Day 6

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

Every year, I know this one comes, and every year I still get stumped. So, adhering to the "wish" part of "wishlist" -

1. Transformative works based on my own stories. Fanart, cover art, banners, remixes, icons, commentary - I'd love to see what people come up with. It's all good.

2. Fic recs for stories with disabled characters that aren't disability fic. My go-to example is Everything About It Is A Love Song, where Charles Xavier's disability is a significant factor in his everyday life and the story is him learning to share his life with Erik. I've done a fair bit of this, but I'd always love to read more. (Josh Lyman/Joey Lucas, anyone?)

3. An icon of Steve Rogers - maybe in Times Square at the end of The First Avenger, maybe a shot of him staring up at the sky in full uniform, maybe just Steve - with the words "nobody lives to see the future."

Because, really, Steve and Bucky are the only people who've lived to see the future.

4. Comments on my fics. Because everyone wants that, and I'm no exception.

5. More fandom meetups. Not for me - I've got the NYC Fanbrunch already - but I wish to hear that other people in other cities are doing it, too. I know DC and Boston do them, and I've heard that Dallas has begun one, too. And I'd still like to hear about more, even if it's just three people in a Starbucks. Conventions are lovely and joyful, but we can't have them every month. A small-scale get-together in a restaurant or someone's backyard is much more achievable on a regular basis. Fans are social creatures, and we need to maintain contact with each other.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm trying to offer people fanart, but I'm also sort of swamped, so it's going to be a matter of who reminds me in February when I have some free time.

I've taken today to catch up on comments, so if you want this as a reminder, feel free.

I would love to find more fans in my area! I live in the boonies in upstate NY. :(

Do you know more about the Dallas one? If I'm recalling correctly, someone asked for fans in the Dallas area for this challenge.

It's times like this I bemoan the lack of public transportation infrastructure in the United States. I know people in Upstate NY, but there's so much upstate that doesn't help anyone.
