Day 1

In your own space, talk about why you're participating in Snowflake and, if you’ve participated in the past, how the challenge has affected you. What drew you to it? What did you take away from it? What do you hope to accomplish this year? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I only ever tried to do Snowflake one other year in 2013 and didn't get very far, but I imagine that it must be a good way to start off the new year. You get used to thinking, to articulating your thoughts, posting them for others to see to be entertained by or to engage with, and then the biggest job of all, getting out of your comfort zone and actually trying to talk with others in their space. Scary, I know. But here's a prebuilt audience that want to find other active people to talk to, squee and rant with.

I like that it's so focused on positivity, and folks get optimistic about fandom and this community.


YULETIDE!

I wrote:
Ceasefire
Zorro (TV 1990)
Diego de la Vega & Ignacio de Soto
2000ish words Gen
"If this were play'd upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction."

I had a lot of fun writing, because eventually I just decided the show was ridiculous, I might as well be too. I always preferred Zorro as a trickster, but one whose tricks works because he really is that smart, and one who despite that is humble and kind. If you haven't yet, but have any interest, Zorro by Isabel Allende is fantastic, and I enjoy the author's other work as well!

I received:
Pulling Togeter by A Magiluna Stormwriter
Practical Magic (1998)
Gen
As the holidays roll around, Gillian's odd behavior has Kylie curious about the nature of love and the Owens family curse.

I love this movie, and this fic is a glorious slow breath of love and generational family business.

Thank you so much, Yuletide partner. And if you're stopping by to stalk me for a treat, I love you too! I'm super easy with this fest, but if you have a question don't be afraid to poke one of the mods to ask me. I like all the ratings and gen or shippy. I tried to list who I ship in each fandom, so just don't pair them with someone else and my little shipper heart will be okay.

Likes/Dislikes: I can't think of any kinks that automatically turn me off. I'm not a big fan of first or second person point of view. I like dialog. I am open to any rating gen to shippy porn. Write something that makes you happy, and I'll be so glad for both of us!

At least the first that I can remember.

Anyone here ever watch the Family Channel back before ABC got their grubby little hands on it? My dad used to record Rin Tin Tin and Zorro for me so we could watch them together whenever it was his weekend to keep me and my older brother. Since I'm not into bestiality, we'll move on to Zorro.

Duncan Regehr played Don Diego de la Vega


otherwise known as el Zorro.



When daggers are pointed at innocent hearts
And muskets are ready to fire
When tyrants ride high and govern with fear
As the forces of evil conspire
Then from out of the night a hero must rise
With courage that even a mask won't disguise
They turn to... the man called Zorro
One who's larger then life and defender of all
Is the man who the people acclaim
He's the one who strikes back for the poor and oppressed
A hero... whose name is Zorro
His name is Zorro


He was so handsome and just. Although, now it's kinda hazy if I wanted to date Zorro, or be Zorro. I always dug on Felipe played by Juan Diego Botto, too. Now I think, hmmm a young ward, can you say slashy? This series had everything, culture, romance, drama, action and adventure. They even had an episode where they met Santa Clause. It taught me that everyone can make a difference whether they wore a mask or not (I still wanted the mask though).
