Joined the Fannish 50 of [community profile] goals_on_dw challenge again. Did not quite make it last year, since I only had I believe 30 posts, but hopefully this year will be better - I think I'm starting earlier and I want to keep active on here so I think *fingers crossed* I'll make it this year.

I also signed up for [community profile] inkingitout (for the first time) for 75,000 words. Am I sure I can reach that amount of words? Um, not really since I'm still rusty, but I technically wrote over 10k words of fics in 2025 without really trying, I figure I can at least try for more. Also they count blog posts which I usually end up rambling in anyway so that should help.

I haven't quite decided if I'll participate in a 2026 Big Bang yet, which would definitely help with the word count challenge. If any, I'd probably lean towards the [community profile] marvel_bang since I've been writing the most in that fandom, but I'm still undecided not that their 2026 challenge info has dropped so I probably have awhile to figure out if I want to do it or not. I'm also thinking of the next [community profile] smallfandombang & but again I'm unsure of what fandom to even do or if I'd even feel inspired to do anything.

I did find out that [community profile] adventdrabbles isn't doing another year which sucks (even if it's completely understandable and I could always go back to previous prompts for inspiration) since I only found out about the community this year (er... I guess last year technically). I am thinking of doing something similar for [community profile] 40daysofdrabbles (which was originally Lent - if only loosely- inspired anyway) community I started. I don't think it'll take much to post a prompt each day in for only 40 days, since I have mostly succeeded on getting online nearly everyday the past month or so (minus the week I was away) even if it was only for hour or so. Or maybe others will help volunteer for certain days. I don't know. If anyone is interested in this idea let me know and I'll definitely do it.

I am thinking of joining [community profile] crackthewip - I have several WIPs that has definitely been gathering dust on my computer that I should probably finish & publish. I think I like the lower stakes than the [community profile] wipbigbang which I was thinking of - plus there's no word minimum which is awesome.




Plus of course I want to work on the tables I've already gathered. I'd at least like to finish a couple of them this year at least.

Challenge #1 - The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

I guess I might as well make a new pinned post!

As of now, I'm a 29yo Spaniard, law & politics graduate, and amateur writer. I write both fanfic and original fiction, though the latter is (largely) unavailable to be read rn. I hope to change that in the coming year. 

I've done this challenge a few times (one in a past journal). I always think of it as a way to meet new people, and to be more active on dreamwidth, something I more or less managed last year.

I want to keep this intro post short and sweet, so I'll just offer a few links of other places where you can find me.
  • My ao3 account, for any and all my fanfics. I keep it locked and screen comments, but this year I intend to edit some old fics, and I've been thinking about crossposting them over here.
  • My patreon, currently under construction (and likely so for the next couple of months, as I'm going to be pretty busy). At this moment, there's a short story/teaser to my current WIP available for free.
  • My storygraph account, where I post reviews (sometimes just the stars, sometimes something more throughout) of the books and comics I read.
  • My tumblr account, where I am most active.

Another thing about me is that I love owls, so when I saw this banner, I instantly knew it was going to be the only one I'd use for the event LOL. I love its creepy eyes xD

Every year, just for fun, I go back and look over all the fic I wrote in the past twelve months. So here are the results for 2025!

I posted a total of 53 complete fics on ao3, with a wordcount totaling 52,909.

The previous year was around 56k words, so I was a bit lower this time. But I'm always happy if I surpass 50k each year.

1. Your main fandom of the year?
Detective Comics Comics remains king.

2. Your favorite film you watched this year?
Sinners, and it's not even remotely close. I have seen other films I've liked this year (Rope, La virgen roja, May December, Farewell My Concubine, American Fiction), but Sinners truly made me fall in love with every aspect of it.

3. Your favorite book read this year?
Harrow the Ninth, in terms of novels. City of Corpses for non-fiction. And Wonder Woman: Historia for comic books. 

4. Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
Rosalía's LUX. Another not-at-all-close case, even if I've listened and liked many other albums this year. Honourable mention to Miley Cyrus's "Something Beautiful," I really loved it.

5. Your favorite TV show of the year?
Pluribus, no contest <- saaaaaaame. Foundation will probably be a close second, but I just finished season 1. And Twin Peaks might win, if I had actually finished it lol. 2026 task.

6. Your favorite podcast of the year?
innerFrench. Highly recommend it if you want to get started on learning/improving the language.

7. Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
Calling it a discovery is a bit exaggerated, but it's the first time I participate in Yuletide and I'm SO impressed by that event, its organisation, etc. I wish I'd had time and especially energy to write more than one gift. Definitely a 2026 task lol.

8. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
The shit that went down with Gretchen Felker-Martin's Red Hood run. Especially how some fellow fans reacted. Vile.

9. Your fandom boyfriend of the year?
Jason Todd remains my top guy for the third year in a row LOL. Shout-out to A-Train from The Boys, because I was pleasantly impressed by his storyline. And Manousos, obviously.

9. Your fandom girlfriend of the year?
Carol Sturka my FUCKING beloved. And shout-out to Demerzel (Foundation) and Sofia Falcone in The Penguin. I have yet to finish that one too, but you guys don't know what I would do to for that woman...

11. Your biggest squee moment of the year?
The Pluribus season finale. I was GIDDY with joy during Carol and Manousos's interactions and I am incredibly excited to see more of them. So much that even missing the show, I'm not mad about having to wait. It'll happen when it happens.

12. The most missed of your old fandoms?
I'm flirting with Black Sails again lately...

13.Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year?
What if I said Yuletide LOL. Well, that too, but I've been thinking a lot about organising some time of smut event (likely a ficathon or a gift box) for rare femslash ships in the DC fandom, maybe during the summer. I'll have to see if people are interested, but even if it's only a few handfuls, I'll be willing to put the work for it.
And the three-sentence ficathon, of course!
