Fandom Snowflake Challenge Day 4
I'm rather late to this but January has kept me rather busy so far >.>. I'll be going back and doing the ones I missed but this challenge is to: create a fannish wishlist. No limits on size or type of fanwork; just tell us what you’d like to see.
So, without further ado, here's my wishlist.
What I honestly want to see in fandom is more complex characterizations of Finarfin. I am tired of him being seen as a shallow pretty boy when I feel he has the potential for more than that. That being said, I would love to see more works that show just how dangerous he could be given the right motivation. I want to see his anger at his family being slaughtered, I want to see him cruel and careless and complex and flawed because I feel too often we make him appear saint like when I feel he isn't.
Saying that, I also would like to see more slash stories about him, most of the ones I've found are ones that I've written and I would kill to see more Manwe/Finarfin, or hell, even Irmo or Osse/Finarfin. Give me Finarfin in all the slash ships please.
Or Morgoth coming to Finarfin in Valinor because Finarfin was supposed to be easy to sway but instead finding a golden seer with a spine of steel and eyes like flames. He is not to be swayed easily and Morgoth suddenly wants him like he wants Feanor.
Basically Morgoth/Finarfin I'm getting at here.
