snowflake_challengeThe Snowflake Challenge will be back in 2027! We hope you are able to join us for a month of community and prompting to ring in the New Year and get us through an otherwise dark and chilly season (for those of us in the northern hemisphere at least).
We have a group of wonderful mods who are returning this year, but we love having new mods join in and there is a LOT to do. Becoming a mod can be as low or high commitment as you like. Here's some info about the various roles we have as mods:
Poster: You would write and post one of the prompt posts. The mod community works together to decide on the topic, but you get to explain it in your post and frame it in a way that fits the challenge. Then, on an assigned day, you make the post. Typically, posters also act as commenters on their own posts (see the next role).
Commenter: As participants leave comments on the prompt post linking to their personal journals for the response, you leave a comment acknowledging their participation. You can also visit their challenge response and comment on what they wrote, if time allows.
Other site organizer: Ideally we would be able to extend this challenge into other fandom spaces. This role will require adapting each post to whatever site you are managing (tumblr, bluesky, mastodon, etc), which may include fixing links, removing or altering HTML, sharing a small quote and linking to the Dreamwidth post, tagging appropriately, and/or removing or altering images to your site's specifications. You should be prepared to crosspost all intro/wrap-up posts as well as prompts, and you should be prepared to make additional posts as needed on your site to promote the challenge and interact with participants. Usually one or two people manage this role for a single space (such as managing all the posting to bluesky).
If you're interested in becoming a mod, comment here and you can be added to the mod comm. Thank you all and stay tuned!
