Celebration Post 2017

Welcome to the Celebrations post for B2MeM 2017!

A wise Hobbit once said that it is dangerous business, stepping onto a path and seeing where it takes you. This month over thirty creators stepped onto a path. In all, they created more than 280 fanworks. Some ran into the real-life equivalent of barrow-wights and sentient willow trees; some made it to their destination more or less unscathed; some are walking still. We want to offer a chance for all of this month's B2MeM quest-takers to celebrate what they accomplished and share where they are going!

Here you can talk about which path(s) you chose, maybe mention unposted works you're working on or what you'd like to do with the B2MeM prompts you didn't reach or get a chance to use, why you didn't (or did) get as far as you wished, and talk about your creative process if you'd like. You can also include a list (with or without links) to your works for this year's B2MeM.

It doesn't matter how much or how little you accomplished this month: everyone is welcome and this space is open for celebrating, sharing, and squeeing!

Like many others, I really loved the idea of the game. I loved that there were different paths to choose - I was especially pumped to hear that there would be a fanart path, but then ended up choosing a different one (green) instead. I haven't touched my watercolours in.... exactly a year, as it turns out, because my last paintings were for B2MeM '16, and it was wonderful to have a reason to prioritise that again. I initially went for the green path because the prompts immediately got my muses kicking, which turned out to be a fortuituous choice as I got a writing assignment halfway through March, and probably wouldn't have finished any longer path. As it was, I managed to complete both my B2MeM path AND the assignment.

AND I had time (more at the beginning of the month than towards the end, but I hope to catch up eventually) to read other people's contributions, which hasn't always been the case in past years. So all in all, this year's challenge has worked really well for me. Squee!

Congratulations on finishing both B2MeM and your assignment! I'm likewise glad to hear that having a path specifically for art inspired you.

Squee indeed!
