Snowflake Challenge: Fannish Wishlist

[gabolange]

Okay, maybe I am doing Snowflake Challenge...a little.



Challenge #3

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive.

I have only two things I really want to exist in the world that do not seem to, and one request for the universe.

1) Art: A proper poster I can frame and hang in my office that has the Star Trek emblem with the words "Ad Astra Per Aspera" on it. I have been trying to buy this but it does not exist, and I would pay to commission this, genuinely.

2) Vid: A Bablyon 5 Londo Mollari vid to Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero." Because *come on* nothing has ever been so perfect.

3) I also would love for folks to go...fill a fandom stocking or comment on a story they've been meaning to or find a story that doesn't have the kudos or comments it should and give the author props or rec it to a friend or something. Send joy into the fannish world.

Oh goodness I hope your wish for the ST poster comes to fruition, that would be awesome. I can't vid to save my life, but there are so many talented vidders out there so keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I love when people make personal fannish wishes, but also really generous general ones like your last one. It's so easy to think 'oh yeah, I'll get around to that one' and then it doesn't happen, so with this one you're definitely sending good vibes out into the fannish universe.

I sort of can't believe the poster doesn't exist--feels like Paramount is missing a good merch opportunity! (I will, however, take a plush Moopsy when one becomes available!)

Fingers crossed for lots of good fannish vibes!

Send joy into the fannish world.

I love this.

[gabolange]

We can all use a little extra joy these days. <3

i have never thought about a star trek poster like that, but now i have a great need. luckily, this is something i may be able to design :>

do you have any thoughts about colors? how about sizing?

[gabolange]

Oh, wow, I am delighted to inspire you! This is exciting! <3

I think - standard sizing (18x24 or 24x36) and for colors I would probably stick with Trek classic. Either classic Trek primary colors (thinking of something like the posters from The Motion Picture) or something using the modern gold and black. I am generally a minimalist in these things!

Sending joy into the fannish world is an excellent wish - but I also LOVE your wish for the B5 vid!!!!! I wish I could vid, because it would be AWESOME.

[gabolange]

I know, I occasionally have ideas like this that *really* make me wish I could vid...but alas, I cannot, so hopefully the universe will see this list and respond! :D

Wish Granted!

Go look at my wishlist, and scroll down to Wishes Granted. I've been listing the ones that are more than just a few words of comment.

Oh, that's lovely! Thank you!

They were playing "Anti-Hero" in the grocery store just now, and cosign me to that particular fannish wish. As we have discussed previously, but still.

I'm just going to have to bribe runawaynun at some point. Maybe I'll write some For All Mankind fic.
