Day #15: In your own space, create your own challenge.

I took the Small Fandoms Flashfic community's alphabetical list of challenges and made it into a comma list that can be copy+pasted into a bingo card generator. I was going to try to make this a self-imposed challenge earlier in January of this year, but I dropped the idea of doing a bingo card when my brain seized upon a new fandom. I am releasing this idea into the void for anyone who'd like to have a Small Fandoms Bingo or a way to work through the catalogue of Small Fandoms Flashfic prompts.

According to this post, AO3 fic can use the collection [smallfandomflsh] or tag [Community: smallfandomflsh]. Those on Dreamwidth may be interested in posting guidelines for the community that are under 8, 9, and 10 of the Rules.

Day #10: In your own space, rec a fanwork (fic, art, vid, playlist, anything!) you did not create.

I have fic. Specifically, I have two oneshots where Sirius Black/Severus Snape is tagged, but you could also use an ampersand or squint and miss it. I have a multi-chapter that's more definitely Sirius/Severus that's more about rebuilding after a war you didn't expect to survive with a bit of Jewish!Severus included. Finally, I have Part Two of a series that's more about time travel and changing one's mistakes than super focused on Sirius/Severus as a ship. (There are a few notes about Part One, which might be too squicky or triggering for everyone, and I don't think it's absolutely necessary to read Part One before giving Part Two a try.)

Day #8: In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, a gift of your time to the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.

2021 was a year of slowly inching towards the finish line and getting into the next year. I honestly can't remember if I contributed to Fanlore last year or the year before. I got one fic that I started during the spring 2020 lockdown finished and uploaded, but to make up for that, I also started like four WIPs in the last quarter of 2021. It's not that I feel like I failed at anything in particular, but I just don't know if I really had a personal win in 2021. (I guess I got a sticker for participation and making it to 2022.)

Day #6: In your own space, create something.

I tried to write a drabble for Ordinary Joe. Then it got a bit longer and branched out to each Joe's perspective. (And then I alluded to other colours / realities based off different decisions.)

Anyway, "Mixed Palettes" is a brief look at each Joe meeting in one instance set after Blue Joe (or Cop Joe) runs into that burning building in episode 9. Despite my lack of AUs in my response to the third day, this fic is marked 'AU - Blue Joe Dies', and Major Character Death is warned for.

Day #5: In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time, talent, and/or energy to do.

I have a whole folder of Google Docs and several documents in Libre Office devoted to various works in progress, so I think I can leave a breakdown of all of those off. Maybe I'll talk more about them at some point if they've sat for a certain number of years, or something.

Other ideas that I wish I had the time, talent, and/or energy to act upon:

Knitting something that James Herriot got for his birthday in All Creatures Great and Small (TV 2020) s01e06. Honestly, look at that scarf. There's another photo in the episode 7 recap, too.
Coalescing my thoughts in an actual post on how if you knew about polyamory before watching the episode on S.W.A.T. (TV 2017) where Kira and Ty were introduced to the canon character, you could see the red flags and the signs that the triad was not likely to work out. (Canon poly, but at what cost?)
I still kind of feel bad about abandoning the Holiday Fic Prompts for that triad after only four stories, and I kind of wish I could finish them. But it's so hard trying to Fix It my way through writing for a ship that I was sailing alone. (Honestly, not even the show writers were sailing it.)

Day #4: In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you.

It's incredibly unrealistic, but I wish there was some sort of external object that I could hand off to someone else, and while I didn't physically have it, I could just magically pause all plot bunnies. I know I mentioned in view-locked posts that seasonal mental unwellness happened as we transitioned from autumn to winter, and I was slowly rolling downhill surrounded by ideas.

It's not, you know, fun. It wasn't even like my prior experiences with what seems to me to be hypomania where I went up and felt great during the time it happened. (I sort of tried to see someone about a professional bipolar diagnosis, but I was one day shy of officially meeting their criteria for a hypomanic episode. Hence wibbly-wobbly imposter feelings about mentioning bipolar at all.)

I know various creators talk about ideas that multiply behind their backs and being overrun with plot bunnies. I know some people have talked about parts of writing being more of a chore - or work, in a sense - than fun for them. I know some writers have sort of talked about feeling like characters were using them to get into the world or whatever.

But feeling like my brain is holding me hostage because I have a new idea right now and I need to write something down - even if I feel like shit or I'm not done writing down the last new idea - takes away some of the fun hobby quality of fanfic writing. I wish I could pause new plot bunnies, especially around seasonal changes, because I'd rather have a small amount of fun out of this hobby.

Day #3: In your own space, put some favorite characters into an AU, fuse some favorite canons together, talk about your favorite AU/fusion tropes, or tell us why AU/fusions aren’t your cup of tea.

I'm not really one for crossovers, including fusions, and I've only read them when a fandom event involved it. I don't have anything against the idea of a crossover, or anything. I just don't tend to gravitate towards reading or writing that type of premise without a bit of a nudge, especially if I don't know one of the universes being added into what I do know. For some fandoms, it's also easier to get rid of oneshot collections that have been piled into one fic with, say, 15+ fandoms tagged by excluding crossovers in AO3 searches.

AU fic is such a sprawling idea that I can't say that I haven't used it, but I also don't usually set out to write AUs.

Day #2: In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

Over the weekend, I already made a goal for fannish content here on Pillowfort:

I am going to post or reblog at least one fandom event each month into the Fandom Calendar community.

Outside of Pillowfort, I'd like to finish at least one WIP at some point in the year 2022.

Day #1: In your own space, update your fandom information!

I tend to use Pillowfort to share personal reactions after an episode or grumble-slash-vent in a view locked space, so I don't have a lot of fandom content on my fort that I'd consider interesting. I'm not even sure I'd say I'm a 'fan' of some of the series I've mentioned, if someone expects me to like the canon and engage with fannish work relating to it. However, I have some of my tags below the read-more for anyone who'd like to get an idea of what I've grumbled about.
