Snowflake Challenge: Day 1

[feckyeslife]

Challenge #1
In your own space, introduce yourself!
I've definitely got some previous versions of this on this journal (Like on my official About section or 2020's post). Here's the 2021 version!

o/ I'm Fecky aka Sarah! I have been kicking around fannish circles since roughly 2008 and have been on Dreamwidth actively since 2018.

My fandom life is focused on fic. I love writing and I really love gushing with friends and the community about the whole experience. The ups, the downs, the really dumb anons who seem to deliberately not understand what tags mean. Right now I'm very heavily involved in exchanges and fandom events. They're a great way to obligate myself to be writing almost every week! I've met a lot of good friends this way and there's always someone new to squee with.

In my IRL sphere, I'm currently working in Food Safety & Quality. I'm married to the lovely Docithe, and we have been sharing an office through these interesting times without too many scuffles. I've got four cats and one German Shepard and probably a little too little sleep. It's all very worthwhile.

You can find me in several places:

Hi! I checked out the info linked above and see we share a love for The Old Guard and The Winter Soldier!

I live in upstate NY, so we’re kinda sorta neighbors!

We have a cat whose acquisition was unplanned, but I have discovered that I love being a cat mom. (And two rescue dogs; totally planned. *g*)

I hope you enjoy this round of Snowflake!

[feckyeslife]

Oh that's so cool! I have another good friend in upstate NY, so you aren't alone in that region of having good taste in fandom ;D

Being an unplanned cat-mom is totally acceptable. They're very good at worming their way into your heart! My husband got our first two cats for our anniversary aka for me and then the other two he more or less was like "well we need to adopt them to give them a good home, clearly, not that I'm also super heart-eyes over these little fuzzy friends how could you say that?"

I am a bit behind for Snowflake but looking forward to catching up :3 I like the reminder of different challenges to focus on and to build out my DW interactions.

I knew of one person who lived 'near' me, but have recently discovered that there are a handful more, so that's cool. I always felt very alone fandom-wise up here in the boonies. *g*

I'm glad you're enjoying the Snowflake challenges. I've been participating for a couple of years and I always love the reminder of how great fandom can be.

Hello, I'm glad you could join us. I've seen several people mention Avatar: the last airbender and read one story and wanted to find out more. I've discovered I can watch it here in the UK on AmazonPrime for free.

I'm also a great cat lover too, we fandom folk seem to be great animal lovers :)

I hope you enjoy Snowflake, it's a lot of fun.

[feckyeslife]

Thanks so much!
Yes, definitely do give A:TLA a shot if you have the opportunity to check it out for free especially. Even my sibling who hadn't watched it much when it aired watched it this past summer and they loved it.

Cat lovers, unite :D

Hi fellow snowflaker!

I just had to drop by to say... Eric/Tris. I hadn't considered it (Four distracts me), but I'm considering it hard now, and I think I might be on board with it. God, I love new ships :D

Also, Buckyyyyyyyy. I'm always on board for Bucky!

[feckyeslife]

Hello, hello!
Ooo I am very well known for corrupting people with Eric/Tris who had never thought of it previously. If you're interested in some reads, I do have some on my AO3 and also a rec post of other people's so that I'm not just tooting my own horn XD

Yaass Bucky is the best :3

[dreamersdare]

Awesomesauce, thank you :) I shall check those out (as soon as the frantic posting of Snowflake relents, anyway. I haven't managed to read anything all month!)

Seen you from the snowflaks challenge!

[sapientesgladio]

Ahhh another ATLA fan! I've been wanting to re-read some of my favorite fics and have also been a little hesitant to read newer ones. Idk since they put the show on Netflix (along with TLOK), I've been nervous about reading new stuff.

I have a handwritten journal of ideas from 2012/2013 that I've been meaning to look at again and write. Especially Zutara related things~.

Man I'm blabbing so early in the morning. Anyway I hope we can talk soon!

Hello!!!
I definitely have been a little quieter and extremely not-in-a-reading mood for A:TLA mode as compared to a few years back, but it's one of my forever fandoms that I don't think I'll ever stop being a part of even just on the side. What I find really interesting is how my tastes tend to change over time but I definitely still have my favorite tropes and settings. Who can resist a mid-season 3 canon divergence? Not meeee.

Dig it out! That sounds really fun :D
