One of my favourite prompts for the snowflake_challenge is always setting fandom (and fandom-adjacent) goals for the year ahead: it feels like a really nice way to set out what I'd like my year to consist of. Since fandom has positive connotations for me, it's essentially a list of "some cool things I want to do in 202X!"

(They're also the only new year's resolutions I bother to set, these days xD)

Since last year I've also taken to reviewing my goals for the previous year before I set new ones, just to see how I did. It doesn't matter if I missed any (I never make all of them) - often thinking about how my year was different to what I anticipated is just as interesting.

In 2024 I was really ambitious and set eight(!) goals, so I'm going to split this into two parts, otherwise it would be like... 3,000 words long xD You can check out my goals for 2024 here if you're curious.

Last year when I did the Snowflake Challenge I had the most fun setting fannish goals for the coming year, because I feel like it's a nice spin on New Year's Resolutions. Not an "I must do this every day" type thing, but more like "Here's some things I'd like to tick off/add more of into my (fandom) life", and that feels like a more positive framing.

I've been thinking about my 2023 goals a lot over the past year, and I know I definitely ticked off a few. But looking back at the list now, there are definitely some I just forgot about 😆 I could have been more systematic about completing them, but I had some other new things I focused on last year instead, so some of those took precedence.

Anyway, Day 2 of the 2024 Snowflake Challenge is setting goals for 2024 - they don't have to be fannish, and this year I think I'll set some non-fannish goals too, but they'll all be creative in some way. First, though, I want to look back at my goals from last year and how I did:
