Snowflake #4, 5, & 6

Challenge #4: In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you.

The only thing that springs to mind is that I would LOVE podfic of the BNHA Complicated Creation. I've re-read it multiple times and listened to it a few with a screen reader, but of course the computer voice absolutely mangles the Japanese names and superhero pun names so it's even less adequate than usual. Sadly, 113K word podfic don't just fall out of the sky. The author also doesn't seem to have an blanket permission anywhere, though she has at least one podfic for a different fic so probably open to it. *pines*


Challenge #5: In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do.

I would love to finish writing my long flip-side-of-canon Tharkay story, which would span from his first meeting with Laurence through post-canon. I have a lot of Thoughts and Feelings but I'm maybe 20K in and the damn thing's gonna be 80-100K so I need some discipline to work through it, along with all the canon review and figuring out things about the Peninsular War, and how *does* Tharkay charm dozens of feral dragons into flying across Europe with him, etc. I love a good sarcastic sneaky bastard, but damn they're hard to write.


Challenge #6: Create something.

I finished off a Tumblr post sorting the 9-1-1 main characters into Hogwarts houses based on the Sorting Hat Chats system, which I love to play with as a character tool. I am too worn out now to redo all the formatting but the overview:

Athena Grant - Gryffindor primary/Hufflepuff secondary
Bobby Nash - Hufflepuff primary/Hufflepuff secondary
Evan 'Buck' Buckley - Hufflepuff primary/Gryffindor secondary
Chimney Han - Slytherin primary (Hufflepuff model)/Hufflepuff secondary
Eddie Diaz - Burned Slytherin/Burned secondary (probably Gryffindor)
Hen Wilson - Ravenclaw primary/Ravenclaw secondary
Maddie Buckley - Slytherin primary/Slytherin secondary
May Grant - Ravenclaw primary/Gryffindor secondary

More long-winded babbling about them at the post!

Oh, man, I talked about wanting to write longfic in my post for that challenge, too. WHY IS IT SO HARD.

I think my real problem is FINISHING, honestly. My longest thing on AO3 is my WIP amnesty stash, which is mildly embarrassing. The longest complete thing is 28K, and it was co-written with the twin, sigh. The next longest is only 11K. *Kermit determined face* But I can do better than that!

I'm just over hear chin hands-ing over the very idea of your Tharkay fic. :D
