Day 6

In your own space, create your own challenge. What’s something you want to see more people doing in fandom? Is there something you’ve tried that you think other people would enjoy if they gave it a go? Dare your friends to try it out, and have fun with it. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I think I'd like to institute a weekly fandom squee. Say, Fandom Fridays, in which you summarise what you've been up to for the week. Maybe it would involve fic recs, episode reviews, picspams, canon promotion, ficlet requests, music you've been listening to that reminds you of your OTP...

I think I'm going to give it a go.

Okay, I've totally been away for a few days, but you guys have got up to skip=40 and more! I'm kind of delighted by this.

Things in life are moderately terrible at the moment - I've applied for a job I'm not sure I can do while maintaining mental health, I've screwed up various financial things and I don't have the fortitude to work out how that's actually going to affect me, I've not actually done anything on the weekends at all this year up to and including leaving my flat, my nose is still slowly bleeding - but I'm feeling fairly optimistic anyway. If ever there was proof that feelings are chemicals and bear little resemblance to actual reality, right?

There are of course various things I know will make me feel better: spending more time planning effective lessons, getting caught up with marking, eating well, exercising more. I just am perpetually tired and lacking motivation. Considering that my nose is still bleeding and has been for a month I think this might be lingering concussion stuff? I hope so. I'd like there to be an end point. :D

Mostly I want motivation to finish the Person of Interest fic I started a couple of weeks ago. It's only going to be short, I know exactly what needs to happen, but committing fic in a new fandom is terrible and unnerving.
