Challenge #6

In your own space, post the results of your fandom scavenger hunt. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture or description of something that is or represents:


1. A favorite character

three star wars spaceship figurines

Han Solo (the Millennium Falcon), Luke Skywalker (X-Wing, although I'll admit that I don't remember whether this X-Wing is actually Luke's, it might be Biggs Darklighter's), and the entire Rogue One crew (the U-Wing). I do wish I had a piece of merch that was more connected to Leia, but oh well.

2. Something that makes you laugh

A halloween decoration fake skull wearing a Green Bay Packers hat, with a small bigfoot toy standing next to it.

This Halloween skull sits right next to my front door, and I try to change his hats seasonally. Since the Green Bay Packers have been eliminated from playoff contention, it's time to find him a new hat. My dad used to hide the Bigfoot in various places around our apartment, lately he's been sitting on the mantle.

3. A bookshelf

A 5-shelf bookcase full of Star Wars books and various knickknacks, with some swords and toy lightsabers on top.

My Star Wars bookcase. These are only my have-read-all-the-way-through books, everything unfinished or quit halfway through stays on my TBR shelf elsewhere. I recent surpassed 50 comic TPBs in my collection. You can also see some of my rock spheres in there.

4. A game or hobby you enjoy

A bowl of yarn with knitting needles stuck in it and a small square of knitting on them.

I don't knit as much as I used to (I have a lot of hand/wrist pain that I suspect is some form of arthritis), but I still like to think of myself as a knitter.

5. Something you find comforting

A full-spectrum happy lamp sitting on a bookshelf.

My full-spectrum HappyLamp. One of the best purchases I've ever made, this winter would have been so much worse without it.

6. A TV show or movie you hope more people will watch

DVD Box sets of Babylon 5 seasons 1-5, Crusade, and the movie collection

Babylon 5. I know it's still relatively popular for a 25+ year old show, but that will not stop me from evangelizing about how great it is.

7. A piece of clothing you love

Three socks with fun patterns on the ankles

My Darn Tough wool hiking socks. Super comfy, super warm, dry quick, basically never smell, and they have super fun patterns.

8. A thing from an old fandom

A brown patterned water bottle with the text 'Ewok Expeditions/Yub Nub' on it over a sketch of three ewoks and some trees.

Star Wars is one of my oldest fandoms, and also my always-and-forever fandom.

9. A thing from a new fandom

A stack of several cookbooks.

Error 404, new fandom not found. I tend not to buy merch until I know I'm in a fandom for the long haul, and I really haven't been that into any new fandoms lately. My new-ish hobby is cooking and small-batch baking, the top 4 cookbooks were Christmas presents that I haven't super far into yet.

Hey, considering how everyone went nuts for sourdough during lockdown, baking and bread are totally fandoms!

We definitely have two fandoms in common: you already knew B5 and I have had a love affair for a long time, but Star Wars is my biggest, best forever fandom. I love your collection of books!

Star Wars is such a great fandom for circling back to.

It really is! I drifted out of the fandom for a good 15 years and lately I have been immersing myself in the new content. A lot of television content to catch up on for sure. There is nothing like our galaxy far far away.
