Snowflake Challenge 2018 - Day 10 and 11
Jan. 17th, 2018 09:19 pmI'm still (slowly) making my way through the Snowflake Challenge, two days in the same post today.
Day 10
In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (Or a few!) Tell us what makes it work for you, and why it appeals to you so much. Talk about what you like to see in fanworks featuring that theme most. Feel free to include recs and examples! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
In general, I like angsty stories with a happy ending, because I like suffering along with the characters, but only if I know they're going to find some happiness in the end. I also like "friends to lovers" fics, and fics where one of the characters is secretly pining after the other. I love vampires, so I'm always on the lookout for good AUs where some of the characters are vampires. And because I'm silly like that, I love a good old "snogging against a wall" scene. Don't ask me why, I just do.
Day 11
Share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Reading "1984" in school changed my life. It's not fandom-related at all, but when I read it back then (I was 18), it really touched me.
The Cure also changed my life, both fandom-wise and non fandom-wise: it was my first real fandom, the one in which I was active and productive for the first time, my first fanfics where Cure RPF. I've participated in various other fandoms after that, but that's where it all began. And of course I finally found a style (or subculture, if you want) I could identify with.
Of course I'm going to mention the Harry Potter books, because they were such an important part of my life around university time.
And last but definitely not least, Die Ärzte. I have to thank this silly German band if my German didn't completely die, if I made friends with some wonderful people from all around the world, if I had the courage to leave everything behind and move to Berlin for almost a year.
