Finish my Minish Cap long fic! ― Completely done! Posted the last chapter yesterday, probably won't even mention this one in future check-ins.

Start on the TP collab! ― It only says start and we even started posting it, so I'll count it technically this time. Not sure how far we'll get before the end of the year though.

Actually work on writing my BotW long fic ― I've gotten started on this. Probably my lowest writing priority that's still a priority, but considering that all the other priorities are currently editing, it's getting a fair amount of attention when I feel like something else. Though I'm just working on fixing the issues I have with it so far and I'm not really counting the point until chapter 5 is published... but we're getting closer.

Finish the Link's Awakening Odyssey fic ― This has been completely written, but I'm only just now starting to edit it after sitting on it for a couple of months. But should start getting it out there soon!

Finish a TP stained glass art piece I'm working on ― This will probably be later in the year. Been drawing stuff for zelink week recently, but it's definitely getting on the list after that. Nothing to report yet.

Do something for Telink. I have several ideas but I'll need to see which actually goes anywhere. ― Posted a oneshot for them! I do have a couple other fics started but they're multi-chaps so can't say if anything more will happen on this front this year.

Also something for TP's 20th anniversary ― Kinda thinking the stained glass will be what I do for this, but also hoping to do at least something for Chosen TP Zelink event that week. I ought to start looking at that to see if there's anything I can do for it though, I suppose.

Probably some kind of comic in here somewhere ― No idea. Unless I choose to do some idea I've been sitting on for a while, probably not doing this for fandom this year. Though I am entertaining the notion of trying to do a webtoon again (this is probably a bad idea).

If I finish MC fic, start publishing either my EoW or TP long fic ― Between the TP collab, and trying to seriously work on TOC (the botw fic) and BoA... I kinda doubt I'm going to get to a point where I feel ready to start posting on either of these very soon. Going to remove this from the list unless inspiration strikes in a very specific way and I actually complete it.

Ideally, write an original book. ― I have a couple of ideas I like now I just uh. Haven't gotten around to starting yet. Oops.

Start writing and posting my Original Legend, Book of Ages! ― Very slowly starting to write I just keep getting distracted.

Rules: Make a list of every creative project you'd like to tackle next year! It can be anything, from updating a story to starting a new story entirely. Fanart ideas. Wrapping up old projects. Literally any creative endeavor that comes to mind! It doesn't have to be super extensive either. Just whatever you think you'd reasonably like to tackle in the coming year.

Treat it like a checklist, so it's easy to look back and see how much progress you've made. You can even update the list throughout the year if you'd like, to keep yourself accountable :)

Crochet more.

Crochet something specifically for me. (I have a bad habit of struggling with making anything if it's for myself.)

Crochet speedrun a gift for @radioactive-earthshine's birthday (as soon as the yarn arrives).

Write more.

Add at least one thing to Ao3 that I've been meaning to but haven't gotten to yet.

It's the end of the year! So it's time to think about what we want to get done in the coming year 👀 And play a fun tag game because why not ✨

Thanks @mailrebel! Here's some goals for me in 2026:

Finish the WIPs I'm bringing into the new year with me!

Participate in Zelink week 2026!!

Collab with @mailrebel like we're threatening to do

Post at least two chapters for the OMH original legend!

Finish @poposusz gift on time so I can stop being a lame friend and actually finish a project not in crunch time🤣🤣

Make fanart that is more than just stick figures and gift it to a friend

Tagging some friends if you want to participate in sharing your goals! Like Rebel said in his post, I encourage you to make a new one all your own to save me from forever rebog notifications 🤣

In Gem World, fusions are mainly with that same kind of gem and the mixing of gem types is seen as so wrong, they're sentenced to death.

In Human World, mainly couples of the opposite sex are formed, and couples of the same sex is seen as so wrong, some places sentences them to death.

Finish my Minish Cap long fic! ― Done!! Well, still in editing hell for it but all the writing is done at least.

Start on the TP collab! ― Definitely started, and honestly rather pleased with the progress we've been making on it lately!

Actually work on writing my BotW long fic ― Unfortunately nothing. I need to actually dedicate attention to this one and I want to finish up editing MC and hopefully at least writing one of the smaller things I'm working on before I can grant it that attention. But then it'll be a fairly high priority so hopefully that'll mean I make good progress on it. Fairly confident I'll get this one done this year still.

Finish the Link's Awakening Odyssey fic ― Moving along on this one! It's only hindered by the fact that it has to keep being shelved for higher priorities but still getting around to it regularly!

Finish a TP stained glass art piece I'm working on ― Nothing here. Haven't even touched it. Been on more of a writing kick lately anyhow.

Do something for Telink. I have several ideas but I'll need to see which actually goes anywhere. ― Got something started for this! And then a completely unrelated Telink fic as well! Because as much as I love to pretend otherwise I have a terrible attention span that does whatever it wants!

Also something for TP's 20th anniversary ― Not really worrying about this until it's considerably closer, so... yeah. Nothing.

Probably some kind of comic in here somewhere ― Honestly... I have maybe one idea for a comic currently. And I'm not terribly interested in it. I'm not sure I'm gonna be making any this year, but who knows? Maybe something will come up later that will make me insane. (Unless I count this silly short ALttP one, in which case, completed!)

If I finish MC fic, start publishing either my EoW or TP long fic ― Oh dear not even on my radar lately. Might change this out for different long fic thoughts as of late.

Ideally, write an original book. ― Uh. Made a couple of attempts it's just really hard to figure out one thing I like enough to commit to it.

Aaaand new goal:

Start writing and posting my Original Legend, Book of Ages! ― I've actually been doing a lot of planning on this one lately! Hence why I'm adding it. But also slightly giving myself world builder's disease with it but I'm going to try scaling back on that a bit soon bc I'm not really figuring out things anymore that are going to affect the beginning of the story. Anyhow, I'm hopeful that the starting posting will prove true for this one.

Thanks for the tag @mailrebel! This was fun... though I had to try to keep it more realistic than literally everything on my WIP list

My goals for 2026 are:

Finish my Minish Cap long fic!

Start on the TP collab!

Actually work on writing my BotW long fic

Finish the Link's Awakening Odyssey fic

Finish a TP stained glass art piece I'm working on

Do something for Telink. I have several ideas but I'll need to see which actually goes anywhere.

Also something for TP's 20th anniversary

@mailrebel gave an update on his goals, and since he challenged me to make my creativty goals for the year, it seemed like a good time to update my own! So, Accountability Squad aka My Internet Pals, here's where we stand:

Finish the WIPs I'm bringing into the new year with me! - I have finished... three of them? But there were about seven, and I've since added another idea to my plate.... so this is always going to be a revolving door I guess 😂

Participate in Zelink week 2026!! - This one isn't until summer, so I've got plenty of time to cook up ideas and then hope they can be smashed into the prompts we get!

Collab with @mailrebel like we're threatening to do - Discussions have been started and my incredibly long lead time has been taken into consideration 😂 but this will happen this year for sure!

Post at least two chapters for the OMH original legend! - We're about to wrap up an arc in this fic, so you better believe I'm trying to get myself hyped and hyperfocused on it!!!

Finish @poposusz gift on time so I can stop being a lame friend and actually finish a project not in crunch time🤣🤣 - I DID IT!!!! And posted just this past weekend, so here's a link if you haven't checked it out yet!
