Fandoms: NOS4A2 (TV 2019), Lovecraft Country (TV), Star Trek Cats - Jenny Parks
I would love to receive worldbuilding for these canons! Whether it's the magical/science-fiction/horror/historical combo in Lovecraft Country, the way the power of the Creatives works in NOS4A2, or the "Star Trek but all the humanoid species were always cats" in Star Trek Cats, I would enjoy seeing that worked in and being important to a story about my requested characters.
Prompts: These are prompts from my letter which relate to worldbuilding. Spoilers for both NOS4A2 and Lovecraft Country, especially the first.
NOS4A2 - I’d love something about Vic reconnecting with her powers, and also exploring them. Between the backstories we see and the way they come with a price, it seems like being a Creative is tied to pain and loss, and this is part of why she doesn’t want to try to go deeper into that at the end, but maybe she can find a way to reapproach them in a different context? I’d love to see her dealing with them, and possibly learning more about/expanding them. We see other Creatives not being tied to an immediate, obvious use of their powers--Maggie can use her tiles to discover information, but she can also use it to go to other worlds by the end, and Charlie’s powers involve not just creating a place he can bring people to, but seeing into people’s minds when it comes to their childhoods and stealing souls with a car that’s an extension of himself--what would that look like for Vic? What skills might she develop, and what sort of actions could she take, if she developed her talent and her understanding of it?
Ghosts! I am satisfied with the appearances the show had, but would be happy to see more. Maybe Craig could appear to Vic (with or without Wayne as well), or she could see her father. I would like to see her meet Cassie too; I like the running theme of the women Charlie went after (Cassie, Millie, and Jolene, in one way or another) helping Vic work against his designs--or just working against his designs, in the case of Cassie. How does this ghost thing work exactly? We see two ghosts, who died in the back of the car, but in the case of Craig he can’t seem to leave it, while for Cassie it’s the house. It seems like part of it is that the house is the back of Charlie’s mind, which he isn’t even aware of (being as out of touch with reality and self-knowledge as he is); so did he move her there because he doesn’t want to think about her, while Craig stayed in the car because Charlie didn’t care about him? Given that he couldn’t see Craig either, would Vic be able to see Cassie?
Lovecraft Country - I like the way the period setting interacts with the sff aspects, both with them baked into the historical horrors and with things like Hippolyta's trip to different lives. How about a scenario in which there is contact with an alternate history of the world, with Ruby meeting another self--or not meeting herself because that world is one she couldn't exist in.
On an aesthetic level, I enjoy seeing the women's fashion, the cars, and the music of the time as depicted in the show, so emphasis on that would be lovely as well.
Star Trek Cats - How do things happen differently when many peoples of the galaxy are cats? In the book, that seems to mainly apply to the humanoid mammal species. Spock claims not to be moved by the soothing effect of tribbles in the show, but how would that work when he is a cat and they are just little animals to be played with--do they just have a catnip effect, and he’s one of the cats who catnip doesn’t work for?
Other Star Trek cat people, such as Isis from the TOS episode “Assignment Earth” and any others, are fine to include/work in as well if you’re so inclined; I am only familiar with TOS, Discovery, and AOS, but would be good with you including whatever references and worldbuilding info you like with regard to other Star Trek canons if you think I can understand the fic just fine without canon knowledge.
