Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.

1) I'd like to see... episode picture books? anime comics-equivalent? of Star Trek--full script with relevant screenshots of each scene, that I could reread when I can't rewatch said episodes.
Star Trek fandom being so big so old and so autistic, probably it already exists somewhere, but where?

2) I've been searching with no success for a copy of Yoko Tsuno's album #19, "Rheingold", in its German translation--just this one, I'm not interested in a Sammelband (qu'est-ce que je ferais d'une traduction des "Exilés de Kifa" et j'sais même plus quel est le troisième dedans, je les ai déjà en français et ils ne se passent pas en Allemagne)
if I really can't get a physical copy, then a legible scanned .pdf would do at this point, please?

3) once again I'm begging people to deplatform JKR, and to do so, to drop the Harry Potter fandom, no matter how attached you felt to it in the past.
There's "being an asshole", and there's actively using mega wealth + fame to fund anti-trans bills rooted in bioessentialism and against bodily autonomy that'll have repercussions on other queer people, intersex people, disabled people, and even on the reproductive rights of the women she pretends to want to protect; repercussions in other countries too by sad example emboldening fascists wherever.
No engaging in the series. No creating fanworks. Certainly not promoting in on seasonal fannish events.
If you can boycott, say, Gaiman for being--most probably--a rapist, then also boycott JKR for being a far-right activist, and yes that includes fandom not just twitter. Even your so called trans-friendly fanwork could still be the reason a young fan gets exposed to the fandom, gets into the series, then buys merch and/or buys into her rotten ideas.
I know it sucks, I know it's unfair. But the real magic was not in her books, it was in the sense of community and wonder we built together. It doubly sucks than she tainted that. But she did, and she's doing real harm with your engagement.
So. Please. Stop.

Yeah, I've drifted more and more hardline on #3. I understand that people have different lines in the sand, but I just can't any more. Not at all. None fandom.

Entirely with you on #3. Creating fanworks keeps promoting a canon (and its author), whether that's your intention or not. People are all about herd mentality, and when enough people keep creating for it, others will tell themselves it's fine, because at least they're not the only ones keeping HP in the public awareness. :(

I'm with you on #3. Every mention keeps her and that fandom fresh in people's minds, which means more money people give her, which means more harm she can do ... Just, enough.

Thank you for 3. It's very tiring watching people I otherwise deeply respect just not care enough to draw a line.
