Wasting Potential

The discord has opened for this year's main voiceteam round. I’m on team Wild Things!

I’ve previously made lists of personal goals for the event, and for battleship too, and I really like having something to work towards alongside the usual challenges, so I’m doing it again ^^ Some of the goals I previously didn’t manage have returned.

ONE: Record as many podfics about robots/androids/AIs/cyborgs as possible
Originally, I thought to aim for 100% of my pods to be robot related, but I don’t know how possible that is, so it will still be fun to aim for as high a percentage as possible. I’ll work it out at the end and see how high I got :P

TWO: Record more femslash
I’d love to increase my F/F output by any amount. Getting it to half the amount of my Gen works would be amazing, but incredibly ambitious—64 new femslash works? Definitely possible, but probably not before the end of May 😆 So to go with something more doable, I’ll aim for having 69 femslash pods by the end of Voiceteam. Hey, it’s a nice number!

THREE: Write something
I don’t write much these days, and many Voiceteam challenges lend themselves to writing something new, so this is just a little extra push to myself to give it a go.

Hi everyone,

There’s a wonderfully educational new Pokémon Botany video out from Matthew Gaston!

Other Stuff
I'm hoping to put together a March and April event roundup soon, but I’ve hardly worked on anything recently. That will change once Voiceteam starts, but it’s interesting how my fannish energy seems to go up and down so much these days and is and usually wholly based on what events I’m participating in at the time.

Tomorrow I'm being interviewed as part of a research study on ASMR. I did an online survey a while ago and was invited to be interviewed based on my answers, so that's exciting. The study is looking at whether a Highly Sensitive Person (something I hadn't heard of before the survey, but is apparently a Thing and a thing that I might also be) is more likely to consume ASMR content and why, which is awesome. I can already foresee me talking their ear off now I get the chance to share my ASMR thoughts with someonne, especially with how it's changed since developing tinnitus, and I can't wait to read their findings once they're available!

I hope everyone is doing well 🧡🧡🧡
