I'm so delighted Snowflake challenge is back!

So fandom-wise, I'm still active in the Supernatural fandom although my participation has dropped off a little. That's mainly as a result of Covid wiping out two years worth of conventions, plus the general fandom participation dwindling, which means reduced readership, less challenges being run etc. This year I reluctantly closed down spn_bigpretzel community, which had been running ten years, due to lack of engagement. I’m still writing some Supernatural fanfic, although it’s not flowing so freely now, and I'm still doing a fair bit of Supernatural fan art. Despite all that Dean Winchester still is, and always will be, the fictional love of my life!

I think some of the toxicity that has crept into the Supernatural fandom since the series end has soured the experience a little for me, but I am trying to distance myself from that sort of nonsense so that I can continue to enjoy my fandom experience.

I have been following Jared and Jensen in all their new projects, and although Walker unfortunately hasn't captured my imagination, I absolutely adored Soldier boy and the Boys. I went to a Boys convention in April and am booked into another one this year. I’ve also done a bit of Boys fan art. I don’t however, see myself as being active in the Boys fandom, not yet at least.

My fanfiction is all housed at Fanfiction.net and AO3.

My current fandom home is still Livejournal with a back-up account at Dreamwidth, so come visit, everyone's welcome :)
