Day 8

In your own space, make a list of at least 3 things that you like about yourself.

Placekeeper.

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. Arts and crafts. Draft a critical essay about a particular media. Put together a picspam or a fanmix. Write a review of a Broadway show, a movie, a concert, a poetry reading, a museum trip, a you-should-be-listening-to-this-band essay. Compose some limericks, haikus, free-form poetry, 5-word stories. Document a particular bit of real person canon. Take some pictures. Draw a stick-figure comic. Create something.

I have a couple of WIPs but they are not finished yet.

Day 5

In your own space, talk about your fannish origin story. How did you come to fandom, why did you choose your fannish name, do you have more than one secret identity? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Under the cut because you should know how I tend to ramble on at times.

Day 11

Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing or trope. Try creating a different kind of fanwork. Or check out some types of fanworks that are new to you. (The recs from Day 1, Day 3, and Day 9 might be a good place to start!)

Hmmmmm. Well, this is tricky because I think I've explored almost every possible pairing and/or trope in the fandoms I'm already in -- or was in. I can't go into a new fandom unless there is something that resonates with me in a certain way.

The only thing I haven't done is cosplay but I have an idea for an outfit and background that will fit my (current) fannish interests (and be size/age appropriate as well. ;) When I get things a little farther along, I will post pics of it -- though I may or may not be in the pics myself.

Day 10

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts.

You guessed it -- another placekeeper. *sighs*

Day 7

In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something.

Here is a little snippet that may or may not grow into something more. We'll see. It's not from Tolkien for a change but rather MCU (pre-teen Thor and Loki, very gen.) If you decide to read, I hope you enjoy.

Day 3

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.



Please Note: This is being used as a placekeeper until I get my main computer back again -- hopefully that means next Tuesday...

Most of my bookmarks and notes are on that one; I am just using this to keep in touch.


So this is a great big FAIL since I can't remember any tiny fandoms or rare pairings otherwise.
