    <content type="html">Hi!! Finally finished my exams for this semester so I get to be a little bit of a person again :)&amp;nbsp;I still have a lot of other things keeping me busy and I am behind on quite a bit on here as it is. But I wanted to quickly update on fandomy things before I forget everything I've done since the last update. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fandom Events: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://merydian.dreamwidth.org/8632.html#cutid1"&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My Recent Fanworks:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___2" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://merydian.dreamwidth.org/8632.html#cutid2"&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___2" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recent Media Interests&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___3" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://merydian.dreamwidth.org/8632.html#cutid3"&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___3" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyone has been well!!

    <content type="html">A couple exchanges I'm excited for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://saturdaymorningex.dreamwidth.org/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday Morning Exchange&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;- 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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://seasonsofdrabbles.dreamwidth.org/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seasons of Drabbles &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;- 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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://diegetic-exchange.dreamwidth.org/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diegetic Exchange&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="https://earlybirdgetstheword.dreamwidth.org/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Early Bird Gets the Word&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honorary Mention - &lt;a href="https://femgiftboxes.dreamwidth.org/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FemGiftboxes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; still has some participants who need gifts! Gifting closes on the 29th. Check out the spreadsheet &lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ERic_-wOM_ijdnl2qrkbaNI5DWmc3BpHD_9Wr9BK_Aw/edit?gid=0#gid=0"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=merydian&amp;ditemid=8240" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Hii just want to link the &lt;a href="https://archiveofourown.org/collections/SpaceSwap2025/fandoms"&gt;Space Swap 2025 collection!&lt;/a&gt; I'm really glad I was able to participate this time around. It's one of my fave exchanges. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be posting a rec list once I look through everything more properly and life stops kicking my ass, which will probably be after this current school semester ends in... a while... Anyway I got SOOOOO many awesome gifts I cannot wait to be able to sink more into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you take a look at the collection, I'd love to hear what you liked! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=merydian&amp;ditemid=8133" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
