Happy new year!

[caranfindel]

It's hard to believe 2014 was my first full calendar year in the SPN fandom. You've all made it a ridiculously fun experience.

Thanks to all of you who have participated in my sometimes ridiculous polls, and read/commented on my fic and reviews. And thanks for sharing your own reviews and fic and art and meta and everything. Being able to talk, and laugh, and complain, and speculate, and fangirl with you guys... I can't adequately explain what it means to me.

I don't make resolutions, but I do have some things I hope to accomplish in 2015.

1. Continue to have a poll for each episode of S10.
2. Continue to write a drabble for each episode of S10.
3. Fill out a row on my SPNspiration bingo card.
4. Finish the sequel to my version of what happened after 9.23 before it, too, is completely Kripke'd.
5. Participate in another Big Bang.
6. Maybe participate in Summergen? I don't know. This one scares me.

Anyway. I've got work to do. Happy new year, y'all!

I've been so happy to befriend you too! I loved working with you on my Big Bang. <3

I'm afraid of Summergen partially because I don't know if I can come up with something for another person's prompt, and partly because so many contributors there are SO DAMN GOOD and I'm intimidated!

Writing to a prompt can be hard--I struggled a bit with what I got both years. But it led me to write stories I wouldn't have otherwise, so for me the struggle itself was useful. Maybe you could try Spring Fling first and see how it feels? I find it less stressful because the maximum is 2500 words, and the prompts are limited to a single word or phrase, so they can be interpreted very broadly.

ETA, because I just realized I didn't actually say it: Dude, your writing is great, and challenges are a good way for more people to see it.

Aw, you're too kind.

I don't know anything about the spring fling (or if I did, I've forgotten). Do you have a link?

Sure: http://spnspringfling.livejournal.com/ I think it's my favorite challenge of the year. It allows pairings, but there are enough people who ask for gen that it shouldn't be a problem to match you if you didn't want to write slash/het.
