Snowflake Challenge 5: In Every Possible Way
Talk about what has improved in your life thanks to fandom. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Ironically, I had "Dreams" by the Cranberries in my head right before seeing this prompt. Make of that what you will.
- Over the last 25 years (...holy shit), I met a lot of people who left a deep impact on me. Some are still friends, some have gone their own way, some are somewhere in between. Either way, I'm glad I met them.
- I traveled to places I may never have been to.
- I met people from all around the world, learned a lot of new perspectives, and continue to do both.
- Writing fanfiction improved my writing and helped me gain clarity on the kinds of stories I like writing.
- I discovered Buffy, Firefly, and Doctor Who, and Our Flag Means Death much later on. :) I suppose those weren't really life-changing, but those shows do mean a lot to me.
- Going back to my humble beginnings, I think fandom was a godsend in high school specifically. I used to say that I wasn't really in any activities, but I was. It was fandom instead of marching band or cheerleading. Fandom was the thing that I couldn't wait to get to every day after school.

I really relate to this. I'm glad fanfiction was able to do this for you too! I personally find that it's much easier to experiment with writing this way. It feels more low-pressure for me.
