Snowflake Day 14

[jadesfire]

What’s something you want to see more people doing in fandom? Do you love fiber arts and want to see more fannish crafting? Do you want to make at least one fanwork per month? Do you want your friends to leave comments on each fanwork they consume? Or is there something you’ve tried that you think other people would enjoy as well?

Day 14

In your own space, create your own challenge. Whatever your challenge is, and have fun with it!

My first thought was "er....probably not". I've had or given myself the confidence for everything else so far, but for this one, my mind went blank.

My second thought was "it'll be interesting to see what everyone else has come up with!"

Therefore my third thought was "that's my challenge!"

Not necessarily for the comments on today's post, but for any day so far, go comment on someone's post who you haven't spoken to yet. If you can find a post that doesn't have any comments yet, even better! it doesn't have to be anything long or deep - just the little "ooh, cool" comments that I've had this week have been such a boost.

Or just pick the person below you in today's thread - I know I'm guilty of starting at the top and only getting as far as my own comment. But having people randomly drop in and say nice things has been a highlight of the Snowflake Challenge for me, and I'd love to know other people are getting that as well.

Fly, my pretties! Go out there and spread comment-joy! ;D

Of course, my fourth thought was "quick, get this posted before someone else thinks of it"! But you are all welcome to steal it, if you would like :D

That's a kind idea for a challenge too - very 'passing it forward'. :D

[analise010]

This is amazing! Thanks for promoting friendship and joy. :)

[deifire]

This is a great idea! Thank you!

[naye]

Whee! That's a GREAT challenge! Thank you.

[vaysh]

Awesome challenge, and I just did it. :)

[jadesfire]

These two weeks have given me an awful lot, so paying it forward only seems fair :D

[jadesfire]

Well, I got the idea from you guys, so the Snowflake Mods should get at leas half the credit :D

[jadesfire]

I'm usually slow to come up with these sorts of things, but it made me smile as a thought, so I had to share!

Enjoy!

[jadesfire]

There can never be enough happy comments in the world! :D

[jadesfire]

Woot! More joy!

[teigh_corvus]

This is an excellent idea, very much in the Snowflake spirit. Thank you for creating it. <3

[turps]

What a lovely challenge. I know I've been guilty of commenting on early responses and not going back to the later ones. I'm going to change that.

[fadedwings]

This is awesome!

[mekare]

Fantastic idea! I've been trying to do that during this snowflake but there are some days I haven't checked yet.

[kiki_eng]

That's an awesome challenge. :)

[wendelah1]

This is a great challenge. If people start on the last page of each challenge, I bet they'll find comments without responses, apart from one of the mods, perhaps.

[em_kellesvig]

Very cool! \o/

[spikedluv]

Great challenge! Thank you. ♥

[sparrow2000]

This is a lovely challenge and one that I will definitely take up today. Thank you for the great thought.

[smallhobbit]

I promise to comment on the person below me when I finally get round to commenting tonight!

[chanter1944]

This is an excellent idea! :D And you're not the only one who loves the random warm fuzzy comments that pop up on snowflake posts. :D

[solosundance]

I love this :D

[fairyniamh]

:) I've done this a few times today. Thanks for the prompt.

[jadesfire]

I figure anything that makes me smile is worth sharing :) Hopefully people will have fun with it!

[jadesfire]

Yay! Yes, it's not deliberate, it's just that I get busy and forget to go back. Hope you met some lovely new people :)

[jadesfire]

Aw, thanks! I figure the more joy, the better :)

[jadesfire]

I kept up as best I could - there were a lot of posts! - but I think prioritising the ones without comments will make a lot of people happy :)

[jadesfire]

I'm sure you're right! Hopefully this can change some of that :)

[jadesfire]

I was quite pleased with it :) I don't usually have good ideas in time!

[jadesfire]

Yay! More comments for all! :D

[jadesfire]

Hoorah! I love the idea of a chain reaction of commenting :)

[jadesfire]

Hasn't it been awesome? It's the first time I've made it all the way through a Snowflake Challenge, and was totally worth it :)

[jadesfire]

Yay! Me too :)

[jadesfire]

Awesomesauce \o/ I love the idea of more conversations as a result of Snowflake posts :)

[avon7]

I was already doing this - my personal snowflake challenge each year is to comment on at least three different people's posts for each challenge. I try to go to the last comment and choose from that end as I know people posting towards the end of the challenge do get less response. I think your challenge is a great one and would make a fabulous Day 1 challenge for next year.
