Week In Review | December Week 2
Posted my exchange treat!
I posted my completed treat on 11 Dec, four days before the official deadline. I feel unnecessarily competitive and therefore #onbrand with my ship >:3 Even after posting, my nerves on how the story will be received still have yet to abate. I'm trying to work through it now by starting another fic, one with kinks and a plot that makes it obvious that the story is mainly for me.
A vision for juicedguava 2.0: Version Dreamwidth
Like many who have jumped on to the DW bandwagon due to the recent Tumblr purge, I've been exploring the various communities on the platform. I've rebooted my own fanworks community![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
juicedguava, named after my first fanworks blog on Tumblr.
In 2019, I plan to move my static graphic edits from the Tumblr tojuicedguava, that is photo sets and a softer world remixes. I think I'll continue making GIF sets and to make up for the extra step of uploading them on another host for embedding, I can experiment with going beyond Tumblr size limits.
This week, I've made some shippy icons for the first time and learned how to use this handy website for generating the HTML for the icon table. It's been a refreshing experience to just edit pictures for the fun of it with no expectation for the final work to be of use for others. Once or twice I wondered what if I learned how to contribute graphics back when I was active on LJ fandom, but at that age when I didn't really have anything unique to express, it felt all the more awkward when I forced myself to contribute out of anxiety on missing out on all the fun.
Last year, I confronted that anxiety head on through writing and posting fics, and while it feels like a never-ending battle, each breakthrough gives me the confidence and courage to face the next intangible obstacle.
Completed this week's prompt for100words
Wrote a Naoto/Tatsuya drabble for Prompt #123 - Ghost and posted it on the comm! I've saved the post to my memories for posting on AO3 if/when I've written more drabbles.
I was more excited than I thought I'd be about posting on a DW space that isn't my own. I had to take extra care in formatting my post to look like the post of other members; a practice that I don't think is intuitive for fans of the social media generation. For that reason, I think that if there'd be another attempt to start up fan activity on DW, a lot of detailed handholding would be required to keep up the momentum for a significant (and perhaps finite) amount of time.
