Challenge #13 asks us to create a fanwork. Here's the additional text:
( Anything you can do, I can do different )
Whether it's your first or five hundredth, whether you hit the flow and just go or you fight it all the way from beginning to end, whether you're just cranking or another or you're trying to get unblocked, the thing you create is going to be wonderful. If you feel like sharing, I'm pretty sure there's an audience for it, but if not, that's okay. You made a thing! You took part in the act of creation.
Now you've done it.
Now you know.
Let's do another, shall we?
Here we go.
(And yes, I did create a more traditional fanwork, even after creating this work about fans. Go read We Didn't Start The Fire to see what happens when someone leaves an outline lying around and I think it's good enough to try and build it into a complete work. It's only about three times as long as the outline, because I apparently tend to work short, but there you have it.)
Hopefully, after meeting so many new people and being exposed to so many new things, our creative juices are flowing! For me, part of the reason I do theThere's also a necessary reminder than "fanwork" is not limited in its definition to certain specific and popular forms.snowflake_challenge is for exactly this purpose. But I know this particular challenge might be difficult for many of us who are blocked for whatever reason.
Fanwork means anything that you, a fan, creates. If you say it’s a fanwork, then it is! But if you want some suggestions, why not see if one of your fav fanworks creators has a transformative works statement? Many people (me included) have them on their profiles, either here on Dreamwidth or on AO3. Then go crazy! Make art, make fic, make a podfic, make a vid, make a cross-stitch pattern. Crochet, knit. Bake a cake! An interpretive dance of how it makes you feel! Anything!I think this is an interesting suggestion to go with, both as a gentle prod to check and make sure that your own wishes are stated about whether you would like to have transformative works done of your works and as an acknowledgement of one of the core tenets of transformative work: the remix.
