Hope you're staying warm out there, everyone! The tenth challenge is:


Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been expressing our love of fandom in so many wonderful and different ways. You may be wondering what you can say now that you haven’t said already? But this is fandom, and I don’t know about you, but I can always find something new to talk about. It can be about one fandom in particular or about fandom in general, or about the people you’ve met in your fandoms, a person or a community who’s inspired you. We’ve all had a hard year so share the love :)

In your own space, write a love letter to Fandom in general, to a particular fandom, to a trope, a relationship, a character, creator, episode, or it could be your fandom friends. Share your love and squee as loud as you want to.


Thank you, 30 Rock, for your humor, for your absurdity, and for your portrayal of Liz Lemon - a woman that I know I'm not supposed to relate with or emulate but who was one of my fictional idols as a teenager.

Thank you, BJD community, for opening up to me as a newcomer, for giving me an outlet for my creativity and my love, for giving me a hobby that isn't entirely in front of a screen, and for letting me explore fashion and photography.

Thank you, Dreamwidth subscribers and friends, for listening to me ramble, for engaging with me, for sharing your lives and interests, and for being there to brighten up my day.

Thank you, fandom, for being a place where I can share my creativity, for igniting my love of writing, for introducing me to new ideas, and for giving me somewhere to belong in my darkest days.

Thank you, my fandom friends, for being supportive, for sharing a common interest, and for making me feel less alone.

Thank you, The Simpsons, for being my go-to source of comfort, for shaping my sense of humor, for making laugh and cry, and for rooting yourself in my brain so deep that I'll never be able to dig you out - not that I'd ever want to.

Welcome back! Snowflake Challenge #6 is:


One of my favourite things about fandom is screaming, "Did you see that amazing thing!" to someone and having them scream back at you (hopefully positively) that they have now. Sometimes, it's about the canon itself, but a lot of the time it's about fan works our community has made. In that spirit, today is the day to sing the praises of our fellow fans' hard work and creativity.

In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create.

I don't engage much with fanworks anymore, but here's some recs for various fandoms and media!

Like dark fic? Like Harry Potter? Want to see some time travel shenanigans? Try Sisyphus by esama. I'm sure most people have already read it, but I come back to it now and again.

Want more Harry Potter time travel shenanigans? Try A Question of When by vlad the inhaler. Romilda Vane tries to get Harry's attention - over and over and over again.

Want something lighter, something fun, something that isn't quite a fanwork but a "hatework?" Try Noiseless Chatter/Philip J Reed's ALF retrospective where he slowly devolves into madness over a forgotten 80s show.

Not necessarily a "fanwork" as it is a channel dedicated to a community, but I recommend Muñecas, Poupess, and Dolls' channel where she discusses dolls of all kinds. It's interesting - at least to me! I specifically recommend her "Why are BJDs Expensive?" video.

Another video link - check out Foxcade's Futurama Retrospective | A Turbulent Past if you're a fan of the series. It's a great explanation of the rise, fall, and rebirth of one of the most iconic sci-fi shows ever made.

One last video, I promise. Even if you're not a fan of Persona or Persona 4, check out Hiimdaisy's comic based on the series in video form!

Like The Lord of the Rings? Want to see it through the eyes of a group of D&D players and a worn-out DM? Try out Shamus Young's DM of the Rings webcomic. I especially recommend the rest of his blog as well for video game and programming content.

Finally, I have to give a shout-out to two sites - Ranch Story Blog and Ushi No Tane - for their coverage of the Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, and Story of Seasons games over the years. Ushi No Tane was one of the first sites I remember ever visiting as a kid, and Ranch Story Blog has been around long before their tumblr account. I'd gladly recommend them for gameplay guides, artwork, and interview with the developers!

I think that's all I have for this challenge. Thanks for reading! Feel free to share your fanwork recs in the comments. I'd love to see what people, well, love!
