Snowflake Challenge: Day 4

[armanya]

Day 4: 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.

By the way, it's my birthday tomorrow. ;)

Let's put a note about fandoms first. I will check out works in any fandom if it has what I want and is good quality. But my main interests right now are: Sherlock (BBC), Queer as Folk (US), Supernatural (both FPF and RPF), One Direction RPF, Bandom RPF, Adam Lambert RPF, Firefly, Babylon 5. But I'm really not joking about the any fandom thing, I've read some pretty obscure stuff. :)

1. I think I can count this because I have really only spoken up loudly about wanting this in the past few days? Give me more D/s and BDSM focusing on emotions, please? I'll take both recs and new works. I made this little nifty post of inspiration for what I want. As mentioned, I'd love fanworks that focuses on aftercare, in particular. I feel like aftercare is skipped/cut short way too often. (I am guilty of this myself, too.) I guess this might be best suited to fic but I'm very open to other media used for this.

2. I sit here secretly wishing that someone, anyone, would be inspired to create podfic, art, remixes and/or fanmixes based on any of my fics. Or any other secondary fanworks. So you know, if there's anyone out there who's been too shy to approach me about this just know that it would make me super happy. :)

3. I wish more people would come play and set a word goal for 2013 at 1millionwords. I just think it'll be fun to follow each other's progress and I know there's some challenges and stuff planned to get everyone inspired.

4. And lastly, being a mommy now I feel like I never have enough time, energy and patience over to create a journal layout and/or header. And I'd really like my journal to reflect me a bit more? So if there's any kind person out there who has some time over to make my DW journal a bit prettier it'd make me very happy. :D Here's a link to my LiveJournal for an idea of the kind of layout I like.

Via Snowflake - Happy Birthday for tomorrow!


I'm not a big bdsm hand (I mostly write slightly ludicrous gen) but I have written a wee Mikey Way/Adam Lambert fic that might suit your request: http://archiveofourown.org/works/343995 - it's locked to AO3 members only, let me know if that doesn't work for you and if you still want to read it and I'll figure something out :)

[armanya]

Thank you! :D

I'll definitely check that fic out later when kidlet goes to sleep. :)

Happy birthday for today/tomorrow!

And re no. 1.

Please be having a 100 words from Adam's pov.

Closing his eyes, his head rested against the pillow as he counted his breaths in and out, like he'd been asked. Falling into the rhythm of the fingers stroking his hair, still enough in his own space that he seemed to be able to feel the touch right to the very ends.

Slowly the breathing brought him back, the sensitivity receding allowing him to once again open his eyes and face the world. As he did so a glass of water was offered to him, hands there to guide and help him as necessary.

Tommy there for him as always.

[armanya]

Oh wow. That was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much. <3

[katzb101]

You're welcome.

[seyren]

Aww, that last line <3

[katzb101]

Thank you.

Happy birthday!

And, sorry if you already know this, but here's a few ways to get your name out there for transformative fan works:

1. Post a Transformative Works Statement on DW, LJ, and AO3.
2. Give your name on the Fanlore Blanket Permission List.
3. Google "blanket permission [fandom]" and get your name on any other relevant lists.

This should make you a lot more visible to the community.

Have a wonderful birthday!

[armanya]

Thanks!

I do have a (I hope it's enough-ish) statement but I've been out of touch with fandom a while and am just generally bad at participating in stuff so I haven't put my name to any lists, will have to look into this. :)

Happy Birthday!

[armanya]

Thank you! :)

Here via snowflake!

What fandoms do you like? I know of two pieces that might fit your first wish (recs for BDSM fics that focus on emotions).

[armanya]

I listed a few fandoms above my wishes, but in all honesty, I will read any fandom for good fic. Even if it's a fandom I don't know I can usually work with reading it as original fic unless knowing the fandom is necessary to understand the plot.

So feel free to throw me recs and I'll check them out either way. :)

[alafaye]

Okay then! I've got two for you that don't follow canon so they're easy enough to read as original fic. One of them is a shameless self-rec, but one that handles the change in a relationship of a D/s relationship:

Switch

and then this one is about someone who is healing from abuse, but has D/s needs:

The Perfect Storm

1. a Bandom rec for you:

[armanya]

Thank you. <3 One I actually haven't read, too!

happy Birthday <3333

[armanya]

Thank you <3

Hi there!

First of all: Happy Birthday! It's a little late but better than not at all, right? Also, I come with presents. ;) You have been podficced! I read through this post and thought here is a wish I can actually fulfill. Supernatural is my main fandom and I love QaF and Sherlock. I was a little confused when I opened your AO3 and only found bandom fics. :D Well, it's called Snowflake Challenge. I challenged myself and started reading through your stuff. It's very well written so I just decided to record anyway. The fic was chosen relatively randomly but fluff is always nice. So here is Accidentally in Love (http://www.mediafire.com/?opbrk2m836weaoi) for you. I hope you like it! \o/

Of course I didn't post this anywhere so far since you couldn't give permission yet. Also if you like it there is the possibility to record more. I just wanted to give you a finished podfic instead of asking which fic you would love to be recorded. So yeah... I'm rambling. I hope you enjoy listening!

♥ Nia

[armanya]

Oh yay thank you! <3 Unfortunately my computer is broken so can't check it out till that's fixed but I think I should have it sorted by Friday, just wanted to drop you a note so you know what's going on. :)

I give blanket permission to podfic btw so you don't need my permission to post it somewhere if you want to, I just ask people to link back to my story in that case...

And yeah I read in a lot more fandoms than I write in... I keep meaning to change that but TIME.

Oh yeah I also ramble obv... :p

But anyway I'll listen to it and comment again once I have a working computer again!
