Non-Rec: When You Wish Upon a Star

[isabellerecs]

 

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?

Would you take a request on behalf of a friend?

[angelus2hot]

I would love it! I write in a lot of fandoms. All of my fics are on AO3 under the same name angelus2hot.

[isabellerecs]

Sure. :D

I've only ever had one piece of artwork done for one of my stories, and that was by the person who beta'd the story. If you feel like any of my stories interest you to create a piece of artwork then I would love it! All my recent stories are posted at:

Thank you for posting your wishlist, I'm sure there will be others who would like to take you up on the offer. :)

Great! A friend has spent a lot of time writing in a tiny fandom, and I think she'd be thrilled with a story banner for her series https://archiveofourown.org/series/1297466

Well, if any of my stories happened to catch your creative interest, I'd love story covers for any of them! (No pressure, though - I know some of our fandoms don't overlap.)

Your post also inspired me to specifically add covers as a thing I'm okay with in my Transformative Works statement, because this is a lovely idea.

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.

[gracerene]

I never knew that the cover art OK tag was even a thing! I know I'd certainly be ecstatic to receive cover art for any of my fic, if you ever felt so inclined, though ofc no pressure! all of my fic is on ao3 at gracerene

[corvidology]

I also wanted to mention, after reading through the responses linked at the Snowflake challenge site that there's a whole bunch of them asking for cover art and/or pod fics of their work.

Wow, this is amazing! I didn't know about that tag - I'm going to start adding it to everything I do! No pressure, as you seem to have many candidates now, but I would love it if you'd be interested. My fics and podfics are here. Thank you for such a generous wishlist item!

[isabellerecs]

Thanks for taking up my challenge! I hope you like it. :D

[isabellerecs]

I agree that tiny fandoms need love too. ;D I know it's for your friend, but I hope you like it too.

[isabellerecs]

While I'm not into Transformers, we do share one fandom: Redwall! :D So I pick one that I liked the look of, I hope you like it!

[autobotscoutriella]

OMG, it's so beautiful! Thank you so much - it's absolutely perfect!

Would you mind if I included a link to it in the fic's opening notes?

[isabellerecs]

I'm so glad you liked it! :D You can absolutely include a link!

[isabellerecs]

One can never go wrong with McShep, I feel, so I hope you like it! :D

Yes ...

I would be delighted to have covers for my work. If you post your art on AO3, there is a linking function to connect related works so more people can see it. My works are here.

My most popular fanseries is Love Is For Children, which has a list of photogenic scenes.

You might also like the Crossover Content page on Schrodinger's Heroes.

Art for my original work is also welcome, but there's a lot more of that, so let me know if you're interested. If you have favorite topics I can help you find things you'd enjoy drawing.

Also, my friend dialecticdreamer does fanfic of my series and is currently looking for new readers. She'd probably be interested in art too. Mention me if you drop by there, and we can both get ficlets.

My transformative works policy says that folks are generally welcome to use my stuff as art inspiration.

[angelus2hot]

It's gorgeous! Thank you so very much!! I've already got it up on the fic.

[yourlibrarian]

I do, and I'm utterly amazed how quickly you were able to put together such a fitting one! Thank you very much 💝

[sjh2009]

I LOVE it! Thank you so much, I'm about to grab my MacBook so I can link it to the story.

It's a beautiful piece of artwork, I really am thrilled :)

[isabellerecs]

This fic was super cute so I couldn't resist, I hope you like it! :D

[isabellerecs]

\o/ Yay! I'm so glad you like it!! :D It was a lot of fun to make.

[isabellerecs]

\o/ Yay! You're welcome. :D It is so nice when the creative juices are flowing, it makes it feel . . . real good, for a lack of better words. <3

OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! :D

[logans_girl2001]

I have it in my wishlist, and on my AO3 profile, that I would love to have art made for any of my stories.

But if I'm honest, I really want one for this series or even this one.
