Wishlist!

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.

• So, I'm doing the little challenge for myself of attempting to read a book a week. Who knows if I will actually manage this, but I think I read maybe four or five books last year and three of them were in the same series, so literally anything will be an improvement on that, lol. To that end: scifi and fantasy book recommendations. Please rec to me your favorite books of the last...five years or so? I enjoy found family and books where the author clearly loves all the characters but that doesn't mean the characters can stand to be in the same room as one another. I also would love any recs for novels translated into English that you found particularly compelling. (Also preferably scifi/fantasy. :)) I developed a fondness for translated-from-Chinese ones, but I haven't poked around anything recently.
  
  
• Hi! Yes! Please rec me fanfiction. I will read any length, and my primary reading fandoms are: Star Wars, SVSSS, BBC Merlin, MDZS, Batfam, Teen Wolf, Stargate, Leverage, The Sentinel, ATLA, Murderbot, Witcher, Game of Thrones, and Fandom-inspired Original Works. I love outsider PoV and Original Characters, and longfic that is...internally consistent enough that I don't necessarily need to know canon. I adore fusions and crossovers and crack treated seriously. (May I direct your attention to my favorite Yuri on Ice+FMA fusion, seated alongside my beloved Dresden Files+Welcome to Nightvale Time Travel Epic.) Also, if you have any time travel fics, I would adore them. I have eaten through a huge chunk of the Star Wars and MDZS ones but I keep finding more and I love them immensely. I will at least attempt a canon I am canonblind for.
  
  
• I would love it if you dropped me your Ao3 or other fic site so I can poke around and maybe chat about your fanfiction that you're writing? Mine is desiderii as an example of what I write/enjoy, though since I mostly write longfic and everything that's up is old and getting older, I'm not asking for comments (lol). Just. Share with me what you do! If you write fic, what's your current fandom and what's your favorite fandom you've written for?

for the request for fic recs, i think of A Backstitch In Time by Megaerakles (batfam, partial outsider POV on time travel) and The Teenage Girl's Self-Saving System by mercyandmagic (mdzs OC-insert with svsss elements). also i don't know if you're into MCU, but i really liked this crossover with Welcome to Night Vale: Taste of Home by daroos.

also i would love to take a look at this YOI+FMA fusion you mentioned, if you don't mind 👀 that sounds incredible!

If you write fic, what's your current fandom and what's your favorite fandom you've written for? i had to pause and think about this for a second, because i would say that my main current fandom is kpop rpf, but perhaps that's many fandoms in a trench coat. i think maybe some of my favorite fandoms i've written for are the smallest ones (Coppelion, White Christmas)? very quiet, but it's nice to feel like i'm contributing and exploring new ground from a fic angle. my ao3 account is here.
