Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 4

Comment to someone you haven’t ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you’ve interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this [the assignment] post with the equivalent of “I did it!”

It doesn’t have to be anything complex — it can be feedback for a fanwork or discussing something you might have in common or even simply admiring their icon. The point is to reach out to someone you normally wouldn’t and connect with them, even if it’s only for the briefest moment.


This one wasn’t difficult at all; in fact, it was basically dropped in my lap. Just a day or so ago, I ran across some of [livejournal.com profile] teragramm’s fanart, following links from [livejournal.com profile] su_herald, and was impressed, particularly by this one and this one. Then [livejournal.com profile] slaymesoftly made a post rejoicing that her story “Every Time You Say Good-bye” (first chapter here, all chapters accessible here) had been gifted with cover art by — of course — the same artist I had just discovered.

With that as an opportunity, it was the simplest thing imaginable to send [livejournal.com profile] teragramm a message expressing the appreciation and admiration she (presuming a she?) had unquestionably earned.

Yes, she's a she and she's delightful and talented so I am glad you reached out to her today.

She is very talented and so generous with her talent.
