So, the year on this hemisphere is starting to tip toward autumn. It won't really feel like autumn for me for a few more weeks yet. There is still The Holiday with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
pushkin666 and dreamersdare (we're writing it like that now which makes it seem like a movie, a slightly ominious one) which I kind of still count as part of summer fun. And then I'm away at a conference which I'm also taking as a mini vacation of sorts.
But then... the students return, teaching commences, and it'll be Officially Autumn.
And, in case you didn't know, I love autumn. A lot. It always feels really energising to me, I love the changing colours, the nippy air, the autumn clothes (cute hoodies and cardigans and tights etc). And of course... Halloween. I love my spooky season so much!
Last year I did a Spooktober writing challenge (not an official one, just one I set for myself) of a ficlet per day, all for different seasonal prompts, all different fandoms. Granted, I didn't quite finish it until, uh, December, but it was still a lot of fun and good for my word count and creativity. And I got several ficlets/fics out of it that I'm actually really pleased about. So...
Should I do it again? And should, because of insanity, do it so I can't repeat any of the fandoms I did last time? Now, THAT might stretch me. I have created fanworks for over 70 different fandoms but a) not all of that has been for fics and b) that rule would take out all of my most active ones... So these are the ones I did last time that would be out this time:
So now I'm thinking about what I could include in the 31 new ones...
Ones I have written in before and could therefore definitely produce a ficlet in:
That's 18... There are a couple of others but my initial gut reaction re them is 'uhhh maybe'...
Potential 'not written in them before but feel like I could' possibly with some revision of canon, fandoms include
Conclusion: It would be doable but also insane and I may not finish that until Dec again. I'll probably do it anyway. RIP my brain.
