aphrodite_mineDay 5: Try something new. I asked for atypical requests on Tumblr, and have a pin in the request to draw the Baudelaires. I just can't find my sketch pad. AND ONE CANNOT DRAW WITHOUT ONE'S SKETCH PAD. I've also been reading like MAD in a new fandom (Community) and am delighted to find porn and quite a bit of fic that is feminist and wonderful and BRITTA.
Day 6: In your own space,pimp promote three comms or challenges and explain why you love them.
~ rarewomen (on LJ) is gearing up again! There will be some administrative changes this year, but the heart of the challenge remains the same. An annual exchange for rare women in large and small fandoms.

fandomcalendar is extremely helpful.
~ musemostwanted (on LJ -- no idea if there's a DW equivalent) is a life-saver if you've ever dabbled in text RP. It's wonderful to stumble across someone who just happens to be searching for interaction in the same rare fandom you are. Even wonderfuller when ships align and sparks fly.
Day 7: In your own space, share something non-fannish about yourself. A passion or a hobby or a talent, something that people might not know about you. We are more than just our fandoms. I have a similar problem tosummerstorm , here, in that I talk quite frequently about my personal life, as it were. I also think that most of you have seen at least one picture of me. So I'm going to go ahead and copy Lix on this one and do a little video. If there's anything you want me to talk about or do, leave it in a comment. I'll try to have it posted by the end of the week.
Day 8: In your own space, talk about setting yourself a fannish goal. Big or small, it doesn't matter. Some examples: 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 putting off. Maybe resolve to be better at leaving feedback or answering comments. I'm working on setting more doable goals this year, and not letting myself get overwhelmed by something that's supposed to be an asset to my life. Fandom, I remind myself, is something that's supposed to be fun. A celebration. A gathering. So I'll organize when I can, write when I can, promote when I can, donate when I can, and not get so worried about the rest. The beginning of the year will consist of rarewomen organization and writing, galentinesday writing, and hands-on crafts.

For this year's fandom_stocking, I wrote one thing (I'd meant to write a lot more but WINTER BLUES YOU ARE THE WORST): you take a bite out of all the candies (Bunheads, Michelle/Truly) forcredoimprobus and received many lovely things including icons and recs and tropey Annie/Britta fic by scintilla10 !!

Your day 8 answer is pretty much my day 8 answer, short of the last-sentence specifics. I was debating setting some kind of real goal for myself, but the truth is I'm having fun playing tiny bingo with all my bingo cards and looking forward to the porn battle and I don't want to ruin that for myself. The other day I was going to start my picfor1000 assignment and then people on my twitter feed started talking about Lizzie Bennet Diaries fic and this comment ficathon that was going on, and I found myself going from "I can totally write this short story today" to "oh, I could write this and that and that and also that!" to "I can't do this, stress, panic, frozen." So I'm trying to steer clear of that direction.
As for day 7, I was going to say I'd like to hear about your writing process, but someone beat me to it on tumblr. So I'll just patiently wait for your video.

I still haven't seen the last season of Community. I must track it down sometime. And one day when I have more time to read fic again I must definitely read me some Community fic!
