Snowflake Challenge 2019 | Day 4 - Introduce yourself

[g_uava]

Prompt: Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them.

There's not a lot of toku fans on DW these days. I doubt more will migrate cause of the tumblr purge since the fandom culture isn't strongly bent towards NSFW fanworks. I myself didn't start poking around here cause of what happened on tumblr in Dec 2018, but due to coming to terms with my preference for enjoying my hobby slowly.

Still, I'd like to reach out to any DW user that are interested in toku, blogs about toku shows and even uses icons featuring toku shows. I find that if I really look out for fellow fans, I can find them in the most unexpected places, such as on the challenge posts for snowflake_challenge. That's how I stumbled upon evilinsanemonkey's journal and KR Kuuga icon :O This reminds me of how a few years back, I wandered into the journal of a Hockey RPF author and found entries on Kamen Rider OOO, showing how diverse DW users' interests are.

I've looked into the member posts of the two main toku-centric comms (kamenrider and sentai) and I don't think it's realistic to try to revive them now, if ever. I still like to brainstorm ideas on how to encourage discussion and the creation of more fanwork for my niche Japanese shows, mostly to keep motivating myself to #bethechange.

i'm so glad you commented on my post :) It reminded me I'm horrendously behind on Build and Lupin vs Pat

(like...HORRENDOUSLY behind)

Now you can experience the fun of binge-watching :D And none of the impatience of waiting for new episodes and subs!

Where'd you stop in Lupin vs Pat? As of now I'm a little behind too at ep41.

there is that! i just gotta get out of the habit of crocheting while i watch things cuz it's hard to crochet and read subtitles...

i think i left off at ep 5 on Lupin Vs Pat and ep 24 of Build (though it's entirely possible i have to start both of them over again cuz it's been so long...not that that's a horrible thing)

oh also, p.s. i have a power rangers comm pr2017 and sentai discussion and fanworks are more than welcome there :)

Great! I haven't finished a complete Power Rangers series and plan to start Time Force this year cause Timeranger is my latest obsession. After watching lots of Sentai, it's really a lot easier to get used to the silliness and charm of Power Rangers :)

I love what I've watched of Timeranger. I recently-ish rewatched Time Force. it was fun
