Snowflake Challenge #3: A Wishlist

[rodo]

Challenge #3

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Right now, I don’t actually have that many fandom wishes. So, here’s my very short list:

1. People to friend who are into Korean dramas and who post about them on occasion (doesn’t matter in what way or how often)
2. Someone to beta one of my unfinished stories (Fandoms: Andor, Banshee, Carnival Row, The King’s Affection, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Warrior (TV 2019), plus Highlander and Babylon Berlin in German)

Those are great fandom wishes. I don't know anything about Korean dramas so I hope you find some kindred spirits through your wishes! Fandom is a broad and wonderful thing. :)

That it is!

I'm into Korean dramas! Mostly watch on Netflix as it's most accessible platform for me; and likely watch a drama if it has my fave actors/actresses in, but will give anything a watch if the trailer looks good.

Currently watching Castaway Diva. Next on my list is GyeongSeong Creature.

What are you currently watching/recently watched?

[rodo]

I mostly watch on Netflix too! And pretty much for the same reason you do. Currently, I'm actually watching the last couple of episodes of Gyeongseong Creature that came out today, and yesterday I finished Secret Royal Inspector & Joy. And during the holidays I watched The Devil Judge.

Highlander in German?

I can’t do it, but I might know someone who can. Do you mind if I share your request elsewhere?

[rodo]

Go ahead! I've mostly stopped writing in German because of the impossibility of finding someone to beta my stories, so I'm glad for any help!

[argentum_ls]

My friend black_dwarf is a Highlander fan who is also German, and would be willing to beta read for you. She says to reach out to her on DW. Or, if you're on Discord, I could hook you two up that way.

[rodo]

Done! (It just too me a while because I have a bit of trouble keeping on top of things right now...) And thank you!

[argentum_ls]

Fantastic!

Thanks for letting me know :)

I post about Korean dramas, a lot of BL ones but there's a bit more variety than that might appear to suggest.

[rodo]

I'm mostly into het and gen, but sure! If there's BL that's about the tropes I love, I'm game.

[corvidology]

As you can see, I don't just post about BL Korean dramas. ;D

To date, Goblin is my favourite Kdrama but there are quite a few giving it a run for its money.

As a fan fic writer, I'm more drawn to M/M fic but that doesn't limit my viewing tastes.

I'm a huge fan of the mystery genre but in dramas in general I'm looking for a 'real' plot but don't mind if there's a romance 'B' plot. It's more that if I'm going to watch something that's more 'romance' than anything else, it's likely to be short episode/short run BL because, again, I would prefer to have a plot.

I have quite a few mates who are into Kdramas as well as Cdramas so you'll probably cross paths with them as well.

[rodo]

I like Goblin as well, but as with most dramas by that writer, I end up getting more invested in the gen relationships than the romance. (Kim Shin & the Grim Reaper are such an awesome friendship...)

[corvidology]

I've always been someone where if I love the canon ships, I've been content with canon. Fan fic usually only comes into play when I ship something that isn't canon and I want to explore it. My small store of Gen fic has been written for Forever and other such familial relationships.

One of the interesting things about getting into Asian dramas for me is that I find myself often loving the canon relationships *and* my own non-canon ones. In Goblin, I love all the relationships exactly as they are... but I also have some interest in Kim Shin/Wang Yeo though I haven't pursued it much/actually written anything for it. That's about to change only because one of my mates requested it for my 12 Days of Christmas offer.

The number of canons I love far outnumbers the number of canons for which I have ships, even canon ones, and that's certainly true of the Kdramas I've watched.

I'm pretty sure that's how all fans work. I've watched a ton of dramas at this point, and I only want fic for a small portion of them - although I usually just want more of canon, if canon leaves the possibility for more, and sometimes fix-its - you know, for the dramas where you love everything except the last 30 minutes...

[corvidology]

Oh, I understand the fix-it all too well as one of my fandoms... yeah. *still not over it*

[rodo]

I think that's a right of passage for drama fans. *laughs*

[corvidology]

In this case, not a drama. Just regular old broadcast telly.

[profiterole_reads]

Hi! Here via corvidology. I also post about k-dramas (and I'm learning Korean).

[rodo]

My attempt to learn Korean is mostly restricted to Duolingo, unfortunately. I hope you're having more luck!

[profiterole_reads]

I did some Duolingo as a complement, but I mostly use textbooks. :-)

[adore]

hello! i'm here from your comment on the master post. i watch k-dramas avidly and post about them on occasion, both general musings or meta and thoughts on specific shows. examples: the sound of magic and the heavenly idol!

i've also posted about a couple of k-movies: method and love and leashes. and i'm studying the korean language. i'd be happy to be friends.

[rodo]

Thank you! *subscribes*

[adore]

i've added you back :)
