I write a LOT - thousands and thousands of words and what I wish that I could do is write one of those long, epic fics with its own universe. 25-30K is about it for me. I have no idea why I can't seem to do this... could be my natural impatience or my short attention span... but I'd love to be able to do an epic.
In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I meant to do this one the day it came out and I just felt so blahhh that I have written hardly anything since last week maybe. But here goes.
1. For myself, I would love art for any of my stories, particularly Steve and Natasha ones. You can find my work on Ao3. I also like podfic and remixes. MY transformative work policy is on my profile.
2. For me, I'd also love a beta/fanfic friend for my work. I don't know of those exist anymore. I write MCU mostly but check out my Ao3 link above for other fandoms, if you're interested. I'd love to beta for you, too.
3. I'd love to see more community in fandoms. Back in the heyday of Livejournal and Yahoo Groups, we had a sense of community and friendship that is harder to find today. I'm mostly here at home with hubby and most of my social interaction is online so some fan friends would be fantastic.
4. I would love for fandoms to be more tolerant of all types of writing and writers. Tumblr seems to have brought a strange landscape to fandom - a cliquish, unwelcoming one. We don't all write or read the same stuff.
05:19 pm - To all my Babylon 5 fan friends - B5 Love Month is back Babylon 5 Love Month returns in February this year! The goal is to post something to the Love Month community every day for the entire month. What can you post? Fiction, art, podfic, videos, essays, lists, recommendations – if it’s about B5 and shows your love for the show, go for it. The fic, art, and such does not have to be new but we would prefer that it not have been posted to Love Month before.
Sign up for the day(s) you want. If we fill all the days, then posting more than one item on a day is even better!

I am not big on fusions and AUs though I do one now and again. I actually belong to 2 communities to urge me to do them - whatif_au and intoabar.
I find I still prefer canon AUs over coffee shop and such.
I wrote the above just for this challenge. I love Tolkien and MCU equally and Bucky mentioned The Hobbit in Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I am not really a goal setter.
Having said that, I am a big fan of Get Your Words Out. I did not meet my goal of 300K words last year due to surgeries and medical emergencies so I am hoping to reach that goal this year. GYWO has made me make writing a habit, as well as something I love.
Another goal is to write longer stories this year. Last year, with an impending surgery that was dependent on when Covid allowed it, I did not join a lot of challenges and this year, I hope to do many of them again. I'd love to do a couple of Big Bangs and Bingos, and most of all, finish my MTHs for 2021.
I have several communities here on DW that I'd kind of neglected last year and want to kick start those again as well.
That's pretty much it for me.
