silveradeptIt's Sunshine Challenge time! A low-stakes, low-worries, participate-as-you-like event as the summer equivalent of the Fandom Snowflake Challenge that runs every January. A much more realxed pace to the things, as well, with challenge things happening every four days instead of every day. If ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
snowflake_challenge seemed too frenetic to you, or you thought you wouldn't make it through all of them, and that was a disincentive to participation, hopefully sunshine_challenge will make things work.
So, here's the first challenge: Do Some Fannish Housecleaning.
Because a lot of the fun in these challenges is that other participants come say hi (or you go say hi to them) and there's a certain amount of "oh, hey, this is a cool person and I should subscribe to them" that often happens when you're taking a look around all the people who participate in these sorts of challenges. To make that job easier on everybody, it helps to have the material that people are going to look at out front and updated. At the challenge page, there are suggestions on what to do to make your space ready for visitors.
Most of which I now have covered in my sticky post about commenting culture, and the rest in the profile. I'm ready for visitors. And, at least at this point, the main types of posts that will appear here are conveniently arrayed underneath. That's fun all by itself.

- A Transformative Works Policy
- Friending Policy
- Interests (in profile) + Introductory “About Me” Sticky Page
- Master Lists (of fic or recs or meta or just squee about the different things you like)
- Post Tags (can also help people notice your interests at a glance)
- Current Icons (these can also help advertise your fannish interests. Does anyone not love it when someone pounces just to say, "Love your icon! I love that show!")
- Sidebar Links (do you have an AO3 or Tumblr page that people might like to visit?)
- Access Filters (do you have personal and fandom filters to keep your posts locked?)
