#1 The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.
Hello 2026. I usually do a few snowflake challenges each year, though rarely all of them. I'm tassos around the interwebs. I'm a writer, sometime vidder, and generally grew up in fandom. These days I'm not writing much fic, which I'm a little sad about, but I've gotten into self-pub original sci-fi books, so that's where my time is spent right now.
I came up watching Farscape and Buffy, the Stargates, and since then about a hundred other fandoms. In 2025, I was into the British crime series Shetland, which has a very lovely slash ship of two middle-aged men co-parenting their daughter. I subsequently read the mysteries the show is based on and they're fun, but not slashy at all. Most recently, I watched Heated Rivalry which is fabulous. Haven't gotten into the fic for it yet.
I'm doing the challenge because I'm not as frequent a poster these days, and it's always a fun celebration of fandom and our community.
