Snowflake Challenge Day 12

Day 12

In your own space, talk about what you think the future holds for fandom. What are your hopes and dreams for fandom? Do you have any predictions about what the next five years holds for fandom?



I guess this post (wow, from when I first started my lj!) and this project pretty much answer about my hopes and dreams for fandom! That first post suggests the possibility of fic writers working together with the original authors of the 'verses they're writing for, and then Kindle Worlds happened, so wow! Let me look into my crystal ball again .... I think fanfic will become much more respected and mainstream within the next five years, and transformative works will have their own place, with fanworks becoming more and more desirable to worlds' originators, and a mutually beneficial financial arrangement will emerge. That's my hope, anyway. To have fanfic written for a world I created ... that would be the coolest thing!

Day 13

In your own space, talk about setting yourself a fannish goal. Big or small, it doesn't matter. Some great examples include: complete a bingo, sign-up for a Big Bang, write that fic you've been thinking about for years, podfic that story that you love, make a fanmix for your fandom, post that bit of meta or reclist you keep postponing. Maybe resolve to be better at leaving feedback, or answering comments.


I have FOUR freakin' fics I'd like to write--an evil!Sam fic, a Sam and Dean resolution fic, an episode tag for "Hollywood Babylon" (this one may just be a pipe dream), and a sequel to this Samnesia fic--but I hate setting goals because I work extremely poorly under pressure, so ... I'll just say that I hope to, at some point, actually write at least two of them.
