Challenge #12

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Before setting this year's goals, I'm going to take a moment to evaluate and reflect on last year's goals.

2022 Fannish goals:

• Create and post 4 fanvids ✅

My success on this one depends on your interpretation, I created 1 full length vid and 4 mini vids. I'm calling it good enough.

• Finish and post a fanfic ✅

I wrote and posted a 100 word drabble.

• Read 50 books, 7 nonfiction, maybe finish up some of the series where I only have 1 book left to read but I lost interest ❌

 Lol,nope. I got 26 total books and 5 nonfiction (a more thorough breakdown is located here). I also didn't finish any series, the closest I came was reading the two Culture novels I had on my TBR shelf, but I still have two left in the series to finish it off.

• Finish reading the 2015 main Star Wars comic run, I only have 3 volumes left so this is pretty achievable ❌

Also lol nope, but in my defense the series was unavailable in physical copy for most of the year (unless you wanted to spend ~$60+ on a used copy of a single volume that usually retails for $17.99... which I finally did with some christmas money). Marvel seemed to have discontinued some of its paperback back-issue stock, and I have had not-great experiences trying to read comics in digital.

• Socialize more in fannish spaces ❌

Lmao nope.


2022 Non-fannish goals:

• Cook more & try a new recipe at least every month ✅
• Get an eye exam❌
• Go back to college and don't fail out ✅
• Compile the app I spent the past year working on ❌

So, on to 2023 fannish goals:

• Read 50 total books, 7 nonfiction.
• Finish reading the 2015 main Star Wars comic run and the concurrent Dr. Aphra run, start reading the 2020 run written by Charles Soule
• Finish at least two of my currently in-progress Star Wars vids.
• Make another Babylon 5 vid

Non-fannish goals:

• Get an eye exam
• Find a new PCP doctor and get my epi-pen renewed, it's is so expired
• Continue cooking from scratch on a regular basis and try a new recipe at least once a month
• Enjoy life as much as possible, maybe find a direction that feels meaningful along the way.
• Get out hiking more
• Visit The House On The Rock

Quite a few repeats, but they're still things I want and a goal is a helpful target even I I miss the metaphorical bullseye.
