Day 8
In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
the thing is... i have no work without mistakes weather it is podfic or fanfic:
the one story of mine that i really like at the moment is my mpreg-wip SS/BZ and for it being wip and i have a backlog on it since october... so i am not talking about that, as for my fics, to most of them i simply have no connection/feeling now, i did when i wrote them, but now they are done and out there to do as the please- i set them free; i have a different feeling about my podfics... maybe it is because you can hear my actual voice there, when my fics say nothing about me... well that was some thinking, lets get to the recing
- Business Meeting written by lomonaaeren. it can also be found on AO3 which can not be said about all my podfic.
i rec it first for the amount of work that got into it- AND STILL there is a huge mistake in the first chapter where i missed to take out a blunder *headdesks*
but it was so amazing doing it, it was such a strech for myself, and it took a lot of dedication to get it done on time (with extension because editing is a bitch) but it was a blast! - Only One Word is a Remus/Draco podfic, i recorded for podficfest, and with the amazing help of stardutchess i managed to turn this one around... i really like it, i think i have the voices down, the mood and pacing is right, and this feels just really good to me, like something i have done right
- Unpredictable is one of my earliest works, and you can hear that with the mic spikes all over (sorry!!! i didn't know better back then) but i think that i smashed Severus voice in that one, its just so right, and the thing is i cant find it anymore... i had it, and then it was gone. but i guess i will find it again one day in the future XD
well, and that is it
Snowflake Challenge Day 6
Jan. 10th, 2019 08:06 amDay 6
In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.
so it is wishing time, i can totally do that:
if ther was a stardust fairy to grant me my wishes, i would ask for
- more podficers! there is nothing like having a fanfic read to you, and you can do it while you are cleaning the flat/fighting the ironing/amuse your pet- podfics are just awesome and we do need more of them
- in relation to one, i would wish for more authors (for me this is especially for hp-authors) to state if they give blanked permission, or have a list up of either works they are ok with to be podficed, or works they wish would not be podficed, this would be soooo helpful!
- i wish for a strict accountability partner when it goes to writing. i set out 2019 with writing every day for half an hour, i know it is possible... i haven't written a word since the 4th... this is so frustrating.
i would do it with a point system- where we would keep each others point, everybody gets 100 base points- meeting your daily goal grants you 5 points, not doing so penalty of 10 points - the first one reaching 0 has to state so on their journal- and show the amount of the scores(or some other penalty), then there would be a reset - the idea being it never gets to 0 though; we could totally do that in groups i think- but NO excuses outside of: in hospital sick/unconcious/broken fingers is allowed- none! anyone up for that?
Snowflake Day 5

Day 5
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.
that is easy (well mostly with a few not so easy things):
- the first and foremost informant about what is going on in my fandom is:
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
potterfests and i am so grateful for the amazing mod ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
theimpossiblegl for all the hard work she does, because without it i would always be out of the loop when it comes to fests old and new! so i also want to use this place to say: THANK YOU! it is a little rewarding thing you do, but believe me it is highly appreciated! - dove_drabbles is next on my list because it is amazing!!! i have not yet managed to create one thing for it but i have one sailor moon and one gundam wing fic for it in mind, that just needs to get done and needs to find a right prompt! i like especially that this is a ALL fandom ALL pairing community! and again thanks enchanted_jae and kitty_fic for keeping it up and keeping it going! it is a fantastic place and as soon as i have a breather and a little time on my site (even if it may take me two years to get there) i want to start creating something because its such a wonderful idea!
- and then in place of some (sadly not that many) amazing communities in the hp-fandom who allow all pairings and all the good stuff i want to point to interhouse_fest - because i have it on good authority that it will be running this year again! and because it is a fantastic idea- and hp always is for more interhouse communication! thanks to gelsey and katmarajade for running it!!!
- and last as a bonus i want to point out hp_shoreofangst which is my own community where everything is welcome as long as there is a bit of angst- there will be another fest this year and it will have roughly the same timeline as last year:
Prompting 01. 02. - 28.02.
Claiming 01.03. - 30.04. (extended for a month)
Posting starts 01.06.
would be amazing to see you there!
Snowflake Challenge Day 3

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
booooy, this is a hard one and to say it before anything else Harry Potter does not even make it in my top 10, that is the reason why i write so much in HP- the harry potter canon (if you cut away all the bullshit and go by either only the movies or only the books- you can't take them both together because they contradict each other) is such a mess, that it is every fanfic-writers dream. it is so easy to make something out of it for your own...
a complete other thing is going on with Gundam Wing, where all you just want to do is add a bit of sexiness and drama to it - its my top 2 canon, it is awesome;
and then i have two top 1 spots and no third place: Darker than Black and Claymore...
well i dont have the time but i have the love:
Darker than Black the original anime - not the manga, and not Darker than Black2 because that shit got weird there, is an amazing anime that is driven by action and focuses on characters with an overlying plot; and i have watched it about 30 times now already and every time i see it, i notice a subplot, a detail a thing that went over my head the first watch. the most amazing thing is the first time you watch it- MAKE sure nobody spoils it for you and just dive in, in this amazing free fall!
( spoilers )
for Claymore its the manga that got me, because it is so amazing, sadly it is one of those stories where my favourite character dies rather early, but what makes claymore so fantastic are the characters first and then the action driven plot! and boy it is an amazing plot, also it has swords, i mean is there any argument better than swords?
and my favourite part in that story is the time that irene gives her arm to clare, knowing that this was her own death but the overall goal was more important. this scene is such a punch its awesome.
the whole anime to me is very motivating but also about a good moral compass- when to respect the rules and when to break it; especially since it comes with the message: "There are rules, but we choose to obay them." and that is something people today think way to little about, in my opinion: i dont have to obey the law, and there might be a point where it is to expensive to obey it, so that i will chose to break it. And basically everybody has that right. a right that is only afforded to those who think. and claymore showcases that so, so beautifully, and at the same time very dramatically.
as an extra-point the anime is also very good (but not finished like the manga is because in the manga the plot is fully resolved) and the blood animation is really beautiful- not wolfs rain beautiful- but still awesome beautiful and in such amazing colouring and shading. it's just wonderful! especially for the age.

Snowflake Challenge Day 2
Jan. 2nd, 2019 08:23 pmlet's keep it short and simple:

hope you will find something to enjoy, i did not rec my fav H/D fics because well they already get enough attention and i need more people liking rare pairs <3
Day 2
Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
so here are my favourite stories:
- The Arrangement is a GUNDEM WING story written by madoror and is just stunning, and such a worthy read. the fight scenes are dynamic, the characters are as they are in the anime but with so much growth and the stuggle they face is just awesome! also it has my favourite pairing: Herro Yuy/Chang Wufei... because i apparently always go for the rares. but this truly is WORTH the time it will take to read it.
as a bonusopalsong did an amazing podfic of this story: the way she reads the characters is just so, so good! podfic The Arrangement - The Fields of St. Herve is a HARRY POTTER fanfic with the pairing of Remus Lupin/Draco Malfoy and is the reason i come to crave and adore this pairing even more. the story is touching and at one point usually the tears are getting to me because of the drama and angst and it is just wonderful and stunning and just go and read it, do it now so that you dont miss it later! it is that good
- Cultural Differences is another Harry Potter fanfic with the pairing of Severus Snape/Victor Krum.
The writer schemingreader does both characters so much credit.
never to mention that it is hot as hell, and a really good read!
hope you will find something to enjoy, i did not rec my fav H/D fics because well they already get enough attention and i need more people liking rare pairs <3
