Thought doing a little round-up could be fun! This is not all-encompassing since I'm mainly just pulling what I posted on my AO3. I'm very scattered and WIP-centric so quite a bit stays on Tumblr or in messages to friends. I keep AO3 for things I finish up to my own standards, but I typically don't have the time to actually reach those standards... Maybe a 2026 goal will be to let myself be more lenient in that respect.

Anyway, listing and compiling things here still feels like a good way for me to feel accomplished. The fact I did anything at all is actually kind of a miracle considering the big gap between 2022 and 2025 on my account and creatively. Thank you Wellbutrin.

2026 Goals

( Read more... )

Hi! I've been super busy so I haven't been able to get on here a bunch. I think enough has happened for me to have a decent update, so here we are.

( Read more... )

I started watching it for background stimulation but I actually really like it so far! So now I need to actually make time for it, lol. This keeps happening with many shows I thought would be quick easy watches, oops. 

This feels very catnippy to me as someone who goes feral for cancelled low-budget sci-fi shows from a couple decades ago, AND IT HAS SO MANY GIRLS! Many of whom are from the ~Aus/Aotearoa 90s Speculative Fiction Cinematic Universe~ given all the overlap between it and Xena in particular with cast and crew. That's Amarice! And Cyan! And... other Cleopatra!

I can tell it's going to be something I latch onto and get a lot of fic ideas for, but have to proceed knowing there's not really a fandom anymore. I've been kinda spoiled hanging out in more active, modern fandoms lately! I've forgotten my lonely yet fulfilling roots of getting half a pity kudo from a friend and nothing else jalksdkjdf. 

Anywayyyy, anyone else ever watch it? I'd love to hear about people's fave characters/ships/fansites/similar recs/etc if so!

A couple exchanges I'm excited for.

Saturday Morning Exchange- Animated media focus. Nominations close on April 18th at 1pm Eastern, I think. Cartoons are a bit less popular in exchanges, so I'm really excited for this one because of how important a few are to me! And the minimum is only 500 words which feels very manageable.

Seasons of Drabbles - Drabble exchange! Nominations are open and will continue throughout signups, which I think end on the 28th. I've been missing... I think it was called Multifandom Drabble? For a while, so it's always nice to see alternatives pop up. Drabble word count limits are always soooooo good for challenging my creativity. I may not sign up for this round because the narrow timeline during a very busy few weeks, even though drabbles are such a low commitment, but we'll see. I still hope to keep an eye on things.

Diegetic Exchange - Focused on in-universe RPF, social media, fanfiction, and other in-universe documents. Nominations close on the 26th and the minimum is only 500 words. I LOVED a similar exchange a while back, Unconventional Fanworks, so I'm really stoked for this. I have a few fandoms that work particularly well due to the characters being public figures, like in Hacks and Yellowjackets, it would be so fun to see stuff for.

Early Bird Gets the Word - Exchange for small and inactive fandoms. Noms open in a few days and close on the 30th. Another I'm not sure I can join because the deadline but I imagine there'll be quite a few PHs or treat opportunities, so I'll have to nominate some things just in case.

Honorary Mention - FemGiftboxes still has some participants who need gifts! Gifting closes on the 29th. Check out the spreadsheet here.

I'd love to hear what events other people are excited for in the comments! Especially if you're aware of any exchanges on the horizon that allow fanvids or fanart. I really love having multiple mediums to fall back on or potentially receive.

 Hi! I got really busy with this school semester and work and family stuff so I apologize for not getting back to quite a bit of things yet ;-; 

Just rly intrigued by the new Murderbot trailer and wanted to chat about it! I forgot/didn't know this was happening lol.

It has been a while since I read... part of the series (oops) so I don't have a ton of thoughts. Just that:

Festivids reveals happened recently and I got SO many amazing gifts!! It also gave me an opportunity to actually finish a fanvid for the first time in ages and the whole experience made me get reflective about my experiences with vidding communities and my vidding history, etc. Sooooo first I'm gonna rec some vids and then at the bottom ramble for a million words or so.

Check out the full collection here!

I guess I'm going to format individual video recs as "Media that the vid is for | Song and artist | Vidder | Link"
Please heed the warnings in the tags and author's notes of each.

ANYWAY I would love to hear if you had any favorite vids from the collection or favorite exchanges or other events you've participated in!!

(First, I should mention I know I am behind on getting back to a lot of people on here! I keep ending up unpredictably busy :') But I'm not intentionally ignoring anyone. I just want to keep up momentum with the Snowflake Challenge in particular because I know if I fall behind I probably won't follow through with the rest and I really want to complete it this year.)

Onto the second one!

In your own space, talk about your fannish origin story. (Disclaimer: This ended up being a bit more like my fandom timeline than just my origin days, oops! Got too caught up in reminiscing.)
