Fandom Information (OLD)

Challenge #1

Update your fandom information. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

This year, I am (belatedly) participating in the 2024 snowflake_challenge  here on DW. 

Fandoms that I currently consume and produce works in: 

The Baby Sitters Club (main & peripheral series). I have an ongoing babysitters100 table that is found here, which I have been working on since I believe 2012? Somewhere around there. Of course, I have been involved in fandom since I was a small child. BSC (and Sweet Valley) were the first fanfictions that I wrote, even before I knew what fanfiction was. 

The Baby Sitters Club (TV 2020). I have written some stories in this universe. I have not seen the second season yet as I am in between my netflix subscriptions (how I wish that they would release it on DVD) but I am aware of the season's content. 

Harry Potter (books). I certainly don't agree with what JKR did either with the bones of a decent story or with her IRL thoughts that she insists on inflicting upon society, however, I don't see why that precludes me from taking her universe and turning it into things that she would absolutely hate. I have been reading HP fiction since around 2002/3 but only started writing this in earnest over the last couple of years. 

British Royalty RPF. I mainly write AU stories that do not coexist well with reality. The majority of my stories take place in AU versions of the 1970s-2000s. I have one story based in 2016 that I most likely will never finish.

Fandoms that I occasionally visit: 

Riverdale, Sweet Valley, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Glee

You will see me partake in these fandoms (and more) on occasion, especially during things like exchanges or threesentenceficathon but most likely you will not see active works of progress in many of them. The potential exceptions are Glee and Riverdale, though it is difficult to get myself excited about taking on a multi-chapter fic when I seem to be the sole person writing my pairings (FP/Alice and Finn/Quinn). 

Fandom that I can no longer write in: 

The Beatles: I wrote Paul/Linda stories in this fandom until one of my commenters wouldn't stop engaging with me on tumblr (it became an uncomfortable social experience that I couldn't gracefully extract myself from without finally just blocking her). It soured me on the entire thing and when I saw she was updating her own story I simply orphaned the works. 

Fandom Snowflake Day 2: Goals

Day 2 - In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

• Participate more presently in threesentenceficathon than I did last year. I forgot that the comm had started until it was nearly at the end and I would like to be more interspersed from the beginning, both with prompting and filling other people's prompts. 
• Finish at least one WIP, whether it is published or unpublished
• Work on at least one piece of Original fiction in the hopes that a completed first draft is feasible by the end of the calendar year.
• Find a full time job and accept the likelihood that said full time job will probably be a day shift. 
• Elect to not participate in exchanges because they are entirely too stressful -- picking up a pinch hit is fine as long as I know I can write it.
• Fill at least three more spots on my babysitters100 table.
• Attend all 12 meetings of my cousin's silent book club -- already attended the January one.
