Total word count in 2015: 35637.
Only 64% of last year's word count and also fewer stories, but I've been dealing with some pretty intense personal issues in 2016, so I'm not surprised that the total is lower. There were also a couple stories posted as graphics, so the word count from those isn't in the total. The July watsons_woes challenge is once again responsible for the lion's share of what I wrote this year.
List of the top 10 most Favorited stories of the ones I have mirrored over at Fanfiction.net:
Carjacking
It Takes A Village
Write or Die, Moriarty Mode
The Simple Joys of Home
Where Monsters Fear to Roam
Building Dean Van Halen
A Restless Pillow
Why Sam is Taller than Dean
Newer Every Day
Rituals of the Road
A stunning change as Carjacking has overtaken longstanding list topper "It Takes a Village"! I never thought anything would unseat that one. The rest, not much change at all.
And here's the list of the Top 5 most 'kudosed' stories I have on AO3:
Night of the Breathing Dead
The Fire
A Conspiracy of Cooks
Splinter of Doubt
Building Dean Van Halen
"Night of the Breathing Dead still on top and has over 400 Kudos now (Eep!) The Fire has shot up to second, and "Building Dean Van Halen" is an older Supernatural story I wrote, and the only non-Sherlock story in the top 5, which makes me smile.
2015's stats, mostly for my own reference.
Have a happy and safe New Year everyone.
