Snowflake - Challenge 1

[bleodswean]

Challenge #1

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


Here's my journal's intro post!


My goal with Snowflake is to create a daily posting habit! Also to meet new journalers!

I'm not currently writing in any particular fandom. Last year, some of us were writing rabidly in Nosferatu. That was invigorating, to say the least! I'm always interested in drabbling and miss the drabble communities but will post one from time to time. I do have plans for a writing project for this year! 

Happy New Year! Here's to 2026!

The two drabble challenges I do are drabble_zone and 100words

[bleodswean]

Ooooh! Thank you!

[lightbird]

Ooh, Nosferatu!

It sounds like you were specifically into Nosferatu, rather than vampires generally, but there is a newish community called vampiremedia, where people rec media for various vampire fandoms.

Happy New Year!

It was crazy fun for over half a year. We were over at https://the-scent-of-lilacs.dreamwidth.org/profile (I really need to learn how to embed links!) I will check out that comm! Thanks!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's <*lj user="name"> (take the asterisk out, the 'LJ' is a holdover from when DW forked from LJ. I think at one point they went to <*user="name"> but that didn't show when I tried it so perhaps they didn't and I'm imagining it.

<*lj user="sharpiefan"> will give you sharpiefan

[bleodswean]

Whoa. No wonder. Thanks! I do have trouble navigating DW vs LJ for that kind of info.

[sharpiefan]

Actually, user name= will also work. It's been a while since I was here and I've always used the LJ name version.

Sigh.

I love drabbles. I can't remember why I stopped writing them. Hmmm. Maybe this year... ❤️❤️

Best wishes for the New Year, E!

Yeah, "Lilacs" was fun while it lasted.

fic_promptly is a great place to post drabbles, too, and it helps when you need ideas. They got prompts that go as far back as 2010, and allow you to use all prompts, whether they've been filled or not. It's pretty cool.

Happy New Year to you, too! Have a great 2026. :)

Happy New Year! I'm also adding to the community recs - another one you might also like is comment_fic

I am with you on creating a daily posting habit! May 2026 bring you kindness and peace and many opportunities to drabble :D

Here's hoping you get a good habit and get to meet all kinds of interesting people through looking at challenge responses.
