[community profile] snowflake_challenge  - Day 6


In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish.





I'm leaving this blank for now. Not sure about my own wishes.

*goes to check out others' entries*

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





This is an easy and a difficult task for me. Easy because everything I'm reccing I really love, but also difficult, because HOW TO CHOOSE ONLY THREE?
Oh well, I'll try:

1) [personal profile] turlough's knitting is something that I always admire, but her contribution to Bandom Big Bang this year was the best:
Welcome to the Black (Cat) Parade are knitted MCR-kittens! They're so cute and so well done, up to the uniforms, or the eye-makeup, they were one of my highlights of this year's BBB.

2) I must admit I didn't have time to read all [community profile] bandom_holidays entries yet. But I read "Soon The Bells Will Start" by Jiksa and loved it. It's a funny story about misunderstandings around Christmas resulting in - or not resulting in (no spoilers! ;-)) - a threesome.

3) "Front Row Seats" by LadySmutterella, illustrations by johanirae is a great story about animal transformation which I had expected to be fluffy and funny, but after I had read half of it, I had giggled a lot but also teared up a few times already. A very emotional story that I was very impressed with. The illustrations are brilliant as well.

Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them.




I'll try doing so during the next days.

In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.





Most of the goals I set myself for the new year are private. Fannish-wise I'll just wait until inspiration comes its way. Because creating then always gives me the most satisfaction.

In your own space, share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life. Something that impacted on your consciousness in a way that left its mark on your soul.



I really don't know if how I am made me fan of the things I am a fan of, or if being a fan of those things made me the way I am now.

Because this journal is mostly about me and bandom, I want to share a bandom-epos that was one of the first longer fics and AUs that I read when I started reading bandom-fic. I did read it on a jounal (LJ or DW?), but recently looked for a download on AO3, and yay, it's there, too!

"Screaming Down the Starlit Sky", a Vampire-AU by herlovewasajoke and reena_jenkins probably features every bandom-person that existed at that time it was written. And Adam Lambert. I guess that's how I found it, because at that time I had been looking mostly for Adam Lambert-fic.

The series is made of 16 parts and based on the video for A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me" by Fall Out Boy. I didn't know most of the bands or people, didn't know the video, but was captured by the story. After that I looked for more and more bandom-fic. So my life as a reader was changed.

I'm late, but that's what happens when I spend New Years Eve at friends and then time at my parents. I had great fun there but no time for memes. But I don't want to miss this year, so here we go:

[community profile] snowflake_challenge  - Day 1


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.



I always liked to rec fics from the last year, but when I look back at 2016, there are actually only three works that I posted over the last 12 months, starting only in September.

But I do like them, so they will be my recs:

1) 100 Ways To Say “I Love You” (not really 100, actually)
It's a collection of drabbles in the Killjoys-universe (bandom) inspired by 100 prompts. I only used 17 in the end, but I quite like how those drabbles turned out to paint a bigger picture of the Killjoys' lives in the desert.

2) Speaking of pictures - for Bandom Big Bang I created Art for "No Future In Our Dreaming" by Prophetic. I was very inspired by the story and my love for London, so I made some art from photographs I had actually taken myself in London over the years.

3) Last, but definitely not least, I took part in Drabble Day 2016 where I wrote drabbles for 10 different fandoms (The Lord of the Rings, Sherlock, Bandom, Star Wars, Fear the Walking Dead, Please Like Me, My Mad Fat Diary, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Alles was zählt) in 12 hours. That was great fun and an inspiring end to the year.
