[community profile] snowflake_challenge Day 2:
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.


This is harder! I don't know a lot of things that aren't things everybody knows. I will almost certainly fail.

One is a Star Wars story by [personal profile] laurajv, which I cannot find at the AO3, but I'm pretty sure it was called "Spinning", and was a little vignette about Darth Vader's first few minutes after the end of the first movie.

Another is a page I have bookmarked and always open in a tab on my browser, Heels by number, which enables a knitter to adapt any sock pattern to include whatever kind of heel she pleases. As I have wide calves and high insteps, I often have to tweak sock patterns, and figuring out what to do with the heel on the new number of stitches would stump me flat if someone else hadn't done the math for me.

A third is - aha! - the chart [personal profile] ellen_fremedon had on her office door one morning close to five and a half years ago. Working out what names went where was a good deal of fun for me, and now it can be for you to!
