zimena: Snooker player Mark Selby (Default)
So, it seems I fell out of doing some of the [community profile] snowflake_challenge prompts, but this one caught my attention. Strangely, I find it quite hard to put what I want to words, but let's try:

Challenge #7

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.


Okay, some wishes:

I would really love some snooker drabbles or fics.

1) Mark Selby/Ronnie O'Sullivan rivals-to-lovers theme.
I just really love them both, and seeing them together would make me happy. Perhaps a bit angsty, with neither wanting to yield to the other. Yet, they also slowly start to realise that they get each other in a way nobody else could.
Happy or hopeful ending, please.

2) Mark Selby/Iulian Boiko, age/experience/power imbalance.
Iulian said in a podcast from 2023 that Mark was his snooker idol growing up. I'd love a dark fic where Mark realises this and chooses to manipulate it to his advantage. Yes, as much as I love Mark, I also love him as the fictional bad guy, sorry (not sorry :)).

Also, icons:

3) Icons with Mark Selby, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Iulian Boiko, or Judd Trump. Those four are my main favourites, in that order. Michael Holt or Wu Yize could be cute, too. Also, Stephen Hendry from when he was younger and had the longer hair would be extra cute. I love artistic icons, text on them, frames, decorations, but please do not make the picture itself unclear.

4) Just to show that I can think about things that aren't snooker, I'd also love icons of things like: the sea at night, the moon, something related to witchcraft or tarot, cats, fantasy-style weapons like swords or daggers, Castlevania-style whips, nice quotes, anything about vampires.
