I'm off to a stellar start. I have no really exciting thoughts on it either but I DID want to make something of a challenge or offer of support, however you'd like to take it for all my writer friends (I was thinking original fiction but if you're strictly a fan ficcer, no reason you couldn't join in). I was thinking of setting aside a time (sunday, or whatever works) for the writers to chime in if they met their weekly goal or not (who knows, maybe I'll be moved to make a 'hey I did it' graphic to use).

I wasn't thinking of using a comm for it (though I DO have an old comm that could be used if people wanted to, [livejournal.com profile] nanomowhinging), since frankly, there's not that many of us any more on LJ. I'm not sure we need a comm. The goals are completely arbitrary, word count, chapter editing, character outlining, whatever it is YOU want to do that day. I find accountability keeps me working when otherwise I might not. Anyone interested?

Yearly Word Count -
1949 / 110000
(1.77%)


And technically it's all for [livejournal.com profile] 12_daysofficmas so not really good for much else. I do hope people are enjoying it.

My first goal is to: take it easy. I have to drive back to work and next week is the first week of a BRUTAL schedule. I'll worry about goals after the 17th.

Tonight and tomorrow is suppose to snow and ice just so I can't get to the damn doctor's. Well I'm not killing myself, he can send an order for the shot to my ortho in OH and he can do it. If it's terrible that's my plan.

Christmas is now officially packed away. Took until 8 pm tonight but it's done.

Well Day 4 was going to talk to new people so no real post for that. I was offline last night so I missed Day 5. Catching up now.

Day 5

In your own space, talk about your fannish origin story. How did you come to fandom, why did you choose your fannish name, do you have more than one secret identity? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I've told this story often. In 1977 I went to Star Wars for my 10th birthday and fell in love with Han, Luke and Leia. I started writing stories for them and sharing them with my friends. In High school I branched a little into Star Trek and heavily into Elfquest. These were in the paperzine days and pretty much since you had to have your mailing address out there, there were no pen names.

In 1998, I moved online with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and this was before everyone worried about stalkers etc so that was still in my name. When I finally made my blogs, I entitled them Cornerofmadness because frankly there is some crazy stuff in my head and my life is just plain weird.It took me a while, years, before I found an old college newspaper that I was one of the editor/writers for and saw the head editor used that as his byline. So that's why it was in my head.


Day 6

In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I've been busy with a livejournal comm all holiday long [profile] 12_daysofficmas. I have stories from all kinds of fandoms and three originals there so let me just link you to that. There'll be something for everyone there (if not mine, then all the other great writers and artists). 12 days worth of fiction

And the ONE day I had to go out there was so much snow I couldn't. I did get an appt later this week but it means a) I have to miss the big faculty meeting but you know what half the people dont' come anyhow. I made my excuses and whatever happens does b) had to reschedule my endocrinology appt. Sigh.

So I did boring things prepping for class and laundry and cleaning. Bah.

I stayed up late working on the [livejournal.com profile] fandom_stocking stuff and finished a little something for every stocking in need I was sent. I should start posting things here soon. if not, slap me.

And I did get more of the Snowflake challenge written up here

Here's a little author support here if anyone wants join me for that.

Since it was a dull day how about me finally dragging out the New Year's picspam )

And I FINALLY noodled around a tiny bit with the novel today.

Hey I loved the soundtrack for Agent Carter
