Snowflake Challenge 2020: Challenge 3
Whew. I've had a whole week of bad fibro flare (I guess Christmas/New Years/Birthday finally caught up with me), so I'm only just getting around to catching up with this. (I know there's no stress abut participating, but I wanted to, and chronic illness keeping me from doing things I want to is damn frustrating). Anyway, been looking forward to doing these, so let's see how much I can catch up today!
Challenge #3
Pimp Your Favorite Communities, Fests or Challenges!
I'm sad to say I don't participate much in either communities or fests/challenges right now. I used to be in a lot of communities but somewhere in my fandom hopping I fell out of the habit and ended up doing most of my fannish interaction on Twitter (I do have a semi-NSFW DM group there with friends from various fandoms, which is my fav fannish hangout at the moment because we're a nice, drama free multi-fannish group). And I just haven't had the mental energy to participate in fests and challenges for the past couple of years.
I do kind of hope to change this in the coming year though, because I think finding some low-pressure challenges might be what I need to get back into regular writing, so there's one community I actively use and want to rec -
fandomcalendar! I feel like most people probably know about it, but in case you don't, it's a super handy way to find things like fests and challenges from any fandom. Even when I amn't actively participating in anything, I use it just to find places to lurk for new fanworks.
I've also been lurking
good_omens_kink quite a bit lately. Mostly in failed attempts to kick-start my muse. I have always like kink memes though, I really need to find active ones for my other current fandoms.
I also like lurking
kink_finders, since I enjoy kinky fanworks and it tends to turn up good ones. (I've asked for recs there once or twice, but it was a few years ago.)
And if anyone reading this is not participating in
snowflake_challenge, I do very much recommend it!
Just making this post reminded me how I really need to get back into checking DW regularly, because I do love comms!
