257 | a new year, the snowflake challenge, & my 2023 gaming in review
Thursday, 4 January 2024 08:38 pmHappy 2024!
And for me, happy truly is the key word here—I’m entering this year in a such a good place. 2023 had its ups and downs like all years do, but I’ve reached such a good place in my personal/real life this year. The kind of good that I was honestly worried that I’d never manage to achieve. So, I’m entering this new year feeling quite happy and hopeful for the future. /sappy

snowflake_challenge again—and every year since my last successful attempt in 2017(!), I’ve failed at that. But not this year! At the time of my typing this, we’ve reached Day 2 of the prompts.
Day One’s prompt was to update your fandom information on your profile. I don’t really have an introduction post in the traditional sense, nor do I particularly feel the need to have an in-depth profile—I left those things behind back when I left lj. But there is one thing that I have changed my mind about, and that’s the interests portion of my profile. Again, it’s something that I used back in my lj days, but have always left blank here on dreamwidth—but now, that’s no longer the case.
Granted, it’s been so long that I’m not entirely sure what makes for “good” interests to include on it anymore, but regardless! I can always fiddle with it later; the important thing is that it’s no longer empty.
Day Two’s prompt is to set some goals for the coming year. I think that, fannish-wise, the main thing I’d like to do is make more space for writing again in my life. More specifically, I would like to finish some of my old WIPs—and even more specifically, I would really like it if I could tackle a good chunk of my list of Scum Villain WIPs—but really, the main point is writing, and taking joy in doing so.
► As the above suggests: I’m still rolling around in my Scum Villain revival feelings, yes. ♥ I’ve now finished reading the official translation—volume 4 was literally my final book of 2023, and I finished it on the final day of the year. Honestly, can’t think of a better note I could have ended it on <3 The intensity of my love for this novel knows no bounds.
► Here’s my usual gaming year in review round-up for 2023: ( beneath the cut )
► Still need to do my writing wrap-up—I haven’t looked what needs to go on there yet, but based on my memories, it should be a short one—but I’ve run out of time to do so before I need to go to bed, and I would like to post this entry tonight, so I’m just going to post what I have now and see about doing that + a few other things I wanted to write about next time.
