I will happily babble away about pretty much anything on the Interests list of my DW profile.

Fannish interests include: Lucifer, Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek, Babylon 5, the Loki-centric portions of MCU. My fanfic is at [archiveofourown.org profile] firecat — viewer discretion advised.

Snowflake challenge #2: Set some goals for the upcoming year.

First, the rant: Ugh, I hate the way New Year’s resolutions are done in US culture. It always strikes me as steeped in the attitude “I am flawed; it’s my moral duty to strive toward the mainstream ideal of a human being; and I must, in public, declare my flaws and commit to eradicating them. PS: conforming to the physical ideal is the most important aspect of this.”

That said, of course there are many other ways to approach goals and one needn’t throw out the baby with the bathwater; if nothing else it will clog the drain.

My goal for this year is to bring my “words of fanfic / original work posted to AO3” over 1 million. I posted more than that number of words (132,740) in each of the past 4 years because I loved writing fiction and how it makes me feel. I want more of that.

What is your relationship to New Year’s resolutions and goal-setting in general?

[community profile] snowflake_challenge is an annual January celebration of fandom, fan works, and getting to know other fans & creators. There are fifteen prompts covering a variety of topics.

Snowflake challenge #1: Update your fandom information

I tweaked my DW profile, and when I went to read what other people say about their fannish interests and activities, I noticed that I feel less settled than others about exactly what I’m doing fannishly. I can say what I *have* done and a little about what I *do* but not so much about wha I *will do*. Maybe that’s because I’ve been doing it for less than five years.

Anyway, I started posting fanfic in spring 2020 and I’ve posted coming up on 1m words at AO3 ([archiveofourown.org profile] firecat ). I’ve been a dabbler (I’ve written in almost 120 fandoms) but I also have some faves — my most-written fandoms and characters have been Lucifer TV, the Loki-centric portions of MCU and other Loki variants, ancient Greek myth, John Constantine, Jack Harkness, Sherlock Holmes, and Star Trek (original series and Next Generation). I’m fond of crossovers. I’ve participated in a lot of exchanges. I tend toward explicit smut and sf/fantasy/horror, but other genres and less explicit works are respectably well represented.

My Dreamwidth journal has lately been mostly fannish stuff but I sometimes post about my life or stuff I’ve come across that made me think.

What are your thoughts about the phenomenon/communities of fandom today?
