Snowflake Challenge 2019 - Day Five!

[ella_rose88]

Okay I missed Day Four because I didn't quite feel up to it, but I'm very keen to do today's!

So without further ado, here is today's question for snowflake_challenge: In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

There's so many I'd love to promote but I'm going with the following three:

1. ontd_sassenach - It's a community for fans of Outlander and to watch/be a member you have to request membership, but it's not too hard. While the community isn't as active as it used to be (and I joined like two years ago) I really enjoy discussing the show and the episodes on there with other people. I've met a few great people there and I really enjoy reading their thoughts on the show because it gives me different perspective on things. I definitely recommend it for Outlander fans!

2. merlin-rarepair-swap - a blog (they also have a discord, AO3 and Pillowfort accounts too) for Merlin fans who ship Rarepairs. This is a recent blog I've joined and I've made quite a few friends who like me ship rarepairs (like Arthur/Gwen). They run regular fan-work exchanges and its just great to see that more rarepair content is being produced. It's not a big blog community, though it doesn't aspire to be, but if people who are fans of Merlin and ship rarepairs I do recommend you follow/join this blog.

3. Welcome To Camelot - this site is a Merlin role play forum that was running several years ago, but after a long hiatus has returned. I was on there back in the day as a Merlin OC character and I really enjoyed my time there. I found role-playing with different Merlin Canon and OC characters was super fun and it was great for meeting fellow Merlin fans. So if there are Merlin fans out there that are interested in role playing as Canon/OC Merlin characters, I recommend you follow the above link!

I should try the rarepair swap for the next round! (if Merlin/Gwaine or Merlin/Percival are rare pairs?)

The role play site looks really interesting! I did some fandom role play years ago for my first fandom (Saint Seiya). But to be honest I'm not sure I have time for that :-( We'll see...

Oh yes Merlin/Gwaine & Merlin/Percival are considered rarepairs :) It’s basically any ship but Merlin/Arthur.

Lol I know the feeling, but I definitely recommend you check it out. So far there’s not much activity (I’m hoping that changes soon) so it wouldn’t take too much time. Plus, the posting min is two posts per week per character (I believe that’s for OC characters, for canon characters it’s a min of seven posts per week) and the posting size is a min of two paragraphs. But read the info (you can find it HERE) and see what you think :)
