in 2026, i want to do more. i find i'm always feeling better when i have something to work on, and while i'm always working on something when it comes to fanfiction, i like having things other than just writing to tackle. i'm very interested in the community aspect of fandom and what comes from that, and how we can all encourage each other to create. 

before interacting with the star trek fandom, i'd never really seen what a kinkmeme entailed. i'm running an exchange for the IWTV server right now with my mods, and it's going great! but the idea of a kinkmeme sounds so much less stressful. i will definitely keep doing exchanges (i'm very interested in this one for the server being a yearly one!) but a kinkmeme wouldn't be a bad idea in the future either.

at some point, i would love to mod a bang of some sort, but i think i will have to wait until i'm not as busy and have a lot more mental bandwidth to do things like that. a big bang (or reverse bang) sounds so interesting to mod and i've participated in a few, but i know it takes a lot to do so.

as of right now, what i REALLY want to do in 2026 is:

• finish return to me (IWTV longfic)—to do this, i WILL need to edit the outline to a state i'm happy with.
• finish and post star trek time loop fic—i will definitely need a beta whenever i get to it.
• participate in the k/s spring fever event—i already have so many prompts set to the side so i don't go to put them in and immediately forget every prompt i've ever thought of.
• actually keep my writing everyday streak up—i don't think i will 100% write 365 days out of the year, but i'd like it to be close.
• set up a kinkmeme for the IWTV server. perhaps a late summer thing? though the new season is coming out around then... hm. maybe one in the autumn.
• AND i want to start doing art again. it's been so long since i've drawn regularly, and i have so much in my head that needs to get out in a way that i think can only be done with visual arts.

as for the art goal: i have a lot i will need to do before i can get into a mood to appreciate doing art again, i think. i need a mindset change. i'm always so focused on the end product, am always worried about what my more skilled peers will think, and end up not sharing the few things i do draw. 

i was planning on trying to apply for school this next year, and maybe i'll still be able to, but given the money i've had to drop as of late i don't think that is in the cards for a little while. so, a perfect time to fill my year with fannish things and working on writing and art.
