Challenge #3

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1.) Vids (or vid recs) from fandoms involving space ships, set to sea shanties. Particularly vids focusing on the ship(s) i. It is taking all of my restraint not to turn this into a manifesto on why someone who isn't me should make a Star Trek vid to this particular cover of the song Day of the Clipper, because I'm not sure that's what this prompt is about.

2.) Sci Fi/Fantasy book recs (would also welcome nonfiction recs).

3.) Murderbot Diaries fanwork recs, particularly fanart. (I got a box set of the first four novellas for christmas and am currently obsessed. The only reason I haven't finished Exit Strategy already is because I got distracted by fic).

4.) Star Wars: The High Republic Phase I fanwork recs.

Two of my favourite books I think might fit the scifi/fantasy genre a little.

C. Robert Cargill's Sea of Rust is set in the aftermath of a robot/human war. The robots won. (This is not a spoiler.) And Day Zero is a prequel starting at, well, the first day of the uprising, and focusing on a robot caretaker and its charge. You don't necessarily have to have read Sea of Rust to understand Day Zero. I adore them both, but probably love Day Zero a little bit more.

Cargill is also the screenwriter of one of the Dr. Strange movies and Joe Hill's The Black Phone, among others.
