Snowflake Challenge (Day Five)
Jan. 12th, 2014 01:07 pmIn your own space, talk about a creator. Show us why you think they are amazing.
I talked about creators last time but a bit I'm stuck for mentioning new individuals, reading and consuming quite broadly. I certainly mention them in my resources post, those wonderful people who provide icon textures and psds and tutorials and screencaps so the rest of us can more easily create fanworks. I certainly follow journals and tumblrs of fantastic creators and reccers (is reccers a word? As in, those who recommend things?).
It's sort of a tumblr rec rather than solely a creator rec, but the owner of this tumblr creates a significant amount of what is posted, so I'll rec FuckYeahBorgia/The Original Crime Family for wonderful gifs and graphics that are helping to keep the fandom active.
However what I mostly want to do is give a shout out to all the creators who keep fandoms alive, especially the cancelled and/or small fandoms. Who continue to write and manip and gif and draw and vid and podfic and make fanmixes and icons and all the other things.
And, of course to all those who continue to read and review and reblog and share and comment on the fanworks, because creating is only half of the equation.
Fandoms are like the Discworld gods. They never truly disappear, because there is always a follower somewhere who still loves it, or a new follower who just discovered it. And that's something to celebrate.
