Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day Two

[mab]

Day 2

In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Fandom tends to clump together, and that's has both positive and negative effects. It's the basis of our support networks, our intertwined lives, but it also tends to isolate us and we forget the existence of other fans outside of our chosen place. Maybe it's time to reach out to fans on other platforms, in other places and say hello.



On tumblr, my favourite blog to follow has to be Viria.

She's a talented fan artist and all around cool person. Her art includes Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Welcome to Night Vale, FMA, Free!, snk, and more. If you haven't checked her out, do!

On Chatzy, the current room I hang out in is an 18+ room, dedicated to those who ship Kirk and Spock, but we do talk about other fandoms and pairings in there. It's run by jad and is a free room, so it only holds up to ten people at a time. But it's friendly and not usually all that busy. I've asked permission to share the room on my lj and it was granted. If you're interested in dropping by to say hello, click the link: Space Husbands.

There are many communities on livejournal that I love and follow, and I'm sure my f-list is mostly aware of them, so for my third rec, I'm choosing the asylum on insanejournal devoted to kink in the Harry Potter world. Daily Deviant. They are just wrapping up their Christmas fest, Kinky Kristmas and I have read so many fascinating kinks and pairings since following it. It's helping to expand my fanfiction tastes.

If you want to hear more about why I rec any of these platforms, feel free to shoot me a question. I have feels to share!

I loved reading about this coms you chose and what they meant to you. Great picks - really unique. I want people to rec coms/blogs that not everyone might know about!

I haven't posted yet, because that is what I was trying to do...I don't think I follow anything original, though.

Looking forward to seeing it!

Oh, despite being a rabid K/S fan, I did not know about the chat room! Awesome, thx!

Some day Star Trek might drag me in, some day.
