day 1O
create a fanwork.

i knew i wanted to write something for today’s challenge but i couldn’t decide what...so...i thought i’d ask for your help!

if you give me one of the pairings below and a prompt, i’ll write you a drabble or ficlet!

ships: james/sirius, lucius/narcissa, minerva/poppy, harry/draco, harry/ron, harry/ron/hermione, harry/charlie, bill/fleur, viktor/fleur, ron/pansy, ginny/luna, luna/cho, dean/seamus, neville/ginny, teddy/james sirius.
~~i really hope this isn’t a flop and even just one person requests something lol.~~

day o9

commit an act of kindness. in your own space, share what you’ve done, talk about what you’ve done, or simply leave a comment in this post saying you did it. include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

i’m trying to go through everyone’s snowflake responses and fulfill their wishes from day o6 and comment and read their self recs as well, but i dont think that really counts. i’m also currently trying to fill as many fandom stockings as possible but i don’t feel like that counts either. hmm.

so, i guess i’m going to offer to make some icons? :D if there’s a certain screen cap/picture you want made into an icon, leave a link in the comments below. it might take me a bit but i will make you one!

any fandoms! i don’t need to know the fandom to make an icon. :)

all i ask is that the image is good quality. it’s hard to make an icon out of low quality pictures but if that’s what you want i’ll try my best!

day o8
in your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created.

this challenge wasn’t as hard as it has been previously. i think that’s because i recently saw courtney summers on twitter say this (which i’ve edited slightly to fit fandom) “stop apologizing for your work. never begin or end a promo [post] with "sorry" or how bad it makes you feel to do it. [dreamwidth/fandom] is not your confessor + it wants to hear about your [work]” which made me think about self promo differently.

i would always encourage you guys to self promo something, in fact, i had planned on having a note telling you to do so at the bottom of this post but i think i’ll just add it after this paragraph. so why are we so hesitant to promote ourselves? especially in fandom which lends itself to self promotion. fandom wants to know when you’ve posted something and are proud of it!

so, please, promo your self in the comments below! i want to see your work!

( self recs for two hp fics (ron/pansy and bill/fleur) and one superstore fic (jonah/amy, gen). )

day o7
stretch yourself a little and try something new. go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. try working in a new medium. or check out some fanworks that are new to you.

i saw quite a few people asking for icon tutorials/tutorials for free programs going through the everyone's snowflake posts, so i decided to make a tutorial for icons using the two free online programs that i use: pixlr and photopea. i have even more respect for tutorial makers now. this took forever! love and admiration to anyone who has ever made a tutorial for anything.

for this tutorial, i'll be teaching you how to go from this:

to this:

( tutorial this way! )

i always feel awkward asking for things for myself so i’ll just link to my fandom stocking, likes and dislikes post, and previous exchange letters, if anyone feels like making anything.

mainly though, i’d like people to respond to this post and tell me if they would be interested in a “golden oldies” comment ficathon? i’ve had the idea for a while now but have been scared to actually make the post because i’m afraid no one would participate.

my idea is to have a regular comment ficathon except the only fandoms that can be prompted can be any fandom from the beginning of time to about 2005 (or set during any period during that time frame). that way we can have more fic about older fandoms, fandoms we may have let fall by the wayside, etc. would anyone be interested in that?

please, let me know your thoughts!
