Day 14 -15 Snowflake Challenge
Day 14
In your own space, talk about what you think the future holds for fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I have no idea. Fandom as I knew it is mostly dead. The loyalty and close friendships seem to be a thing of the past and the tropes and such are so bizarre now that finding a niche is hard sometimes. I guess I have a we'll see attitude right now since the great migration from Tumblr.
Day 15
Talk about why you participated in Snowflake &/or what you got out of it. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I like SC - it's great fun and makes a person think... I notice lots of people seem to be uptight about it - they seem to miss the point all together. It's a fun way to reconnect with fandom with the idea of being involved in even a tiny way. I've met some new peeps most years and hope to this year as well. I plan to do them as long as I can and they continue.

I think LJ was a place where both fic/art and community coexisted. The fic has now moved to Ao3 and the community over to Tumblr or Discord or other platforms. The fragmentation has made it difficult to have that seamless, convenient way of meeting new people over fics or artworks as before. Text as a medium has taken a backseat due to the mobile-first style of interactions.
