Challenge #10: Rec a fanwork you did not create.
My first thought was this animatic, maybe because I first saw it via a rec here on Dreamwidth.
It's an animatic for The Murderbot Diaries. There are vague spoilers up through Network Effect, and a slight warning for blood and some body-horror (though it's pretty minor.)
I'd never heard the song ("I'm Not Your Hero" by Tegan and Sara) prior to this, but it's tied very well to the overarching plot and character arc for Murderbot; its struggle with whether its a person or not, and what kind of person it might be, and how it relates (and doesn't, and grows to) with the people around it.
The video probably doesn't make a LOT of sense if you haven't read the books, since it mostly focuses on specific plot points. At the same time, I think that even not knowing the books, you can trace the character arc that the video is portraying.
But really, I do highly recommend the series (The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, currently at five novellas and one novel.) If you haven't read them, you should! And the novel Network Effect and the series as a whole both won Hugo awards in 2021 for best novel and series, respectively.
Challenge #11 is to "interact with someone", which is a think I've been doing a lot of via commenting in journals and communities, ha.
