(no subject)
I just remembered I never posted a post-yuletide reveal this year!
It's ok my fic was Minecraft so I'm pretty sure nobody here wants to read it anyway but for completion's sake:
Death, Time, and Sandwiches (2704 words) by melannen
Fandom: WitchCraft SMP
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Scott Major | Smajor1995/Milo (WitchCraft SMP), The Coven (Witchcraft SMP) - Relationship, Smajor1995 & ZombieCleo & LaurenzSide
Characters: Scott Major | Smajor1995, Milo (WitchCraft SMP), ZombieCleo (Video Blogging RPF), Lauren | LaurenzSide
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Sandwiches, even evil necromancers sometimes deserve a, happy ever after, Death, Flirting
I actually finished it unusually early (for me) and posted it before I got on the train to Alabama, and then didn't touch it again even though I meant to, which led to a minor panic after the deadline when the mods pointed out it was still a draft even though I was sure the assignment had showed as filled earlier. I un-drafted it immediately and it counted as my recip's story though so I think I didn't default? Unclear! I had a blast rewatching Witchcraft SMP and writing it, though, even though capturing voice in Minecraft fandoms is incredibly intimidating, so yuletide was a success this year either way. (If you are interested in getting started in watching Minecraft SMPs - which for the record I do not recommend! - Witchcraft is a good place to start, it's a relatively manageable amount of canon, a good mix of creators, and a good mix of all the things Minecraft SMPs can do.)
My story was for my social media anthro request! I suggested something possibly in the same line as the Dreamwidth/LJ fics I got many years ago, but with Tumblr/Reddit instead, and my author did a great job.

(
antimony_medusa has coincidentally also written a bunch of really good Minecraft fic, a lot of it SMP Earth, so I also got the bonus of diving into that afterward. No I'm fine, really, I'm fine.)
I made my goodreads challenge last year! Mostly by being smart enough not to raise the number when I made my initial goal halfway through the year this time. I read 43 actual books and the fact that over 10% of them were Murderbot still counts.
I have set this year's goal to 52 which is more than I've managed for awhile, but should be doable.Given that I read 30 million words of fanfic.
Last year I read 14 nonfiction books, 8 novels, 8 novellas, 7 children's books, 4 comics, one short story collection, and one book of poetry. (I need to get that comics number higher if I want to make higher goals, I think.Or get the fanfic number down. 26 were library books, of which 4 were ILL and the others were from my workplace; 5 were non-library ebooks; 10 were off my to-read piles, and two were borrowed from my sister.
I think for this year my goal is to read at least 12 SFF novels (or novel-length collections) by at least 12 different authors. That seems like it should be doable, especially if I read along with my sister's book club. I have read their January book already, so that's one!
I added approximately 180 new items to my LibraryThing so that's totally under control. If I read a book every other day I'll totally keep up!
And I published 24 pages of FAPA zine - I'd like to get that up to 32 but in that case I should actually get moving on writing the next one and I haven't even read the December packet yet.
My new year's resolution was going to be to buy a car, but I already did that! Go me. So I guess I can coast the rest of the year.
