Challenge 8: Talk about a current fannish project

I don't have that much in the way of fannish products. I'm not typically producing anything. I guess the most relevant thing I'm doing is reviewing Visual Novels over on

playingstory . I'm almost completely through all the VNs from the BLM bundle. I have a possible six games to go, assuming that all of them are actually Visual Novels and not something else, actually, which many under the VN tag are. I was hoping to have that finished up by the end of last year, but juusst missed and am now distracted by Balders Gate 3, haha.

Once I have played all the VNs in the bundle, I have a master post already mostly written out in which I give out "awards" to the games I enjoyed the most for one thing or another, and will be offering to give away some of the games via a steam code or similar to give back to the indies who made those games and donated to the cause. I'm hoping this will happen by the end of winter, but I think it depends somewhat on how soon I extricate myself from Baldur's Gate.

The other project that I actually work on with some mild consistency is my worldbuilding, but I don't consider that fannish activity. It's just sort of creative work. I've been lazy about organizing everything into something legible so maybe I'll work on that today a little.

And even further from fandom but also on a more fannish vein(?) I'm practicing Hakobi Usucha Ro, which is sort of an early fundamental form for tea practice. It looks like this:
