snowflake_challenge!

In your own space, create a fannish wishlist. No limits on size or type of fanwork; just tell us what you’d like to see.

My AO3 handle, should you wish to gift me stuff there, is

EllieMurasaki—please gift to my AlexSeanchai pseud!

Linking to my

fandom_stocking is probably technically cheating, but I'm doing it anyway. Stocking stuffing goes through Jan 5!

I'm also going to cheat off my Yuletide 2018 wishlist draft:

Likes: FEMSLASH. GEN. Ladies being awesome. People of color being awesome. Queer people being awesome. Trans and genderqueer people being awesome. People of minority religions (especially polytheists, ancestor worshippers, and animists) being awesome. Disabled people being awesome. Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people being awesome. Mentally ill people being awesome. Competence kink. Nonperfect people having nonperfect relationships (whether familial, platonic, romantic, or sexual) but all parties are good people trying to make the relationship work as best they know how. Ordinary people caught in extraordinary events. Worldbuilding!

Likes if you're leaning porny: vanilla is a lovely thing but also there's bondage, body modification, endurance, nipple play (okay, really breast play, but

kink_wiki doesn't have a tag for that), sensation play, temperature play, impact play with the emphasis on play, toys toys toys, soft sensuous things, and writing.

Dislikes: Underage. Non-con. Anything that sets off my embarrassment squick—avoid public humiliation, for instance. Anything sexy involving eating or excreting (though if you want to write food porn in the sense of conveying what a tasty meal the characters are having, go to town). Disrespectful treatment of polytheism, ancestor worship, and/or animism. Disrespectful treatment of [insert marginalized group here]. Magically healed disability. "Idiot ball" (which trope needs a less ableist name). Cross-generational sexual and/or romantic relationships, though if an involved character does not, in my head, have an age, then it won't bother me as long as all the involved characters are clearly adult. (Deities don't have ages. Just flat out don't. Or rather, since they can appear as any age they like... Does that make sense?)

REQUESTS in which I am assuming you are a ficcer, but art is also fantastic, and so are vids for the visual canons:

Shira Glassman, Knit One, Girl Two, as I bounced about it: I just. More. GIVE ME MORE.

Hallmark Channel's original movie The Mistletoe Inn (2017): this is a sweet, tropey het romance in which she is an aspiring romance author with Issues about showing her work to people (and a recent break-up), he is a published romance author with writer's block (and a recent divorce), and they're at a romance writers' retreat over Christmas. Post-movie stuff would be great, especially if Kim-centric, or an f/f take on it (Zeke can become a cis woman or a trans woman as you please) would be fantastic.

Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966): GRINCH IS [HEAD]CANONICALLY AUTISTIC. Play that up. Also: I love the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"—the Straight No Chaser cover, and an Atlantic article about the song with embedded Solomon Howard's operatic bass cover—but when coming at this from the explicit perspective of autistic!Grinch, think about those lyrics. Uncomfortable, isn't it? Also also, a genderswapped Grinch would be lovely. This-request-specific DNW: porn.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991): BELLE AND BEAST ARE [HEAD]CANONICALLY AUTISTIC. Play that up. And Belle's love of reading. An f/f take would also be lovely.

Hellenistic Religion and Lore / Greek and Roman Mythology: I want to see stories of my Gods in the present day, interacting with Their people as They did in the ancient myths. I am most interested here in Athena, Hephaistos, Artemis, Apollon, Aphrodite, and the various and sundry Muses. I specifically reiterate the "Disrespectful treatment of polytheism, ancestor worship, and/or animism" DNW.
