Snowflake Challenge, Day 13

Day 13

In your own space, talk about setting yourself a fannish goal. Big or small, it doesn't matter. Some great examples include: complete a bingo, sign-up for a Big Bang, write that fic you've been thinking about for years, podfic that story that you love, make a fanmix for your fandom, post that bit of meta or reclist you keep postponing. Maybe resolve to be better at leaving feedback, or answering comments. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I want to complete the fanfic100 challenge. One hundred stories featuring Lance Bass. I am so close… I only have five prompts to go: Colourless, Death, Sunrise, Sixth Sense and Thunder, and I think one of the stories I'm working on at the moment will fill Sixth Sense, and of course there's the Wallow for the Death prompt. There need to be two more Chronicles stories as well, and I'm pretty sure I can work those in to do double duty—appropriate, since I wrote so many of the Chronicles as a direct response to this challenge.

Five prompts. Totally doable, right?

I have been harbouring the ambition to knit a peacock shawl (more truthfully, to have knitted a peacock shawl) for some time, and this year actually began to knit. It's the Renaissance Shawl by Anne-Lisa Maigaard, and although it is not actually labelled as a peacock, it definitely features peacock feathers. I've got as far as Chart D at the moment. Rows go reasonably quickly as there are only (!) 250 or so stitches per row at the moment. Lots and lots of safety lines, but I am finding that it adds up well—there is a feeling of suspense as I approach the end of the row, which resolves very happily into the right number of stitches, yay!

It's a big pattern. I wonder if I'll finish it this year?

Do Americans play Jackstraws? If not, what do you play instead? Is it called 'pick-up sticks' or something?
