Small Web September Check-In 5: Wrap-Up!

And now, the end is near... And so I face the final check-in... 🎶

It's already time for our very last check-in for Small Web September!

If you can believe it, we're already on the last day of Small Web September. How is everyone doing? Maybe you feel super organised and productive and have hit every single one of your goals - or maybe you feel like there simply hasn't been enough time in the month to do what you wanted to do. (I feel you 100%). Maybe it's somewhere in the middle!

Whatever your status, congrats on getting to this point and for taking part in the challenge! Even if you feel like you didn't hit enough of your goals, setting out to do something new with your small web project(s) is awesome on its own. Taking part in the comments and community around SWS is excellent! (I'm totally unbiased with this one, of course :D) Or maybe you're making plans for what you can accomplish when your schedule lets up a bit.

Here are some questions to use for this check-in:
  • What did you work on during Small Web September?
  • What's next for your small web plans? Where will you go from here?
This is the fifth of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event, but there’s no cut-off point for leaving comments on these. You can add something at any time, and you don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but all discussion is welcome.

In a few days, I'll also post a feedback post where people can share how they found the challenge and maybe give some thoughts on the next iteration (which, all being well, I'd love to run again!). Thank you all for taking part and making this a fantastic challenge! I hope you've enjoyed it <3

This was fun! I loved seeing what other people are working on - and also, how many people are working on something! I did a good bit of oldschool browsing, that was great.

I didn't really manage all my goals, but I did get something done and the check-in prompts reminded me that I should, which was very helpful. My list:

  • import all fanfic from 2023 - not finished. Fanfic importing is a bit of a chore and there were more shiny things to do. I did import a new fic I published in September, though!
  • Add three things on my /nope page - Success! Here's the page, in case you're curious.
  • Add three more fanfic recs - also done! Behold: the reclist
  • Turn the three meta posts I have on AO3 into pages of some sort - not done. I'm still interested in this one though.

Thanks for running this event! I really enjoyed it.
