Snowflake Challenge - Day 15

Day 15

Your top 5 fandoms for 2023 were: I was really only active in the Supernatural fandom, although I did do some fan art for the Boys, so I guess that could count as ‘dabbling’ in that fandom!

Your top 5 fandom spaces (Discord, Twitter, etc.) in 2023 were: Livejournal, Dreamwidth, Fanfiction.net, Ao3 and Deviantart.

The top 5 things you did to contribute to fandom in 2023 were: Wrote fic, took part in Summergen challenge, drew fan art, co-modded a weekly drabble challenge on Fanfiction.net and attended conventions/socialised with other fans

Your top 5 most appreciated fandom contributions were: Hmmm… not sure about five, but I can nominate two.  I like to draw pastel portraits of show characters and get them signed at conventions by the actors.  Two of the actors liked their pictures so much they photographed them and later posted them on their social media, so I’ll say they were my most appreciated! 

Bonus questions:

Your fandom personality in 2023 was:  wistful and nostalgic.  Still enjoying fandom, my lovely friends made through it and the conventions, but missing the halcyon days of Supernatural’s peak when fandom was all consuming, and I had so much fan fic inspiration I had steam coming out of my keyboard!

In 2023, you discovered: Macular holes.  They’re not fun – I had one and it could have cost me the eyesight in my right eye.  Thankfully surgery fixed the problem before anything seriously un-nice happened!

Your fandom home in 2023 was: I would say my fandom home is still Livejournal, but it’s sad to see it so quiet these days.
