*If you're not sure of my fandoms you can find some of them on my profile 😎

Day 14
Go forth and commit an act of kindness.

DONE. ☺️

Day 15

In your own space, write a love letter to Fandom in general, to a particular fandom, to a trope, a relationship, a character, or to your flist/circle/followers. Share you love and squee as loud as you want to.

To Fandom,

dear fandom in you I have found a place where my imagination can run free and my ideas can come alive. Where I can find the wonderful work of others who share similar interests and where I've also met some amazing people. I love fandom and I hope this year is a good one for all of us.🤓☺️


To the Merlin fandom,

You are one of the nicest, most wonderful and thankfully still active fandoms I've had the fortune to come across. Thank you for still being here and producing work I love. 💕 Thank you to everyone who keeps this fandom alive. You are MAGICAL. ✨✨

To the Hannibal fandom,

I love you fannibals dearly. You're smart, wonderful people, and I love how most of you will go down --like me-- with the show and Hannigram. 🍴🍷❤️


And to all of my other fandoms (I dabble here and there): Thank you for existing. 🙌🏻

Day 13

In your own space, write about a moment in fandom that meant a lot to you.

Fandom in general means a lot to me. It's a place where I can find like-minded people, and not just in regards to fandom. I've gotten the chance to meet fabulous people and that's been both important and fantastic for me.

Also, that one time I was one of the top three fillers on comment_fic😂💅🏽. I was on a roll 🔥 I never write so much in one sitting.

Day 12

In your own space, post a rec for fannish spaces and resources - comms, challenges, twitters, tumblrs, etc. Tell us about where you hang out.

There two communities where I hang out almost every week:

camelot_drabble despite the show ending years ago the Merlin fandom is still active and producing awesome works. This community focuses on dabbles and drawbles and each Friday there's a new prompt challenge.

comment_fic in this community you can find several prompts following the theme of the day, and there's a huge possibility you will find one that inspire you. I'm hosting there this week! If you're interested come join us!

I also like:

avengers_2k for anything related to The Avengers. Here you can find fics, fanmixes, art, etc. If you're a fan of the MCU I recommend this comm.

batfic every time I feel like reading Batman/Batfam fic I go to this community and without a fail there's always a fic that catches my attention.

femslash100 I used to post a lot to this comm, and I want to get back to it because I feel like there is not enough femslash out there. They have great prompts and challenges and so many drabbles to read you'll be busy.

Writer's block and lack of inspiration can be a hindrance when trying to write, Unlocking Writer's Block is a great place to visit to try and wake the muses from their slumber. Here you'll find writing exercises, prompts, resources and tips.

Day 11

In your own space, talk about a creator. Show us why you think they are amazing.


I debated a lot over this, see, I constantly enjoy the work of many different writers, artists, mixers, etc, who create diverse and wonderful content for several fandoms in which I dabble. It seems unfair to only speak about one creator when I'm amazed almost everyday by all who make fandom a wonderful and thriving place. Be it from the Merlin fandom, DC, Marvel, Supernatural, Hannibal, The Mortal Instruments. From books, TV shows or movie fandoms, there's always brilliant work to be enjoyed.

In conclusion all I want to say is: THANK YOU! YOU'RE ALL AMAZING!

Day 7

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. Arts and crafts. Draft a critical essay about a particular media. Put together a picspam or a fanmix. Write a review of a Broadway show, a movie, a concert, a poetry reading, a museum trip, a you-should-be-listening-to-this-band essay. Compose some limericks, haikus, free-form poetry, 5-word stories. Document a particular bit of real person canon. Take some pictures. Draw a stick-figure comic. Create something.


Oh, boy. I didn't know what to make. Here we go:

DRABBLE

Marvel | Clint Barton/Scott Lang | PG-13 | 659 words | Summary: Getting hitched in Vegas is such a cliche, but here they are.

Day 8

In your own space, make a list of at least 3 things that you like about yourself.

🌈 I don't give up easily and persevere when I find obstacles.

🌈 I'm a curious person and I love learning new things.

🌈 I'm an animal lover. If I had the means I'd adopt every cat and puppy I find on the streets. Both my kitties are rescues and I couldn't love them more. I wish more people adopted from shelters instead of buying. I know some of you have done it and I feel grateful for that. You're awesome!




Day 9

Send feedback to two fannish people — they can be anyone you want: a writer who’s made you happy, a moderator of your favorite exchange (not us!), a fanartist you avidly follow… There are so many possibilities. Just let someone know you appreciate their work.


This is actually perfect because one of my goals this year is leaving more feedback on fanworks I enjoy.

So...DONE! 😊

Day 2

In your own space, share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life. Something that impacted on your consciousness in a way that left its mark on your soul.

After much consideration--I struggled so much because I feel there's a ton of works that have moved me, changed me, shaped me, that never leave me and I'll always love--I finally picked just one. My choice was a very sentimental one and one that brought me joy. Little me loved this to pieces.

The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling

When I was a kid I struggled a lot with reading on my own because of my dyslexia, my mother would sit with me and help when the words and letters shifted and I got mad. She'd read aloud for me to follow the words with my eyes and even when I got frustrated she kept doing it. I did feel safe with her reading along with me, it eased my anxiety over it. There were also comics, and bright colored books and audio-books involved. One day she borrowed a book from my brother, it was The Sorcerer's Stone. I remember complaining because I had seen the movies, obviously I did not need to read the book, I already knew what was going to happen. She told me to try it. Despite liking books--since I have a memory there was always someone reading aloud to me--some days the idea of reading one with all those pages and words seemed terribly daunting for little me. I felt like someone would come out from the shadows to laugh at me for stumbling and tripping on the words. But after some grumbling I listened to her.

Today I'm glad I did because that book changed something in me. It was the first long book I read entirely on my own that didn't feel like a chore, I took it calmly, little by little and by the end I felt like I could also belong at Hogwarts. I wasn't like the other kids, I felt inadequate and awkward, but if Harry, Ron and Hermione found their place, so could I.

I'll always love HP because to this day I still take a bit longer than the average person reading a paragraph, but that's okay, being different can be magical, and we all have our things that makes us unique.






Day 03

In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

Fannish goals:

📝 Write more than last year.

📝 Read more fics and comment more often, leave kudos, etc!

📝 Being more active in my fandoms. Making art, graphics, fanmixes, writing fic, helping others, etc.

📝 Don't sign up to every fest, because then it sucks when I have to pull out because of lack of time or I miss a deadline :/ I vowed to only sign up if I know I will be able to complete my work.

📝 Meet more people who share the same interests.

Personal goals:

📝 Don't skip a single meal.

📝 Read thirty books.

📝 Begin to draw again.

📝 *Maybe return to ballet :o

Day 1
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.


Um, I don't often feel comfortable with rec-cing my own stuff, but I guess new year, new experiences and me trying to not be as self-conscious as I am when it comes to my contributions to fandom (I'm working on it!). That being said I do like some of the things I've made because I've spent a huge amount of time creating them or/and because I've enjoyed making them.

1. And damned if I do and damned if I don't
This was a fanmix and graphics I made for a Dick Grayson/Jason Todd fic for the DCU Big Bang 2016. I loooooved putting together the fanmix, see, one of my favorite things is making lists and playlists and choosing every song to match the characters and the story was a lot of fun for me. As for the graphics, oh man, I could spend hours upon hours going through panels of Dick Grayson's perfect face and Jason's lovely eyes.


2. The Other Selves
A Hannigram Soulmate AU I wrote because I never get tired of those, if I had the time I'd throw those two into several universes where they are soulmates and there is nothing they can do to change it.
Summary: In a world where twin souls are meant to meet one another and be forever bound, Will Graham remains a skeptic. That is until he crosses paths with Hannibal Lecter and his own mark appears. A scar burning red. A chase begins, one paved with denial and want, until Will can no longer hide the fact he's already met his other half.


When You Walk into the Room
Rare pairings are my life and this Steve Rogers/Scott Lang fic was a lot of fun to write.
Summary: Scott is Captain America's #1 fanboy and he's not even ashamed to admit it, or that he has a thing for Steve. What's more, he's taken to flirt with Steve if only to see him blush.



That's it folks!

Happy holidays to you all! I hope you had the best of times, ate delicious food, got awesome gifts and most of all that you shared a wonderful time with your loved ones ☺️🎄✨

I'm currently away from home and out of the country, I'll be back before New Years and I'll update with everything that's happened in the last few weeks. I hope to catch your posts too.


⛄️Christmas at Disneyland ⛄️

We're officially in Bizarro World. Congrats America on continuing to spread hate 😕

As a woman, the child of a Latina, sister of a LGBTQ+, with a learning disability and anxiety, I'm deeply saddened by tonight's results, because for months I listened to this man spew out hate against everything I am and more. Just goes to show how we refuse to accept the world's changed and we want to erase it.
