For the final day of #DecRecs I want to do something a little different: self recs!

So please tell me about something you made that you are proud of!

I'm going to do a thread of stuff I wrote in 2024

I'm super proud of my first posted translation for classical Chinese! This is cumulation of years of study, and I learned so much working on it. Not only language skills but also a lot about historical Daoism

I also posted "Chinese History Starter Pack" for the people who ask me where to start reading more about Chinese history! This rec list includes both books and papers with a little bit about why each one

My essay "On Cozy SFF" was one of those that needed a lot of time on the back-burner but was worth all the thinking. Turns out that cozy SFF is complicated and I have a lot to say about it

And the notes for Harmonious Kinship got so out of hand I decided to make an Annotated Bibliography as a separate work. It's designed to be readable even if you haven't read the fic or seen the drama its based on

@Forestofglory Made some images, had a laugh whenever I could...

I made a fun sci-fi adjacent zine called "Perhaps You Might Try The Soup" for #FediZineFest (which is a free DL here:)

https://pestojaguar.itch.io/perhapsyoumighttrythesoup-0 and I'm working on a second issue, as well as a new zine for #FediZineFest2025

It's felt like a productive year, even though I have not released as much as I would like to!
