Snowflake Challenge days 2-4

To no-one's surprise, I have fallen behind in [community profile] snowflake_challenge ! No matter! Onwards! 

Day 2

In your own space, share a favorite memory about fandom: the first time you got into fandom, the last time a fanwork touched your heart, crazy times with fellow fans (whether on-line or off-line), a lovely comment you’ve received or have left for someone.

How to choose one?

The first thing that comes to mind is the few nights when I actually managed to get myself into the white collar writers chatroom at the right time and participate in the first wave of episode rewatches. It was so much fun to chat with everyone, to squee over Neal together, to feel like I was watching with a big group of friends even though I was alone at my laptop at 2am on a different continent. <3

Day 3

In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create.

Have some glorious fanvids!

Community: Time to Begin by atsp88: A full-cast video chock-full of delightful moments from the first few seasons. Joyful, spoiler-free fun that makes me want to see the whole show again.

Lost Girl: Kenzi, "your life was my life's best part" by CatAtak12: Gorgeous, heart-rending video showing Kenzi's strength, and the way she impacts all those around her. Spoilers to the end of season 4. 

Selfie: Henry & Eliza: "I've grown accustomed to your face" by mblaqminoz: Adorable Henry and Eliza hijincks to Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake. Spoiler-free and super cute.

oh and I was going to stick with three, but youtube automatically continued to one of my other fave Selfie vids, Henry/Eliza: The Story of My Life, by imperialimpala, so have a rec for that one too! Stunning colouring and editing; heavy on the bittersweetness. Spoilers

Day 4

In your own space, create a fannish wishlist. No limits on size or type of fanwork; just tell us what you’d like to see.

Well I pretty much have a wishlist over at my fandomstocking :)

But here's some other stuff: 

I really want to see people coming back and posting more on DW/LJ. More fic, art, picspams, icons, whatever - I want to see it! I miss all the people who used to be around. I know that the fandoms we shared - Torchwood, White Collar, etc - are no longer current, but I still love them and if you have anything you'd like to share, I'll be there for it!

I really want more people to join me in my current obsessions :D So if you fancy checking out a new-to-you show, why not make it Lucifer, How To Get Away With Murder, Lost Girl, Riverdale, Miranda, Community or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, then come back and squee or make fanworks about it <3 Or, if you have a show you want more of your f-list to get into, let me know and I'll try and check it out!

And um, of course, I always want kink fic. I always want spanking and discipline fic. Forever and ever. I've been lucky with White Collar, because there's a great amount of it, and Lucifer seems to be attracting some as well. But some of my fandoms - the ones mentioned above particularly - seem to have little to no fic on the subject, and I NEED IT SRSLY. So if you ever feel like writing some for any of the fandoms or characters I love, then, I will be super happy <3

I feel the same way. I miss the fandoms but I really miss the people even more.

YAY! You're continuing!



I'm bummed that I never got into the chat room while they were doing rewatches. But one of my first memories of White Collar as a fandom thing that I did with other people was at a Peter/Neal community were everyone watched the episodes together as they aired. It was fun losing our shit or flailing together--if you ignored the character bashing of certain characters.

Ohhhh, checking out those Selfie vids! I wish that show ould have lasted longer. :(

Well, you know I'm here for all your Miranda needs--and no, I am NOT now thinking of how I could possibly write a Miranda/Gary spanking fic. ;)
