Snowflake Challenge 2026 # 1

The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

I'm Ren, I'm in my 40s and a parent, I'm non-binary, married to an American, we live in Wales. I was born in Coventry but have lived in Wales for most of my life (and my grandfather was Welsh).

I have two kids, age 9 and 5, both idetinfyings as girls atm. Flower is all about lego and Tabby is all about cats (and well, Tabby). 

I'm not really into a fandom atm, not in the way I used to be when I was younger. I tend to write and bootle about in whatever show I'm binging at the time, though Stargate remains my fave. I do write orignal stuff as well. I want to write more this year, more of everything, I haven't been writing as much as I used to.

I loved doing the challenge before and wanted to do it again, plus I thought it would be a good way to connect and try to un-isolate myself. I tend to be pretty insular nowadays, both on and offline. Between the anxiety and the kids and my physical health (firbomyalgia), I haven't done much outside of go to work. I started archery last year and started writing again though.

I have a longer about me for my friends list here.

Happy to have more friends on here!

So, I started writing something and it's more worldbuilding than it is a story, but enjoy.
