Fandom Snowflake Challenge #8: "Talk About a Current Fannish Project"  


Talk about a current fannish project (fic, art, vid, crochet, funko pop village) (that you are creating or enjoying)

How current is "current"? Given how little work I've done on the goal I mentioned in the Challenge #2 post, that one doesn't qualify as anything but wishful thinking! Yet, anyway.

Last year, though, I did get another installment done for the Depths of Cold series I started back in 2019. It's based on what backstory we have on the version of Captain Cold (Leonard Snart) that appeared in the Arrowverse, specifically in The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. Most fic about his childhood dwells hard on the abuse he suffered at his father's hands. However, it seemed to me that anyone who got half-starved and beat up as much as he does in fic would hardly grow up to look like Wentworth Miller, the actor who played him. I wanted to write something more nuanced.

There are at least a couple more installments to go; but I got Part 6 up last year. "Cold Storage" actually is about Len's meeting Mick Rory (Heat Wave) in Juvie; but, after all, that's part of the backstory too.

What a great idea!

Leonard is such an interesting character, and while I don't really read much fic about him, from what I've seen in the shows, he would have many layers. Especially considering what you said about the changes from his childhood to the character we come to know.

Good luck with that!

Thanks! Bit by bit, I'll get it all done.

ooh I kind of love the Leonard Snart in those shows so I may have to read that fic!
