Taking on the meme/challenge here.

Fandom Snowflake Challenge #7

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you’d love to receive, something you’ve wanted but were afraid to ask for — a wishlist of sorts. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment here saying you did it. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people’s posts. Maybe YOU will grant a wish.

Truth is, I’ve done this before, and most of what I hoped for is still something I’d like to get.

1. A Buffy the Vampire Slayer story site devoted to vampHarmony. She’s just fun to read about.
    
2. Stories — new, or links to stories already in existence — about Harmony and Drusilla teaming up for off-the-wall hijinks. Something about the whole concept just tickles me.
    
3. Drop a note to me if you’re a BtVS fan/author, especially if you’re still operating on LiveJournal, because that’s my main source of interaction these days. I signed on almost 20 years ago, and most of the contacts I made from those days have either left LJ or left BtVS fanfic writing; it would be nice to acquire some replacements, because I miss mixing with like-minded folks.

Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

I am still active on LiveJournal. I post at least once a week, sometimes more often.

I am a fan of Buffy and Angel. I haven't done much fanwriting in that canon. However! I do regular prompt calls when readers can ask for whatever they want based on the current theme. Fannish prompts are fine because I can use the results as the freebie. Most often it's Love Is For Children (https://ysabetwordsmith.dreamwidth.org/9744636.html) (The Avengers) but I'm familiar enough with Buffy that I could write it if you feel like dropping by to prompt for it. Next up will be the Creative Jam on January 18-19 with a theme of "Work." The next Poetry Fishbowl will be Tuesday, February 4 but the theme isn't set yet; I'm currently doing the Theme Call (https://ysabetwordsmith.dreamwidth.org/14753834.html).

I’ve seen you around, so I know you’re someone to regard with interest. I’ve added you to my friends list, and I’ll see what comes of it. I’ve never attempted poetry in fanfic, but then I’d never done drabbles till I did one, so there’s no saying. Thanks for responding to this, and I welcome your presence.

Yay!

I have added you back.

Much of what I write is narrative free verse, although I did short forms in January. I like to look for forms that fit a given setting, so for instance with Asian I like haiku and tanka. Writing poetry doesn't have to be hard, and is well worth a try.
