Fandom Battle Recap

[impala_chick]

I participated in the fffc Fandom Battle to celebrate the comm's 10 year anniversary, and I was proud of my productivity! The weekly posting schedule kept me motivated. I finished with 489 points, which put me in seventh place.

Here's my tag.

I got into two new fandoms because of the battle. When it started, The Umbrella Academy was the only fandom I recognized so I binged the rest of s1 and 2. I wrote my first Umbrella Academy fic about Leonard even though he's definitely not my favorite character. I also got into Cobra Kai, even though I'm not quite caught up. WOW the tropes! The action! The heartwarming moments! The comedy! Amazing.

I also got around to watching Pacific Rim: Uprising, which was a fun ride. I liked it better than I expected, but the first is still such a classic.

I learned how to use pixl and made icons and headers and fanmix covers. I haven't made fanart in years so that was a fun experiment. I also made fanmixes for Teen Wolf, Julie and the Phantoms, and Pacific Rim.

I finished two Band of Brothers fics: a webgott piece and a crack Stephen Ambrose piece. I also started a Batman/Superman fic that seemed so ridiculously tropey that I abandoned it. I wrote meta for Teen Wolf and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

As for my Julie and the Phantoms fic, hopefully I will finish/edit it sometime soon and actually post on AO3.

That is so impressive! I would like to do it some day, just need to be in the right mood for that much productivity.

It was definitely a new thing for me... and the couple weeks where I skipped, I felt super bad. But I think overall, it was worth it.

Wow! I'm impressed. And that's very cool about making art for icons, fanmixes, etc.

Cobra Kai is too embarrassment squick for me (the teens are so awfully perfect), but as you know I do enjoy the fic. :P

[impala_chick]

Thanks :)

Yeah I can understand that - teen shows sometimes have way too much silly drama.

Amazing!

I'm glad we overlapped on a couple fandoms. Conspiring with you made the event a lot more fun for me.

[impala_chick]

Me too, I'm so glad we both participated!! It was practically a team event when it came to our fandoms :)
