I’ve been watching people doing the Fandom Snowflake Challenge (![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
snowflake_challenge) with interest. I keep thinking about trying it, but I haven’t been able to find the energy to start. Usually, I find that sort of meme easy, but mostly, when I think about this one, my mind goes blank. I did, however, spend a while yesterday trying to figure out what makes me fannish about a canon. Part of that was trying to figure out what I’m actually fannish about.
Part of that is that I don’t actually have a solid definition of 'fannish.' Is it things I write? Things I read? Things I rewatch/reread often? Things I think about a lot and want to bend into different shapes to see what happens? Actually, now that I think of it, I suspect that that last is the biggest factor. It doesn’t dictate what I love and/or enjoy, but it does dictate what I put on the list below. There are a lot of things I adore and would love to discuss and/or write but usually don’t, and a lot of things I don’t adore but happily write and discuss anyway.
The five fandoms that I’m sure go on that list of yes!-this fandoms are Weiss Kreuz, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Chronicles of Amber, The Pretender, and, oddly, Sky High (which is the only one on the list that I’ve never written). I think they’re not all on the list for the same reasons, though.
Harry Potter and Rurouni Kenshin are on a related list in as much as each has given me one ginormous fic idea that I’ve been chipping away at for years. I don’t feel strongly drawn to write other fics in those fandoms. That’s not to say that I couldn’t or won’t. I very easily could. I just don’t feel like I have to if that makes sense.
InuYasha, Ranma 1/2, Labyrinth, and Phineas and Ferb fall into a third category— They’re things I could get very into in terms of digging stories out of them but that I haven’t actually fallen into for one reason or another. I don’t have specific ideas for any of them or headcanons or anything similar just a general feeling that something there could work.
There are two or three hundred other canons that I’d be perfectly happy writing, given a prompt and time and access to canon for review. My problem for Yuletide and Not Prime Time and such, in terms of offers, is always narrowing things down to less than thirty options. There are probably even more fandoms in which I’m willing to read when I’m in the mood for fic or when a recommendation sounds like exactly my sort of thing.
I don’t need to love something to have a blast writing it or discussing it or reading it. The prompts/story ideas I have saved in a locked entry include things for a number of fandoms not on this list. I have no idea if I’ll get to any of them, but I was interested enough to keep them for later.

I've written three Amber fics (two for Yuletide), and I have two story fragments that I hope to complete some day.
