Snowflake Challenge Day 14

Day 14 - In your own space, talk about what you think the future holds for fandom.

Sadly, I think fandom will start to fade out slowly and not be the center of attention. And I know I will most likely be yelled at for it, but I’ve already noticed a decline as it is. And I think the ship wars could increase and the “hate” will continue to spread making writers and artists no longer feel comfortable in their fandom and will move on and leave fandom altogether. I don’t understand why we can’t get along and accept everyone's tastes are different and it’s quite ok that others like certain ships and you don’t. I wish there was more collaboration in fandom as well and the willingness to give credit to those that help others out, like beta readers, alpha readers, artist betas, etc. I just hope that fandom stays for a long time and start to see the beauty in our differences. I want the hate and disgust to go away and learn to be friendly no matter your interest and shipping. So I hope fandom stays and gets stronger in the future and more accepting, but I feel the interest and love of fandoms will decline due to all the hate and disrespectful comments that float around fandom.

Snowflake Challenge Day 15

Day 15 - Talk about why you participated in Snowflake &/or what you got out of it.

I wanted to participate in the Snowflake challenge because I’ve seen it before on LJ and dreamwidth, but I was never able to participate before. When I saw it was happening again, I had to participate in the challenge. And I wanted to get myself out there and meet new people. And it’s a struggle for me to meet new people. I’ve wanted to go back to each post and share my post saying that I completed the challenge, but I get scared and anxious over it. And what I got out of this challenge was sharing a piece of myself with others in fandom and outside of fandom. And it felt great to accomplish a challenge that I set up to do, I have one day left to complete and I will be officially done. It was nice to accomplish a goal I set up for myself and completed!!!
