 I've totally fallen off the wagon. Keep forgetting to even come onto Dreamwidth.

I've had a lot on (insomnia, anxiety over starting a new job, starting new job which is actually completely fine and not scary, sick cub, trying to write), but I will try to catch up when I can. There are some days I really wanna do ^.^

Leave feedback for a fanwork. Or multiple fanworks. It can be as simple as I liked this to a detailed list of all the things you loved about the fanwork. The key is to leave some sort of feedback.
If you've already left feedback in the course of a previous challenge, it totally counts. But you're free to leave more feedback.
Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!" If you feel so inclined, leave a link to the fanwork you left feedback for so others can check it out.

Okay, so I'm generally quite bad at leaving feedback, because I get nervous that I don't have enough to say to properly convey how much i loved the shit out of something. Plus, I'm hella shy which doesn't help. I usually end up just saying "This is amazing!" or leaving kudos and running away. BUT I'm going to be a brave little toaster and leave as much feedback as possible for the next things I fan things I like.

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So again, this is kind of hard for me to do because I'm not particularly good at reccing my own work. But here goes! All I write is Bandom (though I used to write some very bad X-Files fanfic WITH PEN AND PAPER when I was a teenager. Hopefully that will never see the light of day!).

1. Flying Full Throttle into a Hurricane - Bandom. Pete/Patrick from Fall Out Boy. Very indulgent panty kink PWP

2. A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes - Bandom. Pete/Patrick from Fall Out Boy. Patrick has a dirty dream about Pete that makes him feel weird but that's just the beginning (Not necessarily my best work. I had no beta reader, and at the time I think I just got annoyed at it after losing about half of it and having to rewrite it, and posted it to make it go away. There's a few SPaG errors that I've still to fix, but it's one of my fave stories I've ever written)

3. This is technically two parts of the same story, but Cold to the Touch, Hot on the Inside - Bandom. Pete/ Mikey. the fire alarm goes off in Pete's apartment block and he spots his hot neighbour, Mikey Way while waiting outside for firefighters to take care of the situation. Part two is one of my favourite things I've written.

4. The first cut is the Deepest - Bandom Pete/Mikey. Long after the Summer of Like Pete runs into Mikey and they start up as friends again except that Pete's still in love.

Can't wait to check out everyone's work!

Day 01

In your own space, talk about why you are doing the Fandom Snowflake Challenge? What drew you to it as a participant? What do you hope to accomplish by doing these challenges? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Ok, so I've been in bandom about two years and I've only ever spoken to a handful of people. Despite being older than most (I think. I'm in my 30's, so I sure feel older), I'm hella shy with introducing myself to fellow fandom folk, and I'm stupidly intimidated by people who have been in fandoms since the dawn of time.

So doing a challenge such as this one will hopefully pull me out of my shell a little, maybe get me talking, and stop me from being a fandom hermit.

I've talked myself out of doing other challenges before so this feels like a good place to start :)

PS I've never actually used Dreamwith before so I've no idea what I'm doing...
