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

Hi hi, I'm Killaurey! I'm also Killaurey over on AO3. I'm Canadian, just into my 40s, and I'm doing this challenge in an attempt to use my journal as more than a repository for fanfic.

(It's mostly a repository for fanfic.)

The main fandoms I write for are Naruto and Harry Potter, though I dabble in various video games, including FFVII, Xenosaga, and Lunar, at times. I've even got a Rings of Power fic started but nowhere near ready to post. (Also the Tolkien fandom and fic is amazing and very intimidating to me!)

I'm a huge fan of anime, JRPGs, fantasy and cozy mysteries.

And cats. I love cats so much. Here's a picture of my cat, Tasslehoff (commonly called Tass, the lad, and my troublesome son) helping me put together his new cat tree (which was his Christmas gift this year):

This is the list of books I am planning to read this year. As with the previous lists, I'll add books to it whenever I manage to get my hands on something new, and I'll strike a book once I finish it.

The list. )

Another December, another Christmas come and gone. Another year about to begin. 

I badly needed this time off. 

And I badly need to keep up, not the momentum, but some of the habits I've been cultivating over the last week and a half. Which is staying off social media more often (largely not a problem, save for the wasted time I spend on Reddit) and reading more, be it in fits and spurts or in a long sitting. 

I actually managed to read 10 books this year, which is more than I read last year, and probably more than I've read in a year since I graduated undergrad in 2006. Something about English degrees just royally fuck up your momentum. 

I gamified my reading for the year by making it a challenge on Good Reads. (My challenge was eight books.) 

Of the 10 books, at least two were "meh." One of them because it was a very easy (simple writing, fairly formulaic) popcorn read. While I have nothing against popcorn, I don't want to read popcorn just to inflate my book count for the year, just to hit a challenge goal. 

I'll keep setting challenges, but I'm going to make it a point to sink my teeth into the somewhat meatier books I have on my list. Maybe I don't finish them quickly, but whatever. I just need to keep up the reading habit. I miss it when I'm not doing it. 

And with those habits increased, I'm hoping they'll lead to an increase in other habits (particularly writing). 

On this New Year's Even, I'm not making any big resolutions apart from building these habits and continuing the ones I've already built. 

Though I am planning a project for this January, and maybe February, which will be writing a haiku a day to get back into wording.

The last two times I've done a month of haiku, I published them on my WordPress blog. This time, I might keep them for myself and see if I can do something else with them at a later date. 


Happy New Year.

  at [community profile] xmen100 and [community profile] mcu100 - both ends January 10.

Also at xmen100 we hit 100 drabbles made for the community! So *dance party*! If you've participated - ever, at any point - THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. Still have a ways to go for mcu100 (only 34 drabbles so far) but still proud of it. Hopefully more people join up & participate in both communities.

I managed to get a few gifts done for [community profile] fandomtrees, although not at many as I wanted - so hopefully I'll be able to work on some of those on New Years Day since I'm off both jobs. I meant to get more things done yesterday but I slept most of the day away (omg did I miss my bed and cats!!). Anyway there's some needy trees out there, if anyone is interested! (Not sure which ones exactly) for more information check it out HERE.

There's a gay bar in DE that is doing something for New Years Eve, and honestly I'm not one to celebrate the "holiday", like ever, but this year? I want to do something different and HOPEFULLY have some fun so I am actually going to go out to a gay bar. Maybe I'll meet someone? Or at least get some dancing in (hopefully??? IDK if there is a show or not). I need a good dance I think. It's been like years, and this past week kinda stressed me out. Yay family. Love them, but sometimes it just hurts being with them. Plus I want to try the apps (ugh) again, *fingers crossed* I don't spiral again.

Anyway Episode 6 of Heated Rivalry has met my expectations and was absolutely wonderful. I can't believe how fucking addicted I am to this show, my tumblr is basically just me reblogging all the Hollanov & Skip I can get my hands on. Just found out about a Hollanov Big Bang tumblr - not going to sign up but I will definitely be reading!!! Anyway I spent Friday night after everyone else went to bed on a couch at my sister's house with my headphones on trying to keep my squealing/joy quiet as I watched episode 6. I definitely need to rewatch it on a big screen though. Ugh, the actors were all brilliant. CANNOT wait until Season 2.

Did I just create a community for the show/books? Yes. Yes I did ---> check it out here [community profile] gamechangerhr  - I invited a bunch of people to it (hopefully you don't mind) - I plan to post to the promotional DW communities once I get a banner set up. I'm thinking of making a friending meme within the week. And maybe a challenge? I have no idea yet.

Also watched Fallout episodes 1 & 2 of Season 2 - I definitely enjoyed them, although I was shocked at how much was familiar to a few fics I read for Cooper/Lucy, but they might have been after the S2 trailer had been released now that I think about it. I didn't see the trailer when it was released mostly because I feel like the trailers show too much of the shows/films.

Also fairly recently adopted [community profile] supergirl_tv (the community dedicated to anything Supergirl, not just the TV series although that's the majority of the content). I'm already planning a Supergirl Summer Drabble-a-Thon thing for it in honor of the new Supergirl movie coming out. Banner's been picked out & everything. The drabble-a-thon won't just be for the new movie, but for any universe Supergirl appears in. I don't have all the details worked out exactly, since we still have months away for that - I probably won't get details together/posting about it more until probably around May. April at the earliest.

Anyway that was my roundabout way saying I'm completely looking forward to the movie. I know it's not exactly my normal choice for Kara/Supergirl but I'm excited to see a new version of her. Plus I loved Superman (2025) and I have a feeling I'll enjoy this one as well even though I wasn't completely sure about it before the trailer was released. I do want to read the comic book it's based on though before the movie's release. We'll see if I actually get to it.

I'll probably do the end-of-the year memes/questionnaires within the next few days since I definitely need to head off to bed soon.
