Snowflake Challenge: Day 10

Challenge #10

In your own space, talk about one of your fandom firsts. This could be your first fandom, your first fandom friend, the first fanwork you created, the first fanwork you interacted with... The options are endless!

Why not talk about all of those?

First fandom: In terms of the first media that I later made transformative works for, this would have to be The Lord of the Rings, which mon pere gave to me to read when I was still in single digits, although more than a decade would pass before I wrote anything for it.

The Vampire Chronicles was first fandom that I wrote transformative works for alongside other fans, and The X-Files was the first fandom that I participated in online.

First fandom friend: Or more accurately, friends, because there were four of us writing that Vampire Chronicle stuff for one another back in the day. None of them are on DW, but all of them are still friends IRL, which is quite excellent.

First fanwork: That would be a series of Lord of the Rings character study poems I wrote for a grade school assignment, complete with calligraphy, illustrations, and an illuminated cover.

The first fanwork that I posted online was an Alex Krycek-centric humor fic that is definitely a product of both its time and my age when I wrote it.

First fanwork you interacted with: I emailed torch to gush that I loved Ghosts and ask when part four would be available. I was so new to fandom that I didn't realize what a big faux pas that was. Oops...

Snowflake Challenge: Day 7

Challenge #7

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a wishlist of sorts.

Please rec me things!

1. Arthuriana: I'm on a big King Arthur kick right now so I'd love Arthuriana-related recs. Novels, documentaries, podcasts, non-fiction scholarship...I'm open to it all.


2. Books: I will never say no to a recommendation for a good book.


3. Podcasts: I'm particularly interested in fantasy or history podcasts, but would also love to get recs for things outside of my go-to topics or genres.


4. Tabletop Games: I'm particularly fond of fantasy or horror tabletop games (think Gloomhaven or Stifling Dark) but welcome hearing about anything with beautiful art or design, good storytelling, or interesting mechanics.


5. Tarot Decks: Not that I need any more decks, but if you have a favorite Tarot deck I'd love to hear about it and why you dig it.
