So. This world is crazy and despair-inducing a really horrible percentage of the time.

And I always feel lucky that, in the midst of all of it, I know all of you. You're what I'm grateful for, as usual, even though I don't always say it. You guys are my daily hope, basically. So thank you all for existing and then for sharing that existence with me in such lovely comments. You are delights and you make me smile and I'd probably write all these stories anyway, but I especially love to be able to get to share them with you. I frequently think, "Eep! I can't wait to see what everyone thinks about [a particular thing I write]!" You just make it all so much fun.

(I wish there was a way to send a message to everyone on AO3, but I'll have to hope you AO3'ers see this somewhere.)

Just as Santa finishes up the Thanksgiving Day parade, I figured I'd finish up this Thanksgiving post with a Santa reference. (Not the Advent drabble prompt post. That'll be tomorrow.) But I thought it'd be fun if we did Fandom Wish Lists for Santa. Here's what's on my Fandom Wish List:

  • I want Martin Freeman's SNL to be awesome.

  • And maybe to have a skit that's entirely him doing reaction shots a la UK Office.

  • I want Benedict to grow his hair back out to Sherlock style because, well, Sherlock shooting!

  • I want a Christmas special next year that's old-school, and by that I don't mean the costuming, by that I mean "about John and Sherlock and not about the Watson family with Sherlock hovering on the side."

  • I want "The Imitation Game" not to make me cry too, too, too much.

  • I want every single glorious AU in every single fandom to be magically updated with more fantabulous words every time I sit down to read some fic. 

  • I want as much schmoopy Christmas fanart as the marvelous fanartists wish to give me.

  • I want Joseph Gordon-Levitt to keep being awesome.

  • And maybe shoot a movie in Mississippi.

  • While I'm there.

  • But not in a creepy way.

  • I swear.

  • I want people--especially people interviewing Benedict and Benedict in reply--to stop talking about fans like we're all silly fools.

  • In fact, what I really want is someone interviewing Benedict to say, "Hey, you know, some of these fans have really awesome, interesting, deep thoughts!" and have Benedict say in reply, "It's true, I respect the point of view that they bring, especially considering how little mainstream society pays attention to a lot of the perspectives."

What's on your Fandom Wish List? Add in the comments!

- I want the RSC DVDs to keep being excellent.
- I want the National Theatre to start releasing their productions on DVD, or Digital Theatre, or *somewhere* that doesn't mean people have to take a day off work and make an archive appointment to watch one of their recorded productions.
- I want lots of holiday fic!
- And more fic in general for the tiny, tiny fandoms I am involved in.
- I want less wank and more communal squeefests over things.
- I want the Good Omens radio play to be excellent.

I want Operation Baby Girl Watson (http://earlgreytea68.livejournal.com/457073.html) to be the script for series 3. And John Watson's Twelve Days of Christmas (http://earlgreytea68.livejournal.com/393685.html) to be the script for the Christmas special. I don't think it's asking too much. :D

I don't know about a wish list*, but I'm thankful that talented people like you share your work with us!


(*Maybe more Oliver Watson-Holmes? ;))

Well, just about "ditto" to most of those.

That Earlgreytea will write a little more 'Nature & Nurture'. (I miss Oliver sooooo much, and would love to see another Christmas with him! *grin*)

That Season 4 (and Special) returns us to the Sherlock and John of Series 1 and 2, or at least that we return to looking at things from John's point-of-view. ("Brilliant!" and all that . . .)

That an interviewer would ask Benedict some really interesting and penetrative questions (not personal) so he can give some answers we've never heard before.

That LJ and AO3 writers continue to write as consistently well as they currently do, or even surpass their loveliness.

Peace and goodwill to all.

All of the above apply :)

Also, if anyone has seen my Sherlock!muse about, I'd quite like him back for Christmas...

More fandom love and less fandom wank. Not just from exterior sources (such as the media) but from within, too.

Have a wonderful holiday season.
