[Fandom Snowflake Challenge] Day 1 - Why participate?

[dreamwriters]

Day 1

In your own space, talk about why you're participating in Snowflake and, if you’ve participated in the past, how the challenge has affected you. What drew you to it? What did you take away from it? What do you hope to accomplish this year?
I participated a few years ago. I enjoyed talking about my fannish past and wishes that time.

I decided to participate this year because:
(A) I'd like more fannish followers,
(B) it's neat to find out what other fannish stuff is out there (I always am on the look out for new-to-me fandom recs),
and (C) honestly I'm also looking for betas too (for both fanfic things and original fiction things).
