Snowflake Challenge
Well, I'm way behind on my Snowflake Challenges because I haven't been on my computer in over a week! So it's time for a little catch up.
Challenge #5 In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do.
I really wish I have the talent and energy to write the AU version of Stargate that's been bouncing around in my head for a few years. It covers at least the first 8 seasons, gives different background stories and relationships for most of the main characters, and adds in some original characters.

Challenge #6 In your own space, Create something.
Well, I was going to pass on this one, since my Muse has been missing in action. But then I decided instead of trying to write something, I'd make some icons. I used to make icons on a regular basis, and I miss doing them. I haven't made and posted icons in so long. I'm really rusty, so I just made some text icons. I actually posted them at my icon comm
color_piratesin THIS POST. Maybe this will get me started in posting icons again. :)

Challenge #7 In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!)
The first resource is Gateworld. They have just about anything one could need for Stargate research. The omnipedia available on that site is fantastic. And they post up to date news about the actors and producers as well. It's a great site, and pretty much my one-stop shop for all things Stargate.
For X-Files, I head to The X-Files Transcripts Archive which has transcripts of all the episodes, including the 2 newer seasons. Or The X-Files Wiki.
However, to be perfectly honest, these aren't the most used sites for me. I also use sites like This quick name generator, because I'm terrible at making up names; or FBI.gov because I don't know where they actually have full offices vs. satellite offices; or Murderpedia to read up on murders when I'm trying to write a casefic. ;)
~~~
Challenge #8 In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, a gift of your time to the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.
I'm really not sure what to put here. I signed up for a round of bingo last year, but I didn't complete it. On the plus side though, I did write 3 new fics from that bingo round.
I got extremely sick last year and was hauled off to the hospital in an ambulance. It wasn't COVID. I've managed to avoid that so far. But I was very ill and in the hospital for a week, and then the rehab/nursing home for another week because I'd been too weak to move around on my own. It took a lot hard work with the physical therapists to get up on my feet again, but I did it. So I guess I'll go with that as my personal win for last year.

Challenge #10
In your own space, rec a fanwork (fic, art, vid, playlist, anything!) you did not create.
This one is so easy! Whispered Promises and it's sequel Coming Apart At The Seams by Pink Rabbit Productions has some of the best writing and characterizations I've read anywhere of Sam and Janet, but especially of Janet. I can't count how many times I've read these fics. I've downloaded them onto my Kindle so I can play them whenever I'm in the mood. This series will always be a favorite of mine!
