Snowflake challenge prompt 5

Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.




These keep getting harder! Oh dear. Umm.


1. Some DW icons would be a nice thing. I used to have so many on my livejournal, and for whatever reason I didn't bring them over. I probably have some stashed on some drives somewhere, but something really nice would be some icons for digimon adventure, SG1, SW (legacy preference), age of sail stuff. That would be nice.



2. Recs for fandom spaces would be good. I am old and very un-trendy and I never even really got the hang of tumblr, so I've fallen fully out of step with all the fandom specific communities. I do have a discord account, although I have to be a bit careful about how much time I spend on it, so any suggestions for fandom spaces on dreamwidth or discord or anywhere that's relatively chill would be awesome. As above and also as listed on my challenge #1 post.



3. Cat pictures. There are not enough cat pictures on the internet.

You know I don't make complex icons, but if any of these are useful, please do take them.

[bella_luugosi]

Aw, thank you! duly stolen <3

You might find some random cat picture generators useful :)

Thank you! that is what Tim Berners-Lee invented the web for.

I've been enjoying tv_talk. It seems to have a lot of the conversations that I enjoy about fandom.

Thank you, I'll check it out!

neonspider has a ton of SG icons and they're stunning =)


isapiens . entwashian . naushika


newkidfan . ohfreckle . oxoniensis

Finally a reason to dig into my ludicrously big saved icons folder *g*
(admittedly I don't know which SG is which, so hopefully some of these match?)

[bella_luugosi]

Oh these are lovely! and I'm open to dabbling in SGA as well *g*

[goodbyebird]

starkwars . icons_of_isis . isapiens


ghanimasun . naushika . tturners


neonspider . danseurlion . talipuu

oh, and maybe swbookclub would be a good fit? And fandomcalendar and kinkmemepromo to keep up with new happenings on DW. Seconding the rec for tv_talk.

[bella_luugosi]

Thank you! these icons are lovely, and swbookclub looks like just my sort of place.

for discord, a couple servers i find pretty chill are Letters from Watson and Yuletide and Fandom Exchanges. if i remember correctly neither one requires you to introduce yourself before fully joining. i actually mostly lurk silently in both.

Letters from Watson was originally created for a book club that reads through all of ACD's Sherlock Holmes together (similar to Dracula Daily, if you're familiar with that). that book club is still ongoing if you're interested, but the server is a general spot to discuss Sherlock Holmes and any adaptations too.

Yuletide and Fandom Exchanges is mainly for fic exchanges, but there's also general fandom and writing talk.

Thank you! Lurkable discords sound like a good place to try. I'll give them a look over the weekend, thank you for sharing.
