ng_moonmothYou don't know quite what you'll get! Guess I'll find out.
I've been putting my responses to these questions on a filter, so I don't have to gender- and identity-police myself quite so strictly to maintain the general feel of the blog, but this is a wishlist the doesn't interfere with those things, so I'm putting it out for larger circulation. All I ask is that any work you send me because of this prompt is something you did because you yourself wanted to do it, not because I asked for it.
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.
Your wishlist can be anything between one and ten wishes as a rough guide.
Have you ever wished for icons for a character(s) or a fandom; art for a story, podfic or fanmix you’ve created; a podfic for a story you’ve written; or a story for some artwork you’ve created? Do you have a plotbunny you’d like someone to adopt?
Maybe you'd like to find more people to squee with over your favourite fandom; or someone to collaborate with over a project? If you are new to a fandom would you like some story recs, or communities to join? Or would you like some recommendations for a new fandom?
Or is there something else you would like? If so, this is your opportunity to ask!
Note: If you would like artwork or podfic, please include a link to your story/podfic/fanmix. If you’ve requested icons or other artwork it’s helpful if you can link to any screencaps or image galleries.
More works that center queer people (pretty much anyone in the QUILTBAG) that don't center the queerness. That is, the story is not about the people being queer; instead, it's a story about something, and there are multiple queer people in it, and they mostly talk about anything other than being queer. If you aren't up to making one yourself, recs are fine and would be appreciated.
Song prompts for me. Anything I can use as inspiration for a song will work. ight write original music, might write parody, but it will be something I wrote. No guarantee of if or when I'll get around to it, but I promise I'll take a look.
Icons of anyone at my Snowflake Challenge dinner party:
Charlie Stross' Laundry Files creations Bob, Mo, Pinky, Brain, and Persephone.
ysabetwordsmith's creations from a number of storylines (see notes):
Astin, Palmer, V, Spalling, and Backup from their Army of One storyline;
Kenzie, Blair, Bobtail, Smoking Breath, and Blazing Grass from their Polychrome Heroics Iron Horses storyline;
Captain Left and Captain Right from their Polychrrome Heroics Kraken storyline;
Salvo from their Polychrome Heroics Cuoio and Chiara storyline.
CJ Cherryh's creations Tully from the Chanur storyline, and Tabini-aiji and extended family plus Bren Cameron to translate, from the Foreigner storyline.

Re: Thoughts
Date: 2021-01-17 01:59 am (UTC)I described the whole process here.
I just never have the patience to wait 20-30 years while other people fumble through all the steps that suck. New trait? Trait!hero! Boom. Done. If I fuck it up for lack of essential details, I figure the trait-having people will point out what's wrong or missing, and then I can hustle them for trait-written references so I can either fix the first thing or write another thing. It's worked so far.
>>One of the many reasons why I read, prompt, and sponsor.<<
My crowdfunding work: chucking literature into the culture gaps since 2007. \o/
>>I've noticed the concept beginning to show up in more mainstream contexts. <<
They do eventually figure it out. Hardly anyone thinks left-handed people are evil anymore.
>>That's a really neat aural image. Taking it in to see whether it inspires anything.<<
Yay! Some electronic keyboards have a really good "ice" voice or two. A few percussion instruments do. I have an onyx windchime that does.
>>I'll take a look. I usually at least poke a bit at anything of yours that might be a song.<<
Okay, I checked. All the lyrical ones have been sponsored and posted except "Tempestry," the pantoum about temperature blankets. Do you want a backchannel copy of that?
>> "Bonfires on a dark summer's evening". Which is getting me thinking about the bonfires around midsummer in various places, and Lammas night, and the beacons of Gondor. <<
Nice.
>> For a bonfire is not something one makes S'mores over, after all. <<
*laugh* Yeah, we do that. You just have to wait until it burns down to a bed of coals. Unless you like to light your marshmallows on fire, cooking them over open flame is a poor idea, even with a small campfire. They're very flammable. To get a golden brown, gooey marshmallow you need radiant heat rising from coals. Our firepit is big, so we build good-sized bonfires sometimes.
