Snowflake day 3

Challenge #3

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Oh gosh! I obviously do not feel entitled to expect any of these wishes to coming true, but in the spirit of blue-sky thinking, here's some things that would make my entire year:

• A shippy Fletch/Godber Porridge fanwork of any variety.
• A synopsis of, or fanwork about, a hypothetical episode of The Muppet Show (1976-1981) where the very special guest is a contemporary 2020s celebrity. Time travel optional, and feel free to use any medium (text, audio, audiovisual, visual, etc.) or format, e.g. meta, notfic, oral notfic, fanart, etc.
• An unconventional soulmate AU, or a fake dating fanwork, about Roman Roy/Gerri Kellman.
• A recommendation of a new-to-me fandom with a canon younger man/older woman ship.
• A Survivor (as in the reality TV show) AU for any of my fandoms (anything I have a fandom tag on Dreamwidth for and anything I've created a fanwork for on AO3, besides Teen Wolf which I'm not really into anymore, is fair game).

Oh, hmm, let me think about how to go about this in a way that's not just very fandom specific.

Here goes!

• I love words and wordplay and writing sentence-level prose that I find sonically, or otherwise, satisfying (which I fixate on often at the expense of doing a better job with larger structural stuff, or in deprioritising writing things that sound plausible instead of that just make my brain fizz).
• Another of my writing foibles is that I can't bear to write sad things that aren't in any way funny, or funny things that aren't a bit sad.
• I am very over-confident and self-satisfied while also being profoundly insecure and embarrassed by every minute aspect of my person.
• I often try to be a dilettante and an expert, with varying degrees of success.
• I am instinctively very good at understanding cat body language, but had to learn human social skills from my culture of origin very deliberately and by rote and only really got the hang of them in my mid-twenties.
• I'm really going to try to have one that is unambiguously positive now: I am well loved by many wonderful friends who I met through fandom.
