frayadjacent has convinced me to give

snowflake_challenge a chance! We'll see how much of these I actually end up doing :)

Day 1

In your own space, talk about why you're participating in Snowflake and, if you’ve participated in the past, how the challenge has affected you. What drew you to it? What did you take away from it? What do you hope to accomplish this year?

I like reccing, and also the only time I've actually done the challenge it inspired me to go talk to

philomytha, which I might never have done otherwise — and my life would have been immeasurably poorer for that, because she is awesome. So. Let's try it out. (…and skip day 2, right off the bat :) )

Day 3

In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create.

Summary:

Seven years after Janet and Thomas' ordeal, Lily and Andrew Carter are both students at Blackstock. The ol' impregnation-and-running-tackle trick isn't going to cut it this time.

Holy cow, I somehow missed this at the time — pitch-perfect Tam Lim voice, old and new friends, a wonderful plot, POETRY, quotations — this is amazing.

In which Trurl and Klapaucius, the far-famed constructors, visit a planet whose inhabitants hold ridiculous misconceptions about religion. Can their problems be solved with the aid of the Higher Mathematics?

Perfect Cyberiad adventure. I might have lost it when they define the ring, not to mention the Banach-Tarski theorem. BRILLIANT.
