Sunshine 2019: Prompt 5

Now that we’re well into this challenge, we hope that most of you have been able to reach out to new folks and begin to cultivate new fandom relationships. We’d like to see this go a even a step further!

This challenge is to explore other journals to find wish list items that you can fulfill for someone else. Lots of people have Dear Creator Letters, Fandom Wish List posts from other challenges, and other such posts that readily list their fandom wishes (and if you’d like take this opportunity to create one for yourself now, please do!).

Maybe your new friend has a New Year’s goal post with some fannish wishes tucked therein. Maybe someone would love to find new readers for their fic, some fanart to accompany that WIP they’ve been working on, new icons, paid time for their journal or community page … the ideas are endless. You can choose to sign your name to the granted wish or you can gift someone their wish list item anonymously. What’s important is knowing that you yourself did something to make someone’s day a little bit brighter.

I like to think of it as a bit of a fannish scavenger hunt. Look at other people's profiles and find interests that you share. Check back to this post later and see if any interesting wishes were granted!

This is a lovely challenge, and I feel bad I can’t really participate at the moment. Vacation is coming up and with that very limited computer time. Hopefully, I can return to this challenge after summer.

So it feels a bit awkward to mention my wishlist, but here goes; fanart on any of my fics are always welcome. And comments! I adore comments, even the one-word kind. :)
