graveexcitementDear Worldbuilder,
Hi! I'm Grave (ao3 user graveExcitement (arachnids)), This is my first time doing WBex, so this'll definitely be new for me in any case. I'm interested to see what you'll end up writing for me! I hope one or more of these prompts inspires you, but feel free to ignore the prompts or only use part of them if a different idea strikes you.
Do Not Wants:
-Abuse; referencing/mentioning it is fine, I just don't want it to be focused on. Kismesissitudes (for the Homestuck-inclined) are great! I'd just prefer it stay in the realm of like, healthy rivalry.
-Porn/explicit content.
General likes/favored tropes:
-Telepathy
-Bodyswapping or bodysharing
-Bickering/bantering
-Time travel/time loops
-Cuddling/snuggling/falling asleep together
-Hurt/comfort (especially sickfic)
-Fake marriage
-Crackfic, whether or not it's taken seriously
-Humor
-Hijinks
-Outsider POV
My requested fandoms are:
Doki Doki Literature Club
Homestuck
New Dangan Ronpa V3
Requested medium(s): Fanfiction
Requested characters: Monika, Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri
General notes: Format weirdness and/or interactive fiction (IF) would be welcome here. Also, dark/horror themes are more than welcome for this fandom.
Erasing characters:
Monika and Sayori both experience distress when they are erased while they're still alive; did Natsuki experience similar distress when Monika erases her and Yuri, since (unlike Yuri) Natsuki was still alive at the time? How was Monika able to stick around in some form after her deletion, and what was that experience like for her?
Broken game:
What do the game's glitches look like from inside the game? What happens if any of the non-self-aware characters start noticing the glitches?
Mental illness due to the game's effects:
There are moments where the game's characters (particularly Yuri) appear to be aware that their behavior is uncharacteristic of them or that their personality has changed in some way that they can't detect. Explore the horror of knowing something's very wrong with you but not knowing why or why it's suddenly getting worse.
Literature Club president is self-aware of the game:
We know what happens when Monika becomes aware of the game, and we see a glimpse of Sayori's reactions as well; what happens if Yuri or Natsuki is club president instead, and Monika's clueless? Just what was Monika (or Sayori)'s realization like? After Monika's deletion, Natsuki and Yuri are friendlier to each other than in any other route - is that just because Monika's no longer influencing them, or did Sayori meddle with their personalities to give them their happy ending? What does the game look/feel like as a self-aware game character?
Top
Requested medium(s): Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
Requested characters: Any or No Characters, Original Character(s)
Alternian Empire:
Alternia itself is kids-only; are most important functions/stores/etc. automated/staffed by drones, or are there 6 sweep olds trying to keep the sewer system functional, staffing fast food joints, becoming librarians? What exactly is the child/adult cutoff? What is the conscription process like?
All adults are forced into the military/off-world society, but how much of that is front-line fighting versus maintenance, administration, etc. (and for the highbloods, command positions?) What's a society where there's virtually no options for settling down or vacation (aside from, perhaps, if you're a highblood who scores a cushy colony governor job where you don't have to do all that much) like? How much leisure time/time to meet/hang out with quadrantmates or potential quadrantmates do trolls get?
Has the Empire always completely flattened any other species that get in their way (or have juicy planets, etc.) or have any other civilizations posed an actual military threat?
Other Sburb Sessions:
Who else has played Sburb? Canonically pretty much all the other human Sburb sessions failed - did any succeed? What if there were other troll sessions? Or another alien race entirely? What does a standard successful session look like? What other weirdnesses can show up in a Sburb game? What kind of glitches are there?

----MAJOR SPOILER WARNING FOR ENDGAME TWISTS----
Seriously, don't even look at this fandom if you ever plan on playing this game.
Requested medium(s): Fanfiction, In-Universe Meta
Requested characters: Amami Rantaro, Ouma Kokichi, Saihara Shuichi, Any or No Characters, Original Character(s)
General notes: I requested Amami, Ouma, and Saihara because they're the ones I'm most interested in, but it's okay if you feature/focus others as well (or original/no characters, of course!)
Society that enjoys killing games:
How bloodthirsty is their society, that televised killing games are broadly accepted? Or is Danganronpa used more as catharsis for this society? Is killing game entertainment and acceptation of such limited to Japan, or is it worldwide? Does Team Danganronpa have a monopoly on killing game entertainment, or are there other, less popular killing game shows/media? Does anyone try to set up amateur killing games in their neighborhood/school/workplace?
Killing game as reality TV show:
What's the process of auditioning for Danganronpa like? Is there any kind of preparation, photo shoots, etc., before the kids' memories get wiped/new memories implanted and they get set loose? How much warning do they get before they find out they're accepted - do they get any advance notice, or do they just get kidnapped and only informed right before the killing game? Do parents, siblings, friends, etc. tune into the new season of Danganronpa only to find out that their kid/sibling/friend is in the latest killing game?
Do all the killing games tend to follow a similar pattern (five or so regular class trials before a final class trial to reveal the mastermind) or are some of them more unusual? Does a blackened ever win? Are there any killing games that reached a "stalemate" where people stopped dying (or the killing never began) but they weren't able to figure out the mastermind either?
What was Amami's previous killing game (or games?) like, and what did he do in between killing games?
In-universe Danganronpa fan communities:
What kind of in-universe fanwank is there for Danganronpa? Arguments about best boy/best girl? Arugments about who should have lived/died? (These arguments can be about V3 characters or unseen characters from previous seasons.) What was it like as an individual in-universe Danganronpa fan, watching V3 - did they eventually reject the killing game they loved as wrong, or are they bitter that it ended? What are fan communities centered around a killing game reality show like? Do a great deal of fans audition for Danganronpa themselves, or do they love the show but wouldn't want to actually risk their life for it? Are there different communities for the first group versus the second? How many of the V3 characters participated in online Danganronpa fan communities?
In-universe Danganronpa fannish activity:
Fans will be fans, especially with the intentional blurring of fiction and reality when it comes to Danganronpa contestants. So, people writing fanfiction or meta about Danganronpa, the killing game show (potentially including any of the many seasons we don't know anything about). What's it like being an (in-universe) Danganronpa fanfic author? Do they acknowledge that they're writing about real people, or do they use Shirogane's defense of the contestants' backstories and personalities being fictional to mean that they are writing about fully fictional characters?
Did any of the V3 characters ever write fanfiction or meta about previous Danganronpa seasons? (Especially Saihara. And, after the killing game ended, did Saihara come home to find his AO3 account full of Danganronpa fic?)

I hope you are inspired by something in this letter! Good luck, and have fun!
