Challenge #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.

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.

Goal 3: I would like to post at least one fandom event into the PF Fandom Calendar community each month.

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?

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

I've done a bit of an update to my Dreamwidth profile and Intro post. Most of my Pillowfort entry this year was a slight update to tags:

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.

I have a tag that goes on all fannish content of my own - fan scribbling. Due to the naming conventions of some shows, I also tag tv shows if applicable. As of January 2025, I've tagged such shows as: All Creatures Great and Small, Annika, Ghosts, Killing Eve, Only Murders in the Building, Magpie Murders, Monarch, Pose, Prodigal Son, Supernatural, The Ark, and What We Do In The Shadows.

Due to the nature of venting, some content is view-locked and other fandoms have also been referenced without being explicitly named or tagged (example: Harry Potter). My view-locked tags: #followers only, #mutuals only, #login only.
