Snowflake Challenge #5 - Create a Wishlist

[jedibuttercup]

Challenge #5 - In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.

Like a lot of other people answering this one, I have a problem asking for things. It feels a little presumptuous! Also, showing a little more of my face than usual to the public, which has always been difficult for me as an introvert with ADHD and rejection sensitivity.

There's an extra layer there with fandom, though, that for some reason has always made it easier to navigate for me-- the positive comments always feel more engaging, and the negative comments less personal, for some reason. Go figure. So that's what my wishes focus around. :)

1. Recs for other people's favorite fanfic in one of my fandoms (link to my profile on AO3). I don't have a lot of time to go looking around the Internet these days outside of exchange fandom, and I'm definitely out of step with the majority of exchange fandom these days.

2. Feedback on my stories. I don't require it to write-- I've been writing since I was very young for my own entertainment-- but kudos/likes and especially comments help fuel and shape my published writing activity online. My goal with that is always to add more smiles to the world, and in return, that kind of feedback definitely adds smiles to mine.

3. Media for my stories! I am always thrilled when I wake up to find a Related Work Notification for a new icon or piece of art or a podfic etc. in my inbox unprompted. Positive feedback again!

That's from least to most effort, but to be clear, I don't expect anyone who sees this to fill any one of them. This is just fannish stuff that makes my day to receive. :)

I went to look for stuff to rec in your fandoms, and most of it was by you, lol.

I'm watching this post, because we've been in a lot of the same fandoms, and I'm ALSO out of touch with what's good.

:) :) :) Lol. I hate to think I'm getting to be a Fandom Old, but that's what happens when the years keep passing, I guess!

Hi! Coming here from the snowflake challenge page ^-^

It's not a fic, but I saw BTVS at the top of your fandom list and I remembered this fanvid series set to Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" that I think is more than worth the watch -very varied, showcases a lot of characters and relationships. The creators have other great fanvids in their pages, from this and other fandoms.

And I see you do a lot of crossovers, which inevitably made me think of one of my favourite fics: la petite mort, a Barbie/Dracula crossover that's the perfect example of what crack-treated-seriously can be.

Hello! I arrived via the Snowflake Challenge. Just left comments on your Buffy/White Collar crossovers, and will be continuing to read and leave feedback on your work, wherever I know or can parse the fandoms. I really enjoy your storytelling skills. ❤️❤️❤️

Just Go Kill Palpatine by Nevertheless_turtle
"In Which Obi-Wan Kenobi is Shown Holofootage of His 12-Year Old Padawan in a Seedy Nightclub With The Chancellor of the Republic And Has A Proportionate Response."

Gives excellent self-indulgent id/crack-fic.

You Shall Become (Me) by Jedipati
"The Guardian of the Sith Temple doesn’t particularly care for the new breed of Sith, for all that they’ve been around for 1,000 years. But they’re the only Sith the Guardian knows about. Until one day…

Alternately, "How to accidentally join the Sith without really trying.""

So LOLsome, crack and fluff with some suspense/action scenes.

Back From the Future: Episode VI The Clone Wars by Ariel_Sojourner
"In which Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader travel back in time together to the Clone Wars era, have amazing adventures, and save the galaxy.
Series"

Cracky, hurty-but-good.

Fundamental Force Carriers bt tanarill
"The Sith Lord Darth Vader lived his life. He probably didn't live it well, but he lived it as well as he knew how. At the end there, he'd even managed to woman up and kill Sidious. But he was dying, and at peace with the past.

The past wasn't at peace with him.

Not crack, but has elements like "Grown-Up!Anakin Tells Off The Jedi Council", "Sidious Gets His Ass Handed To Him", and "Anakin and Obi-Wan Finally Talk About Their Feelings!" It's long, but really good. Definitely my favorite prequel-Era fic.
