Snowflake Challenge #1

Challenge #1: The Icebreaker Challenge— Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it. 

I'm Elizabeth (aka Anghraine pretty much everywhere). I've been in fandom for ages at this point (I'm nearly 40, somehow) and I've written, uh, a lot of meta and fic, the bulk of it for Pride and Prejudice (book only, mostly Darcy/Elizabeth, my OTP of all time), the original Star Wars trilogy (movies only, with a side of occasional prequel material, mostly Skywalker feelings) and Rogue One (not Andor, not the novelization, just Jyn/Cassian in Rogue One), and Tolkien (especially Gondor and the Stewards, and sometimes Númenor). I'm also into various video games that I sometimes get super into: currently I'm playing BG3. Also, after growing up with Star Trek as comfort food of the soul but never getting fannishly compelled by what I was familiar with as a 90s kid, I agreed to watch TOS itself, dutifully insisted on watching every single episode out of completionist principles, and fell madly in love with it as its own thing. I've been obsessed with it (and especially with the highly unexpected blorbo of ultimate destiny, Jim Kirk himself) for pretty much the entirety of last year, specifically as a work of its own that feels fundamentally distant and separate from ST-as-franchise (and a lot weirder, which I love for it). This isn't likely to change any time soon!

As for Snowflake, I've done the challenge once, and really enjoyed it, intended to do it this year, got caught up in RL (mostly health problems that have resolved for now), and was reminded about it again by seeing people posting for it, and impulsively decided to jump in. I like using DW as more than a safe repository for fanworks posted elsewhere, and Snowflake is a good reason to use it for itself!

I am unfamiliar with the Snowflake Challenge, and I always like to see what you have to say, so this seems great to me :) Happy New Year, may it be a year, may you have some events occur and also other things
