Snowflake 2004 - Challenge 3

[prisca]

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive.

This challenge is always tricky because I don't like to ask others to create something for me. So, why not choose a different way?

1. My first wish is not for myself but for a community, I mod for a while already. fffc. The community started on 21 February 2011 at Livejournal as a small Lord of the Rings/Frodo Community. Over the years, there were some changes, and we opened a sister-community at Dreamwidth.

Today we are open to all kinds of fandoms/fanworks. We also appreciate real-person work and original work. But sadly, the LJ Community is on a hiatus because of the lack of activity.

Also activity at Dreamwidth is gradually decreasing during the last one/two years. While I can understand that people start to move on after a while, it still feels sad. I don't want to give up a community which already exists for 13 years.

So I ask you: If you are looking for a low-pressure community that offers 4 (sometimes 5) challenges throughout a month, come and check us out here. If you decide to stay (for a while), even better :)

2. I am always looking for interesting TV series/movies and audiobooks. Everything but hardcore horror; and without animals getting tormented.

So, tell me about your favorite TV series, movies, and audiobooks. What did you enjoy most during the last months/year?

I feel exactly the same way about asking for things and I think your solution to ask on behalf of your community is a lovely thing.

RE TV series, my favourite thing from last year was Dark. I was very late to that particular party and came to Dark after watching 1899 (still smarting that it didn't get renewed). Also enjoyed Good Omens and Midnight Diner. Apart from that, TV from last year seems to be one big blur so I'm sure I'm missing stuff I loved at the time. :)

[prisca]

Thanks. Dark sounds interesting; I might give it a try.

Our Flag Means Death was a lot of fun.

I've seen a few Asian series recently that I enjoyed: Eternal Love and Eternal Love of Dream are full of fantasy elements - beautiful costumes etc

Yin Yang Master: Dream of Eternity was a good movie

[prisca]

Maybe it's about time, to give OfmD a try; so many people think that it is a good show. Thanks.

i'm glad you mentioned fffc because that community looks to be just the kind of thing i was looking for! joined and subscribed!!

re: recs, how do you feel about non-fiction series? i've got a couple real interesting tv series that i like to toss on in the evenings when i'm doing other stuff but they're more the funny docuseries kind of thing.

[prisca]

Hope you will have fun at FFFC.

Non-fiction recs are welcome; it can never hurt to try something new.

i'm a fan of the various explained series on netflix which has a number of topics. same with the g word with adam conover. nic cage did a delightful little miniseries called the history of swear words which is both hilarious and informative. last on netflix is less docuseries and more reality, but blown away is essentially the great british baking format but with glass blowers.

aaand on youtube i'm a huge fan of a couple of pbs' video series on their storied channel, namely otherwords and fate and fabled.

[prisca]

Thank you, 'Blown away' sounds interesting, I will definitely check this out.

I've joined the Froday Flash Fiction Challenge! I mostly write small works of original fiction, so this looks fantastic :-D

[prisca]

Welcome! I hope you will have fun.

Last year I watched all eleven seasons of MASH and had a great time.

[prisca]

Thank you, I might give it a try.

I've been subscribed to fffc for a while and one of these days I'll see a prompt there and it'll spark something at a time I have the energy to write the thing. I live in hope.

this year I have been rewatching Yuri on Ice lots and lots. (only watched for the first time in February.) I'm not sure what all you might mean by "animals getting tormented", so I'll say there's pet death immediately preseries (canon gives no details on how) and then a pet health scare in later episodes (nobody deliberately harms the pet, but there's no way the pet wasn't scared and in pain), both of which are important plot points and also involve only two of the at-least-nine pets of the various characters, and I posted my first impressions and other content notes (not animal related), and let me know if you want me to go into why I like it?

[prisca]

So many people love Yuri on Ice; maybe it is time to check it out. Thank you.

I'm glad fffc is still around. I'll try to fill more prompts this year than I have for a while.

If you have Netflix, I enjoyed these two series The Night Agent and Lupin.

[prisca]

I have already watched 'The Nightagent', and I enjoyed the series. I will definitely check out 'Lupin', thanks.

[soullessserenity]

I'll keep an eye on that comm! Sometimes writing prompts are just what I need to be inspired to write something I wouldn't have otherwise!

[prisca]

Just jump in whenever you want and have fun.
