Challenge #9

In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.

2023 was busy with some real life stuff, but here are some fannish related goals I achieved and I am proud of:

1. I wrote over 30,000 words (if you want to know about my writing stats and what my top performing fics where last year check out this post)
2. I joined a new fandom! Our Flag Means Death! (I've had my old faithfuls like SPN, Star Trek, and Good Omens for a few years, I've been dipping my toe into other things for awhile now, but it is so nice to be really invested in a fandom again)
3. I applied for and got the position of Social Media volunteer with Fanlore!
4. I participated in 13 exchanges, 3 auctions, 6 Big Bangs (as an artist), 2 comment bingos, a couple of fests, and one kink meme!
5. I completed two vids this year! Vid 1 - Rowena SPN, Vid 2 - McSpirk Star Trek (One of which I did in three days! Like who am I? It usually takes me forever to complete a vid)
6. I completed my 100 Fandoms Icons table!
7. I completed my Book Bingo!
8. I moderated

fandomtrees successfully for the third year in a row!

Update: the winner of my poll from my last Snowflake post is Han/Luke! They won by a slim margin over the Star Trek ships. Thanks to everyone who voted, and keep an eye out for that Fanlore Ship Sunday post at some point in the future.

Oooh new fandoms are always fun, that sounds like a good time :D Congratulations on all these wins!! And on moderating

fandomtrees, I didn't participate myself but saw plenty of people on my reading page absolutely delighted with their experience. Great job!! :)

Thank you! I'm happy to hear that people enjoyed themselves.

WHOO HOO! I love your list!

Thank you!

That's a nice looking list! You've been busy!

I have. Thank you!

Yay for new fandoms especially, to spark that fannish joy!

Yes!

That's a great list! Props to you for your exchange stats, book bingo and icons table. Book bingo sounds so interesting. I'm trying to read more this year, so I might just give it a try.
