Fandom Snowflake Day 5

[kate]

In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.

Well, obviously snowflake_challenge is my first. Because it's a 15 day love fest for fans and fandom, and the mood is just so overhwhelmingly positive, it is honestly one of the things I look forward to most as I start a new year.

Speaking of fests/comms around this time of year, fandom_stocking is another one of my faves. I just love being able to look through people's requests and finding things where I can leave presents. Fun to write a stocking (unfortunately too late for that this year), and fun to fill other people's stockings.

I'm just going to list all the fave comms and fests I can think of, dreamwidth edition:

intoabar is a DELIGHTFUL crossover challenge that I've always adored.

amplificathon is a podfic challenge which I have a hard time figuring out the points for, but which results in much awesome podfic.

festivids is a vid exchange that is AMAZING and always has great vids and will go live soon, here.

chocolateboxcomm is a lovely gift exchange for short fics and art and things and sign-ups are still live for another couple days.

fan_flashworks is a wonderful fandom flashworks prompt community for all your writing prompt needs.

seasonofkink is a kink prompt community that took up where kink_bingo took off.

awesomeers is a comm that challenges you to appreciate yourself by listing one thing you accomplished every day.

fancake is for awesome fic recs in a variety of fandoms.

thedailywriter is a comm that helps develop a daily writing habit, if that is something you wish to do.

weekendwritingmarathon is a what it says on the tin - a weekend writing challenge.

Festivids is like, the only time I watch fanvids, haha. It's just not something I normally seek out, but I always have a lot of fun going through the participants' output every year.

I watch fanvids all the time, but festivids is so great because there's a) so much stuff all in one place and b) SO MANY FANDOMS. It is delightful. :D

You've managed to cover most of the fanworks bases here - awesome! I am definitely going to be running off with some links from your well-rounded list. Thank you for sharing. :D

Excellent, glad to oblige! I like to provide wide recommendations.

DW informs me "seasonsofkink" isn't registered, but I figured out you meant "seasonofkink", which is exciting because I didn't know there was a kink comm out there filling the kink_bingo void!

[kate]

Thank you! I should've realized that when it didn't come up with the community symbol. Fixed now!

I was pretty excited when seasonofkink came online - I loved kink_bingo like nobody's business.

kink_bingo is responsible for so many of my SGA fics and fic ideas--actually, I still have kink_bingo stories I'm trying to finish. So in a way, it's like it never really ended...

[kate]

No kidding, me too! I still have all my kink bingo cards tucked away!

[runpunkrun]

Me too!

You are so welcome! There needs to be so much more podfic in the world.
