Snowflake Challenge Day 1 & 2

[gracerene]

Challenge #1: In your own space, introduce yourself!

*waves hello*

I'm Grace! You can find me:
gracerene
gracerene09

I'm a multi-fandom, multi-shipper, but my first and primary fandom is Harry Potter, and my OTP is definitely Drarry! I've been active in fandom for over 7 years, lurking for a bit longer. I first started out as a reccer, which is still something I very much enjoy doing. You can find a bunch of my rec lists across a broad variety of fandoms here!

In addition to reccing, I'm also a (fairly prolific) writer! All of my fics can be found on my AO3, linked above! I mostly write in the HP fandom (though I've been known to dabble in others!) and I write a lot of Draco/Harry fic, though I also post quite a lot of rare pairs. Mostly slash, though, and mostly explicit. :D

I've also done my share of modding throughout the years, specifically for hp_crossenfest, hp_nextgen_fest, & hd_erised! I've also modded harrydracobang which so far has only run once, though we might be bringing it back for 2021.

Challenge #2: In your own space, talk about your fannish history.

If you want to read my long winding post about my fannish origin story, you can find it here (post is f-locked). It's not a complete history, really just how I got started, but I think it does the job and I posted it 6 months ago, so it's still pretty relevant. :D

Ooooh I don't think I've read your fandom origin story! Scooting over there now <3

[gracerene]

Haha, enjoy? ;)

[malenkayacherepakha]

I wandered over to read your origin story and it's so interesting to see all the different ways people found fandom and started to get involved - although I love that so many people find fandom and then immediately get caught up in consuming all the fic haha

[gracerene]

Yes, I find fannish origin stories super fascinating!

[walgesang]

I'm glad I checked that post because I almost repeated the same comment verbatim! :D

[gracerene]

LOL

i absolutely LOVE your ficrecs. sometimes i just go to look at them to get a little happy and i love so much the appreciation and love you have for these creations and the thought you put into your words!! and bonus, recs for fics!!

[gracerene]

Aww, thank you so much, lovely!

[kelly_chambliss]

Thanks for linking to your origin story! I always love reading people's fandom experiences.

Reccing has become a lost art over the last few years, and I miss it. I found a lot of great stuff that way. It's very generous of people to maintain lists.

[gracerene]

Yes, I've definitely noticed the decrease in recs in the past few years and it does make me sad, as I've also found a lot of amazing stuff that way!

Hi! Thanks for joining us in Snowflake! You've written a few stories in fandoms of interest to me so I've bookmarked your AO3 page for later. Thanks!

[gracerene]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy! <3
