Snowflake challenge #12 & #8

[schneefink]

Snowflake challenge #12:
In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

I already did that, but I want to add one fannish goal: rec something at least once a month. For a few months last year I managed to rec something fairly regularly on the community recs post on recthething but then I fell off again. To my own surprise I've realized how worried I sometimes am about being, hm, ~judged for the stories I like - which is stupid, and something I've made progress with when it comes to fandoms themselves but apparently not fic. Huh. Weird, and I don't like it; I'll try to work on it.

I already recced things in January thanks to the snowflake challenge (MCYT emduo, 4 fanart + 7 fic recs), but maybe I will manage a few more, and if not then next month.

Hey, I can combine that:

Feeling judged for your recommendations seems like a more normal worry for people these days, maybe for the same reason people feel judged (or entitled to judge) for what they create in fanworks.

Good skills to you in getting your goals done this year.

Thanks!
Yeah, sadly, but it somehow still surprised me.
