The topic of this blog post is: things that have been away for a while. Exhibit A: me!

I had every intention of continuing the Snowflake Challenge/Year in Review set of posts I began in January, but my work - which was already semi-upended by the time I got the first of those posts out - became even more upended after that. I wanted to at least post Part 2 of my 'Looking back at fannish goals for 2024' two-parter – it feels weird to have Part 1 hanging out there without a counterpart – but I haven't been able to make it a priority, and I didn't want to add "Dreamwidth posting" to the list of things I was stressed about.

At the same time, I felt weird moving onto another topic and shutting that door altogether. Still, since it's now June (ack), I'm officially freeing myself from the burden of picking up that dropped thread in favour of posting about other things, because I miss it! So, hi - how is everyone doing?

Since I last checked in, I've found time to keep up a few things here and there like adding to my fanworks archive (not much, but I archived a few things for March Meta Matters and a couple more in May, while also making some tweaks to my meta organisation) and writing drabbles (I took part in the Small Fandoms Drabblethon again and then the spring round of Seasons of Drabbles). I've got into some new things, too, like the animated series Hazbin Hotel – but it's an 'old' thing I intend to talk about for the second half of this post.

Exhibit B: The Strange Case of Starship Iris, one of my all-time favourite podcasts, which has showed up in a few of my posts here (such as this pimp post I cross-posted, which is a good shout if you want context for what I'm talking about).
