Snowflake Challenge #11

In your own space, create a fanwork. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Fanwork means anything that you, a fan, creates. If you say it’s a fanwork, then it is! But if you want some suggestions, why not see if one of your fav fanworks creators has a transformative works statement? Many people (me included) have them on their profiles, either here on Dreamwidth or on AO3. Then go crazy! Make art, make fic, make a podfic, make a vid, make a cross-stitch pattern. Crochet, knit. Bake a cake! An interpretive dance of how it makes you feel! Anything!
I've been making a bunch of cold reads the last several days, as a response to my own challenge #8 wish and for birthdays and whatnot, but yesterday I made a podfic of silveradept's And the Cartomancy Caper for their challenge #8 wish. The Librarians/Warehouse 13 crossover, gen, podfic is 22:44.

Ongoing snowflake stuff?
So every January, I do snowflake. I love it. It reminds me of why I love fandom, it gives me simple, low-pressure challenges that I look forward to. I don't feel guilty if I miss any. And I always, always get comments from friends saying "oh, it's so good to see you on here again!"
And then I feel a little guilty, too, because I do have a hard time keeping up if I don't have something specifically goading me to post.
So I was thinking... what if there was snowflake stuff every month? Would anyone else be interested in that? I love the snowflake format, so I'd want to at least connect the challenges, if the folks at snowflake wouldn't want to do an expansion there. I mean, snowflake is really special, I get that. And I don't want to diminish it, but I also would like to keep things going in the interim between Januarys.
Any thoughts about this? Anybody willing to jump on the train to do this more often? (Maybe every other month, if not every month? Or quarterly? (since November is Nano and December is December))
Every other month would be March, May, July, September.... and maybe skip November because a) it's NaNo, b) all the holiday challenges etc., c) it would give a little extra break before the original snowflake started up again.
Okay, I could brainstorm all night, but this really was just supposed to be a placeholder for discussion. Let me know what you think?
