Snowflake Challenge 2026 - Day 12

Challenge #12

Make an appreciation post to those who enhance your fandom life. Appreciate them in bullet points, prose, poetry, a moodboard, a song... whatever moves you!

So many people make my fandom life better:

People who leave comments and/or kudos or reblog my fics and art. My current fandoms are rather small and interaction is very limited, so I'm always very happy when I receive feedback on my fics and art. Seeing an AO3 email notification saying someone left a comment on one of my fics immediately improves my mood.

Writers and artists in general. Fandom is made by people who create something out of passion and love and share it with the world, be it fanfiction, fanart, moodboards, meta pieces, playlists etc. Reading a fic or looking at a piece of fanart can make me forget about everyday problems, and I'm always grateful for that.

The people behind AO3, DW etc. I don't think people realise how lucky we are to have AO3 and DW and how much work those websites need to keep running. Our online experience would be very different without them!

I'm sure I'm forgetting something/someone, but those are the main things that came to my mind.
