snowflake 2k26: #1

[queenslayerbee]

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

I guess I might as well make a new pinned post!

As of now, I'm a 29yo Spaniard, law & politics graduate, and amateur writer. I write both fanfic and original fiction, though the latter is (largely) unavailable to be read rn. I hope to change that in the coming year. 

I've done this challenge a few times (one in a past journal). I always think of it as a way to meet new people, and to be more active on dreamwidth, something I more or less managed last year.

I want to keep this intro post short and sweet, so I'll just offer a few links of other places where you can find me.

• My ao3 account, for any and all my fanfics. I keep it locked and screen comments, but this year I intend to edit some old fics, and I've been thinking about crossposting them over here.
• My patreon, currently under construction (and likely so for the next couple of months, as I'm going to be pretty busy). At this moment, there's a short story/teaser to my current WIP available for free.
• My storygraph account, where I post reviews (sometimes just the stars, sometimes something more throughout) of the books and comics I read.
• My tumblr account, where I am most active.

Another thing about me is that I love owls, so when I saw this banner, I instantly knew it was going to be the only one I'd use for the event LOL. I love its creepy eyes xD

Ooh I love StoryGraph! I've sent you a friend request there :)

I also like to use the new year as an excuse to clean up my pinned post/profile. Well done!

[queenslayerbee]

I couldn't reply to comments until now but I accepted your request yesterday ^-^

January 1st is a good excuse for a lot of first and "let's get this thing I've been meaning to do out of the way"s. Would be nice if that stuck through the year! xD

Smart of you to make a pinned post. That owl is very cool!

[queenslayerbee]

The new year is always a good excuse for cleaning up a bit.

And the owl is amazing :D

Hey there!

[queenslayerbee]

Hi!

Nice owl you have there, too xD

[green]

Ooh, maybe I should make a new pinned post, or at least update my old one!

Happy New Year!

[queenslayerbee]

Happy New Year! One of my favourite holidays, especially as it gives you an excuse/nice push into doing updates like this :P

I love owls, too! It cracks me up how they creep some people out, but I think they're pretty cool. I felt so special the day I spotted a barred owl in a tree while on a hike.

[queenslayerbee]

My one encounter with an owl in the wild (as opposed to trained ones) was a royal owl eyeing my old Yorkshire terrier like she was its next meal lmao, so I get some people's alarm (predators ought to be respected as such!), but it never changed the fact that I've always found them cool and fascinating lol. Something about those big eyes and awkward faces xD

[ravensilversea]

It's a fantastic banner! But now, I have to ask: What's your favorite owl? 👀

[queenslayerbee]

I have a soft spot for the spectacled owl. Some birds of prey are majestic, and I love that about them, but the more awkward an owl looks, the more I like it xD

[ravensilversea]

Oh that's a cool-looking bird! Fantastic choice! Thanks for sharing ^-^

I love owls too! They are so remarkable in every way.

[queenslayerbee]

Right? I don't know what it is about them (everything? It's probably everything) but I've always found them fascinating.
