Snowflake #1 and 2

Challenge #1

In your own space, update your fandom information!

Done! I pruned my interests a bit and added the ones acquired this year. The Master List should also be complete now (and thank you for the nudge about that; I do get lazy about updating it! 😅)

I think my Master List sticky post pretty much explains what fandoms I am into, and if it doesn't, my 2021 in review one one post down on my journal should! 😊If you like Ted Lasso or The Queen's Gambit, please comment so I can friend you! Those are the two fandoms I'm most active in now, though I am a constant MCU/Disney/Ghibli consumer as well.


Challenge #2

In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

1. Read more. I missed my goodreads goal this year and I hope to actually hit it next year! 

2. Finish the second half of Playing the Rush. It's at 5000 words and promises to be 5000 more and it's been stuck there for a month.😅I haven't abandoned a fic for years, so I don't think I'm in any danger of that, I just get Distracted and need to get my butt in gear.

3. Try to recover my borked harddrive. 

4. Reinstall my old library for iTunes. Yes, I know they want me to just give in and sign up for Apple Music instead of going to the trouble. I bought all those CDs though, and dammit, I have a right to just import music I bought already.

5. Actually watch some of the things on my to-watch list! Especially Reply 1997, Someday or One Day, everything on my Netflix list. 

6. Keep B2 fandom active. I know we're tiny but I don't want us to die. 🖤🤍

Those are some really good goals.

But gah at trying to recover your harddrive. I hope you can manage that.

and dammit, I have a right to just import music I bought already.

Yes you do!

Good luck with all of these.

Thank you! I hope I can manage too! 😊

Good luck with your harddrive! And taming iTunes... You're not even wrong wrt your point. (I thought that it would let you import your CDs! It's changed so much since I last checked in with it.)

Your goals are awesome! Good luck with them. c:

Thank you! All the CDs are already on a harddrive, I just have to reimport it to iTunes since I have a new computer! (And I don't just use iCloud to save everything.)

Ted Lasso has taken over so many of the Tumblr journals I follow! It looks interesting, but . . . TIME!

Oh man, I hope you're able to recover your hard drive. I've had a nearly brand new HD die and it is so frustrating. There might've been tears.

Good luck with your reading and writing and watching goals!

TL is such a great show! And it's not that long! The first season is 10 30 minute episodes, and the second is 12 45 minute ones - very bingeable and so heartwarming and honestly almost therapeutic?

I actually ruined my hard drive trying to update the drivers. 😭 So I did it to myself. Hopefully it is fixable.

And thank you! 😅

I wish I could make a "read more" goal, but I know it's doomed to fail from the outset! Hope you manage to make it this year.

Also, good luck on the computer/iTunes, and saving your tiny fandom from extinction.

Thank you so much! 🙌

If you haven't already found it, my most popular fanseries is Love Is For Children. I have other stuff too.

allbingo hosts a fest every month. Anyone is welcome to run one on their favorite fandom(s).

Ooh, that bingo community might be good to give members an incentive to fill prompts! Thank you for the recs!

That's the idea. It's a low-pressure, high-inspiration community. I'm happy I could help.
