Snowflake Challenge #8: When You Wish Upon the Net

[ng_moonmoth]

You 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.

Not at all. QUILTBAG is an acronym representing a large variety of the English words that describe various members of the gender- and sexually-variant community. I find it pleasing because it's an actual word, denoting a bag that someone who does quilting uses to carry the fabric and tools they are using. The contents, and often the bag itself, employ a wide range of patterns and colors, which nicely represent to me the variety of the community. The word doesn't need as much modification to include new categories as they identify themselves, and centers "queer/questioning", which feels more inclusive to me, for even a lot of people who eventually identify themselves as something else start there.
