The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.
I've never really considered myself a particularly "fannish" person, but the more I explore fandom world (or at least the small corners of it I've poked around in), the more inspired I feel, and the more I feel like the part of me that needs to create and connect could find a home here (despite some lingering ambivalence about some of the things I actually create in these spaces). I like the regularity and structure it provides to my creative life, with all the challenges and events and stuff, and I love the exchanges: it's so cool and sweet to me that people put so much effort into making little gifts and treats for each other! I also feel like the more time I spend writing and thinking and "talking" (on here) about stories and characters I like, the stronger my feelings for them/relationships with them become, and I've really enjoyed that process.
I'm hoping that this Snowflake challenge will give me some opportunities to think more deeply about my relationship to my creativity and the things that inspire me. I'm looking forward to reading other people's posts too and reflecting on other people's reflections. :)
Snowflake Challenge 2026 - Day 1

I have an intro post here. (I'm going to have to update it at some point now that I know what I post on here, but it still has the basics).
I want to get used to posting on here more often than my weekly journal posts since this is basically the only place where I post stuff (on Tumblr I mostly just reblog and I'm basically never on Bluesky unless something happens).
I also want to meet new people and this seems like a good way to do that.

Fannish 50: Post 1!
Jan. 1st, 2026 10:25 amsoricelOK so like I said the other day, I'm going to try this Fannish 50 thing by doing a re-read of The Raven Cycle, picking one quote per week (chosen from roughly four chapters of re-reading) to reflect on using these prompts. And I'd love it if anyone else weighed in on any of these quotes, whether or not you've read the books. OK here we go!

Dec. 31st, 2025 01:42 pmpattroseWe are in shock. It’s been in low 80’s and high 70’s for almost two months. Yesterday and today is damp and cloudy with 65°F. It’s finally winter. At least it’s not 20° so there is that. Happy New Year to all of you. The snowflake challenge starts tomorrow. I know I’m excited. Hugs!
ride_4everMy #49 Fannish Fifty links to the #49 Fannish Fifty of my fanpair, verushka70. And how's that for being fairly literal about the pairing thing, matching Fannish Fifty numbers.
For her extensive post about Canadian Tire acquiring Hudson Bay Company's intellectual property -- including the iconic striped blanket design -- and about the partnership between Canadian Tire and the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (the retailer has guaranteed at least $1 million a year to support Oshki Wupoowane -- The Blanket Fund --with the money being used to support grassroots Indigenous organizations and Indigenous cultural, artistic and educational projects) click here.
