❄ Snowflake Challenge - Day 4 ❄

In your own space, create a fannish wishlist. No limits on size or type of fanwork; just tell us what you’d like to see. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. And if you grant a wish, do the same thing!✴ When it comes to Marvel and DC I'm into some rare pairings or pairings

More positivity is something I am striving for this year so I'm glad you mentioned it. Fandom can be an unthankful place and more than once i've been on the receiving end of 'demands' from self entitled idiots. And it's so easy to be kind and supportive.

i'm not really a creator of fanworks, whether fic, artwork, videos, whatever. I just dont have the time or talent. But I do try to do my bit as a consumer of such works by leaving comments, compliments and feedback! If I've enjoyed something. I will say so!

We definitely need more positivity in fandom, and you're right, it's super easy to support creators. Ugh, I hate the self-entitlement some people have, I'm sorry you had to deal with their demands. I know I've felt the pressure to update a fic and have been ridiculed for liking an specific pairing before. That's why I feel we need to be kinder. I've seen people stop posting their work because of negative feedback or lack thereof.

Me too! This year I plan on being better at leaving comments, I want to make sure that artists, writers, podfficers, etc, know their work is greatly appreciated :D

No one should ever feel ridiculed for liking a specific pairing... or for liking ANYTHING! It's horrible to ridicule someone over something that makes them happy.

[little_huntress]

Yeah, I was mostly baffled. This person suggested I read up some history books because gay vikings are not a possibility and I was basically deluded for even considering an m/m pairing. Later I found out they had been suspended for targeting writers and fan artists of this particular pairing. I just couldn't believe someone would go out of their way to leave nasty comments, like why even search for a ship you're not even into?

Anyway, it was a strange thing. I'm very pro ship and let ship 😉

Ugh people like that make me sick. I'm glad they were suspended. There are certain pairings within shows I like that don't appeal to me and others that do but I would never tell someone that they couldn't or shouldn't ship a certain pair. It's all bloody fiction and fantasy at the end of the day. Who am I to judge. I just enjoy what I enjoy and let the rest enjoy theirs.

Exactly. Ship and let ship!

[little_huntress]

I just enjoy what I enjoy and let the rest enjoy theirs. Yes! I'm the same. If I don't like a pairing I just don't read it, there's no reason to hate on people because they don't agree with you.
