The Fandom Snowflake Challenge

Introduction Post * Meet the Mods Post * Challenge #1 * Challenge #2 * Challenge #3

Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time, or go back and do challenges you've missed.



I always find this challenge difficult, because I'm one of those people who doesn't like to just ask for things without offering something in return. However, if you're like me, then you can go browse other people's posts, and manifest some reciprocity. Or! You can post your list like a normal person who doesn't have so many darn hang ups.

Challenge #4

In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.



A general guideline might be a list of three things, or one to ten things, but it can really be any number or length you want.

Your wish list items can be anything: a request for fanworks (art of your original character, podfic of your favourite story, a mood board of your AU idea, fic based on your art, someone to adopt that darn plotbunny), or for a some help with a project (cheerleader, beta reader, accountability buddy, someone to co-mod a challenge), or maybe you want recs for new canons or fic with just the right trope, or specific information about that one area you're having trouble researching.

(Note: If you would like artwork or podfic, please include a link to your story/podfic/fanmix. If you've requested podfic for someone else's work, ditto, and also make sure they've posted a permission statement. If you’ve requested icons or other artwork it’s helpful if you can link to screencaps or image galleries.)

For me, the most fun part of this challenge is looking at everyone else's lists and seeing the variety of fandoms, desires, projects on the go and things you might be able to help with. If you end up granting someone's wish, consider posting a link here, and maybe add it to our AO3 collection.



Check out the comments for all the awesome participants of the challenge and visit their journals/challenge responses to comment on their posts and cheer them on.

And just as a reminder: this is a low pressure, fun challenge. If you aren't comfortable doing a particular challenge, then don't. We aren't keeping track of who does what.
