Snowflake Challenge 2018 - Day 11

Day 11: Share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it.

Only this week I saw reports about the first openly gay figure skater taking part in the Olympics, Adam Rippon. Of course years ago I knew another openly gay figure skater who did it all before: Roman Wild. He was one of the two main characters of my first fandom "Alles Was Zählt". Check out my tag on DW or AO3 if you're interested.

For my Day 9 of the Snowflake-Challenge I uploaded a AWZ / Doctor Who crossover photo-comic to AO3.

What I loved about this fandom was mostly the international community, first on YouTube (where the EKP (Eskimo Kiss Project) cut the best scenes from every episode and subtitled them so that non-German speaking folk could enjoy them as well), then on InsaneJournal. I feel still close to a lot of the people who were involved, even though we've moved in different fandom-directions. But we still share the same humour that made being an AWZ-fan so great. Unfortunately the TV-company didn't like their show to be shared on YT (long story) any more, so all the fanvids that my fandom-friends made were disabled, too. I found some, but what I really loved about the fandom, the humour, loving-mockery and non-too-sappy enjoyment is gone.

This fandom changed me from pure lurker to participant, gave me insight into social networking in so many ways and made me enjoy crack and smut. Often at the same time.

I will link to a couple of videos, even though they were made long after the "real EKP-fandom" was gone (The first two definitely).

1) this did make me smile and feel a bit sad because I miss this happiness. And yes, they did kiss a lot (and still not enough)




2) The second video was supposed to prove that the show WAS about figure-skaters, because in the first video that was coming a bit short. But - well, have more kissing and a slightly too sappy song. But... the kissing...




3) ICE-SKATING!!!!




Oh memories!

Snowflake Challenge 2016 - Day 3

[community profile] snowflake_challenge  -  Day 3

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it.

We create stuff because we love doing it, so getting to talk about what we've done and why we love it - how great is that? It doesn't have to be your most popular fanwork, or the one you think is the best representation of what you do. It can be something you did today, or decades ago, whatever you created that you want to share. And remember, we're open to any and all kinds of fanworks. Fic, podfic, knitting, meta, a rec list, fanmix... the list is pretty much endless. If you think it qualifies, then it totally does. End of story :)


1) Icons and Artwork for the Bandom Holiday Exchange 2015
My most recent work. I'm very happy that the recipient liked what I created.

2) Poison Pink
Art and ficlet for a [community profile] bandom_meme  prompt.

3) Oh, Tom
Words for the little known fandom "Alles Was Zählt" which I mentioned in another entry. No knowledge of the fandom is necessary to read this, mostly because I finished an old draft and have no idea myself what exactly this was about. But I liked the sentiment, so I put it on AO3.

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.


1)  Artwork and icons
Today also is the reveal of the creators for the [community profile] bandom_holidays fanwork exchange, so I can link to what I created for this challenge:

Artwork and Icons for were_duck

I had written some Killjoys Haikus before and was inspired by them to make the artwork and add two more haikus just for were_duck.


2)  Drabbles
I seem to have the best ideas but cannot write long storylines for them. That's why I like drabbles so much. They're only 100 words, not too many possibilities for grammar-mistakes, but they still tell a story. That's what I try to accomplish.
I found out about this through two Drabble Days, organized by dear friends. Those challenges were great fun and I'm still happy about what I created:

My Drabble Days


3)  Fic
I have written longer pieces. If "longer" means about 1000 words. One fic, actually.
It's for the first fandom I actually participated in, "Alles Was Zählt", a German soap with a gay storyline.
It's revealing or defining as it's explicit and about a threesome, and I like explicit fics about threesomes.

Wait
