[Snowflake] Days 1 & 2
Jan. 2nd, 2018 06:56 pmWhy am I doing Snowflake?
Every year Yuletide reminds me that I like having an online presence in fandom, and every year I try to Snowflake a little to get to know more people. I'm going to try to be really committed to some fandom/writing NYR goals this year, so it dovetails nicely. /waves to everyone new
In your own space, share a favorite memory about fandom
Everything that's ever ended in a collaboration. One of my longest, most important, and most creative friendships came from randomly joining an RP when I was fifteen (?!) I was humbled and elated to co-write with people like Nyx not much later than that - long, long streams of back-and-forth across multiple media types. I've been incredibly lucky to have had work that I've done be transformed into art (D, pere, and of course Crim, who made a whole! doujin! for Executive Reform) and into podfic (Rhea). Fandom has been a consistently generous - if erratic - source of creativity and productivity in my life, and I'd be a much duller "real life" person without it, methinks.
