malenkayacherepakha Challenge #15 - Create your own challenge.
My challenge - which is mostly for myself but if other people wanted to do the same that would be amazing - is to reach out more.
I think a lot of people in fandom (myself included) want to feel like a part of the community and make friends, and sometimes it can feel a bit like shouting into the void - everyone is so busy (with fandom things like writing and reading and commenting, as well as real life) and lots of sites move so quickly that it can be hard to build that connection with people.
So I want to start making an effort to build those relationships. I want to comment more, rec more, chat more. I want to reach out to people whose writing I love or who I've always wanted to chat to, as well as people who are newer to fandom (I've not been here long, I remember vividly what it was like to be new - and still feel like it sometimes too!).
I'm terrible at opening up to people but I want to try. I want to keep building the friendships I've already made since joining fandom, and I want to support people with their writing and more. I want people to feel like they can talk to me and rely on me, for beta help or just a general chat.
Being more active on Dreamwidth has been a great start to this - I've loved all the interaction on here, and I want to carry that forward both here and in other fandom spaces ❤
