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. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

It's taken me a while to decide what I'd want. I'm not used to asking for things.

I'm totally cool with anyone creating off of my fanfic. In fact, I'm pretty sure my Transformative Works Policy says something like "You want to play with my story? Do you need me to encourage you? I can totally encourage you!" It's part of the creative process, being inspired by each other, and I also feel that it's an incredible compliment. I know some people don't want others creating fanworks based on their fanfic, but I don't understand it. I'd like an explanation of the other point of view. Why would someone not want others to play with their stories?
Comments on my fanfic are always appreciated.
I'd love to see a fanfic about Kitty Fantastico. But no killing the cat. I want a happy story. I'm so less than thrilled with the idiot who decided that Dawn had accidentally shot him (her?) with a crossbow. You didn't have to fill that hole. The mystery of what had happened to Kitty Fantastico would have been perfectly OK with me.

Apparently rec lists count and as I'm too tired to bang out a fic, rec list it is. I'm going with vids because it's been a while since I've rec'd videos.

First up, Laura Shapiro's Transparent, an excellent Willow character study showing what excesses Willow, being the ignored little geeky girl, was driven to.

Kaydeefalls' Brave New World. This summary is from Kaydeefalls' description: the Wishverse is pretty horrifying to begin with, but the really scary part to me is that question asked: "How do you know the other world is any better than this?" And is it really? Is Giles's leap of faith justified?

Polyesther's The Odd Couple takes the opening for old sitcom and made it about Giles and Spike. Delightful.

Only Restfield would come up with a love triangle between Angel, Buffy, and Mr. Gordo. I give you I Belong To You. ;-)

A Slayer in the TARDIS' Junkie: A Willow Rosenberg Character Study 'cause it's awesome.

Deird1's Robot Girlfriends looks at the BuffyBot and April. It's sort of funny but sad at the end. And I can't believe I'd never heard of the song "Barbie Girl' before this vid!

Opening titles to a Ripper spin-off. I'd have watched the hell out of that show.

Another fantastic Restfield vid, Saturday Night explores the events and regrets of Band Candy.

And something that's not Buffy, Thousand Eyes, a Nirvana in Fire fanvid.

Deck Us All With Boston Charlie, a fanvid of my Dad's favorite comic strip, Pogo!

And now we're in the Christmas zone! Dr. Who I Want an Alien for Christmas.

The song that sent me looking through my Christmas vids, a Parker / Hardison Leverage fanfic, The Only Thing I Get For Christmas.

Fringe Running Back to You.

Leaving the Christmas zone, last but most certainly not least is a Harry Potter parody of "Uptown Funk", Dark Lord Funk.

Commit an Act of Kindness. In your own space, share what you’ve done, talk about what you’ve done, or simply leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Since our assignments came out the on the 9th, I decided that my act of kindness would be that I'm a judge for the Headline Awards. However, while driving home this evening I was really excited to start reading in the categories I'll be judging and so now I'm thinking that GilesCandy is being truly kind by giving me something to look forward to in January and February (the coldest and most blah months of the year ... unless there's snow. I totally adore snow. So long as I don't have to drive in it.)

Day 8: In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Apparently I'm supposed to be embarrassed about rec'cing my own fics? Not really, although picking through all my stories does make me wish I'd taken more time with a good number of them. And, all worksafe here.

Oh, But You're a Pretty Thing. BtVS Drabble. Angelus will follow Darla anywhere.

The Letters (the 84, Charing Cross Road Remix), a Snape/Anya story I wrote for the Circle of Friends remix, depicts a relationship in letters, e-mails, and wedding invitations.

One Zombie Two Zombie Red Zombie Dead Zombie. The BtVS episode "The Zeppo" if written by Dr. Seuss.

Marzipan, a Leverage fanfic, shows us Parkers first friend.

Sailing Towards the Dawn. Babylon 5. Dr. Franklin's hitchhiking days. He's running towards something, even if he doesnt' know it yet.

On This Side of Goodbye. BtVS. A Giles and Faith friendship fic.
This is the first time I tried a writing exercise: take your first sentence and rewrite it again and again and again. It did greatly improve the beginning of my story: The room, red and gold everywhere, looked like someone’s virgin kid was about to be debauched. For all that Big Al had ranted on about intentions being a heavy-duty deal for the ritual, the room he’d dumped them in wasn’t raising anything pure in Faith’s thoughts. Taking one look at the overly-stuffed velvet chairs, she decided to stand. Angel was sitting. Of course Angel was sitting. He’d been practically shitting guilt ever since he, or Twilight using his body, had killed Giles. Faith was sort of surprised he hadn’t found a bed of nails to lie on. “What is it with magic users and furniture?” She kicked at one of the chairs. “I’d rather be strung up on a rack than sit on this thing. Is it some sort of prereq for the job, never being comfortable again?”

Day 5: In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Headline Awards! Tony Head's a fantastic actor and I adore that we get together to celebrate his work. Plus, this is a great time to bring it up because NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN! So head over and rec your favorite Tony Head fanworks, not just as Giles even though I'm a big Buffy fan. These awards celebrate all his works.

Sunnydale Fanfic Club Podcast. They keep interviewing authors I adore so they obviously have excellent taste. And it's fun to hear the geeky girls interviewing friends.

I've seen that someone else has already rec'd Buffyverse Top 5 but I so adore coming up with rec lists that I'm rec'cing them as well. It's just super fun to come up with unique spins for new rec lists.

Day 3: In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

"The Zeppo" is my absolute fave Buffy episode. I adore it as a whole but my favorite bit is the scene where Xander interrupts Buffy and Angel. Before he gets there the drama, the acting, the romance, they're all over the top and when Xander interrupts, it all stops. Buffy and Angel just drop all that to stare at Xander. And then, as he leaves, we hear the music picking up again. That is just so funny to me. I adore it.

"Buffy The Vampire Slayer S03E13 - The Zeppo" (Watch on YouTube)

Day 1: In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Nature is a big one. A long walk in the park, mmm, just thinking about that makes me feel happier.

Cats, of course. My roommie has five. She keeps them in her room most of the time because she's trying to toilet train them but they were out for Christmas because she's rented out the kids room so when any are here with their significant others, they get the double bed. So, yay, kitties were out for a week and a halfish although they're back in the room now. Someday I will make enough for my own place - although it's great living here - and can have my own kitty again.

Books, love books. I'm currently reading Bujold's Memory (Vorkosigan saga) and it's so awesome. I mean, I knew that because this is a reread but still, it's awesome.

Holiday specific but Christmas lights and receiving Christmas cards.

Visiting with my friends.

Ooops, and I almost forgot: writing. Writing makes me very, very happy. *grin*

Day 6

Leave feedback for a fanwork. Or multiple fanworks. It can be as simple as I liked this to a detailed list of all the things you loved about the fanwork. The key is to leave some sort of feedback.

If you've already left feedback in the course of a previous challenge, it totally counts. But you're free to leave more feedback.

Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!" If you feel so inclined, leave a link to the fanwork you left feedback for so others can check it out.

Commented on Every Rose a BtVS fanfic that Gillo recommended in another Snowflake Challenge post.

Eeee! The Letter "L" Job, a crossover between ... wait for it .... Leverage and Sesame Street! Oh, so awesome. This one was recommended by TP TIgger, also in response to the Snowflake Challenge.
