Day 2In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

This is seriously one of the best fics I've ever read. It has the most adorable romance between Tommy and Merton, and stays true to the weird, campy, cracktastic shenanigans of the series. You don't even have to know the canon to enjoy it; I think it stands alone really well. A must-read for anyone who likes goofy horror and adorable gay boys.

If you haven't seen VP,
watch it. Now. I promise, it is not as silly as it sounds (nor is it as melodramatic angsty as seems to be required of anything involving vampires).
Once you've watched it, read this story. With very little interaction, the author manages to capture the way all the characters relate to one another, and does a fabulous job imitating the atmosphere of the series. It's a really wonderful story.

One of my favorite things about the canon is the unconventional not-quite-romance between Balsa and Tanda, and their odd little family dynamic with Chagum. This story plays with it in a way that's absolutely delicious and sweet and satisfying.
Day 4In 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.
For years now, I've dreamed of someone doing a fanart of the ladies of
Fullmetal Alchemist having a sleepover. Their own, special kind of sleepover, where Winry and Riza exchange techniques for keeping guns/automail clean and Sheska gives Gracia recipes she memorized from the library and I don't even know but I just really, really want all the ladies of FMA to hang out together.
I'd also love a
Doctor Who music video to the song "Those You've Known" from
Spring Awakening, because I think that's the perfect song to describe his feelings towards all his companions.
Finally, I would love a crossover between
Avatar: The Last Airbender and
Fullmetal Alchemist. Their worlds are so different, but thematically they're so compatible -- I feel a crossover would be a thing of beauty.
