kalakiryaDay 2
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. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.
Hmm. Like a number of people, this is usually a hard one for me, and I'm always kinda tempted to throw up my hands and ask for something ungrantable. But so far I've always overcome that temptation, and I don't want to ruin my streak, so here goes:
1. suggestions/recs for vidding tutorials. I really want to try my hand at making a fanvid, and have had several ideas sketched out for years, but I've gotten really bogged down at the hunting-for-how-to resources stage. Which is a frustrating stage to get stuck at, because I keep thinking it should be easy to overcome, because I'm fairly sure these resources exist. But it hasn't been. So if you know of a how-to-do-the-thing blog, or tutorial, or list of suggestions, or something, I'd be grateful! (In case it's relevant: I'm a PC person running Windows 8)
2. One of my favorite things are fanworks that mess with the conventions of what that medium is supposed to be: fics that are told in text messages, or computer code, or consist of the same sentence over and over and over; fanart that spills over the edge of the frame, or that interacts with its wider environment, or uses unusual materials; podfic that uses different voices for each character, or the same character at different points in their life, or incorporates white noise, or audio feedback, or shifts between the right and left ears. If you've got a rec, for any fandom or pairing, send it my way please :D
3. Ummmmm I'm trying to keep this a low-stress challenge so I'm defaulting on thing 3. Which I'm decently sure I did last year too. Oh well!

Date: 2016-01-04 07:06 am (UTC)Scrabble, by Speranza. It's due South slash, Fraser/RayK, and the story is told from two POVs at once, side-by-side. If you want to leave Speranza a kudos or comment, there's a placeholder work on AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/works/267913
And here's a Stargate Atlantis multimedia piece that incorporates text, video, and images: Missed the Saturday Night Dance, by zoetrope.

Date: 2016-01-05 01:11 pm (UTC)Sadly, I have no recs I can give you, but your second wish echoes with me a lot. I still dream of creating a non-chronological fic, small parts of a story that you can read in whatever order you like. Maybe tie them to a piece of processing art, so that you can first play around with the art and create something you like, and then read the story parts in a sequence that corresponds to the art you created. Ah well, I don't know enough about coding yet to do it, but it's good to dream, right?

Date: 2016-01-08 03:32 am (UTC)- I s2g (Hawkeye, Clint + Kate). Link is to the fic which links to a twitter version of the same.
- Personal Life (MCU, Tony + Steve). Link is to the twitter version which links to a fic version of the same.
I'd also like to rec the interactive fiction done for this year's Yuletide. I'm sure there are more for previous years if you're interested.
