September 1st: The BOMFF

One year ago today the first post went up on this blog and it has been a learning curve since but one I am very glad I started.

It feels right that something should be done for the occasion but I wasn’t really sure what I was going to post to commemorate it. To that effect I have come to this decision.

I have been brainstorming some new ideas for The BOMFF for awhile, and this anniversary feels like no better a day to introduce them to you. So, without further ado, let’s dive in shall we?

Sink or Sail

Now, at this point I feel like you may have gathered that during the watching of some of my favourite pieces of media I can be quite invested in some of the relationships at the centre.

To that effect, let me introduce to you a new genre of posts I’m working on entitled “Sink or Sail”. You will be able to find this along the menu bar, just as you do Fortnightly Fixations and Random Rambles posts. These posts will discuss a variety of ships within the fandoms of the pieces of media I’ve watched, with a mix of objective and subjective looks at them. Ultimately deciding whether the ship will ‘sink’ or ‘sail’. I may even do polls, if I can find a good way to do so.

I am not going to guarantee that I will start posting under this in the immediate future, but it is officially in the works! So, be on the look out for these.

Analytical Adorations

I do like my alliteration.

I wanted an area for specific more, detailed looks at aspects of media. Fortnightly Fixations, has a deeper look here and there, but it is, of course, intentionally driven by whatever I am watching at that moment, and whether a post is a ramble, a catch up or something a little more detailed varies greatly depending on my available time, and at what point in a series I am come Friday.

Random Rambles has been filling this role when necessary, but again… they are, a ramble, quite intentionally. A nice encompassing category to post anything from a holiday post, to an anniversary to something that’s just been irritating me that might come outside of the FF schedule. I want to keep Random Rambles free flowing, and to that effect instead I have “Analytical Adorations”.

Everything I write, I write with love, and these posts intend to lean more towards analysis (with great appreciation). You will be able to find this category in the menu as well once it is live. I have posts planned to go under it, but they will take me some time, which is kind of the intention with this header. So, again, don’t expect anything immediately, but be on the look out for stuff to eventually start popping up under there.

These posts may be on specific episodes, or a season, maybe a character or arc. Just a deeper dive at something in particular. The planning, rewatching and research needing to be done. I debated having subcategories for these, but for now I have decided to leave it to just the one and we’ll reassess at a later date.

One More Thing

I have renamed the subcategory of ‘Comments on Completion’ to ‘Complete Comments’. What can I say? I do like my alliteration, but hopefully this is also a little less bulky (if only by a few letters). It is otherwise exactly the same, and all the posts you could previously find there can still be found there.

I think that covers announcements at the moment, so I will finish with this…

Thank you

Genuinely, I don’t know how many of you out there are reading these posts and follow along, or maybe you just read the odd one. Maybe I’m shouting into the void. Irregardless, thank you.

I have this blog because I enjoy it, and I do enjoy it just so much. I am very glad I started it. I write for myself as much as I do those who end up reading it, and I am thankful for everyone who is reading it.

The BOMFF stands for The Blogification of My Fandom Fixations. It is a mess that is growing and learning as it goes along, more often than not driven by my current addiction and the thoughts I can’t keep inside my head. It is love I have put on a page. It’s not always neat, but it’s adored. It might be messy but… it is a mess I am proud of, and glad to have shared with those out there.

Thank you.

With that said…

Thanks!

For reading this post and all the others.
