Snowflake Challenge

Challenge #11 - In your own space, talk about your favorite trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme.

I've never really been much of one for tropes (I have done the "forced to share a bed" one for a fic exchange before) but what I do like to do is play with the timelines, imagining Character X didn't die or Storyline Y didn't happen. I also love alternate universes - the storylines involving the alternate universe on Fringe were always favourites of mine.

#12: In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

I'll start with the one I'm working on right now to get as many of my WIPs finished as I can. This is helped by the fact that there's a WIP push at 1_million_words which is helping me make some progress on that. Still need to find a way of screwing up the timeline of English history for the old Legends of Tomorrow idea for restoring the Princes in the Tower to 1483, but I will get there!

Getting my excessively long list of Lost fics from 2008-2012 (the point at which I joined AO3) copied across to AO3 - this is a work in progress, and apologies to anyone who's subscribed to me because you'll keep getting notifications about old fics from ages ago!

Getting caught up on my excessively long to-watch list - anything that was on my poll earlier in the challenge is something I intend to watch at some point, and I actually forgot some shows as well, still also open to recommendations (nothing gory involving cats please).

Getting my book bingo done, including the additional challenge I set myself to read from the list of substitutions as well, even tempted to pick up the one on LJ as well.

This is a more non-fannish one, but I did go back to my post from last year where I'd talked about knowing when to let go of goals, and I think I'm going to keep it for this year, applying it to the same thing that prompted it last year which was needing to stop worrying too much about setting myself tasks of finishing all my no-worker's backlog. I don't think at this point that I'll need to let go of fannish goals, but will keep it in mind in case it does get to that.
