2017 fic year in review
Better late etc. etc! Last year, I posted 26 stories totaling 54,436 words, which is an increase over 2016 in both numbers. Also, all the words I posted in 2017 were actually written that year, as opposed to what happened in both 2016 and 2015, when the bulk of the wordcount was due to a story posted in that year, but largely written before then. So this is a good thing! I'm writing more!
Twenty-two different fandoms (including anthropomorphic hot sauces) are represented, as well as one original work. One story is a crossover which includes five fandoms (The Witcher, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Goblin Emperor, Six of Crows series, and Dragon Age), three of which only appear in that story in my 2017 works (ASOIAF and TGE, which I have written in previous years, and DA, which I have not), and two stories are fusions with fandoms I am not including in the total count (Temeraire, which I have not actually written anything in, and Rivers of London, which I have).
In 2016 all my fandoms were book fandoms. In 2017 I wrote in over half of the possible AO3 categories: Anime & Manga, Books and Literature, Cartoons & Comics & Graphic Novels, Movies, Other Media, TV Shows, and Video Games - that's 7/10 categories! I wrote two stories each for the graphic novel Anya's Ghost and for the Raven Cycle book series, one story plus one bit of crossover (so two-ish) for the Six of Crows series, and five stories for the videogame The Witcher (actually The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, but the games in the series aren't differentiated on AO3), which I think qualifies it as my main fandom of the year. Fandoms I wrote in for the first time in 2017: Anya's Ghost, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Hot Sauce (Anthropomorphic), the Old Kingdom series, the Six of Crows series, The Bedlam Stacks, the Divine Cities book series, the Giver series, the Invisible Library series, the Murderbot Diaries series, The Witcher, and Yuri!!! on Ice.
All stores except for one were written for fanwork exchanges, which is frequently the case for me! I think that I participated in more exchanges in 2017 than I ever have before: Chocolate Box, Night on Fic Mountain, Multifandom Drabble Exchange, Remix Revival, Femslash Exchange, Crossovering, Trick or Treat Exchange, and Yuletide. If I consider RR and MDE as the successors of Remix Redux and the Imzy MDE, and don't count previously writing a treat as participation, I did three new-to-me exchanges this year: Night on Fic Mountain, Femslash Exchange, and Crossovering.

drabbles (100 words exactly, I will die on that hill): 8, all but one for the Multifandom Drabble Exchange
ficlets (under 1000 words, excluding drabbles): 5
short stories (1001-10,000 words): 13
My longest story this year was 9045 words.
By AO3 stats for 2017: 54,436 words written, 678 kudos received, 119 comment threads, 79 bookmarks, and 7736 hits. (I am pretty sure these refer to only stories written in 2017, not e.g kudos received on any story in 2017.)
This is the second year in a row that I've written more f/f than m/m, and also the second year in a row that I've written equal numbers of f/f and het stories. It is the fourth year in a row that a plurality of my stories are gen. For the most part I'm uninterested in reading porn these days, and that is reflected in what I feel like writing, I suppose.
All but three stories are in past tense, and all but one are in third person; that one is in second person, my second story ever in second person. (And both of those are in present tense!)

A selection of meme questions - as usual, I've dropped a few from last year, and added a few I've seen around that sounded interesting.
My favorite story this year:
I can't choose among my children. In fact, I started to answer this question with three different stories, and each time erased it thinking no, maybe this other one is my favorite.... Really, I love nearly all the stories I wrote this year, with a few glaring exceptions.
Most popular story:
By both hits and kudos, and as a tie by bookmarks, it's A Fiend in Need, which possibly not coincidentally is my only E-rated story this year. (M/M noncon bestiality, and my favorite tag on it is "Not actually as dark as it might appear from the tags.") By comment threads it's The Pirate and the Mermaid.
Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
I admit that I was rather hoping Through Space and Time would find more of an audience in the Witcher fandom, but alas no. But as I said in my Yuletide reveal post, the important audience was my recipient, and she said she loved it; and also, to some extent I wrote it for myself because I've asked for similar things in other exchanges. So I am not really complaining.
Most controversial story:
I took some heat in the comments of The Bosom that Makes the Home about my interpretation of Yennefer. (Which interpretation, I feel, was justified by the gameplay to the point where the story is set. I admit that after finishing the game, I liked her a bit more.) But this wasn't a fandom-wide wank, or anything like that (fortunately).
Most fun to write:
In Roaring He Shall Rise, because Aubreyisms and tentacles.
Hardest to write:
This Just and Moral World was originally just the first two sections, intended as a vignette, but my beta (rightfully) pointed out that it didn't feel complete. Because I hadn't actually thought about where things would go after that point, I had to struggle to turn it into a real story, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.
Easiest to write:
It feels like cheating to pick a drabble, but My Sin pretty much sprang into my head fully-formed when I saw the prompt for Frannie/Maggie.
Biggest disappointment:
I'm not happy with two of the drabbles I wrote, One More Earthly Pleasure and Aboard the Psi-Ship Foxway. They were both written for fandom-friends who I wanted to do something for in the drabble fest, and I think they both have solid ideas at heart, but both really needed more than drabble format to do them justice.
Biggest surprise:
In a general sense, I'm surprised to find myself more interested in writing femslash, and in certain femslash pairings. I have a theory that this is because my sex drive has declined with menopause, and so I'm more interested in the relationship aspect of pairings than in the sexual aspect, and in the canons I'm interested in at the moment this is seen more in the femslash pairings than anywhere else. But I don't know, really! In terms of a particular story that surprised me, as I mentioned in my Yuletide reveal post I was bemused that Stars and Crossbones insisted on being a Space AU, and that I made no progress when I tried to de-space-ify it.
Favorite title:
A Fiend in Need, because as I said last year, bad puns are the best. But I also really, really love Stars and Crossbones, and if YOU are the coalie who came up with it, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I think I shall dispense with my favorite opening and closing and anywhere lines because none of them are particularly memorable. I write for the sum total of the story told, not for the zingers.
Top five scenes you would like to see illustrated:
Araioa and Charlie smooching in one of the underwater bubble-rooms (The Pirate and the Mermaid)
Lirael and Nick smooching as their car falls apart (No Place Like)
Thaniel's synesthetic impression of Keita (To Paint a Symphony (Arrangement for Solo Piano))
The fiend looming over Geralt (A Fiend in Need)
Jack attacking the kraken as Stephen tries to continue sketching a nudibranch while being squeezed by a tentacle (In Roaring He Shall Rise)
I was going to say that these are in no particular order, and for the most part this is true; but damn, Jack and Stephen vs the kraken, I really really want that!
Looking back, did you write more stories than you thought you would this year, fewer than you thought, or about what you predicted?
More! Yay! Partly because I sort of had a fandom this year (The Witcher), partly because I decided to sign up for some new-to-me exchanges, and partly because I got inspired and wrote ALL THE THINGS for Trick or Treat Exchange. I mean, admittedly, a good handful of the stories I wrote this year were drabbles, and writing seven of them for the Multifandom Drabble Exchange was part of it as well, but I also wrote more words total than I thought I would this year.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
Yuri!!! On Ice, which I had watched when it first aired due to the general fandom excitement all over my flist, but didn't feel particularly drawn to either for reading or for writing. But it was one of the fandoms
Merit had requested for Trick or Treat, and I wanted to write her lots of stories - and she'd prompted bodyswap, which is one of my favorite tropes ever, so I couldn't resist.
Story that could have been better?
See "Biggest disappointment", above.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
The Pirate and the Mermaid, while not my first original work for a fandom exchange, was the first substantial one. I learned that I like worldbuilding, and that I actually can write original stories.
Leitmotif of the year and the story that demonstrates it the best:
I hate to say it because it's a cliché, but 2017 appears to have been my year of Awesome Ladies. I wrote a lot of stories about women: women stealing books, women being pirates, women being pirates IN SPACE, women healing each other's emotional and physical wounds, women standing up for themselves, women figuring out what's going on before the men do. And my peak Awesome Ladies story this year was, I think, The Pirate and the Mermaid: women reaching across the cultural gulf between them to work together against the world of men.
What's next for 2018?
I've got bits of a Ciri/Cerys (The Witcher) story that I started writing as a treat for a Yuletide pinch hitter; I hope to finish it as a NYR. I also have a few bits of other Witcher stories that I've begun but haven't done anything with. Speaking of last year's meme, I said: I would like to acquire a new fandom with more activity than my current tiny ones, but at this point I have no clue what that might be. That happened this year with The Witcher, though I'm not as obsessed with it as I was earlier in the year (though that may change after reading the novels).
I'm planning on signing up for the Worldbuilding Exchange, which would be a new one for me this year. Other than that, I expect I will be doing my usual exchanges, and maybe actually trying to write more than one story that isn't for an exchange!
