In your own space, create your own challenge. What’s something you want to see more people doing in fandom? Is there something you’ve tried that you think other people would enjoy if they gave it a go? Dare your friends to try it out, and have fun with it. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.





ok, sure!
So, today is another one of those days for me that require every part of comfort and escapism I could find - so let's play Truth or Dare or Headcanon!

Rules are simple (assuming anyone actually wants to play) - someone starts by choosing one of the above. The next person gives them a question/dare/request for specific headcanon.
It can be dares like "record a short message for your followers" or headcanons like "tell us about that time your OTP went camping" - you know, stuff that is fun? And it is totally ok to decline a question etc! It's supposed to be fun!

OK, so - I will go first - and I am ok with either of the three

~~~~~~~~

UNRELATED NOTE:


I owe some people replies, and intend to write them soon!
I t's not been the easiest time, but please know that I treasure your messages, please

For myself - DARE!

Talk about what your OTP would do on their day off.

Okay, if I've understood this correctly I can dare you now?

In which case Analise, your dare is to make an icon featuring a quote or character from your most recent fandom.

I'll have truth or headcanon please.

I never expected to do this, but WOW! I made an icon. I challenge myself to do something new, so I took the dare. I've been obsessed with Hamilton these past few months. This is one of my favorite lines from the musical (and also how I live my life).

ETA: For some reason, the icon isn't showing up the way I want it to. Maybe third time is the charm?

let's see, how about: the main characters of the last two fandoms you made fanworks for run into each other in a bar. how do they get along? did they know each other prior to this meeting?

Ahaha. That would be Sherlock Holmes and Viola from Twelfth Night. TN is Holmes' favourite Shakespeare play, so he knows about her, but not vice versa. Also it would take Viola some time to explain to him that she isn't an actress but in fact the character herself, and Holmes would argue the impossibility of that. She'd probably get him by way of explaining that he's a fictional construct himself once he mentions Watson's stories. Viola would probably find him a bit off putting at first but we all know she can hold her own in a verbal duel, and she'd argue with him just for the sake of it.

I'm cheating because we're friends, but what do the robots do when Tony Stark isn't around?

well, usually he gives them something to do, because otherwise they tend to get into trouble. Tony's not very good at being precise - he likes to tell people to do something, and let them work out how to do it - but he has learned that the 'bots need a little more direction than that. Left to their own devices, they wander around the lab, which runs down their batteries, and sometimes they get into trouble (there was An Incident with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, five 3/4" bolts, a hairdryer, and tony's second backup pair of shoe lifts). If he remembers, and he's been working in the lab, he tells them to sort materials (DUM-E's very good with the metal screws) or clean the work surfaces (U has a special chair-cleaning attachment that it's always very quick to don). Sometimes he tells them to take a break, and then they trundle back to their charging stations for a few hours.

Thanks for letting me know! (And hey, you're on Dreamwidth!). I may check it out in the morning. :)

I know what time it is where you are, so if you haven't slept in a long time, you really ought to get to it :)

Yeah! I assumed the "posted on Dreamwidth" links were a giveaway, but I suppose if you haven't struggles with the posting or issues of contacting people, maybe that has less meaning more easily slips by.

I'm not sure I'll stay there, but for the time, it being more active is amazing for me, I feel so isolated in so many of the fandom spaces I know, between joining late, needing trrigger warnings, not doing the required legwork on Tumblr and so forth - it so good to be bl to just randomly post something not too brilliant and actually get replies from random people sometimes. Ugh, I miss communities/forums/mailing lists. Then again, trolls are so rare when you are just talking with two close friends ;)

As for sleeping - lol, sneaky! Yeah, haven't been getting that much sleep lately

Now that you say that I do notice you've got the "posted on Dreamwidth" links--a few of my mutuals have those at the bottom of their posts, so I guess my brain just automatically filters them out. I'm happy you're finding people to engage with there! So it's really much less dead than LJ? I'm tempted by it for that reason, and because from what I hear the platform is a hell of a lot less buggy. How hard is it to attract attention--do you advertise by posting to comms like on LJ, or how do people find your posts?

I can't rally say - I've only been active there again for about a week - but for then it is all communities (the snowflake thing) - but people are very active there! Maybe after it's done, it will hibernate again, like before - maybe not!

But it's not like tumblr, the tag thing where strangers comment - at least, not that I am awared of .


As fo bugginess - idk either - but it's nice to be able to comment without loading a whole different page and back.... otoh, for me it's less comfortable to have to look up and type the html for every little thing - I don't know the longer one or the less used ones by heart, and there are no buttons for that there (the way it used to be on lj)! (though maybe images/vids yes? idk
