smallhobbitAs part of my goal for this year to expand my journal a bit, I'm taking part in The June Something as run by squidgiepdx The full list of questions are here, but don't expect me to answer them all, because that ain't the way I roll.
Day 1: What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?
Probably not a lot. I've a few new friends on DW, mostly craft related rather than specifically fandom. I'm probably writing less fanfic, but I've said elsewhere the crafting has increased. And I've joined Shedunnit, which could be called fandom for Golden Age crime novels, so there's more Miss Marple in my output.
I suppose my fandom life is more about the people I interract with rather than the specific fandoms. Those maybe have changed a bit over the year, but I like to think of us as all sticks in the river, flowing along in the same direction but sometimes one moves faster than another and then we catch up again.

The podcast is free (there's a brief advertising section halfway through) and if you wish you can join the book club for a monthly subscription. The club has advert free podcasts, additional material, and a forum discussing all manner of things, as well as a monthly book club. Last autumn I listened to most of the podcasts before deciding to join. I'd recommend checking it out.
