Running to stand still
Happy new year, darlings.
I have nothing to report! I've kind of fallen into that funk where I don't feel like I have anything to contribute by posting, so I don't post, and then the feeling that when I do post it needs to be with exceptionally interesting subject matter, which I don't have, and it all just compounds. But! Whatever, it's a new year, clean slate, so I am getting over myself. :)
The other implication of the new year is that I am giving up the ghost on pretending that I'll ever go back and feedback the 100+ stories I have saved in my memories with the intention of commenting on them. Instead, I will just go back through the list and move them to my recs categories, and resolve this year to not let myself click on a story unless I'm willing to take two minutes at the end to give feedback. (Also victims of the clean slate effect: any unfilled ficlet requests or half-done fics, minus a few exceptions listed below.) I think that's a nice and neutral and attainable fandom resolution.
Other fandom goals for 2007:
How about you guys? Do you have fandom resolutions? Did I miss all of them when I was sleeping sixteen hours a day all weekend?

Other fandom goals for 2007:
- try to write at least one story every other month. I NEED to finish the fic for Anna, Nan's long-overdue birthday amensia fic, and my own damn spn_flashback fic first. Then that will be a clean slate too.
- write Nuge whenever I get the hankering, even if it's just a paragraph or two. To this end, if you've got a Nuge prompt, leave it in the comments and I'll pick one to do today. ♥.
- comment more in my friends' journals. I sort of have this lame tendency to wait for people to come to me and, I don't know, sometimes I wonder if that makes me come across as standoffish. This is me, being proactive! And friendly!
- to either have more patience with people and/or comms on my flist when they bug, or take them off my flist. (I'm looking at you, supernaturalfic, for allowing art and icons.)
