Fic Corner was fun. I like the story I wrote for it. I actually wrote for a fandom I hadn't matched on-- I didn't offer the Chronicles of Chrestomanci because it includes several books that I've only read once and because people often ask for characters I don't remember from my reading. My recipient asked for a straightforward crossover, however, with a book I love. I couldn't resist.
I don't think I could handle Jukebox. I don't recall in detail how it works, but I know very little of the music that other people seem to like. (My taste runs to top 40 from the early to mid 1980s and folk music from even earlier.)
Two challenges that I used to love didn't happen this year. I liked Remix a lot. It was always an interesting challenge. Then there was the Finish-a-thon where people posted a list of plot bunnies and other people voted as to which one the person should finish.
Should we start a new thread? This one is getting kind of narrow. If you like, I can do that with my next response.
Sure, starting a new thread would be cool! They do get a little narrow as they go on. :D
Yeah, I have no idea how diverse the song nominations were for Jukebox, but I guess at least a song is a pretty easy thing to research? So much is on Youtube now.
So on another note, here is a thing that I do:
I have my original characters who I love, and a lot of (mostly TV show) fandoms. And my brain is a champion cross-pollinator. So I tend to keep dumping my original characters into whatever fandom I'm playing with at the moment. I've been doing it a lot with Joel and Danny, the MCs from my novel, and now I'm starting to do it with Ash and Kieran, the new characters that I came up with a couple of weeks ago.
I recently got into Sleepy Hollow, and I was dumping Danny and Joel into Sleepy Hollow fandom. The dude who's been dead for 230-odd years (and recently reawakened) turned out to be very confused by two guys kissing in public...
