Sunshine Challenge: Day 5: Wishlist Fulfillment

[dunmurderin]

Prompt 5: Wish Fulfilment:

For more on the sunshine_challenge click on the link.

The idea behind this challenge, the idea is/was to look around and find someone else's wish to fulfill for them. This is my wishlist for folks who might be looking for something.

Really, all I'd like is for folks to say howdy.

Ok, also, if you'd like to read my fics and leave a comment, that would be awesome. My stuff can be found at:
kepulver @ Fanfiction.Net or at dunmurderin. The fandoms I've written in include Transformers (mostly related to the G1 cartoon/comics), GI Joe (both Real American Hero and Sigma Six), Jem and the Holograms, Star Wars (based primarily in the Clone Wars cartoon and the Republic Commandos books/video game universe) and some X-Men: Age of Apocalypse stories.

Actually, if you read anything of mine and leave a comment on it, that would be awesome! I have a non-fannish journal over at Doomsday Writer @ Wordpress.com.

Hello!

Have you read the IDW Jem comics? I suspect they're a different take compared to the 80s cartoon, but I enjoyed going through their trades and getting to know the Holograms this time around.

[dunmurderin]

Yes I have and they are but they are brilliant! I love their take on both bands!

[silveradept]

Pizazz was definitely one of my favorites in the new comics. Good front woman who knows when there's too much bullshit for her or the band to suffer through.

[dunmurderin]

I need to reread those books, but yes! I liked how the original show gave the characters more depth than just Holograms Good, Misfits Bad and I think the comics did an even better job of doubling down on making the characters more three-dimensional.

I think that's one of the advantages Jem and the Holograms had over GI Joe and/or Transformers: smaller cast = more chance at character development.

[silveradept]

True. Also made the marketing easier, I'm guessing, but not having to worry about how to introduce six new toys into the storyline.

[dunmurderin]

Ohhh yeah; though GI Joe had a pretty easy time of it 'Here's these new recruits!" "Oh, hi guys!"

Do you have an AO3 section yet? It's a far, far better venue than Fanfiction.net. Besides not fighting the eternal War on Punctuation, AO3 doesn't have restrictions against mature content, and they support e-book downloads of fics for people that like to read offline on their various devices. And that's just the beginning.

AO3

[oldtoadwoman]

I second the vote for AO3. I realize if you've already got a ton of stuff located elsewhere it would be a pain to copy over, but AO3 is my favorite fic platform these days.

Re: AO3

[dunmurderin]

I've got a lot of stuff, but I'm thinking of picking and choosing some of my favorites to either send over as is or to edit/fix up and then repost over there. 8)

[dunmurderin]

I do have an AO3 account (and have since like, 2011 or something equally ridiculous), but I haven't posted anything yet. I'm considering rewriting/editing some of my older fics and moving them over there. I'm working on actually finishing Common Cause for AO3.

howdy!

[oldtoadwoman]

Really, all I'd like is for folks to say howdy.

Yeah. I honestly just appreciate being reminded that other people are out there.

[dunmurderin]

It's nice; I didn't realize until recently how much I do like to socialize.

socializing

[oldtoadwoman]

It entirely depends on who I am socializing with. Some people sort of drain your energy because you have to filter your behavior around them. (Work events, that one relative who's always critical, that one friend who offers advice you didn't ask for, etc.) But other people totally recharge me and I want to hang out with them more often and for longer.

I have this fantasy house in my mind where all my fannish friends could live together with a big shared library, etc. But even in my fantasy world, I draw lines. There need to be two refrigerators, one for community sharing and one where everyone has a labeled bin and you leave other people's bins alone. There need to be two TV rooms full of comfy furniture so not everyone has to agree on the same thing at the same time; some people can watch a movie while others game, etc. A messy art room where it's okay if you accidentally get paint on the wall and a clean sewing/crafting room where you never bring in anything that might spill. Lots of common spaces where people can hang out and chat, but everyone has a private bedroom and bathroom so you can comfortably retreat when you need alone time. I vacillate between craving human contact and wanting to hide under a rock.

Re: socializing

[dunmurderin]

True, true.

I think something like a compound where you've got a big lodge style house where folks can congregate for social time and there's a library,, art room, etc. and then little cottages where folks can sleep/recharge/decompress, would be my ideal communal living situation.

Re: socializing

[oldtoadwoman]

Yup. I like it.

Followed you at Wordpress with my non-fannish id, lmdee :)

[dunmurderin]

Thank you!
