firethesoundGot behind on this, so I'll be catching up over this week!
Day 7: In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.
Okay, doing Harry Potter for this since it's the fandom I'm most active in/have been involved in the longest and most consistently. I actually don't have a clear favorite scene or bit of canon, but the parts of the story I love best are the quiet moment between the action. The little day-to-day bits where Harry is just Harry in between being the Boy Who Lived. All the times they go to have tea with Hagrid. Doing homework in the Gryffindor common room. De-gnoming the Weasley's garden. Rushing to class or having breakfast, any of those little bits tucked away between the big, important scenes. And that's not to say that these scenes are not important or don't move the plot forward because a lot of the time they do (all hail JKR for being amazing like that) and they also serve the very important function as serving as lulls between the action, contrast points for all the big, extraordinary things Harry constantly does. But these little bits of ordinary-ness, with Harry and his friends hanging out and just being together warm me more than anything else because I firmly believe that those moments are worth more than gold to Harry. Knowing that he's got friends who love him for being himself.
Day 8: Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them.
Done! I sent messages to a couple of writers I admire from a fandom in which I am much less active/talkative. <3

Exactly! That's our Harry, not the boy with this huge responsability, but the boy we love, right? RIGHT? I'm not crazy! :D
