Challenge # 8

In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, a gift of your time to the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I think my biggest accomplishment of 2021, fandom-wise, was writing the 24 ficlets for the Nick/Greg Advent Calendar. I had written a Good Omens Advent Calendar in 2020 (I actually came up with the prompts myself for that one), but I didn't write anything for most of 2021, so I didn't think I would be inspired enough to do the same last year, but as soon as I saw the prompt list, I just knew it would work. It was an absolute joy writing those ficlets.

Non-fandom wise, I'm quite proud of the short story I wrote for a literary contest. It didn't get shortlisted for the "final round", but it was an interesting experiment and a challenge: I wanted to prove to myself I could do it, and I did. Yes, I was very disappointed when my story wasn't shortlisted but, hey, maybe I'll try again this year.
