kateIn 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!!!)

For easy organization later:

on 1/8/19 06:18 am (UTC)YAAAS Sam/Rowena is my jam! I had an idea for a fic of that ship (AU, ofc) where Sam is a divorce lawyer and Rowena's looking for a divorce from her husband (Lucifer), but Lucifer is an ex-fling/ex-boyfriend of Sam's. Never got it off the ground, but it was fun to think about!
I don't have feelings one way or the other about Wincestiel. I kind of only dig ot3s when I'm really invested in every iteration of the trio's pairings. I love plotty longfic regardless of ship (unless I hate said ship), so if that's what you're working on I'd love to hear about it!

on 1/8/19 11:42 am (UTC)Ooooh, I love that idea! That's a really clever take on the Sam-Lucifer-Rowena storyline!
Yeah, I read and write all the pairings in Wincestiel, and my problem is I love them better together - it takes three of them to make the dynamics work properly, imo.
The epic starts really Wincesty (Cas doesn't show up until late in the first section (it's in three parts, Dean POV, Cas POV, Sam POV)) and then goes vaguely Sastiel-y, into something of a flip of canon. That's where I am right now. I only need to write another few scenes and then spruce up the sex I wrote ages ago (out of order, which is not my thing!) before I'm ready to go to the Cas POV portion of the thing. I've got about 80k written so far, and then another, I dunno, maybe 10k in outtakes/alternate POVs. This link is to what I've got written so far on googledocs. Feel free to have a look and leave comments on anything you like/dislike/have questions about.
And drop me a link to whatever you're working on - I'm happy to read in fandoms I'm not familiar with! The last time I did a cheerleading exchange, it was with a Glee fan - and that was a delight, despite me having zero clue about canon. <3
