Snowflake Challenge 2025 - Day 1

 Challenge #1

Update your fandom information. 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’m so thrilled that Snowflake Challenge is back!  New year can sometimes be such a dour time.  It’s a time of horrible weather and long nights, made even more bleak because we’re all coming back down to earth after the festive season.  The Snowflake always gives me such a great little positivity boost in that dreary time.

So fandom-wise, I'm still active in the Supernatural fandom although my participation has, in some ways, dried up.  I say, in some ways, because although my fanfic muse has been mostly AWOL for a few years now, and because the two LJ communities that I used to manage have been retired, my participation In digital art has pretty much stopped, I’m still churning out a fair amount of traditional fan art, and seem to be going to more conventions than ever before!

I am eternally grateful that although the fandom may have diminished, the friendships I made through it haven’t; they only seem to have grown stronger!

Anyway, in terms of fandom information, mine is mostly the same:

All of my fan fiction can be found at Fanfiction.net and AO3

All of my fan art, both digital and traditional can be found at Deviantart

My current fandom home is still Livejournal with a back-up account at Dreamwidth.

I used to have a Twitter account which was mostly based in fannish stuff, but I deleted my account a few weeks ago for reasons which I’m sure need no explanation. I have walked away from that hellscape and into the much fresher Blue Sky world where I am thoroughly enjoying giving my fanworks another airing!

Happy new year everyone!

Welcome to Snowflake 2025. We hope it will be another month full of fandom love and fun, helping you (and everyone else participating) through the cold and dark January.

Welcome to the Snowflake Challenge! I agree, it can be a great way to re-spark positivity when badly needed, especially towards fannish things and community activities. Also, I took a look at your DA gallery and WOW! Your art is amazing!

Ah, thank you - so glad you enjoyed my art :)
Glad to meet you!

Hi there!
Lovely to catch up with you over here too!

[ghostpuppet]

Absolutely Dizzo... are you on here more or on LJ??

[dizzojay]

I'm primarily on Livejournal, although I do manually duplicate all my posts over here because I'm still a bit suspicious that Lj might vanish one day. But for Snowflake challenge, this is my primary journal, and I duplicate across at Lj.
