Join Fandom 50 for 2024

[alexcat]

What are you fannish about?
♥ Movies?
♥ Hedgehogs?
♥ Baking?
♥ Fictional characters?

Why not post about all of them this year? This is a challenge to make fifty posts about fandom things. They can be whatever kind of posts you’d like - movie reviews, recs, a story about meeting a fellow fan, cosplaying … anything!
The challenge runs for a year (well, 11 months), so a pace of one post per week plus a couple would do it. .

If you’d like to do a theme, feel free. Some ideas:
♦ 50 fictional characters that I want to meet in real life
♦ 50 fanvid recs
♦ 50 television episodes that were lifechanging
♦ 50 fanfic plots I’ll never write

You don’t need to do a theme if you don’t want to. You can make fifty random fan-adjacent posts.

If you’d like even more structure or if you’d like to share your Fandom 50 with others, you can commit to the challenge by signing up.

My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: It'll probably be "Fandom Fifty" along with "fandom stuff", as that's my general fandom-related tag.
My theme: Whatever strikes my fancy.
My journal status: I believe it's all open, as, tbh, I don't know *how* to lock posts.
Anything else people should know? Most of my actual fandom-fandom stuff will probably be Batman/DC Comics related, as that's my big brainworms right now, though there'll probably be a smattering of other things, too, as the year goes on. There will probably be smut. There will definitely be swears.

[alexcat]

Welcome and I'm glad you're taking part! Good luck!

My theme (optional): Will try to focus on meta, but it's whatever.

[alexcat]

Thanks for joining in! I failed last year (only 2 posts) and decided that maybe if I hosted it on my blog, I'd do it! Good luck!

[prisca]

This sounds like a great chance to keep my journal a bit more active in the future. So I will give it a try.

Name: Prisca
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: My DW Home - tag: fandom50 https://prisca.dreamwidth.org/tag/fandom50
My theme: various fandom stuff = small ficlets, icons, communities/challenges I participate or just some random fandom babbling
My journal status: unlocked
Anything else people should know? I am from Germany, so English is not my native language; please don't be too hard if you find a mistake.

[alexcat]

Welcome! My BFF is German. She lives in Essen, though she's living in Spain for her work right now. I'm sure your English will be fine. I hope you enjoy the challenge.

[pebbleinalake]

Name: pebble_in_a_lake
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: It'll be under the tag challenge: fandom 50 on my journal, and the tag "fandom 50" on tumblr.
My theme (optional): No theme; it'll be a random mix of meta, fics, graphics, reviews, and whatever fannish things pop into my head
My journal status: Unlocked and always open to visitors
Anything else people should know? There's a full list of my fandoms linked in the sticky post, but I imagine some of the fandoms I'll be covering during this challenge are DC Comics, other superheroes, Psych, The Librarians, and discussing general topics related to the indie web and fandom spaces.

[yudil]

Name: Frankie | yudil

My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: (challenge: fandom 50) on my journal. Hopefully the first post will be tomorrow!

My theme: No specific theme as I tend to ramble about whatever interests me at the moment, but I hope to dive into game lore for Lies of P and Bloodborne, at a minimum.

My journal status: Personal posts are locked but I’m trying to post more fannish stuff publicly, including everything for this challenge. I’m willing to add to my circle after we’ve got to know each other a bit more, but you’re not missing much, regardless! A lot of the books/games/other fiction I discuss delves into darker topics, such as incest, noncon, death, body horror, and such, but I try to have content notices at the top of applicable posts.

Anything else people should know? I try to post in my journal daily but I am very bad about that. But sometimes there will be daily posts!

Name: luthien
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: https://luthien.dreamwidth.org/tag/challenges:+fandom+50 at my journal

[muscle_wizard]

Name: Toki
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: https://muscle-wizard.dreamwidth.org/tag/fannish+fifty+2024
My theme: Will probably be about video games I'm playing, making recipes from fanbooks (and official ones), manga/novels I read, maybe the occasional show? And every side of fic writing, lol.
My journal status: Fannish content will be unlocked! I recently started access locking personal posts but am willing to add ppl to my circle.
Anything else people should know? I have old fics that aren't thoroughly CW'd beyond SFW/NSFW but going forward all my posts in general will have specific CWs if they apply. I like both lighter and darker themes in fiction, and definitely adult content.

I recently gutted my other social media and really plan to focus on enjoying my free time on dw, so I am excited to meet other people who are active here.

My theme (optional): Rarer fandoms/ships/characters
My journal status: Predominantly public. I mostly post about fandom or fandom-adjacent things (my own fanworks, recs for other people's fanworks, what I'm reading or watching or listening to), with the occasional locked personal post.
Anything else people should know? I'll probably be posting about rarer ships and characters from larger fandoms like Our Flag Means Death, Star Trek, and Harry Potter, as well as variety of smaller fandoms that are most likely to come from comic books, games, TV, and books in the SFF, horror, and crime genres. This will include recs, potentially some new fanworks of my own, and stray thoughts. My space runs queer, adult, and kink-friendly.

[lumiosecity]

Name: Calico (lumiosecity)
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: my brand new shiny Event: Fandom Fifty tag!
My theme (optional): No theme, my tastes ebb and flow over the course of the year and I don't want to have to treat this as a chore.
My journal status: Unlocked, and marked to be viewed with discretion because I write with an adult audience in mind. No general content warnings, but there may be post-specific ones. I'm cool with subscriptions but incredibly hesitant about allowing access, just in case.
Anything else people should know? I'm really excited about this!

[lumiosecity]

As of 12/12, I've completed the challenge! You can see my entries here.

[dandelionblizzard]

My theme (optional): I couldn't stick to one if I tried.
My journal status: Unlocked. I will warn for all the typical things if need be.
Anything else people should know? If I'm not talking about meta there will probably be a lot of M/M slash fic recs (G-rated or otherwise).

[verushka70]

Name: verushka70
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: my DW verushka70 with tag "fannish fifty"
My theme (optional): no theme - just anything fandom-related (recs, my own fic, signal boosts, etc)
My journal status: unlocked, warnings for mature content
Anything else people should know? myself and ride_forever actually already started our own unofficial Fannish Fifty this month, based on whoever ride_forever got it from in 2023 (possibly the same person you mention? IDK - I didn't do it last year, but I want to this year!), so I'm so glad there's an official Fannish Fifty comm to join!

[ride_4ever]

Brain-twin! I was gonna rec this and also rec comment bingo to you, but before I got to it you had already emailed me about both of them!

[linky]

Name: Linky
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: The Fandom Fifty tag on my journal. Want to get the first post up tomorrow.
My theme (optional): Whatever I feel like, could be about my Gotcha! Icons project, meta, stories, gushing, art, headcanons, just whatever comes to mind. (There also might be a lot of tokusatsu since thats the main fandom I'm active in right now.)
My journal status: I barely make any private/access posts.
Anything else people should know? Though not all of my posts are NSFW, my journal is 18+/NSFW. Anything that does contain NSFW contents is under a cut and given any tags/warnings if needed. Some of my posts for this challenge might contain NSFW contents but will be under a cut. Again it all depends on what strikes me for a post idea.

Completed!

[linky]

As of 7/6 I just finished the challenge and did my 50th post! :D

[glitteryv]

Name: glittery

My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: Over at my DW under the Fannish 50 tag.

My theme: Last year, I posted 50 entries abt K-Pop (including BTS, dance practices, girl groups worth checking out, and some variety shows). This year...it'll probably be more of the same. 😅 Maybe (mayyyyybe) I'll be able to wiggle a couple of posts abt movies for Noirvember. Also a few posts from some of my fave (non-K-Pop) YouTube channels for funsies.)🤞🏽

My journal status: It's unlocked at time of this reply. FWIW, I don't expect to lock it up any time soon.

Anything else people should know? The timing of this was excellent as I was thinking of all the things I wanted to rec, but lacked the structure to work on that. :D

[miss_grimwood]

Name: chels / miss_grimwood
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: https://miss-grimwood.dreamwidth.org/tag/fandom+50
My theme (optional): 10 posts for each of my 5 current AO3 fandoms (HP, Sweeney Todd, Dark Shadows, Ocean’s 8, A Room With a View)
My journal status: Open! but any posts with links to nsfw fics/art are marked 18+
Anything else people should know? i just finished the snowflake challenge, so i’m super happy to find another challenge to keep me engaging with DW

[kelly_chambliss]

Name: kellychambliss
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: DW (kelly_chambliss and probably LJ (kellychambliss under the "Fannish 50" tag
My theme (optional): I'm not sure, but I like to make recs and talk about rare pairs and older characters. My main fandoms are Harry Potter and Star Trek and whatever TV series or books or films happen to hook me at the moment.
My journal status: Fannish content is always unlocked. I'm happy to add new people to my circle.
Anything else people should know? I need this! Without outside incentive (like a challenge) to provide me with structure, I'm just a puddle of ooze that gets nothing done.

[ride_4ever]

Name: ride_4ever
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: My Fandom 50 entries will be posted on my Dreamwidth blog and since -- as verushka70 said -- she and I already "unofficially" started a 2024 Fannish Fifty challenge at the beginning of this year based on the official 2023 Fannish Fifty and we accordingly tagged the January entries as fannish_fifty so I'll be continuing to use that tag.
My theme: Fandom is a vast thing -- I won't have just one theme.
My journal status: Unlocked and with warnings for mature content. You don't need to be in my Circle to read my content, but anyways willing to add to my Circle for the sake of additional fannish friendships.
Anything else people should know? I loved having the structure of Fannish Fifty last year which kept me focused on posting and led me to do over 50 posts. I'm committing to the full 50 again this year and happy about alexcat taking the inspiration fromswannee's Fannish 50 last year to lead Fandom 50 this year.

[wearing_tearing]

Name: wearing_tearing
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: challenge: fandom 50
My theme (optional): no theme! Will probably post recs, chat about what I'm reading/watching, promo comms and other fandom challenges, discuss writing. I'm not sure.
My journal status: all fandom posts are public and most personal posts are locked. Willing to add to my circle and add back.
Anything else people should know? I do link to NSFW content on my journal, but everything will always be properly tagged/warned for, usually under a cut. And one of my goals this year is to comment more everywhere + be more active on DW, so expect me to link to a lot of comms and other stuff happening around fandom :D

[nanslice]

Name: Nan
My Fandom 50 entries will be posted here: https://nanslice.dreamwidth.org/tag/fandom50+2024
My theme (optional): Probably Warhammer, full stop.

Anything else people should know? What a good idea! I love this. :)
