Snowflake Challenge - Day 5

Challenge #5


In your own space, tell us about 3 creative/fannish resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom or like many people at the moment, fannishly adrift right now) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1. Fanlore - the go-to place for all fannish definitions with links and examples. Run by the same people wjho brought us Ao3.

2. As a Marvel fandom writer, the Marvel wiki is a great resource for info on all facets of Marvel-dom.

3. As a Tolkien writer, he Tolkien Gateway is a great place to read about that character who you've never heard of before and find out where they came from.

Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


This year has been hard for me, both personally and for my world. I sat here for a while thinking about this question and what I came up with was sort of what I didn't do as well as what I did.

I survived cancer again. This was not my accomplishment, per se, but it was the most important one.

Snowflake Challenge - Day 11

Challenge #11

In your own space, Talk about your favorite trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I don't think I have one favorite. Does anyone?

I was looking through the trop[es at Fanlore... and here goes.

I prefer canon and canon divergent stories. I read in the fandom because I like the fandom. Within that, I like a lot of things but the silliest one I like is one bed OR one bedroom. These can go from the smuttiest smut to sweet and funny, and that's part of what I like about them.

Caught up on Snowflake Challenges!

I am so thankful that I managed to get all the ones I'm behind on done! I do apologize for the many posts today!
