fardell24Challenge #13
Interact with someone in fandom you haven't talked with before.
Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Let us know what you did, if you feel comfortable doing so.
We all have different levels of comfort in putting ourselves out there. And while we here at Fandom Snowflake love to challenge people to go out of their comfort zone, we also want you to feel safe. You don't have to strike up a conversation with a total stranger (unless you want to). You could try any number of things! Comment on someone else's journal, or comment on a fanwork. Speak up in a Discord conversation. Leave kudos on a work at AO3. Reblog a fanwork on Tumblr. Fill a prompt at a community. Chat up the random person who posted about your favorite fandom here in our challenges. Find someone to wave to in tags. Really, anything that has you communicating with someone else counts.
Here's some suggestions if you want them:
- Challenge #8 asked people to post a promo or manifesto for one of their beloved fandoms. Look at the comments for someone who shares your interests, and leave them a comment!
- Challenge #9 asked people to create a fanwork. It's a great place to find new people!
- Go to AO3 and sort the fics in your favorite fandom by comments, and leave a comment or kudos on one you've never read before.
- If you would like to find a community that suits your interests, try [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith's Follow Friday tag. The communities are sorted by topic. Maybe comment on a recent post there, or post something relevant yourself.
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. (That counts, too!)
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.
