I'm looking through the #/FandomEvents tag on Tumblr (it seems more populated than #FandomChallenges is there) to see what other events I want to mention that aren't on DW's Fandom Calendar and it's a bit messy - fills and announcements both in the tag.

I do wish event runners or participants would drop announcements in the FanCal, feels a bit awkward for me as an outsider to do so and there's so very, very many of them.

That said, a few links caught my eye. (1/?)

Another batch of dates for upcoming #FandomChallenges, all multi-fandom and accepting fic & art unless otherwise noted, along with any other restrictions. #fanfic #fanfiction #fanArt @fandom

All dates and events in individual replies to this top post. (Still trying to figure out the most efficient way to do this, thoughts on how to do this welcome). (1/?)

The signup deadline approaches! (As in, less than 24 hours!) If you're into tentacles :tentacles: you might want to sign up for the Cephaloparty Exchange, overview here: https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/926559.html

Check out the fandom tagsets to see what you could request and offer to write for! I found out about it after nominations were done, it's all ships and IPs I'm too unfamiliar to write, including The Untamed. Shame because the freeform tags look like fun!

Are you into yuri, F/F, femslash? Do you also like more taboo themes? You might be interested in #FemSlashFuckery, a month-long prompt fest for February. https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/926901.html

I want to write a few blog posts with tips & advice about using Mastodon to do #FannishThings. Some ideas:

- writing #threadfics
- posting #fanart, edits, gifs (sfw & nsfw)
- finding #fandom friends
- running #FandomChallenges & events
- promoting your own fics, vids & fanworks
- sharing fanwork recs
- running hourly/daily/whatever accounts

What else would you like to do on a fandom-focused mastodon instance, or on blorbo.social specifically?
