meridian_roseIn your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts.
What I wrote that last year: Can we please do as most people asked on their fannish wishlist for day 4 and leave more comments? Can we journal more and create more? Can we rediscover the joy of fandom and stop with the "anti" behaviour? Please.
This year I have to say I've loved seeing more people come to/return to DW in light of the Tumblr purge. I did also find some communities actively standing up against anti behaviour and writing thoughtful meta about fiction, including at least one that's now at DWfiction_is_not_reality which helped me feel less alone. I've been spending less and less time at Tumblr and now more time here and I can honestly say I come away from DW far happier than I do from reading Tumblr. More community, more nuance, more focus on creating and supporting than "liking" and harassment. So yes, more of that!
Fanart is always welcome too of course!
Cheating because this isn't strictly fannish, but I always welcome more followers for my professional writing blogs, and I wouldn't have got this far writing original work and posting it without have the fanfic, LJ, and DW communities to encourage and support me. At the blogs I post fic snippets, flash fiction, poetry, writing prompts and more; I do write twists and modern takes on fairy tales and mythology, which straddles the border between original work and fanfiction!
My website has a WiP page for current novels in progress.
