Fandom Snowflake Challenge Day 8

Day 8


In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Surf the comments and find people to give love to.

*makes eyes all big and anime looking* Actually not as tough as I'd originally thought because I read it as "tell others how wonderful you yourself are". Ack! Hope others will say nice things is a piece of cake in comparison.

Well, unless nobody says anything. ;-(    "Hello? Anybody out there?"

Drive-by comment to say: you are awesome! Yay you for doing this challenge!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you!

Hi,

I don't know you (yet?) so I can't really describe in detail how wonderful you are (though you totally are, I'm sure of it!).

And I already know a few things about you. For example that you love Emily Dickinson and that you have the most wicked santa skeleton icon. Extremely rad, that.

Also, I really, really believe that anyone who does this Snowflake Challenge is kind of awesome. It's such a positive activity, sharing creativity and reaching out. So yeah, you're awesome. (Also, you like Buffy and poetry! I think poetry is one of the best things about a person, really. So.)

Anyway, I figured that I'd use this love meme to spread positive vibes by sharing encouraging quotes because I believe that all of us have the potential to be amazing and awesome beyond our wildest dreams and worst fears. This is the quote I picked for you:

We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies—

The Heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing,
Did not ourselves the Cubits warp
For fear to be a King—

(Emily Dickinson, of course!)

♥ Live out loud!

*squee* You are so awesome. Thanks so much for the poem!

The rad Santa icon is from Hogfather. I get the DVD out of the library each year. It's set in the Disc World universe if you're familiar with that.

I'm sure you know I think you are wonderful, but i thought I'd tell you myself: you are wonderful.

Kind, supportive, a great writer, you always give great recs (fics, shows, vids, articles, where do you find all this stuff?j. And your icons are fabulous.

So, basically, I <3 you

(I'm not even doing the challenge, just wanted to say hey)

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thanks. You're pretty wonderful too!

I really did throw myself into the recs this year. I'm not sure where I found them all. Some I think I stole from other recs. I did actively go through the last year's output from different communities to find things to rec.

*hugs*

You're a fantastic person: smart, interesting, talented, supportive, unique, creative, and just plain all-around nifty-as-heck. I am always glad to see a post with your name on it on my Friend's page and a comment from you in my Inbox. You rock, my dear!

*loves*

Awww, thank you. That's so sweet! *hugs*

Random drive-by comment from the Snowflake Challenge place... :D I like the Magritte quote you've got up there. (His art is wonderfully thought-provoking, isn't it?)

Also, you like the Discworld. Which makes you zany. Pterry's got this amazing way of taking the world as we know it and titling it about 45*, hasn't he?

The trials on the road to world harmony are no greater than the courage of those who accept the challenge. - Carl Lewis

You know, I'd forgotten I had that Magritte quote up there. Thanks for reminding me. It is there for a reason.

Mmmm, Diskworld.

Excellent quote. Thank you!

I think I'm primarily in awe of your productivity -- so prolific with your fanfic, and also writing a NOVEL!!!! But it's not just the quantity of your output, it's also the creativity. How do you manage it? And on top of that, whenever I rec something, you read it ASAP and offer your thoughts. And you got me on this new Giles/Ethan kick.

Aaaand...(selfishly), of course, your feedback is so supportive.

I'm always happy when I check my journal and see that you've posted something.

Basically, you're amazing.

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Well, in a time where I feel I haven't posted any fanfic recently, it's nice to hear I'm prolific. ;-)
I wish I knew where the creativity comes from. It just sort of seems natural to me. And I have been on a fanfic kick lately so I would be reading them quickly.

We must convert others to Giles/Ethan. ;-)

Thanks, that's so sweet. And, you write brilliant stories. I'm still in awe of that one where Xander's making the list. Plus your recs are awesome. I just went back and saw the sparrow2000 recs you posted. Every one excellent although it is difficult to go wrong with sparrow2000.

Hello...I'm out here and I think you're pretty awesome to start of with for taking part in the challenge and making it such a success!

We don't share any fandoms so probably haven't met before this challenge so, Hi :)

*Hugs*

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

I just noticed I didn't respond. Hi right back at you. *hugs*

[fire_juggler]

You are so sweet to go about sprinkling love on so many people’s journals! People like you are one of the things that makes fandom such a special place. ♥

((also, I love that you have a haiku tag!!! Haiku is LOVE))

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you. You're so sweet.

Gosh, it's been ages since I've written haiku. I want to get back into the poetry though.

[angelus2hot]

Hi, we don't know each other but I just wanted to pop in and say that I think you're awesome!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you. That's so sweet.

[lucifuge-5.livejournal.com]

Hi! Dropping by to tell you that I think you're made of WIN! \o/!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks. Aren't you sweet.

[punch-kicker15.livejournal.com]

Hiya! I love the range of the work you do. Everything from uberdarkfic to light comedy.

Your recs are similarly eclectic and I love your enthusiasm for spreading the word about great fics.

You're super-nifty and I'm glad you're part of the BtVS fandom.

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

I missed this message. I don't know how.

Wow, thanks for saying such sweet things about me!

[punch-kicker15.livejournal.com]

Oh, no worries. Livejournal's comment notifications have been kind of wonky for a while now. Glad you eventually found it. :)

The best thing about the Snowflake Challenge is that it really never ends!

Someone else initially misinterpreted the challenge like you did, so don't feel bad. Still, putting yourself out on a limb like this is hard, and you should be proud of yourself for doing it!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
