The Snowflake Challenge; Day 4 & 5

Day 4

Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterward, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"

The Snowflake Challenge is always a good kick in the butt for me to actually read all the fanfics I have marked for later. So I have read a few and commented on them, and I plan to read a few more.

Day 5

In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I love fashion history and I love movies and TV shows set in historical times. But a costume may not always be a faithful interpretation of what fashion actually looked like during a historical period. (Reign, I’m looking at you.) FROCK FLICKS is a great blog for reviews over historical pieces, and everything you want to know (or not know) about how well they do the costumes. It’s also very funny.

An in case you are curious of how a certain fashion actually look like, MARQUISE is a good place to start. It covers all periods of history and was one of the first websites ever about fashion history.

There are still a few hours to sign up for THE CHOCOLATE BOX. Create a fanfiction with a minimum of 300 words/a piece of fanart for this multi-fandom exchange. It’s very low pressure and a lot of fun.

The Snowflake Challenge; Day 6 & 7

Day 6

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

As for so many others I love to recieve comments on my fanfic. They can be found HERE.

And as I realise there are a lot of links produced for this challenge, here are the fandom I have written in so you don’t have to click in vain for something you are not interested in: Doctor Who, bot Classic and New, Peter Pan, Harry Potter, Versailles, Penny Dreadful, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, The Historian (also suitable for fans of Dracula in general), Sleepy Hollow (the movie), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Mummy, Victoria, Pirates of the Caribbean, Agent Carter, Labyrinth, Emily of New Moon, Ivanhoe, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, The Borgias, The Man in the High Castle, Angel, and one original ghost story.

2. Fanart of something I have written would be lovely.

3. Go and brighten someone else's day with a comment on their fanfic.

Day 7

Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or check out some fanworks that are new to you. (The recs from Day 2 might be a good place to start.) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I’m going to make a point to find a few new fandoms to read and comment on today.
