Battleship 2025 Bucket List

[peasina]

Teams have been announced for this year's battleshipex - I'm on Team Strawberry! 🍓🍓🍓

I’ve been chatting with peaked about our goals for this year's event, and I decided to go ahead and write a bucket list. I find that posting stuff here on my journal helps me make it happen, so here are my top ten wishes for this year’s event.

1. Make at least 10 Pokémon works
I’m splitting this one up into writing at least five things, making at least three pieces of art, and recording at least two podfics. I think I’ll struggle most with the writing one, but I do love a challenge.

2. Make a 10k podfic for a boss
It was last year’s Battleship that jocundasykes finally convinced me to try punch and roll editing with my podfic. It was only through this that I realised I can record much longer stories much more easily, as the editing won’t be a nightmare! In fact, for last year's Battleship I recorded 10.5 hours of podfic, whereas in all prior Battleships combined I recorded 6 hours total. Wild!

3. Create works that contain all three of my claimed tags
My claimed tags were bisexual character, sutures, and condom use. I’m excited to see where they’ll appear on the boards!

4. Write 10k (in total)
I’ve barely written a thing so far this year, so this is quite the lofty goal for me.

5. Pick up a new canon and create something for it
I’ve loved doing this in previous Battleships for treatless people. It’s so fun, and I have my fair share of 5-minute fandoms so I know how much joy a gift for them can bring :)

6. Make something for at least 10 of my pre-Battleship prompt claims
I have made 20 claims as of posting this bucket list, so that’s half of them. I’m confident.

7. Reach work cap for at least one round
I reached work cap in one round last year, so it’ll be fun to repeat that if possible.

8. Write something that a podficcer on my team podfics
I’d be honoured and excited! There are already offers in our collab channel for podfics of written works for double-tapping the board squares, so I'll be sure to take people up on them ^^

9. Make new friends
🤞🤞🤞

10. Write fic for a canon I know but have never written for before
Battleship always gets me out of my comfort zone, so I’m really hoping this will happen. I recently played the Date Everything game... perhaps that will be the one, but we'll see!

Good luck pea!! :D I've been debating making a request again this year and ended up nominating some stuff lol. I still need to go through the freeforms and pick tags though o7
