories rated GA to E.
Pairings of any gender or sexual identity. If you would like narrator/characters to use varying pronouns than those used in Canon, mention it!
Violence, gore, smut, where appropriate for the plot/prompt.
AUs grounded in realism within Star Wars Canon or Legends.
Canon compliant stories (I'll do my best to stay away from fanon if you so wish!)
Clone-shipping
Hurt/Comfort, angst, whump.
Polycules. Platonic, romantic, etc.
X reader. Won't use "y/n"
Content I Will Not Write
Underage characters in sexual situations.
Modern AU. Just not into it, I'm sorry.
Basically, feel free to request anything that falls into these guidelines. If something not listed makes me uncomfortable or disinterests me, I will address it directly as it arises.
Critical Details for Prompts
When submitting your prompt, consider the following elements to help guide the story:
1. Core Concept
What is the central idea or “what if” scenario?
2. Characters
Which characters are the focus?
Are there specific relationships to explore (e.g., romantic, platonic, familial)?
Any characters you’d like excluded?
3. Setting and Timeline
Where does the story take place (e.g., a specific planet, ship, or environment)?
When does it occur in the Star Wars timeline?
Note: I haven’t fully explored the Imperial Era or beyond yet. As I watch more, I will remove this note to reflect that! I have finished TBB and have not moved forward. I am progressing in timeline order in my own time. + Have watched the og trilogy.
4. Tone and Themes
What kind of tone should the story have (e.g., lighthearted, angsty, hopeful)?
Are there specific themes (e.g., redemption, survival, found family) to explore?
Click here for SFW and here for NSFW.
5. Plot Details
Are there key events or plot points you'd like included?
Should the story be action-heavy, dialogue-driven, or a balance of both?
6. Relationships
Specify the type of relationship dynamics (e.g., slow burn romance, mentor-apprentice, camaraderie).
Include whether relationships are romantic, platonic, or unrequited, etc.
7. Style and Structure
Do you have a preferred POV (e.g., first-person, third-person limited)?
Length preference (e.g., short drabble, one-shot, multi-chapter epic)?
8. Canon and AUs
Should the story adhere to Star Wars Canon or Legends, or can it diverge?
If AU, how far does it deviate?
9. Visuals and Atmosphere
Do you have specific imagery or sensory details in mind?
Example: “A dreamlike sequence during Obi-Wan’s meditation.”
10. Dialogue or Scenes
Any specific dialogue or moments to include?
Example: “Have Cody reflect on his scars during a quiet moment.”
11. Avoidances and Triggers
Are there topics, elements, or scenarios you’d like avoided?

13. Ending
Specify what type of ending you envision (e.g., happy, tragic, open-ended).
Note:
These are just guidelines—you don’t need to include every single detail when making a request. However, please keep in mind my personal boundaries.
Me [rewatching tcw]: aw I always loved these characters even tho they were technically villains, their designs are so unique, let me look into them a little bit [thinking others would think the same]
Others:
Anyway I especially LOVE Ione/her design, and I'd like to see more of her species. Cassie is really cool too, though I can see how her design could be more improved. The og concept art *is* pretty awesome tho
Ione → her hands, her eyes 🥺 idk I think it's cool they went for a vertical shape instead of the usual horizontal or buggishly round. Plus her color is 😚🤌🏻 also I think the sharp teeth are a nice contrast to how soft-spoken she is. + I think Fish was an intentional choice. (insert RPDR gif)
Cassie → she kinda reminds me of Asajj and Trill (from the Dawn of the Jedi – Legends – comics), in the sense I always saw potential for them to have a change of heart + the hair design reminds me a bit of Trill's.
Anyway, I like that she's lanky and tall (in that way, I'm reminded of Aurra Sing - specifically her hands). I wish they'd stayed more true to her original design (especially in terms of her clothing, but maybe that has smth to do with the fact TCW was aired on Cartoon Network?) + she's very reminiscent of a certain Sith's original design (ahem, Maul), is she not?
AND the markings on her arms/chest are super cool, which is partly why I wish she was wearing shorts instead of those long boots, it'd be cool to see if she has some there. Like, are they more similar to Zabrak or Mirialan tattoos that are intentionally designed and added to the body, or do they develop naturally like the markings Togruta have?)
The best thing is they were queer characters. Yeah, maybe their designs were a lil rough around the edges but still pretty fascinating imo! I like the fact they're so different - anatomically and design-wise. + I think it fits the whole theme of queerness. (Hello, Queer Villain Trope. Dr. Frank N. Furter, Ursula, Hades, etc. And also the Queer Urge™️ to empathize with monsters/ugly creatures bc.. well, the vilification of Queerness through history.)
^ this final artwork of them wasn't released until 2018 in the book titled Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious by Pablo Hidalgo. Which, looking at all three characters' body posture, does make me wonder whether there was a poly situation going on lol, at least Nack might have thought so. Clearly, based on the episode's plot, Ione and Cassie weren't so keen on that idea.
So many questions come up for me as I think about these two characters, I'd really like to see more of their species in SW content, even if they're just bg characters. Or learning about these specific characters' pasts would be nice, but I might be the only person who has ever said that...
I was just thinking about them again, and thought I'd made a post about them. Whether or not anyone else finds them interesting, I'm glad they canonically exist in the Galaxy.
and yeah, I got angry when Cassie held the Twi'lek mother and daughter hostage at the end of the episode, but overall I just think they deserve more attention. My head canon: they get rehabilitated and once free live on a planet far away from Coruscant, never to bother anyone again, lessons learned.
