Snowflake Challenge - Day 2
Today is Day 2 of the Snowflake Challenge.
Day 2
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. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.
I've spend about 18 hours pondering this challenge, and I'm realizing what I want most is information from other people about how they do things, what works for them, and what things they like. All of my questions are about things that play a very real role in my fannish life, even though they aren't requests for works. Also, I feel like most of these questions are dumb/self-explanatory, so in that way, they fit the "but were afraid to ask" criteria.
Things I like are comments and data points. By comments, I mean the quick, easy answer you might type here! By "data points," I mean your own singular example of how you do something, or what you liked, or what worked for you. There is no expectation that it be universal, or work for me, or even be relatable for anyone else--it only needs to be just what it is: one data point in a wider field. If you can answer any of the questions below, you'd be granting two wishes in one shot, and that would make me very happy.
Here are my questions:
1. How do you listen to podfic? | It may sound like a dumb question, but I am a person who is defeated easily by the logistics of life, and the fact that my laptop volume doesn't go very high means that I can't often figure out when or how to make listening to podfic convenient/workable for me. How/when/using what tools do you do it? I would love to know, so I can find a way to do it more consistently.
2. How did you customize your Dreamwidth journal so you like how it looks? | One of my biggest turn-offs since I tried to switch to DW is that I haven't spent the time to change up how it looks so I like it. Hence, I don't like checking my journal, hence it's another logistical barrier between me and fandom.
3. What's your favorite fanwork (fic or otherwise) in bandom? | I'm not well read in [anything, really, but also in] bandom, so odds are I haven't read what you might rec, and also I love knowing people's favorites. Knowing what someone likes tells me about them too. Someone on Twitter was saying that the best thing is reading good fanfic, and the worst thing is finding good fanfic to read. So.
