Challenge #12

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year.

• I want to write something for my alt. AO3 account (i.e. problematic™ smut). I have like half-a-dozen reasonably detailed outlines already but this is the year I'll start turning those into proper fics I swear…!

• I've got a headcanon that Rosalina is aplatonic so I wanna write a fic about it! I wanna at least find a good story idea, because I don’t want it to be Aplatonicism 101 (I don’t like reading fics with queer headcanons that just sound like they're reading through a wiki) but I don’t have any other ideas for aplatonic joy yet…

• I've been in the planning stages of a project where I go through all the fics tagged with Kamek's name on AO3 and read every single one so I can categorize them based on if he's actually a character in them or if you could just replace him with a magic wand taped to a block of wood and call it a day. There's a bit less than 300 fics in there right now, which feels doable. There will be an AO3 collection and probably also a spreadsheet. I will probably suffer massive amounts of psychic damage because I'm not taking fic quality into account. It'll be fun! At least I wrote some of them, so that's…9 fics I don’t have to worry about? (^.^;)7

• Similarly, I want to at least start planning a project where I replay one of my favorite games (Paper Mario: the Origami King) and record myself talking about it! Kind of like the Let's Plays of old, except I'm not charismatic enough for that, lmao. I just wanna talk about all the cool things and trivia about a game I like. I have to actually play it for a second time though first, so maybe that's the true goal for this year…

• I got comfortable with making icons last year, so this year I wanna venture into making GIFs. I have all the tools, I just gotta sit down and learn, really.

• Finally, I…need to get back into Ring Fit Adventure OTL I gotta finish the story mode at least — I don't even think I got halfway through! I need to be exercising more, anyways.

Best wishes with gif-making, especially. I agree, 300 fics sounds eminently doable! :)

I like the sound of your goals.

Good luck with that. I hope it actually is fun :)

Those all sound reasonable! I have been interested in gif making in the past but I just don't have the patience to learn. Like you, I just started getting comfortable making icons last year. :D

Good luck with the goals!

The aplatonic Rosalina idea sounds interesting, if for no other reason than to winder how she ended up in charge of all the Lumas (and how she relates or doesn't to them, since the Lumas seem to be boundless amounts of energy.)

Good luck on your Kamek project! You'll probably find more of the magic wand types than the others, but organization is a good idea.

(Yay for problematic smut!)

And definitely hurray for putting things out there and learning new skills.
