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!
