Snowflake 2021 #8

[jedi_of_urth]

So, for real life reasons I haven't been able to do the last couple Snowflake days, but now I'll start catching up.

Challenge #8

In your own space, create a wishlist. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I wish I could find a beta reader for my AoS fic. I've got a couple that wouldn't take much for me to send to a beta, and a couple more that if I knew I had someone to help me polish them I'd probably finally finish them. Some have been sitting around for a while but I'm not confident enough on my own to do anything with them.

I wish fandom would find a new home (as in not tumblr or twitter) and that it would be one with comment threads; that was a mistake for fandom to lose.

I wish for some comments on one of my old fics or vids; I recognize my own fault for leaving things in journal-land instead of AO3, but I feels like some things have never been read. Or if someone wanted to pop in for a discussion on one or more of my reaction/reviews.

I wish we could stop living in interesting times.

I wish I could find a couple of old fics from fandoms past that were unfinished and maybe never were, but I didn't keep track of them to know.

A good list. A proper fandom home that functions as LJ did fifteen years ago would be ideal. There's so much fragmentation these days.

Thank you for taking part.

I hear you, I'm quite ready to return to life as we knew it, however boring it was!

It's sad that fandom has got so fragmented, people have scattered to so many different platforms now and I am sure that I am missing a lot, but I seriously don't get Tumblr, Pillowfort, Discord, etc. It's such a shame.

I've bookmarked your page so I can come back and explore your fic when I have a little more time. I'm always up for something new to read, whether I know the fandom or not :)

One thing I can say about doing Snowflake, is it's pulling some of us back together, if only for a little while (and we'll if we keep it going past January).

And well, maybe something you can say about me playing catch-up, now I have a top recommends list of my fic if any of it is something that works for you.

Excellent! Thank you :)

I also miss fandom being in one central location. I like seeing the pretty on Tumblr, but it sucks for having any kind of conversation with anyone. It's so hard do discover where the action is happening now.

I wish we could stop living in interesting times.

Oh man, yes!
