Challenge #8 asks us to talk about the things that we are doing, or plan on doing, or that we would love to do when we have time.
I really do appreciate the ways that this challenge's additional text tries to make it as clear as possible that things other than fic and 2D drawing art are welcome, and to some degree, encouraged to show off as part of this challenge. Getting to see cosplay, amirigumi, sculpture, stitching, and other art forms that usually get lumped into "crafts" (because some people believe art primarily done and associated with women is somehow "lesser") is amazing. That I don't have those skills is secondary. I can be a patron of some of those amazing things, much of which have made their way to my curio cabinet, bookshelves, or on my walls, or toy shelves, or lanyards that are now festooned with pins.
( What about what I'm doing, then? )
So, not doing anything that I would think of as super different or super something that needs lots of attention.
It's time to shine a light on your own fannish projects, whatever forms those may take. Ideas count too, so don't be put off if you have nothing concrete to show.
Challenge #8
Talk about a current fannish project (fic, art, vid, crochet, funko pop village) (that you are creating or enjoying)
[…]
One thing fans like to do is talk about the things they enjoy and create, and for this challenge we want to explore that. This is the time to let your creative side shine bright, and I just don't mean via fic. Though if you're writing/posting a fic right now; tell us, we want to know about your 10000k epic about Hawkeye, Lucky and the people who love them. But by the same token, if you're writing AU drabbles about Janeway the barista, well tell us about them, too.
But for this challenge, anything goes. Do you throw pots shaped like BB-8? Have you created a Funko village full of random characters where Jon Snow has a place next to Groot? Do you knit Pokémon? Made Roy Kent out of paper mache? Have you created a model Enterprise out of pipe cleaners? Have you recorded yourself singing The Black Parade with a folk song slant? Do you have plans to create a webcomic or have a list of things you'd love to podfic? Painted a portrait in oils of Venom? We want to know it all.
If you're creating it or have created, tell us, let your love and talent shine. The product doesn't have to be finished or posted, heck, even an idea that you've been thinking of for years will count. It doesn't even matter if those ideas will never materialise, we just want to know what you'd love to create if you could.
We're waiting to bask in the incredible fannish projects that are out there, no matter what form those take.
