Snowflake Day 2

[nrgburst]

Challenge #2

In your own space (or their own space) interact with someone new.

Already done via comments today on my Snowflake #1 post (and others)! This is my favorite part of snowflake really- everybody is so fannishly enthused and positive and it feels like a big ole party. :D


Anyway, inspired by rhoda_rants here's some year end positivity for 2020:

1. My skin is finally clear for the first time in decades, and I think it's because for months I haven't worn makeup (which is a societal expectation here) because I haven't left the house or because most of my face is mask covered anyway. In terms of silver linings to losing my job this is a big one, and totally unexpected!

2. Wrote 93000+ words; my biggest yearly word count ever. Also my highest completed fic count ever (15) and most number of fandoms written for. The response to Check and Mate (The Queen's Gambit, Beth/Benny) in particular is really blowing me away- IME most fannish response is limited to the first week after a fic is posted, but people are still kudosing/commenting on it more than a month later! And it's just a one-shot so it's not like it's been getting bumped to the top of the tag- I don't even know how people are finding it but it's awesome! :DDD

3. Made 35 GIFsets and 15 fic header type edits and two of them passed 1K notes (Beth/Benny in Black and White, MCU+ violet)

4. Read more than 100 books, which is also a personal best since like, elementary school when there were contests and I wanted to wiiiin. LOL

5. Learned to cook some delicious new foods.


How about you guys? Tell me some great things about last year!
