Snowflake Challenge: Day Four

In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1. Long(ish) tropey stories for all my fav rarepairs (primarily Ric/Star, Bobby/Warren, Jin/Mugen and Nico/Yuki since that's what my brain really enjoys daydreaming about right now). Thankfully, I am definitely one of those "well, if no one else is gonna do it, I will" type of people, so I'll probably will some of this into existence someday but... so much easier when someone else does it.

2. More Rictor/Shatterstar vids. There was this one called Starry-Eyed from, like, ten years ago, and it has since been deleted it, and I will miss it forever. I think about it all the time. There are so few of them you notice when one goes missing, and this one was particularly awesome.

3. More seasons of my favourite anime! Specifically a season two of Yona of the Dawn. Anime works in weird ways, so if I just wait it out, I know there's a chance I'll see it in a decade or two. But the manga is ongoing! And it's amazing! And I just loved the anime so much!

Snowflake Challenge: Day Five

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.

I want to write a novel-length Rictor/Shatterstar story. I have been writing these guys since the late 90s, and the longest I've managed is one 60k story. I can do longer! I know I can! But it's just... finding the time when both my brain and my eyes are up for the challenge. I have three novel-length bunnies I indulge in sometimes when work and/or life is overwhelming, the most recent of which is a coming of age story that includes mutual pining, a roller skating scene and multiple occurrences of h/c, set in the late 90s.

Picture for a second:

• These two guys, best friends, one returned home after years away, one completely out of his element.


• Rictor, finally away from his (telepathic) leader, primed for some self discovery.


• Shatterstar, after months of ~feelings~, back in the company of the source of his ~feelings~.


• Roller skating! Unsteady, fun roller skating (while wearing jorts)!


• Road trips? Many!


• And then a bunch of other things I will think of later, I'm sure it'll be fine.


• The Canonical Ending

But yes, I mostly just want to write more looooooong ricstar stories and totally indulge myself.
