Day 1
In your own space, talk about why you are doing the Fandom Snowflake Challenge? What drew you to it as a participant? What do you hope to accomplish by doing these challenges?
I've done this challenge for the last few years, and it remains one of my favourites. The challenge encourages me to go out of my comfort zone, to think about and appreciate my fandom and all the fanworks that I, as well as others, create. It also allows me to meet new people from different countries, fandoms and platforms that I would otherwise never meet, and in doing so it reminds me of the kindness and generosity of others, and how important fandom is to me. I've met some wonderful people over the years; friends who I may never meet in person, but whom I hold dear. I continue to do this challenge because it helps me appreciate all of these things, and hopefully to invigorate and expand my fandom experience.
