Snowflake Challenge Number Two

Challenge #2

In your own space, talk about your fannish history.



When I first became a member of LiveJournal, I mostly blog about what was going on in my life and taking silly little quizzes. I was reading the Harry Potter series at the time and found myself looking into communities about Harry Potter. I emerged myself into the world of fanfiction and the Harry Potter fandom as a reader.

Sadly, I took a break from the site and was not using it as often and returned after a few years. I realized the authors I liked and read for Harry Potter were now writing about the tv show Supernatural. I loved the show from the get-go and started reading all the stories in the SPN fandom. For a long while, I just read the wonderful stories and started making friends by commenting on their stories. A friend of mine encouraged me to give creative writing a try and see what happens. I did and I have improved over time, but I still have a lot to learn. I’m grateful to all the betas I’ve used to help my stories get better and I’m sorry that it took until now for me to even understand what you were saying each and every time. My goal will always be to improve my writing skills and to always post no matter what. To write what you know and what makes you happy. I’m hoping to give some new things a try. I’ve gone to conventions and met other fans of the show and even meet a handful of friends from LJ at some conventions along the way. These friendships have helped show me who I am without ever knowing I needed it in my life. Thank you!!!

The Start To A New Beginning

Title: The Start To A New Beginning
Author: Yonkyu
Beta: spiralicious - jdl71
Alpha: deanshot1 - kiramaru7 - vexed_wench
World: Lantana
Location(s): Stokesia (yonkyu), Saint Mikhailsburg (kiramaru7), Riga (yonkyu)
Character(s): Wilfred Balodis, Zigor (the pirate)
Prompt: Introduction of new characters
Summary: Wilfred was a young man looking for his path in life when a natural disaster destroyed his home and killing his parents. He packed up his belongings that survived the disaster, including his dad’s special coin. Wilfred made his way across the unfamiliar territory to the land he heard about through stories when he met a pirate. The pirate taught him how to be an Antiquarian and how to make deals with antique items to make a living. After five years of mentoring with the pirate and finally arriving at their dream location, the pirate passed away. Heartbroken over his loss and grief, Wilfred traveled to a new land, Lantana. A place near a beautiful river and a shoreline of hidden treasure to be discovered. Despite his loss, his passion for coins kept him going, and he loved trading coins with others that came to his market.
A/N: I wanted to write and post more here and I wrote this little fic for my writing class. I’ve been wanting to introduce some new characters and locations in my land of Lantana and I hope I did that. Thanks to kiramaru7 for letting me go through your land and creating a tavern to get by and answering my questions. Thanks to my betas for sticking with me and listening to me vent along the way. Thanks to my alpha readers and cheerleaders for the love and support. Thank you to all who helped make this fic what it is. All remaining mistakes are my own. Cross-posted at madrona_project
