Earlier today I spotted a post from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kass, who wrote a story for the Idyll Challenge! \o/ I'm so chuffed.
Which got me thinking that, er, I should really start thinking about this. *kof* I need to pick a fandom. Or fandoms; in my head, this is lining up with Shacks in that there should be lots! Every fandom should get an idyll! Write moar! (or, you know, write at all, self.)
Kass's story is in Welcome to Night Vale, which I am boggled to see is already approaching a thousand fanworks on AO3. Good gravy. I've been all amazed at myself for being in (what is for me these days) the big fandom of Person of Interest, which has more than 1,500 fanworks after just a couple of years! ... WtNV's been out for what, a month, or something?
I'm not really good with audio source; I find it very difficult to focus on things with just my ears, and wind up doing other stuff to distract my eyes and hands (like reading, or watching tv on mute, or doing crosswords/playing solitaire), and losing the thread of the audio. So I don't know that I'll even bother trying WtNV, but more power to everyone enjoying it so much, that's awesome.
... ten minutes later ...
*cracks up at self*
I just spotted a link to the first s3 POI promo. I had this moment of OH YAY followed instantly by ACK DON'T CLICK and literally pulling my hands away from my laptop to be safe.
I will see it eventually. Just, apparently, not right now... (here's the link, for them as want it -- and ha, good instincts, it goes to spoilertv.com - a place I have unsurprisingly never been)
Meanwhile, any fandom requests for idylls? No promises I'll do them, but maybe seeing someone else name a fandom will spark something more concrete than I've got so far.
I also need to useastolat's idea of looking up fantasy vacations for inspiration.
(Day 8 of posting! I don't think I've ever managed that before, not even back in the mailing list days when I was way more active.)
