Snowflake Challenge #1

[soricel]

The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

I've never really considered myself a particularly "fannish" person, but the more I explore fandom world (or at least the small corners of it I've poked around in), the more inspired I feel, and the more I feel like the part of me that needs to create and connect could find a home here (despite some lingering ambivalence about some of the things I actually create in these spaces). I like the regularity and structure it provides to my creative life, with all the challenges and events and stuff, and I love the exchanges: it's so cool and sweet to me that people put so much effort into making little gifts and treats for each other! I also feel like the more time I spend writing and thinking and "talking" (on here) about stories and characters I like, the stronger my feelings for them/relationships with them become, and I've really enjoyed that process.

I'm hoping that this Snowflake challenge will give me some opportunities to think more deeply about my relationship to my creativity and the things that inspire me. I'm looking forward to reading other people's posts too and reflecting on other people's reflections. :)
