I feel I need to do resolutions of some kind. Something difficult and uncomfortable, which returns to this idea that resolutions are supposed to be unpleasant things, that one must gird themselves to do.

...I don't know. I do many unpleasant things already; adding more seems counterproductive to my zen. But all the pleasant things I'll do anyway, which leaves a sad list of resolutions. Seriously. Resolution one; write more porn.

So I give up. Anyone, ten fannish things I should do this year. Or two. Or one even. Something I can put a checkmark beside and look upon in satisfaction. And does not involve reorganizing my tag list, because really. That's just getting disturbing.

ETA:



1.) Leave more feedback. - [livejournal.com profile] boniblithe
2.) Rec weekly. - [livejournal.com profile] apetslife
3.) Write something in a trope outside my comfort zone. Bonus points if its something I hate. - [livejournal.com profile] monanotlisa

How about, make at least one rec a month in your LJ, of a story you've read and enjoyed? I LOVE it when people on my friendslist rec stories, because oftentimes I've missed them or otherwise wouldn't know about them. And it brings the authors more readers, too!

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2008-01-06 10:09 pm (UTC)
I usually do! For some reason I lost the habit of reccing the last couple of months; yeah, no idea why. Well, I was also reading less. Hmm

2.) Rec weekly.

1.) Write more genderfuckery.
2.) Give concrit to people who like it (http://monanotlisa.livejournal.com/profile).
3.) Twist at least one trope/cliché till the end of winter. (Twist it hard. It likes that, I promise.)

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2008-01-06 10:12 pm (UTC)
1.) I have no idea what I could do in genderfuckery. Seriously. It's all been done better before. Hmm.

2.) Ha, no. I'll do long recs with mixed things inside, but not concrit. That way lies madness. Unless I make a sockpuppet for it. Which would be--actually, not a bad idea.

3.) Such as? *curious*

Dang, I was going to say "Leave 1,000 pieces of feedback," because I was considering doing that--it'd be doable, in a year--but I'm just going to admit now that it probably won't happen.

Instead: Write one story in a style you've never written in.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2008-01-06 10:13 pm (UTC)
I think I leave around 200 a year or so, if I'm right. However, this suddenly inspires me to track it.

Ooh. I could track my feedback and see what proportion it is to read stories, and why I leave feedback for some and not others.

...I could make a spreadsheet.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2008-01-06 10:27 pm (UTC)
I can send you the working version of the next story; I really don't knwo when it will get done, since the one directly before it is being cowritten, and teh one right after it is done and basically waiting for these two.

That work? Email me at jenn at thegateway dot net and I can add you to the googledoc version that is up.

God, I would do almost anything for more Stranger fic. I just reread everything you've posted so far in that 'verse, and I'm still completely in love with it. Do you have any more in the works, or is it another WIP that's just hopelessly stuck?

Beyond that, how about... Collaborate on something with someone you've never worked with before.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2008-01-07 01:42 am (UTC)
*blinks* Um. Well, no, ti's not stuck. It's a complex neurosis that is embarrassing to explain, but--I can be petty? So I stopped writing it.

Huh. Okay. Wip Strangerverse. Adding it.

Okay, I totally did not see this in my inbox or I would have answered. This year, probably not; I can't take off work that long with my new job. I *think* I'll be able to do VVC, if it's not during a major update, but that'll probably be my first extended time off (with the hope that there is no pneumonia coming in this time. *crosses fingers*).
