Snowflake Challenge #8

[pronker]

In your own space, create a wishlist.

I'm up for these wishes:

In the spirit of fandom, I wish that folks would browse here to see inspired designs.

I wish I knew more ways to go back to sleep after awakening at least once nightly.

A so far out in left field that even Ka'ai Tom would have trouble catching it wish: that an artist cartoon Dame Judi Dench as a penguin.



And now, back to familiar territory with a twist:

I wish for someone to comment on any one of 363 stories by a favorite author, Random Guise. There's fandoms galore and so much to choose from!

If fanart is your thing, then I wish you'd sneak a peek at The Gayest Comic by madamedobato. There are years of fully realized work here.

And lastly, yes, I wish for a comment for one AO3 story of mine, Whump!

This is a fabulous wish list, seriously, you hooked me with Dame Judi Dench as a Penguin seriously, I want to see this! I so love Judi Dench.

I wake up two to three times a night, so I do empathise with you there. I have so many joint issues that pain wakes me up in every position I lie in. I have recently subscribed to the Headspace app (having been able to use it under license from work for a year) and i love their sleepcasts, I do find they help me get back to sleep.

So, I have opened all of the links in your post to take a look and, once I have time, I will read and comment on Whump!

I hope the wishlist fairy grants your wishes :)

Thanks for checking everything out and I wish your pain to end quickly - it's tough to have a clear mind during the day when sleep eludes one ...

Headspace sounds like a winner and I'll look into that.

I also love Judi! :)

[sjh2009]

Seriously, Whump is so wonderful, why haven't more people read and commented, it's such a brilliant story! (And yes, I have commented.)

[pronker]

Oh my, thanks! That's music to my earholes. :)

Oh, goodness, WhmZcoats are glorious. Thank you for linking.

You are welcome!

[pronker]

The garments are customizable and practical and whimsical, all three!

those whmzcoats are so cool! pretty AND practical! i mean, pockets. :D also i really hope someone takes you up on drawing dame judi as a penguin, because penguins. /( v )\

[pronker]

Aren't the coats fantastic? I like how she describes the lining as being just as worthy of attention as the outside. She attends DragonCon and we used to attend Ren Fairs together eons ago.

Oh, I hope so, too! I think Judi's features lend themselves to a penguin cast. I'm currently getting up my courage to attempt something.

Boosted on my blog.

I thought I had a general how-to-sleep post, but all I could find was Sleep Magic.

Many people find it helpful to listen to something soothing. There are plenty of relaxation and slow TV channels on YouTube. And here's every Bob Ross episode:

Done.

The coats are dreamy and so appropriate to whatever fandom one wishes. She's a fabulous designer. Thanks for boosting her site.

Eeeee, the practical side of me appreciates the sleep hints and the fannish side sprints to the comment section. Many thanks for reading.

Re: Thoughts

The links about sleep each had good ideas. I'll add one, just now recalled: Lie on the back because that makes the guts compress the vagus nerve, which can make one sleepy after awhile. Then roll over to whatever side is comfortable, unless you like sleeping on your back. I do not.

Thanks so much for those links! That comic looks interesting!

[pronker]

It definitely is a labor of love and drawn, plotted and colored by a talented person. :) I've followed it for some years now.
