Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom
Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

I don't have any pets of my own. Dogs are cute, but ever since I was a kid, I was more into cats. However, my parents didn't want a pet and to be honest, I'm self aware enough to know that I wouldn't be able to take care of one. The first apartment we lived in when we moved to California was nice in the sense that there were other people with pets my sister and I could play with. Our upstairs neighbor had four cats and two dogs! They were all very sweet.

My favorite fictional pet is definitely Salem from Sabrina The Teenage Witch. That sarcastic cat was really funny and definitely one of the best parts of the show. I also have a soft spot for Luna from Sailor Moon. I watched Homeward Bound way too many times and I love all three of them but Sassy was the best.

And of course, Shelby from Smallville (see icon). That dog was adorable and I was always happy when they let him pop in. He literally saved Clark's life! And he had good taste, because he liked Lois right away, even when Lois was ... apprehensive. My sister still calls him "Clarkie" though!

As far as my current fandom goes, I'm not trying to fall into stereotypes but I do stand by the belief that they should let Buck get a dog (so close in s8!) and Eddie get a cat. It would be adorable. :)

Crossposting my comment from

booknook. If I can remember to keep this up for every "Wednesday Reading Progress" that would be great or maybe every other week. I don't normally post comments on Goodreads just ratings so this might be a good way to remember my feelings about a particular book/author. Please note that I mainly read Romance books, other genres are usually secondary.

In this case, some of my thoughts were already posted in a previous post.

I admit I first started watching this series because I loved Phil Coulson in the MCU.

And I admit the first eps of the series are not my favorite because they had too much monster/strange thing of the week spiel but when they hit the Clairvoyant storyline and especially Season 1 Ep 10 "The Bridge" where they started hitting their stride, I started liking the series more. The tie in story to Captain America: The Winter Soldier sealed the deal and I was hooked on the series from there on out.

The very first relationship I loved on the series was the Dad/Daughter relationship between Coulson and (Skye) Daisy because he really was her Dad in every way that counted but blood.

I think towards the end of S1 and into S2 is when I started falling in love with the other characters.

Wow they're so young in the ep I am watching now, especially Fitz!

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

I'm svgurl. I'm in my 30s, and have been actively part of fandom on and off since 2007, when I created my LJ. The SV part of my username stands for Smallville, which was my original fandom and I was very mono fandom for years.

My profile is up to date and gives a little background history and the fandoms/ships I'm interested in. I'm focused on 9-1-1/Buddie these days, but I still love MCU, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, and past favorites do come up from time to time.

I can be found on various places:
AO3:

Tumblr:

svgurl410
Discord: svgurl

I mod:

comment_bingo: a bingo challenge that promotes commenting on other fanworks using the provided prompts

rarefemslashexchange: a rare f/f fandom exchange that runs once a year

This is my 5th year participating in the Snowflake Challenge and I really love the way it gives everyone a chance to interact with people that you normally wouldn't. I am not comfortable with just going to someone's journal and talk to them out of the blue, so it's nice that this gives you a chance to do just that. I am looking forward to doing more of that and meet more people on here as well! :)
