Snowflake Challenge, day 1-3

anemonenI wasn't really going to do this, but it does look fun, so here's me doing the Snowflake Challenge anyway :)
Day 01
In your own space, talk about why you are doing the Fandom Snowflake Challenge? What drew you to it as a participant? What do you hope to accomplish by doing these challenges?
I did this last year, so I wasn't really planning on doing it this year as well, but then the posts seem to be a little different so I changed my mind. I was feeling a bit like I'd fall into some post New Year laziness and this seemed like a good way to keep up posting. It also seems like a good way of thinking through my fandom involvement and all the things I enjoy so much with spending time in fandom.
Day 2
In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.
Oh, a difficult one!
1) The standard one; fic for my fan art! It'd be so much fun reading something like that; seeing how other people interpret the scenes I capture with my drawings.
2) More next gen fic!! Obviously I'm super chuffed by this year with the revival of the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp_nextgen_fest, but the more the merrier? I'd especially love to see some more Al/Scorpius <3
3) Finding more 1d fics like These Inconvenient Fireworks, because that one is seriously one of the best pieces of writing I've ever read!! When I finish it there's this acute sense of loss and a wish to just keep rolling around in the fantastic universe *sighs*
4) Finding out who my Erised MA is, so I can shower them in gratefulness <33333 (I have a few suspicions, and I really can't wait to find out who it is!!)
Day 03
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
*laughs nervously* This feels so awkward... They're all fairly new because I always die a bit inside when I try looking at my older art. But I do quite like these!
Do You Want to See the World (Al/Scorpius)
Why: I do love these to dorks a lot and the potential they represent. I've also enjoyed this silly world travel series a lot (and I do plan on getting back to it!), with the instagrams and stuff. Drawing wise, though, this is my favourite.
Live here in the moment (Draco)
Why: I've quite enjoyed drawing digitally lately, and I'm pretty happy about how this one turned out. I made it for my magnificent Erised-gift (did I mention how much I loved it? The fic, that is).
Roxanne (Um, Roxanne haha)
Why: I've also loved making my portrait series, even though I'm running out of non-obscure characters a bit. But I did like this one. I never thought much about Roxanne, but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
besamislabios suggested that Ashley Moore would fit as her and I agree! I had fun trying to draw her.

And !!!!!! so excited about you doing more of the Al/Scorpius travel series! I think those pictures you did of them traveling are so fun to look at, and I'm glad that you're having a good time drawing them as well.

Haha! I'm glad to hear that! Not sure when exactly it'll happen, but I don't feel like I'm finished with those two yet :)

And these three, I wouldn't even know how to pick a favourite of all you've made - probably my James/Scorpius. Ohh, a fic for that art would be grand! :D
