PH 2
Earth Girl Series - Janet Edwards
The Portal Future verse comprises two separate series, and two additional companion books. Earth Girl Trilogy: Earth Girl, Earth Star, and Earth Flight. Drago Tell Dramis Series: Hera 2781, Hestia 2781, Array 2781, and Sol 2781. Companion Books: Earth 2788 and Earth Prime.
Approximate Length: Earth Girl Trilogy: Earth Girl (358 pages), Earth Star (374 pages), and Earth Flight (390 pages). Drago Tell Dramis Series: Hera 2781 (56 pages), Hestia 2781 (377 pages), Array 2781 (357 pages) and Sol 2781 (565 pages). Companion Books: Earth 2788 (199 pages) and Earth Prime (454 pages).
Where to find it: Available as ebook and paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Additionally available on Scribid in ebook format.
Optional canon: So the original canon is the three books of the Earth Girl series. The two companion books are nice, but likely not necessary to read for the purpose or fic writing, and of the two, I would prioritize Earth Prime. The Drago Tell Dramis series, however adds a significant amount of background information and context that drastically changes your perspective on Many Significant Events of the original trilogy.
Summary: 2788. Only the handicapped live on Earth. Eighteen-year-old Jarra is among the one in a thousand people born with an immune system that cannot survive on other planets. Sent to Earth at birth to save her life, she has been abandoned by her parents. She can’t travel to other worlds, but she can watch their vids, and she knows all the jokes they make. Jarra makes up a fake military background for herself and joins a class of norms who are on Earth for a year of practical history studies excavating the dangerous ruins of the old cities. She isn’t expecting to make friends with the enemy, to risk her life to save norms, or to discover the truth of her family history.
What do you love about it?: Firstly, I'm also down for History Nerdery, especially in my sci-fi series - historians and archeologists for the win! I also just adore the worldbuilding and political and sociological and culture landscape of this world and discussions of systemic discrimination, several centuries later and diverged from our world. And that's on top of all the Complicated Family Feelings and people just Being Human and making mistakes and acting as best as they can.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Jarra and her Complicated And Tangled Family Series on one hand and worldbuilding on the other. I'll take assorted canon divergence with a side of dramatic ironies in terms of Jarra having met her family earlier (this especially relies on having read the Drago books) or just learning what it means to be Betan and filling in long-empty missing stairs in the Tell Clan family dynamics (which also kind of rely on having read the Drago books as well).
The Alliance Trilogy - E. Jade Lomax
https://ejadelomax.com/the-alliance-trilogy/ -- free
Media: Book. Sneak, Liar, and Traitor
Approximate Length: Series total word-count is roughly 275K
Where to find it: Free pdfs/epub/etc of the series are available on the author’s website here. https://ejadelomax.com/the-alliance-trilogy/
Optional canon: Sneak (77K), strictly speaking, probably isn’t necessary to write for the series. The author occasionally (with much love) disowns it because it’s more probably the prequel to a duology than Book One of a trilogy. I’m fond of it! There’s a lot of ground-work and character set-up that happens in this book! But in terms of the overall plot, it’s theoretically skippable.
Summary: Five young adults come of age on different sides of a quiet, brimming civil war: a fierce protector born into the life of a guarded young princess (Sasha), a loyal young rebel who will fight as hard to reclaim her world as the princess will to keep hers (Andrea), two orphaned boys who forged a home in each other and who both must learn how to stand on their own outside that bond built in desperate loneliness (Will and Gregory), and a young girl with an adorable button nose, at least one book on her person at all times, and more ambition than most conquering warlords (Gabrielle).
What do you love about it?: Oh god, what don’t I love about it haha? This series is, arguably, at its heart, a story about questioning your assumptions, privileges, moralities, and the fairnesses of your world. What right and wrong have you been taught? What stories have you been told? All of these characters have a Very Specific View of the world that’s immensely informed by their background and what’s “right” changes depending on who happens to be narrating at the moment. (And then there’s poor Gregory, who’s anxiously loyal and attached to pretty much everyone, even as several of his friends actively attempt to murder each other.) There aren’t really clear-cut Right Answers, only the question of “What do [you] want to do with [your] hands?”
What sort of things are you likely to request for it? The Ceren rebellion and cultural worldbuilding and in-depth character study/exploration! Give me all the morality struggles and cultural background context and difficult choices and what it’s like growing up in a world where you are othered. Also, Gabrielle The Most Ambitious Twelve And A Half Year Old Ever learning to listen and vowing to be better.
The Fixer Series - Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Media: Book, duology. The Fixer and The Long Game
Approximate Length: 100K for The Fixer, 92K for The Long Game
Where to find it: Available as ebook and paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and possibly available as either print or ebook through your local library. If anyone is interested in this canon, I'm willing to offer up one of my Fourteen Library Cards to check out the e-books for this series.
Optional canon: So for the purposes of what I'm requesting, you only probably need the first book, The Fixer. There are some juicy character lines in the second book, The Long Game, but if you're picking this up as a pinch hit and don't have the spoons/whatever to read two books, contact me through the mods and I'll send you the Juiciest Lines from book two that add context for what I'd request.
Summary: When sixteen-year-old Theresa (Tess) Kendrick is sent to live with her older sister, Ivy, she has no idea that the infamous Ivy Kendrick is Washington D.C.'s #1 ""fixer,"" known for making politicians' scandals go away for a price. Secrets pile up as each sister lives a double life...until their worlds come crashing together and Tess finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy with one of her classmates and a client of Ivy's. Suddenly, there is much more on the line than good grades, money, or politics, unbelievable family secrets are coming to life, and the price for this fix might be more than Tess is willing to pay.
What do you love about it?: I love how all the characters are messy and human and make decisions that they regret and try to atone for and know that some decisions, you just have to live with the consequences. Ivy gives her daughter to her parents to raise seventeen years ago, and is now staring at a teenaged, estranged younger sister furious at her in the face. William Keyes tried to convince his youngest son to not enlist and drove him away, eventually losing him forever, as a result. Adam Keyes someone found out about his little brother's girl and daughter, knowing his parents would have loved nothing more to welcome that little girl, and kept it from everyone including his mother. There's so much tangled and messy humanity in this series, and people (not even necessarily Good People) just trying to make the best decisions that they can, and I love it.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: All the tangled and complicated relationships around Ivy and Tess, Adam and William Keyes and Tommy as the ghost hovering over it all. There's so much unexplored and emotionally fraught backstory here, and I'd absolutely love anything that mined those depths.
Kiesha'ra Series - Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kiesha%27ra_Series
The Kiesha'ra Series is a set of five fantasy novels written by the young adult author, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, which focus on several races of shapeshifters, including the avians (bird people), the serpiente (snake people), and the shm'Ahnmik (falcon people).
The Aurelian Cycle - Rosaria Munda
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087JL9XDQ -- $27.97 USD for the entire series, also likely available at your local library
Media: Book. Fireborne, Flamefall, and Furysong
Approximate Length: Series total word-count is roughly 360K
Where to find it: Available as e-book from Amazon or Barnes&Noble, or possibly at a local library.
Summary: Annie and Lee were just children when a brutal revolution changed their world. In its aftermath, dragons are no longer ridden by the scions of aristocratic families. Instead, children chosen for their intelligence and character are selected to become the next generation of dragon-riders. Her peasant family was executed by their lord's dragonfire. His aristocratic family was murdered at the hands of revolutionaries. Now they are both rising stars in the new regime, despite backgrounds that couldn't be more different. An aristocrat in hiding and a former serf, when survivors from the old regime surface, bent on reclaiming the city, they have to decide whether they really can leave the past behind them - and if the new regime really is better than what came before.
It's not just about a revolution, but also the children who had to pick up the bloody pieces afterwards. I wanted to imagine an orphaned aristocrat who has every reason to seek revenge, until he realizes that maybe, his family did wrong, too.
What do you love about it?: This series is absolutely great. It's not just about a revolution, but also the children who had to pick up the bloody pieces afterwards. Orphans with every reason to seek revenge, until they realize that maybe, their family did wrong, too. It goes into politics and how one builds a world after a revolution, the blood and guts and cyclical tendencies of revolution and decision making in the aftermath, how the road to hell is paved with the best intentions that aren't actually a panacea against dead bodies, that specific feeling when you're stuck in a awful situation and all your choices are absolutely terrible and end with dead people and all you can do is choose which people die. I also love the relationships in this series, and how the relationships push and pull characters in directions while still being true to themselves, what it means to grow up and how identities are formed and the way conflicts reveal who people are in all sorts of ways, and owns up to the reality that trauma doesn't better anyone - that sometimes, it just breaks them.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Deep character study fics are among my favorite things to read. I'd also be interested in requesting post-canon developments. Behind the scenes/just outside canon examinations of characters (read: Julia) would be absolutely lovely as well.

The story focuses on a young adult named Atsushi Nakajima, who is the main character. After being kicked out of his orphanage, Atsushi saves a detective named Osamu Dazai, believing he was drowning in the river (Suicide). During his interactions with Dazai, Atsushi learns he is gifted with a supernatural ability capable of transforming him into a berserker white tiger in the moonlight; which was why the orphanage tortured him and kicked him out.

Overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Closed
Jimmy Kudo (Japanese name: Shinichi Kudo) is a high school detective who sometimes works with the police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is ambushed and incapacitated by a member of a crime syndicate known as the Black Organization.

Throughout the series, he tags along on Richard's cases. Nonetheless, after Kudo solves one, he will use Dr. Agasa's hidden tranquilizer to sedate Richard and then uses a voice changer to simulate his voice to reveal the solution. He also enrolls in Teitan Elementary School where he makes friends with a group of classmates who form their own Junior Detective League (Detective Boys). While he continues to dig deeper into the Black Organization, he frequently interacts with other characters, including his neighbor, Dr. Agasa, Ran's friend Serena Sebastian (Sonoko Suzuki), a fellow teenage detective Harley Hartwell (Heiji Hattori), assorted police detectives from different regions, and a phantom thief called Kaito Kid.
