Fandom Snowflake Days 11 to 15
Day 11
In your own space, make a list of at least 3 things that you like about yourself. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
1. I write pretty well, if I do say so myself. I've got proper verbs and nounds and whatnots. (Also, plots.)
2. I'm a pretty good artist, not that you'd necessarily know it from this journal.
3. I think my presence in fandom is more positive than negative. I am ~A Force For Good~.
Day 12
What makes you fannish? And by that we mean, what is it about a tv show/movie/book/band/podcast/etc that takes you from, "Yeah, I like that," to "I need MOAR!!!" Is it a character? A plotline? The pretty? Subtext that’s just screaming to be acknowledged?
In your own space, tell us what it is that gets you to cross that line into fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I think what leads to me being fannish is having some sort of fanfiction hook. As much as I love something, if I have no idea what kind of story I could write about it, I'm not fannish. I might read fic, but I wouldn't call myself fannish.
My ideas for fic tend to the close to canon (canon-compliant and canon-divergent both). Some of it is also pretty crack-y, but my mind pretty much never jumps to complete AUs right away.
Day 13
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Last three fics I commented on should do it, yes?
Which reminds me that I need to finish commenting on yuletide fics and do a rec post.
Day 14
In your own space, share your love for something fannish: a trope, cliché, kink, motif, theme, format, or fandom.
Exchanges! I love exchanges a whole lot. (You can tell because I run two:![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
nightonficmountain andhistory_exchange . They'll both be running this year, fyi.)
Sometimes I feel like exchanges are fandom in its purest form: you're creating something for the sole purpose of making someone happy. (If you're familiar with Agent of Asgard, I was a gigantic sap about this all over Lies told by firelight.)
Idk. I just like making people happy.
Day 15
In your own space, talk about what you're taking away from this challenge. Did you learn something? Did you interact with new people? Or did you try out different fandoms or formats or relationships? What's changed between Day 1 and Day 15 of this challenge? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
It reminded me I need to get better at commenting on fic. It's not specifically related to this challenge, but I have to say I hate when people start to tell other people How To Do FandomTM. Just ship and let ship, ffs.

The Story of Finn (25928 words) by LullabyKnell
Chapters: 7/7
Fandom: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Original Characters, Original Female Character(s), Original Male Character(s), Stormtrooper Character(s)
Additional Tags: Finn is the Hero of the Stormtroopers, Stormtrooper Culture, Stormtroopers are people, Storytelling, Rumors, Rebellion, Families of Choice, Spoilers
Summary: The story they hear is that of FN-2187.
He's a defector – a traitor to the First Order. He's not the first, nor will he be the last, and the First Order expects to retrieve him and end him quickly.
But that's not what happens.
The only thing Stormtroopers own are stories.
Outside the Lines (2355 words) by BethCGPhoenix
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Hamilton - Miranda
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton
Additional Tags: Yuletide 2015, Yuletide Treat, Metafiction, Musicals
Summary: Burr’s always been a little creepy, in Thomas’s so-humble opinion. It’s not just because he’d rather answer a song with a smile instead of a rhyme; he’s always got this look on his face like he knows something you don’t, like he’s looking straight past you to a future you. Those times Washington starts going on about history having its eyes on you, while Burr’s back there practically boring holes in his skull? Yeah.
Guess that’s what the Cabinet gets for hanging around with a narrator, though. They’re all like that.
the ultimate test of cerebral fitness (4000 words) by psychomachia
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Chess (Board Game)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Summary: As I lay broken and bleeding on the battlefield, I began to wonder about the meaning of it all. I mean, what are we actually fighting for? Are we always destined to lose in some cosmic game? Why do the sides have to be different colors? Why can't the Biskups just be able to hook up for once without the world ending?
Which reminds me that I need to finish commenting on yuletide fics and do a rec post.
