Fic in a Box 2025 Letter - Main sign-up - complete as of Sept. 5

[hekateras]

This is a letter for my main sign-up!

I have added many 'Any Nominated X medium' freeforms. They are meant to give you some extra flexibility. However, below is a list of suggestions for mediums under those umbrellas that I like and that work well across all or most my requests! You are more than welcome to create for any of these mediums even if I goofed and the one you like is missing from a request. Please know that for literally everything I request, I am happy with writing, writing + art, writing + gifset, writing + typography or any combination thereof!

Thank you for creating for me! :)

General, NSFW, art likes & DNWs

General likes
- whump and hurt/comfort. I prefer action-heavy whump and badass whumpees over whump that leans heavily into victimisation and helplessness
- Meetcutes and meet-uglies: characters who will end up as friends or lovers meeting under the worst circumstances or hating each other at first sight
- Relationships forged in fire, bonding over trauma, codependency, friendships and romantic/sexual relationships hard to categorise in terms of whether they're a good thing or not. Relationships as questionable coping mechanisms. When characters can't quite say what they are to each other except "someone important"!
- Relationships turning on a dime: strangers becoming allies, meet-uglies, a former enemy becoming the only one you can trust, "enemy of my enemy" trope.
- Reveals of every kind: identity, power reveals, etc! Any kind of dramatic story beat where relationships rapidly switch polarity or gain new context
- Dramatic, adrenaline-fuelled, high-stakes action. Characters in danger!
- plotty Gen fic, missionfic, casefic, pre-slash or pre-relationship, slow-burn vibes
- Robots, androids, cyborgs, artificial beings
- non-sexual intimacy
- intimacy that is sexual but not directly about sex (e.g. pillow talk, lazy mornings after, characters just fooling around in bed)
- Genre blends, such as putting something IN SPACE, or a touch of urban fantasy
- competency kink, identity kink, trust kink
- fluff with a touch of grimness or bittersweetness
- cloak-and-dagger, cat-and-mouse, spies, secrets
- wild nature, birds, rats, creepy crawlies, Cool Plants
- the aesthetic of ruin and tangled industrial locales
- Format: unconventional or experimental formats such as IF or drabbles and drabble sequences, 1st, 2nd, 3rd person POV

General DNWs
Gore, noncon, heavy crying in the context of physical whump, kidfic, noncanonical incest or underage, pregnancy of POV characters, focus on needles or surgery (especially cutting and IVs), focus on IRL modern era geopolitics, eye horror/trauma

NSFW likes
- I prefer levels of explicit detail typical for the M rating!
- Oral sex, handjobs or frottage and half/fully-clothed sex are great!
- For penetrative sex, if prep is called for, I prefer prep to not be a huge focus
- UST-ridden scenes that are only metaphorically sexual (e.g. reaching inside someone's mechanical parts to repair them...!)
- characters feeling conflicted, "but I shouldn't"
- Non-formalised BDSM or dom/sub dynamics
- Consensual but not safe or sane
- The Eroticism of the Machine
- not inherently kinky things (e.g. cyborg robotics repair) being written and perceived by the characters as something uncomfortably kinky

NSFW DNWs
Omegaverse, scat, watersports, bloodplay, rimming, fisting, stuffing, noncon (dubcon A-okay!), most kinks that would fall under degradation or humiliation (I would not consider light submissive behaviour to be this), bottoming angst as a major part of the story

Art likes
Different art styles, from realistic to stylised to pixel art or manga cover vibes, organic and sketchy styles, mixed media art. Dramatic poses, contrasting colours, hair, flying cloaks and coattails, wings, giving characters beautiful wings for no reason and with no explanation, just do it.

Art DNWs
Graphic sex, eye horror, needles and things going into skin (cyborg augments are ok)

Blackwell Series

PROMPTS

• Please feel free to retcon the series ending or otherwise run with an everyone lives!AU if you want! Joe can be alive or still dead, whatever you like.
• This fandom feels perfect for a casefic told in a mix of formats: for example, Rosa and Joe solving another ghost case as told through a mix of emails, scrapbooks and journal entries, a conspiracy board (could be as simple as post-its), in-universe instructions for some kind of ghost-summoning ritual, complaint form (probably about Rosa, LBR, but maybe about someone she's investigating), etc.
• I would love a plotline where Rosa actually tells a human friend about her whole thing and they believe her. Or maybe she could make friends with another medium
• I would particularly love IF! There's something so satisfying about IF fanfics for a canon that's already interactive media :)
• List of things Rosa is not allowed to do: fun way to tell about all the places and people she's got restraining orders from because of her cases :D
• List of things Joe is not allowed to do: they had to have come up with house rules in order to stay sane and maintain boundaries
• Slow-burn sequel to 'on our way home' by starbridge: yes please?
• Anything involving Rosa's attempts at novel-writing: in-universe book reviews, in-universe fanworks of her books, etc.
• In-universe r/Relationships post: look imagine Rosa trying to get advice for her relationship with her 'roommate' and sounding increasingly unhinged and/or codependent when asked to elaborate in any way.
• In a similar vein: Rosa on r/LegalAdvice trying to vaguely find out just how much trouble she might be in over her habitual breaking and entering, stalking, accessing people's accounts, etc.
• Ditto: Rosa asking increasingly weird questions on r/AskHistorians to find out more about a particular building's history
• It would be fun if Joe could use the computer. (If you're going with post-canon fixit, maybe he either gets resurrected or stays a ghost but gets a power-up and is able to physically touch keys if he works for it.) Imagine all of the above, but with Joe.
• In-universe TTRPG: Rosa finds an online group and plays for both herself and Joe, executing Joe's character's actions for him. He gets extremely into it. She probably eventually gets banned for having alts or sth.
• An in-universe expense report could be a fun way to show all the ways Rosa is trying to keep the operation afloat
• Crossword puzzle with cryptic clues feels like a very Blackwell medium (no pun intended... unless)
• Murdle would be amazing, okay! I'd love it if you made a Murdle about a ghost case
• Logic Grid puzzle could also be a really fun way to make the reader 'solve' a case!

There Is No Antimemetics Division

PROMPTS

• Honestly I would just like to have more fic filling in the TINAD blanks. The TINAD verse is ripe for various kinds of interesting lost media, much of it often implying that the sources got disappeared by antimemetic anomalies
• I would love the discovery of new antimemetic anomalies (past or present timeline) as documented through various formats like interview transcripts, journal excerpts, classified documents, spreadsheets (more on this below), maybe even in-universe creepypastas!
• For classified documents especially it would be fun to tell a story through redacted text!
• I love the idea (in a past gift) of a logic grid puzzle being a way to store antimemetically hazardous information without making it obvious (and thus dangerous), but still accessible in an emergency. I'd love more such puzzles or to see this idea used in-universe
• Nonogram puzzle could also be fun: if the image it reveals is antimemetic or classified :)
• Spreadsheets and expense reports: some tie-in stories in the TINAD verse have personnel expense reports come up as one of the clues that the Division is slowly shrinking/being eaten. I love drama told through dry bureaucracy and the creeping horror of understanding what the numbers mean, and I'd love more of this.
• 'and we guard the little fire' by kubernetes ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/61639699/chapters/157576063 ): this is great. I would love to have more exploring this addition to the world: fic remix, art remix, scientific documents or attempts at publishing findings about this, pressed botanicals framed to look like they're related, etc. More broadly I'd love to see more 'natural' phenomena around both antimemes and antimeme countermeasures (i.e. information storage and record-keeping) and attempts at classifying them.
• I would love to see more about existing canon antimemetic agents or a cool new one you come up with! As far as I'm concerned, WB: Any is carte blanche for you to explore whatever part of Antimemetics Division history or operations you like :)
• The Alastair Grey Kill Agent story is still one of my favourites for a reason. The dawning horror of finding out just how many other people it's killed, and everything they tried to do to survive, is amazing. I'd love to see more of that same flavour of storytelling, maybe told through unconventional writing formats like journal entries, post-its, a conspiracy wall in a Vegas Room, etc.

Tactical Breach Wizards

PROMPTS

• First off, canon divergencies and wacky AUs (ranging from "for want of a nail" to "What if this character actually worked for the enemy") are all welcome to facilitate creative fills! Especially for this canon you are also welcome to go nuts on time travel, alternate timeline and Surprise: It Was All a Prophetic Vision shenanigans
• Two words: COSTUME DESIGN! Begging you for more confidence outfits for the wizards. Or, alternately, low-confidence outfits: show us the sad boring get-up Jen wears to cases when she's not quite feeling up to it. Alternately, something designed for stealth. Or maybe a costume for the version of the character who's affiliated with, say, the Druid Mafia or some other faction. Or maybe for if they're SUPER EVIL!
• In that same vein, an online dress-up game or a papercraft dress-up doll would be absolutely amazing
• Stained Glass window art featuring Sabin would be kickass! Or even one for each of the wizards who save Medil and the world, created much to their embarrassment
• Murdle: I'd love to see Jen or Jen & company solving a mystery together! Could be pre-canon Jen PI days or post-canon, where she's teaming up with Banks. Maybe Rion also helps out - having someone to sniff out danger AND look scary is sure to come in useful!
• Spell or ritual instructions: need I say more? show me what it takes to get that magic work, or show one of them developing a brand new spell! Pressed botanicals or botanical illustrations could also be involved in this.
• Conspiracy board: I'd love something very similar to the 'conspiracy board' in the actual game, but in a different context! Maybe for Jen's and Banks's PI cases? Or maybe Rion trying to hunt down one of his hitman targets.
• Interactive Fiction could be such a canon-flavoured and fun unconventional way to structure a fic. Since I also opt into script format fic, you could write it in the style of the canon dialogues :)
• Isometric room would be a great format to show the wizard workbenches or living quarters in more detail! For cityscapes, I'd love something showing how different regions look
• Crossword puzzle with cryptic clues would just be really fun for this
• Podcast or radio show transcript: maybe something reporting on the team's (or Liv's team's) failures and successes
• Cocktail or mocktail recipe for each of them would be awesome! Maybe the mocktail could also double as an in-universe magic potion of some kind? Maybe some kind of spell for which you need to recreate the "essence" of a person using cocktail/mocktail ingredients
• A logic grid puzzle feels like a fun way to translate the puzzle nature of the gameplay to a different format. Maybe you need to "solve" a tactical situation to clear a room, but it's all in the form of clues
• In-universe mythology: I'd love to see a bit more of what (ancient) history and the Craft looked like in this world
• The Gang Plays TTRPG!
• Liv's Gang plays TTRPG. Chaos ensues.
• Not medium-specific but I'd love to see the Liv & Zan dynamic explored more in whatever format you think works best...
• Tarot card art would be fantastic <3
• The thing with Zan vs. Liv and him coming back to the lair to (briefly) find the team wiped out. It's so good ahhh. I'd love anything more about that scene and moment, using Zan's foresight, working through ways he could still (fail) to save them...
• Rion at work :3( His epilogue options are assassinating the Reactor CEO or assassinating the head of the Chapel in collaboration with Dall and I'd love to see either in more detail. Rion & Dall in particular is a very interesting and underexplored dyanmic

Sunless Sea

PROMPTS

• I would love something that feels in the style of the game, particularly centered on exploration, horror, or mystery, maybe with a touch of romance
• For Zee-Monsters and The Wreck of the Nocturne particularly I would love a tight, spooky story of a single exploration trip or encounter. Feel free to have it end tragically if you like!
• Unconventional formats and mediums are a bonus if you can make it work, doesn't have to be fancy. For example, a ship log or zee-captain journal documenting various locations (canon or of your own invention) with little doodles!
• Between port reports and the zee shifting every once in a while, there's a lot of flexibility for storytelling in a fun in-universe format and also to bring in new locations beyond what already exists in the zee
• I haven't played Zubmariner but absolutely wouldn't mind material from it! The same goes for Sunless Skies - if you feel like bringing some of its plots into it will enrich the story, go for it!
• I'd love a journal of exploration of some distant port told in various formats: expense reports for trade, scrapbooks, local exotic flowers pressed between journal pages, maybe a sketch of a logic puzzle the captain has to solve to keep exploring
• Classified documents and espionage between different factions!!! Other than documents that self-immolate, what other tricks does the Neath have for the espionage trade?
• I would just love something involving weapon and ship tool schematics or technical drawings or design specs, potentially involving an Engineering officer or two. Speaking of...
• The Genial Magician & The Tireless Mechanic sharing a boat would be disastrous or hilarious or both
• Exhibition catalogue: could be related to one of the treasures you recover from the Zee for your retirement goal
• I'm tickled by the idea of tourism or travelogues existing in the Neath and some foolish intrepid company in Fallen London trying to make a business out of tourism or advertising various port locations.
• In-universe forbidden Romantic Poetry would be a fun way to hit the poetry medium!

Citizen Sleeper

PROMPTS

• More stories involving Sleeper during their time on the Eye
• Feel free to take any of the endings and explore them more: maybe Sleeper's life after they leave on the big corporate ship, or Sleeper's new form of consciousness in the Gardener ending (do they remember what came before? maybe they track their old friends and try to help them out in some way, such as helping out Riko, or how they deal with the Flux or a similar threat to the Eye), or they leave with Bliss and Ankhita and continue their adventures elsewhere. Or they stay on the Eye and get locked in a tense struggle for independence against Castor
• I'm also very curious about the DLC ending where you actively help the Greenway intertwine with the Eye. What does it look like many (many, many) cycles later? Having the station's electrical system connected with the root and mycelium network of the Greenway sounds like brilliant madness, what effects are there further down the line? I'm curious to see a station that is genuinely alive in some manner. (This could also be combined with the 'Sleeper merges with the Gardener' ending!)
• I like the idea of Sleeper ditching Ethan when they disable the tracker but running into him again much later, perhaps after he's grown a bit as a person. What I like about their dynamic is the fun antagonism, but also the way Sleeper (especially a selfless and prosocial play of the character) seems to challenge Ethan's conception of what people are like just by existing. It's like they're an inspiration to him to try and be better, and that pisses him off - at the same time, they're not all that different when they meet in the game, both at the mercy of their corporate overlords. I would love to see this explored further, and Ethan being tested if they run into each other again. (Feel free to take inspiration from this Sleeper & Ankhita & Bliss ficlet I wrote!) I see now I forgot to request Sleeper & Ethan but as far as I'm aware, Solo: Sleeper should still work for this fill!
• Something involving Sleeper's search for identity and getting an actual name, probably post-canon. Maybe they've been hanging on and surviving long enough that they actually start to accept that they have some kind of future here (which would be terrifying in a different way).
• In the game, you encounter another Sleeper who is almost dead and never really make contact with them. I would love to see a second chance at this post-canon: Sleeper is well-established on the Eye when a new Sleeper escapee arrives and they have to deal with a whole new host of problems when trying to protect them (and have to weigh the risk of how much to stick their neck out for them, when alerting the corporations to the fact that they're still alive and out there also puts them at risk)
• Isometric rooms of Sleeper's various sleeping quarters could be a nice way to show their progression and 'upgrade' in living conditions. Also just in general, isometric art or architectural drawings and floorplans of different locations around the Eye would be great. More art of the Eye!
• Technical drawings of Sleeper anatomy!
• Pressed botanicals with some fictional twists would be great to show off the Greenway!
• I love logic grid puzzles for their unconventional storytelling potential: it's a fun way to add in-universe puzzlesolving to the gift
• Interactive Fiction in the style of the game would be especially fun!
• On the goofier side, here's another IF prompt: Citizen Sleeper Dating Simulator. That's it that's the prompt :3(
• Ships I didn't think to request but would also be happy to receive: Peake/Sleeper, Bliss/Ankhita

The Red Strings Club

PROMPTS

• Fun fact: a playthrough of this game is only ~3 hours long and can be watched here!
• Cocktail or mocktail recipes seem perfect for this fandom! Characters or places summarised in their favourite drinks. Or, maybe a story told in cocktail recipes of Donovan discovering his 'gift'
• I'd love a Murdle, conspiracy board or logic puzzle to represent Donovan & Brandeis working a case together. Maybe Brandeis is in trouble and comes to Donovan for help. Can I say casefic? :3
• In-universe ads for implants
• Something involving the supernatural: such as G0st or Donovan's whole soul thing. Maybe we can see how it originated?
• I'd love something meaty set early in Donovan's and Brandeis's relationship: first meeting, first time working together, how Brandeis becomes more than just a client
• I'd love some worldbuilding about PROXYMA or the world after Akara's takeover
• Technical drawings about the tech or Akara would be really cool
• I'd looove Interactive Fiction for this! The game is such a treat to play and I'd love to feel more of that same energy of making choices and digging down conversation trees. Maybe
• For such a cybernetically advanced hacker, it's really interesting that Brandeis relies so much on old-school techniques (social engineering with a touch of cybernetically-enabled voice modulation). I'd love to see more of it!
• You're absolutely welcome to bring in OCs or expand existing minor characters for more canon-typical bar convos!
• There's a lot of juicy canon divergence material here. I got quite attached to Akara-184 and would love to see more of them as a permanent fixture of the Red Strings Club. Maybe that iteration of Akara becomes separate from the hivemind and develops independent thoughts and an agenda somehow?

Crossover Fandom

Requested fandoms: Invisible Inc, Citizen Sleeper, Red Strings Club, Tactical Breach Wizards

PROMPTS

• A character from a different fandom walks into a bar - Donovan's bar. That's it :D
• Fusion where they were always set in the same universe: for Citizen Sleeper x Red Strings Club, maybe Sleeper runs into the Club on some big space station or corporate planet. Any character walking into the club to get information (and in turn be grilled for information by Donovan) would be really fun: maybe an Invisible agent is investigating a lead, or Sleeper is looking into the local crime groups to figure out who to get stabiliser from, or bounty hunters are looking for Sleeper, or Jen wants to sniff out how another PI works.
• Sleeper (CS) gets a job at the Red Strings Club. I.e. they take in a very different android
• AIs from different cyberpunk games butting heads! What if the Invisible Inc. tries to pull a job involving that bar and Incognita or their hackers run up against Brandeis and Akara-184?
• Cocktail recipe meets fanart! That Red Strings Club soul view of a character when you make them a drink? I'd love to see that for the crossover characters!

Original Work

PROMPTS

• Unconventional format storytelling: maybe a cyborg/mechanic story told through scraps of diagnostic logs, repair schematics, or even a logic grid puzzle to simulate the puzzle-solving experience?
• Mistrust warring with attraction and a certain undefinable gravitational pull! What I love about these noir and cyborg-related ships is how they all suggest having an agenda and being at cross-purposes to each other and how much it complicates any feelings that might otherwise more easily be indulged
• Feel free to make it a little unhealthy - throw in a little blackmail or manipulation, a little pressure, a little push and pull
• For the noir stuff: a snippet of a murder mystery or some other casefic flavouring would be great. The Homme/Femme Fatale are usually a client with a secret, can they be trusted? But you can also flip it on its head and have them come to the detective's aid when least expected
• For the cyborg/mechanic I'd love something flavoured with transhumanism, ruminations on the human form (both literal and wink wink nudge nudge), ship-of-Theseus themes, and the theme of human(oid) ingenuity: as tight as corporate measures get, there will always be people finding shortcuts, tunneling through, jailbreaking things, cracking DRMs, increasing access... maybe some of them do it out of ideological convictions about freedom of technology and information, and some of them just want to turn a profit and make a living, or both, it's all good. In that same vein I love it when pragmatic and largely self-interested characters discover a cause and someone/something to protect, in spite of themselves. Some nice juicy low-hanging fruit would be an injured cyborg (who may or may not be an homme/femme fatale who knows) ending up at the doorstep of the other character in need for help.
• For cyborg and cyberpunk-flavoured ships in general, regardless of the exact setting, I like a focus on gritty survival and ephemeral, mercenary relationships in the face of an overpowering, ruthless system. Moments of trust and connection, in spite of all that...
• Don't feel like you need to stick closely to the implied genres: I would absolutely love some futuristic scifi!noir, or IN SPACE, or "19th-early 20th century but there are also cyborgs", or non-Western versions of these settings. Cyberpunk meeting fairytales, fairytales meeting noir, etc. Steampunk twists on the ships or alternate history settings are also welcome.
• Feel free to mix the requested ships too while you're at it. A noir detective who is ALSO good with tech and repairs? A combat cyborg who is also an homme/femme fatale? A Lost Knight/Forest Dryad where the knight is also a robot? And why not?
• For the more nature-themed ships: maybe something with a fairytale vibe? I love themes of nature being eternal and ruthless (but also restorative), a force of its own. I love themes with industrial or more modern characters and objects being overgrown and reclaimed by the forest.
• For art and other media prompts: if you want to mix genres, some technical drawings + botanical art or pressed flowers could go so well together!

Invisible Inc

PROMPTS

• First off, canon divergencies and wacky AUs (ranging from "for want of a nail" to "What if this character actually worked for the enemy") are all welcome to facilitate creative fills!
• Action figure packaging bio: Maybe there was one for Rush during her auglete days and its price as a collectible skyrocketed after she became infamous as an anticorporate terrorist. Or maybe there was a release of an action figure for each of the PEIA following the blockbuster The Istanbul Four movie! Legend has it Central terminated the last agent who was caught with an Olivia collectible in their desk, but the action figure is still around somewhere.
• Book/movie review: could be more reviews of The Istanbul Four or of The Data Vampires, Draco's edgy semiautobiographical bestseller!
• Bureaucratic paperwork & workplace documentation: what does it look like for the megacorps? Alternately, what does it look like for Invisible Inc, who are totally a regular and legal freelance intelligence agency except the missions frequently have life or death stakes?
• Instant messaging: informal agent message chains! (for security reasons they certainly have their own app for this)
• Fan letters: the famous/infamous agents (e.g. Rush, Prism, Shalem, Draco) dealing with fanmail would be hilarious
• In-universe RPF: ditto
• True crime podcast transcript: I'd love to see some amateur podcasters reporting on isoteric clues that the PEIA were never executed and Gladstone is still out there somewhere, and Draco's stint as a serial killer is likewise perfect inspo for this
• Transcript of sports match commentary: That Rush datalog? That was great, give me more
• Logic grid puzzle: maybe the solution to ending a mission without losing anyone, or Banks trying to figure out how to ask Nika out on a date (because she would 100% overthink this)
• Complaint form: could be for a corporate workplace, just something documenting the woes of Steve the Sysadmin or Spencer the Spec Ops. An agency complaint form would also be hilarious. Nika keeps kneecapping people who move in her peripheral vision. Sharp keeps magnetising office supplies. Tony keeps "upgrading" other agents' personal equipment with variable results. Internationale keeps leaving pamphlets and then lying badly about it. How very dare.
• Conspiracy Board: SO MUCH potential. Is Olivia Gladstone still alive? Did the captured PEIA agents really get executed or is that just what the corps WANT you to believe? Who was really behind the "unscheduled demolitions" of the corporate HQs? Is a sentient AI running all of Subnet? Do the corps operate neural redaction black site prisons that none of the inmates who leave ever remember? Who or what is Shopcat?
• Isometric rooms/cityscapes: I'd love to see what the agent rooms look like (if they live on-site, which some might), but a corporate isometric room could also be fun in a subtle corporate dystopian horror kind of way.
• Floorplan/architectural style drawing: corporate facility layout and heist prep!!! Or, I'd love to see the agency HQ. Some fanon mentions the corridors are deliberately designed to be confusing.
• Weapon schematics & tool schematics: I'd love to see drawings of what various augments and gizmos (cloaks, shocktraps, etc.) look like in detail! Opting into the visual equivalent of technobabble if that helps.
• List of things character is not allowed to do: could be cheeky, like "Dr. Xu is not allowed to open up and 'tweak' company equipment", or more serious, in the style of corporate warnings a-la "DO NOT ALLOW NEAR TERMINALS"
•  In-universe TTRPG: in which the agents blow off some steam. Shenanigans and minmaxing ensue. One of the agents brings loaded dice or otherwise gets way too deeply into it? Nika finally gets in touch with her emotions? Oh and I feel like Monst3r should be DM. I could also see Incognita being DM with disturbing results. (Maybe this kind of TTRPG campaign is a way for her to study human emotions?)
• Mission report, medical report: big fan of big drama told through dry paperwork
• Spreadsheets: expense report: maybe something post-canon showing the agency struggling to stay afloat?
• Psychological evaluation: I have ideas for two flavours of this. One, kind of morbidly funny: Draco or Rush or Derek have to pass a psych eval to enlist for the PEIA. Nonsense ensues. Two: whump aftermath! Give me an agent who's been through the wringer and is now trying to prove that they're still fit for work! Could be canonical events like the aftermath of Olivia's capture and rescue, or the HQ raid, or a regular mission-gone-wrong in spectacular ways.
• AITA and similar Reddit posts: "AITA for shocktrapping the kitchen cupboard to spite my annoying coworker?" At one point Central and/or Monst3r have to get involved because agents having petty fights on Reddit is becoming a security risk
• Anything involving the Neural Uplink Interface: I'd just love to see this explored more and some of these out-there mediums feel perfect for it. How much do the agents share senses (if at all)? Do they share pain? Are there automatic limiters? Are there any issues with 'bleedover' of experiences and identity?
• Agents covered in blood
