In your own space, create your own challenge. Whatever your challenge is, have fun with it!

My challenge was to keep my temper under control while dealing with three sites: Photobucket, LiveJournal, and theForceDOTnet. Photobucket no longer does 3rd party hosting, so numerous posts on the other two sites now show the gray Photobucket box saying "get a paid account." Grumpy, I used LiveJournal for image hosting and am pleased to switch out the links on theForceDOTnet's Fanart Forum.

Downshift from pleased to grumpier, when needing to change LiveJournal's "friends only" status to "public" after an "OOPSY" moment. I met the challenge, did the switching, and am glad it's over. Patience with the internet is not my strong point. If I put stuff on a site, it bloody well ought to stay there! The site better stay up, too! I went and made a batch of pancakes and felt better. Here, have some:



In your own space, write a love letter to Fandom in general, to a particular fandom, to a trope, a relationship, a character, or to your flist/circle/followers. Share your love and squee as loud as you want to.

Dear Small Fandom,

I love you. I treasure each review, like, kudos and lurking view! You are precious to me and your creativity astounds: the artwork in particular. Dang, imaginative drawings and shades of nuanced glimmerings abound, along with graphic ogling delights in other pieces. Keep it up! In part because work has been so crazy, I have less internetting playtime and so your small scope makes me happy in large doses. Also good is this tumblr, which introduced me to the concept of incorrect quotes in other fandoms.

Love,

pronker

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a podfic, an icon, a sketch, a meta, or a rec list. Arts and crafts. Cross stitch. Draft an essay about a particular medium. Put together a picspam or a fanmix. Write a review of book you love, a ship manifesto, a you-should-be-listening-to-this-band essay. Create something.

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created.
