In your own space, create your own challenge. What’s something you want to see more people doing in fandom? Is there something fun you’ve tried that you think other people would enjoy if they gave it a go? Dare your friends to try it out, and have fun with it.
Whew! Barely made it under the wire.
Day 14
In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create.
Whoa, this is so hard. Do you have any idea how many good fanworks there are out there???
In your own space, talk about a creator. Show us why you think they are amazing.
In your own space, talk about what you bring to fandom. It can be something tangible, or not.
Day 11
In your own space, post a rec for fannish and/or creative resources.
I’m pretty pleased with myself so far – it’s day 10 and I’ve only missed one day – I just didn’t have the heart to subject you all to sending me love memes – I’ve done that to fuel my insecurities too many times in the past and I wasn’t going to trouble you with it again.
Day 10
Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or check out some fanworks that are new to you.
No, you aren’t missing something. I decided to give Day 8’s challenge a miss. It was just a little too self-serving!
First of all, Happy Birthday to Severus Snape, who has been such an inspiration in so many ways. The culmination of the archetypal dark-haired, dark-eyed man I had dreamed of since I was a child, my secret Muse, my eternal flame.
Day 9
In your own space, talk about what surprises you about fandom. It could be a pairing or fandom you never thought you’d like. A fanwork type you never knew existed. Talk about a talent you discovered you have. Finding folks who are geekier than you, or on the flip side, finding out that there is no one geekier than you. A person who changed your life. The possibilities are endless. Big or small, what unexpected surprises have you found?
Day 7
In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (More than one is okay, too.) Tell us about it, tell us why you love it, give us some examples and recs.
Day 6
In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Whoa, so… no pressure, then. Bear with me; it’s not easy making up something on the spot.

In your own space, talk about your fannish origin story. How did you come to fandom, why did you choose your fannish name, do you have more than one secret identity? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
This is my personal journal of my writing. Please do not repost any content here without my written permission.
I am a writer, a submissive, a servant of my Muse. I love creativity, and want to inspire and encourage everyone around me to create, whether it be writing, art, music, crafts, cooking...Creating is our birthright.
