Fandom snowflake Day 6

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.

I seem to ask for a lot of the same things, but I guess the things we want don't change that much over time, do they? Okay, well, here goes:

1. Alpha reader(s)/cheerleader(s): I write longform most of all. Which means my stories are huge and sit at multiple thousands of words for a long time. Which means having someone who's excited about them and willing to bug me for more about the story helps immensely. I have had a few people here and there do this for me over the years, but I also have a weird reaction where I also seem to stop writing when this happens. The best situation for me has always been when I have a partner doing this, where we're both working on longform works and we egg each other on. So if you're looking for something like that, hit me up. Or if you just want to get a sneak peak at what I'm writing, hit me up.

2. Podficcc!!! I love podfic SO MUCH and would adore podfic of any of my stories. I know the podfic archive is a little jacked right now, so I'm happy to host on my wife's site if you need somewhere to host. <3

3. The thing I just cannot do: art. I love art and artists, and I am happy to be the recipient of anything vaguely art-like because I have not just zero talent at it, but actual NEGATIVE talent. I am in love with fanartists, so this is always just the thing that takes my breath away. It's one of the reasons I still sign up for those old-fashioned, crappy, art-is-a-reward-for-fic bangs - because I love art and will do almost anything for it. (I do also commission artists, so I try not to be a jackass, mostly, but. ART!!!)

Lol apparently I'm feeling selfish

So, my snowflake day 6 is truly all about me - I want these things, so I asked for them. Normally I'm more giving than that. Other people have reminded me of things I've brought up in the past (requests for fills on fandom_stocking, posting blanket permission statements, recs, etc.). I guess I was just feeling super selfish this year. 2018 was a long, crappy year for me, so I'm just owning it. I want some nice things for myself.

But I would also like folks to do fandom_stocking fills and put up blanket permission statements. Also, as one of the snowflakes said, accept that drabbles are 100 words exactly, damn it.
