Fandom Snowflake: Day 10

[thisbluespirit]

(Nearly done with the snowflake_challenge!)

Day 10:
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.

Even though I've waited for well over a month, this time of the year is the worst for doing this. I just took part in Yuletide! And fandom_stocking!! I had so many marvellous gifts, even in some of my completely obscure things and it was wonderful (♥) But, well, the meme dictates, and happy-making fannish things are nice, and I'm tired again, so here we are...

But really, my fandom stocking entry is pretty much my wishlist. Especially all the impossibly obscure bits at the end. Which I know nobody knows and all that, but still. And that's more than three things. Whoops.

My heart yearns for impossible things. (Isn't that just the truth? ;-D)

How about everyone else? What impossible fannish things do you want to see? Let's all be unreasonable together...


ETA: That was cheating, really wasn't it? I'll put some effort into it:

1. I could really use some Lynda Day in my life right now. Well, when don't you?

2. Some sort of mild Mary/Louisa or Mary & Louisa from Duchess of Duke Street. (I cannot write it, but I would love to read it.)

3. Someone to talk to about Public Eye S4 and "The Man Who Said Sorry". (Though said person is not allowed to dislike Mrs Mortimer. That would be sad. Maybe best not, then.)

4. I feel like Heroes of the Revolution is a real thing now. There should be fanfic for it/a fanmix/something... (Anyone feel like researching energy crises or something? ;-D I know, I know, that's the bit I'm supposed to go off and do. *sheepish*)

Oh, that was more than three. *cough* At least one of them was sort of possibly even achievable! *is proud of self*

There. I still want to know everybody else's impossible wishes, though...

Anything to do with Allo Allo basically.

[thisbluespirit]

♥! Allo Allo!

Gives a little drabble insta-rec for you: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1129611

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

Awh yay! Thanks.

I'm currently not so well (such is life) and I've wound up digging out my Allo Allo DVDs to make it suck less...

ETA: Otto/Helga is so precious <3

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, feel better soon! Allo Allo is good for that, though - I've been recording some off the TV this last week for similar reasons. :-)

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Allo Allo is kind-of hilarious when you don't feel well, it seems to be written as sheer crack.

[thisbluespirit]

It is the crackiest crack there is. It is WWII crackfic! It shouldn't exist, but it does. :-)

[femme-slash-fan.livejournal.com]

and we love it.

(Although I do rather feel for Michelle sometimes... she seems to be one of the saner ones... sometimes.)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Were I able to get hold of Public Eye, I would watch it and let you babble at me about it...

(I'm currently almost half way through 'Atlantis' (the newish BBC series, not some Stargate spin-off - though I DO want to see that too!)

And I hope to one day have enough of an idea to write you Jago & Litefoot fic. Pref with that nice Mr Saunders... *snorts*

[thisbluespirit]

And I hope to one day have enough of an idea to write you Jago & Litefoot fic. Pref with that nice Mr Saunders... *snorts*

*flails at the idea*

ETA: ... are you suggesting that that nice Mr Saunders is really a bounder and a blaggart and possibly worse? 0_o

;-p

(And I haven't watched any Atlantises at all!)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I don't believe I suggested anything about Mr Saunders - and I'm quite sure he was a perfectly nice vampire, aside from all the dead people he left in his wake.

*giggles*

(I'm enjoying the BBC show. Especially Sarah Parish as Bitch!Queen of Atlantis, and Juliet Stevenson as Mystic!Meg the Oracle. Oh, and Alexander Siddig as King Minos the muddled.

[thisbluespirit]

:lol: I think the dead people bit is kind of important, not to mention that he also trails creepy crawlies about the place with him!

Glad you're enjoying it! :-)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

So, what you're saying is that Mr Saunders definitely isn't nice? *grins* (Just so we're clear!)

I am - despite the fact that there are far too few kitchen servants in the palace of King Minos (every time someone goes in there for a secret assignation, there's only one person in there - ridiculous!)

[thisbluespirit]

Well... I think he might not be, after all, what can I say? ;-D

:loL: So, are they all slacking off, or do they use one servant until they die of exhaustion and then get another? People should think through world-building. Or possibly find a way to afford extras...

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

LOL I also think not...

The daft thing is there are LOADS of extras in other scenes - just not in the kitchen scenes.

However, I've now finished the series, and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it (esp Juliet Stevenson (The Oracle), Jack Donnelley (Jason), and Ken Bones (Melas the priest). (Oh, and wonderful guest star roles from the likes of John Hannah, Robert Lindsay, and especially Anton Lesser. Whom I love to bits ever since seeing him in the BBC's King Lear...)

[thisbluespirit]

Sounds fun! :-)

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

Ooh, you like Regina stuffs! I think I knew that but now that OUAT is coming back, I know it anew!

Sadly, I can't write that show but I'll keep an eye out on Regina meta for you!

[thisbluespirit]

I do! I am very much enjoying OUaT, but it is very hard to be properly fannish here, as much as I would like, because I am in the UK and forever behind (apart from about three or four weeks in September), so I have to fight hard to avoid spoilers.

And, yes, it is such a difficult show to write for, because you never know when they're going to joss you with new backstory info!

But, yes, I am far, far more attached to Regina than I thought I could be at the start and spend too much time emoting over her face in various episodes. I like pretty much everyone else, too. And I love the meta concept of it all so much. That was why I gave in and had to watch it, even though I was sceptical of the little bits I had seen.

[liadt]

You already probably know mine, but as no one's going to do it for me I'd like the ability to write Bulman, Bulman angst, Ace of Wands, more Callan (but not Callan in jail cos I'm feeling nice).

I am in a romantic mood so any recs for any pairings in my fandoms would be boss and if anyone wants to butt in with higher rated stuff that would be splendid too.

I tried to write you Frank meets Lonely but it fizzled out. A spy pretends to be Callan's estranged wife:p I do have my S&S/Orphee thing and I have recently aquired the 2nd series of Jago and Litefoot. All I have to do now is listen to it!

[thisbluespirit]

Aww. Our obscurity is both a blessing and a terrible, terrible curse. ♥

And, ooh, Jago & Litefoot S2! I hope you enjoy it. I did, and, of course, that had nothing to do with that dreadful dastardly devil, Gabriel Saunders!

[liadt]

Mostly a curse;p

I hope J&L makes sense, as I have rather shallowly skipped series 1. I have got 'Talons...' though.

[thisbluespirit]

But also we possess secret knowledge of awesome the world knows not wot of. Or something. So, yes. ;-)

I don't think you need to have listened to S1 first. It's mainly just Jago and Litefoot being themselves, and in S2 they have a certain sinister gentleman to deal with, which is fun.

Let's see...

• P G Wodehouse -- Lord Ickenham in his younger days when he was a cowboy, soda jerk or prospector.
  
• Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective! Her canon really doesn't go into her backstory at all -- how did she find out she could make her living working for a detective agency?
  
• It would be nice to see the pieces of TTR: Dark Carnival put together, but 'impossible' doesn't begin to cover that...

[thisbluespirit]

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who hankers after unlikely/impossible things. :-)

[john_amend_all]

Thinking about it, most of the impossible things I want to see are canon rather than fanfic. Ranging from the merely unlikely (someone finds The Smugglers) to the spectacularly unlikely (someone finds Claudius' History of Etruria complete with Etruscan-Latin dictionary) to the outright impossible (Sanditon from a Universe where Jane Austen lived long enough to complete it).

[thisbluespirit]

:loL: Yes, I mean, what I really want is to live in a universe where they made a third (and presumably final) series of Enemy at the Door, and someone to have made one final episode of Public Eye, written by Roger Marshall, in which Frank went back to Brighton. (I'm a bit obsessive about that, but it's hard to imagine him actually getting there instead of just meaning to some day. And they really deserve to be together and have a bit of happiness, both of them.)

I would also be quite happy to have The Smugglers back and Sanditon, so maybe all those things can happen in the same universe. We just have to work out how to get there, or at least obtain telly/books from parallel universes.

Michelle of the Resistance (Allo Allo)

I don't know if this will interest you but a good few years ago I wrote a Garrison's Gorillas/'Allo 'Allo crossover featuring Michelle, though the story focusses mostly on the GG guys. I don't think it's bad though there's head-hopping galore. I did say it was a good few years ago.

Anyway, if you're interested in reading it, it's here.

[thisbluespirit]

Ooh, thank you - it's very nice to hear of an undiscovered Allo Allo fic! I have bookmarked it on my to-read list now. ♥ It looks as if it should be good fun. :-)
