Fandom Snowflake.

[extrapenguin]

So, since it's apparently Month of Do All The Things, I've decided to add more content to my DW, too. Now, I recall the DW thingy called snowflake_challenge , so I shall post stuff on those topics over the next few weeks. Perhaps not one a day, for I have other things I should be doing (of the Do All The Things category), but I'll add content!

I much prefer DW as a means of interaction to Tumblr, yet Tumblr seems to be where the action is. Ergo, I must add action onto DW!

(And if any of you know of similar "here's a laundry list of topics to talk about" challenge thingies, tell me of them. I intend to continue doing adding things to DW, but I am dreadful at coming up with things to talk about.)

Yay, I'm in favor of content :)
For me posting more regularly automatically leads to finding more stuff to post about (also because the little voice saying "this is not important enough to post about" gets quieter.) If you want more inspiration you could always do the forgot-what-it's-called meme asking other people to come up with topics for a month.

Ooh, I think I'll do that, too.

(And I guess I'll report on whether posting things daily-ish makes the "not important enough to post about" voice quieter.)

I don't know of other stuff off the top of my head, but if you find anything and are willing to maintain some sort of index so that other people can find the lists, I will adore you.

Hm. I think I've seen people on LJ doing a list of questions about books/reading. I'll see if I can find the full list somewhere.

[extrapenguin]

I think I'll maintain a sort-of master list by adding the first post that links to any particular one under the tag content generation challenges.

[the_rck]

I couldn't find master posts for these, so I've compiled them and am listing them here. There's some overlap in topics from meme to meme, so some tweaking might be desirable.

First meme:

About me post
Likes/dislikes
Your day in great detail
Story behind your Tumblr name
Five places you’d like to go
What band or musician is most important to you?
Do you read?
Three things you want to say to different people
Pet peeves
Food and beverage of choice
Your favorite quotation
Screenshot of your desktop
Three confessions of your choice
Five celebrity crushes
Someone you fancy right now
If the world were to end tomorrow, what would you do with your remaining time on earth?
What do you want to be when you’re older?
Name a TV show you’re addicted to
List of places you’ve lived before
Turn ons/turn offs
Picture of what you wore today
A letter to someone, anyone
Seven things that cross your mind a lot
Would you rather date someone plain with an amazing personality or someone beautiful with a plain personality?
Warm fuzzies
A picture of your handwriting
What do you wish on?
A picture of yourself
Talk about anything

Second meme:

Eight days of happiness

Third meme:

How many jobs have you had, and which was your favorite?

Have you had a mammogram? Colonoscopy?
When did you get your first cell phone? What was it like? (Did it have a screen? Could you text? Was it a brick or flip?)
When did your family first acquire a color TV?
When did your family acquire a second TV?
Did you ever own “designer jeans”?
Have you ever been to a disco?
How many places (towns, states, countries) have you lived in?

What’s the oldest article of clothing you still wear?

Do you feel like an adult?
Is youth wasted on the young?

Fourth meme:

What do you collect?
What the the top five things on your wishlist and have you done any of them?
What is your favorite recipe and why?
What was your favorite childhood book or books?
What is the meaning behind your LJ name?

Fifth meme:

Reading Wednesdays - On Wednesdays, post about what you're reading now, what you just finished reading, and what you think you'll read next.

Whoah, thanks! :D I'll look into these after my Summer Snowflake run.

Now, meme 2 I have no idea about, and I feel that I'm at least a decade too young for meme 3, but hopefully someone else will find them useful.

[the_rck]

I'm the right age for the third one. It feels a bit strange because I'm used to seeing memes meant for folks much younger than I am.

http://orangerful.livejournal.com/1181541.html This one is the book related thing I mentioned.

Ah, an audience participation meme. Last few times I tried, no-one showed up, though reader response to this post makes me tentatively optimistic. I'll put it behind my ear for when I've done my Summer Snowflake.

[the_rck]

The people I've seen doing this one have mostly ignored the audience participation part and just done a question a day.

I've found a couple of others but haven't found a master list of the questions for them. I'm currently not using my laptop because it makes my headache worse, so I can't copy them here right now.
