Challenge #5
In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Gods, so many things. In fandom I wish I could write the FemDom!Padme Star Wars story, the Star Wars/Witcher XO, and the agender!Steve in Wakanda MCU fic and the Loki&Pepper&Maria Hill buddy cop story I had been planning but had to abandon bc I messed up the narrative tension Both Times. I don’t really have Muses the way other people envision them, I just have under-representation issues and the grit to teach myself to do a largely thankless thing just to increase representation for the underserved.

Apparently I need to teach myself about narrative tension.

In non-fandom stuff, I wish I already knew enough to start interviewing autistic and ADHD people for writing the book. But I can’t hurry my brain through the class or I’ll miss things and mess up building my theoretical schema later, and not get taken seriously.

  • Fandom needs UBI. I'm serious, can you imagine how much more art and writing there would be in the world if people didn't have to grind for their right to exist? I am starting to have so many feels about how the world should support people better so that my fellow fans could write more/podfic more/fanart more etc. - it is a sorry state of the world when people don't have time to read or hone their crafts and hobbies. *sings Solidarity Forever*

  • Someone expressed a call for patience. It is not always the season for the ingredients that go into my fandom stew pot. Patience and time will bring many good things with them for the slow and careful recipe that is my fanwork. I will meditate on this.

  • So many of us have brain and energy issues! It's not just me, and I don't think 1/10th of us get the support we need. It's not just an American problem, either.

    Okay, but if I started a comm for adopting other people's fanworks and plotbunnies, what would I even call it?
