30 Days of Fandom Meme: Day 22
22 – Have you ever participated in a fest or a Big Bang? If so, write about your favorite experience in relation to one. If not, are there any you've thought about doing? And if not, why not?
I’ve never done a Big Bang, but I’ve done a lot of exchanges; Sutcliff Swap and Yuletide are probably the two main ones that I’ve done over the years. I love Sutcliff Swap because I've made some lovely friends through the fandom and because the overall quality is generally so high (particularly for the art; I recall beautiful drawings by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
motetus and alby_mangroves in particular). Yuletide, on the other hand, is less tight-knit (though I've made some friends through it, too; hi, entwashian!), but has this huge fandom-wide participation aspect that I find so appealing. People have been nattering about possible nominations since at least August - or rather, they’ve kicked into high gear about it; people bring up possible noms for next Yuletide basically from January 1st on.
I’ve gotten a bit less apt to sign up for exchanges, but I love to write treats. I’ll trawl through exchange letters to pick up good prompts; I’m working on a few ficbits for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Have you ever seen John Sloan's New York street paintings? They're a bit before Steve's time, but I could see Steve responding to the everyday people aspect of that work.

Once it's posted and everything, I may include a link to it at the end of Sketch. Would you be all right with that?
