majorrChallenge #15
In your own space, Talk about Your Snowflake Experience.
This was my first time participating, and I thought it was a lot of fun! I've had another DW for years that I only ever used to put exchange letters on. I made this account so I could make fandom and personal posts more generally and have only been using it since December, so it was great to find this challenge. I hope there are other challenges like this on DW because I would love to participate. It was a great way to be active here and engage with other people.
I did most of the challenges. I was going for all of them, but I did skip 9 and 11 and then I skipped the last two because my mind went totally blank in response to those. Whoops. I would have loved to have done 11 and created a fanwork, but I was already in the middle of multiple projects and didn't want to shift my focus to something new and interrupt my momentum there. Hopefully, I'll have another chance to go for all of them if it runs again next year, but eleven out of fifteen isn't bad for my first try! I'm counting this as a win, but mostly I'm just counting it as fun. I really liked responding to the challenges and talking to new people. I talked to more people in January here than I did in all of December since I'm not really sure how to meet people on DW. lol
I had a great time and I'm grateful to everyone who runs it!

Date: 2021-01-29 08:57 pm (UTC)I think that's true for most of us, to be honest. One of the things that never ported over from LJ (or is they did, they haven't been maintained) are the general fandom squee comms. Also, the fic comms - I met a lot of folks back in the day through fic comms, but of course we all post on AO3 now, and the connection has been lost, I think.
I mean, I don't have a solution to this. Just my thinkings on why it's a challenge (I know, I'm so helpful :D)
