Challenge 6

[community profile] snowflake_challenge Challenges 6 asks me to make a list of things I want. oof.

1. More plotty femslash. By preference in a fandom I know, but I'll take fandoms I don't know and read 'em like origfic. I am not saying I'll read it all, I just really want it to exist in the world.

2. Someone to nod and smile and make approving noises at me while I flail about Dragon Age Inquisition. I've just last night finished the main storyline and started Trespasser and I have all the feels but no one to share them with.

3. Icons of women with swords or axes but not in 'that kind' of armor. (armor does not need a boob window)

4. More people to have contact info on the AO3. (email? twitter? any way to contact other than a comment?) And possibly a transformative works statement.

I recall a (website? project? Twitter thread?) entitled Women In Practical Armor that collected examples of the thing you are looking for, and also generally lamenting and critiquing common features of armor that is really mostly decorative rather than doing its job of being protective.

Icons are usually "figure out what you want to get, figure out how much of it you can capture in a 100x100 square, crop/resize, save." Most free image programs can handle that, but most of the making an icon is in figuring out what to capture.

If that helps?

Oh, understood. Moving takes up a lot of space in brain, body, and living area, so it makes sense to put things on hold until then.
