fannish 50 challenge!

[desecrets]

Thanks to maevedarcy posting about having signed up for Fannish 50 (challenge post is here, over at goals_on_dw), I got inspired to try it too!

I'm hoping to use it to post more fic and/or drabbles here, and also, to finally get going again on posting recs and working on my big Masterlist of fic recs.

It's entirely too easy for me to just get sucked into the fast-paced, easy-posting allure of tumblr and forget to use my DW, but I do enjoy talking about fandom, so a fannish series of posting prompts should be just up my alley. Fingers crossed!

As I make posts, I'll be linking to them in this post, under a cut.

1. yuletide reveals!
2. couple of fic recs (t.m.f.u.)
3. never too many rodents! (nosferatu 2024)
4. return of the bullet point entry (cadfael + classic who nattering)
5. happy birthday to the master (classic who fanvid + the terror writing)

Yay! I'm delighted to see it spreading by word of mouth. \o/

That's a good plan.

Short-form social media is the equivalent of a sugar hit: sometimes valuable for quick energy, but prone to causing an energy crash and little use for the long haul. Long-format things like blogs or fanfic hubs generate more energy over time and help build community. So thanks for contributing to that here on DW!

Check out the Interests search box, where you can see that a bunch of folks have added Fannish 50, which makes them easier to find.

Short-form social media is the equivalent of a sugar hit -- It really is! The thing about tumblr, too, is it's such a good place for the visual side. Hosting and display for things like fanart and gifs are both so streamlined compared to DW. (Pillowfort strikes a great middle balance here imo!) Tumblr having an app is also suuuch an enabling factor for me and my zero-object-permanence brain. I see app, I clicky.

Bear in mind that most later social media platforms were literally designed to be addictive. 0_o

Oh, totally. It's a shame -- tumblr is the only one I really use, and I've turned off push notifs and infinite scroll, but there's only so much you can do about the whole Web 2.0 thing.

I supported the FujoGuide to help people learn coding so they can make their own websites or programs. Maybe someone will make things that don't suck.

Good luck! I'm looking forward to it <3

Thank you!! 🩷

[maevedarcy]

yay! I love to see more of these posts going around and I'm happy I inspired you to sign up. Maybe seeing your posts will remind me to post myself and viceversa.

Let's hope so (I'm definitely going to need reminding, lmao)! 🤞😌
