Progress on Frankenstein, Part 3

Hello again, friends and neighbors! I am just speeding through Frankenstein. According to GoodReads, I’m a quarter of the way through already! I really respond to these kinds of stories, I guess.

Wow, this was a long entry. Fun fact! I wrote this all in a Word document instead of directly in the editor for the first time. I kind of like it, kind of don’t, but it does keep me from getting into mischief while at work… sort of. ;) I’m hoping to post my Snowflake Challenge #15 today, but I should be quiet for some of the weekend while I repair Lyra. Long story short, the stuff that kept her eyes in turned to goo somehow and when I removed it, I took out her eyelashes and part of her face paint by accident! I can at the very least give her new eyelashes (which is something I’ve been meaning to practice anyways), but there’s not much I can do about the face paint. C’est la vie (one of my favorite phrases that I’ve just learned to spell). I might put another outfit together too to practice collars—depends on how frustrated I get with putting on lashes. I’d also like to post pictures of these eyes that a friend sent me to test out but that might not get posted until sometime next week.

Have a great weekend, and stay safe out there!

Snowflake Challenge #15

The last challenge this year is:



In your own space, Talk about Your Snowflake Experience.


What did you come into it thinking or wanting? Did you get that? Did you get something else? Did you learn anything new about fandom, others, yourself? Are you glad you did it or thought it a waste of time and energy? You can tell us. We’re all here to learn and grow. What did you learn? How did you grow?

I had a lot of fun with this challenge - my first time participating! I like that it helped me branch out into different types of posts, fandom participation, and interactions with others. It helped me filter and refine my thoughts on a lot of different things - fandom and otherwise. Everyone has been so sweet and, while I didn't comment as much as I should've, I read quite a few challenge posts. It's amazing the variety of fandoms people are into on Dreamwidth! I'm glad I participated and will do so next year, should my interest in this platform continue (always a gamble with me haha).

A big thank you to the organizers of this event, the fellow participants, those of you who have commented on my posts and those of you who've become my mutuals, and all readers of my nonsense. Happy 2021, y'all!

Oh, it’s getting good. Well, uh, better, that is to say. The book's been consistently good.
