Photograph of a young Asian girl using a manual typewriter in an office and looking very serious as she stares straight into the camera. Her black hair is slicked into a low ponytail and her round glasses are so big they extend past her face. She's wearing a shirt and tie and an adult-sized yellow blazer that fits her like a dress, almost as if she has been shrunk. Text, in a typewriter font: Crack Treated Seriously, at Fancake.

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

I have 3 cats (one very old) and a dog. I also share property with a horse, but he isn't really mine.

On the subject of pets in fandom, I really think animals can add a lot of interest and personality to a story. I'd like to particularly single out All Creatures Great and Small, the current tv show, the 1978 version (which I confess I prefer), and the books by James Herriot. Really wonderful stuff!

Introduction Post * Meet The Mods Post * Challenge #1

Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time, or go back and do challenges you've missed.

Pets! We know them, we probably have positive associations with at least one type of pet, and they've appeared in our creative endeavors since time immemorial. Considering that, we felt that a challenge revolving around them would be appropriate.

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Also, feel free to entice engagement by giving us a preview of what your post covers.

I am *checks notes* FORTY hours into DA2, and I feel so bad about the choices I made for my Hawke lmao

FOR CONTEXT, I'm playing as the "default Hawke" that appears in the base World State of Inquisition (Mage!Hawke with the default look) (Why I did this was because I played Inquisition first and it feels weird to make a different Hawke) So, yeah, Bethany dies to the ogre, and we get sibling rivalry with Carver--which I greatly enjoyed. Yes, he can be an ass, but he's also ride-or-die.

So, uh, end of act one. Guess who decided to ignore Ma's concerns in favor of respecting Carver's decisions of going to the Deep Roads. Guess who didn't reload their save when the framing device kicks in and has Varric lament to Cassandra that "He wouldn't have continued with what was to come with what happened to his brother."

(I mean, I did scream, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, VARRIC?")

Yeah...Ma was absolutely distraught when she learned Carver died because of Blight sickness. (I originally thought it was lyrium poisoning since he was a non-mage, but yeah...)

Jump to Act 2 when the serial killer plot strikes and white lilies are sent to Ma.

Yeah...accidentally made Hawke the last of his name in five years. :')

In my cannon, I'm adding an extra scene where Merrill checks in on him since he's become a brother-figure for her and knows what it's like to be suddenly alone. I'll probably write something for it.

The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

Why are introductions always the hardest part?

I'm

malinaldarose. I have been online since the early '90s in varous guises. I am currently in my late 50s, which makes me an Authentic Fandom Old, especially if one counts that my first fic was written...some forty-five years ago. (It was original flavor The Tomorrow People. I also crossed original Star Trek with Doctor Who (the...fourth Doctor, if I recall correctly).) (No, I'm never going to share any of it.) I live in western NYS, about a mile from where I was born. It's rather snowy here at the moment. I live with two black cats. I love chocolate. No matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to acquire a taste for tea. This is something of a disappointment to me, since my visions of my future always involve a steaming cup of tea.

I read mainly fantasy, with the occasional sci fi, cozy mystery, or autobiography. I am usually behind on TV series and movies, because I don't have cable anymore (too expensive). I'm still catching up on '90s and early '00s stuff! (Thank goodness for DVDs and streaming.) The only thing I'm usually up to date on is Doctor Who. (Capaldi is my current favorite Doctor; my favorite Companions are Sarah Jane and Donna Noble. When I was a kid, my favorite Doctor was Peter Davison and my favorite Companion...was probably still Sarah Jane.) I'm a Trekkie from way back -- my favorite episode first aired the day after I was born, and I got into the show when I was in junior high or thereabouts.

I am currently learning French on Duolingo (over a 1,000-day streak) and beginning to wonder if there is anyone in town with whom I could practice speaking. I was learning German, right up to the point where I realized that I was going to need more than Duolingo could give me, and stopped to focus on French, which I already had a grounding in, since I studied it in college. (Which is to say that I crammed four years into two and a half because I changed my major in my junior year.) I would actually kind of like to start a local language club, but am not sure how to go about doing it.

This will be my third or fourth Snowflake Challenge. I'm doing it mainly because it's fun...and that's pretty much what I'm hoping to gain from it. Just some fun. And meeting fun new people, of course.

(Also, I like using the old banners from previous Challenges.)

The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

~~This is totally an excuse for me to make a new sticky~~

Hello, my name is Stars or Glittering or Lune!

My goals for this challenge are to use it as a way to make more friends on Dreamwidth, write more structured posts (I do a lot of silly rambling on whatever has taken my fancy), and hopefully use it as an excuse to share more of my hobbies (writing, sewing, crocheting, ttrpgs).

Current obsessions include Dragon Age. My enjoyment of Baldur's Gate 3 (and friendly peer pressure--thanks, L!!) caused me to pick up Dragon Age: Inquisition for cheap from a local game store. About one hundred hours in, I decided it would be cool to play the earlier games, so I dusted off my digital copy of Dragon Age: Origins I got from a steam sale forever ago, but never got around to playing. Now, over a month later, I've sunk another hundred hours into both Origins, Awakening, and the rest of the DLCs, and bought both DA2 and Veilguard. I'm deep into Act 2 of the second game, and I'm having a blast despite it being the black sheep of the family. I made an initial first impressions post, and it definitely deserves a follow-up now that I've gotten pretty far. The TLDR; I really love the characters and role playing my Hawke has been really funny.

I'm currently working on a play through of A Thousand Year Old Vampire, which has been a blast. It's backstory for one of my background antagonists for a story I've been toying with for a while. She's horrible, and I love her.

Current crochet projects include a kitsune I've been working on for ages for a friend of mine. The pattern is from this book. I've also finished a dinosaur for a family member using leftover yarn and scraps from my sewing project. It was incredibly serendipitous I had the exact colors she liked, and she absolutely loved it.

Writing-wise, I'm working on a...lot of things. My muse likes to be an asshole sometimes. IIRC, Ray Bradbury had a cute little essay waxing poetic on how muses are a fickle and skittish thing. Ten years after reading that, I'm still confident in my response that that idea is bullshit. Mine is fickle, but aggressive as hell. Think overcaffinated fairy with one of those squeaky toy hammers.
