brightknightie | Snowflake Challenge 2025 #7 (Wishlist)

snowflake_challenge '25: Create a list of at least three [fannish] things you'd love to receive.

Dungeons & Dragons (Cartoon, 1983):

Fellow fans: I would love for the fandom to receive, and me to enjoy, a fantastic, character-driven, plot-rich, Diana-centric fanfiction. The ultimate would be for this story to come from an author who shares Diana's background and can weave that in seamlessly and meaningfully (though of course all authors can research and imagine and strive).
TPTB: I would like Super7 to start pre-orders for the second set of action figures. They're doing one set per year (the first was two good guys, Sheila and Hank, and two bad guys, Shadow Demon and Dekion), so, at this rate, I feel I can afford to treat myself.

The Legend of Zelda (all games):

Fellow fans: I'd love to find a couple of thoughtful folks interested in reciprocal fanfic beta-reading, who know some canon and "the sense of the fandom" so it's not "the blind leading the blind" (I've read and watched much more than I've played, but I'm a canon nut, so: ZeldaUniverse and Zeldawiki.wiki) -- and, most of all, who have the time and space and spoons and interest.
TPTB: I'd like a superb remaster of Twilight Princess for the upcoming Switch 2, with some gameplay mechanics re-optimized but the story, of course, untouched (unless they want to please spiff up the Twilight Realm a la Lucas's second go at Cloud City and implement some intended but cut interactions with ordinary Twili there, as shown in the art, for which I am very much on board).

Assorted:

I hope that everywoman, the exchange featuring female characters, runs again this year. Counting its direct reincarnations from Rarelywritten and Rarewomen, and its relation to its cousin femme_fic, it's the biggest, most venerable fanfic game I participate in -- my Yuletide, if you will.
I hope that we see an exchange in the spirit of 90s_channel_tv_exchange, myoldfandom, retrotvexchange, and their relatives this year. (I suspect that these are extremely difficult to run, given how many fizzle out after just one round.)
I'd like The Fantastic Four: First Steps to be awesome in every way, smart and emotional and exciting, character-driven and clear-plotted, accessible to mass audiences and satisfying to fan audiences, and to just knock everyone's socks off and show decisively that the MCU is back and better than ever. Please.
I hope that Hasbro re-examines its numbers, re-trains its marketing department, and gives Transformers One and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves the outstanding sequels they deserve. Especially Transformers One.
A new Penric & Desdemona installment, or otherwise any richly themed new tale in "The World of the Five Gods," from Lois McMaster Bujold by the end of the year would be lovely, if she feels like it.
