kate | Like a migratory bird, I return to Dreamwidth for snowflake

It's time, my friends! Lucky sauerkraut goes into the crockpot tonight, I'm writing up end of year summaries, I'm playing Voiceteam Mystery Box, and

snowflake_challenge is about to begin!

If you haven't played before, check it out! It is a lovely place that seeks to appreciate all the lovely things we do in fandom, and also gives us fans a bit of time to appreciate ourselves and what we do! Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Similarly, it's 2024 writing challenge signup time - I will tout the one I'm still doing (

getyourwordsout, which has an amazing spreadsheet and lots of resources and as much or as little interaction as you like), and mention a few of the others that I have participated in that are still active (

inkingitout is a slightly more chill community that I have modded for before, and

zwei_hexen is the landing spot for a group of folks that do a "write every day" challenge, and have been for a few years now).

ETA: ALSO!!! It is time to fill needy trees at

fandomtrees, if you're interested in brightening someone's day, check out this post about how to fill needy trees!
