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?

Huh. I didn't know that there was such a tag, they say, having used a "fanart welcome" tag on one of my works already, but if there were something that you felt remarkably inspired by, a cover art or a podfic would absolutely be a welcome thing. silveradept is the place where they exist.

...do I need to be more specific about the transformative works statement so that people feel confident that basically anything will be liked and enjoyed, and if it turns out not to be, the effort will still be appreciated?

...also, have we had this conversation before? I'm getting deja lis about it.

I don't think you'd need to further specify it in a transformative statement, if someone read your story and wants to make a cover for it I feel like that would do it (on the other hand it might not be a bad thing to specify, I'm torn). But I know sometimes I just want to ~~art~~ and it is a lot easier to just scroll through a tag until you find something that inspires you. This might just be a "me thing" rather than a "fandom thing", I couldn't say.

I'm reasonably certain that I've not had this conversation before, but honestly, I couldn't swear to it, lol. *shrug*
