Year in Fandom meme thingie - 2007

[eregyrn]

Well, everybody's doing it. Fannish output for 2007:

WRITING: it wasn’t really a big writing year for me.

SG-1: wrote “LEGENDARY” for the 2007 J/D ficathon

Pern fandom: wrote one ~5000 word story; wrote ~6000 more words for a group story yet to be published. Just wrote ~3500 words today on a story that by god I would like to finish this year. :P Might even do it.

EQ fandom: wrote 3 stories, ~2500, ~1500 and ~5000 words.

That? Is pathetic, for me.


ART: maybe my writing output was pathetic this year because I was in an art mode instead?

Pern fandom: 11 pieces (8 in color; 18 figures total)

EQ fandom: 50 pieces (most in color; 91 figures total)

Now that’s more like it! Also taught myself a new art medium (Copic markers).


Further, I can announce today that one of the pieces of art I did for EQ fandom was an entry for a juried fan calendar, and it was chosen for inclusion in the official 2008 ElfQuest FanArt Calendar (OMG was so nervous!) – I’m July. (http://www.elfquest.com/fan/fancalendar2008.html)

Bye-bye, 2007!

*snort* I have not, in fact, committed any elf/wolf porn yet. And I say "yet" but I don't really expect to. This is not to say that there are not parts of EQ fandom where you were once able, and perhaps still are for all I know, to find elfie porn. (Whit has some hilariously scary stories about groups she once belonged to.) We tend to be "tasteful", though, even when involving full or partial nudity.

You will I am sure be (no, "pleased" isn't the word I'm looking for; "bemused"?) to know that we did have a long discussion thread about "whaddaya suppose elf penises look like? 'cause they're not human, so there's no reason to automatically assumme... etc. etc.".
