Snowflake 8 and 9

Challenge #8: In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, a gift of your time to the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.

My team tied for first over at the Merlin Kinkalot month-long challenge! I wrote 2 shyan fics for a Discord event, which was fun. I also felt good about completing ficinabox, the longest fic exchange I've been apart of. And I got the captain rank before Loose Lips Sink Ships ended.

I miss LLSS. Did you see that the boyfriends server is doing a prompt meme for February?

[impala_chick]

No I didn't! Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to go have a look.

Reading anything and commenting is a definite contribution to fandom. If no-one comments anywhere ever, we're all just screaming blindly into the void, and it does feel a bit nilhistic...

I mean, I'm okay with that, but it does not a community make :)

True!!
