Snowflake Challenge #6

[kate]

Fans (and human beings in general!) accumulate stuff that reflects our interests. A scavenger hunt is a chance to share some of the things you enjoy with others and let them get to know you better.

When you find an item on the list, post a picture or a description of it or both.


1. A favorite character

I cannot choose between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji so I simply shan't. Grey bunny = Wei Wuxian, White bunny = Lan Wangji.

2. Something that makes you laugh

Little girl (Ripley) has made this pillow fortress for herself and spends her days here while I work at the desk across the way.

3. A bookshelf

We threw our books onto our bookshelves when we moved and haven't organized them. This does contain a zillion new and old fandoms for me and my wife though - BPAL, Good Omens, Supernatural, Star Trek, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and the teddy bear is my wife's when she was small.

4. A game or hobby you enjoy

The only non-fannish hobby I have is music, but I love it a lot and enjoy playing my clarinet.

5. Something you find comforting

Blankets are my favorite. We have at least two per chair, plus others scattered around the house. This one is my favorite, it's huge and soft and I can wrap myself up in it completely.

6. A TV show or movie you hope more people will watch

It's an investment but it's so worth it. The Untamed has so much good stuff.

7. A piece of clothing you love

Socks!!! I couldn't pick a single piece of clothing, so I went for my addiction - socks! I love them. I collect them. I like fuzzy ones for comfort and short ones for going out and about and I have compression socks for traveling and dress socks for work and ... the pink ones on top are bunnies.

8. A thing from an old fandom

Supernatural was something else. My favorite things from it, though, were fandom-based, not canon-based. Gish was amazing and I miss the hell out of it.

9. A thing from a new fandom


My newest fandom (just slightly newer than MDZS) is BJYX, or RPF for The Untamed actors. I've written about it before so I won't go too into it, but. I love these guys so much.

Ah, my wife likes to have her stuff super organized, it's actually her favorite thing to do, organize the bookshelves. So these just aren't organized in any method, really, which is not her fave.

Yeah, I have had zero luck getting anyone into CQL either. I have a friend trying to book because she couldn't get into the show, but honestly I don't hold out hope.

The Gish things are like... yearbooks? The best stuff from they year goes into the books. The year we did it super-seriously, we got two things in the book, I think - including a photo of my mom! :D :D :D I can totally see it being a thing Sherlock would do.

The book might be something my best friend could try, she reads a lot and isn’t all that picky. But IDK if that could convert her. XD

Oh that’s cool with the yearbooks, like, they’re official books from the organisers? What a great idea! :D

Found the Sherlock fic; I remember re-reading it a few times because it was actually really entertaining!

Yeah most of the charm of CQL is in the actors, I think, though the story is pretty great. It's tough to move from books to TV I find, so I don't have much hope for my friend either.

Gish is. Tough to describe. They're a lot more than yearbooks, and it's considered a huge honor to be included and it's voted on by the community... it's a whole thing.

I've written it into SPN and I've seen it other place too - a lot of items in the Gish scavenger hunt are fannish. William Shatner played several years, and other celebs too.
