So... I started snowflake and then disappeared for a week - first week back kicked my ASS, but here we are, it's about not falling off for ages.
Snowflake #2 is not a bit of me, and as someone who's not fully within a fandom and hasn't been for several years there's nothing I can add to previous years #3 answers. I don't have an answer for #4, but I am going to go trawling through people's responses to that for ideas. I do have some thoughts for Snowflake 5: In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts however (not least because I ALWAYS ask for the first one).

- For all creators to have a Transformative Works statement somewhere accessible (mine is on my AO3 Profile)
- Icons for The Pitt (which is too full for me to write about, but which I adore)
- Small house cleaning challenges or decluttering categories (for example: socks, spices, or paperwork would be a category, clean the bathroom sink would be a challenge)

Look at one area which is a mess because everything is just sort of jumbled together. Obtain an organizer that would suit the stuff. Put the stuff in an organizer. It can be big or small.
... I've gotten to where if I see a good one while thrifting, I'll buy it. I can always use more places to sort stuff.

Date: 2026-01-10 04:52 pm (UTC)I like the idea of picking up good sorting storage like that - thrifting is a bit different over here, but it's not impossible.

Date: 2026-01-10 07:16 pm (UTC)Some are incredibly clever. We've been looking at modular organizers for a garden shed that have hooks or grippers designed to hold all different tools. It's very interesting. Some drawer organizers are modular so you can assemble something to fit not only your desired drawer but the things you wish to store in it.
It helps to think outside the box, too -- I store my beading supplies in a tacklebox. Fishing has some of the best organizers for tiny things, often cheaper than you'd see in a craft store.

Date: 2026-01-10 04:46 pm (UTC)Oh yes, it is fantastic... and fairly exhausting, but SO GOOD. If you liked ER back in the day (so not really as a re-watch necessarily) then likely you will like it.

Date: 2026-01-11 02:57 pm (UTC)I started collaging programmes and tickets to things in great big poster frames with archival tape a few years ago, and that's been really useful for that kind of thing - but I have large walls, which gives me quite a bit of space to work with and that's 100% not going to work for photographs of my own face.
one of my plans this week is to go through the house and write down projects - realistically it'll be next weekend, I have an all day rehearsal on Saturday, but am free the Sunday and Monday - so I'll have some things to share then?

Date: 2026-01-11 04:13 pm (UTC)Photos with my own face in are things I have to figure out what to do with - that, and publicity photos with dedicated autographs. Tickets to things are all in a (small, decorative) box, and that defines my space for them. Theatre programmes, though...

Date: 2026-01-10 07:56 pm (UTC)A cleaning challenge I should probably do myself soon is to go through my wardrobe and get rid of everything I haven't worn in the last couple of years. I try to remember to do this regularly but somehow I always fail.

Date: 2026-01-11 02:54 pm (UTC)Ignore if it's not useful, but I found tuning all my coathangers backwards on the rail was a low-effort way to do this - I turn the coathangers around if I DO wear a thing, so a year later it's a very easy cull - the only things I might have to think about are fancy wedding clothes, any "special" clothes and something to wear to funerals.
