Snowflake Challenge 2026: Day 1
Jan. 4th, 2026 08:42 pmAfter thinking about it over the weekend and reading a few posts about it, I've decided to see if I can manage to complete...
Challenge #1
The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.
I've noticed over the last few years that I've been slowly withdrawing from communities and fandoms I was active/interested in, and I've not really had the enthusiasm to do anything creative that I had even 2-3 years ago. I took part in the #MusicAdvent on Bluesky this year, and just about managed to post up each day of my Lego calendar, and that was quietly satisfying; I'm hoping that taking part in the Snowflake challenge as a month-long activity will help get me moving again.
The active fandoms I've been involved with the longest that are still active are BattleTech and vidding - I'm an admin on Sarna.net, the biggest BattleTech wiki out there, and I've been involved helping run the vidding convention VidUKon for every convention from 2011 onwards, although I only make perhaps one vid a year.
The tv shows I've been most interested in over the last few years have largely all been cancelled now; Ted Lasso, Lady Jame, Renegade Nell, Doctor Odyssey, the Wheel of Time, Dead Boy Detectives, The Residence... I'm starting to wonder if I'm the common denominator!
