Snowflake Challenge Days 2, 3, 4, 5
I recently started a new part-time job that's going well and taking up more of my time than I expected and I'm preparing for a trip. That's why I'm a little late but I do enjoy snowflake challenge and how it stretches me.
Day 2: 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.
The October Daye series and all of Seanan McGuire's works. She captures figuring yourself out at many ages and what it feels like to be broken and heal. I discovered her when I was in graduate school and Toby's conflicts and troubles felt familiar and provided a connection for me. Her CD Wicked Girls is one of my most listened to because every song touches me. I've met her twice and the way she's found a way to live the life she wants inspires me. The song My Story is Not Done helped me get through one of my hardest endings.
Day 3: In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.
This year, I'm going to move to Boston which is becoming more and more possible every day. I want to live in a place with friends and opportunities.
In terms of fandom, I want to finish up to 3 works in progress that are sitting in my drafts.
Day 4: Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them.
I will do this as I love connecting to new people through this challenge.
Day 5: In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create.
This fic created a new headcanon for me with Miss Marple who's probably one of my favorite characters ever.
