Hey, is there going to be a secret santa this year?
Last year, I noted that I had plans tostart new offshoots of the Christmas exchange. I had started upwriting rules and moderation formats, and some entirely new exchangetypes. (For example, I got permission from the mod of Trick or Treatex to use the format for this community.) However, I underestimatedhow busy Iâd be this year. I took on some new stuff in work, and wascoming home at 11PM almost every night, and then facing a slew ofcoursework on top of that. And in September, I added on a writingworkshop, on top of my already very large slew of projects, bothfannish and original.
Something had to go, and it was moddingand a lot of fandom stuff which had to do it so I could have littleâme timeâ for things like sleeping. Most of my social mediaaccounts have been on and off hiatus for ages, and usually it takes anotification like me being tagged or something big happening to dragme on.
Since 2013, we had many rounds, fromthe prompting fest to the bingos to the exchange. Many great fanworkswere made over these 2 years and so of running this, and Iâm gladeveryone has derived such enjoyment and inspiration all this time.
As for the future after this year? Idonât know. I donât foresee myself getting less busy, but Iâm notentirely closing the door on it.Â
