Signup Post: Fannish 50 in 2025
This is the signup post for the Fannish 50 blogging challenge in 2025.
Fannish 50 began in 2023 with a challenge bycolls in swannee. Since then, it has spread to other blogs and communities.
The parameters are simple: Make fifty posts about topics related to fandom. You may set any theme(s) you wish, or pick random topics for each post. "Questions and Questionnaires for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth" includes a list of questionnaires on fannish topics if you want to use one of those as a framework. Post something like "I signed up for the Fannish 50 challenge atgoals_on_dw " in your blog, then put a "Fannish 50" tag in your blog to make it easier for other people to find your entries. Adding "Fannish 50" to your Interests will also help identify you as a participant or reader. (It is best to use exactly the phrase "Fannish 50" because DW search tools don't recognize variations as the same topic, and to attach the tag to a post so it sticks.) Another good idea is setting up a masterlist where you can link your posts as you make them, which may or may not be part of your announcement post. Then make a comment below this post with details about your goal. You don't have to sign up to participate, it just helps spread the word and attract more readers.
Primary posting will run January 1 -- December 31, 2025. With 50 posts, it fits neatly into a year with 2 weeks to spare. However, you don't have to do it that way if you don't want to, and there's no hard limit on posting timeframe. You could make them daily posts, or monthly posts, or sporadic posts, whatever works for you and eventually adds up to 50.
What are you fannish about? There are many types of canons that people like to squee over. You can blog about any one or more of these, among others.

My Fannish 50 entries will be posted at: https://javert.dreamwidth.org/tag/fannish+50
My theme: Mixed; probably some rambling/thoughts on fandoms I got/I'm into, definitely some fanworks (art, fic, maybe even some meta?), very possibly stuff regarding me building a personal fansite, maybe some recs...
My journal status: Open! I don't really post anything super personal, so I very rarely make locked posts.
Other details: My main fandom is Pokémon (specifically X&Y) and I have a list of other fandoms I'm into in my sticky post. I just got into Arcane so that's probably going to feature as well. I make fanfic and fanart (used to be mostly fanart but now it's more balanced.) I'm a fairly kinky person, although I don't usually get into it that much in my journal, but I'd likely warn and cut for any subject I think might upset people. If you'd like to talk, feel free to hit me up!
Anything else you want to share: I'm French, so if you're a French speaker, I'd extra love to hear from you! :D
Welcome!
Yay! You might also like the Recurring Posts entry.

That sounds like a good list.
>> I'm a fairly kinky person, although I don't usually get into it that much in my journal, but I'd likely warn and cut for any subject I think might upset people.<<
Kink is pretty popular on DW. We've had some kinky communities and events all along, then a few months ago an influx of Cohost refugees brought more.
>> I'm French, so if you're a French speaker, I'd extra love to hear from you! :D
I am not a French speaker, but I am a hobby-linguist and language activist, so I heartily encourage people to use diverse languages. About the most I do with it myself is include fragments in my writing. The Rutledge thread of Polychrome Heroics is set in Vermont, which has a significant number of French speakers. "Watching The Water Department" is one example. Plus I have several other dialects scattered around including Quebec, Louisiana, think I may have done Missouri, etc.
Sadly there's not a lot of support for language diversity on DW. People use other languages here -- if you go to Latest Things, you'll see posts in Russian, Arabic, etc. -- but I haven't found an easy way to filter by languages or even a community for people who want to read diverse languages. I have seen people posting in French occasionally.
Quick and easy things you can do:
* Add "France," "French," "francophone," etc. to your Interests. This makes it easier for people to find you.
* Make tags identifying your content written in French and/or talking about France. This helps readers find those posts within your blog.
* Whenever you fill out an introduction questionnaire like this, continue to mention your French background and reach out to other speakers.
* You could also make posts (in either language) about French things such as books, movies, games, etc. and tag them accordingly.
More involved:
* Host an event for French speakers on DW where people would post in French and/or talk about French culture. Actually, you could piggyback this on Three Weeks for Dreamwidth! That's April 25-May 15. For that matter, Fannish 50 has no language requirements, so if you want to throw in French posts here too, that's fine.
* Launch a community for French speakers or for diverse languages in general.
These latter two would probably work better after you've built up some momentum and a group of French speakers that you know here, but are worth mentioning now.

For sure! I was glad to be able to do
I never thought about including French-stuff in my interests; that's not a bad idea! I've participated in French events on dreamwidth before (most notably
