The first newsletter I recieve from the Danish Film Institute is about Olaf Fønss and about how self-absorbed he was. Great.

Except it's more than that. It's about fan culture.

Here's the article if you want to take a look-see.

( Some observations )

EDIT: Silent Film festival in Copenhagen! Lots of good stuff!

Managed to track down another book from the Veidt shelves (speaking of that nice pic of him posing by his bookshelf as if he's deciding on what he should read).

It's Gábor Vaszary's Monpti. Which is the age-old tale of boy meets girl, girl says she's rich while she's actually poor, boy dumps girl, girl gets hit by a car and dies, boy is sad.

This man has this and Silone's Bread and Wine on his shelves. The duality.

And speaking of Connie, you can now watch Die Große Sehnsucht (1930) on the Digitaler Lesesaal. Thank you, Bundesarchiv! Since Herr Veidt plays himself in this, it's a great showing of his persona at the time (read that I wrote persona and not person).

The ever-elusive Uncle Walt short by Robert Swarthe has been found. It's not good, as many elusive and mystical pieces of ~ lost media ~ are.

Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.

It's never a comfortable task, but I've gotten better at it with practice.

1. If you do any remote energy work, Reiki, etc., I could use some sent my way. I hurt my ribs on Sunday (left side), and it's actually hurting worse now than it was. Might have been the fact that I did quite a bit of walking yesterday. I didn’t think walking would make it worse, but I might have been wrong.

2. Yeah, I don’t have any expectations for this one, but if anyone has ever thought about writing a Miami Vice fic… (preferably Sonny/Rico). Or art, or songvid. It’s hard being in such a tiny fandom with so little content.

3. How about a bit of self-promotion? Check out my community,

vocab_drabbles It's a weekly prompt comm using mostly college-level and rarer words as inspiration. It's not just for drabbles anymore, as it grew beyond that quickly, but I haven't changed the name because I didn't want to confuse people (although it's a decision I've been contemplating) -- and Vocab Drabbles does have a ring to it. There are no deadlines, and we currently have fics in 115 different fandoms.

Challenge #8

Talk about your creative process.

I could've answered with a few different creative processes (art, editing, coding, essay writing, etc), but ended up going with fanfic writing, because it's definitely the most uniform!

1) Inspiration
Sometimes, the ideas that pop into my head get added to my big document of fic ideas to write at a later date! Other times, it takes over my soul and torments me until I exorcise it via writing.

~~1.5) Make sure that you take your attention medication on the day(s) that you're planning to work~~

2) Outline
Basically every writing community I've joined seems to expect outlines to come in paragraphs. My outlines, however, have always come in bullet point lists. This stage is extremely informal, to the point that I will often slip in little jokes for myself. (Probably my favorite example: a bullet point dedicated to the statement, "KEEP IT LIGHTHEARTED, YOU ANGST-LOVING FUCK!!")

Sometimes, I'll have multiple bullet point lists. The one that I always have is the plot outline. Other, optional lists include inspiration for the intended tone (lines from movies, poetry, etc), ideas I'd like to touch on at some point without knowing where they would fit (for example: "I'd like to imply that this character has (XYZ disorder)," when that's not the focus of the fic), and/or notes on the research I've done for the fic. (Research is a part of the outlining phase, as well, when applicable!)

Truth be told I’m not a wishlist person! Anything I want I usually try to get it myself (that and I don’t wanna seem like a burden or like I’m asking too much xD).

However, if I might ask for ONE thing, it’s for all of us to have the strength to survive out of spite and love yourself despite the horrors!

2025 was fucking ROUGH, and I can only imagine it’s gonna get worse before it gets better. In that same vein, a stupid part of me is still holding out hope that maybe this “life” shit is worth trudging through, so the above is all I’ll ask. xD

Take care of yourselves out there. ❤️
