isabellerecsDay 6 - Fandom Snowflake Challenge
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. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to the original challenge post.
I'm really not good at coming up with wish-lists ;P (much to the frustration of my spouse before gift-giving holidays ;)) So I started by looking at what other people were putting and I can totally think of things that I would like to see happen for fandom at large.
1. This is specifically for the MCU fandom. I would love to see more rare pairing and/or minor character fanfic in the coming year (especially for PoC characters). The MCU fandom is a mega-fandom certainly and there are a lot of major characters to play with, but what about the lesser used characters who have not been fleshed out much. The Warriors Three, the Howling Commandos? I went looking and stories starring them are rare and hard to find. They are also almost blank slates having only brief and/or archetypal characterization, perfect for fannish purposes. :D
2. I'd love to see more life in the comms on Dreamwidth. I've seen that on a few other wish-lists so I guess there is interest, we just all have to do our part. :)
3. I'd love to see either some of the old multi-fandom (panfandom) fanfic rec comms like![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
epic_recs or crack_van be resurrected or for a new one to be established. (If there is an active one and I've missed it, please be a pal and point me that-away. ;D)
