2014 Roundup
Dec. 31st, 2014 02:48 pmHappy New Year's Eve day. I'm at my dad's place in NY, having been at my mom's place in Elsewhere NY this morning and
synn's in NC yesterday. Tomorrow, back home to MA. Whew. Looking forward to that. While I've enjoyed the visits, especially with
synn, it's been 11 days since I've been alone for more than a few minutes. Hey, at least I made it 8 days before opening the laptop and giving it a metaphorical hug.
And now for the annual fanworks roundup:

I think this year I did make peace with the lower fannish output that accompanies having a more creative job. And I began to get back in touch with what I want these days in a story. Going back to worlds I've loved in the past, including the Vampire Chronicles and Harry Potter series, helped with that, as did shrugging off, imagined though it may have been, community criticism over Mary Sue narratives. What I want is still different from what I wanted a few years ago, and it's still not entirely clear to me what it's becoming, but it's a real relief to have found that there is still something to want -- that there is still wanting -- and that there are places in fandom, either individual or communal, where it can be found. If that makes sense.
To 2015 and whatever fannish loves it holds in store.
