2023 SCHEDULE/RULES

[personal profile] wish_upon_a_meme is a relaxed December gifting event modeled on prompt memes and the dearly departed LJ comm [livejournal.com profile] insmallpackages. Here you can request not just fanworks for your fandoms, but book and music recs, holiday greetings, personal anecdotes, pics of people's flowers/cats/holiday decor… whatever you can think of that could go in a comment, you can request here!

SCHEDULE:
  • Dec 1 to Dec 31: Requests may be posted. Please do not post requests after this date.
  • Dec 1 to Jan 14: Fills may be posted.


HOW IT WORKS:
  • Post your requests ANONYMOUSLY in the comments to this post. You can do that by posting while logged out or by hitting the "more options" button in the reply window.

  • Find people’s requests to fill! You can fill requests anonymously or logged in. Fills may be posted here, or they may be posted elsewhere and linked in your comment. Fills must be publicly accessible, ie not on a locked journal, a tumblr that requires logging in to view, etc.

Holiday side dishes

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I would love some recipes for savory holiday side dishes, especially ones involving vegetables or ones without a lot of prep. No food allergies or special dietary needs to be concerned about. USian measuring units preferred, but I can convert.

I would like some vintage airplane icons, please, in DW-compatible sizes! I prefer earlier than the 1980s, any previous style or era except WW2 military planes. I would especially like one of a float plane or amphibious plane, or something to do with early Arctic aviation and bush flying.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Captain Marvel - Minn-Erva or/and Yon-Rogg, some kind of whump or hurt/comfort fic. I ship Yon-Rogg with Carol and Minn-Erva with Carol, Valkyrie, or Nebula, or gen is also welcome. I like all the Captain Marvel characters, and I think any of them would be fun to see interact with Minn-Erva or Yon-Rogg.

Mocktail Recipes

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'd love some mocktail recipes. Alcohol additions options are fine, but I'd prefer recipes designed to be a mocktail. Sweet or savory. No floral flavor profiles, preferably. No allergies to be consider.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
I would love a ficlet for Suspiria (2018)! Anything with worldbuilding (cosmic horrors! witchy politics!) or psychological stuff or fucked up femslash. Post-canon Susie/Madame Blanc would be super neat.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
I would love recs for either canons or fics that have to do with building places and areas, whether small (character builds a home/homestead), medium (village/town) or large (kingdom/planet building).

I prefer complete/finished canons/fics, thank you!

The most beloved holiday side dish in my household is the height of simplicity, and doesn't take long, either. It's roasted brussels sprouts. Heat your oven to 425F, wash and halve a pound of brussels sprouts, then throw them in a plastic bag with a few tablespoons of olive oil and kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Shake the bag well to distribute the oil and seasonings, then lay the brussels sprouts cut side down on a cookie sheet big enough that you can spread them out so none of them are touching.

Put them in the oven on the middle rack for 17 to 25 minutes. You want a nice, dark brown, nearly black, and you don't want to move or flip them in order to achieve that caramelization. They'll end up beautifully crispy on the outside, almost creamy on the inside, with a nutty, sweetly green taste that's addictive.

They don't reheat well, but they're dead easy, so even as a spoonie, I can whip up a fresh batch to go with holiday leftovers.

I hope this is something close to what you were asking for!

A post-canon Everybody Lives/Nobody Dies Rogue One fic in this vein, if that happens to be your cup of tea: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27791095

Cheetahs!

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like pretty much anything related to cheetahs, as in recs/your own: photos, graphics, icons, artwork, vids etc. I just love them!

Historical Detective books

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like recs for historical detective books set in either the Roman or Tudor eras that don't have lots of romance in them. I've read Steven Saylor, Lindsey Davis, Ruth Downie, Rosemary Rowe, Graham Brack (Roman era) and C J Sansom (Tudor era), and are looking for more (though not S J Parris, sorry).

YT recs

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like recs for YouTube channels that you follow/enjoy where a professional takes clips from TV shows/movies and points out (preferably with humour) the errors that have been made. The only one I follow atm in that category is Fire Department Chronicles, and he hasn't done a good poke at TV/movie one for a while (though I do like his other vids).

YT recs

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like recs for YouTube channels that you follow/enjoy to do with architecture, more looking at and discussing architecture that exists, especially if historic, rather than the building processes/DIY/architects drawings side of things. I don't follow anything like this atm.

YT recs

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like recs for YouTube channels that you follow/enjoy to do with history, more the life of the people in that era, what they wore, ate etc, not so much about warfare. I follow History Hit, but that does seem very war orientated at times!

YT recs

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like recs for YouTube channels that you follow/enjoy to do with pet animals - either vets, dog groomers and that sort of thing, or people with pets. I follow The Girl With The Dogs, The Girl With The Dogs 2, mrandrewcotter and Cole and Marmalade atm.

YT recs

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like recs for YouTube channels that you follow/enjoy to do with wild animals, not arachnids or ants, and I definitely have a preference for wild felines/canines, but I'm happy to try other animal-related ones. I follow The Lion Whisperer, Dolph C. Volker (The Cheetah Whisperer) and Zoo Borns atm.

I would like recs for YouTube channels that you follow/enjoy to do with farming - sustainable/small farms preferred, but will consider anything. The only one I follow atm is Gold Shaw Farm.

Dune (2021) fanart

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
The new Dune movie is so gorgeous, it feels like every shot was designed to be a promo still. I would love original art for it. I love all kinds of traditional media, and digital is also great. For characters I'm especially fond of Jessica, Paul, and Liet Kynes, in any combo, but I'd also be really happy with art of any of the settings or objects in the movie. I would be happy with your personal artistic interpretation of ANY of the visuals.

Podfic with background ambience

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love a podfic with background ambient sounds throughout or as a listening option in addition to the normal recording. I prefer the sound of rain or storms, waves, and ambient noise that fits the canon, such as ship engine noise for Star Trek or wind for The Terror. Anything for these fandoms would be adored: Our Flag Means Death, Star Trek (TNG), Star Wars (Original Trilogy), Loki, The Terror, and Night at the Museum. Any pairing(s) or rating welcome!

One-dish Recipes!

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Trying to eat healthier, but I'm a terrible cook, so I'd appreciate any quick and simple recipes that don't require much skill. I'd especially love some one-dish recipes, like casseroles, stews, pot roasts, etc. Nothing spicy or with too many spices, as I have a very sensitive stomach. Beyond that, I'm open to pretty much anything. Some foods I love are potatoes, pasta, rice, beef, green beans, and broccoli.

In Finland we have couple of traditional savory vegetable sides that are fairly easy to make: Rosolli (a pickled beetroot salad) and rutabaga and carrot casseroles. You can find recipes for them here: https://finland.fi/christmas/christmas-cookbook/

Bernadette Banner: focuses on historical fashion, including the making of historical garments and critiquing the supposedly-historical fashion shown in period dramas. The occasional guinea pig makes an appearance in her videos.

Asta Darling: I primarily watch her shorts, which are historical Get Ready With Me videos.

TV Show Rec: High Fantasy Sitcom

(Anonymous) 2023-12-02 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ever since I saw someone make a video edit (https://youtu.be/_FG9TBZhrUU) of Baldur's Gate III with the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. theme song, I have been longing for a high fantasy sitcom show. Does anything along these lines exist? I'm cool with both animated and live-action.

Re: YT recs

Thank you, those look good! I shall enjoy exploring them!
