Create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts.
Well, I've never been afraid to ask for more of what I want. I just don't ever get it!
1. An epic action-adventure packed Steve/Maria story, where they come together, fall in love, have to defeat an enemy, and get out of it all. Civil War optional, or maybe just the process of Steve realising that while he doesn't want a home-and-family white picket fence kind of life, he does want this one woman, and then having to overcome his expectations of what she might want from him that he's not able to give (the white picket fence).
2. The Star Wars Original Trilogy story (again, epic) where Luke turns to the Dark Side in the Emperor's Throne Room and Leia has to escape Endor, learn to be a Jedi and turn her brother back from the Dark Side.
It would be acceptable to recalibrate this story for Rey and Kylo in the new trilogy, but only if Finn (I want Finn) is played as her emotional anchor on the light side of the Force (and, yes, Poe is another anchor, but secondary). I would want Finn as the warmth and solidity of hearth and home - not the kind of Light Side of the Force that makes a cool and collected rationality of itself, but the other side that anchors the universe - balance. Kylo would be the bright and edgy conflagration of danger - the lure of the Dark Side, sheer, unfettered emotion poured into power.
It would be Rey/Finn (requited, consummated) with a touch of Rey/Kylo (more attraction). And, yes, Poe would be in there, but the story would be about Rey and her choices - of which Finn vs. Kylo is one.
3. I would love a Mucha-style drawing of Maria Hill. Something like the graphic here, only with her standing in uniform, guns in hand, ready to fire. (Alternatively, in the red dress from AoU, Steve's jacket on her shoulders, gun in her hand, looking out of the picture.) The problem is mostly that I don't want one of the promo or movie stills of her superimposed on a Mucha-style background - I want actual hand-drawn art by an artist - original pose, original design, and a reasonable (or, at least, recognisable) resemblance. This is not easy to find.
(Incidentally, I made the graphic in the link; I used Cobie's face, hodgepodged a whole bunch of other elements together (the dress, the arms, the jewel) and then added the hair, the background, and the arch. It took a long time. If someone was willing to take the time to do something like this in graphic art, that would also be amazing, but it takes a willingness to spend a lot of time, and a certain amount of determination to do it right.)
