Fandom Snowflake Challenge - Day 14 (AND A NEW COMM ANNOUNCEMENT!)

Day 14

In your own space, talk about what you think the future holds for fandom.

Fandom in specific: Hopefully a new social media platform that replicates at least some of the Tumblr experience. I miss tumblr. I'm having a blast on here but it's a very different experience and I want all the gifs and memes in with the rest!

I'd also like to see more importing of old archives into AO3. Losing all the amazing stories on Area 52 was a (ok, admittedly first world) tragedy.

And, drumroll please, for SGA in particular: the future will include a NEW FANWORK CHALLENGE!

popkin16 and I were chatting about our love of movie fusions and, lo, atlantisfilmfestival was born.


A big thank you to seleneheart for making our first banner! This was part of my wish list for the snowflake and it was filled beautifully!

Please head over there to check it out! We're gonna run the challenge from March - June (to let everyone get their Romancing McShep and romancing SGA fills done first). All types of fanworks are welcome, all we ask is that you get your inspiration from the movies. I'm excited to co-run my first comm and I hope that we get some amazing fanworks out of it!

Fandom Snowflake Challenge Day 15

Day 15

Talk about why you participated in Snowflake &/or what you got out of it.

I did Snowflake for the first time last year in an effort to boost my use of this platform and connect with fans on here. It worked, to an extent, but tumblr was my fandom love.

One year later, not so much.

I’m making the move from tumblr to DW as my fandom platform of choice and this round Snowflake has really opened my eyes as to how active fandom is on here and I’ve added half a dozen people to my circle which has been wonderful. I love connecting with people online, it’s one of my happy places so thank you to Snowflake for helping me do that!

Musings on Spirk

There is a significant lack of hurt Spock in the Spirk world and I don’t like it.
