Snowflake Challenge Day 4

Challenge #4

In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I meant to do this one the day it came out and I just felt so blahhh that I have written hardly anything since last week maybe. But here goes.

1. For myself, I would love art for any of my stories, particularly Steve and Natasha ones. You can find my work on Ao3. I also like podfic and remixes. MY transformative work policy is on my profile.

2. For me, I'd also love a beta/fanfic friend for my work. I don't know of those exist anymore. I write MCU mostly but check out my Ao3 link above for other fandoms, if you're interested. I'd love to beta for you, too.

3. I'd love to see more community in fandoms. Back in the heyday of Livejournal and Yahoo Groups, we had a sense of community and friendship that is harder to find today. I'm mostly here at home with hubby and most of my social interaction is online so some fan friends would be fantastic.

4. I would love for fandoms to be more tolerant of all types of writing and writers. Tumblr seems to have brought a strange landscape to fandom - a cliquish, unwelcoming one. We don't all write or read the same stuff.

And that's about it!

I'm not a MCU fan, although I occasionally read fics in the fandom, but I'd be happy to beta for you.

MCU seems to have really scattered the last few years, or maybe post CA:CW. There's a couple ship communities, but otherwise it feels very decentralised. I am mostly on the edges of it though.

Hi! I hope all your wishes are granted, but especially 3 & 4, because even on the periphery of just about everything I see too much anti behavior, and darn, do I miss the community feeling of early-days LJ.
