communal_creators is a creative challenge where you pledge to be creative for a certain amount of time daily OR to finish projects of varying size. We have writers, yarn artists, vidders, bakers, someone making music - if it's creative, it counts. The current round ended last night, so here is a recap of what I did during the month.

I had pledged Time Tier II, to average 30 minutes a day of creative activity. I didn't pledge to finish any projects, because most of projects were massive things that I likely couldn't complete in a month's time.

Crochet saw the most activity, with Smallweb coming second. I crocheted on 20 days and touched 5 different projects. The majority of the work went to my Motion Picture Mosaic Cardi, which saw 13 hours of activity.

"Smallweb" was my moniker for work on my Neocities site. This saw a LOT of work in September because smallweb September was happening and double-dipping on challenges? {Yes, please.} I did smallweb work on 12 days, with 8 of those being in September for 10 hours. Another 3.5 hours happened in October. This was the area that saw most success, I feel; I finished copying over files from Dreamwidth which meant FFBE season 1 is DONE. I also completed documentation for FFXI:Rise of the Zilart and started Chains of Promathia. I'm quite pleased with the work I did, though I need to get back to it if I ever want to finish the site.

Knitting was my third most active category. I knitted on 13 days, on 5 different projects. Most active was the Central Park Hoodie, which saw ~5 hours 40 minutes.

I am VERY PLEASED that some of my creative activity took the shape of writing, and that's thanks to ladiesbingo. I worked on THREE different fics for it! That's so exciting to me! Alas, it quickly fell off, and I didn't touch the writing in the last two weeks. I'd really like to get back to it sometime, but finding time is the problem. Also, I need to do some canon review.

I feel this round of communal_creators was a qualified success. I'm very pleased with my output. Thanks to senmut for hosting!
