Snowflake 4 & 5 - Whishlist & Ressource

[jainas]

Create a fannish wishlist. No limits on size or type of fanwork; just tell us what you’d like to see. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. And if you grant a wish, do the same thing!

1) Basic but always immensely appreciated: comments (not even 100% positive as long as they are constructive! ;) ) on my fanfics or my art.

2) A beta reader for my few fics in english (an American gods short-fic and two star Wars fusion: one with Hannibal, the other with les Mis.). I am sure I have room for improvement!


3) Fics (or recs) for the following fandoms:

- Hunter X Hunter: anything well written really, I love fics that manage to make clever use of the Nen. Gen is very welcome of course, and pairing-wise I especially like Gon/Kirua, Kurapika/Leorio and Isoka/anyone... and as the fandom is pretty dead I haven't seen many fics based on the current arcs, or the most recent worldbuiding... Trans!Kurapika is always welcome.

- Sweet/vicious: anything goes as well, but what I would really really love is a Jules/Ophelia fic with a satisfying end for the Harris romance (I strongly feel that a long term relationship between him and Jules is unsustainable given all the lying... and the murder) and a sensitive examination of all the issues left. I also love all the secondary characters!

- DCU: Batman/Superman. Bonus if there is kryptonite involved
 

Recommend a fannish or creative resource.

This year drawesome has been invaluable, full of lovely people, cheering and links toward drawing tutorials and many other resources... And it's a good motivation. If you draw even a little consider joining, it could give you a boost!

For betaing, I can definitely do the Star Wars/Hannibal fusion, and maybe the SW/Les Mis fic as well.

What are you looking for: just grammar, character voices, something else? I can do grammar on either no problem--I promise you that my English grammar is significantly better than my French. If you want character voices, though, it'll have to just be the Hannibal one; I definitely don't have enough of a grasp on Les Mis characters to provide that kind of feedback. (...Ironically, the last fic I wrote but one was a dialogue-only Hannibal fic where they discuss grammar. Clearly it's fate.)

[jainas]

Hooo, Thank you, its very kind of you!

Honestly, just grammar would be perfect (unless of course you find something especially jarring in the character voices of course, then I welcome feedback as well... but both Star Wars fics were written a bit as a lark and an experiment, so even if the voices aren't quite right I don't think they would be worth a deep rework.)

Grammar is really my weak point, even sometimes in French...^^
I actually consider myself a pretty decent writer, but writing in english is so different, I can't be sure of myself and of my wording the way I am when I write in french... And it's even worst when translating something I first wrote in french, like the American Gods story, who has a complex and almost poetical language... translating that was a bit of a nightmare and I had to simplify or split some sentences... And I'm not sure if the result is always good.^^ It is quite frustrating and difficult to get past that without feedback telling me what works and what doesn't... So thank you ! <3 <3

Ho, you wrote a Hannibal fic! I will have to check it out! :D

[sunlit_stone]

No, it's my pleasure. I'll take a look at them tomorrow. (I admit to being curious about the Hannibal fusion, too.)

Oh man, yeah, translating stuff like that can be really hard. (And whenever I do something like that I'm usually trying to translate into my native tongue, not out of it, which I imagine makes the whole thing even harder.) Anything where the sound of the language matters, or the rhythm--anything in short even faintly poetic--it's hard.

And, thanks! I hope you enjoy it! (Ah--I'm not quite sure if this is insulting to offer, I apologize if so, but if there's anything you have trouble with, I'd be glad to explain it?)

[jainas]

It's not insulting at all! It's very welcome actually, so thank you again!

And if you want some feedback on your french, you only have to ask! :)

[sunlit_stone]

In that case, you're very welcome :)

I don't know that I'm going to be up to ficcing in French anytime soon... I guess if I make a gigantic error in my comments, let me know?

[jainas]

I will try! :)
