In your own space, talk about your fannish history.
( Oh where to start. )
Challenge #4
In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.
Fannish: Finish my WIPs...
Non-fannish: (1) Make the Filmy Fern Shawl except with a different edging; I hate short-rows so much.
(2) Write original fic. This is hard because original fic is so different from fanfic, and what's more, I usually write m/m pairings (if it is romantic) and I still feel like I need to lead in with preamble about a person's character and sexuality before I can even describe a pairing, and that's exactly the kind of justification I hate in fanfics. ETA: The great thing about fanfics is that we all know that however strongly RL-tinged, it is still set in the canon-verse and is one (more) step removed from RL. Whereas original fic don't have that... cushioning.
