a meme stolen from the wonderful and illustrious snickfic
Despite everything else that happened this year, my productivity was at an all-time high? I can't even explain it... I mean... I guess I'll just let you read the answers to all the questions. I wrote about 358,590 words as far as my calculations go. 92(ish) stories [[btvs- 36; revo- 14; arrow- 10; tvd- 9]] and we all know I love a good crossover so many of those are probably parcels of each other.
It's been a hell of a writing year. I think what I'm most proud of (for myself) is that I can actually sit down and write something - a one-off or multi-chaptered story - that is between 10-20k without feeling like there is a huge weight on my shoulder. All of my longer pieces are generally between 15-20k and some of them (not all) are one-offs that I either wrote in one sitting or wrote so quickly/in such a way that they were posted as a single piece. Which... after years of tapping out around 3k or at 1500 word chapters, seeing that increase in word count was pretty spectacular.
[fic in review]Leitmotif(s) of the year: The beginning of the year was mostly femme fic which was lovely. Siblingcest became a standard ~thing? which wasn't entirely unexpected but also new. Last year there were more threesomes compared to this year? the orgyfest in September pumped up Revolution like woah.
Mostly the big thing this year? I finished shit?! Long stuff. Up until this year, my one and only "long" piece was Noona and now I have several 10k+ stories under my belt. Some are unfinished, but just as many ARE.
My best story of this year: signifying nothing is probably one of the best things that I have ever written. It's long, it's finished, it's ~good, people who read it tend to like it. It's GEN.
What’s your favorite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you the happiest. #hashtag this was my first story of the year and the one that I still think back on and go hot damn holy jesus i actually WROTE that and it makes me super happy
Okay, NOW your most popular story. According to ao3, sorry about the blood in my mouth, it isn't all mine a one-shot tommy/thea/oliver piece got over 900 hits. After that (by hits) it's take back everything you took which is possibly my second favorite Revolution piece that I wrote this year. Which is actually my top in terms of kudos for this year.
Story of mine most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Probably #hashtag this, honestly. Also the Saltzman-sisters fic which no one has read..... Let's be clear: I mostly write crossover lesbian fic which means that I'm pretty much ignored by fandom. Which is fine :)
Story that could have been better? More like: which story could I have actually Finished? Pomegranates, Badly Done, and if I say yes. They are all decent enough pieces, but they desperately need to be finished. Especially if I say yes. If anyone has read it and can figure out what could/should happen next? That'd be awesome.
Sexiest story? Probably my Nora-seduces-Bass-for-Miles piece or if I say yes bc the Charlie/Bass/Helen-of-Troy of it all is HOT, honestly.
Hardest story to write: if I say yes has been terribly difficult. also some of the exchanges done primarily because I just didn't know WHAT to do?
Easiest story to write? let's sing a song came out so easy. so, so easy. My first longer(ish) story. and it wasn't a struggle at all. Also, strangely enough, it takes an eclipse was ~hard but not exactly hard - it was so damn easy it wasn't hard.
Holy crap, that's wrong even for you The Saltzman sisters adventures. 16k of siblingcest that I trace from childhood to adulthood? what the hell self?
Story I haven't yet written, but intend to: I need to finish the things that I've half-done this year. Please tell me if there's something that I told you I'd do and never started? I guess?
