One of my favourite prompts for the [community profile] 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.

1) Make a fanvid (not for a challenge/event)

Challenge #2 for the Snowflake Challenge is:

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I had a lot of fun setting some fannish goals for 2023, so I'm excited to think up my goals for 2024. This post has a Part 1 where I looked back on how I did against my goals for 2023, which isn't a "do or die" thing, but it's nice to see which ones I hit! This year, I wanted to include a couple of not specifically fannish goals, but the focus is still mostly on fandom and creativity. So without further ado...

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:

I was really pleased to see this come up again in this year's Snowflake Challenge, because I meant to do this challenge when it came up last year (I think it was Challenge #2?) and never got around to it; when I didn't see it in the beginning of this year's challenge, I assumed it wasn't in the rotation. But here it is! \o/ So, I wasn't going to let my second chance pass me by (even after DW ate my first partial draft of this post 😢).

I've also done a few other days of the Snowflake Challenge so far, not all of which are on DW, so here are some links:

#1: Update your fandom information
#6: Post the results of your fandom scavenger hunt
#10: Create a fanwork (MastoDrabbleeeeeeee)

The challenge is: "In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private." I definitely wanted these to be fannish goals, which for me is what makes it fun, so here are my fannish goals for 2023:
