Challenge #1: In your own space, update your fandom information.
*checks notes* Well, I still low-key like Miraculous and Kingdom Hearts and FFXIV and probably always will, I've kinda lost interest in Cookie Run, I picked up Tales of Symphonia again and am obsessed with that, I finished Terraria and ran through (what currently exists of) Calamity and they don't consume my entire mind anymore.

Oh, and I've been playing Noita a lot. I don't think that game has a "fandom" the way a lot of other things do, though. It has four fics on AO3 and one of them is the obligatory Parahumans crossover. Is there anything that fandom hasn't crossed over with yet?

Challenge #4: In your own space, add something to your fandom’s canon.

We almost skipped this one because we couldn't think of anything, but y'know what? FFXIV still deserves a Kingdom Hearts crossover event.

5 is gonna be a bit tougher; the overlap between "places that are popular in the modern web" and "places I can fucking function at all" consists of pretty much just Discord servers, and I'd rather list things people can actually access... well, there's also Tumblr, but that's too big to work.

Challenge: Scream Into the Void. Get it all out.

Miraculous fandom quit treating fictional characters like artists you're trying to get cancelled on Twitter challenge (impossible)

And I could swear the Cookie Run fandom has the worlds biggest hateboner for "proshippers"... )

Yeah, it's only two items. We really don't get pissed off about much. (*cut expanders share a private laugh at the expense of cut skippers*)

Today's snowflake challenge: write a promo, manifesto or primer for your fave character, ship or fandom.

Favorites are fake. Here's what we're gonna tell ya. Y'know that cringy fandom with hundreds of silly kids making self-insert Mary Sue OCs? ("Which one?" There are several, pick whichever one you just thought about. Kingdom Hearts used to be the big one. We originally got into Kingdom Hearts because of that fandom. But we're jumping ahead now.)

Get into that fandom. Make your unnecessarily overpowered self-insert sona, have them smooch that character you simp for (or pine over them from afar if that's more your style).

The thing about all that "cringy" stuff is......... it's fun. That's why kids like it so much. And you might find out what's so damn great about the source material. (And even if you don't, you can do it again with something else you like.)

... the ship we're manifestoing for here is "Your Self-Insert / Your Favorite Character". Totally didn't ramble on a complete tangent and need to somehow clumsily shoehorn it back into the prompt at the end. This was definitely entirely intentional.

  • Transformative Works Policy: If you're a person, you can do what you want. If you're a corporation... what are you doing here.
  • Current Passion At the moment, it's Terraria that has an iron grip on our attention.
  • Where to Find Me: Honestly, right here on Dreamwidth is probably most reliable -- even if it looks like we've been inactive for ages, we check our reading list every day. But there's also tumblr [tumblr.com profile] wingedcatgirl  and of course our cube.
  • Master List: Yeah, it'd be a good idea to make one of those for sure.
  • Anything Else: I'm still gay and don't go to bed on time.
The official challenge is to make sure our paratext is up to date. The sticky already didn't list everyone in the system, since we wait to let people make their own intros, so that's not that big a deal. But a new headmate did drop relatively recently and it never occurred to her to introduce herself on this site, so she'll be doing that momentarily.

... We'll also be updating my name field because I've gotten over my awkwardness of being the only one with lots of names lololo

The Murderverse has gotten a lot quieter over the past year. In all of 2022, only eight games started. Least none of them got abruptly cancelled; that happened a lot in 2021.

Uhhhh cats. meow.

In your own space, set some goals for the coming year.
Some years that'd be difficult task, but this year I've got some fairly obvious goals to work towards: Finish Tales of Many, get back to writing Beyond the Borders, do some more development on Rock Floating in Space Game, and write more original fiction.

Also don't die. That'll be slightly harder than usual this year what with pandemics and all. Hopefully only slightly.

In your own space, update your fandom information!
Those of you who were here last year might recall our 2021 entry, in which I said "my enduring interests seem to be Puyo Puyo, The World Ends with You, Kingdom Hearts and FFXIV". Sure enough all of those interests have endured, but we can also add one to the list - I'm now super into Miraculous Ladybug. 🥳

The Murderverse is still a thing too, though we've moved it to another site - trope site isn't really for big roleplay projects.

Goals for 2021:
  • At least one chapter (ideally more) of A Decent Self-Insert, Probably
  • Finish outlining Beyond the Borders and begin posting part 2
  • Work on something original to the point that I can start posting it (tbh if i get just this done I'll be a lot less bothered about failing any of the others)
  • After a chat last night, we've got a cool Murderverse darkfic idea; remember that and get it started once Murderfree reaches the divergence point. This might legitimately not happen in 2021.
  • actually fucking do the paperwork for my legal name change, ffs it's been languishing for years
  • get on ADHD meds; we've been working on that but it's been slow going
  • ... clean my room?
We never accomplish all our goals for the year, so we make sure to have several of them to increase the expected number we do accomplish.

We don't post here much, huh. Hopefully this changes that a bit.

I'm Sylvi wingedcatgirl, I meow and I flap. In both the wings sense and the autistic happy stim sense.

I'm trans, which could be described with words like "transfem", "genderflux", and "none gender with left catgirl". Pronouns are currently it/they/she (it changes, though not exactly rapidly), and if you start discourse about it pronouns I will bap you.

I'm also plural (or "we're also plural", both are accurate tbh); most of my headmates are just kinda napping right now but Robin has been out and about a decent amount lately, maybe he'll make a post too.

As for fandom, which is ostensibly the focal point of this challenge, my enduring interests seem to be Puyo Puyo, The World Ends with You, Kingdom Hearts and FFXIV, and I'll just kinda jump from thing to thing a lot when looking at everything else. Mostly I read fanfic but sometimes I also write it. Self-insert-type fic has been my main thing since I was 12. Not super invested in shipping, though I'll occasionally binge on content for a pairing I like.

Lately, though, we've been super into a certain roleplay shared universe being run on the trope site that's also half forum mafia? I guess that's our current special interest. Niche roleplay content that probably nobody outside cares much about. It's fun tho tbh.

Comment policy: Yes. Comment.
Access policy: We'll come up with one as soon as we think of a reason to lock our posts in the first place.
Transformative work policy: All of my stories (FFN, AO3, itchio, and anywhere else) are free for unofficial continuation, spin-offs, rewrites, fan-fanfics, and the like. That means you don't have to even ask me, but I also don't promise any kind of support. (I would appreciate it if you sent me a link so I could read it, though.)

I'll put some friend blogs in this second section, maybe, if that's a thing people want?
