Fandom Snowflake Challenge
Jan. 5th, 2013 01:17 amDo you guys know the Fandom Snowflake Challenge? I only just found out about it, thanks to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
analise010, and I'm going to give it a try. The challenge aims to let fans be proud, bold and loud about all of our fannish pursuits, to be passionate and unafraid, and to have faith in ourselves; in short, it wants us to go forth and be the special fannish snowflakes that we are. ;-) Since there's no pressure, no firm deadlines, and complete freedom to do pretty much whatever you want, it doesn't even matter that I'm off to a late start.
How it works:
Every day for the first 15 days of January, we're going to post a fannish challenge. It could be something as simple as reccing fanworks to sharing a piece of canon that you love.
Day 1
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Yeah. Way outside of my comfort zone, which - of course - is the point. So, the recs!
The Persistence of Iron - X-Men First Class, Science Fiction Alternate Universe (can be read as "non-fanfic" SciFi)
48,000 words. AU. Charles/Erik slash. Rated PG-13.
( Why this story? )
Partners - X-Files, Alternate Universe, dark-ish
11,000 words. AU. Potentially disturbing content. M/K slash. Rated R.
( Why this story? )
In a Strange Land - Medieval Literature Crossover
2,000 words. Crossover of the Nibelungenlied with Eschenbach's Parzival. Gen. Rated G.
