Challenge #1

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

Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it.

Hi, I'm greenie (or Green, if you want to be formal-polite), and I'm a 47-year-old weirdo who is back once again to play with the Snowflake Challenge!! Wooooo!!

Maybe we can get to know each other a little this month as we skip along the challenges together. (Hopefully, I'm skipping along and not outright skipping any like usual. Forgive me if that happens lol)

I love Snowflake because it gives me things to do and be excited about here on Dreamwidth, which is a place I love but don't spend enough time with.

Also, Snowflake frequently reminds me what's so great about fandom and fannishness to begin with!

I'm on here every day, but I love the extra activity and fannish topics.

You might like the other big events like Three Weeks for Dreamwidth (April 25-May 15) and sunshine_challenge.

Agreed. Fannish 50 has been popular too, and there's also a post for people who put full content on Dreamwidth. They offer lots of nifty things to read. Also coming up is marchmetamatterschallenge for meta.

I've had the Fannish 50 signups open in a tab for a few days while I debate whether or not I want to try to do it. I love the idea of it, but I am the sort to get really down if or when I don't fulfill a 'responsibility' (even when it's low-pressure) I've signed up for. It's hard to weigh that against the fun aspect. :\

Thank you for linking to Sunshine, I'd forgotten about that one!

There's a different post listing many different Writing Challenges. Some are smaller, focusing on one month. allbingo hosts a new fest each month, and the Bingo Card Generator has sizes from 1x1 to 7x7. You might find something more suited to your size needs. 50 is a lot.

I'm happy I could help. :D
