Admin Post: Community Check-In for January 2025

[goss]

Tomorrow's the last day of January, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in January, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming art challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Man, this has been an absolute whirlwind of a month, and yet, somehow it feels like New Year's Day was AGES ago. o_O

I haven't done any art challenges this month, but when I've gotten a chance on weekends, I've been playing around with tiny crochet projects, and catching up on making watercolour postcards to send to friends. :)

You‘ve definitely had enough on your plate! I am really glad crocheting gave you a creative outlet. Oh and I‘m looking forward to a postcard from you, no matter when it eventually arrives. :-)

[goss]

Yeah, I like that crocheting is stress-free and I can do it at my own pace. :) Hopefully my card will reach you in the next couple weeks. <3

Got an icon done for iconcolors / moodthemeinayear done over here, and I have 2 more before I am able to post 'em! I'll be late... but I'm used to being very slow, so I'm just glad I got this one done!

[mific]

That's very cool!

A quiet time for me art-wise in Dec and Jan, with just one artwork posted for the due South secret santa: An Arctic Encounter. That's as it's been a fic-writing time for me, in SGA and due South. I'm just now doing a flurry of SGA art again for the lead-up to the Romancing McShep festival, and those will be revealed across the next two weeks. It's hot midsummer here in Auckland, so I get a bit done inside when it's too hot to be outside gardening!
