Challenge #13

In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1) Livejournal. Definitely my friends here. They are great resources for fandom, known and unknown.
2) Wiki. I am constantly looking up things on wiki, mainly historical facts concerning my Tudor obsession.
3) Imdb. For as long as I can remember I used that site when checking out the works of actors that have caught my eye.

Challenge #14

In your own space, remix an existing work into a new media, and/or rec three or more remixes that do the same. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Since I am kinda out of the loop with fandom, I am not really sure on this one. I do like watching fanvid, especially when they use really good music. I used to have so many favorites. I went in search of a few from some of my fandoms and came up with these three.

Richard and Anne from The White Queen || if our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?


Spock/Kirk/Khan || Immortals


Loki & Thor || Wake Me Up


Challenge #15

In your own space, Talk about Your Snowflake Experience. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I took the challenge so that I would be pushed to post. It was fun but it made me realize that I am further removed from fandom than I thought. Hopefully I can get my love of fandom back. I am going to revisit my love of Star Trek tonight with a rewatch of Into the Darkness thanks to justjo2u. It's always fun to visit old fandoms especially if there are no new ones on the horizon yet.

Sorry for the spam. Trying to catch up a bit with the challenges when I have the time.

Over at the community I have with stellar_raven we are running the LJ Book Bingo first quarter challenge. Anyone is welcome to join! ljbookbingo

Our first card:

In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I don't really participate in fandom like I used to, so I am very behind on fanworks. Still even when I participated heavily I only really read works by justjo2u. Her LOTR poems still blow me away. If you are friends with her you can read my two favorite here: The White Tree and My Brother.

Also stellar_raven makes the most beautiful icons. You can find her icon journal here Icons by Jenn.

In your own space, create some goals. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1. Respond more than react.

2. Accept things I cannot change.

3. Focus more on the good than the bad (think more positively than negatively)

4. Make more time for friends.

5. Grab joy wherever I can.

6. Stay caught up at LJ.

Challenge #3: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

In your own space, tell us who, from one of your fandoms, would you most want to have dinner with (or tea, or a random afternoon visit), And why? This could be a creator, an actor, a costumer, a set designer, a director, a character, a composer, anybody! What would you talk about? What are you dying to know?
