fandom snowflake challenge #01

[deerna]

challenge #1: in your own space, introduce yourself!

hi i’m deerna, a twenty-something queer gremlin who writes for a living and also for fun. i’ve tried to do the snowflake thing on pillowfort last year because i thought i was going to be more active on that platform, but then i started posting a little more often on dreamwidth so i thought of doing the challenge on here instead.

for challenge #01 i updated my intro/sticky post. i joined the witcher fandom a year ago and it doesn’t look like i’m going anywhere, so i added a paragraph about it. if you're wondering about it, the #a just death thing (like my main icon) is about dirk strider (homestuck epilogues).

if you want to know more about me you can also read my fandom recap and my writing recap from 2020, that i just posted. most of my personal posts are locked but i’m not fussy about adding people; just say hi under the sticky post so i know who you are.

When we get to the rec's challenge, I'd love to hear some Witcher recommendations! I have only watched the Netflix show and loved it, but I understand that barely scratched the surface.

[deerna]

Ohh I'll be happy to!! Let me know if you have specific preferences!

As far as I'm concerned, the Netflix show was really fun - but you're right in saying that it's just a little taste of the "real thing"! Especially because in both the books and the games Geralt and Jaskier's characterization is quite different (and many book/game fans have been vocal in their displeasure about that...)

[seleneheart]

I'll take Geralt/Jaskier recs all day!

Although I'm good with Gen stuff too.

Good good good, my poison of choice. I did compile a couple reclists here and here (with Geralt as a focus, so check the pairing before diving in) on my writing journal back in may, but I definitely read an unholy amount of fic in the meanwhile so I'll get back to you haha.
