Challenge #7
In your own space, create your own challenge. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
2020 was tough, but with any luck 2021 might be a year of rediscovering at least some of the pleasures we've had to put on hold. In that spirit, I invite you to apply the sense of rediscovery to your fandom life too. Check in on an old fandom you haven't visited in a while. Re-watch a favourite film. Revisit an old community. Re-read and comment on that fic you've loved for years. Write/draw a character you haven't done much with lately. Reach out to old friends.

I wish for health and happiness for my fannish friends, who already give me so much.
Challenge #9
I am proud of the event I co-mod, the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang. Artists submit Tolkien-themed art to be claimed by writers, who write long-ish fics (5k+ words) based on the piece they claim. Raiy and I threw the first one together on a whim in 2018; we saw a small increase in art pieces submitted from Year 1 to Year 2, and then last year the event just exploded. 116 artworks were submitted, and at least one fic was written for each.
We've already had people asking about 2021's event, which we're hard at work on, and we've brought three new co-mods on board to reflect the size of this beast now. I can't believe we've gone from being a casual event with participants who mostly all knew each other, to an Actual Fandom Thing, but each year we pull it off and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Let's just hope 2021 stays true to form...!
