In your own space, make a list — anything between one and ten things is a sweet spot, but don't feel constrained by that! - of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, or that you'd like someone to make for you.

1. Good Omens fic and/or art recs that show Crowley and Aziraphale through the ages or is at least set in sometime in history. Episode three of the mini series was my favorite and I can't get enough of it.

2. A detailed break down of the costumes of Good Omens, especially Crowley's and Aziraphale's. I'm obsessed with costuming and I love all the little details. I can't find anything that goes into very much detail for Good Omens though. Everything I find just sort of glosses over it in broad strokes like “most of Aziraphale's outfits have an angel wings details” without examples.

3. Negasonic Teenage Warhead/Yukio (X-Men & Deadpool) – fic recs, art, moodboards, anything. I just need more of them.

4. Graphics help: I co-mod [community profile] madrona_project. We have a graphics issue. The original creator of the comm used to make all the graphics. She has passed away and none of the rest of us know how. The biggest thing is the claims map. It is essentially a map of Europe with a grid on it where we mark people's land claims in the comm. The DW version of the map died. The LJ version of it lives for at the moment, but we haven't been able to successfully save it. It's here. We either need to figure out how to save it or recreate it. It would also be nice to have a version of the map with the current country lines on it so people can compare the two and help them decide where to claim their square. The second biggest thing is she also used to make backgrounds (journal style?) and we'd change them seasonally. We no longer have access to those. It would be nice to have at least one really nice one that we could customize with sidebar links. There are other graphics that would be nice, but those are the big ones at the moment. When Cheshirejin was in the hospital, she asked me to help Vexed keep the comm the going, but it's been hard. Help with the graphics would be amazing.

5. Tracklist: Fucking Kodiak, Alaska by Xenodike was one of my favorite fics ever. It has been taken down from the internet. I believe they took it down so they could try to get it published. I lost the details and hope they were successful. BUT the fic had a great chapter by chapter playlist. I would be really grateful if someone could give me at least the tracklist from the playlist.

6. Icons: What I am looking for: a multifandom icon, Stargate fandom icons, Non-character specific Supernatural fandom icons, rainbows, mushrooms, seasonal icons I can swap out as the seasons change or for different holidays, queer/LGBTQAI+ themed icons, pagan themed icons, and horror themed icons to use on DW.

7. Book recs: I'm in three reading challenges and am having trouble with the following prompts and looking for recs: a novel SET between 1950-1970, a book that was translated into English, a book written by an author who has died during your lifetime (aka died after 1985), a novel that takes place in Oregon, a book written by an author with your same initials (KP), & a book with antonyms in the title.

If you are interested, I have a year round wishlist here and my [community profile] stocking_wishlist wishlist is here.

Thank you.

#7: Anything by Terry Pratchett. Stephen Hawking. Toni Morrison. Robert Jordan. Octavia Butler.
All of them died after 1985. I'll check my Goodreads tomorrow for the rest. This is literally off the top of my head.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett takes place in the 1960s.
A Wrinkle in Time was published in the 1960s. It doesn't actually state a specific date in-universe, but it has the feel of that time.
The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal takes place in an AU 1950s and 1960s.

Technically almost any of Terry Brooks' Shannara series takes place in Oregon. ...just an Oregon that is in the far, far future and no longer called Oregon.

I don;t have any other recs. Weirdly, I have not read anything by an author with the initials KP, or that take place in Oregon. I'm sorry!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fiction_set_in_Oregon :P (Probably check if they're accurate.)

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/83157.Books_with_Antonym_Titles (It's long, I only looked at the first page. There was at least something I had read, as well as something I'd be interested in reading.)

Not originally in English could be anything! Tove Jansson's Moomin books. Swedish crime fiction. Graphic novels (lots of classics originally in French: Blacksad, Persepolis...). Classics (War & Peace is also a title with an antonym XD, novellas/plays/short story collections by other writers are shorter). Coelho (not really a fan). What do you like to read?

I always recommend The Seamstress by Maria Duenas (also called The Time in Between), originally written in Spanish.

I've a question about your #4, the graphics help needed. Is this map interactive, so you can click a square and fill it when a square is claimed?
I'm not sure if I can help at all, as I'm only doing graphics on a low scale so far; but one of my goals for this year is improving my graphics skills, so if you'll find nobody else perhaps I can figure out what do to to help you. So far, I'm mostly making icons or banners from my own photographs - of those I have a lot in high quality which might be useful for your other graphics needs; I'm mostly doing landscape photography but also have a good number of travel pics from historic places and architecture around central and northern Europe (I'm Germany based).

For your request about book recs, if you’re into fantasy, perhaps I have something for your fill for translated into English: Andrezj Sapkowski's The Witcher series are translated from Polish. There are volumes with short stories, too (some of whom have been used for the current first season of the TV series), if you're looking for something shorter.
There's also Michael Ende's Neverending Story, translated from German, which would also fill "author who has died during your lifetime", he's died in 1995.

I'll be back about the icons; if I can dig out the originals I can make a mushroom and a rainbow icon for you.
