Snowflake Challenge 2021: #8

In your own space, create a wishlist

-I'd love to have fanart for one of my stories, of course. Maybe for "You Can't Always Get What You Want"? This was my first fic, and centers on a sort of rivalry between the Mark of Cain and the Samulet. Here's the link: https://tyrsibs.livejournal.com/10479.html

-The mod post mentions a new fandom as a possibility, and that intrigues me. While SPN will always have my heart, are there other fandoms out there that might fill the hole it left? Recs would be great!

-Along that same line, any recommendations for great book series in the urban fantasy or high fantasy realms? I've almost caught up on Dresden Files, have read The Name of the Wind, and just started Seanan McGuire's October Daye series. I know there's a lot out there--what's your favorite?

-Recs for a fanfic Big Bang or challenge to attempt? I've participated in Spring Fling, Summergen, and the Reversebang in the Supernatural fandom, and I've set myself a goal of working on a new challenge this year. I write genfic, somewhat angsty, and I like to focus on the characters and creepy atmosphere. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance--I hope to talk to some of you about these rec requests!

I'm not an artful person, but I now have "You Can't Always Get What You Want" open in a tab as a reader!!

idk what your thoughts on scifi are, but if you like fabulous ensemble casts of the horror-political fantasy-spacefolk variety, I adore The Expanse. <3 And this is more a movie rec than a random rec, but His House on Netflix is a really excellent horror movie (this rec coming from someone who likes the idea of horror quite a bit but doesn't typically actually like horror movies).

Thanks! (Now I'm biting my nails, because I've always been a bit self-conscious about this fic. I like a good bit of it, but because of how it was written and where it's set, I don't know if it holds up as well as I could wish. But I hope you like it--)

I've heard of The Expanse, but not watched it yet. I do like sci-fi, certainly in film and tv more than hard s/f books, and I love horror. It sounds intriguing.

I'll put His House on my list! Another one I want to try is Relic, though it looks like it's a rental only right now, so I may have to wait. Possession and haunted houses, what's not to love?

Speaking after having read the first few chapters last weekend, I think it probably holds up even better than you are personally imagining. That's one of my favorite places in canon, and I was just like, "oh man, this is all my favorite things."So much so that honestly I'll probably just start from the top tonight--free time was distinctly lacking this week--so I can have that experience again!
