Admin Post: Community Check-In for July 2025

[goss]

Today's the last day of July, 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 July, 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.

NB: A Round-Up of art entries for the What Makes You Happy challenge will be posted on August 16th, since it's been extended by two weeks. :)

I did a couple of Murderbot artworks earlier this month, one a digital drawing based on a screenshot, and the other a different style, a collage/manip. Then the recent Podficcers one for "what makes you happy", and a few podfic covers in between.

I'm currently very into the movie "Sinners" and have started a complicated work of the big music/dance scene - having fun with that. Art and podfic are still combining well for me - making art while listening to podfic. :)

Ooooh! I've been curious about this movie! There's been so much positive buzz around it - must add it to my summer watch list. :D

Also planning to check out Murderbot, so I can doubly enjoy all the fannish works it's been producing. ^__^

It's a great movie! Unsure if it's still in cinemas, but it's also rentable on Apple streaming now. The music in it is so good, and it's very powerful. Vampires though, so lots of blood, but really it's about racism, and standing up to racism.

Sounds intriguing! Thanks for the heads up.
