Snowflake Challenge 2026 #1: Introducing Myself

"The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it."

Hi there! You can call me Lu (they/them), and I'm participating in [community profile] snowflake_challenge this year! I know I've joined a little late, but I want to try and see how many challenges I can do before the end of January. For those unfamiliar, Snowflake Challenge is a yearly challenge where people answer prompts about themselves and their fandoms. I found out about it last year, but felt it was too late to join. I was reminded of it today, and thought, what the heck, I wanted a reason to post on Dreamwidth more often anyway! So yeah, it seems fun, let's see where this goes.

More fannish information about me: I'm a fanfic writer who occasionally dabbles in other fanwork types, mainly fanart, though not nearly as much anymore. I have trouble committing to projects for long enough to see them finished, so my AO3 page is more than a little bare, but I still consider myself a fic writer. My main media interests right now are object shows and The Living Tombstone, two fandoms that...don't really have much presence on Dreamwidth. Ah well! Hopefully you still find my posts interesting, even if you aren't familiar with the media being discussed. (And if you are familiar with one of these fandoms [especially TLT], let's chat!)

You might like other events such as [community profile] marchmetamatterschallenge, Three Weeks for Dreamwidth (April 25-May 15), or [community profile] sunshine_revival.

Some communities here specialize in shorter works. Drabbles are especially popular.

>>My main media interests right now are object shows and The Living Tombstone, two fandoms that...don't really have much presence on Dreamwidth. <<

Some recommendation communities and prompt communities let folks volunteer to host a topic. [community profile] tv_talk is all-purpose, where folks share whatever they're currently watching.

Yay!

>> Do you know where can I learn more about Three Weeks for Dreamwidth? <<

Here is my introductory post from last year.

I'm also a late participant (just posted my intro 🙃), so I felt a connection there. I can also relate immenseley to the struggle of actually finishing projects.
