Snowflake Challenge #4
In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you.
Ah, there's already so many good things out there, though! There's![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
holiday_wishes (my wishlist here), fandomtrees (my tree here), and I'm sure a bunch more that I don't even know about! If you are looking for stuff to make specifically for me (oh, you absolute sweetheart, you), here are my dear creator letters tag and make this for me! tag.
I love writing and I write every day, and I love writing support communities. If you do any of these things, there is a comm for you!getyourwordsout is a serious comm with lots of support, frequent posting, and monthly checkins (and an amazing tracker spreadsheet!). inkingitout has weekly checkins but is generally more chill. They don't kick you out if you don't make check-ins, and the bar for entry used to be lower, but I think GYWO has now created a much broader range of goals (including habit pledges instead of word pledges). thedailywriter is a daily checkin community (though I think you can do it weekly though?) if you're looking for more concentrated accountability. There are plenty of those, so I'm not in need of more.
There are lots and lots of prompt and fandom specific communities, here or elsewhere, and I'd say I'd like a smallish MDZS writer's discord with a lot of activity but I'm already in several and don't participate in them (no time, and it's a bit scary), so I'm not going to ask for more that I won't participate in.
And then there'ssnowflake_challenge, which is honestly the reason I come back to dreamwidth every January and post stuff! And its sister community, sunshine_challenge, which I help mod for!
So I think I'm covered, really? The only wish I could have, which I wish for every year, is for writers (and any creator, really) to add a fanworks permission statement to their profile. It doesn't have to be blanket! You can say "hey, I am good with art and podfic, but not translation" or "no transformative works pls" or "go for it, it's all good" but something! It is so nice to be able to look at someone's profile and know if they are good for a podfic or not. And with my spur of the moment cold reading habits, if someone doesn't have a permission statement, I'm unlikely to go ask for permission, I'll just skip it and go one to someone else.
