Snowflake Challenge: Day Three

Challenge #3

Rec Your Favorite Communities, Fests or Challenges!

If you're a fan of Marvel, in any format or universe, there are two big bangs I love.

Marvel Big Bang (marvel_bang) is primarily run here on DW and Discord. I've found this one particularly inspiring the last few years. It has a 10k minimum, and the timelines are very generous for actually getting it done.

Marvel Reverse Big Bang is mostly a combination of Tumblr, Discord and Google. 5k minimum. I was worried I wouldn't find any art I could actually write (being comics only), but I did, and I had a blast doing it!

And then there are my two favourite bingos:

trope_bingo because who doesn't love tropes? You can opt out of stuff, and the trope list is fantastically tropey.

hc_bingo is also great. You can opt out of the hurt/comfort stuff you don't want to write, and the list of h/c tropes is exhaustive.

And then, finally, the fic exchanges. I love fic exchanges. This non-exhaustive list includes:

yuletide - the perennial fav and absolutely gigantic.

raremaleslashex - as a lover of rarepairs, this one is fun.

chocolateboxcomm - low pressure relationship (romantic or platonic) fun.

fandom5k - 5k minimum. My story ideas are naturally longer, so this one suits.

hurtcomfortex - basically what it says on the tin.

I adore trope_bingo and hc_bingo. I've done chocolatebox and fandom5k in the past, but sadly this year I can't commit to exchanges. Planning to write treats though!

They're such great bingos! I'm terrible at getting lines in them, but they're so much I keep doing them anyway! And that's too bad. Sometimes schedules just don't work out (happened to me last year). GL with the treats!

These are great! I really love trope_bingo a lot! Someday I may do yuletide :D

[tangeriner]

Thanks! And yuletide is a blast! It's so big that even the tiniest of tiny fandoms usually can find someone else who knows it and will write something for you.

There's a hurtcomfortex????? :O Oh man, I was hoping to cut down on exchanges this year, but if that ain't my cup of tea, then I don't know what is! Many thanks for all these recs!

[tangeriner]

There is! And it's great! It's one of those ones where you match on fandom, pairing and the hurt/comfort prompt, so it's really catered to your wants and likes. You're welcome!

Thanks for hurtcomfortex, something new to add to my list!

[tangeriner]

You're welcome! It's such a great one, and it's definitely running this year, so I am very excited!
