Snowflake Challenge Day 6

Day 6

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.

---

I want a Darcy story where Tony Stark adopts her because they both suffer from the after-effects of benign neglect. I want a story of maybe Tony teaching her that there's nothing wrong with being charmingly outrageous, but that she doesn't have to use that to deflect attention from the fact that she has feelings. I want to see two people who don't feel safe with feelings talk about why that is, about expecting the people who love you to ignore you unless you are entertaining. I want a story about Tony being a grown up, and Darcy being vulnerable about stuff that actually matters to her and not just performing vulnerability with stuff that's not that big a deal to her to appease someone because she thinks that's what they want. And I dont want to write it myself. Any of those things would be really lovely, if someone wants to write them.

I want more stories about women and nonbinary people, even if I do have to write them myself. I want more stories where non-men and non-white characters take center stage and get time to shine, have character development and get important narrative arcs. And I will darn well learn to write them because changing fandom's cultural tendency to focus on white dudes starts at home.

Re: Wish granted!

I have chronic pain, and some days I need to read engrossing things to dissociate from my body. So you have given me more than you know.

I have friends with various flavors of chronic pain, hence the inspiration for The Moon Door, so I'm glad I could help.

For maximum engrossment, use the series guides:
Love Is For Children landing page
Serial Poetry page

There's more, but those are the biggest chunks organized in my best guess of series-chronological order.

You might want to grab a friend who is more computer literate than me and ask them how to make your website https instead of http. It now reads as an insecure website with a warning not to enter information, which may drive down some of your traffic. I know that ther is something about a different programming standard for websites now, but that's about all I know.

Sadly, neither Weebly, Dreamwidth, nor LiveJournal are sites I own or really control. I don't know if they have the https option. I don't currently have an active webwizard to help me update them either. :(

I asked the husband, he of the programming knowledge, and he knew what I meant and what to search for. He recommends this FAQ from Weebly: https://hc.weebly.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010923107-Enable-SSL-for-Your-Site?mobile_site=true
He says that anyone with computer literacy and basic knowledge of how websites work should be able to do it. It looks pretty step-by-step? I might be able to do it with some caffeine and a little patience. YMMV.
