A quick Snowflake Challenge post

[dolorosa_12]

I'm dealing with the dual challenges of a non-functioning fridge, and problems with the boiler (ah, the joys of home ownership), so I'm kind of short on brain space at the moment. For this reason, today's response to the snowflake_challenge prompt will be fairly short. The prompt in question is:

In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, a gift of your time to the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.



This might sound weird, but I'm proud of my comments and conversation in the spaces that I care about.

I don't think this is a new skill developed in 2021, but it's certainly a skill I maintained. I commented on every fic I read, and made a particular point of leaving comments on a large number of works in the Yuletide and Madness collections. In addition, I think I did a good job of contributing to and sustaining a good comment culture in my corner of Dreamwidth. It's important to me to have online fannish spaces where conversations move more slowly, and where people have the space to take a breath and come back to threads when they feel ready and interested, rather than diving into an overwhelming stream of real-time conversation, and I like to think that I've continued to do my part in making that happen.
