  <title>Fannish/personal updates; Snowflake Challenge #11, 12, 14</title>
  <link>https://chacusha.dreamwidth.org/212584.html</link>
  <description>And here&apos;s the fannish and personal updates post. I think I&apos;m also going to use this as my last Snowflake Challenge post this year too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For February/March/April, I&apos;ve been taking it pretty easy in terms of fanworks, focusing more of my time on nonfiction writing and trying to prioritize pushing out overdue Dreamwidth posts. Most of my efforts the past couple of months have gone into &lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://chacusha.dreamwidth.org/212584.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;running events and modding stuff&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___2&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://chacusha.dreamwidth.org/212584.html#cutid2&quot;&gt;Current creative projects&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___2&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___3&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://chacusha.dreamwidth.org/212584.html#cutid3&quot;&gt;Reading&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___3&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://snowflake-challenge.dreamwidth.org&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.imgur.com/WR86Fx9.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Snowflake Challenge promotional banner with image of igloo and northern lights.

I&apos;ve made some &lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/collections/quodo_minifest4/works/53858605&quot;&gt;art for Quodo Mini-fest&lt;/a&gt; and also for &lt;span style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://phoenixdown-ex.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png&apos; alt=&apos;[community profile] &apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://phoenixdown-ex.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;phoenixdown_ex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, I wrote a &lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/collections/quodo_minifest4/works/53847361&quot;&gt;Quodo fic&lt;/a&gt;, I made a Quodo vid, and I&apos;ve also been making graphics for the various events I&apos;m running, so yeah, I&apos;m tired. XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___4&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://chacusha.dreamwidth.org/212584.html#cutid4&quot;&gt;Vid and graphics under the cut&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___4&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Challenge #12: Tell Us about a Personal Win.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My personal win I&apos;d like to talk about is that I have already been doing really well on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://chacusha.dreamwidth.org/208647.html#cutid6&quot;&gt;goals I made this year&lt;/a&gt; (friendslocked).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___5&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://chacusha.dreamwidth.org/212584.html#cutid5&quot;&gt;More on this&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___5&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Challenge #13: Make a rec list of fanworks!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m going to skip this one. I AM intending to make a Quodo or DS9 rec list once I&apos;m caught up on the tag, but I&apos;m still very behind and I don&apos;t think I&apos;ll catch up anytime soon to want this challenge hanging over me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Challenge #14: Try something new.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Done. As I mentioned above, some things I&apos;ve tried out for the first time this year include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Making a vid.&lt;br /&gt;- Making a Carrd website.&lt;br /&gt;- Writing an HTML-scraping script (it&apos;s the first time I&apos;ve done this!). Also, trying out a lot of Excel and/or Google Sheets functions I&apos;ve never used before like XLOOKUP, FILTER, and IMPORTRANGE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hell yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Challenge #15: Fandom Snowflake Challenge&apos;s 2023 Fandom Wrapped!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m skipping this one because I&apos;ve basically already done this / already do this each year independently. Friendslocked: &lt;a href=&quot;https://chacusha.dreamwidth.org/209686.html&quot;&gt;2023 Fandom Retrospective&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://chacusha.dreamwidth.org/208647.html&quot;&gt;2023 Writing/Fanworks Roundup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chacusha&amp;ditemid=212584&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
