Hello everyone =) Any fandomy news? Any fandomy plan? Let’s hear about it!
–
I am apparently cycling between “too dead to function, much less write more than a few sentences” → “writing a fill for a prompt in one sitting in a feverish daze” → “struggling to typocheck and post because too tired” and back to the start. That’s… not ideal.
The good news is that despite this I’m still going strong with the daily microfics, and I’m still writing daily even if some days it’s just literally one sentence. Any word is better than none after all.
The complex news is that there is new content for the currently-releasing game in my fandom and I’m too tired to play it. I feel very much like a frustrated mess x’)
Also this is the last week before the event “Finish What You Started” that focuses on finishing fan projects we started before the first day of the event. It runs from March 1st to April 30th and I’ll be participating to hopefully tackle some older WIPs from fandoms I lowkey fell out of. The Fall edition of last year helped me finish… three fics and one crochet pattern, so I’m hoping I can do nice things this time too!
(If posting the link to the event is not allowed I can edit, just tell me!)
I lately got into a fandom for an older indie game, and I never expected it would have any fanworks, and if it did, I expected them to have been written years ago. But when I looked on AO3, there was just one fic, written a little over two weeks prior. The author was really grateful for my comment, responding with one twice as long as mine…something that’s never happened to me before! A few months later, someone else commented, and posted a fic of their own a few days afterwards. I really want to keep the momentum for this fandom going, and it’s finally given me the boost of motivation I needed to finish—and publish—my first fanfic. It’s not done yet, but I have about a thousand words written as of right now.
That’s always a nice feeling. I love the surprise of finding that something old has new interest at the same time as I’ve figured out about it (or started looking into it). Good luck with the writing! I hope your fandom continues to grow in stories~
