Challenge #3 Pimp some Communities, Fests and Challenges

You think, with me actually being responsible for this challenge and having had at least a few weeks to prepare, that I would have more to offer. You also think, knowing there is only really one fest/community/challenge I really want to promote the heck out of and it is also the only fest/community/challenge that I, myself, run, that I would have gotten it all shiny to persuade people to give it a shot (I will, very soon, promise!) But, suppose those things you would also not really know me all that well, because, sadly, that is soooo very a ME move.

BUT! The fest itself is awesome (due hugely to the talent of those who participate).

So, for anyone who expresses their fandom love in a crafry, textile, yummy way, or who the arts, crafts, baking, sewing, knitting, book-making, candy making and so on is a fandom in and of itself I present:

[community profile] homemade2homemade A geeky craft exchange that runs roughly once a year (giving ample time to create and send your masterpieces). Sign ups for the 3rd round will take place February 1st (as soon as I get the community all gussied up).

And that's really all I got this year. I do urge you to read other people's posts for this challenge for there is A LOT out there and a lot of people to endorse it. Go! Find your thing!

HELLO!

How are you? How are things going? Working on anything fun?

The world is burning and everything is awful and I constantly worry about humanity as a whole, but I am going to be like the band on the Titanic and just play the fuckin' instrument until we all fall into the rising tides and drown. Or whatever.

But, for myself, I've been feeling like What am I doing? How am I spending my time and how can I use it better? And that brings me to writing. Which always seems like such a selfish occupation. Something I do for myself to keep sane. Then I read this from Neil Gaiman:

“My cousin Helen, who is in her 90s now, was in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. She and a bunch of the girls in the ghetto had to do sewing each day. And if you were found with a book, it was an automatic death penalty. She had gotten hold of a copy of ‘Gone With the Wind’, and she would take three or four hours out of her sleeping time each night to read. And then, during the hour or so when they were sewing the next day, she would tell them all the story. These girls were risking certain death for a story. And when she told me that story herself, it actually made what I do feel more important. Because giving people stories is not a luxury. It’s actually one of the things that you live and die for.”


♥♥♥

And now onto it, for there are stories to be told. Things to be made. Life to go on and ways we can carry on.

Lets share. Give us what you're creating, look upon what I've been doing (under the cut) to occupy my time when I'm not weeping for the planet and all its people. Let's build each other up.

My Craftiness is Geektastic )

And, since I started this post iin such a downer, I'll now end with sharing with you My Happy Place and Your Reward for Getting Shit Done:



♥♥♥ I love him so much! ♥♥♥

Sorry I'm late. I keep getting distracted. Story of my life really.

I have been busy with things, but nothing really WiP Wednesday worthy, what about you? What do you got?

Share your work, then come back to cheer on the others. It only really works if you do both parts.

I'm having a weird week where I finished writing a book, and finished the craft projects I was creating for H2H and now I have even less Works in Progress than I have normally had. It feels strange and almost empty? IDK... I'm sure I'll be swimming in things again soon. Or, I mean, I have ~things~ I always have things, but none of them I'm really interested on pursuing right this minute and none of them with a deadline... or a impending deadline (i.e. the only ones that motivate me). ;)

So, I'm here for all your Works in Progress needs! Give them to me! Let me (by that, I mean us, in this community of creators) cheer you on, commiserate and all that whatnot.

tjs_whatnot: (no one understands my genius)
Sorry for the delay. In related news:



BUT... I think I might actually be done with all my H2H shenanigans! I think. Maybe.

Enough about that though, lets talk about you. What are you all up to? What are you in the midst of? Almost done with? Just beginning? GIVE IT TO ME!

And then, PLEASE, peruse others' WiPs too.
tjs_whatnot: (Default)
Wednesdays man, they're like the Black Hole of the week.

Remind me that I need to update this journal with RL going ons sometime soon, k?

But for now, WORKS IN PROGRESS!

Give 'em to me! Read and encourage others!

I swear I will have something to share this week! I gotta sift through my files and find something (ANYTHING!) That has promise,

P.S. People reading this on LiveJournal, if I don't comment over there, ping me. I sometimes don't get notified, and it's so quiet over there, that I forget. :(

I legitimately realized just this minute that today was not Wednesday, that Wednesday had come and gone. OOOOOPS.

Blame it on Spring Break. Blame it on being distracted by medical stuff. But really, you should blame it on me being so immersed in WsiP that I've totally lost track of everything.EEEK!

Sadly, all the things I'm working on is for [community profile] homemade2homemade so I can't share it here...yet. But, I can take a moment to cheer you all on, belatedly.



So let's do this!
tjs_whatnot: (Default)
Wednesdays are just weird, man.

CampNano had begun and I've done nothing...except finish a craft project for H2H (big one still to go) and almost done my taxes. Turbo Tax tried to take all my refund for very little actual work, so I'm going try and do it myself. Yay!

But, enough about me, what are you doing? Give me something fun to read, admire. Let me live vicariously through your WiP(s) until I have my own (soon! soon!)

Make sure to read and cheer on others too, cool?

tjs_whatnot: (no one understands my genius)
Whoa! Is today really Wednesday? Sorry for the delay.

Please share your Work in Progress and let us cheer you on!
tjs_whatnot: (Default)
Share with us!

And then cheerlead/commiserate each other!

We can do this!
tjs_whatnot: (writing--quit my shitty job)
Let's do this!

Give me what you got! Read and comment on others' WiPs.

tjs_whatnot: (txt--want to lick your mind)
Well, this is officially the longest I've sustained an idea I've had (which might be why people who have known me for a long time are sitting this out, waiting for me to burn out--I get it, I wouldn't trust me either.)

But, I am here! Give me all your Works in Progress!

My only real WiP(s) currently are in the planning stages, which means I'm rewatching an episode of The X-Files over and over and taking notes for a review I'm writing. And I'm in the collecting materials phase in my H2H project(s).

What about you? Leave a snippet or piece and then read/cheerlead others. We're in this together!
tjs_whatnot: (writing--quit my shitty job)
Snow Day Edition!

I am home trying to get SHIT DONE, so of course, that means lets share our miseries--or triumphs if that's your jam. ;)

Give us a piece of what you're working on, let us cheerlead you closer to the finish line. Writing, art, craft, meta, podfic, what-have-you is all welcome, as is non-fandom related stuff.
tjs_whatnot: (no one understands my genius)
Again, sorry for the lateness, but I had to finish some things. Haha, which means, I have nothing to share today. All my things are either done, or in that exciting stage of beginning.

But, that also means I have all the time in the world to hear about your W(s)iP and cheer you on.

So, give them to me! Read and cheer others on too! Together, WE GOT THIS!
tjs_whatnot: (writing--quit my shitty job)
Holy crap, is it Wednesday already? Man, oh man, so behind in EVERYTHING!

I'll share a bit of my WiP later when I get home, but for now:

Share your Work(s) in Progress! Read/view other people's WiP! Cheer everyone on!

WET GOT THIS!
tjs_whatnot: (H2H)
Come!

Share!

Commiserate!

Cheer Each Other On!

Every Wednesday, come and share a bit of what you're working on, whether it be fic, craft, art, meta or anything in between. It doesn't have to be fandom-related. But, if it's for a anonymous fest and your stuff is to be secret, then maybe don't share that? You could share any struggles, achievements and whatnot though.

Feel free to read other people's entries and cheer/commiserate/bemoan with them.

Hello!

Usually when one goes on a Friending Spree, one devotes a post or two to introducing themselves to all their new, and potential friends. But, well, I don't know what to say. I might be all Me'd out after the FSC. So, feel free to ask me questions if you want to know more about me.

The thing you need to know about me--and this will come up a lot--is I am super behind on like, ALL of my commitments.

And I'm sure there are things I'm missing )

Alright, enough of this. I got to write some stuff down for legit. Please do feel free to ask me anything.

tjs_whatnot: (H2H)
AHHHHHHHHHHH! I am so excited for this!

I just love the idea of someone who geeks out about things like I do (even if they're not the same things) is going to make something for me. *sigh* It is the best!
