Type of fanwork: Fanfiction
Fandom(s): Star Wars: Original Trilogy, Prequel Trilogy, Sequel Trilogy, The Mandalorian, Pirates of the Caribbean (films), Tolkien: Lord of the Rings (movies)
Highest rating: M (Mature)
Length/scope: Less than 5K words

Especially interested in: Common themes I enjoy:
Fluff
Character introspection
Missing/deleted/alternative scenes
Differing perspectives

Lord of the Rings (films):
Missing/deleted/alternative scenes -- especially if they’re in the extended editions, but not in the theatrical version
Scenes from the books translated to accommodate the movie characters (though if you have a specific scene, please provide book/pages so I can find it -- poetry and songs are especially welcome here)

Pirates of the Caribbean (films):
Preferred ship: Norribeth (James Norrington/Elizabeth Swann) -- don’t take this as an “I will only write about these characters”, this is just the relationship I prefer. (Same for Star Wars below)

Star Wars (PT, OT, ST, The Mandalorian):
Alternate universes are definitely welcome here! Especially Modern AU, because I love writing that for this fandom
Preferred ships (if you want to know the characters involved, feel free to ask -- ran out of room XD): Reylo, Reyux, Reylux, Hanleia, Obidala.

Unwilling to address: There are a few things that I will absolutely not write for any fandom and are my common DNW’s: Major character death or serious injury (even if it isn’t permanent), explicit violence, blood/gore, dubcon/noncon, ABO, any hard kinks (if you have to ask, it probably is one), torture, pregnancy, or kidfic. I also prefer not to write smut because I’m terrible at it, so if you want something that’s a bit more adult, I will write the fic, but unless I suddenly find a way to be better at it, it will be a fade to black scenario.

For Pirates of the Caribbean, I will not write any kind of Alternate Universe. Canon-divergent is okay, but I prefer to stay in the time period of the films and not stray too far outside it (probably 20-30 years in each direction). There’s plenty of interest in this period and in these films to create some amazing content.

For Star Wars, I would prefer not to write anything that relates to Rey Palpatine. I know it’s technically “canon” now, but I am ignoring it.

Notes: There are a few things to know if you decide to bid for one of my stories:

1. I will be very proud to create something great for you, in honor of the generous donation to a worthy charity.
2. I am always free to comments, questions, ideas that you may have on the story you've asked me to write as well as the process of creating it. (Also, if you just want to come have a chat, my messages and askbox are always open!)
3. Adding onto my previous comment, I will always try to be as transparent as possible about the progress and possible challenges that come with the writing process. If there is a delay or a celebration of progress, you'll be the first to know!
4. My only real request, besides keeping in mind the themes I am not willing to write about, is patience. Muses can be fickle things, so if you see me post something else, it doesn't mean I'm not working on the story you've asked me to write! The brain, and Google doc, is always working. :D

MBlair Auction #2

Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.)

Type of fanwork: Fan labor
Subtype(s): Betaing
Fandom(s): Star Wars: Original Trilogy, Prequel Trilogy, Sequel Trilogy, The Mandalorian, Rogue One, MCU: Avengers, Iron Man, Agent Carter, Wandavision, Pirates of the Caribbean (films)
Highest rating: M (Mature)
Length/scope: 5 -10k words

Especially interested in: In terms of beta-reading, I'm far more open on subject matter than I am on writing. While I prefer fics to be on the lighter side and not include too much dark subject matter (and none of my DNW's), I am open to most subjects.

Unwilling to address: There are a few things that I will absolutely not write for any fandom (nor will I beta a fic that includes them) and are my common DNW’s: Major character death or serious injury (even if it isn’t permanent), explicit violence, blood/gore, dubcon/noncon, ABO, any hard kinks (if you have to ask, it probably is one), torture, pregnancy, or kidfic.

I would also prefer to not beta-read anything explicitly adult, at least if it's a large part or the main focus of the fic.

Notes: My main focus on this fan labor offer is to help you make your story the best it can be. I'm not going to say to do something you don't want to do (unless it's a very obvious mistake) nor do I expect you to take all my advice. This is about helping you learn and grow as a writer, so I hope you'll find the person who is best for you! Hello potential donors! There are a few things that you'll need to know about my offer for fan labor.

Beta Skills Offered:
- SPAG (spelling, punctuation, and grammar)
- Plot and storyboarding
- Character building/motivations
