Snowflake Challenge-Day 4

[ceitfianna]

This is going to be a short entry as the way this snowflake_challenge is set up, there's not a lot to write here.

Day Four


Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"

It doesn't have to be anything complex - it can be feedback for a fanwork or discussing something you might have in common or even simply admiring their icon. The point is to reach out to someone you normally wouldn't and connect with them, even if it's only for the briefest moment.

I like the idea of this is and its something that I do a lot during Yuletide, where if I like a fic I leave Kudos and a comment. This is because I find comments one of my favorites parts of writing, no matter how small or long they are as it shows someone cares enough to interact with my work. Some of this also comes from the fact that when I first started putting my fic online, it was only on my journal and pretty much only related to Milliways. So comments are key, because its not possible to really leave Kudos on a journal. Also through Milliways was where my flist first began to grow as I learned more of the wonderful people I was writing with.

For this challenge, I commented on a new person on my flist's Snowflake Challenge, who also wrote for me for Yuletide. Its wonderful to have this challenge around Yuletide when new friends appear and this is a good way to understand their creative process better.

I love your icon.

[just_ann_now]

Thank you! It's by the mosaic artist Helen Bodycomb (whose website, alas, seems to be down now.) The icon was made by illuminating_dragon, years ago, and is my default icon most of the year, and also my avatar on a couple other websites, including Facebook (because I'm not a big fan of pictures of myself).

Its beautiful. I'm the same way in terms of icons for various social media. I'm not actually on Facebook, but on Twitter, Tumblr and here, if an icon is of a face, its never mine.
