About this Snowflake challenge stuff.

I want to say this:

I chose to help out because I said I would when asked.

I don't know what all the fuss was about, exactly, and I was not involved in any way at all. I signed up to help out as a commenter. That's the total of my involvement.

I have been in fandom over 25 years and I don't play games. I noticed a couple of people have dropped me on DW. Their loss. Certainly not mine. I certainly haven't taken any sides and I honestly don't know many of the people at the comm.

I think it's fun to do and I do it.

End of story.

Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 2

Challenge #2

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Last year, I did almost nothing in fandom. I meant to but after the pandemic and all my issues during that time, I was like a deer in headlights. Also, Larry had a mini stroke in March and even though it didn't change much, I was rattled to my very bones and that also seemed to paralyze me a bit.

So this year, I would like to write at least 75k words (my GYWO goal) and I'd like to be more involved. That's it. That's all I got.

Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 3

Challenge #3

Create a wish list of fandom things (podfic, graphics, playlists, canon recs translations, research help, vids, sky's the limit!) that you'd like to receive. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I would love these things: a beta reader for my mcu smut, artwork of my fics, comments at Ao3 --- hmm, that's all I can think of.

Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 4

Challenge #4

IceBreaker Challenge! Tell us about yourself. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I'll break the ice with some random questions:
What were you most afraid of when you were younger? Do you still have that fear? Snakes... and I am still terrified of them.

If you had the choice to go back in time or into the future, which would you choose?
Future though there is a line in a Jackson Browne song that sums it all up - And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it seems
It would be easier sometimes to change the past.


What's something that you would be willing to stay up all night to do?
Being a woman of a certain age, that isn't such a big thing. I'd stay up all night to read, to watcha movie, to talk to someone who needed to talk...

Okay, some stuff about me:

- I grew up on a tiny tobacco farm in rural NC and I live a mile from my childhood home.

- I was obsessed with horses when I was a kid.

- I hated to be kissed on the cheek by old ladies when I was small.

- I met my best friend in an elf rpg online. Neither of us had ever played in one before.

- I am old but knew nothing of fandoms until I was in my late 30s and got the internet. I still have never been to a convention.

- The first fanfic I write was from the CATS video fandom in the late 90s.

- I have no tattoos.

- I thought vampires were cool before Anne Rice wrote about them.

- I'm 64 years old... ack when I see it, it looks old.

- I don't like liver.

- I sound like a country bumpkin when I talk. I do, however, have an English degree.

- I've been married since 1980, when I was 20.

I think that'll do it.
