Upcoming fannish things

[thisbluespirit]

* waybackexchange, an exchange for fandoms over 10 years old (for fic, podfic, art and vids) is now taking nominations! (I'm in two minds about signing up, because I like a bit of a gap between things, but OTOH, I do have rather a lot of elderly fandoms, and it's great to see vids as an option in a general exchange.)


* halfamoon - coming up soon! The annual celebration of female characters running 1st-15th Feb, with a prompt list here for advance warning, and there are usually some other fun bits too.


* plus a Sci-Fi/Fantasy prompt meme (actually a commentfest). Looks like fun!

I know what you mean about deciding whether or not to sign up for a fic exchange. I defaulted on a couple fic exchanges last year because the due dates came around at times I didn't have the energy to write. This year I'm trying to only sign up for ones that I think I can accomplish (we'll see how that goes). This one seems fun! And I'm in awe of people who can make videos because I definitely can't.

Yes. *nods* I need a breather. And this one doesn't send out assignments till after Chocolate Box finishes and it's tempting, but OTOH, I might want to do other things!

I think vids are the hardest things out of all the fanworks. EVery piece of software and hardware has it in for you the moment you start vidding. I've done it and made some okay things, but not like the amazing vids other people can do!

It's nice there's an exchange with lots of options:D And then I thought a fandom in the C21st can't be old, lol.

Ha, time moves at a scary rate!

10 years is "way back"? D:

[thisbluespirit]

I think it's Wayback as in the internet Wayback Machine!

I don't see where archive.org comes into it...? (other than that I suppose some fansites for eligible fandoms might have fallen off the net in the interim.)

It defines itself as "...focused only on canons that ended more than 10 years ago." 10 years doesn't feel all that long to me so calling it way back is like... well, depending on how you define when it ended, Harry Potter is a "wayback" canon by this measure, yanno?

I meant, I think it's named after the Wayback Machine, which makes sense to me.
