Snowflake Challenge #3 - Pimp Your Favorite Communities, Fests or Challenges

Challenge #3 - Pimp Your Favorite Communities, Fests or Challenges! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

First and foremost: Twisting the Hellmouth, my original gateway into all of the above. The "Pit of Voles" was the first place I ever posted fic, but TtH was my first real fandom home. I don't post there often anymore, but I do still make an effort to at least participate in the August Fic-a-Day Challenge every year.

Most of my other current participation is in various fic exchanges and fests on DW and AO3. For awhile, I did a lot of big bangs, and played in a couple of weekly episode tag comms (for Eureka and Person of Interest), but then RL got busier. In the last few years, I've taken part mostly in the following, some of them more regularly than others:

het_bigbang - Het Big Bang
iddyiddybangbang - Iddy Iddy Bang Bang
fignewton's Stargate SG-1 Alphabet Soup anthologies
chocolateboxcomm - Chocolate Box Exchange
fandom5k - Fandom 5k Exchange
nightonficmountain - Night on Fic Moutain Exchange
not_primetime - Not Ready for Prime Time Exchange
circle_of_friends - Circle of Friends Remix
fandomgrowthexchange - Fandom Growth Exchange
auexchange - Alternate Universe Exchange
intoabar - Ficathon Goes Into a Bar
hetswap - Hetswap Exchange
multifandomdrabble - Multifandom Drabble Exchange
trickortreatex - Trick or Treat Exchange
shipoween - Halloween Ship Exchange
yuletide_admin - Yuletide Exchange

Other than that ... I do a lot of reading, but not much participation. Full time job + other RL commitments make it hard to sustain involvement. But we'll see what I get up to this year. :)

This is a great list of comms. A lot of great exchanges on there ♥

I'll have to skim other peoples' lists and see if I find more interesting ones. :)

Comms! I haven't really found a niche for myself on DW with comms. So much of fandom is scattered to twitter, tumblr, and now pillowfort and who knows what else.

(I need a "stoic leading man who respects the women in his life and the participants talk about the women at least as much as they talk about that leading man" comm.)

If you find one, do let me know? :) I used to participate in discussions more, but it's been awhile, and I wouldn't begin to know where to look anymore!

What an excellent list! I admit, I have only paid passing attention to exchanges over the past several years. It's been difficult enough getting back into the swing of posting/commenting after being away from journal platforms. But there are SO MANY interesting exchanges/challenges being shared this snowflake. Thank you for being part of that!

You're welcome. I have the opposite problem; I've been participating mostly in exchanges, not posting/commenting otherwise. :)
