Snowflake Challenge 2024 - day 2

Challenge #2

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So I assumed there would be one of the snowflake challenges that had something like this which was why I didn’t make resolutions/goals in my new years post.

Last year I had a goal to do monthly round ups. The hope of this was every month I would: read a book, finish a game, fic, watch something on each streaming thing (Amazon prime/disney+/netflix/shudder) and a few other things. That didn’t go as well as I hoped alas. (For example, of the streamers only Disney+ was what I watched something on every month.) So I’m hoping that this time I’m able to do it a bit better and actually do one thing a month for all the things.

(I might post Decembers later)

Some immediate fandom goals, that I want to do over the next few weeks, is I want to watch Dungeons And Dragons Honor Among Thieves again (I got the blu ray and haven’t watched it yet) and watch Interview With The Vampire (please still be on iplayer).

I also have a bunch of fic wips that I really want to do. I wanna do at least one a week (hopefully more) until they’re tackled.

Also ficwise I wanna get back to posting on ao3. I’ve kept meaning to put my kinktober fics up there but all kinds of irl nonsense has got in the way whenever I’ve planned to.

I also get back to doing song Saturdays again, where I’d post about a song/music video that I really like. I plan on doing a few in the run up to Slam Dunk but otherwise? I also had an idea during the June something to do a thing about albums I like, but I never actually got round to working it properly. So maybe I’ll do that

(And do an updated streamer post.)

Non-fandom things, I wanna get a doctor’s appointment sorted, but it takes a lot for me to build myself up and make the call and every time I’ve started something bad as happened to get in the way.

I know there’s some other resolution related thing I had in mind too, but I didn’t think to note it down so it’s gone out of my head. I know it’s gonna be something really obvious too.

And unrelated to the challenge, I’m gonna try and get Jago merch tonight but it’s limited to 100 pieces so can I get some good luck energy to be fast enough to get it?

Oh, I feel you on the AO3 one, how long have I been saying I will cross post my old Lost fics and I have barely done any of it?

I think Interview with the Vampire should be on iPlayer for a while yet, it usually says available for over a year and it's been nowhere near that. She says, having also been meaning to watch for weeks and not got round to it!

[shadowhive]

Aww no! Here’s hoping we both put some stuff up there this month! But I’m kinda glad I’m not alone there

I looked after seeing this comment but then got distracted but it is there! I watched the opening of the first ep and it looked promising, but then got into a fight with mum just as it got going and ugh it tainted it a bit. But I hope to start it properly soon

I keep meaning to watch Dungeons and Dragons (for the first time!) and forget until someone else brings it up. I get you on the monthly round up posts too. Good luck with it and the rest of the goals! :D

[shadowhive]

Oh I hope you’re able to! I saw it in cinema and thought it was a lot of fun (and Xenk!) so I definitely recommend it!

Yeah I thought I’d made them do able last year but nope, it quickly devolvednd then more things got added

Oh thank you good luck with yours!

[turlough]

All the good luck with your goals for the coming year, both the fannish and the non-fannish!

[shadowhive]

Aww thank you!💜

[badfalcon]

It's always very rude when IRL gets in the way of fandom! :(
Good luck with your goals

[shadowhive]

Yeah it really is! Bleh! Thank🖤

[vriddy]

The Dungeons and Dragons movie was so much fun :D Enjoy the rewatch!

[shadowhive]

It really was! I’m hoping to watch it this weekend sometime and I’m excite to see it again💜

It is a sure thing for the challenge, really.

Those are good goals, and I hope you do the song Saturdays again as I enjoyed seeing your choices.

[shadowhive]

Yeah, just like day 1 is the update one!

Awww thanks, I hope so too, I enjoy doing it but I so often fall behind or get distracted
