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

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

*HUGS*

Yeah, that's pretty well done, but it's, uh, Russell Crowe. I'm sorry, but to me, RC will always be RC and not Jack Aubrey.

Thanks!

Have you ever seen his cousin the cricketer Martin Crowe? I saw an interview they gave together and just thought 'There! That's more like what Jack Aubrey looks like!' RC is no dainty little thing but Martin seemed both broader and taller, properly blonde and ruddy faced, positively leonine. He made RC look.... hmm, difficult to find the right words without sounding like I'm dissing RC when I don't mean to do that - but the lesser star than his cousin, overshadowed and also more finely featured. If they were both ship's captains and you could only follow one in to battle I would be more drawn to following Martin - and I never thought I'd say that!

OK, I looked him up, and the body type's there but... god I'm so picky... ugly...

Small eyes you could never see that bright blue, and a down-turned mouth that doesn't look like it's made for laughing.

OK, so I'm picky picky picky

But yeah, more Jack-like

He's a bit better looking when he's moving rather than just a still shot - besides, Jack's no Adonis you know, and in the interview I saw Martin was laughing a lot. I'm not saying he's a perfect fit or anything, but he's closer...
