Introduction Post * Meet the Mods Post * Master Post on DW

Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time, or go back and do challenges you've missed.

Happy New Year, fandom! As we look to the beginning of a new year (is it really 2024 already?!), it’s time to freshen up our online spaces. This is a good opportunity to create a new profile post or simply update the one you’ve already got. Your profile can be anything you want it to be: a list of the fandoms you participate in, your loves/hates in fandom, a tour of your fandom journey, or anything else you want people to know about you.

Challenge #1

Update your fandom information. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

If you need ideas or inspiration, feel free to visit the links below for examples of how others have done it. There is no right or wrong way to do this, so write what makes sense to you.

Check out the comments for all the awesome participants of the challenge and visit their journals/challenge responses to comment on their posts and cheer them on.

And just as a reminder: this is a low pressure, fun challenge. If you aren't comfortable doing a particular challenge, then don't. We aren't keeping track of who does what.

Challenge #1

In your own space, update your fandom information!  Leave a comment in today’s post at The Fandom Snowflake Challenge on DW  saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

If you already have a sticky post or full bio on your profile, make sure they’re up to date so that people visiting your journal can learn something about you.  Update your interests; make sure your fic posts are current; check that all your links work, etc.  If you don’t already have a sticky post introducing yourself and your fandom interests, create one!

I’ve updated my pinned post with my most recent fic. I updated my about Icon and my about page just a wee bit and finally changed out my header!

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Calum mumbled to himself as he tore his room apart looking for his pick. He quite literally couldn’t live without it, it was his lucky pick and he was superstitious when it came to things like that. Determined to find it, he made his way in Camila’s room. Once inside he would glance around, surveying the place and letting his mind mull over the place that she might have put it. He picked up the lid off of her jewelry box to peer inside but nothing. Then he opened a couple of the drawers and when everything was neatly put in place he would close them again. Bending down he would take a look under the bed just for good measure, and before getting up, he would life the mattress to peer underneath. Nothing. That was when it hit him.

Introduction Post * Meet the Mods Post * Master Post on DW

Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time, or go back and do challenges you've missed.

Some of the names you see here during Snowflake 2023 might be familiar, and some might be complete strangers. (Or, as we like to think of it, friends you haven’t met yet.) We’d like us all to take the first step towards making new friends with this first challenge, which has become our annual first challenge.

Challenge #1

If you want some prompts for this challenge, simply copy-paste the form below and then fill in your information between the brackets:

Transformative Works Policy: [what is it, where is it posted]

Current Passion [not necessarily fandom or fannish, but anything that takes up your time and thoughts - e.g. knitting, interpretive dance, meta about a movie that doesn't exist, or you know, one that does]

Where to Find Me: [what platform do you use the most, or what platform do you use for different purposes?]

Master List: [for fic, for art, for recs, or anything else]

Anything Else: [anything else you'd like to include]

If you already have a sticky post or full bio on your profile, make sure they’re up to date so that people visiting your journal can learn something about you. Update your interests; make sure your fic posts are current; check that all your links work, etc. If you don’t already have a sticky post introducing yourself and your fandom interests, create one!

If you’re looking for some suggestions, here are some I borrowed from my co-mod :

Imagine you're at a fandom party, what would you want strangers you hope to be friends knowing about you? If someone happens upon your journal randomly, what impression do you hope they leave with? Or just simply an update on your life and what got you through this year.

Some of your mods have already done this so that you can get an idea of the variety of ways you can fill this challenge: Coyoteclaw’s DW sticky post; Muccamukk’s DW profile, DW sticky post and AO3 profile; and Spikedluv’s DW profile and DW sticky post.
