Challenge #4: Wishlist for fandom
Add me to the absolute chorus of people who miss low-key community spaces for discussion. Dreamwidth is way better suited to that than most other spaces (except maybe discord, but in my experience it tends to move too quickly for me to engage in MUCH discussion). I've found a nice number of friends on here that I talk to in comments on our respective journals, and there are also some pretty active writing communities where people comment back and forth, even if we only share fandom-y stuff in a broad sense, rather than specific fandoms themselves.
And well, Snowflake is one of the events that best fulfills that wish already!
In general (though also personally) I'd love fandom to foster a more feedback-oriented culture again. Sometimes all you want to do is passively enjoy some fic, and I get it. But when comments and kudos and such are the only "payment" a writer gets, it's nice to get that! Sure it's not owed, but it IS nice to feel like you aren't posting to the void.
No real wishlist for me or my stuff - I hate asking for things. :P
