snowflake challenge #3 - fandom wishlist

i've been doing the [community profile] snowflake_challenge this year (though i skipped #2 because i am terrible at setting goals) and #3 is all about a fandom wishlist!

which... is honestly about as difficult for me to think of stuff for as a list of goals. this is partially because the adhd means i hyperfocus on one fandom at a time, usually, and that makes thinking of a broad wishlist a challenge. but, hey, that's the name of the game here, isn't it?

so here we go. things lyn would love to see in fandom someday:

  • fanart of omega squad and/or the nulls from republic commando. there's some out there!! but i always want more
  • repcomm longfic. i love the fic that's out there but i'm truly a longfic lover at heart and i would absolutely die if i had a really nice longfic to sink my teeth into
  • old fashioned fanmixes, with the download links and the custom covers. don't get me wrong, i love that people have long ass spotify playlists these days, but. uh. i don't use spotify, lol
  • clone wars-themed knitting patterns. there's a few on ravelry that i've been eyeing (i've even got the yarn to make myself a rex hat but it's a Lot of color work and idk if my skills are there yet) but i'm always like MORE PLS
  • rec lists!! these were how i got around fandom when i was a wee thing and i miss having long rec lists to read through. (though i must shout out [tumblr.com profile] gffa who does lovely rec lists, even if their otp is something i'm not into)
  • more aroace fic. i got to beta a fic for [tumblr.com profile] clonebang that's very aroace!niner focused and it was just--ugh. such a delight. it's such a good fic and i'm excited to shove it in everyone's faces when it comes out. but!! it's made me crave aroace characters in fic even more
  • some way to listen to the repcomm books whilst i'm knitting or doing other stuff. there's no audiobooks and i... have no idea how screen reading/tts technology works


on a more personal note, i kind of have a 2024 fandom wishlist for myself. which i suppose is kind of combining days two and three (goals + wishlist) except i feel like these aren't exactly things i have confidence in achieving, if that makes sense?

  • i want to finish and post a fic that's 10k words or longer. i know i've got the stories in me!! it's just a matter of actually getting the words out
  • i want to draw or commission art of all of my star wars ocs and get less shy about talking about them
  • i want to do a podfic. i'm so sadly picky about podfics and i know i would have fun recording one, but every time i think about doing it there's a little voice in the back of my head that's like "okay but what if someone who knows you IRL recognizes your voice??" and i keep listening to it even if i think what it's saying is stupid lkasjdf


now it's time, i think, to go through other people's wishlists and see if anything sparks inspiration :> i've got a lot of free time this weekend and an itch to do something creative
