Because it's nice to let people know that we appreciate them.
In the spirit of love memes, this meme is a place to thank someone who's created something you love, or done something kind that you still remember after all this time, or who has made your fandom life (or your life in general!) better in some way.

Snowflake Challenge: Friending Meme
Jan. 31st, 2026 10:13 pmysabetwordsmithsnowflake_challenge is hosting its Friending Meme today. This is one of the best opportunities of the year to make new friends on Dreamwidth. Use the template in that post to comment with your response. You can also copy it onto your own blog, as I've done here. This provides a place for longer conversations if desired, so they don't clog up the main challenge, which typically runs hundreds of comments anyhow.
ysabetwordsmithThe threesentenceficathon starts this Saturday, January 17. Zero pressure comment fic community, where the idea is to write 3 sentence fills for prompts that anyone can post -- the "3 sentences" part is more of a starting point that inevitably leads to creative uses of punctuation. The ficathon is open to new prompts until February 15, but the community is always open to new fills.
