this shouldn't be difficult, should it?
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. -
boniblithe
2.) Rec weekly. -
apetslife
3.) Write something in a trope outside my comfort zone. Bonus points if its something I hate. -

4.) Track my leaving feedback versus number of stories I read to find out what proportion of fic I feedback and why/why not. Possibly do it publicly. -

From: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: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*

From: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.
