The Whatnot of TJ

Day 15

Talk about why you participated in Snowflake &/or what you got out of it.


This year as a mod was INSANE, but it could have been SO MUCH WORSE. When we sat down to start planning the event, there were only like 4 of us? Maybe 6?

Not nearly enough, not even for a normal year. This was not a normal year. Thank God and all that is good in the world that more volunteers stepped in, because seriously? You guys were AWESOME! There were so many people participating, some of you for the first time. You were talking to each other, reading each others posts and becoming friends and I LOVED it!

But for me personally... I always felt like I was barely keeping up. There were so many conversations I saw, but didn't have time to join, so many friendships starting that filled me with joy as I hovered briefly on the periphery.

Then, a couple days ago on Twitter, someone said something like, "Hurry, you only have 15 days to do the Challenge" and I responded that the Challenge went on indefinitely, we just stop telling you what to do after the 15th day. ;) I needed that reminder too. It doesn't matter if I didn't get to DO ALL THE THINGS in this 15 days. Those Happy Places and fic/community recs are still going to be there tomorrow and the next day, those thinky fandom thoughts and challenges are still going to be there... and so am I.

I'm bringing you all with me into 2019!
