Day 8

In your own space, talk about setting yourself a fannish goal. Big or small, it doesn't matter. Some examples: complete a bingo, sign up for a Big Bang, write that fic you've been thinking about for years, podfic that story that you love, make a fanmix for your fandom, post that bit of meta or reclist you keep putting off. Maybe resolve to be better at leaving feedback or answering comments. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Lawd I am terrible at keeping up with this. But hey, it's doing what I wanted it to do, which is get me back into blogging here.


Anyhow! I have two goals for this day. First goal is this weekend, damn it, I will go through and read through other people's posts for Fandom Snowflake Challenge. Because there's not much point in doing this if I don't, right? You don't develop community if you don't participate. (Makes me miss my college days of fandom. I was much better about actually participating then. Not sure when that changed.)


My other goal is to actually finish my Darker than Black/Legend of Korra crossover. I'm really bad at finishing things that don't have deadlines...and even when I do have a deadline, I tend to write the shortest possible. But I'd like to at least once in my life write a decent-sized fanfic with a legit first draft that gets edited by beta-readers and then rewritten before being posted to the internet.

So yes, my goal.

1) Write a first draft
2) Get beta readers to read it
3) Do honest legit real revisions
4) Profit Post


Let's see how I do.
