#snowflakeChallenge2024

It has been so amazing getting to peek into your lives this past month, rekindle with some, met some for the first time. We hope you had a good time and met some people too! A friending meme will be going up later today, and we urge you to participate in it even if you have been adding friends to your circle as you go along.

Here's a poll!
Did You Enjoy Participating in Fandom Snowflake Challenge this Year?

@SnowflakeChallenge Thank you so much for arranging this challenge every year! I didn't participate in all of the challenges but the ones I did I really enjoyed writing and putting together! #SnowflakeChallenge2024

It feels weird to be ending something now, here at the beginning of the year--not that snowflake_challenge ever really ends--but we must take the reflections and reminisces of the past and move forward to make more connections, more discoveries, and more memories (and then come back here in 11 months and share them with us)!

I keep meaning to get better at cross-linking my DW posts here (and then totally not doing that), so here's my most recent post for the #SnowflakeChallenge2024 - a #reclist of Peter Pan fanfics (Pan-fics!)

#snowflakeChallenge2024

How about making icons or vids? Feeling fannish broadens horizons, so remix your own fic, bake that Death Star cake, crochet an awesome Kermit The Frog cap or write an unpopular character. You'll get creative juices flowing in cosplaying or planking to the tune of I'm Just Ken.

I love how Snowflake inspires fans to leave their comfort zones and fly away from the mother ship. Fic readers discover writing talents, soon to be followed by illustrating fics, even sketching doodles from their own stories to show all the in-between steps of Loki shapeshifting into a mare. (It's canon!) So today is the day to spread your wings.

Extra added attraction: anything you do may be used for Challenge #11, Create A Fanwork!

#snowflakeChallenge2024 Additional context: the anime journalists mention isn't some sort of typical "ugh journos bad" seen in parts of online anime fandom--it's because many of them were actually wrong, either listing AMG as a shounen for example (it is a seinen) or bloggers saying it's harem without any actual sources other than "trust me."

#snowflakeChallenge2024 9. Something only someone in your fandom would understand 2/2

Lots of memes were had to deal with the absurdity that was editors refusing to acknowledge primary sources NOT listing the series under "harem" (which is also just a wrong qualifier, overall). Here's one of my faves, made by a member called Geese.

Fun fact: the Japanese wikipedia page only states AMG as "love comedy" and "fantasy." Who knew, right?!

#snowflakeChallenge2024 9. Something only someone in your fandom would understand

-One of the things I must add onto the eventual #AhMyGoddess fansite is a (for now) AMG Discord specific event where a member tried to edit out the harem genre out of the Wikipedia page, and suddenly we found ourselves thrust in a journey of "uh, did you guys fail your library classes or something?" It was very odd!

#snowflakeChallenge2024 8. A book or song with a color in the title

- Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit, a cover of the The Who song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm_YQ1tx4Yw

Buddies and I were talking about Limp Bizkit and the nu metal era, and I was recommended this as someone who couldn't grok with Limp Bizkit. Very surprised by the cover, tbh!

#snowflakeChallenge2024 7. A piece of clothing you love

-A varsity jacket I bought in Finland while in my residency. I always loved varsity jackets but never was able to buy one. I found one that had red and black colors, with a red W, which I took to be a fortuitous meeting, because the branding for one of my projects is a red W :annoyingdog: Plus, it cost about 11-15 euros, if I remember? Which is the cheapest I've ever seen one of those jackets be priced, so I just took the plunge ^_^;

#snowflakeChallenge2024 6. Something from a favorite TV series or movie from your childhood

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_brDI02i8Oc The insert song "The Rock" from one of my favorite episodes from "So Weird." It was love at first viewing and first listen.

If you would like to watch the full series, go here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcOiFmyVtM9Ka-OYNTDTGy3zoIjZhI64i For the episode in question, look for the one titled "Banshee"!

#snowflakeChallenge2024 4. A fandom creator (pro or not) you'd like to meet

-I don't like the "pro or not" qualifier. I guess because if you're a "pro" fandom creator, you're not really a hobbyist anymore, you're just a glorified creator trying to make a career out of a hobby. But I digress.

I guess my friends, it would be nice to meet them IRL :D

5. Something you find comforting

-Probably drawing isolated after dealing with [fbi agent reading this stops her before she delves into rants]

#snowflakeChallenge2024 3. A fandom place you would like to visit

- Not sure if this means fandom community or real life place that served as inspiration, but Okayama is always on the bucket list, as that's the place Tenchi Muyo is set in. I also have a Japanese friend who literally turns out to live there too lmao, serendipity. So it'd be nice to visit her too one day <3

#snowflakeChallenge2024 2. Something that makes you laugh

-One of my favorite memes to edit to this day! When I decided to procrastinate on everything in life and rp on Tumblr xD My friend Raxceni and I would talk about her crossover ship and analogies to Swan Princess, and I tell you, the inspiration, she a-hit me! We were group watching Darling in the Franxx at the time, so I also added a quick reference to it.

Check the meme here: https://ayekanaru.tumblr.com/post/173947363067/listen-you-said-odette-and-nappa-in-the-same

#snowflakeChallenge2024 It's typical for most soldiers to have that outlook tbf, but I think he would dig learning about Youtube and going "I can watch all the aviation vids?! :0"

I have his videos on queue to watch eventually, but this channel is a "base" example: https://www.youtube.com/@fightertales/videos (Hans would probably be constantly raising eyebrows by the anime art though xD)

The shitposter in me thinks he'd find videos like this and be absolutely entranced and confused: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dntu3VDep8w

#snowflakeChallenge2024 "Day" 5: Searching in your current space for:

1. Something your favorite character would like:

-Which to pick of my faves lol. I'll go with Hans, for now: I think he would like Youtube a lot? Sounds cringe mayhaps, but Hans is canonically also fascinated by new things and wants to learn more about them, regardless of whether it came from the "enemy side" or not. To him, it's only extra knowledge that can become part of a more nuanced approach.

#snowflakeChallenge2024 "Day" 4: IceBreaker Challenge! Talk about ourselves.

Ehhh, not sure how this is different from the first one. I guess I'll just say I'm a comicker who wishes she had clones, so she could have had 10 comics out and finished by now LMAO. I also have a linguistics background, with minor interests in random history, religion and dadaism.

I got into archiving a year ago, more so when trying to gather ethereal webcomics history for the magical girl genre! :blobcatsurprised:

used #SnowflakeChallenge2024's Challenge 11 as an excuse to doodle the guy of all time (and also to unwind from commissions)

Right now the Snowflake Challenge #snowflakeChallenge2024 is going on here on mastodon if you want to do some prompts, ( @SnowflakeChallenge ) but if you want to make a difference, I suggest joining #fandomTrumpsHate , a fan works auction for charity.

Five things #SnowflakeChallenge2024

My Number 1 #Kpop #choreography of 2023 was this one from the contest #peaktime

BAD - team C
Participants were put into groups and asked to perform original dances to specific music. This #sexy #dance by group C really got the crowd going.

I always jump when he puts his shirt in his mouth, and I scream a little when the other dancer taps his lips three times.
OO La La!

Number 2
BI's BTBT

The first time I saw this, my jaw dropped and I said, "What are they doing"?

This is a #dance that makes a #dancer want to get up and copy them. Just look at some dancer's reaction videos. They stop it 30 seconds in and try to figure out how to dance it.

It has novel, non-traditional, interesting moves and a loping, lyrical beat that makes you wanna dance. Truly a #dancer's choreography, and I love to follow it.
Cool!

Number 3
Taemin in Rizzness

I think the term is stupid, and I would not want to dance this myself, but this is the dance from his recent album that feels most unique.

And it's #Taemin! I love the way he moves. I would pay to watch him walk across the street.

I like how he alternates from super jerky and agitated to a relaxed groove. So lovely. So shocking. So Taemin.

Number 4
VATA and Zico's New Thing

This one also spawned a dance challenge, and what challenges do is show you how good the original is.

What I like is how relaxed the dancer appears to be, and how it feels cocky and spontaneous even though it is very choreographed.

He's moving really fast on some of the moves, and the musicality when he hits those beats is killer!

Nice!
( This is the mirrored one because it was easiest to find)
