Sunshine 2019: Prompt 4

This prompt may seem pretty self-explanatory, and it may well be, but please consider the following when collecting fanworks to share with us all:

1. Fanworks in this context can mean anything a fan has spent time creating for their beloved fandoms (.gifs and amv’s and cosplay and that tile you painted in your apartment bathroom to look like that fannish thing … don’t let traditional views of what constitutes a fanwork limit you here).

2. You do not need to be a content creator to share fanworks. I’ve seen it mentioned in various places that some people don’t feel as much a part of fandom as those who create content, but fandom exists for ALL fans. Many of us are here to enjoy and spread love and this is your time to shine. We want to see what you’ve found over the years!

3. That said, if you are a creator, then also consider taking this opportunity to self-promote. It can feel awkward for many of us to share our own fanworks and shine lights on them, and if you are one of those folks, please consider this your nudge to step on the podium and be proud of the works you’ve labored over.

My fandom consumption is mainly fanfic, so here are some of my perpetual favourites.

( Blackadder )

( Blazing Saddles )

( Deadwood )

( Doctor Who )

( Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell )

( The Mummy )

Self-promoting is pretty scary, but at the same time, there are stories I’m proud over, for one reason or the other. So here are a couple of stories I was unusually satisfied with when I finished them. On the whole, I think I’m much better at writing emotions than plotting, which is why most of my fics are fairly short.

( The Borgias )

( Doctor Who )

( Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell )

( Penny Dreadful )
