Non-Rec: When You Wish Upon a Star

Challenge #8

In your own space, create a wishlist. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So my list, isn't so much a list. I wish to be able to create more podfic/story covers but I would like to do it for someone who has asked maybe even before they have posted. It just feels a little weird sidling up to podficcers/authors and dropping a "hey, I don't if you'll like this or care but here is a cover for your work". There is a tag that says cover art welcome, but honestly it seems like only the same few creators use it over and over. I don't know, I feel like flexing those creative muscles. Any takers?

I honestly can't imagine a fan writer ever being offended by cover art or pod fic of their work. I wonder if there's a list of people who would definitely like cover art like there is a pod fic list.

I didn't even know there was a tag for "cover art welcome."

My fandoms are tiny so I'm not asking as I'd like your work to get greater exposure and that comes with doing this type of fanwork for larger fandoms.

It's less offense and more apathy that I suppose I'm, not concerned about, just somehow worried that that will be the response (not that I've not had positive feedback, but like many creative people I'm always worried that it will happen the next time). But if I know that someone is looking for art then I know that it will be received well.

The "cover art welcome" tag is awesome, I hope it gets used more. I spent my last vacation making my way through it. ;)

I know that you're in small fandoms, but honestly your personally responsible for me ending up in at least two of them so I definitely wanted to make some covers. First was one in Life on Mars, and the second for The Alienist. :D
