narya_flameHad a busy few days, so playing catch up!
Day 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.
This year I've seen so many people wishing that fandom would chill the F out and be a bit nicer, which I definitely agree with. In that spirit, I'm going to adapt something from my Silmarillion Writers' Guild holiday wish list, which was intended to encourage people to take a breath and look at the world, but also to use their fannish instincts at the same time:
Notice the world around you; find (and photograph?) a little corner of it that makes you think of your favourite fandom setting. That could be a tapestry that reminds you of Cintra, a weird landscape feature that could have come straight out of Star Wars, a ruin that Marcus Flavius Aquila might have seen in all its glory, a bar where you think the Avengers might gather, or a flower you think Sam Gamgee would love.
If you feel comfortable linking to pictures in the comments, I'd love to see what you come up with!
Day 5
In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do.
Hmm. Well, my Tolkien fic ideas list is enormous, but I've accepted that I'm never going to write everything on it, and that's OK; I'm not going to beat myself up over the ones I don't get to. The list is a lovely resource to have in its own right.
I can't really think of much else that would be relevant to this particular challenge, so I'm calling that done!
