A day behind so here's Day 1 and Day 2 combined

Fandom Snowflake Challenge banner

Day 1 - In your own space, talk about why you are doing the Fandom Snowflake Challenge?

Simples. I'm a lemming for challenges! Show me a challenge cliff and I'm most likely jump off it... A couple of LJ friends were enthusing about this one, and when I had a quick look it didn't appear too onerous. So here I am, testing the snow.

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.

Mmmm. Just after Christmas, isn't it a little bit rude to be asking for more presents? LOL. Ok, this is quite hard, but I think I've got three.

I'd love:


  1. some more comments on a few fics not many people read - or at least, not any commented on! Specifically Beautiful Neighbourhood and All American Boy

  2. any art for any fic I've written.

  3. a story for any art I've done that doesn't have words to go with it.

*hugs* I love your third wish, I really do, because there is a piece of your art that made me want to write, but I have been too... nervous to ask you if I could write a story for it.

I seriously love this art, though the story I want to write won't completely mesh with it, it will fit it.

Really? That's awesome! I love reverse banging!
And you saying you hadn't liked to ask makes me realise one of the other person's wish on the Snowflake is something perhaps I should to - give blanket permission for people to do stuff! Honestly I never thought a) anyone would want to, and b) anyone would be bothered about asking if they did want to.

I seem a bit loud and out there, but when it comes to approaching someone who's art/story I like, I freeze up. I mean, I nearly fainted when Alycat left me a kudos; and your art, hun it is so beautiful, I can only hope my words can do it justice.

Oh you and your insecurities - you know we all share those, don't you? And it's so very flattering if someone is inspired to create something off the back of one of our own creations... to be honest, that is one reason I find it hard to understand a writer like Diana Gabaldon who rails against fanfic like it was something terrible and a crime worse than murder.

I know, doesn't lessen them.

I wonder how bald writer such as Anne Rice and Diana Gabaldon would be after spending a day with Steven Brust. I love that man, he calls his Dragaera Series fan fiction. Because he loved the world and loved writing it so much he had to keep visiting. (That was one of his interviews, honest.)

It must be hard work finding people to art for you when you are SUCH a fabulous artist yourself, but I am so going to give it a try! :) ♥

Was thinking the same thing! I have even dreamt I was was arting for you, and it scared the shit out of me, because you are such a great artist. But I know you are a kind lady ( :-) ) and you would be nice to me if I did. :-)

I am going to go with the fact you're talking about Amber here, right, lol. X

Hehe, yeah, I was. :-)

But. But YOUSE are ALL awesome artists! I'm just bumbling alongside y'all, trying to get better, you know? This fandom is blessed with so much talent and such a variety of styles it's ridiculous.

So yeah, I'd be over the moon to get art from anyone of you, anytime.

Like I was just saying to Milly, I'm really loving everyone's responses to this challenge and I'm looking forward to reading what y'all have to say! One of these years I'll be able to actually participate in the Days and everyone's Day 2s. One of these years!

Prelims (as usual)! XP I'm trying to have as few other obligations as possible, no matter how small, because they are distressing. D:

Oh, me me me! I want to do #2! I actually have a little list of people I wanna make art for this year for various reasons, and you just happen to be on it! I looked at your master fic list a little while ago and couldn't decide which to do, so this is the perfect chance for you to weigh in and help me out. :D WHICH ONE?

OMG, really? Eeeeeee!

oh I don't know... it depends what you fancy doing really. Flight of the Condor might be fun, but that's a J2; or if you prefer SPN maybe Breaking the Laws of Thermodynamics which has a few old SPN characters to play with; or in you fancied an Impala fic there's Let me take you there...

I'd be thrilled whatever!

REALLY REALLY. You've been so awesome to me since I've met you, so I just really wanna do something random and fun for you.

HOW TO CHOOSE?? Your Breaking the Laws of Thermodynamics link doesn't work, but I'm honestly happy doing whatever. I do love my mecha and precise lines, tho, haha, so I'm kinda leaning toward the Impala one. Maybe? Just at a glance. I'm gonna need to dig into these more thoroughly and I'll email you later on. <3

Try this one - to AO3

The 2 SPN stories are shorter, if that helps :D

I think my fave pic of yours ever is that one you did of Dean with wings on the bonnet of the Impala in the rain... *happy sigh*

\o/ I'm so happy to see you take part! And yes, some of the days will be challenge, but good for you for pushing into the awkward territory of day 2!!!
