Snowflake challenge, Day 2

[osprey_archer]

I have been meaning to do the snowflake_challenge for years, but I also forgot until the middle of January. But this year! This year egelantier's post reminded me, and so I am doing it.

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. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

1. Ficlets! I always like ficlets.

-Sutcliff fandom. I'm particularly fond of Lucius from Frontier Wolf, or fix-it Alexia/Jestyn/Anders from Blood Feud, or anything Bonnie Dundee.

-MCU. I am into most combinations of Steve, Bucky, Sam, and Natasha, shippy or otherwise. Actually, a fic where they all just hang out and have a pleasant afternoon might be nice. I could totally see Bucky insisting that they all watch The Matrix, and he and Natasha practically end up crawling under the couch because it hits so many of their paranoia buttons, but they refuse to turn it off because that would mean the movie wins. Okay, that's actually not a very pleasant afternoon after all...

- Agents of SHIELD. Simmons/Bobbie, Simmons/Skye, Skye/making ridiculous faces - okay, probably that would make more sense for fanart than a story. I feel like I could be into Fitz/Mack, but I'm leery about reading the fic because there are so many ways that could go wrong (chief among them bashing Simmons, who is my favorite. I probably would never get over her either if I was Fitz. Nonetheless, Fitz, you should work on that.)

2. Fic recs of any of these things! I think I've read most of the Sutcliff stories on AO3, but I know I've only skimmed the surface on MCU fics, and I'm not sure where to start with AoS fic.

3. Related works for my fics. I am especially partial to fanart or related fics (or ficlets), but podcasts and translations are glorious too.

I would also probably die of joy if someone wrote fic for my books, although I realize they are completely the wrong genre for that sort of thing. I would probably ship the characters with anyone they aren't actually related to, though. Just throwing that out there.

This pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter.

I always feel rather torn about being judgmental at Fitz for this. Because I wouldn't do any better! But, at the same time, the longer he spends endlessly pining, the more likely it is that the TV show will reward him with Simmons in the end, because that's just how TV works. And I'm not really feeling that.

How long is a ficlet, typically? (I can't do any of these--I don't know the non-you fandoms well enough, and your books, which I love so very much, are just so one hundred percent *you* that I just couldn't even try. So I'm asking purely out of curiosity.)

Oh but fanart! I could maybe do that. Maybe that's what I'll try....

I've always conceived of a ficlet as anything less than a thousand words - particularly anything less than 500 words. But I'm not sure if that's a fandom standard or simply my own idiosyncratic definition.

I still treasure the drawing you made of Marcus holding Cottia!fox.
