I wouldn't say I learned anything new, but I did make some new friends, interacted with some other new people, and marveled again at how diverse fandom is. I was pleased to participate in so many of the days this year. usually work is a bear and I have to quit at Day 04 or thereabouts. Participating for the full 15 Days definitely made a difference in how much the challenge affected me. It kind of renewed my faith in journaling as a platform for fandom interaction, and my love for it.

It's kind of funny, but since I had finally seen Star Wars (finally) which included the trailer for Civil War during this same period, I no longer had to avoid Tumblr, but I found I hadn't missed Tumblr at all, and was reluctant to go back. I finally did, but I've been hit or miss about it, and find I am interested in less of the content than I had been. Pretty pictures are still pretty, but that's about it for my feelings for Tumblr. Dw/LJ, on the other hand, has been so much fun that it was a stark contrast. I know people will drop off after the challenge, but I am hoping a couple more than usual stick around and join in the fun long-term.
