Snojwflake Challenge - Day 10

Day 10
In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (Or a few!) Tell us what makes it work for you, and why it appeals to you so much. Talk about what you like to see in fanworks featuring that theme most. Feel free to include recs and examples! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I've been writing and reading fanfiction for a long time. I have moved through many things... and am over most all of them. I like humor... in fanfiction and in published fiction. Life is sad and angsty as it is. I do not want to read things that make me cry as well. I like clever repartee and even crazy crack!fic. Make me smile, giggle or laugh out loud and I'll be a happy camper.

Day 11

Star Wars: A New Hope (which was not called A New Hope until many years later). I am one of those old enough to have seen it in the theater in 1977. I was 17 years old. Years later, when I became very ill, Star Wars and the others in the trilogy became my constant companions as I watched them over and over while I was unable to get out. I also read the many novels in what was renamed 'Star Wars Legends' by Disney when it threw out a great body of work for the repetitive things they are now making. While I am glad that the franchise goes on, I am saddened that Disney has turned it into a 'Disney princess' thing.

Snowflake Challenge - Day 12

Day 12

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a podfic, an icon, a sketch, a meta, or a rec list. Arts and crafts. Cross stitch. Draft an essay about a particular medium. Put together a picspam or a fanmix. Write a review of book you love, a ship manifesto, a you-should-be-listening-to-this-band essay. Create something. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

This little story has a story of its own... if that makes sense.
