Hey everyone, Friday round-ups have been a while so I guess we can make this a full January round-up ^^

Anything fannish or fannish-adjacent you want to share about January? A cool project you started? Progress you’re proud of? Something you’re happy to have finished? A new discovery maybe?

Do you have plans for this weekend? (Or beyond?)

–

As for me… January was overall a slow month for fannish stuff but during the last days of December a friend over on Mastodon started posting daily, one-word prompts for small fancreations: microfics, doodles, and other things you can do in little time (you can find the prompts and fills with #FanPrompt if you have an account on something federating with Mastodon). And… I’ve done them all! Every single day! I never wrote microfiction before and I didn’t expect to have so much fun with it, so that’s a neat discovery ^^

Plans: aside from continuing with the microfics prompts, I have a more standard fic I should finish in the coming days, and I decided to try to challenge myself to write at least one sentence (outside of the microfics) per day. Even if that sentence ends up being one word. I want to see if the forced regularity is better for me than forced productivity (X words in a month). Suspense ^^

    I missed this weekend. Was too busy recovering from January!

    January was overall horrible for me because of a lot of life stuff. I have managed to keep up with my writing, but I’m not as far ahead as I’d wanted to be. Didn’t even do everything I wanted this weekend. It’s Femslash February, so I wanted to have something to post every day for it. I’ll run out of what I had prepared for it in a few days and have no idea if I’ll be able to get more done in time.

    I’m participating in a minibang though and that’s my priority. As it always is when other people are involved. :) That and my usual weekly chapter. Still haven’t missed a week in one and a half years and I don’t want to start now.

      (Virtual hugs vibes over trash January.)

      Considering its the expected norm to not finish all of a prompts given for a challenge I think you’ve earned a few incomplete ones given how insane you have been in finishing so many in the past!

      All of this seems harsh! Congrats for managing to keep writing through the Life Being An Annoyance, even if you hoped to accomplish more that’s already super badass! I hope life stops being an annoyance and you can get some rest.
