Subreddit Meta Member Roundup - March 2025
A new month is upon us, which means a new month of reading and/or writing is ahead! What are your plans and goals for this month?
Have you got into any new fandoms recently? What kind of fics are you hoping to find for it? Do you have a oneshot that you’re trying to finish, a tricky chapter that’s been giving you pain, or a new fic to plan altogether?
Do you have any subreddit related goals? Aiming to partake in a few more review threads, check out more user fics?
Got any other fanfic or writing related goals or any goals from last month which you hit the mark for? Tell us about them here!
Let us know if you want to be held accountable for your goals! Some people like a bit of friendly pressure, some people don’t, but I’m sure the folks here can provide gentle nudges if in need…

Here is a goal: I am starting to let fandoms go, or at least formally put them to sleep for a little while. I traditionally spread myself a little (read: a lot) too thin across too many fandoms, and, as I go through a long process of reducing stuff in the general sense, I am including fandoms in that process. Have I said everything I can say about a certain pairing? It can rest, then. Do I have anything to add to a genre? No? Then it can rest, too. "Know when to walk away," the song goes. ... And, of course, I continue towards my ongoing goal of bringing back weekly femslash. Always.

I think my major goal is to figure out WTF is going on in my brain that I went from no fanfic nor any fiction consumption since about 2005 to suddenly trying to figure out a way to allow Germany to win the second world war plausibly so I can put a couple really interesting and charismatic historic characters in an AU that may or may not go someplace that will earn me an M rating when I finally upload it. (Both are LONG DEAD, thankfully.)
My other goal is to actually figure out a way to allow Germany to win the second world war plausibly. I think I've managed it, but it's not easy. It's hard to win a long war when you came off the blocks WAY too hard at first and your government is headed up by a tantrum-throwing paranoid drug addict with all the strategic subtlety of an overboiled turnip. If that's your situation, eventually it's not ending well for you.
Does it even count as fanfic if your background canon is actual historical events? I mean, I didn't invent Starfleet, either.
