Story Requests

Anything readers want to see at any point in the future. I’ll use this data to add things to novels, or plan bonus scenes/materials, or even decide on doing future collections like Major Pieces.

This used to be on Google Docs but I'm more likely to find it here.

Note that inclusion on this list does not mean these ideas will get used!

Eldritch

• A Tam is on a distant world when the disaster strikes. see picnicfield discord for full.
• A Pelted on a ship, skinned, makes it to a holo-arch in time, must later argue with Pelted equivalent of DMV because her skin did not come in the same when regrown. Eternally having to tell people that she is her, worse if skinning pirates is top secret or even just discouraged/disparaged info. (Sean)
• What did the queen do with foreknowledge (presumed) of Tam home world disaster. Tell/console tams? Tell allies? (Sean)
• Jahir's and Sediryl's moms being court nice (not very) at each other.
• More of Tolden
• Tolden's adventures in Chatcaavan Throneworld + Juvie and the Asaniefa (!) boy - seconded
• Briana - Sediryl’s pilot from Girl on Fire!
• Sediryl’s dad (Haladir) and Jahir’s mom (Jeasa) together.
• Courting. Definitely courting - yes! Seconded!
  • Thirding!
  • Haladir and Jeasa need to go see the Alliance. Perhaps a visit to Dondi's restaurant? On their honeymoon??
• Eldritch grandparents and elderly Eldritch
• Sediryl and her father
• What the other D-Pers do for fun - seconded
• The hasty creation by mortal programmers and DPers of a DPer to counsel people through grief caused by pirates destroying worlds and billions of lives. A DPer Grief Counselor for deeper grief. Billions of semi-trained grief counselors themselves grieving, giving advice to people. Stadiums full of people getting mass grief counseling. MMORPG grief games to try to help. Would the anniversary of the event be in universal or that World's time and date? Prayers for their souls.(Sean)
• Reese being REESE. Possibly riding to rescue. Definately - Reese needs another adventure!
• Reese's perspective of the shopping trip with Sediryl? (Major pieces of the major pieces, LOL!)
• ...Eldritch manuscript illuminator idk. >_>
• Crispin arriving on the Eldritch homeworld and why he's there
  • More Crispin, generally
    • Agreed.
• Eldritch commoner enters the Eldritch Naval Academy
• Second planet of Eldritch Empire finds something Interesting and communicates to home base about it
• Sediryl and Araelis, Araelis and the Harat-Shar, Araelis and Lesandurel
  • Since we have confirmation that Fasianyl is still alive and exploring, something with her (and her D-per) visiting Chalice (or Escutcheon) to see a Harat-Shar / Eldritch culture
• ELDRITCH EXPLORING THEIR OWN GOSH DANGED PLANET
  • Yes please!
• I know it's inevitable but Beth starting more fires
  • Also perhaps one or two fires being so utterly inconsequential that it’s rendered to background noise/indirect mention
• Beth post-break off with Amber
• Sehvi-assisted ELDRITCH BABY BOOM
• Revitalization of Imthereli
  • Eldritch moving into Imthereli for [insert reasons here]?
  • & discovering Eldritch already there (only they’re Chatcaava!)
• Vashit’h and Valthial meeting the first time
• More of Vashit’h’s own mental prowess outside of Jahir and his partnership - YES
• Smol Dragonchilde and her bows and enthusiasm. - seconded
• Fun with Flitzbes!
• More about Laisrathera’s nobility? Is Reese elevating them? Are they basically Reese’s crew made noble?
• Sediryl using Maia’s gift
• Heir!Liolesa unexpectedly finds a lover...
• Lisinthir brings his heirs for presentation (and has some un-cousinly moments with Jahir!)
• Lunet + Imthereli heirs + QR and Emperor’s child + Sediryl and Jahir’s kids upending the Eldritch court
  • How would Eldritch noble society deal with twins, anyway?
  • Very curious about this, and I’m all for upending in the Eldritch court.
• Stories of Settlement to the Pelted Newcomers from the Elder Eldritch
• I'd like to see more Guardkin/Eldritch interactions, and not just the Queen with her boys, but maybe one/some of Reese's people and having a small adventure with the guardkin? Also the country Eldritch were planning on breeding dogs, got some other than Guardkin, maybe and breeding Guardkin? Could be awkward as Guardkin have their own minds. (other then Sean)
• Joreht gave Jahir a “relaxing tonic” from an elderly Eldritch in the Seni village who knows herblore. Jahir and Hirianthial were very interested. I’d like to see how that develops.
  • What career does Joreht decide to go into?
• Surela's initial foray off planet - I loved watching Sediryl discover stuff and I'd love to see how Surela's very different backstory makes it different…
• Bryer gets a family - how does that work? Who shows up to be his mate? What are small Phoenixae like? How do they get trained away from the home world?
• Hirianthial and Val discussing Kishet’h gift of the book about the early first glasean mind mages.
• the old man with herbalist knowledge that Sehvi’s son had found at the tenant village. I want to know more about him! Maybe that meeting?
  • I’m curious too!
• Maybe a scene where the Eldritch tailors get the challenge of dressing a Glasehan?
• Insinuated on the Discord but: This scandal and rumor-filled broadsheet: how, exactly, did it come about and how open was Liolesa in acquiring the materials?
• Val and Belinor -- what's up with that?
• The singers sent to Chalice in "12 Days" get a treat: a vacation/exploration in a starbase. As they like adventure and education and shelter and food and new things and new songs. Send a Tam as translater/guide? Culture shock and exploration and sharing once they find other musicians. Musical cross fertilization.
• Every time a repository of records has burned down, just about anyone who needs a new start finds it convenient to say they were born there. Rebels have sometimes burned one down to give themselves a documentary refuge. I believe this has happened in Ireland, at minimum. You will have to decide if the destruction and disruption on Tam-illee created such an opportunity in the Pelted modern world. Your rogues and displaced will thank you if so. Anyone who later claims to have been born there will be looked at, even though 8 billion(??) did live there. “funny, you don’t look tam-ish” (Sean)
• The Queen R takes the Eldritch shape to get consent from those who do not speak and then takes the shapes of a Guardkin and an Flitzbe. Insight? Fun? Hilarity? Especially since one of those shape is true alien. (Sean)
• Eldritch need something like the Glaseah's genetic repository so that a revolution or space stone strike will not eliminate a large and precious part of their genome.(Sean)Maybe others since it has been shown how large a part of any gernome can be deleted by a space rock.

Guardkin asking to emigrate to the Glaseah world. It is only logical and the two peoples are made for each other. (Sean)

Earthrise

• How Reese met her Flitzbe! Eseme envisions this as a nice start to a collection, sort of like how the Eldritch Queen and Mia are a good early story in Major Pieces.
  • More Flitzbe!
• Include the existing story about why K’set left academia! (Eseme)
• There are a bunch of good Reese ideas in the Eldritch section… (Eseme)

• Bryer hanging his banners, looking for a mate (Eseme)
• Who followed Reese to Escutcheon? Why?
  • Does it have to do with the founder’s stone Irene and Sascha (and Hirianthial) got for her?
• Reese has children, finally

• More about Reese’s village
• Meander! Laisrathera meander! While we’re thinking about the Firithel villagers.
• Eseme would love to see how Lunet ends up living with Reese. Who names her Lunet?
• More Jorah NotAgain, please. (He could be a lovely bridge to Alysha and the Stardancer!)(and how did he get that name? Oh, no, NotAgain? Anyway he needs his own page and a citation for where he is referenced.

Alysha

• More of Alastar
• More Felsha and Darya show! (Eseme seconds this)
  • Steffis takes Felsha and Darya to the ballet (The Universe is Small: they are taken to one of Simone’s performances) - seconded, thirded, fourthed
• Alysha/random Pelted Captain's perspective of the Battle of Selnor
• Alysha (assuming she survived/was there to begin with) in the aftermath of the Battle of Selnor, possibly meeting up with new Chatcaavan allies
• Alysha/random Pelted Captain visit border world
• Fleet visits Chatcaavan Throneworld from Fleet's perspective, post-BoS
• Eseme ships Taylithia and Mike - more of them please. (Lemur) Mike does have that certain prejudice that HE NEEDS TO GET PAST… :-)
• Pre-Gledig Kameney
  • I still think Kameney before her descent into madness and evil would be interesting
• Alysha has to work with the Harat-Shar militia
• More of the really nice friendship and community like in the most recent one.
• More romance!
• Alysha et. al. meet major characters from the other storylines And (sean) does she survive the war? does the Stardancer?
• The Stardancer rotates into Escutcheon space!
• Dark Lighthouse is a very good first story, it sets up the situation, but does not resolve. While its is true that some situations IRL do not get resolved, there are often consequences to a lack of resolution. (Sean)

Chatcaava

• Emperor Ueneuvin solidifying support among Southern and Western wings of Empire against Northern and Eastern wings
  • Goes to personally release slaves from particularly obstinate holder?

• Life after for women no longer in harems. ...man, four armed females would be awesome surgical assistants, huh? - seconded
• Here’s another idea: Chatcaava enroll in Seersana U Or (Sean) in the human marines. For that matter, a water based species enrolling in the marines.
• Starbucks championship in the Empire: Chatcaavan baristas compete for the title of Barista - yes!!!
• The continuing saga of Hope’s Navy. Also Hope’s Navy meet’s J&S’s twins.
• What does it mean to “come of age” in the new Chatcaavan society?
• More of the super funny surgeon (I still want him to get to the Seersana clinic eventually) - YES, seconded!
• Someone should visit the clinic at J&V’s university. For SCIENCE!
• (Lemur) Knife-that-was (now Liaison) and Laniis and the rest of their FIA Crew in SPY ADVENTURES! Also, some possible romantic tensions between them and Na’er? He strikes me as the jealous type and he’s not fond of dragons…
• (Lemur) More Uuvek & Maia!
• (Lemur) You guessed it - More Attendant! He’s not just a total cinnamon bun, but he’s a character that’s more comfortable as another species, which is something worth exploring, surely!
