I have been feeling a bit left out because I have been posting fic again recently, but haven't got a single spam bot commenting on my fic, wanting to make art for me :(

But it finally happened!

I posted a Mandalorian h/c fic (quelle surprise) this afternoon, and I just got a comment telling me how much they like the fic and wanting to turn it into a comic "so more manga readers could enjoy it).

I'm finally one of the cool kids!

For some reason I'm always ignored by the spammers and scammers. All my friends on Instagram are getting fake celebrities messaging thems, but I've never got a single fake Pedro Pascal slipping into my DMs.

Seriously, though, this is a PSA to those few people who might not yet have heard of the scammers that are currently targeting AO3 users. What makes them more insidious is that they are not anon and leave comments that seem fairly legit, making it easy to think that they're a real user who has enjoyed your fic. But the tell is that they want you to contact them outside AO3, either via email or Discord, often under the pretense of wanting to make fanart or you fic (or to just give you more feedback). If you get comments like this, do not respond to them, just delete the comment, block and report the user.

I haven't been doing the Snowflake Challenge this year, but the latest challenge popped up on my f-list, and I had to do it.

Challenge #9
Talk about your favorite tropes in media or transformative works. (Feel free to substitute in theme/motif/cliche if "trope" doesn't resonate with you.)

( If you've been following me for any length of time, you know where this is going )

Challebge #3 'Write a love letter to fandom. It might be to fandom in general, to a particular fandom, favourite character, anything at all.
Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it

Dear fandom,

I’m supposed to write you a love letter, but I am kinda stumped this year. The political situation in the US and health issues have conspired to come between us. My imagination seems to have dried up and characters that spoke to me for many years seem to have moved on to greener pastures and maybe just left the galaxy all together. Who could blame them?

I’m hoping to get reacquainted and spend a lot of time with you this year. Maybe I can even find all my old fiction friends and tell some more of their stories again OR maybe I could even meet some new people to write about. I do live to tell a love story/

I guess I should also mention how important the real people in fandom are. I’ve lost touch with many of the folks I’ve met in my various fandoms, so it’s also time to make new friends and look up some of the old ones. Fandom friends have kept me same for a long time and sanity is in short supply these days.

What do you say, fandom? Can we do this? I surely hope so.
