Joy

Okay, we're doing the icebreaker challenge this time?

1. I'm Joy and I’ve been doing some form of fandom for over 20 years now!

2. I'm involved in Dreamwidth Journal rp and got my start back in Livejournal. My first games were single fandom games for Gravitation back in the day. I also rped from fandoms such as Samurai Deeper Kyo, the Koei Warriors series, Makai Ouji, and currently Twisted Wonderland

3. I love games. Mainly JRPGs, though I also enjoy various simulation games, gacha games, and a lot of other ones. Games I'm currently playing right now: FFXIV, Twisted Wonderland, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Rune Factory 4 Special, Subnautica, and Kingdom Hearts (replaying through it). It's… a lot tbh.

4. I write fanfiction! I can be found at Silvermagess on Ao3! Right now I write rare pairs for Twisted Wonderland, most of them involving Deuce Spade, my current fave.

5. I also watch anime and read manga/manhwa/manhua/webtoons. Anime I'm watching this season: 7th Time Loop, Mr. Villain's Day Off, Cherry Magic, Dr. Elise, Freiren, A Sign of Affection, Solo Leveling, Dungeon Meshi and Sasaki and Peeps. I'm also following Apothecary Diaries, Idolish 7, Pluto, and High Card. Will pick up some others in my downtime.

As for comics, it's a little more mixed. I’m mainly following Netkama Punch and I Became the Lousy Side top.

6. Also if it wasn't obvious I love Twisted Wonderland and it's probably going to be my main interest for a while until I find a new canon and character to hyper-fixate on.

7. I'm kind of quiet on here due to finding Dreamwidth a little awkward to use these days. I can also be found on Twitter, tumblr, plurk, and bluesky (links are all in my profile.)

But thank you!

Some fannish goals for 2024 that I have:

1. Continue working on writing 200 words minimum a day. If I miss a day, it's easy enough to make up and more often than not I'll go a little over it. I've been using the word tracker from here

2. Actually post some fanfics again! I still love Twisted Wonderland a lot and want to keep writing even though I mostly write rare pairings. But I hope that people will still enjoy what I put out.

3. Complete my reading challenge on good reads! I fell a little short last year but I want to be consistent. I'm reading about fifteen minutes before bed, which helps a lot. I'm starting this year with The Lies of Locke Lamora, which is intimidating, but I'm almost at the 75% mark, so I feel like my consistency is rewarding me.

4. Tying in with that, I also want to read through part one of Trash of the Count's Family. Which… might take a while and I'm not including it in my bedtime reading routine because hooboy. But I'm excited.

5. I want to try to post at least once a week or more on here and Tumblr. I'm active on plurk, twitter, and bluesky, but miss regular blogging. Maybe I'll even interact with people one day!

6. Last of all, just being a bit more consistent when it comes to rp. I'm still wavering on whether or not I should app into a game, but I do like the short little threads I have right now.


On the real life end:

1. Keep up with working out! I've been doing it for about… five months straight. I'm doing lighter workouts this month since my back hates me but I've been really consistent and I love it.

2. Slow steps on healthy eating. Reasonable portion control for now and once I get that locked down, I'll decide on what to add in next.

3. Some budgeting. I've been trying out a low key version of the kakeibo method. I've realized I need to be a little more responsible. Especially when it comes to eating out/buying convenience store food. Which should help with my other goals.

4. Also I'm making a few little household/life organizing efforts like trying to be more prompt with emptying the dishwasher and folding my laundry. The latter will be hard though.

5. And maybe depending on what happens with my work situation in the next few days look for a new job (cries internally).

But that's all for now!
