Snowflake Challenge '21 #2: Interact with someone new.
Sunday, January 17th, 2021 03:52 pmI'm going to address this challenge for now with a teaser of a plan.
Since November, I have been slowly savoring an outstanding, new-to-me, novel-length, HL story on the AO3 from, like '07, by someone I don't know. I will be commenting on it to that person as soon as I let it end. It's so good! One of the major characters is Greta (from "The Darkness"), and I have never seen not only anything remotely approaching this good a use of her, but also as good an HL use of any sort of psychic ability (I am not a fan of canon's employment of Cassandra's powers; I like this story much better... so far).
I will recommend the story properly as soon as I let it end.
Commenting on people's stories on the AO3 is the main way I interact with new people these days. Rarely, I reply to someone's comment in the replies of the journal of someone I'm already acquainted with. I should try harder to interact with new-to-me fans!
I don't know how anymore, I think. I'm not in any new fandoms, and I shy away from those I'm near. Old fandoms can't afford to turn on each other like new fandoms -- and, oh the worst, newly-cancelled fandoms, hurting so much -- think they can.
