Fandom Snowflake Challenge Day 4 and 5: Wishlist and Exploration

[alltoseek]

Day 4's challenge was to create a fandom wishlist. Well, mine's no secret, I prompt for this stuff every chance I get *g*

All Aubreyad:
1. Fanart of Jack Aubrey that reflects all the scars and other wounds on his face, and what remains of his ears ;-) Most art makes him look too pretty - so sorry to say! He is supposed to be good-looking, despite the scars I suppose, although no Adonis, and a cheerful open face made for smiling :-) I do appreciate the artists who make him on the generously-sized side ;-)

What would be wonderful is a portrait in the style of the period, maybe something Sophie commissioned and made him sit still for *g* Though I suppose a portrait like that would typically be full length, and I'm most interested in his face.

2. More fic about the women and girls in the series, especially ones from their POV.

3. Someone to babysit my kids, so I have more time for fannish activities :D

(I can't think of a single thing needed in the already ginourmous Sherlock fandom that I couldn't just do myself anyway, if I wanted it that bad :-)

Day 5's challenge is to branch out in fandom to areas you don't consume - genres or pairings or whatnot. Well, I'm already a pretty voracious consumer of fanworks of all types, but am planning to start listening to podfic, and even record one! So there! :-) And if I do manage to make the podfic, it will be a wish granted to Day 4 post, so how 'bout that? :D

I feel that apart from what's left of his left ear and one or two scars near the hairline, Jack's face is pretty unscared. Nothing like dear Thomas. Now, the body is something different. You really only want a nude illo of Jack, hm?

You are awesome! (When you start listening, don't start with mine. Seriously. They're shit and will put you off. Try one of the other M&C fics on jinjurly's site, there are several readers.)

You said you have a love for the ladies and that you wanted to get into podfic. Have you listened to A Multitude of Counsellors by chestnut_pod? It's a Molly-centered fic about her being the Boss in Forensics.

If you'd like to listen, you can start at the Audiofic Archive and amplificathon to find podfics in all fandoms. A lot of the podfic community is heavily based on Twitter, if that's something that interests you.

There is a portrait in canon! I have a recollection of it being in the drawing room at Ashgrove, with Jack wearing his order of the bath and grenades of some kind exploding behind him. But I'm also pretty sure that was full length. Either that or I'm mixing it up with the self-portrait of the non-flying pilot with the drinki problem from the Airplane movie...!

You're still on LJ so I think you've seen amaraal's sketch of Jack but just in case you haven't... Sketch of Jack
