The weekly chat posts are intended for just that, chatting among each other. What are you currently watching? Reading? What actor/idol are you currently following? What are you looking forward to? Are you busy writing, creating art? Or did you have no time at all for anything, and are bemoaning that fact?

Whatever it is, talk to us about it here. Tell us what you liked or didn't like, and if you want to talk about spoilery things, please hide them under either of these codes:
<b>Highlight for spoilers!</b> *<span style="background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFFFFF">Write your spoilery text here.</span>* or <details> <summary>Write a non-spoilery summary of what's hidden under the arrow here.</summary> Write your spoilery text here. </details>

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page

Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!

I'm unfortunately drawing a blank for this one. Recommending stuff has always been a struggle, unless I'm given really specific criteria to stick with.

For now, I think I'll just recommend the HTML to Markdown website. These days I prefer coding my DW entries in Markdown which means if I want to use the AO3- or SqWA-generated fic blurbs when posting my fic on DW, I have to recode it from HTML to Markdown. And posting my fic to my fanworks community also means making a new version formatted using Markdown.

But using this site, I just copy-paste the HTML formatted stuff from AO3/SqWA and it generates a Markdown version that I can use on DW. (I know HTML still works perfectly fine on DW, it's just my brain being annoying for the sake of "You have to be consistent with the format you use on one site!" 😅)

Day 1 * Day 2 * Day 3

I've created collections for this on all public multifandom archives! I thought I had included them.. whoops. They're in our sticky now. I also added guidelines for tagging and made any member capable of tag creation.

I love seeing what people are creating so far! Thank you!

I haven't had a lot of time for the Snowflake Challenge (or little else) since the year begun, but I wanted to dedicate a moment to it this weekend, at least. Skipping over #3 for now...

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom.
Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

I've had too many pets growing up to post them here without forgetting some, likely. Mainly dogs, and ferrets, but also birds, wild rabbits rescued and released back, cats we took care of due to various circumstances but couldn't keep because my father is allergic... Some wounded birds we also kept until they healed. A few days ago while I was at my parents' I thought I might end up adding another one to the list LOL, but after a couple hours the little thing managed to fly again (it had crashed against my window LOL).

Dogs have always been my favourite pet to have though. The fun you can have with them is unparalleled. And my two favourite fictional pets are dogs, as well: Ace in Batman Beyond, and Bear in Person of Interest. And I suppose they have quite a bit in common: older dogs with a harsh past taken in by a gruff man LOL. If you haven't watched it, I especially recommend the episode "Ace in the Hole" from Batman Beyond, if you want to get some of those Dog Film Feelings in under 30 minutes. 

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page
Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!

I am going to be lazy, and link back to all I recommended for rec-cember last month :P

I posted four master lists (+ a bonus mini-list on the last day of December). Each included fanfiction, fanart, and meta analysis, with one fandom being the focus but with plenty of random recs of each category for other fandoms. I truly recommend checking them out!

• Recs for The Murderbot Diaries. The bonus include a Barbie/Dracula crossover you won't regret taking a look at. Crack taken seriously at its finest. 
• Recs for The Locked Tomb. Speaking as someone who's really not into modern AUs, please do check out the abortion story.
• Recs for Black Sails. It was great to have an excuse revisit this fandom and catch up on my to-read list for it :P. Make sure to check the fanart!
• Recs for the DCU. It's a huge fandom, which means so times you have to really dig to find some gems, so I saved you the trouble :P. The extras include one of my favourite fics read last year, a sickening post-Endgame one-shot focused on Steve and Peggy.

The last mini-list was basically focused on fanvids (half of them from Black Sails), with a few extra recs (one Murderbot fanart, a couple Yuletide fics from Carmilla and Hitchcock's Rope) that didn't make it to the other lists due to timing. 

I think between the fic/art/meta etc. and the variety of fandoms there'll be something for everyone in them.

A sampling of my favourite singers/bands: Loreena Mckennit, Dar Williams, Vienna Teng, Within Temptation, XG, etc.
