In your own space, update your fandom information. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I've been inactive here for a while, despite my determination to use this new-ish journal. Lucky for me, I knew the snowflake challenge was right around the corner, and I thought I'd take advantage of that!

Not much has changed since I made this journal. I'm still enraptured by detective comics comics –sometimes to my delight, sometimes to my frustration. My most darling character remains Jason Todd, who lives rent free in my mind when it comes to fandom, and who keeps inspiring new fic ideas I can barely keep up with (my goal this year is to finally do something with them!!). The Bat Clan in general has my attention, as do some 'verses outside the comics (Young Justice, Gotham, or Batwoman gave me some inspiration too... although yeah, often involving Jason xD).

Some other favourites you might see around here:

Authors & Books: Ana María Matute, Angela Carter, Camilla Andrew ("When the Stars Alight", "The Sanguine Sorceress"), "Carmilla", Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "Dangerous Liaisons", Daphne du Maurier, "El cordero carnívoro", "Hymn to Demeter", Mary Wollstoncraft Shelley, "Medea", Miguel Hernández, Philip Pullman, "Pygmalion", Shirley Jackson, Terry Pratchett.
Comics: outside of DC, I tend to go for IDW (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees), Image (Monstress, Paper Girls, Saga), and Iron Man (volumes 1 & 3, Doomquest/Legacy of Doom, Fatal Frontier, the current run).
Films: the Alien franchise, Black Swan, Blancanieves (2012), Colombiana, El verdugo, Jupiter Ascending, Lust Caution, Pan's Labyrinth, Practical Magic, The Handmaiden, The Lion in Winter, The Mask of Zorro, The Terminator.
Shows: the Buffyverse, the Plecverse, Black Sails, Desperate Housewives, Dollhouse, Killjoys, Nikita, Person of Interest, Reign, Severance, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Sopranos, Veronica Mars.

But really, my primary focus is on my own original writing (I am my main fandom, in a way). I've mentioned my stories here and there on this journal, but going forward I'll discuss them & share my writing primarily on my brand new author's newsletter!

Over a black background with some golden dots simulating stars in the distance, there's a drawn silhouette of a golden bee, inside a six-points stars, within a circle.

In it I intend to post monthly updates (with excerpts, recommendations, etc.), as well as an extra publication with more in-depth narrative analysis over various topics and original short stories every month. You can take a look at that first entry, and see if it's something you'll be interested in!

ETA: I intend for this journal to be public.
