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 ^^
These past handful of years have been miserable that at the end of 2023 I was begging for a literal “happy” new year lol.
I’m a chronic doodler. I compulsively create (even on legal papers whoops) unless I’m deeply sick. However if anyone sees what I make is another story.
I never intend to be a first for a fandom! A dread of getting into something that is very indie and knowing, “uh fuck I’m the only one at this party” But yes! To inspire others! I’ve gotten a couple of comments like that for my Dino Run fics! I have no idea those who said they would write when they will be able to post anything,… There is a hope!
Heck, now there is another Sakuna: Rice and Ruin fanfic that isn’t mine! But it’s a crossover and none of the Sakuna characters are in it lol. But hey, no longer alone!
Oh goodness a NNWM vet! Well then excuse me! Then I hope as the intense practice continues, the habit will become smoother to do~
