Prompt 4: Fanwork Recommendations
As thesunshine_challenge continues, we invite everyone to share with others the fanfics, fanart, fanvids, cosplays … anything and everything fannish that you love and wish to share! Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time or go back and do any prompts you've missed!
This prompt may seem pretty self-explanatory, and it may well be, but please consider the following when collecting fanworks to share with us all:
1. Fanworks in this context can mean anything a fan has spent time creating for their beloved fandoms (.gifs and amv’s and cosplay and that tile you painted in your apartment bathroom to look like that fannish thing … don’t let traditional views of what constitutes a fanwork limit you here).
2. You do not need to be a content creator to share fanworks. I’ve seen it mentioned in various places that some people don’t feel as much a part of fandom as those who create content, but fandom exists for ALL fans. Many of us are here to enjoy and spread love and this is your time to shine. We want to see what you’ve found over the years!
3. That said, if you are a creator, then also consider taking this opportunity to self-promote. It can feel awkward for many of us to share our own fanworks and shine lights on them, and if you are one of those folks, please consider this your nudge to step on the podium and be proud of the works you’ve labored over.
Once you’ve finished sharing what you love, leave a comment to this post saying you’ve done it! Include a link to your pages if you feel comfortable doing so. Let everyone know whether you are "Ready for visitors!" or "Lurking for fandom fun".
Most importantly, please check through the comments and go visit new journals, comment on their shiny posts, and maybe make a new friend or two. We encourage everyone to aim to comment on two new journals if they are able (of course, you are welcome to do more!). ♥
