30 Day Mana memes

[chacusha]

There's nothing like December to make one panic about deadlines and having things squared away for the holidays and making sure the things you said would get done this year actually got done this year. Anyway, I'll talk about that more in another post, but for now, I'm keeping this post simple.

Back in January, hamsterwoman issued a challenge for snowflake_challenge to make up and/or fill out a 30-day fandom meme for a favorite fandom. It took me a while but I made ones for the Mana fandom (one for the general Mana series and one for Trials of Mana specifically), and I've been answering them throughout December and have been having fun seeing people's answers on Discord/Twitter/Tumblr.

If anyone on my flist is familiar with these games, feel free to do these:

I've been doing them on my Tumblr under #30 days of mana and #30 days of trials of mana. But I'll probably crosspost my answers here at the end of the month (I say, optimistically adding yet another thing that has to happen beginning of January to my to-do list).

~Yes, I concur with this so much! :D

Oh, I love those thirty day challenges! This post makes me want to create one for a few of my fandoms too, haha. ♥ I love the graphics you created and your challenges, though I am sadly unfamiliar with the Mana series and therefore can't participate myself. Seems really fun though! ♥

Glad you too know this hectic experience XD

Yeah, thirty day challenges are really fun! I crossposted this one in a bunch of Mana spaces and I've been having a lot of fun seeing people's answers. It can be a fun activity for sparking discussion in your fandoms. ^^

Ooh, including a graphic is such a great idea! :D Definitely an improvement to the challenge :)

I don't know the fandom, but more 30 day memes is obviously something I consider a good thing, so yay! Very cool that you actually made one, or rather two :D

I always enjoy making graphics! Thank you for the challenge/list of example question ideas -- I wouldn't have been able to come up with a list of 30 questions otherwise. <3
