Snowflake Challenge Day 5 and 6
(No post for Day 4 because it was a non-journal posting activity. I did it, though!)
Day 5: Promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.
1.![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ushobwri is a DW support group for writers. The community was born out of WriSoMiFu (Write Something You Miserable Fuck), a companion of sorts to NaNoWriMo in which the sole challenge was to write something every day in November. When WriSo ended a few years ago, many people decided they would miss the community that had formed around the challenge, and yoU SHOuld Be WRIting (USHOBWRI) was born. Members call themselves "Shoobies" and continue on with supporting each others writing in many different ways, with posts for chatting, sharing snippets, and checking in at least three times each week throughout the year, and regular challenges (including daily writing in November). Although I haven't participated as much in recent years, I found it a wonderful and supportive home for awhile, and I'm so glad they're still out there, doing their thing.
2.remixrevival / The Remix Revival challenge is a successor of sorts to Remix Redux. Remix is a type of fic exchange in which you take someone else's story and put your own spin on it. I participated in multiple rounds of the original Remix, so I was quite happy to see it live on in Remix Revival -- especially since Remix Revival is also open to fan artists. As an author, I often find fanart a great source of inspiration, and love getting fanart of my own work, so as far as I'm concerned, the addition of fanart to the mix is brilliant. Remix Revival usually runs from summer through early fall, and I will certainly be keeping my eye out.
3. Fangirl Happy Hour is one of my very favorite fannish podcasts (that counts as a sort of blog, right?), and I'm not just saying that because![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
renay is a co-founder and co-host, or because I'm an occasional guest. Renay and Ana (of The Book Smugglers) have wonderful conversations about books, movies, and happenings around fandom, and I always look forward to hearing what they have to say.
Day 6: 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.
1. Fanart of any fic I've ever written, but especially of my two MegaFlare* stories that were left unclaimed by artists: Reconcilable Differences (Final Fantasy XII) and The Joining (FFXII/Dragon Age crossover)
2. Someone to run a Reverse Bang in a fandom that I participate in, especially Dragon Age, Final Fantasy, or Critical Role. (Or, if such a thing currently exists, a pointer in that direction.) Reverse Bangs are maybe my favorite type of fic challenge, and it's been ages since I've done one.
3. This is an oldie but a goodie, but I've always wished for more people to write Paine/Nooj, my Final Fantasy X-2 OTP and one of my top pairings of all time. It's an under-loved pairing in an under-loved canon, and it would be so great to see more out there.
*A Final Fantasy Big Bang challenge that I ran withrenay for two years, in 2010 and 2011.
