spiraliciousI'm doing the challenges a little out of order because one of my wishes has a deadline.
Challenge #5
In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.
It always feels a little weird doing a wishlist so soon after the holidays, especially as some exchanges like Fandom Trees usually haven't done their reveals yet, but that relates to my main wish on my wishlist right now.
1) If you have time and inclination, please check out the needy trees at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomtrees. The goal is for every person who signed up to have at least two gifts under their tree before the reveals on the 17th and it looks we have nine people who still have zero or only one gift. You do not need to have signed up with a tree to leave fills under a tree.
2) Tell me your favorite place to play in fandom or consume fandomy things that isn't DW or AO3.
3) Rec me your favorite thing you read last year; fic, book, article, blog, whatever. Audio, physical, e-format, etc. It all counts, as long as you loved it.
Thank you for reading.

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.
1) I'd like to see... episode picture books? anime comics-equivalent? of Star Trek--full script with relevant screenshots of each scene, that I could reread when I can't rewatch saif episodes.
Star Trek fandom being so big so old and so autistic, probably it already exists somewhere, but where?
2) I've been searching with no success for a copy of Yoko Tsuno's album #19, "Rheingold", in its German translation--just this one, I'm not interested in a Sammelband (qu'est-ce que je ferais d'une traduction des "Exilés de Kifa" et j'sais même plus quel est le troisième dedans, je les ai déjà en français et ils ne se passent pas en Allemagne)
if I really can't get a physical copy, then a legible scanned .pdf would do at this point, please?
3) once again I'm begging people to deplatform JKR, and to do so, to drop the Harry Potter fandom, no matter how attached you felt to it in the past.
There's "being an asshole", and there's actively using mega wealth + fame to fund anti-trans bills rooted in bioessentialism and against bodily autonomy that'll have repercussions on other queer people, intersex people, disabled people, and even on the reproductive rights of the women she pretends to want to protect; repercussions in other countries too by sad example emboldening fascists wherever.
No engaging in the series. No creating fanworks. Certainly not promoting in on seasonal fannish events.
If you can boycott, say, Gaiman for being--most probably--a rapist, then also boycott JKR for being a far-right activist, and yes that includes fandom not just twitter. Even your so called trans-friendly fanwork could still be the reason a young fan gets exposed to the fandom, gets into the series, then buys merch and/or buys into her rotten ideas.
I know it sucks, I know it's unfair. But the real magic was not in her books, it was in the sense of community and wonder we built together. It doubly sucks than she tainted that. But she did, and she's doing real harm with your engagement.
So. Please. Stop.

Jan. 8th, 2026 12:52 amflareonfuryCrossposting my comment from booknook. If I can remember to keep this up for every "Wednesday Reading Progress" that would be great or maybe every other week. I don't normally post comments on Goodreads just ratings so this might be a good way to remember my feelings about a particular book/author. Please note that I mainly read Romance books, other genres are usually secondary.
In this case, some of my thoughts were already posted in a previous post.
