Fandom Snowflake Challenge

[dragonyphoenix]

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.

Ah, the dreaded "tell the world how wonderful you are" challenge.

I think outside the box. When faced with a prompt of BtVS episode titles, I wrote Dr. Seuss version of three episodes. In response to a remix challenge, I wrote The Man, a fic that is meta on Hollywood, fanddom, gender roles. When whichclothes knitted a couple of yarn Spikes, I came up with the idea of a series of stories about Yarn!Spike.

And, wow, I really am awful at bragging.

I am also generous. I'm writing Shanshu as a get-will fic for pickamix. (Note: if anyone missed it, she has a not dead post. Victim of a nasty, nasty hoax.) I'm writing In a Corner of my Soul because Red Satin Doll wanted a Giles as the big bad story. AndI created the ficamix community as a gathering place for get-well fics for pickamix.

Okay, I'm going to get really braggy here. While I have not read the comics version of how Giles is brought back to life as a twelve year old, my version is way better.

I apparently have massive mojo because I wrote these two stories to prompt Lit Gal to continue her Kin of the Soul story and then she did.

And finally I, surprisingly, wrote this amazing Babylon 5 story.

Actually, this meme is to let other people love you, but I love that you already love yourself. Stay fabulous!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Ooops, I completely misread that. *blushes*

[aadler]

I can’t even remember what it was that first acquainted me with you — probably you commented on something of mine — but it was enough that I began following your own work. You always have an original perspective, and you cover a lot of the background possibilities that have inspired so many of my own stories. (And, yes, “The Man” remains a continuing treat.)

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I also don't recall how we met. I'm so glad you enjoy "The Man". ;-)

and I think that's what's so wonderful about BtVS, all the background perspectives that we can play with. *huge grin*

Some driveby love from a total stranger!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you. That's so sweet!

[starbuckssue.livejournal.com]

Wow, you really do sound pretty awesome and the simple fact that you're taking part in what I think is the hardest challenge makes you an amazing person.

*Hugs*

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Well, if I had realized I was supposed to sit back and wait for love, it would have been much more difficult! *huge grin*

*Hugs*

I absolutely agree that you are talented and generous. I have appreciated what you've done to support pickamix and I also hope her hoax problem can be resolved very soon.

I also want to point out that you're funny and I enjoy the music you shared with us during the holiday season.

Glad we finally made the LJ friend connection happen!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you. And I'm glad you enjoyed the music. I appreciated you taking the time to comment on them. I'm glad we're friends too!

Thank you, hon. You are awesome.

I don't know who the two guys are in your header banner, but I love the effect.

You write stuff and you're active in your fandom. And you posted in response to maybe the hardest one of the individual challenges that form the overall Snowflake Challenge. Makes you amazingly awesome

The two guys are characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Rupert Giles, Buffy's Watcher, and Ethan Rayne. I'm glad you like the photo. I thought it was awesome too. It's by katekat1010 (katekat1010.livejournal.com) and the page as a whole was put together by pickamix (http://pickamix.livejournal.com).

Hey, you responded to the hard challenge as well, so go you!

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

So very awesome! ♥

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *huge grin*

[rbfvid.livejournal.com]

You are extraordinary!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

I'm extraordinary? You're the one who had that whole brilliant kitty fandom going.

[rbfvid.livejournal.com]

The biggest advantage of buffy - you can find a lot of cats under this tag =) I never realized it's such a popular pet name before I got into fandom...

Dropping off some love! ♥
