nrgburstAAck I am behind on these because I was working on a fic and a GIFset. But those are out of the way so I'm going to try to catch up on DW messages etc!
Challenge #7
In your own space, create your own challenge.
Well, I'm actually linking a couple of challenges that I've been participating in:
Fanfic Comment Writing Month
The Challenge: Comment on every fanfic you read and enjoy in the month of January.
I always try to comment when I find a fic I enjoy anyway, but I love the way they explain why they want people to go out there and make an effort to comment more:
The Philosophy: Comments are what keep a fandom thriving and growing.
"We don’t see comments as a transaction. They’re not a price paid for reading a fic. We see comments as an interaction, a way of building relationships. Comments are a courtesy, not a currency.
Fandom is a relationship between dozens,hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of fans, and the only way for the greater fandom relationship to function, is for those fans to interact. One way to interact is by writing and reading fanfic. A writer prompts an interaction by posting their work; it is up to the reader to then acknowledge (or not acknowledge)."
Genuary
"Genuary is a multifandom fanfic event focused on boosting the visibility of gen fic (i.e., fanfic where a romantic relationship is not the focus of the plot). It (formally) takes place during the last two weeks of January (for 2021, Jan 17-30). Genuary is an event for both new fic and boosting older works that have been overlooked. To follow Genuary on social media, please follow the #genuary or #genuary 2021 tag on Tumblr and Twitter, follow this Tumblr, and/or join the official AO3 collection"
I think Gen fic gets overlooked a lot, so it's a good opportunity to give it some love. :)
Challenge #8
In your own space, create a wishlist.
I got a job offer yesterday so my biggest wish just got filled! :DDD But here are some mostly fannish wishes:
1. Interaction with my works on AO3 is always awesome (kudos, comments, bookmarks, whatever!)! Recent fandoms include: The Queen's Gambit, Star Wars Original Trilogy, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Talents series and The Folk of the Air series.
2. Likes and Reblogs of my tumblr GIFsets. Recent fandoms include The Queen's Gambit and Game of Thrones, with a sizeable helping of evermore lyrics.
3. Here's my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
chocolateboxcomm letter if you feel up to writing treats! Requested fandoms are The Queen's Gambit, Game of Thrones, Lost in Space and Bridgerton.
4. Please stay home if you can. Please wear a mask and continue to social distance when you have to go out. 2020 is over but the pandemic still isn't.

Date: 2021-01-17 11:03 pm (UTC)So many people say that lockdowns are useless, yet the infection and death rate goes way down. The trouble is that once lockdown is lifted, everyone rushes out and behaves like nothing is wrong, like crowding into shops, partying, etc. That's what causes the problems, if people would just be a little more patient until enough people can be vaccinated!
