Day 11

In your own space, make a list of at least 3 things that you like about yourself.

1. My creativity. I always say it the best part of me and I don't know how to exist without it.

2. I read, and I watch, and I analyse, and I have an eye for detail. There's no point creating something if there's never any audience for it. And the more impressed I am with you, the more I get to know you, the more detailed the comments I will give; and I will be honest. Possibly more detailed and honest than you'd like but that's another matter. If you want encouragement *and* concrit tell me and I won't hold back. If I beta read, I do it whole-heartedly.

3.I have eclectic tastes and know random facts about a variety of topics. I don't know everything about everything but I often know something about many things. And I will share my knowledge and link you to articles or recs. I will even do some research for you if the subject takes my fancy. It ties in with creating and reading, the last part of the triad is disseminating and repackaging information, bringing creators and consumers together.

Day 14
In your own space, share your love for something fannish: a trope, cliché, kink, motif, theme, format, or fandom.

Hurt/Comfort is my bread and butter. I could say more but I talk about it often enough that it seems redundant, though clearly I need better tags since I can't find specific posts to link to at this moment.

Day 7

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.
I'm going to choose a couple of things from my Renaissance shows.

Day 9: In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

I've been doing this since the start of the year :)
My entry Looking Back, Looking Forward mentions some of my goals. I also wrote for Snowflake Challenge Day 06 that I wanted to challenge my boundaries.
I made a f-locked list of fic I want to write, fandom specific, and I probably ought to make a more general list when I have ideas so I don't forget them!
I'm signed up Get Your Words Out again this year, and I usually like to complete one line minimum for any trope_bingo and hc_bingo rounds.
If unconventionalcourtship runs again this year I have a summary in mind :D
Also talking about NaNoWriMo with my sister and how productive it was for me and how it made November exist for me, she pointed out how I hate February too and usually lose out on the month. Maybe I ought to set myself a writing challenge for February. So I may well do :)

Day 4

In your own space, create a fanwork. (extensive list of possible ways to fulfil this at the original post)

Skipping ahead for the moment to day five:
Creators create for a number of reasons. Often, we find ourselves inspired, and in the moment, we create. But creation doesn't occur in a vacuum, and it's too easy to walk away from a fanwork without saying anything.

Creators create for themselves, but they need to know that they have an audience and that their fanworks are being enjoyed by others. Feedback is a way to get some validation that what you've created is good.

Sometimes we go to comment on a fanwork and we find ourselves without the words to express how we feel about the fanwork. Or we become overwhelmed by all the amazing comments the fanwork has already gotten.

Don't let either of these things stop you from leaving a comment. There's no prize for the Best Comment Ever, and the creator just needs to know that you enjoyed the fruits of their labor.

Day 5

Leave feedback for a fanwork. Or multiple fanworks. It can be as simple as I liked this to a detailed list of all the things you loved about the fanwork. The key is to leave some sort of feedback.
