Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Fandom Wishlist

[rogueslayer452]

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.

01. Icons of the following shows/characters/pairings: (the bolded are highly requested)

- Detective L (specifically of Huo Wensi, Luo Fei/Huo Wensi)
- Fangs of Fortune (Zhuo Yichen, Zhao Yuanzhou)
- The Blossoming Love (Mu Xuanling)
- Meet You At The Blossom (Zongzheng Huaien, Huaien/Xiaobao)
- Till The End of the Moon (Tantai Jin, Pian Ran)
- 23.5 Degrees (Aylin, Alpha, Charoen)
- The Untamed (Xue Yang)

02. Weird fiction recommendations. I tend to find a lot of things accidentally, but sometimes it can be hard to find something specifically to my tastes. I like a lot of weird fiction, weird science fiction/horror in particular, but anything goes in terms of the bizarre and straight up trippy storytelling. Examples of this include: the Dune series by Frank Herbert, anything from Jeff VanderMeer (The Southern Reach Trilogy, Borne, The Strange Bird, Dead Astronauts), television shows like Doom Patrol, Legion, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, movies such as Peau d'âne (Donkey Skin), Něco z Alenky and the filmography of Jan Švankmajer. Any medium, any genre, any language, any era. The more obscure the better, preferably.

Are you familiar with Catherynne M. Valente? While she tends to lose me a bit with her endings, no one can say her fiction isn't delightfully strange. Her most accessible work, in my opinion, is the Orphan's Tales duology which is told in a Scheherazade/One Thousand and One Nights way, with many stories within a story. But, if you want to fully commit to the Catherynne M. Valente experience, try Radiance. Set in a retrofuture that has both space-faring and silent black-and-white films contemporaneously, it proceeds to swap genres at every major part of the book, containing a neo-noir section, epistolary interview sections, screenplay, etc. It falls apart at the ending, but it is a ride in getting there. Some people love her stuff, some people hate it, I really love parts of it and roll my eyes at others. Still, definitely worth a read!
