queer_scribblingChallenge #4: Set Goals For The Year
These are going to look very familiar to last year's goals [PF link | DW link].
Goal 1: I would like to make progress on archiving my AO3 fic on SquidgeWorld Archive.
Goal 2: I would like to make at least one post [on any blog] for a book I've read.
Goal 3: I would like to post at least one fandom event into the PF Fandom Calendar community each month.

Goal 1: I would like to make progress on archiving my AO3 fic on SquidgeWorld Archive.
Yeah, I wanted to finish this archiving last year, but I think it'll be more reasonable to just make progress this year.
I'm pretty sure I only have multi-chapter works and one fandom left. I got hung up on whether I should just tag the one fic as Abandoned and remove it from the planned series, and then I needed to remove a few works from AO3, and I keep putting off touching a fic I still get comments asking about updates on. I'm not unaware that I could just copy things over as-is, but a part of me is like, we haven't thought about this fic since 2018/2019, and we probably need to admit it's at least on hiatus, if not abandoned, now. We're allowed to not finish a work-in-progress fic. No one will hunt us for sport if we do that.

Goal 2: I would like to make at least one post [on any blog] for a book I've read.
I have nothing against past-me for just wanting to make progress on my To Be Read pile, but I would also like future-me to actually remember to share something. It could be a post with chattering in the comments, it could be one nice quote, just something.
In terms of the mid-year update on the two books: I have not finished the time travel one. I think I have like five more pages in the other one, but my family watched the movie so it feels like I basically finished the book. It's the one I devoured in too little time, though, so I would like to do a slower re-read at some point.

I did accomplish this in 2024, and it's probably low hanging fruit in terms of setting a goal for myself. I usually try to catch something from the DW Fandom Calendar community, but for 2025, I feel like I ought to add in some other fandom event sources. I tend to find a lot of exchanges, and it just feels like I need to add in a little more variety, you know?

I didn't like underlining or highlighting books, and I think just making a post where I throw some quotes in the comments will be easier.
