Not a reading Wednesday post

I forgot it was Wednesday until about 10 minutes ago. (Today's been weird. Not so much "my time perception is fucked" weird as "this is utterly unexpected, but fine, I'll deal with it" weird.)

Have some Fandom Snowflake instead.

Day 03

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I never know how to pick with these, so have three fics chosen almost at random.

Twelve Days of Mad Science (6456 words) by sevenofspade

Fandom: X-Club (Comics)
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

The title of this one if thematically relevant to today's date.

Lies told by firelight (1533 words) by sevenofspade
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Loki: Agent of Asgard
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Loki (Agent of Asgard), Verity Willis
Additional Tags: Post-Canon
Summary: As it turned out, what Loki had meant when he'd said "I need a break. So... Let's skip ahead a bit" was "Let's do yuletide".
As it turned out, what "Let's do yuletide" meant was "Let's spend the end of the world telling stories about stories".

This one's the most recent fic on my Ao3.

The Oracles on the Delphi Express (10154 words) by sevenofspade
Chapters: 5/5
Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types

Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Annabeth Chase, Luke Castellan, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, Silena Beauregard, Thalia Grace
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, roadtrip
Summary: Annabeth says "yes" where she might once have said "no" and goes on a road trip with Luke. Things go downhill from there.

And this one's the longest.


Day 4

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. Arts and crafts. Draft a critical essay about a particular media. Put together a picspam or a fanmix. Write a review of a Broadway show, a movie, a concert, a poetry reading, a museum trip, a you-should-be-listening-to-this-band essay. Compose some limericks, haikus, free-form poetry, 5-word stories. Document a particular bit of real person canon. Take some pictures. Draw a stick-figure comic. Create something. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I'm gonna steal a page from egelantier's book: "when in doubt, commentfic!" So leave me a prompt in any fandom, including ones I don't know and I will write you a thing. A probably hilariously wrong thing if I'm writing by osmosis.

Day 5

Leave feedback for a fanwork. Or multiple fanworks. It can be as simple as I liked this to a detailed list of all the things you loved about the fanwork. The key is to leave some sort of feedback.

If you've already left feedback in the course of a previous challenge, it totally counts. But you're free to leave more feedback.

Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!" If you feel so inclined, leave a link to the fanwork you left feedback for so others can check it out.

I commented on a bunch of yuletide fic earlier in the week, but there's still fic I need to get back to. THAT SAID. I am setting a goal for myself to comment on at least a fic a week and post about in this journal so I can be held accountable.


Out of curiosity, where does everyone get their end of year memes? Link me to the ones you did.
