Day 3

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc.) and explain why you love it so much. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I'm late mostly because I couldn't figure what fandom to talk about. Last year I did the fight scene at the beginning of Hannibal season 2... 
And for this year I finally decided to talk about Hunter X Hunter by mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi, which has been my favorite manga ever since I was 13 years old and a friend of my little brother lent us a few books. (Said crafty little brother later got me the first tomes as a birthday present so I would buy the rest... which I did.) To this day I still buy faithfully every new tome when they come out in French, which is not that often. (This incredible hiatus x hiatus chart shows the rhythm of chapter publication over twenty years... 2018 has been the best year since 2010.... which is both a bit depressing and heartening I guess.)

One of the things that explain this enduring love for HxH is that it's actually not the basic shonen it seems to be: a young boy wanting to get stronger to find his father and going on a quest and finding friends along the way... Only Togashi doesn't go the obvious road and isn't interested in drawn-out tournaments or unchecked power-ups.... )


Day 4

Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"


I often comment on fics so the first should be easy, but I'll try to do the second as well with someone I follow and have interacted a bit with, but never did the full introduction thing.
Don't hesitate to introduce yourself in the comments over here if you want to! \o/


Day 5

In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


On DW I love:
[community profile] fancake : a thematic multifandom reccing community that gave me some of my best reads those last years. It got me into reccing fic much more often as well, even if some themes are more my jam than other (I wanted the 'interspecies story' round to never end! ^^).

[community profile] drawesome : a traditional art community that I joined one year and half ago and where I found lovely peoples. They hold challenges every month. :)


[community profile] fictional_fans : is a place for multifandom fans to gather, ask questions or discuss. The idea is that many fandoms don't have the critical mass for a community to stay alive, while a multifandom community may.


I also spend a lot of time on a French writers discord, where we talk about all sorts of things not always related to writing. ^^
