Note from the Addict: my very modest not ridiculously ambitious at all 2016 VC Goals

It’s the end of Jan. already! and I felt like I should share a little glimpse of what’s rolling around in my mind at the start of this new year, in terms of this blog. A “State of the I-Want-My-IWTV” address, if you will.

I don’t do Follow Forevers because I wouldn’t want anyone to feel left out. This thing is mine but I appreciate you all and love that you love this crazy stuff that I love, too! It’s a daily gift to me to get messages from you, scroll through the activity feed and see how you’ve tagged the stuff you’ve reblogged, but even if all you do is Like stuff, just seeing your urls brightens my day. I can’t thank you enough for sticking with me.

This was never about the number of followers for me, and it never will be. I’d still do this without any followers, but you all make it SO MUCH BETTER. You guys would easily fill an auditorium at this point. We could watch the next VC movie together! I fantasize about that but let’s stop this emotional outpouring for now…

On a personal note…I just bit the bullet and hired a personal trainer! I’m meeting with him 2x/week until May and gonna get into better shape, I have the money and I’ve run out of excuses not to do it. I’d like to do videos to answer asks sometimes and currently I’m just a little camera shy, y’know? Would you want short video answers? Or do you prefer it written?

All this means is I’ll be around here less until May. Then the weather will be nicer and I’ll be trying to keep up the momentum being outside. Possibly playing sports with other humans ewwwww… 

ANYWAY I have all these dreams for this blog and it’s purpose… for 2016:

1. Layout makeover – in progress, still in design phase (Yes I know the top right buttons are missing, they’re actually hiding under the top bar, gonna fix this wknd, hopefully)
2. Asks – I want to CLEAR my inbox of all the 2015 messages (I have asks from Halloween *blushes furiously*). I have never deleted a message without responding publicly or privately. Sometimes I save an ask bc it’s a difficult one and requires research, or needs a gif/pic assemblage made, etc. Sometimes I save it bc it’s so sweet and it hits me Right in the Feels and I can’t even respond immediately, and then it gets buried before I can reply. That’s a good thing for me though, bc then I find it again, inevitably, on a day when I really need it, so it has double the impact ❤
3. Self makeover – as mentioned already, so I can be in videos and also maybe someday really be an advocate for our fandom. Not that I think this would really happen, but I would love to somehow get in touch with the people working on the new VC adaptations tell them how to do their fucking jobs *ahem* and get a little communication going w/ them, bc if they’re going to sell it to us, they could benefit from the advice of people who care deeply about this canon, and have useful headcanons to share that would only enrich them *u*
4. Fanart commissions – I want to promote more of this! It’s partly selfish, because I want to see more of it on my dash; we all benefit when people get commissions and then share them publicly ;D
5. Fanfic/fanworks and Intellectual Property Law – Continuing to learn more about this so I can keep you informed about what’s fair use and what’s not, since our fandom had to deal with bloody fanfic wars in the 90’s and we don’t need a repeat of that. EVER.

So yeah that’s not overly ambitious at all, is it? IT IS. I’ll just repost this in 2017, har har.
