keilissIn your own space, make a list — anything between one and ten things is a sweet spot, but don't feel constrained by that! - of things that you wish existed in fandom, or that you'd like someone to make for you.
I have no idea (though a relevant Pink Flamingo icon would make a cool gift). Actually art generally - don't we all want that? It's the ultimate compliment when someone reads a fic and loves it enough to have their creativity sparked by it.
What I would really like is a section on AO3 for pimping challenges. I know it's not likely (or possibly even feasible) but it would be so useful as most fic writers post there. We have![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomcalendar on DW but that's platform specific.
And it would be nice if everyone remembered that their way is not necessarily the One True Way, that we don't all see the characters or canon the same. We might even prefer different, opposing characters to theirs, and that is perfectly all right too.
Yes, the Ao3 wish is more likely, lol.

Date: 2020-01-12 00:33 (UTC)About the first, what about something like this
or
this? (the date is just a wild guess and can easily be changed)
I don't have more than rudimentary grafic software on my notebook, so I'm limited to crop the original image and add a bit of text tonight; but if you like this I'd be happy to make you an icon with the fully-sized flamingo, and a story banner too, if you like.
The image is a painting in the public domain by C.G. Finch-Davies.

So unexpected - wow. Such a lovely gift.

(The ElvenCommon font I'm using for the name has no numerals (?) so I needed to use another one for that.)
Well ...
