snowflake_challenge #11: In your own space, Interact with someone.

The most important person I interacted with was my cat. Waking up to her on my shoulder as the queen she is was definitely the best interaction I've had all morning. (Of course, since I'm not Lucille Bluth and do not have favourites, interacting with my other two cats was obviously the highlight of my morning, too… when they appear. They're busy with Official Cat Business.)

I've been having a lot of fun commenting around on this challenge and talking to and meeting new people! When Snowflake first started, I was hesitant to comment around on journals because I wasn't too sure if it was welcome. (Silly, I know, but I feel like this could be a collective fandom experience from time to time? I definitely know it's Anxiety Brain.) But I figured that if it wasn't welcome, people wouldn't be sharing links to their posts saying they've completed the challenge and welcoming comments. Did anyone else feel a little hesitation at first before taking the plunge and commenting around?

I've also been participating in rthstewart's 3 Sentence Ficathon! It's been so much fun slamming into comments with a few sentences to tell a story and it's been fantastic to see how others have been filling prompts, too. This is what I've been missing in fandom (I mentioned ficathons in one of my challenge responses and then here comes rthstewart with the answer!) Come join us! We're on the second post now, but you're more than welcome to go fill prompts from the first post.

I'm planning on spending some time replying to some comments today, dropping into some on posts, and maybe shooting my shot with a stranger via message. We'll see what happens!

There are a lot of "any, any" prompts for writers who want to write for a fandom/pairing of their choice! The prompters have been really great in either replying back and acknowledging the little ficlet or letting it be (and others have come and commented with feedback as well).
