Snowflake Challenge #7

[eve11]

snowflake_challenge number 7 is to create your own challenge!

I have no idea if I will get to this or not, But I think personalized Fandom Flowcharts would be fun.

Kind of like a timeline but also sort of referential, if there were any "Gateway fandoms" that got you into one or the other (same actor, same genre, rec from friends). Nothing so complicated as Univariate probability distributions (yes, I own this poster and have been pencil-coloring it for a while), but something personalized that shows your own Fandom Journey, be it simple or complex.

(And I really, REALLY want to see thisbluespirit's chart, just for the explosion of 70's British TV and the links that follow actors from one show to another!)

You could have color coding on the charts for your engagement types -- making fic, vids, just watching/reading, etc. Or like, if you were shippy about it or not, etc.

I wonder if there are any free online flowchart makers that could help someone visualize this kind of thing. Then you could have your own personalized fandom graph or timeline or sankey diagram or what-have-you out of it.

I have no idea if this counts as a challenge. It's a challenge to me to come up with some kind of viz for it, I suppose.
