Challenge #9

In your own space, brag about yourself. Tell us what things you've done that you're proud of; the things that make you the wonderful person you are. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

For this challenge I'll mention the creative accomplishments I've done the past year.

On Tumblr I tend to do a yearly writing summary. For 2020 I've posted several chapters of my Pokemon WIP Foul Play and short FE3H fics. With Foul Play it's an arc that I had sitting on my drive for half a year before posting it and got a good couple feedback on that. I think for FE3H the ones I've been particularly fond of are The Lone Wolf and the Reclusive Bear, Head Over Heels For You, and Overnight Stay.

Besides that, I got into a couple FE3H fanzines! One is Solaris: A Balthus Zine and I'm a writer for that one. Another one is Sanguine Songbird : An Annette Fanzine and I'm a social mod there. I've been enjoying participating in both, so I would like try to get into a couple more fanzines if possible!

Thank you for giving us links to your writing summary and to the fanzines. That's something I'm curious about - fanzines... But I'm not used to even tumblr yet :) ♥ Congrats on your accomplishments!

Basically fanzines are a collection of art and fic from various creators with a theme around them. Sometimes it'll be based around a character, ship, group of people, or concept. I've applied to several but would get rejected by most of them. They tend to not be easy to get in depending on the turnout.

So as far as I'm aware fanzines have been around since the old Star Trek days. It was, I want to say in 2017, that fanzines on Tumblr began to pop up. Later many people moved to Twitter and fanzines popped up there, too. Before fanzines only allow art but many are allowing writing too but with fewer writers due to page costs.

And thanks!

Thank you for explaining to me... I must have heard about some fanzines there used to be before 2000 or so, and last year I saw one mentioned on Tumblr (which I still don't use much).

Thanks! Kinda happy I got quite a bit of writing done last year. The quarantine can do that to you lol.
