Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 1

[coprime]

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1) The Spring Thaw, a Mushishi fanfic featuring Ginko and Tanyuu in a rather shippy but still ultimately gen sort of way. It is far and away my favorite thing I've ever written (not that I've written all that much). I tried to pour all the love I have for these two into this. Mushishi is such a small fandom, but it really is the fandom of my heart and I think (I hope) my small contribution can stand tall next to the other great fanworks people have created for it.

2) coprime_recs, just the entire thing. I have always been proud of the amount of work that I've put into my recs journal, especially considering it started out on DeadJournal without any metadata beyond the fandom name. I've always thought of myself as a reccer primarily and keep intending to get back into it regularly (although not managing quite yet). However, even if I never rec another thing, I still think there are a wide variety of gems in that journal that I tried to bring to people's attention as best I could.

3) The icon on this post. It's from a panel in Mushishi that I colorized. I will probably always be ridiculously proud of this icon because it took so much work for me to make. I find graphics editing programs very counter-intuitive to use and struggle pretty much every time I try using one. (There is a reason why any icon I make nowadays is simply me cropping, resizing, and adding a border to an image.) I like all my icons, but this one is my favorite. I think it's pretty and, well, it's Mushishi.


...It was surprisingly difficult to write that without adding a lot of hedging.

It is, isn't it? Which is part of the reason behind this particular challenge. You did good, though. :D

Thank you. :)

It's hard but it's an important skill to cultivate, so I appreciate the thought you put into the different challenges.

Found you through snowflake_challenge, and I wanted to say that I think that icon is just lovely! Mushishi is a great show, also :)

[coprime]

Thank you! And Mushishi is the bestest.

As one reccer to another I wanted to wish you good luck with getting back into regular reccing again. (And I found a couple of interesting sounding stories among your old recs so thank you for keeping them around!)

I am so happy to hear that you found some interesting things in those old recs! And from one reccer to another, I have always been pretty amazed at how consistently you update your Pinboard with new stuff. I don't read bandom much anymore, but I like looking at the art you link.

Thank you for your kind words! (Which reminds me that I haven't looked at any bandom art this week. I think I OD on fanart during yuletart :-)

Here via the snowflake challenge, and I am very glad for it because your recs are excellent! And what's more, you have recced LotR fic, which I've been searching for rather desperately these past few days! ^___^ I hope you start reccing again, but even if not your past recs are awesome. :)

Hi! I am glad I could be of some use. :) Lord of the Rings fic is sort of intimidating to wade into, I think, because it is so huge (both the fandom and the canon).
